Digital technology has produced deep changes in the business world. However, companies have a hard time understanding consumers’ changing needs and new consumption patterns, especially small and medium-sized enterprises that currently face growing challenges in an era characterized by a lack of time and information overload. New mechanisms must be found that not only can keep businesses competitive in digital e...
Mucolipidosis type II (ML II) is a Lysosomal Storage Disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase. This enzyme is responsible for the addition of the mannose-6-phosphate marker to lysosomal enzymes allowing their targeting to lysosomes. From the several ML II mutations, the deletion of two nucleotides from GNPTAB exon 19 (c.3503_3504del) is the most frequent, making it a good targ...
Recent advancements in nonlinear methodologies have allowed deeper analysis of motor control during development. This study aimed to analyse the evolution of the fine motor skills in children aged 6 to 9 years old through the Lypaunov Exponent (LyE). It was asked to 60 children (M=8,141±1,064 years) to perform the finger taping test, 6 trials in each hand, starting with their preferred one. An inertial sensor w...
During the development process, the nervous system is constantly changing (1). The application of non-linear measures such as entropy has allowed a deeper analysis of motor control (3). The Finger Tapping Test (FTT) is usually used to assess fine motor skills, and in this study we intend to use this test to analyze entropy levels and assess the development of fine motor control in children. Sixty children (M=8....
A motricidade fina pode ser caracterizada como uma componente fundamental para a execução de diversas atividades importantes para a autonomia da criança, no seu dia-a-dia. O teste de batidas do dedo é usualmente utilizado para avaliar a motricidade fina ou destreza manual. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o desenvolvimento e maturação da motricidade fina em crianças entre os 6 e os 9 anos. Foi aplicando o...

Narrative texts have been advocated as tools to tackle science learning challenges, and there is even the proposal of a “narrative effect” on learning. We believe it is necessary to examine previous evidence on this effect, as well as to characterize the process of learning through science narrative texts more broadly. In this article, we offer a theoretical review drawing on three frameworks, namely on pedagog...
With the growth of tourism in recent years, the demand for higher education in Hospitality Management has increased, having contributed to the integration of a greater number of graduates in the labour market. In this research, the (dis)articulation between polytechnic higher education and the hospitality management labour market is analysed, focusing on the competencies and career paths of graduates in this ar...
