Objective: The objective of this review is to synthesize evidence regarding the effectiveness of trauma-informed, school-based interventions for children with a history of trauma or adverse experiences as they pertain to academic performance and health outcomes, including behavior, mental health, and socio-emotional functioning.
Introduction: Children and adolescents who face prolonged adverse experiences or trauma have a predisposition toward emotional, behavioral, mental, and physical health problems. Few children or adolescents who endure the repercussions of constant stress and hardships, or survivors of one or more types of trauma, receive the appropriate screening and diagnosis; therefore, they do not receive tailored care or interventions.
Advanced oxidation process in general and hydrodynamic cavitation, in particular, has emerged as a promising technology for the treatment of wastewater in the last few years as the process is energy-efficient and cost-effective. In this process, cavities are generated due to local pressure drops caused by constrictions. This work aimed to investigate the potential of hydrodynamic cavitation as a tertiary treatment to treat the secondary sedimentation tank effluent of a sewage treatment plant, with two laboratory-scale experimental setups having an orifice plate of a 1 mm diameter hole.
