Objetivo: Identificar os pontos fortes e limitações quanto ao uso do WhatsApp®em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Cardiológica e compreender o uso na comunicação interprofissional. Método: Estudo exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa, realizado em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Cardiológica de um hospital de grande porte, privado que atende pacientes conveniados ao SUS, convênios e particular no interior de Minas Gerais. A população foi composta por enfermeiros, farmacêuticos, fisioterapeutas, médicos, nutricionistas e técnicos de enfermagem.

Significant challenges are presented by global warming, which is caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and other pollutants. As global temperatures rise, finding sustainable cooling solutions becomes crucial. Solar evaporative cooling systems offer a promising alternative. These systems utilize renewable solar energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and consume significantly less electricity compared to traditional vapor compression refrigeration-based air conditioners (VCRC).

Introduction: While the effectiveness of treating severe and moderate acute malnutrition in children is well-documented, there is limited data on the long- and medium-term functional impact of Community Animation Cells (CACs) on improving the nutritional status of children under five through community-based management in Bunyakiri Health Zone. Methodology: This quasi-experimental study involved a baseline phase, intervention phase, and final phase. It included 140 households each in control and intervention zones and 60 CAC members (30 from each zone).

In Ethiopia, field pea (Pisumsativum L.) is the major source of protein for resource poor farmers. The development of varieties for yield and disease resistance is one of the important activities to support farmers and improve the productivity of the crop. Forty-nine field pea genotypes were evaluated in simple lattice design at Asasa in 2019 cropping season.

The aim of the study was to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drug lercanidipine by solid dispersion technique. Solid dispersion of lercanidipine was prepared by solvent evaporation and kneading technique by using polymer PVP K30 in 1:1, 1:3, 1:5 drug: polymer ratio respectively. Drug excipient compatibility study indicates that there is no interaction between the excipient and the drug. Total six batches were prepared and subjected to evaluation parameters.

Pipeline steels play a critical role in applications such as oil and gas transmission, offshore drilling, and pressure vessels. To enhance their mechanical properties and provide better atmospheric corrosion protection, various heat treatment procedures are employed. In this study, we focus on X70 pipeline steel and investigate how altering its microstructure through heat treatment impacts its electrochemical corrosion behavior. Heat treatment parameters: Austenitizing temperatures:1000°C and 850°C, Quenching followed by tempering at 300°C, 450°C, and 600°C.

L’objectif de notre travail est de montrer l’importance de l’introduction de l’entrepreneuriat dans le programme de formation au second cycle du secondaire au Tchad. De cet objectif général découlent deux objectifs subsidiaires suivants: expliquer l’importance de l’introduction de l’entrepreneuriat au second cycle du secondaire au Tchad; analyser les effets et les enjeux de l’introduction de l’entrepreneuriat au second cycle du secondaire au Tchad? En débit de ce travail, nous avons fait recours à une étude qualitative axée sur les documents relatifsau second cycle du secondaire au Tchad.

Non-gluten food-based noodle products are an alternative to replace imported wheat flour. The application of extrusion and pregelatinization technology in the processing of noodles enriched with fish meal plays an important role in determining the quality of noodles. This study aims to determine the physical characteristics of noodles made from sago and cassava enriched with anchovy meal on cooking time, rehydration power, elongation, and color. This study used a simple complete random design with three treatments (M1, M2, and M3).

The increasing global demand for aquaculture products has necessitated the development of sustainable farming practices to meet food security goals.Use of drugs in aquaculture is practiced mainly for management of diseases, growth promotion, and health maintenance of fish. This will eventually ensure efficient processing in the field. This review therefore intends to give an overview of the drugs applied in aquaculture including antibiotics, antifungals, antiparasitics, and probiotics, their applications, and their particular contribution towards achieving sustainable aquaculture.

This study aimed to explore students' perceptions regarding the teaching and learning of Religious and Moral Education (RME) in Senior High Schools within the Eastern Region of Ghana. The research also sought to identify the factors influencing these perceptions and the challenges students encounter in studying RME. A cross-sectional survey method was employed to gather quantitative data from students.
