Abstract
The touristic expansion happens easier in a balanced climate, with standards that guarantee a constant ecologic balance and avoid the overuse of resources, pollution and any other negative impacts on the environment. MICE – Meeting, Incentive, Convention and Exhibition Industry – represents one of the industries with the highest rate of growth in the world, but unfortunately it is poorly developed in Romania. In Romania, the tourism, as a socio–economic phenomenon, integrates in the country’s economy, having the necessary conditions for accentuated growth and the optimisation of the degree of usage of the touristic stock. According to the recommendations of the World Tourism Organisation, Romania should focus on the cultural, ecologic, events and spa tourism. The prognosis of the World Tourism and Travel Council from the United States of America show that by the year 2020, the rhythm of growth of the business and events tourism in Romania will be of about 8% yearly. In this context, our country may occupy an important position in the MICE touristic activities market, if it would use the existing touristic potential and future investments in order to create favourable conditions for this type of tourism. We bring into the debate the existence of equipment which could help the business tourism, the presence of beautiful landscape areas (the Danube Delta, the Black Sea seaside, medieval cities and monasteries, touristic resorts from the Carpathians also.), presentation of the local folk traditions and crafts, the chromatic spectrum of the seasons in Romania and not lastly the folklore and gastronomy. These could be joined by the existence of a rich cultural life – especially in the large cities and touristic resorts-, the presence of museums and memorial houses, and we could not exclude the areas which have preserved their natural potential and rare fauna species. This work aims to emphasize business tourism as a sustainable form of tourism, which can lead to a relaunch in services and economic development of the local communities in a competitive international economy.
Entrepreneurship in the rural areas of Romania. The impact of the 2007-2013 EU funding programmes

Published: August 2017

Abstract
This paper contributes to the research on entrepreneurship in rural areas by focusing on the absorption and investment plans developed with European Funds and implemented in Romania in 2007-2013 for rural development. Entrepreneurship in the European Union is seen as the solution for creating and increasing jobs number, developing new business models, and is related very often with creativity and innovation. Moreover, entrepreneurship is directly linked to the economic performance of regions (Audretsch, D.B., Keilbach, M., 2005), poverty reduction and contributes to the economic advancement of rural communities. The focus on rural areas is given by the fact that almost half of the Romanian population lives in villages or communes (around 45%), and the main income source comes from agriculture. In the same time, there is an important potential for entrepreneurial projects because rural areas are high underdeveloped, there is a lack of services in major fields as education, social services, entertainment etc. Also, we find a high potential in tourism, especially in ecological, adventure or agro-tourism. We develop a theoretical framework to discuss the potential impact of EU Funds on rural development, the access to public funds for rural population, their readiness for business ownership, the most accessible fields for starting a business and regional variables. Our study is based on public data and official reports on the European Funds received by Romania in the budgetary period of 2007-2013 and other market data that round the entrepreneurship frame in rural areas. We analyze the number of start-ups financed by European funds, type and size of enterprises, number of jobs and reasons for contract cancellation. We find that regions with a reach cultural heritage and closer to the Western border have registered more applications and are more interested in self-employment, but also that given the administrative barriers many entrepreneurs decided to cancel the contracts.

Abstract
The education system in Romania will have to take into account the need to give people the skills and abilities needed to adapt quickly to changing labor markets. In the current context the study is based on comparative statistical analyses and correlations in the field of human resources in the higher educational system, analyses based on secondary data or information provided by the Romanian Statistical Yearbook published by the National Statistics Institute and other publications by public institutions in Romania such as: The National Bank, The Ministry of National Education, etc. The paper presents the major trends and shift in macroeconomic indicators specific to higher education and proposes a model to better understand the relationship between these indicators. In conclusion without continuous training and mobile resource salary comparable to those of EU countries, along with an infusion of capital proper, cannot achieve highly educated people well integrated, civilized, cultivated so as to reach sustainable growth on the long term. In this regard the Ministry of National Education and RQAAHE launched nationwide research projects involving both teaching staff in higher education, and the alumni and students. In order to decrease unemployment among young people (24-30 years) were involved in these projects and employers so that there is a better relationship between skills acquired in the continuous education and labor market; projects that are underway or to be implemented.

