El romance «Yo me estando en Tordesillas», por su carácter trunco y lo enigmático de su desarrollo, ha resultado ser un acertijo desde la publicación del romancero de Durán pues resultaba imposible identificar una «reina de Castilla, infanta de Portugal» que llegó a Coímbra, no pudo entrar en la ciudad y se refugió en un monasterio «que estava en el arrabal». El análisis de la guerra castellano-portuguesa por la sucesión de Fernando I permite identificarlo fácilmente con un episodio del conflicto, el fallido ataque a esta ciudad de 1384, pues sabemos por la crónica de Ayala que su esposa Beatriz, heredera del reino portugués, acompañaba a su marido Juan I de Castilla que reivindicaba para ambos la corona lusa y que, en febrero de este año, Coímbra les cerró las puertas y se alojaron en el monasterio de Santa Clara de Coímbra, en el arrabal de la ciudad., Due to its truncated character and enigmatic development, the ballad «Yo me estando en Tordesillas» has turned out to be something of a riddle ever since the publication of Duran’s ballad collection since it was impossible to identify the «reina de Castilla, infanta de Portugal» who arrived at Coimbra, couldn´t enter the city, and took refuge in a monastery «que estaba en el arrabal». An analysis of the Castilian-Portuguese war of succession of Fernando I easily establishes it as an episode in the conflict, namely, the failed attack on Coimbra in 1384. We know from the chronicles of Ayala that Beatriz, heiress of the kingdom of Portugal, accompanied her husband Juan I of Castile, who claimed the Portuguese crown: and that in February of 1384 Coimbra closed its gates to Beatriz and Juan, and that they sought protection in the Monastery of Santa Clara, Coimbra, on the outsk irts of the city.

The present study intends to present the analysis of records of passports of the District of Coimbra whose holders intended to travel/emigrate to the Brazilian province of Rio Grande do Sul between 1881 and 1889. Despite the vast bibliography about Portuguese emigration to Brazil in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, there are still few studies focusing on Rio Grande do Sul, where the study of German and Italian immigration predominates. It was analyzed 396 passports of the Civil Government of Coimbra, available in the Archives of the University of Coimbra and in the FamilySearch website. The main conclusions are: an absolute majority of male; the proximity between the number of married and single; the high index of instruction for the Portuguese parameters of the second half of the nineteenth century; a majority of rural workers and evidence of a violent reality., O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo apresentar a análise de registros de passaportes do distrito de Coimbra cujos titulares pretendiam viajar/emigrar para a província brasileira do Rio Grande do Sul entre 1881 e 1889. Apesar da vasta bibliografia existente a respeito da emigração portuguesa para o Brasil nos séculos XIX e XX, ainda são poucos os trabalhos que se centram no Rio Grande do Sul, local onde predomina o estudo das imigrações alemã e italiana. Foram analisados 396 registros de passaporte do Governo Civil de Coimbra, disponíveis no Arquivo da Universidade de Coimbra e no site FamilySearch. As principais conclusões a que foi possível chegar são: uma maioria absoluta de titulares do sexo masculino; a proximidade entre o número de casados e solteiros; o elevado índice de instrução para os parâmetros portugueses da segunda metade do século XIX; uma maioria de trabalhadores do mundo rural e indícios de uma realidade violenta.

This paper falls within the scope of heritage tourism studies, focusingparticularly on one UNESCO World Heritage Site. It seeks to contributeto tourism literature by achieving a better understanding of whichcognitive and affective factors are behind tourists’decisions to travel tothese sites, their experiences during their visit and behaviouralintention after the visit. A self-administered questionnaire focusing onthe variables included in the proposed research model was given totourists. A composite-based structural equation modelling approachwas employed for the analysis. Thefindings revealed a significant andhigh correlation between travel attitude and perceived authenticity,travel motivations and destination image, and authenticity anddestination image, but it goes beyond those relations by analyzingthem in an integrated manner and at different stages of the visit tocomprehend tourist behavioural intention after the visit. Besides thetheoretical advancements with this study, the practical and managerialimplications must be emphasized particularly for entities responsible fordestination marketing that may be able to use the outcome of ourresearch to work on proper promotion strategies.

