Unlocking success: the crucial role of good clinical practices in veterinary pr...
Rodrigues, Inês C.; Ribeiro-Almeida, Marisa; Ribeiro, Jorge; Silveira, Leonor; C. Prata, Joana; Pista, Ângela; Martins da Costa, PauloBackground: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global health challenge, impacting both humans and animals [1]. The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria among pets heighten the risk of transmission to humans or animals, given their close interaction [2]. Objective: This study aimed to underscore the importance of implementing good clinical practices in veterinary medicine, using a clini...
Occurrence of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria Resulting from the Selective Pressur...
Rodrigues, Inês C.; Ribeiro-Almeida, Marisa; Ribeiro, Jorge; Silveira, Leonor; Prata, Joana C.; Pista, Angela; Martins da Costa, Paulo(This article belongs to the Special Issue Antimicrobial Use in Companion Animals); Because of public health concerns, much greater scrutiny is now placed on antibiotic use in pets, especially for antimicrobial agents that have human analogs. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the phenotypic and genotypic profiles of multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from nasal swabs samples taken from a one-year-o...
Feasibility of using bio-oil from biodiesel production for bio-bitumen creation
Pais, Jorge C.; Santos, Caio Rubens; Cabette, Marina; Hilliou, L.; Ribeiro, Jorge; Wang, Hainian; Mohd Hasan, Mohd RosliBio-oil resulting from biodiesel production, currently used for energetic valorisation, can be added to the bitumen, producing a bio-bitumen and acting as a bitumen extender by reducing its viscosity. Thus, this paper analyzes the feasibility of using bio-oil to create bio-bitumen. Two base bitumen were used, namely, 0/10 and 35/50 pen bitumen, combined with bio-oil from biodiesel production content of up to 10...

Playful Probes for Design Interaction with Machine Learning: A Tool for Aircraf...
Ribeiro, Jorge; Andrade, Pedro; Carvalho, Manuel Costa; Silva, Catarina; Ribeiro, Bernardete; Roque, LicínioAircraft maintenance is a complex domain where designing new systems that include Machine Learning (ML) algorithms can become a challenge. In the context of designing a tool for Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) in aircraft maintenance planning, this case study addresses (1) the use of Playful Probing approach to obtain insights that allow understanding of how to design for interaction with ML algorithms, (2) t...

Fernandes, Filipe; Machado, Joana; Araújo, Isabel; Dias, Almeida; Ribeiro, Jorge; Vicente, Henrique; Neves, JoséPsychometrics has been understood as the branch of psychology that deals with the design, administration, and interpretation of quantitative tests for the measurement of psychological variables such as intelligence, aptitude, personality traits. On the other hand, a focus in the literature on determinants of women’s health is the cost and benefit of occupying multiple roles as employee, spouse, and mother, yet ...
Employees balance and stability as key points in organizational performance
Neves, José; Maia, Nuno; Marreiros, Goreti; Neves, Mariana; Fernandes, Ana; Ribeiro, Jorge; Araújo, Isabel; Araújo, Nuno; Ávidos, LilianaSystem analyses deal with interrelationships between different variables that keep the system in balance. In many analysis of complex thinking, a system is viewed as a complex unit in which the ‘whole’ is not reduced to the ‘sum’ of its parts; the system becomes an ambiguous item because it consists of several entities that interact with unforeseen results or, in other words, it is situated at a transdisciplina...
An Entropic Approach to Technology Enable Learning and Social Computing
Alves, Vitor; Miranda, José; Dawa, Hossam; Fernandes, Filipe; Pombal, Fernanda; Ribeiro, Jorge; Fdez-Riverola, Florentino; Analide, CesarUnderstanding one’s own behavior is challenging in itself; understanding a group of different individuals and the many relationships between these individuals is even more complex. Imagine the amazing complexity of a large system made up of thousands of individuals and hundreds of groups, with countless relationships between those individuals and groups. However, despite this difficulty, organizations must be m...
Avoidance of Operational Sampling Errors in Drinking Water Analysis
Fernandes, Ana; Figueiredo, Margarida; Ribeiro, Jorge; Neves, José; Vicente, HenriqueThe internal audits carried out in the first half of 2019 in water laboratories as part of quality accreditation in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 showed a high frequency of adverse events in connection with sampling. These faults can be a consequence of a wide range of causes, and in some cases, the information about them can be insufficient or unclear. Considering that sampling has a major influence on th...
