Crisis educativas y emergencias sociales. Desafíos para la construcción de futuros comunes
Authors: Miranda David G.
Published: February 2025

Michael Apple señalaba en su libro “¿Puede la educación cambiar la sociedad?” (sugerente título no?), lo siguiente (cito): “Sería muy erróneo considerar a las escuelas como distintas de la «sociedad». Como lugares de trabajo remunerado, son partes integrantes de la economía. Como lugares de trabajo diferenciados, reconstituyen (y a veces desafían) las jerarquías de clase, género, raza y «capacidad». Como instituciones que históricamente han servido como motores de movilidad de clase”. Entonces, bajo la lúcida mirada de Apple, no existe una barrera clara entre la educación y la sociedad, sino que se trata de un sistema (vital para la humanidad) que da soporte a la vida social. A partir de ello, para abordar los problemas educativos, no podemos hacer otra cosa que intentar comprender los problemas sociales, y abordarlos de forma conjunta.Más aún, Apple señala cómo en zonas de guerra, como lo fue Sarajevo, o como puede ocurrir hoy en Gaza o el Líbano, las personas seguían levantando escuelas para sus hijos a fin de mantener su pasado vivo y construir un futuro mejor. Miembros de la comunidad, activistas, maestros, estudiantes y muchos más se movilizarán y sacrificarán colectivamente para crear instituciones educacionales sensibles, incluso en condiciones destructivas y desastrosas. Una vez más, aquí hay una palabra clave: colectivamente. En el caso de Chile, nuestras crisis sociales se anclan en un sistema de acumulación que, al igual que es capaz de erigir rascacielos en Sanhattan, y elevar el nivel de vida de ciertos barrios a niveles de países de primer mundo, su sombra parece alargarse por un vasto y extenso territorio, tal como sucede durante el ocaso, cuando las sombras de los rascacielos se alargan hasta lo impensado. Según Apple, se podría resistir el ataque del neoliberalismo a partir de las identidades colectivas y a las experiencias educativas arraigadas en la defensa y recreación de tales identidades. El problema sería entonces definir quiénes somos (como país, como comunidades, o pueblos), o más aún, quienes queremos ser.Al parecer, responder una pregunta de ese calibre puede desorientar hasta al más experimentado paciente de una buena psicoterapia. Ello podría ejemplificar cómo el arduo debate se desarrolló en el caso de la educación en el reciente debate constitucional, motivado por lo que conocimos como un "estallido social", o para algunos, "la revuelta social", proceso que si bien no resulto del todo fructífero en términos políticos, nos permitió constatar el potencial y la magnitud de las crisis sociales que han ido gestando en nuestro modelo de desarrollo económico, territorial y educativo.

Europe is at a make-or-break moment in the global AI race, squeezed between the massive venture capital and tech giants in the US and China’s scale-oriented, top-down drive. At this tipping point, where the convergence of AI with complementary and synergistic technologies, like quantum computing, biotech, VR/AR, 5G/6G, robotics, advanced materials, and high-performance computing, could upend geopolitical balances, Europe needs to rethink its AI-related strategy. On the heels of the AI Action Summit 2025 in Paris, we present a sharp, doable strategy that builds upon Europe’s strengths and closes gaps.
Gender Differentials in Working Duration Among Child Labour in Odisha, India
Authors: Narzary Pralip Kumar
Published: February 2025

Child labours are the victim of crushing poverty fighting for survival at an early age. Female child labours are doubly disadvantaged due to their working status and existing gender discrimination. This paper attempts to investigate into the gender differentials in working duration among child labour in Odisha by taking National Family Health Survey 2005–06 data. Although there is no apparent gender differential in terms of percentage of working, but differential in working duration is quite evident. The gender differential in duration of overall working slackens at the higher age group, whereas the differential widens in terms of engagement in household chores by age. Irrespective of socio-economic condition of the household, the gender differentials in child labour persists in Odisha. Existing policies to eliminate child labour may be gender sensitized and stringently implemented.
A Note on Sample Design
Authors: Suwal Bhim Raj
Published: February 2025

As a most scientific approach to sampling, probability sampling has been a common tool for conducting general household survey. Sample design generally refers to the way in which population elements are included in the sample. In this regard, two contrasting approaches to sample design - element and cluster - have been evolved. At the same time, sample design also has to take into account the various population sub-groups through stratification process. When the concept of stratification involves in sampling, four basic forms of sample designs applicable to general household survey can be envisaged. With this, sampling and estimation process tends to be more complex and a single method to sample selection, evaluation of sample design and estimation do not work. In this context, based on the available literatures and author’s own work experience on sampling, this article describes various types of sample design for large-scale general household survey, methods of evaluating their efficiency, and the process of sample selection and estimation.