This paper falls within the scope of cultural tourism studies, focusing on a World Heritage Site and intends to contribute to tourism literature by trying to better understand the differences between the tourists visiting it. A survey was conducted by self-administered questionnaires designed to identify different types of cultural tourists in post-UNESCO Coimbra (Portugal) so as to understand what they look for, the importance they assign to motivational factors, whether they are interested in participatory activities which call for cognitive, intellectual or affective engagement and their degree of satisfaction. A hierarchical cluster analysis was carried out based on age, education, family income, nationality, and length of stay. To perform this analysis of identification of homogeneous groups, Ward's method and the Squared Euclidean distance were used as a measure of similarity. The variables were standardized to avoid bias due to the different scales. The results of this analysis allowed the identification of two groups. Chi-square analyses and Mann-Whitney U tests were also carried out for better characterizing the clusters. Results seem to be useful for destination managers to provide what tourists seek, to enhance their experiences and satisfaction, and strengthen this destination competitiveness and value creation.

Charge injection and generation mechanisms under intense electric fields (up to 10(9)Vm(-1)) in mineral oil are assessed experimentally and numerically. For this, current-voltage characteristics under positive and negative polarities are measured in a needle-plane configuration using sharp needles (with tip radius R-tip <= 1.1 mu m). In addition, a state of the art electro-hydrodynamic (EHD) model is implemented to calculate the contribution of the different mechanisms on the high-field conduction currents in the liquid. In order to evaluate exclusively the contribution of field emission, experiments are also performed in vacuum. It is found that neither field emission nor field ionisation can explain the conduction currents measured in mineral oil. It is proposed that field molecular ionisation, as described by Zener tunnelling model for solids, and electron impact ionisation are the processes dominating the generation of excess electron-ion pairs in mineral oil under positive and negative polarity, respectively. It is also shown that Zener molecular ionisation alone grossly overestimates the measured currents when parameters previously suggested in the literature for mineral oil are used. Preliminary model parameters for these mechanisms that best fit the conduction currents measured in mineral oil are presented and discussed., QC 20190423

A urbanização das cidades passa pelos usos sociais que são feitos dos seus rios. Refletir sobre os rios urbanos apresenta-se então como uma possibilidade de interpretar sociologicamente o processo de configuração dos espaços das cidades, a construção da sua identidade e a projeção de sua imagem e, sob essa perspectiva, torna possível também discutir os projetos de cidade que se buscam construir. O presente estudo parte da seguinte questão: qual a importância do Rio Mondego na constituição das paisagens urbanas da cidade de Coimbra? Para compreensão da paisagem urbana de Coimbra a partir do Mondego propõe-se uma pesquisa de cariz qualitativo, com privilégio aos componentes sociais que compõem a paisagem desse rio. Valendo-se do método regressivo-progressivo proposto por Lefebvre se buscará pensar a cidade e sua história a partir da relação com o rio para refletir sobre os processos sociais que configuraram o contexto urbano atual de Coimbra., The urbanization of cities passes through the social uses that are made of their rivers. Reflecting on urban rivers presents itself as a possibility to interpret sociologically the process of city space configuration, the construction of its identity and the projection of its image and, from this perspective, it also makes it possible to discuss city projects that they seek to build. The present study is based on the following question: what is the importance of the Mondego River in the constitution of the urban landscapes of the city of Coimbra? To understand the urban la ndscape of Coimbra from Mondego it is proposed a qualitative research, with privilege to the social components that make up the landscape of this river. Using the regressive-progressive method proposed by Lefebvre, it is sought to think of the city and its history from the relationship with its river to reflect on the social processes that shaped the current urban context of Coimbra., Peer Reviewed

Only a few Institutions in Europe can praise to be such an important chapter of the European culture like the University of Coimbra, and its unique philosophical tradition, already started in the Middle Ages, is still nowadays a crucial passage to understand the entire History of Philosophy.

