Towards a de facto Nonlinear Periodization: Extending Nonlinearity from Program...
Afonso, José; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Ribeiro, João; Ferreira, Miguel; Fernandes, Ricardo J.Planning is paramount in sport. Among different philosophical approaches to planning, periodization is a highly popular concept that refers to structured training periods with ensuing programs encompassing moments of progressively-loaded training, followed by recovery; it is normally deemed paramount to optimize adaptations and performance. While planning provides generic guidelines, periodization refers to the...
More than an Appendicitis: A Case of an Appendiceal Neuroendocrine Tumor
F. Pascoal, Margarida; Bernardo, Margarida; Ribeiro, João; Mira, PauloAppendiceal neuroendocrine tumors are the most common neoplasms of the appendix, often diagnosed incidentally during appendectomy in cases of acute appendicitis. Their estimated prevalence ranges from 0.16%-2.3%, with a higher incidence among women in their second to fifth decades of life. While most tumors exhibit an indolent course with a favorable prognosis, more aggressive histological subtypes may metastas...
Economic and Financial Evaluation of Cork Oaks Forest Plantations Under Fertirr...
Camilo-Alves, Constança; Nunes, José António; Poeiras, Ana; Ribeiro, João; Vaz, Margarida; Mota Barroso, João; Almeida-Ribeiro, NunoCork oaks usually become productive after 20 years of age. To shorten this period, fertirrigation has been tested to enhance tree vitality and growth, thus anticipating cork stripping. This study aims to determine the economic and financial indicators of this afforestation technique compared to rainfed indicators. Simulations were conducted based on information gathered from fertirrigated and rainfed stands, as...
Analysis of Crown and Root Orientation of Quercus suber in Relation to the Irri...
Šleglová, Kristýna; Camilo-Alves, Constança; Poeiras, Ana; Ribeiro, João; Almeida-Ribeiro, Nuno; Surový, PeterThis study investigates the effect of the spatial distribution of soil water and nutrients on cork oak (Quercus suber) architecture. Fertirrigation is being tested in cork oak plantations to accelerate tree growth up to the production stage. To assess the impact of wet bulb location on tree development, six trees (three subjected to subsurface drip irrigation and three controls) were fully excavated at a sandy ...
Impacts of Quercus suber irrigation on improving floristic diversity and soil q...
Raposo, Mauro; Maymone, Marta; Pinto-Gomes, Carlos; Poeiras, Ana; Nunes, José; Ribeiro, João; Almeida-Ribeiro, Nuno; Camilo-Alves, ConstançaWe analyzed the dynamics of floristic diversity and soil characteristics in a 10-year-old fertirrigated cork oak (Quercus suber) stand, a species of high ecological, social, and economic importance in the Mediterranean region. Given the decline of cork oak in recent decades, long-term research on newly established stands using fertirrigation was initiated to accelerate tree growth until productive maturity. The...
Multinational attitudes toward AI in Health Care and diagnostics among Hospital...
Busch, Felix; Hoffmann, Lena; Xu, Lina; Zhang, Long Jiang; Hu, Bin; García-Juárez, Ignacio; Toapanta-Yanchapaxi, Liz; Gorelik, Natalia; Gorelik, ValérieThe successful implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care depends on its acceptance by key stakeholders, particularly patients, who are the primary beneficiaries of AI-driven outcomes. OBJECTIVES To survey hospital patients to investigate their trust, concerns, and preferences toward the use of AI in health care and diagnostics and to assess the sociodemographic factors associated with patien...
Operationalising flexible planning coupled with ongoing assessment strategies. ...
Loureiro, Manuel; Mesquita, Isabel; Ramos, Ana; Coutinho, Patrícia; Ribeiro, João; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Nakamura, Fábio Yuzo; Afonso, JoséEmbracing a tailor-made approach to training, the aim of this study was to understand how ongoing adaptation and planning of training sessions (through bidirectional feedback between planning and assessment) contrasts with a more rigid planning with only 4-weeks adaptations, and how those differences impact on learnin trajectories. A longitudinal, randomized design with a qualitative analysis was conducted duri...
Acute Kidney Injury and Electrolyte Imbalances Caused by Dapagliflozin Short-Te...
Lopes, António Cabral; Lourenço, Olga; Morgado, Sandra; Gaspar, Andreia; Freire, Idalina; Eusébio, Inês; Ribeiro, João; Silva, Mafalda; Mendes, MartaDapagliflozin, a sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), has shown demonstrated benefits for renal and cardiovascular outcomes in large clinical trials. However, short-term concerns regarding its impact on renal function and electrolyte balance exist. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of dapagliflozin on renal function and electrolyte balance in patients newly prescribed the medicat...
Bridging the gap between training and competition in elite rink hockey : a pilo...
Ferraz, António; Pérez-Chao, Enrique Alonso; Ribeiro, João; Spyrou, Konstantinos; Freitas, Tomás T; Santos, João Valentes dos; Alcaraz, Pedro EBackground: Monitoring training load and competition load is crucial for evaluating and improving athlete performance. This study proposes an applied approach to characterize and classify the training task specificity in relation to competition in a top-level rink hockey team, considering external and internal load from training tasks and competition. Hypothesis: Training tasks and game demands have significant...
