The ways behind the railways: Algarve's railway line. Technique transfers and transport development in Southern Portugal

Esta disserta����o pretende contribuir para um melhor conhecimento da complexidade das redes de transfer��ncia de conhecimentos e t��cnicas, no dom��nio da engenharia civil e mais concretamente atrav��s dos caminhos-de-ferro, nos s��culos XIX e XX. Em Portugal, os caminhos-de-ferro estiveram no cerne de um vasto debate, sobretudo pol��tico, concomitante com uma instabilidade crescente no cen��rio pol��tico e uma fase de fragilidade econ��mica. �� neste contexto que a Linha do Sul e Sueste vai ser constru��da (seguida pela sua extens��o at�� Vila Real de Santo Ant��nio e pela constru����o do ramal de Portim��o, que chegar�� a Lagos). Este empreendimento �� uma clara ilustra����o da realidade portuguesa de ent��o, no que concerne ao desenvolvimento desta rede de transportes, que nos permite, igualmente, conhecer e compreender quem interveio no processo de constru����o da linha (os engenheiros, as empresas, entre outros aspectos) e assim determinar quais as influ��ncias e transfer��ncias t��cnicas que tiveram lugar; RESUMEE: Cette m��moire attire �� la contribution pour une meilleure connaissance de la complexit�� des r��seaux de transfert de techniques et connaissances qui ont eu lieu dans le domaine de l���ing��nierie civile, surtout dans les chemins de fer, au XIX��me et XX��me si��cles. Au Portugal, les chemins de fer sont ��t�� le cerne d���un tr��s vaste d��bat, co��ncidant avec une croissante instabilit�� dans le scenario politique et aussi une phase ��conomique fragile. C���est dans ce contexte que la Ligne du Sud et Sud-est va ��tre b��ti (suivi par l���extension jusqu����� Vila Real de Santo Ant��nio et la construction de l���embranchement ferroviaire Portim��o). Cette entreprise c���est une illustration claire de la r��alit�� portugaise, en concernant l���impl��mentation de cette r��seau de transport, que nous permettre de comprendre et ��galement bien connaitre qui a intervenu dans le processus de construction de la ligne (les ing��nieurs, entreprises, etcetera), ainsi que d��terminer les influences et les transferts techniques qui ont eu lieu; ABSTRACT: With this master���s thesis, the aim is to be able to contribute to a better understanding of the complex network of technique���s and knowledge transfers, that took place within the field of civil engineering, in the 19th and 20th centuries, namely on the railways. In Portugal, railways take-up was a wide and ample debate, coinciding with an uprising turmoil on the Portuguese political outskirt and a phase of economic frailty. It���s in this context that the construction of the South and Southeast Line took place (followed, later on, by its extension until Vila Real de Santo Ant��nio and by the construction of the Portim��o���s branch). This enterprise is, as we pretend to prove in this master���s thesis, a clear example of the Portuguese reality, enabling us to understand and to get to know those who intervened in the construction���s process (the engineers and the companies) as well as determining influences and technique transfers that have taken place.

Between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean : the late bronze age around the Tagus estuary (Portugal) : economic, social and cultural aspects

This paper deals with the importance, quantity and diversity of Late Bronze Age sites known around the Tagus estuary. The material culture points out to the existence of cultural stimuli from very different origins: from the Iberian Peninsula inner, the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean basin, related to the social organization and the economy of the populations that inhabited this region between the XIII century BC and the IX century BC, according to the available radiocarbon data. These populations interacted with the first Phoenicians that arrived to the region at the end of this period, after episodic relations of trading with their antecedents, from Central Mediterranean region.

Faunal remains from an Almohad (Ad XII/XIII) silo at the Castle of Aljezur (Portugal)

The analysis of a faunal collection from a storage silo found in the castle of Aljezur, dating from the Almohad period (XII/XIIIth centuries AD), is presented. It appears that the community occupying the castle concentrated on hunting species such as the rabbit, wild boar, red deer and Iberian lynx, while evidences of stockbreeding were scarce and centered upon caprines with horses and chicken playing minor role. The presence of a large dog has been assumed to be an aid for hunting but possibly also in herd keeping. With the exception of the lynx, all large mammals evidenced traces of consumption. The domestic cat is taken to represent a pet whereas the lynx had probably a role as a fur provider. It should be noted that equids and the pond turtle were probably food items. Rodents are taken to represent commensals whereas the toad of the Genus Bufo probably represented an intrusive element.

