Analysis of constructed wetland performance for irrigation reuse

Most of the wastewater treatment systems in small rural communities of the Cova da Beira region (Portugal) consist of constructed wetlands (CW) with horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF). It is believed that those systems allow the compliance of discharge standards as well as the production of final effluents with suitability for reuse. Results obtained in a nine-month campaign in an HSSF bed pointed out that COD and TSS removal were lower than expected. A discrete sampling also showed that removal of TC, FC and HE was not enough to fulfill international irrigation goals. However, the bed had a very good response to variation of incoming nitrogen loads presenting high removal of nitrogen forms. A good correlation between mass load and mass removal rate was observed for BOD5, COD, TN, NH4-N, TP and TSS, which shows a satisfactory response of the bed to the variable incoming loads. The entrance of excessive loads of organic matter and solids contributed for the decrease of the effective volume for pollutant uptake and therefore, may have negatively influenced the treatment capability. Primary treatment should be improved in order to decrease the variation of incoming organic and solid loads and to improve the removal of COD, solids and pathogenic. The final effluent presented good physical–chemical quality to be reused for irrigation, which is the most likely application in the area

“Entre séculos”: para uma abordagem histórico-literária da poesia portuguesa entre o Barroco e a Ilustração

Questionando a aplicabilidade do modelo periodológico das histórias romântica e positivista ao estudo da poesia portuguesa dos sécs. xvii-xviii, este texto pretende indagar sobre novas possibilidades metodológicas surgidas no domínio da teorização contemporânea. Teremos, assim, em consideração um âmbito particular, visando o contexto literário entre Barroco e Ilustração (Bègue, Ruiz Pérez); a que somamos o âmbito geral da historiografia literária contemporânea, no qual se propõem novas abordagens temáticas e modelos alternativos de configuração do sentido (Bourdieu, Greenblatt, Valdés). Em suma, procuramos levar a efeito uma revalorização da literatura setecentista através dos instrumentos da nova história literária. História Literária que, através da assimilação de um conjunto de novas perspetivas (sociológicas e hermenêuticas), se nos afigura como percurso renovado, capaz de responder aos desafios institucionais e críticos que a constituem

El maniquí como metáfora de la condición humana : De cómo las artes visuales y el diseño de indumentaria comparten códigos en común

La moda y las artes visuales han estado en íntima relación desde hace tiempo. Uno se ha servido del otro como fuente de inspiración. Partiendo de este pensamiento relacional e indagando más allá de la estética que puedan presentar uno y otro respectivamente, el trabajo aborda las correspondencias (diseño y arte) a partir de un elemento común: el maniquí. Personaje que se sitúa entre los hombres y los objetos. Figura que nos remite a un mundo no humano que pone en evidencia la crisis existencial del hombre contemporáneo y su propia condición humana. En esta línea, el trabajo considera las obras de De Chirico, Cindy Sherman, Nicholas Cope, Dustin Arnold y Muriel Nisse, entre otros y, se fundamenta en las voces de Nietzsche, Deleuze, Luc Nancy y Kristeva, por nombrar a algunos.Eje 3: La interdisciplina en las producciones artísticas.Facultad de Bellas Arte

A POESIA BARROCA NOS MANUAIS E ANTOLOGIAS ESCOLARES: DESCENTRAR O CÂNONE?

O presente texto tem como intuito geral mapear a presença da poesia do período barroco nos manuais e seletas escolares desde meados do século XIX até à atualidade. Para tal, centramo-nos na análise dos excertos críticos e comentários numa antologia em que as composições dos cancioneiros barrocos assumem destaque: Textos Literários – Séculos XVII e XVIII, da autoria de Maria Ema Tarracha Ferreira. Tendo sido publicada pela primeira vez em 1967, esta obra conheceu várias edições ao longo da década de 70 do século XX e constitui a fonte de onde se extraiu o pequeno conjunto de poemas no manual Aula Viva de Literatura Portuguesa (10.º ano), de 2010. Procurando compreender em que medida o cânone escolar reflete a evolução das perspetivas da história e da crítica literária, este estudo levar-nos-á em última instância a indagar sobre uma conceção definidora do cânone da literatura portuguesa

Leigh syndrome with atypical cerebellar lesions

Leigh Syndrome is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by mitochondrial dysfunction, with significant phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity. It usually presents in early life, with a severe prognosis. It can be caused by more than 75 different gene mutations, of nuclear and mitochondrial origin, involving all respiratory chain complexes, with less than 25% of Leigh syndrome having mitochondrial DNA mutations. The typical pathologic hallmarks are focal, bilateral, and symmetric lesions in the basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, cerebral white matter and spinal cord gray matter, usually with T2WI and FLAIR hyperintensity. The basal ganglia and thalami frequently present with a pattern of cytotoxic edema. We present one case with clinical and analytical features consistent with Leigh Syndrome, with peculiar imaging features, showing dominant cerebellar edematous changes with unexpected petechial component suggestive of microangiopathy. To our knowledge, these features are unreported and suggest the existence of microvascular lesions. Based on the reported imaging findings, we propose that Leigh Syndrome should be added to the differential diagnosis of acute cerebellitis.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
