The objective of this paper was to quantify the volumetric and economic losses after clearcutting interventions in the mechanized forest harvest of Pinus taeda L. The study was carried out in a forest company in which the harvesting system of short logs is used in the mechanized modules. Different assortments were analyzed considering the dimensions and price marketed. The volume of the logs left in the field after the intervention was measured with Smalian method.

In India 700 million rural people directly depend on climate-sensitive sectors like agriculture, forest and fisheries, and other natural resources for their subsistence and livelihood. Of these about 300 million rural poor are dependent on forest for their livelihood and more than half of them are tribal who depend on non-timber forest products (NTFPs). This paper attempts to identify household adaptation strategies to reduce vulnerability due to climate change.

Objective: Use of Experimental Design Statistics to identify the random errors that are occurring in the established or traditional decaying values of the disintegrations of Technetium-99 per time. Methodology: Usage of the conventional Tc-99 data, and its subsequent graphing. Plotting of logarithmic transformations, to check the order the reaction law aimed at the identification of experimental errors.

Development is the need for any country’s progress but not at the cost of livelihood of future generations. Industries are the bread and butter for our modern evolved country, and surplus hazardous toxic waste that comes out due to it, is continuous and unavoidable. Such hazardous toxic wastes are potentially harmful to the environment and human health if not treated well. Presently there are some cases which state that how industries emitting the hazardous toxic waste have affected the environment and the human life and Vedanta Copper Smelting Plant in Tuticorin is one of those cases.

Introduction: Recent international guidelines recommend the use of 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC4) over fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for reversal of oral anticoagulant in life-threatening bleeds. Although, thromboembolic complications were reported in many studies in patients who received PCC4. Objective: Describe the effectiveness and safety of low weight base dose (25mg/kg) 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC4) in controlling bleeds event caused by oral anticoagulant.

Background: Breast Cancer (BC) is the type of cancer that most affects women, being the second most common type in the world. In Brazil, in 2016, an estimated 57,960 new cases in women, representing 28.1% of new breast cancer cases across the country. Mammography remains the method of choice for population screening for breast cancer in asymptomatic women and is the first imaging technique indicated to evaluate most clinical breast changes.

No health care is free of risks and possible adverse events that may occur to those who undergo such care. Among the possible complications resulting from health care, cross infection (CI) stand out. Its incidence is higher in developing countries, where problems with human resources, technical expertise and laboratory support hinder infection control policies. Many individuals become susceptible to infections within a hospital setting, especially those patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) where invasive procedures are routine.

Objetivo: o estudo tem por objetivo refletir sobre a aplicação dos conceitos da Teoria do Conforto proposta por Katharine Kolcaba na assistência de enfermagem à pessoa acometida por afecção dermatológica. Metodologia: trata-se de um artigo de revisão narrativa, com enfoque reflexivo, construído a partir de reflexões subsidiadas nos módulos do curso de pós-graduação em enfermagem em dermatologia, agregadas aos fundamentos da teoria do conforto proposta por Kolcaba. Resultados: a Teoria do Conforto enfatiza o conforto como um resultado imediato da experiência humana.
