KL and LS demonstrated the ability to remove proteins and potentiate the anthocyanin concentration. LS reduced the tannin content and the interaction of salivary acidic proline-rich proteins with wine phenolic compounds. None of the lignin promoted a perceptible color change; however, the yellowish color of KL and OL at 100 g/hL contributed to an increase in the yellow tones of wines. Lignin improved wine aroma by reducing the amount of unwanted volatiles by 30% and increasing the content of ethyl esters associated with fruity aromas by up to 60%. The results suggest that lignin, especially LS, can be employed as a modulating agent, positively impacting wine's physicochemical properties. This valorization of a byproduct opens up new opportunities for the wine industry. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173819 Title: Património e paisagem: gestão, análise, projeto Abstract: Heritage and landscape are inseparable and central themes in contemporary society as a support for identity and a factor in sustainable socio-cultural and territorial development. This training unit is therefore intended to enrich and diversify the University of Porto (UP) training framework, boosting areas of interdisciplinary work between Architecture, History of Art, Landscape Architecture and Civil Engineering, which are fundamental to understanding the concept of heritage in its contemporary and broader sense - built and natural, material and immaterial. The aim is also to strengthen cooperation networks between different organic units at UP, using new tools, technologies and teaching, geared towards advanced training, but also fostering interactions with the civil community, institutions and cultural agents. The training unit proposes a critical approach to the concepts of heritage and cultural landscape, including their historical and theoretical foundations, methodological and design tools, as well as safeguarding and management instruments. In this way, the aim is to deepen knowledge of the history and theories of heritage intervention in a broad sense, with the aim of instructing and grounding contemporary practice of intervention in the built and the landscape, integrating an understanding of its multiple stratigraphies. Creditable as a University of Porto option curricular unit (MIARQ or 2nd cycle), singular curricular unit (diploma supplement) or continuous training unit / free course (3 ECTS). Description: Património e paisagem são temáticas indissociáveis e centrais na sociedade contemporânea como suporte identitário e fator de um desenvolvimento sociocultural e territorial sustentável. Deste modo, com esta unidade de formação, propõe-se enriquecer e diversificar o quadro formativo da Universidade do Porto, potenciando áreas de trabalho interdisciplinar - entre Arquitetura, História de Arte, Arquitetura Paisagista e Engenharia Civil - fundamentais para uma compreensão do conceito de património na sua aceção contemporânea e alargada - construído e natural, material e imaterial. Deste modo, pretende-se também reforçar redes de cooperação entre diferentes unidades orgânicas da Universidade do Porto, com recurso à exploração de novas ferramentas, tecnologias e práticas pedagógicas, orientadas para a formação avançada, mas também potenciando interações com a comunidade civil, instituições e agentes culturais. A unidade de formação propõe uma abordagem crítica aos conceitos de património e de paisagem cultural, incluindo os seus fundamentos históricos e teóricos, as ferramentas metodológicas e de projeto, bem como os instrumentos de salvaguarda e gestão. Deste modo, pretende-se aprofundar o conhecimento no âmbito da intervenção no património e na paisagem em sentido lato, com a finalidade de instruir e fundamentar uma prática contemporânea de intervenção no construído e na paisagem, integrando o entendimento das suas múltiplas estratigrafias. Esta unidade de formação é creditável como unidade de formação de opção da Universidade do Porto (MIARQ ou 2.º ciclo), unidade de formação singular (suplemento ao diploma) ou unidade de formação contínua / curso livre (3 ECTS). 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/174016 Title: Tecnologias digitais na disciplina de Matemática: Potencialidades e desafios 2025-12-15T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/174015 Title: Algorithms for Art Gallery Problems with Rook and Queen Vision 2025-12-18T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/152995 Title: Antifouling Marine Coatings with a Potentially Safer and Sustainable Synthetic Polyphenolic Derivative Abstract: The development of harmless substances to replace biocide-based coatings used to prevent or manage marine biofouling and its unwanted consequences is urgent. The formation of biofilms on submerged marine surfaces is one of the first steps in the marine biofouling process, which facilitates the further settlement of macrofoulers. Anti-biofilm properties of a synthetic polyphenolic compound, with previously described anti-settlement activity against macrofoulers, were explored in this work. In solution this new compound was able to prevent biofilm formation and reduce a pre-formed biofilm produced by the marine bacterium, Pseudoalteromonas tunicata. Then, this compound was applied to a marine coating and the formation of P. tunicata biofilms was assessed under hydrodynamic conditions to mimic the marine environment. For this purpose, polyurethane (PU)-based coating formulations containing 1 and 2 wt.% of the compound were prepared based on a prior developed methodology. The most effective formulation in reducing the biofilm cell number, biovolume, and thickness was the PU-based coating containing an aziridine-based crosslinker and 2 wt.