Several large JWST blank field observing programs have not yet discovered the first galaxies expected to form at 15 ≤ z ≤ 20. This has motivated the search for more effective survey strategies that will be able to effectively probe this redshift range. Here, we explore the use of gravitationally lensed cluster fields, which have historically been the most effective discovery tool with the Hubble Space Telescope. In this paper, we analyze the effectiveness of the most massive galaxy clusters that provide the highest median magnification factor within a single JWST NIRCam module in uncovering this population. The results of exploiting these lensing clusters to break the z > 15 barrier are compared against the results from large-area, blank-field surveys such as JADES and CEERS in order to determine the most effective survey strategy for JWST. We report that the fields containing massive foreground galaxy clusters specifically chosen to occupy the largest fraction of a single NIRCam module with high magnification factors in the source plane while containing all multiple images in the image plane within a single module provide the highest probability of both probing the 15 ≤ z ≤ 20 regime as well as discovering the highest-redshift galaxy possible with JWST. We also find that using multiple massive clusters in exchange for shallower survey depths is a more time-efficient method of probing the z > 15 regime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SN H0pe is a triply imaged supernova (SN) at redshift z = 1.78 discovered using the James Webb Space Telescope. In order to classify the SN spectroscopically and measure the relative time delays of its three images (designated A, B, and C), we acquired NIRSpec follow-up spectroscopy spanning 0.6–5 μ m. From the high signal-to-noise spectra of the two bright images B and C, we first classify the SN, whose spectra most closely match those of SN 1994D and SN 2013dy, as a Type Ia SN. We identify prominent blueshifted absorption features corresponding to Si ii λ 6355 and Ca ii H λ 3970 and K λ 3935. We next measure the absolute phases of the three images from our spectra, which allow us to constrain their relative time delays. The absolute phases of the three images, determined by fitting the three spectra to Hsiao07 SN templates, are 6.5 − 1.8 + 2.4 days, 24.3 − 3.9 + 3.9 days, and 50.6 − 15.3 + 16.1 days for the brightest to faintest images. These correspond to relative time delays between Image A and Image B and between Image B and Image C of − 122.3 − 43.8 + 43.7 days and 49.3 − 14.7 + 12.2 days, respectively. The SALT3-NIR model yields phases and time delays consistent with these values. After unblinding, we additionally explored the effect of using Hsiao07 template spectra for simulations through 80 days instead of 60 days past maximum, and found a small (11.5 and 1.0 days, respectively) yet statistically insignificant (∼0.25 σ and ∼0.1 σ) effect on the inferred image delays.

