A pegada do “Ouro Líquido” Mediterrânico nos ecossistemas aquáticos: estudo dos...
Costa, Silvana Teixeira; Miranda, Fernando; Teixeira, Fernando; Zidouh, Aya; Fernandes, Conceição; Dias, Luís; Hernandez, Zulimar; Teixeira, AmílcarAtualmente, 80.000 t de bagaço de azeitona são processadas numa única unidade extratora localizada na região de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, produzindo águas-ruças (OMWW) que são altamente fitotóxicas. A falta de medidas de gestão para este resíduo em específico, levanta a importância de compreender como este pode impactar a integridade ecológica dos ecossistemas aquáticos. Assim, oito locais espalhados pelo Ri...
Glamping in low-density territories: The case of Santo Aleixo da Restauração
Pescada, Susana Soares Pinheiro Vieira; Ruxho, Filipos; Palma, Carolina; Beha, Fejzulla; Teixeira, FernandoThe promotion of tourism in rural areas, in a sustainable and appealing manner, through the specification and diversification of tourist offerings, becomes fundamental for the valorization, visibility, and notoriety of the communities living in these spaces. This study analyzes a new concept of tourist activity, Glamping, whose mission is to promote territories in a sustainable and socially appealing way, where...
The effects of climate and soil properties on the magnitude of the visual soil ...
Teixeira, FernandoUnderstanding how different climates and soil properties affect the soil processes requires quantifying these effects. Visual soil quality indicators have been proposed to assess the robustness of the soil processes and infer their ability to function. The scores of the visual soil quality indicators covary with climate features and soil properties, and their magnitude is different in acid-to-neutral and alkali...
The importance of organizational culture in the performance of family health un...
Corvo, Teresa; Pescada, Susana; Krasniqi, Armand; Vidal, João; Ruxho, Filipos; Teixeira, FernandoContext and Objectives: The recent reform of Primary Health Care brought about important developments, such as the creation of the Health Care Clusters and the Family Health Units, which are innovative in terms of health care provision, with a focus on improving access to care, health and disease management, efficiency and effectiveness gains, quality of care, and user satisfaction. Increasingly considered as a...
Determining the relative importance of climate and soil properties affecting th...
Teixeira, FernandoIn this study, we have analyzed the relationships of four manageable soil properties, soil texture, and climate variables on the scores of visual indicators of 132 soils across Europe and China. Correlations differed in acid to neutral and alkaline soils, both in strength and direction, which gave rise to the different rankings of the importances of the explanatory variables for each visual indicator. In alkali...
Active teaching and learning methodologies: The Demola project at the Polytechn...
Rodrigues, Elsa; Cravo, Pedro; Tavares, Luís Miguel; Bailoa, Sandra; Silva, Maria; Carloto, António; Teixeira, Fernando; Amaral, Marta; Silva, FláviaActive teaching and learning methodologies have changed the traditional teaching model. These have emerged as an innovative process which stimulates and develops students’ autonomy and critical thinking. The objective of this paper is to present the experience of the 6th batch of the Demola project which took place at the Polytechnic Institute of Beja, as an example of active teaching and learning methodologies...
Virtual Reality Gaming in Rehabilitation after Musculoskeletal Injury—User Expe...
Gouveia, Bruna R.; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio; Campos, Pedro; França, Cristiano S.; Rodrigues, Louis M.; Martins, Francisco; França, CíntiaThe purposes of this study were twofold: (1) to describe a new technological solution for the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries based on virtual reality (VR) gaming, and (2) to analyze the variation in rated perceived exertion (RPE) and heart rate (HR) of the participants when undergoing a rehabilitation session based on different VR games. Thirty-seven participants aged 23.7 ± 7.0 years tested during ...

Evidence of non-site- specific agricultural management effects on the score of ...
Teixeira, FernandoThis study investigates 11 agricultural management practices (AMPs) and their effects on seven visual soil quality indicators and soil aggregate stability. The survey carried out across eight pedoclimatic zones in Europe and China was based on visual soil assessments (New Zealand VSA method) performed on soils subject to different soil management practices and nearby similar soils, under similar farming feature...
Legumes Cropping and Nitrogen Fixation under Mediterranean Climate - The Case o...
Teixeira, FernandoClimate change contributes to the environmental pressures that the Montado/Dehesa systems are experiencing, leading to an impoverishment of the floristic composition of the understorey. The strongly acidic soils of these systems are associated with nutrient deficiencies, nutritional disorders and the toxicity of metals, especially Mn and Al; these problems are discussed with emphasis on the antagonism between F...
