In my opinion, absurd is the word.

Yes, there are databases that provide detailed information on onshore wind production for wind farms in Portugal. One notable resource is The Wind Power database, which offers comprehensive data on wind farms, turbines, manufacturers, developers, operators, and owners. This database includes detailed statistics and is regularly updated.

Yes, currently I'm writing about Indonesian's point of view towards the Netherland post-colonialization. I've so many interesting things. Hit me up for the cooperation

The alignment between higher education delivered by management courses in Portugal and market demands may vary and is dependent on a number of variables. Consider the following crucial points:

Curriculum Relevance: The degree to which management courses fit with market demands is determined by the curriculum's design. The curriculum is more likely to be linked with market demands if it is revised on a regular basis to reflect current industry trends, integrates real-world case studies, and includes feedback from industry experts.

Collaboration with Industry: Collaboration between institutions and the business sector may improve alignment. Universities may obtain insights into current market demands and alter their programmes if they have good links with local companies. Internship programmes, guest lectures, and research partnerships are examples of this.

Adaptability and flexibility: The corporate environment is dynamic, and market demands change over time. Management programmes that are adaptable and flexible are more likely to give graduates the skills and knowledge that are presently in demand.

Faculty Credentials and Experience: The credentials and experience of faculty members play an important role in matching education with market demands. Professors with hands-on expertise in the sector and a deep awareness of industry trends may help students better prepare for the real world.

Career Services and Placement: The availability and efficacy of career services and placement assistance at universities may also have an influence on the alignment of education and the labour market. It is possible to improve alignment if colleges have excellent career services departments that assist students in finding suitable internships and employment opportunities.

Student Engagement: Participation in extracurricular activities, industry conferences, and networking events may all help with alignment. Students who actively seek out chances to connect with the business sector are more likely to be job-ready.

Government Policies: Government policies and laws may have an impact on how education and the market are aligned. Government programmes to foster innovation and entrepreneurship, for example, may generate a need for graduates with certain talents.

Thanks for sharing. I wish you every success in your task.

Embora esta questão seja multifacetada e completamente afetada pela perspetiva pessoal de cada individuo, esta é a minha opinião:

Pessoalmente, acredito que a imagem generalizada da profissão de docente é positiva. Embora a imagem esteja algo danifica em comparação direta com as gerações mais antigas, as quais demonstram um maior respeito perante a profissão, as gerações mais jovens tendem a ter uma imagem positiva, mesmo quando esta não é demonstrada no contexto de sala de aula.

Em linhas gerais, diria que sim. Considero pessoalmente que a maioria da população jovem entende minimamente os desafios aliados à profissão de docente (largas horas, cansaço, pressão sobre resultados, influência dos pais, etc.). Ou seja, creio que grande parte do prestígio associado a esta profissão está aliado ao entendimento das dificuldades da mesma.

Desde o primeiro momento, creio que se prende à falta de influência dos próprios docentes em motivar os alunos para tal. Creio que posso falar por todos que já experienciámos docentes no passado a desmotivar atingir a sua posição, principalmente devido à falta de remuneração, devido reconhecimento do seu cargo ou a distância promovida pelas colocações.

Primeiramente, uma possível reforma educacional, principalmente através de avaliações de professores ou reformas curriculares. Adicionalmente, a introdução de uma maior adaptação às tecnologias é fundamental. Por último, uma reforma dos modelos de aprendizagem, os quais se devem focar mais na compreensão e análise crítica e não em "decorar" métodos e aprendizagens, método este atual que tende a ser ineficaz a longo prazo.

George D. Kamenov at the University of Florida (United States, https://geology.ufl.edu/research-and-facilities/facilities/) can do these analyses, although you may want to look to somewhere closer geographically.

It would be nice for our community to develop a list of regional and global isotope laboratories, if no one has done it yet.

Interesting question. I am here on Research Gate looking for ideas on what lyophilizer to purchase, because I just decided to return our Lanconco lyophilizer. It is just not working correctly. Any recommendations? We are lyophilizing MSC media with hyaluronic acid and trehalose as additives. Thank you!

If your eluent A is hexane and eluent B is dichloromethane as your title states, then it's expected to see pressure raise. Dichloromethane has higher density and viscosity and this is the reason for the pressure change. If you need to reduce the pressure, use one or combination of these: Reduce your flow rate, increase your column temperature, use less tightly packed column and/or wider bore, or adjust gradient steepness.

