Reach and engagement on the history of nursing on social media in light of Pierre Lévy.

Objective: To analyze the reach and engagement on the history of nursing on social media of the Memory Center of the School of Nursing, Federal University of Minas Gerais (CEMENF/UFMG), in light of Pierre Lévy.

Methods: Documentary study carried out on CEMENF's Instagram and on the YouTube of the School of Nursing of UFMG, from September to December 2021. The findings were analyzed according to Pierre Lévy's concepts.

Phenanthrene toxicity during early development of the neotropical tree frog Dendropsophus branneri.

Phenanthrene is considered a priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon due to its ubiquitous presence in aquatic and terrestrial environments and its toxic potential. Tadpoles are sensitive ecotoxicological models that provide important information regarding effects of contaminants in amphibian species. The goal of the present study was to generate information regarding the acute and chronic toxicity of phenanthrene to the neotropical tree frog Dendropsophus branneri early life stages.

A Branch-and-Bound Algorithm for the Molecular Ordered Covering Problem.

The Discretizable Molecular Distance Geometry Problem (DMDGP) plays a key role in the construction of three-dimensional molecular structures from interatomic distances acquired through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, with the primary objective of validating a sequence of distance constraints related to NMR data. This article addresses the escalating complexity of the DMDGP encountered with larger and more flexible molecules by introducing a novel strategy via the Molecular Ordered Covering Problem, which optimizes the ordering of distance constraints to improve computational efficiency in DMDGP resolution. This approach utilizes a specialized Branch-and-Bound (BB) algorithm, tested on both synthetic and actual protein structures from the protein data bank.

Cultural adaptation and validity evidence of the Student Nurse Stressor-15 (SNS-15) Scale for Brazil.

Objectives: to carry out the cultural adaptation and evaluation of validity evidence of the Student Nurse Stressor-15 (SNS-15) Scale for use in Brazil.

Methods: psychometric study, conducted from the stages of translation, synthesis, back-translation, review by a committee of seven experts, pre-test and evaluation of measurement properties with 32 and 238 nursing students, respectively. Descriptive statistics, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed.

Ultrasonic pre-treatment to enhance drying of potentially probiotic guava (Psidium guajava): Impact on drying kinetics, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG viability, and functional quality.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ultrasound (US) on the drying acceleration of potentially probiotic guava, including its impact on drying kinetics, probiotic (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG) viability, and functional quality of the product during drying. To perform US pre-treatments, one group of samples were first pre-treated by US (38 W/L, 25 kHz) for 15 and 30 min and then immersed in the probiotic solution for 15 or 30 min, and another group of samples were submerged in the probiotic solution simultaneously applying US (US-assisted) for 15 and 30 min. After pre-treatments, the samples were convectively dried at 60 °C.
