  1. Book ; Online: O sangue de Bizâncio: ascensão e queda do império romano do oriente

    Monteiro, João Gouveia

    2017

    Abstract Esta obra visa dar a conhecer a história do Império Romano do Oriente - conhecido como Império Bizantino (séculos IV-XVI). Trata-se de um livro panorâmico, centrado nos aspetos políticos e militares, que pretende facilitar um primeiro contacto com a odisseia milenar da parte oriental do velho Império Romano, derrubado pelos povos bárbaros no século V. Não é possível compreender a Europa atual sem conhecer a história do Império Bizantino; só através dela poderemos perceber o início da expansão muçulmana, o percurso do Cristianismo, a constituição da Igreja Ortodoxa, o aparecimento do alfabeto cirílico, a origem dos nacionalismos balcânicos, a formação do Estado russo, a aventura do pequeno reino da Arménia ciliciana, a epopeia dos Mongóis na Ásia Menor, as Cruzadas na Terra Santa... Este é, pois, um livro de iniciação a um tema quase esquecido pelos historiadores e pelos programas universitários portugueses. E uma porta de entrada num mundo único e fascinante - o do império cor de púrpura, que os Turcos Otomanos acabariam por conquistar em 1453

  2. Book ; Online: As três religiões do livro

    Borges, Anselmo / Monteiro, João Gouveia

    Abstract "There will be no peace between nations without peace between religions. There will be no peace between religions without dialogue between religions. There will be no dialogue between religions without global ethical criteria. There will be no survival for our world with peace and justice without a new paradigm of international relations based on global ethical standards." In the light of this declaration, made by the famous theologian Hans Küng in the General Assembly of the United Nations in November 2001 (in the line of the "Declaration of a World Ethics" approved in 1993 by a Parliament of World Religions which brought together in Chicago over 200 representatives of all the religions of the world), Coimbra University Press invited a group of specialists to meet in November 2010 to discuss the premises and current conditions for inter-religious dialogue. The initiative, which brought together representatives and scholars of the prophetic religions (the three great Abrahamic religions or 'religions of the book': Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and the mystical religions, aroused a great deal of interest, which proves the urgency of this discussion in the present world. This volume serves as the memory of that event and also aims to be a contribution and a motivation for other similar initiatives

    Abstract This work focuses on the scientific research conducted by women at Portugal's Institute of Tropical Medicine between 1943 and 1966. The Institute's scientific journal documents the participation of women in tropical medicine during this period. Their publications addressed a variety of subjects and resulted from research carried out in the metropolis as well as Portugal's overseas colonies. Most of the articles written by these women were are co-authored by their male colleagues, reflecting the incorporation of female researchers into scientific networks already established by men. This work in progress provides a starting point to lend visibility to a group of scientific actors who are practically absent from the historiography of tropical medicine.

    Abstract Marine lipids are recognized for their-health promoting features, mainly for being the primary sources of omega-3 fatty acids, and are therefore critical for human nutrition in an age when the global supply for these nutrients is experiencing an unprecedent pressure due to an ever-increasing demand. The seafood industry originates a considerable yield of co-products worldwide that, while already explored for other purposes, remain mostly undervalued as sustainable sources of healthy lipids, often being explored for low-value oil production. These co-products are especially appealing as lipid sources since, besides the well-known nutritional upside of marine animal fat, which is particularly rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, they also have interesting bioactive properties, which may garner them further interest, not only as food, but also for other high-end applications. Besides the added value that these co-products may represent as valuable lipid sources, there is also the obvious ecological upside of reducing seafood industry waste. In this sense, repurposing these bioresources will contribute to a more sustainable use of marine animal food, reducing the strain on already heavily depleted seafood stocks. Therefore, untapping the potential of marine animal co-products as valuable lipid sources aligns with both health and environmental goals by guaranteeing additional sources of healthy lipids and promoting more eco-conscious practices.

