To this end, social, environmental, and spatial variables were combined to identify regularities of social behaviour that, on the one hand, reflects the relationship between users and the space and, on the other hand, show clues for future interventions in the garden. These results show the potential of mapping human behaviour for a sociological reading of the city's gardens as spaces that reproduce inequalities and struggles for environmental justice and urban socio-spatial justice

A observação direta de comportamentos e práticas assume-se como uma das técnicas mais mobilizadas na investigação sociológica, destacando-se pelo grau de exigência e rigor que é inerente à sua aplicação, mas igualmente pela profundidade das informações recolhidas. Contudo, parece faltar nesta técnica duas potencialidades importantes na pesquisa sociológica: a relação dos indivíduos com o espaço enquanto instituição e o mapeamento dos comportamentos que configuram essa relação, numa lógica ancorada na perspetiva da Sociologia do Indivíduo de Martuccelli e Singly. Ora, é nesta lógica que o presente trabalho propõe a integração da técnica do mapeamento do comportamento humano (MCH) na investigação sociológica, enquanto técnica amplamente usada pela psicologia ambiental, arquitectura paisagista e ecologia.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

This work provides new insights to major consumer trends, including ethical, environmental, and sustainable attitudes, focusing on sustainability from a circular economy and industrial symbiosis perspective. Herein, leather wastes from the automobile industry were transformed using both mechanical and chemical processes. Subsequently, the recycled residues were used to develop new coating formulations and applied as textile coatings, to obtain a new generation of more sustainable-coated textile solutions. The coated substrates were fully characterised and a series of normalized tests were conducted to determine and assess their mechanical and functional properties. The newly developed solutions met and even exceeded the performance standards and specifications of the fashion, shoes and accessories, furniture and home textile sectors. With the elaboration and application of novel coating formulations, a series of prototypes were developed with enhanced and innovative material. The Life Cycle Assessment of these new textile products demonstrated that they hold a lower environmental impact in comparison to natural leather used for clothing and shoe applications. Hence, the valorisation of hydrolysed natural leather wastes by textile coating applications was successfully achieved.

However, there is a lack of consensus in for or against its use due to the risks of intubation delay and aerosols environmental contamination. 1 Strategies to mitigate NRS iatrogenic risks and healthcare workers infection have been suggested. 2,3 Despite efforts to increase ICU resources, to cope with patient influx, general wards worldwide were converted in respiratory intermediate care units (RICU), where patients in need for NRS were treated. 4,5 Our goal was to evaluate the Portuguese reality regarding safeness and outcomes of NRS in COVID-19 ARF in a non-ICU setting. Adult patients with COVID-19 pneumonia needing NRS [high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and/or noninvasive ventilation (NIV)], treated in a RICU, were prospectively enrolled from November 18th, 2020 to February 18th, 2021. Institutional review boards authorised the study (n. 22/2021). Informed consent was waived. High flow nasal cannula was instituted if arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) 200 mmHg with FiO2 > 0.4, respiratory rate (RR) 25cpm and/or sings of respiratory distress. Continuous positive airway pressure and NIV was started if SpO2 <92%, RR 25bpm and/or sings of respiratory distress in patients with HFNC failure or ad initium if HFNC failure was expected. Arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen ratio was accessed before NRS institution. In patients with HFNC failure who increased support to CPAP/NIV, the PaO2/FiO2 considered was the one before CPAP/NIV. Noninvasive respiratory support settings were adjusted to maintain SpO2 92À96%. Continuous positive airway pressure and NIV was delivered by oronasal mask. All patients had a "do intubate" (DI)o r"do not intubate" (DNI) order defined at admission. Baseline patient's characteristics were compared according to NRS technique (HFNC vs. CPAP/NIV). The success rate was defined by invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV)-free survival. Several outcomes were recorded: length of stay, complications, need for endotracheal intubation (ETI) and

Nessa singularidade, a região pode ser lida como um «laboratório» da diversidade religiosa em Portugal. Neste estudo procura-se uma melhor definição dos contornos dessa paisagem religiosa, por meio de um efeito de zoom, tendo em conta as dinâmicas sociais que caracterizam a modernidade própria desta geografia.
