Wastewater Metavirome Diversity
This study investigates viral composition in wastewater through metagenomic analysis, evaluating the performance of four bioinformatic tools-Genome Detective, CZ.ID, INSaFLU-TELEVIR and Trimmomatic + Kraken2-on samples collected from four sites in each of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Lisbon, Portugal in April 2019. From each site, we collected and processed separately three replicates and one pool of nucleic acids extracted from the…
Land cover changes in buffer zones and the effectiveness of this conservation strategy
Towards a typology of agri-urban patterns to support spatial planning
Urbanisation in Europe has been the main cause of agricultural land fragmentation and agricultural land use loss and has given rise to significant socio-economic and environmental costs, particularly in urban regions. Accordingly, there is a consensus in the literature that sustaining urban and peri-urban agriculture are significant towards urban sustainable development. This paper aims to characterise agri-urban spatial patterns and changes occu…
Modelling urban form
The conceptual and methodological debate on urban form has grown in the last decades to recognize that social, economic, demographic and political processes can contribute to the development of new urban forms, especially those related to urban sprawl, as well as to find alternative methodologies for measuring them. Spatial metrics derived from landscape ecology arise as principal indicators to measure urban form. This paper proposes a typology o…

Patterns of Sexual Risk Behavior, HIV Infection, and Use of Health Services Among Sub-Saharan African Migrants in Portugal
This study identified patterns of sexual risk behavior among a sub-Saharan African migrant (SAM) population in Portugal and examined its associations with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence, sociodemographics, use of sexual health services, and HIV testing. A cross-sectional biobehavioral survey was conducted with a venue-based sample of 790 SAMs. Data were collected using questionnaires and rapid HIV tests. Cluster analysis identified…
Building a prospective participatory approach for long-term agricultural sustainability in the Lezíria do Tejo region (Portugal)
Addressing the gaps between theory, research and practice, this paper explores a hybrid mindset of participatory action research (PAR), geoprospective and participatory geographical information system (PGIS). This approach brings together stakeholders, policy-makers and researchers - in an agricultural peri-urban region of Portugal, the Lezíria do Tejo region - to anticipate the possible changes in agricultural territories, while taking spatial d…
Compliance of land cover changes with municipal land use planning
Lezíria do Tejo
The article analyses urban and agricultural dynamics in the Lezíria do Tejo region. Located on the Lisbon third metropolitan ring, this region is currently facing the decline of agriculture along with an urban sprawl that is occurring mainly through the conversion of farmland. According to the Regional Spatial Plan (PROT-OVT), one of the solutions to enhance agricultural activity and farmland preservation is agricultural multifunctionality. We fo…
Dynamiques urbaines et mutations des espaces agricoles en Languedoc-Roussillon (France)
Le Languedoc-Roussillon, dans lequel le rural viticole et la ville sont historiquement associés, connaît depuis quelques années des transformations urbaines importantes, affectant rapidement l’espace agricole. Celles-ci se manifestent par l’accroissement de la contiguïté urbaine dans les espaces littoraux, par la périurbanisation, et par le renforcement, entre Montpellier et Nîmes, des dynamiques de caractère métropolitain. Pour connaître plus pr…
