Introduction: The success of air travels depends on air traffic controllers (ATC). ATCs are responsible for monitoring airspace, keeping the flow of air traffic safe, providing route information, and support for pilots during flight. All these responsibilities can cause an increase in the chance of developing physical and mental stress. Objective: the objective of this study was to carry out a systematic review about psychological and physiological stress in ATCs. Method: This article is a systematic review about stress in ATCs.

The sharing of knowledge is considered a complex phenomenon and recognized as the most important process in the knowledge conversion spiral. Thus, the purpose of this article is to understand the sharing of knowledge in a radiotherapy organization. For this, a qualitative research was carried out through semi-structured interviews with professionals of the multidisciplinary team of a radiotherapy service in Santa Catarina. Data collection took place between February and April 2018. Six professionals participated in the study. To analyze the data, the technique of content analysis was used.

Background and Study Aims: Peritoneal biopsy remains the best diagnostic method for peritoneal tuberculosis in developing countries including Morocco, with significant morbidity and mortality. Hence the need to establish a non invasive diagnostic score of peritoneal tuberculosis from biochemical parameters measured in the ascites fluids. Patients and Methods: Prospective mono-centric study over a period of 4 years, including patients with isolated ascites, and those with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Malaysia is a middle-income country that developed in the 1970s, has become a supplier of raw materials in emerging economy. The economic growth of the country was mainly due to exports that include mainly electronics. Therefore, the country was hit by the global recession from 2001 to 2002. Moreover, the GDP of Malaysia grew by only 0.5% in 2001, due to a decline in estimated exports at 11%. However, as the substantial financial incentive of $ 1.9 billion minimized recession impact on the economy and the economy resumed in 2002 that was growing by 4.1%.

Malnutrition has been defined as a pathological condition resulting from a relative or absolute deficiency or excess of one or more nutrients. Malnutrition continues to be a growing problem in most developing countries. It comprises of four forms – under-nutrition, over-nutrition, imbalance and specific deficiency. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of malnutrition among children. To assess factors contributing to malnutrition among children. To find out association of prevalence of malnutrition with factors contributing to malnutrition.

Nowadays there has been a significant increase in the use of Information Technologies (IT) in education, especially in distance education (DE), in which the use of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) is very common. However, in such environments it is difficult the teacher to observe the state of attention as well as the satisfaction of an apprentice with respect to the content presented to him, unlike what occurs in face-to-face teaching.In view of this, many researchers have invested in the development ofintelligent technologies that can help in this task.

The industrial revolution led to profound modifications in the lifestyle and increased the percentages of obesity, insulin resistance/Diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension that augment the risk of developing Cardiovascular Diseases (CD). Solanummelongena (eggplant) is popularly much used with the purpose of reducing lipid levels. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the eggplant on the metabolic profile of Wistar rats. The animals were treated with eggplant floor mixed with the commercial rat chow for 45 days.

Occur worldwide annually 372,000 deaths can be prevented, which may be considered as one of the diseases with the greatest impact, both in health and in the world economy. However, it is estimated that the possibility of death by drowning while on a beach protected by lifeguard is 1 in 18 million, thus making the location of the rescue stations an important point connected to response-time.

Constipation may be considered a public health problem leading to harmful interference on the quality of life. Its prevalence varies from 0.7% to 81% worldwide and may affect adults and children. It is usually treated with laxative drugs. Joannesia princeps is a plant used in popular medicine as a laxative. This work aims to evaluate the potential of J. princeps in reversing the constipation effects produced by loperamide. Animals were divided in Group 1 (Control group that received propylene glycol), Group 2 (treated with J.

This research proposes to design a kernel within a Gaussian process for finding and learning patterns from data attributes that fit the structure of time series data. No external variables needed. In Gaussian processes, researchers do not need to modify the algorithm's layout at all when the function of the problem converts. So what to do just to modify the function or kernel function to suit the problem. The kernel functions in each of the Gaussian process types affect the different models of time-varying functions.
