Background: Gardnerella spp. is often seen as evidence of vaginal pathologies, although members of this genus can also be found in the urinary and vaginal microbiota of asymptomatic women [1,2], making its role in the urogenital tract unclear. Objective: To assess phylogenomic and functional analysis of Gardnerella genus. Resistance (ARGs) and virulence genes (Vg) was also explored to unveil their role in healt...
Fish by-products produced from fishing industry are estimated to represent 60 % (by mass) of total processed fish. These products are rich in proteins (49 to 57 % by mass), which could be further used in food and feed nutrition or nutraceuticals. Hydrolysis can be used to solubilize and increase the digestibility of these proteins. Further, the resulting protein hydrolysates frequently present interesting bioac...
We explored the attitudes toward older workers of African versus Portuguese managers, and how these managers make HRM decisions in scenarios involving younger versus older workers. To make cultural, social, and institutional explanations more robust, we also included two samples of students attending Portuguese universities: one sample comprising African students, the other comprising Portuguese ones. The main ...

The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has quickly swept the globe leaving a devastating trail of lost human lives and leading to a public health and economic crisis. With this in mind, prosociality has been heralded as a potential important factor to overcome the negative effects of the pandemic. As such, in this study, we examined the effectiveness of a brief reflexive writing exercise about...

With this in mind, prosociality has been heralded as potential important factor to overcome the negative effects of the pandemic. As such, in this study, we examined the effectiveness of a brief reflexive writing exercise about recent experiences of gratit...
Natural compounds have had increasing applications in the biotechnological sector, with a large fraction of these substances being channeled to the pharmaceutical industry due to their important pharmacological properties. The discovery of new bioactive molecules with novel mechanisms of action constitutes a promising solution for the design of alternative therapeutic solutions. Actinobacteria are a large group...
