Este estudo descreve as mudanças na especiação de Hg nas águas da Baía de Sepetiba, SE, Brasil, ao longo do gradiente estuarino, durante eventos de maré em diferentes estações. A avaliação química das águas da baía indicou uma exportação de material particulado em suspensão (MPS) pobre em carbono orgânico para a plataforma continental adjacente, principalmente durante a estação chuvosa e uma im...

Nos ultimos anos, vêm se acumulando as evidências sobre a necessidade de vanádio dos organismos mais evoluídos. Estudos de compostos modelos constituem-se numa importante ferramenta para o entendimento dos diferentes aspectos da bioquímica deste bioelemento. Neste artigo, apresentamos os resultados dos nossos estudos, assim como os de outros grupos de pesquisa, sobre compostos modelos relaciona...

In an observational study using an eye-tracker, subjects were presented with a modeless cookie choice dialog preceding a short survey on Internet privacy. Subjects were later asked whether they believed ad trackers were present on the site or not. 41% believed there either were or were not ad trackers on the site based on not clicking ”allow” or ”block”, respectively. These results suggest that...

Adversarial decision making is a particular type of decision making problem where the gain a decision maker obtains as a result of his decisions is affected by the actions taken by others. Representation of alternatives’ evaluations and methods to find the optimal alternative are two important aspects in the adversarial decision making. The aim of this study is to develop a general framework fo...

A study by Burkle et al. in BMC Anesthesiology examined attitudes around perioperative do-not-resuscitate orders. Questionnaires were given to patients, as well as to anesthesiologists, internists and surgeons. The study has limitations and is open to interpretation. However, the findings are important. There appear to be attitudinal differences between patients and doctors, and between special...

Alterations in methane concentration in the water column of aquatic systems is closely linked to the processes of production and consumption of this gas, i.e., methanogenesis and methanotrophy respectively. The aim of this research is to evaluate methane dynamics through diurnal variation in the concentration of this gas in the water column of two lakes differing in trophic status at the campus...

Justificativa e Objetivos Portadores de doença arterial coronária (DAC) apresentam maior morbi-mortal idade per i -operatór ia em cirurg ias não-cardíacas. Exames laboratoriais específicos são aliados importantes do exame clínico e devem ser incluídos no arsenal propedêutico para avaliação e preparo desses pacientes. O objetivo da presente revisão é estabelecer condutas pré-operatórias para min...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of an intervention on the understanding and use of DNR orders by physicians; to assess the impact of understanding the importance of involving competent patients in DNR decisions. DESIGN Prospective clinical interventional study. SETTING Internal medicine department (70 beds) of the hospital of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. PARTICIPANTS Nine junior physi...

Online trackers compile profiles on users for targeting ads, customizing websites, and selling users’ information. In this paper, we report on the first detailed study of the perceived benefits and risks of tracking—and the reasons behind them—conducted in the context of users’ own browsing histories. Prior work has studied this in the abstract; in contrast, we collected browsing histories from...
