Culturas DIY, feminismos e ativismos digitais

In this article, we propose a theoretical-empirical intersection of three fundamental themes, namely do-it-yourself (DIY) practices, feminism and decolonial digital activism. Adopting the typology of a case study and based on the use of a qualitative methodology, fostered by an indirect autobiographical interview, we proceeded to sociologically analyse the trajectory of one of the people responsible for creatin...

Isolation of metal-tolerant bacteria from metallophytes for bioaugmentation pur...

Unvegetated tailings are a source of contamination, namely metals and metalloids, for the surrounding environment, including to the nearby communities. Tailings' low nutrient and organic matter content, as well as the low pH, limit the establishment of a pla...
