This paper explores Industrial Tourism (IT) within Portuguese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It aims to identify the main challenges and opportunities of this tourism product and offers suggestions to enhance the sustainability and competitiveness of these organizations. This research seeks to understand the perspective of active industrial enterprises, or the "living industry," and how this type of...
A problemática do vírus da imunodeficiência humana (VIH) e síndrome de imunodeficiência adquirida (SIDA) está geralmente confinada a uma perspetiva biomédica. São poucos os casos de investigação sobre a participação das entidades com peso na intervenção comunitária, como as associações de cariz comunitário que apoiam pessoas que vivem com VIH e SIDA. O estudo apresentado foca-se no projeto português VIHVER, que...
The COVID-19 pandemic has driven immunity acquisition through infection or vaccination, leading to SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. This study introduces a colorimetric biosensor for COVID-19 immunity screening using Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein motifs on a cellulose carrier. The cellulose was chemically modified with DSS to secure the VLPs, verified via FTIR. Detection utilized the Bradford ...
ABSTRACT: The transition to low‐carbon economies demands policies that drive both decarbonization and deep socioeconomic transformation. This paper assesses the “transformative potential” of 3,400 decarbonization policies from Europe, the US, China, and Japan. We define transformative potential considering both policy direction – alignment with sustainability goals, and policy design ‐ presence of mechanisms th...
Os cuidados de saúde devem dar uma resposta adequada às necessidades individuais e familiares, envolvendo a comunidade, promovendo a responsabilidade partilhada, disponibilizando os recursos existentes às necessidades dos cidadãos. As pessoas em situação de dependência, requerem cuidados dos familiares que se tornam seus cuidadores, exigindo um reajustamento familiar e formação específica para o desempenho do p...
This study used the Portuguese version of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) to assess the risk of psychological disturbances associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in two independent samples of the Portuguese population. The psychometric characteristics of the scale were also assessed. Data was collected through an online survey and its internal consistency was examined. The internal consistency of the s...
Este artigo contribui para uma clarificação conceptual e uma compreensão de como a investigação em turismo industrial tem evoluído. Baseia-se numa revisão bibliográfica da investigação científica produzida ao longo dos últimos 25 anos, centrada na sua relação com o desenvolvimento regional. A análise foi baseada em 51 artigos científicos identificados da base de dados Scopus. O crescente interesse por este tema...
Objective: This article explores how to incorporate industrial tourism into active industrial companies, whose main focus is industrial production rather than tourism. In contrast to most of the research on industrial tourism, this article focuses on the point of view of active industrial companies, the so-called "living industry", to identify the impact of this product on industrial companies, as well as strat...
The integration of Microfluidics and Nanozyme peroxidase for the Colorimetric detection of Neurotransmitters represents a cutting-edge approach in neurochemical analysis. Microfluidics allows precise manipulation of small fluid volumes, reducing reagent consumption and accelerating reactions while integrating multiple analytical steps on a single chip. Nanozyme peroxidases, mimicking natural peroxidases, provid...
The challenges experienced in the context of the pandemic have required a significant reconciliation between work and family domains due to confinement and the need to spend more time at home, which may have increased the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, making it necessary to use resilient coping strategies to overcome the difficulties felt. This study examined the effect of resilient coping on the r...
