Systematic Review of Impacts of Educational Interventions to Control Breeding Sites of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus Mosquitoes
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2024 Apr 2:tpmd230427. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0427. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCommunity participation is a critical element in the management of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus breeding sites. Many educational interventions have been conducted to encourage prevention and elimination of breeding sites among different community actors, such as government-run programs for vector surveillance aimed at preventing and eliminating breeding sites at the household level within a community. Getting people involved in prevention and elimination of vector breeding sites in their communities requires communicat...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 447: Beyond Work: The Role of & ldquo;Family-Friendly & rdquo; Practices in the Subjective Well-Being of Teleworkers and On-Site Workers in the COVID-19 Pandemic
This study investigated the link between organisational and supervisory family support and subjective well-being, examining work engagement as a mediator. Conducted in Portugal, this cross-sectional study surveyed 515 individuals via web-based questionnaires. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and multiple-group analysis. The findings revealed a positive correlation between perceived organisational family support (POFS) and work engagement for both groups. Additionally, perceived supervisory family support (PSFS) positively correlated with work engagement fo...

Pollution sources affecting the oxidative potential of fine aerosols in a Portuguese urban-industrial area - an exploratory study
This study targets to determine the oxidative potential (OP) of fine aerosols in an urban-industrial area of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (Portugal) and, in addition, to identify which pollution sources may have an impact on the OP levels of fine aerosols. For this purpose, thirty samples were selected from a set of 128 samples collected over one year (Dec 2019-Nov 2020), based on the highest load for each source (both mass and %) previously assessed by source apportionment studies (using Positive Matrix Factorisation, a total of 7 different sources were identified: soil, secondary sulphate, fuel-oil combustion, sea, vehic...

OpenWMB: An open-source and automated working memory task battery for OpenSesame
This study also tried to contribute to the ongoing debate regarding the best method to assess WMC. We computed a permutation analysis to compare the amount of variance shared between a fluid intelligence factor and (1) each WM task, (2) homogenous WMC factors (based on multiple tasks from the same paradigm), and (3) heterogeneous WMC factors (derived from triplets of tasks from different paradigms). Our results suggested that heterogeneous factors provided the best estimates of WMC.PMID:38575775 | DOI:10.3758/s13428-024-02397-1 (Source: Behavior Research Methods)

Long-term Cardiovascular Outcomes in a Population-Based Multicentric Cohort of Northern Portugal: Validation of the ESC/EAS Prognostic Risk Classification
The rising prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in Portugal translates into more than 35 000 annual deaths due to CV diseases, representing 30% of the total mortality in 2019 1,2. Moreover, CV risk factors such as dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, smoking, coronary artery disease, history of stroke, myocardial infarction, among others can significantly increase the risk of subsequent CV events 3.
