Marques, Rui; Silva, Rui; Silva, Maria JoãoO projeto PRISMAC – Análise, Mitigação e Gestão do Risco de Movimentos de Vertente Potenciados pelas Alterações Climáticas na Macaronésia (ref.ª 1/MAC/2/2.4/0112) enquadra-se na necessidade de promover o desenvolvimento sustentável de regiões ultraperiféricas, nas quais fatores meteorológicos adversos, frequentemente agravados pelas alterações climáticas, contribuem para desequilíbrios ambientais e para a ocorr...
Fault-mediated magma propagation and triggered seismicity revealed by the 2022 ...
Hicks, Stephen P.; Gonzalez, Pablo J.; Lomax, Anthony; Ferreira, Ana M. G.; Ramalho, Ricardo S.; Mitchell, Neil C.; Silveira, Graça; Dias, Nuno AfonsoAbstract Understanding failed volcanic eruptions is key to mapping magma plumbing and forecasting hazards. Faults and fractures guide magma, but their mechanisms remain unclear due to the lack of precise earthquake locations andlimited3-Dfaultmappinginvolcanicregions.The triple-junction setting of the Azores Archipelago, where volcanic systems and seismogenic faults coexist, offers a natural laboratory to study...
Monitorização da cinemática de um movimento de vertente com recurso a uma estaç...
Silva, Rui Fagundes; Marques, RuiRESUMO: Em março de 2010, um deslizamento do tipo rotacional com 18.500 m2 causou vários danos na Maia (ilha de Santa Maria). De forma a avaliar o comportamento cinemático e a geometria da massa instável, foi arquitetada e implementada uma rede de monitorização inclinométrica e uma rede de monitorização geodésica permanente. Os resultados da rede geodésica demonstram um padrão de deformação espacial heterogéneo...
Neoplasia de Pulmão: Tratamento por Radioterapia
Ramos, Ana; Rato , Margarida; Sousa , Vera; Costa, Ana; Marques, RuiEnquadramento: Mundialmente, a neoplasia de pulmão apresenta-se como a mais mortal e a segunda mais diagnosticada [1–2]. Esta neoplasia é classificada em dois subtipos principais: neoplasia de pulmão de não pequenas células (85%) e neoplasia de pulmão de pequenas células (15%) [2]. O tratamento é complexo e pode envolver múltiplas modalidades de tratamento, incluindo a radioterapia (RT) [3]. Objetivo: Pretende-...
Verbal mood in descriptions of denials of facts
Marques, RuiThe meaning of sentences that express the refusal of a fact involves two propositions: a complement clause that describes a fact, and the matrix proposition, that expresses the non-acceptance of the truth of the embedded proposition. In Portuguese, the mood that occurs in the complement clause is not the same in all constructions that convey this meaning. In some constructions, although there is an alternation ...
IMPACT OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION ON COVID-19
Cunha, Inês; Aparício, Daniel; Lopes, Andreia; Bagnari, Inês; Cunha, Joana; Marques, Rui; Romão, VeraIntroduction: SARS-CoV-2 binds to host cells through the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. Several studies have suggested that hypertensive individuals, due to the overexpression of this enzyme in alveolar epithelial cells, may have a higher risk of contracting COVID-19 and having a more serious illness. In fact, arterial hypertension has been described as one of the most frequent comorbidities in patients with ...
IMPACT OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION ON HEMORRHAGIC STROKE
Cunha, Inês; Cunha, Joana; Matos, César; Machado, Sara; Pinto, Ana; Agudo, Margarida; Assunção, António; Andrade, Joana; Marques, Rui; Romão, VeraIntroduction: Cerebrovascular diseases continue to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although less frequent than ischemic strokes, hemorrhagic strokes have higher mortality rates and have arterial hypertension (AHT) as the main risk factor. Objectives: Analyze the prevalence of AHT in patients hospitalized for hemorrhagic stroke, the demographic characteristics of this populatio...
SARS-COV-2: An Intruder In The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
Cunha, Inês; Aparício, Daniel; Lopes, Andreia; Bagnari, Inês; Cunha, Joana; Marques, Rui; Romão, VeraIntroduction: The new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) uses angiotensin-2 converting enzyme (ACE 2) to enter cells. It is theorized that the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) would increase this enzyme expression, raising the hypothesis that these drugs increase the susceptibility to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)...
Visual Patterns of U16 athletes and professional basketball players
Marques, Rui; Dias, Gonçalo; M. L. Martins, Fernando; Gomes, Ricardo; Mendes, Rodrigo; Martinho, Diogo V.This work aimed to compare the visual patterns of under 16 (U16) athletes and professional basketball players. The sample was composed of 10 U16 (aged 15.2 ± 0.4 years; 7.1 ± 2.5 years of experience) and 10 professional (aged 27.6 ± 3.7 years; 18.4 ± 4.6 years of experience) basketball players. All athletes were males and right-handed. Each participant performed 50 jump shots from 10 different positions and 5 d...
Spatial distribution, temporal trends and impact of landslides on São Miguel Is...
Silva, Rui Fagundes; Marques, Rui; Zêzere, JoséLandslides are the most frequent type of natural hazard in the Azores archipelago, primarily due to the volcanic nature and geomorphologic features of the islands. The NATHA (Natural Hazards in Azores) database is a repository of documents reporting those natural disaster events that have occurred on the Azores since their settlement in the mid-ffteenth century. This work presents and explores the landslide eve...
