Compensation for medical incidents as a result of out-of-court conciliatory proceedings by voivodship boards

there is a growing gap between the public’s imagination of medicine’s capabilities, the range of medical services really available to the average patient, and the actual results of medical procedures. Many patients feel deceived by, neglected by, or dis appointed with medicine, health institutions, and medical staff. Patients’ grievances result in an increasing number of legal claims in courts and politicians introduce harsher legal regulations targeting delinquent or negligent medical professionals. the aim of the article is to discuss resulting problems and available solutions. the term “defensive medicine” describes adjustments made by medical staff to their professional activities primarily to secure themselves from claims and not to benefit the patient, involving risk reduction and risk avoidance. it is estimated that medically unjustified procedures driven by fears of malpractice suits account for even as much as 20% of total healthcare costs. Primary care physicians are among the greatest contributors in that they tend to overcautiously order otherwise unneeded hospitalizations, generating significant secondary costs. in Poland, the Patient Rights and ombudsman act of 6 november 2008, with its 2011 amendment, introduced a new way for hospitalized patients who have suffered medical harm to seek compensation without costly, time-consuming, blame-based court proceedings. although – unlike in courts – claimants do not need to provide decisive evidence of the claim’s accuracy, but only back it up adequately, the new administrative quasi-court proceedings has not gained popularity as often it lasts longer than expected and rather low compensation proposed tend to be considered unsatisfac tory by claimants.
Mixed forests to mitigate risk of insect outbreaks

ABSTRACT The majority of agricultural and forest production systems are typically simplified systems and therefore thought to be sensitive to disturbance. Ecosystems might be less sensitive to disturbance if complexity increases. The resource concentration hypothesis predicts that complexity makes it more difficult for herbivores to find and exploit their food. The natural enemy hypothesis predicts less damage in diverse environments because enemy abundance and diversity remain higher and more stable in environments providing more alternative food sources. We explore the effect of tree diversity in two types of pine stands differing in tree diversity. We ask whether European pine sawfly (Neodiprion sertifer) larval group distribution and larval mortality, imposed by specialist natural enemies, is affected by tree diversity. We find fewer larval groups on pine trees surrounded by non-host trees, indicating that fewer egg-batches were laid. Mortality rates by specialist enemies are not affected by tree diversity but parasitism rates are likely to be higher in larger trees. Herbivores are inhibited by increased tree diversity and density, whereas natural enemies seem to be unaffected, partly increasing the resistance of more diverse forest stands against insect damage. Thus, managing for more mixed forests could mitigate risk of herbivore damage.
Thinking beyond Zoom: Using Asynchronous Video to Maintain Connection and Engagement during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced colleges and universities to move all in-person courses to a remote or online learning format. As a result, many faculty, including teacher educators, opted to transition their courses to live synchronous web meetings using web conferencing tools like Zoom. Despite benefits of synchronous communication, there are constraints with the use and overuse of synchronous live meetings (which many teacher educators ended up experiencing during the pandemic). In this paper, we describe the experiences of how four different faculty, at four different universities, used asynchronous video to maintain connection and engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conclude with implications for practice and future research.
Solubilization of Araxá natural phosphate and decomposition of plant residues by bacterial isolates

ABSTRACT Brazil imports most of the phosphate fertilizers used in agriculture, however, it has national deposits in its territory that can supply part of the domestic market demand. In order of these to be used effectively, it is necessary to identify techniques to accelerate the release of phosphorus (P) from these rocks. The objective was to evaluate the influence of inoculation with phosphate solubilizing bacterial isolates (PSB) and decomposition of different plant residues in the solubilization of Araxá natural phosphate (ANP). Two experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design in a 5 x 4 factorial scheme, with four replicates. The first experiment evaluated the solubilization of ANP by PSB in culture medium with four different sources of carbon: glucose, saccharose, cellulose, and pectin. The treatments were incubated for seven days and then were analyzed the P concentration and pH values. In the second experiment, the ANP was applied in 300 cm3 of soil, placed in incubation chambers, with six grams of dry and crushed plant material of white oat, brachiaria, crotalaria, lupine, and the inoculation of PSB. Decomposition was evaluated weekly by quantifying the carbon of the CO2-C released and, after 42 days was analyzed the concentration of P in the soil. It was observed that the carbon source directly influences the solubilization of ANP by PSB, especially the genus Burkholderia. Treatments containing crotalaria and lupine residues showed higher CO2-C values, and the ones containing plant residues associated with BSF inoculation obtained the highest levels of P in the soil.
How Hemodialysis Patients Perceive the SARS-CoV-2 Health Crisis: Lessons from Austria.

