Portugal em poema pela pena de Lord George Nugent Grenville. A��hist��ria da hist��ria colhida no campo de batalha

A efem��ride suscita a curiosidade de p��blicos muito diferenciados o que �� sempre estimulante. A��produ����o escrita d�� conta de um assinal��vel recrudescimento em volta do tema, como algumas das imagens agora recuperadas para a nossa comunica����o ilustram . Contudo, alguns anos antes, o CETAPS, Centre for English, Translation and Anglo���Portuguese Studies, �� ��poca, CEAP, Centro de Estudos Anglo���Portugueses, fora pioneiro na divulga����o de temas e obras relacionando o que a Hist��ria e a Literatura haviam dado a conhecer, no respeitante aos Estudos Anglo���Portugueses e �� tem��tica em ep��grafe. Saliente���se, em especial, o mestrado desenvolvido em torno das campanhas napole��nicas visando colmatar lacunas sobre o conhecimento relativo �� presen��a brit��nica no nosso pa��s e �� imagem que os relatos dos militares nelas envolvidas haviam dado conta. V��rios foram os documentos cient��ficos produzidos (nomeadamente teses e comunica����es), alguns dos quais foram depois editados. A��obra assinada por Gabriela G��ndara Terenas, O��Portugal da Guerra Peninsular ��� A��Vis��o dos Militares Brit��nicos (1808���1812), dada ao prelo em Junho de 2000, em muito veio suprir essa lacuna, pois a um s�� tempo se prop��s conciliar tem��ticas complementares, reunindo os aspectos que a literatura de viagem e os testemunhos de guerra oferecem.

De P�� Sobre a Terra. Estudos Sobre a Ind��stria, o Trabalho e o Movimento Oper��rio em Portugal

Ver de outra maneira. Ao longo de 2011, a s��rie de semin��rios ��reas industriais e comunidades oper��rias tentou concitar o encontro entre os investigadores que t��m, em Portugal, trabalhado sobre o universo oper��rio, criando um lugar tempor��rio de apresenta����o e confronta����o da multiplicidade das pesquisas por eles concretizadas. A principal preocupa����o era evitar que uma s�� concep����o se transpusesse, convicta ou clandestinamente, para a convocat��ria, criando com essa op����o as circunst��ncias da sua pr��pria valida����o. Foi intencionalmente que preconizamos crit��rios largos e polivalentes. Mais do que pronunciar teses ou s��nteses, quisemos oferecer uma apresenta����o panor��mica do espa��o de questionamento criado pelas ci��ncias sociais em Portugal sobre o universo oper��rio, uma vis��o estereosc��pica em torno a um conjunto de interroga����es e interpreta����es sobre um tema de pesquisa.

Princ��pios orientadores da forma����o, ao n��vel do 1�� ciclo: a coopera����o Portugal/P.A.L.O.P.'s

Os Pa��ses Africanos de L��ngua Oficial Portuguesa (P.A.L.O.P.'s), tal como a grande maioria de todo o continente africano, apresentam graves defici��ncias quanto a alfabetiza����o das suas popula����es, tomando-se, assim, o ensino prim��rio uma prioridade absoluta. De entre todas as limita����es que existem ao n��vel dos respectivos sistemas educativos, talvez, a mais grave seja a fraca prepara����o cient��fica e pedag��gica que a maioria dos professores apresenta, para al��m, evidentemente, do seu reduzido n��mero. Assim, a forma����o de professores tornou-se numa das apostas mais fortes dos P.A.L.O.P.'s, no campo da educa����o. Portugal, na ��rea da coopera����o com estes pa��ses, participa num Projecto de Consolida����o dos Sistemas Educativos, no ��mbito do qual desenvolve um programa de Ac����es de Forma����o de Formadores.

Pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) and great tit (Parus major) in Portugal

In the present work, we studied a common outbreaking Lepidoptera species in Portuguese pine stands ��� Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Den. & Schiff.) - and one of its potential predators ��� Parus major (L.). The population dynamics of the immature stages of the Lepidoptera was studied in several types of Pinus pinaster (Aiton) plantations in three different areas: Set��bal Peninsula, Abrantes and National Pine Forest of Leiria. Location and plantation structure was the most important factors determining population density of T. pityocampa. Setubal and Abrantes was highly susceptible to attacks by the Lepidoptera, whereas Leiria had lower densities. Young and homogeneous pine stands was more susceptible to attacks than older and more heterogeneous pines stands. However, a desynchronized population of T. pityocampa, in which the larvae develops during summer instead of during winter, reached high densities also in Leiria. The impact of several mortality factors and climatic conditions on the immature stages of the insect (eggs and larvae), in normal and desynchronized populations are discussed, as well as possible evolutionary implications of the sudden appearance of the new version of T. pityocampa. The break of the pupa diapause and adult emergence times the annual life cycle of this insect. Adults from the desynchronized population emerged earlier than adults from the normal population, which in turn determined the change in the larvae development period. Different factors, potentially affecting the timing of adult emergence in both normal and abnormal populations are also discussed. To study P. Major, nest-boxes were placed in the areas of Set��bal and Leiria and they were monitored during three seasons. The nest-boxes increased the density of breeding and wintering birds in the studied pine plantations, indicating that a lack of natural holes are in fact a limiting factor for this populations. The earliest breeding start for this species was recorded in my study area, indicating that Portuguese coastal pines provide good breeding conditions earlier than in other areas of Europe and North Africa. This leads to an overlap between the end of the larvae stage of T. pityocampa and the beginning of the breeding season of P. major. Key-words: Thaumetopoea pityocampa, Parus major, Pinus pinaster, population dynamics, Portugal.

