Digital innovation changed the daily living impacting Quality of Life of individuals. Our study was focused on adult and elder behavioural approach to the technology. Out study aimed to investigate the impact of technology use in not digital native in order to investigate the behavioural degree of adaptation. An observational study was conducted on adult and old subjects (age range 50-67 years) measuring computer anxiety and technology use ability variables identifying the indexes for technophobia risk in digital living. Not digital native subjects and more older ones appeared being influenced by technophobia features because of feeling themselves as inadequate in the management of technology. Oneway ANOVA and then Bonferroni's post-hoc analysis showed that non-autonomous (p less then 0.01), low-frequency (p less then 0.01), and feelingneed- for-help users (p less then 0.01) had higher levels of computer anxiety. No significant effect was in gender distribution. Finally, social networking seems related better use of technology and lower anxiety for digital solutions. Our findings highlight technophobia as a possible new risk factor for not digital native because it can affect their daily life through lower adherence to digital solutions; rather than aging successfully, they could develop fragile ageing. More, they seemed inadequate to use the digital solutions for better living in aging.In 1977 Korchinski presented a new type of shock discontinuity in conservation laws. These singular solutions were coined δ-shocks since there is a time dependent Dirac delta involved. A naive description is that such δ-shock is of the overcompressive type a single shock wave belonging to both families, the four characteristic lines of which impinge into the shock itself. In this work, we open the fan of solutions by studying two-family waves without intermediate constant states but possessing central rarefactions or comprising δ-shocks.The stimulus evoked compound action potential, recorded from ex vivo nerve trunks such as the rodent optic and sciatic nerve, is a popular model system used to study aspects of nervous system metabolism. This includes (1) the role of glycogen in supporting axon conduction, (2) the injury mechanisms resulting from metabolic insults, and (3) to test putative benefits of clinically relevant neuroprotective strategies. We demonstrate the benefit of simultaneously recording from pairs of nerves in the same superfusion chamber compared with conventional recordings from single nerves. Experiments carried out on mouse optic and sciatic nerves demonstrate that our new recording configuration decreased the relative standard deviation from samples when compared with recordings from an equivalent number of individually recorded nerves. The new method reduces the number of animals required to produce equivalent Power compared with the existing method, where single nerves are used. Adopting this method leads to increased experimental efficiency and productivity. We demonstrate that reduced animal use and increased Power can be achieved by recording from pairs of rodent nerve trunks simultaneously.Background Urgent medications are regularly prescribed using the term "stat", which indicates that the medication should be administered within 30 min after it is ordered. However, many hospitals struggle to reliably administer stat medications within 30 min after they are ordered. This study involved developing and evaluating an automated intravenous dosage medication calculation tool (AIVDMCT) for reducing the time between the order and administration of stat medications to children at a pediatric emergency department (PED) in Saudi Arabia. Methods This prospective observational study evaluated data from before (June-December 2016) and after (June-December 2017) the AIVDMCT was implemented for high-risk medications in our PED. Patients were considered eligible if they were less then 14 years old, weighed less then 40 kg, and required stat intravenous (IV) medications at the PED of our tertiary care hospital. Results Implementation of the AIVDMCT significantly reduce the intervals between the time of order (TO) and the time of preparation (TP) (average time 8.05 ± 3.42 min) and between the TP and the time of administration (TA) (average time 3.74 ± 1.70 min). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/6-aminonicotinamide.html Furthermore, the interval from the TO to the TA was significantly reduced after the AIVDMCT was implemented (average time 11.79 ± 4.48 min, P less then 0.001). Conclusion The AIVDMCT was associated with a significant reduction in the interval from the TO to the TA. This increased the proportion of stat medications that were delivered within the 30-min target window.Heterogeneous photocatalysis has become a significant green technology for water treatment. The application of Nb2O5 catalyst for the photodegradation of contaminants has merged as an important tool to this process. Furthermore, it is known that catalytic phases supported on metal oxides are an alternative method for enhancing its activity. In this work, supported Nb2O5 on mixed oxides as catalyst was applied to degrade methylene blue dye, leading to almost 100% of dye degradation without the need of any additives, after only three hours of sunlight exposure. The effect of catalyst concentration, exposure time and light source were investigated. The best catalyst activity was found at 1.5 g L-1 and for higher catalyst concentrations the degradation was kept constant. Plausible intermediates of this degradation process were observed and characterized by NMR, LC/MS and CZE techniques. After degradation, the catalyst was recovered and could be further re-applied in other three reaction cycles without significant loss of catalytic activity.Angiomyofibroblastoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor usually originating from the vulva and vagina with only one reported case arising from fallopian tube. We describe a second case of tubal angiomyofibroblastoma treated successfully with laparoscopic complete resection.Increasing electricity capacity to support economic growth has become a national development priority in Indonesia. The construction of a power plant needs to consider not only economic but also social and environmental impacts because the government can choose between fossil-based and renewable energy-based power plants. Thus, the decision to invest in a particular type of power plant technology must consider sustainability criteria. Using the social accounting matrix, this study aimed to simulate the impacts of an investment in a coal-fired power plant and compare those to the impacts of investments in renewable energy-based plants (geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar). The simulation results revealed that geothermal and wind power plants required the most significant investment and would increase the gross domestic product by 0.67% and 0.66%, respectively, representing the highest net value added to the economy compared to that of the other power plant options. The construction of a wind power plant promotes employment the most, by 0.
