Individual cognitive stimulation in people with dementia: Good practices
Silva, R.; Santos-Costa, P.; Bobrowicz-Campos, E.; Gil, I.; Cardoso, D.; Apóstolo, J.Background: Cognitive stimulation (CS) focuses on the intellectual and social stimulation of people with neurocognitive disorders (NCD or dementia). This intervention is widely disseminated in group settings and may not be accessible or adequate to all people with cognitive impairment. Making a Difference 3 (MD3) is an individual CS program in which family (informal) caregivers play the role of home care partne...
Cognitive stimulation in older adults: an innovative good practice supporting s...
Apóstolo, J.; Bobrowicz-Campos, E.; Gil, I.; Silva, R.; Costa, P.; Couto, F.; Cardoso, D.; Barata, A.; Almeida, M.The project Cognitive Stimulation in Older Adults: Intervention on Cognitive Frailty and Promotion of Self-Care (in brief the ECOG project) arises in a context of worldwide demographic aging, and is fostered by the need to provide a sustainable solution to the progressive increase in the prevalence of age-related cognitive impairment. The main goal of the ECOG project is to promote active citizenship in old age...
Hadronic shower development in Iron-Scintillator Tile Calorimetry
Amaral, P.; Amorim, A.; Anderson, K.; Barreira, G.; Benetta, R.; Berglund, S.; Biscarat, C.; Blanchot, G.; Blucher, E.; Bogush, A.; Bohm, C.The lateral and longitudinal profiles of hadronic showers detected by a prototype of the ATLAS Iron-Scintillator Tile Hadron Calorimeter have been investigated. This calorimeter presents a unique longitudinal configuration of scintillator tiles. Using a fine-grained pion beam scan at 100 GeV, a detailed picture of transverse shower behaviour is obtained. The underlying radial energy densities for the four depth...
