  • Culture as a model for the social inclusion of Brazilian migrants in Portugal
    Publication . Almeida, Lígia; Moutinho, Raquel; Silva, Natacha Jesus; Leite, Jorge; Oliveira, Marcelo; Caldas, José
    Migrants and refugees’ influx into Europe has been steadily rising, and social indicators consistently show a decrease in economic and social protection towards vulnerable populations. Recent research shows that a sense of belonging is central towards integration in a new country. Unfamiliarity with culture contributes to isolating migrants and prevents participatory citizenship. Our objectives are to identify gaps in cultural competence and accessibility to culture in our country, understanding their cross-sectoral consequences – namely regarding the Brazilian community. Our study followed a qualitative methodology (online semi-structured questionnaires) for collecting and analysing data (content analysis) and was conducted in Porto, the second largest Portuguese city. Participants were 38 Brazilian immigrants, contacted through NGOS’s, social associations and institutions during the pandemic. Brazilian collective is a strong consumer of cultural events and resources, having a very strong perception regarding its value and role when it comes to their own paths of integration.

  • Upcycling wastewater treatment plant sludge into eco-friendly cement mortar
    Publication . Grabowski, Thais; Pietrobelli, Juliana; Martins, Ramiro
    Aiming to create alternatives for the disposal of sludge generated in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) considering the circular economy principles and contributing to the reduction of environmental impacts generated by civil construction, the objective of this work was to evaluate the technical feasibility of the partial replacement of cement in the production of mortars by the sludge produced at the Bragança WWTP. The sludge was characterised, and different methods were used to prepare the sludge for the mortar. The sludge was incorporated by replacing part of the concrete mass of the mortar mixture. The specimens were tested for compressive strength. The specimen with 7% of sludge ash obtained the best result, the specimens with sludge from the drying-only treatments showed a result similar among themselves. The incorporation of the sludge resulted in mortars within the specification of the standard EN 998-1: 2018 and consequently have technical feasibility.
