Cranial surgical approaches in the 21st Century Identified Skeletal Collection

In Forensic Anthropology, identification is comparing information from a person whose fate and whereabouts are unknown with data from a person who is present but whose identity is unknown. The rarer and more distinctive the characteristics observed during the anthropological investigation, the greater the probability of reaching an identification. Taking this into account, cranial surgeries can be considered go...

NATO and the collective securitisation of COVID-19: Discourse analysis of the c...

This article seeks to analyse NATO’s role as a security actor during the COVID-19 pandemic by studying how the organisation paved the securitising discourse constructing the COVID-19 pandemic as an existential threat between March and May 2020. We correspondingly apply collective securitisation theory in conjunction with discourse analysis of a selection of NATO statements. This enabled observations of an attem...

Inclusion of pineapple by-products as natural antioxidant sources in diets for ...

This study investigates the effects of pineapple by-products on feed preservation during storage at two different temperatures (25 °C and 4 °C) and on European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) stress resistance. Four isoproteic, isolipidic, and isoenergetic diets were manufactured: CTRL—negative control, commercial diet without added antioxidants; VITE—positive control, CTRL diet with 100 mg kg−1 of vitamin E; a...

A Integração da Música Contemporânea no Ensino do Trombone : ‘Resultados Prelim...

This article, part of my doctoral research, explores the integration of contemporary music into trombone teaching in Portugal, focusing on preliminary results and the pedagogical reflections that emerge from this practice. The study adopts an Action-Research methodology, structured in cycles of planning, action, and reflection, to evaluate the impact of this repertoire on students' technical and creative develo...

Análise sobre empregabilidade e associativismo nas áreas das Geociências em Por...

A empregabilidade e associativismo científico-profissional em Geociências em Portugal são raramente alvo de análise integrada. Neste estudo são analisados os resultados de um inquérito “online” promovido pelo projeto de comunicação de ciência “Sm-Ar-Te-F-O-Ne - Todos vêm das rochas”, em que os inquiridos responderam de forma voluntária, a questões associadas a empregabilidade, ligação entre academia e indústria...

Unravelling the effects of extrusion and drying temperatures on the radical sca...

Antioxidant supplementation of aquafeeds with natural sources is a current research trend within the context of a circular economy. However, natural antioxidants are highly vulnerable to thermal conditions during feed manufacturing, particularly during extrusion and drying. This study examines the impact of extrusion and drying temperatures on the antioxidant properties of aquafeeds supplemented with natural an...

Epigenetic Analysis of Long-term Epilepsy-Associated Tumors by Methylation-Spec...

Introduction: Ganglioglioma and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor represent the most common neoplasms in the group of long-term epilepsy-associated tumors. Mapping of epigenetic alterations, particularly DNA methylation, has recently been shown to offer promising perspectives in brain tumors, identifying key genes that may serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers. We aim to perform a genetic and epigenetic...

Peri-Lead Edema After Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson Disease: A M...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Peri-lead edema (PLE) is a poorly understood complication of DBS. We hereby report three cases of unilateral PLE after bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN)-DBS and discuss its diagnosis and management. Patient 1 reported a new-onset headache one month after his surgical procedure. Antibiotic treatment was administered....

Giant Bladder Stones: A Severe Manifestation of Urolithiasis: Litíase Vesical M...

Vulnerable marine ecosystems survey pilot missions with EVA Hybrid AUV/ROV

Fishing for deep-sea species occurs on continental slopes, ridges, and seamounts. Fishing operations using fishing gears that contact the bottom (e.g., trawls and bottom longlines) may have significant impacts on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs). VMEs refer to marine ecosystems with a population or community of sensitive taxa or habitats that are likely to experience substantial alteration from short-term to...
