Obesity, a rising concern in the Eastern world, encompasses several co-morbidities, namely non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Potential natural-based interventions to decrease the burden of obesity complications are being investigated. Many of the edible parts of plants are not sold for consumption and end up as massive waste, losing nutritional potential. In fact, a sizeable amount of waste is generate...
A Perturbação do Desenvolvimento da Linguagem (PDL) corresponde à presença de alterações de expressão e/ou compreensão de linguagem, que pode afetar uma ou várias áreas linguísticas (semântica, morfologia, sintaxe, fonologia e/ou pragmática) sem causa aparente (neurológica, intelectual, sensorial ou emocional). Consequentemente, uma criança com PDL apresentará competências de linguagem (expressivas e/ou compree...
O processo de Avaliação Externa das Escolas (AEE) constitui uma oportunidade de melhoria para as Escolas e/ou Agrupamentos, sendo os resultados apresentados no relatório um importante instrumento de reflexão e debate para todos os atores educativos, em particular, as lideranças escolares. [...]
Obesity is a pandemic disease, and its evolution can be influenced by regular consumption of natural bioactive compounds. Mushrooms, such as Ganoderma lucidum (GL), include a wide variety of biomolecules with potential anti-obesity effects. This work aimed to study the influence of GL in an animal model of obesity. Forty-eight male mice (C57BL/6J) were divided into 5 groups: Group (G)-1-Western Control Diet; G-...

Intervenção Social. - ISSN 0874-1611. - N. 53-54 (2019). - p. 169-181.; Com esta apresentação pretende-se dar a conhecer a intervenção social no âmbito do Ponto de Encontro Familiar, doravante designado por PEF. Os PEF são espaços psicoterapêuticos que permitem a filhos de pais separados/divorciados, em conflito parental, a reaproximação da criança com o progenitor não residente. Exige uma intervenção multidisc...
This paper aims to map and analyze the scientific production of social innovation, resulting in a contribution to the literature review and guidelines for future research. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to explore the trends on the topic. The primary objectives are (1) to identify how the literature defines the concept of social innovation and to track its evolution; (2) to measure productivity and ident...
A large amount of waste is generated within the different steps of the food supply chain, representing a significant loss of natural resources, plant material, and economic value for producers and consumers. During harvesting and processing, many parts of edible plants are not sold for consumption and end up as massive waste, adding environmental hazards to the list of concerns regarding food wastage. Examples ...
The consumption of diets high in sugars and saturated fat are associated with obesity and other comorbidities, as well as glucose intolerance1. Obesity can be influenced by the regular consumption of natural bioactive compounds like those found in Ganoderma lucidum mushroom (GL)2. The main objective of this work is to determine body mass variations (Lee Index) and serum glucose levels in animals fed with diets ...
