- Ageing at work: capacity for the work of ESTeSC teachersPublication . Correia, T.; Simões, H.; Pereira, J.; Telo, E.; Cotrim, T. P.; Figueiredo, J.; Ferreira, A.Introduction: Aging does not necessarily mean a decrease in "ability to work" and that the eventual decline of certain skills related to increasing age are not generalizable, striking, or uniform and can be accelerated or delayed depending on the conditions of work, individuals and, above all, the types of attrition to which the worker is subjected. Objective: To evaluate the work ability index (WAI) of the professors of the School of Technology and Health of Coimbra (ESTeSC). Material and Methods: This study was an analytical observational and prospective cohort study. The respondents answered a questionnaire that assessed the WAI and the quality of life index (QLI). The results were evaluated in the IBM SPSS Statistics program through descriptive character tests and inference tests. Results: It was verified that an average value of 33.63 (7-49 scale) was identified for the work ability in the studied group, being this value belonging to the Moderate category. When correlating the age of workers with WAI and QLI, it was verified that there was no correlation (p> 0.05) between these factors. On the other hand, WAI was related to QLI, in which a correlation was observed (p<0,05), that is, the more satisfied they are with quality of life, the better the capacity for work. Conclusion: It was found that in the present study, aging does not cause a loss of capacity for work, nor does it influence the quality of life of workers. Since teachers' scores for WAI are in the Moderate category, it is necessary to implement health promotion strategies, such as practicing physical exercise or performing work-related gymnastics in the workplace.

- Interaction of fluorescence of resin cements with glass ceramicsPublication . Pereira, J.; Monteiro, P.; Maurício, P.; Serro, A. P.; di Paolo, R."Introduction: In aesthetic rehabilitations, we must take into account the primary and secondary optical properties. Objectives: To evaluate the emission intensity of fluorescence between resin cement and glass-ceramic. Materials and Methods: two self-adhesive resin cements were used, as well as glass ceramic discs and composite resin. The ceramic cylinders were cut with a thickness of 1 and 0.5 millimeters and were bonded to composite resin discs with 0.5mm and polymerized for 40 seconds, for a total of n = 100. Fluorescence spectrums were obtained in a spectrofluorometer at a wavelength of 380 nanometers. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test and one-way ANOVA, for a significance of p <0.05. Results: The samples of the control group were the ones who exhibited lower fluorescence with values of 1.99E13 a.u. in a thickness of 0.5mm and 2.95E13 a.u. in a thickness of 1 mm. In the samples of 1mm, all groups have similar values of fluorescence emission. In samples with 0.5mm, there are significant differences between each group (p <0.001) , in which the SCT group has higher fluorescence emission (1.06E14 a.u.). Conclusions: The thickness of the ceramic influences the final emission intensity of fluorescence. The emission intensity of fluorescence of the resin cements influences the final fluorescence of the glass ceramic. Clinical Implications: This study reveals the importance of the choice of the cement and ceramic thickness in a full ceramic rehabilitation."
