DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY FOR AN AGRIVOLTAIC PILOT PROJECT IN THE ALENTEJO REGION
Oliveira, Helena; Bunge, Lisa; Silva, José; Fialho, Luís; Infante, Paulo; Horta, PedroThis paper presents a study for an agrivoltaics pilot project in the Alentejo region, aimed at identifying the average percentage increase in efficiency between different types of photovoltaic panels (monofacial and bifacial modules) due to cooling effects from shading, when installed over monoculture rotations and intercropping systems with crops that benefit from Shade Avoidance Syndrome (SAS). The study will...
Sustainable Intensification of the Montado Ecosystem: Evaluation of Sheep Stock...
Carreira, Emanuel; Serrano, João; Shahidian, Shakib; Infante, Paulo; Paniágua, Luís; Moral, Francisco; Paixão, Luís; Pinto Gomes, C.; Lopes de Casto, J.The objective of this study was to determine how application of dolomitic limestone and stocking methods (continuous stocking or deferred stocking) affect the soil compaction, sheep grazing location, height, and nutritional value of pastures when the pasture growth rate is at its maximum. A 4 ha field at Mitra farm—University of Évora—was divided into four plots: P1 and P2—without application of dolomitic limes...
More Is Still Not Enough—What Is Necessary and Sufficient for Happiness?
Kaminska, Joanna; Dionísio, Andreia; Infante, Paulo; Carrilho, RitaHappiness is defined as well-being and contentment with life. The growing imperative to evaluate well-being beyond economic growth alone has led to the formulation of holistic indices that better reflect quality of life and sustainable development goals. This has resulted in the emergence of the Happiness Score (HS), which adopts a more holistic and human-centred perspective on development and well-being. The p...
Efficiency and Sustainability in Ruminants’ Livestock Systems: A Case Study of ...
Carreira, Emanuel; Silva, Flávio; Serrano, João; Geraldo, Ana; Infante, Paulo; Charneca, Rui; Conceição, Cristina; Pereira, AlfredoThe Montado (Portugal)/Dehesa (Espanha), a unique agro-sylvo-pastoral ecosys tem in the Mediterranean region, offers a valuable model for sustainable ruminant livestock production. This chapter explores the efficiency and sustainability of this system, with a particular focus on dryland pastures and grazing practices. Extensive livestock systems in the Montado, defined by their low-input and low-output approach...
Mobile E-Bike Sharing Systems with Integrated Photovoltaics: Electric Mobility ...
Oliveira, Helena; Carmo, Paulo; Silva, José; Fialho, Luís; Infante, Paulo; Horta, PedroMobile e-bike sharing stations integrated with photovoltaics are proposed for Évora to serve baseline urban demand and event-related surges while respecting heritage constraints. The system is powered primarily by photovoltaics, with optional grid-assist for resilience. We present a siting–sizing framework that (i) selects candidate locations via AHP and a p-median model based on origin–destination flows and tr...

Factors That Influence the Type of Road Traffic Accidents: A Case Study in a Di...
Infante, Paulo; Jacinto, Gonçalo; Afonso, Anabela; Rego, Leonor; Nogueira, Pedro; Silva, Marcelo; Nogueira, Vitor; Saias, José; Quaresma, PauloRoad traffic accidents (RTAs) are a problem with repercussions in several dimensions: social, economic, health, justice, and security. Data science plays an important role in its explanation and prediction. One of the main objectives of RTA data analysis is to identify the main factors associated with a RTA. The present study aims to contribute to the identification of the determinants for the type of RTA: coll...
MECANISMOS HOMEOSTÁTICOS E HOMEORRÉTICOS DECORRENTES DA ACLIMATIZAÇÃO SAZONAL E...
Gomes da Silva, Flávio; Cachucho, Liliana; Matos, Catarina; Geraldo, Ana; Conceição, Cristina; Lamy, Elsa; Capela e Silva, Fernando; Infante, PauloO objetivo deste estudo consistiu em avaliar a resposta fisiológica de bovinos leiteiros, de raça Holstein-Frísia, com diferente potencial para a produção de leite, em duas fases de aclimatação sazonal. Utilizando a produção de leite corrigida para os 305 dias de lactação, foram selecionadas 6 vacas multíparas, com uma produção de leite inferior a 9000 kg (BP) e 7 vacas multíparas, com produção de leite superio...
Processamento de dados maregráficos – estação de Viana do Castelo
Carinhas, Dora; M., Alves; Infante, Paulo; António, Martinho; F., VasquezA clássica questão da qualidade dos dados maregráficos tornou-se mais importantes na última década, pois surgiram novas tecnologias e as redes maregráficas foram modernizadas. Este trabalho permitiu avaliar não só o desempenho dos marégrafos da rede maregráfica, mas também apresentar técnicas de controle de qualidade para dados de marés registados em tempo quase-real que implica a necessidade de implementação d...
Content Validity and Reliability of the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test and the K...
Furtado, Kátia; Lopes, Teresa; Afonso, Anabela; Infante, Paulo; Voorham, Jaco; Lopes, Manuel(1) Background: Improvement in pressure ulcer care depends both on the dissemination of knowledge and its implementation. This study aims to translate the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test into Portuguese from Portugal and evaluate the internal consistency of the questionnaire. The second aim is to assess nurses’ pressure ulcer knowledge level. (2) Methods: The Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test was translated into Port...
