- Feral songbook: collective improvisation as an ecological survival techniquePublication . Luz, Nuno daThis article argues for a deeper understanding of how collective and participatory improvisation rehearses modes of political and ecological resistance to the manifold forms of violence and dispossession felt today. Taking cues from previous research conducted on populations of feral parakeets in Europe, the project Feral Songbook compiles a series of scores for collective and participatory improvisations that take these parakeets’ “territories of chant” as modes for polyphonic cooperation. For philosopher Vinciane Despret, “[bird] territories draw networks of sonic territorialities.” Such territorialities propose alternative, affective cartographies that counter Modernity’s bird's eye-view with the relationality of being within bird's earshot. Indebted to collective and participatory improvisations such as those proposed by composer Cornelius Cardew and the freeform collective Scratch Orchestra (1969–1974), this article describes how such practices may help restore our relationship with the nature culture continuum via rites of attention and mutual responsibility.
- Haped geographies: depleting echoes of extraction: sculpting, video archiving, and multispecies knowledge in peldehue’s extractive landscapesPublication . Allamand, Isidora CorreaExtractive capitalism has long shaped economic and geopolitical structures, particularly in the Global South, relying on large-scale resource extraction that reinforces dependency and environmental degradation. This system perpetuates power imbalances, concentrating wealth in industrialised nations while centralising digital-technological production in urban centres. This article examines the material entanglement of mineral exploitation and digital capitalism by analysing the political and legal frameworks that uphold resource management power structures. Through a case study of Peldehue, a rural town in central Chile marked by colonialism, extractivism, political violence, and environmental decline, it explores how artistic practice and decolonial frameworks can generate counter-narratives to territorial dispossession and ecological collapse. By revealing the spectral traces of depletion and resistance, the study highlights the persistence of multispecies interactions and socio-ecological knowledge under the ongoing pressures of extractivism.
- Response(ability)Publication . Neacșu, Andrada-Cristina; Cordeiro, Catarina Lopes; Yumurtaci, Dila; Gueidão, MartaResponse[ability] brings together contributions from graduate researchers, artists, and thinkers critically examining destruction, not merely as an end, but as a generative space for resistance, co-creation, and reimagining. Expanding on discussions from the 1st Graduate Conference on Science and Technology of the Arts, that took place at School of Arts, at Universidade Católica Portuguesa, the book explores how the concept of "response-ability" serves as an ethical and political form of resistance rooted in sensitivity, collectivity, and relational care. It addresses the impact of accelerating ecological collapse and violent political regimes on collective life, engaging the interconnection between human and nonhuman worlds, and fostering collaborative and participatory processes in arts, science, and heritage. The volume also considers the implications of speculative methodologies, embodied practices, and posthuman imaginaries, questioning how art and research might offer new ways of living, resisting, and imagining futures in the face of material loss. The book opens with an essay by Işıl Eğrikavuk, The Other Garden: Artistic Research, Ecology, and Belonging in the Academy, which explores how artistic research and storytelling can generate affective solidarities and new forms of agency. Enriching the discussion, this volume also contains contributions from Laila Algaves Nuñez, Filippo Deorsola, Nuno Da Luz, Isidora Correa Allamand, Pedro Andrade, Shahriar Khonsari, Rita Xavier, and Grécia Paola Matos.

- Inventory, study and conservation of a reliquaries collection of the Oporto's cathedral (Portugal)Publication . Miranda, Adriana; Meireles, Ana; Dantas, Ana S.; Lemos, Beatriz; Nogueira, Beatriz; Ferreira, Carolina; Babo, Catarina; Teixeira, Deise; Gonçalves, Diogo; Maia, Eduarda; Mendes, Gonçalo; Maia, Isabel S.; Alendouro, Leonor; Ferreira, Marta; Marinho, Matilde; Quinta, Miguel; Vinhais, Pedro; Riboldi, Raquel; Veríssimo, Rita; Rodrigues, Sara; Caetano, Stefanie; Sousa, Tiago; Couto, Victória; Guerreiro, Joana; Basto, Cristina; Coutinho, Maria; Camarneiro, Nuno; Vieira, EduardaThe current case study focuses on a collection of various types of reliquaries and crucifixes that belong to the collections of the Oporto’s cathedral. The collection includes reliquaries, pendent reliquaries, jewel reliquaries, and crucifixes collected by Amândio Silva a well-Known Portuguese painter of the 20th century. The collection was in storage at the Conservation and Restoration Center of this Católica university and without being inventoried or studied, and needing a proper conservation approach. Thus it was proposed to the 1st year students of the Conservation and Restoration bachelor to carry out these works and the assets were integrated as part of the workshop classes of the curricular unit of Preservation and Conservation Techniques under the supervision of an interdisciplinary team of teachers. Among the greatest challenges of this work, we can highlight the lack of information about the origin of the assets, their chronological and cultural framework and variety of material supports (metal alloys, paper, tissues, beeswax et al). After the first stage of the photographic registration and fill of inventory sheets, the collection was separated according its condition towards to outline the treatments. XRF was carried out in selected pieces to identify metal alloys of some objects with applied decorative coatings. Cleaning (mechanical and chemical) was the most applied operation, and in some cases disassembly and reassembly was performed as well structural strength through bonding and punctual welding. This task assumed the conservation of circa of 155 assets. The last phase consisted in a temporary packing of the collection in order to program a permanent proper storage.

