- Bell beaker footed bowls in the Iberian Peninsula: A trial inventory apropos a find from the Lapa do Fumo Cave (Sesimbra, Portugal)Publication . Cardoso, João Luis; Andrade, Marco António; Gil, RuiThe Lapa do Fumo cave (Sesimbra, Estremadura, Portugal) features a funerary context that has been extensively used since the Early Neolithic. A recent review of the votive assemblages revealed the presence of a vessel sherd belonging to a Bell Beaker footed bowl, featuring part of the base and the start of the foot, with incised decoration on the outer surface. This type of vessel, although quite rare, is known from various Bell Beaker complexes of the Iberian Peninsula throughout the entire time span of the Beaker phenomenon, mostly corresponding to the second half of the 3rd millennium BCE. Its geographical distribution in Iberia is equally widespread, occurring both in funerary and residential contexts. Starting from the Lapa do Fumo sherd presented herein, the authors will present an inventory of all known examples, integrating them into their respective chronological and cultural contexts. A technical and functional discussion is also included, based on an estimate of these items’ capacities.
- A bibliometric analysis on designing urban green and blue spaces related to environmental and public health benefitsPublication . de Sousa Silva, Catarina; Bell, Simon; Lackóová, Lenka; Panagopoulos, ThomasAbstract: Humans and nature have always been connected. Meanwhile, with the industrial revolution, landscapes have become more artificial, reducing the human–nature relationship. Urban design should follow biophilic principles to reconnect people with nature, mitigate climate change, improve air quality, restore biodiversity loss, and solve social problems. Poor air quality affects people’s health, and vegetation plays a crucial role in purifying the air. Similarly, contact with nature benefits physical and mental health and well-being. However, there is no consensus on how urban design can be beneficial for improving air quality and human health. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of evidence linking nature-based solutions (NBSs), air quality, carbon neutrality, and human health and well-being. Five hundred articles published between 2000 and 2024 were analysed. A number of publications studied the benefits of green infrastructure in improving air quality, carbon sequestration, or the influence of green spaces on human health. The topic of NBSs has recently emerged related to air quality, health, and promoting physical activity, as has accessibility to green spaces and mental health, also associated with blue spaces and residential gardens. The results revealed the gaps in the literature on how to design green and blue spaces to tackle environmental and public health crises simultaneously.

- Documentos das provas de agregação de Hugo Emanuel dos Reis Sales da Cruz Pinto. Titulo da Lição: Resiliência da inovação: uma abordagem multinívelPublication . Pinto, HugoRelatório submetido para obtenção do título de Agregado em Ciências Económicas e Empresariais - especialidade em Economia pela Faculdade de Economia da Universidade do Algarve, em conformidade com os Decreto-Lei n.º 64/2023, de 31 de julho, Decreto-Lei n.º 239/2007, de 19 de junho, e nos termos da alínea c), iii), do art.º 4.º do Regulamento n.º 502/2024 da Universidade do Algarve. Esta lição consolida mais de uma década de investigação sobre a dinâmica da inovação em sistemas adaptativos complexos, introduzindo o conceito de "resiliência da inovação". Este conceito analisa como os sistemas de inovação se adaptam a impactos socioeconómicos, mudanças institucionais e colapsos industriais. A abordagem proposta conecta níveis macro (variedades de capitalismo), meso (redes regionais) e micro (atores de inovação), integrando métodos quantitativos (econometria e análise de redes) e qualitativos (entrevistas). A lição reflete sobre a importância da inovação no desenvolvimento regional, a concentração de atividades económicas, a capacidade de adaptação dos territórios a choques externos e falhas sistémicas.
- Empowering maritime spatial planning and marine conservation efforts through digital engagement: the role of online platformsPublication . Gutierrez, Débora; Calado, Helena; Toor, Femke van; Moreira, Mariana; Paramio, Maria Luz; Martins, Francisco; Santos, Natali; Melo, Neuza; Newton, AliceThis study addresses the performance of digital platforms in enhancing ocean governance by improving communication and collaboration among stakeholders. It analyses several platforms based on their collaborative initiatives, digital tools, and ability to function as networks of knowledge. The findings show that these platforms bridge gaps between regional, national, and non-governmental organisations, promoting informed decision making. Their online presence enhances transparency and engagement, especially postCOVID-19. This study highlights the need for hybrid platforms combining informative and interactive elements to better serve both experts and the public. From this analysis, some recommendations are drawn to provide rules and design for the cooperation and co-design of a platform to foster better communication, collaboration, and sustainable ocean management practices.
- Minute city concept for healthy tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. who for? The city of Lagos, PortugalPublication . Pires Rosa, Manuela; Lopes, Ana; Aghaeizadeh, Esmaeil; Gomes, André; Andraz, JorgeUrban spatial organization provided an important contribution for healthy tourism in the first COVID-19 pandemic period. The 15-Minute City concept promotes walking which is essential for the development of outdoor activities for a healthier tourism. The tourist city of Lagos (Portugal) is a pilot city of the Interreg Med SuSTowns Project which aims to promote sustainable and resilient territories. This study presents an analysis of the pedestrian accessibility through a specific geographical indicator: the percentage of short-term rentals existing in the surrounding tourist attractions. Ideal standard distances, studied internationally, were considered to assess this close proximity. Different walking speeds were considered to address human diversity and their implications on the 15-Minute City concept. The functionalities of the geographic information systems, in particular the assessment of distances over the pedestrian network were used. The results indicate that in the city of Lagos there is a trend towards an effective 15-Minute City for healthy tourists, promoting walking which could enhance tourism attraction. For tourists with reduced mobility, the use of accessible public transportation is required and needs to be integrated in the 15-Minute City concept.
- Optimization of stroke management workflow in the emergency department of Maputo central hospital: implementation proposalPublication . Buque, H.; Bauaze, E. Namburete; Lorenzo, E.; Nzwalo, HipólitoStroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Mozambique, with a high incidence among young adults. Maputo Central Hospital (HCM) receives a substantial number of stroke patients daily, but lacks a dedicated Stoke Unit, facing challenges that delay timely and effective care.
- Tracking tourism waves: insights from automatic identification system (AIS) data on maritime–coastal activitiesPublication . Ramos, Jorge; Drakeford, Benjamin; Costa, Joana; Madiedo Camelo, Ana Maria; Leitão, FranciscoAbstract: The demand for maritime–coastal tourism has been intensifying, but its offerings are sometimes limited to a few activities. Some of these activities do not require specific skills or certifications, while others do. This study aimed to investigate what type of activities are carried out by tourism and recreational vessels in the coastal area of the central Algarve (Portugal). To this end, data from the automatic identification system (AIS) of recreational vessels was used to monitor and categorise these activities in a non-intrusive manner. A model (TORMA) was defined to facilitate the analysis of AIS data and relate them to five independent variables (distance from the coast, boat speed, bathymetry, seabed type, and number of pings). The results of the analysis of more than 11 thousand hourly AIS records for passenger, sailing, and charter vessels showed that the 14 most regular ones had strong seasonal patterns, greater intensity in summer, and spatial patterns with more records near some coastal cliffs. This study provides valuable information on the management of motorised nautical activities near the coast and at sea, contributing to more informed and effective tourism regulation and planning.