Those are normal phase solvents. If you had the system running with reversed phase solvents (aqueous buffers, MeOH, ACN), then you must be certain your carefully flushed out those before running any hexane or dichloromethane through the system. Your current eluents don't mix well with aqueous solvents and will create bubbles and droplets in the flow path. Flushing order is something along Water -> 50:50 water:IPA -> 100% IPA -> then your hexane or dichloromethane. A common problem with pressure and unstable baseline with normal phase runs is this - running the normal phase solvents without properly removing the aqueous solvents.

Additional note: Make sure your pump uses the correct seals compatible with those solvents. HPLCs instruments nowadays have reversed phase-compatible seals installed as default option. Consult with your instrument manual or manufacturer tech support if you need to switch the seals. Typical reversed phase seals degrade under exposure to some normal phase solvents (hexane, chloroform, dichloromethane).

Hi, Joana,

Gibco provides the supplements for keratinocytes with the media as well that include EGF human recombinant and Bovine Pituitary extract. Did you add these in your media? And you would also need a antifungal and antibiotic to avoid contamination. Usually, with all this taken into account, they grow pretty well. All the best!

Dear Anabela,

You hit a very hot topic and I am adding my voice to you. I am originally from a Mediterranean country where we significantly struggle with such problem. We have the acute PD catheter and also the Permanent peritoneal catheter, then we get stuck how will we maintain chronic PD. After I observed the tools in the the UK and in the Western countries; I felt really sorry for all the children we have backhome. The problem is

a) lack of CAPD machine

b) No trained nurses or doctors or parents to do the job

c) No dedicated PD fluids or proper connections for that.

My suggested solutions (I am sure I can be wrong), but to think about:

a) Used, or unwanted CAPD machines from UK, Germany, France, .... to be redistributed to needy country.

b) Funds from ESPN and IPNA to train and supervise such practice and to give the appropriate training.

c) Donations of CAPD devices from the manufacturers as we will sustain the practice later.

c) Trial of funds from celebrities (for example you can try CR7) who are generally very generous once our voice reach them. This will add heavy weight to solve that.

I am happy to participate at any stage if there is a program that we can develop to help these children. The main treatment modality at the moment for children with ESRD is HD (this is for my country).

Kind regards ,

Dr Sameh Abdulsamea

Dear Carolina,

I am really sorry to be unable tu fulfill your requirements !

To obtain 2 kg of dry seaweed it is necessary to process 15 to 20 kg of fresh weight and unfortunately I don't have the possibility to do it. On the other hand the place where I can harvest the seaweed is located in an unhealthy area so there is risk of bacterial contamination.

Hoping you will find another supplier !

Thank you all! I'm still having trouble, since I do not find a single map that does not pixelate when I zoom in my study area. All rasters (even the ones that I could find in QGIS) either pixelated and with very low quality or doesn't allow me to zoom in that much (says map is unavailable).

Hello Gloria,

Fun to look into this for you, for Rattus rattus in the UK we're talking circa 10-11th centuries about the same time as the crusades. Archaeological digs of Roman sites suggest a range between the most likely earlier in mainland Europe.

Require a review of all construction projects that could have adverse impact on sites. Require archaeological surveys and if necessary further excavations prior to construction.

Yes I care

I will send you a direct message with a systematic review I have under review currently; these interventions were focused in the U.S. so you would have to see if any have been adapted for Portugese populations. The link below also lists evidence based and promising practices (also U.S. based):

Thanks for the answers.

The IMF helped many countries with balance of payments and public debt problems . However, it has been severely criticized because along with the bailouts (loans) it offers comes also the notorious conditionality i.e,. imposition of economic policies that countries had to launch in order to qualify for the bailouts. Such policies were almost always recessionary, countries had to reduce government expenditures, raise taxes, reduce wages and pensions that often frustrated and much angered the citizens of the bailout recipient countries. As the voting power in the IMF was distributed according to economic position of countries in the world economy , wealthy nations kept large shares of the IMF capital (quotas) and voting power as well,

As the world economy has been changing the IMF did non make the necessary structural changes to reflect the economic distribution of income and wealth among nations especially the rising of the East Asian countries. For these reason the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) was launched in 2016 upon the initiative of China. It consists now of 93 members with a mission to promote economic development mainly in Asia and in other continents.as well. AIIB is clearly a competitor of the IMF. The IMF was never capable to bailout a large country because its limited financial capital.Therefore IMF, relevance was always limited.

