Background: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), a chronic condition characterized by gastrointestinal inflammation, is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Emerging evidence suggests a “mouth-gut axis,” with the oral cavity reflecting extra-intestinal manifestations of IBD. This study evaluated the oral health status of IBD patients and the potential of salivary calprotectin (SCP) as a biomarker for a...
INTRODUCTION: Contraceptive counselling plays a crucial role in Family Planning within Primary Healthcare. While combined hormonal contraceptives (CHC) are widely used, it is essential to consider alternatives for women diagnosed with migraine. The primary objective of this project is to ensure the appropriate prescription of contraceptives for women diagnosed with migraine within a Portuguese family health uni...
O artigo caracteriza tipologicamente três dolia completos, recuperados na zona ribeirinha da cidade romana de Salacia, actual Alcácer do Sal.
Urban ecosystems are suitable for the introduction and spread of alien bird species, and early detection of their establishment and expansion is crucial to reduce potential negative impacts. In this context, the use of opportunistic citizen science data can have considerable advantages in relation to conventional scientific approaches. We gathered records of parakeets and parrots (Psittaciformes) and mynas and ...
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar a coleção de dolia provenientes de dois contextos arqueológicos romanos do concelho de Fronteira (Portugal) – a villa da Horta da Torre (2012-2019) e o sítio de São Pedro (2000-2005), incluindo a área junto à Igreja de São Pedro. Foram caracterizados e classificados tipologicamente um total de 37 fragmentos. Com o objetivo de identificar o conteúdo dos dolia, fora...
O presente artigo expõe uma súmula embrionária sobre a presença de dolia no espaço lusitano, desde a República até à Antiguidade Tardia, com natural focus no Período Imperial. Para além de um estado da arte sobre os trabalhos realizados a nível trans-provincial, na Hispania,na Gallia e na Italia, apresenta-se a base empírica publicada sobre os centros de produção potenciais (arquitecturas e formas produzidas) e...
The urgency in mitigating the climate change effects and the expecting rise of energy consumption in the coming decades will require zero-carbon sources like renewables, fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage, and sustainable storage solutions like underground gas storage. Hydrogen geological storage in porous rock formations is expected to play a major role for sustainable energy systems, offering large-...
This study, part of the H2GeoStore R&D project, investigates underground hydrogen storage in saline aquifers as a solution for large-scale, long-term energy storage to support renewable energy systems. Using reservoir simulations of cyclic hydrogen injection and withdrawal under various conditions and reservoir heterogeneities, the research evaluates performance metrics like injectivity, productivity, and stora...
This study presents the construction of a 3D static geological model with uncertainty assessment for the Q4-TV1 prospect in the offshore northern Lusitanian Basin, Portugal, as part of the PilotSTRATEGY project. Using seismic interpretation, well data, and petrophysical logs, lithofacies and reservoir properties were simulated with geostatistical algorithms in Aspen SKUA. The models reproduced the geological fr...
This study, conducted within the PilotSTRATEGY project, explores the optimization of CO₂ injection under geological uncertainties in the Q4-TV1 prospect of the offshore Lusitanian Basin, Portugal. A static model integrating seismic and well data was coupled with dynamic simulations in the Big Loop framework, combining Bayesian optimization with uncertainty analysis. Geological risks, including intersecting faul...
