Convergence of business and their processes: A data analytics approach

In today’s data-driven landscape, businesses increasingly rely on both data science and process science to enhance operational efficiency and strategic decision-making. However, a significant gap exists between these two disciplines, hindering the realization of their full potential synergy. This paper proposes a novel approach to bridge this gap through the integration of business analytics and process analyti...

Ethnobotanical inventory of plants used by mountainous rural communities in NW ...

Mountains matter. Rural subsistence communities living in areas with high biodiversity, such as mountains, are hotspots of ecological knowledge. However, modern lifestyles may threaten this unique cultural heritage. Our study aimed to document and analyze information on plants used to fulfill the everyday needs of the people in three rural communities in NW Portugal. Fieldwork was carried out for a period of on...

Integrating business and process analytics for enhanced Data-Driven decision-ma...

By integrating Business Analytics and Process Analytics, organizations can gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between process inefficiencies and business outcomes, leading to improved data-driven decision-making. This integration, however, is often overlooked, with limited methodological guidance for systematically combining these two analytical domains. Motivated by this challenge, this paper prop...

Creating of a xylarium and herbarium with a preventive conservation profile: re...

The significance of plant material sample deposits extends beyond the scientific community, with various industries, historians, and law enforcement agencies increasingly relying on them. Preserving global xylariums and herbariums is essential for accessing centuries of data, species, and samples that may no longer exist in their original locations or may be extinct. While maintaining these archives is crucial,...

eBryoSoil: a citizen science application to monitor changes in soil ecosystems

Biological soil covers (BSCs) play a pivotal role in ecosystem functioning by enhancing soil stability, mediating nutrient cycling, and influencing soil hydrology. Recognized as ecosystem engineers, they can physically modify, maintain, or create habitats, facilitating plant community development. Through these intricate interactions, BSCs contribute significantly to ecological processes, highlighting their imp...

Bryophyte assembly rules across scales

Understanding how species assemble into communities is a central issue in community ecology. So far, most studies have focused on the assembly mechanisms of vascular plant communities, while the role of deterministic (environmental filtering and biotic interactions) and stochastic (e.g. dispersal limitation) processes structuring bryophyte assemblages remains poorly understood. To evaluate how different assembl...

Uma tríade botânica na paisagem oitocentista portuense: jardins e hortos de exc...

The present work explores the recognition of the past and present genius loci of three spaces of Porto city center as remaining and transformed representations of spaces with distinct, interconnected and pertinent botanical missions in the nineteenth century landscape of the city. Through the exploration of sources left by the interveners or graphic testimonies of the urban landscape from 1850 to the present da...

Multi-biologic group analysis for an ecosystem response to longitudinal river r...

This work assesses the effects of river regulation on the diversity of different instream and riparian biological communities along a relieve gradient of disturbance in regulated rivers. Two case studies in Portugal were used, with different river regulation typology (downstream of run-of-river and reservoir dams), where regulated and free-flowing river stretches were surveyed for riparian vegetation, macrophyt...

Porto.Importa-se - Isolamento social e a percepção de solidão em idosos

O fenómeno do envelhecimento tem-se tornado cada vez mais objecto de estudo para a investigação, assim como os problemas que dele decorrem e que afectam muitos idosos: o isolamento social e a solidão. Neste relatório relata-se uma experiência de colaboração com o projecto “Porto. Importa-se”, pensado e realizado em parceria pelo Município do Porto, Instituto Superior de Serviço Social do Porto (ISSSP), Juntas d...
