End-of-life management strategies of pharmaceuticals in Portuguese households

The end of life of pharmaceutical products through environmentally unsafe routes is a growing concern in our society. However, the studies reported so far, apart from being limited in number, do not reflect the current management practices for the end-of-life management of pharmaceuticals. Published work lacks an in-depth analysis in focusing on the pharmaceutical waste in households. The present work focused o...

Characterization and Genomic Analysis of a New Phage Infecting Helicobacter pylori

This article belongs to the Special Issue Helicobacter: Infection, Diagnosis and Treatment 2.0.; Helicobacter pylori, a significant human gastric pathogen, has been demonstrating increased antibiotic resistance, causing difficulties in infection treatment. It is therefore important to develop alternatives or complementary approaches to antibiotics to tackle H. pylori infections, and (bacterio) phages have prove...

Helicobacter pylori infection: from standard to alternative treatment strategies

Helicobacter pylori is the major component of the gastric microbiome of infected individuals and one of the aetiological factors of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The increasing resistance to antibiotics worldwide has made the treatment of H. pylori infection a challenge. As a way to overhaul the efficacy of currently used H. pylori antibiotic-based eradication therapies, alternativ...

University Student Engagement Inventory: Preliminary validation and reliability...

The University Student Engagement Inventory evaluates the academic involvement in the behavioral, cognitive and emotional dimensions. This study involves 249 students and aims to contribute to validation of this Inventory in students that entered Higher Education (HE) through the Over 23 years old process. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a tri-factorial structure. The absence of discriminant validity be...

Functionalization of single-layer graphene for immunoassays

The excellent electronic properties of single-layer graphene provide the fundamental basis for its use in advanced electronics applications. Graphene-based biosensors, however, are one of the exceptions among the applications that take advantage of the unique properties of this material, because high hydrophobicity of graphene hinders the controlled immobilization of biomolecular probes, particularly of antibod...

Autoeficácia formativa e envolvimento nos processos de aprendizagem de estudant...

A aprovação do regime de acesso ao Ensino Superior pela via dos “maiores de 23” constitui um dos principais desafios com que se deparam as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) portuguesas, que se traduz na necessidade de construção de respostas educativas tendo em conta a heterogeneidade do seu público. O estudo exploratório aqui apresentado tem por objetivo retratar a autoperceção destes estudantes acerca da ...
