Numerical evaluation and experimental validation of fluid flow behavior within ...

By combining biomaterials, cell culture, and microfluidic technology, organ-on-a-chip (OoC) platforms have the ability to reproduce the physiological microenvironment of human organs. For this reason, these advanced microfluidic devices have been used to resemble various diseases and investigate novel treatments. In addition to the experimental assessment, numerical studies of biodevices have been performed aim...

Design and in situ validation of low-cost and easy to apply anti-biofouling tec...

Biofouling is the major factor that limits long-term monitoring studies with automated optical instruments. Protection of the sensing areas, surfaces, and structural housing of the sensors must be considered to deliver reliable data without the need for cleaning or maintenance. In this work, we present the design and field validation of different techniques for biofouling protection based on different housing m...

DIGITAL SUBTRACTION PHLEBOGRAPHY USING A “HOMEMADE” CARBON DIOXIDE DELIVERY SYSTEM

Introduction and objectives: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a non-nephrotoxic contrast media. Due its advantages and to the lack of dedicated CO2 delivery system in some hospitals, homemade CO2 delivery systems have been developed in several institutions. The authors describe a CO2 “homemade” delivery system developed with resources available in the author’s hospital and present the preliminary results of its applicat...

Attitudes and decision-making in the child protection system: a comparison of s...

In the contexts of family neglect or maltreatment, the State intervenes by safeguarding the development and well-being of the child or young person in danger. In more severe situations, the intervention may lead to the child’s removal from the family. The Portuguese Law on the Protection of Children and Young People in Danger (Law 142/2015 of September 8th) favours the placement of the child in a family environ...

Carers and Professionals’ Perspectives on Foster Care Outcomes: The Role of Con...

This study investigates the association between the contact of children or young people in care with their family, and the foster care placement evaluation (positive or negative) in Portugal. According to the perspectives of foster carers and service professionals’ perceptions regarding children and young people’s reactions, during and after the visits, are measured. Utilizing a quantitative approach, two foste...

Professional Judgments and Decisions on Placement in Foster Care and Reunificat...

This study aims to analyse professional judgements and decisions made in the Portuguese child care system in face of a case vignette of child maltreatment. Using the approach proposed by Benbenishty et al. [(2015). Decision making in child protection: An international comparative study on maltreatment substantiation, risk assessment and interventions recommendations, and the role of professionals’ child welfare...

O contacto no acolhimento familiar. O que pensam as famílias de acolhimento e d...

Quando uma criança ou jovem maltratada é retirada da sua família e passa a viver em acolhimento familiar, o contacto entre a sua família de origem e a família de acolhimento é inevitável, mas coloca questões complexas. A relação que se estabelece, de modo direto ou indireto, entre os acolhedores e a família da criança acolhida, pode-se pautar pela recusa ou pela aceitação, pela cooperação ou pelo conflito, e de...

Acolhimento Familiar – O que pensam as crianças, as famílias e os profissionais

Decisão, risco e incerteza: retirada ou reunificação de crianças e jovens em pe...

This study aims to better understand what influences and determines decisions in contexts characterized by complexity and uncertainty, and contributes to the development of recommendations for practice. Based on the work of Davidson-Arad and Benbenishty (2008, 2010), we intended to understand how students from higher education, in scientific areas related to professions involved in decision making processes of ...
