Metallic oxides have been successfully investigated for the recycling of polylactide (PLA) via catalyzed unzipping depolymerization allowing selective recovery lactide monomer. In this contribution, a metallic oxide nanofiller, that is, ZnO, has dispersed into PLA without detrimental polyester degradation yielding PLA/ZnO nanocomposites directly suitable producing films and fibers. The were produced by melt-blending two different grades with untreated ZnO surface-treated nanoparticles....
Since the emergence of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear risks, significant efforts have been made to create efficient personal protection equipment. Recently, metal-organic framework (MOF) materials emerged as new promising candidates for capture degradation various threats, like chemical warfare agents (CWAs) or radioactive species. Herein, we report a synthesis method MOF-textile composites by microwave irradiation, with direct anchoring MOFs on textiles. The resistance...
Abstract An experimental study was carried out to design polylactide (PLA)‐clay nanocomposites for developing fibers. PLA and 1–10 wt % of a selected organomodified bentonite (Bentone® 104‐B104) were melt mixed examine the effect processing conditions (temperature, shear, residence time) on morphology performed polymer (PNC). Because good compatibility with matrix, dispersion B104 occurred under different without difficulty, similar obtained. The results obtained showed that at low...
Motivation should be seen as a very important factor in the learning process. The motivated student has inner strength to learn, discover and capitalize on capabilities, improve academic performance adapt demands of school context. Contextual factors like psychological sense membership may also especially students' classroom engagement, their motivation success. So with this study we intend examine how belonging intrinsic influences perceived learning.A structural model reveals that negative...
Consistent condom use is recognized as one of the most effective strategies to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Despite their effectiveness, condoms remain fairly well used among younger people. The conception appropriate measures change behaviors needs a deep understanding factors underlying poor adherence use. This study aims identify predictors college students. A cross-sectional, correlational, predictive was conducted involving convenience sample 1946...
Background: Food literacy is an essential aspect of modern education, nourishing students with the knowledge and necessary skills to make informed, healthy, sustainable food choices. Building upon validated research conducted in Portugal concerning nutritional level Portuguese students, our objective was provide a similar survey instrument Romanian assess their literacy. Methods: The data collected, based on pilot study, from 120 who completed online questionnaire. questionnaire covered...
Nos últimos 50 anos, a prevalência de obesidade aumentou em todo o mundo, atingindo níveis pandemia. O pós-operatório da cirurgia bariátrica apresenta inúmeros impactos vida do bariátrico que vão desde sobras dermo gordurosas até necessidade acompanhamento psicológico para lidar com os acontecimentos nova vida. “Após bariátrica, pacientes apresentam distribuídas não somente na parede anterior abdômen, mas por toda circunferência abdominal.” (Daher et al., 2019 p. 219). método escolhido foi...
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT) affects frequently the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly stomach. The colon is rarely affected. Both clinical presentation and endoscopic findings are variable histopathological with immunohistochemical analysis needed for diagnosis. There several treatment modalities available, low remission rates favorable outcomes. We present case of an 80-year-old man who, after a positive screening faecal occult blood test, underwent total...
Abstract Humans have been consuming milk obtained from domesticated animals since ancient times. Milk is a very complete food with important nutrients that can support life. However, the patterns of consumption shifting. On one hand, due to increase in number people intolerances (to lactose, for example), and on other some trend avoid foods animal origin owing specific conviction (like welfare, example). In this context, study focused two different European Countries evaluation possible...
To characterise sleep-wake patterns and their influence on academic performance for a sample of Portuguese adolescents. Cross-sectional, analytical-explanatory, correlational epidemiological research. The protocol includes the composite morningness questionnaire (Barton et al, 1985 adapted by Silva 1985), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (Murray, 1991), chronic fatigue scale (Smith 1995), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse, 1988), Educational Achievement (Fermin, 2005), personal data. 2094...
Higher education has influenced students' concepts of sleeping time leading to a deficit sleep quality. Sleep disorders constitute one the most pertinent health problems in western society. Identify factors that influence quality nursing students; which social demographic and academic variants interfere with quality; Analyze variables psychological context investigate relationship between daytime somnolence students. Analytic, descriptive correlational study non-probabilistic convenience...
ABSTRACT Polylactide (PLA)/zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposite filaments were produced with a melt‐spinning process, the aim of obtaining antibacterial textiles. ZnO, an inorganic nanofiller, is used to impart properties PLA. These nanoparticles suit process because their high thermal stability and low granulometry. Generally, metallic oxides (e.g., ZnO) are recycle PLA via catalyzed unzipping depolymerization. In this study, we different ways finely disperse ZnO in produce minimum degradation...
Many aspects linked to personal characteristics, society and culture constitute some of the motivators that drive food choice. The aim this work was determine in what extent eating behaviors individuals are shaped by six different types determinants, namely: health, emotions, price availability, culture, environment politics, marketing commercials. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, involving non-probabilistic sample 11,960 participants from 16 countries. objective validate...
This work intended to explore some motivations that influence people’s eating habits towards sustainability. was an observational, cross-sectional study, carried out by questionnaire survey on a non-probabilistic sample of 10,067 participants from 13 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Romania and United States). Results indicated people prefer fresh local foods the season, being important because it allows...
This research aimed to study consumers’ trends and the consumption of foods obtained through organic farming in two different countries, Portugal Turkey. A questionnaire survey was used, applied internet tools as a result COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. For treatment data, we used basic statistics complemented with tree classification, at evaluating influence sociodemographic factors on knowledge about this type food. The results showed that patterns are relatively similar both many...
to assess the psychometric characteristics of Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture, characterize patient safety culture, and influence sociodemographic professional variables culture dimensions.a methodological, observational, analytical cross-sectional study conducted with 360 nurses in which Culture questionnaire was used. The data were submitted descriptive inferential analysis, as well feasibility validity studies.the nurses' mean age is 42 years old, their time experience 19 years,...
The current policy guidelines on mental health aim to keep the mentally ill within community, with development of social support, including families, hence emergence role family caregiver. To identify socio-demographic variables influencing anxiety, depression and stress for informal caregivers ill; determine influence background caregiver stress; analyse relationship between support overload stress. Cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study 104 caregivers, mostly female (62.5%), aged...
