LINA: an augmented reality social game enhancing sense of belonging among class...
Krammer, Ina; Mittmann, Gloria; Nater, Urs M.; Barnard, Adam; Martins, Diogo; Dias, João; Schrank, Beate; Woodcock, Kate A.Supportive peer relationships are fundamental in the development of well-being. Since early adolescents spend a lot of time at school, especially in their classroom, a sense of belonging among classmates plays a pivotal role for mental health and academic functioning. Programs that enhance sense of belonging among classmates through improving peer relationships in classrooms are rare. Given that early adolescen...
An endoribonuclease of the YicC-like family delays sporulation via sRNA degrada...
Martins, Diogo; Salgueiro, Bruno; Sobral, Daniel; Gragera, Marcos; Hensel, Zach; Henriques, Adriano O.; Romão, Célia V.; Serrano, MónicaClostridioides difficile CD25890 is a YicC-like endoribonuclease involved in regulating sporulation initiation, a process critical for the host-host transmission of this anaerobic pathogen. Using comparative transcriptomics we identified a small RNA, SQ528, that accumulates at higher levels in a CD25890 deletion mutant and we show that purified CD25890 cleaves SQ528 in a metal-dependent manner. Moreover, the ov...

Martins, Diogo; Nobre, Clarisse; Almeida-Antunes, Natália; Azevedo, Pedro; Sousa, Sónia S.; Crego, Alberto; Cryan, John; Sampaio, AdrianaIntroduction Adolescence and youth are periods of significant maturational changes, which seem to involve greater susceptibility to disruptive events in the brain, such as binge drinking (BD). This patterncharacterised by repeated episodes of alcohol intoxicationis of particular concern, as it has been associated with significant alterations in the developing brain. Recent evidence indicates that alcohol may al...

The post-pandemic inflation debate : a critical review
Martins, DiogoThis article provides a critical review of the post-pandemic inflation debate. The first part structures the debate through the classification of the arguments into two broad categories (the neoclassical view and the critical political economy view) along with several subcategories. The classification is informed by the positions assumed by debate participants regarding the origin and propagation mechanisms of ...
Toxic and non-toxic cyanobacterial biomass as a resource for sustainable agricu...
Massa, Anabella; Santos, Érica; Martins, Diogo; Azevedo, Joana; Reimão, Mariana; Almeida, Agostinho; Azevedo, Rui; Pinto, Edgar; Vasconcelos, VítorCyanobacteria represent a promising resource for sustainable agriculture, as they have demonstrated the ability to restore soil fertility even after death and decay. However, several cyanobacteria can also release secondary metabolites, such as cyanotoxins, which may compromise the quality of agricultural products and pose a potential risk to human health. Depending on the concentration of exposure, few studies...
