- Combining lean and green practices to achieve a superior performance: The contribution for a sustainable development and competitiveness—An empirical study on the Portuguese contextPublication . Teixeira, Pedro; Coelho, Arnaldo; Fontoura, Pedro; Sá, José Carlos; Silva, Francisco J. G.; Santos, Gilberto; Pinto Ferreira, LuísThis research assesses the lean and green (LG) practices' impact on the competitive advantage (CA) of organizations, through sustainable performance, considering lean maturity as the moderator. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a cross-sectional sample of 261 companies operating in Portugal. Hypotheses are tested through structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis to examine the lean maturity moderating role. Results demonstrate a positive impact of LG practices on sustainable development and that their three dimensions of CA, with lean maturity boosting most relationships. This research highlights the impact of LG practices on organization's competitiveness and helps them underpin the importance these practices when comes to enhance their sustainable performance and their CA with help of environmental policy and also stakeholder engagement. Future studies should address these relationships upon a specific dimension, namely the correlation between environmental performance and CA, as it was not dealt in this study.
- Mobile application for cardiovascular risk assessmentPublication . Teixeira, Pedro; Miranda, Leonor; Pinto, Mário; Miranda, LeonorCardiovascular risk assessment plays a crucial role in the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, which are one of the leading causes of global morbid-ity and mortality. Modern society has benefited from portable and accessible means of assessing cardiovas-cular risk through contemporary technological trends. This effort is aligned with the scientific community’s mission to reduce disability and mortality associated with cardiovascular pathologies, such as myocardi-al infarction or stroke, widely recognized in scientif-ic literature. The development and incorporation of cardiovascular risk assessment tools can be consid-ered accessible and effective strategies, both in the primary and secondary prevention of these diseases in the context of today’s highly technological society, and can also contribute to a significant advance, sup-ported by scientific evidence. This paper describes all phases of project development, covering the entire life cycle of a Web product development: project plan-ning, state-of-the-art study, technical design process, prototyping and application development (methods and techniques, software implementation). This appli-cation may contribute to reducing cardiovascular risk and to the promotion of cardiovascular health literacy.