Open government, accountability, transparency in administration and the right to information are considered the foundational tenets of democracy. The Right to Information Act, 2005 ensures transparency, accountability and public participation in the governance of the country. Every citizen of India is authorized to seek information under the control of public authorities. The Right to Information Act, 2005 exempt's information related to IPR from being disclosed with certain exceptions. Although, the Patents Act, 1970 provides an information dispensation mechanism. This paper unfolds the interplay between the information dispensation mechanisms under the Right to Information Act, of 2005 and the Patents Act, 1970. Further, a suitable information dispensation mechanism for patents is identified with the help of doctoral research methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Copyright exceptions and limitations, which allow information consumers the right to use copyrighted materials without necessarily obtaining permission from or payment to the rightsholder, promote advances in the arts and sciences. Poor knowledge of copyright laws results in improper use of copyrighted materials. However, the extent to which academic library users in Ghana know about the exceptions and limitations, as well as their understanding of permissible use of information in the Copyright Act 690, 2005 of Ghana are not known. The sequential mixed methods approach was employed to collect data from 530 postgraduate students from two public and two private universities in Ghana to assess their knowledge of copyright exceptions and limitations, as well as their understanding of permissible use of information in Copyright Act 690, 2005 whilst using the services of their libraries. The study shows that students were poorly knowledgeable about the various applications of the exceptions and limitations clause in the copyright laws of Ghana: students were either indifferent (i.e. 'neutral'), or 'disagree', and 'strongly disagree' on whether the Copyright Act 690, 2005 had clauses on exceptions and limitations on various uses of information such as for 'Private copying', for 'Quotations' or 'For the benefit of persons with disability'. Over 50% of respondents were not sure that the copyright laws of Ghana had provisions for permissible use of information. Age and gender of respondent significantly influenced these responses: older students 46 years and above, and females, were more knowledgeable compared to younger students and males respectively about exceptions and limitations for 'Private copying', and 'For the benefit of people with disability' in the copyright laws of Ghana. Policymakers in Ghana should therefore adopt youth- and gender-focus strategies in copyright education for efficient administration of copyright laws in academic libraries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since 1901, the Indian pharmaceutical industries have expanded and strengthened to become a significant supplier of healthcare items, meeting around 90% of the nation's need for bulk pharmaceuticals, drugs intermediates, chemicals for the medicinal base, pharmaceutical compounds, medicinal formulas, drugs, tablets, orals, respules/capsules, and injectables. Indian pharmaceutical industry has embarked not only on national markets but it has an esteemed and illustrious position in international markets also. India is the world's third-largest pharmaceutical manufacturer by volume and fourteenth-largest by value. The growth and empowerment of the pharmaceutical industry is totally attributed to the rules and principles governing the operations and evolution of the pharmaceutical industry in India. These rules are the controlling guidelines mandated by the Government of India, through the Acts and amendments made in the acts at various times. One of the major and most influential amendment is the Patent (Amendment) Act, 2005. This act has provided new dimensions and horizons to the Indian pharmaceutical industry and a good number or rational researches have been performed on this subject. It has thus been a fascination to dig the researcher's points of views about how The Patent (Amendment) Act, 2005 after TRIPS has impacted the Indian pharmaceutical industry since this act has been passed. This survey paper is an attempt to bring out the deviations and modifications, Indian pharmaceutical industry has been gone through, since year 2005. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr. addressed to the World Summit of the Information Society in 2005, he called for greater indigenous participation in the internet, with universal indigenous connectivity to assert indigenous "values, languages, traditions, and sovereignty." I argue, however, that such aspirations should be pursued with caution, as there are risks associated with internet technology and nuances that users must understand in order to use it effectively. My argument draws upon the work of Eli Pariser, who sees personal internet search, specifically, as problematic for any group that uses the internet as a means of discourse to address problems common to all group members.

Science is progressing a lot in recent years. Remarkable advances have been achieved in the field of health care technology. However, unfortunately, medicines are still the only hope for treating diseases for thousands of people in developing countries around the world. An effective National Drug Policy might be a lifesaving step for many people in these countries. Fortunately, that happened in Bangladesh after the 1982 Drug Policy. In the meantime, the country has further editions of that policy, which were National Drug Policy 2005 & 2016. In this article, this research will discuss the comparative impact scenario of these policies in Bangladesh. Readers will know the past and present of the National Drug Policy of Bangladesh and will be able to assume the future of this policy in Bangladesh.

This article compares four Navajo lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and two-spirit (LGBTQ2) films. It emphasizes cinematic gaze, anti-LGBTQ2 violence, Navajo transgender women, Navajo cosmology, Native lesbian feminism, and two-spirit community activism. Directed by Euro-American Lydia Nibley, the Two Spirits (2009) documentary recounts Fred Martinez’s queer hate-crime murder and affirms Martinez’s Navajo sense of being a two-spirit effeminate male, or nádleeh, especially as related by Martinez’s mother, Pauline Mitchell, and the nádleeh scholar Wesley Thomas. Through interviews with the author, nádleehs Elton Naswood and Michelle Enfield praise Nibley’s film, featured by the Public Broadcast System’s Independent Lens nationally in June of 2011. They also voice a need for greater two-spirit and Navajo transgender women activist representations. In contrast to Two Spirits, the Miss Indian Transgender Arizona short overtly affirms a Native transgender identity. It is one of many short films that the activist NativeOut.com makes available online. Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie’s (Navajo/Muskogee/Seminole) art installation film, An Aboriginal View with Aboriginal Dreams (2002), visually interrogates Navajo gender, sexuality, and sovereignty within a context of contemporary US/Navajo nationalism, the Iraq War, and gender suppression. A Native feminist perspective lends Tsinhnahjinnie’s film a foreboding sense that US militarism in the Middle East increases heterosexism on the Navajo Nation, a dynamic that culminates in the 2005 Diné Marriage Act, which restricts marriage to heterosexual couples. Finally, Carrie House’s (Navajo/Oneida) I Am short centers on diverse two-spirit activisms that Two Spirits mutes. Through a comparative analysis of the Native LGBTQ2 representations in Two Spirits, Miss Indian Transgender Arizona, An Aboriginal View with Aboriginal Dreams, and I Am, the essay foregrounds Navajo LGBTQ2 gazes that are culturally grounded, activist, and critical of US, Navajo, and Native American national heterosexisms.

