Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy study of Kapton thin foils

Variable energy positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (VE-PALS) experiments on polyimide material Kapton are reported. Thin Kapton foils are widely used in a variety of mechanical, electronic applications. PALS provides a sensitive probe of vacancy-related defects in a wide range of materials, including open volume in polymers. Varying the positron implantation energy enables direct measurement of thin foils. Thin Kapton foils are also commonly used to enclose the positron source material in conventional PALS measurements performed with unmoderated radionuclide sources. The results of depth-profiled positron lifetime measurements on 7.6 μm and 25 μm Kapton foils are reported and determine a dominant 385(1) ps lifetime component. The absence of significant nanosecond lifetime component due to positronium formation is confirmed

A IMPORTÂNCIA DA COMUNICAÇÃO ATLETA-TREINADOR E O PAPEL DO PSICÓLOGO DO ESPORTE

This article presents the work about the development of an intervention proposal for supervised internship in Sports Psychology in the last year of undergraduate psychology. The objective of work is to investigate and intervene on the processes of interpersonal communication between athletes and between athletes and coaches, for the psychologists phenomenon of the dynamics of the sport in question and that can interfere with psychological condition of athletes and thus results in performance and their mental health. Throughdiscussion of a practice coupled with theory, the work illustrates the assessment and intervention in three athletes seeking the best performance from complaints of indiscipline, disinterest and lack of hard in practice appointed by the coach

Consulta puerperal de enfermagem: Perfil das Puérperas frente à prática do aleitamento materno

Trabalho apresentado no 31º SEURS - Seminário de Extensão Universitária da Região Sul, realizado em Florianópolis, SC, no período de 04 a 07 de agosto de 2013 - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.aleitamento materno, educação em saúde, enfermagem Puerperal de Enfermagem. Os dados revelaram que, a 27,75% das mulheres atendidas pertencem à faixa etária ≤ 20 anos, prevalecendo um maior número de mães adolescentes, dentre elas percebe-se que 112 (39,6%) possuíam o Ensino fundamental, 152 (54,09%) possuía Ensino Médio, e 17 (6,05%) o Nível Superior. A realização do pré-natal por todas as puérperas entrevistadas apresenta um aspecto positivo, sendo que 47 (16,73 %) das mulheres realizaram menos que 6 consultas, enquanto que 229 (81,49%) realizaram 6 ou mais consultas e 5 (1,78%) não fizeram o pré-natal. Concluiu-se que, o ato de amamentar está condicionado por diversas questões, tendo forte determinação sócio-cultural, sendo o suporte do pré-natal essencial para o sucesso da amamentação

A study on the VEGFR2-ligand multi-physics interactions in Angiogenesis.

Tumorgrowthissustainedbyangiogenesis,i.e. theformationofnewbloodvesselsfrompre-existing ones. Angiogenesis is modulated by the interaction between tyrosine kinase receptors (TKRs), expressed by endothelial cells (ECs), and extracellular ligands, produced by tumor cells. This interaction triggers the activation of intracellular signaling cascades and kinetic processes, including cell deformationandadhesion,whicheventuallycausecelldivisionandproliferation. VascularEndothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 (VEGFR2) is a pro-angiogenic receptor expressed on ECs. Ligand stimulation induces the polarization of ECs and the relocation of VEGFR2 in cell protrusion or in the basal aspect in cells plated on ligand enriched extracellular matrix (ECM) [1]. EC response to angiogenic growth factors is regulated by distinct sets of inputs conveyed by TRKs and different co-receptors including integrins, membrane proteins that are responsible of stress fibers formation and cell contractility [2]. Although biochemical pathways following VEGFR2 activation are well established, knowledge about the receptor dynamics on the plasma membrane remains limited. A multi-physics model has been developed [3] to describe: i) the diffusion of VEGFR2 on the cellularmembrane;ii)thechemicalkineticsoftheligand-receptorbindingreaction;iii)themechanical adhesion and spreading of the cell onto a ligand-rich extracellular substrate, in finite strain. The identification of the multi-physics interactions that regulate receptor polarization could open new perspectives to develop innovative anti-angiogenic strategies through the modulation of EC activation

Aleitamento materno exclusivo: educação em saúde e práticas de enfermagem pelo Projeto CPP

Anais do 35º Seminário de Extensão Universitária da Região Sul - Área temática: SaúdeO Aleitamento Materno Exclusivo (AME) é uma das principais práticas que promovem a saúde, estando associada à diminuição de doenças e mortalidade na infância, essa prática acarreta benefícios tanto para a mãe quanto para o filho. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar e orientar através da educação em saúde a prática de aleitamento materno das puérperas atendidas pelo Projeto Consulta de Enfermagem, no ano de 2016. Estudo transversal descritivo e retrospectivo, realizado em um Hospital escola, na cidade de Ponta Grossa, com entrevista estruturada de 340 mulheres no pós-parto, em 2016. Resultou que o aleitamento materno, 98% (332,2) das mulheres realizaram amamentação no puerpério mediato após 2 horas do pós-parto, 81% (275) das puérperas obtiveram orientação no decorrer do Pré-Natal, no qual, 80,20% delas participaram de grupos de gestantes conduzidos por enfermeiros. A partir do Projeto Consulta de Enfermagem no Pré-Natal e Pós-parto notou se a importância do profissional enfermeiro no manejo da amamentação. É papel do enfermeiro, realizar atividades de educação em saúde, a fim de ensinar a mãe as práticas corretas, os benefícios da amamentação e evitar o desmame precoc

A protocol for co-creating research project lay summaries with stakeholders:Guideline development for Canada's AGE-WELL Network

Background: Funding bodies increasingly require researchers to write lay summaries to communicate projects’ real-world relevance to the public in an accessible way. However, research proposals and findings are generally not easily readable or understandable by non-specialist readers. Many researchers find writing lay summaries difficult because they typically write for fellow subject specialists or academics rather than the general public or a non-specialist audience. The primary objective of our project is to develop guidelines for researchers in Canada’s AGE-WELL Network of Centres of Excellence, and ultimately various other disciplines, sectors, and institutions, to co-create lay summaries of research projects with stakeholders. To begin, we produced a protocol for co-creating a lay summary based on workshops we organized and facilitated for an AGE-WELL researcher. This paper presents the lay summary co-creation protocol that AGE-WELL researchers will be invited to use.Methods: Eligible participants in this project will be 24 AgeTech project researchers who are funded by the AGE-WELL network in its Core Research Program 2020. If they agree to participate in this project, we will invite them to use our protocol to co-produce a lay summary of their respective projects with stakeholders. The protocol comprises six steps: Investigate principles of writing a good lay summary, identify the target readership, identify stakeholders to collaborate with, recruit the identified stakeholders to work on a lay summary, prepare for workshop sessions, and execute the sessions. To help participants through the process, we will provide them with a guide to developing an accessible, readable research lay summary, help them make decisions, and host, and facilitate if needed, their lay summary co-creation workshops.Discussion: Public-facing research outputs, including lay summaries, are increasingly important knowledge translation strategies to promote the impact of research on real-world issues. To produce lay summaries that include information that will interest a non-specialist readership and that are written in accessible language, stakeholder engagement is key. Furthermore, both researchers and stakeholders benefit by participating in the co-creation process. We hope the protocol helps researchers collaborate with stakeholders effectively to co-produce lay summaries that meet the needs of both the public and project funders
