To guide this work, we set out to answer the following question: What is the perception of the relatives of ICU patients about the communication process with the nursing team? In order to answer this question, we set ourselves the following objective: To describe the perception of the relatives of ICU patients about the communication process with the nursing team.

Dil Chahta Hai Soundtrack
The soundtrack to the film Dil Chahta Hai (2001) was arguably the first hit soundtrack in Bollywood created by a rock band. Through interviews and analysis of the soundtrack, this book provides insights into the relationships between Bollywood films, their songs, and new production practices at a key moment of Indian popular music history. Music scholar Jayson Beaster-Jones illustrates how the collaborative approach for this Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy soundtrack generated momentum for a new kind of Indian film song. He highlights the changing tastes of India's urban youth audiences in the twenty-first century and shows how Dil Chahta Hai paved the way for the rock and EDM-oriented compositions of Hindi-language cinema that came to dominate the first decades of the 21st century, making Dil Chahta Hai among the most influential soundtracks in Indian cinematic history. In his discussion of this landmark album, Beaster-Jones draws from interviews with the musician-composers of this soundtrack, reviews by music and film critics, and his own close analysis of the music to trace the production and reception of the Dil Chahta Hai soundtrack in India. Placing the soundtrack in its cultural, historical, and musical contexts, he describes how the rock band aesthetic of the music director trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (i.e. Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani, Loy Mendonsa) and the lyrics of Javed Akhtar transformed both the sound and the compositional practices of Bollywood cinema in the new millennium.

Phil Ochs
Phil Ochs was the 'The Prince of Protest' in the sixties. The only real rival to Bob Dylan, he was the archetypal Greenwich Village topical songwriter. Whether protesting the Vietnam War or campaigning for civil rights, workers' rights and social justice, Phil was always there. Phil was the man to take up causes, write songs, play at rallies and even risk his life. His clear voice and sense of melody, linked with his incisive lyrics, created songs of beauty and power. As his career progressed, with lyrics and music becoming more highly poetic and sophisticated, he still never lost sight of his cause.Towards the end of the sixties he joined with the YIPPIES in protest against the Vietnam War. But idealism became Phil's downfall. He was an idealist who could see no point in continuing if he was unable to make the world a better place. Phil lost all hope and descended into depression, which, along with excessive alcohol consumption, led to his suicide in 1976. Shortly before he took his life, Phil asked his brother if he thought anyone would listen to his songs in the future. Well here we are; sixty years later, still listening. The songs of Phil Ochs are every bit as relevant as they ever were and they are making the world a better place!
Independent games
Creative spaces need freedom. Any production, especially artistic ones, needs room for 'error', experimentation, in other words, for attempting to invent outside the established pattern. The independent production environment is recognised in various artistic sectors as a space for innovation, as it is detached from the logic of mass production. The greatest innovations on the international games scene have come from independent productions. Great classics have revolutionised the aesthetics and functionality of this new medium. This research aims to analyse the production chains of independent Brazilian games, starting with a regional analysis in the city of Bauru-Sp. The aim is to be able to observe the factors responsible for the innovation that these games are able to propose, in terms of the management of creative processes, the articulation of innovative agents and the resources mobilised. Understanding the mechanisms of innovation in the world of games and their impact on audience formation are possible outcomes of future studies and research that this work could contribute to.

Breathing with Missoku
The interest in all things Japan, as well as the increasing effort to center both physical and mental health as a core value of any flourishing society, leads to the nexus explored in this book, Missoku, a unique breathing method that has been handed down through Japanese Zen tradition.