The transition to agriculture in south-wertern Europe : new isotopic insights from Portugal's Atlantic coast

For the past 15 years, a succession of stable isotope studies have documented the abrupt dietary transition from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic in Western and Northern Europe. Portugal, with its Late Mesolithic shell middens and burials apparently coexisting with the earliest Neolithic, further illustrates the nature of that transition. Individuals from Neolithic contexts there had significantly different diets to their Mesolithic counterparts. No evidence was found for a transitional phase between the marine oriented Mesolithic subsistence regimes and the domesticated, terrestrial Neolithic diet. Two later Neolithic individuals, however, showed evidence for partial reliance on marine or aquatic foods. This raises questions about the possible persistence of marine dietary regimes beyond the Mesolithic period. This article is followed by a brief note by Mary Jackes and David Lubell.

O servi��o de refer��ncia nas bibliotecas p��blicas em Portugal: modelo de desenvolvimento

O Servi��o de Refer��ncia (SR), incorporando na sua organiza����o, funcionamento e comunica����o com o utilizador um conjunto de potencialidades proporcionadas pela tecnologia, assume um papel fundamental na luta contra a desigualdade e o analfabetismo digital, no fomento da literacia da informa����o e na cria����o de conhecimento. A percep����o do valor e das fragilidades do SR nas bibliotecas p��blicas em Portugal levanta a quest��o sobre como contribuir para o seu desenvolvimento. A presente investiga����o, visando a constru����o de alicerces numa perspectiva de evolu����o, parte da an��lise de documentos orientadores internacionais da RUSA/ALA (Reference and User Services Association / American Library Association) e da IFLA (International Federation of Library Association) e da observa����o de caracter��sticas estruturais da Rede Nacional de Biblioteca P��blicas (RNBP), para a concep����o de solu����es de desenvolvimento do SR a aplicar a esta realidade concreta. Seguindo um paradigma compreensivo indutivo, com uma orienta����o baseada na Grounded Theory, esta pesquisa privilegia o contexto da descoberta e a constru����o de uma teoria. No plano emp��rico cumpre uma complementaridade de t��cnicas qualitativas e quantitativas, com recurso a uma triangula����o metodol��gica. O campo de an��lise abrange a totalidade das bibliotecas p��blicas portuguesas integradas na RNBP em Portugal. Visando aspectos funcionais e materiais, s��o analisados dados preexistentes e aplicadas t��cnicas de observa����o directa e inqu��rito por question��rio. Visando aspectos sociais, s��o efectuadas seis entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Os resultados apontam para uma situa����o de estagna����o das bibliotecas da RNBP e para um funcionamento n��o estruturado e informal do SR, na maioria dos casos em que se verifica a sua disponibiliza����o. Fundamentada a necessidade de evolu����o, e do investimento que nele possa ser feito, �� constru��do um modelo, seguindo uma estrat��gia por n��veis, flex��veis e adapt��veis ��s necessidades e aos recursos de cada biblioteca, que visa o desenvolvimento incremental e congruente daquele servi��o; Abstract: The Reference Service in public libraries in Portugal. Development model from international guidelines. Incorporating in its organization, procedures and communication with the users a set of tools brought by technology, Reference Service (RS) plays a key role in the struggle against inequality and digital illiteracy, promoting information literacy and creating knowledge. The perception of the value of RS and the weaknesses in public libraries in Portugal raise the question on how to contribute to its development. In order to build RS foundations on an evolutionary perspective, this research analyzes RUSA / ALA (Reference and User Services Association / American Library Association) and IFLA (International Federation of Library Association) international guidelines and the structural characteristics of the Portuguese National Public Library Network (RNBP), with the objective of creating a solution for the development of that service to be applied to this reality. Following an inductive comprehensive paradigm, with an orientation based on Grounded Theory, this research focuses on the context of discovery and the construction of a theory. Empirically it fulfils complementary qualitative and quantitative techniques, using a methodological triangulation. The field of analysis covers Portuguese public libraries integrating the RNBP. Aiming at functional and material aspects, direct observation techniques and a survey by questionnaire are applied. Targeting social aspects, six semistructured interviews are carried out. The results point to a situation of stagnation in the RNBP as well as the unstructured and informal performance of the SR, which justifies the need for evolution and investment. A model is constructed, following a strategy based on levels, flexible and adaptable to the needs and resources of each library, with the perspective of an incremental and consistent development of this service.
