- Adaptacao de 6 variedades de gossypium hirsutum l. A o regadio do caia. Analises do crecimiento, producao e qualidade da fibraPublication . Barradas, Gonçalo Júdice Pargana AntunesCon el presente trabajo se pretende contribuir para el estudio del crecimiento, producción y calidad de la fibra de Gossypium hirsutum L., cultivado en condiciones ecológicas en el perímetro de riego del Caia (Alentejo, Portugal). Con este objetivo instalamos un ensayo con 6 variedades ('Carmen', 'Celia', 'Crema', 'Flora', 'Lacta' e 'Sonia'), de ciclo medio-curto a medio-longo, sembradas en 3 fechas de siembra (19/04, 30/04 y 16/05 en 2002, 20/03, 3/04 y 17/04 en 2003), en la Finca de Comenda (38º 54’ N, 7º 03’ W). Se han verificado diferencias entre las variedades en el porcentaje de germinación y en los testes frío (18ºC, 7 días) y standard (30ºC, 4 días), registrando las semillas de ‘Celia’ y ‘Sonia’ mayores índices de vigor. La tasa de crecimiento relativa presentó una marcada tendencia decreciente, justo desde los primeros estadios de desarrollo de las plantas, mientras que la tasa neta de asimilación presentó una tendencia creciente hasta finales de Julio, decreciendo después continuamente hasta el final del ciclo, con lo incremento del índice de área foliar (LAI) y la reducción de la temperatura y del número de horas de luz. No se han observado diferencias entre las variedades o fechas de siembra en los periodos del año en que se registraron los valores máximos de LAI y del índice de crecimiento del cultivo (CGR), observándose LAI máximo con un desfase de 10 a 31 días relativamente a CGR máximo. El nudo de inserción de la primera rama fructífera (NFFB) inferior se encontró en la variedad ‘Celia’ y en la fecha de siembra más precoz. El cutout (NAWF = 5) se verificó entre el 20 de Julio (‘Celia’ en la siembra precoz) y 19 de Agosto (‘Flora’ en la siembra tardía), reduciéndose con el retraso de la fecha de siembra, en todas las variedades, el número de días después siembra (DAS) hasta el cutout. Los daños provocados por Earias sp. y Heliothis/Helicoverpa, plagas que determinaron una elevada pérdida precoz de formas fructíferas, resultaron en números de DAS hasta NAWF= 5 relativamente elevados, característicos de plantas sin una carga fructífera suficiente para transferir los asimilados disponibles del crecimiento vegetativo. Esta circunstancia, asociada a condiciones térmicas poco favorables al crecimiento y maduración de las cápsulas formadas más tarde, resultaran en reducidos índices de cosecha y bajas retenciones, principalmente en las primeras posiciones de fructificación y en los simpódios localizados más en bajo en la canópia. Se han observado diferencias significativas en la producción de algodón bruto entre variedades, con la variedad 'Celia', aquella que también evidenció más caracteres de precocidad, a atingir producciones más elevadas. Lo retraso de la fecha de siembra, aunque permita mejores condiciones para la emergencia y crecimiento inicial de las plantas, reduce la estación de crecimiento disponible, tiendo al final un efecto negativo en la producción de algodón-bruto. Así, la producción de algodón en la región del Caia exige la utilización de variedades de ciclo corto y fechas de siembra precoces, sendo decisivo conseguir una elevada retención de cápsulas en las primeras posiciones y ramas simpodiales para que lo periodo de crecimiento y maduración de las cápsulas aún coincida con condiciones ambientales favorables. No se verificaran diferencias significativas, entre variedades y fechas de siembra, en la clasificación de grado de color de las fibras producidas, aunque se tengan observado diferencias en algunos de los índices de calidad comercial y tecnológica. En la actual moldura de precios e ayudas de la Unión Europea, las productividades más elevadas se sitúan muy cerca del umbral de rentabilidad del cultivo.
- Agricultural Land, Sustainable Food and Crop Productivity: An Empirical Analysis on Environmental Sustainability as a Moderator from the Economy of ChinaPublication . Fahmida Laghari; Farhan Ahmed; Babar Ansari; Paulo Jorge Silveira FerreiraThe availability of agricultural land is central to stimulating reserves in sustainable food and crop production amidst accelerating economic sustainability and growth. Therefore, this article aims to investigate the influence of agricultural land (AGL) on food production (FP) and crop production (CP) with the linkage of environmental sustainability (ES) as a moderator from 1990 to 2021 for the economy of China with the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing estimation model. Our findings showed that the ARDL model estimates the long-term and short-term joint matching relationships between agricultural land and the independent variables in the model, which is a statistically significant outcome. Therefore, in the long term, the food and crop production adjustment for speed to steadiness was huge as it was projected at 1.337%, 53.6%, 133.5%, and 37.4%, respectively, in all the models, which shows that the adjustment for speed of models is a good post-shock association process. We found evidence for a significant and positive relationship between agricultural land and food and crop production in ordinary least square (OLS) estimation, which also ensured the outcomes of the primary model. Furthermore, Toda–Yamamoto Granger causality test estimation found reverse causality between food production (FP) and crop production (CP) and showed evidence of the conservation hypothesis. We found bidirectional causality between food production and agricultural land and between crop production and agricultural land, which shows evidence of the feedback hypothesis. Additionally, the empirical findings of a robustness check with fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) techniques showed consistency with the investigations of ARDL estimation in the long run, ensuring the validity and strength of the primary outcomes. Overall, the present paper brings fresh knowledge about agricultural land use, and food and crop production to promote environmental sustainability
- Alignment between the Strategic Plans of Island Regions and the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable DevelopmentPublication . Mourato, Joaquim; Jose, Ana; IntechopenThe climate of increasing competitiveness between cities, leads to an urgent need for territorial actors to find solutions, so that cities become a more attractive space for different targets. Although cities are considered centers of innovation and social and economic development, their unplanned and unsustainable growth has resulted in harmful consequences for the environment, community, tourism, among others. This research aims to make a comparative analysis between the Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development of Cape Verde, the National Development Plan of São Tomé and Príncipe and the Proposal for the Sustainable Development Plan of the Autonomous Region of Príncipe, considering the theoretical contributions and the guidelines of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It concludes about the similarities and differences between the plans, both in terms of the depth of the elements analyzed, as well as in alignment with the Agenda 2030.

