Magyarországon 1993 és 2006 között a születéskor várható élettartam 4,14 évvel nőtt, és ehhez a cardiovascularis halandóság javulása 1,85 évvel járult hozzá. A lipidszintcsökkentő kezelés, a lipidcélértékek elérése az utóbbi években a cardiovascularis prevenció egyik súlyponti kérdése lett. A javuló tendencia ellenére az LDL-koleszterin-szint célértékének elérési aránya nem nagyobb egyharmadnál, és ebben leginkább az játszik szerepet, hogy a nem megfelelő szintű lipidcsökkentést igazoló eredménybe az orvosok nagyobb része (2007-ben 56%-a) beletörődik, nem igyekszik módosítani a kezelésen, pedig egyre több adat igazolja, hogy az alacsonyabb LDL-koleszterin-szint elérése nemcsak a klinikai kimenetelt javítja szignifikánsan, hanem költséghatékony is. Az utóbbi időszak legjelentősebb, statinnal végzett új vizsgálata a JUPITER, amely lipidszintjeik miatt statinkezelést nem igénylő, magas hs-CRP-szintű, nem ismert érbetegeken igazolta, hogy 20 mg rosuvastatin adásával szignifikánsan, 44%-kal csökkenthető a primer végpont (a cardiovascularis halálozás, nem halálos stroke és szívinfarktus, instabil angina vagy revascularisatio) és 20%-kal az összhalálozás előfordulása. Egy primer végpont megelőzéséhez 23 beteg 5 éves kezelése szükséges. Az eredmények felvetik a primer prevenció elvei és célértékei átgondolásának szükségességét, valamint azt, hogy minden lipidcsökkentő kezelésben nagyobb figyelmet kellene fordítani a betegek hs-CRP szintjére.

Youth Offender

This article presents findings from in-depth, semi-structured interviews with young offenders and Victim Liaison Officers, and observations of youth offender panels. It focuses upon the attitudes of young offenders towards victims and their reactions to the prospect of meeting the victim of their offending face-to-face as part of their referral order. Significant tensions between the aspirations of restorative justice and the reality of present practice in the English system are examined. The article proposes change in relation to justice disposals for incipient young offenders, particularly in relation to the ubiquitous use of restorative justice approaches for this group.

Piled Foundations

Results of a static loading test were used together with soil exploration records in a survey comprising analysis of the test records and estimating settlement of piled foundation to support a pipe rack. The test pile was a strain-gage instrumented, 400-mm diameter, precast, prestressed concrete pile driven into a clay and silt deposit to 25 m embedment. Two main issues were expected to be addressed by the survey participants: First, realization that the strain records were affected by presence of residual force in the pile and, second, calculation of the settlement of the piled foundation expected from the foundation load. A total of 52 submissions were received from 20 different countries. Only 12 of the submissions realized the presence of residual force. Most submissions reported a calculated settlement of the piled foundations ranging from 10 mm through 50 mm; however, 11 reported values between 60 and 200 mm. Surprisingly, only 20 submissions reported ground surface settlement close to the 200-mm value resulting from text-book analysis based on the available information. The subsequent construction of the piled foundations coincided with placing a fill across the site and lowering of the groundwater table, thus, causing a general subsidence.

ABSTRACTThis article examines various eighteenth-century sources to determine whether they confirm the present practice of calling a first-floor hall of the Fertőd (Eszterháza) palace the ‘music room’. While the answer is essentially negative, we learn that the neighbouring ceremonial hall was used by Empress Maria Theresia for a banquet with some music-making in 1773, and that two more spaces on the ground floor served regularly as the ‘summer music halls’. So where did the ‘real’, quality concerts take place? A whole body of documentary evidence clearly shows that theaccademiestook place in the opera house orGrosses Theater. Much of this evidence refers to the first opera house, which burnt down in 1779. The practice apparently continued in the new, bigger 1781 opera house, but by then the number of concerts would have been reduced substantially, owing to the Prince's growing addiction to opera. A survey of Haydn's last symphonies and concertos composed for domestic use confirms that regular concerts could not have taken place later than 1783 or, possibly, 1784. However, a long-neglected remark in a contemporary witness report provides direct proof of the inclusion of symphonies in the course of opera performances.
