A blood transfusion is the transfer of blood or blood products from a donor to a recipient. Transfusions are used to replace lost blood cells, increase oxygen-carrying capacity, or improve immunity. Blood can come from autologous donation by the recipient in advance or from volunteer/designated donors. All blood is tested and must match the recipient's type to avoid reactions. During a transfusion the blood is administered intravenously while monitoring for side effects.
This document summarizes a presentation on women and tobacco use globally. It finds that while smoking rates have declined among adult women, they have risen among teenage girls. Smoking-related diseases are becoming more prevalent in women. While women smoke less than men, their health risks from smoking are higher. Smoking may increase women's risks for osteoporosis, reproductive issues, and breast cancer. Quitting smoking may also be harder for women due to concerns like weight gain. A global, multi-pronged approach is needed to address this challenge.
Human resources plays an important role in the working environment by handling budget control, conflict resolution, and performance improvement. HR allows management to focus on their core jobs by strategically hiring the right people, protecting both front line staff and upper management, and ensuring fair treatment and disciplinary actions. HR also helps employees understand expectations of their job functions.
Three fungal isolates - Thermomyces lanuginosus (TMDU1), Aspergillus sp.I (TMDU2), and Aspergillus sp.II (TMDU3) - were isolated from soil and plant debris samples that were able to produce xylanase enzymes. TMDU1 was identified as the best xylanase producer based on qualitative enzyme assays. The isolates were further characterized based on morphological properties and microscopic analysis. TMDU1 demonstrated changing colony colors and conidia distribution, and was confirmed as the most promising xylanase producer for future studies into its enzymatic capabilities.
This document discusses simulations of diesel generator exhaust plumes near a high-rise building. Initial simulations found plumes could enter nearby air handling units. Later simulations examined plume impacts on building materials and a maintenance unit. Measurements of real plumes found model inaccuracies in near-field plume behavior. Solutions considered positioning exhaust stacks to minimize heat impacts while meeting space constraints. The final solution was a compromise flue location balancing dispersion and maintenance unit operation.
This document appears to be a chapter from a Mandarin Chinese textbook titled "Flash Card Intermediate 1". It contains flashcards with Mandarin words and phrases related to photography, including terms like "taking photos", "scenery", "reflection", "group photo", "actor", "size", "in front of", "eggplant", "camera lens cover", "waste", "expression", "photo", "first-rate", "wash", "blurry", "transparent", "photo developing store", "film", "negative", "other people", and "work". The chapter seems focused on vocabulary for discussing and taking photographs.

It's time to say 'bye' to KPIs - An introduction to DBPMCamryn Brown

The business environment is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA). Decision-making is an ever more difficult task - it must be effective and fast! As such, decision-makers now need more than an "indication" of what factors are key to understanding and managing performance. They need information that is accurate, complete, timely *and* that is ready-to-use without leaps of interpretation or inference.
The good news is that EY has a market-leading method to design and deliver the context and connectedness that transform indicators into truly useful decision-making insights. Our Driver-based Performance Management (DBPM) method identifies the internal and external factors that have a quantifiable impact on performance against strategy and quantifies those impacts.
This results in a structured model of business performance, which is more useful in much the same way that a completed jigsaw puzzle is more easily interpreted than a jumble of jigsaw pieces. Used consistently across backwards- and forwards-looking performance processes, debate can focus on the decision rather the data and what it might mean.
In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.
Enjoy this Bright Spot presentation from Ron Davis, Police Chief of East Palo Alto, ST Mayer of the San Mateo County Health System, and Sarah Lawrence of the Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy, UC Berkeley, which was presented at the 2013 Annual Leadership Conference, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Leadership (CHL) and the California Pacific Public Health Training Center (CALPACT) at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health.

The document discusses competency models and frameworks for human resources (HR). It defines competencies as underlying characteristics like skills, knowledge, and attitudes that result in effective job performance. An HR competency model consists of competencies, proficiency levels, and behavioral indicators to describe successful performance. The document provides examples of HR competency models and frameworks, including core HR competencies and roles like strategic partner, employee advocate, and functional expert. It also discusses how competency models can be developed and linked to HR systems.