En la actualidad existen más de 9,824 mini súperes y abarroterías en el país, de los cuales la mayoría tienen problemas con el espacio, inventario, sus procesos y la salubridad de sus locales. Considerando que estos lugares son de gran concurrencia, es necesario brindarle a los dueños o administradores, una herramienta práctica y fácil de entender como lo es un “Manual de Buenas Prácticas de Servicio”, el cual contenga la descripción para mantener en orden los establecimientos, mejorar los procesos, optimizar el espacio, asegurar la calidad de los productos y mejorar la rentabilidad del negocio.

En virtud de lo anterior, se realiza un estudio el cual presenta un “Manual de Buenas Prácticas de Servicio basado en la Norma ISO 22000:2005 y el Modelo de las 5S”. Este manual es fácil de implementar, pero desarrollado bajo normas, modelos de calidad y el enfoque ingenieril de los investigadores.

Streptococcus suis sequence type 7 emerged and caused 2 of the largest human infection outbreaks in China in 1998 and 2005. To determine the major risk factors and source of the infections, we analyzed whole genomes of 95 outbreak-associated isolates, identified 160 single nucleotide polymorphisms, and classified them into 6 clades. Molecular clock analysis revealed that clade 1 (responsible for the 1998 outbreak) emerged in October 1997. Clades 2–6 (responsible for the 2005 outbreak) emerged separately during February 2002–August 2004. A total of 41 lineages of S. suis emerged by the end of 2004 and rapidly expanded to 68 genome types through single base mutations when the outbreak occurred in June 2005. We identified 32 identical isolates and classified them into 8 groups, which were distributed in a large geographic area with no transmission link. These findings suggest that persons were infected in parallel in respective geographic sites.

من مقومات الاستقلال الذاتي للوحدات المكونة للدولة الاتحادية تمتعها بوجود قانوني مستقل وامتلاكها حرية التنظيم الذاتي أي القدرة على تنظيم نفسها بحرية وبإرادتها الخاصة، من دون ان يفرض عليها ذلك من قبل هيئات السلطة الاتحادية. فالولايات او الأقاليم الاتحادية هي التي تضع دساتيرها الخاصة بها وكذلك قوانينها المحلية ونظامها السياسي وتنظيماتها الحكومية وبما لا يتعارض مع الدستور الاتحادي. ومثل هذه الفكرة وتطبيقها في العراق كان محلا لبحثنا المعنون " الاستقلال العضوي للأقاليم الاتحادية وفقا لدستور جمهورية العراق لسنة 2005" والذي تناول مسألتين مهمتين هما : تكوين الأقاليم وفقا لدستور جمهورية العراق لسنة 2005 ، واستقلال الأقاليم في أنظمتها القانونية والسياسية وهيئاتها الحكومية.

Data-exclusivity is one of the most controversial issues in the current discussion on pharmaceutical intellectual property policy-making globally. It is aimed at protecting and safeguarding pharmaceutical test data submitted by pharmaceutical companies to drug regulatory authorities (DRA) for the purpose of obtaining marketing approval for new drugs. Most countries require the submission of test data relating to the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals and agro-chemicals as a condition for grant of marketing approval. Since the marketing approval process is laborious and expensive, the originators of such regulatory data demand protection for their investments through exclusivity periods, separate from any patent protection for the active ingredient. On the other hand, generic manufacturers advocate minimal protection for such data as they would be able to obtain speedier marketing approvals. Data-exclusivity thus, prevents during a set period of time, a second pharmaceutical applicant from obtaining a marketing authorization for its drug through a facilitated procedure; this procedure entails reliance by the second applicant on preclinical and clinical data generated by a pioneer company that prepared that data to support its own new drug application. The underlying logic of data-exclusivity suggests that it is an expression of trade-secrets, and that as such, data-exclusivity should be independent of patents. Compared with patents, the market power of data-exclusivity is, in theory, less restrictive, mainly because it does not legally prevent other companies from generating their own registration data. However, in practice, the vast financial resources and extended time required for gathering and generating pharmaceutical registration data for a new drug create a market barrier that is too high for generic based companies.

