Gamification system for eco-driving: Enhancing driver motivation and fuel savin...
Cale, D.; Franco, A.; Ferreira, J. C.; Rocha, J.Implementing a gamification system aims to motivate drivers to adopt eco-friendly driving behaviors and subsequently achieve fuel savings. The growing concern for environmental sustainability and the imperative to reduce carbon emissions from vehicular activities have led to increased interest in eco-driving practices. Gamification, which leverages elements from game design in non-game contexts, offers a promis...
Sustainability measurement in a logistics transportation company
Ferreira, J.; Albuquerque, V.; Pereira, F.; Rocha, J.; Dias, J.We present a preliminary study to the Decision Support System for Sustainable Logistics Transportation, using as case study, the Portuguese logistics transportation company Santos e Vale. In the last five years, it has reduced its fleet carbon footprint by 20%. Our research presents a systematic literature review of indicators, carbon footprint models, and reduction measures associated to the sector, using the ...

GIS and Spatial Analysis
Rocha, J.; Gomes, E; Boavida-Portugal, I.; Viana, C. M.; Truong-Hong, L.; Phan, A. T.The objective of spatial analysis techniques is to describe the patterns existing in spatial data and to establish, preferably quantitatively, the relationships between different geographic variables. The notion of spatial analysis in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) environment encompasses the idea of integrating spatial data and alphanumeric attributes and translating it into a series of functions relat...
Effect of dopants and DBD plasma treatment on the conductivity of fabrics impre...
Magalhães, Cátia; Ribeiro, Ana Isabel Ferreira; Meireles, Ângela Sofia Faria; Alves, Alexandra Manuela Vieira Cruz Pinto; Rocha, J.Conductive properties are paving the way to produce smart textiles with a robust framework, so the development of electroconductive textiles is an area with growing interest. Poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), is a conductive polymer widely used to impart conductivity to textiles. An increase of the conductivities is possible through the addition of secondary dopants to the co...
Susceptibility and exposure to sea level rise in the Sado estuary and in the Ar...
Zêzere, J.L.; Oliveira, S.C; Pereira, S.; Melo, R.; Santos, P.P.; Reis, E.; Garcia, R.A.C.; Trindade, J.; Morais, R.; Rocha, J.Sea level rising is a major driver of three climate hazards in the Sado estuary and in the Arrábida coastal zone: estuarine flooding, coastal flooding and cliff retreat. In this work, the susceptibility to estuarine flooding, coastal flooding and cliff retreat is assessed for the present and at the end of the century, for the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 emission scenarios. The exposure of people and assets to the con...

Social robots as leaders: Leadership styles in human-robot teams
Lopes, S.; Rocha, J.; Ferreira, A. I.; Prada, R.This paper explores robotic leadership and the impact of different human-leadership styles in teams leaded by social robots. It is anticipated that social robots can have the capability to serve as leaders for human teams and to collaborate with humans in order to improve the organizational requirements of the workplace environment. We report an experiment conducted in order to determine which humanleadership s...
A importância do espaço urbano para o sentimento: análise baseada em redes sociais
Betco, Iuria; Encalada Abarca, Luis; Rocha, J.Recentemente, tem-se verificado um despertar do interesse pela importância da qualidade do espaço no suporte à vida saudável (estilo de vida saudável) em áreas urbanas. As ligações entre o espaço e a saúde foram reconhecidas ao longo da história, tendo sido uma das forças motrizes do movimento dos parques urbanos no século XIX na Europa e na América do Norte. No entanto, muitos dos mecanismos por detrás dessas ...
Seasonal Dynamics and Spatial Distribution of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culici...
Osório, H.; Rocha, J.; Roquette, R.; Guerreiro, N.; Zé-Zé, L.; Amaro, F.; Silva, M.; Alves, M.J.Aedes albopictus is an invasive mosquito that has colonized several European countries as well as Portugal, where it was detected for the first time in 2017. To increase the knowledge of Ae. albopictus population dynamics, a survey was carried out in the municipality of Loulé, Algarve, a Southern temperate region of Portugal, throughout 2019, with Biogents Sentinel traps (BGS traps) and ovitraps. More than 19,0...
