Summary. The proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints play an important role in the function of the hand as an organ of labor and self-care. The frequency of joint injuries of this localization reaches 32% in the structure of hand injuries, and unsatisfactory consequences are associated with the severity of the injury. Wrong treatment ranges between 60-80%, which gives ground to classify the problem as socially significant. The development and improvement of implant designs came through the introduction of new materials, structural changes in the fasteners and mobility. Much of the implants design became a thing of the past, giving a push to the development of new models. The need for anatomical and functional compliance of the implant with the characteristics of a healthy joint gave an impulse to research on the manufacture of individual prostheses with the help of 3D modeling. The analysis of literature sources showed a high level of unfavorable consequences of damage to the finger joints and the prospects for the development of more anatomical designs of hand joints prostheses. The development of individual geometrically similar designs endoprostheses of the finger joints of hand that will provide conditions of improvement of quality of treatment of patients remains an actual problem. The relatively short period of operational suitability of existing endoprostheses affected by a limited number of medical supervision necessitates the expansion of research in the near and long terms after prosthetics.

The topic of seismic anisotropy in exploration and exploitation has seen a great deal of progress in the past decade‐and‐a‐half. The principal reason for this is the increased (and increasing) quality of seismic data, of the processing done to it, and of the interpretation expected from it. No longer an academic subject of little practical interest, it is now often viewed as one of the crucial factors which, if not taken into account, severely hampers our effective use of the data. The following brief overview is not intended to be exhaustive, since any such attempt would surely be incomplete. However, it does provide a high‐level survey of the advances seen (at the end of this period) to be important by one who was closely involved, and it directly extrapolates this history to predict the future development of the topic.

This article explores the management of relationships by King Juan Carlos I of Spain to legitimate the monarchy as an institution and build a new democracy after Franco’s death in 1975. The high level of public support during most of his reign shows there is a correlation between good relationship management and the loyalty of the subjects. Only when some basic relationship management principles of mutual benefit, such as trust and openness with his subjects, were violated the level of support of Juan Carlos I, and the monarchy as an institution started to decline. Nonetheless, the value of relationship management has proved durable since the new monarch, Felipe VI, was able to recover in a relatively short period of time the public support that Juan Carlos I enjoyed in the past. This fact indicates that even in the case of disruptive monarchies, such as Spain, the power of relationship management has shown effectiveness to legitimate the institution. However, at the same time it also points out that in a public opinion regime monarchies have to show exemplarity and that involves not only to create mutual benefit for the citizenship through good deeds, since Juan Carlos I always behaved professionally as a business and diplomatic representative, but that there is feeling of trust between the monarch and the subjects.

Indonesia is one of the countries that has the potential of natural resources other than agriculture, namely mining, especially gold. Gold mining without permits is one of the mining activities which results in a decrease in the quality of the surrounding environment, especially land. The purpose of this study was to look at the land damage that occurred as a result of unlicensed gold mining activities around the Singingi River in the massive Kuantan Singingi Regency in the past two decades. The method used in the analysis is the scoring and overlay method, the data used are Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI which are processed using the supervised cllasification method and digitized on screen. Furthermore, as comparative data, surveys and interviews are carried out and utilizing high resolution image data from SPOT images and google earth. The results of this study were found that there was a change in land use from other land uses into unlicensed gold mining land covering an area of 2,680.03 Ha from 2006 to 2018. Then a land damage map with three parameters was produced, namely vegetation density, mine life and type of tailings . Land with a high level of damage covering 699.34 ha, moderate damage 1,501.04 and low damage 479.65. The largest area of land damage occurs in Sungai Paku Village and the smallest village is Pulau Padang.

Today in Russia the urgent question of preparation of qualified specialists for the construction industry. Appearance of new types of work requires workers, foremen and superintendents know how most effectively to manage the construction process, and often it is impossible without a qualitatively prepared the technological card on a certain type of work. Routing is an integral part of the design and technological documentation. It is necessary to modernize the process of formation of technological cards and create a new one, following the trends of development of the construction industry. Use of modern information technologies for the formation of technological cards will eliminate a number of personnel issues facing the construction complex. Raise the level of preparation of design and technological documentation will be possible due to introduction of methods, models, algorithms for automation of documentation. The process of development of technological cards in construction is one of the most difficult and complex and, at the same time, the least automated. Therefore, development of new models and methods of automation, change the very process of creating this section of organizational and technological documentation, will allow to solve an actual problem of improvement of quality of formation of technological cards, reduce time and cost of construction. Methodological and theoretical basis of research includes: the theory and practice of CAD, system analysis and construction or for system architect, database design, theory of algorithms, thematic work of the authors, the normative documentation in the field.

