Several antimicrobial agents are being investigated as alternatives to carbapenems in the treatment of infections caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, which may be useful in avoiding overuse of carbapenems in the context of recent global spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The most promising candidates for invasive infections so far are β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor comb...

The new objectives which society is demanding of forest systems are leading to deep changes in their management. Aspects such as biodiversity preservation and recreation require forest management alternatives that are not based on the traditional management centered on the maximization of timber production. In this paper, we introduce five silvicultural alternatives different from those typical...

What levels of preinternship training in testing and psychotherapy do internship directors expect students to have as they enter internship? This study addressed the question by surveying internship directors of all members of the Association of Postdoctoral and Internship Centers and asking them to specify the numbers of testing and psychotherapy experiences they believe an intern candidate sh...

This article contributes to the debate on enterprise culture, which is characterised by celebration of risk-taking and self-realisation, in turn also implies self-responsibilisation atomisation workforce. It does so investigating organisations created with aim finding alternatives for freelancers, who epitomise processes individualisation typical late capitalism. The studied, both companies coo...

Challenging Nature of Evidence-Based Decision Making What is the drug of choice for condition x? is among the most commonly asked questions in primary care. Reflecting the complexity of prescribing decisions, answering this question requires a difficult trade-off between the benefits and harms of multiple drugs for a given condition. The principles of evidence-based medicine suggest that prescr...

Usual quantum mechanics predicts probabilities for the outcomes of measurements carried out at definite moments of time. However, realistic measurements do not take place in an instant, but are extended over a period of time. The assumption of instantaneous alternatives in usual quantum mechanics is an approximation whose validity can be investigated in the generalized quantum mechanics of clos...

In friction stir welding frictional heat is generated by the rotating tool, sliding over the stationary plate along the weld centre. Tool being the only source of heat producing member, its geometrical design influences the heat generation rate. In this present work, effects of variation in tool shoulder and tool pin taper angles on thermal history during joining are analysed. Tools with triang...
