Efficacy and cost-effectiveness of an ACT and compassion-based intervention for...
Trindade, Inês A.; Soares, Andreia; Skvarc, David; Carreiras, Diogo; Pereira, Joana; Lourenço, Óscar; Sampaio, Filipa; Sousa, Bruno deBreast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women worldwide and carries a considerable psychosocial burden. Interventions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and compassion-based approaches show promise in improving adjustment and quality of life in people with cancer. The Mind programme is an integrative ACT and compassion-based intervention tailored for women with breast cancer, which aims to p...
Spectral markers and machine learning: Revolutionizing Rice evaluation with nea...
Sampaio, Pedro Sousa; Carbas, Bruna; Soares, Andreia; Sousa, Inês; Brites, CarlaThe evaluation of rice varieties is a complex, time-consuming process requiring advanced equipment. This study aimed to discriminate 22 commercial rice varieties from six types by analyzing biochemical, physicochemical, and cooking properties. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, combined with machine learning, linked molecular properties with quality traits, offering a high-throughput solution. Partial Least Squa...

Chemical Profile and Biological Activities of Brassica rapa and Brassica napus ...
Serrano, Carmo; Oliveira, M. Conceição; Lopes, V. Rolim; Soares, Andreia; Molina, Adriana K.; Paschoalinotto, B.H.; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.; Serra, OctávioThis study aimed to analyse the chemical profile and biological activities of 29 accessions of Brassica rapa (turnips) and 9 of Brassica napus (turnips and seeds) collections, maintained ex situ in Portugal. HPLC-HRMS allowed the determination of glucosinolates (GLS) and polyphenolic compounds. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were determined by using relevant assays. The chemical profiles showed th...

Assessment of Agricultural Practices for Controlling Fusarium and Mycotoxins Co...
Simões, Daniela; Carbas, Bruna; Soares, Andreia; Freitas, Andreia; Silva, Ana Sanches; Brites, Carla; Andrade, Eugénia deMaize is a significant crop to the global economy and a key component of food and feed, although grains and whole plants can often be contaminated with mycotoxins resulting in a general exposure of the population and animals. To investigate strategies for mycotoxins control at the grain production level, a pilot study and exploratory research were conducted in 2019 and 2020 to compare levels of mycotoxins in gr...
Encapsulation of sorghum leaf red dye: biological and physicochemical propertie...
Serrano, Carmo; Sapata, Margarida; Oliveira, M. Conceição; Soares, Andreia; Pereira, Carla; Abreu, Rui M.V.; Barros, LillianThe encapsulation of the 3-deoxyanthocyanidins (3-DXA) red dye, extracted from sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) leaves, was explored for food application. The extracts showed antioxidant activity at concentrations ranging from 803 to 1210 μg mL−1 and did not reveal anti-inflammatory or cytotoxic properties, indicating their potential for food application. Encapsulation was performed with two carrier agents (maltode...
Knowledge and practices of technicians about the social participation of adults...
Soares, Andreia; Novo, Rosa; Prada, Ana RaquelThis qualitative and exploratory research aims to explain the conceptions of technicians about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and the concept of social participation, as well as to identify factors facilitating and inhibiting social participation and outline recommendations for the promotion of social participation. A questionnaire and semi-structured interview were used. In this ...
LC-MS profiling and biological evaluation of methanolic extracts from local var...
Serrano, Carmo; Oliveira, M. Conceição; Soares, Andreia; Pereira, Carla; Dias, Maria Inês; Barros, Lillian; Dias, Ana; Lopes, V. Rolim; Barata, Ana M.The Brassica rapa spp. rapa species develops a broad, white root with thin, light green, slightly pubescent leaves. The species is consumed in Asia, Europe and North America for its nutritional benefits with low caloric value due to its low protein and lipid content, and has been used in the preparation of soups and stews. The flavor of root and leaves is slightly bitter and has been related to the degradation ...
Biological and phytochemical evaluation of methanolic extracts from ennyroyal a...
Serrano, Carmo; Barros, Lillian; Soares, Andreia; Pereira, Carla; Dias, Maria Inês; Alves, Maria José; Lopes, Violeta R.; Barata, Ana MariaMedicinal and aromatic plants represent a healthier alternative to synthetic phenolic compounds, with a positive impact on therapeutic, aromatic and dietetic or gastronomic purposes. The in vitro biological activities of the phenolic compounds are an important parameter to select the most promising extracts for use in industrial applications. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant, antibact...
