Context: the needs of the family with patients in palliative care are complex, and they need ongoing assessment and support. The nurses who look after these families have the Dynamic Model for Evaluation and Family Intervention (DMEFI) as a theoretical and operational reference to assist them. Objective: determine the health benefits of implementing the DMEFI in the nursing of the family with patients in pallia...
Para proteger grandes quantidades de dados de ações não autorizadas é necessário um bom controlo de acesso e com isso garantindo a segurança dos dados. Os sistemas de gestão de bases de dados são os principais guardiões de dados, armazenando e gerindo o acesso a estes dados nos sistemas informáticos. É sobre estes que incidem ameaças e riscos no que respeita a fugas de informação. A dissertação aqui apresentada...
Production environments are becoming more complex and dynamics. This is influenced by external factors related with products' characteristics and costumers' requirements and internal factors related with processing times variability, machine failures, setup times, between others. To face this increasing complexity and dynamics, it is crucial to have effective production control methods, considering Interoperabi...

Cannabinoid intoxication is rare among the paediatric age, and a high level of suspicion is crucial for the diagnosis. We report two cases of paediatric cannabinoid intoxication that presented with neurologic manifestations (seizure and altered consciousness). Urine toxicological screening was positive for cannabinoids in both cases. The clinical outcome was good with complete recovery, and both children and fa...
Scope: Approximately 90% of head-neck carcinomas are squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), that includes the oral cavity, nasopharynx, larynx, hypopharynx and oropharynx. It is a disease with a complex etiology with the alcohol and tobacco consumption being the main risk factors. In last decade, there has been an increase in incidence of oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPSCC), that includes tumors of the amygdala and the ...
Autonomous production control (APC) aims at improving production systems performance through fast and flexible reaction to changes in dynamic production environments. APC shifts the power of decision from a central planning unit, towards single intelligent and distributed logistic objects that can cope with the rising complexity of today’s manufacturing systems. The purpose of this research is to analyse the cu...
We provide new insights into the existence of expansionary fiscal consolidations in the Economic and Monetary Union, using annual panel data from 14 European Union countries, over the period of 1970–2013. Different measures were calculated for assessing fiscal consolidations, based on the changes in the cyclically adjusted primary balance. A similar ad hoc approach was used to compute monetary episodes. Panel e...
