Utilização do jogo e mecanismos de jogo como estratégia terapêutica no idoso: evidência científica
Publication . Rosa, Marlene Cristina Neves; Tome, Ana Maria
A evolução sociodemográfica e o elevado índice de envelhecimento nacional e mundial, exigem ajustamento das intervenções preventivas e terapêuticas. O consumo gradual dos serviços de saúde pelos idosos, exige uma resposta à multimorbilidade, declínio multissistémico, perda da independência funcional e de qualidade de vida. O jogo ou a utilização de dinâmicas ou elementos de jogo, têm apresentado resultados positivos na literatura, com diferentes utilizações em saúde. Algumas revisões sistemáticas sugerem o seu papel promissor e efetivo, principalmente na integridade cognitiva e funcional (incluindo o equilíbrio) e saúde mental. Este estudo pretende apresentar e discutir a evidência científica da efetividade do jogo sério em diferentes contextos no envelhecimento. Procedeu-se a uma revisão de literatura através da pesquisa em diferentes bases de dados Cochrane Pubmed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect e Google Schoolar nos últimos 10 anos.
ENAQUA 25 national aquaculture meeting CIMAR/LA: book abstracts
Publication . Engrola, Sofia; Teodósio, Rita; Aragão, Cláudia
It is a great pleasure to host you at the University of Algarve for this inaugural event, jointly organised by CCMAR and CIIMAR, the two research institutes that together form CIMAR-LA, Portugal’s largest marine and environmental research laboratory. This meeting marks an important milestone for our community, and our ambition is to establish ENAQUA as a biennial gathering that strengthens collaboration, promotes scientific excellence, and advances innovation in aquaculture.
We are pleased to welcome participants from 15 institutions, including researchers, students, industry representatives, and stakeholders from across the sector. Your presence reflects the diversity, vitality, and growing strategic importance of aquaculture in Portugal and Europe.
This year, ENAQUA25 features a dedicated Industry Session focusing on Bivalves, a major pillar of national and international aquaculture. This session underscores our commitment to engaging with industry partners, understanding their challenges, and contributing meaningful scientific solutions that support sustainable growth, food sovereignty, and the societal relevance of aquaculture.
We thank all contributors for their abstracts, presentations, and posters, which form the core of this scientific programme. We also extend our gratitude to our keynote speakers, supporters, sponsors as well as organising and scientific committees for their dedication and essential support in making this event possible.
We wish you an inspiring and productive meeting, full of opportunities for learning, discussion, and the strengthening of future collaborations.
Aulas de toxicologia alimentar
Publication . Braz, Nídia Maria Dias Azinheira Rebelo
A Toxicologia estuda os efeitos adversos das substâncias nos seres vivos ou em sistemas alternativos in vitro, como culturas de células ou de tecidos.
Toxicologia alimentar é o ramo da Toxicologia que se ocupa dos agentes tóxicos veiculados pelos alimentos, quer sejam parte da sua constituição ou resultem de contaminação.
The reference genome for the northeastern Pacific bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana
Publication . Alves-Lima, Cicero; Montecinos, Gabriel; Escalona, Merly; Calhoun, Sara; Marimuthu, Mohan; Nguyen, Oanh; Beraut, Eric; Lipzen, Anna; Grigoriev, Igor V; Raimondi, Peter; Nuzhdin, Sergey; Alberto, Filipe
Bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana, is a northeastern Pacific kelp with broad distribution from Alaska to central California. Its population declines have caused severe concerns in northern California, the Salish Sea in Washington, and recently in some populations in Oregon. Despite bull kelp's accumulated ecological and physiological studies, an assembled and annotated genomic reference was still unavailable. Here, we report the complete and annotated genome of Nereocystis luetkeana, produced by the California Conservation Genomics Project (CCGP), which aims to reveal genomic diversity patterns across California by sequencing the complete genomes of approximately 150 carefully selected species. The genome was assembled into 1,562 scaffolds with 449.82 Mb, 80x of coverage and 22,952 gene models. BUSCO assembly showed a completeness score of 72% for the stramenopiles gene set. The mitochondria and chloroplast genome sequences have 37 Mb and 131 Mb, respectively. The orthology analysis between 10 Phaeophycean genomes showed 1,065 expanded and 286 unique orthogroups for this species. Pairwise comparisons showed 542 orthogroups present only in N. luetkeana and M. pyrifera, another large-body kelp. The enrichment analysis of these orthogroups showed important functions related to central metabolism and signaling due to ATPases enrichment in these two species. This genome assembly will provide an essential resource for the ecology, evolution, conservation, and breeding of bull kelp.
Linguistic loops and geometric invariants as a way to pre-verbal thought?
Publication . Corradetti, Daniele; Alessio Marrani
We introduce the concepts of linguistic transformation, linguistic loop and semantic deficit. By exploiting Lie group theoretical and geometric techniques, we define invariants that capture the structural properties of a whole linguistic loop. This result paves the way to a totally new line of research, employing tools from Lie theory and higher-dimensional geometry within language studies. But, even more intriguingly, our study hints to a mathematical characterization of the meta-linguistic or pre-verbal thought, namely of those cognitive structures that precede the language.
