In the 21st century the majority of people live in urban settings and studies show a trend to the increase of this phenomenon. Globalisation and the concentration of multinational and clusters of firms in certain places are attracting people who seek employment and a better living. Many of those agglomerations are situated in developing countries, representing serious challenges both for public and private sectors. Programmes and initiatives in different countries are taking place and best practices are being exchanged globally. The objective is to transform these urban places into sustainable learning cities/regions where citizens can live with quality. The complexity of urban places, sometimes megacities, opened a new field of research. This paper argues that in order to understand the dynamics of such a complex phenomenon, a multidisciplinary, systemic approach is needed and the creation of learning cities and regions calls for the contribution of a multitude of fields of knowledge, ranging from economy to urbanism, educational science, sociology, environmental psychology and others.

Este trabalho centra-se no estudo do aproveitamento expectável do maciço rochoso da pedreira da Curviã N.o 2 (Joane, Vila Nova de Famalicão, no N Portugal), através da obtenção de um bloco unitário tipo que forneça indicações para a exploração do recurso geológico para fins industriais e/ou ornamentais. Desta forma, investiga-se se num dado limite de zona geotécnica do maciço rochoso e propicio a obtenção de blocos com dimensão, avaliados apos o processo de transformação, nomeadamente, para enrocamento em obras marítimas ou balastro em obras ferroviárias. Foram seleccionados diversos afloramentos, tendo-se recorrido a técnica de amostragem linear as superfícies expostas do maciço. Esta técnica e uma das formas mais expeditas de coligir dados geológico-geotécnicos relativos as descontinuidades. Procedeu-se, ainda, a um tratamento estatístico das descontinuidades, bem como dos parâmetros geológico-geotécnicos e geomecânicos a estas associadas, propostos pela Sociedade Internacional de Mecânica das Rochas (ISRM). Todos os dados foram representados cartograficamente numa base apoiada pelos Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG) e utilizadas as ferramentas de geologia estrutural, analise morfotectónica, modelação digital de terreno e cartografia de zonamento geotécnico. O zonamento geotécnico do maciço granítico foi realizado sempre em estreita ligação com o conhecimento das características do maciço ”in situ”. Pretende-se que esta metodologia contribua para um melhor conhecimento da compartimentação dos maciços rochosos em geral e, em particular, do modelo geotécnico comportamental do maciço rochoso da Curviã N.o2.

RESUMO: Desde 1640 até data extrema de 1834, os Irmãos Hospitaleiros de S. João de Deus foram os responsáveis, directa e indirectamente, pela administração e corpo de enfermagem dos Reais Hospitais Militares em Portugal, actividades que analisamos ao longo dos séculos, desenvolvendo pressupostos temáticos relativamente a sua actuação no tempo e no espaço. É durante o séc. XVII até ao séc. XIX, que vemos os cuidados da corte para com a assistência aos soldados enfermos e doentes, ao publicar inúmera legislação relativamente à complexidade assistencial na área militar, a qual foi por nós compilada para melhor contextualização da importância dos Hospitais Militares em Portugal. Os Regimentos, os Alvarás, os Regulamentos e as Ordens do Dia, constituem um objecto fundamental de pesquisa e análise para caracterizar o quotidiano nesses mesmos locais. Os Hospitais Militares desde a sua fundação, dos primórdios das Guerras da Aclamação em 1640, até ao advento do liberalismo em 1834, eram centros de conhecimento técnico e científico com um corpo assistencial especializado, onde um conjunto pluridisciplinar de profissionais zelava qualitativamente pelos assistidos, e onde os Irmãos Hospitaleiros de S. João de Deus desempenhavam funções de administradores, enfermeiros e capelães. Nesse sentido elaboramos uma listagem cronológica para inter relacionar os Irmãos Hospitaleiros e os Hospitais Militares, pois é impossível separar a Ordem de S. João de Deus da componente assistencial aos enfermos e doentes militares em Portugal. A importância urbana e arquitectónica, que os Reais Hospitais Militares tiveram no contexto orgânico e defensivo nas Praças de Guerra, é realçado pela forma como estes se encontravam implantados e construídos, demarcando-se esteticamente da globalidade edificada, pois constituíam parte integrante dos equipamentos militares, como era teorizado pelos técnicos militares. Assim analisamos a localização dos imóveis, para além do próprio edifício hospitalar, com o meio, ou seja com a urbanidade das Praças de guerra. A sobriedade arquitectónica dos Hospitais Militares, integrada nos grandes ciclos das correntes culturais europeia e nacional, associada à riqueza decorativa e iconoclasta desenvolvida nesses locais, dá-nos uma dimensão da importância científica que esses