Prediction of Road Traffic Accidents on a Road in Portugal: A Multidisciplinary...
Infante, P.; Jacinto, G.; Santos, D.; Nogueira, P.; Afonso, A.; Quaresma, P.; Silva, M.; Nogueira, V.; Saias, J.; Gois, P.; Manuel, P.Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) cause human losses and irreparable physical and psychological damage to many of the victims. They also involve a very relevant economic dimension. It is urgent to improve the management of human and material resources for more effective prevention. This work makes an important contribution by presenting a methodology that allowed for achieving a predictive model for the occurrence o...
Learning from Accidents: Spatial Intelligence Applied to Road Accidents with In...
Nogueira, P.; Silva, M.; Infante, P.; Nogueira, V.; Manuel, P.; Afonso, A.; Jacinto, G.; Rego, L.; Quaresma, P.; Saias, J.; Santos, D.; Gois, P.Road traffic accidents are a major concern for modern society with a high toll on human life and involve hard to account economic consequences. New knowledge can be obtained from combining GIS tools with machine learning and artificial intelligence, developing what is, in this work, identified as spatial intelligence. This approach is tested in a case study of Setúbal district, Portugal, for the period of 2016 ...
A sinistralidade rodoviária no distrito de Setúbal
Infante, P.; Nogueira, V.; Manuel, P.; Gois, P.; Afonso, A.; Santos, D.; Jacinto, G.; Nogueira, P.; Rego, L.; Silva, M.; Gonçalves, N.A sinistralidade rodoviária é uma das maiores calamidades do nosso tempo, pelas perdas humanas e os danos físicos e psicológicos irreparáveis que provoca a muitas das vítimas, envolvendo também uma dimensão económica muito relevante. Indo de encontro a uma solicitação do Comando Territorial da Guarda Nacional Republicana de Setúbal (CTer GNR Setúbal) para o apoio científico no estudo da problemática da sinistra...
Bioinsecticide SPINTOR®: detrimental effects on earthworms Eisenia fetida at di...
Moreira, A.; Nogueira, V.; Bouguerra, S.; Rodrigues, S.Background: The increasing interest in sustainable agricultural practices led to the use of biopesticides instead of synthetic ones [1]. SPINTOR® (SPI) is a commercialized bioinsecticide that employs spinosad as its active ingredient, a natural by-product obtained from the Saccharopolyspora spinosa fermentation [2]. Although effective in controlling several pests, SPI also can present inadvertent effects on non...
A web-based self-help intervention for coping with the loss of a partner: Proto...
Brodbeck, J.; Jacinto, S.; Gouveia, A.; Mendonça, N.; Madörin, S.; Brandl, L.; Schokking, L.; Rodrigues, A. M.; Gonçalves, J.; Mooser, B.Background: The death of a partner is a critical life event in later life, which requires grief work as well as the development of a new perspective for the future. Cognitive behavioral web-based self-help interventions for coping with prolonged grief have established their efficacy in decreasing symptoms of grief, depression, and loneliness. However, no study has tested the efficacy for reducing grief after lo...
Assessing the ecotoxicity of metal nano-oxides with potential for wastewater tr...
Nogueira, V.; Lopes, I.; Rocha-Santos, T. A. P.; Rasteiro, M. G.; Abrantes, N.; Gonçalves, F.; Soares, A. M. V. M.; Duarte, A. C.; Pereira, R.The rapid development of nanotechnology and the increasing use of nanomaterials (NMs) raise concern about their fate and potential effects in the environment, especially for those that could be used for remediation purposes and that will be intentionally released to the environment. Despite the remarkable emerging literature addressing the biological effects of NMs to aquatic organisms, the existing information...
Biological treatment with fungi of olive mill wastewater pre-treated by photoca...
Nogueira, V.; Lopes, I.; Freitas, A. C.; Rocha-Santos, T. A. P.; Gonçalves, F.; Duarte, A. C.; Pereira, R.Olive mill wastewater (OMW) still is a major environmental problem due to its high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total phenolic content (TPC), contributing for the high toxicity and recalcitrant nature. Several attempts have been made for developing more efficient treatment processes, but no chemical or biological approaches were found to be totally effective, especially in terms of toxicity reduction. In th...