Background The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic forced many countries to implement strict and unprecedented precautions to stop the spread of the virus. On top of these measures, hemodialysis units have adopted their own rules to protect wards and patients from infection with SARS-CoV-2. Despite the rapidly growing knowledge on epidemiology, virology, and clinical disease, little is known about how these measures are perceived by patients themselves on hemodialysis. Methods The study was performed in the three hemodialysis units in Vorarlberg, Austria's westernmost state. A questionnaire was developed consisting of 22 questions on patients' perceptions of the COVID-19 crisis and their feelings about the general precautions and specific steps implemented on dialysis wards. All adult patients were asked to fill out the questionnaire anonymously. Results Of 202 patients on hemodialysis, 148 completed the questionnaire (66.9% men, mean age 68.3±13.3 years). The vast majority (83.1%) were worried by the COVID-19 crisis, but only 28.4% reported a negative effect on emotional well-being. Daily life was most affected by the general ban on visitors (58.6%) and home confinement (35.9%). Of the patients, 64.2% feared contracting COVID-19, 30.7% were afraid of financial consequences, and 14.6% were afraid of loneliness and isolation. The safety measures on dialysis wards were classified as adequate by 97.3% of the respondents. Of the patients, 78.2% felt safe during dialysis treatment. All dialysis-specific precautions (individual patient transport, health check, hand disinfection, wearing a face mask, and physical distancing) were rated important or very important by almost all patients. To date, none of the patients have acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusions Although the SARS-CoV-2 crisis brought worry to and affected the lives of most patients on hemodialysis, its effect on their emotional well-being was moderate. Patients felt safe on dialysis wards, and acceptance of specific precautions was high.

Growth retardants in dry bean plants: impacts on the architecture, photoassimilate partition, and their consequences on the yield

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of three growth retardants on the development and yield of dry bean plants. The treatments were control (water), maleic hydrazide (0.09 g a.i. L -1 ), ethyl-trinexapac (0.5 g a.i. L -1 ) and propiconazole (0.125 g a.i. L -1 ). Maleic hydrazide decreased the plant growth rate, resulting in the height reduction (46%). It also inhibited the twining shoot development, thus controlling the vigor excess of this genotype which has indeterminate growth. On the other hand, plants which were treated with ethyl-trinexapac and propiconazole showed the higher heights (from 25 to 52%, respectively), indicating that both compounds provide the plant growth. These compounds also increased the number of pods (48 to 52%) and grains (47 to 102%), when compared to the control. However, ethyl-trinexapac and maleic hydrazide decreased 50-grain dry mass (41 to 52%), indicating changes in the photoassimilate partition among plant structures. This change was evidenced by the correlation coefficient of the biomass allocated between the shoots and grains, which was inversely proportional (r=-60.57) and highly significant ( p =0.0002). It is concluded that maleic hydrazide is an efficient growth inhibitor of dry bean plants. Propiconazole and ethyl-trinexapac provide the plant growth, and also improve the main yield components. However, ethyl-trinexapac and maleic hydrazide decrease grain biomass.
Comparative Efficacy of Some Bio-Rational and Chemical Insecticides against Whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) on Okra Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench

Among the vegetable crops grown in India, Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench), also known as lady’s finger or bhendi, belongs to family Malvaceae and is an important crop grown throughout the year. Besides India, it is grown in many tropical and subtropical parts of the world. Tender fruits are used as vegetables or in culinary preparations as sliced and dried pieces. It is also used for thickening gravies and soups, because of its high mucilage content. The roots and stems of okra are used for cleaning cane juice Chauhan (1972). Matured fruits and stems containing crude fibre are used in paper industry. It has good nutritional value, particularly the high content of Vitamin C (30 mg/100 g), Calcium (90 mg/100 g), Iron (1.5 mg/100 g) and other minerals like magnesium and potassium, Vitamin A and B, fats and carbohydrates In this study the field trial was conducted to determine the effect of bio-rational and chemical insecticides and benefit cost ratio at the Central field, Department of Entomology, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Allahabad during kharif 2016. Seven treatments were evaluated against whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) viz., T1-Neem oil 0.03%, T2-Verticillum lecanii, T3-Metarhizium anisopliae, T4-Beauveria bassiana, T5-Acetamiprid 20% SP,T6-Imidacloprid 17.8% SL, T7-Triazophos 40% EC. Studies revealed that the lowest infestation of whitefly and incremental benefit cost ratio were observed in Imidacloprid 17.8% SL (1.25 whiteflies/3leaves and 1:9.33)was statistically significant to remaining treatments, followed by Acetamiprid 20% SP (1.64 whiteflies/3leaves and 1:9.00), Triazophos 40% EC (2.31 whiteflies/3leaves and 1:8.48), Neem oil 0.03% (3.95 whiteflies/3leaves and 1:7.19), Verticilium lecanii (4.72 whiteflies/3leaves and 1:4.60), Beauveria bassiana (5.64 whiteflies/3leaves and 1:5.84) and Metarhizium anisopliae (6.04 whiteflies/3leaves and 1:5.60) respectively. The highest yield was recorded in Imidacloprid 17.8% SL (133.8q/ha) then followed by Acetamiprid 20% SP (121.4 q/ha), Triazophos 40% EC (116.12 q/ha), Neem oil (98.46 q/ha), Verticillum lecanii (81.43 q/ha), Beauveria bassiana (78.62 q/ha), Metarhizium anisopliae (77.82 q/ha), as compared to control (62.56q/h).