núcleos assistenciais tiveram, contribuindo para a difusão do culto e circulação da imaginária de S. João de Deus em Portugal e dos Santos venerados nos Hospitais Militares. Desta forma compreendemos o alicerçar devocional que o reino tinha por este Santo, como o fundador do conceito assistencial do hospital moderno. Estando intrinsecamente ligado a este facto vemos o proliferar do culto e da imaginária de S. João de Deus em Portugal, centrando-se a iconografia artística do Santo em torno das localidades onde se enraizaram os Hospitais Militares. Hoje, nos imóveis hospitalares, não é difícil analisar uma lenta evolução da funcionalidade dos seus espaços, gravitando o desenvolvimento estrutural assistencial em torno das enfermarias e salas de cirurgia, mantendo-se perene este arquétipo arquitectónico desde o séc. XVII até meados do séc. XIX, as quais foram levantadas, comparadas e analisadas. Foi com a exclaustração das Ordens Religiosas, pelo Decreto de 29 de Maio de 1834, que acabou a extraordinária e valorosa acção administrativa, tutelar e corpo de enfermagem dos Irmãos Hospitaleiros de S. João de Deus, na área específica da assistência militar em Portugal, extinguindo-se, nalguns casos, os Hospitais Militares, pois o reino não estava preparado para substituir esses profissionais de saúde. O nosso estudo desenvolve-se por cerca de 295 anos, espaço temporal em que os Hospitais Militares foram administrados e fundados pelos Irmãos de S. João de Deus em Portugal.---------ABSTRACT: Since 1640 until 1834 the Hospitaller Brothers of S. John of God were the responsibles, direct and indirectly, for the administration and nursing body of the Royal Military Hospitals in Portugal, activities that we analyse throughout the centuries, developing thematic presuppositions regarding its performance in time and in space. It is during the 17th century until the 19th century, that we see the court’s care with the assistance of the wounded and sick by the publishing of much legislation regarding the assistance complexity in the military area, which was compiled by us in order to achieve a better comprehension of the importance of the Military Hospitals in Portugal. The Regiments, Charters, Regulations and Orders of Day constitute a fundamental object of research and analysis to characterise the quotidian of these locations. The Military Hospitals, since its foundation, in the beginning of the Wars of Acclamation in 1640, until the advent of liberalism in 1834, were centres of technical and scientific knowledge with a specialized assistance body, were a multidisciplinary set of professionals took qualitatively care of the attended, and where the Hospitaller Brothers of S. John of God performed the tasks of administrators, nurses and chaplains. In this perspective, we created a chronological listing in order to relate the Hospitaller Brothers with the Military Hospitals, since it is impossible to separate the Hospitaller Order of S. John of God from the component of assistance to the military sick and wounded in Portugal. The urban and architectural importance that the Royal Military Hospitals had in the organic and defensive context of the War Fortifications is emphasized by the way these were implanted and built and by its architectural demarcation of the edified whole, since they constituted an integrant part of the military equipments, as it was theorized for the military architecture. Therefore we analyse the location of the real estate, analysing not only the hospital building itself, but also its relation with the environment, i. e. with the urbanism of the war fortifications. The architectural sobriety of Military Hospitals, integrated in the big cycles of cultural streams in Europe and Portugal, associated to the decorative and iconoclastic wealth developed in these locations, give us a dimension of the scientific importance that these hospitals had, contributing to the diffusion of the cult and circulation of sculptures and paintings of S. John of God in Portugal and of the Saints revered in the Hospitals. In this way, we understand the consolidation of the devotion that the kingdom had for this Saint, the founder of the assistance concept of the modern hospital. The proliferation of the cult and iconography of S. John of God is intrinsically connected to this fact, the artistic iconography concentrating itself around the localities were the Military Hospitals were built. Today, in the assistance buildings, it is not difficult to analyse a slow evolution of the functionality of its spaces, gravitating the structural assistance development around the infirmaries and surgery rooms, this architectural archetype being perennial from the 17th century until the middle of the 19th century. These infirmaries were pointed out, compared and analysed. It was the expulsion of the Religious Orders, by the Decree of May 29th 1834, that ended with the extraordinary and valorous administrative and tutelary action and nursing body of the Hospitaller Brothers of S. John of God, in the specific area of military assistance in Portugal, extinguishing, in some cases, the Military Hospitals, since the kingdom wasn’t prepared to substitute these health professionals. Our study is developed in a timeframe of 295 years, period in which the Military Hospitals were administrated and founded by the Brothers of S. John of God in Portugal.