Introduction: The use of peripheral venous catheters (PVC) is the most common nursing procedure and carries patient risks, including developing phlebitis. A nursing care protocol for PVC was created at the institutional level to standardize nurses' practices. Objective: To analyze the incidence of phlebitis associated with PVC before (Group A) and after (Group B) implementation of the protocol; Characterize phl...
The intensification of aquaculture practices in the last decade can compromise the welfare of farmed fish. However, one strategy to be considered to improve the welfare of captive fish is the implementation of structural enrichment in the rearing environment. The behavioural and physiological effects of suspended ropes inside rearing tanks were experimentally assessed on gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) breede...

Since its discovery in 1955, the understanding of the lysosome has continuously increased. Once considered a mere waste removal system, the lysosome is now recognised as a highly crucial cellular component for signalling and energy metabolism. This notable evolution raises the need for a summarized review of the lysosome’s biology. As such, throughout this article, we will be compiling the current knowledge reg...
"The development of sustainable processes to reduce CO2 levels is an urgent and challenging issue faced by our society. The use of CO2 as a feedstock for the production of added-value products, such as formate, represent a promising tool to mitigate CO2 emissions. This approach provides not only a mechanism to reduce harmful CO2 levels, (...)"

Purpose The incompatibility between the sphere of work and the family is a reality that plagues many workers today. The difficult articulation of these two domains leads to the experience of the phenomenon called work-family conflict (WFC). This paper aims to assess the impact that WFC may have on employee engagement and performance, as well as on their turnover intention. It is also intended to test the mediat...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most studied nanoparticles due to their physical, chemical and electronic properties. However, strong Van der Waals bonds, which promote CNTs aggregation are usually present, affecting their unique properties. Avoiding CNTs aggregation is one of the main difficulties when using these nanoparticles. Regarding the adsorption capacity of CNTs, the tendency of CNTs to aggregat...
