Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms
Darras, Kevin F. A.; Rountree, Rodney A.; Van Wilgenburg, Steven L.; Cord, Anna F.; Pitz, Frederik; Chen, Youfang; Dong, Lijun; Rocquencourt, AgnèsAim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. ...
Copine 1 counteracts pneumolysin-induced plasma membrane damage caused by Strep...
Monteiro, João; Lima, Ricardo; Vale-Costa, Sílvia; Sousa, SandraStreptococcus pneumoniae causes pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis, leading to millions of hospitalizations and deaths annually despite vaccination efforts. Understanding bacterial interaction with host cells is key to developing innovative therapies. Pneumolysin (PLY), a S. pneumoniae virulence factor, forms pores in the host cell plasma membrane (PM) to disrupt cellular integrity and promote bacterial dissemin...
Approach and guidance of trans and non-binary people in primary health care: ex...
Monteiro, João; Ferreira, Alexandra; Ramos, Bernardo; Dantas, Beatriz; Couto, Maria Inês; Vieira, Jéssica; Moreira, José; Coelho, MarcoThe prevalence of openly trans and non-binary people has been increasing, and, in today's world, it is estimated that they represent 0.39% and 1.19% of the global population, respectively. Thus, it becomes increasingly imperative that primary health care physicians are prepared to receive and guide this population, in their general and specific health needs. In this sense, this work intends to study the knowled...
Do We Live Where It Is Pleasant? Correlates of Perceived Pleasantness with Soci...
Monteiro, João; Carrilho, Ana Clara; Sousa, Nuno; Oliveira, Leise Kelli de; Natividade-Jesus, Eduardo; Coutinho-Rodrigues, JoãoLiving in urban areas is the wish of many people. However, with population growth in those areas, quality of life has become a concerning element for achieving sustainable cities. Because quality of life is influenced by the built environment, the state of the latter is a fundamental issue for public policies. This research expands on previous research on the perceived pleasantness of built environments by pres...
Filling in the Spaces: Compactifying Cities towards Accessibility and Active Tr...
Monteiro, João; Para, Marvin; Sousa, Nuno; Natividade-Jesus, Eduardo; Ostorero, Carlo; Coutinho-Rodrigues, JoãoCompactification of cities, i.e., the opposite of urban sprawl, has been increasingly presented in the literature as a possible solution to reduce the carbon footprint and promote the sustainability of current urban environments. Compact environments have higher concentrations of interaction opportunities, smaller distances to them, and the potential for increased active mode shares, leading to less transport-r...
Planning cities for pandemics: review of urban and transport planning lessons f...
Monteiro, João; Sousa, Nuno; Pais, Filipe; Coutinho-Rodrigues, João; Natividade-Jesus, EduardoFor the past few years, the world has been facing one of the worst pandemics of modern times. The COVID-19 outbreak joined a long list of infectious diseases that turned pandemic, and it will most likely leave scars and change how humans live, plan and manage urban space and its infrastructures. Many fields of science were called into action to mitigate the impacts of this pandemic, including spatial and transp...
The Potential Impact of Cycling on Urban Transport Energy and Modal Share: A GI...
Monteiro, João; Sousa, Nuno; Natividade-Jesus, Eduardo; Coutinho-Rodrigues, JoãoThis article presents a methodology to estimate the maximum potential impact of a wellbuilt and conserved cycling infrastructure, measured as modal share for accessibility trips, as well as the associated transport energy that can be saved in those trips. The methodology uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to estimate active trip probabilities, from which the output variables can be obtained. It was appli...
Percursos geográficos por temas da sustentabilidade: o papel da TIG no ensino g...
Bacelar, Beatriz; Menezes, Maria Teresa; Borges, Marília Correia; Ribeiro, Vítor; Duarte, Diana; Moreira, Joana; Monteiro, JoãoO mundo está em constante mudança. A entrada no século XXI apresenta uma amálgama de factos, acontecimentos e atitudes que afeta o cotidiano de cada um dos cerca de 8 mil milhões de indivíduos que reside o planeta Terra. Encontramo-nos numa sociedade globalizada onde a Terra se torna cada vez mais uma “aldeia global”. Para tal a diminuição das distâncias – tempo e o crescimento do setor dos transportes rodoviár...
