Valorization of treated olive mill wastewater and olive pits in hydroponic syst...

Significant volumes of wastewater and solid by-products are produced by olive oil industries worldwide, posing serious environmental challenges. This study presents an innovative circular economy and environmental sustainability approach that simultaneously valorizes liquid (olive mill wastewater, OMW) and solid by-products (crushed olive pits) rom olive oil production through hydroponic lettuce cultivation. Th...

Eco rehabilitation at real scale of a water stream with acid mine drainage traits

The Água Forte (AF) stream located in the Southern Alentejo region (Portugal), is a tributary of the Roxo river. The AF stream has acid mining drainage (AMD) traits, which contributes to the degradation of the river’s water quality and the adjacent soils. The use of ecological floating beds (EFBs) is an eco-rehabilitation strategy for polluted waters. This work aimed to evaluate the application of EFBs at real-...

Appraisal of the physiological response of cakile maritima and brassica juncea ...

Rare earth elements were extensively employed for many years to improve plant growth in farming. However, their effect on plant’s behavior relies on their concentration and the plant species. The impact of low doses of lanthanum (La; 1–10 μM) on plant growth, mineral uptake, and the production of secondary metabolites was assessed in two Brassicaceae species (Cakile maritime and Brassica juncea) after 14 days o...

GAMIFICATION IN THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH TO CHILDREN: AN ACTION- RESEARCH PROJEC...

The paper presents an action-research project developed in the practicum of a pre-service master's degree for English teaching in the 3rd and 4th grades. The project focused on exploring gamification in language activities and self-assessment of learning, in some cases using technology. Its central purpose was to understand how gamification can favor children’s involvement in language learning, which was confir...

Comparison of digestion methods using atomic absorption spectrometry for the de...

Trace metal elements (TMEs) are among the most important types of pollutants in the environment. Therefore, a precise determination of these contaminants in several environmental components is required for the safety assurance of living organisms. Spectroscopic analysis is an efficient technique employed to detect and determine TME contents in numerous samples. Hence, to achieve reliable and accurate results wh...

Cistus ladanifer metal uptake and physiological performance in biochar amended ...

Biochar amendments are known to have a considerable influence on phytoremediation processes. Considering this, in the present work, we aimed to evaluate the effect of biochar amendments in metal-contaminated mine soils focusing on the metal uptake by Cistus ladanifer and its physiological consequences. Plants were exposed to mine soils with different biochar supplementations and the plant's physiological perfor...

Assessment of tolerance to Lanthanum and Cerium in Helianthus Annuus Plant: Eff...

Rare earth elements (REEs) present a group of nonessential metals for the growth and development of plants. At high concentrations, they can induce internal stress and disturb the physiological and biochemical mechanisms in plants. The potential uptake of lanthanum (La) and cerium (Ce) by the horticultural plant Helianthus annuus and the effect of these elements on its growth, its absorption of macroelements, a...