As for the IMF role in the European Sovereign Debt Crisis, it was detrimental. Nonetheless EU is responsible for this, since upon the suasion of Germany's Chancellor Merkel and particularly her Finance Minister Schauble EU invited the IMF to participate in the bailouts programs. The EU and the IMF imposed conditionality and strong austerity to the bailout recipient countries. Such measures prolonged the crisis and brought the Eurozone near its collapse.

The EU is a group of relatively wealthy countries and alone should had handled the Eurocrisis without the IMF.

The Eurocrisis was particularly catastrophic to Greece which lost a quarter of its GDP and experienced 25 % unemployment.

The IMF/EU and German policies certainly are responsible of transforming Greece

from a developed country to an impoverished nation.The IMF, the EU and particularly Germany never recognized that their policies send millions of Europeans to poverty and to unemployment thus irrevocably changing the future of the Eurozone and the EU that are both seriously threatened by a breakup

Hi Simon Ford ,

Since our last conversation, ive been talking to my Professor regarding the research question in the retail business.

First, i was able to secure a data source from a retail store (Staples). It seems they are partnering up with a portuguese 3D printing machine manufacturer in order to provide a service in wich the costumers go to the store, select what type of object they want to craft and the store do all the rest. It seems that this business model is based on pay-to-use.

I also talked to my Professor regarding the question "How are retailers incorporating AM applications into their business model?" (wich was your question from a paper you wrote). He liked it lot, said this could be applied to my research.

So, he told me to search for literature on how does a company changes from one business model to another (if i could find anything in the retail business, better) and how does a company react when facing a new technology curve.

Im just letting you know how this is going on, since it was from your question that i started all this.

Ill keep you posted.

Best regards,

Economically upward, but need to pay more attention to their infrastructure.

Dr Geoff, interesting research indeed. Good luck, LSA Academic House can help compiling a journals with minimum fee to fund our under privileged student in Borneo.

Well, I don't exactly have answers, but I do think you should pose this question on Espora, the list-serve of ASPHS (the Association for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies). I suspect someone will know someone in environmental history.

try International Energy Agency reports as they provide complete data year wise.

Dear Giorgio;

You could also try these links too:

and as a question, what is your idea about grid data? you could achieve theme more easily.

Excellent question Dr. Gustavo Chalier. I think Argentina was disadvantaged by neutrality in World War II. Portugal already, I don't understand the reasons of neutrality. Maybe Dr Carlos can explain us better.

Solitary bees are those species which are not eusocial.

That says they have 3 traits together: 1- division of labot /caste system involving sterile individuals that assist those that reproduce. 2- cooperation among colony member in tending the youngs. 3- overlap of generations capable of contributing to colony functioning. This is a basic definition from Gullan & Cranston "The insects - an outline of entomology, all the editions. So your responses (A,B,C and D) are not relevant and not true. Their is a problem with A: what do you call a Bee hive? if it is the "house of the bees" do you call "hive" the hole in the soil or in wood that a solitary bee does to lay her eggs and put food for the future youngs?

It is an article on a CNN website. It also states that these are political statements, which still may come to nothing.

Hi Adriana,

I am from Ghana but doing my PhD in Organisational Psychology in Australia, Macquarie University.

Unfortunately, I am not able to help as you are interested in studying chemistry in Portugal.

Good luck in your search.

A more direct link to such publication can be the site of the Portuguese journal "Tourism & Management Studies" ( http://tmstudies.net/index.php/ectms ), as well as the sites of the TMS INternational Conferences - Algarve 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. You simply have to write them in Google and the confences site will apear. As I remember on this conferences there were several papers on this topic an I myself reviewed a paper on literature torusim in Lisbon (tourism related to novels in which the action take place in Lisbon.

Dear Antoine,

For comparing diversity Index (for e.g. Shannon) you can use the T-Hutchenson (Zar, 1996; page 157). It is a specific analysis for comparing diversity index, I attached to this message a .xls file for calculating Hutchenson tes. You have to do this in paired way. Ifyou need help I'am available without interest to help you. (by the way, you dont need to replicate measures, nad the anova it does not work for comparing diversity index).

