Capturing homeostatic behaviour in elite football teams: Synchronisation tenden...
Santos, R.; Garganta, J.; Lopes, R. J.; Davids, K.; Ribeiro, J.This study, investigating the collective homeostasis model, explores the importance of understanding both individual and collective behaviours in analysis of team performance in sport. Rooted in ecological dynamics, this model views collective behaviours in sports teams as a homeostatic process, with structural integrity of performance empowered through synergistic actions at multiple levels. At the microlevel,...
Exploring internal, market and institutional dynamics that drive eco-innovation...
Santos, R.; Brás, G. R.; Preto, M. T.This study examines the determinants of eco-innovation adoption, drawing on data from 7083 firms in the 2014 Portuguese Community Innovation Survey. Although more recent waves of the survey reintroduced some questions related to environmental issues, the 2014 edition remains particularly valuable for its comprehensive coverage of eco-innovation types and firm-level characteristics relevant to this study. Using ...
Self-regulation in moderate-to-late preterm children: A scoping review
Feher, A.; Pereira, A.; Santos, R.; Mateus, V.; Baptista, J.Compared with the more physically fragile extremely/very preterm children (E/VPT), moderate-to-late preterm (MLPT) children—the large majority of preterm births—are underrepresented in research. This gap persists despite evidence that MLPT children exhibit more difficulties than full-term peers in certain domains. This scoping review surveys the literature on psychological forms of self-regulation in MLPT child...
Recommendations for the implementation of a national lung cancer screening prog...
Fernandes, M. G. O.; Dias, M.; Santos, R.; Ravara, S.; Fernandes, P.; Firmino-Machado, J.; Antunes, J. P.; Fernandes, O.; Madureira, A.; Hespanhol, V.Lung cancer (LC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) programs that use low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) have been shown to reduce LC mortality by up to 25 % and are considered cost-effective. The European Health Union has encouraged its Member States to explore the feasibility of LCS implementation in their respective countries. The task force conducted a com...
Prevalence of Lower Back Pain in Portuguese Equestrian Riders
Duarte, Carlota; Santos, R.; Fernandes, Orlando; Raimundo, Armando; Autor correspondente: Santos, R..Lower back pain is prevalent in equestrian athletes, but its prevalence and associated factors are unknown in the Portuguese equestrian population. A questionnaire regarding lower back pain and possible associated factors was answered by 347 respondents. Of the respondents, 214 (61.7%) stated having experienced lower back pain in the past 12 months and therefore completed the Roland Morris disability questionna...
Double-size texturisation and biphasic calcium phosphate coatings obtained via ...
Pereira, L. M.; Santos, R.; Pereira, A. B.; Freitas, N. M.; Mesquita-Guimarães, J.Commercial zirconia dental implants have a well stablished surface treatment to boost osseointegration based on grit-blasting and acid-etching procedures. Nevertheless, research studies aim to use laser surface texturing (LST) as an eco-substitute for commercial procedure. Moreover, LST allows the creation of designed patterns such as aligned grooves, cross-linked and spots. Laser technology also allows the bio...
To Correct or not to Correct (for treatment): Estimating Pre-treatment LDL-C Co...
Stevens, C.A.T.; Elshorbagy, A.; Vallejo-Vaz, A.J.; Dharmayat, K.; Lyons, A.; Bourbon, M.; Chora, J.; Humphries, S.E.; Catapano, A.L.; Hovingh, G.Background and Aims: Pretreatment LDL-C measurements aid familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) diagnosis, and are crucial in epidemiologic studies investigating FH, but are often unavailable because individuals are already on lipid-lowering medication (LLM). Several formulae have been reported to estimate pre-treatment LDL-C in people on LLM by ‘correcting’ their LDL-C concentrations for LLM type and dosage, base...
Linking the in-between: A strategy for the integration of urban interstices in ...
Iannizzotto, L.; Santos, R.The urban layout of Lisbon is closely linked with its ancient routes, shaped by the surrounding geography. Many of these routes still exist today as contemporary streets and serve as fundamental axes of the city. Along these routes, traditional public spaces such as praças, largos, miradouros, jardins or parques, can be found, while neglected areas known as urban interstices lie in between. Despite their abando...
The taxpayer netizen: Understanding fiscal citizenship in the digital era
Santos, R.; Álvares, C.This article analyses the trajectory of the conception of citizenship from the classical tradition to the modern version, in light of fiscal roles in Western liberal States. The discussion reveals how, in the post-War period, taxation has become the key factor of the modern State’s economic platform, changing the perception of citizens’ duties. Such a change goes beyond conventional voting and other forms of po...
Estimulação de movimentos estereotipados de membros acoplados a balão em bebés ...
Serrão-Arrais, Ana; Grilo, P.; Pires, I.; Carvalho, A.; Santos, R.; Catela, DavidOs movimentos estereotipados têm o seu período crítico das 24 às 32 semanas e estão associados ao desenvolvimento motor. Fomos verificar a viabilidade da sua estimulação, em contexto familiar, com balões como objeto contingente. Quatro bebés (114,25±16,82 dias; 2 meninas), vivenciaram acoplamento de balões nas seguintes condições: i) pulso direito; ii) pulso esquerdo; iii) ambos os pulsos; iv) tornozelo direito...
