The Georgia School Personnel Survey of school climate: Validity evidence from a...
Mendes, S. A.; Sinval, J.; Cadime, I.; Rodrigues, B.; Inman, R.; Neves‐McCain, J. R.; La Salle‐Finley, T. P.This study focuses on the adaptation of the Georgia School Personnel Survey (GSPS) to assess perceptions of school climate among Portuguese educational professionals, including teachers and support staff. Data from two samples (n1 = 1965; n2 = 2884) were analysed in the study. Through confirmatory factor analysis, the survey's structure was validated, revealing a second-order factor composed of six first-order ...
Quercetin-1,2,3-Triazole Hybrids as Multifunctional Anti-Alzheimer's Agents
Carreiro, Elisabete; Costa, Ana; Antunes, Célia; Burke, AJ; Pinto, F.; Ernesto, S.; Rodrigues, B.The number of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) continues to rise and, despite the efforts of researchers, there are still no effective treatments for this multifaceted disease. The main objective of this work was the search for multifunctional and more effective anti-Alzheimer agents. Herein, we report the evaluation of a library of quercetin-1,2,3-triazole hybrids (I–IV) in antioxidant, hydrogen peroxide...
Comparative study of the antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of two ty...
Boutoub, O.; El-Guendouz, S.; Manhita, Ana; Barrocas Dias, Cristina; Estevinho, L.M.; Paula, V.B.; Carlier, J.; Costa, M.C.; Rodrigues, B.; Raposo, S.Honey is a natural food product very famous for its health benefits for being an important source of antioxidant and phenolic compounds. Euphorbia honeys obtained from different regions of Morocco were evaluated for their ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, lipoxygenase, tyrosinase and xanthine oxidase activities. Their antioxidant properties were evaluated using the: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) r...
Adaptation and validation of the Portuguese version of the regulation of eating...
Teixeira, D.S.; Pelletier, L.; Encantado, Jorge; Marques, M.M.; Rodrigues, B.; Carraça, E.V.The aim of present study was two-fold: i) to translate and adapt the Regulation of Eating Behavior Scale to Portuguese (REBSp), and ii) to analyze its psychometrics properties (factorial validity with gender invariance analyses, reliability and construct validity). The study sample was composed by 471 Portuguese participants (68.4% females) with a mean age of 30.5 years (SD = 11.2). Structural equation modeling...

The use of technology as an instrument to support the attention of the old pers...
Gerardo, F.; Rodrigues, B.; Vasconcelos, M.; Oliveira, T.; Silva, M.; Alves, G,This article intends to explain the impact of a project using new technologies on older adults named Cordon Gris. This project uses information and communication technologies (ICT) while promoting the “Ageing in place” paradigm with the aim to assist older people in maintaining a healthy and independent life, as well as preventing inadequate nutrition. This paper describes the main strategies which were develop...
Classical fragile-X phenotype in a female infant disclosed by comprehensive gen...
Jorge, P.; Garcia, E.; Gonçalves, A.; Marques, I.; Maia, N.; Rodrigues, B.; Santos, H.; Fonseca, J.; Soares, G.; Correia, C.; Reis-Lima, M.BACKGROUND: We describe a female infant with Fragile-X syndrome, with a fully expanded FMR1 allele and preferential inactivation of the homologous X-chromosome carrying a de novo deletion. This unusual and rare case demonstrates the importance of a detailed genomic approach, the absence of which could be misguiding, and calls for reflection on the current clinical and diagnostic workup for developmental disabil...
Superimposed thermal histories in the southern limit of the Ossa Morena Zone - ...
Fernandes, Paulo Manuel Carvalho; Lopes, Gilda; Machado, G.; Pereira, Z.; Rodrigues, B.The Mississippian volcano-sedimentary complex in the Toca da Moura - Cabrela areas represents remnants of intra-volcanic marine sedimentary basins, formed during the collision between the Ossa Morena Zone with the South Portuguese Zone. These rock units are unconformably overlain by the Pennsylvanian intramontane coal-bearing Santa Susana Basin. Vitrinite reflectance determinations from rocks of these two basin...
Reply to Discussion on 'Detrital zircon geochronology of the Carboniferous Baix...
Rodrigues, B.; Chew, D. M.; Jorge, R. C. G. S.; Fernandes, Paulo; Veiga-Pires, C.; Oliveira, J. T.We would like to thank Pereira (2015) for his interest in our work and appreciate the opportunity to clarify some aspects of the Rodrigues et al. (2015) study. Here we dispute several fundamental assertions made in the discussion of our original paper. (1) Pereira (2015) states, based on the U–Pb detrital zircon data of Pereira et al. (2012a, 2014), that the turbidites of the Mértola (late Visean) and the Mira ...
Detrital zircon geochronology of the Carboniferous Baixo Alentejo Flysch Group ...
Rodrigues, B.; Chew, David; Jorge, Raul CG Santos; Fernandes, Paulo; Pires, Cristina Veiga; Oliveira, José TomásU–Pb detrital zircon data from the Baixo Alentejo Flysch Group in the South Portuguese Zone show significant age differences between formations. The Visean Mértola Formation and Serpukhovian to early Bashkirian Mira Formation are dominated by zircons in the 316–388?Ma age range, whereas the late Bashkirian to late Moscovian Brejeira Formation is dominated by zircons with an age range of 498–687?Ma. Detrital zir...