Published: August 2017

Abstract
Modified PVC (M-PVC) material with suppressed migration and low glass transition temperature was prepared via click reaction of a monooctyl phthalate derivative. Chemical structure and composition of M-PVC were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and element analysis. Thermal stability, glass transition temperature and migration stability of M-PVC were studied with TGA, DSC and migration tests, respectively. The study showed that M-PVC exhibited poor thermal stability, and low glass transition temperature of 66.0°C. No migration was found in distilled water, 10% (v/v) ethanol, 30% (w/v)acetic acid and petroleum ether. The PVC material is expected to preparing PVC products in the areas with high migration resistance requirement.

Published: August 2017

AbstractElectrochemical oxidation of ethanol becomes an important process of modern electrochemistry, due to its potential application into direct ethanol fuel cell technology. As rates of ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) are significantly enhanced in alkaline media, employment of highly corrosion resistant under alkaline conditions, but non-noble metals becomes of superior practical importance. This communication article reports on the process of anodic dissolution of platinum, which is investigated on Pt activated, electrooxidized nickel foam electrodes, employed for ethanol oxidation reaction in 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution. The above was revealed through the application of cyclic voltammetry and combined SEM/EDX (scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray) spectroscopy examinations.
Degradability of polylactide films by commercial microbiological preparations for household composters
Authors: Morawska Magda , Krasowska Katarzyna 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Environmentally friendly polymers such as polylactide are increasingly becoming available for use in packaging applications. The main advantages of polylactide packaging are evident. Polylactide is based on renewable resources and can be degraded in compost or soil. The studies on degradability of polylactide (PLA) films by commercial preparation of mixture of multi-active saprophytic soil microorganisms, bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi have been done. Unmodified PLA film, metalized co-extruded PLA film and modified by silicon oxide PLA film were incubated in the liquid nutritious medium (TSB) prepared to support the growth of microorganisms. The degradability of polylactide films was examined by macro and microscopic observations of surface, changes of mass and crystallinity of polymer samples before and after incubation. The obtained results indicate that the degradation of polylactide was accelerated by the presence of a biological vaccine. It was found that PLA degradation in the inoculated TSB broth was a result of both: enzymatic and chemical hydrolysis.
Umiru li kvalitetne novine?

Umiru li kvalitetne novine, a time i kvalitetno novinarstvo? Dvojba je to koja muči medijske djelatnike, teoretičare novinarstva, ali i pasionirane čitatelje novina koji se teško mire s najezdom tabloida i polaganim, ali konstantnim gašenjem kvalitetnih dnevnih listova.Pokazatelji su više nego loši. Većina kvalitetnih novina se gasi ili pak preživljava zahvaljujući svojim internetskim izdanjima. Velike novine u ve- likim zemljama se još nekako održavaju, ali male zemlje, osim časnih izu- zetaka, gube, jedna po jedna, svoje kvalitetne novine. Male zemlje nemaju dovoljno jako gospodarstvo i, što je važnije, dovoljnu publiku koja želi, ali i može kupovati novine svakog dana.U Hrvatskoj, prema podacima MZOS, ima 18% visoko obrazovanih stanovnika, koji su potencijalni kupci kvalitetnih novina. Nije to puno na 4.5 milijuna stanovnika. A većina živi od prosječne plaće koja ne omogućuje kupnju novina. Nije čudno što su sve novine pobjegle u senzacionalizam kako bi privukle potencijalne kupce. Nije čudno što se ugasio i Vjesnik, po- sljednje ozbiljne novine, ma što god mi mislili o njima.No u plimi loših vijesti i negativnih vibracija, javljaju se neki novi, iznenađujući tonovi. Warren Buffet, američki magnat, uložio je nedavno više od 500 milijuna dolara u novine! A bio je poznat po izreci “nikad više u novine” kada je odlučivao o svojim investicijama.Uprava francuske nakladničke tvrtke La Provence, ne misli da su no- vine u krizi, već da se treba prilagoditi promjenama na tržištu. I, ne boje se budućnosti.Sve su bili razlozi koji su nagnali uredništvo da temu broja posveti sudbini kvalitetnih novina, a time i kvalitetnog novinarstva. Imamo teksto- ve troje medijskih stručnjaka, profesora novinarstva, ali i bivših novinara, koji promišljanju o sudbini novina u njihovim zemljama.Na nama je da zaključimo kako se to odražava na stanje novina i no- vinarstva u Hrvatskoj.
The Skeleton in the Closet: Harvesting a Skeletonized IMA
Authors: Tribble Curtis G 
Published: August 2017

