Last years the attention of researchers is involved in studying of role of calcic homeostasis infringements in development of not only bone rarefication, but also osteoartrosis, arteriosclerosis, arterial hypertension, demention. Mentioned diseases, alongside with a bone rarefication, are the most frequently occured in persons of advanced age. The given pathology is offered for defining(determining) as estrogen- deficiency diseases, calcium-scarcediseases. The definition of pathogenetic interrelation between metabolic infringements in postmenopause and the various somatic pathology arising during the given period of time still remains one of the actual problems. The purpose of the present research was studying frequency of occurrence, a degree of expressiveness of climacteric symptoms and extragenital diseases depending on level of MDBT at women with identical duration of estrogen deficiency conditions after the introduction in natural and surgical menopause. 120 women in the age of44-54 years old (mean age 52,50,4 y.o.) were examined and included in the 1st group of study, the Ilnd group consisted of 80 women after ovarioectomy in the age of 38-52 y.o. (mean age 46,22,3 y.o.). There were revealed that life quality of women who had entered in postmenopause after ovarioectomy was worse in comparison with life quality of women in natural postmenopause. The certain interrelation between degree of some climacteric symptoms expressiveness, intensity of painful syndrome in osteo-muscular system, prevalence of extragenitaldiseases and level of MDBT was revealed.

The paper presents the definition of quality of life and its relationship with sustainable development. The paper analyses and compares the indicators of quality of life in Lithuania with other countries. A quality of life is an explicit or implicit policy goal. Various measurements and indicators to evaluate a quality of life were proposed during the recent years however there are no widely accepted objective indicators of quality of life able to compare countries. Sustainable development concept proposes new approach to measure quality of life. Therefore the aim of sustainable development is to increase quality of life. Quality of life can be addressed in terms of people health, the state of economy, employment, infrastructure development, crime and environment. All these indicators are interrelated as economic development creates preconditions to maintain public health, develop social and technical infrastructure, to increase employment, to ensure quality of environment, to tackle with crime etc. From the other point of view healthy and satisfied with the quality of life nation have positive impact on stable economic growth.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating effect of organizational embeddedness in the relationship between quality of work life (QWL) and turnover under a foundation of conservation of resources theory. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 422 healthcare professionals through a questionnaire survey, and analyzed by means of a confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Findings The results indicate that organizational embeddedness has a negative impact on employees’ intention to leave, and on actual turnover. For QWL perception, career opportunities, work life balance, and job characteristics are positive and significant predictors of organizational embeddedness. In addition, organizational embeddedness plays an intermediary role that mediates the relationship between the three components of QWL mentioned earlier and turnover intention, and also between the factor of career opportunities and actual turnover. Research limitations/implications The current research took place within two healthcare organizations. Replicating the study in a variety of business sectors or professions with a larger sample of subjects would be useful for the generalizability of the findings. Practical implications Organizations may improve their retention of employees by offering intrinsic resources that can be obtained from the social contexts of the individual through human resource management system, e.g., growth opportunities, a healthy and caring work life quality. Such motivational resources then develop a sense of obligation toward their places of employment, which influences their intention to stay or leave. Originality/value This study examines the mediating role of organizational embeddedness between employees’ perception of their work life quality and their desire and behavior to withdraw, which is an area of inquiry that has not been fully investigated in the literature.

Defining quality of life is a difficult task as it is a subjective and personal experience. However, for the elderly, this definition is necessary for making complicated healthcare-related decisions. Commonly these decisions compare independence against safety or longevity against comfort. These choices are often not made in isolation, but with the help of a healthcare team. When the patient’s concept of quality of life is miscommunicated, there is a risk of harm to the patient whose best interests are not well understood. In order to bridge this gap in understanding and unite seniors with their caretakers as a cohesive team, we need to establish a definition of quality of life. In this paper, my personal experiences with the elderly will be analysed along with five essays on the topic of ageing. These sources provide clear evidence that quality of life for seniors is majorly determined by the ability to preserve one’s lifelong identity. When making difficult decisions in geriatric healthcare, this greater understanding of the determinants of life quality will allow treatments to best serve the elderly. Defining quality of life allows healthcare providers to shift the focus from minimising disability toward maximising ability. I believe this shift would provide seniors with better health outcomes and properly enhance the quality of their years.

Aged care is projected to be the fastest-growing sector within the health and community care industries (Reynolds, 2009). Strengthening the care-giving workforce, compliance, delivery, and technology is not only vital to our social infrastructure and improving the quality of care, but also has the potential to drive long-term economic growth and contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This chapter examines the role of Knowledge Management (KM) in aged care organizations to assist in the delivery of aged care. With limited research related to KM in aged care, this chapter advances knowledge and offers a unique view of KM from the perspective of 22 aged care stakeholders. Using in-depth interviewing, this chapter explores the definition of knowledge in aged care facilities, the importance of knowledge planning, capture, and diffusion for accreditation purposes, and offers recommendations for the development of sustainable knowledge management practice and development.

