A Framework Design for Information Management in Heritage Science Laboratories

1 December 2020

The article discusses the challenges faced by heritage science laboratories in managing data effectively due to the exponential growth of data from research outputs and sample analysis. To address these challenges, the proposal suggests implementing a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) tailored to the specific needs of heritage science laboratories. The LIMS aims to streamline workflows, minimise information repetition, and enhance productivity by offering features like drag-and-drop file uploading and intuitive workflow design. Legal considerations, such as data ownership and compliance with regulations like the European Union General Data Protection

The circular economy in transforming a died heritage site into a living ecosystem, to be managed as a complex adaptive organism

1 December 2020

Climate change manifests as a process rendering the Earth increasingly inhospitable, straining the delicate balance between ecosystems and humanity, and it is a consequence of our struggles to reconcile conflicting interests. Central to this dilemma is the prevailing economic system, which perpetuates ecological and social impoverishment. Aligning with the Green New Deal of the European Union, the adaptive reuse of cultural assets offers a pathway towards integrating economy with ecology through a circular economy model. This paper aims to elucidate the transformation of dying heritage sites into dynamic, living systems

Cultural Heritage Valorisation and the public access to National Monuments

Testing the feasibility of titanium dioxide sol-gel coatings on portuguese glazed tiles to prevent biological colonization

29 November 2020

The article focuses on evaluating the applicability of protective coatings, specifically titanium dioxide (TiO2), on glazed wall tiles to prevent biological colonisation and biodeterioration. The study involved applying thin films of TiO2 obtained by sol-gel on various Portuguese glazed tiles and a modern tile. Chemical and mineralogical characterization of the tiles was conducted using spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The TiO2 coating was further analysed for its anti-biofouling properties through microscopy techniques. Results indicated that the TiO2 coatings, while immobilising nanoparticles on the surface, did not effectively prevent fungal growth on
