Reabilitação vestibular à pessoa com hipofunção vestibular periférica em fase a...
Lopes, Patrícia; Moreira, Helena; Mendes, EugéniaA vertigem é uma causa frequente de assistência médica, sendo um sintoma não específico e muitas vezes incapacitante (Macedo, 2010). Cerca de 20% das pessoas entre os 18 e os 65 anos terão já sentido uma perturbação no equilíbrio, mantendo 30% destas as queixas ao fim de 12 meses (Rasteiro, 2018). A persistência da tontura pode dever-se a estratégias compensatórias inadequadas após um episódio vestibular agudo ...
Which Preschool Skills Predict School Readiness?
Oliveira, Inês; Duarte, Nuno; Vian, Frederica; Lopes, Patrícia; Pereira, Susana; Afonso, SilviaSchool readiness (SR), the ability or preparedness of children to start schooling, depends on multiple factors, such as personal traits, sociocultural and familiar aspects, school context, education regulation and inclusion policies. Children who start schooling more prepared are most likely to achieve a higher academic level.Our objectives was to identify which preschool skills predict SR and to summarize gene...

Detection of exposed steel rebars based on deep-learning techniques and unmanne...
Santos, R.; Ribeiro, Diogo; Lopes, Patrícia; Cabral, R.; Calçada, R.In recent years deep-learning techniques have been developed and applied to inspect cracks in RC structures. The accuracy of these techniques leads to believe that they may also be applied to the identification of other pathologies. This article proposes a technique for automated detection of exposed steel rebars. The tools developed rely on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) based on transfer-learning using ...
Self-care in heart failure inpatients: what Is the role of gender and pathophys...
Delgado, Bruno; Lopes, Ivo; Mendes, Tânia; Lopes, Patrícia; Sousa, Luís; Lopez-Espuela, Fidel; Preto, Leonel; Mendes, Eugénia; Gomes, BárbaraHeart failure is often characterised by low exercise capacity and a great impairment of performance in the activities of daily living. The correct management of the disease can prevent the worsening of symptoms and promote a better quality of life. The aims of this study are to understand the relationship of gender and pathophysiological characteristics with self-care behaviour and to evaluate the self-care beh...

Railway critical speed assessment: A simple experimental-analytical approach
Costa, Pedro Alves; Soares, Paulo; Colaço, Aires; Lopes, Patrícia; Connolly, DavidWhen constructing a new railway line, its long length means there are significant financial implications associated with determining the geodynamic ground properties. Therefore, this paper presents recommendations to optimize the efficiency and depth of such a geotechnical site investigation. Firstly, a numerical analysis is performed to investigate the effect of soil layering, soil stiffness and track bending ...