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo destacar a importância da utilização de software de geoengenharia no estudo das classificações de maciços rochosos nas engenharias de minas e geotécnica. Esta investigação pretendeu demonstrar a importância das classificações geomecânicas e índices geológico‐geomecânicos, tais como a Rock Mass Rating (RMR), Rock Tunnelling Quality Index (Q‐system), Surface Rock Classification (SRC), Rock Quality Designation (RQD), Geological Strength Index (GSI) and Hydro‐Potential Value (HP). Para esse efeito foi criada e desenvolvida uma calculadora geomecânica – MGC‐RocDesign|CALC: ‘Mining Geomechanics Classification systems for rock engineering design (version beta)’ – para de certa forma tornar mais simples, rápido e preciso o estudo das classificações geomecânicas sem que seja necessário recorrer manualmente às fastidiosas tabelas das classificações. A MGC‐RocDesign|CALC foi criada e desenvolvida no programa de folha de cálculo Microsoft Excel™ em linguagem Visual Basic for Applications© proporcionando o ambiente de carregamento de dados mais apelativos para o utilizador. Foi ainda integrada neste aplicativo a Calculadora Geotech|CalcTools que resulta da fusão das bases de dados ScanGeoData|BGD e SchmidtData|UCS criadas por Fonseca et al. (2010). Toda a informação foi integrada numa base de dados dinâmica associada a uma plataforma cartográfica em Sistemas de Informação Geográfica. Apresenta‐se como caso de estudo um dos trechos subterrâneos do maciço rochoso da antiga mina de volfrâmio das Aveleiras/Tibães (Mosteiro de Tibães, Braga, NW de Portugal). Além disso, apresenta‐se uma proposta de zonamento geomecânico do maciço rochoso da antiga mina das Aveleiras/Tibães com o objetivo de apoiar o dimensionamento de maciços rochosos. Por fim, apresenta‐se uma reflexão em termos de aplicabilidade, das potencialidades e das limitações da Calculadora Geomecânica MGC‐RocDesign|CALC.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo sublinhar a importância de um estudo geológico‐geotécnico para apoiar a cartografia geotécnica do maciço rochoso subterrâneo da antiga mina de volfrâmio das Aveleiras (Mosteiro de Tibães, Braga). Foi realizado um trabalho de campo sistemático, ao longo de uma rede de galerias subterrâneas com uma extensão aproximada de 155 m. Estas galerias são constituídas, principalmente, por rochas metassedimentares, embora aflorem rochas graníticas num pequeno trecho de uma das galerias. A técnica de amostragem linear de descontinuidades aplicada ao grau de compartimentação do maciço rochoso esteve na base de todos os dados geológicos, geotécnicos e geomecânicos. Além disso, foram coligidos e integrados os dados de campanhas de campo anteriores, realizadas entre 2006 e 2011. Foram igualmente descritos os métodos de avaliação dos dados de campo, bem como a análise estatística dos parâmetros geológico‐geotécnicos. O zonamento geotécnico do maciço rochoso das Aveleiras foi desenvolvido tendo em conta o comportamento do maciço rochoso in situ, e foi apoiado por ensaios laboratoriais de resistência do material‐rocha através do Ensaio de Carga Pontual. Apresenta‐se uma proposta preliminar de zonamento geomecânico com o objectivo de apoiar o projeto de engenharia de maciços rochosos.

Este estudo pretende discutir a validade da aplicação da mais recente versão do “GSI – Geological Strength Index” (Hoek et al., 2013) em maciços rochosos heterogéneos por aplicação num projecto de obra subterrânea em execução. O estudo envolveu a caracterização geológicageotécnica nas duas frentes de escavação da frente “Poente” da empreitada de construção do Túnel do Marão (N de Portugal) tendo sido cartografados 305 metros no conjunto das duas frentes em 74 avanços consecutivos. Para esta caracterização foram coligidos e uniformizados dados geológicos, geotécnicos e geomecânicos relativos aos levantamentos realizados a cada avanço. A técnica da amostragem linear foi aplicada para a cartografia das descontinuidades que permitiu estabelecer o grau de compartimentação do maciço rochoso. Além disso, procedeu‐se a um tratamento estatístico das descontinuidades, bem como dos parâmetros geológico‐geotécnicos e geomecânicos associados. Os zonamentos geotécnicos e geomecânicos das secções em análise foram realizados sempre em estreita ligação com o conhecimento das características do maciço in situ. Procurou‐se estabelecer termos de comparação entre a versão do GSI|2013 e as versões anteriores (GSI|98, GSI|2001) por aplicação para os avanços cartografados. Pretende‐se que este trabalho contribua para um maior conhecimento da mais recente versão do “Geological Strength Index” (2013) para a sua aplicabilidade em projectos de geoengenharia.