Here we report the first record of one of the most common and widespread Palaeogene selachians, the sand tiger shark Brachycarcharias, from the Ypresian Bolca Konservat-Lagerstätte. The combination of dental character of the 15 isolated teeth collected from the Pesciara and Monte Postale sites (e.g. anterior teeth up to 25 mm with fairly low triangular cusp decreasing regularly in width; one to two pairs of well-developed lateral cusplets; root with broadly separated lobes; upper teeth with a cusp bent distally) supports their assignment to the odontaspidid Brachycarcharias lerichei (Casier, 1946), a species widely spread across the North Hemisphere during the early Palaeogene. The unambiguous first report of this lamniform shark in the Eocene Bolca Konservat-Lagerstätte improves our knowledge concerning the diversity and palaeobiology of the cartilaginous fishes of this palaeontological site, and provides new insights about the biotic turnovers that involved the high trophic levels of the marine settings after the end-Cretaceous extinction.

Background: Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common and persistent problems encountered in preterm newborns. This condition in preterm infant is more likely to be associated with neurological damage rather than terms. So far, no major studies have precisely assessed the effects of zinc sulfate on hyperbilirubinemia in low-birth-weight (LBW) neonates. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate these effects in LBW infants. Methods: This randomized, double-blind, clinical trial (IRCT201401041162N22) was performed on 61 icteric LBW neonates, hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad, Iran from May 24, 2014 to May 24, 2015. The neonates were randomly divided into case and control groups, and the total serum bilirubin (TSB) level was measured at 0, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h after treatment. The subjects received either 10 mg of zinc sulfate or placebo twice per day for five days (or by the end of treatment). The termination point of phototherapy was defined as a bilirubin level below 50% of the starting point. The collected data were analyzed, using SPSS version 20. Chi-square, t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA were carried out to compare the findings between the two groups. Results: The mean TSB level was 14.87±2.65 and 14.73±3.22 mg/dl in the control and case groups. The mean decline in TSB level was only significant at 24 h after the treatment (2.71 and 2.13 mg/dl in the case and control groups, respectively; P=0.04), while being statistically insignificant on other days of the assessment. Also, similar findings were reported regarding the duration of treatment in the case and control groups (58.84±14.97 and 65.60±16.59 h in the case and control groups, respectively). Conclusion: The present study showed that administration of oral zinc sulfate in icteric LBW infants could significantly reduce TSB level only at 24 h following the treatment.

This paper describes the implementation process of a Quality Management System (QMS) at the Laboratory of Poços de Caldas (LAPOC) in Brazil, aiming for ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. Due to the governmental nature of the entity, all accreditation efforts had to be undertaken on a particular legal framework – not usually favorable to QMS requirements. As the scope consisted of both chemical and radiation test methods (for which only a few labs are accredited worldwide), this initiative turned into a complex endeavor for the organization. In this sense, critical aspects on the development of a QMS are emphasized. LAPOC’s approach to achieve accreditation focused on the branches of documentation development and method validation/uncertainty estimation, whose challenges are here discussed. Upon the successful conclusion of its quality assurance project, LAPOC became the national pioneer in the field of accredited radiation measurements. This case study may be inspiring to other public institutions that struggle to obtain accreditation of radioanalytical test methods in an environment of low resources availability and restricted manpower.

