Planning for Deer-Hunting Management at the Local and Regional Scales: Reconcil...
Bicho, Cláudio; Machado, Rui; Alpizar-Jara, Russell; Santos, PedroGame species with home ranges exceeding the area of the management units may entail conflicts over hunting rights and cause damage to crops and forest stands in surrounding areas. This is currently the case in the Mendro Mountain Range (Portugal), inhabited by free-ranging red (Cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (Dama dama) populations. This study’s primary goal was to uncover the processes underlying these tensio...

Modeling rainfall input variability for flash floods in Portugal: the influence...
Villaça, Caio; Santos, Pedro; Zêzere, JoséFlash floods are often responsible for deaths and damage to infrastructure. The objective of this work is to create a data-driven model to understand how predisposing factors influence the spatial variation of the triggering factor (rainfall intensity) in the case of flash floods in the continental area of Portugal. Flash floods occurrences were extracted from the DISASTER database. We extracted the accumulated...
Acoustic behaviour of GFRP-PUR web-core composite sandwich panels
Proença, Miguel; Santos, Pedro; Godinho, Luís; Neves e Sousa, Albano; Correia, João R.; Garrido, Mário; Sena-Cruz, JoséThis paper presents an experimental and analytical study about the sound insulation of innovative sandwich panels - named EasyFloor – _for the rehabilitation of degraded timber floors in old buildings. Two types of panels were developed: (i) an all-composite sandwich panel, made of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) face sheets and webs, and polyurethane (PUR) foam; (ii) and a hybrid sandwich panel, where th...
The Recent Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Grasslands in Slovenia: Contribution to T...
Machado, Rui; Santos, Pedro; Sousa-Neves, Nuno; Pirnat, JanezSeminatural European grasslands and pastures have a high conservation value because they provide different goods and services (meat, wool, carbon sequestration, etc.) and harbor diverse communities of plants and animals. These land use systems were created by low- and moderate-intensity use and, nowadays, face threats from both abandonment and overuse. Although less productive or less accessible areas are aband...
Approach and guidance of trans and non-binary people in primary health care: ex...
Monteiro, João; Ferreira, Alexandra; Ramos, Bernardo; Dantas, Beatriz; Couto, Maria Inês; Vieira, Jéssica; Moreira, José; Coelho, MarcoThe prevalence of openly trans and non-binary people has been increasing, and, in today's world, it is estimated that they represent 0.39% and 1.19% of the global population, respectively. Thus, it becomes increasingly imperative that primary health care physicians are prepared to receive and guide this population, in their general and specific health needs. In this sense, this work intends to study the knowled...
PROPOSTA DE UM PLANO DE PREVENÇÃO DE GESTÃO DE RESÍDUOS DE CONSTRUÇÃO E DEMOLIÇ...
Santos, PedroA indústria da construção civil é um dos setores com uma existência de séculos e que é responsável pelo consumo de uma grande parte das matérias-primas e estende a todas as outras atividades económicas. Apesar da sua antiguidade e dimensão, só nas últimas décadas surgiu a problemática ambiental em relação à gestão não adequada dos resíduos de construção e demolição. Na atualidade, a gestão adequada dos resíduos...
Flood hazard and risk in urban areas
Santos, PedroFloodplains and valleys have always been preferential locations for human presence. The first great cities in human history, regardless of the continent, are associated with the valleys of large rivers. The advantages of such settlements were evident, as were the hydrological risks, reflected in disasters of varying magnitude, which became a seasonal—more or less expected—part of the lives of riverside populati...
Desastres induzidos por cheias rápidas: lições que teimamos em não aprender: o ...
Santos, PedroOs fenómenos a que tantas vezes chamamos «desastres naturais» tendem a ser muito menos naturais do que a expressão leva a crer. Os riscos de se verificarem, e a perigosidade de que se revestem quando não são prevenidos, dependem muito de escolhas feitas pelas sociedades e pelos poderes políticos. É o caso da bacia hidrográfica da ribeira de Algés, com elevado histórico e risco de inundações, que continua a ser ...
