The emergence of artificial intelligence, the emphasis on value co-creation, innovations in vocational education, and the growing focus on inclusive and sustainable tourism are not merely trends—they signal a fundamental shift in how organizations op...
Avaliação do impacto do lítio no evitamento da Eisenia fetida: efeito da concen...
Oliveira, Lídia; Singh, Rupesh Kumar; Singh, Abhishek; Ghazaryan, Karen; Rodrigues, Paula; Sousa, João RicardoA exploração de lítio (Li) no solo tem intensificado a diminuição da respetiva qualidade. Este estudo avaliou o efeito do Li no solo, com base no comportamento da Eisenia fetida para diferentes concentrações (0, 100, 200, 400 e 800 mg kg-1), num solo artificial (SA) e natural (SN). Cerca de 15 recipientes-teste, relativos a 5 tratamentos e 3 repetições, foram preparados para cada solo, em que 10 minhocas adulta...
Efeito de dois sais de lítio no comportamento da Eisenia andrei em ensaios de e...
Barroso, João; Singh, Rupesh Kumar; Singh, Abhishek; Ghazaryan, Karen; Rodrigues, Paula; Sousa, JoDiferentes sais de lítio (Li) têm sido usados na avaliação do efeito do lítio (Li) no solo, dificultando a comparação dos resultados e conclusões sobre a contaminação emergente. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar o efeito do Li, na forma de dois sais, Li2CO3 (CLi) e Li2SO4 (SLi), através de um teste de evitamento com Eisenia andrei, usando o comportamento de fuga como parâmetro de medição. Foram testadas ...
Bacterial cellulose biosynthesis in the presence of raw moist olive pomace: A g...
Crugeira, Pedro; Khelifa, Halima; Barreira, Luísa; Halla, Noureddine; Barreiro, Filomena; Rodrigues, Paula; Peres, António M.; Schreiner, Tatiana B.In this study, the biosynthesis of bacterial cellulose (BC) by Komagataeibacter intermedius strain isolated from Kombucha tea in the presence of raw moist olive pomace (MOP) (concentration up to 40 % in the fermentation media) was studied. The BC membranes were characterized by their antioxidant activity, structural character- istics, crystallinity, thermal stability, and mechanical behavior. Using raw MOP acti...
Valorization of natural resources - development of a functional plant-based bev...
Fernandes, Filipa Alexandra; Roriz, Custódio Lobo; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Rodrigues, Paula; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.; Prieto Lage, Miguel A.Plant-based beverages are gaining attention due to their potential to offer sustainable and health-promoting alternatives to traditional dairy products. This study aimed to develop a dehydrated functional plant-based beverage composed of tigernut tubers (Cyperus esculentus L.), mukua pulp (Adansonia digitata L.), and thermal water. All matrices and the final beverage were fully characterized in terms of physica...
Translation and Adaptation of the Adult Developmental Coordination Disorders/Dy...
Rodrigues, Paula; Vasconcelos, Olga; Soares, Denise; Gonçalves-Lopes, Sónia; Sousa, Cláudia; Barros, RitaThis paper reports the psychometric characteristics of the Portuguese version of the Adult Developmental Coordination Disorders/Dyspraxia Checklist (ADC). An independent translation of the questionnaire from the original version into European Portuguese was conducted. The sample consisted of 346 Portuguese adults, aged 18 to 65 years. Analyses were performed using R software (version 4.1.0). Exploratory factor ...
Editorial: Microbial safety of animal-based food products
Andrade, María J.; Álvarez, Micaela; Rodrigues, PaulaThe studies gathered in this Research Topic focus on several key areas to ensure the safety of animal food products. Firstly, rapid pathogen detection is being improved through technologies like SWIR-HSI combined with advanced machine-learning techniques. Secondly, the use of natural antimicrobials, such as essential oils delivered via liposomes, is being explored to combat microbial development while minimizin...
Assessment of farmer’s knowledge and attitudes toward fungi and mycotoxin conta...
Bila, João; Macuamule, Custódia; Bombe, Amina; Ribeiro, Maria Isabel; Venâncio, Armando; Afonso, Sandra; Rodrigues, PaulaIn Mozambique, 80% of the population directly depends on agriculture as a source of food and income. However, some of the most produced food crops, such as maize, rice and peanuts, are easily contaminated by fungi and mycotoxins. The naturally high prevalence of mycotoxins can be aggravated by the high vulnerability and lack of knowledge of the farmers. The aims of this study were to assess the knowledge and pe...

Evaluation of corn drying and storage techniques to mitigate damage and total a...
Matusse, Cláudio; Bila, João; Macuamule, Custódia; Sampaio, Ana; Venâncio, Armando; Rodrigues, PaulaContamination of corn by molds and aflatoxins is a major problem in Mozambique, and appropriate drying and storage of this essential food crop is crucial. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different drying and storage techniques traditionally employed by smallholder farmers in the province of Gaza, Mozambique, in preventing degradation and aflatoxin contamination of corn. Two trials, one for drying an...
