The topics selected for education for the 81/82 PREP year are Genetics, Neonatology, and Cardiology. Each area presents a special challenge. Each is a field in which enormous advances in knowledge have occurred in the past decade. Each represents the use of very high level technology—knowledge and technology most of us as general pediatricians do not have. Most of the technology is hospital based; expert teams working daily with the complex issues are best able to provide accuracy and efficiency. The main question I have faced as I planned this year of PEDIATRICS IN REVIEW has been what should the generalist know about G-N-C?

The capacity to work cooperatively, industry with the various agencies, concerned with milk production and quality control has been demonstrated. Cooperation among the agencies having responsibility in milk control, in a period of looming budget crisis, is more imperative than ever. While all the problem bearing on the public health aspects of milk control have not been solved, there do not appear to be any serious threats beyond the problem to provide maintenance efforts to assure continuance of the gains made. For the maintenance program it seems a very high level of cooperation among regulatory agencies is necessary and continued efforts of industry to work with regulatory bodies must be encouraged. Solving of new problems may have to be under-taken with out added resources, therefore making it necessary to develop better techniques to tackle new tasks without losing control in the older and more traditional areas. Inter-related efforts which were carefully developed in the past will be needed to supplement as well as complement to prevent deficits from affecting the whole coordinated milk control Program.

Gravitational theories outside standard general relativity have been drawing increased attention over the past several years, mostly due to the lack of direct observational evidence of dark matter. With some recent very high level dark matter searches continuing, and the parameter space to search decreasing has lead to a new interest in rethinking gravity at the largest of scales. As an alternative gravitational theory, conformal gravity has enjoyed much of the success of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) in predicting phenomenology, but differs dramatically in its initial construction. In this work, we explore some recent advances in conformal gravity, which help to build the case for support of such an alternative theory. Here, we highlight conformal gravity’s success in fitting new rotation curves, its ability to explain velocity dispersions in clusters, the initial steps towards gravitational lensing and finally, some preliminary work on explaining universal centripetal acceleration trends in galaxies.

In the article, the author raises controversial questions concerning the functioning of the Norwegian institution Barnavernet, seen from both Polish and Norwegian perspectives. A diplomatic conflict, in which the Norwegian representatives recognized the Polish consul Sławomir Kowalski as persona non grata in Norway, constitutes a pretext for discussion. The main thesis of the article is the indication of the different and deep mental characteristics of Poles and Norwegians, which determine the image and evaluation of the institution’s functioning. It is constituted by: (1) the trust, especially bridging trust, significantly low in Poland and very high in Norway; (2) the very Polish “culture of complaining” staying in opposition to affirmativeness of Norwegians; (3) the act of giving more significance to the country while solving the family conflicts in Norway and leaving those conflict, especially the issues concerning children, in the area of responsibility of the family only; (4) mentality based and built on tradition and the past in Poland and the orientation directed towards the future in Norway; (5) high level of social consent to violence in Poland in opposition to Norway, where violence is additionally seen in more sophisticated and differentiated way. The latest research of brain physiologists concerning experiencing violence and fear by the child, especially in the early period of its life proves that the changes in the child’s brain have destructive, and what is even more important, permanent effect. In some way, this fact reinforces the practice of taking away children from their biological families. On the other hand, the trauma of being taken away is not noticed by the Norwegians. In a sense, the diplomatic conflict resulting in expulsion of the Polish consul from Norway can begin the freshening corrections in the functioning of this institution.

Flood is a national disaster in Indonesia. Some of those factors, landform driven factors and non-driven factors in the form of land use management. Pacitan Regency has an alluvial landform that is vulnerable to flooding. BNPB states that the floods in 2018 continued on 07 March 2019, as a massive flood resulted in losses reaching > 600 billion. This study analyzed the potential and risk of flood in Pacitan Regency in 2018, in the past (1998 and 2008), and used it to projected future floods (2030). The research focused on land use change and its impact on flood potential and hazards. The potential and risk of flooding were analyzed using Paimin’s method. The parameter was analyzed from Landsat 5, 7, and 8 images in an unsupervised. The trend will be used for Business As Usual (BAU) analysis in 2030. As a comparison, land use analysis carried out based on Land Ability Class (KKL) and Spatial Planning (RTRW). Data validation using confusion matrix overall accuracy. As a result, there had been an increase of potential floods in high and very high levels (1998 to 2018) around 263.04 ha and 368.99 ha. This continues until 2030 (BAU), around 191.61 ha and 172.8 ha. Land use management with RTRW will increase the potential flooding at a very high level in 2030 + 1088.63 ha. The best land management is the KKL application which reducing the flood potential at a very high level + 1973.39 ha. Accuracy tests conducted at 100 points in 2018 showed that 88 model points matched the flooding event ( 88% accuracy).