The present work aims to achieve and further develop a hydrogeomechanical approach in Caldas da Cavaca hydromineral system rock mass (Aguiar da Beira, NW Portugal), and contribute to a better understanding of the hydrogeological conceptual site model. A collection of several data, namely geology, hydrogeology, rock and soil geotechnics, borehole hydraulics and hydrogeomechanics, was retrieved from three rock slopes (Lagoa, Amores and Cancela). To accomplish a comprehensive analysis and rock engineering conceptualisation of the site, a multi‐technical approach were used, such as, field and laboratory techniques, hydrogeotechnical mapping, hydrogeomechanical zoning and hydrogeomechanical scheme classifications and indexes. In addition, a hydrogeomechanical data analysis and assessment, such as Hydro‐Potential (HP)‐Value technique, JW Joint Water Reduction index, Hydraulic Classification (HC) System were applied on rock slopes. The hydrogeomechanical zone HGMZ 1 of Lagoa slope achieved higher hydraulic conductivities with poorer rock mass quality results, followed by the hydrogeomechanical zone HGMZ 2 of Lagoa slope, with poor to fair rock mass quality and lower hydraulic parameters. In addition, Amores slope had a fair to good rock mass quality and the lowest hydraulic conductivity. The hydrogeomechanical zone HGMZ 3 of Lagoa slope, and the hydrogeomechanical zones HGMZ 1 and HGMZ 2 of Cancela slope had a fair to poor rock mass quality but were completely dry. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping technologies was used in overall hydrogeological and hydrogeomechanical data integration in order to improve the hydrogeological conceptual site model.

Hard‐rock watersheds commonly exhibit complex geological bedrock and morphological features. Hydromineral resources have relevant economic value for the thermal spas industry. The present study aims to develop a groundwater vulnerability approach in Caldas da Cavaca hydromineral system (Aguiar da Beira, Central Portugal) which has a thermal tradition that dates back to the late 19th century, and contribute to a better understanding of the hydrogeological conceptual site model. In this work different layers were overlaid, generating several thematic maps to arrive at an integrated framework of several key‐sectors in Caldas da Cavaca site. Thus, to accomplish a comprehensive analysis and conceptualization of the site, a multi‐technical approach was used, such as, field and laboratory techniques, where several data was collected, like geotectonics, hydrology and hydrogeology, hydrogeomorphology, hydrogeophysical and hydrogeomechanical zoning aiming the application of the so‐called DISCO method. All these techniques were successfully performed and a groundwater vulnerability to contamination assessment, based on GOD‐S, DRASTIC‐Fm, SINTACS, SI and DISCO indexes methodology, was delineated. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology was on the basis to organise and integrate the geodatabases and to produce all the thematic maps. This multi‐technical approach highlights the importance of groundwater vulnerability to contamination mapping as a tool to support hydrogeological conceptualisation, contributing to better decision‐making of water resources management and sustainability.

Estuaries and other transitional waters are complex ecosystems critically important as nursery and shelter areas for organisms. Also, humans depend on estuaries for multiple socio-economical activities such as urbanism, tourism, heavy industry, (taking advantage of shipping), fisheries and aquaculture, the development of which led to strong historical pressures, with emphasis on pollution. The degradation of estuarine environmental quality implies ecologic, economic and social prejudice, hence the importance of evaluating environmental quality through the identification of stressors and impacts. The Sado Estuary (SW Portugal) holds the characteristics of industrialized estuaries, which results in multiple adverse impacts. Still, it has recently been considered moderately contaminated. In fact, many studies were conducted in the past few years, albeit scattered due to the absence of true biomonitoring programmes. As such, there is a need to integrate the information, in order to obtain a holistic perspective of the area able to assist management and decision-making. As such, a geographical information system (GIS) was created based on sediment contamination and biomarker data collected from a decade-long time-series of publications. Four impacted and a reference areas were identified, characterized by distinct sediment contamination patterns related to different hot spots and diffuse sources of toxicants. The potential risk of sediment-bound toxicants was determined by contrasting the levels of pollutants with available sediment quality guidelines, followed by their integration through the Sediment Quality guideline Quotient (SQG-Q). The SQG-Q estimates per toxicant or class was then subjected to georreferencing and statistical analyses between the five distinct areas and seasons. Biomarker responses were integrated through the Biomarkers Consistency Indice and georreferenced as well through GIS. Overall, in spite of the multiple biological traits surveyed, the biomarker data (from several organisms) are accordant with sediment contamination. The most impacted areas were the shipyard area and adjacent industrial belt, followed by urban and agricultural grounds. It is evident that the estuary, although globally moderately impacted, is very heterogeneous and affected by a cocktail of contaminants, especially metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Although elements (like copper, zinc and even arsenic) may originate from the geology of the hydrographic basin of the Sado River, the majority of the remaining contaminants results from human activities. The present work revealed that the estuary should be divided into distinct biogeographic units, in order to implement effective measures to safeguard environmental quality.
