O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a diversidade genética e fornecer informações sobre os principais ancestrais e fundadores de um novo criador de cavalos da raça Puro-sangue Lusitano (PSL), que selecionou os animais para a disciplina equestre de saltos de obstáculos. Foram avaliadas 16 éguas da população Lusitano Sport Horses (pLSH) com nascimentos de 2016 a 2021 e compilados os pedigrees utilizados nas análises...
As Listas Vermelhas de Espécies Ameaçadas da União Internacional para a Conservação da Natureza constituem indicadores importantes do estado da biodiversidade, e são amplamente utilizadas para informar e estruturar as atividades de conservação. Estas Listas, publicadas em Livros Vermelhos, resultam de um rigoroso processo de avaliação, baseado num sistema de categorias e critérios de diagnóstico do risco de ext...
O conhecimento das taxas de crescimento mais adequadas a cada raça e tipo de utilização é fundamental para criadores e utilizadores. O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar os padrões de crescimento de cavalos de desporto, nascidos e criados numa coudelaria de referência, em França, utilizando funções não lineares. Para o efeito, 72 poldros (39 machos e 33 fêmeas) das raças Hanoveriana e Oldenburgo fo...
In our experience, university students enrolling in health science and forensic science degrees show difficulty in retaining and integrating basic scientific knowledge learned in their first academic year. Furthermore, in the forensic sciences case, many students have oversimplified and unrealistic expectations as a result of the exposure to crime TV shows, internet blogs, and other social media platforms. Our ...
The so-called Portuguese Parity Law adopted in 2006 determined that candidate lists presented for national, European and local elections must include one third minimum representation of each sex. Following its revision in 2019, the minimum percentage required for each sex increased to 40%. The implementation of the Portuguese Parity Law has succeeded in meeting the direct goals of the policy. However, can the s...

This study makes known the representations of vessels identified in three sectors of the walls of the road that accompanies and delimits the former Fábrica da Pólvora de Barcarena and in a wall located inside it. The location of these representations, almost entirely corresponding to fine line incisions, are associated with the production of gunpowder in the so‑called “Fábrica de Cima”, rebuilt and expanded by ...
Excessive sugar intake represents an increased risk of developing non-communicable diseases (e.g., obesity, cardiometabolic diseases, and dental diseases). Still, it is unclear whether people are aware of these adverse health outcomes. The current study systematically examined the extent to which people associate health conditions with excessive sugar intake. Participants (N = 1010 Portuguese volunteers) freely...
This paper focuses on developing and assessing a non-obtrusive and transformative method, based on virtual reality, to evaluate science communication projects in science centres. The method was tested using deep-sea cutting-edge scientific content. We applied a mixed design, with 72 adult participants randomly assigned to experimental conditions (with/without exhibition exposure). Results showed that the exhibi...
Different forecast scenarios for the 25G-PON and 50G-PON Globally for both ONT/ONU markets are presented based on modeling by a Bi-Logistic function with reference to GPON existing data.
