Occupational diseases are health problems of employees, caused by harmful and hazardous agents present in the occupational activity or work environment. Occupational skin diseases – relevant, but not often discussed topic. They are the most commonly diagnosed diseases in Western countries while in Lithuania it is only the sixtieth part of all occupational diseases. Occupational skin diseases have poor prognosis and long-term consequences, causing disability, unemployment and necessity to change the profession. Early prevention and diagnosis can prevent negative effects of the life quality. Occupational rehabilitation program, organized by the Ministry of social security and labour, helps to adapt people who are disabled due to occupational diseases. The purpose of this article is to introduce the importance of occupational skin diseases in Lithuania and abroad, also to discuss the possible causes of these diseases, prevention, diagnosis and options of occupational rehabilitation.

Objective. We present the results from the study about dermatological problems of Lithuanian hairdressers. Material and methods. A survey with anonymous questionnaire was performed in 145 hairdressing salons from different Lithuanian cities in 2011. Results. The majority of all the 150 respondents were women (93%). Dermatological knowledge were acquired by 94,7% of the hairdressers. Dermatological complaints were expressed by 66,7% of the specialists and 8,7% had signs of eczema. Only 1 from 3 specialists is seeking for a help of dermatovenereologist in case they have skin problems. A mean of the wet work is 2,7± 1,94 hours per day, but almost half of the respondents (50,6%) don‘t have the necessary knowledge how negatively wet works acts on their skin. The most frequent allergens in haircare products are p-phenilendiamine, ammonium persulfate and glyceryl monothiogllycolate. A negative effect of the haircare products were noted by 32% of the hairdressers. Disposable gloves were used by 92,7% of the specialists, but 10,8% of them used them repeatedly. Protective gloves together with moisturizing creams were used by 77,3% respondents. About half of the hairdressers (48%) do consult and treat their clients with dermatological problems on their own. Clients were asked about their previous allergies by 79,3% specialists. Information on product safety is mostly relied on sources from supplierers, leastwise from medical sources. Conclusion. The knowledge of occupational risk factors for their skin and other possible negative effects for client skin are inadequate. Hairdressers lack knowledge of occupational risk factors for their own skin as well as other possible negative effects for clients‘ skin. Skin protection measures are also insufficient or they are not used properly. Hairdressers rarely seek for help on their own or send their clients for doctors in case dermatological problems occur. This might cause inadequate diagnostics of occupational skin diseases in hairdressers and be the reason why clients are unable to get necessary treatment on time. Preventive measures should therefore be introduced and have their efectiveness monitored.http://dx.doi.org/10.5200/sm-hs.2013.040Article in Lithuanian

Abstract Occupational skin diseases have an unknown prevalence in Romania, although they are considered the most frequent occupational diseases reported in Western European countries. Self-reported hand eczema among healthcare providers by questionnaire aims to estimate the prevalence of work-related hand eczema and associated risk factors in hospitals and outpatient units in Romania. The aim of this study is to discuss and to validate a questionnaire for surveying work-related skin diseases and exposure among healthcare providers.

Npk Fertilization

Plant nutrition is one of the most important intensification factors of crop production. The utilization of nutrients, however, may be modified by a number of production factors, including weed presence. Thus, the knowledge of occurring weed species, their abundance, nutrient and water uptake is extremely important to establish an appropriate basis for the evaluation of their risks or negative effects on crops. That is why investigations were carried out in a long-term fertilization experiment on the influence of different nutrient supplies (Ø, PK, NK, NPK) on weed flora in maize field.The weed surveys recorded similar diversity on the experimental area: the species of A. artemisiifolia, S. halepense and D. stramonium were dominant, but C. album and C. hybridum were also common. These species and H. annuus were the most abundant weeds.Based on the totalized and average data of all treatments, density followed the same tendency in the experimental years. It was the highest in the PK treated and untreated plots, and significantly exceeded the values of NK fertilized areas. Presumably the better N availability promoted the development of nitrophilic weeds, while the mortality of other small species increased.Winter wheat and maize forecrops had no visible influence on the diversity and the intensity of weediness. On the contrary, there were consistent differences in the density of certain weed species in accordance to the applied nutrients. A. artemisiifolia was present in the largest number in the untreated control and PK fertilized plots. The density of S. halepense and H. annuus was also significantly higher in the control areas. The number of their individuals was smaller in those plots where N containing fertilizers were used. Contrary to them, the density of D. stramonium, C. album and C. hybridum was the highest in the NPK treatments.

Common Destiny

Since peaceful coexistence reflects in its various aspects the concept of harmony between the members of the same society with their different national, religious and sectarian affiliations, as well as their attitudes and ideas, what brings together these are the common bonds such as land, interests and common destiny. But this coexistence is exposing for crises and instability and the theft of rights and other that destroy the communities with their different religious, national, sectarian, ethnic aspects, especially if these led to a crisis of fighting or war, which produces only destruction and mass displacement, ttherefore, the process of bridging the gap between the different parts of society in the post-war phase through a set of requirements that serve as the basis for the promotion of peaceful coexistence within the same country to consolidate civil and community peace in order to create a general framework and a coherent basis to reconstruct the community again.      Hence the premise of the research by asking about the extent of the possibility and ability of the community of religious and ethnic diversity, which has been exposed to these crises, which aimed at this diversity, basically to be able to rise and re-integrate within the same country and thus achieve civil and community peace, and Mosul is an example for that, the negative effects of the war and the accomplices of many criminal acts have given rise to hatred and fear for all, leading to the loss of livelihoods, which in the long term may have devastating social and psychological consequences.        To clarify all of this, the title of the first topic was a review of the concept and origin of peaceful coexistence. While the second topic dealt with the requirements of peaceful coexistence and social integration in Mosul, the last topic has identified the most important challenges facing the processes of coexistence and integration in Mosul. All this in order to paint a better future for the conductor at all levels in the near term at the very least to achieve the values of this peaceful coexistence, especially in the post-war period.