Continuamos a ler em obras de Sociologia e de História da Idade Contemporânea (já para não referir a imprensa escrita e oral) que as mulheres entraram no mercado laboral durante o século XX ou finais do XIX e que até então estavam confinadas ao espaço doméstico. Trata-se de uma afirmação errónea que cabe aos modernistas continuar a desmentir. Nesta comunicação propomo-nos abordar alguns aspetos do trabalho feminino na cidade portuguesa de Coimbra durante o século XVI e princípios do XIX, utilizando documentação de origem municipal e de instituições caritativas. Serão destacadas artesãs, lojistas, vendedoras de mercado, funcionárias dos hospitais, amas de expostos, peticionárias de esmolas e ainda o caso de uma mulher de negócios de sucesso.

A cidade é constituída por uma multiplicidade de elementos urbanos, criados e sucessivamente reinterpretados em diferentes épocas. Estes elementos sobrepõem-se uns aos outros no espaço e no tempo, em continuidade ou em ruptura, originando um complexo processo evolutivo que condiciona a forma da cidade, preservando através da sedimentação urbana, as marcas e os vestígios de estruturas passadas até à actualidade. Pressupondo a construção urbana no tempo longo como um acto contínuo de produção de tecido sobre pré-existências, é assim possível conhecer a evolução morfológica da cidade a partir da leitura dos vários vestígios preservados no tecido urbano. Assim, o artigo visa descrever de que modo, através de uma metodologia que compreende a articulação de diferentes tipos de fontes, é possível gradualmente reconstruir a evolução morfológica da cidade, percebendo e evidenciando o valor de elementos urbanos pré-existentes, através da sua utilização contínua, na produção da forma urbana, utilizando-se como exemplos o Cardo Máximo e a Mesquita de Coimbra, The city consists of a multiplicity of urban elements, created and subsequently reinterpreted at different times. These elements overlap each other in space and time, in continuity or rupture, creating a complex evolutionary process that determines the shape of the city, preserving through processes of urban sedimentation, the marks and the remains of past structures up to the present. Assuming the urban construction in long time as a continuous act of fabric production over pre-existing structures, it is thus possible to know the morphological evolution of the city by reading the various remains preserved in the urban fabric. Thus this paper aims to describe how, through a methodology that includes the articulation of different types of sources, it is possible to gradually reconstruct the morphological evolution of the city, realizing and demonstrating the value of pre-existing urban elements, through their continuous use in the production of the urban form, using as examples the Cardus Maximus and the Mosque of Coimbra., Peer Reviewed

Comunicación de Andrés de Rozas al secretario Jerónimo Villanueva sobre la resolución real en relación con Francisco Birtus, estudiante irlandés, hijo de padres principales y católicos, que desea ser eclesiástico para volver a su tierra a predicar la fe. Suplicó al rey le hiciera merced y limosna de señalarle alguna cosa anual en el limosnero, como se suele hacer, o de una carta para ser recibido en el Colegio de Lisboa, que no tiene más de diez colegiales y suele tener treinta, o que se escriba a alguno de los obispos de Córdoba, Coimbra u otros para que le reciban. Al Consejo pareció conveniente que el rey mandara recibir a este estudiante en el Colegio de Lisboa, lo que ha mandado Felipe IV, de lo que se avisa a Villanueva para que haga los despachos necesarios en sus tramitación.

The University of Coimbra in Portugal shared the common calling of universities of preparing future ruling elites, but it fulfilled this mission in its own way. Considering the period 1537- 1820, this paper presents some indicators of its specific social and cultural roles, such as the evolution of the numbers of students, their geographical origins (including a significant contribution from Brazil), and the kind of knowledge they were seeking. A second cluster of considerations focuses on the relationship with political (and ecclesiastical) power, not only in terms of the representation of the University¿s instrumental function, but also of its subsequent actual behavior - combining protection and control - such as in the granting of funding resources, the appointment of professors and academic authorities, and mechanisms conditioning access to future careers.

