1. Optimum design of steel columns filled with concrete via genetic algorithm: environmental impact and cost analysis
Abstract The use of concrete-filled tubular columns as part of structural systems has steadily increased throughout the years. The growing demand for structural elements of this nature is a direct result of the possibility to use various cross-section shapes that have increased strength, along with resistance to fire and other corrosive agents. The main obje

2. Fast, cheap and feasible: Implementation of pediatric telemedicine in a public hospital during the Covid-19 pandemic
Abstract Objective: In Brazil, telemedicine was allowed as an exception during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite its recognized value and availability, telemedicine is not universally used, suggesting that some barriers prevent its adoption and acceptance within the community. This study aims to describe the implementation of a low-cost t

3. Production of milk analogues from rice bran protein hydrolysate using the subcritical water technique
Abstract Subcritical water treatment is a useful technique for the extraction of active compounds from biomass materials due to its short processing time, low cost, and environmental sustainability. Defatted rice bran is a by-product of rice bran oil, which still contains protein. In this study, rice bran protein was extracted using subcritical water treatme

4. The importance of education
Abstract The present research is dedicated to analyzing the addition of sawdust biomass, which is a carbonaceous raw material that may be used in coal blends for the production of metallurgical coke, preserving the required quality, with lower cost. The quality of metallurgical coke may be determined by the efficiency of its chemical, physical and thermal fu

6. Direct healthcare costs and their relationships with age at start of drug use and current pattern of use: a cross-sectional study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: It is well known that early start of drug use can lead users to psychosocial problems in adulthood, but its relationship with users’ direct healthcare costs has not been well established OBJECTIVES: To estimate the direct healthcare costs of drug dependency treated at a community mental health service, and to ascertain whether earl

7. Lowering costs for large-scale screening in psychosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of performance and value of information for speech-based psychiatric evaluation
Objective: Obstacles for computational tools in psychiatry include gathering robust evidence and keeping implementation costs reasonable. We report a systematic review of automated speech evaluation for the psychosis spectrum and analyze the value of information for a screening program in a healthcare system with a limited number of psychiatrists (Maputo, M

8. Precision non-implantable neuromodulation therapies: a perspective for the depressed brain
Current first-line treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) include pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, one-third of depressed patients do not achieve remission after multiple medication trials, and psychotherapy can be costly and time-consuming. Although non-implantable neuromodulation (NIN) techniques such as transcranial magne

12. Thermal Infrared Enthalpimetry in Paper Microzone Plates for Green and High Throughput Determination of Wine Acidities
The use of paper devices in chemical analysis has been increased due to their low cost, high surface area, portability, and biodegradability. A novel use of paper devices is proposed using thermal infrared enthalpimetry (TIE) for a rapid, green, and high throughput determination of wine acidities. The determination of total, fixed, and volatile acidities in