One incentive includes an increase in respiration capacity, which in turn stimulates the brain, balances autonomic nerves, and improves immune defenses.
Vincenzo Bellini on Stage and Screen, 1935-2020
Vincenzo Bellini on Stage and Screen, 1935-2020 offers nine case studies of the history of Vincenzo Bellini's operas on stage, on screen, and in sound, video and performance art. This investigation begins in 1935, the hundredth anniversary of the composer's death and the year when his first biopic was released, and ends in 2020, when performance artist Marina Abramovic's 'opera project' 7 Deaths of Maria Callas, whose final scene is accompanied by Bellini's famous aria 'Casta Diva, ' was premiered.In Part One, several recent productions of La sonnambula, Norma and I Puritani are discussed from different perspectives, but the common focus is on the possible meanings of these works for contemporary spectators. Part Two, centered on cinema, includes chapters on biopics of Bellini that make extensive use of his music, as well as on the presence of this music in soundtracks of films from the last half century. Part Three turns to other media or mixtures of stage and screen, and focuses on Bellini in sound and video art of the last few decades, on YouTube and its fandom, and on 7 Deaths of Maria Callas.The volume offers an expansive view of the many ways in which Bellini's operas have been visualized and conceptualized over the past century, and of what they may have meant, and may still mean, for twentieth- and twenty-first-century culture.
From the countryside to the city
The dynamics of contemporary society in rural areas have undergone a series of changes compared to the agricultural areas of a few decades ago. In view of this situation, the aim of this work is to analyze the historical process of economic formation in the municipality of Horizontina-RS, looking at the reasons for the decline in the importance of agricultural production as an economic activity, from work to the income of the rural population. The results showed changes in the number and profile of people occupying rural areas in Horizontina, the latter mainly due to the occupations of these actors, which restructured the spatial configuration and the processes in place there.
Variability of the Intraseasonal OMJ Signal over the NEB with OLAMv3.3
Intraseasonal atmospheric phenomena are important modulators of rainfall over South America, especially in the north of northeastern Brazil, where the state of Cear獺 is located. The Madden-Julian Oscillation, in turn, can influence the positioning and intensity of the Intertropical Convergence Zone - the main factor responsible for rainfall in the Northeast of Brazil (NEB). That said, this paper presents an analysis of the possible influence of the ITCZ on the NEB. The analyses are described through observations obtained from the NOAA data site, as well as through global numerical modeling. The results show that the years 2002 and 2003 have great intra-seasonal variability in the control region over the Indian Ocean - both observationally and numerically, with considerable influence on the NEB region associated with OMJ events. On the other hand, specifically for numerical modeling, using the methodology discussed for selecting a random OMJ event, the year 2011 showed strong variability on the intraseasonal time scale in the INDI control region, with an influence on the NEB region.
Rural extension in the Para穩ba hinterland
Among the technological alternatives available to alleviate or even solve water scarcity in rural areas is the underground dam. It is well known that the families benefiting from underground dams find it difficult to exploit the natural resources present in the dam areas in a sustainable way, since they were set up because of the climatic situation as a way of alleviating water scarcity in the region. In this situation, the aim was to train family farmers who are beneficiaries of the One Land, Two Waters Programme - P1+2 with Underground Dams, in the sustainable exploitation of the areas surrounding the dams in the Barro Branco II community, in the municipality of S瓊o Jos矇 da Lagoa Tapada, in the Para穩ba hinterland, to improve sustainable food production, increase income generation and consequently improve the community's quality of life. The work achieved the proposed objectives when the farmers absorbed and proved the positive and beneficial results of sustainable agricultural exploitation of the areas surrounding the underground dams and through the use of natural products it is possible to produce without the use of pesticides.

Phonographic Modernity
Histories of phonographic technologies and industries have long overlooked the East and Southeast Asian contributions to the sonic dimension of global modernity. Fumitaka Yamauchi and Ying-fen Wang address this one-side perspective with a collection of essays that show the nations of East and Southeast Asia as vibrant contributors to and participants in human audible history. A roster of experts on countries from Japan to Indonesia explores the complicated relationship between the gramophone industry and music genres in East and Southeast Asia. Extending the boundaries of their research across multiple disciplines, the contributors connect the gramophone industry to theories surrounding phonography and modernity. Their focus on phonography combines an interest in discs with an interest in the sounds contributing to the recent sonic-auditory turn in sound studies. Ambitious and expansive, Phonographic Modernity examines the bloc of East and Southeast Asia within the larger global history of sound recording.

Economic analysis of the use of Salmo salar MSM
One of the most common forms of fish processing is filleting. After this process, the carcasses are left with fractions of quality meat that are difficult to reuse. The fish processing industry therefore generates, in addition to various nutritious products, waste that is not always properly disposed of and can cause environmental problems. In this sense, the use of MSM (Mechanically Separated Meat) technology is an interesting alternative for promoting the use of meat adhered to carcasses. The transformation of waste into new products that can be used in human or animal food is a very important practice, capable of generating an extra source of income for the processing industries. The aim of this study was to determine the yield of the process of extracting SMC from Atlantic salmon (S. salar) carcasses in a fish warehouse located in Belo Horizonte, MG (Brazil). A protocol was proposed for making kibbeh from the SMC obtained, as well as studying the economic viability of acquiring the equipment needed to produce both SMC and salmon kibbeh.

The Philosophy of Radiohead
Radiohead is among the few bands in contemporary popular music that have combined considerable commercial success with widely recognized artistic significance. In an epoch in which reflection on technological change is paramount in every discipline and field of research, its connection to music stands out as particularly intriguing. It is precisely this capacity to establish a stimulating and creative relationship with technology that has defined Radiohead's unique aesthetics, unlike other pop-rock bands of the same period. Starting from the philosophical conceptions of technology and artistic technique developed by various thinkers of the 20th century (Adorno, Horkheimer, Anders, Heidegger, and others), this book offers an original philosophical interpretation of Radiohead's musical oeuvre, from the beginning of the band's career to its most recent albums, with a specific focus on the relationships between music, society, technology, and expressivity.