There is a considerable amount of data that using more than one arterial graft provides a survival advantage for patients undergoing coronary bypass operations. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons has a set of official guidelines for the use of arterial grafts which include the following recommendations:Internal mammary arteries (IMA’s) should be used to bypass the left anterior descending (LAD) artery when bypass of the LAD is indicated.As an adjunct to left internal mammary artery (LIMA), a second arterial graft (right IMA or radial artery [RA]) should be considered in appropriate patients.Use of bilateral IMA’s (BIMA’s) should be considered in patients who do not have an excessive risk of sternal complications.To reduce the risk of sternal infection with bilateral IMA’s, skeletonized grafts should be considered, smoking cessation is recommended, glycemic control should be considered, and enhanced sternal stabilization may be considered.Use of arterial grafts should be a part of the discussion of the heart team in determining the optimal approach for each patient.

This Policy Statement was reaffirmed October 2022.
High-quality home-visiting services for infants and young children can improve family relationships, advance school readiness, reduce child maltreatment, improve maternal-infant health outcomes, and increase family economic self-sufficiency. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports unwavering federal funding of state home-visiting initiatives, the expansion of evidence-based programs, and a robust, coordinated national evaluation designed to confirm best practices and cost-efficiency. Community home visiting is most effective as a component of a comprehensive early childhood system that actively includes and enhances a family-centered medical home.

Published: August 2017

Background: Post partum haemorrhage is the most common cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin analogue, used for management of post partum haemorrhage. It can be used by various routes with minimal side effects. This study is done to compare the different routes of administration of Misoprostol for the third stage management and their side effects. Objectives of present study were to estimate the amount of blood loss, to assess the maternal side effects of drug, to know the haemoglobin deficit, to know the duration of third stage of labour.Methods: This was a prospective hospital base study of 150 women delivery at obstetrics and gynaecology department at ESICMC Model Hospital, Rajajinagar. They were randomized into 3 groups of 50 patients each. They received 400 µg of misoprostol either orally or rectally or sublingually immediately after delivery of the fetus. The primary outcomes analysed were amount of blood loss duration of third stage of labour haemoglobin deficit and their side effectsResults: The amount of blood loss and haemoglobin deficit was least in sublingual group which was statistically significant. Need of additional oxytocics was less in sublingual and oral group, though it was not statistically significant.Conclusions: In the present study, sublingual Misoprostol was found to be more effective in reducing blood loss during third stage of labour.

