  • La enfermera comunitaria de enlace

    Práctica avanzada, eficacia en la gestión de casos y atención domiciliaria
    • 1st Edition
    • Gonzalo Duarte Climents + 1 more
    • Spanish
    Obra que presenta una fundamentación teórica, técnica y legal de Modelo de Enfermería Comunitaria de Enlace. La gestión de casos por parte de enfermeras ha sido explorada en diversas investigaciones, pero no existe un estudio detallado ni una descripción protocolizada "paso a paso" de su trabajo. En esta obra se presentan los fundamentos de su creación, la legislación que la ampara, la forma en que se organiza y los principios de su funcionamiento. Se propone, además, un protocolo básico para el desarrollo de la gestión de casos, y se analiza su impacto sobre los indicadores económicos y de resultados del sistema sanitario. Evalúa el coste económico de la puesta en marcha del modelo propuesto, y su efectividad según los indicadores económicos, de procesos y de resultados del sistema sanitario. Pese a estar dirigida especialmente a las enfermeras comunitarias de enlace, también resulta de interés para médicos y cuadros directivos tanto de la atención primaria como de la hospitalaria.

  • Circular Economy and Sustainability

    Volume 1: Management and Policy
    • 1st Edition
    • Alexandros Stefanakis + 1 more
    • English
    The concept of circular economy is based on strategies, practices, policies, and technologies to achieve principles related to reusing, recycling, redesigning, repurposing, remanufacturing, refurbishing, and recovering water, waste materials, and nutrients to preserve natural resources. It provides the necessary conditions to encourage economic and social actors to adopt strategies toward sustainability. However, the increasing complexity of sustainability aspects means that traditional engineering and management/economics alone cannot face the new challenges and reach the appropriate solutions. Thus, this book highlights the role of engineering and management in building a sustainable society by developing a circular economy that establishes and protects strong social and cultural structures based on cross-disciplinary knowledge and diverse skills. It includes theoretical justification, research studies, and case studies to provide researchers, practitioners, professionals, and policymakers the appropriate context to work together in promoting sustainability and circular economy thinking. Volume 1, Circular Economy and Sustainability: Management and Policy, discusses the content of circular economy principles and how they can be realized in the fields of economy, management, and policy. It gives an outline of the current status and perception of circular economy at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels to provide a better understanding of its role in achieving sustainability. Volume 2, Circular Economy and Sustainability: Environmental Engineering, presents various technological and developmental tools that emphasize the implementation of these principles in practice (micro-level). It demonstrates the necessity to establish a fundamental connection between sustainable engineering and circular economy.

  • Improvements in Bio-Based Building Blocks Production Through Process Intensification and Sustainability Concepts

    • 1st Edition
    • Juan Gabriel Segovia-Hernandez + 3 more
    • English
    Improvements in Bio-Based Building Blocks Production Through Process Intensification and Sustainability Concepts discusses new information on the production and cost of bio-based building blocks. From a technical point-of-view, almost all industrial materials made from fossil resources can be substituted using bio-based counterparts. However, the cost of bio-based production in many cases exceeds the cost of petrochemical production. In addition, new products must be proven to perform at least as good as their petrochemical equivalents, have a lower environmental impact, meet consumer demand for environmentally-frie... products, factor in population growth, and account for limited supplies of non-renewables. This book outlines the application of process intensification techniques which allow for the generation of clean, efficient and economical processes for bio-based chemical blocks production.

  • Nanoscale Electrochemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 18

    • English
    Nanoscale Electrochemistry focuses on challenges and advances in electrochemical nanoscience at solid–liquid interfaces, highlighting the most prominent developments of the last decade. Nanotechnology has had a tremendous effect on the multidisciplinary field of electrochemistry, yielding new fundamental insights that have broadened our understanding of interfacial processes and stimulating new and diverse applications. The book begins with a tutorial chapter to introduce the principles of nanoscale electrochemical systems and emphasize their unique behavior compared with their macro/microscopic counterparts. Building on this, the following three chapters present analytical applications, such as sensing and electrochemical imaging, that are familiar to the traditional electrochemist but whose extension to the nanoscale is nontrivial and reveals new chemical information. The subsequent three chapters present exciting new electrochemical methodologies that are specific to the nanoscale, including "single entity"-based methods and surface-enhanced electrochemical spectroscopy. These techniques, now sufficiently mature for exposition, have paved the way for major developments in our understanding of solid–liquid interfaces and continue to push electrochemical analysis toward atomic-length scales. The final three chapters address the rich overlap between electrochemistry and nanomaterials science, highlighting notable applications in energy conversion and storage. This is an important reference for both academic and industrial researchers who are seeking to learn more about how nanoscale electrochemistry has developed in recent years.

  • Development in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes

    Removal of Emerging Contaminants from Wastewater through Bio-nanotechnology
    • 1st Edition
    • Susana Rodriguez-Couto + 2 more
    • English
    Removal of Emerging Contaminants from Wastewater through Bio-nanotechnology showcases profiles of the nonregulated contaminants termed as “emerging contaminants,” which comprise industrial and household persistent toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), pesticides, surfactants and surfactant residues, plasticizers and industrial additives, manufactured nanomaterials and nanoparticles, microplastics, etc. that are used extensively in everyday life. The occurrence of “emerging contaminants” in wastewater, and their behavior during wastewater treatment and production of drinking water are key issues in the reuse and recycling of water resources. This book focuses on the exploitation of Nano-biotechnology inclusive of the state-of-the-art remediate strategies to degrade/detoxify/sta... toxic and hazardous contaminants and restore contaminated sites, which is not as comprehensively discussed in the existing titles on similar topics available in the global market. In addition, it discusses the potential environmental and health hazards and ecotoxicity associated with the widespread distribution of emerging contaminants in the water bodies. It also considers the life cycle assessment (LCA) of emerging (micro)-pollutants with suitable case studies from various industrial sources.
