- Assessing the vernacular built heritage of Montesinho Natural Park: an ICT-enhanced survey methodologyPublication . Tapiero, Juan; Vasconcelos, Graça; Graus, Sandra; Khei, Soon; Silva, Dener; Conde, Otavio; Ferreira, Tiago; Ortega, Javier; Luso, Eduarda; Rodrigues, Hugo; Vascvoncelos, GraçaThe INHAVIT book is a 240 pages summary of the works carried out during the project. It includes 15 chapters describing the activities carried out, the main objectives of the project and the results obtained. The main objective of INHAVIT has been the study and identification of the physical, social and environmental vulnerabilities that may be contributing to the current state of progressive abandonment of several rural villages in the Montesinho Natural Park (MNP), in the northeastern Portugal, which is the case study of the research project. Once the vulnerabilities are well defined and better understood, the results aim to contribute to safeguarding the vernacular heritage by creating awareness and promoting its continuous occupation by improving its living conditions and its resilience to multiple hazards. The book also includes perspectives on the conservation of the vernacular heritage from recognized researchers in different geographies. The outcomes of the project are expected to help stakeholders and local communities to make decisions on how to intervene in the vernacular built-up environment to transform it into sustainable, resource-efficient settlements. The complex problem and research objective has been tackled from different perspectives and research areas, involving theory of heritage conservation practice, conservation management, surveying and documentation, construction technology, digital models and virtual reality, thermal comfort, building energy consumption, nondestructive testing, long-term monitoring, social vulnerability, multihazard vulnerability, climate-related hazards, etc. This integrated multidisciplinary approach is considered a step forward in the topic of rural heritage conservation.

- Uma proposta para a utilização de uma estratégia conceptual no ensino da Física para alunos com dislexiaPublication . Fernandes, Ana; Cardim, Sofia; Soares, SandraA dislexia consiste num transtorno que resulta numa incapacidade específica da aprendizagem, de origem neurobiológica, que perturba a leitura e a escrita. Considerando que nem todos os alunos aprendem ao mesmo ritmo, foi construído um mapa conceptual para a resolução de problemas sobre Energia, no plano horizontal e no plano inclinado, conforme o disposto no documento das Aprendizagens Essenciais de Física e Química A do 10º ano do Ensino Secundário, cujo principal objetivo é melhorar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, nos alunos com dislexia, uma vez que estes apresentam uma fluência de leitura mais lenta, o que pode traduzir-se numa compreensão também mais lenta. Desta forma, os mapas conceptuais, ao constituírem ferramentas de estudo autónomo, tornarão mais fácil a aprendizagem do tema Energia que, por si só, dado o seu caráter abstrato, constitui um dos mais difíceis para os alunos.
- Fairness in Designing Decision-Making Processes with Multi-Agent Systems and Human FactorsPublication . Vieira, Gustavo; Zeiner, Herwig; Paletta, Lucas; Fernandes, Rui; Rosse, Higor; Sabiri, Khadija; Paz, Juan F De; Barbosa, JoséThis paper explores the integration of Human Factors (HF) into Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) to enhance fairness in decision-making processes in Industry 5.0 environments. We contribute with a human-centred perspective in the development of MAS by integrating the physiological aspects of workers in the manufacturing industry. This culminates in the measurement of human resilience. This paper presents an automotive manufacturing environment where wearable sensors and AI-driven analytics assess workers' physiological and psychological stress levels to calculate a human resilience score. This score, along with worker preferences, supports a dynamic worker allocation algorithm based on MAS that adapts to production demands. Our approach embodies the Industry 5.0 vision of technologies that support adaptive, transparent and, above all, fair human management. The system uses advanced technologies to meet business goals and employee needs and to promote a more inclusive, supportive and people-centred work environment.
