Fish sounds are a significant component of marine soundscapes. Recently, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) arose as a promising tool for ecological monitoring, but a good characterization of fish acoustic communities is still needed. This study is the first to characterize the fish acoustic community at a biogeographic transition zone in the Northeast Atlantic. The research was conducted in a marine protected a...
Accurate collection of biometric data is important for understanding the biology and conservation of marine organisms, including elasmobranch and teleost fish, both in nature and controlled environments where monitoring marine specimens' health is mandatory. Traditional methods involving specimen capture and handling are invasive, stressful, and disruptive. Some techniques like underwater visual census or laser...
This article describes the work carried out with the objective of analyzing and improving the maintenance activity in the molding process of a company in the cork sector. Regarding the research design, an analysis of the production and maintenance process was carried out, which allowed an initial diagnosis with the identification of existing problems and the calculation of main maintenance Key Performance Indic...
There is growing evidence that studying aquatic acoustic communities can provide ecologically relevant information. Understanding these communities may offer unique insights into species behaviour and ecology, while consolidating passive acoustic monitoring as a tool for mapping the presence of target species or estimating changes in aquatic biodiversity. Fish can be significant soundscape contributors, but mos...
Currently, composite resins have become the material of choice for the restoration of posterior teeth. Although bulk-fill resins represent a tempting alternative due to their lower complexity and faster use, some dentists are reluctant to use this material. The objective is to compare the performance of bulk-fill resins and conventional resins in direct restorations of posterior teeth based on the literature. T...
Temperature is a determinant cue for several behavioral, physiological, and metabolic processes in fish, which occur within a range set to optimize species fitness. Understanding how ocean warming will impact species, at individual and population levels, is, therefore, of utmost relevance for management and conservation purposes. This knowledge assumes particular relevance when it comes to species with unique l...
The establishment of high-throughput sequencing technologies and subsequent large-scale genomic datasets has flourished across fields of fundamental biological sciences. The introduction of genomic resources in fisheries management has been proposed from multiple angles, ranging from an accurate re-definition of geographical limitations of stocks and connectivity, identification of fine-scale stock structure li...
Atualmente, existem vários sistemas de distribuição de medicamentos em contexto de Farmácia Hospitalar, tais como: Clássica/Tradicional, Individual Diária, Individual Diária em Dose Unitária (SDIDDU), Reposição de Stocks Nivelados e Circuitos Especiais, cujos objetivos são aumentar a segurança do doente, diminuir erros de distribuição e administração, envolver ativamente os profissionais de farmácia na prestaçã...
Este relatório é o término de dois anos do curso técnico superior profissional (TeSP) de “Manutenção e Reparação Automóvel” e no mesmo irei abordar as tarefas realizadas durante o estágio curricular, com duração de 750 horas, efetuado na Elpídio & Horácio. Durante este período tive a oportunidade de observar e realizar diversos procedimentos, tais como: manutenção, diagnóstico e reparações em automóveis, tendo ...
A presente época desportiva caracterizou-se pela interrupção compulsiva do treino ocasionada pelas medidas governamentais de combate à COVID-19, pelo que se presumiu improvável a esperada evolução do rendimento. Com um planeamento bem estruturado e adaptado a nadadores masters (n= 4), suportado na avaliação da velocidade crítica (utilizando repetições máximas de 200 e 800 m crol), foi possível superar o destrei...