Deception, Desire, and Society in Restoration Comedy "The Country Wife"
Authors: Gol Man Gurung
Published: February 2025

The Restoration libertines were the successors of the Lucretian philosophical tradition, which emphasized the pursuit of physical and sensory pleasure in life. The primary objective of the libertines was to attain sexual pleasure by emancipating sexuality from societal constraints and the institution of marriage. In The Country Wife, a Restoration comedy by William Wycherley, the play's lewd humor and fast-paced plot center around a rake named Horner who feigns impotence to seduce women in the city. The story unfolds with elements of deception, jealousy, and societal critique, reflecting the Restoration period's focus on leisure and the arts. Through witty dialogue and sexual innuendos, the play explores the complexities of relationships and societal norms, challenging Puritan ideals and emphasizing the pursuit of pleasure and entertainment. The narrative unfolds with Horner orchestrating various schemes to pursue romantic interests while navigating the intrigues of high society. The juxtaposition of city life with country innocence adds depth to the characters' motivations and actions, creating a comical yet insightful commentary on human nature and desire during the Restoration era. Overall, The Country Wife remains a classic example of Restoration comedy, blending satire, humor, and social commentary to entertain and provoke thought among audiences.
Challenges and Opportunities of Continuing Girl's Education in Nepal
Authors: Narayan Prasad Belbase
Published: February 2025

Girls’ education in Nepal, particularly in rural areas, remains a significant challenge despite various national and international efforts to promote girls’ education. This study aims to examine the socio-cultural, economic, and institutional factors that have affected girls’ education in rural areas. The data were collected from five community schools using a mixed-method approach. Formal and informal communications with students, parents, teachers, and community members were employed to make the description concise and precise. Quantitative data were collected from surveys, and qualitative insights were obtained from interviews, focus group discussions, and observations. The finding revealed that deeply rooted sociocultural norms, economic hardships, and gender-based discrimination are the primary barriers to girls' education. More household responsibilities, less priority for school education, and frequently subjected to early marriage against the law are the hindering factors of girls' education. Regardless of the government’s free education policy, many families cannot afford supplementary educational costs like uniforms and stationery. Gender stereotypes favoring sons over daughters, insufficient female teachers, and a less supportive school environment have maintained dropout rates. The study highlights critical strategies to address these challenges, including raising community awareness about the value of girls’ education, providing scholarships, ensuring access to free educational materials, increasing female representation among teachers, and implementing empowerment programs. These interventions, with gender equality policies, can mitigate the barriers and foster a supportive environment for girls’ education. The research contributes to the broader discourse on educational equity and emphasizes the transformative potential of targeted, context-sentiment interventions in advancing girls’ education in Nepal.
Comparative Study of Nepal's Interest Convergence with India and China at the United Nations
Authors: Sharma Poudel Santosh
Published: February 2025

