Efeito da exposição prolongada a ruído ocupacional na função respiratória de trabalhadores da indústria têxtil [PDF]
Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia, 2006 AbstractVibroacoustic disease is a pathology caused by long occupational exposure to large pressure amplitude and low frequency noise. It is a systemic disease, with evolvement of respiratory structures. The exposure workers to this noise of textile industry may favour alterations in lung function.

Conservation beyond boundaries: using animal movement networks in protected area assessment
Animal Conservation, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 753-765, December 2023., 2023 Connectivity between sites can mediate the spatial extent and severity of environmental impacts such as disturbance. In this study, we apply network analysis to a long‐term capture–mark–recapture dataset to evaluate connectivity of the Black‐tailed Godwit population of the Tagus estuary, Portugal, and how it may be altered by a proposed airport ...

Drone‐induced flight initiation distances for shorebirds in mixed‐species flocks
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1816-1827, September 2023., 2023 We conclude that (i) drone use needs to be carefully regulated to ensure roosting shorebird flocks are not approached within distances that will disturb the most sensitive species likely to be present, (ii) researchers contemplating drone surveys need to carefully evaluate the risk of disturbance, especially where there are mixed‐species flocks, and ...

Disputes between neighbors in Mexican cities during the COVID‐19 pandemic
Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 626-643, April 2023., 2023 Abstract We estimate the effect of the COVID‐19 pandemic lockdown on disputes between neighbors using a panel of 70 cities from across Mexico and a difference‐in‐difference strategy. Our results show that the lockdown exacerbated disputes related to pets as nuisances by 45%, noise by 31%, unruly children by 23%, and garbage by 22%.

Modelling ecological communities when composition is manipulated experimentally
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 696-707, February 2023., 2023 Abstract In an experimental setting, the composition of ecological communities can be manipulated directly. Starting from a pool of n species, it is possible to co‐culture species in different combinations, ranging from monocultures, to pairs, and all the way up to the full species pool.

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 21, Page 6318-6332, November 2022., 2022 In the Mediterranean region, island ecosystem dynamics have been influenced by millennia of anthropogenic impacts. Here, we analysed the spatio‐temporal dynamics of vegetation in sa Dragonera, where herbivory by goats, over‐logging and rat occurrence ended in the last decades.

History, Volume 107, Issue 377, Page 765-788, September 2022., 2022 Abstract This article explores how during Spain's transition to democracy in the 1970s and 1980s, Francoist disabled veterans of the Spanish Civil War navigated the disappearance of formerly hegemonic historical narratives which had hitherto defined their relationship with the state.

A bridge too far for artificial intelligence?: Automatic classification of stanzas in Spanish poetry
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 258-267, February 2022., 2022 Abstract The rise in artificial intelligence and natural language processing techniques has increased considerably in the last few decades. Historically, the focus has been primarily on texts expressed in prose form, leaving mostly aside figurative or poetic expressions of language due to their rich semantics and syntactic complexity.

Trends and knowledge gaps in field research investigating effects of anthropogenic noise
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 115-129, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Anthropogenic noise is a globally widespread sensory pollutant, recognized as having potentially adverse effects on function, demography, and physiology in wild animals. Human population growth and associated changes in urbanization, transportation, and resource extraction all contribute to anthropogenic noise and are predicted to increase in ...
