Identificação de substâncias estranhas em plantas medicinais secas comercializa...

Enquadramento: O uso de plantas aromáticas e medicinais (PAM) tem vindo a aumentar, por estarem associadas a propriedades terapêuticas e serem consideradas mais seguras que a medicina convencional [1]. Assim, surge a necessidade de garantir a qualidade das PAM comercializadas, através da identificação dos fármacos, da sua pureza e atividade terapêutica, para assegurar a segurança do consumidor [2,3]. A determin...

Analysis of the carbon footprint of a textile company for the automotive industry

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...

Alterations in mucosa branched N-glycans lead to dysbiosis and downregulation o...

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...

"But are you Portuguese or Brazilian?" Individual factors and phonological infl...

In a context of contact between dialects, it will not be strictly necessary, at first, the acquisition of the other variety for communication to be successful; even so, Kupisch et al. (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...

Gender Dysphoria: Concepts, Diagnosis and Clinical Management

Gender dysphoria is defined as a condition characterized by mental suffering associated with the incongruence between one’s experienced gender and their birth-assigned sex. Gender as a construct and gender dysphoria as a condition in need of multidisciplinary intervention have developed as swiftly as their visibility in society, making it mandatory to promote the literacy and education of all healthcare profess...

Finefix® fixation in histopathological samples with macroscopic, histochemistry...

Fixation aims to preserve biological tissues and their components against natural degradation providing them with the necessary robustness to withstand further processing. The most used fixative is 10% natural buffered formalin (NBF), which offers some advantages over other solutions. However, it is considered a mutagenic and carcinogenic agent by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). To reduc...

A racionalidade do (neuro) marketing: estratégias direcionadas para o consumidor

Esta dissertação de mestrado propõe estabelecer uma ligação direta entre o trinómio neuromarketing, consumidor e estratégias das empresas, visto que, não logrei encontrar outro trabalho que os relacione. Assim, é crucial entender o que é o neuromarketing, conhecer a sua origem e a sua evolução até à atualidade, assim como as técnicas e os métodos utilizados nas suas pesquisas, para melhor compreender o comporta...

Consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados: Relação com o índice de massa corporal d...

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...

Milk Antiviral Proteins and Derived Peptides against Zoonoses

Milk is renowned for its nutritional richness but also serves as a remarkable reservoir of bioactive compounds, particularly milk proteins and their derived peptides. Recent studies have showcased several robust antiviral activities of these proteins, evidencing promising potential within zoonotic viral diseases. While several publications focus on milk’s bioactivities, antiviral peptides remain largely neglect...
