Global crises are very rare events. After the Great Depression and the Great Stagflation, new macroeconomic paradigms associated with a new policy regime emerged. This book addresses how some macroeconomic ideas have failed and examines which theories researchers should preserve and develop. It questions how the field of economics – still reeling from the global financial crisis initiated in the summer of 2007 – will respond.
The contributors, nine highly-renowned macroeconomists, highlight the virtues of eclectic macroeconomics over an authoritarian normative approach. They illustrate that macroeconomic reasoning can still be a useful tool for carrying out practical policy analysis. As for emerging research programmes, their wide-ranging chapters remind us that there are positive approaches to and reasons to believe in old-fashioned macroeconomics.

When the euro was introduced, it was heralded as the symbol of a unified Europe. Not enough consideration was given at the time, however, to how member economies could adjust to differences in economic performance or how to manage debt crises. Today, amidst a broader North Atlantic financial and economic crisis, the eurozone is in turmoil, beset by stresses and strains that could challenge Europe's very construction.
How should eurozone countries tackle their current crisis? How did it come about, and how may it be resolved? What does it mean for Europe's historic experiment in political and economic integration? Will the eurozone crisis be remembered as the moment when the EU finally cracked? Or as the spur to a more integrated and competitive Union?
The Center for Transatlantic Relations and the Cournot Centre asked the authors in this timely volume to address these questions. Their varying perspectives are invaluable to anyone seeking to understand the roots of Europe's economic crisis and how it may affect Europe's future.
This book is unique in its broad coverage of the concept of division of labour. The variety of contributions highlight its shape, showing that it is not just limited to the old notions of the degree of the division of labour among productive units, along the lines of Adam Smith, or the degree of specialization amongst countries, along the lines of David Ricardo. Through different lenses, the authors present a panoramic and detailed view of contemporary analyses, including not only gender, but also assets, sectors and nations. The book edited by Robert Solow and Jean-Philippe Touffut therefore provides a refreshing new vision on one of the oldest concepts popular in economic analyses.
How is work divided up in the household, within an industry, a nation or between continents? What are the dynamics of the division of labour? The wide-ranging contributions to this book explore these questions from technological, capital and political perspectives. They include in-depth studies of gender, the firm, countries' economic specializations, ICTs, foreign direct investment and agriculture. The ten distinguished contributors – scholars, economists and practitioners – take stock of the shape of the division of labour and provide useful policy recommendations.
View the contributors' presentations given at the Cournot Centre's conference, The New International Division of Labour, held 12-13 November 2009.
The book launches took place in Washington, D.C. on 3 December and in Copenhagen on 8 December 2009.
This volume brings a remarkable variety of viewpoints on appropriate policy to meet the threats brought on by man-made climate change. Not only economic theory but broader political and methodological perspectives are brought to bear by an authoritative set of authors, in what is certainly a significant contribution to the debate.
How did climate change become an economic issue? Why is economic discourse so influential on the public policy of climate change? How can it best contribute to the scientific and public debates? Eight eminent scholars explain in this book both how economics has changed environmental understanding and how the study of climate change has modified the economy.
Changing Climate, Changing Economy will interest researchers and students in a variety of fields including environmental policy economics, ecological economics, public policy and the environment as well as environmental ethics. Climatologists, environmentalists, public policy advisers and analysts will also find this book invaluable.

The 2008 financial crisis has caused the validity of theshareholder-oriented model to be scrutinized. Was the model right? Was it just that the regulations were inadequate, or was it the financiers' greed? Should we not have earnestly searched for another model? Originally presented a year before the crisis, thepapers in this volume did more than anticipate such debate. This book provides excellent food for thought for anyone interested inhow to reconstruct the corporate economy.
Do modes of management depend on company ownership? Does macroeconomic performance rely on shareholder value? The contributions collected in this book explore these questions from economic, historical and legal perspectives. They examine company ownership through the study of national institutions, with particular focus on North America and Europe. The 12 economic and legal specialists of this volume seek to explain why firms organized along the shareholder model have not outperformed other forms of ownership. Answers lie in the historical and institutional background of each country.
