Automated high-throughput microscopy screening unveiled new Listeria monocytoge...
Alves, Ângela; Meireles, Diana; Suriano, Chiara; Monteiro, Ricardo; Oliveira, Rute; Bernardes, Beatriz G.; Sousa, Sandra; Pombinho, RitaTo uncover novel genetic factors required for Listeria monocytogenes cell infection, we developed an automated high-throughput microscopy screening pipeline that integrates GFP-expressing bacteria with machine learning-based image analysis. Using this approach, we screened a mariner transposon library comprising 4,224 L. monocytogenes EGDe mutants and identified 58 with significantly reduced numbers of intracel...

Travassos, Bruno; Monteiro, Ricardo; Coutinho, Diogo; Yousefian, F; Gonçalves, BrunoBackground: The aim of the present study was to examine the spatial relations between teams (macro-level) and groups of players (meso-level) that afford successful penetrative passes (off-ball advantage) in elite football. Methods: Three balanced home matches from a Premier League team with 91 ball possessions in which a pass was performed into the opposition defensive area and overpassed the first defensive li...
Níveis e descritores de complexidade textual para adultos de baixa literacia
Monteiro, Ricardo; Correia, Susana; Amaro, Raquel; Moutinho, Michell; Barbosa, Sílvia; Reis, Maria LeonorEste trabalho pretende descrever o processo de desenvolvimento de um referencial de complexidade textual inserida no âmbito do projeto iRead4Skills. O nosso objetivo é fazer uma descrição e análise dos traços linguísticos que conferem complexidade aos textos, em particular àqueles que se destinam a adultos de baixa literacia. Apesar da existência de orientações sobre a proficiência em leitura (QECR, PISA, etc.)...
Framework of Textual Complexity for Low-Literacy Adults
Amaro, Raquel; Correia, Susana; Monteiro, Ricardo; Pintard, Alice; Moutinho, Michell; Barbosa, SílviaThis paper presents the iRead4Skills framework of textual complexity, a novel approach to text difficulty tailored to low-literacy adult native speakers. Recognizing the pivotal role of literacy in personal and professional development, this framework addresses the challenges of identifying and adapting texts for this demographic. Integrating lexical, syntactic, and cohesion features, the framework delineates t...

Monteiro, Ricardo; Correia, Susana; Amaro, Raquel; Moutinho, Michell; Barbosa, Sílvia; Reis, Maria LeonorThis paper presents the iRead4Skills benchmark of textual complexity, a novel approach to text complexity difficulty tailored to low-literacy adult native speakers. Despite the existence of various instruments and guidelines related to reading proficiency (CEFR, PISA, etc.), little attention is given to adult reading difficulties and how these manifest linguistically in texts. Recognizing the pivotal role of li...
Concordância Negativa: uma visão diacrónica
Monteiro, RicardoNeste artigo, o curioso fenómeno da Concordância Negativa é analisado sob um prisma diacrónico, com o objetivo de responder a questões relativas à sua gramaticalidade e elementos constituintes. O conceito da Negação, este tipo específico de construção de negação, assim como os constituintes desta são todos analisados e desconstruídos, com vista a dissecar este fenómeno. Com os processos evolutiv...
Intelligent Support for Low Literacy Adults
Reis, Maria Leonor; Barbosa, Sílvia; Moutinho, Michell; Monteiro, Ricardo; Correia, Susana; Amaro, RaquelThis paper presents the Portuguese dataset of the iRead4Skills project (Dataset 1: corpora by complexity level for FR, PT, and SP – v.2.0), a representative sample of written European Portuguese for automatic complexity assessment that addresses a gap in existing resources for Portuguese. The corpus was created within the framework of the iRead4Skills project, which encompasses Portuguese, French, and Spanish. ...

Monteiro, Ricardo; Monteiro, Diogo; Torregrossa, Miquel; Travassos, BrunoThis study aimed to identify Career Indicators (CIs) over the stages of career development (Initiation/Development, Mastery, and Discontinuation stages) in the retirement stage of Portuguese football players. Three thousand five hundred retired Portuguese football players that played between 1960 and 2018 were considered in this study. A path analysis was performed to identify the standardized direct and indire...
