Introduction: Cardiac arrhythmias caused by electrical injuries are rare among emergency service admittances. We present a case of ventricular fibrillation (VF) with a rare etiology, confirmed by speckle-tracking imaging.

Mpox, monkeypox, air travel, infection transmission, commercial flights While these long international flights may pose a risk of infection transmission, our analysis identified no secondary cases of mpox amongst flight contacts of 15 infectious returned travellers to Australia.

The ostrich, the flightless Ratite, is the world's largest bird. Ostrich has been reared in Romania for many years, but we have limited information on this species. The aim of this paper is to provide information on the social behavior of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) in captivity. Ostrich products, meat skin, and eggs are considered luxury products not only in Romania but also abroad. Observations on the social behavior of captive ostrich were made on two extensive farms in Romania in Arad County. The most common behavior patterns are walking, sitting, standing, foraging, pecking, dancing, coprophagia and aggression. The captive ostriches spend most of their time standing, resting or bathing, and nest-making. In the summer period, ostriches show the greatest difference in their behavior, they are more inactive and sit more in rainy weather than in dry periods. In the breeding season, they become more aggressive. They are violent toward humans, juveniles, even each other and other species. Some individuals may be showing abnormal behavior such as feather pecking, anorexia, coprophagy, and dietary indiscretion. Understanding the feelings in animals through behavioral observations is a vital step in improving their welfare. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Researches were carried out in a commercial sheep farm from Arad county, situated in western Romania. Yearling ewes, with their age ranging from 12 to 13 months were included in the trial. Two genotypes were considered, purebred indigenous Turcana (TA, n = 18) and R1 German Blackheaded 75% x Turcana 25% (R1GBT, n = 17) backcrosses. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects that crossbreeding local Turcana sheep with the meat specialized German Blackheaded breed have on the body development of maiden ewes. Results have shown that the R1GBT back-cross gimmers had a significantly (p≤0.001) higher body weight, of 56.81 kg when compared with the TA purebreds, which had on average 45.0 kg. Wool production and the length of the wool-staple was significantly higher (p≤0.001) in TA yearling ewes when compared to their counterparts. Results of the current study outlined that the R1GBT yearling ewes are more precocious when body weight is concerned, and this could lead to their introduction to reproduction starting with 12 months of age.

Researches were carried out in a commercial sheep farm from Arad County, situated in western Romania. Yearling ewes, with their age ranging from 12 to 13 months were included in the trial. Two genotypes were considered, purebred indigenous Turcana (TA, n = 18) and F1 German Blackheaded x Turcana (GBT, n = 33) crossbreeds. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects that crossbreeding local Turcana sheep with the meat specialized German Blackheaded breed have on the body development of yearling ewes and their wool production traits. Results have shown that the GBT crossbreed gimmers had a significantly (p≤0.001) higher body weight, of 53.8 kg when compared with the TA purebreds, which had on average 45.0 kg. Wool production was significantly higher (p≤0.001) in TA yearling ewes when compared to their counterparts, while the length of the wool-staple was not influenced by genotype related factors (p>0.05). Results of the current study outlined that the GBT yearling ewes are more precocious when body weight is concerned, and this could lead to their introduction to reproduction starting with 12 months of age.

The leadership competencies and the managerial abilities are important for every school development. However, to obtain the best results in the educational system, as in every public institution, it is important that the legislative framework to emphasize the managerial abilities, but also to allow them to develop their ideas and implement their strategy. The educational system requires manager's flexibility and imagination but at the same time it requires a lot of responsibility and rigor in obtaining the educational goal. This paper aim is to compare the manager's legislative barriers and responsibility and to analyze if the national framework allows them to develop a personal approach in managing the school. The paper presents some characteristics concerning national regulations in the educational system, pointing out the responsibilities of a manager's and the means that allows him to obtain the best results. Using Eurydice tools and network, the OECD reports, the national arrangement concerning the educational policy and scholar's researches, we compare the educational background and regulations concerning school manager's duties, job requirements and decision-making choices within four decentralized educational systems. We present a short analysis of the recruitment process and responsibilities of public school managers and a comparison of these procedures within four countries: Romania, France, Spain and Finland. Our aim is to find the best legislative model that allows and explains long term school development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper explains the importance of the Big Data concept, a concept that even now, after years of development, is for the most companies just a cool keyword. The paper also describes the level of the actual big data development and the things it can do, and also the things that can be done in the near future. The paper focuses on explaining to nontechnical and non-database related technical specialists what basically is big data, presents the three most important V's, as well as the new ones, the most important solutions used by companies like Google or Amazon, as well as some interesting perceptions based on this subject [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper approaches the public health sector changes according to the latest legislative regulations proposed for Romanian hospitals. The first part of the work offers a global view of these new normative acts package and its opportunity, considering both the current needs of the population and the external pressure of progressing in this field. The research is focused on measuring the stakeholders' involvement in this process, and their capacity of keeping objectivity high when they are directly influenced by new legal frame under discussion. The study focuses on knowing the orientation of the stakeholders towards: their awareness of the real necessities, their openness for change, their proactive behavior, and also their availability to get involved in the decision-making process. The research methodology is based on qualitative and quantitative methods used to collect and process the data obtained. The results presented and analyzed in the last part of the paper are interesting and useful for the decision makers and for the Romanian regulation authorities too. Also, the data base provides specific information for comparative studies in the future, between different institutions, or for the same institution after a certain period, analyzing the achieved progress. The paper concludes with some important and relevant findings for researchers and employees of public institutions in the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Public health is of major importance to the European Union, who wants to unite local as well as national initiatives in order to implement Pan-European mechanisms to define the best practices within the health department. This research analyses - the method Romania uses, via the National Audiovisual Council's undertaking, in order to put the EU public health norms into practice; as well as - the impact it has on Romanians. This case study is based on the hypotheses that the NAC messages promoting a healthy lifestyle have had an impact on the subjects targeted, and managed to change their unhealthy behaviour.
