Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Mass Spectrometry Proteomics Applied to ...

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques can be a powerful tool to identify neuropsychiatric disorder biomarkers, improving prediction and diagnosis ability. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of MS proteomics applied to human peripheral fluids of schizophrenia (SCZ) patients to identify disease biomarkers and relevant networks of biological pathways. Following PRISMA guidelines, a search was performed for studies t...

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on MS-Based Proteomics Applied to Human Per...

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a clinically heterogeneous condition, presenting a complex underlying etiopathogenesis that is not sufficiently characterized. Without molecular biomarkers being used in the clinical environment, several large screen proteomics studies have been conducted to provide valuable molecular information. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques can be a powerful tool for the identification of d...

Physical exercise positively modulates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis‐related hep...

Obesity is a predictive factor for the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Although some of the mechanisms associated with NASH development are still elusive, its pathogenesis relies on a complex broad spectrum of (interconnected) metabolic-based disorders. We analyzed the effects of voluntary physical activity (VPA) and endurance training (ET), as preventive and therapeutic nonpharmacological s...

Colloidal nanomaterials for water quality improvement and monitoring

Water is the most important resource for all kind forms of live. It is a vital resource distributed unequally across different regions of the globe, with populations already living with water scarcity, a situation that is spreading due to the impact of climate change. The reversal of this tendency and the mitigation of its disastrous consequences is a global challenge posed to Humanity, with the scientific comm...

Mathematical contributions to link biota with environment

Hutchinson's pioneering work on the niche concept, dating from 1957, inspired the development of many ecological models. The first proposals, BIOCLIM and HABITAT , were simple geometric approximations to the shape of the niche. Despite their simplicity, they combine two features that make them adequate for the purpose of exploring the niche: they fit a predefined shape to the empirical data; and produce binary ...

Revisiting niche fundamentals with Tukey depth

The first attempts to describe species ecological niches were simple geometric procedures that depict the niche boundaries directly from environmental data. The convex hull was one of such procedures, popular for its simplicity, clear ecological rational and precise definition of the niche. However, it lacked the ability to differentiate areas of the niche with different probabilities of occurrence according to...

Transição, praxe e resiliência. Estudos na Universidade dos Açores

Investigou-se a resiliência em estudantes no Ensino Superior, com e sem vivência da praxe, e a relação entre resiliência e integração social. Participaram 163 estudantes do 1.º ano da Universidade dos Açores. Usou-se um questionário referente a dados pessoais, académicos e familiares, a Escala de Resiliência de Wagnild e Young (ER), o Questionário de Vivências da Praxe (QVP) e o Questionário de Integração Socia...

Transição, praxe e variáveis académicas e familiares. Estudos na Universidade d...

Investigaram-se variáveis académicas e familiares, procurando-se descortinar a sua relação com o posicionamento dos estudantes face às vivências da praxe, a nível da sua integração académica. 163 estudantes do 1.º ano do Ensino Superior responderam a um questionário e à subescala “Integração” do Questionário de Vivências da Praxe (QVP). O “Tempo de estudo” foi a única variável, entre as estudadas, que apresento...

Novos elementos sobre praxes no Ensino Superior. Estudos na Universidade dos Aç...

Este trabalho procura elementos que contribuam para um melhor entendimento da expressão tendencialmente positiva face à praxe académica, por parte de estudantes caloiros de uma instituição de ensino superior em Portugal. Participaram no estudo 163 estudantes de 1.º ano e de ambos os sexos que responderam ao Questionário de Vivências da Praxe (QVP), de Vieira (2012), e ao Questionário de Integração Social no Ens...
