Characterization of 24 years of amputations performed in Portugal (2000-2023)
Matos, José Pedro; Matos, Mariana; Ramos, M. Rosário; Ricardo, Diogo; Carolino, ElisabeteAmputation, whether surgical or traumatic, entails the loss of a body segment due to irreparable injury caused by trauma, vascular conditions, or other pathologies. Among individuals with diabetes, amputation remains one of the most feared and recognized outcomes. However, early diagnosis and timely intervention could prevent approximately 50% of diabetes-related amputations and ulcerations. This retrospective ...

Spatial and multivariate statistics in assessing water quality in the North Sea
Ody, Christopher; Ramos, M. Rosário; Carolino, ElisabeteThe Southern North Sea region plays a vital role in both the economy and society of the surrounding countries. Analyzing the quality of your water is a critical process that involves an assessment of physical, chemical, and biological parameters, essential to guarantee environmental sustainability and the health of local communities and marine ecosystems. Using Multivariate and Spatial Statistics methods, this ...
A Strategy to Assess Water Meter Performance
Cordeiro, Clara; Borges, Ana; Ramos, M. RosárioApparent water losses can be problematic to water companies’ revenues. This type of loss is very difficult to detect and quantify and is often associated with water meter anomalies. This study was motivated by a water company’s challenge that links a decrease in water consumption to water meters’ malfunction. The aim is to develop a strategy to detect decreasing water usage patterns, contributing to meter perfo...
Projection of the number of amputations in diabetics: an aid for the planning o...
Carolino, Elisabete; Matos, José Pedro; Ramos, M. RosárioAmputation is the loss (surgical or traumatic) of a segment of the body, applied in the event of an injury (traumatic, vascular, or other) that has irreparably affected the human being, causing functional limitation. Amputation also represents a considerable negative socio-economic impact for families and governments. Knowing the numbers, and establishing the prevalence and future trends in limb loss is importa...
A strategy to assess water meter performance
Cordeiro, Clara; Borges, Ana; Ramos, M. RosárioA recurring problem that troubles water companies is that of timely detection of malfunctioning water meters. Indeed, defective water meters impair the management of water supply and diminish water companies’ revenues. The management of nonrevenue water (NRW) is one key issue for improving water use efficiency, reducing gaps between water supply and demand (Ncube and Taigbenu 2019). Water losses in the distribu...
Do Spanish Students Become More Sustainable after the Implementation of Sustain...
Hamón, Leyla Angélica Sandoval; Martinho, Ana Paula; Ramos, M. Rosário; Aldaz, Cecilia Elizabeth Bayasigher Education Institutions (HEIs) are a critical component to develop and promote sustainable solutions for both society and the planet. A challenge to HEIs is to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to achieve Sustainable Development (SD), as they are important stakeholders. In order for a person to take responsibility for a sustainable future, it is not only important to implement SDs in ...
