Dissemination of Evidence by Cochrane Public Health Europe in German-Speaking Countries: An Online Stakeholder Survey

Objectives: To investigate the reach and impact of “Infomails”, email summaries of Cochrane reviews in German, regularly disseminated by Cochrane Public Health Europe (CPHE) to stakeholders in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Methods: We analysed email campaign reports from 15 Infomails delivered until November 2020. Furthermore, we invited all previous Infomail recipients to participate in an online survey on the impact and perceptions regarding our Infomails in November 2020. We analysed the results using descriptive statistics. Results: The Infomails’ open rate ranged from 10.9% to 39.3% (median 26.0%), and the median click rate on the embedded links was 28.0% (range 8.6–53.8%), highest for nutrition and prevention topics. Out of 1259 recipients, 267 (21.2%) completed our survey. Infomails were most used in discussions, writing reports or statements, for policy or strategy development or programme or guideline development. Persons who remembered receiving Infomails rated them as useful, comprehensible or informative. Conclusion: Infomails summarising recent Cochrane reviews were considered useful for the daily work of public health stakeholders in German-speaking countries. Regular targeted messaging may increase the perceived usefulness

Modificación de la respuesta fotocatalítica y bactericida de recubrimientos PVD de óxido de titanio mediante tratamientos de implantación iónica de nitrógeno por inmersión en plasma (PIII)

El trabajo de tesis realizado tiene por objetivo profundizar en el conocimiento de las propiedades funcionales de los recubrimientos PVD de dióxido de titanio y específicamente en tratar de ampliar su respuesta fotocatalítica hacia mayores longitudes de onda, llegando hasta el espectro visible. Concretamente se ha trabajado en la deposición de recubrimientos de óxido de titanio (Ti02) mediante deposición física en fase vapor (PVD) - arco eléctrico para, a continuación, modificar su microestructura mediante procesos de implantación iónica que se desarrollarán por inmersión en plasma de nitrógeno, de forma que se logre una superficie fotocatalíticamente activa en condiciones de exposición a la luz visible, en lugar de solamente a la luz ultravioleta. Los nuevos recubrimientos han sido caracterizados mediante técnicas de microscopía electrónica, espectroscopía óptica de descarga luminiscente, difracción de rayos X, espectroscopía de de fotoelectrones y absorbancia en el ultravioleta y en el visible. La validación de la ampliación de la respuesta fotocatalítica en el visible se ha llevado a cabo mediante la realización de ensayos de degradación de colorantes (azul de metileno) y también mediante ensayos de eficacia antibacteriana.Programa Oficial de Doctorado en Ingeniería de Materiales y Fabricación (RD 1393/2007)Materialen eta Fabrikazioaren Ingeniaritzako Doktoretza Programa Ofiziala (ED 1393/2007
