Formação de cuidadores de Alzheimer: o papel das tecnologias digitais

Neste artigo procuramos compreender o contributo das tecnologias digitais para o exercício da profissão dos cuidadores formais de pacientes com Doença de Alzheimer. Para concretizar este estudo, foi formulado um conjunto de proposições de investigação: (i) Os cuidadores formais utilizam as tecnologias digitais no desempenho das suas competências profissionais; (ii) As tecnologias digitais são um instrumento imp...

Screening and in silico characterization of prophages in Helicobacter pylori cl...

The increase of antibiotic resistance calls for alternatives to control Helicobacter pylori, a Gram-negative bacterium associated with various gastric diseases. Bacteriophages (phages) can be highly effective in the treatment of pathogenic bacteria. Here, we developed a method to identify prophages in H. pylori genomes aiming at their future use in therapy. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based technique test...

Comparative analysis of hybrid-SNP microarray and nanopore sequencing for detec...

Funding Information: This work is a result of the GenomePT project (POCI-01\u20130145-FEDER-022184), supported by COMPETE 2020\u2014Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalization (POCI), Lisboa Portugal Regional Operational Programme (Lisboa2020), Algarve Portugal Regional Operational Programme (CRESC Algarve2020), under the PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement, through the European Regional ...

Comparative analysis of hybrid‑SNP microarray and nanopore sequencing for detec...

Background: Nanopore sequencing is a technology that holds great promise for identifying all types of human genome variations, particularly structural variations. In this work, we used nanopore sequencing technology to sequence 2 human cell lines at low depth of coverage to call copy number variations (CNV), and compared the results variant by variant with chromosomal microarray (CMA) results. Results: We analy...

IMPORTING CORK FOR INSULATION INTO MONTANA MANUFACTURING: PORTUGAL INTERNATIONA...

This work aims to contribute to internationalization of "Amorim Cork Composites" and improve the quality of life in Montana through better thermal and sound insulation. The project involves collaboration between the Polytechnic Institute of Gaia and the University of Montana, focusing on research and practical implementation. It consists of three parts: the project's scope, including literature review and metho...

MultiWOZ-PT: A Task-oriented Dialogue Dataset in Portuguese

Despite the language widespread usage, publicly available and annotated Portuguese dialogue corpora are scarce. This poses a significant challenge in the development of effective dialogue systems that communicate in Portuguese. Having this in mind, we present MultiWOZ-PT, a new task-oriented dialogue dataset that results from the manual translation of dialogues in the MultiWOZ dataset to the European variety of...

Marie Curie – Uma mulher da Ciência

Marie Curie dedicou a sua vida à ciência numa época em que o mundo da ciência era essencialmente constituído por homens! Nasceu na Polónia em 1867, altura em que, por ser mulher, não lhe era permitido frequentar a universidade. Decidiu então ir estudar para França. Foi a primeira mulher a ganhar um prémio Nobel e a única pessoa até hoje a ganhar prémios Nobel em duas áreas distintas: na física e na química.

Improving health outcomes through treatment sequencing optimization in multiple...

Objectives: Patients with multiple myeloma often require multiple treatment lines. The order in which treatments are sequenced has impact on clinical outcomes. This study aimed to estimate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with common treatment sequences used in Portugal and the incremental benefit of an optimal sequence in transplant-ineligible patients with multiple myeloma. Methods: A...
