Efeitos da musicoterapia em neonatos submetidos à cirurgia de cardiopatias congênitas

Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da musicoterapia neonatal na redução do tempo de internação pós operatório em crianças acometidas por cirurgias de cardiopatias congênitas, além de sua possível influência na diminuição da dor e no controle dos sinais vitais. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática buscando-se artigos, nas bases de dados CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, Pubmed (Medline) e Scielo, relacionados aos efeitos da musicoterapia em neonatos submetidos à cirurgia de cardiopatias congênitas. Para a busca foi considerada publicações até o referido ano (2022).

Origin, domestication, taxonomy, botanical description, genetics and cytogenetics, genetc diversity and breeding of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.)

Cashew belongs to the family Anacardiaceae, the genus Anacardium and species A. occidentale. Cashew is considered native of tropical America, not-withstanding the uncertainty in defining its natural distribu-tion, due to its long association with man. It was suggested that it originated in the restinga, meaning the low vegetation found in the sandy soil along the coast of Eastern and Northeastern Brazil. Anacardiaceae is a moderately large family consisting of Ca 74 genera and 600 species.

Application of bim and augmented reality in a hydropower plant modernization

This paper presents results of case study São SimãoHydropower Plant, the development and testing of an application that applies augmented reality to display BIM information over the real infrastructure of hydropower plant existing areas. The application aims to assist users in identifying interferences between future AEC projects and current electrical, mechanical and civil infrastructure.

Robust control of aircrafts using linear matrix inequalities

This article presents a new method for robust control of aircraft dynamic models using linear matrix inequalities and pole placement. The models are written in the form of polytopes, that describes the dynamic system linearized around some operating point. By using ljnear matrix inequalities, different control requisites, such as pole placement at different regions of the complex plane and norm minimization, can be grouped in one structure.

Origin, Distribution, Taxonomy, Botanical description, Genetic diversity and Breeding of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Family: Solanaceae, Sub-Family: Soloanoideae & Cestroideae, Tribe: Solaneae, Genera: Solanum, Species: Solanum lycopersicum L. Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and eggplants all belong to the Solanaceae family of flowering plants. Plants in this family are also called nightshades. There are more than 3000 species of nightshades. Many of them are important to our economy. The Solanum lycopersicum / S. esculentum-complex contains seven species that are easily crossed with cultivated tomato and these have served as a source of genetic variability for the improvement of tomato varieties.

Lithofacies and paleoenvironments of cored deposits of the albian reservoirs in the abidjan margin (offshore of Côte D’Ivoire Basin)

Sedimentary reservoirs describe facies that characterise architectural segments of the basin. For example, channels and alluvial fans are the main silicoclastic depositional environments. Thus to some extent these sites have hydrocarbon potential. The analysis of the hydrodynamic mechanisms behind their emplacement and their potential was carried out using oil drill cores. They were exhumed between 6500 and 10000 feet, i.e. between 1981 and 3048 m deep in the Abidjan Margin, Gulf of Guinea province in Côte d'Ivoire. The facies is based on lithological, ichnological and mechanical criteria.

Effectiveness of dual situated learning model on achievement in chemistry among secondary school students

One learning model that fits the conceptual change approach is the dual situated learning model, which benefits students due to its integration of three philosophical perspectives: epistemological, ontological, and motivational. This study aims to determine the impact of dual situated learning on secondary school students' performance in chemistry. A quasi-experimental approach was used, with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent group design. The study sample included 60 secondary school students from the Kannur area.

A rare case report of a large multi nodular goitre presenting as thyroid abscess after fine needle aspiration cytology

Introduction: Thyroid abscess is a rarely encountered clinical entity since thyroid gland is generallythought to be resistant to most infections. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) can bean iatrogenic route for infection. Case report: A 47 year old immunocompetent female with large multinodular goiter since 20 years who developed sudden increase in swelling size associated with pain and swallowing difficulty. History revealed that acute symptoms started after FNAC. This case report emphasizes on the fact of adopting aseptic precautions even for minimally invasive procedures.
