The data are part of the "Respirar Fundo" project, promoted by the Association 'Bora Ambientar, which monitors air quality in 13 Portuguese schools. In the Braga district, the project included these three locations and the results obtained indicate concerning levels of pollutants in the air near the educational establishments assessed.

The North African Neighbor and its Climate Moods…

The article analyses the desertification affecting North Africa and spreading southward, particularly to the Portuguese Algarve, explaining how climate patterns have changed drastically. The author describes in detail the Milankovitch Cycles — axial precession, eccentricity, and axial tilt — as the main scientific causes behind the transformation of the ancient "Green Sahara" (between 11,000 and 5,000 years ago) into the current desert. The article also explores how these climate changes triggered human migrations from North Africa to Mesopotamia, the Nile Valley, and the Iberian Peninsula, with ancient DNA studies confirming African genetic affinities in Iberian samples from the Neolithic/Bronze Age.

Functional medicine doctors recommend that prevention begin in your 20s, through measures such as daily physical activity, sun protection, strength training, sleep hygiene, bone health reinforcement with calcium and vitamin D, and avoiding heating food in plastic to prevent the release of endocrine disruptors.

A port from Jesus' time reappears in the Sea of Galilee. And there is a hypothesis that excites archaeologists

The low water levels of the Sea of Galilee partially revealed an ancient Roman port associated with Capernaum, which remained partially submerged for almost two millennia. The discovery, which excited archaeologists, now allows the study of a structure dated to the time of Jesus and the early Christians, offering new clues about daily life and commercial activities in the region during the Roman period.

The Moon is preparing to receive its first space "airport"... there are already traffic rules

The Moon is about to receive its first space "airport", with traffic rules already established to manage the growing lunar traffic. With multiple spacecraft, logistical modules and crewed vehicles heading to the Moon, it becomes necessary to regulate space traffic to avoid collisions and conflicts between missions from different countries and companies. The new rules aim to coordinate landings, takeoffs and the occupation of specific areas on the lunar surface, marking a new era in commercial and governmental space exploration.