A robust adaptive grid method for singularly perturbed Burger-Huxley equations

In this paper, an adaptive grid method is proposed to solve one-dimensional unsteady singularly perturbed Burger-Huxley equation with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. Firstly, we use the classical backward-Euler scheme on a uniform mesh to approximate time derivative. The resulting nonlinear singularly perturbed semi-discrete problem is linearized by using Newton-Raphson-Kantorovich approximation method which is quadratically convergent. Then, an upwind finite difference scheme on an adaptive nonuniform grid is used for space derivative. The nonuniform grid is generated by equidistribution of a positive monitor function, which is similar to the arc-length function. It is shown that the presented adaptive grid method is first order uniform convergent in the time and spatial directions, respectively. Finally, numerical results are given to validate the theoretical results.
Physiological changes in winter wheat genotypes in response to the Zymoseptoria tritici infection

Some physiological aspects of interactions between wheat and Zymoseptoria tritici were studied by measuring changes in some stress markers, photosynthetic activity, and the extent of thermal energy dissipation. Four winter wheat genotypes varying in their level of resistance, determined on the basis of necrotic leaf area and presence of pycnidia, were inoculated at a seedling stage and measurements were performed at 0, 2, 17, and 23 d after the inoculation. Physiological activity of wheat genotypes showed that keeping the membrane integrity and the extent of oxidative stress is of significant importance for pathogen resistance. It could be suggested that the changes in electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde content, and values of quantum yield of PSII electron transport and nonphotochemical fluorescence quenching can be used to screen the degree of tolerance to Septoria tritici blotch in different wheat genotypes.

This paper is to examine the final academic performances of students in the University based on specific information regarding their academic performances during their first year at the University. This study reveals that a strong agreement exists between the students' first and graduating year academic performance in their result. This work will serve as a useful counseling guide to prospective admission seekers and all stakeholders at enhancing students' academic performances in the University system. This study is divided into five sections: introduction, literature, methodology, discussion while the study limitation and future study forms the part of the conclusion.
The effect of daily production in selected lactation phases on the composition and cheese- making characteristics of Holstein-Friesian cow’s milk

It was decided to analyze the daily milk production in selected lactation periods of Holstein-Friesian cows and to determine its impact on the basic milk components as well as parameters determining its cheese-making usefulness. The lactation was divided into six phases considering subsequent days of lactation after calving: 1st phase up to 30 days, II- 31-60, III- 61-100, IV- 101- 200, V- 201-300, VI >300. In each phase, considering daily milk production, two production groups were selected. The study results suggest that the intensity of daily milk secretion has a significant impact on the share of ingredients commonly assessed for cheese-making utility. Increased daily production of milk may favor a higher protein and casein level, however, there is not such a strong correlation with κ-casein concentration. As a result, it may affect the quality and efficiency of cottage cheese production. At the same time, it should be noted that changes in the content of the analyzed milk components were related to the changes in the chloride level, and their share was dependent on the daily milk production (P<0.05). The consequence of this was degradation of important cheese-making features: the reduction of curd amount and the prolongation of coagulation time.
Development and Characterization of Genic Microsatellites for the Ornamental Plant Green and Gold (Chrysogonum virginianum)

The genus Chrysogonum is native to the eastern United States. Three entities have been recognized—either as three varieties of Chrysogonum virginianum or as two species, one of them with two varieties. The current study suggests that a fourth entity should be recognized. Several forms of the complex are in commercial trade as ornamentals. As very limited molecular information on Chrysogonum is available, we developed a set of genic simple sequence repeat markers (eSSRs) from de novo transcriptome sequencing. We tested a set of 17 eSSRs on a collection of C. virginianum genomic DNA samples from the three botanical varieties, and a new putative type observed in Tennessee, dubbed “Ocoee-type” for its geographic origin. The polymerase chain reaction and capillary electrophoresis analyses with downstream population genetics tools verified the usefulness of the eSSRs. By applying this approach, we showed recognizable variation within Chrysogonum, although it did not correspond exactly to previous infraspecific classifications. Finally, as demonstrated for the commercial cultivar Pierre included in the study, the eSSRs can be used for enhancing the future breeding or hybridization efforts of this ornamental plant.
Obstetric Near Miss in Northwest Ethiopia, Has a Pregnant Woman Still 'One Foot in the Grave'?

