Getting to know local communities through backyards: An ethnographic reflection

This paper departs from an on-the-ground pilot case titled “In My Backyard? A citizen science pilot project on home farming and gardening”, led by Rio Neiva – Environmental NGO and its partner CEA – Municipal Centre for Environmental Education of Esposende, Portugal, aiming to support a long-term transition to sustainable backyards.2 It focused on a semi-rural region of northern Portugal, between the cities of ...

From Riverbank to Ocean: Involving young generations with their territory throu...

Based on the project Minante: Prototyping a Natural and Cultural Experience for Public Space Co‐Creation (2023–2024), this article presents and discusses how schools from a semi‐rural region of northern coastal Portugal engaged with the natural and cultural water heritage that surrounds them through artistic practices. A total of four schools with classes of different ages took part (12–18 years old), with arti...

Beneficiaries of Social Disability Pension in Small Municipalities in the North...

This study is focused on the northern region of Portugal and addresses the number of road accidents with casualties and the number of beneficiaries of the social disability pension. Municipalities with low population density are mostly located in the hinterland. The phenomenon of population aging entails the problem of people who are unable to work and become beneficiaries of the social disability pension. The ...

Can water remediated by manganese spinel ferrite nanoparticles be safe for mari...

In the last few years the use of nanoparticles (NPs) such as the manganese spinel ferrite (MnFe2O4) has been increasing, with a vast variety of applications including water remediation from pollutants as metal(oid)s. Although an increasing number of studies already demonstrated the potential toxicity of NPs towards aquatic systems and inhabiting organisms, there is still scarce information on the potential haza...

A deep learning line to assess patient’s lung cancer stages

Our goal is to pursue a vision of developing and maintaining a comprehensive and integrated computer model to help physicians plan the most appropriate treatment and anticipate a patient’s prospects for the extent of cancer. For example, cancer can be treated at an early stage by surgery or radiation, while chemotherapy may be the care for more advanced stages. In fact, early detection of this type of cancer fa...

Toxicity beyond accumulation of Titanium after a short exposure period of Mytil...

Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, being present in rocks, soils, and sediments (Skrabal, 1995; Taylor and McLennan, 1985). Because this element is poorly soluble in water (Knauss et al., 2001; Schmidt and Vogelsberger, 2009), dissolved Ti is usually present at very low concentrations in riverine, estuarine and coastal waters, with concentrations between 0.01 and 5.5 μg L−1 (Skrab...

Evidences of metabolic alterations and cellular damages in mussels after short ...

Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels were exposed to seawater contaminated with Ti. Initial concentrations were 4.1, 32, and 66 μg L−1 that declined during the first 24 h of the experiments, and after 48 h values were <2 μg L−1. Experiments were run in triplicate, under constant salinity and temperature. Mussels were fed every two days, and water renewed every seven days and Ti concentrations re-stabilized. During...
