O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar o perfil dos atendimentos relacionados a violência em idosos na rede do Sistema único de Saúde. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo exploratório com abordagem quantitativa que utilizou dados secundários registrados no Sistema Nacional de Agravos de Notificação-SINAN/ Sistema de Vigilância de Violências e Acidentes – VIVA no período de 2012 a 2016. Foram utilizadas todas as notificações de violência ao idoso no SINAN ocorridas no período de 2012 a 2016. A análise dos dados ocorreu de forma descritiva e inferencial.

Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy is the occurrence of heart failure of the left ventricle in women between the last month of pregnancy and the fifth month of the puerperium. The diagnosis is based on clinical and echocardiographic criteria imposed by National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, but it is little emphasized and not screened in primary care. This article seeks to understand how the diagnosis is performed and what the risk factors associate with peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Introdução: O envelhecimento constitui um conjunto de múltiplos fatores com processos multidirecionais.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate conflict management practices and the main causes of conflict in the university administration in Ghana.

A silica-rich geomaterial of a mining tail was prepared and tested as a heterogeneous catalyst in the transesterification reaction in soybean oil to produce the corresponding fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel). The dry raw geomaterial was characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and 57Fe-Mössbauer spectroscopy. The raw mineral sample was then dispersed in aqueous solution containing 35 g KI 100 mL-1 to form the chemically active solid catalyst.

Citta is one of the four ultimate realities (paramaṭṭha), Citta is translated as consciousness, in Abhidhamma, consciousness (citta) is the pure awareness of the object.

The continuous growth of the population and industrial has provided an increase in the environmental impact and human health, due to the greater quantities of waste generated, mainly by the presence of organic toxic compounds, such as the dyes. Then, the work aims to evaluate the applicability of heterogeneous photocatalysis in the degradation of the rhodamine B dye, such as a target molecule, using the commercial titanium dioxide catalyst, under ultraviolet and visible radiation.

Assistive technology is an interdisciplinary area contemplated by health, engineering and computer science, aiming to generate means that allow social insertion and improvement of the quality of life of people with disabilities. Disability can be defined as any loss or abnormality of a structure or psychological, physiological or anatomical function that generates inability to perform activity, within the standard considered normal for humans.

The objective of this research was to analyze interdisciplinary teaching / learning strategies from the socio environmental perspective in the technical course in Legal Services of the Federal Institute of the State of Piauí, Brazil.
