O presente trabalho resultou de um projeto de intervenção, próximo do modelo de investigação-ação, realizado no âmbito do curso de 2º ciclo de Ciências de Educação, Ensino Especial-Domínio Cognitivo e Motor, do IE da ULHT. O projeto teve como finalidade potenciar a inclusão escolar e social de dois adolescentes com Trissomia 21, alunos de duas turmas, de 8º e 9º ano, de uma escola básica de 2º e 3ºciclos do Rib...
Published online 06 February 2014 ; Stress impacts differently in distinct brain regions. However, so far few studies have focused on the differential responses triggered by stressful stimuli on the intrinsic functional heterogeneity of the hippocampal axis. In this study, we assessed the functional and structural alterations caused by exposure to a chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) paradigm on the dorsal-ven...
IBD is a gastro-intestinal disorder marked with chronic inflammation of intestinal epithelium, damaging mucosal tissue and manifests into several intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms. Currently used medical therapy is able to induce and maintain the patient in remission, however no modifies or reverses the underlying pathogenic mechanism. The research of other medical approaches is crucial to the treatment ...
Tese de doutoramento em Ciências da Comunicação (área de especialização em Comunicação Audiovisual) ; O fenómeno da proliferação de personagens virtuais nos mais variados contextos das indústria criativa e do entretenimento — especialmente no cinema de animação e nos jogos digitais — reflectem aspectos de uma cultura (audio)visual digital exigente de novas linguagens e emoções. Esta nova cultura da imagem espe...
Reproductive efficiency in beef cows is limited by the length of the postpartum anoestrous period wich in turn is controlled by pituitary gonadotrophins and gonadal steroids and/or ptoteins. The first aim of this study was to elucidate the role of LH pulses in the development of ovarian activity in postpartum beefcows, specially to determine whether or not the normal, relatively slow processo f folicular develo...
Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a complex disease integrating three major agents: the pathogenic agent, the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus; the insect-vector Monochamus spp.; and the host pine tree, Pinus sp. Since the early 80's, the notion that another pathogenic agent, namely bacteria, may play a role in PWD has been gaining traction, however the role of bacteria in PWD is still unknown. The present...
Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a complex disease integrating three major factors: the causal agent, the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus; the insect-vector Monochamus spp.; and the host pine tree, Pinus sp. Since the early 80’s, the notion that another pathogenic agent involved, namely bacteria, may play a role in PWD has been gaining traction, however the role of bacteria in PWD is still unknown.

The pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is a highly pathogenic plant parasite that greatly affects pine forests. In Portugal, the most affected species is Pinus pinaster Aiton. Despite great efforts, since its fist detection in 1999, the PWN has spread through the country, including Madeira Island, having been recently detected in Spain [1,2]. Containing this pest is of the utmost importance for ...

Pine wilt disease (PWD), presently the most severe coniferous disease worldwide, is caused by the plant parasitic nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pinewood nematode (PWN). Although PWN is considered the major pathogenic factor in PWD, its associated bacterial community is not ruled out as potential helpers in this complex and still little understood disease. This work presents the characterization of PW...