As qualitative research undertakings are not independent of the researcher, the “indissoluble interrelationship between interpreter and interpretation” (Thomas & James, 2006, p. 782) renders it necessary for researchers to understand that their text is a representation, a version of the truth that is the product of writerly choices, and that it is discursive. Endlessly creative, artistic and political, as there is no single interpretative truth, the interpretative process facilitates the refashioning of representations, the remaking of choices and the probing of discourses. As a consequence of the particularity of any researcher’s account, issues pertaining to researcher identity and authorial stance always remain central to research endeavours (Kamler & Thomson, 2006, p. 68; Denzin & Lincoln 2011, pp. 14-15). Therefore, researchers are encouraged to be reflexive about their analyses and research accounts (Elliott, 2005, p. 152), as reflexivity helps spotlight the role of the researcher as narrator. In turn, spotlighting the researcher as narrator foregrounds a range of complex issues about voice, representation and interpretive authority (Chase, 2005, p. 657; Genishi & Glupczynski, 2006, p. 671; Eisenhart, 2006). In essence, therefore, this paper is reflective of the challenges of “doing” qualitative research in educational settings. Its particular focus-the shaping of beginning primary teachers’ identities, in Ireland, throughout the course of their initial year of occupational experience, post-graduation- endeavours to highlight issues pertaining to the researcher as narrator (O’Sullivan, 2014).

Debido al gran crecimiento que han tenido hoy en día los servicios de Tecnologías de la Información (TI), las industrias necesitan algún tipo de marco y/o normas para la gestión de sus servicios, especialmente los servicios de TI, por lo que se hace necesario e imprescindible definir y adoptar un conjunto de buenas prácticas para proveer y gestionar de forma eficaz la tecnología y los servicios ofrecidos a lo largo de todo su ciclo de vida. Actualmente, la gestión de aplicaciones y servicios de TI se vuelve más compleja, predecir y controlar los problemas relacionados con el rendimiento del sistema y planificación de la capacidad se ha convertido en una tarea difícil. Para grandes proyectos de TI, generalmente los costes relativos al ajuste del rendimiento, gestión del rendimiento y planificación de capacidad, resultan ser los más grandes y los más incontrolables. En los últimos años han surgido una serie de marcos de trabajo enfocados a cubrir ciertos aspectos de la gestión de servicios de TI. Uno de estos aspectos es la gestión de la capacidad de servicios de TI. En este artículo, presentaremos una comparación de los modelos y estándares más usados en la actualidad con respecto a la gestión de la capacidad. El resultado es una comparación con las debilidades y fortalezas de cada uno de los modelos/estándares respecto a la gestión de la capacidad, de forma que pueda guiar a las organizaciones a seleccionar el modelo que mejor se ajuste a sus necesidades.

