This paper explores Agnès Vardas’ first documentaries: Ô saisons, ô châteaux (1957) and Du côté de la côte (1958), two films that were commissioned to her by the Office de Tourisme de France. Taking the link between travel and film as a starting point – a link that is present in travelogues, exploration films and tourist films – our journey through these short films is based both on the analysis of the films th...
The following paper proposes a study of the concepts associated with native advertising, a new iteration of the advertorial. Native advertising is a growing form of digital communication used by corporations to market their products in an online setting. Because of the fact that consumers are becoming gradually less receptive to traditional forms of advertisement, marketers have been exponentially resorting to ...
This paper presents a proposal for a video installation that combines pre-cinematic works and devices with images generated by the Artificial Intelligence program Deforum Stable Diffusion.; O presente artigo apresenta uma proposta de uma videoinstalação que combina obras e dispositivos pré-cinemáticos com imagens geradas pelo programa de Inteligência Artificial Deforum Stable Diffusion.
The present research intended to investigate the toxicity abatement of domestic wastewater after passing a biosystem composed of a constructed wetland (CW) followed by a pond. The wastewater was generated in a tourism house in a rural and mountainous context and passed through a septic tank before being diverted to a CW followed by a pond. A battery of ecotoxicological tests, comprising microalgae (Raphidocelis...
This work describes the protocol developed for preparing an artificial digested sludge to be used for the ecotoxicological evaluation and risk assessment of chemical substances that are previewed to attain the soil through sewage sludge applications for fertilization (e.g. pharmaceutical compounds). Such evaluations have been made with standard protocols for ecotoxicological tests with terrestrial species in wh...
In order to regulate the management of contaminated land, many countries have been deriving soil screening values (SSV). However, the ecotoxicological data available for uranium is still insufficient and incapable to generate SSVs for European soils. In this sense, and so as to make up for this shortcoming, a battery of ecotoxicological assays focusing on soil functions and organisms, and a wide range of endpoi...
Site-specific risk assessment of contaminated areas indicates prior areas for intervention, and provides helpful information for risk managers. This study was conducted in the Ervedosa mine area (Bragança, Portugal), where both underground and open pit exploration of tin and arsenic minerals were performed for about one century (1857-1969). We aimed at obtaining ecotoxicological information with terrestrial and...
O Couto Mineiro de Ervedosa localiza-se nas freguesias de Ervedosa e Vale das Fontes, concelho de Vinhais e está inserido na Região Natural de Bragança exibindo uma complexidade geológica peculiar que propicia a actividade mineira. Outrora um jazigo de relevância nacional a mina de Ervedosa é, actualmente, um conjunto de ruínas, das quais restam apenas memórias e longas histórias para contar. As únicas estrutur...
