Wine producers are now fully aware of the water-energy nexus, given the challenges created by climate change. By identifying potential environmental impacts of the wine industry, related to water and fossil energy use, wineries are taking action to improve their performance. This chapter reviews a set of technologies and strategies that can lead wineries to implement a regenerative approach, minimizing resource...
This paper analyses the influence that career choice intentions, including entrepreneurial intentions, have on new venture creation among African university students. In addition to that, we explore how social context may affect new venture creation, considering the inner circle of entrepreneurs, the organizational environment and the broader environment. To test our hypotheses, we used data from the 2018 Globa...
This study developed a method for furosemide quantification through high performance liquid chromatographic technique. Special attention was given to solute loss and storage stability due to furosemide’s low solubility and photosensitivity, respectively. The performance of Nylon and PVDF filters was tested in a 2 mg.L-1 furosemide solution. PVDF filters showed better recovery capacity and therefore are more sui...
The potential of Iris pseudacorus and Typha domingensis to remove the pharmaceutical active compound (PhAC) Furosemide from a nutrient solution was assessed. Both plants were exposed to 2 mg L−1 of furosemide during 21 days and the removal of furosemide was monitored. Vessels without furosemide were also implemented as control systems for plants development. Likewise, unplanted vessels with furosemide were empl...

A avaliação da sustentabilidade da cadeia vitivinícola deverá permitir identificar pontos críticos e quantificar eventuais impactes ambientais. Por outro lado, a variabilidade das condições climáticas no Mediterrâneo e a tendência para eventos climáticos mais extremos (secas severas, ondas de calor) colocam desafios crescentes ao setor vitivinícola na região, nomeadamente em termos da sua sustentabilidade. O us...
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo mensurar a densidade de relacionamentos entre os atores da cadeia produtiva de filé de tilápia do oeste paranaense para identificar possíveis lideranças capazes de articular as relações, visando à melhoria da competitividade, mediante a implementação de uma possível estratégia de indicação geográfica. Os critérios adotados para a mensuração abrangeram a existência de troca de in...

Mediterranean forests contain a relevant biological diversity and are relevant for local economy. However, they are subject to various risks, particularly the risk of forest fires. This turns the critical decisions of forest managers, affecting both the long-term future of the forest and daily activities, to be difficult. To simulate decisions, and help managers and policy makers, a decision support system, whi...
Foi recentemente elaborado o Plano Regional de Inovação do Alentejo, que constitui na região a base para elaborar o próximo plano operacional que fomentará a inovação. O sector agro-alimentar é considerado entre os mais relevantes para a promoção da inovação na região. Este trabalho tem por objectivo divulgar no seio do ICAM a estratégia de inovação adoptada para o Alentejo e incentivar as suas unidades investi...
