Intraocular tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. We present a case of an immunocompetent male who presented with subacute binocular vision loss. On examination, he had a visual acuity of 6/10 bilaterally and optic disk edema. Initial workup was negative for structural, autoimmune, infectious or toxic etiologies. He was first treated with methylprednisolone, plasma exchan...

The process of transforming an organization to face the new digital challenges, is a complex topic, and several research lines have been studying the different factors that might have a significant impact in delivering it with a higher success rate. We haven´t found yet, a clear success formula, although great progress has been noted over the past years in this field. The transformation of a small or medium ent...
Finding the right strategy enabled by a solid digital transformation is a key challenge that Small and Medium Enterprises face. With a high number of transformations that fail, there is a significant investment in research to identify critical factors that ultimately drive a more successful journey, and at the same time, quite a few different models to assess the digital transformation maturity. There is, howev...
To transform an organization, it isn’t possible to ignore the people aspect and the significant impact of talent development in any transformation process. While in larger organizations, there is often access to more resources that ultimately could bring the needed competencies to successfully run such a complex program, in small or medium enterprises, the resources are more limited and the access to talent mor...
Ao longo deste Relatório da Prática de Ensino Supervisionada é realizada uma descrição e uma reflexão de forma fundamentada das aprendizagens e capacidades adquiridas, das estratégias aplicadas, das tarefas e adaptações realizadas, assim como das dificuldades sentidas. Este é um relevante momento do meu percurso académico por ser a reflexão da maior aprendizagem que vivenciei.
In this letter, a packaged compact meander-line monopole antenna for Bluetooth communications, manufactured in low-density fan-out technology, is presented. A combined size for the antenna and ground plane of 0.1 lambda(0) x 0.06 lambda(0) x 0.008 lambda(0) is obtained. Such small antennas are usually designed considering their connection to an evaluation board with a large ground plane, which improves their ga...

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the environmental impacts deriving from the production of natural cork stoppers in Portugal, in order to identify the most significant stages and processes (hotspots) and to suggest improvement actions and alternative scenarios. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology is used by applying a cradle-to-bottling approach. This approach includes the stages of forest ma...
