description: The aim of the project was to engage the community into the recovery and revitalization of some traditional trades and crafts that are at risk of disappearing. At the same time we intended to make students aware of the lost traditions from previous generations that with time are going to be lost. When visiting the place where the black clay of Bisalhães is produced (Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO) we realized that there are not enough potters. We went to explore the pottery extraction and production processes and we organized a traditional fair where we exposed all the pottery pieces made by students, so all the community could be aware of Bisalhães pottery. With our enthusiasm we awake the community curiosity for the beauty of traditions.

description: The project consisted of a market study, in order to know the attitudes of the inhabitants of Vila Nova de Famalicão (VNF) towards the use of plastic, and to measure the knowledge of the population of VNF about microplastics. Students of various grades that were interested in the theme carried out the project. The main goal was to change mentalities and consequent practices. It was concluded that, although the inhabitants of VNF know what microplastics are and what is at their origin, they do not reveal much concern in changing their daily practices because practical solutions are still not implemented.

Venda do Pinheiro Ecopark

description: After the inauguration of a local park located next to Venda do Pinheiro school, students quickly began to encounter problems of misuse. Specifically, they complained about garbage scattered in a park that was still new: cigarette butts in the skate and sports areas, dog waste, and other situations. The aim of this project was to challenge students to find solutions to make park users aware of how to improve their behavior. After identifying this common problem, each group had to design a multimedia product to raise public awareness, either by creating a video campaign, or designing a piece of urban furniture using 3D modeling and printing.
Two-layer exchange flow through a contraction with frictional effects
Creators: name: Cheung, Emily Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The gravitational exchange of two fluids of different density through a convergent-divergent contraction is considered. Two-layer exchange flow theory is extended to include frictional effects with an emphasis on the interfacial friction. The magnitude of the interfacial friction is found to be greater than previously suggested and may be vital to the analysis of exchange flows. Experiments modelling gravitational exchange flow through a convergent-divergent contraction were conducted in the hydraulics laboratory at the University of British Columbia to test the hydraulic solutions that have been developed on two-layer exchange flow. A comparison of the theoretical solutions and experimental results is made. Experiments conducted provide data for evaluating the theoretical findings and help in locating the hydraulic controls of the experiment along with quantifying the magnitude of interfacial friction coefficient. A comparison is made between numerous values obtained for the interfacial friction coefficients by previous investigators and the experimental results of the present study. Flow visualization is used to study the Kelvin-Helmholtz and Holmboe instabilities that form at the interface of the two layers.

description: The appreciation of the central role of Coulombic interactions in enzyme catalysis has led to the development of many ‘spin-off’ strategies for controlling chemical reactions. In particular, supramolecular chemistry has become increasingly proficient in using encapsulation/compartmentalisation to control both stoichiometric and catalytic reactions within the inner-spaces of hosts. This noted, there are still many open questions around the design of electrostatic potential fields within such hosts, and how exogenous factors can be used to fine-tune these properties. Here, we report on the cyclisation of 12-bromododecane-1-thiol 2 inside supramolecular capsule 12 to give thiacyclotridecane 3, and how the rate of this reaction changes as a function of exogenous salts. We find that this cyclisation is slowed in the presence of exogenous anions, with attenuation being highly dependent on both their nature and concentration. Thus, this work demonstrates how anions at the more-weakly solvated end of the Hofmeister series can associate with the outer walls of the capsule and so attenuate cyclisation. This suggests new ways in which reactions in inner-spaces can be indirectly modulated by exogeneous chemical entities.

description: For about four months, in the 2018-2019 school year, students from Escola Secundária Jaime Moniz were involved in the project “UV-friendly or enemy?”. The project went through various activities that promoted interdisciplinarity between the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Geology, and established contacts with their community. They also had the chance to conduct surveys and share the responses obtained on the Goballab platform, gaining awareness of the relevance of the problems associated with sun exposure at local and global levels. In the end, each group of students from each of the classes, created a product to present to the educational community, raising awareness of the problem studied. The products created were: posters, leaflets, games and a song (original lyrics and music) warning about the dangers and benefits of ultraviolet radiation for human health and the use of sunscreens.

