A sexualidade é uma dimensão muito importante do desenvolvimento humano (Alonso-Martínez et al. 2021, 172; Leivo et al. 2022, 155; Torres-Cortés et al. 2023, 447), com implicações a nível da saúde física e da saúde mental (Barrense-Dias et al. 2020, 166; Morales et al. 2018, 340), nomeadamente para os/as jovens (Fernandéz-Rouco et al. 2019, 1240).1 Para a promoção de uma vivência positiva da sexualidade, a educ...
Leishmania infantum, a zoonotic vector-born parasite, is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral (VL), but also as cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the CL and ML cases diagnosed in mainland Portugal between 2010 and 2020. Collaboration was requested from every hospital of the Portuguese National Hea...
Factorial analysis of variance designs is commonly used in several fields like biology, ecology and social sciences. However, in practice, the underlying assumptions, normality and homoscedasticity, are easily violated. In recent years, several alternative tests were proposed to relax these assumptions, the Wald-type statistics and the ANOVA-type statistics, and tests based on the permutation of observations. F...
Most umbrella pine (Pinus pinea L.) stands are managed as agroforestry systems, whose main production is fruit, due to the edible and highly nutritious kernels, and are frequently associated to natural or seeded pastures and grazing. The stands have low density, in order to enhance crown growth and fruit production. Nevertheless, cone production, both with regard to number and weight, varies greatly between sta...
Cilia are hair-like appendages, consisting of a microtubule (MT)-based ciliary axoneme, that fulfill critical motility and sensory functions required for normal embryonic development and also for homeostasis of adult tissues. At their base, cilia have a centriole/basal body, which can be derived from the centrosome, and that nucleates the ciliary axoneme (primary cilia). Centrosomes consist of a pair of centrio...
When the null hypothesis of Friedman's test is rejected, there is a wide variety of multiple comparisons that can be used to determine which treatments di er from each other. We will discuss the contexts where di erent multiple comparisons should be applied, when the population follows some discrete distributions commonly used to model count data in biological and ecological elds. Our simulation study shows tha...
Abstract The problem of quality of teaching has many researchers and mobilizes resources in response to the need to assess the quality of education systems. This article is part of a research project, with the purpose of contributing to the identification and assessment of levels of quality in higher education provided by higher education institutions in Alentejo, taken from the indicator of school success. In ...
Utilizando plantas de Sorgo Sacarino, investigou-se a possibilidade de atenuação do efeito inibitório da salinidade pela aplicação de fertilização azotada. As plantas foram crescidas em solo, numa estufa, e regadas com três níveis de solução de cloreto de sódio (0, 5 e 15 g L-1 NaCl) e três níveis de solução de nitrato de amónio (0, 0,4 e 0,6 g L-1 NH4NO3), num desenho experimental 3 × 3, com 4 repetições, num ...
