Extensive Body

The International Air Transport Association recognizes that “the airline is responsible for carrying its passengers safely and efficiently to the destination,” yet “the airline has no real means of ensuring that all passengers are fit to begin their journey.”1 There exists an extensive body of work, including textbooks and guidelines,2–4 to support prehospital in-flight care. These references deal with the challenges of emergent and elective aeromedical transport and repatriation, as would be confronted by a flight physician or flight nurse. This chapter, on the other hand, aims to support the anesthesia practitioner with a clinic or hospital-based practice, highlighting important factors to consider should he or she be called on to provide medical care and advice incidentally while on an aircraft as a passenger.

Partial Damage

This paper analyzes the civil responsibility of air transport carriers in accordance with the “Unification Convention Rules for International Air Transportation”. The matter of civil responsibility is a complicated and conflicting theme for analysis due to the difficulty even greater to the additional problem of having to define responsibilities when a disaster of great proportions takes place. Contrary to other modes of transportation, in the case of air transport there is rarely partial damage (when an accident occurs), therefore it is important to remember that in an aeronautical accident, the damages (or sinister) are not partial, they are total. On the other hand, should be considered that the airline industry is global, in which parts of a whole can come from distant countries involving partners from different countries with different realities and legal liability. The existence of joint responsibility of partners involved in the airline industry is what is meant to identify with this article.

Considerable Detail

In speaking to you to-night on the Economics of Air Line Operation, I propose to speak primarily from the viewpoint of the operator of an internal air line. I do not mean, by that, that I shall confine my remarks strictly to the various problems encountered by my own particular company, nor do I mean that any opinions which I may express will, of necessity, be of interest only to operators of internal services. On the other hand, I do not intend to venture into the realms of very long distance air routes, such as Empire routes, many of the problems connected with which have already been dealt with in considerable detail by Mr. Woods Humphrey in his interesting series of articles in The Times in May of this year. Such small experience as I have had so far with international flying has convinced me that the political difficulties, which are undoubtedly encountered by many of the national air transport companies, must force upon them policies other than those dictated by strictly economic requirements, and in consequence, must render a true comparison between their operation and purely European flying almost impossible.

AbstractThe paper deals with the uncertainty of the operated system’s possible states hybrid combined optional functions. Traditionally, the probabilities of the system’s possible states are treated as the reliability measures. However, in the framework of the proposed doctrine, the optimality (for example, the maximal probability of the system’s state) is determined based upon a plausible assumption of the intrinsic objectively existing parameters. The two entropy theory wings consider on one hand the subjective preferences functions in subjective analysis, concerning the multi-alternativeness of the operational situation at an individual’s choice problems, and on the other hand the objectively existing characteristics used in theoretical physics. The discussed in the paper entropy paradigm proceeds with the objectively presented phenomena of the state’s probability and the probability’s maximum. The theoretical speculations and mathematical derivations are illustrated with the necessary plotted diagrams.

The Right

The aim of the article is to assess the admissibility of a medical staff strike from the perspective of the employees’, employers’, and social interest. The applicable labor law regulations do not give an unambiguous answer to the question whether medical workers have the right to strike, since striking is a special instrumentality for employees to protect their rights. On the one hand, the labor law does not literally deprive medical staff of the right to strike. On the other hand, there are numerous arguments supporting the notion that a strike of medical staff causes a threat to the health and life of patients who are deprived of medical care during a strike. Regulating the issue is therefore of significant importance, not only social, but also to the employment relationship parties.

