Para compreender as consequências psiquiátricas e psicológicas de uma pandemia, como no caso da COVID-19, alguns grupos são mais vulneráveis, como o grupo dos idosos. A assistência integral ao idoso deve ser pautada em suas necessidades e direitos, com alinhamento preciso visando à prevenção e intervenção precoce, colocando o idoso no centro de práticas específicas na linha de cuidado. O profissional de saúde tem uma atribuição de oferecer um cuidado personalizado com a finalidade de proporcionar um bem-estar.Este estudo, trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura.

Rich Content, whether accessible through Educational TVor globally accessed Mass Media, promotes the quest for Interactive Learning. Either in classic education, special or remote, learners are transformed to two-way users. The complexity of the content, and the type of learning, which are unique for each subject, promote a new educational agenda, with Rich Interactions. Inclusively, these factors require considerable resources to ensure a constant flow of accredited, high-levelinstruction.

Pollutant parameter measurements are constantly carried out at monitoring stations. The object of this work is the time series of the content of particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 10 micrometers in the municipality of Macuco/RJ. The time series has no normality, stationarity, or seasonality. The database was separated into two periods: between January 2015 and December 2019 for training and between January and December 2020 for testing. The ARIMA(1,0,0), ETS(A,N,N) and AR-NN(1,1) models were adjusted.

MEDLINE-PubMed and EMBASE were used to perform the search and PRISMA guidelines were followed. Seven studies were selected and demonstrated significant improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms using prebiotics.

Aluminum nanocomposites demonstrate improvements in mechanical properties, as well as in thermal and electric conductivity. The incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in the aluminum matrix, using conventional melting methods, is a long-standing issue. In this paper, Aluminum nanocomposites were fabricated via conventional casting method, using a nanostructured stainless-steel (SS) powder. Carbon nanotubes were treatedwith hydrogen peroxide, which led toan attachment tothe metal matrix particles.
