Boosting knowledge on occupational exposure to microbial contamination in Portuguese carpentries
Introduction Wood industry workers face health risks due to exposure to microorganisms and their metabolites. This study aimed to characterize seasonal microbial contamination, antifungal resistance, mycotoxins, cytotoxicity, and particulate matter in Portuguese carpentries, to reduce exposure and promote safe working conditions. Methods Conducted in six carpentries in Lisbon, Portugal, the sampling strategy encompassed active and passive samplin…
Unraveling the occupational exposure to mycotoxins in a waste management setting
Introduction: Waste management represents an occupational setting where fungi are significant contaminants. This study aimed to assess the exposure of waste workers to mycotoxins through a human biomonitoring study. Methods: A total of 33 workers and 19 controls provided spot urine samples to determine 10 mycotoxins' urinary biomarkers using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Risk characterization was performed using hazard quo…
Direct economic burden of acute coronary syndromes in the Portuguese National Health Service—facts and trends between 2002 and 2022
Aim: We estimated the average direct cost per Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) in-patient episodes by diagnosis, namely ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), unstable angina (UA), and undetermined AMI (Acute Myocardial Infarction). We also analyzed the changes in direct costs over time between 2002 and 2022, and the total direct economic burden of ACS hospitalizations for the Portuguese Nationa…
The role of burden of disease estimates in European Union Health policymaking
BACKGROUND: The use of burden of disease (BoD) metrics in policymaking is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. However, there is currently no information available regarding their utilisation in policies at the European level. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyse the use of BoD metrics within the European legislation. METHODS: Systematic searches on EUR-Lex were conducted for documents published between 2004 and 2023, to account for Euro…
Death Images in Michael Haneke’s Films
Although meditating on death has long been a central philosophical practice and is gaining prominence in modern European public discourse, certain misconceptions still persist. The Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke does not shy away from confronting real and performed images of death, combining a denouncing cinematic approach with no less polemic aesthetic and ethical theories. Certainly, visually shocking and disturbing films can, in their own w…
Assessment of the microbial contamination in “Do It Yourself” (DIY) stores - a holistic approach to protect workers’ and consumers’ health
Introduction In “Do-It-Yourself” (DIY) stores, workers from the wood department are considered woodworkers. Given the health risks associated with woodworking, particularly from fungi and their metabolites, this study aims to assess microbial contamination and health risks for both workers and customers. Methods The study was developed in 13 DIY stores in Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Portugal. It employed a comprehensive sampling approach combining …
Portuguese cork industry
Introduction The presence of the Penicillium section Aspergilloides (formerly known as Penicillium glabrum ) in the cork industry involves the risk of respiratory diseases such as suberosis. Methods The aim of this study was to corroborate the predominant fungi present in this occupational environment by performing a mycological analysis of 360 workers’ nasal exudates collected by nasal swabs. Additionally, evaluation of respiratory disorders amo…
Comprehensive assessment of occupational exposure to microbial contamination in waste sorting facilities from Norway
Introduction It is of upmost importance to contribute to fill the knowledge gap concerning the characterization of the occupational exposure to microbial agents in the waste sorting setting (automated and manual sorting). Methods This study intends to apply a comprehensive field sampling and laboratory protocol (culture based-methods and molecular tools), assess fungal azole resistance, as well as to elucidate on potential exposure related health…
Death as Film-Philosophy’s Muse
This article explores the affinities between film and philosophy by returning to a shared meditation on death and the nature of time. Death has been considered the muse of philosophy and can also be considered the muse of film-philosophy. But what does it mean to say that to film-philosophise is to learn to die, or a kind of training for dying? Film is an artistic object that reminds us of death’s inevitability; it is a meditation on the transien…
Cinema e o Sonho Implicado
Os estudos deleuzianos sobre o cinema destacam a importância dos dois regimes semióticos (imagem-movimento e imagem-tempo) para a compreensão da nossa relação estética e epistemológica com as imagens em movimento. Pelo contrário, este artigo procura destacar os momentos de crise entre os dois regimes assinalando o carácter genérico de incerteza e ambiguidade da natureza das imagens mentais: enfraquecido o esquema sensório-motor que domina na mont…
Deleuze and Film's Philosophical Value
Neste ensaio analiso as diferentes modalidades de pensamento que ocorrem entre a filosofia e as imagens em movimento partindo da distinção metafilosófica elaborada por Gilles Deleuze entre "pensar" e "filosofar". Esta é uma distinção fundamental para a possível elaboração de uma filosofia do cinema, ou, pelo menos, para afirmar que "o cinema filosofa", uma tese atualmente imersa num certo equívoco. Neste sentido, como possível resolução para tal …
Gilles Deleuze and early cinema
Although the transition from the movement-image to the time-image is among the most commented-upon Deleuzian problems, Gilles Deleuze neglected the previous transition from ‘images in movement’ to the first regime of the movement-images. As my approach will be transhistorical, focusing especially on early silent movies and recently expanded cinema through early moving images (Lumière Brothers) and 1970s structural films (Malcolm Le Grice), I will…

Deleuze, leitor de Espinosa
Neste texto, procuro encontrar as origens de um dos mais importantes conceitos de Gilles Deleuze, o conceito de Imagem-tempo. Este conceito remete-nos para os primeiros textos de Deleuze dedicados à filosofia de Espinosa e ao problema do autómato espiritual e relaciona-se directamente com o problema da passividade/actividade do espectador. Ou seja, o conceito crucial na sua filosofia do cinema, a Imagem-tempo, esconde uma importante reflexão sobr…
