  • Faial, Blue, Cosmopolitan Island
    Faial, blue, cosmopolitan island ABOUT Photo: Publiçor Faial, blue, cosmopolitan island Faial is located in the central group of the Azores archipelago, and is part of the so called "triangle islands", together with São Jorge and the neighbouring Island of Pico, separated by the Faial Channel, a narrow sea inlet about 8 km wide. The Island covers an area of about 172km2, and is 21km long, with a maximum width of 14km. It was discovered in 1427 and colonised in 1432 by a number of Flemish settlers. It was given the name Faial because there are many beech trees here (faias), but no other island can boast such a huge mass of hydrangeas in different shades of blue, which frame the houses, separate the fields and border the roads, justifying the nickname Blue Island. Faial underwent considerable development from the 17th century on, making it an important trading post due to its geographical position as a safe haven between Europe and the Americas. More recently it was the communications hub between the continents and today is a mandatory point of reference for international yachting. The highest point is Cabeço Gordo, in the centre of the island, at 1,043m above sea level. It is a magnificent natural viewpoint which in fine weather enables you to see all the islands of the triangle and as far as Graciosa. Close by lies a huge crater called Caldeira, about 2km in diameter and 400m deep. It is surrounded by blue hydrangeas and lush vegetation, amongst which cedars, junipers, beeches, ferns and mosses stand out, and some of which are important examples of the original vegetation of the island.

  • Paclt J. Collembola from the Azores and Madeira, Collected by the Lund
    ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA MUSEI NATIONALIS PRAGAE .1 9 6 1, X X X I V, 5 8 6 COLLEMBOLA FROM THE AZORES AND MADEIRA, COLLECTED BY THE LUND UNIVERSITY EXPEDITION IN 1957 JIRf PACLT (Department of Zoology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Czechoslovakia) Introduction . The present report deals with the material of Collembola collected during a Lund University Expedition in 1957 to the Azores and Madeira, by Dr. and Mrs. Per Brinck and Dr. and Mrs. Erik Dahl. From late February to the middle of April1957, the expedition investigated six of nine islands of the Azores, viz. Santa Maria, Sao Miguel, Terceira, Pico, Faial and Flares; at the end of April 1957 the main island of Madeira was visited. I. Previous work on the Collembola of the Azores and Madeira From the Azores only eleven species of Collembola have previously been recorded: Smynthurus fuse us L. ( = Allacma fuse a [ L.]), Macrotoma tridentifera Tullb. ( = Tomocerus minor [ Lubb.]), Templetonia major Mo­ niez ( = H eteromurus major [ Moniez]),? Lepidocyrtus lanuginosus Gmel. ( = ? a young Entomobrya), Isotoma tullbergi Moniez ( = Isotomurus pa­ lustris [ 0. 'F. Mull.]), Entomobrya multifasciata Tullb. ( = E. nivalis [ L.]), Xenylla humicola 0. Fabr. nom. dub. ( = X. maritima Tullb.), ? Anuropho­ rus sp. ( = ? Uzelia setifera Abs.), Lipura agilis Moniez ( = Onychiurus ambulans [ Nic.]), Lipura bipunctata Moniez nom. dub. ( = Onychiurus ghidinii Gis. an 0. pseudinermis Born.?). All these species were recorded by Moniez (1889). Finally, Stach (1951) mentions Neanura . muscorum (Templ.) from the Azores. Our knowledge of the Madeiran Collembola was, on the other hand, relatively advanced when I began to write the present report. Thanks to the work done by Agrell (1939), Delamare Deboutteville and Bassot (1957), Gisin (1958) and Gama (1959), the list of identified Collembola previously recorded from Madeira contained about 60 different species.

  • Damage in Ancient Churches During the 9 of July 1998
    0780 DAMAGE IN ANCIENT CHURCHES DURING THE 9TH OF JULY 1998 AZORES EARTHQUAKE Luis GUERREIRO1, João AZEVEDO2, Jorge PROENÇA3, Rita BENTO4 And Mário LOPES5 SUMMARY In the 9th of July of 1998, an earthquake of magnitude 6.2, on the Richter scale, occurred in the Azores Islands. The earthquake was registered in almost all the islands of the archipelago but with structural damage occurring mainly in the Faial and Pico islands. Massive damage occurred, with intensities larger than VIII in the Modified Mercalli scale. Some villages were almost completely destroyed. This paper focuses on the earthquake performance of ancient churches of the Faial and Pico islands and aims at describing and interpreting the most significant types of damage sustained by this type of unreinforced stone masonry structures, with large exterior walls, inner arches and light wooden roofs. The study presented on this paper is based on the in-situ damage observation on 30 churches. The damage modes and possible collapse mechanisms were identified to all the churches and the damage level of each one were quantified based on a set of indicators. The observed damage was correlated with the structural typology, with the quality of the construction and with past interventions suffered by the churches. The observation of the different constructions allowed the clear identification of typical patterns of structural damage. These patterns and the observed damage levels are very dependent on the seismic action level, on the quality of the masonry used in the constructions and on the existence of structural interventions made in the sequence of previous seismic events.

  • A Gripe Espanhola No Quadro Das Epidemias Históricas Da Ilha Do Faial Maria Norberta Amorim1
    A Gripe Espanhola no quadro das epidemias históricas da Ilha do Faial Maria Norberta Amorim1 1 Investigadora do CITCEM|FLUP – Grupo de Populações e Saúde, [email protected] Resumo Pelo tráfico aéreo, desde as últimas décadas do século XX, qualquer ilha aço- riana liga-se, várias vezes por semana, a um exterior sucessivamente alargado, sem qualquer entrave à eventual circulação de epidemias. Em períodos anteri- ores, em que apenas se contavam as ligações por mar, a entrada de epidemias podia acontecer de forma desfasada, afetando diretamente as zonas portuárias e preservando frequentemente zonas rurais mais afastadas. No caso da ilha do Faial, com um excelente porto de mar, verificamos que a gripe espanhola entrou na ilha com incidência marcada apenas no mês que decorre de 27 de novembro a 27 de dezembro de 1918, não tomado as proporções de grande crise. Utilizámos para esse estudo registos de óbito da Conservatória do Registo Civil da Horta, de janeiro de 1913 a dezembro de 1923, já disponibilizados ao público, enquadrando 1918 nos cinco anos anteriores e posteriores, com aplicação da me- todologia de Livi-Bacci e Del Panta para tais casos. Estando os registos paroquiais anteriores a 1911 disponíveis on line, tivemos cu- riosidade em saber como a ilha do Faial, apesar do porto da Horta se abrir desde cedo ao tráfico intercontinental, lidou historicamente com epidemias de crise. A exploração sistemática dos registos de óbitos, freguesia a freguesia, fez-nos concluir que apenas no século XIX, com entradas de epidemias de varíola, a instabilidade da morte esteve mais presente, comprometendo o crescimento da população, já afetado por uma intensa emigração.
