Considering that is an environmental but also a social gap, the authors understand it is necessary to con- tribute to the social understanding of monumental trees through the promotion of scientific culture in botany, as an important means to emphasize its value as an endogenous differen- tiation element of each region. It is also intended to mobilize the general public, to identify and propose the classification of trees with monumental characteristics. Keywords: Legislation; monumental trees; scientific literacy.

Com base nos processos de classificação, compreendidos entre 1939 e 2012, do Registo Nacional do Arvoredo de Interesse Público, do Instituto da Conservação da Natureza e das Florestas, verificou-se que dos 278 municípios, correspondentes às cinco Regiões de Turismo de Portugal Continental, 130 municípios não possuem processos de classificação. Por se considerar ser esta uma lacuna, não só em termos ambientais, como sociais, sentimos a necessidade de contribuir para a compreensão social do arvoredo monu- mental, através da realização de atividades de promoção da cultura científica, na área da Botânica, como um importante meio para enfatizar o seu valor como elemento de diferen- Recebido: maio 2018.

    S/ S/ OZAMBIQUE AND THE MOZAMBIQUE INSTITUTE History of the Mozambinue Institute 1. -The Mozambique Institute had its beginnings as an idea in colonial Mlozambique in 1961. The late president of the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO), Dr. Eduardo Mondlane, returned with his wife to his countr y whered'they spent several months before going back to his work at the United Nations. He wanted to see if conditions had changed for the better in his homeland, for he had grown up in the colonial structuie. He hoped against-hope that the Portuguese had bent under international pressure and begun to ease their oppressive .colonial rure. But there was no change: the crushing poverty, the fear that stood out in sweat on the faces of the -Africans, the arrogance of the Portuguese demanding his "cafezinho'l- "n.the street cafes, and the lingering hope in the eyes of the young people as they visited Niondlanels house to talk ibout how they could contknue in school. Education. There lay their -hope and for the time being, there was little that could be done to help. 2. In 1962, after the formation of FREL!h40 when the KMIondlanels knew they would be residing in Tanganyika, Jnet Viondlane made a request I to the Ford Foundation of New York to give a grant to-build a boarding house in Dar es Salaam where young Mvozam-bican refugees could live while they attended local secondary sch-ols, The Foundation gave the grant, and with it enough funds to run the pr-cg_-, amme for the first year.: It was a good building built for 50 studc-'s.

It moves on to analyse the Portuguese economy through one of its central characteristics, the extensive use of the workforce, arguing that the availability of labour has not led to good entrepreneurial organization, since innovation and inclusion are lacking. Labour is, therefore, the basis of growth, though not of fair redistribution. The dilemmas of the Portuguese economy are additionally affected by what occurs in its limited export markets. Keywords: Portuguese economy; labour; growth; inequalities. Cold Blood was so disdainful that he even scorned God. He explained: I dot tust ubiquitous blokes.

A tour of the political geography of Portugal along the time Julio López-Davalillo Larrea 1 Recibido 23/04/2012 Aceptado13/06/2012 Resumen: La regionalización de Portugal continental viene recorriendo un tortuoso camino desde 1974. Al re - chazo de la regionalización en el referéndum de noviembre de 1998 siguió una especie de larga resaca, pero desde el año 2010 el debate regional se ha colado en la agenda política. De nuevo se proponen mapas re - gionales –hay dos en discusión– y la geografía física, política e histórica de nuestros vecinos del oeste es la coartada en que se apoyan uno u otro proyecto regional.

Abstract: The regionalization of continental Portugal has traveled a difficult road since 1974. The rejection of the proposed regionalization in the November 1998 referendum meant a long hiatus, but since 2010 the region - al debate is back on the political agenda of the country. Again regional maps have been proposed –two are in discussion– and the physical, political and historical geography of our neighbors to the west is the alibi in which either supports one or the others regional project. Key Words: regionalization, provinces, comarcas, districts, NUTS, referendum, concelhos and freguesías.

  • A Linha De Velocidade Elevada (LVE) a Construir Entre Porto E Vigo
    Integrar o Aeroporto Sá Carneiro na Linha de Velocidade Elevada Porto­Galiza através da Linha de Leixões António Alves 10‐01‐2008 As grandes vantagens desta proposta são não pôr em causa o objectivo de ligar Porto a Vigo em 60 minutos, a facilidade de construção e o baixo custo financeiro. Esta ligação será sempre muitíssimo mais barata que uma solução em túnel e com prazos de construção incomparavelmente menores. António Alves, 10 de Janeiro de 2008 Integrar o Aeroporto Sá Carneiro na Linha de Velocidade Elevada Porto-Galiza através da Linha de Leixões Enquadramento Segundo as propostas tornadas públicas pelo Governo, a Linha de Velocidade Elevada (LVE) a construir entre Porto e Vigo assentará basicamente, pelo menos numa primeira fase, no aproveitamento de parte do actual traçado da Linha do Minho (Porto Campanhã a Nine), Ramal de Braga (Nine a Braga) e na construção de um novo troço entre Braga e Valença. Será construída em bitola1 ibérica (1668 mm), mas o novo troço Braga -Valença será desde já assente em travessas polivalentes a fim de no futuro facilitar a sua migração para a bitola europeia (1435 mm). A linha estará vocacionada para tráfego misto (mercadorias e passageiros); a velocidade de projecto será de 250 km/h de modo a permitir um tempo de percurso na casa dos 60 minutos entre as cidades do Porto e Vigo. Na prática esta linha oferecerá um serviço de passageiros em tudo idêntico ao que é actualmente oferecido na Linha do Norte pelos comboios Alfa Pendular, os quais tecnicamente são Comboios de Velocidade Elevada (CVE).

  • Teaching Geography in PORTUGAL: Going Back to the Future
    PROBLEMS OF EDUCATION IN THE 21st CENTURY Volume 27, 2011 30 TEACHING GEOGRAPHY IN PORTUGAL: GOING BACK TO THE FUTURE Sérgio Claudino University of Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The teaching of Geography in Portugal is going through a period of crisis. The educational authorities recently joined together initial Geography teacher education and initial History teacher education which means that the two subjects are likely to be integrated. The programmes being followed today reveal several contradictions among themselves, mainly because they have overlapping texts produced at different dates and with various approaches and rely on school textbooks that fail to reflect the development of the competences defended by the educational authorities. The Geography Teachers Association launched a manifesto in 2010 in defence of Geography education. In renewing Geography education in Portugal and restoring the projection it enjoyed during the 19th century when it clearly adopted some of the targets deemed important by the society of the time, demands were made for more thorough-going didactic research and for closer dialogue with the institutions and their school actors. On the other hand, it is also necessary to call upon geographical information technologies that are central to a subject which deals with mapping out the country. Last but not least, it is urgent to promote an active sense of territorial citizenship thereby responding to a growing appeal for the population to participate in community decision-making in the sphere of governance. Key words: cycles, classroom procedures, challenges, geography, territorial governance. Introduction We are witnessing the severe questioning of European education systems, particularly in the social sciences, which includes Geography, as apparently incapable of responding to the challenges of the “Lisbon Strategy” (2000) - with its marked economicist concerns, accentuated by the current financial crisis.