    Abstract Quando na manhãzinha do dia 2 de março de 1995, viajávamos de Coimbra para S. Jorge, acalentávamos na alma uma profunda esperança na possibilidade de rever ou de completar aquilo que, a propósito do combate de 14 de agosto de 1385, havia já sido escrito nas décadas anteriores. Evidentemente, tínhamos conhecimento de que a "batalha de Aljubarrota" constituía já um volumoso dossier, construído pela combinação dos meritórios esforços de muitos, talvez de dezenas, de historiadores e de outros estudiosos, que

    Abstract A lost zoological collection was found in an old school in Lisbon, Portugal. Taxidermied animals, fauna preserved in glass jars, skeletons, and fossilized shells were all part of this collection. The research showed that those animals were used by libertarian teachers in science classes in a school created by republicans and freemasons in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century.

    Abstract Introduction: Valve surgery through a median sternotomy has been the standard approach, but in the past decade various minimally invasive procedures have gained increasing traction among physicians and patients.
    Materials and methods: We present a series of three patients submitted to minimally invasive combined aortic and mitral valve surgery, performed through right lateral thoracotomy.
    Results: We report no postoperative complication or mortality. Mean length of stay was 5 days, with a self-reported pain score 2/5 (mild/annoying pain).
    Conclusions: We report our initial experience, describing surgical technique and postoperative results, showing this technique to be safe, reproductible and comparable to conventional surgery.

    Abstract The application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in bone tissue regeneration can have unpredictable results due to the low survival of cells in the process since the lack of oxygen and nutrients promotes metabolic stress. Therefore, in this work, polymeric membranes formed by organic-inorganic hybrid materials called ureasil-polyether for modified glucose release were developed in order to overcome the problems posed by a of lack of this nutrient. Thus, membranes formed by polymeric blend of polypropylene oxide (PPO4000) and polyethylene oxide (PEO500) with 6% glucose incorporation were developed. Physical-chemical characterization techniques were performed, as well as tests that evaluated thermal properties, bioactivity, swelling, and release in SBF solution. The results of the swelling test showed an increase in membrane mass correlated with an increase in the concentration of ureasil-PEO500 in the polymeric blends. The membranes showed adequate resistance when subjected to the application of a high compression force (15 N). X-ray diffraction (XRD) evidenced peaks corresponding to orthorhombic crystalline organization, but the absence of glucose-related peaks showed characteristics of the amorphous regions of hybrid materials, likely due to solubilization. Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses showed that the thermal events attributed to glucose and hybrid materials were similar to that seen in the literature, however when glucose was incorporated into the PEO500, an increase in rigidity occurs. In PPO400, and in the blends of both materials, there was a slight decrease in Tg values. The smaller contact angle for the ureasil-PEO500 membrane revealed the more hydrophilic character of the material compared to other membranes. The membranes showed bioactivity and hemocompatibility in vitro. The in vitro release test revealed that it is possible to control the release rate of glucose and the kinetic analysis revealed a release mechanism characteristic of anomalous transport kinetics. Thus, we can conclude that ureasil-polyether membranes have great potential to be used as a glucose release system, and their future application has the potential to optimize the bone regeneration process.

    Abstract Assessment of mental workload in real-world conditions is key to ensuring the performance of workers executing tasks that demand sustained attention. Previous literature has employed electroencephalography (EEG) to this end despite having observed that EEG correlates of mental workload vary across subjects and physical strain, thus making it difficult to devise models capable of simultaneously presenting reliable performance across users. Domain adaptation consists of a set of strategies that aim at allowing for improving machine learning systems performance on unseen data at training time. Such methods, however, might rely on assumptions over the considered data distributions, which typically do not hold for applications of EEG data. Motivated by this observation, in this work we propose a strategy to estimate two types of discrepancies between multiple data distributions, namely marginal and conditional shifts, observed on data collected from different subjects. Besides shedding light on the assumptions that hold for a particular dataset, the estimates of statistical shifts obtained with the proposed approach can be used for investigating other aspects of a machine learning pipeline, such as quantitatively assessing the effectiveness of domain adaptation strategies. In particular, we consider EEG data collected from individuals performing mental tasks while running on a treadmill and pedaling on a stationary bike and explore the effects of different normalization strategies commonly used to mitigate cross-subject variability. We show the effects that different normalization schemes have on statistical shifts and their relationship with the accuracy of mental workload prediction as assessed on unseen participants at training time.