India and China are Nepal’s immediate neighbors, sharing borders with the country. Nepal’s relationships with India and China are undeniably its two most significant and consequential bilateral partnerships. While Nepal’s engagement with New Delhi and Beijing is grounded in mutual interests, maintaining a balanced relationship with both neighbors has been a central theme of Nepal’s foreign policy. However, there remains a lack of clarity regarding the specific areas of mutual interest.
One effective way to evaluate these areas is by analyzing their behavior at the United Nations (UN). Each year, hundreds of resolutions addressing a wide range of global issues are voted upon at the UN General Assembly (UNGA). Examining voting patterns can reveal areas of interest convergence (or divergence). To this end, this paper analyzes all resolutions passed by the UNGA via vote since 1972 across eight key areas: arms control, climate change, democracy, development, global law and order, globalization, human rights, and migration.
Nepal participates more actively and almost always positively in UNGA voting compared to its neighbors. Of the 3,035 UNGA resolutions analyzed in this study, Nepal and China voted identically (Yes/Yes or No/No) 72.3% of the time, while Nepal and India voted identically 74.3% of the time. Conversely, Nepal and China voted oppositely (Yes/No or No/Yes) only 3.5% of the time, and Nepal and India did so 3.7% of the time. Overall, Nepal demonstrates significant interest convergence with both India and China.
The convergence score was 0.9 or higher in areas such as climate change, democracy, development, global law and order, and migration. However, it was lowest in arms control (0.77 with China and 0.71 with India), with the most notable divergence occurring on issues related to nuclear non-proliferation.
This research highlights that Nepal shares deep interest convergence with its neighbors on most global issues. By leveraging these areas of mutual interest, Nepal stands to gain significantly in advancing both its national and global interests.

The University of Borneo Tarakan, like many Indonesian universities, is committed to continuous quality improvement in education services. A crucial aspect of this improvement is gathering and analyzing student feedback to enhance lecturer performance. This research focuses on analyzing student comments using sentiment analysis, a technique that categorizes text into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. To achieve this, two machine learning algorithms were employed: Decision Trees and Support Vector Machines (SVM).

The research involved two approaches: Lexicon-Based Sentiment Analysis and TF-IDF word weighting. The Lexicon-Based approach compared the automated sentiment classification with manual human categorization to assess accuracy. The TF-IDF method, on the other hand, aimed to improve classification accuracy by assigning weights to words based on their frequency and importance. The experimental results demonstrated that Decision Trees outperformed SVM in terms of classification accuracy, achieving 95.454546% compared to 94.805194%. This finding suggests that Decision Trees  is a more effective technique for sentiment analysis of student comments in this specific

Published: February 2025

Human body anatomy is a science that studies the structure of the human body. The anatomy of the human body is composed of cells, tissues, organs and organ systems. Organ systems are the parts that make up the human body. This system consists of various types of organs, which have special structures and functions. Each organ system depends on each other, both directly and indirectly. So far, students have studied body anatomy using books as reference material, making it difficult to explore real objects. Therefore, to make it easier for students to understand the complex anatomy of the body, especially the internal organs of the human body, an Android-based Augmented Reality Book application was developed as a learning media tool. This application makes it easier for students to understand the shape and space of human anatomy using a smartphone. Making this application uses Unity as an application editor, Blender is used to create three-dimensional models and Vuforia as image tracker software

As a result of well drilling, a geological sample recovery was taken as a cylindrical rock sample. This rock sample core would be used for further study of the conditions of occurrence of ore minerals. The great practical importance of supplying reliability and representativeness of geological surveys is the assessment of drilling quality and effectiveness. We were attempting to study the core recovery measuring ways for efficiency estimating of drilling for solid minerals, which will be submitted in this article. Also analyzed existing methods, their advantages and disadvantages. The RQD (Rock Quality Designation) measuring method we suggest as criteria is the best way of unbiased effectiveness assessment. It is necessary to closely research the lithological section finished by drilling wells, and the geological, technical and hydrogeological conditions of the explored fields to solve economic efficiency at the down-the-hole cleaning method. In-depth study methodology of the main elements of the “diamond bit-rock” pair and the conditions of the normal drilling process can be the basis for successful implementation of geological tasks by drilling personnel. Currently uses three main methods of core recovery measuring (linear, volume, weight). However, they did not consider coefficients of fragmentation, fracturing and loosening and that is why the RQD method has a clear advantage over the traditionally used methods. The RQD method has already been successfully introduced to the geological exploration sites of the Ministry of Mining Industry and Geology of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

In the current context of the energy industry, effective management of residual reserves of fields at late stages of development is becoming a matter of critical importance. Residual oil reserves play a key role not only in ensuring energy security but also in the formation of economic sustainability of regions and countries. One of the main aspects of residual reserves management is forecasting their involvement in development at the later stages of the field life cycle. The presence of old fields, for which the construction of a GHDM is inappropriate, determines the use of various analytical and mathematical models in the analysis and design of development. The variety of such models is great, which allows them to be applied to various fields and at various stages of development. Of the many numerical models, we can highlight those that are distinguished by: ease of use; absence of complex physical and technological formulas; wide applicability for various categories of deposits; as well as the absence of the need for a detailed study of the geological and physical characteristics of the deposit. In our case, we are talking about displacement characteristics (hereinafter referred to as DC), which are a powerful data analysis tool that makes it possible to identify patterns and trends in changes in residual reserves. The use of statistical models allows us not only to assess the current state of residual reserves but also to predict their behavior in the future, which is a key element of effective production management.

