    Reducing the Seismic Vulnerability of Existing Buildings: Assessment and Retrofit (2019)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute

    Abstract: Devastating seismic events occurring all over the world keep raising the awareness of the scientific, technical and political communities to the need of identifying assets at risk and developing more effective and cost-efficient seismic risk mitigation strategies. Significant advances in earthquake engineering research have been achieved with the rise of new technologies and techniques with potential use in risk assessment, management and mitigation. Nevertheless, there is still much to be done, particularly with regard to existing buildings, most of them built without anti-seismic provisions. The wide variety of construction and structural systems, associated with the complex behaviour of their materials, greatly limit the application of current codes and building standards to the existing building stock. To tackle this issue, there is a fundamental need for developing multidisciplinary research that can lead to the development of more sophisticated and reliable methods of analysis, as well as to improved seismic retrofitting techniques compliant with buildings conservation principles. This book intends to contribute to the aforementioned goal by stimulating the exchange of ideas and knowledge on the assessment and reduction of the seismic vulnerability of existing buildings. 10 high quality contributions authored by international experts from Italy, Portugal, Morocco, Nepal, Czech Republic and Spain are included herein. All contributions pursue the protection of existing buildings by considering the most updated methods and advanced solutions emerging from different fields of expertise

    Dietary Polyphenols and Neuroprotection (2022)

    Abstract: As editors of this book our aim was to collect new data from experienced authors in order to further advance the knowledge on the protective effects of polyphenols’ intake, e.g., when included in the human diet, to modulate cellular functions and pathways associated with neurodegenerative diseases.Fruits and vegetables are the richest source of polyphenols in the regular human diet. Most of these molecules possess high antioxidant capacity, as well as several other important activities that can affect human health, among which anti-inflammatory properties and the potential ability to modulate different cell-signalling pathways seem to be the most important. Neurodegenerative diseases are among the main causes of death worldwide and, in most of them like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, neurodegeneration occurs long before the onset of first symptoms, where a large population of brain neurons are already lost. Besides neurons, glial cells like astrocytes and microglia, are involved in oxidative and neuroinflammatory pathological pathways, making them interesting targets for neuroprotective strategies. Polyphenols are promising candidates for those strategies, either as prophylactic substances or as therapeutic molecules.In this book, several research papers and two reviews explore the chemical properties of naturally occurring polyphenols and some new possibilities for the therapeutical and/or prophylactic roles of these molecules on neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative diseases

    Medicina à Cabeceira do Doente & Comunicação Clínica (2020)
    Braga
    Details
    Language: Portuguese
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (62 p.)
    Keywords: Doctor/patient relationship
    Abstract: O objetivo deste livro é criar um “guião" para o estudante de medicina, para o ajudar a tornar-se proficiente na ciência e na arte da Semiologia Médica. O livro é composto por quatro capítulos. O capítulo 1, "A Arte da Entrevista Clínica” fornece ao leitor uma visão da herança da comunicação clínica e da relevância da relação médico-doente. No capítulo 2 “Exame Físico de Screening” e no capítulo 3 “Exame Físico Completo” o estudante recebe um guia prático e sistematizado para duas abordagens, distintas, mas complementares, ao exame físico: uma mais curta e mais frequentemente aplicada e outra mais clássica e detalhada. O capítulo 4 “Algoritmos de Sistematização” agrega uma abordagem decisiva ao processo mental que cada clínico utiliza no processo de decisão clínica. E, com isto, pretendemos ajudar cada estudante a transformar-se num Médico. Uma nota de agradecimento a todos os que ao longo de vários anos integraram a equipa de docentes dos Laboratórios de Aptidões Clínicas da Escola de Medicina da Universidade e que são, de inteira justiça, os obreiros deste livro. Foi, é, e será sempre um privilégio trabalhar convosco. Nuno Sousa

    Abstract: This unique book written by four world leaders in reputation research, presents the latest cutting-edge thinking on organizational improvement. It covers media management, crisis management, the use of logos and other aspects of corporate identity, and argues the case for reputation management as a way of overseeing long-term organizational strategy. It presents a new approach to managing reputation, one that relies on surveying customers and employees on their view of the corporate character and in harmonizing the values of both. This approach has been trialled in a number of organizations an