- Strategies to improve patient's experience in the hospital setting: a scoping review protocolPublication . Jorge, Sara; Cunha, Diana; Marques, RaquelIntroduction: Patient's experience: set of interactions resulting from an organizational culture, which influence the patient, in care throughout time. It is through the unique patient’s experience that the quality of care provided is revealed and it can be used to target quality improvements. Since Donabedian’s work in 1980, the definition of healthcare quality has been the center of debate and has undertaken considerable changes. Quality of care is defined as having three domains: Patient safety; Clinical effectiveness; Patient experience. Hospitals with good quality performances have better clinical results, decreased use of services, reduced healthcare-associated infections, greater compliance, safety culture, higher profitability. Patient experience has three domains: effective communication; respect and dignity; emotional support. (Can be modified by factors that influence patient’s experience by affecting their needs, expectations, values). This protocol used the methodology proposed by Joana Briggs Institute (JBI) for the conduct of scoping reviews as a framework. Aim: To map and analyze the evidence on strategies to improve the patient’s experience in the hospital setting. Guiding question: What strategies have been implemented to improve patient’s experience in the hospital setting?
- Preliminary evaluation of decolourisation of Procion and Everdirect dyes by yeastsPublication . Mendes, Marta; Moreira, Patrícia; Castro, Paula; Pintado, ManuelaIntroduction: Environmental pollution is one of the most important problems of actuality. The textile sector is a large and worldwide business and the most important in many countries. However, besides the high economic value that generates, it produces high volumes of effluents due to the large quantities of water used in fabric processing. This causes an enormous environmental problem concerning the contamination of water from rivers due to the discharge of effluents containing a wide range of dyes. These dyes are persistent in water, resistant to biodegradation, interfere with photosynthesis processes and are responsible for toxicity, carcinogenic and mutagenic effects to the aquatic life. The aim of this work was to evaluate the ability of selected yeast strains to decolourise specific dyes frequently used in the textile industry. Methods: Previously selected yeasts were tested to their ability to decolourise dyes commonly used in textile industries. Reactive dyes Red Procion HE 4R, Yellow Procion H, Navy Procion HEXL and direct dye Yellow Everdirect Supra RL, commonly used in cotton fibers, were selected for this work. Selected yeasts strains named 1a., 1b. and 1c. were cultivated in NDM liquid medium supplemented with 100 mg/L of each dye, in a 24 well microplate that was incubated at 25 ºC for 48 h and 100 rpm. Decolourisation was observed by naked eye. The yeast’s ability to decolourise dyes in a solid medium was also tested using NSDM medium supplemented with 100 mg/L of dye and plates were incubated at 25 ºC for 48 h. Decolourisation halos around colonies were observed as well as the colour of the colonies themselves. Conclusions: Strain 1c. was the only effective yeast strain with regards to the ability to decolourise the dyes tested. In these conditions, strain 1a. and 1b. are only able to absorb the dyes tested. Strain 1c. seems to be the only one that is able to perform true decolourisation.
- Pontes criativas: a cooperação académica ibero-americana como caminho para um futuro sustentávelPublication . Teixeira, Luís; Max, Cristiano; Schirmer Kieling, AlexandreA economia criativa configura-se como vetor estratégico de desenvolvimento sustentável, sobretudo quando sustentada por redes de cooperação académica. Este estudo analisa a formação e a evolução da Rede Iberoamericana Interdisciplinar de Economia Criativa (RIIEC), formalizada em 2020 após a fase inicial de articulação em 2019. Descreve-se a sua arquitetura fundamentada em programas de pós-graduação e os principais instrumentos de disseminação e consolidação (CIIEC I–III, anais, cátedras e projetos). Metodologicamente, recorre-se à análise documental de convenções, comunicados, páginas institucionais e anais, complementada por um estudo de caso descritivo e por uma proposta de indicadores de impacto alinhados com os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável e cristais de avaliação do impacto universitário (socioeconómico, científicotecnológico e cultural/territorial) no âmbito da terceira missão. Os resultados evidenciam a institucionalização progressiva da cooperação, a interdisciplinaridade operacional entre programas e a convergência com o Pacto Educativo Global na promoção de valores humanistas e de formação integral. Discute-se, ainda, a necessidade de avaliações empíricas de impacto e apresentam-se recomendações para refinar métricas, alargar comparações entre contextos e integrar metodologias mistas.
