The effectiveness of a systematized nursing care intervention in the prevention...

Introduction: The use of peripheral venous catheters (PVC) is the most common nursing procedure and carries patient risks, including developing phlebitis. A nursing care protocol for PVC was created at the institutional level to standardize nurses' practices. Objective: To analyze the incidence of phlebitis associated with PVC before (Group A) and after (Group B) implementation of the protocol; Characterize phl...

Structural enrichment promotes natural behaviour and welfare of captive gilthea...

The intensification of aquaculture practices in the last decade can compromise the welfare of farmed fish. However, one strategy to be considered to improve the welfare of captive fish is the implementation of structural enrichment in the rearing environment. The behavioural and physiological effects of suspended ropes inside rearing tanks were experimentally assessed on gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) breede...

The Biology of Lysosomes: From Order to Disorder

Since its discovery in 1955, the understanding of the lysosome has continuously increased. Once considered a mere waste removal system, the lysosome is now recognised as a highly crucial cellular component for signalling and energy metabolism. This notable evolution raises the need for a summarized review of the lysosome’s biology. As such, throughout this article, we will be compiling the current knowledge reg...

Biocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide for sustainable biofuel production

"The development of sustainable processes to reduce CO2 levels is an urgent and challenging issue faced by our society. The use of CO2 as a feedstock for the production of added-value products, such as formate, represent a promising tool to mitigate CO2 emissions. This approach provides not only a mechanism to reduce harmful CO2 levels, (...)"

Effects of environmental enrichment on the welfare of gilthead seabream broodstock

The intensification of aquaculture practices in the last decade has led to the reduction in welfare of farmed fish. Recently, one of the tools that has been considered important to guarantee or improve the welfare of captive fish is the application of environmental enrichment (EE). The physiological state and behaviour of fish can be used as indicators of the welfare of the animal, as well as of the positive im...

Monogamish : a negociação dos limites da exclusividade em monogamias abertas

Em 2011, Dan Savage introduziu o termo monogamish para descrever relações primariamente monogâmicas, ou seja, relações que assentam num compromisso emocional, que variam em diferentes tipos de contactos sexuais extradiádicos, definidos por regras específicas. Este termo é cada vez mais relevante, apesar de ser ainda escasso na literatura, razão pela qual o foco desta investigação se centra com a procura de uma ...

Heavy Metals Removal from Aqueous Solutions by Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes: Effe...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most studied nanoparticles due to their physical, chemical and electronic properties. However, strong Van der Waals bonds, which promote CNTs aggregation are usually present, affecting their unique properties. Avoiding CNTs aggregation is one of the main difficulties when using these nanoparticles. Regarding the adsorption capacity of CNTs, the tendency of CNTs to aggregat...

The impact of the work-family conflict on employee engagement, performance, and...

Purpose - The incompatibility between the sphere of work and the family is a reality that plagues many workers today. The difficult articulation of these two domains leads to the experience of the phenomenon called Work Family Conflict (WFC). This study aims to assess the impact that WFC may have on employee engagement and performance, as well as on their turnover intention. It is also intended to test the medi...
