Dyadic vs. triadic taxonomy of body representation: A scoping review of brain m...
Santos, Hugo; Baleia, Isabel; Brandão, Rita; Santos, Gonçalo; Marques, Inês; Lamarão, João; Morais, José; Correia, Leonor; Martins, Maria ElisabeteIntroduction: Body representation refers to how the brain processes information about the body, traditionally categorised by the dyadic taxonomy into body schema and body image. However, the triadic taxonomy proposes the inclusion of the body structural description and body semantics. Objectives: This scoping review retrospectively mapped existing neuroimaging studies to the dimensions proposed by dyadic taxono...
Identification of apple fruit-skin constitutive laws by full-field methods usin...
Campos, Teresa Daniela Azevedo; Araújo, Rafael; Xavier, José; QUYEN, NGUYEN-TRONG; Dourado, N.; Morais, José; Pereira, FábioThe protective and preservative role of apple skin in maintaining the integrity of the fruit is well-known, with its mechanical behaviour playing a pivotal role in determining fruit storage capacity. This study employs a combination of experimental and numerical methodologies, specifically utilising the digital image correlation (DIC) technique. A specially devised inverse strategy is applied to evaluate the me...
Experimental evaluation of cohesive laws components of mixed-mode I + II fractu...
Pereira, Fábio; Morais, José; Xavier, José; Dourado, N.; de Moura, M.F.S.F.Mixed-mode I + II fracture characterization of cortical bone tissue is addressed in this work. The mixed-mode bending test was used to impose different mode ratios. An equivalent crack length data reduction method was considered to obtain the strain energy release rate components. Crack opening and shear displacements were measured by means of digital image correlation. These quantities were then integrated to ...
Applied Psycholinguistics: A Science at the crossroads of cognition and language
Morais, JoséAbstract: Applied Psycholinguistics is a science that engages many others: experimental psychology, cognitive and neurocognitive sciences, linguistics, psychology of language and literacy, and educational and remediation sciences. The present paper’s objective is to show Science is itself a changing combination of ever-changing sciences without close boundaries, which implies the necessity of crossing domains i...

Processamento da leitura: decodificação e compreensão
Pereira, Vera Wannmacher; Viana, Fernanda Leopoldina; Morais, José[Excerto] A linguagem é alvo da curiosidade humana desde épocas que nossas memórias alcançam e preservam. Nesse longo percurso, muitos caminhos têm sido trilhados e examinados em suas peculiaridades e em suas convergências. E, assim, os seres humanos mais curiosos vêm se constituindo aos poucos e de diferentes modos nos construtores de uma ciência que a aninha com zelo, seja promovendo o primeiro movimento, sej...
How to teach fully illiterate adults to read.
Kolinsky, Régine; Carvalho, Cristina; Leite, Isabel; Franco, Ana; Morais, JoséAbout 750 million adults (15%) worldwide lack any literacy skills, most because they lack adequate learning opportunities (UNESCO, 2016). In this chapter, we discuss how to teach to read to such people. We first examine scientific evidence suggesting that literacy acquisition does not radically differ as a function of age of acquisition. We then discuss the data relevant for designing effective methods aimed at...
O que faz a diferença entre a linguagem rica e a linguagem pobre?
Morais, JoséA linguagem é considerada neste artigo como sendo, simultaneamente, um produto e um instrumento das grandes desigualdades sociais e culturais que caracterizam as sociedades humanas ditas civilizadas. A invenção da escrita conduziu ao desenvolvimento da linguagem letrada – a literacia –, mas sobretudo nas classes sociais privilegiadas. Tal como a linguagem oral, a literacia é uma capacidade cognitiva, ao mesmo t...
Completely illiterate adults can learn to read in less than three months
Kolinsky, Régine; Leite, Isabel; Carvalho, Crsitina; Franco, Ana; Morais, JoséThe purpose of this case series was to explore whether adults who did not have the opportunity to acquire reading skills during childhood are able to do so rapidly if trained with an adequate literacy program. After 14 weeks of training with a new, optimized, literacy course based on cognitive research, six out of eight participants became able to read words they had never encountered, hence demonstrating that ...
Population approach to Efavirenz therapy
Duarte, Hélder; Cruz, João Paulo; Aniceto, Natália; Ribeiro, Ana Clara; Fernandes, Ana; Paixão, Paulo; Antunes, Francisco; Morais, JoséEfavirenz (EFV) is a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor commonly used as first-line therapy in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), with a narrow therapeutic range and a high between-subject variability which can lead to central nervous system toxicity or therapeutic failure. To characterize the sources of variability and better predict EFV steady-state plasma concentrations, a popula...
