- Aprendizagem com base em processos de cocriação: o exemplo do DEMOLA® no Instituto Politécnico de SetúbalPublication . Silva, Maria Alcina Velho Dourado da; Ruivo, Maria Alice Gois; Ramos, Bernardo; PICOITO, CÉLIA; Serralha, F. N.; Angelino, F J A; Caria, Helena; Vinagre, João; Pires, José; Pereira, NunoAssistimos, atualmente a inúmeras parcerias e projetos de âmbito nacional e internacional na área da formação ativa, com recurso à utilização de ferramentas digitais e assentes em processos de cocriação entre diferentes parceiros, com o objetivo de se obterem processos/percursos mais criativos e adequados, que respondam de forma eficaz aos desafios científicos que vivemos e se avizinham. Neste artigo procede-se à apresentação, de forma sumária, da participação de um grupo de docentes do Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal no Projeto DEMOLA®. Apresentamos os objetivos, a constituição das equipas e a metodologia de trabalho estabelecida. Descrevemos as principais fases que constituem o desenvolvimento do projeto no âmbito do IPS e os resultados que obtivemos da análise de todas componentes (formação estudantes, docentes, desafios com as empresas/ organizações e perceções de toda a equipa). Salientam-se o desenvolvimento de competências instrumentais (Canva, Miro, PESTLE, Portefólio); competências científicas/pedagógicas (Trabalho em Equipa, Abordagem Multiprofissional, Processos de Cocriação, Design Thinking, Pesquisa, Facilitação, Pensamento Disruptivo e Coconstrução, entre outros); e situações de “win-win”, ou melhor “learn-learn” entre facilitadores e estudantes, inovação, intergerações, sustentabilidade e liberdade de pensamento.

- Hydrocarbon bioremediation studies in portuguese soil samplesPublication . Almeida, Sofia; Serralha, F. N.; Coelho, CláudiaExperimental studies were carried out, referring to the verification of the existence and characterization of hydrocarbonoclastic organisms in soil samples obtained in two different areas, one located on the outskirts of the city (Praia da Alburrica), where various anthropocentric activities contribute to the increase in fuel pollutants and the other in a protected wood area, 7 km from the same city, where only leisure activities and environmental education take place (Mata da Machada). Hydrocarbon’s biodegradability studies, colonies morphologically and biochemically characterization of the microorganisms were performed. The values of the bioremediation rate of hexane, toluene and gasoline showed higher bioremediation rates when using consortium cultures which highlight functional potential of the soil microbial community.

- Mini-Project of Ethanol Production from Waste as a Teaching MethodologyPublication . Dias, Nilmara; Carvalho, Teresa; Reis, Alexandre L. S.; Serralha, F. N.The development of sustainable alternative fuel, energy and chemical products is happening all over the world. Some of the main reasons for this increase are the increasing demand for fuel and energy due to population growth and economic development; climate change and the need for decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; enhancement of waste recovery efforts to redirect waste away from landfills and decrease the reliance on primary raw materials. Thus, it is important to make students aware of these aspects and explore the development of alternative fuels, while giving them the tools to be creative and autonomous. The aim of this paper is to show how the implementation of a mini-project can improve not only students’ knowledge about the production of a biofuel from waste, but also their development of the theoretical and basic skills needed to carry out the mini-project. This paper presents in addition to the methodology used, some results to the implementation of the mini project, specifically the students’ points of view.
- Large Scale H2 Production by Electrolysis Based on Renewable ElectricityPublication . Franco, Flávia; Borges, R. P.; Serralha, F. N.; Martins, Paulo; Aguiar, Ricardo; Cabrita, Isabel; Partidário, PauloIn the framework of preliminary assessments for a European Strategic Project of Common Interest, Portugal has been discussing the setup and operation of a large-scale facility, of ca. 1 GW, for H2 production from water electrolysis, at the Sines region. The operational requirements of such a facility were analysed. Electricity is expected to be mostly supplied by dedicated wind and solar PV farms, but using excess renewable electricity available from the grid at low price under future expected conditions is likely to be an option as well. Under these assumptions, the H2 facility and associated renewable power plants were modelled using the energyPLAN software. The behaviour of this model, and in particular the electricity exchanges of the H2 facility with the grid, was analysed for periods of one year with hourly resolution, under various climatic, energy demand, and plant sizing scenarios. It is estimated that an optimal operation of the H2 facility can be achieved with a 2:1 ratio between the capacity of dedicated renewable power farms and the capacity of the electrolysers. The operation must minimize coincidence of periods of excess electricity available from the grid with the output of the dedicated renewable power farms. The main conclusions are twofold: (i) methodologically, it is shown that energyPLAN provides a useful tool for modelling the operation of such large scale H2 production facilities; and (ii) operationally, when looking forward to achieving optimal plant design and operation conditions, its electricity supply should rely on an appropriate mix of renewable sources and include interactions with the grid
- Avaliação da utilização da metodologia PBL em Otimização de ProcessosPublication . Serralha, F. N.A metodologia de trabalho de projeto (PBL do inglês Project Based Learning) foi aplicada como metodologia de ensino/aprendizagem na Unidade Curricular de Otimização de Processos do Mestrado de Engenharia Química e Biológica da Escola Superior de Tecnologia do Barreiro do Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal, no ano letivo 2020/2021. Com o presente trabalho pretende-se apresentar como a metodologia foi implementada e o impacto que a mesma teve na aprendizagem dos estudantes. O objetivo da implementação é os estudantes ficarem capacitados para a resolução estruturada de problemas complexos. A avaliação dos estudantes foi feita tendo em conta o registo das observações por parte do docente ao longo do desenvolvimento do trabalho e a matriz de avaliação elaborada para o efeito. A perceção dos estudantes foi tida em conta para o estudo do impacto da metodologia de PBL na aprendizagem nos estudantes. Os resultados obtidos pelos estudantes foram excelentes, bem como a perceção deles sobre o impacto da metodologia de PBL nas suas aprendizagens e contributo para o resultado obtido na avaliação.
- The contribution of urban domestic waste management to the circular economy: the perspective of six european countriesPublication . Serralha, F. N.; Mesbahi, Zahra; Anderluh, Alexandra; Carriço, Nelson; Santos, Beatriz Sara; Nolz, Pamela; Radványi, Dalma; Coninck, Sarah de; Leščevica, Maira; Galatanu, Sergiu ValentinIn line with the European community's goal, each EU Member State should recycle at least 60% of municipal waste or prepare them for reuse. In this chapter, the authors intend to show the waste management strategies implemented in six European countries, namely, Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Latvia, Portugal, and Romania. The methodology used was to analyse reports and publications on the management of urban waste and dialogue with some technicians of the municipalities. This knowledge of what is done in each country allows others to learn from the best and most innovative solutions and reflect on the various waste management forms implemented, according to environmental, economic, and social perspectives. The analysis identifies several challenges to bring up in further research and projects, with the contribution of the different countries and the synergies that might be obtained. The authors intend to promote a decrease in consumption and an increase in reuse, separately collected waste and recycling, contributing to circular economic growth and the sustainability of the planet.
