Dadas as dificuldades de subsistência financeira e de dinamização da Associação Cruz de Cristo Futebol Clube, vislumbra-se pertinente efetuar um diagnóstico da sua gestão e apurar quais as opções de desenvolvimento mais viáveis que permita uma rápida inversão do cenário atual, assegurando em primeira linha a sua sustentabilidade económico-financeira e, consequentemente, o seu crescimento e maior envolvência com a população local. Na sequência desta constatação, surgiu a questão de partida para o presente projeto aplicado: Qual o estado atual da Gestão da Associação CCFC e que atividades poderão gerar maior notoriedade e adesão da população à associação com vista a assegurar a sobrevivência da organização? A realização de entrevista ao presidente da direção e a recolha de informação por questionário que possibilitou a elaboração uma análise interna da associação, bem como o elencar de atividades e suas principais características, que poderão viabilizar o interesse da população pela manutenção da Associação.

This paper presents the fabrication and characterization of a polymeric foil able to sense deformation, gather sensitive information and send it for further analysis. Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are embedded in laminated polymeric sheets commonly used in the car’s flooring. The fabrication of the Bragg sensors and the integration of the optic sensors in the foil is described, using industrial fabrication processes. The obtained foil is capable of transferring the full deformation to the optic sensor and returning to the initial position when no deformation exists, providing good sensibility. Application of this sensing foil includes automobile chassis monitoring.

This work presents an autonomous system for marine integrated physical-chemical and biological monitoring – the MarinEye system. It comprises a set of sensors providing diverse and relevant information for oceanic environment characterization and marine biology studies. It is constituted by a physicalchemical water properties sensor suite, a water filtration and sampling system for DNA collection, a plankton imaging system and biomass assessment acoustic system. The MarinEye system has onboard computational and logging capabilities allowing it either for autonomous operation or for integration in other marine observing systems (such as Observatories or robotic vehicles. It was designed in order to collect integrated multi-trophic monitoring data. The validation in operational environment on 3 marine observatories: RAIA, BerlengasWatch and Cascais on the coast of Portugal is also discussed.
