Almond By-Products: A Comprehensive Review of Composition, Bioactivities, and I...
Silva, Vânia; Oliveira, Ivo; Pereira, José Alberto; Gonçalves, BertaOne of today’s major environmental and economic challenges is the fight against both agro- and industrial-waste. Almond production and industrial processing exemplifies this issue, as it generates tons of waste and by-products, with hulls and shells accounting for about 70% of the total fruit’s weight while skins represent about 6% of the shelled kernel. Since the edible kernel, about 23% of the total fruit wei...
Almond By-Products Substrates as Sustainable Amendments for Green Bean Cultivation
Silva, Vânia; Oliveira, Ivo; Pereira, J.A.; Gonçalves, BertaAlmond processing generates a high quantity of by-products, presenting the untapped potential for alternative applications and improved sustainability in production. This study aimed to evaluate whether the incorporation of almond by-products (hulls/shells) can improve the biochemical characteristics of green bean pods when used as an alternative to traditional growing media in green bean plants. Four substrate...

Interactive Dichotomous Key for identifying rocks: a proposal to use with high ...
Batista, Adriana; Dias, Rui; Silva, Vânia; Pereira, Eduardo; Gomes, Adelina; Paiva, André; Soares, Alexis; Nascimento, Francisco; Leal Machado, IsabelThe Estremoz Science Center has as main objective the dissemination and scientific literacy of population, with special emphasis on Earth Sciences. Recently, it has developed an unprecedented tool for identifying rocks: a dichotomous key called “What rock is this?” This key is the result of an extensive reflection and conceptualization that had as main goal the application of the concept of dichotomous key to E...
A retrospective study on obstructive sleep apnea
São João, Ricardo; Cardoso, Andreia; Domingues, Tiago Dias; Fradinho, Marta; Silva, Vânia; Feliciano, AméliaObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder with worldwide increasing prevalence. Polysomnography is the traditional gold standard for the diagnosis of OSA, but the fact that it is a complex, time-consuming, and expensive test contributes to the underdiagnosis of this pathology. For this reason, one usually opts for the simpler, less labor-intensive, and cheaper cardiorespiratory sleep t...
Da Tectónica de Placas à Teoria da Evolução; dos supercontinentes à dispersão d...
Dias, Rui; Nascimento, Francisco; Leal Machado, Isabel; Pereira, Eduardo; Paiva, André; Batista, Adriana; Silva, Vânia; Gomes, Adelina; Silva, MárioA evolução do conhecimento do interior do nosso planeta tem levad o a profundas alterações da forma como a dinâmica da Terra é encarad a, evidenciando a existência de ciclo dos supercontinentes. Esta transformação tem permitido uma visão mais integradora, onde os processos tectónicos e de evolução da Vida na Terra surgem como complementares. No entanto, esta nova abordagem ainda não se reflete nos curricula do ...
Remote versus in-office monitoring for implantable cardioverter defibrillators:...
Oliveira, Mário; Fernandes, Milene; Reis, Hipólito; Primo, João; Sanfins, Victor; Silva, Vânia; Cunha, Pedro Silva; Silva, MónicaIntroduction: Remote monitoring (RM) is a safe and effective alternative to in-office conventional follow-up. Objective: We aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction with RM and its impact on healthcare resources in a population with cardiac implantable electronic devices. Methods: Randomized, pragmatic, open-label controlled trial, with adult wearers of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resy...
Análise Automática vs Análise Manual no diagnóstico da síndrome de apneia obstr...
Cardoso, Andreia; Silva, Vânia; Fradinho, Marta; Santos, Laura; São João, Ricardo; Domingues, Tiago Dias; Feliciano, AméliaA Síndrome Apneia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAOS) caracteriza-se por períodos de diminuição ou ausência total do fluxo respiratório resultantes do colapso da via aérea superior durante o sono, que podem estar associados a fragmentação deste e alteração das trocas gasosas. Estas alterações do sono são avaliadas através da realização de exames, polissonografia ou estudo cardiorrespiratório e a sua presença permite faze...
Observational and comparative study between automatic and manual analysis of sl...
São João, Ricardo; Cardoso, Andreia; Domingues, Tiago Dias; Silva, Vânia; Fradinho, Marta; Santos, Laura; Feliciano, AméliaObstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a sleep-disordered breathing disorder. It consists of a set of symptoms and signs that result from recurrent episodes of intermittent upper airway obstruction. It is estimated that this syndrome is very common; however, its true prevalence is unknown, as it is underdiagnosed. OSAS is considered a systemic disease with several associated consequences, including cardiova...
Questões de gênero em Platão e Eurípedes: corpos antigos e gender performativity
Silva, Vânia; Cornelli, GabrieleO presente artigo propõe uma análise de dois textos clássicos da Antiguidade grega, As Bacantes de Eurípedes e a República de Platão, à luz da teoria contemporânea de gender performativity de Judith Butler. O conceito de gender performativity será apropriado para ilustrar analogamente, mesmo que de forma anacrônica, o quanto que o imaginário grego, apesar de temporalmente distante, pode nos apresentar – seja a ...
