Electric mobility in portugal
Ala, Guido; Colak, Ilhami; Di Filippo, Gabriella; Miceli, Rosario; Romano, Pietro; Silva, Carla; Valtchev, Stanimir; Viola, FabioUIDB/50019/2021; In recent years, the growing concern for air quality has led to the development of sustainable vehicles to replace conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Currently, the most widespread technology in Europe and Portugal is that of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) or plug‐in HEV (PHEV) electric cars, but hydrogen‐based transport has also shown significant growth in the commerciali...
Using genomics to understand the origin and dispersion of multidrug and extensi...
Perdigão, João; Gomes, Pedro; Miranda, Anabela; Maltez, Fernando; Machado, Diana; Silva, Carla; Phelan, Jody E.; Brum, Laura; Campino, SusanaPortugal is a low incidence country for tuberculosis (TB) disease. Now figuring among TB low incidence countries, it has since the 1990s reported multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant (XDR) TB cases, driven predominantly by two strain-types: Lisboa3 and Q1. This study describes the largest characterization of the evolutionary trajectory of M/XDR-TB strains in Portugal, spanning a time-period of two...
Destination image perceived by domestic tourists
Seabra, Cláudia; Pereira, Andreia; Silva, Carla; Abrantes, José Luís; Reis, Manuel; Paiva, OdeteUIDB/04084/2020,22209; The first type of tourism was essentially domestic. However, tourist activities have become a major trend lately, particularly in some locations. According to UNWTO (2016), domestic tourism involves an estimated volume of 5 to 6 billion tourists across the whole world. As a result, some destinations consider it imperative to promote and develop domestic tourism, since it represents an imp...
CPLP-TB:
Perdigão, João; Silva, Carla; Diniz, Jaciara; Pereira, Catarina; Machado, Diana; Ramos, Jorge; Silva, Hugo; Abilleira , Fernanda; Brum, ClariceA Tuberculose (TB) permanece um grave problema de saúde pública na Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP). Apesar da ampla variância da incidência da TB nos seus estados-membro e de um fluxo migratório contínuo entre os países que integram este grupo, existe uma enorme lacuna no que diz respeito ao conhecimento da estrutura populacional conjunta do Mycobacterium tuberculosis e circulação de estirpes ...

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis genomic diversity and evolution in Lisbon...
Perdigão, João; Silva, Hugo; Machado, Diana; Macedo, Rita; Maltez, Fernando; Silva, Carla; Jordao, Luisa; Couto, Isabel; Mallard, Kim; Coll, FrancescBACKGROUND: Multidrug- (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB) presents a challenge to disease control and elimination goals. In Lisbon, Portugal, specific and successful XDR-TB strains have been found in circulation for almost two decades. RESULTS: In the present study we have genotyped and sequenced the genomes of 56 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates recovered mostly from Lisbon. The ge...
