This study aims to develop a process to calculate the carbon footprint of a company in the textile sector for the automotive industry, thus addressing a research gap identified in this sector. Based on a structured calculation model, the project aspires to innovate by quantifying not only the greenhouse gas emissions at different stages of the company’s operations, including those generated by the consumed elec...
The perturbation of the symbiotic relationship between microbes and intestinal immune system contributes to gut inflammation and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) development. The host mucosa glycans (glycocalyx) creates a major biological interface between gut microorganisms and host immunity that remains ill-defined. Glycans are essential players in IBD immunopathogenesis, even years before disease onset. Howe...

(2023) report that, in their Accent Rating Task, European Portuguese (EP) evaluators of audio snippets of Brazilian immigrants who arrived in Portugal at adult age were less sure of these immigrants’ origins than they were in thei...
Objective: Research on energy-deficient athletic cohorts has broadened the concept of the Female Athlete Triad into the Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport syndrome, that represents a spectrum of abnormalities induced by low energy availability, affecting competing athletes, in particular gymnasts. The present study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status, body composition, including bone mineral density, of r...
Estudos recentes demonstraram associação significativa entre o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados e dados antropométricos, como o índice de massa corporal. O elevado teor de gordura, açúcar, sal e a presença de aditivos e conservantes nestes alimentos, torna-os altamente palatáveis, levando a um consumo excessivo e regular. Objetivos: Avaliar a relação entre o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados com o Índi...
A prática de musculação aparece ligada a benefícios para a saúde e bem-estar, mas também surge associada a queixas de dor musculoesquelética lombar (Scriven et al., 2004), podendo estas ter impacto na participação ocupacional e na qualidade de vida (QdV). A terapia ocupacional, tanto numa perspetiva de prevenção como de intervenção, visa a promoção da participação ocupacional e da qualidade de vida (Gomes et al...
O sono tem um papel fundamental na saúde e no desempenho das atividades de vida diária, tal como o trabalho, e podem ser comprometidos pela dor. A dor lombar inespecífica tem sido referida como uma das maiores justificações para a incapacidade no trabalho.
