Although effective, CBTi is not easily accessible due to a shortage of specialized professionals and high treatment costs. Online CBTi (CBTi-O) has been proposed as a more accessible and affordable treatment option. Objetives: SleepUp is a digital therapeutics solution for insomnia, intended to provide evidence-based treatment in an easily accessible format. Methods: The treatment program is based on CBTi-O, composed by seven therapeutic modules (sleep hygiene, relaxation and meditation, psychoeducation, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, sleep restriction and paradoxical intention). Users are monitored with a sleep log and validated questionnaires assessing insomnia symptoms, sleepiness, sleep quality and sleep hygiene. Addi...

La presente invention concerne un procede d'obtention d'une telle fibre et des articles fabriques a partir de celle-ci. La fibre polyamide biodegradable selon l'invention peut etre obtenue par l'ajout d'un agent de biodegradation pendant l'extrusion par filage a l'etat fondu d'un polyamide specifique decrit ci-dessous.

The materials are analyzed by EM shielding and surface resistivity methodologies, scanning electron microscopy and BET surface area. The synergy among the conductive materials, percolation threshold, EM shielding behaviors and theoretical predictions are also investigated. The coating thickness obtained was 100–200 μm, and the EM range tested was 200–1000 MHz. EM shielding fabrics of 95–99.99% (15–40 dB) were obtained, and CNT was found to be the most effective material. The reported methodology and materials are suitable for the production of customized, flexible, lightweight and porous conductive fabrics for either EM shielding or functional electronic applications, including high specific surface area conductive materials.
