This study examines the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of pre-service primary teachers enrolled in a two-year master's program in Primary Education (1st to 6th grades) with a specialization in Mathematics and Sciences. The primary objective is to investigate changes in their PCK regarding interdisciplinarity in science and mathematics following participation in a lesson study. This paper corresponds to an ...
Background: Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic fungus, ubiquitous in the environment and responsible for causing infections, some of them severe invasive infections. The high morbidity and mortality, together with the increasing burden of triazole-resistant isolates and the emergence of new risk groups, namely COVID-19 patients, have raised a crescent awareness of the need to better comprehend the dynamics ...
Em Educação em Ciências e em Educação Ambiental, as estratégias centradas no/a estudante e no ambiente são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento da literacia científica e de competências para a sustentabilidade. São exemplos das referidas estratégias a Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas, a Aprendizagem Situada, a Aprendizagem Baseada no Local, as Aprendizagens Autênticas e as Aprendizagens Experienciais e pela Des...

Invasive fungal infections (IFI) have significantly increased over the past years due to advances in medical care for the at-risk immunocompromised population. IFI are often difficult to diagnose and manage, and can be associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. This study aims to contribute to understanding the etiology of invasive and subcutaneous fungal infections, their associated risk factors, and...
As plantas são objeto de estudo ao longo de toda a escolaridade, mas o interesse e o conhecimento dos estudantes em geral, e das crianças em particular, está mais cen- trado nos animais. No entanto, as plantas desempenham um papel fundamental no equilíbrio da biosfera e também a nível social e económico. A partir de uma parceria entre a Biblioteca Municipal de Setúbal e o Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal, para ...
Aspergillus fumigatus is an environmental fungus responsible for causing severe invasive infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals. In 2020, during SARS-CoV-2 pandemics, a high number of cases of pulmonary aspergillosis was detected in COVID-19 patients, leading to the definition of CAPA (COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis). Patients with CAPA harbor many baseline prognostic factors with ...
Objectives: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common monogenetic autosomal reces sive disease in the human population. An important fungal biota has been described in respiratory secretions of patients suffering from CF being Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans the most common fungi found. We report the isolation, for the first time in Portugal, of the emerging fungal pathogen Rasamsonia argillacea specie...
Identification of Aspergillus to species level is important since sibling species may display variable susceptibilities to multiple antifungal drugs and also because correct identification contributes to improving the knowledge of epidemiological studies. Two retrospective laboratory studies were conducted on Aspergillus surveillance at the Portuguese National Mycology Reference Laboratory. The first, covering ...
