Objectives: Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are among the most frequent congenital defects, and they significantly burden the healthcare system due to their high mortality rate and high cost of care for survivors. We aimed to highlight the incidence of CHDs in a tertiary center in Western Romania. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out between 2018 and 2022 at the "Pius Brinzeu" Emergency County Hospital Timisoara. Relevant information about the mothers and the newborns were collected and statistically analyzed. Results: The incidence of CHDs from 2018 to 2022 in our center was 5.3%. Eleven types of malformations were diagnosed postnatally in 541 newborns, with 28.8% of cases having more than one type of CHD. The antenatal detection rate was 28%, with the highest rates for tetralogy of Fallot, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, or significant ventricular septal defects and the lowest for pulmonary stenosis. The lower antenatal detection rate was influenced mainly by incomplete or absent prenatal care. Conclusions: The incidence of CHDs is clearly dependent of a multifactorial approach, and the results highlight this. With an incidence almost 50% lower than reported within the literature and a low rate of prenatal detections, CHDs could be a more of a burden to endure regarding medical treatment. Improvements in patients' education, prenatal care, and screening programs could improve diagnosis, decrease mortality, and optimize postnatal care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the work is to study the possibility of replacing wood sawdust pellets with grain at the heating systems. Due to the energy crisis experienced in the winter of 2022-2023, when the price of used pellets increased by 300% compared to the previous year, when in some periods wooden pallets disappeared from commerce, the study of the replacement of the energy sources with which the small power domestic boiler were designed to operate on wooden pellets is justified. It is known that corn has a high calorific value. Due to this fact in the present work the possibility of using corn and the effects of its use on boiler with pellets that do not have in the specifications the fact that they can also work with any granular biomass are studied.

The study is dedicated to the analysis of the compensation, regarded as a legal means of settlement of the civil obligations whereby it is carried out the indirect realization of the creditors' rights. The study begins with a few considerations regarding the notion, the legal qualification, the legal headquarters, the types and the practical utility of the compensation. The author affords a large space for putting up for discussion the legal compensation which is carefully regulated in the texts of the new Romanian Civil Code. Thus, there are extensively approached the conditions that must be fulfilled in order to be in the presence of the legal compensation; likewise, it is determined the scope of application of the legal compensation and there are detected the obstacles and the legal exceptions in which, for certain reasons, the legal compensation can not operate; some of these are based on the parties' interests and others are provided by law for the purpose of protection and of ensuring the rights of some third parties. A special attention is granted to the effects and the mechanism of the legal compensation, which operate entirely, in other words, ex lege. The analysis of the juridical regime of the legal compensation ends with the discussion of the legal possibility available to the creditors in question to expressly or tacitly waive the benefit thereof. The author's discourse continues with the approach of the juridical regime of the other two types of compensation. It deals with the conventional compensation and the judicial compensation. The conventional compensation may be realized always by the wilful agreement of the parties, when there are not fulfilled the conditions for the legal compensation. On the contrary, the judicial compensation is ordered by the court of law, at the request of one of the parties, by the statement of claims of the applicant or, as the case may be, by the counter claim of the defendant. The study ends with a short presentation of the specific nature of the compensation of the claims and of the connected debts in the French civil law, especially after the recent reform of the juridical regime of the obligations in the texts of the French Civil Code.

The study begins with defining the pre-contractual period and with revealing its importance in the process of forming the contracts by free negotiations or, as the case may be, by conventionally organized negotiations. The deontology of negotiations for the formation of contracts is also defined. It follows from this definition that, mainly, the content of the deontology of free pre-contractual negotiations is made up of the obligations with value of limits of the freedom to negotiate. These obligations or limits are of two types: some of them are legal, being expressly provided by law, by imperative norms or, as the case may be, by dispositive norms, and others implicit. At the core of these obligations is the mandatory legal obligation of the negotiating partners to comply with the exigencies of good faith. Good faith is a proteiform concept or notion, a standard with the value of a general principle, flexible and open, which makes it possible to adapt it to the concrete circumstances and conditions of the formation and execution of each contract. Thus, in the matter of concluding contracts, good faith governs any pre-contractual negotiations, whether they are free or are conventionally organized. Moreover, this obligation is expressly, clearly and imperatively established in the texts of Article 1183 of the Civil Code, being an application of the general principle of good faith in contractual matters, established with special force in Article 1170 of the Civil Code, corroborated with Article 14 of the Civil Code, which concerns the exercise of any right and the execution of any obligation. Being a complex notion, a concept with a proteiform structure and flexible in its content, good faith is the source of the origin and of the existence of the other rules and obligations that make up the content of the deontology of free negotiations for the progressive formation of contracts. From among these obligations there are analyzed the following: the obligation of pre-contractual information, the obligation of confidentiality, the obligation of counselling, the obligation of prudence or abnegation, the obligation of exclusivity, the obligation of coherence and the obligation of cooperation. The author tries to argue that some of these obligations, especially the implicit ones, have as a foundation and source, in addition to the general obligation of good faith, also the principle of contractual solidarism.
