  • A Critical Checklist of the Odonata of Portugal
    Received 28 January 2006; revised and accepted 23 March 2006 A critical checklist of the Odonata of Portugal Sónia Ferreira 1, José Manuel Grosso-Silva 1, Mathias Lohr 2, Florian Weihrauch 3 & Reinhard Jödicke 4 1 CIBIO - Centro de Investigação em Biodiversidade e Recursos Genéticos, Campus Agrário de Vairão, 4485-661 Vairão, Portugal. <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> 2 Fachhochschule Lippe und Höxter, Fachgebiete Tierökologie und Landschaftsökologie, An der Wilhelmshöhe 44, 37671 Höxter, Germany. <[email protected]> 3 Jägerstraße 21A, 85283 Wolnzach, Germany. <[email protected]> 4 Am Liebfrauenbusch 3, 26655 Westerstede, Germany. <[email protected]> Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, checklist, Iberia, Portugal, Madeira, Azores. Abstract The Odonata checklist of continental Portugal, Madeira and the Azores includes 65 species. Besides Sympetrum nigrifemur, an endemic of Madeira and the Canary Islands, and the unique population of the Nearctic Ischnura hastata in the Azores, the species composition reflects a higher proportion of western Mediterranean and Ethiopian elements than any other European country. An isolated occurrence of Coenagrion pulchellum was confirmed. Due to obvious misidentifications and to the loss of voucher specimens of questionable species, 22 taxa were rejected. Future records of additional species are predicted. Introduction Portugal is situated in the west of the Iberian Peninsula and thus at the western- most edge of Europe. Politically, the Atlantic archipelagos of Madeira, the Azores, and the Selvagens Islands also belong to Portugal. The archipelago of Madeira consists of Madeira, Porto Santo and the three Desertas Islands. Nine islands make up the Azores: Faial, Corvo, Flores, Pico, São Jorge, Graciosa, Terceira, São Miguel and Santa Maria.

  • Planting Power ... Formation in Portugal.Pdf
    Promotoren: Dr. F. von Benda-Beckmann Hoogleraar in het recht, meer in het bijzonder het agrarisch recht van de niet-westerse gebieden. Ir. A. van Maaren Emeritus hoogleraar in de boshuishoudkunde. Preface The history of Portugal is, like that of many other countries in Europe, one of deforestation and reafforestation. Until the eighteenth century, the reclamation of land for agriculture, the expansion of animal husbandry (often on communal grazing grounds or baldios), and the increased demand for wood and timber resulted in the gradual disappearance of forests and woodlands. This tendency was reversed only in the nineteenth century, when planting of trees became a scientifically guided and often government-sponsored activity. The reversal was due, on the one hand, to the increased economic value of timber (the market's "invisible hand" raised timber prices and made forest plantation economically attractive), and to the realization that deforestation had severe impacts on the environment. It was no accident that the idea of sustainability, so much in vogue today, was developed by early-nineteenth-century foresters. Such is the common perspective on forestry history in Europe and Portugal. Within this perspective, social phenomena are translated into abstract notions like agricultural expansion, the invisible hand of the market, and the public interest in sustainably-used natural environments. In such accounts, trees can become gifts from the gods to shelter, feed and warm the mortals (for an example, see: O Vilarealense, (Vila Real), 12 January 1961). However, a closer look makes it clear that such a detached account misses one key aspect: forests serve not only public, but also particular interests, and these particular interests correspond to specific social groups.

  • A Coastal Vulnerability Assessment Due to Sea Level Rise: a Case Study of Atlantic Coast of Portugal’S Mainland
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 27 December 2019 doi:10.20944/preprints201912.0366.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at Water 2020, 12, 360; doi:10.3390/w12020360 Article A Coastal Vulnerability Assessment due to Sea Level Rise: A Case Study of Atlantic Coast of Portugal’s Mainland Carolina Rocha 1, Carlos Antunes 1,2* and Cristina Catita 1,2 1 Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal; [email protected] 2 Instituto Dom Luiz, Universidade de Lisboa, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +351 21 7500839 Abstract: The sea level rise, a consequence of climate change, is one of the biggest challenges that countries and regions with coastal lowland areas will face in the medium term. This study proposes a methodology for assessing the vulnerability to sea level rise (SLR) on the Atlantic coast of Portugal mainland. Some scenarios of extreme sea level for different return periods and extreme flooding events were estimated for 2050 and 2100, as proposed by the European Union Directive 2007/60/EC. A set of physical parameters are considered for the multi-attribute analysis technique implemented by the Analytic Hierarchy Process, in order to define a Physical Vulnerability Index fundamental to assess coastal vulnerability. For each SLR scenario, coastal vulnerability maps, with spatial resolution of 20 m, are produced at national scale to identify areas most at risk of SLR, constituting key documents for triggering adaptation plans for such vulnerable regions. For 2050 and 2100, it is estimated 903 km2 and 1146 km2 of vulnerable area, respectively, being the district of Lisbon the most vulnerable district in both scenarios.

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- ShareAlike 4.0 International License 2 COLEOPTER PROJECT The COLEOPTER (COncertation LocalE pour l’Optimisation des Politiques Territoriales pour l’Energie Rurale) project develops an integrated approach to the energy efficiency of public buildings that links technical, social and economic challenges. COLEOPTER addresses two energy efficiency challenges in buildings: difficulties for rural municipalities to act and carry out work despite the positive local impact (i.e., energy savings and local employment) and a lack of awareness of building challenges, which leads to irrational use of energy and low renovation rates. The COLEOPTER approach has three components: 1. Territorial dialogue with local actors to co-construct work plans of public buildings. 2. Use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a collaborative tool to support the dialogue. 3. Consideration of water efficiency issues along with energy challenges to better consider usage. The approach will be tested on four public buildings, three to be renovated (in Póvoa do Lanhoso, Portugal; Cartagena, Spain; and Creuse, France) and one new building (in Creuse, France). It will be replicated in Escaldes-Engordany (Andorra) to validate its transferability.