This book will appeal to a wide-ranging audience encompassing researchers, students and academics in the fields of corporate governance, company law, finance and organization theory.
The first versions of these texts were presented at the Cournot Centre's conference, Does Company Ownership Matter?, held 29-30 November 2007.
Theories and practices in central banking and monetary policyhave changed radically over recent decades with independenceand inflation targeting as the new keywords. This book offers interesting perspectives on the drivers of this developmentand its implication. It addresses contemporary questions onaccountability, transparency and objectives for monetary policy as well as current policy problems related to globalization andfinancial imbalances. The book is topical, insightful and well written – a must for everybody with an interest in central bankingand monetary policy.
Central banks have gained greater independence from government control over the last 20 years. This widespread trend throws up new questions regarding the foundations, prerogatives and future of this economic institution. This book provides a better understanding of the current financial crisis through the in-depth study of the central bank. Researchers in the fields of monetary theory, monetary policy and central banking will find this volume of great interest. It will also appeal to students of economics, political economy, banking and finance, as well as economists, academics, and public policy advisers and analysts.
The first versions of these texts were presented at the Cournot Centre's conference, Central Banks as Economic Institutions, held 30 November and 1 December 2006.
This rich and fascinating collection of essays helps enormously to establish the reputation of Augustin Cournot as a diverse and powerful thinker, whose numerous contributions range far beyond his widely acknowledged model of oligopoly. Cournot is revealed not merely as a mathematician, but one who was engaged in philosophical debates concerning epistemology and the nature of science. Anyone with the preconception that the development of modern economics was confined to the Anglophone world – from Smith through Marshall to the Nobel Laureates of today – will be amazed by the details of Cournot's contribution revealed here.
"If Augustin Cournot had still been alive, he could have won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics on at least three different occasions", exclaimed Nobel Laureate Robert Aumann during the 2005 Cournot Centre conference. From his earliest publications, Cournot broke from tradition with his predecessors in applying mathematical modelling to the social sphere. Consequently, he was the first to affirm the mathematization of social phenomena as an essential principle. The fecundity of Cournot's works stems not only from this departure, but also from a richness that irrigated the social sciences of the twentieth century.
In this collection, the contributors – including two Nobel Laureates in economics – highlight Cournot's profound innovativeness and continued relevance in the areas of industrial economics, mathematical economics, market competition, game theory and epistemology of probability and statistics. Each of the seven authors reminds us of the force and modernity of Cournot's thought as a mathematician, historian of the sciences, philosopher and, not least, as an economist. Combining an epistemological perspective with a theoretical one, this book will be of great interest to researchers and students in the fields of economics, the history of economic thought, and epistemology.
The first versions of these texts were presented at the Cournot Centre's conference, Augustin Cournot, Economic Models and Rationality, held 1-2 December 2005.
This is a timely and thought-provoking book which brings the discussion of public goods to confront the contemporary world economy where such goods have often a global nature and require super-national provision and control.
In this wide-ranging selection of papers, distinguished economists, public policy advisers and political theorists contribute to the debate on public goods. The studies cover topics in the conceptualization, classification and stratification of public goods.
Also examined are public institutional design, global economic institutions and partnership typologies. Individual papers address the financing, regulatory, organizational and legal aspects relating to services of general interest in Europe. The dynamics of global public good production, including monopolies, patents, scientific uncertainty and market failures, are discussed. Empirical research on the state, profit and non-profit sectors is presented. Providing numerous examples of specific public goods, the contributions also highlight the impact of macroeconomic policies on provision. The book presents a broad diversity of new approaches to global public goods within the framework of mixed economies, beyond the standard economic analysis of public services. Academics, researchers and policymakers in the area of global public goods and services will find this volume of great interest.
The first versions of these texts were presented at the Cournot Centre's conference, Public Sector, Private Sector: New National and International Frontiers, held 2-3 October 2003.
Corporate Governance Adrift is a challenging book… the authors have succeeded in creating a work that is consistently fascinating and an argument that is lucid and gripping without ever compromising its intellectual weight.
