Debe ser capaz de dar una respuesta rápida si quiere garantizar la disponibilidad de camas para otros pacientes agudos. Así, el patrón de intervención en este caso se caracteriza por una duración corta(como el ingreso hospitalario), con poca complejidad técnica, una intensidad de visitas alta(como mínimo una visita de un diplomado de enfermería una vez al día) y una rapidez de respuesta muy alta. El equipo debe tener capacidad para valorar al paciente en el hospital y visitarlo en el domicilio a las pocas horas, tras el alta, si hace falta. 4, record 1, Spanish, - hospitalizaci%C3%B3n%20a%20domicilio

The response, as affecting growth or reproduction, of an organism to the length of exposure to light in a 24-hour period. 3, record 2, English, - photoperiodism
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Photoperiodism is the use of the change in day and night length to time certain physiological and behavioural functions. I am interested in how temperate birds use the change in day length to time reproduction. Most birds do not have their gonads all year round. They regenerate their sexual organs to coincide with the breeding season. Day and night length is not the only environmental cue that they can use to help them time reproduction correctly. For example some birds use temperature and rainfall. 4, record 2, English, - photoperiodism
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Many plant responses are controlled by day length, the most notable being flowering in many species (... day-neutral plant; long-day plant; short-day plant). In plants the internal biological clock and the pigment phytochrome are both thought to be involved in the regulation of photoperiodic responses ... 5, record 2, English, - photoperiodism
