Efficacy and cost-effectiveness of an ACT and compassion-based intervention for...
Trindade, Inês A.; Soares, Andreia; Skvarc, David; Carreiras, Diogo; Pereira, Joana; Lourenço, Óscar; Sampaio, Filipa; Sousa, Bruno deBreast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women worldwide and carries a considerable psychosocial burden. Interventions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and compassion-based approaches show promise in improving adjustment and quality of life in people with cancer. The Mind programme is an integrative ACT and compassion-based intervention tailored for women with breast cancer, which aims to p...
International Classification of Orofacial Pain: Portuguese Translation (2024)
Parreira, Elsa; Fonseca, Júlio; Brás, Alice; Pereira, Joana; Pereira, Liliana; Oliveira, Renato; Moutinho, Rita; Machado, SaraThe new International Classification of Orofacial Pain (ICOP) (1st Edition), a joint venture of the International Headache Society, American Academy of Orofacial Pain (AAOP), Orofacial and Head Pain Special Interest Group (OFHP SIG) of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) and International Network for Orofacial Pain and Related Disorders Methodology (INfORM), lists all causes of orofacial ...
Restoring neuropetide Y levels in the hypothalamus ameliorates premature aging ...
Ferreira-Marques, Marisa; Carmo Silva, Sara; Pereira, Joana; Botelho, Mariana; Nóbrega, Clévio; López‐Otín, Carlos; Almeida, Luís Pereira deThe hypothalamus has been recognized as a regulator of whole-body aging. Neuropeptide Y (NPY), highly abundant in the central nervous system and produced by the hypothalamus, enhances autophagy in this brain region and mediates autophagy triggered by caloric restriction, suggesting a potential role as a caloric restriction mimetic and an aging regulator. Considering that hypothalamic NPY levels decline during a...
Importance of epidemiological studies in the preventing of pressure ulcers
Ramos, Andreia; Valente, Carla; Cabrita, Patrícia; Fernandes, Karina; Pereira, Joana; Santos, Nuno; Henriques, Maria FernandesCurrently, the existence of interruptions associated with pressure continues to be a present and current reality among hospitalized sick people. Pressure Ulcers (PU) are therefore considered a significant problem in health institutions, as they represent a considerable impact at a clinical, social and economic level, as well as a negative impact on the quality of life of patients and caregivers. PU are consider...
A curated dataset on the distribution of West Palaearctic freshwater bivalves
Lopes-Lima, Manuel; Aldridge, David C.; Álvarez, María G.; Araujo, Rafael; Barea-Azcón, José Miguel; Bikashvili, Ani; Bragado, Dolores; Bylyna, LiliaFreshwater bivalves (FWB) are attracting scientific and societal attention given their essential ecosystem services, ecological functions, and poor conservation status. Current knowledge of the spatial distribution of West Palearctic FWB is poor preventing the understanding of biogeography and conservation planning. One of the priorities of the pan-European networking project "CONFREMU - Conservation of freshwa...
UHPLC-MS/MS methodology for analysis of new synthetic opioids and hallucinogens...
Pereira, Joana; Antunes, Mónica; Neng, N.R.; Mustra, Carla; Franco, João; Fonseca, SuzanaBackground & Aims: New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) are a real contemporaneous threat, due to their potency, dangerousness, and lack of control/monitoring. The NPS group that has grown the most is the synthetic opioids group, where fentanyl and its analogues stand out. However, the emerging concerning synthetic opioids are nitazenes. Due to their high potency, even minimal consumption doses can lead to severe ...

An algorithm for the assignment and scheduling of tasks in human-robot collabor...
Pereira, Joana; Pimentel, Carina Maria Oliveira; Santos, VítorTo face the challenge of increasing productivity while having flexibility, collaborative robots can help manufacturing or assembly systems. However, it is essential to assign and schedule tasks between humans and robots to provide a successful Human-Robot Collaboration while considering the agents’ potential and limitations. Thus, the main goal and contribution of this paper is to present an algorithm inspired ...
Connectivity patterns and gene flow among Chelon ramada populations
Pereira, Esmeralda; Mateus, Catarina Sofia; Alves, Maria Judite; Almeida, Rita; Pereira, Joana; Quintella, Bernardo R.; Almeida, Pedro R.Catadromous species, such as the thinlip grey mullet Chelon ramada (Risso 1827), exhibit complex life history traits and migratory behaviours that have different repercussions at the population level and species genetic structure. To study the genetic variation and infer patterns of gene flow and population connectivity along species’ distribution across the Northeast Atlantic coast and the Mediterranean Sea, 4...
Livelihood vulnerability and human-wildlife interactions across protected areas
Pereira, Joana; Rosalino, L. M.; Ekblom, Anneli; Santos, MariaProtected Areas (PAs) are important wildlife refuges and act as climate change buffers, but they may impact human livelihoods, particularly engendering a high risk of negative human-wildlife interactions (HWI). Understanding synergies and trade-offs among the drivers of overall human vulnerability within PAs is needed to ensure good outcomes for conservation and human well-being. We examined how climate variabi...