The intention of this article is to convey the importance of research with 'hard to reach' populations and utilise the outcomes from a qualitative (Doctor of Philosophy) study completed in 2017. Important issues, which involved both social workers located within an adults' multi-disciplinary team (MDT) and parents who supported their (adult) children with learning disabilities, are discussed throughout. The White Paper Valuing People (Department of Health, 2001) is briefly discussed in relation to the impetus towards supporting parents and informal carers. Furthermore, the notion of health and social care integration and its progress is also highlighted, with a focus upon how progress (or not) has had an effect upon parents supporting an (adult) child with learning disabilities. Creative methods of parental engagement are revealed, which highlight the complexities of supporting a son or a daughter with learning disabilities. Stanfield's (2000) Four-level Framework has been utilised as the basis for data generation and the analysis of the findings. The 'lived experiences' of parents who received statutory services are presented as five individual case studies, which discuss their sons' and daughters' support arrangements. The Mental Capacity Act, 2005 has been referred to in this article as the underpinning legislation which brought about changes for the parents and the circumstances of their children. Consequently, the parents discussed their changing relationships with social workers as a result of using this legislation. All the parents (n=5) illustrated the significance of social workers' support and how their input had made a positive difference to their lives. The findings from this research study were shared with social workers and allied health professionals located within the learning disabilities service. The purpose was to present 'new knowledge' about the lives of parents receiving multi-disciplinary services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Basics of the lessons, those are taught in our education system in the schools are the related lesson's curriculum. To sum up the curriculum, it can be said that it is a guideline of answers of questions that are desired to be taught for a lesson like; (what) why, how, who and when should we teach. Essential components which are subject to this curriculum are; the general terms of education, purpose of the lesson, vision of the lesson, main approach of the lesson or the philosophy of the lesson, content of the lesson and its acquisitions, method and techniques that can be used in the lesson and teaching approaches and measurement and evaluation. Besides those main components, it can be witnessed that value that is predicted to be gained with the classification of the learning field (theme) about the particular lesson and the ability and concepts are the parts of this curriculum. The curriculum is the essential resource for the teacher because the teacher is obliged to prepare his daily and annual lecture programme according to this programme. Furthermore, the teacher can complete the missing information that he acquired during the induction programme or the changing content for later, and by this education, programme teacher can complete the information that is related to the various situations. In our country, curriculums are prepared by Ministry of National Education and serviced to the teachers. Social studies is a lesson that is taught at the level of elementary and secondary school. In a narrow range, first content that is imputed to the social studies curriculum that is created in 1965 had been taught under different lesson names both before and after the particular date. Since from the social studies curriculum that is fixed in 1998 till today, the name of the lesson has not changed. However, changes in the individual, social, political and technological etc. needs and developments, Ministry of National Education has gone reformation on social studies curriculum after 1998, on 2005 and 2017. Furthermore, Ministry of National Education, after the program that is fixed on 2005, had increased the branches of social studies which constitutes the social studies lectured contents and had accepted an interdisciplinary approach. The purpose of this research is to compare the dimension of concept and accusation, theme, ability and value in the social studies education programs that are created in 2005 and 2017. In this qualitatively structured research, a method of document review is used. Purposed sampling that is used in this research, on the direction of the purpose of the research, Ministry of National Education's documents that are inspected for t he l ast two social studies curriculums are constituted. Besides, for supporting the data of this research, guidebooks for social studies teachers that are published by various publishing houses are imposed on. Each item has been evaluated separately by using descriptive analysis technique in this research. As a result of this research, in the 2005 Social Studies curriculum, two learning areas were removed. Apart from the addition of a learning field called "Effective Citizenship" which includes the acquisitions of these learning areas added in the 2017 curriculum, there is no significant difference in the theme dimension between the two curriculums. While 15 basic abilities taking part in the social studies curriculum which are fixed on 2005, 26 basic abilities have taken part in the program which are fixed on 2017. While evaluating the value perspective of 2005-fixed social studies curriculum has 20 pieces of values, the social studies curriculum which is fixed on 2017 has 18 values. While in 2005 social studies curriculum place of concept teaching and basic concepts that is predicted to be gained is clearly stated, on the other hand in 2017 social studies curriculum, importance of concept teaching is described with few paragraphs. While in 2007 program clear decrease in the number of acquisition is observable there are no observable structural changes on the perspective of the content. While 174 acquisitions are held on 2005 fixed social studies curriculum, on 2017 social studies curriculum there are 132 acquisitions are maintained. In addition, despite the fact that in the 2005 social studies curriculum there were 7 acquisitions about Kemalism, 2017 Social studies curriculum includes only one acquisition. The real success of the curriculums is revealed only by the reflection of the practice. Therefore, other researchers can examine the extent to which practitioners can apply the scale of acquisition, concept, value and skill in the classroom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To analyze assisted reproductive technology (ART) data in 2005. Design: Retrospective – cross sectional survey. Setting: Eighteen ART clinics in Egypt. Patients: Infertility patients. Intervention: None. Main outcome measures: Pregnancy rate (PR), delivery rate (DR), Multiple pregnancies, miscarriage and preterm rats, and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Results: A total of 10,353 ART cycles were indicated in 2005 resulting in approximately 3352 babies. The overall PR and DR per aspiration for fresh IVF/ICSI were 35.0% and 26.8%, respectively. The PR and DR for frozen embryo transfer (FET) were 25.6%, and 18.5%, respectively. Multiple DR per PR for fresh IVF/ICSI was 23.7%, twins and 2.6% triplets. OHSS complicated 164 cycles (1.8%). Conclusions: ART availability, effectiveness, and safety were similar to previous reports. There is a need for improving data reporting.

This review draws attention to issues related to school self-assessment. This process has been similarly implemented in a variety of jurisdictions globally in the past decade hence their inclusion herein as an attempt to understand the school self-assessment process which has also been developed for use in local Ontario (Canadian) elementary schools. This review includes an examination of the foundational components of effective schools, the purpose of school self-assessment, and the successes and challenges of school self-assessment both locally and internationally.

