Patient-reported outcomes in oral oncology: new approaches, contemporary visions
Castro, Inês; Guimarães, Maria Inês; Gavinha, Sandra; Lopes Ferreira, Pedro; Silva, Isabel; Ribeiro, Nuno; Sequeira, Teresa; Silveira, AugustaBackground: Emerging trends in Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) are transforming healthcare by centering the patient experience and emphasizing Quality of Life (QoL) in clinical decision-making [1]. Objective: Analyze the benefits of using PROs in daily critical practice based on the experience of our research group and literature review. To explore new strategies to apply results more efficiently in clinical d...
Gamification in e-Health: strategies for oral health
Castro, Inês; Guimarães, Maria Inês; Gavinha, Sandra; Lopes Ferreira, Pedro; Silva, Isabel; Ribeiro, Nuno; Cardoso Silva, Cristina; Silveira, AugustaBackground: Gamification in healthcare is an innovative approach that uses game elements to motivate and engage patients in healthy behaviors. Gamification in oral health uses various game elements to create engaging and motivating experiences for patients [1-7]. Some of the most common elements include goals and challenges to achieve, rewards to obtain, competition, feedback, and the creation of an engaging na...
Moisture Content Vegetation Seasonal Variability Based on a Multiscale Remote S...
Santos, Filippe; Rodrigues, Gonçalo; Potes, Miguel; Couto, Flavio; Costa, Maria João; Dias, Susana; Monteiro, Maria José; Ribeiro, Nuno; Salgado, RuiWater content is one of the most critical characteristics in plant physiological development. Therefore, this information is a crucial factor in determining the water stress conditions of vegetation, which is essential for assessing the wildfire risk and land management decision-making. Remote sensing can be vital for obtaining information over large, limited access areas with global coverage. This is important...
Insect flour as milk protein substitute in fermented dairy products
Neves, Vítor; Campos, Lara; Ribeiro, Nuno; Costa, Rui; Correia, Paula; C. Goncalves, J.; Henriques, MartaFermented dairy products (FDP) are consumed worldwide, due to their nutritional attributes and sensory properties. In the last decade, edible insects have been the subject of research as a sustainable source of protein to be introduced into the food industry. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of black soldier fly (BSF) and drone brood (DB) flours in FDP, with or without probiotics, as a viable su...
Evolution content in school textbooks: data from eight European countries
Panayides, Andreas; Sá-Pinto, Xana; Mavrikaki, Evangelia; Aanen, Duur K.; Aboim, Sara; Cavadas, Bento; Dvorakova, Radka Marta; Eens, MarcelBackground: Evolution is a unifying theme in biology and its understanding is essential to address sustainability problems. However, many people across the world do not understand evolution. Textbooks are among the most widely used educational resources and the way they depict evolution may greatly impact students’ scientific literacy in evolution. In this paper we investigate which evolution concepts are addre...

A Multi-Scale Network with Percolation Model to Describe the Spreading of Fores...
Perestrelo, Sara; Grácio, Clara; Ribeiro, Nuno; Lopes, LuísForest fires have been a major threat to forest ecosystems and its biodiversity, as well as the environment in general, particularly in the Mediterranean regions. To mitigate fire spreading, this study aims at finding a fire-break solution for territories prone to fire occurrence. To the effect, here follows a model to map and predict phase transitions in fire regimes (spanning fires vs. penetrating fires) base...
Fuel load and fuel moisture characterization using remote sensing data over Por...
Santos, Filippe; Couto, Flavio; Dias, Susana; Ribeiro, Nuno; Salgado, RuiFire is a worldwide and complex phenomenon with a critical role in water and carbon cycles. Furthermore, Portugal will be warmer and drier than nowadays under future scenario projections linked to climate changes. In such a context, to cover large areas with temporal regularity, remote sensing can be helpful for a better understanding of surface vegetation representation. Therefore, it is essential to understan...
Study of mega fires in Portugal: surface, atmosphere and society perspectives
Salgado, Rui; Couto, Flavio; Andrade, Nuno; Campos, Cátia; Santos, Filippe; Purificação, Carolina; Filippi, Jean-Baptiste; Baggio, Roberta; Dias, SusanaA mega fire is a transversal problem to several fields, with impacts from the Earth’s atmosphere to human health and safety, quality of life and economic growth in affected areas. The study summarizes some recent studies developed at University of Évora, Portugal, covering the following areas: surface, atmosphere, and society. At surface, the study has been essential to understand the vegetation dynamic and fir...
Applying remote sensing information to build fuel load and fuel moisture maps o...
Santos, Filippe; Couto, Flavio; Dias, Susana; Ribeiro, Nuno; Salgado, RuiPortugal will be warmer and drier under future scenario projections linked to climate change, favouring more extreme wildfire events. As we know, fire has a worldwide scale with a critical role in water and carbon cycles. For this reason, it is essential to know and understand the vegetation dynamic and its role in the Earth system. Remote sensing can be helpful for better comprehension, once it is able to cove...
