Penalty saves in football are crucial for determining match outcomes and are widely acknowledged as one of the most intense and demanding situations in the sport. Goalkeepers face the formidable challenge of interpreting opponents' cues and responding effectively to prevent goals during penalty kicks. This study aims to rigorously analyse the various factors influencing goalkeepers' success in defending penalty...
Este trabalho procura compreender as condições de existência e as particularidades da evolução da agricultura na região de Tombali, província Sul de Guiné-Bissau. Buscou-se ressaltar os condicionantes naturais e históricos que marcam o desenvolvimento da agricultura desta região, destacando-se as suas características e as especificidades da situação atual. A partir da utilização da abordagem de sistemas agrário...
Introduction and objective: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is an important public health problem. Several clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of OME are in place, including from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS). This study aimed to evaluate the clinical practice of OME diagnosis and treatment among the Otolaryngology medical community working in Portu...

Introdução: As infeções associadas aos cuidados de saúde (IACS) têm sido relacionadas com a presença de microrganismos multirresistentes nas superfícies, sendo necessário monitorizar a sua higienização para garantir a segurança ambiental. A aplicação da escala visual é simplificadora, porém o uso do luminómetro, método de Bioluminescência de Trifosfato de Adenosina, é promissor no controlo da higienização. Obj...
Develop cost-effective ground robots for crop monitoring in steep slope vineyards is a complex challenge. The terrain presents harsh conditions for mobile robots and most of the time there is no one available to give support to the robots. So, a fully autonomous steep-slope robot requires a robust automatic recharging system. This work proposes a multilevel system that monitors a vineyard robot autonomy, to pla...
Spreadsheets are used in professional business contexts to make decisions based on collected data. Usually, these spreadsheets are developed by end users in an ad-hoc way. Thus, the business logic of a concrete spreadsheet is not explicit to end users, making its correctness hard to assess and users have to trust.We present an approach where structure and computational behavior of a spreadsheet are specified by...
Spreadsheets are used in professional business contexts to make decisions based on collected data. Usually, these spreadsheets are developed by end users (e. g. accountants) in an ad-hoc way. The effect of this practice is that the business logic of a concrete spreadsheet is not explicit to them. Thus, its correctness is hard to assess and users have to trust.We present an approach where structure and computati...
Many errors in spreadsheet formulas can be avoided if spreadsheets are built automati- cally from higher-level models that can encode and enforce consistency constraints in the generated spreadsheets. Employing this strategy for legacy spreadsheets is dificult, because the model has to be reverse engineered from an existing spreadsheet and existing data must be transferred into the new model-generated spreadshe...
Software refactoring is a well-known technique that provides transformations on software artifacts with the aim of improving their overall quality.We have previously proposed a catalog of refactorings for spreadsheet models expressed in the ClassSheets modeling language, which allows us to specify the business logic of a spreadsheet in an object-oriented fashion.Reasoning about spreadsheets at the model level e...
