Designing democratic innovations: A methodological framework for participation ...
Rusconi, I.; Nogueira, F.; Paio, A.; Mota, J. C.Purpose Cities are strengthening their role as arenas for political action, crucial for addressing crises in a context of rampant uncertainty. This emphasises the need to centre public participation in decision-making to accelerate changes and ensure social responsiveness. However, a gap persists between rhetoric and implementation of participation mechanisms, highlighting the importance of democratic innovatio...
Bringing participation closer to local governance expectations in Portugal: An ...
Nogueira, F.; Seixas, J.; Mota, J.; Rusconi, I.This article is motivated by the recognition of existing gaps between most common participatory practices and the hopes of participatory governance materialisation. Beyond normative mismatches, tangible gaps exist regarding the prospects and the effective results of participation, but also those resulting from the way citizens and civil society perceptions become misaligned with those of local public authoritie...
Participation and Institutionalization: Perspectives in urban policies
Rusconi, I.; Nogueira, F.The democratic crisis expressed by high electoral abstention, distrust in political system and rise of authoritarianism signals the importance of bringing citizens back to the political debate (Fung, 2015). Several authors argue that the renovation of democracy will take place around the political debate about cities, while undergoing intense transformations (Falanga, 2020). It is urgent to rethink participatio...
A collaborative methodology for local strategic planning: insights from four pl...
Wolf, Jan; Nogueira, F.; Borges, M.Planning practitioners have been challenged by the demand for more open, effective, and transparent processes. But the collaborative practices that have tried to materialize these goals often yield unsatisfactory results. While this can partly be attributed to various forms of vertical coordination, achieving these different, and sometimes conflicting, goals also poses inherent methodological challenges. This p...
Real-world data from the Portuguese Nivolumab Expanded Access Program (EAP) in ...
Figueiredo, A.; Almeida, M.A.; Almodovar, M.T.; Alves, P.; A, Araujo; Araújo, D.; Barata, F.; Barradas, L.; Barroso, A.; Brito, U.; Camacho, E.Objective: The main aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of Nivolumab, an immune-checkpoint-inhibitor antibody, in advanced, previously treated, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients, in a real world setting. Methods: We performed a retrospective, multicentre data analysis of patients who were included in the Portuguese Nivolumab Expanded Access Program (EAP). Eligibility crite...
Cyclic plastic behaviour of 7075 aluminium alloy
Nogueira, F.; Cunha, J.; Mateus, A.; Malça, C.; Costa, J. D.; Branco, R.This paper aims at studying the cyclic plastic behaviour of the 7075-T651 aluminium alloy under fully-reversed strain-controlled conditions. Tests are conducted under strain-control mode, at room temperature, in a conventional servo-hydraulic machine, from smooth samples, using the single step method, with strain amplitudes (∆ε/2) in the range ±0.5 to ±2.75%. This material has exhibited a mixed behaviour, i.e. ...
Structure of hierridin c, synthesis of hierridins b and c, and evidence for pre...
Costa, M.; Sampaio-Dias, I.E.; Castelo-Branco, R.; Scharfenstein, H.; Rezende De Castro, R.; Silva, A.; Schneider, M.P.C.; Araújo, M.J.; Martins, R.Small, single-celled planktonic cyanobacteria are ubiquitous in the world’s oceans yet tend not to be perceived as secondary metabolite-rich organisms. Here we report the isolation and structure elucidation of hierridin C, a minor metabolite obtained from the cultured picocyanobacterium Cyanobium sp. LEGE 06113. We describe a simple, straightforward synthetic route to the scarcely produced hierridins that relie...
Electrospinning polypropylene with an amino acid as a strategy to bind the anti...
Nogueira, F.; Teixeira, Maria Pilar Araújo; Gouveia, Isabel C.Hospital isolation gowns are increasingly competitive, with brands and manufacturers contesting consumer preferences. The textile materials in contact with the skin can acquire secretions and multiresistant microorganisms, causing discomfort and health risks, respectively. A new nanofibrous substrate---polypropylene grafted with l-Cys---was developed with an increased crystallinity, providing its surface with -...
