Fighting occupational risks among Portuguese wildland firefighters: looking at ...
Esteves, F.; Slezakova, K.; Madureira, J.; Vaz, J.; Fernandes, A.; Carmo, M.; Morais, S.; Teixeira, J. P.; Costa, S.Background: Evidence linking wildland firefighters’ occupational exposure and health outcomes is still limited. Cytogenetic endpoints have long been applied in the surveillance of human genotoxic exposures and early effects of genotoxic carcinogens. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to clarify the exposure-induced cytogenetic effects concerning wildland firefighters’ occupational exposure at different time ...
Urinary biomonitoring in firefighters: baseline data of polycyclic aromatic hyd...
Barros, B.; Oliveira, M.; Paiva, M.; Fernandes, A.; Alves, S.; Vaz, J.; Esteves, F.; Slezakova, K.; Alves, M.J.; Madureira, J.; Pereira, M.C.Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most relevant pollutants in the firefighting context and urine the most straightforward and interesting matrix for biomonitoring. Recent studies have found elevated levels of PAH metabolites in firefighters in comparison to the general population. Since Portuguese firefighters are poorly characterized, the aim of this study was to determine the baseline data...
Occupational Exposure of Firefighters in Non-fire Settings
Slezakova, K.; Esteves, F.; Vaz, J.; Alves, M.J.; Madureira, J.; Costa, S.; Fernandes, A.; Teixeira, João Paulo; Morais, S.; Pereira, M.C.Freshwater pollution is a huge concern. A study aiming to evaluate physico-chemical characteristics, microbiota, occurrence of two groups of persistent environmental pollutants with similar chemical properties (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons- PAHs and microplastics - MPs) in Alqueva's surface water was performed during 2021.
Farmácia Caseira - um projeto pedagógico na promoção da literacia em saúde
Azevedo, A.; Pereira, M.; Dias, A.; Santos, D.; Monteiro, H.; Fonseca, I.; Silva, I.; Vaz, J.; Vilas Boas, M.; Morais, R.; Pereira, D.; Cruz, AgostinhoEm Portugal uma em cada duas pessoas apresenta níveis de literacia em saúde insuficientes. Tendo consciência desta situação a Direção Geral de Saúde lançou, em 2019, um Plano de ação, tendente a minimizar este problema, ao que se seguiu o lançamento de um Manual de Boas Práticas destinado à capacitação dos profissionais de saúde. A Escola Superior de Saúde do Instituto Politécnico do Porto forma um leque divers...
Benefits of introducing door-to-door separate collection in rural areas
Vaz, J.; Sousa, V.; Ferreira, CéliaThere is a pre-conception that in rural isolated areas, the production of recyclable waste is reduced and door-to-door collection schemes are not worth setting-up. This work describes the implementation of a pilot test for door-to-door collection of dry recyclable waste at a small rural site. It aims at improving the knowledge about the waste generated in rural areas and the impact on source segregation habits ...
A avaliação formativa na promoção da aprendizagem do conceito de probabilidade ...
Dias, Cristina; Carlos, Hermelinda; Varadinov, Maria; Vaz, J.; Santos, CarlaAs dificuldades associadas ao conceito de probabilidade estão amplamente descritas na literatura, assim como a constatação de que essas dificuldades são transversais a todos os níveis de ensino, do básico até ao superior. Nas unidades curriculares que leccionamos, é frequente depararmo-nos com alunos cuja capacidade de raciocínio abstracto e intuição probabilística não lhes permite resolver com sucesso os probl...
A comparison of production control systems in a flexible flow shop
Silva, Cristóvão; Reis, V.; Morais, A.; Brilenkov, I.; Vaz, J.; Pinheiro, T.; Neves, M.; Henriques, M.; Varela, Leonilde; Pereira, G.Production control in make-to-order must address the companies’ need for short delivery times and on-time deliveries. Several production control systems may be used to meet these needs. This paper presents a simulation study to evaluate the delivery performance of the TKS, GKS and POLCA production control systems, in the context of a make-to-order flexible flow shop. Since TKS is used for make-to-stock manufact...

Short-term temporal fluctuation of very-nearshore larval fish assemblages at th...
Borges, Rita Alexandra; Vaz, J.; Serrão, Ester A.; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoUnderstanding processes affecting fish recruitment and population connectivity is of major importance to the management of Marine Protected Areas. Fluctuations in recruitment of coastal fishes can be affected by processes occurring during the early life stages such as the dispersal and availability of larvae. In nearshore temperate environments, there is a lack of knowledge about the patterns of larval supply o...
