European Portuguese EARS Test Battery Adaptation

Introduction: The use of adequate assessment tools in health care is crucial for the management of care. The lack of specific tools in Portugal for assessing the performance of children who use cochlear implants motivated the translation and adaptation of the EARS (Evaluation of Auditory Responses to Speech) test battery into European Portuguese. This test battery is today one of the most commonly used by (re)h...

Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Portuguese Version of th...

Background: Self-care is a nursing sensitive outcome. In Portugal there is a lack of validated scales to assess self-care. Scales have their own validation methods to be used in cultural contexts which are different from their original contexts. Aim: To translate, adapt, validate, and assess the psychometric properties of the Therapeutic Self-Care Scale (Doran & Sidani, 2005) for the Portuguese population. Meth...

Variability over time in the sources of South Portuguese Zone turbidites: evide...

This study combines geochemical and geochronological data in order to decipher the provenance of Carboniferous turbidites from the South Portuguese Zone (SW Iberia). Major and trace elements of 25 samples of graywackes and mudstones from the Mértola (Visean), Mira (Serpukhovian), and Brejeira (Moscovian) Formations were analyzed, and 363 U-Pb ages were obtained on detrital zircons from five samples of graywacke...

BUILDING A MODEL TO ANALYSE A MATHEMATICS TEACHER PRACTICE

Teaching practice can be seen in different perspectives; one of them is the cognitive perspective. We present a model that, starting from teaching practice, allows us to examine which cognitions are at stake when teachers are immersed in their practice, and also the ways in which those cognitions arerelated and what is their role in the teaching process. The establishment of such a model allows us to simplify s...

Severe acute respiratory infections in the 2012/2013 season studied by the Port...

During the 2009/10 influenza pandemic, a network of 14 laboratories located in the main reference hospitals from Portugal mainland, Madeira and Azores was established for the diagnosis of the new influenza A(H1N1)2009 pandemic strain. Since then, the network performs laboratory diagnosis of influenza as well as other respiratory pathogens, thus contributing to the laboratory diagnosis of respiratory disease in ...

An FPGA implementation of OFDM transceiver for LTE applications

The paper presents a real-time transceiver using an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signaling scheme. The transceiver is implemented on a Field- Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) through Xilinx System Generator for DSP and includes all the blocks needed for the transmission path of OFDM. The transmitter frame can be reconfigured for different pilot and data schemes. In the receiver, time-domain s...

Factors affecting the metal recovery yield during induction melting of aluminiu...

Machining operations of cast parts usually generate considerable amounts of waste in the form of chips (usually 3–5% of the casting weight). Traditionally, swarf is sold to scrapers and remelters, but this option is quite expensive because the selling price is roughly 30% of the acquisition price of the commercial 2nd melt raw material. For most aluminium foundries that incorporate machining operations in their...
