- The study investigates how certain changeable factors within care facilities influence pain levels in long-term care residents in Switzerland.
- Data was collected from 6213 residents across 86 institutions, revealing that access to specialists and effective teamwork can significantly reduce pain.
- The findings suggest that improving structural factors in care settings can enhance both pain management and the overall quality of life for residents.
This study comparatively evaluated effluent reuse from two TWs-a horizontal subsurface flow (HF) and a vertical subsurface flow (VF)-used for rural wastewater treatment in Central Chile during the initial operation stage. The two TWs were planted with Zantedeschia aethiopica and were operated for 10 months at a pilot scale. The water quality of the influent and effluents was measured and compared with reuse regulations.
