An h-set is a nonempty compact subset of the Euclidean n-space which supports a finite Radon measure for which the measure of balls centered on the subset is essentially given by the image of their radius by a suitable function h. In most cases of interest such a subset has Lebesgue measure zero and has a fractal structure. Let ω be a bounded C∞ domain in \documentclass{article}\begin{document}$\mathbb R̂n $\en...
As recentes contrações económicas têm evidenciado o impacto da globalização quer na saúde financeira dos países, quer de setores e empresas. O turismo e, em particular, o setor hoteleiro, é um exemplo de um setor que tem vindo a espelhar os efeitos das recentes crises, particularmente da crise sanitária global provocada pelo vírus Sar-Cov2 e da crise financeira internacional de 2007/2008.

Among the largest and most recognized forest certifications, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) deserves spe- cial mention. Its objective is to certify forest-origin products that come from socially fair, environmentally ade- quate, and economically viable management. This study aimed to investigate whether the duration of certification and the organizational size influence the perception of economic and soci...
A relação do Homem com as águas termais é tão antiga quanto conturbada e sempre nos fascinou. O turismo de saúde e bem-estar, cujo conceito ao evoluir passou a contemplar o termalismo nas suas duas vertentes (clássico e de bem-estar), é, desde 2006, considerado como um produto estratégico pelo Turismo de Portugal, IP. Quisemos estudar a viabilidade económica de um grupo de estabelecimentos termais (Termas de Lu...
Companies face an increasingly strict demanding and competitive environment.

Process management in companies is assumed as critical, given that in a constantly changing environment, the adaptation and efficient management of processes with a continuous improvement focus ...
Brazilian native seaweed Canistrocarpus cervicornis (Ochrophyta, Dictyotaceae) is recognized for its chemodiversity, particularly cyclic diterpenes and polysaccharides, yet its relevance to neurological disorders remains unexplored. This study evaluated the neuroprotective potential of a hydroethanolic extract (ECCH), its polar fraction (CCFPol), a dichloromethane extract (ECCD), and eight derived fractions (CC...
Water loss is a big challenge for water supply companies worldwide, and the Water Network Partitioning (WNP) is an excellent tool for water loss management–particularly in the current difficult economic and financial conditions. WNP is a recent research line and consists in dividing the water distribution network into smaller zones called District Metered Areas (DMAs) with one (or more, in exceptional cases) su...
