A recent case of conjoined twins required multiple hospitalizations in the pediatric intensive care unit and led to a difficult situation confronting staff regarding the potential separation where surgery would result in the death of one twin. The hospital ethics committee was consulted. A systematic approach was utilized to examine medical standards, historical precedents, and various ethical and legal frameworks. The ethics committee believed that either proceeding with or forgoing attempted separation surgery would be ethically acceptable. We share our reasoning and lessons learned for others facing this situation in the future.

Abstract The article shows that dairy farming is one of the most dynamically developing branches of agriculture, existing under the influence of internal and external environments, defined as: compliance with the breed standard, medical standards for milk consumption, increased investment in the industry, its resource potential. On the basis of a retrospective analysis, the evolution of technological structures in dairy cattle breeding in Russia is considered: pre-industrial, collective farming with agricultural mechanization, industrial, intensive technocratic, biotechnological. In addition, on the basis of the organizational and economic analysis of dairy cattle breeding in the Tambov region, the trends of its functioning have been determined: a decrease in the self-sufficiency of the region’s population with milk and dairy products; destructuring of the production sector with an increase in the share of enterprises with low-intensity and extensive milk production; low intensity of reproduction of a herd of cattle; a wide variety of breed composition of dairy cattle. It was found that agricultural enterprises of the region, as a rule, specializing in the development of dairy cattle breeding, choose the direction of organizing a purebred herd with standardized exterior features. This is a fundamentally different way of breeding work from all-Russian trends. On the basis of the research carried out, the priority directions of the development of dairy cattle breeding in an innovation-oriented context are substantiated.

Background: Induced abortion is one where products of conception are expelled before 28 weeks of gestation. The process can be safe or unsafe. Safe termination of pregnancy is performed by skilled persons using appropriate tools whereas unsafe induced abortion is performed either by persons without the necessary skills or in an environment without the minimum medical standards, or both.Objectives: To explore the lived experiences of women who had induced abortion in Rakai DistrictMethodology: Phenomenological qualitative design was used. Study population was women who underwent induced abortion. 25 women who had induced abortions in past 1-3years were interviewed. Data was collected by in-depth interviews, tape recorded; transcribed verbatim and written in note book.Results: Lived experiences included denial, shame, confusion, fear, anger, anxiety, depression and uncertainty. Participants reported use of local herbs like “ekiwoko” and “majaani”, “etwaata”, “kisuula” and roots of sugar canes, among others, to induce abortion. The processes were mostly traditional, associated with: severe pain, heavy bleeding, and so on. They were life-threatening and horrible. Short- and long-term lived experiences included secondary barrenness, depression, crying-in-privacy and regrets, among others.Conclusion: Health workers and women in child-bearing age need to work together to discuss how to control unplanned pregnancies.

The article considers the methodology of scientific research at enterprises, the main emphasis is placed on the issue of audit and innovation in improving enterprise management. Yes, today the world is in crisis in the economy due to the COVID-19 virus. However, appropriate measures are needed to get out of this situation as soon as possible. Universities pay special attention to research that provides new knowledge, helps in solving problems, decision-making, discovery, invention, conflict resolution. Without "theory", appropriate research, practice is impossible, as the article proves. Yes, an important factor that determines the success of the audit is the audit. Its absence causes a crisis in the company, which can lead to bankruptcy. Therefore, sufficient attention should be paid to the issue of audit in scientific research. Moreover, innovations contribute to the development of enterprises. However, it does not make sense to implement them without appropriate scientific and financial research - innovations must be relevant to the company, make a profit after their implementation, as well as stimulated by the state. However, it is equally important to take into account innovation, environmental friendliness and profitability. Food quality management depends not only on the company that produces them, processing technology, suppliers of raw materials (agriculture), but also on medical standards, recommendations, marketing, consumer market research, their features. Production in the world is becoming human-oriented, so it changes the guidelines, management not only in the enterprise but also in the regions and society. It is no coincidence that in international practice more and more often to determine the quality of life in the country instead of GDP use the happiness index, which includes along with the level of income and life expectancy. There is a need to "supplement" medical expertise with economic and environmental ones. We are talking about the "birth" of a new medical, economic and environmental examination of food products (MEEEFP). The higher the quality of food, the higher its competitiveness, better management in a saturated market, the quality of the environment and the quality of labor reproduction, increase life expectancy, GDP of the region and the country. This quality can be achieved only with the help of innovative technologies.

This chapter introduces the reader to key cases analyzing claims of intellectual disability, describes the current clinical definition and diagnosis, and provides an overview of recurring issues in capital litigation. In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that individuals with intellectual disability may not be executed. The Court subsequently clarified that current medical standards must be used in assessing claims of intellectual disability in capital cases. The clinical diagnosis requires assessing three factors: (a) deficits in intellectual functioning; (b) deficits in adaptive behavior; and (c) the onset of deficits during the developmental period. Courts must be informed by current medical standards regarding issues that arise, including the standard error of measurement in IQ scores, the problems of offsetting weaknesses in adaptive behavior with perceived strengths, and other clinical topics. The principle that the death penalty must not be imposed on individuals with intellectual disability signals important responsibilities for social work practitioners.
