Value incoherence precedes value change: Evidence from value development in chi...
Daniel, E.; Bardi, A.; Lee, J.A.; Scholz-Kuhn, R.; Elizarov, E.; Cieciuch, J.; Knafo-Noam, A.; Ramos, A.; Vecchione, M.; Algesheimer, R.; Alvarez, E.We test the theory that personality incoherence may instigate personality change in the context of personal values. Values’ near-universal organization makes value incoherence assessment straightforward. The study included 13 longitudinal samples from seven cultures (Australia, Israel Palestinian citizens, Israel Jewish majority, Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Switzerland), total N = 7,126, and T1 Mage ranging be...
AirVA - Indoor Air Quality Monitoring and Control with Occupants Alerting System
Ramos, A.; Bom Jesus, V.; Gonçalves, C.; Caetano, F.; Silveira, C.The objective of this work is to detail the development of an IoT system to monitor the indoor air quality index and record the entry and exit of occupants of the same space. Data is collected, processed, and sent to a data server through the MQTT communication protocol. This server is responsible for storing and displaying information on the ThingsBoard platform. To evaluate the solution, the air quality index...
Life cycle assessment of two diets for finishing Bísaro boars - a case study to...
Martin, L.; Santos, A.; Amaral, F.; Silva, D.; Ressurreição, S.; Ramos, A.; Charneca, R.; Costa, F.; Marmelo, C.; Martins, J.M.Improving animal feed efficiency to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GGE) is part of the support to be granted under the new Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan for Portugal. Pig producers do not have many alternatives to reduce the carbon footprint impact of their pork as the Feed Industry (FI) that supplies them still buys low-cost ingredients from the world market without considering their environmenta...
Influence of Sex and a High-Fiber Diet on the Gut Microbiome of Alentejano Pigs...
Albuquerque, A.; Garrido, N.; Charneca, R.; Egas, C.; Martin, L.; Ramos, A.; Costa, F.; Marmelo, C.; Martins, J.M.This study investigates the influence of sex and a dietary transition on the gut microbiota of a local Portuguese pig breed. Three groups of male Alentejano pigs (n = 10 each) were raised between ~40 and 160 kg LW. Group C included pigs that were surgically castrated, while the I group included intact ones; both were fed with commercial diets. The third group, IExp, included intact pigs that were fed commercial...
Efeito de uma dieta rica em fibra no crescimento, características da carcaça e ...
Martins, J.M.; Charneca, R.; Albuquerque, A.; Neves, J.; Freitas, A.; Costa, F.; Marmelo, C.; Ramos, A.; Martin, L.Este estudo visou avaliar em suínos Alentejanos (AL) os efeitos do sexo (animais castrados vs. inteiros) e de uma dieta de engorda rica em fibra no crescimento e qualidade da carcaça e gordura. Esta dieta experimental, com leguminosas produzidas localmente e subprodutos agroindustriais, tinha como finalidade reduzir os compostos causadores do sabor e odor a varrasco (“boar taint”) em machos inteiros. Usaram-se ...
LIPTracker - People Detection System Based on Their Devices
Silveira, C.; Ramos, A.; Gonçalves, C.This manuscript describes LIPTracker, a system for tracking human presence in indoor environments. LIPTracker uses devices connected to the same access point to identify specific users and track their real-time location. The location is estimated based on the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of the devices, and the system uses exit zones to determine whether a device is still in the monitored environme...
Monitoring Indoor Air Quality and Occupancy with an IoT System: Evaluation in a...
Ramos, A.; Jesus, V.; Gonçalves, C.; Caetano, F.; Silveira, C.Indoor air quality is a determining factor in maintaining occupant comfort, especially in educational environments such as classrooms. Traditional methods of monitoring indoor air quality and occupancy, such as casual inspections or periodic measurements, do not provide timely and accurate information for those who must make decisions about ventilation and controlling the number of occupants. Internet of Things...

Modelo de otimização para um alimento composto de acabamento de suínos autócton...
Martin, L.; Ressureição, S.; Amaral, F.; Silva, D.; Marmelo, C.; Costa, F.; Ramos, A.; Charneca, R.; Martins, J.M.A alimentação de suínos tem um custo significativo, mas para garantir a sustentabilidade da produção, há também que diminuir o impacte ambiental e promover a saúde. A formulação de um alimento composto (AC) é complexa. Neste trabalho pretendemos não só adequar as necessidades à disponibilidade de nutrientes, como minimizar custos e impacto ambiental. Recorremos à programação linear para encontrar um AC otimizad...
Functional Profile of Older Adults Hospitalized in Convalescence Units of the N...
Ramos, A.; Fonseca, C.; Pinho, L.; Lopes, M; Oliveira, H; Herinques, A.Aim: To evaluate the evolution of the functional profile of older adults admitted to a health unit in Portugal; to relate the functional profile of these individuals with age, sex, education level and emotional state; and to evaluate the probability of the degree of dependence as a function of age and sex. Methods: longitudinal, retrospective study with a sample of 59,013 older adults admitted to convalescence ...
