Impact of brief intervention and art therapy for alcohol users.

Objective: To identify the impact of brief intervention paired with art therapy in patients who use alcohol.

Method: This study presents intra-group design, with 11 alcoholics in the city of Tamarana-PR, Brazil, between 2015 and 2016. A test to identify the alcohol consumption level was used at the beginning/end of the actions.

Process and Microstructure to Achieve Ultra-high Dielectric Constant in Ceramic-Polymer Composites.

Influences of process conditions on microstructure and dielectric properties of ceramic-polymer composites are systematically studied using CaCuTiO (CCTO) as filler and P(VDF-TrFE) 55/45 mol.% copolymer as the matrix by combining solution-cast and hot-pressing processes. It is found that the dielectric constant of the composites can be significantly enhanced-up to about 10 times - by using proper processing conditions.
