Building an online statistics exercise platform: contributions to students' sel...
Cruz, J.; Gomes, J.Statistics is an increasingly important discipline in the laboratory of human knowledge. Along with information systems, this science is one of the basic pillars of the Information and Knowledge Society, which is undergoing rapid development and is seeking ever greater scope in the human domain of social and natural phenomena, in order to prevent and anticipate them. It is therefore a discipline that cuts acros...

Technological features of smartphone apps for physical activity promotion in pa...
Silva, J.; Hipólito, N.; Machado, P.; Flora, S.; Cruz, J.Introduction: Low physical activity (PA) levels have a negative impact on the health status of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Smartphone applications (apps) focused on PA promotion may mitigate this problem; however, their effectiveness depends on patient adherence, which can be influenced by the technological features of the apps. This systematic review identified the technological...
Using GA4 measurements to characterize the use of biostatistics online support ...
Cruz, J.; Freitas, A.An Online Support Documentation has been built, since 2019, for a course of Biostatistics at University of Aveiro. It has been done to better support student study by complementing traditional slide presentations and a book of exercises. This course targets more than 180 students from the first year of the degrees of Biology, Geology and Biology, and Marine Sciences. Last year, 28 students, out of 180, replied ...

Marques, Cátia; Delgado, I.; Cruz, J.; Costa, P.; Portela, G.; Munhoz, Ana; Waap, Helga; Pereira, A.; Ramilo, DavidA trombiculose é uma parasitose causada por ácaros trombiculídeos (Acari: Trombiculidae) que afeta vertebrados, incluindo cães, gatos e o ser humano. É a fase larvar dos ácaros trombiculídeos que se caracteriza por ser parasita obrigatório e responsável pelo aparecimento de sinais clínicos. Estes incluem prurido, várias lesões cutâneas, podendo, em alguns casos, surgir distúrbios gastrointestinais, neurológicos...

Novo, T.; Flora, S.; Lages, M.; Hipólito, N.; Cebola, Marisa; Guarino, M. P.; Cruz, J.This study explored the relationship of dietary patterns with body composition and symptoms in patients with COPD. Data collection included: dietary pattern – n. meals/day; period of the day of highest food intake (morning [6 AM–12 PM], afternoon [12–18 PM], and evening [18 PM–6 AM]); the time interval between meals (3-4h, 5-6h, 9-10h), and daily energy and nutrient intake using a semiquantitative food frequenc...
Obesidade, excesso de peso e sintomas no dia a dia de pessoas com doença pulmon...
Hipólito, N.; Flora, S.; Lages, M.; Novo, T.; Cebola, Marisa; Guarino, M. P.; Cruz, J.Introdução: A prevalência de obesidade na Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crónica (DPOC) apresenta dados inconsistentes entre países, variando entre 18% e 54%. Estudos anteriores mostram que a obesidade influencia negativamente a tolerância ao esforço destes doentes, em testes que exigem sustentação de peso (marcha). Deste modo, seria expectável que o aumento ponderal estivesse relacionado com um agravamento da sint...