Background: Difficult fetal extraction occurs in 1-2% of caesarean deliveries. Either forceps or a vaccum device is often used to assist in delivery of the fetal head in cesarean section in high floating/mobile fetal head. This study compare the safety (for mother and fetus) and efficacy of forceps and vacuum assisted delivery of high floating/mobile fetal head with the traditional method of manual extraction at caesarean section.Methods: The sample size included 100 cases of LSCS with manual extraction of fetal head, 100 cases of LSCS with forceps assisted extraction of fetal head and 100 cases of LSCS with vacuum assisted extraction of fetal head.Results: Application of fundal pressure was required in all cases of manual extraction group, in 51 cases of forceps extraction group. None of the cases of vacuum extraction group required application of fundal pressure. The U-D interval in manual extraction group was 90.56±4.91 seconds, in forceps extraction group was 70.2±5.02 seconds and in the vacuum extraction group it was 62.3±2.03 seconds. In the manual extraction group, there was an estimated blood loss of 428±69.38 ml, 579±97.22 ml of estimated blood loss was present in forceps extraction group and in the vacuum extraction group it was 454±66.92 ml.Conclusions: This study reveals that with use of vacuum in CS for delivery of floating head, is superior than application of forceps and manual delivery in relation to time, blood loss and fundal pressure without any adverse effect on neonates and maternal complication.

Published: August 2017

La bacteremia secundaria a los procedimientos dentales puede dar origen a episodios de endocarditis infecciosa. La implementación de la profilaxis antimicrobiana tiene como finalidad aminorar la bacteremia transitoria reduciendo la posibilidad de desarrollar endocarditis infecciosa, por lo que es indispensable conocer qué antibióticos son de elección y en qué casos o situaciones administrarlos u omitirlos. Existen múltiples guías para aplicar profilaxis antimicrobiana, éstas difieren en sus recomendaciones, a tal grado que pueden confundir al facultativo al momento de determinar si el paciente requiere antibiótico profiláctico y a elegir el antimicrobiano adecuado. OBJETIVO: comparar las diferentes guías de profilaxis antimicrobiana y recomendaciones para converger en una recopilación única con las aportaciones destacadas de cada guía revisada; de la misma manera, exponer el régimen utilizado en nuestra institución por el servicio de estomatología. CONCLUSIÓN: el estomatólogo se puede basar principalmente en las guías de la American Heart Association (AHA) y el Centro Nacional de Excelencia Tecnológica en Salud (CENETEC) para condiciones cardiacas que ameriten profilaxis antimicrobiana, y para pacientes con enfermedades sistémicas sobre la guía de la American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) y las recomendaciones de nuestra institución. La administración de profilaxis antimicrobiana se da por razones científicas consolidadas y por carácter de tipo médico-legal, en un futuro se espera establecer criterios para aumentar los métodos no antibióticos preventivos de endocarditis infecciosa y aminorar el uso de antimicrobianos, reduciendo el uso de antibiótico profiláctico, sin exponer al paciente a infecciones diseminadas y con mínimos efectos secundarios posibles.
Traditional Anishinabe Healing in a Clinical Setting: The Development of an Aboriginal Interdisciplinary Approach to Community-based Aboriginal Mental Health Care
Authors: Maar Marion A. , Shawande Marjory 
Published: August 2017

Traditional medicine has been practiced by Aboriginal people for thousands of years at the community level. It is still practiced today outside of the mainstream health system by many Aboriginal people. However, providing this type of care in a clinical, health centre setting and in co-operation with western treatment methods is new, and requires a merging of traditional Aboriginal and western medical world views in order to develop protocols for service delivery that ensure the integrity of both systems. The groundwork required to ensure the safety of clients, providers, and organizations within the new integrated system is still largely undocumented. To address this gap, we studied factors that support the successful integration of traditional Aboriginal healing and western mental health care approaches, and document the experiences of clients and providers. To accomplish this we contextualize 10 years of experience of traditional healing services development with in-depth interviews and focus groups with 17 community service providers and 23 clients. We found that the development of traditional healing protocols, inter-professional education for providers and community members and a focus on client access to traditional Anishinabe health services provide the basis for the integration of western and traditional healing practices in the model under study. Our findings show integrated care resulted in positive experiences for clients and providers. We conclude that traditional healing approaches can be successfully integrated with clinical mental health services. Further research is necessary to improve our understanding of client experiences with this integrated approach and the impact on wholistic health and well-being.