The shapes of planetary nebulae (PNs) provide paleontological clues about the origin and evolution of the gas expelled in the late phases of stellar evolution. The morphological classes of planetaries and various structural components of the nebulae are interpreted as hydrodynamic interactions of episodes of relatively brief, axisymmetric wind driven mass-loss events. Theoretical studies of the past five years are compared with extant data to show that astrophysical hydro models are achieving a very high level of success as explanations for the shapes of most PNs.The most successful models are those for which the star is assumed to expel much or most of its mass in an equatorial wasteband. In stark contrast are dense ansae, dense and low-ionization knots of fast-moving gas, for which the mass distribution is decidedly polar. The origins of both the equatorial wastebands and polar knots remain decidedly enigmatic.

Climate change and its impact on water resources is the problem of the times. Therefore, this study is concerned with the subject of climate change and its impact on the water ration of the grape harvest in Diyala Governorate. The study was based on the data of the Khanaqin climate station for the period 1973-2017, (1986-2017) due to lack of data at governorate level. The general trend of the elements of the climate and its effect on the water formula was extracted. The equation of change was extracted for the duration of the study. The statistical analysis was also used between the elements of the climate (actual brightness, normal temperature, micro and maximum degrees Celsius, wind speed m / s, relative humidity% The results of the statistical analysis confirm that the water ration for the study area is based mainly on the X7 evaporation / netting variable, which is affected by a set of independent variables X1 Solar Brightness X4 X5 Extreme Temperature Wind Speed ​​3X Minimal Temperature and Very High Level .

An anaerobic inverse turbulent bed, in which the biogas only ensures fluidisation of floating carrier particles, was investigated for carbon removal kinetics and for biofilm growth and detachment. The range of operation of the reactor was kept within 5 and 30 kgCOD· m−3· d−1, with Hydraulic Retention Times between 0.28 and 1 day. The carbon removal efficiency remained between 70 and 85%. Biofilm size were rather low (between 5 and 30 μm) while biofilm density reached very high values (over 80 kgVS· m−3). The biofilm size and density varied with increasing carbon removal rates with opposite trends; as biofilm size increases, its density decreases. On the one hand, biomass activity within the reactor was kept at a high level, (between 0.23 and 0.75 kgTOC· kgVS· d−1, i.e. between 0.6 and 1.85 kgCOD·kgVS · d−1).This result indicates that high turbulence and shear may favour growth of thin, dense and active biofilms. It is thus an interesting tool for biomass control. On the other hand, volatile solid detachment increases quasi linearly with carbon removal rate and the total amount of solid in the reactor levels off at high OLR. This means that detachment could be a limit of the process at higher organic loading rates.

In theory, and under some very strong assumptions, there exists a tight quantitative relationship among the following four fundamental economic concepts: (1) ‘wealth’; (2) ‘income’; (3) ‘sustainability’; (4) ‘accounting’. These four basic concepts are placed in quotation marks here because a necessary first step will be to carefully and rigorously define what exactly is meant by each. This chapter reviews what is known about this important fourfold quantitative relationship in an ultra-simplified setting. It identifies some basic applications of this simplified economic theory of wealth and income (and sustainability and accounting). While the contents of this chapter are expressed at a very high level of abstraction and require many restrictive assumptions, the fundamental fourfold relationship it sharply highlights should be useful for conceptualizing, at least in principle, what is ‘wealth’ and what is its theoretical relationship to ‘income’, ‘sustainability’, and ‘accounting’.
