    Abstract In this work, we share the dataset collected during the Smart Green Homes (SGH) project. The project’s goal was to develop integrated products and technology solutions for households, as well as to improve the standards of comfort and user satisfaction. This was to be achieved while improving household energy efficiency and reducing the usage of gaseous pollutants, in response to the planet’s sustainability issues. One of the tasks executed within the project was the collection of data from volunteers’ homes, including environmental information and the level of comfort as perceived by the volunteers themselves. While used in the original project, the resulting dataset contains valuable information that could not be explored at the time. We now share this dataset with the community, which can be used for various scenarios. These may include heating appliance optimisation, presence detection and environmental prediction.

    Abstract Segundo o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), o Brasil possui mais de 240 comunidades indígenas. As características etnográficas dessas comunidades corroboraram para uma grande variedade de determinantes do processo saúde-doença, onde a efetividade das ações de atenção à saúde básica é uma missão desafiadora. Este trabalho trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, que objetivou analisar estudos sobre as condições de saúde bucal dos povos indígenas brasileiros, seus objetivos e resultados. Os artigos compilados neste estudo foram selecionados por meio das bases de dados: PubMed, Lilacs e Scielo. O levantamento limitou-se aos artigos publicados nos idiomas inglês e português, entre os anos de 2000 a 2020, utilizando os descritores padronizados: Saúde Bucal; Saúde Indígena; Índios Sul-Americanos e seus correspondentes em inglês, em todas as combinações foi utilizado o operador booleano And. Para que pudessem serem incluídos na análise, utilizou-se os seguintes critérios: estar em formato de artigo, possuírem título e resumo que se assemelhem aos objetivos do trabalho e estar publicado na íntegra. Observou-se que devido as peculiaridades sócio-demográficas, cercearam muitos destes aos benefícios de programas assistenciais odontológicos de rotina, tendo como consequência um controle insipiente da cárie e desenvolvimento de várias doenças bucais. Contudo, ficou evidente que a condição de saúde bucal dos povos indígenas brasileiros apresenta-se precária e que essa condição de degradação só poderá ser dirimida por meio de estudos epidemiológicos mais abrangentes, além da execução de ações de prevenção e promoção à saúde bucal.

    Abstract The major challenge of conventional lipid-based excipients (LBE) for drug delivery is their unstable solid state, affecting the stability of pharmaceutical product. Polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (PGFAs) are oligomeric hydroxyethers of glycerol fully or partially esterified with fatty acids. Tuning the number of polyglycerol moieties, fatty acids chain length and free hydroxyl groups per molecule results in diverse physicochemical properties, e.g. HLB, melting point, and wettability, which makes these molecules attractive candidates as novel LBE for different pharmaceutical applications. In this first part of our studies the solid state of PGFAs and the stability thereof were profiled on molecular, nano, and microstructural level and the resulting properties as LBE. DSC analysis confirmed the single phase system of PGFAs without phase separation. WAXS patterns revealed the absence of polymorphism and the direct crystallization into a stable α-form; without transition to more dense configurations. SAXS patterns exposed the lamellar arrangement. The lamellae stacks were characterized by the crystallite thickness and growth. The nano, microstructure and physicochemical properties of PGFAs remained stable during storage. The stable solid state and the broad functionality of PGFAs offer a novel approach to overcome the challenges faced by conventional LBE for advanced pharmaceutical applications. Examples for such applications are presented in the next parts of this study.

    Abstract Hot-melt coating (HMC) as a solvent-free technology grants faster and more economic coating processes with reduced risk of dissolving the drug during the process. Moreover, traditional coating equipment can be modified to enable the HMC process. Despite the indubitable advantages and feasibility of the process, HMC is not well-known to pharmaceutical industry and its employment is still limited. The main aspect hindering the widespread application of this technique is the need of materials alternative to the conventional polymeric coatings. The current work reviews the published HMC formulations and describes the properties that have led to their selection. As these materials are mainly solid lipid excipients, attention should be paid to their crystallization and solid state behavior, and their impact on the performance of coated drug products, particularly on the stable drug release profile. Although different drug release profiles can be easily tailored, much development work is needed to respond to the unmet requirements of a stable formulation. Ensuring stable solid-state behavior and providing a mechanistic understanding of the macroscopic properties are essential steps towards fulfilling these requirements and establishing of HMC as advanced coating technology for manufacturing of pharmaceutical products.

    Abstract Personal information is increasingly gathered and used for providing services tailored to user preferences, but the datasets used to provide such functionality can represent serious privacy threats if not appropriately protected. Work in privacy-preserving data publishing targeted privacy guarantees that protect against record re-identification, by making records indistinguishable, or sensitive attribute value disclosure, by introducing diversity or noise in the sensitive values. However, most approaches fail in the high-dimensional case, and the ones that don't introduce a utility cost incompatible with tailored recommendation scenarios. This paper aims at a sensible trade-off between privacy and the benefits of tailored recommendations, in the context of privacy-preserving data publishing. We empirically demonstrate that significant privacy improvements can be achieved at a utility cost compatible with tailored recommendation scenarios, using a simple partition-based sanitization method.

    Abstract Monitoring road traffic is extremely important given the possibilities it opens up in terms of studying the behavior of road users, road design and planning problems, as well as because it can be used to predict future traffic. Especially on highways that connect beaches and larger urban areas, traffic is characterized by having peaks that are highly dependent on weather conditions and rest periods. This paper describes a dataset of mobility patterns of a coastal area in Aveiro region, Portugal, fully covered with traffic classification radars, over a two-year period. The sensing infrastructure was deployed in the scope of the PASMO project, an open living lab for co-operative intelligent transportation systems. The data gathered includes the speed of the detected objects, their position, and their type (heavy vehicle, light vehicle, two-wheeler, and pedestrian). The dataset includes 74,305 records, corresponding to the aggregation of road information at 10 min intervals. A brief analysis of the dataset shows the highly dynamic nature of traffic during the two-year period. In addition, the existence of meteorological records from nearby stations, and the recording of daily data on COVID-19 infections, make it possible to cross-reference information and study the influence of weather conditions and infections on traffic behavior.

    Abstract Na/K-ATPase (NKA) is a p-type transmembrane enzyme formed by three different subunits (α, β, and γ gamma). Primarily responsible for transporting sodium and potassium through the cell membrane, it also plays a critical role in intracellular signaling. The activation of diverse intracellular pathways may trigger cell death, survival, or even cell proliferation. Changes in the NKA functions or expression in isoforms subunits impact pathological conditions, such as cancer. The NKA function affects cell adhesion, motility, and migration, which are different in the physiological and pathological states. All enzyme subunits take part in the cell adhesion process, with the β subunit being the most studied. Thus, herein we aim to highlight NKA' central role in cell adhesion, motility, and migration in cancer cells.
