Does paraquat exposure affect peroxisomal enzyme activities in trout?
Resende, A. D.; Lobo-da-Cunha, A.; Rocha, E.inducing the intracellular formation of reactive oxygen species with consequent cellular damage [1,2]. Paraquat is a potent herbicide that can be highly toxic for fish, causing morphological and biochemical alterations in several organs [3,4]. Objective: Since activity of peroxisomal enzymes is implicated in the reactive oxygen species and xenobiotic metabolisms [5], a subacute exposure of brown trout (Salmo tr...

Graphic and multimedia design of a narrative-based math game
Afonso, R.; Breda, A.; Rocha, E.In this paper, we will describe the process of creating the graphic and multimedia design of the math serious game CNME. This game designed to facilitate and “gamify” mathematical learning processes is based on the narrative of Magellan-Elcano’s epic circumnavigation journey around the world. CNME game was developed by an interdisciplinary team of the research and development thematic line GEOMETRIX. In graphic...

The educational math board game 3DM6
Almeida, M. R.; Barros, P.; Breda, A.; Resende, H.; Rocha, E.In this paper, we describe the conception and the difficulties behind the implementation of the three-dimensional and educational math game 3DM6 with features that make it engaging and suitable for different audiences. The 3DM6 game scope encompasses a school population attending three distinct levels of education that go from the 1st year of the 1st cycle to the 6th year of the 2nd cycle of the Portuguese Basi...
