  • Increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma based on solar ultraviolet radiation measurements from outdoor workers in Lisbon, Portugal

    Open AccessMarília Silva Paulo, Maria Miguel Castela et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Introduction Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is one of the main causes of skin cancer, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being particularly prevalent among outdoor workers due to chronic UVR exposure. Despite the increasing incidence of SCC in this group, cases remain under-reported and are not always classified as an occupational disease. Current guidelines for UVR exposure are established for a limit of 30 J/m 2 over an 8-h workday, and they…

  • Occupational exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation among outdoor workers in Lisbon, 2023—first results of the Meaow study

    Open AccessFernanda Carvalho, Claudine Strehl et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the primary external factor associated with the development of skin cancer. Accurate, valid, and reliable objective estimates of individual UVR exposure are required to quantify the risk of skin cancer in outdoor workers. Such data can be used to develop and implement policies and practices to reduce, or at least manage, UVR exposure in outdoor workers. Currently, there is a dearth of obj…

  • Vinyl- and Polyurethane-Coated Fabrics in Fashion Collections

    Open AccessJoana Tomás Ferreira, Adriana Rizzo et al.ARTICLEHeritage2025

    Coated fabrics featuring plasticised poly(vinyl chloride) (p-PVC) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) coatings are widespread in fashion collections. These materials pose significant conservation challenges due to their production and chemical variability, coupled with issues of rapid deterioration. Despite their prevalence and instability, systematic research on their composition and ageing behaviour remains limited, as most studies rely mainly…

  • Historical lime‐based flooring mortars from the Church of Santa Maria de Alcobaça monastery (12th century), Portugal

    Open AccessFernanda Carvalho, Ana Nunes et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2024References: 25

    The Monastery of Alcobaça houses in reserve the ceramic tiles that adorned the floor of the church's apse. These tiles were removed during rehabilitation works and many preserve part of their original fixing mortars. A comprehensive analysis of 21 samples was conducted using a multi‐analytical approach (X‐ray fluorescence, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy–energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, μ‐Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetry–…

  • Digitally measuring solar ultraviolet radiation in outdoor workers

    Open AccessMarília Silva Paulo, Cara Symanzik et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: The rising incidence of skin cancer over the years has made it a significant public and occupational health issue. However, skin cancer is highly preventable, mainly through reduced exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which can be achieved by a variety of individual and collective protective measures and interventions. The relative risk associated with different patterns of exposure to solar UVR differs for the subtypes o…

  • Atividades Instrumentais De Vida Diária E Sintomatologia Depressiva Em Idosos Comunitários

    Introdução: as atividades instrumentais de vida diária (AIVD) são essenciais para que o indivíduo idoso atue de forma independente na comunidade. Estudos têm reportado associação entre as AIVD e a sintomatologia depressiva em idosos. Objetivos: verificar, em idosos comunitários, se a dependência nas AIVD e a sintomatologia depressiva diferem em relação ao sexo e à faixa etária, e se há correlação entre as AIVD e a sintomatologia depressiva. Métod…

  • Decay products of historical cements from the Palace of Knossos, Crete, Greece

    Open AccessFernanda Carvalho, Maria Margarida Rolim Augusto Lima et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage2023

    The Palace of Knossos, located on the island of Crete, Greece, is one of Europe's most important archaeological sites, serving as a testament to the Minoan civilization. Situated near the Mediterranean Sea, it is in close proximity to the seaport, airport, and industrial areas. Decay products commonly found in historical monuments within or near urban areas, such as black crusts and salt efflorescence, are also prevalent at the Palace of Knossos.…

    Open AccessFernanda Carvalho, Andreia A S Lopes et al.ARTICLEHeritage2018References: 2

    Good conservation and restoration practices of cultural heritage assets rely on the knowledge of original materials. In the framework of the HERACLES Project (HERACLES—HEritage Resilience Against CLimate Events on Site, H2020 Grant Agreement 700395), dealing with the effects of climatic actions and natural hazards on built heritage, a set of important heritage sites are currently under study to improve their resilience against climate events. Amo…

  • The Cistercian glazed tiles of the Monastery of Alcobaça

    Fernanda Carvalho, Susana Coentro et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medieval Iberian Studies2016Cited by: 2References: 4

    The glazed tiles that paved the apse of the Monastery of St. Mary of Alcobaça were a rare decorative element in the most important part of this Cistercian construction. These medieval tiles, all monochromatic, are believed to be a thirteenth-century production and represent some of the first examples of tin-opacified glazed tiles in Christian Portugal. Although lead glazes have been extensively used in medieval pavements in North-Western Europe, …
