Os aditivos alimentares desempenham um papel vital na indústria alimentar moderna e são geralmente utilizados na manutenção da qualidade e das características dos alimentos, promovendo desta forma a segurança alimentar. Para garantir o consumo seguro de alimentos com aditivos, os Estados Membros da União Europeia devem estabelecer um sistema regular de vigilância para monitorização desse consumo. No sentido de obter essa informação, é necessário aplicar métodos de análise robustos de modo a quantificar os níveis dessas substâncias numa larga variedade de matrizes alimentares. O presente trabalho teve como objectivos: a determinação analítica do tipo e do teor de aditivos alimentares nos novos refrigerantes à base de água mineral através de um método de HPLC baseado na norma EN 12856, a validação do método analítico para a quantificação dos edulcorantes (acessulfame K, aspartame e sacarina) e dos conservantes (ácido sórbico e ácido benzóico) e a comparação dos resultados obtidos com os valores máximos permitidos pela legislação portuguesa. Dos refrigerantes à base de água existentes no mercado português, foram analisadas 34 amostras de diferentes marcas, para determinação do tipo e teor de aditivos. Na validação da metodologia foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: gama de trabalho, linearidade, sensibilidade, limite de detecção (LD), limite de quantificação (LQ), precisão (repetibilidade e precisão intermédia) e exactidão. Relativamente à análise dos edulcorantes, verificou-se a presença do acessulfame K em 12 refrigerantes numa concentração que oscilou entre 34 e 94 mg/L. O aspartame foi encontrado apenas em 5 amostras num intervalo de concentração de 36 a 159 mg/L e a sacarina não foi detectada. No caso dos conservantes, o ácido sórbico foi encontrado em 19 dos refrigerantes numa gama de concentração entre 109 e 283 mg/L enquanto que o ácido benzóico, presente em 18 amostras, apresentou um teor que variou entre 91 e 143 mg/L. Observou-se ainda que o teor de cada um dos aditivos nos diferentes refrigerantes não excedeu o limite máximo legislado.

Optical fiber microwires (OFMs) are nonlinear optical waveguides that support several spatial modes. The multimodal generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation (MM-GNLSE) is deduced taking into account the linear and nonlinear modal coupling. A detailed theoretical description of four-wave mixing (FWM) considering the modal coupling is developed. Both, the intramode and the intermode phase-matching conditions is calculated for an optical microwire in a strong guiding regime. Finally, the FWM dynamics is studied and the amplitude evolution of the pump beams, the signal and the idler are analyzed.

The purpose of this article is to analyse and evaluate the economical, energetic and environmental impacts of the increasing penetration of renewable energies and electrical vehicles in isolated systems, such as Terceira Island in Azores and Madeira Island. Given the fact that the islands are extremely dependent on the importation of fossil fuels - not only for the production of energy, but also for the transportation’s sector – it’s intended to analyse how it is possible to reduce that dependency and determine the resultant reduction of pollutant gas emissions. Different settings have been analysed - with and without the penetration of EVs. The Terceira Island is an interesting case study, where EVs charging during off-peak hours could allow an increase in geothermal power, limited by the valley of power demand. The percentage of renewable energy in the electric power mix could reach the 74% in 2030 while at the same time, it is possible to reduce the emissions of pollutant gases in 45% and the purchase of fossil fuels in 44%. In Madeira, apart from wind, solar and small hydro power, there are not so many endogenous resources and the Island’s emission factor cannot be so reduced as in Terceira. Although, it is possible to reduce fossil fuels imports and emissions in 1.8% in 2030 when compared with a BAU scenario with a 14% of the LD fleet composed by EVs.

Most of small islands around the world today, are dependent on imported fossil fuels for the majority of their energy needs especially for transport activities and electricity production. The use of locally renewable energy resources and the implementation of energy efficiency measures could make a significant contribution to their economic development by reducing fossil fuel imports. An electrification of vehicles has been suggested as a way to both reduce pollutant emissions and increase security of supply of the transportation sector by reducing the dependence on oil products imports and facilitate the accommodation of renewable electricity generation, such as wind and, in the case of volcanic islands like Sao Miguel (Azores) of the geothermal energy whose penetration has been limited by the valley electricity consumption level. In this research, three scenarios of EV penetration were studied and it was verified that, for a 15% LD fleet replacement by EVs with 90% of all energy needs occurring during the night, the accommodation of 10 MW of new geothermal capacity becomes viable. Under this scenario, reductions of 8% in electricity costs, 14% in energy, 23% in fossil fuels use and CO2 emissions for the transportation and electricity production sectors could be expected.

A 30-year-old black woman presented with heartburn and odynophagia. She had a 2-year history of Behçet’s disease and systemic lupus erythematosus and had been treated with colchicine, hydroxychloroquine, and sucralfate. Odynophagia was not related to the presence of oral ulcers as they were painless and when they were in remission the patient would still intermittently complain of substernal pain. The patient underwent upper digestive endoscopy that revealed only small mucosal irregularities in the upper third of the esophagus. Biopsies of these segments showed marked acanthosis and papillomatosis of the squamous epithelium as well as intense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with an increased number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL). There were neither granulocytes nor signs of viral infection. The endoscopic findings were then attributed to regenerative changes of the epithelium and the patient was started on a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), assuming gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). During the following years there were flare-ups of rheumatologic disease activity due to the patient’s lack of adherence to therapy. However, there was no correlation of the patient’s maintained (although scarce) complaints of transitory dysphagia and substernal pain.
