The influence of biochar particle size and concentration on bulk density and ma...
Verheijen, Frank G. A.; Zhuravel, Anna; Silva, Flávio C.; Amaro, António; Ben-Hur, Meni; Keizer, Jan JacobBiochar application to agricultural soils has been proposed as a way to increase crop production by improving soil chemical and physical properties. Liming potential and improved nutrient exchange on biochar surfaces are the most reported mechanisms. Wherever crops experience drought stress, improvements in soil water holding capacity (WHC) might also be an important mechanism. However, reported effects on soil...
Biochars in soils: towards the required level of scientific understanding
Tammeorg, Pritt; Bastos, Ana Catarina; Jeffery, Simon; Rees, Frederic; Kern, Jurgen; Graber, Ellen R.; Ventura, Maurizio; Kibblewhite, MarkKey priorities in biochar research for future guidance of sustainable policy development have been identified by expert assessment within the COST Action TD1107. The current level of scientific understanding (LOSU) regarding the consequences of biochar application to soil were explored. Five broad thematic areas of biochar research were addressed: soil biodiversity and ecotoxicology, soil organic matter and gre...

Alvarelhão, José; Silva, Anabela; Martins, Ana; Queirós, Alexandra; Amaro, António; Rocha, Nelson; Lains, JorgePurpose: To describe and compare the content of instruments that assess environmental factors using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, CINAHL and PEDro databases was conducted using a pre-determined search strategy. The identified instruments were screened independently by two investigators, and meaningful concepts were linked to...

Queirós, Alexandra; Alvarelhão, Joaquim; Silva, Anabela; Amaro, António; Teixeira, António; Rocha, Nelson Pacheco daAbstract. The paper presents the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a comprehensive model for a holistic approach for the design, development and evaluation of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) services for older adults. ICF can be used to systemize the information that influence individual's performance and to characterize users, theirs contexts, activities and participatio...
Transdisciplinarity in the education of health professionals: the ESSUA experience
Rocha, Nelson; Sousa, Liliana; Pereira, João Carlos; Melo, Elsa; Rua, Marília; Amaro, António; Costa, Rui; Marques, Alda; Silva, AnabelaTransdisciplinary is, currently, one of the major trends in higher education in order to follow the scientific, technological, social, cultural and ethical evolution. Transdisciplinary is a fundamental concept in the innovative approach implemented by the Health School of the University of Aveiro (Escola Superior de Saúde da Universidade de Aveiro - ESSUA) in the education of future health professionals (nurses...
