The film Os Maias is based on the portrayal of Portugal – a common genre in Portuguese cinema. In this filmic work, the social, cultural, political, and identity characteristics of nineteenth-century society are stamped, and the cust...
Iliopsoas haematoma is an uncommon but potentially severe complication, most frequently associated with anticoagulation therapy. When voluminous, it may compress the femoral nerve, leading to disabling motor and sensory deficits. We report three elderly patients, all anticoagulated, who developed femoral neuropathy secondary to iliopsoas haematomas. Clinical presentations ranged from acute abdominal and groin p...
Applying the precepts of Aguiar e Silva and Carlos Reis, we present an analysis of “São Martinho de Bornes” giving special focus to time, which dilatates and tends toward momentary staticity, and to the violent immensity of space, which allows a sweet discovery of the intimacy of the inner self. According to Doležel, this narrative is molecularly structured through the enchainment of axiological, deontic, and e...
Green roofs are made up of several components, including those belonging to the waterproofing and drainage layers, substrate, and vegetation. Of these, the substrate is undoubtedly one of the most important layers of a green roof, contributing not only to the healthy growth of vegetation but also to the water retention capacity and thermal behaviour of the whole solution. Although green roofs are widely recogni...

Increasingly, gasification involves using wastes as a solid fuel, making the process green and reusing some materials that otherwise could end up in a landfill. However, the process of finding the best gasification parameters of a sample can be ...

In this work we aim, not just observe Álvaro de Campos in his entirety - whatever such a totality that is -, buildin...
