The role of BioBlitzes in citizen science: insights from participants and experts
Tiago, Patrícia; Evaristo, I.; Pinto, B.Beyond its primary role in generating scientific knowledge, citizen science also carries a potent educational dimension. An example of citizen science activities is BioBlitzes, which are collaborative events that bring together both experts and citizens, all united by a common mission: to register species observations within a defined geographical area during a predetermined time frame. In addition to comprehen...
Co-inhibition of MPS-1 with BCL-2 family inhibitors enhances lung cancer cell k...
Pinto, B.; Silva, P.; Sarmento, B.; Carvalho-Tavares, J.; Bousbaa, HassanBackground: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, posing a significant public health challenge [1]. Currently available therapies, when administered as monotherapy, have limited efficacy, high toxicity, and can lead to increased tumor resistance. Overexpression of MPS-1, a protein kinase involved in mitosis, has been observed in various types of tumors. Its inhibition is associated with ab...
Combined Measurement of the Higgs Boson Mass in pp Collisions at s =7 and 8 TeV...
Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abdallah, J.; Abdinov, O.; Aben, R.; Abolins, M.; Abouzeid, O. S.; Abramowicz, H.; Abreu, H.; Abreu, R.; Abulaiti, Y.Made available in DSpace on 2022-05-02T18:42:56Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-05-14; A measurement of the Higgs boson mass is presented based on the combined data samples of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC in the H→γγ and H→ZZ→4 decay channels. The results are obtained from a simultaneous fit to the reconstructed invariant mass peaks in the two channels and for the two exp...

Multiple single cannulation technique of arteriovenous fistula: A randomized co...
Peralta, R.; Fazendeiro, J.; Pinto, B.; Gonçalves, P.; Sousa, R.; Félix, C.; Carvalho, H.; Vinhas, J.; Ponce, P.Introduction: Despite the impact needling has had on vascular access survival and patient outcome, there is no universal or standardized method proposed for proper cannulation. Rigorous studies are needed, examining cannulation practices, and challenges to achieving complication-free cannulation. Methods: This randomized, open-label trial was conducted at 18 dialysis units owned by a large private dialysis prov...
Contesting political decisions involving environmental issues: A case study in ...
Pinto, B.; Castro, P.This paper presents a case study about the drilling of offshore oil and gas in mainland Portugal, a process that ended with the cancelation of all contracts. It aimed to better understand the argumentative and value dynamics involved in how municipalities, populations, civic organizations, and others successfully contested the central government decision of prospection. Since the press was one of the main stage...
Does subjective assessment of dialyzer appearance reflect dialyzer performance ...
Matos, J. F.; Pinto, B.; Félix, C.; Carvalho, H.; Ponce, P.; Peralta, R.Introduction:In post-dilution online hemodiafiltration, a very thin balance subsists in preventingcoagulation of the extracorporeal circuit (ECC) during treatment and bleeding in the patient, con-cerning dialyzer status and anticoagulation dose.The aim of this study was to assess whether there are clinical outcome differences between thevisual aspect of the dialyzer’s status in terms of clottedfibers at end of ...
The late bloom of (modern) science communication
Entradas, M.; Junqueira, L.; Pinto, B.This chapter describes the emergence of modern science communication in Portugal. The chapter is organised in parts. Part 2 sets the context in which science communication activities emerged and flourished in the country during the mid-1990s, anchored by a top-down government policy. This story is an historical account of the social and political factors leading up to this important episode. Whenever possible, ...
A Strategic Model to take the First Step Towards Industry 4.0 in SMEs
Pinto, B.; Silva, F.J.G.; Costa, T.; Campilho, R.D.S.G.; Pereira, Maria TeresaOver the last few years, there has been a clear evolution in the suppliers of the automotive industry due to constant demands imposed by OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), systematically requiring an increase in the level of quality and competitiveness of products. The continuous requirement to increase productivity in this sector makes it necessary to modernize technology and the need to monitor all prod...
