The process of triaging patients has come a long way. Stemming from the battlefield, it is the ability to sort casualties on the severity of their injuries that has improved the allocation of resources. In modern emergency centres, there is a constant struggle to balance limited resources against the ever-growing patient need. Since the late 1980s, when triage became the mainstream standard for sorting patients, many different systems have developed throughout the world. There was a rise in triage system design as emergency centres became more streamlined and resource-conscious. Countries around the world sought to develop triage systems that would be most effective in their given setting—giving rise to multiple variations of the triage process. This narrative review will explore the evolution of triage systems around the world by presenting: a historical perspective, how and where modern systems developed, what the main characteristics are of different systems, and a discussion of the current state of triage system evolution.

State Of Affairs

In a long historical perspective, the globalization of the economy is, no doubt, the future of the mankind. However, we should not overlook the contradiction that has dramatically intensified as a result of the 2008-2009 recession. This is the contradiction between globalization as an objective process with mostly positive effects and its model that is being implemented today (namely, the policy of globalization). Furthermore, we can propose a number of important arguments in favor of a statement that at the current state of affairs the globalization has exhausted itself. Nobody can exclude a short-term braking down of the globalization progress nor even a U-turn, albeit temporary, to a de-globalization. Under unfavorable circumstances such a reverse movement can cover the entire period up to 2020. The author states that transnational corporations are the main subject of the world economy which will the most actively oppose such a development.

  El objetivo del estudio se centra en analizar la situación del fútbol femenino de base en la comarca del Berguedà. La realidad que representa la incorporación de la mujer en el mundo del deporte desde la perspectiva histórica, la presencia de estereotipos en nuestra sociedad y el estado del fútbol femenino actual han sido aspectos clave a revisar en la bibliografía. Se ha utilizado una metodología tanto cuantitativa como cualitativa, con el propósito de diseñar una estrategia que pueda ser implementada en diferentes territorios. Los resultados muestran las diferencias por género en la práctica futbolística, la influencia familiar en la realización de actividad física por parte de las chicas y como actúan un conjunto de elementos en la adherencia a la práctica deportiva, según género y edad. Se concluye la necesidad de optimizar el proceso de incorporación de las chicas a la práctica futbolística y se destaca la importancia de los centros escolares para iniciarlas a esta tipología de práctica.  Abstract: The aim of the study focuses on analysing the situation of women's football based in the Berguedà region. The reality which represents the incorporation of women in the world of the sport from the historical perspective, the presence of stereotypes in our society and the current state of the women's football, have been key appearances to review. A both quantitative and qualitative methodology has been used, with the purpose to design a strategy that could be implemented in different territories. The results show the gender differences of the adhesion of the football practice, the familiar influence of the development of physical activity by part of their daughters and how differently the various elements act in the adhesion of the football practice, taking into account gender and age. The necessity of optimizing the process concludes with the participation of girls into the football sport. It stands out the importance of the school centres to initiate the girls to this kind of practice.

The article discusses the development of transport infrastructure in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This topic is especially relevant to our country with the huge territory and irregular allocation of resources and population. The article analyzes the main indicators of transport infrastructure development, which made it possible to assess its current state. The state of infrastructure is also reflected to the international rankings of the country's competitiveness, so the authors analyzed the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index by the Infrastructure factor and the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index. Based on the PESTLE analysis, the key environmental factors influencing the functioning and development of the transport industry in Kazakhstan were identified. These facts indicate the need to further improve the policy of transport and infrastructure development of Kazakhstan and develop more effective mechanisms for its implementation.

At the beginning of a new millennium it seems a good idea to stop for a moment and take stock of the current state of forensic science. As a field of scientific research and scientific application, forensic science is a little more than a century old. Forensic science may be said to have begun in 1887 with the simultaneous publication of A. Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet and Hans Gross’s Handbuch für Untersuchungsrichter. Conan Doyle’s novel introduced to the world the character of Sherlock Holmes, whose literary career would popularize the use of physical evidence in criminal investigations. Gross’s manual for examining magistrates suggests ways in which the expertise of chemists, biologists, geologists, and other natural scientists could contribute to investigations. Gross’s book was translated into a number of languages and went through various updated editions during the course of the century. The intervening century saw the development and application of fingerprinting, firearm and tool mark identification, forensic chemistry, forensic biology, forensic toxicology, forensic odontology, forensic pathology, and forensic engineering. Increasingly, the judicial systems of the industrial nations of the world have come to rely upon the expertise of scientists in a variety of disciplines. In most advanced countries, virtually all criminal prosecutions now involve the presentation of scientific testimony. This has had the beneficial effect of diminishing the reliance of courts on eyewitness testimony and defendant confessions.
