Introduction: Chronic diseases impact morbidity and mortality and are associated with frequent use of health services. Nursing interventions can contribute to reducing hospital readmissions. Objectives: This study aims to map the literature on nursing interventions and their impact on 30-day hospital readmissions. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute model, with t...
ABSTRACT: The search for advanced materials has been growing, and high entropy alloys (HEAs) are emerging as promising candidates for application in the fusion domain. This work investigates the effect of Cr on the FeTaTiW medium entropy alloy to form (CrFeTaTi)70W30 high entropy alloy, comparing the experimental production and characterization with the simulation (molecular dynamics and hybrid molecular dynami...
Background: greater longevity raises challenges in several areas, including health and care provision. With advancing age, many morbidities and co-morbidities arise, leading to a higher rate of dependency and a greater need for formal or informal care. Objective: to assess the perception of a group of specialist nurses about the care provider's role. Methodology: an exploratory and descriptive qualitative study...
Introduction: Prolonged hospitalization and lack of activity during hospitalization are associated with functional decline, greater complications and increased health care costs. Gait programs are strategies to promote mobility levels that can reverse these outcomes. This study aims to map the literature on the impact of gait programs on the length of hospital stay. Methodology: Scoping review based on the Joan...
Over the last few years, there has been increasing interest in the use of amorphous carbon thin films with low secondary electron yield (SEY) to mitigate electron multipacting in particle accelerators and RF devices. Previous works found that the SEY increases with the amount of incorporated hydrogen and correlates with the Tauc gap. In this work, we analyse films produced by magnetron sputtering with different...
In this study, thin films composed of gold nanoparticles embedded in a copper oxide matrix (Au:CuO), manifesting Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) behavior, were produced by reactive DC magnetron sputtering and post-deposition in-air annealing. The effect of low-power Ar plasma etching on the surface properties of the plasmonic thin films was studied, envisaging its optimization as gas sensors. Thus, t...
The possibility to tune the elemental composition and structure of binary Me oxynitride-type compounds (Me1Me2ON) could lead to attractive properties for several applications. For this work, tantalum-titanium oxynitride (TaTiON) thin films were deposited by DC reactive magnetron co-sputtering, with a –50 V bias voltage applied to the substrate holder and a constant substrate temperature of 100 ◦C. To increase o...
Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre a desigualdade social histórica do país e seu impacto nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem para crianças e adolescentes. Além disso, versa sobre as contribuições de Henri Wallon em contextos educativos e a valorização da afetividade nos cenários educativos. Nesse sentido, apresenta os resultados das estratégias pedagógicas de cuidado e atenção elaboradas para acolher à...
In a new era for digital health, dry electrodes for biopotential measurement enable the monitoring of essential vital functions outside of specialized healthcare centers. In this paper, a new type of nanostructured titanium-based thin film is proposed, revealing improved biopotential sensing performance and overcoming several of the limitations of conventional gel-based electrodes such as reusability, durabilit...
