TITLE MANAGER AND CONFLICT IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS

In an era of constant change, the management of conflict becomes a common practice. Managers of public organizations are often confronted with conflicts, which forces them to adapt their arsenal of tools, methods and techniques used to solve disputes. The article presents the results of the research undertaken in a public institution about the perception of employees with respect to how managers act when conflicts arise. There are also displayed some recommendations to improve the way conflicts are approached.conflict; conflict management; public sector; change

Иммунологические исследования в практике первичной медицинской помощи (состояние и перспективы)

Laboratory of Allergology and Clinical Immunology, Nicolae Testemitanu State Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Congresul III al Medicilor de Familie din Republica Moldova, 17–18 mai, 2012, Chişinău, Republica Moldova, Conferinţa Naţională „Maladii bronhoobstructive la copii”, consacrată profesorului universitar, doctor habilitat Victor Gheţeul, 27 aprilie, Chişinău, Republica MoldovaIntroducere. Testarea statusului imun al organismului uman este una din verigile prioritare în descifrarea mecanismelor imunopatogenetice, diagnosticul de laborator şi monitorizarea eficacităţii tratamentului suplimentat cu remedii imunotrope al multor maladii. Actualmente Centrele Medicilor de Familie şi Asociaţiile Medico-Teritoriale din republică sunt dotate cu echipament contemporan pentru realizarea cercetărilor imunoenzimatice în multiple stări patologice. Acest fapt a favorizat performanţa diagnosticului imunologic al maladiilor infecţioase, stărilor autoimune, tumorilor, alergozelor, colagenozelor etc. Discuţii În pofida implementării pe larg a metodei imunoenzimatice în diagnosticul de laborator al asistenţei medicale primare, o problema stringentă şi nerezolvată o constituie testarea statusului imun prin determinarea populaţiilor şi subpopulaţiilor limfocitare cu utilizarea anticorpilor monoclonali (anti-CD3, -CD4, -CD8, -CD16, -CD20, -CD25, -CD70), aprecierea cantitativă a imunoglobulinelor serice, clasele M, G, A şi E, activităţii fagocitare a mononuclearelor şi polimorfonuclearelor. Detecţia cantitativă a populaţiilor limfocitare poate fi realizată prin flaucitometrie sau imunofluorescenţă indirectă. Testul de rozetare, utilizat actualmente în unele laboratoare, este considerat neinformativ şi nu se utilizează nici într-o ţară, şi argumentează necesitatea implementării metodelor acceptate în plan internaţional. Medicului primar îi revine rolul prioritar în diagnosticul imunodeficienţelor primare şi secundare, care necesită o cercetare imunologică minuţioasă cu o corecţie a dereglărilor imune prin utilizarea remediilor imunotrope. Imunomodularea răspunsului imun în diverse stări patologice este inadmisibilă fără aprecierea prealabilă a valorilor indicilor statusului imun. De menţionat faptul administrării imunomodulatorilor în diverse stări morbide în baza tablou-lui clinic. Doar evaluarea manifestărilor clinice în asociere cu monitoringul indicilor, statusul imun pe parcursul tratamentului suplimentat cu remedii medicamentoase cu acţiune imunotropă va avea aport informaţional despre eficacitatea tratamentului administrat. Împlementarea metodelor de testare a statusului imun ar facilita optimizarea procedeelor de diagnosticare a stărilor imunopatologice, frecvent înregistrate în medicina primară. De o importanţă majoră este şi testarea statusului imun cu aprecierea imunităţii celulare şi umorale, a sensibilizării organismului la diverşi agenţi infecţioşi, remedii medicamentoase şi chimice în procesul de pregătire prevaccinală a persoanelor cu stări imunodeficitare şi alergice pentru selecţia unei tractici şi modalităti optime de utilizare a preparatelor de profilaxie imună. Actualmente, tot mai frecvent se constată modificări ale antigenelor celulelor sanguine (de ex., eritrocite) în stările tumorale, ciroză hepatică, bacteriemie etc, care fac dificilă aprecierea grupurilor sanguine şi duc la erori în interpretarea lor. În scopul profilaxiei acestora este necesară realizarea metodei încrucişate cu eritrocite standard şi seruri izohemaglutinabile sau anticorpi monoclonali, precum şi utilizarea reagenţilor monoclonali anti-A1, A-slab. De regulă, în laboratoarele de diagnostic imunologic se efectuează testarea grupului sanguin numai cu utilizarea anticorpilor monoclonali, ceea ce contravine legislaţiei în vigoare. Concluzii 1. Valorificarea stărilor de deficienţă imună, alergice, monitorizarea eficacităţii tratamentului suplimentat cu remedii imunotrope necesită utilizarea metodelor de testare a statusului imun. 2. Utilizarea reagenţilor de specificitate selectivă în testările izoimunologice ar contribui la reducerea numărului de erori la testarea grupurilor sanguine în condiţiile de normă şi diferite afecţiuni imunopatologice