Interest in composite refractory ZrO2 – Al2O3 ceramics is due to the great prospects for their use in extreme conditions (radiation exposure, thermal cycling, exposure to aggressive environments) due to the high resistance to external influences of these ceramics. Moreover, the features of high resistance to external influences for this type of ceramics are due to their structural features and phase composition, which are controlled by the synthesis method and its conditions. This paper presents the results of studying the influence of variations in the annealing temperature of ZrO2 – Al2O3 ceramics obtained by solid-phase synthesis, as well as establishing the effect of variations in the phase composition on strengthening and resistance to thermal cycling. In the course of the research, using the X-ray phase analysis method, it was found that at temperatures above 1200 °C, the formation of an impurity substitution phase of the AlZrO2 type is observed, the formation of which leads to strengthening and increased resistance to external influences. For ZrO2 – Al2O3 ceramic samples, in which the AlZrO2 phase content was about 15-20 % (samples obtained at annealing temperatures of 1400 – 1500 °C), the change in strength characteristics after 5 successive cycles was less than 3 %, which is more than 9 times lower than the similar change for two-phase samples obtained at an annealing temperature of 1000 °C.

Education, in obedience to its nature of being a social and a public service, is related to a lot of variables, which generate a background of problems and opportunities for the continuous improvement of the process. Improvement that all the actors want to get based on the pretext of ensuring gradually the desired quality.By the way, one of the main difficulties found, are related to the results obtained from the evaluation processes applied. In most cases, neither teachers nor students are really satisfied. This leads to the search for new strategies of collective work that will create a better learning environment and at the same time motivate students to appropriate the knowledge they need to face the reality that the environment offers them; and teachers to ensure greater relevance of the evaluation processes with the reality to which they belong.Based on this educational challenge, the information and communications technology - ICTs become significant for an extra ingredient to class work, learning, evaluation resource. If they have become an important part of everyday life, then why not use them to improve the educational act.This work systematizes the experience carried out in the Educational Institution Villa Santana. Experience is a field in which some tools for the development of the theme of fractional numbers in the fifth grade and the deployment of some conventional and unconventional teaching strategies were used, and then measure their impact from the results along the assessment process.

Authors: Che Azemin Mohd Zulfaezal , Mohd Tamrin Mohd Izzuddin
Published: February 2025

Segmentation of the retinal vessels is extremely useful and very important in the diagnosis and management of various diseases associated with the eye, including diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. The work has presented an improved methodology using an IS-Net model trained on the high-resolution FIVES dataset, including 800 annotated images of the retina. This paper therefore resolves the proposed approach by pre-processing, which consists of normalizing and performing horizontal flipping, followed by enhancement using IS-Net and histogram-based thresholding criteria for vessel structure binarization. The IS-Net architecture is designed with multi-scale RSU blocks to capture both fine and broad vessel details comprehensively for segmentation. Results have shown that IS-Net achieves a good balance in recall and specificity, with the F1 score high enough to outperform other models in terms of specificity by reducing false positives. These findings underlined the effectiveness of IS-Net for clinical applications and emphasized the value of high-resolution data for refinement in the performance of segmentation.

Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the pandemic on marital relationships and sexual life. This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between 20 November 2020 and 31 January 2021 nationwide in Turkey by using an online survey form. A “Participant Information Form” developed by the researchers by reviewing the literature was used to collect data. The study included 417 women with a mean age of 32.37±6.41 years and an average marriage duration of 7.84±7.07 years. It was determined that the sexual intercourse frequency of the women decreased in the COVID-19 pandemic period in comparison to before the pandemic (P<0,001). Women who were separated from their spouses due to the risk of transmission, whose marital relationship and sexual life were negatively affected by COVID-19, or whose spouses had sexual problems, showed a statistically significant decrease in the frequency of sexual intercourse (p < 0.05). Among women whose marriage was negatively affected by COVID-19, 47.3% reported changes in the frequency of sexual intercourse, 36.3% in vaginal lubrication, 31.9% in orgasm frequency, 44% in sexual satisfaction, 18.7% in pain or discomfort during intercourse, and 14.3% experienced differences in the presence of sexual problems in their spouse (p < 0.05). A significant relationship was found between the effect of COVID-19 on marriage and sexual desire, with 53.8% of women whose marriage was negatively affected by COVID-19 reporting changes in sexual desire (p<0,001). It was concluded that, in the COVID-19 pandemic period, the sexual intercourse frequency of the women decreased, their relationships with their spouses and sexual functions were negatively affected, and their statuses of COVID-19 affecting their marriage were related to their sexual functions.

It emphasizes the shift in approach towards people with disabilities – from a paternalistic model to recognizing them as fully-fledged members of society, which entails guaranteeing their right to work. The article aims to analyze state support measures for the employment of people with disabilities and the development of inclusive enterprises in Ukraine. It highlights the importance of addressing social issues not only by creating accessible goods and services, but also by raising living standards and creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities. International experience in creating a barrier-free environment and the main directions of work in this area, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the analysis of domestic legislation on the protection of the rights of people with disabilities, including the right to work. Existing mechanisms for providing jobs for people with disabilities, such as establishing job quotas, are considered. The article describes benefits and types of state aid for employers who hire people with disabilities, including financial assistance, grants, loans, preferential single social contribution rates, wage compensation, and preferential taxation for public associations of people with disabilities Positive trends, such as the spread of remote work, which simplifies the employment process for some categories of people with disabilities, are noted. The need to strengthen state support for inclusive entrepreneurship and the employment of people with disabilities, especially in wartime, given the significant number of people with disabilities in Ukraine and their low employment rate, is emphasize. To stimulate inclusive entrepreneurship, the government should work on improving the legislative framework, consider expanding tax benefits and facilitating access to credit resources, namely: introducing incentive programs for enterprises that employ IDPs and veterans and simplifying the registration procedures for inclusive enterprises. An important factor in the development of inclusive entrepreneurship is international investments and programs from international donors. These projects are implemented in education and the provision of consulting services, which will promote economic activity of vulnerable segments of the population.

Вплив логістики на російсько-українську війну
Authors: Ганненко Ю. , Топік Г.
Published: February 2025

Логістика є ключовим елементом забезпечення збройних сил озброєнням і військовою технікою, ракетами і боєприпасами, продовольством і майном, паливно-мастильними матеріалами, а також транспортуванням усіх вищезазначених матеріальних засобів. Важливість проведення успішної операції (бойових дій) залежить від постачання матеріальних засобів, тобто від логістики.
Метою статті є аналіз функціонування логістики Збройних сил України та матеріально-технічного забезпечення Російської Федерації під час російсько-української війни, а також вплив логістики на ведення операцій.
Розглянуто функції логістики: матеріальне, технічне, транспортне та інфраструктурне забезпечення. Матеріально-технічне забезпечення у Збройних Силах України та російської федерації до 2014 року було однотипним і принципово не відрізнялося через спадковість забезпечення військ (сил).
Однією з причин зниження темпів вторгнення російської армії є незадовільне матеріальне забезпечення та низький рівень матеріально-технічного забезпечення російських військ. Дуже часто російська військова техніка зупинялася через нестачу пального та боєприпасів, особовий склад залишався без їжі та опалення, внаслідок чого військові були деморалізовані та під постійним вогнем не могли виконувати поставлені бойові завдання, завдяки професійним майстерності українських військ.
Під час бойових дій на початковому етапі вторгнення Збройні Сили України дуже ефективно використовували матеріально-технічну слабкість і прорахунки РФ на свою користь: чим глибше війська противника втягувалися в територію України, тим більше шляхів матеріально-технічного постачання були розтягнуті.
Створення сучасної, вдосконаленої системи логістики Збройних Сил України відіграє позитивну роль у забезпеченні Збройних Сил під час повномасштабного вторгнення російських військ на територію України.

