Review of the quantification of aeolian sediment transport in coastal areas
Husemann, Paul; Romão, Frederico; Lima, Márcia; Costas, Susana; Coelho, CarlosCoastal dunes, formed and shaped by aeolian sediment transport, play a crucial role in ecosystem services and act as natural flood and coastal erosion defenses. This paper delves into theoretical equations and numerical models predicting sediment transport. Numerical models like cellular automata, XBeach-DUNA, the coastal dune model, and others are analyzed for their ability to simulate dune morphology, erosion...
Assessing Coastal Erosion and Climate Change Adaptation Measures: A Novel Parti...
Coelho, Carlos; Lima, Márcia; Moreira Alves, Filipe; Roebeling, Peter; Pais-Barbosa, Joaquim; Marto, MarcoThis work aims to provide a more complete characterization of coastal erosion mitigation and climate change adaptation measures by presenting a participatory approach that integrates medium- to long-term perspectives, considering simultaneously social, environmental, economic and engineering dimensions to help decision makers implement sustainable climate change adaptation (CCA) strategies. The work lists, expl...

The importance of plantar pressure in the prevention of ulcers in Portuguese pa...
Leal, Catarina; Assis, Márcia; Lima, Márcia; Figueira, Margarida; Soares, Rita; Lima, Daniela; Matos, José PedroObjectives – To understand the relationship between plantar pressures and the ulcers’ occurrence in individuals with neuropathic diabetic feet, using this factor as a possible method of risk assessment and identification. To investigate the association between the epidemiological data and ulcer occurrence. To identify an indicative value for its occurrence. Methods – A quantitative cross-sectional, correlationa...
Participatory Approach to Build Up a Municipal Strategy for Coastal Erosion Mit...
Matos, Fábio André; Alves, Filipe; Coelho, Carlos; Lima, Márcia; Vizinho, AndréThe Ovar coastline is characterized as one of the coastal areas with the highest vulnerability and risk of erosion in the Portuguese coast. The high-energy coast is further threatened by a permanent sediment deficit of anthropic origin, as well as sea level rise due to climate change. It is essential to define modern coastal adaptation strategies to minimize the impacts of these issues on the local communities,...
Medidas de mitigação e adaptação à erosão costeira e aos efeitos das alterações...
Lima, Márcia; Moreira Alves, Filipe; Marto, Marco; Coelho, CarlosO projeto INCCA (Adaptação Integrada às Alterações Climáticas para Comunidades Resilientes) tem por objetivo promover uma abordagem que integre a adaptação às alterações climáticas e a mitigação da erosão costeira em perspetivas de curto, médio e longo-prazo. A adaptação e mitigação deve considerar as dimensões social, ambiental, económica e de engenharia, para ajudar os órgãos de decisão a conceber planos de a...
Emprego doméstico e mudança social: reprodução e heterogeneidade na base da est...
Lima, Márcia; Prates, IanThe objective of this article is to analyze changes in the profile of domestic workers (2002-2012) considering not only the distinct variations in the legislation that preceded the Project of the Constitutional amendment but also the social transformations that took place at the base of the Brazilian social pyramid. Despite the reproduction of race and class cleavages that define the general profile of these wo...

Leal, Catarina; Assis, Márcia; Lima, Márcia; Figueira, Margarida; Soares, Rita; Lima, Daniela; Matos, José PedroObjetivos – Compreender a relação entre as pressões plantares e a ocorrência de úlceras em indivíduos com pé diabético neuropático, utilizando este fator como um possível método de avaliação e identificação de risco. Averiguar a associação entre os dados epidemiológicos e a ocorrência de úlcera. Identificar o valor indicativo de úlcera. Métodos – Realizou-se um estudo epidemiológico quantitativo transversal e c...
A produção de conhecimento em tempos de conflito: o lugar das Ciências Sociais
Lima, MárciaThis article proposes to provide a brief analysis of the main challenges posed to the Brazilian social sciences due to the conservative political context. The text identifies two crucial and related processes. The first involves the economic restraint associated with the growth of conservatism in Congress and in the Executive power, and the other includes the results of the changes produced by the reduction of ...
