Hiking tourism and rural development: The case of the Mondego Walkways, Portugal.
Silva, Luis; Freire, Francisco; Azevedo, António; Matos, Rute SousaThis article examines tourism’s contribution to rural development, as perceived by both visitors and local stakeholders / residents, with reference to the Mondego Walkways. The study is based on data collected through quantitative and qualitative methods, namely a survey carried out in situ with walkways’ visitors (n = 299) and a set of 16 semi-structured interviews conducted with local stakeholders / residents...
THE WALKWAYS LANDSCAPE IN PORTUGAL: – AMIEIRA DO TEJO CASE-STUDY
Matos, Rute Sousa; Azevedo, António; Freire, Francisco; Silva, LuisConsidering the concept of landscape as a vital experience, this paper seeks to ethically and aesthetically address walkways and their role in the landscape of inland Portugal. As such, the Amieira do Tejo walkway shall be employed as a case study, exploring the appropriation of these walkway by communities and tourists as well as the benefits they provide. The methodology used was based on bibliographic resear...
Literacia em saúde e humor em saúde
Cristina Vaz de Almeida; Esteves, Alexandra Durão; Grossinho, Ana Benevides; Candeias, Ana; Reina, Ana Carolina; Mina, Ana; Oliveira, Ana; Silva, AndréNos processos comunicacionais há evidência que o humor promove feedback imediato e envolvimento ativo do paciente e pode ser uma forma eficaz de metacomunicação, abordando tensões e mal-entendidos de forma mais leve, com comunicação não violenta e empática. Também são elencados os riscos do uso inadequado do humor nas ambiguidades e possíveis mal-entendidos, especialmente em contextos multiculturais, com a poss...
Digitization of crop nitrogen modelling: A review
Silva, Luis; Conceição, Luis; Lidon, Fernando; D'Antonio, Paola; Fiorentino, Costanza; Patanita, ManuelApplying the correct dose of nitrogen (N) fertilizer to crops is extremely important. The current predictive models of yield and soil–crop dynamics during the crop growing season currently combine information about soil, climate, crops, and agricultural practices to predict the N needs of plants and optimize its application. Recent advances in remote sensing technology have also contributed to digital modelling...
The endorheic – Exorheic transition and later stage of fluvial incision in a we...
Freitas, Marcelo; Paixão, Rodrigo; Salgado, André; Silva, Luis; Cunha, Pedro; Gomes, Alberto; Martins, António; Almeida, Júlio; Tupinamba, MiguelPresent-day endorheic drainage systems are rare in tropical humid regions and/or close to the coast. During the late Cenozoic, under a humid tropical climate, the Paraíba do Sul River basin (SE Brazil) has developed along the South America passive margin. This basin currently drains into the South Atlantic Ocean, but it preserves landforms that are indicative of previous endorheic paleodrainage. This study exam...
Working group on cephalopod fisheries and life history (Wgceph; outputs from 20...
Abad, Esther; Ainsworth, Gillian; Akselrud, Caitlin; Allcock, Louise; Badouvas, Nicholas; Baker, Krista; Barrett, Christopher; Bobowski, BiancaWGCEPH worked on six Terms of Reference. These involved reporting on the status of stocks; reviewing advances in stock identification, assessment for fisheries management and for the Ma- rine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), including some exploratory stock assessments; re- viewing impacts of human activities on cephalopods; developing identification guides and rec- ommendations for fishery data collection;...
Classification of a family of Lorenz knots with reducible symbolic sequences
Franco, Nuno; Silva, Luis; Gomes, PauloBased on symbolic dynamics of Lorenz maps, we prove that, provided one conjecture due to Morton is true, then a countable family of Lorenz knots associated to orbits of points in the renormalization intervals of Lorenz maps are hyperbolic. This countable family contains some of the hyperbolic Lorenz knots listed by J. Birman and I. Kofman.
Hospitalisation and Disease Severity Alter the Resting Pattern of Horses
Oliveira, Tiago; Santos, Amanda; Silva, Júlia; Trindade, Pedro [UNESP]; Yamada, Ana; Jaramillo, Fernando; Silva, Luis; Baccarin, RaquelMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:48:49Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-03-01; In humans, hospitalisation, disease type, and environmental factors evidently affect the quality of sleep, further influencing patient recovery. The objective of the present study was to report the resting and lying behaviour of hospitalised horses, and whether lying behaviours differ depending on the p...
Pick-Up and placement improvement: an industrial case study
Silva, Luis; Meireles, José Filipe Bizarro; Pinhao, Mario; Gonçalves, A. Manuela; Malheiro, M. TeresaSurface mount technology, usually on the context of Pick-up and Placement, is used on printed circuit boards assembling. In this paper, some aspects and physical parameters related with the pick-up and placement process are analysed in detail throughout the entire work sequence, such as the different variants of these same components among the various suppliers under study. In this process, there are problems o...
Artificial insemination with two different vaginoscopes of Churra Galega Bragan...
Quintas, Helder; Silva, Luis; Mateus, Óscar; Ramos, Juan Jose; Ferrer, Luis Miguel; Correia, Teresa Montenegro; Lacasta, Delia; Valentim, RamiroThe main goal of this paper was to compare the efficiency of two speculums in the AI of Portuguese Churra Galega Bragançana (CGB) ewes. This study was performed at Braganza (latitude 41° 48’ 33’’N, longitude 6° 44’ 3’’W, and Altitude 670 meters) between April 1st and June 5th. Forty-nine CGB ewes aged between 2 to 8 years were used. Body condition was scored according to the Australian classification table. On ...
