Mapping accessible transport for persons with reduced mobility [report]

The aim of this study is to facilitate and increase the distribution of personalised travel information for persons with disabilities and reduced mobility (PRM). To this end, the study team carried out two steps: an inventory of existing information tools and the information they provide on barrier-free mobility within the European Union, and a pilot experiment integrating accessibility information in an intera...

Improving indoor air quality in a higher-education institution through biophili...

Schools are vital infrastructures where students acquire essential skills and foster social values. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is of paramount importance in schools, given that students spend a considerable amount of time indoors. This study examines the influence of a natural green structure (NGS) on IAQ in an Eco-Campus classroom. The IAQ of a classroom with an NGS was compared to that of an adjacent classroom ...

Pedestrian perceptions of sidewalk paving attributes: insights from a pilot stu...

The influence of sidewalk paving materials on pedestrian safety and comfort remains an underexplored topic within the walkability literature. This pilot study aims to address this gap by evaluating the role of five surface-related attributes—roughness, friction, texture, heat retention, and maintenance—through a qualitative approach complemented by a simplified quantitative evaluation. The study was conducted a...

Engineering-based evaluation of sidewalk pavement materials: implications for p...

This study assesses the performance of sidewalk pavement materials by evaluating five parameters that influence pedestrian safety and comfort: surface roughness, friction, texture, heat retention, and solar reflectance. Conducted along a pedestrian route in Braga, Portugal, this research adapts methods commonly used in road pavement analysis at seven testing points paved with different materials. In addition, a...

The European Portuguese version of the Brief Negative Symptom Scale

Negative symptoms reflect a currently much-untreated loss of normal functioning and are frequently found in psychotic disorders. We present the first translation of the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS) to European Portuguese and evaluate its validity in a sample of Portuguese male patients with a psychotic spectrum disorder. The Portuguese BNSS showed excellent internal consistency, high convergent validity ...

An Exploration of Blood-Based Biomarkers of Negative Symptoms of Psychosis in Men.

Negative symptoms in the context of psychosis are still poorly understood and diagnosed, which impairs the treatment efficacy of current therapies and patient's integration in society. In this study, we aimed to test hypothesis-based and exploratory associations of negative symptom domains, as defined by the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS), with hormonal and hematological variables, and, complementarily, wi...

Hipocoagulation in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Admitted for Hemorrhag...

Introduction: The stroke prevention strategy in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and atrial fibrillation (AF) is a clinical dilemma. The aim of this study was to evaluate themanagement of anticoagulation therapy in patients with AFand admitted with ICH. Methods: We performed a descriptive analysis of patientsadmitted for ICH from 2009 to 2021. Data collection was carried out by consulting the proces...
