GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA The area is located in the South region of the Tagus river mouth and to the north of Setúbal Peninsula. This coastal zone is distinguished by a great fluvial morphodinamic influence in the river inlet area. The area of study starts in the Cova do Vapor and ends at south of Costa da Caparica village (figure 1). Fig. 1: Location of the groyne field maintenance with artificial sand nourishment study area. Millions of people use Costa da Caparica beach during summer and the urban seafront requalification is included in a major national programme for urban areas requalification called POLIS programme. 2 EUROSION Case Study 1.1 Physical process level 1.1.1 Classification General: sandy beach and fossil cliffs CORINE: beaches Coastal guide: coastal plain, cliffs 1.1.2 Geology Geologically, the area is characterized by an alluvium deposing related with the interaction effects phenomenon of waves/tides/river flow, with refraction/diffraction patterns that provoke a local alluvium transport from south to north, creating a small sand spit, in our days, near to the NATO harbour (figure 1). In the past, this sand spit had significant dimensions, projected in to the Bugio lighthouse direction (figure 5). This way, it was created an extensive alluvium on south side of Tagus river (Cova do Vapor – Espichel Cape and Bugio bar).

    From Iron to the Industrial Cloud: Memory and (De)Industrialization at the Lisnave and Setenave Shipyards

    Preliminary communication Submitted: 3. 1. 2020. FROM IRON TO THE Accepted: 6. 3. 2020. DOI: 10.15176/vol57no105 INDUSTRIAL CLOUD: UDK 338.45:629.5.081(469)»196/198» MEMORY AND (DE)INDUSTRIALIZATION AT THE LISNAVE AND SETENAVE SHIPYARDS JOÃO PEDRO SANTOS Institute of Contemporary History – NOVA FCSH, Lisbon In the 1960s, Portugal lived through a period of rapid industrialization in what became known as the golden cycle of Portuguese industry. This late industrialization makes Por- tugal one of the countries ruled by a peripheral Fordism, which is particularly relevant in the region of Setúbal, since several heavy industry companies settled there, among them Setenave and Lisnave. These shipyards are described by workers as being “a city within the city” mostly given their dimension and labour contingent. However, this industrial “city” was more than a place of economic production; it was also a place for sociability. Informed by semi-structured in-depth interviews with former shipyard work- ers, and focused on the meaning they attribute to the changes experienced between the 1970s and the deindustrialization period of the 1980s, this article analyses the transition from a working culture based on solidarity to a culture dominated by competition and individualism. Keywords: deindustrialization, Setúbal, working-class, shipyards, memory INTRODUCTION When I started this research in 20151 in the region where I was born – Setúbal (Portugal)2 – my main objective was to uncover the bottom-up version of events that were presented 1 This paper is the result of my Master’s research (completed in 2017) as well as work in progress on my PhD thesis, funded by a scholarship from the Foundation for Science and Technology (SFRH/BD/133510/2017).

    — Invitation for Participation —

    — Invitation for Participation The Experiment@ International Workshop 2016 “The Emerging Technologies on the Internet of Everything” – ETIoE – is intended to continue talking about topics ad- dressed in recent events on online experimentation. It will be held at University of the Azores (Ponta Delgada, São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal) on 5-6 September, 2016, in a joint organization of the University of the Azores, the University of Coimbra, the University of Porto and the New University of Lisbon, with the collaboration of ExpoLab and IAOE (International Association of Online Experimentation) and the sup- port of DRCT (Direção Regional da Ciência e Tecnologia, Secretaria Regional do Mar, Ciência e Tecnologia, Governo Regional dos Açores). ETIoE aims to contribute to disseminate and share scientific works and projects on online experimentation and to develop collaborative work in emerging technologies on the context of the Internet of Everything (IoE), bringing together engineers and re- searchers from different areas. ETIoE purposes a space of debate about the use of emergent technologies in IoE, seeking, for example, to automate the acquisition and analysis of data, which allow the supervision and monitoring of different type of systems in a remote and distribut- ed framework, and of discussion and evaluation of online resources for all, promoting the sharing perspective and the collaborative use of meaningful online experimental contents either in learning contexts or in virtual laboratory environments. ETIoE provides a two-day forum of discussion offering to participants an opportunity to talk about their work and to analyse future relevant topics to spread the quality and the influence of areas of interest on online experimentation, in an open discussion framework and in technical visits.
