Relatório de Estágio Curricular – SIC (Covilhã)

Este relatório foi realizado no âmbito da conclusão do curso de licenciatura em Comunicação Multimédia, no qual foram realizadas 400 horas de estágio na Delegação da SIC (Sociedade Independente de Comunicação), na Covilhã. Ao longo do relatório, será apresentado o trabalho que foi desenvolvido no estágio, sendo ele teórico e/ou prático, demonstrando o trabalho realizado no terreno e apresentando algumas das dif...

A horizon scan exercise for aquatic invasive alien species in Iberian inland wa...

As the number of introduced species keeps increasing unabatedly, identifying and prioritising current and potential Invasive Alien Species (IAS) has become essential to manage them. Horizon Scanning (HS), defined as an exploration of potential threats, is considered a fundamental component of IAS management. By combining scientific knowledge on taxa with expert opinion, we identified the most relevant aquatic I...

As the number of introduced species keeps increasing unabatedly, identifying and prioritising current and potential In-vasive Alien Species (IAS) has become essential to manage them. Horizon Scanning (HS), defined as an exploration of potential threats, is considered a fundamental component of IAS management. By combining scientific knowledge on taxa with expert opinion, we identified the most relevant aquatic ...

A multi-taxa assessment of aquatic non-indigenous species introduced into Iber...

Aquatic ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to the introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS), lead-ing to multi-faceted ecological, economic and health impacts worldwide. The Iberian Peninsula comprises an exceptionally biodiverse Mediterranean region with a high number of threatened and endemic aquatic species, most of them strongly impacted by biological invasions. Following a structured approach that c...

A global review and meta-analysis of applications of the freshwater Fish Invasi...

The freshwater Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit (FISK) has been applied in 35 risk assessment areas in 45 countries across the six inhabited continents (11 applications using FISK v1; 25 using FISK v2). The present study aimed: to assess the breadth of FISK applications and the confidence (certainty) levels associated with the decision-support tool’s 49 questions and its ability to distinguish between taxa of lo...

“Playing with sounds”: A phonological awareness development programme.

Phonological awareness is known as a metalinguistic skill that consciously allows learners to reflect on and manipulate the sounds that compose oral language – speech. The development of phonological awareness is a very important primary skill for the subsequent learning of reading and writing skills. Therefore, due to the lack of preparation in this field in the early training stage of kindergarten educators, ...

Three dimensional simulation of partially encased beams at elevated temperatures

Partially Encased Beams (PEBs) are composite steel and concrete elements in which the web of the steel section is encased by reinforced concrete. The experimental investigation was already verified under fire and under elevated temperatures [1-2]. The bending resistance for three bending point configuration, at four temperature levels (20, 200, 400 and 600 ºC) is determined, based on the three dimensional finit...

Bending resistance of partially encased beams at elevated temperature: advanced...

Partially Encased Beams (PEBs) are composite steel and concrete elements in which the web of the steel section is encased by reinforced concrete. The experimental investigation of the bending resistance was already verified in fire and under elevated temperature (Paulo A. G. Piloto el al., 2013a) (Paulo A. G. Piloto el al., 2013b). The three-dimensional finite element solution, with precise detail of each compo...

Partially encased section: strength and stiffness under fire conditions

Fire resistance of partially encased sections (HEB and IPE) depends on the temperature evolution during fire exposure. Eurocode 4, part 1.2 [1], proposes the assessment of the cross section using the method of the four components under fire (flanges, web, concrete and reinforcement). This study aims to assess the balanced summation model of Eurocode (informative annex G) with respect to the plastic resistance t...
