Biosynthesis of silver-based nanoparticles: Critical assessment of antimicrobia...

Synthesis and application of nanoparticles (NPs) have shown promising results in various scientific fields due to their differentiating properties. However, current nanoparticle synthesis methods present environmental challenges. In this study biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were produced from microbial culture supernatants as an alternative to traditional routes for controlling biodeteriogenic micr...

A molecular and spectrometric approach for tracing the origin of ancient ivory

The remains recovered from ancient shipwrecks are a unique cultural, historical and archaeological heritage. The Horta Bay shipwreck (site BH-001), located at Faial Island, Azores archipelago, Portugal, was partially excavated between 2008 and 2012 and became of particular interest to scientists due to the quantity and diversity of artefacts recovered, with special emphasis to a vast elephant tusks collection o...

Point-Of-Care-Ultrasound in Internal Medicine: A Paradigm Shift in the Evaluati...

The point of care ultrasound (POCUS) presents itself as the fifth pillar of the physical examination, pairing with inspection, percussion, palpation and auscultation. After the initial usage, in the beginning of the 80’s for the evaluation of abdominal trauma, the POCUS became a daily practice in the critical patient evaluation, either in Critical Care Units or in Emergency Departments, assuming, nowadays, an i...

Palipocus: The Use of POCUS in the Palliative Care Setting

Palliative care is the holistic care of individuals with serious health-related suffering due to severe illness. The improving survival in malignant and non-malignant diseases results in an ageing population who live with advanced chronic diseases that commonly present to acute care settings. With our improved ability to relief symptoms and treat intercurrent complications, imaging can be an important aspect of...

Apoio ao Desenvolvimento das Aprendizagens e ao Desenvolvimento Socioemocional ...

Nos dois últimos anos letivos, a reconfiguração da escola ocorreu rapidamente, o que contribui para atenuar os efeitos decorrentes da pandemia no presente e no futuro das crianças, jovens, famílias, e do país. A intermitência do ensino presencial obrigou ao ajustamento das práticas pedagógicas e dos processos organizativos escolares com consequências ainda não completamente conhecidas, embora investigações já r...

The Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit: A Large Cohort Validat...

Introduction: The Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) is of great potential value in the emergency department (ED). However, there is still uncertainty about its diagnostic accuracy and reliability, with studies warranting larger cohorts. In one of the largest and most heterogeneous cohorts considered to date, the aim was to vali[1]date and explore the applicability of the CAM-ICU (Eur...

De poderes abrir a vida - sobre a casa na poesia de Luiza Neto Jorge e de Danie...

Este artigo apresenta uma leitura do conceito de «casa» nas obras dos poetas Luiza Neto Jorge e Daniel Faria. Para Luiza Neto Jorge, esta casa precisa de abolir a sua imobilidade e a do mundo; o caminho é, pois, o da liberdade. Para Daniel Faria, a casa possibilita o caminho para o céu, o qual permitirá procurar o alto e ver o rosto de Deus

Biodegradability index determination of thermoplastic composites reinforced wit...

The present work intends to study the biodegradability indexes of a thermoplastic composites composed by polylactic acid (PLA) and kraft paper. The produced samples were placed in an aqueous environment under aerobic conditions according to ISO-14851, in order to determine the biodegradability index of the PLA-kraft composites.

Conception and characterization of different properties from a composite thermo...

This works aims to study the influence of relevant hot compressi on moulding parameters on the impregnation of cellulosic fibres by a thermoplastic polymeric m atrix. The mechanical proprieties of Kraft/PMMA composites plates will be determined and used for the compression moulding process window determination. The thermoforming capabilities of the produced composites will be assessed by studying the curvature ...
