Knowledge of caregivers of elderly people about care with injuries caused by Pressure

Introduction: Aging is a biological process in which changes in the morphological and physiological characteristics of the organism occur over time, leading to natural and progressive transformations that especially affect the integumentary tissue of the elderly, as they articulate with the loss of muscle strength, reduction and to reduce the ability of the skin to act against external factors. Objective: to identify the knowledge of elderly caregivers about pressure injuries.

“Immunoglobulin - G subclass pattern among children with down`s syndrome

Down syndrome is the most common and best known chromosomal disorder. The possible relation between DS predisposition to recurrent respiratory infection and IgG subclasses have been infrequently addressed in children. All previous studies showed IgG1 and IgG3 were significantly raised among children with Down's syndrome whereas IgG2 and IgG4 were deficient.

Production of lignocellulosic ethanol from waste paper review on production technology

Waste paper can be found in cities of any country. The possibility of its reuse has moved several researchers to the development of new technologies with the capacity of transforming this waste into economically viable and environmentally sustainable energy that could reduce the use of fossil fuels. The production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass from paper waste has been identified as a promising technology with low processing costs and good yield.

Ergonomic risk assessment in food industry

The objective of this work was to discuss and explain issues related to ergonomic hazards in the food industry. Its development is justified by the high rate of occurrences of accidents at work in the sector. It is common to work in this area to deploy the safety of the product without emphasize the safety inherent in the processing. However, a safe food is the result of a series of steps that begins in the raw material and ends on the supermarket shelves, therefore, it is essential to look into this issue with a peripheral vision.

Brazilian scenery of adobe: analysis about production and research in the period 2008-2018

The use of adobe as an important technique for producing houses goes back to the earliest times and lasts until the present day. In Brazil, the technique was widely used during colonial period, going through several sceneries and tendencies, having its use declined from Industrial Revolution by the offer of new materials more competitive and apparently with more advantage.

Development of software for qualitative and comparative performance analysis between some data ordination algorithms

Ordination can be obtained by common means such as the logical reasoning of a human being, and also by computational means using algorithms to sort the desired data in a predefined order, the present research aims to show the results of the ordering of integers through algorithms, such as Insertionsort, Combsort, Quicksort and Mergesort, through an application developed in the Java programming language, where a performance comparison of each algorithm will be performed, showing not only its performance measured in milliseconds but also aspects fundamental as their operation and the ordering

Abundance and diversity of Niger river rotifers in relation to environmental factors

During two periods 8 months of sampling the community of rotifers was inventoried in relationship with 9 Physico-chemical parameters. The objective of this study was to inventory the specific richness of rotifers of the Niger River in Sotuba and to determine the impact of environmental factors on the composition of Rotiferian fauna. A plankton net Nitex 80 μm mesh and 20 cm of openness has been used, practicing the technique of the horizontal line. It was able to identify 35 species of rotifers grouped in 18 families dominated by the family of Brachionidae with 28.57% of genrus.

Proactive environmental management, in the macro technological and micro technological demands of a company in the south of Ceara – Brazil

This article exposes the dimensions of the term "technology", unfolding in the macro and micro concepts, with its products/processes, and in its technological capability of organization, with a focus on research and development, inserted in the context of companies, it is a case study, where they sought to understand the need to minimize the environmental impact with a proactive management. In this way, while the macro technology is indicative of systemic within the organization, the micro technology covers the technology introduced the products/processes.
