Background. The mental health of university students has worsened over time, and it is young people who have suffered the most from COVID-19 pandemic in terms health. Anxiety depression are common symptoms reported by often cause disabilities, either academic performance or other spheres life. Aim. aim this study was to both assess prevalence depressive anxiety Portuguese analyze factors associated with these symptoms. Methods. A quantitative cross-sectional a sample 3,399 seven higher...
The influence of carbon dioxide and steam as activating agents on the porosity development activated carbons produced from walnut shells was investigated. study made covering a wide range burnoff (12−76%) employing different temperatures times: in activation, 850 °C varying activation time 60−480 min, 700, 850, 900 (for 30−120 min). It found that gasifying agent has profound development. First, is more reactive produces, general, with greater N2 adsorption capacity. Second, increase fraction...
The aim of this work was to test activated carbons derived from hydrochars produced sunflower stem, olive stone and walnut shells, as adsorbents for emerging contaminants in aqueous solution, namely fluoxetine nicotinic acid. adsorption capacity determined by the chemical nature adsorbents, presence specific functional groups their positive or negative ionization solutions also steric factors. air showed a higher fluoxetine, whilst samples carbon dioxide activation were more useful remove In...
The rapid changes in the processes of human development during adolescence require constant adaptations individual and contexts which they have lived.These adjustments are crucial to health adolescent, family community, implications on subsequent stages life course.This article aims stimulate a reflection relationship between promotion adolescent health.Primarily, we discuss complexity concept adolescence, must be understood its diversity not simply through milestones chronological or...
The increase in agricultural production and food quality has forced the growing use of plastics various activities. plastic wastes are partially recycled or outside Portugal; nevertheless, contaminated sent to landfill. It is crucial consider new models for their valorization at a regional level from circular economy perspective. In scope Placarvões project, study was elaborated, which included types quantities used irrigation area Alqueva Dam, southern Portugal. crops that most intensive...
Abstract The production of activated carbons (ACs) from dirty plastic wastes derived the mechanical/biological treatment urban solid wastes, disposable plastics and used in agriculture is reported. use these precursors innovative contributes to circular economy by valorization that are usually disposed landfills. ACs were produced physical activation, with air or CO 2 , chemical KOH K 3 . presented a BET (N ) area pore volume up 723 m /g 0.32 cm /g. Selected samples tested for...
