THE PROTECTION OF DOCUMENT PRINTING IN HEALTHCARE
Članak opisuje nedostatke u poslovnim procesima sa naglaskom na zaštitu ispisa dokumenata u zdravstvu. Izmjenama poslovnih procesa u zdravstvu napravile bi se ogromne uštede u proračunu, smanjile bi se liste čekanja te povećala efikasnost cijelog sustava. Svi nedostatci su opisani tablično i kroz primjere, te su date i preporuke za izmjenu poslovnih procesa. Jedan od nedostataka je i ispis dokumenata poput otpusnog pisma ili povijesti bolesti kojima se da lako manipulirati. U članku se navodi moguće rješenje, odnosno smanjeno ili u potpunosti onemogućeno falsificiranje upotrebom tehnologije zaštite u infra red području. IRDSPB (Infra Red Design Security Print Box) donosi mogućnost zaštite dokumenata u samom njihovom nastajanju, uz minimalan trošak. Članak opisuje IRDSPB tehnologiju, koje su mogućnosti implementacije te prednosti u odnosu na postojeće rješenje bez zaštite.This article describes disadvantages of business processeses with the focus on protection of document printing in healthcare. Modifications of business processes in healthcare could make huge savings in the budget, decrease waiting lists and increase the efficiency of the entire system. All weaknesses are described in tables and through examples. Also, recommendations are made to modify business processes. One of the disadvantages is printing documents such as a discharge letter or medical history which can be easily manipulated. The article offers a possible solution, that is, a decreased or completely prevented falsification by using technology protection in infra-red area. IRDSPB
(Infra Red Design Security Print Box) brings the possibility of protecting documents in the print time at minimal cost. This article describes IRDSPB technology, what are the possibilities of implementation and advantages over existing solutions without protection

Phys., 16, 9727-9743, doi:10.5194/acp-16-9727-2016, 2016.The Amazon basin is a vast continental area in which atmospheric composition is relatively unaffected by anthropogenic aerosol particles. Understanding the proper- ties of the natural biogenic aerosol particles over the Ama- zon rainforest is key to understanding their influence on re- gional and global climate. While there have been a number of studies during the wet season, and of biomass burning par- ticles in the dry season, there has been relatively little work on the transition period – the start of the dry season in the absence of biomass burning. As part of the Brazil–UK Net- work for Investigation of Amazonian Atmospheric Composi- tion and Impacts on Climate (BUNIAACIC) project, aerosol measurements, focussing on unpolluted biogenic air masses, were conducted at a remote rainforest site in the central Ama- zon during the transition from wet to dry season in July 2013. This period marks the start of the dry season but before sig- nificant biomass burning occurs in the region. Median particle number concentrations were 266 cm−3, with size distributions dominated by an accumulation mode of 130–150 nm. During periods of low particle counts, a smaller Aitken mode could also be seen around 80 nm. While the concentrations were similar in magnitude to those seen during the wet season, the size distributions suggest an en- hancement in the accumulation mode compared to the wet season, but not yet to the extent seen later in the dry sea- son, when significant biomass burning takes place. Submi- cron nonrefractory aerosol composition, as measured by an aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ACSM), was domi- nated by organic material (around 81 %). Aerosol hygro- scopicity was probed using measurements from a hygro- scopicity tandem differential mobility analyser (HTDMA), and a quasi-monodisperse cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNc). The hygroscopicity parameter, κ , was found to be low, ranging from 0.12 for Aitken-mode particles to 0.18 for accumulation-mode particles. This was consistent with pre- vious studies in the region, but lower than similar measure- ments conducted in Borneo, where κ ranged 0.17–0.37. A wide issue bioaerosol sensor (WIBS-3M) was deployed at ground level to probe the coarse mode, detecting pri- mary biological aerosol by fluorescence (fluorescent biolog- ical aerosol particles, or FBAPs). The mean FBAP number concentration was 400 ± 242 L−1; however, this ranged from around 200 L−1 during the day to as much as 1200 L−1 at night. FBAPs dominated the coarse-mode particles, compris- ing between 55 and 75 % of particles during the day to more than 90 % at night. Non-FBAPs did not show a strong diur- nal pattern. Comparison with previous FBAP measurements above canopy at the same location suggests there is a strong vertical gradient in FBAP concentrations through the canopy. Cluster analysis of the data suggests that FBAPs were dom- inated (around 70 %) by fungal spores. Further, long-term measurements will be required in order to fully examine the seasonal variability and distribution of primary biological aerosol particles through the canopy. This is the first time that such a suite of measurements has been deployed at this site to investigate the chemical compo- sition and properties of the biogenic contributions to Ama- zonian aerosol during the transition period from the wet to the dry season, and thus provides a unique comparison to the aerosol properties observed during the wet season in previ- ous similar campaigns. This was also the first deployment of a WIBS in the Amazon rainforest to study coarse-mode parti- cles, particularly primary biological aerosol particles, which are likely to play an important role as ice nuclei in the region.Peer reviewe
Size-dependent wet removal of black carbon in Canadian biomass burning plumes
