The impact of technology on the development of children and adolescents
Silva, HugoTechnologies have brought significant advances and provided great opportunities for all of us, but they have also generated major complications, especially for children and adolescents. Excessive screen use harms cognitive, social, and emotional development, and can affect young people's self-esteem and identity through social media, for example. Screen dependency can result in problems such as gaming addiction...
BRIDGING HIGHER AND BASIC EDUCATION: AN (INTER)ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH TO HAND...
Karpyuk, António; Garcia, Bruna; Santos, Diana; Silva, Hugo; Amorim, Manuela; Lamas, Maria Céu; Mota, Sandra; Ferreira, StephanieWithin the scope of the undergraduate program in Biomedical Laboratory Sciences (from E2S, P. Porto), and in line with their future roles as healthcare professionals, it is essential to promote educational experiences that integrate technical-scientific knowledge with communication skills. The activity "Bridging Higher and Basic Education: (Inter)Active Learning on Hand Hygiene", designed and led by higher educ...
Pontes entre Ensino Superior e Ensino Básico: Aprendizagem (Inter)Ativa sobre h...
Karpyuk, António; Garcia, Bruna; Santos, Diana; Silva, Hugo; Lamas, Maria Céu; Ferreira, Stephanie; Mota, Sandra; Amorim, Maria ManuelaNo âmbito da formação dos estudantes da licenciatura Ciências Biomédicas Laboratoriais (E2S, P. Porto), enquanto futuros profissionais de saúde, é fundamental promover experiências pedagógicas que coligem o conhecimento técnico-científico à capacidade de comunicação. A atividade sobre Higiene das Mãos foi concebida e dinamizada por 4 estudantes do ensino superior (ES) para 30 crianças do Ensino Básico (3º e 4º ...
The peak match speed of soccer players: a 20 second analysis
Silva, Hugo; Nakamura, Fábio Yuzo; Racil, Ghazi; Gómez-Diaz, Antonio; Menezes, Pedro; Chamari, Karim; Marcelino, RuiTo assess peak speeds, usually assess players capacity to quickly accelerate and achieve/maintain a maximal speed in 30 m distance (Altmann et al., 2019). During these tests, players often start from stationary positions, reacting to a sound signal (Haff & Triplett, 2016). However, one may question these test procedures since peak speeds achieved during tests generally exceed peak speeds registered during match...
Virtual and augmented reality: past, present, and future
Silva, Hugo; Santos, André S.; Varela, M.L.R.; Trojanowska, Justyna; Ivanov, VitaliiAugmented and Virtual Reality are two intertwined concepts. These are distortions of the reality humans live in, either partially, for the first case, or creating a totally virtual environment. Both are related to the fourth industrial revolution. Although these are topics that were born during the past century, they have gained increasing relevance in the last decades. This paper performs a systematic literatu...
A racing approach: The evolution of racing techniques, a systematic literature ...
Silva, Hugo; Santos, André S.; Varela, M.L.R.; Diering, Magdalena; Berladir, KhrystynaSelecting the right values for an algorithm’s parameters usually is a difficult, critical, and time-intensive endeavor. Though parameters can be traditionally adjusted in an empirical way, recent research indicates that automated tuning methods can frequently identify superior parameter configurations. In this sense, Racing Techniques emerge as a method of tuning hyperparameters and finding the best configurati...
Reducing energy consumption using DOE and SPC on cork agglomeration line
Silva, Hugo; Santos, André S.; Varela, M.L.R.The industrial landscape has revealed two trends: increased competitiveness and a greater demand for sustainable solutions. Materials with cork in their composition are an appealing solution, since they guarantee the desired mechanical characteristics while contributing to the prevention of environmental degradation. Given the change in external factors, there has been a substantial rise in energy costs. Thus, ...
Radiação solar global em Portugal e a sua variabilidade mensal e anual
Cavaco, Afonso; Silva, Hugo; Canhoto, Paulo; Neves, Samuel; Neto, Jorge; Collares-Pereira, ManuelConhecer a disponibilidade solar é essencial para analisar a viabilidade dos projetos de produção de energia solar. Para responder a essa necessidade, o Instituto Português de Energia Solar, o Instituto de Ciências da Terra da Universidade de Évora e o Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera uniram-se num estudo de grande relevância para o setor que é apresentado em primeira mão na “renováveis magazine”.
Potensaphelenchus stammeri (Körner, 1954) Gu, Liu, Abolafia & Pedram, 2021 (Nem...
Silva, Hugo; Cardoso, Joana M. S.; Costa, Ricardo M. F. da; Abrantes, Isabel; Fonseca, LuísIn a survey for Burspahelenchus species in a declining centennial stone pine, Pinus pinea, in Portugal, few specimens of Potensaphelenchus stammeri were extracted from wood samples, and an isolate was established in fungus cultures. The Portuguese P. stammeri isolate was characterised and identified based on morphological and morphometric diagnostic characters of females and males and by sequencing the D2-D3 ex...
Cancel Culture and 'Political Correctness' when communicating
Silva, HugoCancel Culture has been a controversial topic in recent years, and one of the biggest questions that arises is whether this trend is truly beneficial to society. With the rise of "political correctness", the way we express our opinions has also been affected, raising questions about how honest and authentic we can be without offending or harming others. In this article, I will explore the pros and cons of Cance...