Background: Globally obstetric near misses occur in larger numbers than maternal deaths. In the developing countries the unacceptably high maternal mortality overshadows severe maternal morbidity. In Ethiopia a woman is said “ gulbete dekama ” when she get pregnant to mean she is incapacitated and congratulated when she has successfully given birth as “enkuan fetari aterefesh” to mean ‘well survived’. Severe obstetric morbidity continues to be a neglected dimension of maternal health, unlike maternal death. This study aimed at assessing proportion and factors associated with obstetric near miss in Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: An institution based cross sectional study was conducted from March to April 2017. Data was collected using a pre-tested questionnaire with systematic random sampling technique among 501 participants and analyzed through SPSS. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regressions were computed. A P-value less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant at 95% confidence level. Results: Overall, 116 (23.2%; 95%CI:19.1-26.64) of the mothers were having obstetric near misses. The mean age was 26.12 ± 5.6, and the median distance a woman travelled to reach at this facility was 40 kilometers. Age of woman[AOR=3.6; 95%CI:1.29-9.93], marital status[AOR=4.3; 95%CI:1.61-9.12], gravidity[AOR=3.9; 95%CI: 1.74-8.84] and [AOR=2.5; 95%CI:1.14-5.23], antenatal care[AOR=0.1; 95%CI:0.03-0.61], birth weight[AOR=2.2; 95%CI:1.01-4.95], length of hospital stay[AOR=7.3; 95%CI:3.76-13.01] and mode of delivery[AOR=3.5; 95%CI: 1.72-7.22] and [AOR=3.5; 95%CI:1.21-11.13], were significantly associated with obstetric near miss. Conclusions: The proportion of obstetric near misses was found to be high. Hemorrhagic disorders were the most common event of near miss. Risk of near miss was increased in mothers with extreme age, non-married, not having antenatal care, birth by cesarean section and longer hospital stay.
"Terroir" effect, as a result of enviromental stess, depends more on soil depth than on soil type ( Vitis vinifera L. cv. Grenache Noir, Côtes du Rhône, France, 2000)

Among other elements of the natural environment, soil greatly influences vine behaviour and berry composition. Its influence is complex, because soil affects vine water and mineral uptake, as well as temperature in the root zone. In this research, investigations were undertaken to assess whether vine development and grape quality potentiel could be linked to specific soil types. 15 dry farmed plots planted with Vitis vinifera L. cv. Grenache noir were studied in 2000 on five soil types of the Southern Cotes du Rhone (France). No clear relationship could be established between soil type, vine growth, yield and berry composition. However, vine water and nitrogen status were related to soil depth. On shallow soils, vine water and nitrogen status were low, which resulted in early shoot growth cessation and moderate yield, as well as high berry sugar and anthocyanin content. Severe water stress is known for affecting negatively berry ripening. Nevertheless, although this study was carried out under dry, Mediterranean conditions, the grapes with the highest potential for making quality red wines were obtained on the soils with the lowest water holding capacity.
Health Impacts of Exposure to Heavy Metals in Some Selected Lipstick Products Available in Mashhad, Iran

This study aimed to investigate the levels of heavy metals in the lipstick products. In general, 30 samples were randomly selected from Mashhad markets. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t test were used to compare color and price variables. Based on the results, the mean concentrations of studied elements were as follows: Cd (ND-0.52 µg/g), Cr (0.25-76.35 µg/g), Ni (ND-20.12 µg/g), Zn (ND-224.22 µg/g), Pb (ND-44.77 µg/g), and Hg (ND-0.32 µg/g). The presence of toxic metals in the samples, and on the other hand, continuous use and unintended ingestion of these metals can lead to their biological accumulation in the human body, thereby causing the development of different diseases. Hence, it deems necessary to apply suitable actions for the improvement of quality control over these products.
The effects of meal size on postprandial metabolic response and post-exercise metabolic recovery process in juvenile black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus)

ABSTRACT The effects of meal size on the postprandial metabolic response and of digestion on the post-exercise metabolic recovery process were investigated in juvenile black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) . Experimental fish were forcedly fed with compound feed (meal sizes: 0.5%, 1% and 2% body weight). Then, the postprandial oxygen consumption rate and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) of the experimental fish were measured. Both the duration and the peak of oxygen consumption rate (PMR) increased with increasing meal size. The peak post-exercise metabolic rate of digesting fish were significantly higher, whereas EPOC magnitude and its duration were significantly smaller or (shorter) than those in the fasting fish. It is suggested that (1) this fish fulfills the increased energy demand during the digestive process by increasing PMR and by prolonging SDA duration with increasing meal size and (2) digesting fish might decrease their anaerobic exhaustive activity but increase the post-exercise recovery capacity.
