Intensive care units admissions for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and the puerperium: an epidemiological analysis in pernambuco for a period of one decade

Introduction: Hypertensive disease of pregnancy represents the most common complication during pregnancy, presenting significant risks to maternal and fetal health. This condition is characterized by clinical and laboratory impairment, with elevated blood pressure levels that can range from mild to severe. Objective: To analyze the prevalence of epidemiological aspects and the main causes of ICU admission due to the treatment of proteinuria and hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period in Pernambuco.

Águas da Amazônia: Biodiversidade, Comunidades locais e a Importância da lei das águas para a Sustentabilidade

A Amazônia possui uma das maiores bacias hidrográficas do mundo, essencial para a biodiversidade e para as populações locais. A gestão sustentável desses recursos envolve regulamentações que garantam o uso racional da água, proteção dos cursos d'água contra poluição e a preservação dos ecossistemas aquáticos. Diante das crescentes pressões sobre os recursos naturais da Amazônia, a gestão e a conservação dos recursos hídricos emergem como questões centrais para assegurar a sustentabilidade ambiental e o bem-estar das populações da região.

Preparation and Characterization of Celecoxib Matrix Transdermal Patches

Transdermal Drug Delivery systems represent a category of topical, self-contained discrete dosage forms designed to deliver drugs at a controlled rate to the systemic circulation when applied to intact skin. This research reports the successful preparation of a Celecoxib transdermal patch using the solvent casting technique. Various plasticizers, including PEG, glycerol, and oleic acid, were employed in combination with different solvent ratios. The formulation incorporated polymers such as methylcellulose, guar gum, HPMC, and ERS 100.

Bioethanol Production from Agro-Industrial Residues by Exploiting Cellulolytic Bacteria: An Evaluation

The development of biofuels from sustainable feedstocks has garnered significant scientific attention due to their potential to provide energy and alternative fuels. Cellulosic feedstock has gained attention as an attractive option for bioethanol production due to its greater ability to substitute fossil fuels and its relatively lower cost as a feedstock. With the help of a cellulolytic enzyme system, cellulose can be altered to glucose which is a multi-valued product, in a considerably economical and biologically favourable process.

Professional Standards for 21st Century Teachers

Professional standards and professionalism today is a much talked about word in education, as compared to professionalization and profession, professionalism as a concept is a recent phenomenon. But since it is linked to the concept of profession and professionalization, it will be useful to understand first the concepts of profession and professionalization, professionalism and how it is to be acquired should be a focus of every teacher education program.

Seismic response spectrum analysis (Zone V) of a g+10 steel Framed Structure using Different Grades of Steel

Seismic Response Spectrum Analysis (SRSA) is a critical component in assessing the seismic performance of structures, especially in earthquake-prone regions. This project report presents a comprehensive analysis of a G+10 steel-framed structure using the widely utilized structural analysis software, ETABS. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the structural response to seismic loading and provide insights into the dynamic behaviour of the building for Earthquake Zone 5.

Perfil epidemiológico das internações e óbitos por sindromes hipertensivas da gestação no estado do amapá no ano de 2018 a 2022

Hypertensive Syndromes of Pregnancy (SHG) are one of the complications of pregnancy that are among the main causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is the first cause of maternal death in Brazil and the third in the world. It affects about 10% of pregnancies, being the most diagnosed disorder during pregnancy and the largest cause of prematurity in Brazil. It can lead to limitations in maternal health and serious consequences for the fetus and newborn.

Influence of Automotive Pre-painting Temperature on the Bake Hardenig (BH) Effect in hot Stamped Parts

Management High-strength steels recently used to obtain parts for the automotive industry, with multiphase microstructures, have interesting bake-hardening (BH) properties. The aim of this research work is to pre-deform and quantify the effect of BH on 22MnB5 steels, during the pre-painting phase, obtained by hot stamping. Different temperatures, 180 °C and 200 °C, and different times, from 15 to 40 minutes, were used as heat treatments to simulate the effect on hot stamped material at a temperature of 900 °C.

Action and Impact-Oriented research in management education for Innovation and sustainability: Bridging the gap between theory and practice

Management education faces the challenge of preparing future leaders to address the pressing issues of innovation and sustainability. Action-oriented research (AOR) has emerged as a powerful approach to bridge the gap between theory and practice in management education, enabling students to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to effect positive change in organizations and society. This paper explores the significance of AOR in management education, highlighting its potential to generate actionable insights and transform management practices.
