Adapting whilst recovering: Local responses to the 2017 wildfires in Portugal
Soares, Filipa; Schmidt, Luísa; Delicado, AnaIn recent decades, wildfires have become increasingly frequent and destructive worldwide. To tackle them, a shift in wildfire governance has been advocated: from fighting fire towards a ‘coexisting with fire’ strategy that emphasises fostering long-term, community-led transformations to reduce wildfire risk. This topic has received scant attention, particularly in Southern Europe, a region also grappling with l...
Pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes in women with eating disorders: a four-year lo...
Machado, Bárbara César; Gonçalves, Sónia; Duarte, Sofia; Brandão, Isabel; Roma-Torres, António; Soares, FilipaBackground/Objectives: Eating disorders (EDs) often affect fertility, yet many women with ED still become mothers. The pattern of ED symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum, along with their effects on maternal and child health, is not yet fully understood. This longitudinal study aimed to (1) examine the course of ED symptoms from conception to postpartum, (2) evaluate pregnancy outcomes and children’s health...
Fostering humanization in education: A scoping review on mindfulness and teache...
Soares, Filipa; Lopes, Amélia; Serrão, Carla; Ferreira, ElisabeteThe humanization of education is increasingly invoked as a counterpoint to the overly technical and instrumental view of education that has developed in recent decades. In this article, it is intended to contribute to identify ways toward education humanization through teacher education. As the research on humanization of education at the empirical level remains vague, studies on mindfulness in teacher educatio...

Automatic completion of data gaps applied to a system of water pumps
Enguiça, Ricardo; Soares, FilipaWe consider a time series with real data from a water lift station, equipped with three water pumps which are activated and deactivated depending on certain starting and halting thresholds. Given the water level and the number of active pumps, both read every 5 min, we aim to infer when each pump was activated or deactivated. To do so, we build an algorithm that sets a hierarchy of criteria based on the past an...
Bioprospection of the bacterial β-myrcene-biotransforming trait in the rhizosphere
Castro, Pedro Miguel Soares; Soares, Filipa; Reis, Francisca Rodrigues; Lino-Neto, Teresa; Santos, Pedro M.The biocatalysis of β-myrcene into value-added compounds, with enhanced organoleptic/therapeutic properties, may be performed by resorting to specialized enzymatic machinery of β-myrcene-biotransforming bacteria. Few β-myrcene-biotransforming bacteria have been studied, limiting the diversity of genetic modules/catabolic pathways available for biotechnological research. In our model Pseudomonas sp. strain M1, t...

Wildfire mitigation and adaptation: Two locally independent actions supported b...
Canadas, Maria João; Leal, Miguel; Soares, Filipa; Novais, Ana; Ribeiro, Paulo Flores; Schmidt, Luísa; Delicado, Ana; Moreira, FranciscoThere is a broad consensus in the academic and policy communities over the need to shift the focus from fire suppression to fire prevention. To inform policies that effectively promote this shift, we distinguish between prevention actions aimed at more fire-resilient landscapes and those focused on the protection of people, i.e., wildfire mitigation and adaptation (WM&A), respectively. With the goal of discussi...
