    Poster apresentado no Annual Meeting 2020, Escola de SaĂșde de Coimbra.The child and the family with special needs and doubts need to be monitored, supervised, given greater attention, to develop skills and abilities, and greater autonomy. The importance of Occupational Therapy (OT) inserted in a team in the context of early intervention in childhood and school is already recognized and studied, but still few, when it is reflected on the intervention in the community. The purpose of the compilation is to reflect on the follow-up practices of OT in the Primary Health Care, in early childhood. The reading of the data reports, in the middle of the hours of an OT in the Primary Health Care, 17 hours. The results are numerical / descriptive, have a non-experimental, retrospective, longitudinal nature, between March 2005 and March 2016. The service does not have a validated information system, the data were taken from excel sheets. A total of 253 different children / young people, with at least 1 h or more of care, between 0 months and 18 years, 74.3% between 1 month and 6 years of age and 25.7% among the 7 and 12 years old included, 58.1% of the male gender and 41.9% of the female gender. Requests came from the community, with the family also signaling. The children were mostly referred at early ages, due to Communication and Relationship Disturbance, and difficulties in Social Interaction with no known etiology. It indispensable the OT follow up in the Primary Health Care. In the community, is a great necessity to families and children.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

    Poster apresentado no Annual Meeting 2020, Escola de SaĂșde de Coimbra.A newborn born less than 37 weeks gestational is considered a preterm newborn. In this sense, the occupational therapist who exhibits a holistic view about it, intends to enhance their occupational performance and improve their quality of life. To describe the performance of Occupational Therapy (OT) with the preterm newborn in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), responding to the scarcity of information on the subject at the national level, and the need for occupational therapists in this context.The study uses as a method of data collection a semi-structured interview conducted to an occupational therapist that participates in a NICU in mainland Portugal and as a method of data analysis WebQDA software. It has a qualitative approach, it is a descriptive and exploratory study, taking into account the general objective, and it is assumed as a case study, by the technical procedures used. When identifying and analyzing the information related to the research question, we can affirm that during the interview the occupational therapist emphasized the intervention of OT in Sensory Modulation and Guidance to Caregivers of the Preterm Newborn.In order to optimize the whole intervention, and as a main conclusion, the importance of the caregivers participation in the OT intervention process is emphasized, which is done under the guidance of the therapist, making the approach of this professional indirect.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

    Standalone vertex ïŹnding in the ATLAS muon spectrometer

    A dedicated reconstruction algorithm to find decay vertices in the ATLAS muon spectrometer is presented. The algorithm searches the region just upstream of or inside the muon spectrometer volume for multi-particle vertices that originate from the decay of particles with long decay paths. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using both a sample of simulated Higgs boson events, in which the Higgs boson decays to long-lived neutral particles that in turn decay to bbar b final states, and pp collision data at √s = 7 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC during 2011

    Measurements of Higgs boson production and couplings in diboson final states with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

    Get PDF
    Measurements are presented of production properties and couplings of the recently discovered Higgs boson using the decays into boson pairs, H →γ Îł, H → Z Z∗ →4l and H →W W∗ →lÎœlÎœ. The results are based on the complete pp collision data sample recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider at centre-of-mass energies of √s = 7 TeV and √s = 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 25 fb−1. Evidence for Higgs boson production through vector-boson fusion is reported. Results of combined ïŹts probing Higgs boson couplings to fermions and bosons, as well as anomalous contributions to loop-induced production and decay modes, are presented. All measurements are consistent with expectations for the Standard Model Higgs boson

    Measurement of the top quark-pair production cross section with ATLAS in pp collisions at \sqrt{s}=7\TeV

    A measurement of the production cross-section for top quark pairs(\ttbar) in pppp collisions at \sqrt{s}=7 \TeV is presented using data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events are selected in two different topologies: single lepton (electron ee or muon Ό\mu) with large missing transverse energy and at least four jets, and dilepton (eeee, ΌΌ\mu\mu or eΌe\mu) with large missing transverse energy and at least two jets. In a data sample of 2.9 pb-1, 37 candidate events are observed in the single-lepton topology and 9 events in the dilepton topology. The corresponding expected backgrounds from non-\ttbar Standard Model processes are estimated using data-driven methods and determined to be 12.2±3.912.2 \pm 3.9 events and 2.5±0.62.5 \pm 0.6 events, respectively. The kinematic properties of the selected events are consistent with SM \ttbar production. The inclusive top quark pair production cross-section is measured to be \sigmattbar=145 \pm 31 ^{+42}_{-27} pb where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The measurement agrees with perturbative QCD calculations.Comment: 30 pages plus author list (50 pages total), 9 figures, 11 tables, CERN-PH number and final journal adde

    Measurement of the top quark pair cross section with ATLAS in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV using final states with an electron or a muon and a hadronically decaying τ lepton

    Get PDF
    A measurement of the cross section of top quark pair production in proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is reported. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.05 fb -1. Events with an isolated electron or muon and a τ lepton decaying hadronically are used. In addition, a large missing transverse momentum and two or more energetic jets are required. At least one of the jets must be identified as originating from a b quark. The measured cross section, σtt-=186±13(stat.)±20(syst.)±7(lumi.) pb, is in good agreement with the Standard Model prediction

The physics potential for a variety of interesting physics processes, within the Standard Model and beyond, is examined. The study comprises a series of notes based on simulations of the detector and physics processes, with particular emphasis given to the data expected from the first years of operation of the LHC at CERN

    Hunt for new phenomena using large jet multiplicities and missing transverse momentum with ATLAS in 4.7 fb−1 of √s=7 TeV proton-proton collisions

    Get PDF
    Results are presented of a search for new particles decaying to large numbers of jets in association with missing transverse momentum, using 4.7 fb−1 of pp collision data at s√=7TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in 2011. The event selection requires missing transverse momentum, no isolated electrons or muons, and from ≄6 to ≄9 jets. No evidence is found for physics beyond the Standard Model. The results are interpreted in the context of a MSUGRA/CMSSM supersymmetric model, where, for large universal scalar mass m 0, gluino masses smaller than 840 GeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level, extending previously published limits. Within a simplified model containing only a gluino octet and a neutralino, gluino masses smaller than 870 GeV are similarly excluded for neutralino masses below 100 GeV