% of the compound. To assess the marine ecotoxicity impact of this compound, its potential to disrupt endocrine processes was evaluated through the modulation of two nuclear receptors (NRs), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma), and pregnane X receptor (PXR). Transcriptional activation of the selected NRs upon exposure to the polyphenolic compound (10 mu M) was not observed, thus highlighting the eco-friendliness towards the addressed NRs of this new dual-acting anti-macro- and anti-microfouling agent towards the addressed NRs. 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173808 Title: Internacionalização em contexto escolar: Potenciar a diversidade e internacionalização na formação de professores Abstract: This chapter aims to present and discuss the Continuing Training Unit (UFC) Internationalisation at home: Promoting diversity and internationalisation in teacher training, which results from the participation of its pedagogical team in the ERASMUS+ DITE project - Diverse Internationalisation of Teacher Education (2021-1-PL01-KA220-HED-000031129). It is aimed at promoting the dimensions of inclusion and internationalisation in Initial Teacher Education (ITE), aiming to provide trainees with the ability to work from international positions and towards welcoming diversity. This UFC understands internationalisation in Teacher Education (FP) as an intentional process that aims to ensure the quality of teaching and research in students, technicians, and staff of the institutions where it develops, which will extend as a significant social contribution. In this sense, it becomes relevant to provide students of ITE courses with the ability to work from international positions, today referred to as global and multicultural. Therefore, the work of this UFC is based on a strong interdisciplinary approach, inviting students from the different Organic Units (UO) of the University of Porto to deepen their competences to work in increasingly plural educational contexts and societies. The encouragement of interdisciplinary work is reflected in the composition of the teaching team itself, which brings together trainers from the five UO that ensure ITE at the University of Porto. Description: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir a unidade de formação contínua (UFC) Internacionalização em contexto escolar: potenciar a diversidade e internacionalização na formação de professores (ICE), que resulta da participação da sua equipa pedagógica no projeto ERASMUS+ DITE - Diverse Internationalisation of Teacher Education (2021-1-PL01-KA220-HED-000031129) e está orientada para a promoção das dimensões da inclusão e da internacionalização na Formação Inicial de Professores (FIP), objetivando proporcionar aos formandos a capacidade de trabalhar a partir de posições internacionais e orientadas para o acolhimento da diversidade. Esta UFC compreende a internacionalização na Formação de Professores (FP) como um processo intencional que pretende assegurar a qualidade do ensino e da investigação nos estudantes, técnicos e funcionários das instituições onde esta se desenvolve, que se estenderá como um contributo social significativo. Neste contexto, torna-se relevante proporcionar aos estudantes dos cursos de FIP a capacidade de trabalhar a partir de posições internacionais, hoje referidas como globais e multiculturais. Por conseguinte, o trabalho desta UFC elabora-se a partir de um forte pendor interdisciplinar, convocando estudantes de mestrados em ensino das diferentes unidades orgânicas (UO) da Universidade do Porto a aprofundarem as suas competências para atuar em contextos educativos e sociedades cada vez mais plurais. O incentivo ao trabalho interdisciplinar está plasmado na própria composição da equipa pedagógica que reúne formadores das cinco UO que asseguram a FIP na Universidade do Porto. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173894 Title: Identity and Trust based on Hardware for IoT 2026-03-11T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173885 Title: Highly available and Fault Tolerant IoT Architectures 2025-12-10T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173427 Title: Microfluidic System for Detecting an Antibiotic 2025-12-16T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/101059 Title: Design of novel 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone iron chelators to fight mycobacterium infection 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/164673 Title: Movement, behaviour and microclimate habitat requirements of endangered  grassland birds in a warming world 2024-04-04T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173830 Title: Light-responsive nanocarriers based on the chalcone/flavylium photoswitch for controlled drug and gene delivery 2026-03-24T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173815 Title: Automatic Detection of Personal Information in Tabular Data 2025-12-10T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173813 Title: "Videodesafio": entre o coaching educativo e a produção de conteúdo digital 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173802 Title: Addressing Data Scarcity in Cardiac MRI Segmentation with Anatomy-Compliant Image-to-Image Translation via Latent Diffusion Models 2024-11-07T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173800 Title: Preparação de novos compósitos e sua aplicação na (foto)degradação de corantes 2024-07-29T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173795 Title: Passengers Request Aggregation and Dynamic Vehicle Routing 2024-12-13T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173683 Title: Fire-smart landscape management toward sustainable mountains under climate change and rural transition scenarios 2026-02-10T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173773 Title: Preliminary Insights into the Design of Antioxidant Dendritic System for Neuroprotection 2025-12-17T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10216/173772 Title: Matlis' Theory for Noncommutative Rings 2025-11-26T00:00:00Z
