Predictive Value of DeltoidTuberosity Index in PlateOsteosynthesis of ProximalF...

Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures (PHF) are considered fragility fractures, with increasing incidence in the elderly. Several risk factors negatively influence osteosynthesis outcomes, including age, bone density and medial hinge comminution. Age ≥65 is often considered a decision threshold in treatment algorithms. The deltoid tuberosity index (DTI) is a simple, reproducible method to evaluate local bone...

Dealing with the facts of life: the management of intra-party factionalism in t...

Factionalism is an important element in parties' internal life, affecting their policies, strategies, electoral performance and even survival. Yet little is known about how parties manage factionalism. This study examines how radical left parties (RLPs) manage factionalism, drawing on a comparative case study of four RLPs – the Spanish Podemos and United Left (IU), and the Portuguese Left Bloc (BE) and Communis...

Xylitol Production by Debaryomyces hansenii in Extracted Olive Pomace Dilute-Ac...

ABSTRACT: The extracted olive pomace (EOP) is an industrial lignocellulosic by-product of olive pomace oil extraction, currently mainly used for energy production through combustion. In this work, the hemicellulosic fraction of EOP was selectively hydrolyzed by diluted acid hydrolysis to obtain pentose-rich hydrolysates that can potentially be upgraded by Debaryomyces hansenii, targeting xylitol production. The...

Classificação de dígitos manuscritos

This article aims to introduce some concepts related to Artificial Intelligence, more specifically Machine Learning, and to present an example of a project related to the classification of handwritten digits in Python. To do so, this article follows a project studied in one of our classes of «AI», complemented by literature on the subject. Finally, the article presents results obtained by testing the algorithms...

Poder social e cultural do design visual

O objectivo principal deste projecto passa por entender o poder representativo da linguagem visual, das suas técnicas, meios e processos, colocando o designer como alguém que tem um papel fulcral na produção da cultura visual contemporânea. Entendido, hoje em dia, mais como um pensador visual do que como um gráfico, o designer tem a capacidade técnica e mental para modelar mensagens de forma a criar uma tensão ...

Detoxification of hemicellulosic hydrolysates from extracted olive pomace by di...

Xylitol can be obtained from the pentose-rich hemicellulosic fraction of agricultural residues, such as extracted olive pomace, by fermentation. Dilute acid hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials, produces the release of potential inhibitory compounds mainly furan derivatives, aliphatic acids, and phenolic compounds. In order to study the potential on the increase of the hydrolysate fermentability, detoxificat...

Dialogism in detail: Per Linell’s Rethinking language, mind, and world dialogic...

Per Linell’s (2009) book Rethinking language, mind, and world dialogically offers an integrated view upon the many strands of Dialogism, establishing itself as an essential reference to the field. In this review of his book we aim to discuss a few selected topics, building upon these with our own views. Initially, we focus on the relevance and urgency of such book by summing up the most important dialogical con...
