Neurological lesions in cervids: a study in Portugal
Pires, Maria A.; Macêdo, J.; Seixas, Fernanda; Gama, Adelina; Alves, Anabela; Pinto, Maria de Lurdes; Pires, Isabel; Matos, Ana Cristina; Figueira, LuisBrain samples were collected within the project "CWD Risk in Portugal", profiOng the infecOous diseases epidemiological surveillance and screening of chronic wasOng disease (CWD) during cervids hunts. The literature on wild animals´ neuropathological lesions is scarse. This work aims to describe the neuropathological findings in samples collected in deer hunted in Portugal.
Simulation pulled by the need to reduce wastes and human effort in an intralogi...
Afonso, Tiago; Alves, Anabela; Carneiro, P.; Vieira, AntónioLean Thinking is a well-known management philosophy that increases productivity and reduces cost by eliminating waste. To achieve this, it uses all suitable available tools. Simulation has been widely used to design and/or diagnose production systems and to propose effective better alternatives. In addition, Ergonomics approaches have also been applied to improve work conditions. The project described in this a...

Alves, Anabela; Diniz, Carla; Dornellas, Maria; Machado, Isabel; Nunes, Vera; Silva, MartaNeste documento apresenta-se o trabalho realizado pela Rede de Bibliotecas Municipais de Oeiras (RBMO) no âmbito do programa Oeiras Educa Mais (OE+). O OE+ tem como objetivo ligar o ensino formal com a oferta educativa não-formal existente no concelho de Oeiras, criando mecanismos facilitadores para o efeito: um Portal on-line e um serviço de transportes dedicado. O OE pretende cobrir preferencialmente todas as...

Pereira, Jorge C.; Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Orge, Leonor; Pires, Maria dos Anjos; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana Cristina; Silva, JoãoAmong the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is now a rising concern in wildlife within Europe, after the detection of the first case in Norway in 2016, in a wild reindeer and until June 2022 a total of 34 cases were described in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The definite diagnosis is post-mortem, performed in target areas of the brain and lymph nodes. Sampl...
Comportamento em crianças do 1.º ciclo: relação com o processamento sensorial e...
Alves, AnabelaIntrodução: As alterações do comportamento podem estar associadas tanto com disfunções do processamento sensorial, como com o tempo de exposição a ecrãs. Objetivo: Verificar se o processamento sensorial e o tempo de exposição a ecrãs em crianças em idade escolar do 1.º ciclo influenciam os seus comportamentos. Método: Utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico, a Medida do Processamento Sensorial e o Question...

Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana Cristina; Silva, JoãoTransmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) or prion diseases are a family of neurodegenerative diseases caused by lethal infectious pathogens called Prions. Among the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is now the rising concern in wildlife within Europe, after the first case was detected in Norway in 2016, in a wild reindeer and until October 2021, a to...

Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Saianda, Mafalda; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana CristinaAmong the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in cervids is now the rising concern in wildlife within Europe after the first case detected in Norway in 2016. CWD shows a notable horizontal transmission, affecting both free-ranging and captive cervids. Furthermore, several genetic variants in the Prion Protein (PRNP) gene coding sequence of the cervid were identified, which i...

Pereira, Jorge C.; Machado, Ana; Saianda, Mafalda; Gonçalves-Anjo, Nuno; Bastos, Estela; Orge, Leonor; Rocha, Sara; Figueira, Luís; Matos, Ana CristinaThe chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is now a rising concern in wildlife within Europe, since the first case detected in Norway in 2016, 40 more appear until May of 2022, in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The unclear origin of these new European cases and the risk that CWD poses to cohabiting ani-mals or more importantly to humans is largely unknown, is very important for the establishment of risk assessme...
