VI.2.12 Portugal and seabed mining
Neves, Mariana; Madureira, PedroPortugal is a state party of the UNCLOS and the 1994 Agreement since 3rd November 1997. It was a member of the executive body of the International Seabed Authority (ISA), the Council, between 2001 and 2008 when the regulations for prospecting and exploration for polymetallic sulphides and cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts in the Area started to be considered. One of the main Portugal’s interests was to pursue t...
Aprender com os conhecimentos e as experiências das crianças
Coelho, Adriana; Paretskaya, Anna; Tavares, Andreia; Monho, Andreia; Lucas, Cássia; Fernandes, Catarina; Palma, Inês; Gomes, Mafalda; Arvela, MargaridaCerta vez, perguntei a uma criança: "Qual é a forma da Terra?" Ela respondeu: "Na sala de aula, por causa da professora, digo que a Terra é redonda. Mas quando vou de viagem, o carro nunca faz uma curva para cima e para baixo!" Este aparente paradoxo foi o ponto de partida para a elaboração deste livro, intitulado «Aprender com os conhecimentos e as experiências das crianças». A resposta espontânea da criança r...
Ethylene Inhibition Reduces De Novo Shoot Organogenesis and Subsequent Plant De...
Neves, Mariana; Correia, Sandra; Canhoto, JorgeIn de novo shoot organogenesis (DNSO) plant cells develop into new shoots, without the need of an existing meristem. Generally, this process is triggered by wounding and specific growth regulators, such as auxins and cytokinins. Despite the potential significance of the plant hormone ethylene in DNSO, its effect in regeneration processes of woody species has not been thoroughly investigated. To address this gap...
A Sustainable Approach to Marketable Banking Stress and Burnout
Miranda, José; Machado, Joana; Neves, Mariana; Fdez-Riverola, Florentino; Vicente, Henrique; Neves, JoséIt is now widely acknowledged that working in marketable banking (MB) can be a major source of stress. Meeting overly ambitious commercial targets or adapting to changes in the industry can often result in stressful situations within MB. The banking industry is known for being one of the most stressful industries to work in, as evidenced by extensive research on the topic spanning several decades. Managing stre...
Employees balance and stability as key points in organizational performance
Neves, José; Maia, Nuno; Marreiros, Goreti; Neves, Mariana; Fernandes, Ana; Ribeiro, Jorge; Araújo, Isabel; Araújo, Nuno; Ávidos, LilianaSystem analyses deal with interrelationships between different variables that keep the system in balance. In many analysis of complex thinking, a system is viewed as a complex unit in which the ‘whole’ is not reduced to the ‘sum’ of its parts; the system becomes an ambiguous item because it consists of several entities that interact with unforeseen results or, in other words, it is situated at a transdisciplina...

Modulation of Organogenesis and Somatic Embryogenesis by Ethylene: An Overview
Neves, Mariana; Correia, Sandra; Cavaleiro, Carlos; Canhoto, JorgeEthylene is a plant hormone controlling physiological and developmental processes such as fruit maturation, hairy root formation, and leaf abscission. Its effect on regeneration systems, such as organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis (SE), has been studied, and progress in molecular biology techniques have contributed to unveiling the mechanisms behind its effects. The influence of ethylene on regeneration sho...

The submerged prolongation of Islands' land masses. The particular case of isla...
Madureira, Pedro; Neves, Mariana; Pinto Ribeiro, Luísa; Dias, Frederico; Leal, IsabelFrom the articulation of articles 121 (2) and 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), islands from a coastal State are entitled to a continental shelf, to be determined in the same way as for any other land territory. UNCLOS defines the continental shelf of a coastal State in relation to its continental margin. Article 76 (3) defines the continental margin in terms of the submerged p...
