Challenges in Human Resource Management for Millennial and Generation Z Cohorts...
Sousa, João P.; Oliveira, Carlos M.; Rodrigues, Nuno J. P.This study explores how the unique characteristics of Generation Y/Millennials and Generation Z influence talent retention challenges in the hospitality sector and identifies Human Resource Management (HRM) strategies that effectively address these generational dynamics. The multigenerational workforce in this industry spans multiple cohorts, each with distinct work values and expectations, and these generation...
Preserving visual acuity: a compelling 12-year case study of controlling neovas...
Tomás, Rita O.; Campos, António; Oliveira, Nuno; Soares, Pedro; Sousa, João P.Introduction: In neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) trials, anti-VEGF injection frequency decreases after the first year, while outcomes remain primarily related to the number of injections. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports of maintaining the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) for more than 7 years in extension studies. Objective To report a 12-year follow-up of a real-world ...
Does patient-specific instrumentation in primary total knee arthroplasty improv...
Caldeira-Dantas, Sofia; Gonçalves, Marta; Vaz-Pinto, Gonçalo; Dias, Pedro; Marreiros, Ana; de Almeida Fontes, Ana Paula; Sousa, João P.Background: Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) aims to increase the accuracy of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the long-term benefit compared to conventional instrumentation (CI), is still controversial. This randomized controlled trial compares the long-term outcomes between PSI and CI in TKA. Methods: Patients submitted to PSI or CI TKA with a minimum follow-up of 8 years were evaluated. Satisfac...
Impact of age, gender and body mass index on the efficacy of tranexamic acid in...
Viegas, Rui; Kumar, Abhishek; Carvalho, Maria M.; Vide, João; Fontes, Ana Paula; Sousa, João P.Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is effective and safe in decreasing blood loss and transfusion rate in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Few studies focused on the role of patients’ characteristics on the efficacy of TXA in TKA. The purpose of this study was to conduct a retrospective analysis to investigate if age, gender and BMI influence the efficacy of TXA in reducing perioperative blood loss in TKA. Methods...
Thrombophilic risk factors for retinal vein occlusion
Vieira, Maria J.; Campos, António; Carmo, Anália do; Arruda, Henrique; Martins, Joana; Sousa, João P.The aim is to study risk factors for retinal vein occlusion (RVO), such as thrombophilic and cardiovascular risk factors (CRF). A retrospective consecutive case series of 60 patients with RVO was made, tested for CRF, hyperhomocysteinemia, lupic anticoagulant, antiphospholipid antibody and 5 gene variants: factor V (FV) Leiden (G1691A), factor II (PT G20210A), 5,1-methylenetetra-hydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; 67...

Evaluation of markers of outcome in real-world treatment of diabetic macular edema
Campos, António; Campos, Elisa J.; Carmo, Anália do; Caramelo, Francisco; Martins, João; Sousa, João P.; Ambrósio, António; Silva, RufinoObjective: To evaluate short-term markers of outcome in diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: Prospective interventional case series included 122 eyes of 122 patients with recently diagnosed DME. Eyes were treated with a 3-monthly loading dose of ranibizumab or aflibercept and pro re nata thereafter. Serial enhanced deep imaging SD-OCT high resolution scans were used to measure subfoveal choroidal thickness (S...
Caracterização de zonas de cisalhamento dúctil com diferentes condições de P-T ...
Sousa, João P.; Rodrigues, Benedito C.; Pamplona, J.No presente trabalho analisou-se a relação entre a morfologia de corpos boudinados e as condições tectono-metamórficas em que estes se formaram e evoluíram. Com base neste pressuposto formula-se a hipótese de ser possível associar boudins, com características geométricas bem definidas, a ambientes metamórficos específicos. Foram estudados 345 boudins, distribuidos por quatro regiões com distintos graus de metam...
Análise geométrica de Shearband Boudins em zonas de cisalhamento dúctil com dif...
Sousa, João P.No presente trabalho pretende-se analisar, a partir da metodologia sugerida por Pamplona e Rodrigues (2011), a relação entre a morfologia de corpos boudinados e o ambiente metamórfico em que estes se formaram e evoluíram. Com base neste pressuposto formula-se a hipótese de ser possível associar boudins, com características geométricas bem definidas, a ambientes metamórficos específicos (Baixo Grau, Médio Grau e...
Application of shearband boudins analysis to understand ductile shear zones
Sousa, João P.; Rodrigues, Benedito C.; Pamplona, J.The methodology used for the kinematic analysis of H-T ductile shear zones based on geometric analysis of boudins, proved to be a easy application tool. The boudin analysis begans with the measurement of the Lb (boudin axis) orientation, as a fundamental element of the kinematic analysis in simple shear – Lb proved always to be perpendicular to a local displacement plane (Sx) that is defined as the plane that c...