Surgery and chemotherapy are common treatment modalities used to manage disease and symptoms in palliative settings where the disease is incurable. These treatment modalities can lead to deteriorations in a patient’s quality of life (QOL). The benefits of palliative surgery and chemotherapy should always focus on QOL, symptom control, and symptom prevention. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the definition of palliative surgery and chemotherapy, describe common indications for surgery and chemotherapy for palliative treatment intent, and discuss the role of nursing in caring for patients who are receiving palliative surgery and chemotherapy.

Recent studies have analysed the essential role of interpoetic rivalry in Aristophanes' comic imagination. Zachary Biles has shown that ‘festival agonistics provide an underlying logic for the overall thematic design of individual plays’ and that ‘the plays can be treated as creative responses to the competitions.’ Aristophanes' dramatisation of comic competition has been viewed as a reflection of the struggles of political factions in late-fifth-century Athens or as an expression of a ‘rhetoric of self-promotion’ that builds the comic plot through the mutual borrowing of comic material (jokes, running gags). This paper suggests thatKnightspresents interpoetic rivalry as a conflict of embodied aesthetic modes. In this play, Aristophanes' tendentious definition of his comic self against his predecessor Cratinus results in opposed ways of conceptualising the sonic quality of dramatic performance and its material effects on the audience. The nexus of voice and temporality, which, as I argue, shapes the play's agonistic plot, equates the intergenerational duelling of Aristophanes' and Cratinus' political counterparts (the Sausage Seller and the older Paphlagon, respectively) to a contrast of somatic experiences grounded in sound.

AbstractSpinal metastasis is usually associated with debilitating pain and results in deteriorating life quality. The role of percutaneous management of spinal metastasis has evolved from a diagnostic role to a significant part of therapeutic options in conjunction with conventional management techniques, including radiotherapy and open surgical options. Percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) showed substantial pain reduction, vertebral stabilization, and improvement of quality of life. Minimally invasive local ablative procedures (MILAPs) demonstrated significant pain reduction, local tumor burden control, and improvement of quality of life. Though combined PVA and MILAP's synergistic role in pain reduction may need additional investigation, considering different actions on spine metastasis patients, combining both techniques might beneficial to selected patients. The role of percutaneous management will likely expand since its role in improving patient's quality of life with very minimal procedure-related risk and in conjunction with future technological advancement.

ABSTRAKBibliografi sangat penting bagi peneliti khususnya peneliti di Pusat Penelitian Sosial Ekonomi Kelautan dan Perikanan. Tujuan penulisan makalah memberikan gambaran pentingnya bibliografi dalam mendukung tugas peneliti. Makalah ini menguraikan tentang pengertian dan definisi bibliografi jenis-jenis bibliografi, serta peranan bibliografi bagi peneliti. Peneliti perlu memahami biliografi ini untuk menunjukkan tentang kegiatan-kegiatan penelitian yang telah dan akan dilakukan oleh peneliti lain. Fungsi lain dari bibliografi adalah sebagai bagian dari jasa pelayanan perpustakaan kepada pemustaka. Dengan menerbitkan suatu bibliografi, pustakawan dapat menawarkan koleksinya kepada pemakai tanpa harus mengeluarkan seluruh koleksi yang dimilikinya, serta dapat menjangkau pemustaka yang tinggal jauh dari perpustakaan. Dengan demikian maka, bibliografi dapat digunakan sebagai bahan rujukan terhadap koleksi perpustakaan. Selain itu diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan bagi pengelola perpustakaan yang lainnya dalam meningkatkan kualitas layanan kepada pemustaka khususnya peneliti.ABSTRACTThe Bibliography is very important for  researchers in particular those at the Marine and Fisheries for   Socio-Economic Research Center. The purpose of writing this paper is to give an illustration of  the importance of the bibliography  to support  the task of researchers. It describes   the definition of  bibliogra-phy, the   types of bibliographic, as well as the role of  bibliography for  researchers. Researchers need to understand bibliography in order to  show other researchers the research activities that have been and will be conducted.  Another function of the bibliography is as a part  of the library services to the patrons/users. By publishing a bibliography, librarians  can offer  their  collection to the users without having to  displaytheir entire collection, and they can also  reach those who are in remote places away from the library. Therefore, the bibliography can be  used  as a reference material to the library collection as well as a reference for other  library managers in  improving the quality of their service to the patrons especially researchers