[ES] Aunque la historiografía portuguesa ha prestado especial atención al expreso reconocimiento del reino de Portugal por parte del papa Alejandro III, este hecho nunca se ha puesto en relación con otro coetáneo y no menos singular como lo es la concesión simultánea de fueros a las poblaciones de Coimbra, Lisboa y Santarém por parte del rey «Fundador» Alfonso Enríquez. El planteamiento como hipótesis inicial de trabajo de la existencia de una posible relación de causalidad entre ambos hechos y la búsqueda de su verificación en el análisis crítico de los documentos que dan cuenta de las actuaciones pontificia y regia conduce a resultados sorprendentes sobre el proceso de elaboración de estos forais en los que sin perjuicio de la tradición jurídica e histórica se da entrada a los principios del Derecho común para presentar al primer rey de los portugueses como «Imperator in regno suo»., [EN] Although Portuguese historians have already paid special attention to the recognition of Portugal as a kingdom by Pope Alexander III, this very fact has not yet been connected to another singular contemporary fact: the simultaneous concession of «forais» to the towns of Coimbra, Lisbon and Santarem, by king Alfonso Enríquez. The assumption, as an initial working hypothesis, that there is a possible causal relationship between both facts, as well as seeking to verify such hypothesis by means of a critical analysis of the documents respectively embodying the action of both Pope and King, lead to remarkable results about the redaction process of these «forais», where, while keeping within the bounds of the current historical and juridical traditions, it also occurs the reception of the «Ius commune» principles, depicting the first Portuguese king as «Imperator in regno suo».

Neste artigo, apresenta-se uma metodologia de análise da capacidade de uso urbano do solo, associada à identificação de áreas com adequabilidade preferencial a usos determinados. A análise baseia-se na aplicação de um modelo que permite definir classes de aptidão para diferentes tipos de uso, em função de critérios urbanísticos e limitações ao crescimento urbano, incluindo a possibilidade de manifestação de riscos naturais. A descrição das diferentes fases do modelo é apresentada em associação com um estudo de caso, numa área concreta da cidade de Coimbra., In this paper, we present a methodology to the land urban use capacity analysis, associated to the identification of prime ability areas to specifics uses. The analysis is based on a model application that permits to define ability classes to different use types, in function of urbanity criterions and urban growth limitations, including natural risks occurrences possibility. The different phase's model description is associated with a study case, in a concrete area at Coimbra town.

In the winter of 1997, a signs of a landslip occurred, which resulted in stabilization work being carried out on the slope, greatly increasing the safety of the whole hillside. About three years later, on 27 December 2000, there was another landslip in the same place, between Rua António Jardim and the back of a 16-floor apartment block, n" 339, on the Avenida Elísio de Moura. This landslip shifted a mass of earth calculated to be around 4000 cubic metres, affecting an area of approximately 120 x 60 m, with a drop of almost 50 m, dragging with it the covering vegetation, which consisted mainly of large eucalyptus trees. The slippage was caused on the one hand by human activity on the slope and, on the other, by the abnormal rainfall that preceded the event, No Inverno de 1997, ocorreu no local um esboço de deslizamento, na sequência do qual foram efectuadas algumas obras de estabilização da vertente, que muito aumentaram a segurança de toda a encosta. Cerca de três anos depois, no dia 27 de Dezembro de 2000, registou-se novo deslizamento no mesmo local, situado entre a Rua António Jardim e as traseiras dum prédio com 16 andares, o n"339 da Av. Elísio de Moura. Este deslizamento movimentou um volume de terras avaliado em cerca de 4 000 m3, afectando uma área com cerca de 120x60 me com, aproximadamente, 50 m de desnível, tendo arrastado o respectivo coberto vegetal, constituído essencialmente por eucaliptos de grande porte. Esta movimentação ficou a dever-se, por um lado, a intervenções antrópicas na vertente e, por outro lado, às precipitações anormais que antecederam o evento.
