Health and environmental impacts of shifting to plant-based analogues: a risk-b...

Purpose: Plant-based analogues (PBAs) simulate animal-based foods’ attributes and can facilitate adherence to flexitarian and vegetarian dietary patterns, which have been associated with health benefits. However, possibly classifying PBAs as ultra-processed (UPF) and excluding healthy animal-based foods (e.g., fish) can result in unintended health risks. This study aims to quantify the health and environmental ...

Cancel Culture vs Freedom of Expression

Over the last few years, the cancel culture has become a central and controversial topic in public discourse, especially on social media and in the media. This phenomenon has provoked intense and extreme debates about freedom of expression, individual responsibility and social justice. While some defend cancellation as a tool to hold individuals accountable for behaviour that is detrimental to democratic living...

ESS design and management considering solar PV to fed off-grid EV charger

The increase of electric vehicles creates several challenges to the electric grid, mainly in those with weak power or off-grid. DC microgrids are becoming more and more important in the context of renewable energy sources, where solar PV systems are dominant. In this paper is proposed the design of a DC system to charge electric vehicles using PV generation and a battery storage system. A single DC-DC converter...

Os Programas de Mentoria são cada vez mais reconhecidos como uma estratégia eficaz de apoio à integração dos estudantes nas instituições de ensino superior, apresentando vantagens ao nível académico, social e pessoal, motivando para o estudo (DuBois et al., 2002), contribuindo para o sucesso académico (Oliveira, 2020 & 2021) e para a prevenção do abandono (De Backer, Keer, Valcke & 2012). O Programa Mentori@IPL...

Deciphering heat wave effects on wheat grain: focusing on the starch fraction

Wheat is an essential staple food, and its production and grain quality are affected by extreme temperature events. These effects are even more relevant considering the increasing food demand for a growing world population and the predicted augmented frequency of heat waves. This study investigated the impact of simulated heat wave (HW) conditions imposed during grain filling on starch granule characteristics, ...

Influence of habitat edges on spatial and spatio-temporal occurrence patterns o...

Human population growth leads to drastic changes in landscape structure that often result in fragmentation. Fragmentation modifies the landscape and divides it into smaller habitat patches, creating habitat edges. These can affect the distribution and abundance of species and influence interspecific interactions. By comparing edges with habitat interiors, we intend to study how or if habitat edges influence mes...

National survey to Portuguese Angiology and Vascular Surgery residents – Insigh...

INTRODUCTION: Vascular Surgery is a demanding specialty with vast technological and research advances in the last decades. This has led to an increasing complexity of providing adequate training programs for the modern Vascular Surgeon. Our aim was to understand the current satisfaction rates and perceived limitations of the Vascular Surgery residency program in Portugal by performing an online survey to reside...