- Acknowledging gentrification through media art: a bibliometric review and research agendaPublication . Cardal, Susana Azevedo; Vaz, RobertoGentrification has gained significant attention in recent years due to the noticeable demographic, economic, social, architectural, and infrastructure changes occurring in urban areas. These transformations are often driven by an influx of people with higher socio-economic status, who may completely or partially replace the working-class population. Media art has emerged as an important medium for representing the complex social and cultural processes associated with gentrification. This study examines the research landscape of media art concerning gentrification by conducting a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the field over the past 30 years, supplemented by data visualization. The analysis of the 80 data consisting of high-quality peer-reviewed publications retrieved from the Scopus and Web of Science databases reveals that this scientific field is relatively unexplored but has gained a growing international interest during the past decade. This interest is reflected in the attention given by various international journals, conferences, and books. Results also suggest that seven countries are leading the development of the field worldwide, accounting for more than three-quarters of publications. The evolution of themes on the subject is identified for distinct periods, and key themes are discussed according to their relevance and development degrees, concluding several future research directions that need critical international attention to advance this scientific field.
- Upcycling wastewater treatment plant sludge into eco-friendly cement mortarPublication . Grabowski, Thais; Pietrobelli, Juliana; Martins, RamiroAiming 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.
- Domínio espaço nos manuais portugueses de físico-química do 7º ano: uma perspetiva de géneroPublication . Fernandes, Ana Maia; Soares, Sandra; Cardim, SofiaA questão da sub-representação feminina nas áreas STEM tem sido amplamente analisada a nível global, devido à desigualdade de acesso das mulheres a algumas dessas áreas, como a Física. Nesse contexto, a escola desempenha um papel fundamental na democratização do conhecimento e na promoção da igualdade de oportunidades. O viés de género presente nos manuais escolares pode influenciar significativamente as perceções sobre quem possui competência em determinadas áreas do saber, uma vez que essas representações frequentemente perpetuam estereótipos ligados a papéis sociais específicos. O estudo analisou representações de género em imagens do domínio Espaço em manuais portugueses de Físico-Química do 7.º ano. Utilizando um design de investigação mista, identificaram-se desproporções significativas de género e padrões que perpetuam estereótipos masculinos, em linha com a literatura. Os resultados indicaram que, em todas as categorias avaliadas, o número de figuras masculinas foi superior, com a razão entre figuras masculinas e femininas variando de 1,8 a 9,0. No que diz respeito às figuras históricas, foram encontradas apenas duas referências femininas. Nas categorias “pessoas associadas à atividade científica” e “pessoas a realizar atividades relacionadas com os conteúdos do manual”, a desproporção entre homens e mulheres também foi evidente. Nesta última categoria, as atividades desempenhadas pelas figuras femininas, também em alinhamento com a literatura, continuam a reforçar estereótipos de género, destacando papéis maternais ou atividades de lazer.
- Estudo de dados e probabilidades em manuais escolares portugueses dos primeiros anos escolaresPublication . Fernandes, José António; Barros, Paula MariaNeste capítulo analisam-se manuais escolares portugueses de matemática, do 5.º e 6.º ano de escolaridade, no tema Dados e Probabilidades, tendo-se estabelecido as duas seguintes questões de investigação: 1) Quais as orientações dos manuais escolares portugueses dos primeiros anos na exploração do tema Dados e Probabilidades? e 2) Os manuais escolares dos primeiros anos, no tema Dados e Probabilidades, refletem as diretrizes curriculares portuguesas? Para tal, foram selecionados seis manuais escolares, três do 5.º ano e três do 6.º ano, que correspondiam aos três manuais mais adotados pelas escolas nos respetivos anos. A análise dos manuais desenvolveu-se através da análise de conteúdo, partindo de categorias e subcategorias pré-estabelecidas. Em termos de resultados, verificou-se que os manuais incluem tarefas em contextos variados, em que se salientam os relacionados com alunos e os relativos a jogos de sorte e azar (no tópico Probabilidades), sugerem com pouca frequência o uso de tecnologias digitais na exploração das tarefas e propõem poucas tarefas de investigação. Já quanto às diretrizes curriculares, a maior discrepância aconteceu nas investigações estatísticas, em que a grande relevância que lhes é dada nos programas escolares não se repercute plenamente nos manuais escolares.
