Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da aplicação de calcário dolomítico e de diferentes sistemas de pastoreio, na taxa de utilização da pastagem e no número de dias de pastoreio. Assim, constituíram-se 4 tratamentos: P1UC- sem aplicação de calcário dolomítico (U) e pastoreio contínuo (PC- 7 ovelhas/ha); P2UD- U e pastoreio diferido (PD- 16 ovelhas/ha); P3TD- aplicação de calcário dolomítico (T) e PD; P4TC- T e PC. A ...
The aim this study was to evaluate the effect of dolomitic limestone application (uncorrected, U and corrected, C) and two sheep grazing systems (continuous, CG and deferred, DG) in preferred grazing areas, in natural pastures. The stocking rate was of 7 sheep/ha in CG and 16 sheep/ha in DG. In 4 plots of 1ha each, four treatments were constituted: T1 (UCG); T2 (UDG); T3 (CDG); and T4 (CCG). The study was carri...
O Montado/Dehesa é um ecossistema agro-silvo-pastoril característico da região sudeste da Península Ibérica. A gestão das pastagens neste ecossistema é complexa, devido às interações entre estas e o solo, as árvores, os animais em pastoreio e o clima. As preferências alimentares dos ovinos em pastoreio podem ser influenciadas por fatores como a altitude das parcelas, o encabeçamento animal, a disponibilidade de...
O Montado é um ecossistema agro-silvo-pastoril multifuncional, de elevada complexidade típico do sudueste peninsular. As suas pastagens tendem a ser pobres, normalmente com pouca produtividade e de baixa qualidade. A composição florística das pastagens depende essencialmente das condições biofísicas e, também, do tipo e intensidade de pastoreio. Assim, tem-se verificado que determinados tipos de pastoreio, pode...

Fungal infections have emerged as a significant public health concern, especially with the increasing incidence of severe mycoses caused by pathogens such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida auris, Candida albicans, and Cryptococcus neoformans. These fungi, listed as critical priorities by the World Health Organization, pose a heightened risk due to rising antifungal resistance and their severe impact on immunoco...
Compared with the more physically fragile extremely/very preterm children (E/VPT), moderate-to-late preterm (MLPT) children—the large majority of preterm births—are underrepresented in research. This gap persists despite evidence that MLPT children exhibit more difficulties than full-term peers in certain domains. This scoping review surveys the literature on psychological forms of self-regulation in MLPT child...
The theory of the resource-based view addresses all the complexity of adopting strategic methods in competitive environments, such as the pharmaceutical industry, in which there is a constant struggle to acquire competitive advantage and for companies to differentiate themselves from others. Having said this, it is important to understand the impact that the resource-based view can have on the pharmaceutical in...
Introduction: Systemic sclerosis causes skin thickening, Raynaud’s phenomenon, visceral damage, and musculoskeletal issues. Hand impairment, affecting about 90% of patients, limits mobility, dexterity, and grip strength, significantly impacting daily life, with few treatment options. This study aims to characterize hand function in patients with Systemic Sclerosis and, secondarily, to describe those undergoing ...
The application of dolomitic limestone is a recommended practice for improving pastures established on acidic soils. On the other hand, pasture availability should determine the adjustment of the biotic load. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of pasture plant community composition as an indicator to assess the effects of intensification strat egies in the Montado ecosystem, specifically soil pH...