Without intending to exhaust the subject, in a constructive and academic way, this work intends to analyze that judicial recovery cannot occur at any cost, and all the principles of article 47 of the LREF must be analyzed. Some principles that govern judicial recovery have been addressed in order to ensure that the company is not of the sole interest of the entrepreneur, but rather a collective one, being relevant the prior analysis of the possibility or not of its recovery, by protecting the interests of workers, creditors, respect Free enterprise, search for full employment, social function and respect for the principle of company preservation. In the end, it is reflected that economic activities, which are not viable, rather than preserved, must be extinguished, failing to disregard the principle of preservation of the company from other legal entities that relate to the person who is in Economic, financial or asset crisis.

The 2005 disability bill introduced a definition of handicap based on the International classification of functioning, disability and health (WHO, 2001). This bill sharply modified the institutional framework by assigning the new "local desks for disabled people" (MDPH, which stands for Maisons départementales des personnes handicapées) a broader role of welcome, support, needs assessment, guidance, decision and follow-up care towards disabled people. Such missions definitely go beyond the administrative eligibility assessment, given that the situation and needs assessment must be grounded on a global and multidimensional approach, accordingly to the definition of handicap. The bill's goal is clearly to ensure social inclusion for disabled people and individual answers which imply no legal discrimination. Within this new framework, the medical certificate which is compulsorily provided to the MDPH is a new fundamental step. The quality and the easiness of the assessment and therefore the answers that are given depend on this medical certificate. However, the medical certificate is not the only assessment tool. The sole medical diagnostic of the original affection never gives enough information about the situation of handicap. A close study of all the aspects of a person's situation, which notably include their environment, is needed, especially in the case of handicap related to psychiatric disorders. The ethical dimension of this process of information sharing with the MDPH multidisciplinary assessment group requires a sustained exchange among the people involved and a mutual knowledge of each other's roles.

Topics discussed include the North Korean nuclear strategy under the leadership of Kim Jong-un, inter-Korean relations, and American-South Korean response to the crisis. The important role of Russia in resolving the nuclear crisis based on its initiative for creating a peace and security mechanism for Northeast Asia is also discussed.

This paper is an analysis of trade policies in Mexico. A structural analysis of the Mexican economy's performance in three successive but different periods, regarding trade policies for the last thirty-five years, is presented. Results are confronted with expectations from various trade policies. There are two main conclusions: first, those extreme free-trade policies have not been good for economic stability, growth and employment creation in Mexico; and second, that specialization in production and trade occurs in non labour- intensive sectors in Mexico, in opposition to what is expected according to the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem, under free trade conditions.

Objective: To analyze assisted reproductive technology (ART) data in 2005. Design: Retrospective -- cross sectional survey. Setting: Eighteen ART clinics in Egypt. Patients: Infertility patients. Intervention: None. Main outcome measures: Pregnancy rate (PR), delivery rate (DR), Multiple pregnancies, miscarriage and preterm rats, and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Results: A total of 10,353 ART cycles were indicated in 2005 resulting in approximately 3352 babies. The overall PR and DR per aspiration for fresh IVF/ICSI were 35.0% and 26.8%, respectively. The PR and DR for frozen embryo transfer (FET) were 25.6%, and 18.5%, respectively. Multiple DR per PR for fresh IVF/ICSI was 23.7%, twins and 2.6% triplets. OHSS complicated 164 cycles (1.8%). Conclusions: ART availability, effectiveness, and safety were similar to previous reports. There is a need for improving data reporting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The accreditation of a measurement and 3D scanning laboratory according to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 involves a series of organizational efforts and investments that refer not only to the measuring and scanning equipment. Thus, an important condition to be fulfilled is that which refers to monitoring, control and record environmental parameters that can influence the quality of the results achieved in the laboratory. The paper presents the development method and a system for monitoring environmental parameters used in the Laboratory of Measurement and 3D Scanning within the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. The system is an alternative to the commercial versions existing on the market, the development cost is less than 600 Euros; it is scalable and based on wireless technology for communication between sensors. The system's architecture is modular and scalable based on mobile measuring points which communicate with a central unit via Bluetooth. The system provides alerting and reporting functions, allows the display of the measured values both locally and on the web, functions on-line and off-line allowing the recording of the measured values even when your internet connection is interrupted. The measuring points are built using Lego NXT controllers that can manage up to four sensors per measuring points, and the software is written in LabView. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
