Europe, different approaches to similar problems

Europe, different approaches to similar problems

Europe is a political reality, 28 countries with health systems with full responsibility of each member state, without a common portfolio of services and structures for planning, management and control. In terms of servicing two major agreements: emergency care through UE and more recently Cross-border Health Care Directive implemented October 2013. However the cover (portfolio of services), th...

Triangle Tilt and Steel Osteotomy: Similar Approaches to Common Problems

BACKGROUND Each year, thousands of children worldwide suffer obstetric brachial plexus nerve injuries resulting not only in primary nerve injury, but also in development of secondary muscle and bone deformities of the shoulder. The triangle tilt surgery has been developed and shown to effectively address these deformities. The triangle tilt procedure was initially designed by the lead author (R...

Becoming literate in different languages: similar problems, different solutions.

The teaching of reading in different languages should be informed by an effective evidence base. Although most children will eventually become competent, indeed skilled, readers of their languages, the pre-reading (e.g. phonological awareness) and language skills that they bring to school may differ in systematic ways for different language environments. A thorough understanding of potential di...

The Spread of Malaria to Southern Europe in Antiquity: New Approaches to Old Problems

Evaluating Different Approaches to Permeability Prediction in a Carbonate Reservoir

Permeability can be directly measured using cores taken from the reservoir in the laboratory. Due to high cost associated with coring, cores are available in a limited number of wells in a field. Many empirical models, statistical methods, and intelligent techniques were suggested to predict permeability in un-cored wells from easy-to-obtain and frequent data such as wireline logs. The main obj...