SummaryIn this paper I mention the 19-year history of International Health Evaluation Association (IHEA) which was started in Washington D.C. by the great effort of Dr. G. Gilbert in Hawaii. In 1973 three regions were organized in this Association: 1) U.S.A., 2) Europe and 3) Pan-Pacific including Asia.I also mention the history of periodical health checkups in U.K., U.S.A. and Japan. In Japan it started in 1954, however, after adapting the system of Automated Multiphase Health Testing designed by the Kaiser Foundation of Auckland, Calif., in 1973, Japanese people paid much attention to this health screening system and the number of hospitals and clinics for health screening has increased tremendously and the number of examinees amounted to 2,875,449 in 2001.Finally, I conclude that IHEA should create a multi-disciplinary system to sustain a lifestyle with a high level of Quality of Life (QOL) for the people who really want to live fruitful lives by the successive health education.

Aggression is an act of threats directed at others who may be verbal, physical or sexual nature. Medical management of aggressive behavior among the psychiatric emergency area in which decisions must be made quickly in a short period of time. Quality of medical services largely depends on the level of knowledge and training of nurses. High frequency and diversity of occurrence of aggressive and violent behavior by the medical staff not only to the psychiatric ward, the necessity to a wider range of health professionals meet and train to work with such patients in first aid, health care and therapy. For emergencies in psychiatry, particularly aggressive behavior, most often there is no time for planning and setting goals of care. These conditions require a high level of expertise, training and knowledge of the medical technicians to act “here and now”. Working with these patients has its own characteristics and is different from other medical interventions in emergency situations.

Legislative Changes

Over the past 50 years there has been a significant decline in the quality of constructed outcomes in the Australian building industry. The decline can be readily attributed structural changes in project delivery methodologies that have been brought about by the focus of some industry participants on time, cost and profit at the expense of quality, durability and the project encapsulated environmental health. The changes have been stimulated by legislative changes that have increased the complexity of compliance while at the same time reducing the oversight of work to ensure compliance. A striking impact of these changes has been to force changes to the leadership of the project delivery process where the focus of the effort is on project economics to the exclusion of meeting the project brief and the projects long term durability.

SC Cuprom SA Bucharest Branch Baia Mare is known as one of the biggest copper factory from ores from Romania, but at the same time one of the biggest polluters from the recent history of the country. Placed in the Baia Mare basin, at the outskirts of the city, the plant generated, in the past, a significant negative impact over the environmental factors, especially over the air and soil. The monitoring of the environment factors in the period offunctioning and after closure revealed a high level of pollution of the emplacement. After ceasing of the activity, in 2009, the emplacement passed through a period of continuous degradation, successive demolitions of the buildings and minimum involving regarding the protection of the environmental factors and application of depollution processes. In this moment the platform of Cuprom Sa represents a tampon zone placed in the eastern part of Baia Mare, which stand in the path of development of the city in that direction due to the high level of degradation of the site, high level ofpollution and lack of capitalization measures.

The Past

The balanced scorecard is one of the major developments in management accounting in the past decade (Ittner and Larcker 2001). Lipe and Salterio (2000) find that managers ignore one of the key scorecard features, the inclusion of measures that are unique to the strategic objectives of a business unit, when making performance evaluation judgments. This study identifies and tests two approaches to reducing this “common measures bias.” We examine whether increasing effort via invoking process accountability (i.e., requiring managers to justify to their superior their performance evaluations) and/or improving the perceived quality of the balanced scorecard measures (i.e., via an independent third-party assurance report on the balanced scorecard) increases managers' usage of unique performance measures in their evaluations. Results suggest that either the requirement to justify an evaluation to a superior or the provision of an assurance report on the balanced scorecard increases the use of unique measures in managerial performance evaluation judgments. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
