Femvertising or Femwashing?

Nowadays, advertising plays a crucial role in capturing consumers’ attention and changing their perceptions and behavior towards a brand. In recent years, brands have adopted a new marketing strategy, femvertising, which combines feminist values and female empowerment to challenge public perceptions of the role of women in society. This type of advertising has become a trend among advertising campaigns because ...

The role of distributed health literacy in asthma integrated care: A public med...

Background: Improvements in asthma integrated care might be achieved through in-depth knowledge about how health literacy is dispersed through a group. This study intends to map out health literacy mediators (those who makes his/her literacy skills available to others for them to accomplish specific literacy purposes) and how they enable self-management skills in patients with asthma. Methods: Twenty interviews...

Safety Protocol for Nasolaringoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing: cultural and li...

Background: In practice, a Speech Therapist works with several neurological diseases that present changes in swallowing, especially after acute stroke. These changes, called dysphagia, can lead the patient to death by leading to malnutrition, dehydration, tracheal aspiration and recurrent pneumonia [1]. Since most of these cases are diagnosed in a hospital setting, it becomes increasingly important to create wo...

Foamed Bitumen: an alternative way of producing asphalt mixtures

With the constant need to improve and make the production of asphalt mixtures more sustainable, new production techniques have been developed, the implementation of which implies the correct knowledge of their performance. One of the most promising asphalt production techniques is the use of foamed bitumen. However, it is essential to understand how this binder will behave when subject to the expansion process....

A mechanical analysis of asphalt recycled mixtures produced with high recycling...

In this work four asphalt mixtures were compared in terms of mechanical characteristics. One of the mixtures (control mixture) was used as a reference to the study of three mixtures produced with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). One of the recycled mixtures incorporated 30% of RAP and the other two were produced with 50% of RAP. The effect of using a rejuvenator additive (3% rejuvenator) was also evaluated in ...

Evaluation of foamed bitumen efficiency in warm asphalt mixtures recycling

The recycling of pavements is nowadays a very important question to the road paving industry. With the objective of incorporating higher percentages of reclaimed asphalt (RA) materials in recycled asphalt mixtures, new techniques have been developed in the last years. The use of foamed bitumen is normally associated with the production of cold asphalt mixtures, which usually show lower quality standards. Howeve...