description: This special issue represents a unique contribution to the field of early childhood care and development and to Aboriginal education: The experi­ences of Indigenous communities from around the world that are working to address the development needs and potentials of their young children. The voices heard are those from Aotearoa/New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Hawaii, and the mainland United States. Although the University of Victoria's School of Child and Youth Care has a history of partnerships with Aboriginal communities that goes back to 1989 (Pence, Kuehne, Greenwood, & Opekokew, 1993; Pence & McCallum, 1994), the more recent impetus for this volume was the school's hosting of an International Perspectives on Indigenous Quality Early Childhood Care and Develop­ment Forum in February 2006. Most of the authors who have contributed to this volume participated in that forum (see Contributors to this Issue at the end of this edition for a list of forum participants) and agreed that the sharing spirit of the symposium should be reflected in a special issue of an Aboriginal journal.

description: In recent years, diamond has shown great potential in solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) photodetection due to its ultrawide bandgap (∼ 5.5 eV) and other superior semiconductor properties. However, the response region of diamond photodetector is usually smaller than 230 nm, which cannot cover the whole solar-blind region from 200 to 280 nm. In this work, an ε-Ga2O3/diamond photodetector with wide spectra responsivity from 210 (or even lower) to 260 nm was fabricated. High-quality ε-Ga2O3 film with columnar crystal was epitaxially grown on single crystalline CVD diamond substrate by pulse laser deposition (PLD). TEM characterization revealed that the ε-Ga2O3 film grew along the <001> orientation on diamond (100) substrate. The deep ultraviolet (DUV) photodetector based on the ε-Ga2O3/diamond structure showed a high light-to-dark ratio over 5.7 × 104 and good linear response to the incident light power density from 10 to 400 mW/cm2. Moreover, compared to other photodetectors, the fabricated ε-Ga2O3/diamond photodetector achieved high responsivity and wide spectra response region from 210 to 260 nm, with high solar-blind rejection ratio of 104 (R240/R280) and 165 (R210/R280), respectively. The extension of spectra region with high responsivity of the ε-Ga2O3/diamond photodetector can be attributed to the thin thickness of ε-Ga2O3 film (around 200 nm) and parts of the DUV light were absorbed by diamond. The high responsivity and wide spectra response region indicate the fabricated ε-Ga2O3/diamond photodetector can be used for the detection of ultraviolet in the most of the DUV region.

description: In this project we studied the aquaponics system that allows the simultaneous production of some species of vegetables and fish. In this way, it allows the identification of the circular economy system, present in this production circuit. When feeding fish in an aquarium, the excrement produced by them is rich in nutrients that feed the plants that, in turn, filter the water for the fish. With a water pump, that keeps the water in circulation, a continuous closed circuit is achieved. We concluded that, with water and energy savings, without using phytopharmaceuticals, and with naturally occurring processes, an economy of means and the food quality is guaranteed: plants and fish. In studying this, we looked for ways to obtain the material, we do the installation and maintenance of the system, performed daily tasks and monitor the growth of plants and animals, managing to use aromatic herbs for the school bar and also divulge it.
Survey of household hazardous waste generation and collection preferences in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia
Creators: name: Jones, Evan Lewis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The potential hazards to the environment and to human health posed by several types of household hazardous wastes (HHW) and waste products are discussed in this paper. This discussion serves to lead into an evaluation of the design and operating parameters of a collection program for these wastes, and the influence that various design parameters may have on the ability of the collection program to remove the wastes from uncontrolled waste stream. A review of existing HHW collection programs and of surveys regarding HHW's is presented. A survey of over 200 households in Vancouver was conducted to determine stored quantities and generation characteristics of specific household hazardous wastes. Respondents were also asked to identify their preferences and concerns regarding the design of a collection program for these wastes. The results were used to estimate the quantities of HHW disposed of annually, and the quantities and profiles of wastes that could be received at a typical depot collection program in the City. Different operating parameters for both depot collection programs and household collection programs were compared. Public willingness to participate in different collection programs was evaluated, and the collection needs of different residential areas was assessed. Significant differences in waste generation and storage practices were indicated to exist between types of dwellings, and between areas of differing economic status. Examples include the result that as many or more apartments residents generated HHW's as did detached dwelling residents, but in significantly smaller quantities, especially for liquid HHW's. Apartment residents also tended to store less HHW than detached dwelling residents. Between upper income and lower income detached dwelling areas, the composition of HHW's was significantly different, with automotive products more prevalent in the lower income area and paints more prevalent in the upper income area. Other differences between dwelling type and income level differentiated areas were also noted. Further observations included the difference in the willingness of respondents to participate in various types of collection programs, and the disposal practices for different waste types. Also, concerns of the respondents with regard to the issue of HHW in general and to each type of collection program in specific were solicited and discussed. Recommendations were made to assist in the design of an effective HHW collection program for the City of Vancouver.

