Optimization of enzymes production by Aspergillus niger in solid state fermenta...

The agri-food industry generates significant amounts of by-products that are often discarded or used in low-value applications. Solid by-products of lignocellulolytic structure have been proved to be suitable substrates in solid-state fermentation (SSF) to produce carbohydrases, that have many industrial applications [1]. In this work, the by-products brewer's spent grain (BSG), rice husk (RH), and vine shoot t...

A representação social do trabalho numa amostra portuguesa

Parece existir um conjunto de ideias geradas e partilhadas socialmente sobre o trabalho que afetam o significado do trabalho para o grupo, bem como para o indivíduo. Nesta premissa, considerámos pertinente conhecer a representação social do trabalho. Esta análise foi realizada através de uma metodologia de evocações livres, que permitiu definir a estrutura organizada dos conceitos associados ao trabalho, determ...

Female Entrepreneurship: A Grouped Division of Europe and Central Asia

The constant changes in sociocultural conditions in the global market and the tremendous growth in the number of women's companies culminates in the growing interest in research on female entrepreneurship (Brush, 1992; Moreira et al., 2019). The main objective of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of how the economies of Europe and Central Asia group in terms of female entrepreneurship. The r...

Using genomics to understand the origin and dispersion of multidrug and extensi...

Portugal is a low incidence country for tuberculosis (TB) disease. Now figuring among TB low incidence countries, it has since the 1990s reported multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant (XDR) TB cases, driven predominantly by two strain-types: Lisboa3 and Q1. This study describes the largest characterization of the evolutionary trajectory of M/XDR-TB strains in Portugal, spanning a time-period of two...

Emergence of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis of the Beijing line...

The Beijing genotype comprises a highly disseminated strain type that is frequently associated with multidrug resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) and increased transmissibility but, countries such as Portugal and Guinea-Bissau fall outside the regions phylogeographically associated with this specific genotype. Nevertheless, recent data shows that this genotype might be gradually emerging in these two countries as...

CPLP-TB: a new tuberculosis transnational surveillance tool for the lusophone c...

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem within the Community of Portuguese Language Speaking Countries (CPLP). Despite the marked variation in TB incidence across its member-states and continued human migratory flux between countries, a considerable gap in the knowledge on the Mycobacterium tuberculosis population structure and strain circulation between the countries still exists. To address this, we ...
