Healthcare professionals perception of telehealth use in primary and specialty care settings

The advent of the Covid-19 pandemic at the onset of 2020 fundamentally altered and disrupted the health care industry. One key aspect of this disruption was the exponential use of telehealth. This explosion of telehealth use came mostly out of necessity. Therefore, it involves a lot of trial and error, so pinning down an optimal approach for using it during the pandemic and beyond becomes crucial. In this paper, critical aspects of telehealth via a practitioner survey are explored. The in-depth analysis of the data proceeded by using descriptive statistics and a data mining approach. The material synthesis concludes that understanding the concept of provider connectedness may be the key to better care coordination within and among large health systems for varying degrees of case complexity and case sharing. Also, that provider setting is likely the most important driving factor in any future optimization of telehealth

Tendencias de la distribución de nutrientes en Sarcocornia fruticosa bajo un gradiente salino

Soil salinity, one of the major abiotic stresses reducing agricultural productivity, affects large terrestrial areas of the world; the need to produce salt-tolerant crops is evident. Most crops in agricultural production are sensitive to salt stress. Consequently, salinity is an ever-present threat to agriculture, especially in areas where secondary salinisation has developed through irrigation or deforestation. In turn, the research on salt-tolerant plants (known as halophytes plants) may provide the solution to this problem. Halophytes have evolved to grow in saline soils, developing a wide range of adaptations. In the present work we study the behavior of Sarcocornia fruticosa under salt stress. Two trials have carried out: Trial 1 with 2 saline treatments (3,51 and 58 mM NaCl) and trial 2 with three treatments (100 mM, 200 mM and 300 mM NaCl). The results indicate that S. fruticosa is capable of tolerating very high and continued exposure to salt, levels of 300 mM of NaCl presents similar biomass related 100 mM of NaCl. Neverhteless, the branches died increase significantly under high level of salinity

Simulation of an electrolytic bath for electrodeposition of multilayer shielding coatings

In this the calculation work galvanic bath of Cu/(Ni+Cu) multilayer shielding coatings formation from an acetate electrolyte containing 0,03 mol/L of CuAc2, 0,3 mol/L of NiAc2 and 1,66 mol/L of acetic acid were made. According to the results of polarization studies values of coatings deposition pulse mode current density have been chosen and current efficiency of copper and nickel during deposition of Cu-Ni alloy has been determined. To ensure a constant formulation of the electrolyte it has been proposed to use insoluble anodes made of stainless steel and continuous circulation of the electrolyte. The scheme of steams enabling the adjustment of the solution formulation with the use of an additional collecting vessel has been developed. The formulation of the correcting stream continuously fed into the collecting vessel has been calculated
