Gait cycle duration analysis in lower limb amputees using an IoT-based photonic...
Alves, Bruna; Fantoni, Alessandro; Matos, José; Costa, João; Vieira, ManuelaThis study represents a preliminary proof of concept intended to demonstrate the feasibility of using a single-point LiDAR sensor for wearable gait analysis. The study presents a low-cost wearable sensor system that integrates a single-point LiDAR module and IoT connectivity to assess Gait Cycle Duration (GCD) and gait symmetry in real time. The device is positioned on the medial side of the calf to detect the ...
Outro jornalismo é possível. Media alternativos em Portugal
Subtil, Filipa Mónica de Brito Gonçalves; Matos, José; Baptista, CarlaEste é um livro sobre resistentes e desalinhados, que praticam um jornalismo insubmisso face à lógica do mercado, ao controlo dos grandes grupos económicos, à velocidade, às notícias curtas e ao entretenimento. Chamam-se alternativos por serem contra-hegemónicos, mas também podiam chamar-se independentes, ativistas, participativos e comunitários. Promovem a mudança social por meio de abordagens politizadas e ap...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Wa...
Guimarães, Joana Bagoin; Nunes, Cátia; Pereira, Graça; Gomes, Ana; Nhantumbo, Nascimento; Cabrita, Paula; Matos, José; Simões, FernandaAbstract: Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is currently a legume crop of minor importance in Europe but a highly relevant staple crop in Africa and the second most cultivated legume in Mozambique. In Portugal and Mozambique, cowpea’s phenotypic and genetic variation has been maintained locally by farmers in some areas. We used the molecular markers SSR, SilicoDArT and SNP to analyze the genetic diversity a...
Iron age genomic data from Althiburos – Tunisia renew the debate on the origins...
Ginja, Catarina; Guimarães, Silvia; da Fonseca, Rute R.; Rasteiro, Rita; Rodríguez-Varela, Ricardo; Simões, Luciana G.; Sarmento, CindyThe Maghreb is a key region for understanding the dynamics of cattle dispersal and admixture with local aurochs following their earliest domestication in the Fertile Crescent more than 10,000 years ago. Here, we present data on autosomal genomes and mitogenomes obtained for four archaeological specimens of Iron Age (∼2,800 cal BP–2,000 cal BP) domestic cattle from the Eastern Maghreb, i.e. Althiburos (El Kef, T...
An improved reference genome and first organelle genomes of Quercus suber
Usié, Ana; Serra, Octávio; Barros, Pedro M.; Barbosa, Pedro; Leão, Célia; Capote, Tiago; Almeida, Tânia; Rodrigues, Leandra; Carrasquinho, IsabelCork oak (Quercus suber L.) is an ecologically and economically important evergreen tree species native to the Mediterranean region and widespread in southwest Europe and northwest Africa. An improved genome assembly of cork oak using a combination of Illumina and PacBio sequencing is presented in this study. The assembled genome contains 2351 scaffolds longer than 1000 bp, accounting for 765.7 Mbp of genome si...
Haplotype diversity patterns in Quercus suber (Fagaceae) inferred from cpDNA se...
Sousa, Filipe; Viegas, Mariana Bray; Costa, Joana; Marques, Isabel; Pina-Martins; Simões, Fernanda; Matos, José; Glushkova, Maria; Miguel, CéliaChloroplast genome diversity in cork oak (Quercus suber) is characterised by the occurrence of haplotypes that are akin to those found in other Mediterranean oak species, particularly in Q. ilex and Q. rotundifolia, suggesting the possible presence of an introgressed chloroplast lineage. To further investigate this pattern, we reconstructed chloroplast haplotypes by sequencing four chloroplast markers (cpDNA), ...
Before the court of public opinion: Imprensa de Lisboa and the 1921 press worke...
Matos, JoséThis article is a study of A Imprensa de Lisboa, a periodical created by professional associations of journalists, printers and distributors of Lisbon newspapers in 1921, during a period in which they were on strike. This conflict brought a significant portion of the Portuguese capital’s press to a standstill, except for a handful of publications, namely those created in that same context. Alongside and against...

Plan B: the abandonment of journalism in Portugal
Matos, JoséIn recent years, journalism in Portugal has faced significant structural changes, particularly in terms of employment and working conditions. The aim of this chapter is to analyse the relationship between job loss and re-employment in Portuguese journalism. Job terminations may result from forced redundancies, through the non-renewal of temporary work contracts or the removal of permanent staff. Alternatively, ...
Population structure in Quercus suber L. revealed by nuclear microsatellite mar...
Sousa, Filipe; Costa, Joana; Ribeiro, Carla; Varandas, Marta; Pina-Martins, Francisco; Simões, Fernanda; Matos, José; Glushkova, Maria; Miguel, CéliaQuercus suber L. is a sclerophyllous tree species native to the western Mediterranean, a region that is considered highly vulnerable to increased temperatures and severe dry conditions due to environmental changes. Understanding the population structure and demographics of Q. suber is essential in order to anticipate whether populations at greater risk and the species as a whole have the genetic background and ...
