q-Deformed Brownian Motion
Brownian motion may be embedded in the Fock space of bosonic free field in
one dimension.Extending this correspondence to a family of creation and
annihilation operators satisfying a q-deformed algebra, the notion of
q-deformation is carried from the algebra to the domain of stochastic
processes.The properties of q-deformed Brownian motion, in particular its
non-Gaussian nature and cumulant structure,are established.Comment: 6 page
A New Approach to Canonical Quantization of the Radiation Damping
Inspired in some works about quantization of dissipative systems, in
particular of the damped harmonic oscillator\cite{MB,RB,12}, we consider the
dissipative system of a charge interacting with its own radiation, which
originates the radiation damping (RD). Using the indirect Lagrangian
representation we obtained a Lagrangian formalism with a Chern-Simons-like
term. A Hamiltonian analysis is also done, what leads to the quantization of
the system.Comment: 5 page
Supersymmetrization of the Radiation Damping
We construct a supersymmetrized version of the model to the radiation damping
\cite{03} introduced by the present authors \cite{ACWF}. We dicuss its
symmetries and the corresponding conserved Noether charges. It is shown this
supersymmetric version provides a supersymmetric generalization of the Galilei
algebra obtained in \cite{ACWF}. We have shown that the supersymmetric action
can be splited into dynamically independent external and internal sectors.Comment: 9 page
The impact of home care nursing in puerpera dificulties
BACKGROUND: The birth of the first child forwards the new mother to an individual, family
and social reset in order to deal with self-caring and parenting skills. Many women in postpartum
period report having to deal often with new doubts and/or problems.
OBJECTIVE: Identify the main difficulties reported by mothers during puerperium time.
Compare those mentioned difficulties, between control group and study group.
METHODS: Quasi-experimental design - Control group and study group with 200 primiparous
women (100 women in each group). Participants in the study group were submited to at least
two home visits during the postpartum period.
RESULTS: Chi-square test revealed statistically significant differences between groups, for
participants who did not report difficulties (p=0.021). A larger number of mothers in the
experimental group did not mention difficulties (38%), compared to those belonging to the
control group (23%). The three main difficulties were found:
Understanding child's cry - 53% in the control group and 45% in study group; Child feeding -
29% in the control group and 21% in study group; “Psychological changes” are referred by both
groups in thirdly. Chi-square test shows differences between groups in this variable (p=0.037)
- Control group 27% and study group 15%.
CONCLUSIONS: This investigation demonstrated the relationship between home visit and
expressed difficulties: a higher number of participants followed during puerperium did not
mention difficulties.
For those who mentioned difficulties also the groups show different regarding the difficulty in
dealing with the psychological changes. More mothers from control group mentioned this
problem
