Behavioural assessment impacts on the performance results
Patrício, Rita Sofia DinizThis study examines the relationship between the behaviours assessed in a performance management system and the performed results achieved by the employees. It also studies the interdependency among the different behaviours assessed to the workers. The quantitative research used statistical methods such as: correlation matrix, factorial analysis, and multiple and simple regression methodologies. A sample of N=1...
ANÁLISE Multimodal do Controlo Postural
Valente, Laura RebeloO estudo do movimento é essencial para a compreensão do comportamento e das funções motoras humanas, permitindo distinguir padrões saudáveis de patológicos. Neste âmbito, abordagens multimodais com integração de múltiplos sensores, têm-se revelado promissoras, possibilitando um estudo holístico do movimento. Contudo, além dos de- safios de integração, a falta de padronização de protocolos experimentais e o redu...
Aplicação do Controlo Estatístico do Processo para a Monitorização da Exposição...
Garcia, Nuno Miguel BritoAo longo das últimas décadas, a técnica de imagem híbrida PET/CT consolidou-se como uma das ferramentas mais relevantes da imagiologia oncológica. Contudo, a ampla disseminação desta tecnologia trouxe consigo um desafio alarmante: a exposição ocupacional dos profissionais de saúde à radiação ionizante. A proximidade frequente destes profissionais a doentes submetidos a radiofármacos aumenta o risco de absorção ...
A self-reliance framework for identifying strategic advanced materials
Teixeira, Cristina; Gabbett, Cian; Synnatschke, Kevin; Coleman, Jonathan N.; Sofer, Zdenek; Mendes, Manuel J.; Fortunato, Elvira; Martins, RodrigoGlobal supply chain disruptions make securing raw materials for next-generation technologies an urgent priority. Raw materials are currently deemed ‘critical’ based on their supply risk and ‘strategic’ if vital for green or digital transitions. However, these frameworks do not yet cover advanced materials, the complex, engineered substances like nanomaterials that are the drivers of modern innovation. Here we i...
Materials handling in hospitals: an analysis of how the storage and materials h...
Reichart, ChristianeWarehousing costs and especially order picking costs account for a considerable amount of total logistics costs, what leads to the purpose of this paper which is to elaborate means by which the materials handling process of hospitals can be improved. A detailed analysis of the material storage and picking process at Hospital Santa Maria is carried out in order to demonstrate best practices as well as main limit...
Folic acid prevention of neural tube defects requires retinoic acid produced by...
Edri, Tamir; Abbou-Levy, Tali; Cohen, Dor; Inácio, José M.; Shabtai, Yehuda; Pillemer, Graciela; Belo, José António; Fainsod, AbrahamFolic acid (FA) supplementation during pregnancy is the commonly accepted treatment to prevent neural tube defects. The mechanism by which FA prevents neural tube defects (NTDs) remains unclear. FA also prevents other developmental malformations, including alcohol-induced malformations in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome models. We show that FA acts through a metabolic link to retinoic acid (RA) signaling. Using a pax3-k...
Pragmatic real-world evaluation of computer-aided detection in colonoscopy
Bernardes, Carlos; Rocha, Manuel; Rodrigues, Jaime; Bastos, Pedro; Ortigão, Raquel; Veloso, Ricardo; Moreira, Teresa; Rafael, Liliana; Lourenço, CláudiaBackground: Computer-aided detection (CADe) improves adenoma detection rate (ADR) in randomised trials; however, translation into routine practice remains uncertain, with real-world studies showing inconsistent results. Aims: To evaluate CADe in a pragmatic multicentre setting using a within-endoscopist design, with endoscopists serving as their own comparators under routine clinical conditions. Methods: Pragma...
On monotone alternating inverse monoids
Fernandes, Vítor HugoIn this paper, we consider the inverse submonoids AMn of monotone transformations and AOn of order-preserving transformations of the alternating inverse monoid AIn on a chain with n elements. We compute the cardinalities, describe the Green’s structures and the congruences, and calculate the ranks of these two submonoids of AIn.
International Expansion of Jerónimo Martins to Poland: The rationale behind Bie...
Peixinho, InêsThis Work Project analyzes the success of Jerónimo Martins in Poland, and it provides a better understanding of Biedronka’s success. It is divided in two main parts: Part I, which is the case study itself, is composed by an overview of the company background and of the Polish retail industry since the company entered the market, and provides a better understanding of the success of Biedronka; and, Part II, in w...
Evaluation of the HR Function
Bogas, Cátia Patrícia da SilvaThis work project examines the differences between international and non-international companies regarding the human resources (HR) function. The issues examined involve organizational strategy, HR strategy, HR status, and the evaluation of the HR function. Using data from the 1999/2000 CRANET survey, some differences stand out between the two groups of organizations. International organizations have mission st...
