Circular economy using waste from different industries in leather retainning
Alves, C.; Silva, V.F.; Crispim, Alfredo; Almeida, A.; Pinto, G.; Gaião, J.; Sousa, N.; Duarte, J.A circular economy is based on an economy that in principle, moves away from the accelerated model of consumption and disposal. Thus, the flow associated with the product, instead of being translated by a straight line, is now regarded as a circle or cycle. The leather manufacturing applies several physical and chemical treatments in different stages to transform the skin into leather. The pulp and paper indust...

Sousa, N.; Fernandes, Helena Assunção Lopes Magalhães; Medeiros, C.; Diogo, F.; Fontinha, F.; Oliva-Teles, A.; Belo, Isabel; Salgado, José ManuelAquaculture is the only way to satisfy the growing global demand for seafood without depleting natural fisheries resources. Disease outbreaks are major threats to aquaculture production. The use of antibiotics or chemotherapeutics has been a common practice to combat infectious diseases that threaten production and induce high economic losses. This practice promotes high environmental harmful impacts and risks ...

COPD as a COVID-19 risk group: is genetic background the reason?
Marçalo, R.; Neto, S.; Pinheiro, M.; Rodrigues, A. J.; Sousa, N.; Santos, M. A. S.; Simão, P.; Valente, C.; Andrade, L.; Marques, A.; Moura, G. R.People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) constitute one of COVID-19 risk groups for poor prognosis upon infection. Variability in predisposition and clinical response to COVID-19 exist but our understanding of these factors in the COPD population is limited. This study explored the genetic background as a possible answer to COVID-19 infection response heterogeneity, either for the poor prognosis...
Deciphering COPD as a risk group for COVID-19: can we blame genetics?
Marçalo, R.; Neto, S.; Pinheiro, M.; Rodrigues, A. J.; Sousa, N.; Santos, M. A. S.; Simão, P.; Valente, C.; Andrade, L.; Marques, A.; Moura, G. R.People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) constitute one of COVID-19 risk groups. Variability in predisposition and clinical response to COVID-19 exist but our understanding of these factors in the COPD population is limited. This study explored the genetic background as a possible answer to COVID-19 infection response heterogeneity, either for the poor prognosis in people with COPD or across wor...

Castanho, T. C.; Santos, N. C.; Meleiro-Neves, C.; Neto, S.; Moura, G. R.; Santos, M.; Cruz, A.R.; Cunha, O.; Castro Rodrigues, A.; Rodrigues, A. J.Objectives: Life events have important effects on psychological well-being. Yet, studies have mainly focused on exploring the impact of traumatic and negative experiences on health and well-being, with positive events receiving marginal attention. In this study, we investigated the association between negative and positive life events, cognitive performance and psychological status in older individuals. Method:...
Ergonomic intervention on a packing workstation with robotic aid-case study at ...
Colim, Ana S.; Sousa, N.; Carneiro, P.; Costa, Nélson Bruno Martins Marques da; Arezes, P.; Cardoso, João André VieiraBACKGROUND: Several risk factors among packing lines workers can lead to Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSD) occurrence. Foreseeing WRMSD prevention and productivity increase, some furniture manufacturing industries have been investing in the adoption of robotic solutions. In this field, ergonomics plays an important role to verify if automation implementation has been successful. OBJECTIVE: This stu...

Gouveia, E.; Coelho, V.; Sousa, N.; Coutinho, S.; Nunes, L.; Monteiro, Maria LoretoO ciclo biológico de Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands e P. cambivora (Petri) Buisman espécies associadas com a Doença da Tinta do Castanheiro, ocorre integralmente no ambiente solo. A presença de qualquer uma destas espécies parasitas inviabiliza as novas plantações de castanheiro e coloca sérios problemas à manutenção dos soutos já instalados. Para garantir a ausência de propágulos dos parasitas no material de mul...
WNT6 is a novel oncogenic prognostic biomarker in human glioblastoma
Gonçalves, C.; Vieira de Castro, J.; Pojo, M.; Martins, E.; Queirós, S.; Chautard, E.; Taipa, Ricardo; Pires, M.; Pinto, A.; Pardal, F.; Custódia, C.Glioblastoma (GBM) is a universally fatal brain cancer, for which novel therapies targeting specific underlying oncogenic events are urgently needed. While the WNT pathway has been shown to be frequently activated in GBM, constituting a potential therapeutic target, the relevance of WNT6, an activator of this pathway, remains unknown. Methods: WNT6 protein and mRNA levels were evaluated in GBM. WNT6 levels were...