- Analysis of EU investment on rural development and its impact on Portuguese rural regions in the period 2011-2021Publication . Isabel Abreu; Joaquim Mourato; Francisco J. MesiasEU's rural areas are an essential part of the European way of life, covering more than 75 % of the Union's territory and housing over 25 % of its population. However, they experience major imbalances compared to urban areas. Thus, it is important to analyse whether EU's rural development (RD) policy is effective in promoting the development of rural areas. This study uses a RD index for 9 Portuguese NUTS 3 regions, with data from 2011 and 2021. The results are then compared with the financial support delivered by EU funds and show their impact on RD in Portugal
- Application of Multifractal Analysis in Estimating the Reaction of Energy Markets to Geopolitical Acts and ThreatsPublication . Aslam, Faheem; Ferreira, Paulo; Ali, Haider; Ercília José, AnaSince the industrial revolution, the geopolitics of energy has been a driver of global prosperity and security, and determines the survival of life on our planet. This study examines the nonlinear structure and multifractal behavior of the cross-correlation between geopolitical risk and energy markets (West Texas Intermediate (WTI), Brent, natural gas and heating oil), using the multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis reveals different associations of the indices of overall geopolitical risk, geopolitical acts, and geopolitical threats against the four energy products. Based on daily data ranging from 1 January 1985 to 30 August 2021, the findings confirm the presence of nonlinear dependencies, suggesting that geopolitical risk and energy markets are interlinked. Furthermore, significant multifractal characteristics are found and the degree of multifractality is stronger between the overall geopolitical risk and WTI while the lowest degree of multifractality is with Brent. Overall, for the WTI and heating-oil markets, the influence of geopolitical threats is more pronounced rather than their fulfilment. Contrarily, the Brent and natural gas are more correlated to geopolitical acts. Energy products exhibit heterogeneous persistence levels of cross-correlation with all the indicators of geopolitical risk, being more persistent in the case of small fluctuations compared to large fluctuations.
- Avaliação preliminar sobre a inteligência emocional de professores de ciências em formação continuada [Preliminary assessment of the emotional intelligence of science teachers in continuous training]Publication . Solino, E.; Miranda, S. C.; Valente, S. N.Inteligência Emocional é uma variável psicológica essencial aos professores. Distintos estudos indicam que os professores que apresentam mais inteligência emocional vivenciam menos situações de estresse. Assim, este estudo teve por objetivo analisar os níveis de inteligência emocional e de stress percebido em professores. Participaram 18 professores de Ciências da Educação Básica (Midade= 40,1; DP=7,0) que são ingressantes no Mestrado Profissional em Ensino de Ciências na Universidade Estadual de Goiás. Foram aplicados os instrumentos: Escala de inteligência emocional e a Escala de stress percebido para avaliar as percepções dos professores relativamente a estes constructos. Através da análise estatística, usando o programa SPSS, os resultados indicaram que os professores pontuam mais na dimensão avaliação das próprias emoções, e que percepcionam o stress como de nível baixo. Com base nos resultados é sugerido o desenvolvimento de ações de intervenção voltadas ao engrandecimento da inteligência emocional dos professores com foco na regulação das emoções
- Being a Foster Family in Portugal—Motivations and ExperiencesPublication . Diogo, Elisete; Branco, Francisco: Foster care is an almost absent component in the child care system and scientific research conducted in Portugal foster comprises 3.2%1 of out-of-home care in Portugal. This research aims to contribute to a deeper visibility of the care phenomena, giving specific attention to the foster families themselves. This research adopted a qualitative analytical approach, inspired by Grounded Theory. Foster families’ motivation is rooted in altruism, affection for children, and sensitivity to maltreatment. Personal and professional biography or past contact with out-of-home care can also induce predisposition to become a carer. The experience of being a carer2 is one of traversing through a life of many challenges and rewards. Considering the recognition from the stakeholders, it is a rewarding task. The quality of the service provided and the performance of the care professionals are both key elements to foster care.
- The benefits of internationalization in higher Education. The experience in portuguese polytechnics.Publication . Mourato, JoaquimThe European Commission [4] states that each Member State should adjust its national strategies to enhance its potential and international presence and attract talent. Account must be taken of both the national skills shortage and the lack of intercultural skills and the knowledge and research needs of their developing partner countries. Globalization is a process of great expansion, irreversible and with deep implications in all areas. This process will result in new opportunities and new challenges for the next generations of students and teachers looking to develop in an increasingly interdependent context. The Portuguese polytechnics, through the implementation of a concerted internationalization strategy between the institutions, have already achieved significant results in terms of international affiliations, international student and teacher and non-teaching staff mobility, joint programs and degrees and joint research projects. The internationalization of Portuguese higher education institutions (HEI) in recent years confirms the trend towards globalization of higher educa