Із здобуттям Україною незалежності, утворенням власних Збройних Сил у нашій державі були визначені основи мобілізаційної підготовки та мобілізації. Зазначені основи базувалась на мобілізаційній системі бувшого СРСР. Однак вона мала і низку особливостей пов’язаних в основному з тим, що Україна набула статусу “суверенної і незалежної, демократичної, соціальної, правової держави”. Досвід проведених мобілізаційних навчань (тренувань) показує, що на той час організація мобілізаційної підготовки та мобілізації у значній мірі задовольняла потреби Збройних Сил України і Воєнної організації держави у цілому.
Проведений аналіз стану мобілізаційної підготовки в Україні, хід проведення мобілізації в умовах агресії РФ проти України показує, що часткові заходи для її покращення на сьогодні вже не вирішують нагальні проблеми.
У статті на основі аналізу вітчизняного законодавства, досвіду проведення мобілізації в Україні висвітлюються проблеми, що виникли у цій сфері та з урахуванням особистого службового досвіду надаються рекомендації щодо реформування мобілізаційної підготовки та мобілізації в Збройних Силах України за умов широкомасштабної збройної агресії Російської Федерації, що триває.
Розкриваються поняття  “мобілізаційна підготовка”, “мобілізація”, “система забезпечення мобілізаційної підготовки та мобілізації” “план мобілізаційної підготовки”. Надаються рекомендації щодо проведення організаційних та структурних заходів у Міноборони та Збройних Силах України для підвищення рівня функціонування системи забезпечення мобілізаційної підготовки та мобілізації.

The replacement of old, fossil fuel-based heating systems is of paramount importance. In households of the European Union, space heating accounts for the largest share of final energy consumption, making the method of heat production critical. Various studies estimate that approximately 120 million buildings in the EU require some form of refurbishment, either passive or active, to comply with the latest energy performance directives. Existing regulations focus primarily on efficiency and aim to reduce heat losses, suggesting the replacement of outdated systems and the upgrading of building envelopes. However, they rarely consider the environmental impact of other life cycle stages except use stage of the newly installed building elements. This situation may escalate to the point where considering the whole life cycle of an improvement or replacement is no longer justified solely by emissions and energy use. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, and its localized regulations in Hungary impose criteria that require the renovation of existing buildings, often making compliance achievable only through heating system replacements. Hence, this study investigates the background of heating system changes in a small traditional flat, assessing their benefits in terms of emissions and energy use over the full life cycle.

Background: Extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), carbapenemases and MRSA producing organisms led to serious concern about septicaemic neonates in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) due to high resistance against commonly used antimicrobial agents.
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to assess the prevalence and resistance pattern of ESBL, carbapenemases (MBL) and MRSA producing organisms isolated from cases of neonatal septicaemia at a tertiary care hospital Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology at Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh and samples were collected from the NICU of Department of Paediatrics at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh, from the period of July 2015 to June 2016, included neonates with suspected septicemia. Susceptibility testing was done by disc diffusion and MIC methods. All Isolates were screened for ESBL, MBL and MRSA production by phenotypic methods and genes encoding mecA, PVL among the MRSA strains, blaCTX-M-15, blaOXA-1 among phenotypically confirmed ESBLs producers and class A (KPC), class B (NDM-1, VIM, IMP), class D (OXA-48, OXA-181) carbapenemases among meropenem resistant isolates were detected by PCR.
Results: Out of 200 neonates, 106(53%) were culture positive among them 18 (31.03%) were ESBL producers. Rate of resistance was highest for ampicillin, cephalosporins and aminoglycosides. Twelve (66.67%) ESBL producers were positive for blaCTX-M-15 and 6 (33.33%) were positive for blaOXA-1 with consensus primers. Twenty-two (56.41%) carbapenemases encoding genes were detected and all were resistant to 3rd generation cephalosporins, amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid, gentamicin, cefoxitin, carbapenems and netilmycin. Fifteen (62.50%) MRSA were detected and all were mecA gene positive, 4 (26.67%) were positive for PVL gene, all MRSA were sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid.
Conclusion: In conclusion it has found that ESBL, carbapenemase and MRSA producers in NICU are resistant to classical empirical therapy.
