    Dissertação de mestrado em Património CulturalA Romaria em honra de Nossa Sra. da Fé é uma manifestação religiosa e cultural que remonta ao segundo quartel do século XVIII, e que se realiza anualmente no último fim de semana do mês de maio, na freguesia de Cantelães, concelho de Vieira do Minho. Trata-se de um evento de carácter religioso, invocando o culto à Nossa Senhora da Fé, mas também de uma festa com uma forte tradição cultural, envolvendo as bandas filarmónicas do concelho. Esta ocasião reveste-se de especial importância para o Arciprestado de Vieira do Minho, dado que envolve a comunidade Vieirense e todas as paróquias do concelho. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo demonstrar a relevância do registo desta manifestação religiosa no Inventário Nacional do Património Cultural Imaterial. De forma a compreender os conceitos chaves deste trabalho e conhecer a romaria do passado e a atual, é oportuno concentrar o trabalho na pesquisa bibliográfica e na observação direta do caso em estudo.The Pilgrimage in honor of Our Lady of Fé is a religious and cultural manifestation dating back to the second quarter of the 18th century, and held annually on the last weekend of May, in the parish of Cantelães, municipality of Vieira do Minho. This is an event of a religious nature, invoking the worship of Our Lady of Faith, but also a pilgrimage with a strong cultural tradition, involving the county's philharmonic bands. This occasion is of special importance for the Vieira do Minho Arciprestate, as it involves the Vieirense community and all the parishes this municipality.Esta dissertação tem por objetivo demonstrar a relevância do registo desta manifestação religiosa no Inventário Nacional do Património Cultural Imaterial. In order to understand the key concepts of this work and to know the past and present pilgrimage, it is appropriate to focus the work on bibliographic research and direct observation of the case under study

    NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

    No full text
    Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data

    Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

    As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
