    Preconiza-se, neste trabalho, a necessidade de inserir de modo sistemático e especializado na formação de formadores na área da Educação Mediática em Portugal a diversidade das reflexões teóricas e, em particular, críticas sobre a comunicação e os média. Partindo da crítica do “Paradigma Dominante” (Gitlin), do construcionismo de Luhmann e da crítica funcional (Breed) avança-se com propostas concretas.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Conhecer para dominar : o desenvolvimento do conhecimento antropológico na política colonial portuguesa em Moçambique, 1926-1959

    Em Portugal, a Antropologia, enquanto prática científica nas suas diversas assunções, leva já um século de existência, estando todavia por fazer uma História da Antropologia Portuguesa. Existem, é certo, visões parcelares, mas mesmo essas surgidas apenas nas últimas duas décadas e referindo-se, quase que exclusivamente, ao contexto «metropolitano»10. A dimensão colonial, ou tem sido sistematicamente ignorada, ou tem-se prestado a leituras algo marcadas por uma visão demasiado ideológica 11. Esse quase desconhecimento do seu próprio passado poderá ter origem naquela «cegueira histórica» referida por Thomas Kuhn e que conduz, como consequência mais evidente, a «uma distorção drástica da percepção que o cientista possui do passado da sua disciplina»12, ou, então, resultar do relativo atraso da Antropologia Portuguesa. Mas estas são leituras demasiado extemporâneas, isto é, sem que se proceda à retrospecção factual e analítica das práticas antropológicas portuguesas não se poderá emitir qualquer parecer nessa área. Torna-se imperioso, por isso mesmo, reconstituir a História da Antropologia Portuguesa, conhecer as suas motivações, dar conta das suas limitações, o que conduzirá, necessariamente, a uma mais completa compreensão das suas realizações, tanto as do passado, como as do presente

    A «Missão etognósica de Moçambique». A codificação dos «usos e costumes indígenas» no direito colonial português. Notas de Investigação

    A política colonial portuguesa tem sido, não raras vezes, julgada como um todo integral, obedecendo a objectivos políticos, ideológicos e económicos muito bem definidos e claros, de tal forma que tende-se a estabelecer uma relação redutoramente determinista. Tal asserção parece ser particularmente operante quando se leva em consideração, por exemplo, a política colonial do Estado Novo, na crença de que entre os preceitos ideológicos, as disposições legislativas e as realizações práticas de ta..

    Salinity and Atrazine Sublethal Levels Induce Gill Cells Basolateral Membrane Phospholipids Modulation in Sea Lamprey Downstream Migrants

    Conditions experienced by anadromous fishes while in freshwater may be critical to their subsequent survival in the sea. During the trophic migration to the ocean, juveniles of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.) are exposed to several stress factors, including different types of pollutants. We analyzed gill histopathological biomarkers, characterized the lipid profile of the basolateral membrane (BLM) of gill cells, and determined NKA activity, in order to evaluate if BLM lipid profile system plays a part in modulation of NKA activity and may be involved in the successful acclimation of sea lamprey juveniles during downstream migration

    Geodynamic evolution of the SW Europe Variscides

    Abstract The early evolution of SW Europe Variscides started by opening of the Rheic ocean at 500 Ma, splitting Avalonia from Armorica/Iberia. Subduction on the SE side of Rheic generated the Paleotethys back-arc basin (430–390 Ma, splitting Armorica from Iberia), with development of Porto-Tomar-Ferreira do Alentejo (PTFA) dextral transform defining the boundary between continental Armorica and Finisterra microplate to the W. Obduction of Paleotethys was followed by Armorica/Iberia collision and emplacement of NW Iberian Allochthonous Units at 390–370 Ma, whereas toward the west of PTFA, there was antithetic ophiolite obduction (Beja-Acebuches and Rheic ophiolites plus Finisterra continental slices) on top of Ossa-Morena Zone, with simultaneous development of eclogites and orogenic magmatism under a flake–double wedge tectonic regime. Continued convergence (<370 Ma) proceeded by intracontinental deformation, with progressive tightening of the Ibero-Armorican Arc through dextral transpression on the Cantabrian Indentor, from Iberia to Armorica. The proposed model is discussed at the light of the driving mechanism of ‘‘soft plate tectonics.’

    MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugal

    Get PDF
    Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associatedwith habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam-mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion formarine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is cru-cial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS INPORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublishedgeoreferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mam-mals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira thatincludes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occur-ring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live obser-vations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%),bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent lessthan 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrowsjsoil moundsjtunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animaljhairjskullsjjaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8),observation in shelters, (9) photo trappingjvideo, (10) predators dietjpelletsjpine cones/nuts, (11) scatjtrackjditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalizationjecholocation. The spatial uncertainty of most records ranges between 0 and100 m (76%). Rodentia (n=31,573) has the highest number of records followedby Chiroptera (n=18,857), Carnivora (n=18,594), Lagomorpha (n=17,496),Cetartiodactyla (n=11,568) and Eulipotyphla (n=7008). The data setincludes records of species classified by the IUCN as threatened(e.g.,Oryctolagus cuniculus[n=12,159],Monachus monachus[n=1,512],andLynx pardinus[n=197]). We believe that this data set may stimulate thepublication of other European countries data sets that would certainly contrib-ute to ecology and conservation-related research, and therefore assisting onthe development of more accurate and tailored conservation managementstrategies for each species.

    Search for new particles in events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

    Get PDF
    A search is presented for new particles produced at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, using events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 101 fb(-1), collected in 2017-2018 with the CMS detector. Machine learning techniques are used to define separate categories for events with narrow jets from initial-state radiation and events with large-radius jets consistent with a hadronic decay of a W or Z boson. A statistical combination is made with an earlier search based on a data sample of 36 fb(-1), collected in 2016. No significant excess of events is observed with respect to the standard model background expectation determined from control samples in data. The results are interpreted in terms of limits on the branching fraction of an invisible decay of the Higgs boson, as well as constraints on simplified models of dark matter, on first-generation scalar leptoquarks decaying to quarks and neutrinos, and on models with large extra dimensions. Several of the new limits, specifically for spin-1 dark matter mediators, pseudoscalar mediators, colored mediators, and leptoquarks, are the most restrictive to date.Peer reviewe
