Spectral variations of AeBe Herbig stars in the Mon R1 association
We present the change in the Halpha emission-line profile of the spectra of
some AeBe Herbig stars. In the spectrum of VY Mon, Halpha may have one of three
profile types: P Cyg, P Cyg III or single line in accordance with the
brightness variations of the star. HD259431 now shows a double Halpha profile
with the red component stronger than the blue component, while in the earlier
observations the blue peak was higher than the red peak. Finally, the last
Halpha profile of LkHalpha215 is very similar to that obtained by Finkenzeller

The impact of 9/11 on hours of work in the United States
The purpose of this paper is to determine whether workers’ commitment to the labor force declined after 9/11, as many popular press accounts at the time suggested it would. The results indicate that any measured decline in hours spent working was the result of economic conditions rather than changes in desired hours of work. Controlling for economic conditions, hours of work after 9/11 actually increased on average compared to before 9/11; no significant change in hours spent working occurred among residents of New York City, however.
The influence of nanoparticles on biological objects
The modem opportunities o f medical care are basing on usage of new methods of diagnostic and treatment, including nanotechnologies and nanoobjects in clinical medicine and pharmacology. The experiment was carried out on 58 rats. The nanoparticles of iron oxide were used intranasally and by application on skin in kind of suspension. The methods were used: light, transmission, electron, probe and scanning microscopy with microelement analysi

The effectiveness of multifactorial and multicomponent interventions for the prevention of falls for adults in hospital settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of multicomponent and multifactorial interventions for reducing falls in adult in-patients. Falls are the most common cause of accidental injury in hospitals worldwide, resulting in high human and economic costs. In attempts to reduce the number of falls, a wide range of interventions have been employed, often in combination, either as a package (multicomponent) or tailored to the individual (multifactorial). There is a need to synthesise the findings from primary studies and assess which approach may be more effective. The systematic review included studies comprising adult inpatients aged 18 years and over from any hospital setting including elective, non-elective, day-case and secondary care. Randomized controlled trials (RCT), cluster-randomised trials, quasi-experimental controlled trials and historical controlled trials were included that presented sufficient information regarding the rate or number of falls. This effectiveness review was conducted in accordance with JBI methodology and was guided by an a priori protocol. A comprehensive 3-step search strategy was employed across 14 databases. Screening was conducted by two independent reviewers, and data was extracted using a bespoke data extraction tool designed for this review. Methodological quality was assessed using adapted versions of JBI critical appraisal checklists. Meta-analyses were conducted within a Bayesian framework to interpret results probabilistically and account for covariance in multiple sets of falls data reported in the same study. Effect sizes were calculated by comparing the rate or number of falls in the intervention group compared with usual care. Narrative syntheses were conducted on studies that met the inclusion criteria but did not provide sufficient data for inclusion in meta-analyses. A total of 9,637 records were obtained and following screening 24 studies were included in this review, 21 of which presented sufficient information to be included in meta-analyses. Most studies (n=16) comprised a weaker historical control design with 6 quasi-experimental and only 5 RCT studies. Multifactorial interventions were more common (n=18) than multicomponent (n=6), with the most frequent components including environmental adaptations and assistive aids (75% of studies). Meta-analyses provided evidence that both intervention types were effective at reducing the rate and risk of falls compared to usual care. Evidence was also obtained of greater reductions in rate and risk of falls with multicomponent interventions, however, analyses were potentially confounded by an association between intervention type and study design. Falls interventions routinely employed in hospitals can substantially reduce falls, however, no evidence was obtained in support of tailoring interventions to individual risk factors. Future high-quality RCTs are required that directly compare multicomponent and multifactorial interventions
The finite element method explicit scheme for a solution of one problem of surface and ground water combined movement
© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.We investigate the initial-boundary value problem for the system of two nonlinear degenerate parabolic combined equations, when the one of equations is set in the domain we consider, and the second is set on the conducted section of this domain. With help of the semidiscretization methods with respect to time variable and finite element method (FEM) with respect to space variable we construct an explicit difference scheme. We obtained conditions which provide us convergence of constructed method. The result of convergence was obtained with the minimum conditions for smoothness of the initial data
