- CHATGPT in the context of higher education: the case of its application in a curricular unitPublication . Costa, A.; Viegas, C.; Lima, N.; Caldeira, A.In recent years the use of AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, has been widespread. In education, students tend to be attracted to their use. As for teachers, the use of these applications divides opinions: some defend the use of these tools, others feel threatened by them. In recent years, a number of studies have been carried out to assess students' perceptions of the use of AI tools and ChatGPT in particular. Despite this, little work has been done to produce guidelines for the use of ChatGPT by teachers and students, particularly those that emphasize the need to use it critically, ethically and with the ability to check bibliographic sources. In this communication, we will try to overcome this gap. In this paper we present the case of an work carried out as part of a course unit in which the use of ChatGPT was not only allowed, but encouraged. We also asked the students to comment on the work carried out and the use of ChatGPT. A content analysis was carried out and the results are presented here. Results showed that students were motivated to carry out the work and understood that its widespread use requires critical thinking and compliance with ethical principles. The teacher acknowledge that some students developed some competences while performing this task and were able to delivered a quality, well supported essay. These competences development was also identified by some students. We conclude by presenting some guidelines to help teachers use ChatGPT in the context of academic work.
- Controlling the operating conditions in an Operating RoomPublication . Rosa, C.; Costa, A.; Fernandes, E.; Cardoso, F.; Guimarães, P. S.; Alves, J.; Silva, I.; Marques, M. A.In this paper, we describe the development of a module capable of controlling environmental conditions, personnel movement and management of other important parameters for an operating room (OR) or surgery block. The base of assembly uses a real-life small scale model trying to simulate the systematic functionality of an OR as well as its crucial components. These include the regulation of environmental parameters, logging of entries and exits by the staff, management of pharmaceutical drugs and diseases, and the statistical analysis of several acquired data. The project integrates different types of technologies, such as the microcontroller Arduino, a bidirectional communication interface between this device and a computer, a web based user interface for dynamic interaction, as well as database concepts for data management.

A.; Lopes, Cristina; Vasconcelos, M. J.; Teixeira, M. F.; Taborda-Barata, L.; Cálix, M. J.; Alves, A.; Almeida Fonseca, J.InspirerMundi app aims to transform adherence into a positive experience through gamification and social support, while allowing objective monitoring of inhaler adherence. This study assessed the feasibility of the app in adolescents and adults with persistent asthma.
- Level of physical activity and body image in Portuguese and French students, 1st year of PhysiotherapyPublication . Baptista, A.; Costa, A.; Martins, J.; Simões, D.; Brochado, G.; Lopes, SofiaAdolescents have a physiological need to move, therefore physical activity should be encouraged at an early age. In young adults, there are also various physical and psychological transformations. Associated with these transformations, there is a will to fit in the patterns of society’s beauty and, sometimes, a consequent bodily dissatisfaction. Thus, it is necessary to encourage physical activity, for its benefits.
- Level of physical activity of the Portuguese and French students in physiotherapy coursePublication . Costa, A.; Baptista, A.; Martins, J.; Brochado, G.; Simões, A.; Lopes, SofiaPhysical activity (PA) comprises any kind of energetic expenditure above the stationary level and it is associated to the well being, life quality and health enhancement. Nowadays, he practice of PA is tending to decrease among university students. It is imperative that those students have the base concepts of PA and healthy habits so that they can alert and modify the community habits and mindsets in the future.
- Modulation of oxidative stress with Vitamin E in Sacharomyces cerevisiaePublication . Alves, M.; Cunha, Sofia; Costa, A.; Nascimento, Ana Paula; Vieira da Silva, Manuela; Prudêncio, CristinaNeurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease or Alzheimer’s Disease, are characterized by the death of a subset of neurons over long periods of time.
- Physical activity level in Physical Therapy studentsPublication . Martins, J.; Costa, A.; Baptista, A.; Brochado, G.; Simões, G.; Lopes, SofiaPhysical activity is defined as any body movement that requests energy expenditure. The practice of physical activity allows to reinforce and increase the capacity of muscular-skeletal response and an improvement of physical aptitude. Currently, has been verified that university students have been decreasing healthy lifestyles and increasing their degree of sedentary lifestyle. Thus, it’s essential the Higher Education Institutions present themselves as a way to promote the practice of physical activity and contemplating it in the basic formation.

M.; Ferreira, R.; Freitas, P.; Lopes, F.; Fonseca, J. AlmeidaAssessment of asthma control at every opportunity is recommended. Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) is a patient reported outcome measure commonly used to assess asthma control in clinical practice.It includes ten questions answered in a 4 point Like rt scale that address upper and lower airway symptoms, sleep interference, limitation of activities , and the need to increase medication over a 4 week period. CARAT is frequently administered on paper during medical visits, but digital versions through website and mobile apps are available.
