Reactions of Oxygen Atoms with Van der Waals Complexes: The Effect of Complex Formation on the Internal Energy Distribution in the Products

Reactions of atomic oxygen with complexes containing HCl are investigated and the OH product state distributions are compared to those observed for the corresponding reactions of HCl monomers. In previous studies of reactions of O(3P) with HCl and hydrocarbon complexes, rotationally colder OH product state distributions were observed, when compared to the corresponding reactions of monomers. In contrast, we find that reactions of O(1D) with HCl clusters yield OH rotational distributions that are unaffected by the incorporation of HCl into a van der Waals complex. Quasiclassical trajectories are run on collisions of oxygen with HCl and Ar⋯HCl at 1 eV collision energies to investigate the differences in the dynamics of the O(1D) and O(3P) reactions. It is found that when the van der Waals complex is longer lived than the collision complex, rotational and vibrational cooling are observed. In contrast, when the dissociation of the van der Waals complex is prompt, compared to the collision complex lifetime, the effects of complex formation on the internal energy of the OH product become negligible

HIV-related discrimination reported by people living with HIV in London, UK

The objective was to examine the extent to which people living with HIV in London reported being discriminated against because of their infection. In 2004–2005, people living with HIV attending NHS outpatient HIV clinics in north east London were asked: “Have you ever been treated unfairly or differently because of your HIV status—in other words discriminated against?”. Of the 1,687 people who returned a questionnaire (73% response rate), data from 1,385 respondents were included in this analysis; 448 heterosexual women and 210 heterosexual men of black African origin, 727 gay/bisexual men (621 white, 106 ethnic minority). Overall, nearly one-third of respondents (29.9%, 414/1,385) said they had been discriminated against because of their HIV infection. Of those who reported experiencing HIV-related discrimination, almost a half (49.6%, 200/403) said this had involved a health care worker including their dentist (n = 102, 25.3%) or primary care physician (n = 70, 17.4%)

Трансформація балансу (звіту про фінансовий стан) у світлі нових цифрових технологій: досвід України

The paper contains suggestions on balance sheet (statement of financial position) transformation based on the Ukrainian reporting Form 1 in the context of approaching IFRS and European integration with the use of digital computer technologies to make it more analytical. Historical aspects of the balance sheet as an information base on the financial position of an enterprise are considered and clarified. Suggestions are put forward on transforming the assets of this reporting form in the light of digital computer technology, which is expected to improve the quality of its information content. In scientific literature, there are various ways of analyzing the financial position on the basis of the financial position statement data. Unfortunately, until recently, this issue was not sufficiently described in scientific literature with regard to the essence of the concept of financial position and a clear articulation of the organizational stages of its analysis, systematization of methods and obtained results at each stage, which necessitates the research.У роботі містяться пропозиції щодо трансформації балансу (звіту про фінансовий стан) на основі української звітності за формою 1 у контексті наближення до МСФЗ та євроінтеграції з використанням цифрових комп’ютерних технологій для надання йому більшої аналітичності. Розглянуто та з'ясовано історичні аспекти балансу як інформаційної бази про фінансовий стан підприємства. Висуваються пропозиції щодо трансформації активів цієї форми звітності з урахуванням цифрових комп'ютерних технологій, що передбачає підвищення якості її інформаційного наповнення. У науковій літературі зустрічаються різні способи аналізу фінансового стану на основі даних звіту про фінансовий стан. На жаль, до останнього часу це питання не було достатньо висвітлено в науковій літературі щодо сутності поняття фінансового становища та чіткого формулювання організаційних етапів його аналізу, систематизації методів та отриманих результатів на кожному етапі, що зумовлює необхідність дослідження
