In the context of evolving healthcare technologies, this study investigates the application of AI and machine learning in video-based health monitoring systems, focusing on the challenges and potential of implementing such systems in real-world scenarios, specifically for knowledge workers. The research underscores the criticality of addressing technological, ethical, and practical hurdles in deploying these sy...
In modern, high-speed work settings, the significance of mental health disorders is increasingly acknowledged as a pressing health issue, with potential adverse consequences for organizations, including reduced productivity and increased absenteeism. Over the past few years, various mental health management solutions, such as biofeedback applications, have surfaced as promising avenues to improve employees' men...

Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei Steindachner, 1864) and Iberian nase (Pseudochondrostoma polylepis Steindachner, 1864) are two Mediterranean potamodromous fish species known to perform annual upstream migrations to reach spring spawning grounds. In the Mondego River basin, at the Coimbra dam, migratory movement patterns and individual size structure were assessed through a video recording monitoring system ...
Salmonid fish species are highly threatened by climatic and anthropogenic pressures, since they are very sensitive to thermal stress and habitat degradation. Salmo trutta L. is a salmonid with a distinct lifestyle, such as the holobiotic (brown trout) and the anadromous (sea trout) ecotypes. Near the southern limit of the species distribution, Iberian trout populations are arguably more vulnerable to environmen...
The Iberian Peninsula, in southwestern Europe, is home to a distinctive freshwater fish fauna, predominantly composed of endemic species. This is a consequence of the prolonged isolation from western Europe caused by the Pyrenees, the diverse geological and climatic gradients, and the isolation of river basins. Freshwater and diadromous fishes have diversified in the Iberian Peninsula and include 72 currently r...
Este ensaio retoma o projeto Mulheres Sempre Presentes, realizado para a exposição “O Impulso Fotográfico. (Des)arrumar o Arquivo Colonial”. A proposta ressignifica fotografias analógicas de antropologia física colonial portuguesa através de procedimentos de descontextualização e recontextualização, tentando interromper a reprodução de estereótipos negativos sobre as mulheres negras fotografadas, os quais abund...
Pupil size can be used as an important biomarker for occupational risks. In recent years, there has been an increase in the development of open-source tools dedicated to obtaining and measuring pupil diameter. However, it remains undetermined determined whether these tools are suitable for use in occupational settings. This study explores the significance of pupil size variation as a biomarker for occupational ...
As the use of smartphones and other digital devices becomes an integral part of modern life, it is increasingly common to witness children engaging with these devices at younger ages and for extended periods. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated this trend, significantly impacting the way children interact with technology. This study aims to evaluate visual function and lacrimal volume in p...
The purpose of this study is to assess the association between macular volume reduction (MVR) and visual as well as neurological dysfunction in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Additionally, we explore the utility of OCT in monitoring neurodegeneration in patients with and without optic neuritis (ON). This prospective observational study included 10 patients with relaps...
