Machine learning prediction of adolescent obesity using physical fitness data
Sampaio, Tatiana; Encarnação, Samuel; Amaro, Bruna; Ribeiro, Joana; Branquinho, Luís; Monteiro, António M.; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Hattabi, SoukainaThe escalating prevalence of obesity among adolescents has emerged as a critical global public health challenge. Machine learning techniques have been used to predict obesity in adolescents. This study aimed to develop and validate a robust obesity prediction model for adolescents using this hybrid approach, leveraging data from a diverse cross-sectional population-based study. The hybrid method combines statis...
Green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using the seaweed Fucus spiralis and thei...
Abreu, João; Ribeiro, Joana; Rocha, Verónica; Fernandes, Mário; Ferreira, Inês; Santos, Joana; Sárria Pereira de Passos, Marisa; Silva, C.The increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) underscores the need for effective therapeutic strategies. Nanotechnology can provide new tools to counteract neurotoxicity, namely by improving bioavailability of therapeutic molecules in the brain. Brown seaweeds, such as Fucus spiralis (FS), are rich in bioactive compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cytoprotect...
Toxicological profiling of nutraceutical-grade curcumin-loaded solid lipid nano...
Gonçalves, Raquel F. S.; Ribeiro, Joana; Martins, Joana T.; Passos, Marisa Sárria Pereira; Gomes, Andreia Castro; Vicente, A. A.; Pinheiro, Ana C.The development of bio-based nanostructures to encapsulate bioactive compounds represents a promising approach for creating functional foods with improved nutritional and health benefits. However, their regular dietary use raises safety concerns, even when using food-grade ingredients. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of curcumin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN_curc) through in vitro assays with ...

Este artigo descreve um projeto de intervenção para incentivar a amamentação e melhorar o conhecimento dos futuros pais. Métodos: Realizada uma sessão formativa sobre amamentação para grávidas da USF Rainha D. Am...
Breastfeeding for Better Health – A Community-Based Intervention
Padilha, Sofia; Arantes, Pedro; Sarmento de Beires, Teresa; Ribeiro, Joana; Eiras, AndreiaIntroduction: Breastfeeding provides multiple health benefits for both mother and child. Several studies suggest that community interventions enhance breastfeeding literacy, practice and duration. The authors developed an intervention to improve parents’ knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding in the prenatal period as a means of promoting this practice. Methods: An informative session on breastfeeding was o...
Compositional variation of soils from Cabo Mondego (Portugal): new data to supp...
Heck Michels, Fernando; Ribeiro, Joana; Henriques, Maria Helena; Misz-Kennan, Magdalena; Fabiańska, MonikaABSTRACT: This study aims to determine physicochemical parameters of soils from Cabo Mondego area (Central Portugal), allowing the establishment of the natural background to serve as a reference to identify variations resulting from industrial activities. Forty-three surface soil samples were collected near the deactivated industrial complex and another seven in more distant areas. The soils present a predomina...
Natural radioactivity of soils surrounding the deactivated Sines thermal power ...
Erbolato Filho, José; Ribeiro, Joana; Pereira, AlcidesABSTRACT: For 36 years, the coal combustion in Sines thermal power plant generated a complex mixture of gases and particles that were partially emitted into the atmosphere and the environment. The determination of radiological parameters in soils surrounding the power plant reveals that soils in the southern area have higher activity concentration of natural radionuclides (40K, 232Th, and 238U), as well as high...
Aplicação do método de resistividade elétrica na caracterização do calcário em ...
Gomes, Alexandre; Duarte, João; Ribeiro, JoanaRESUMO: O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi a caracterização do maciço calcário explorado na pedreira “EM&R nº 6478”, com base na aplicação do método geofísico de resistividade elétrica, tendo em vista a otimização da operação extrativa de calcário para fins ornamentais. Pretende-se identificar as zonas do maciço com coloração acinzentada, que apresentam menor interesse económico. Verificou-se que os valore...
Thermal stress and physiological responses in Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes subm...
Pereira, Diogo; Forte, Pedro; Leite, Luciano Bernardes; Ribeiro, Joana; Cachada, José M.; Bolani, Wladimir; Pussieldi, Guilherme de AzambujaAnalyze thermal stress and changes in physiological variables in simulated BJJ fights in a hot environment. The study included 12 male athletes, comprising 11 black belts and 1 brown belt. The athletes were divided into pairs according to their categories and there were four 10-minute bouts with 10 minutes of rest between bouts in a covered environment, during the night, with an ambient temperature (TA) of 29.3...
