Hesitancy and Refusal of the COVID-19 Vaccine Among Healthcare Professionals: A...
Teófilo, Vanessa; Amaro, Joana; Matos, Pedro; Pinho, Paulo; Moreira, Salomé; Ribeiro, Rui; Miller, Mariana; Pinelas, Sofia; Silva, FilipaIntroduction: Vaccine hesitancy is recognized by the World Health Organization as a major global health threat. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this issue has taken on unique dimensions. Healthcare professionals are considered one of the most reliable sources of information regarding vaccination. Their stance on immunization is a determining factor in their likelihood to recommend it to others, with po...
Right atrium crossover
Brito, Joana; Plácido, Rui; Matos, PedroA 48-year-old woman with no relevant past medical history was referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) due to complaints of atypical angina lasting for 2 months. The CCTA depicted a coronary calcium score of 0 and no atherosclerotic disease. However, during the assessment of the coronary anatomy, an abnormal right coronary artery (RCA) course was observed (Panels A, B, and C), showing a prox...
A 3D-printable modular robotic gripper
Matos, Pedro; Neto, PedroRobotic systems are key in industry 4.0 context. While there are many robot models available in the market, the number of grippers with sensing capabilities at an affordable cost is reduced. Traditional robot grippers are targeted to perform specific tasks, with unchangeable configurations and limited ability to adapt to different working scenarios. In this paper, we present the design and fabrication of a modu...
Remote Monitoring of Energy-autonomous Constructed Wetlands
Lopes, Simão; Barros, F.M.; Ferreira, Carlos; Mateus, D. M. R.; Matos, Pedro; Neves, Pedro; Pinho, Henrique J. O.Constructed Wetlands systems (CW) are nature-based and sustainable technology for treating wastewater, contributing to the management and protection of freshwater resources. Moreover, CW can contribute to valorizing waste materials, producing reclaimed water for diverse applications, and producing plant biomass that can be material and energetically valorized. Because CW efficiency depends on several mechanisms...
Smart Monitoring of Constructed Wetlands to Improve Efficiency and Water Quality
Pinho, Henrique; Barros, Manuel; Teixeira, André; Oliveira, Luís; Matos, Pedro; Ferreira, Carlos; Mateus, DinaThe Smart monitoring of constructed wetlands to improve efficiency and water quality (SmarterCW) project aims to monitor biological wastewater treatment processes by gathering continuous data from remote water and environmental sensors. The acquired data can be processed and analyzed through data science tools to understand better the complex and coupled phenomena underneath wastewater treatment and monitor and...

Sustainability in Design Projects : A proposal to apply sustainability to educa...
Pedro, Josélia; Matos, Pedro; Correia, VandaHigher education institutions have a responsibility to contribute to a more sustainable development. However, this contribution hasn’t always been consequential, especially when the focus is more on the construction of mere tools for sustainability, than on the process of internal transformation. That is, on the development of a true training for sustainability, consequently for a curriculum more oriented towar...
Autonomous patrol of water resources in natural and artificial systems
Barros, F.M.; Pinho, Henrique J. O.; Magalhães, Hugo; Ferreira, Carlos; Matos, PedroWater resources, being one of the most important natural resources, face major threats due to contamination by pollutants of various types and origins. Consequently, preservation, protection and sustainable use of natural resources is increasingly important. The “DragonFly” project aims to develop a system that solves the need for monitoring the quality of surface water in natural and artificial systems of diff...

Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii Antibodies in Individuals Occupationally Expose...
Almeida, Daniela; Quirino, João; Matos, Pedro; Esteves, Fernando; Cruz, Rita; Vala, Helena; Mesquita, João R.Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease with different and complex routes for transmission. Workers occupationally exposed to animals or raw meat and viscera (WOE) may be at more risk than the general population, however conflicting data exist on the risk of developing toxoplasmosis due to this close contact. To add knowledge to this topic, the aim of the present study was to ascertain if WOE were more li...
