The aim of this case study was to quantify the magnitude of internal load, acute/chronic workload ratio (ACWR), well-being perception, and heart rate variability (HRV) following 38 weeks of functional-fitness training in a female elite athlete.The internal load was obtained with session rating perceived exertion (session-RPE) while the ACWR was cal
We spend the majority of our lives indoors where we are constantly exposed to bacteria residing on surfaces.However, the diversity of these surface-associated communities is largely unknown.We explored the biogeographical patterns exhibited by bacteria across ten surfaces within each of twelve public restrooms.Using high-throughput barcoded pyroseq
The purpose of this study was to analyze attachment and empathy in university students.The methodology used was quantitative and three evaluation instruments, already checked in previous researches for the Portuguese population, were used, and a sociodemographic questionnaire was also administered.The sample consisted of 183 1st degree students, wh
Splenic flexure volvulus (SFV) is a very rare condition that is unlikely to be suspected even when a patient has repeated episodes of abdominal pain and dyschezia.We describe the case of SFV diagnosed and treated laparoscopically in the non-volvulus condition.A 14-year-old boy with no medical history had severe left upper abdominal pain and dyschez
Analyzing complex problem domains is not easy.Simulation tools support decision makers to find the best policies.Model-based system development is an approach where a model of the application domain is the central driving force when designing simulation tools.State-of-the-art techniques however still require both expert knowledge of the application