I hope it 's not too late but I suggest   that you read Miguel Vale de Almeida: 

Portugal's Colonial Complex: From Colonial Lusotropicalism to Postcolonial Lusphony. Link : http://miguelvaledealmeida.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/portugals-colonial-complex.pdf

I have found many useful resources in this post. In case someone needs to download data from Spain (Canary and Balearic Islands separately) here is a link to open data: http://www.esios.ree.es/web-publica/.

On the other side, I am interested also in open available generation data of ISOLATED SYSTEMS, like for example Flores island, Azores, which is studied in the article from André Pina.

Hello Diego,

Since I live in Brazil, which was a Portuguese colony until 1922, I can only comment about what I know about how Portugal dealt with the locals and what was Portugal's policy in regard to the recently discovered lands which she occupied in the 1500s.

It is beyond any doubt that after Pedro A. Cabral discovered the Brazilian territory, all Portuguese expeditions sent here had the sole purpose of exploiting the new lands' natural resources. Brazil was rich in mineral ores and precious stones. The so-called "bandeiras" had the only function to discover where they existed. Once found, specially in what became the Minas Gerais state (General Mines, the name itself says a lot), for several centuries the Portuguese court explored them and hauled that immense richness back home.

Furthermore, before the trafficking of slaves from Africa, the Portuguese colonizers enslaved the local Indians, ill-treating them as later they did the same to the black slaves brought by force to the Brazilian "fazendas" in Portuguese hands.

In fact, Brazil's independence happened because the locals, descendants of Portuguese people, but having already acquired their own national identity as "Brazilians," revolted against Portugal's exploitation, taxation and political-military occupation. And, ironically, a Portuguese ruler - Don Pedro I - declared that independence as he congregated with the locals' feelings.

Similar abuses happened in all territories (terras d'além mar) that Portugal colonized. Just as a more recent example, the Mozambican independence revolution last for 10 years (1964-1974), as a result of the frustration amongst many Mozambicans, who saw the foreign rule as a form of exploitation and mistreatment, which sole purpose was to advance Portuguese economic interests. And the Mozambican independence was reached mainly because of the Carnation Revolution in 1974, which finally ended the Salazar era and created democracy in Portugal.

Therefore, if Margarido is very critical about Lusophony, he has good reasons and many similar examples to base his criticism. I recommend you read this paper, which speaks about Angola and clarifies why Margarido is so critical about the Portuguese dealings with colonized lands:

Les Porteurs : forme de domination et agents de changement en Angola (XVIIe-XIXe siècles)

Full text found here:

Interestingly, along the last two centuries, Brazilians kept no demurs in regard to Portugal and maintained very friendly relations with the Portuguese people an attitude which persists to our days. Subliminally though, the typical Brazilian jokes about the Portuguese seem to evoke some hidden bad feelings. Something for social psychologists to study and explain :-)

Be well and good luck in your research

Though many years ago, I did my doctoral thesis about Vicia amphicarpa and I studied and characterized different Spanish populatins of this wild species. Your seeds look like those of some of my samples. So I would say that they could be of some Vicia species, probably one of the Vicia sativa group and maybe of Vicia amphicarpa. Only with the seeds is very dificult to identify the species, but you can sow them some of them in a pot and observe the plant

Well, that depends on the countrie's availability of drugs.

However, there is a recent Systematic Review of Cochrane (2014) which I consider very useful and updated about this (attached).

I hope you find it interesting too.

Well the main key is the both sides of the strait, therefore Herculeum is a good option,

Betic-riffian tectonic region does not include the portugeese side nor  but surely is the key tectonic reason for what you have found,

In  old roman times  we have Lusitania,Baetic and tingitanian provinces  comprising the distribution you refer to so why not to amalgamate them in " Tin/bae/lus".   Or Betingia from Betis and tingitania...

 You may also want to search and consider this names Cynetes/Turdetani/Buquata

Now before the Romans the South Iberian region was actually not Iberian but Tartesian/Tartessos and it included  the Portugeese Algarve,and most andalusian provinces...

So we have a good name for the Spanish portugeese side to join to the northAfrican Atlas  side  Altlantotarteso