Les Hipparion du Portugal

This paper is concerned with Hipparion from Ribatejo, Portugal, and with the stratigraphy of the Neogene series of this region. The first two chapters are an introduction and an historical review. Paleontological study includes both a revision of the specimens accounted by ROMAN (1907) and the description of new material. Two forms were recognized, an early H. cf. primigenium, lower Vallesian in age, NM 9 mammal unit (from Archino, Vila Nova da Rainha, Aveiras de Cima), and a more advanced H. primigenium cf. melendezi. Upper Vallesian, NM 10 (possibly lowermost Turolian, NM 11) (at Azambujeira and Marmeleira). A synthesis of Middle and Upper Miocene from Ribatejo is also presented. Levels with H. p. cf. melendezi are somewhat older than ��Upper Pontian��, as it was previously acknowledged, they attain at the best the lowermost Turolian (approximately corresponding to ��Upper Pontian��). Even higher levels may be Turolian in age, though they are not yet accurately dated. Almost all the localities are shown (tableau 11) according to its stratigraphical position; age, correspondance to mammal units from NM 5 to NM 10 (and may be also from NM 11 to NM 12), and correlation with marine formations near Lisbon are also taken in account. The stratigraphical position of localities such as P��voa de Santar��m, Quinta do Marmelal, Pero Filho, Azambujeira (lower levels), and Fonte do Pinheiro was revised; the stratigraphical position of Marmeleira was ascertained. The localities so far known correspond to NM 5 (?), NM 6, NM 8, NM 9, NM 10 and possibly to NM II and NM 12. A new interpretation (M. T. ANTUNES) of localities with oysters from Ribatejo allows a better correlation with vertebrate localities. Relationships with Serravallian transgression seem well established. Only two localities, Vila Nova da Rainha and Foz do Alviela, may possibly be correlated to V-b division of Lisbon (Langhian) with ��Hispanotherium fauna��. All the other localities are younger than Serravallian oyster beds. Undirect correlation shows that NM 6 localities are somewhat younger than the apogee ef Serravallian transgression (corresponding approximately to Blow's N 11 to N 13 zones based on planctonic foraminifera).

Premiers resultants d���une prospection pal��ontologique dans le Trias de l���Algarve (Portugal)

A three-week paleontological prospection in Triassic beds of the Algarve (southern province of Portugal) has revealed the presence of fossil vertebrates (stegocephalians for the most part, but also fishes and reptiles) in several localities and in at least 5 stratigraphical levels.

Ensaio de s��ntese cr��tica acerca do Cret��cico terminal e do Paleog��nico de Portugal

A synthetic essay about portuguese Late Cretaceous (Upper Campanian-Maastrichtian) and Paleogene is presented. This does include most of the so far known data, a critical approach to the problems of such formations, and to previous works on them. Our viewpoints (party original) are exposed in a shorter text in French where most of the discussion was suppressed (see reference in Resumo).

Madeira recuper��vel em Portugal

A madeira �� um importante recurso renov��vel e com uma enorme variedade de aplica����es que v��o desde a embalagem, �� constru����o, ao mobili��rio, entre outras aplica����es diversas. Os produtos em madeira, ap��s o seu primeiro ciclo de vida, continuam a ter valor e poder��o ter fins diversos, tais como a reutiliza����o, a reciclagem ou a produ����o de energia. A escolha do destino a dar a esta madeira recuper��vel dever�� basear-se na qualidade do material em causa, existindo formas de classifica����o segundo o grau de contamina����o do material. Tendo em considera����o que a produ����o de madeira recuper��vel ocorre nas mais diversas actividades humanas, desde as individuais, e de forma bastante dispersa, ��quelas desenvolvidas pela ind��stria, torna-se extremamente dif��cil conhecer as quantidades totais dispon��veis deste material, e assim, definir modelos de gest��o eficazes para este material. O objectivo deste trabalho �� tentar compilar a informa����o existente no que concerne �� disponibilidade de madeira recuper��vel em Portugal, acabando por se particularizar no fluxo de embalagens de madeira, aplicando uma metodologia de c��lculo para este material. Os resultados obtidos ter��o uma margem de erro associada �� utiliza����o de alguns pressupostos, de estudos anteriores, e no futuro dever�� ser verificada a sua concord��ncia com a realidade da gest��o destes res��duos em Portugal.

Faunule ichthyologique du Lias inf��rieur de S. Pedro de Muel, Portugal

The material collected in the Lower Liassic beds of S. Pedro de Muel (Portugal) contains some remains of actinopterygian fishes. The most significant elements have been described, and two genera have been recognized. One of them, Furo, is a halecomorph of the Caturidae family, the other one, Proleptolepis, is a teleostean genus belonging to the family Leptolepidae s. str. It is the first record of these two genera in Portugal. This discovery gives new data on the geographical distribution of Furo and Proleptolepis. In the present state of our knowledge, this last genus seems to be restricted to the Sinemurian - Lotharingian.
