Context Contemporary technologies, such as mainstream and specialised Assistive Technologies (ATs), are seen effective. However, there is a noticeable gap between technological progress the ability to customise these technologies meet unique needs characteristics of neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on Autism Spectrum people with Intellectual Disability (pwID).

Older adults present a higher risk of suicide, and Brazil is experiencing fast population aging. To understand the impact demographic transition, we compared Brazilian suicide mortality rates (MR) among (50+ years) with global rates, those from one high-income country, middle-income country. Looking for regional disparities, MR was analyzed older (60+ by states.This an ecological study based on estimates Global Burden Disease Study, 2000 to 2019. Age-standardized age-specific per 100,000...

The aim of the present study was to assess effect six different temperatures on development Acarophenax lacunatus (Cross & Krantz) using eggs Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) as hosts. temperature affected A. lacunatus. largest values for progeny (19 mites in T. 15 C. ferrugineus) were obtained at about 30 degrees C, also observed net reproductive rate (Ro), which revealed that population increased 18 times 14 a generation. intrinsic increase (r m)...

The interaction between Acarophenax lacunatus (Cross & Krantz) and Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) may be a promising tool for the integrated pest management of stored grain insect pests. objective this study was to evaluate compatibility these two natural enemies on Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius). experimental units were petri dishes (140 x 10 mm) containing 30 g whole wheat grains (13% water content) infested with 20 adults R. dominica. treatments consisted inoculation A. calandrae,...

O ácaro parasita Acarophenax lacunatus (Cross & Krantz) pode ser um importante agente de controle biológico insetos-praga grãos armazenados, mas sua presença em criações massais desses organismos é prejudicial. objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a susceptibilidade desse ao enxofre. As unidades experimentais consistiram placas Petri, contendo 30 g trigo infestados com adultos Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae). Os tratamentos no polvilhamento dos enxofre, nas doses...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect different temperatures with association mite Acarophenax lacunatus (Cross & Krantz) on population suppression Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius). experimental units were petri dishes containing 40 g whole wheat grains (13% moisture content) infested 10 adults R. dominica, under 20, 25, 30 and 35 masculineC, or without A. lacunatus, in five replicates. Relative humidity 60 +/- 5% escotophase 24h used for all temperatures. Five days after...

Abstract Traditional solution for oil and gas production equipment is the use of carbon steel (CS) due to its reduced cost, compared more noble corrosion resistant materials. To ensure integrity these equipment, needs be accompanied by mitigation measures, like Corrosion Inhibitors (CI). In present context with constraining environmental requirements increase water cut, inhibitors become challenging. An optimized chemicals necessary limit as much possible, their impact on environment, but...
