Children consumer behaviour field lab: the Nestum consumer
Lourenço, Jacqueline ArealThe goal of this work project is to help Nestum understand its consumers as to better comprehend the needs, tastes and routines of the target consumer, children with ages between 6 and 10. Knowing one‟s consumers is vital to stay relevant and also understand how to innovate and differentiate in a day and age where private labels are increasingly becoming consumed which has a negative impact on brands such as Ne...
Fair Value: A Literature Review
Fernandes, João Daniel AlmeidaIASB and FASB are cooperating to converge into a full fair value accounting system, as “ordered” by financial statements users. The purpose of this literature review is to see if we are ready for this convergence. In this literature review I performed a description of the history, evolution and application of fair value, analyzed the different concepts and problems existing to measure fair value, and also took ...
The accounting system of the hieronymite Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém circ...
Martins, Cátia Filipa AlvesAccounting history can be seen as a source of data and a tool for economic history. This project aims to present the accounting system of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Belém in its last reporting period (1833). After a brief characterization of the monastery, the research follows with the analysis of its inspection book of expenses and receipts. The Monastery accounting did not use the double-entry system, ne...
Coffee Pulp and Silverskin Mitigate Fructose-Induced Intestinal Alterations in ...
Silva, Francisca; Andrade, Nelson; Rodrigues, Ilda; Marques, Cláudia; Barreto-Peixoto, Juliana A.; Oliveira, Maria B.P.P.; Alves, Rita C.Excessive fructose consumption is associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). This study evaluated the effect of two coffee by-products, coffee pulp (CP) and coffee silverskin (SK), on fructose-induced intestinal changes. Sprague–Dawley rats were assigned to six groups (n = 6/group) for 10 weeks: Control, Fructose (FRU; 20% fructose in drinking water), CP, CP + FRU, SK, and SK + FRU. CP and SK were administered by...
When do trade reforms imply larger poverty reductions?
Batista, Rodrigo dos SantosI study the group of countries who conducted the largest tariff reductions of the late 1980’s to analyse the relationship between trade reforms and different poverty reductions. I find that countries with larger reductions in poverty are associated with higher labour to land ratio, lower capital to labour ratio, negative trade balance and better legal systems. I find that W.T.O. participation is not relevant to...
NextGenerationEU landing
Scotti, Francesco; Caporali, Carlo; Luca, DavideIn response to the COVID-19 crisis, the European Union introduced NextGenerationEU, its largest stimulus package to date. We focus on Italy, the program's largest beneficiary, and analyse the territorial distribution of funds. Although centrally coordinated, most expenditures were awarded through calls and implemented by local governments. Using a sample of approximately 4500 Italian municipalities for which ad...
Asymptotic Stability for Stochastic Delay Kelvin–Voigt–Brinkman–Forchheimer Equ...
Zhang, Qiangheng; Kinra, Kush; Mohan, Manil T.Some results on 3D delay Kelvin–Voigt–Brinkman–Forchheimer equations with non-autonomous forcing term and operator type multiplicative white noise are analyzed. First, the existence, uniqueness and backward compactness of pullback random attractors is proved by the backward flattening of solutions and Ascoli-Arzelà theorem. Then we study three types of stability of pullback random attractors: (i) The backward s...

Regions of low gene expression promote maintenance and adaptation of horizontal...
Brito, Patricia H.; Gil, Victoria; Pontes, Ana; Silva, Margarida; Goncalves, Carla; Goncalves, PaulaWe showed previously that yeasts in Starmerella and Wickerhamiella genera (W/S clade) exhibit numbers of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events much larger than found in any other yeast species, with bacteria and other fungi (Pezizomycotina) as donors. Here we shed light on HGT in the W/S clade by carrying out the characterization of xenologous genes present in three species harboring together close to 600 xenol...