No setor de transportes a literatura registra aplicações em ligações aéreas e em serviços intermunicipais de ônibus. Os modelos de participação de mercado se aplicam normalmente a situações em que os operadores oferecem serviços de transportes similares num determinado mercado, com a competição sendo feita não com base em atributos modais intrínsecos, mas sim apoiada em características diferenciadoras intra-modais mais tênues, tais como conforto, atendimento, promoções tarifárias, "marketing" e propaganda, etc. Neste artigo é feita uma introdução aos modelos de "market share" em transportes, com a apresentação de um exemplo de aplicação ao transporte intermunicipal de passageiros em ônibus, sendo discutidos também aspectos ligados a calibração e tais modelos.</p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>Market share analysis is common in marketing studies involving products and respective brands, on one hand, the demand profile on the other hand, and the competiting industries on a third set. In the transport sector the literature registers a number of applications to air transport problems and to intercity bus services. Market share models are normally applied to situations in which operators offer, in a specific market, transport services that are similar in nature, with competition based not on intrinsic modal attributes, but rather on more tenous intra-mode differentiating characteristics, such as comfort, attendance, tariff promotions, marketing and advertising efforts, etc (sub-modal configurations). It is presented in this paper an introduction to market share modelling in transport, with an example concerning an intercity bus service in Brazil. Aspects related to the calibration and practical use of such models are also discussed in the text.</p>

Taking Care

This article explores the connection between care and loss in Philippe Forest’s work by drawing on the etymological origins of care and on contemporary French writing on the ethics of care. On the one hand, care in Forest comes to stand for the technical taking care of a patient in the medical setting as well as for caring for and about his dying child specifically. On the other hand, the practice of writing about the loss of his daughter turns into a form of long-term caring for both his dead daughter and her surviving father. This continued attention to a relationship built around loss is, according to Forest, missing in practices of medical care supposedly meant to acknowledge death. The article argues that engaging with loss is key to the practice of care, even if, as Forest’s more recent work shows, this engagement also entails documenting a gradual forgetting of the dead.

China is a typical dual economic structure country, and there is a certain degree of difference in the consumption structure of urban and rural residents. The purpose of this article is to grasp and explore the changing trends of urban and rural residents’ consumption, and to understand people’s consumption needs. On the one hand, it provides ideas and references for promoting the development of human resources, and on the other hand, it is conducive to timely adjustment of industrial structure and product structure, and good industrial relations. In terms of research methods, the article uses the "China Statistical Yearbook" as the data source, and selects the consumption data of Chinese urban and rural residents in food, clothing, housing, daily necessities and services, transportation and communication, culture, education and entertainment, health care, etc. during the period 2013-2019. Through quantitative analysis, the characteristics and differences of the consumption structure of Chinese urban and rural residents have been found. Studies have shown that rural residents’ basic subsistence consumption such as food, clothing and housing still accounts for a large proportion, while the proportion of development and enjoyment consumption is relatively small, and the burden of rural residents’ medical care is still relatively large. Therefore, the focus of the future development of rural work in China is to increase the income of farmers, strive to increase the proportion of developmental and enjoyable consumption, reduce the proportion of basic subsistence consumption, and promote the orderly improvement of the consumption structure of rural residents. On the other hand, it is necessary to improve the medical welfare of farmers and reduce their pressure on medical care.

Antimicrobials are essential for the medical care and health of animals and livestock populations. On the other hand it is generally accepted that the increase in prevalence of antimicrobial resistance is a worldwide problem. Therefore, in many countries of the world, the consumption of antibiotics and the resistance of pathogens isolated from humans and animals are monitored. Collected data indicate the need to reduce antimicrobial use in humans and in food-producing animals. This goal can only be achieved if antimicrobials will be used rationally and in accordance with the latest knowledge.

Sudden Rise

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.

Transmission Microscope

We have become accustomed to differentiating between the scanning microscope and the conventional transmission microscope according to the resolving power which the two instruments offer. The conventional microscope is capable of a point resolution of a few angstroms and line resolutions of periodic objects of about 1Å. On the other hand, the scanning microscope, in its normal form, is not ordinarily capable of a point resolution better than 100Å. Upon examining reasons for the 100Å limitation, it becomes clear that this is based more on tradition than reason, and in particular, it is a condition imposed upon the microscope by adherence to thermal sources of electrons.
