Introduction Healthcare-related infections are considered a public health problem worldwide, as they cause suffering for the patient and his / her family and raise morbidity and mortality rates, hospital stay time and treatment costs. Materials and methods: An exploratory-descriptive study, with a qualitative approach of the type of experience report, performed at the Maternity service of a teaching hospital, in the period of March, 2018.

Objective: To identify the spatial distribution of the number of cases of elderly women with cervical cancer in the city of. Using the variables income and schooling of the last census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Methods: The population was composed of 238 elderly women, using the Health Information System of the Hospital Registry of Cancer (SIS-RHC) of the Aldenora Bello Cancer Hospital.

Pressure Injury (LPP) is an injury caused by prolonged pressure or stress combined with friction and shear. This complication affects approximately 29.5% of hospitalized patients, with chronic, cardiac or neurological comorbidities. Objective was to synthesize the scientific production of nursing on the prevention of pressure injury to hospitalized patients. The present research is an integrative review of the literature indexed in two ScieLO databases and MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System online).

Being able to accurately predict point or a real precipitation data at unsampled locations or areas using measured precipitation data is important in the work of agriculturists, hydrologists, climatologists, engineers, and others. Precipitation phenomenon is a complicated process due to the spatial variability, uncertainty, and complexity of the meteorological processes underlying its formation.

Due to the need of companies to reduce expenses and increase productivity, the study is based on analyzing the effectiveness of the use of filter pumps to improve the useful life of parts, components and hydraulic fluids of application in industrial slip pumps. Samples of the hydraulic oil used in the process were collected, studied and analyzed in order to demonstrate the cost benefit of the application of filter pumps.

It is always speculated about the expanding of the universe because of the observable red shift. On the other hand no paper deals with the missing blue shift as a consequence of the contracting Milky Way. What is explained with the law of the inverse square of the distance, that also applies to the charge radius of atomic nuclei in the microcosm. The shrinking proton has already been reported, in 2014 for the first time in Germany (1). The scientific community was at a loss, because until then elementary particles, such as the proton in size, were handled as a constant in nature.

Welding is a governing process in realization of aerospace pressure vessels. In defence and aerospace industry, ultrahigh strength materials viz maragingsteel is being used for realization to meet the mission requirements. The fracture based design is adopted for pressure vessels. The quality of welding is ensured by qualifying the welding process, through procedure qualification, use of qualified welders and Non-destructive testing. Weld joints are inspected using Non destructive testing such as Radiography testing, Ultrasonic testing, Die penetrant testing etc.

Importance: The Maria da Penha Law (Federal Law 11340/2006) is an important legal instrument which institutionalized the issue of domestic and family violence against women in Brazil, conceptualizing and giving visibility to the hidden violence within the family environment, and acknowledged the responsibility of all people, and mainly the State’s, in guaranteeing and protecting women rights, with the creation of mechanisms to restrain and prevent all forms of violence against them.

The volume of weld bead deposit on a welded joint, has a lot to say about the integrity of the weldment during its service life.Residual stresses, cracks etc can be greatly initiated with large weld bead. In this study, central composite design matrix was employed using Design Expert 7.01 software. A total of 20 sets of experiments were produced, the weld specimen was mild steel plate measuring 60mm x 40mm x 10mm.

The project is based on the recycling of the rapidly increasing construction and demolition waste. Through this process we want to take a step ahead, the idea of stopping illegal sand mining, earth excavation and ultimately save our mother Earth from destruction. The cost of recycled sand and aggregates is lower than conventional aggregates and sand, resulting in reduction of overall construction cost.