Haemaphysalis atheruri

description: Haemaphysalis atheruri Hoogstraal, Trapido and Kohls, 1965
 This is an Oriental forest species that is relatively host-specific for the Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine (Atherurus macrourus) from which it was originally described based on specimens from peninsular Malaysia and northeastern Thailand (Hoogstraal et al. 1965a). It has since been recorded from Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam (Kolonin 1995, 2009). All life history stages have been found on A. macrourus, and records indicate that it can occur at up to 2,100 m above sea level (Hoogstraal et al. 1965a).

description: Tradução de leaflet do Projeto AGFORWARD - As azeitonas e o azeite são fundamentais na saudável dieta mediterrânea, e tem havido uma procura crescente de produtos do olival provenientes de agricultura biológica sustentável. Os olivais, tanto os tradicionais como os modernos, têm frequentemente grande espaçamento entre as linhas de árvores (5 a 9 m) que têm de ser geridos, designadamente para o controlo de plantas infestantes. Para fazer face aos desafios atuais, incluindo as necessidades crescentes de (i) terra arável, (ii) uso eficiente da radiação e (iii) cobertura total do solo para evitar a erosão, semear uma cultura sob o coberto arbóreo parece ser uma boa solução. O trigo duro biológico, outra componente importante da dieta mediterrânea, é uma opção interessante a considerar como cultura sob o coberto arbóreo.

description: Language is the essence of our being, of who we are. It's the defense against assimilation. If we lose our language, then we've truly lost. (Frank Weaselhead, Blackfoot Elder, The Canadian Indigenous Languages and Literacy Development Institute, Edmonton, July 14, 2004). his in itself is interesting language policy direction; however, for In­digenous people in Alberta and their languages it brings a number of concerns. What will this requirement mean for Indigenous languages, language instructors, and language teachers? Who will ensure that their needs are planned for? What will this policy directive mean for In­digenous children? Will it be sufficient to support their Indigenous lan­guage development? Will it affect the revitalization of the Indigenous languages of Alberta? What else needs to be done?

description: We explore concerns about punctuality, attendance, and student underperformancein Nunavut schools informed by a study (Berger, 2001) that surveyed predominantlyQallunaat (non-Inuit) educators about current and desired adaptations to schoolsmeant to move school culture toward Inuit culture. We argue that the clash betweencontemporary Inuit culture and Qallunaat school culture, problems with currentschool practices, and the region's colonial past and present all contribute to makingresistance and poor student performance predictable and inevitable.Recommendations include true Inuit control of education including meaningfulconsultation with communities, adoption of curriculum and pedagogy that honorInuit culture, and extensive cross-cultural and ESL training for Qallunaat educatorsworking in Nunavut.

description: When discovering artifacts from ancient periods, humans often experience a deep and ineffable emotion. While studying the kingfisher as a symbolic representation of nature to restore the nature-human connection, we accidentally unearthed a valuable antique artifact in the journal: a picture of kingfisher taken nearly a century ago. The artifact was displayed in “Life History of the Amazon Kingfisher,” written by Alexander Skutch and published by The Condor (1957). Inspired by the picture, we wrote this paper to discuss the humanistic value of nature-related science, art, painting, and literature for humanities in the age of climate and biodiversity loss crisis.

