Whole-genome sequencing resolves a polyclonal outbreak by extended-spectrum bet...
Perdigão, João; Modesto, Ana; Pereira, A. L.; Neto, O.; Matos, V.; Godinho, A.; Phelan, Jody; Charleston, James; Spadar, AntonKlebsiella pneumoniae has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen, with whole-genome sequencing (WGS) significantly improving our ability to characterize associated outbreaks. Our study sought to perform a genome-wide analysis of multiclonal K. pneumoniae isolates (n=39; 23 patients) producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases and/or carbapenemases sourced between 2011 and 2016 in a Portuguese tertiary-care...
Genomic Analysis of Prophages from Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates
Marques, Andreia T.; Tanoeiro, Luis; Duarte, Aida; Gonçalves, Luisa; Vítor, Jorge M. B.; Vale, Filipa F.Klebsiella pneumoniae is an increasing threat to public health and represents one of the most concerning pathogens involved in life-threatening infections. The resistant and virulence determinants are coded by mobile genetic elements which can easily spread between bacteria populations and co-evolve with its genomic host. In this study, we present the full genomic sequences, insertion sites and phylogenetic ana...

No polarization–Expected Values of Climate Change Impacts among European Forest...
Persson, Johannes; Blennow, Kristina; Gonçalves, Luisa; Borys, Alexander; Dutcă, Ioan; Hynynen, Jari; Janeczko, Emilia; Lyubenova, MariyanaThe role of values in climate-related decision-making is a prominent theme of climate communication research. The present study examines whether forest professionals are more driven by values than scientists are, and if this results in value polarization. A questionnaire was designed to elicit and assess the values assigned to expected effects of climate change by forest professionals and scientists working on ...
Quantifying Marine Macro Litter Abundance on a Sandy Beach Using Unmanned Aeria...
Gonçalves, Gil; Andriolo, Umberto; Gonçalves, Luisa; Sobral, Paula; Bessa, FilipaUnmanned aerial systems (UASs) have recently been proven to be valuable remote sensing tools for detecting marine macro litter (MML), with the potential of supporting pollution monitoring programs on coasts. Very low altitude images, acquired with a low-cost RGB camera onboard a UAS on a sandy beach, were used to characterize the abundance of stranded macro litter. We developed an object-oriented classification...
On the information provided by uncertainty measures in the classification of re...
Gonçalves, Luisa; Fonte, Cidália C.; Júlio, Eduardo N.B.S.; Caetano, MarioThis paper investigates the potential information provided to the user by the uncertainty measures applied to the possibility distributions associated with the spatial units of an IKONOS satellite image, generated by two fuzzy classifiers, based, respectively, on the Nearest Neighbour Classifier and the Minimum Distance to Means Classifier. The deviation of the geographic unit characteristics from the prototype...
