Objectives: to identify the risk of falls in hospitalized patients in open hospitalization units; to compare the risk of falls among different open hospitalization units; to classify patients regarding the risks of hospital stay. Method: cross-sectional, quantitative study using Morse Fall Scale (MFS). A total of 105 individuals participated. The data were submitted to statistical analysis with the aid of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18.0, presented in absolute and relative frequencies, mean and standard deviation.

Introduction: The treatment of autism spectrum disorder, due to its difficulty in diagnosis through clinical exams, presents challenges regarding the inclusion and maintenance of treatment procedures and effective therapies. Objective: The study aims to apply a checklist to the parents of autistic children in two moments in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the Assisted Activity by Dogs in addition to other treatments for autism given to their children. Methodological Path: This is a quantitative-qualitative research of a comparative nature.

Obesity is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by accumulation of fat in the body. The increase in body weight through the consumption of saturated fats can trigger the onset of chronic non-communicable diseases, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the feeding behavior and the physiological changes in fatty tissues of rats after hyperlipidemic diet. 8 Wistar rats were divided into two groups: Control Group, with a standard diet and Intervention Group, with a hyperlipidemic diet.

Background: Labour pain is the pain and discomfort associated with the contraction of uterus during labour.1 In most labour room it is a common sight that the mothers shout, keep their bodies rigid and start pushing before the cervix is fully dilated, this leads to early rupture of membrane as well as prolonged and complicated labour which affect the condition of the infant at birth. During labour when the women are instructed they are not able to follow instructions because they experience pain.

The process of university training of Nursing students requires a workload that involves numerous face-to-face classes, hours of individual study, besides the involvement with research and extension activities, which can be inferred in their quality of life.

Objective: To examine the actions taken by nurses of Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in keeping the vital functions of potential donors of organs and tissues. Method: This is a descriptive and exploratory study with a quantitative approach performed with 36 nurses who work in Intensive Care Units (ICU) at the Hospital of Restoration (HR) and Hospital Getulio Vargas (HGV), two public hospitals in the city of Recife (PE), Brazil. Data were collected through a semi structured instrument made by the researchers.

There has been enormous advancements in Indian Engineering education over the past few decades. This magnification of engineering education has been devastatingly due to privately funded educational institutions. Momentarily, India has emerged as the massive pool of engineering talent among the global education domain. Today’s engineering education is facing challenges of employment in knowledge intensive, productivity conscious, technology savvy industry environment.

Soil stabilization implies modifying the properties of soil and making it into a strong and durable mass. Soil needs to be densified to improve its shear strength and bearing capacity. It can be achieved through various means like mechanical compaction, addition of chemicals or additives like lime, cement, bitumen and resin. Grouting technique incorporates injecting fluid or suspension called grout into the pores of soil. Chemical grouts and cement grouting are expensive and harmful ways which affect the ecosystem adversely. Hence alternative methods have to be proposed.

Valid mathematical models can be obtained by the means of the system’s input and output data, as well as by using system identification techniques. However, it is fundamental that the data within the time series does not violate the statistical assumptions of the series. It is necessary to perform tests to detect possible violations of the system’s variables.
