Functional performance assessment scale for children and adolescents with cancer: cross-cultural study.

Objectives: to describe the methodological process of cross-cultural adaptation of the PlayPerformance Scale for Children to Brazilian Portuguese.

Methods: methodological study of translation and cross-cultural adaptation in six stages: translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, evaluation by a committee of judges, evaluation by expert nurses, and pretest. The agreement and representativeness of the items were assessed using the content validity index.

Graphene oxide functionalized with -methyl-d-glucamine as a novel sorbent for boron removal from produced and formation waters.

This work describes the synthesis of a novel material based on graphene oxide (GO) for the selective removal of boron in an aqueous medium. The material was obtained by functionalizing graphene oxide with -methyl-d-glucamine (NMDG). This material, named NMDG@GO, was successfully characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, atomic force microscopy, and elemental analysis.