Helmholtz's inverse problem of the discrete calculus of variations

International audienceWe derive the discrete version of the classical Helmholtz's condition. Precisely, we state a theorem characterizing second order finite differences equations admitting a Lagrangian formulation. Moreover, in the affirmative case, we provide the class of all possible Lagrangian formulations

Direct and Inverse Variational Problems on Time Scales: A Survey

We deal with direct and inverse problems of the calculus of variations on arbitrary time scales. Firstly, using the Euler-Lagrange equation and the strengthened Legendre condition, we give a general form for a variational functional to attain a local minimum at a given point of the vector space. Furthermore, we provide a necessary condition for a dynamic integro-differential equation to be an Euler-Lagrange equation (Helmholtz's problem of the calculus of variations on time scales). New and interesting results for the discrete and quantum settings are obtained as particular cases. Finally, we consider very general problems of the calculus of variations given by the composition of a certain scalar function with delta and nabla integrals of a vector valued field.Comment: This is a preprint of a paper whose final and definite form will be published in the Springer Volume 'Modeling, Dynamics, Optimization and Bioeconomics II', Edited by A. A. Pinto and D. Zilberman (Eds.), Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics. Submitted 03/Sept/2014; Accepted, after a revision, 19/Jan/201

The European heir certificate

Opening the borders of member states and the circulation of all citizens within the European states resulted in succession procedures with foreign elements. In this context, the following question arose: which law will apply in the case of a succession procedure of a citizen who used to live in a state without having the citizenship of that state, but also when the inheritance contains goods that are located on the territory of another state? In order to unify European law and to avoid discriminatory treatment, these situations had to be regulated by a document which would apply throughout the entire European Union. That is why, starting with August 15th, 2015, The European Union enforced EU Regulation no 650 of July 4th, 20012, of the European Parliament and the Council regarding the competence, the applicable law, the acknowledgement and the execution of legal sentences and the acceptance and performance of authentic documents in regard to succession and the creation of a European heir certificate

Long-Range Correlation in Atomic Vibration οf Chicken Lysozyme Backbone

Within this study we use methods such as spectral analysis that gives the spectral coefficient β, detrended fluctuations analysis that gives the scaling exponent α and the determination of Hurst exponent (H) to analyze the spatial series corresponding to the temperature factors of N, C-alpha, C and O atoms of 14 complexes of the chicken lysosyme. The mean values of the investigated parameters obtained for the 14 complexes are: β=1.779 ± 0.086, α=1.382 ± 0.009 and H=0.916. These values reveal long-range correlation in atomic vibrations corresponding to the chicken lysozyme backbone

Composition and structure variation for magnetron sputtered tantalum oxynitride thin films, as function of deposition parameters

Tantalum oxynitride thin films were produced by magnetron sputtering. The films were deposited usinga pure Ta target and a working atmosphere with a constant N2/O2ratio. The choice of this constant ratiolimits the study concerning the influence of each reactive gas, but allows a deeper understanding of theaspects related to the affinity of Ta to the non-metallic elements and it is economically advantageous.This work begins by analysing the data obtained directly from the film deposition stage, followed bythe analysis of the morphology, composition and structure. For a better understanding regarding theinfluence of the deposition parameters, the analyses are presented by using the following criterion: thefilms were divided into two sets, one of them produced with grounded substrate holder and the otherwith a polarization of −50 V. Each one of these sets was produced with different partial pressure of thereactive gases P(N2+ O2). All the films exhibited a O/N ratio higher than the N/O ratio in the depositionchamber atmosphere. In the case of the films produced with grounded substrate holder, a strong increaseof the O content is observed, associated to the strong decrease of the N content, when P(N2+ O2) is higherthan 0.13 Pa. The higher Ta affinity for O strongly influences the structural evolution of the films. Grazingincidence X-ray diffraction showed that the lower partial pressure films were crystalline, while X-rayreflectivity studies found out that the density of the films depended on the deposition conditions: thehigher the gas pressure, the lower the density. Firstly, a dominant -Ta structure is observed, for lowP(N2+ O2); secondly a fcc-Ta(N,O) structure, for intermediate P(N2+ O2); thirdly, the films are amorphousfor the highest partial pressures. The comparison of the characteristics of both sets of produced TaNxOyfilms are explained, with detail, in the text.This work was supported by FEDER through the COMPETE Program and by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) in the framework of the Strategic Project PEST-C/FIS/UI607/2013.