Wet deposition is the dominant mechanism for removing black carbon (BC) from the atmosphere and is key in determining its atmospheric lifetime, vertical gradient and global transport. Despite the importance of BC in the climate system, especially in terms of its ability to modulate the radiative energy budget, there are few quantitative case studies of wet removal in ambient environments. We present a case study of BC wet removal by examining aerosol size distributions and BC coating properties sampled in three Canadian boreal biomass burning plumes, one of which passed through a precipitating cloud. This depleted the majority of the plume’s BC mass, and the largest and most coated BCcontaining particles were found to be preferentially removed, suggesting that nucleation scavenging was likely the dominant mechanism. Calculated single-scattering albedo (SSA) showed little variation, as a large number of non-BC particles were also present in the precipitation-affected plume. The remaining BC cores were smaller than those observed in previous studies of BC in post-precipitation outflow over Asia, possibly due to the thick coating by hydrophilic compounds associated with the Canadian biomass burning particles. This study provides measurements of BC size, mixing state and removal efficiency to constrain model parameterisations of BC wet removal in biomass burning regions, which will help to reduce uncertainty in radiative forcing calculations
Economic crisis and the construction of a neo-liberal regulatory regime in Korea
A consistent theme of the literature on the ontology of the 1997 South Korean crisis is the key role played by regulatory failures and the growing weakness of the state. This paper seeks to briefly highlight both the insights and the limitations of this approach to understanding the crisis. Having done so, we shall set out the argument that the crisis created an opportunity for reformist Korean élites to advance their longstanding, but previously frustrated, project to create a comprehensive unambiguously neo-liberal regulatory regime. This paper will also seek to highlight the implications of our reading of the development of the Korean political economy for broader debates on economic liberalisation, crisis and the future of the developmental state
Surface wipe and bulk sampling of household dust: arsenic exposure in Cornwall, UK
Dust elemental levels can be expressed as concentrations (bulk samples) or surface loadings (wipe samples). Wipe sampling has not been widely adopted for elements other than lead (Pb). In this study, 433 wipe samples from 130 households in south west England – a region of widespread, natural and anthropogenic arsenic contamination linked with previous mining activities-were analysed to (i) quantify loadings of arsenic (As); (ii) assess the quality of wipe data using QA/QC criteria; (iii) estimate, using published ingestion rates, human exposure to As in dust using loadings and concentrations from 97 bulk samples and (iv) comparatively assess the performance of wipe and bulk sampling using associations with As biomonitoring data (urine, toenails and hair). Good QC performance was observed for wipes: strong agreement between field duplicates, non-detectable contamination of field blank wipes and good reference material recoveries. Arsenic loadings exceeded an existing urban background benchmark in 67 (52%) households. No exceedances of tolerable daily As intake were observed for adult exposure estimates but infant estimates exceeded for 1 household. Infant estimates calculated using bulk concentrations resulted in 4 (3%) exceedances. Neither wipe nor bulk As metrics were sufficiently better predictors of As in biospecimens. Sampling strategies, analytical protocols, exposure metrics and assessment criteria require refinement to validate dust sampling methodologies
States and transitions in black-hole binaries
With the availability of the large database of black-hole transients from the
Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer, the observed phenomenology has become very
complex. The original classification of the properties of these systems in a
series of static states sorted by mass accretion rate proved not to be able to
encompass the new picture. I outline here a summary of the current situation
and show that a coherent picture emerges when simple properties such as X-ray
spectral hardness and fractional variability are considered. In particular,
fast transition in the properties of the fast time variability appear to be
crucial to describe the evolution of black-hole transients. Based on this
picture, I present a state-classification which takes into account the observed
transitions. I show that, in addition to transients systems, other black-hole
binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei can be interpreted within this framework.
The association between these states and the physics of the accretion flow
around black holes will be possible only through modeling of the full time
evolution of galactic transient systems.Comment: 30 pages, 11 figures, To appear in Belloni, T. (ed.): The Jet

Post-harvest conservation of Passiflora alata fruits under ambient and refrigerated condition.
We use velocity dispersion measurements of 21 individual cluster members in the core of Abell 383, obtained with Multiple Mirror Telescope Hectospec, to separate the galaxy and the smooth dark halo (DH) lensing contributions. While lensing usually constrains the overall, projected mass density, the innovative use of velocity dispersion measurements as a proxy for masses of individual cluster members breaks inherent degeneracies and allows us to (a) refine the constraints on single galaxy masses and on the galaxy mass-to-light scaling relation and, as a result, (b) refine the constraints on the DM-only map, a high-end goal of lens modelling. The knowledge of cluster member velocity dispersions improves the fit by 17 per cent in terms of the image reproduction χ2, or 20 per cent in terms of the rms. The constraints on the mass parameters improve by ˜10 per cent for the DH, while for the galaxy component, they are refined correspondingly by ˜50 per cent, including the galaxy halo truncation radius. For an L* galaxy with M^{*}B=-20.96, for example, we obtain best-fitting truncation radius r_tr^{*}=20.5^{+9.6}_{-6.7} kpc and velocity dispersion σ* = 324 ± 17 km s-1. Moreover, by performing the surface brightness reconstruction of the southern giant arc, we improve the constraints on rtr of two nearby cluster members, which have measured velocity dispersions, by more than ˜30 per cent. We estimate the stripped mass for these two galaxies, getting results that are consistent with numerical simulations. In the future, we plan to apply this analysis to other galaxy clusters for which velocity dispersions of member galaxies are available