  • The Epidemiology of Multiple Sclerosis in the Entre
    Branco et al. BMC Neurology (2020) 20:195 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12883-020-01755-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The epidemiology of multiple sclerosis in the entre Douro e Vouga region of northern Portugal: a multisource population-based study Mariana Branco1,2, Ivânia Alves3, Ana Martins da Silva4,5, Joaquim Pinheiro6, Maria José Sá7,8, Inês Correia9, Lívia Sousa9, Eva Brandão1, Carlos Veira1, Bernardo Gomes10 and Luis Ruano1,2,11* Abstract: Background: The prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has been increasing worldwide and the north– south gradient of prevalence may be disappearing in the Northern hemisphere. The few previous prevalence studies performed in Portugal have reported a lower prevalence than the average for Western Europe. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of MS in the Entre Douro e Vouga region, in Northern Portugal. Methods: Multiple overlapping sources were used to ascertain all cases from the reference population: records from hospitals in the region and neighbouring regions; diagnostic databases of primary care physicians; and applications for disability benefits. The prevalence date was set at 1 January 2014. The reference population was 274,859 inhabitants. Patients’ neurologists were contacted to retrieve clinical information and confirm the diagnosis based. Results: A total of 177 patients were identified after eliminating duplicates from different sources. The female to male ratio was 1.9 and the mean age at disease onset was 33.5 (standard deviation: 10.3). Clinically isolated syndrome accounted for 9.0% of patients, relapsing remitting for 58.8%, secondary progressive for 20.3% and primary progressive for 11.8%.

  • The Construction of Guilhofrei Dam Through the Regional Press
    International Journal of Humanities, Art and Social Studies (IJHAS), Vol. 1, No.2 THE CONSTRUCTION OF GUILHOFREI DAM THROUGH THE REGIONAL PRESS Pedro Ricardo Coelho De Azevedo ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the importance of the construction of the Guilhofrei dam in the north of Portugal, but known as the Ermal dam, to praise the government and as an inscription of political propaganda. This view is provided by the local press, which strongly supported the government, giving great prominence to their works. This study is unique because the matter described here is found in Historical Archives. KEYWORDS Dams; New Deal; Interventionism; Public Works; Regional Press; 1. INTRODUCTION This paper focuses on the construction of the Guilhofrei dam, or Ermal, in the district of Braga, northern Portugal, and aims to analyze the use of this work as a mechanism for political propaganda through the regional press. The construction of dams had an interventionist policy that followed the interventionist and inflationary policies adopted by other European countries inspired by the New Deal of the USA. These inflationary measures consisted of "public expenditure, mainly investment, to stimulate economic activity" (Nunes & Valério, 2004: 134). After 1926, "a movement in favor of hydraulics in its agricultural and electrical fields was felt in our country. Engineer Ezequiel de Campos (1874-1965), former minister in the office of Dr. José Domingues dos Santos, was a defender of hydroelectric works as a means of revitalizing Portuguese agriculture" (SERRÃO J. V., 1997: 525). Between 1930 and 1945 a program of public works was launched by the Portuguese government, aiming to occupy the unemployed.

  • 1 the Portuguese Railway Network in the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century
    The Portuguese railway network in the second half of the nineteenth century: main actors, debates, and outcomes 1. Introduction The main lines of the Portuguese railway network were built during the second half of the nineteenth century, especially in the period between 1860 and 1890. The first contracts were signed in the 1850s, but their execution was compromised by the lack of experience of its promoters and Portuguese technocrats, whereas in the 1890s investment was hampered by a crippling financial crisis that led to a partial bankruptcy in 1892. By 1900, the grid extended throughout 2,356 km. It included five transnational tracks across the border with Spain and many others serving every district of the country (figure 1 and table 1).1 (FIGURE 1 HERE) Figure 1 – Portuguese railway network.

  • Outdoor Allergenic Fungal Spores: Comparison Between an Urban
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Outdoor Allergenic Fungal Spores: Comparison Between an Urban and a Rural Area in Northern Portugal M Oliveira,1,2 H Ribeiro,1,2 L Delgado,3,4 J Fonseca,4 MG Castel-Branco,3 I Abreu1,2 1Environment, Society and Education Group, Geology Centre, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal 2Botanical Department, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal 3Allergology Department, São João Hospital, Porto, Portugal 4Immunology Department, Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal ■ Abstract Background: The frequency and concentration of many airborne fungal spores associated with respiratory allergy symptoms are infl uenced by geographical and climatic characteristics. Objective: The aim of this work was to monitor the distribution of 11 potentially allergenic fungal spore types in 2 regions with different urbanization levels in Northern Portugal: Porto (urban area) and Amares (rural area). Methods: Airborne fungal spore levels were monitored from 2005 to 2007 using Hirst-type spore traps. The Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the infl uence of meteorological factors (temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall) on spore concentration. Meteorological data from both areas were compared using the t test, and spore concentrations were compared using the sign test. Results: In both areas, Cladosporium, Agaricus, Aspergillus/Penincillium, Alternaria, Coprinus, and rusts were the most abundant fungal types observed. Most of the analyzed spore types presented maximum values during the summer months, with the exception of Polythrincium, Stemphylium, and Torula, which reached a peak earlier in the year, whereas Aspergillus/Penicillium and Botrytis showed a wider distribution. Temperature had a positive effect on most spore concentrations, and relative humidity and rainfall negatively infl uenced concentrations of Alternaria, Cladosporium, Epicoccum, and Torula.
