Influence of constructive profiles on the generation of construction waste in construction in the Northeast

The construction sector is one of the main modifiers of the environment, since in its activities there is, essentially, the exploitation of natural resources, generating a large amount of waste. The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of management parameters (term, contracting and costs) and constructive parameters (building standard, type of foundation and type of masonry) in the generation of construction waste. The methodology consisted of the following steps: definition of the parameters to be analyzed for the generation of waste in 15 works; data collection and processing and, finally, data dispersion analysis through the boxplot. The class was predominant A waste, 89.2% of the total generated; among class B waste, gypsum is more prominent, with 55% of the waste generated; in class C the mixed materials are predominant, with 64%. Regarding the analyzed parameters, the ones that contributed the most to the generation of civil construction waste (CCW) were: high work pattern (48%); incorporation hiring regime (58%); intermediate execution time between 36 and 45 months (49%); the foundation of the shoe type (36%); sealing masonry with ceramic blocks in the peripheries and gypsum blocks internally (58%)

Robust estimation of bacterial cell count from optical density

Optical density (OD) is widely used to estimate the density of cells in liquid culture, but cannot be compared between instruments without a standardized calibration protocol and is challenging to relate to actual cell count. We address this with an interlaboratory study comparing three simple, low-cost, and highly accessible OD calibration protocols across 244 laboratories, applied to eight strains of constitutive GFP-expressing E. coli. Based on our results, we recommend calibrating OD to estimated cell count using serial dilution of silica microspheres, which produces highly precise calibration (95.5% of residuals <1.2-fold), is easily assessed for quality control, also assesses instrument effective linear range, and can be combined with fluorescence calibration to obtain units of Molecules of Equivalent Fluorescein (MEFL) per cell, allowing direct comparison and data fusion with flow cytometry measurements: in our study, fluorescence per cell measurements showed only a 1.07-fold mean difference between plate reader and flow cytometry data

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

The Southern Lusitanian rivers as channels for the distribution of imported ceramics

Apresentam-se alguns exemplos de como os rios da Lusitânia Meridional constituíram meios de difusão de cerâmi-cas importadas. Os principais rios da Lusitânia Meridional têm centros urbanos na foz e nos fundos de estuário, que constituíam lugares de recepção e redistribuição de cerâmicas importadas, em estreita relação. Apresentam-se alguns exemplos: Anas (Guadiana), com a interacção de Baesuris (Castro Marim) e Myrtilis (Mértola); Callipus (Sado), com a interacção Caeto-briga / Tróia e Salacia (Alcácer do Sal); Tagus (Tejo), com a interacção Olisipo (Lisboa) e Scallabis (Santarém). Mesmo em outros rios de menor expressão essa difusão para o interior é notória, como nos casos dos rios Arade ou Mira. Estes grandes rios geraram verdadeiras economias de estuário, com múltiplos pontos de povoamento interactivos. A recepção e difusão das cerâmicas pode perceber-se pela presença das cerâmicas nos portos e nos aglomerados de interior, alcançáveis por rios nave-gáveis. Estes lugares foram, por seu turno, centros redistribuidores para mais vastos territórios interiores.Se presentan algunos ejemplos de cómo los ríos del sur de Lusitania fueron medios de difusión de la cerámica im-portada.

Estos grandes ríos generaron verdaderas economías de estuario, con múltiples puntos de asentamiento interactivos. La recep-ción y difusión de la cerámica se manifiesta en la presencia de cerámica en los puertos y asentamientos del interior a los que llegaban los ríos navegables. Estos lugares eran, a su vez, centros de redistribución para territorios interiores más amplios.Some examples are presented of how the rivers of Southern Lusitania were means of distribution of imported cera-mics. The main rivers of Southern Lusitania have urban centres at their mouths and estuary bottoms, which were places of re-ception and redistribution of imported ceramics, in close relationship. Some examples are presented: Anas (Guadiana), with the interaction of Baesuris (Castro Marim) and Myrtilis (Mértola); Callipus (Sado), with the interaction Caetobriga/Tróia and Salacia (Alcácer do Sal); Tagus (Tejo), with the interaction Olisipo (Lisbon) and Scallabis (Santarém). Even in smaller rivers, this diffu-sion towards the interior is notorious, as in the cases of the Arade or Mira rivers. These large rivers generated estuary econo-mies, with multiple interactive settlement points. The reception and diffusion of ceramics can be seen in its presence in harbours and inland settlements reached by navigable rivers. These places were, in turn, redistribution centres for wider inland territories.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
