Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with functional stroke...
Figueira Domingos, Miguel; Silva, Vítor Hugo; Schuh, Sara; Correia, Helena; Palma, Pedro; Pedro, João Pedroso; Nova, Bruno Vila; Marreiros, AnaBackground: Patients with functional neurological disorder presenting as stroke mimics or functional stroke mimics (FSMs) pose significant diagnostic challenges. In the acute phase, especially when patients are present within the therapeutic window for acute reperfusion treatments, a misdiagnosis of FSM can lead to unnecessary and costly interventions. Despite its clinical importance, the literature on the risk...
Exploring energy poverty in urban and rural contexts in the Era of climate chan...
Dokupilová, Dušana; Stojilovska, Ana; Palma, Pedro; Gouveia, João Pedro; Paschalidou, Eleftheria G.; Barrella, Roberto; Feenstra, Marielle; Horta, AnaThis article examines the multidimensional problem of energy poverty, focusing on its connections to climate change and its manifestation at rural and urban scales across selected European countries and Israel. The study examined 31 locations in eight countries with diverse geo‐graphical and economic backgrounds: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, North Macedonia, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia, and Is...
Boas práticas ao Serviço do Utente - Centro Hospitalar do Tâmega e Sousa, EPE
Vaz de Almeida, Cristina; Ribeiro Nunes, José; Rocha, Amélia; Dias, Ana Isabel; Marinho, Bruno; Maia, Carla; Botelho, Carlos; Fagundes, CláudiaO CHTS pretende e ambiciona na literacia em saúde, na vertente do cidadão, que haja mais igualdades em saúde e que, este cidadão perante a necessidade de tomar decisões de forma autónoma (muitas vezes de elevada complexidade), sobre a promoção de saúde, prevenção das doenças ou seu tratamento, esteja informado e com conhecimentos para o fazer. Pretende que o cidadão seja capaz de obter melhor acesso aos cuidado...
Cooling degree models and future energy demand in the residential sector. A sev...
Castaño-Rosa, Raúl; Barrella, Roberto; Sánchez-Guevara, Carmen; Barbosa, Ricardo Manuel Mafra; Kyprianou, Ioanna; Paschalidou, EleftheriaThe intensity and duration of hot weather and the number of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, are increasing, leading to a growing need for space cooling energy demand. Together with the building stock’s low energy performance, this phenomenon may also increase households’ energy consumption. On the other hand, the low level of ownership of cooling equipment can cause low energy consumption, leading to...
Energy poverty in Portugal: Combining vulnerability mapping with household inte...
Horta, Ana; Gouveia, João Pedro; Schmidt, Luísa; Sousa, João Carlos; Palma, Pedro; Simões, SofiaEnergy poverty seriously affects living conditions and health. In spite of its mild climate, Portugal has been pointed out as one of the most vulnerable countries in the European Union. Due to the multidimensionality of energy poverty, attention needs to be paid to specific factors contributing to it in different contexts. This paper contributes to a better understanding of energy poverty by providing results f...
The urbanisation on the slopes of Sarajevo and the rise of geomorphological haz...
Martín-Díaz, Jordi; Palma, Pedro; Golijanin, Jelena; Nofre, Jordi; Oliva, Marc; Čengić, NihadWithin the interdisciplinaryfield of urban geomorphology, scholars have recently paid attention to the in-creasing vulnerability of landscapes, due principally to the construction of housing and infrastructure. Withregard to the case of Sarajevo and more specifically the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, historically, itsparticular geographic setting has maintained a central role in the spatial distribution of...
Post-little ice age paraglacial processes and landforms in the high Iberian mou...
Serrano, Enrique; Oliva, Marc; González-García, María; López-Moreno, Juan Ignacio; González-Trueba, Juan; Martín-Moreno, Raúl; Gómez-Lende, ManuelThree Iberian mountain ranges encompassed glaciers during the Little Ice Age (LIA): the Pyrenees, Cantabrian Mountains, and Sierra Nevada. The gradual warming trend initiated during the second half of the 19th century promoted the progressive shrinking of these glaciers, which completely melted during the first half of the 20th century in the Cantabrian mountains and Sierra Nevada and reduced by 80% of their LI...
Spatial distribution of morphometric parameters of glacial cirques in the Centr...
Lopes, Luis; Oliva, Marc; Fernandes, Marcelo; Pereira, Paulo; Palma, Pedro; Ruiz-Fernández, JesúsGlacial cirques are typical landscape features of mid-latitude mountain environments like the Central Pyrenees. Their morphology as well as their spatial distribution provides insights about past glaciers and climates. In this study, we examine the distribution, morphometrical and topographical characteristics of glacial cirques in two U-shaped glacial valleys located in the Central Pyrenees – the Aran and the ...
Spatial characterization of glacial and periglacial landforms in the highlands ...
Palma, Pedro; Oliva, Marc; García-Hernández, C.; Gómez Ortiz, A.; Ruiz-Fernández, J.; Salvador-Franch, F.; Catarineu, M.Sierra Nevada constitutes the southernmost and highest massif in the Iberian Peninsula, with elevations exceeding 3000m. Two large glacial advances were recorded during the Last Glaciation and several minor advances occurred until the Early Holocene. Since then, periglacial activity has prevailed above 2500m. Here, we present a new and more accurate geomorphological map of the highlands of Sierra Nevada, integr...
Building a prosodic profile of European Portuguese varieties: the challenge of ...
Cruz, Marisa; Oliveira, Pedro; Palma, Pedro; Neto, Bruno; Frota, SóniaIn the present paper we explore a methodology to map prosodic variation in Portuguese, namely intonation and rhythm, which goes beyond the traditional approaches used to represent segmental, lexical or syntactic variation. To find the most adequate mapping method for intonation and rhythm, we tested spatial interaction models for the representation of nuclear contours, and spatial interpolation methods for rhyt...