Significance of building and plumbing specifics on trace metal concentrations in drinking water
Creators: name: Singh, Inderjit
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Samples were taken from 72 high-rise apartment suites (6 suites in 12 individual high-rise towers) and 60 single-family houses located within the Greater Vancouver Regional District. The influence of the following factors on trace metal concentrations in 1-L first-flush drinking water samples and running hot water samples was investigated: building height, location, plumbing age, type of plumbing and type of building. Results of this survey show that with the exception of building height, all factors had a correlation with one or more of the trace metals investigated. The trace metals examined were lead, copper, iron and zinc. Lead was influenced primarily by building type, copper by plumbing age and type of plumbing and iron by location. Elevated lead levels were associated with high-rise samples. New copper plumbing systems resulted in high copper levels. Highest iron levels in the drinking water were measured in the East location. Zinc did not show a distinct correlation with any of the factors investigated. Brass faucets were the primary source of zinc in tap water. They also contributed substantially to the lead detected in the 1-L first-flush sample. Metal concentrations measured in high-rise and house samples were compared with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) and the proposed no-action level for lead1. In high-rise samples, the 0.01 mg/L "no-action" proposed for lead was exceeded in 43% of the samples and 62% of the samples exceeded the current 1.0 mg/L MCL standard for copper. In single-family house samples, these values were 1 Compliance with the proposed 0.01 mg/L no action limit for lead is based on a sample average. Individual samples may exceed this value and still be in compliance. 47% and 73%, respectively. The average lead concentration for all high-rise samples was 0.020 mg/L and 0.013 mg/L for house samples. Regulatory levels stated above would still be exceeded in 6% of the cases for lead and 9% of the cases for copper, even after prolonged flushing of the tap in a high-rise building. In all cases associated with single-family houses, flushing the cold water tap for 5 minutes was successful in achieving compliance levels.

description: How to improve our school playground? Based on the school plan and the surrounding area, it was decided to promote science activities in the playground by sharing scientific knowledge. In these activities, 20 pupils and 4 teachers participated as organizers, covering a community of 244 pupils (ages 3-10), 18 teachers and 11 other school’s staff. We chose a set of scientific questions, connected with the knowledge of space, the influence of the Sun in our lives and with the protection of bats. We promote the questions through two tools: a conference and an exhibition, both organized by the students. The conferences was prepared in small groups, by exploring and using reliable scientific sources such as Ciência Viva science centres and ESERO Portugal. In the exhibition scientific knowledge was offered at the school playground, in an experimental, interactive and dynamic approach, where we were the facilitators and guides of the other students and the educational community.
The affect of anaerobic volume reduction on the University of Cape Town (UCT) biological phosphorus removal process
Creators: name: Lee, N. P.  (Nelson Paul)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The objective of this research was to optimize the bio-P process as applied to a weak sewage with respect to HRT in each of the process zones. This goal was to be achieved by changing the HRT of the various zones with all other operating characteristics being held constant. The experimental work during this study involved two initially identical process trains operated in the University of Cape Town (UCT) mode. The aerobic zones of both trains were divided into four equal sized complete-mix cells to allow observations of phosphate uptake and poly-β-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) consumption under aerobic conditions. After steady-state was established, the anaerobic HRT was reduced to 50% of the original value in the experimental module by reducing the anaerobic reactor volume. At the same time, the mixed liquor of both trains was drained, mixed and reapportioned to the two processes, thereby assuring equivalent starting conditions. Results of this study showed that both processes performed identically prior to the anaerobic HRT change. After the anaerobic HRT change, there was a forty day period where P removal and effluent P were the same in both process trains. This was so, even though the anaerobic P release was considerably less in the experimental module. Subsequently, a change in influent sewage type corresponded to a change in P removal and effluent P in the two process trains. An examination of the process parameters showed that the anoxic zone of the experimental module, after the anaerobic HRT change and the sewage change, consistently removed less P or released more P than in the control module. As a result, the control module out-performed the experimental module. Batch tests and tests to better characterize the influent sewage were then conducted in an attempt to determine the reasons for the different P removal characteristics. Under the test conditions, it appeared that the original anaerobic HRT was excessive. This was preferable to an insufficient anaerobic HRT, such as in the experimental module, however. The anoxic zone may have been too large, too small or just right for optimum P removal depending on the influent sewage characteristics. Optimizing the bio-P process by reducing the aerobic zone HRT appeared to have the greatest potential.

description: In this project, the students decided to measure the values of radon in the water and in the air in different points of our city and, at the same time, warn people about the consequences of high values. We placed several detectors to measure the values of radon concentrations and concluded that some of the values were well above the reference values. The project was only possible due to the unconditional help of the city council of Pinhel, the LabExpoRad of Beira Interior University and the students that attended our school last year. We think that this work represents a school open to an open society.