Recent corporate governance scandals have brought to the fore the inherent contradictions of a capitalism dominated by financial markets. This challenging book by Michel Aglietta and Antoine Rebérioux argues that capitalism's basic premise – that companies must be managed in the sole interest of their shareholders – is incongruent with the current environment of liquid markets, profit-hungry investors and chronic financial instability.
The authors advocate rather that a company should be managed as an institution where common objectives are developed for all stakeholders, and that this democratic principle should be extended to the management of collective savings to reduce macro-financial instability. These two conditions, they contend, could make contemporary capitalism a vehicle for social progress.
Corporate Governance Adrift has been translated and published in Spanish and is forthcoming in Portuguese.
How significant was the internet boom and bust? Robert Boyer brings significant and fresh insight to efforts to situate the meaning of the digital transformation through which we are living. With analytic discipline and historical perspective, Boyer provides an important interpretation that will be valuable to scholar and teacher, those just curious about the internet development and those who lived through it.
In this book, Robert Boyer follows the origins, course a broad spectrum of issues ranging from labour markets to corporate governance. Growth paths within the OECD are also assessed, with particular emphasis on contrasts between US and European models. The book seeks to identify those institutional factors, taking into account different national trajectories, which might serve to promote economic growth in Europe. and collapse of the "new economy" and proposes a new interpretation of US dynamism during the 1990s.
He argues that the diffusion of information and communication technologies is only part of a story that also requires understanding of the transformation of the financial system, the reorganization of the management of firms and the emergence of a new policy mix. The book includes a long-term retrospective analysis of technological innovation, and an international comparison of O.E.C.D. countries delivers an unconventional and critical assessment of the hope and the hype of the "new economy".
The Future of Economic Growth has been translated and published in Japanese.
While interest in innovation and economic growth has exploded in the economics literature in recent years, the role of institutions has been largely overlooked. With publication of this book, Jean-Philippe Touffut brings together a leading group of international scholars to provide a path-breaking rigorous analysis of the links between institutions, innovative activity and economic growth. The conclusions from the volume are unequivocal – not only do institutions matter in shaping economic growth, but also their impact can be understood in a systematic and predictable manner.
This book contains informed and informing contributions by noted scholars on innovation and growth – surely the most critical topics for economic welfare in the long run. The essays will be most satisfying to students and others seeking greater relevance in the analytic materials of our literature.
The specific texts presented here were selected to give an overview of the Cournot Centre's first two conferences: Institutions and Growth (9-10 November 2000) and The Sources of Technical Change (7-8 June 2001).

Are Tissot Watches Good?
By YAM April 2, 2022 Blog 0 Comments
The Tissot watches brand is certainly one of the most respected Swiss brands on the market. Tissot originated in Switzerland and, like all Swiss watch brands, you can be assured of reliability and performance.
Unlike Swiss watches, Tissot produces high-quality watches that are most affordable for every budget.
The company was founded in Switzerland in 1853 by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile Tissot. Tissot has been a subsidiary of the Swiss Swatch Group Since 1983.
In addition, to watch production, Tissot is also known for its latest developments inaccurate timing of specific events, such as mounting sensors on bikes and tracks and then interconnecting them with computers to display real-time performance data.

Why is Tissot so expensive?
Is Tissot watch worth buying?
How long do Tissot automatic watches last?
Is TISSOT better than SEIKO?
Is TISSOT watches high quality?
Does Tissot make its movement?
How much does a Tissot watch cost?
What is the value of Tissot watches?
Where are Tissot watches made? Are Tissot watches made in Switzerland?
Who wears Tissot watches?
Yes. Tissot watches are premium Swiss-made watches backed by quality and over 160 years of innovation. Tissot has an impressive collection of dynamic sports watches, daring diver models, elegant dress watches, and sporty chronographs, and the brand even created the world's first touchscreen, solar-powered watches.
Tissot has been able to acquire and maintain a good reputation in the watchmaking industry for its long history and is a true Swiss brand from its inception. A recent merger with the Swatch Group launched cutting-edge designs that fueled marketing and breathed new life into the brand.
Tissot is an old brand that is well known for producing quality watches. The design and construction of Tissot watches are outstanding, and many watch enthusiasts consider Tissot a "luxury cheap" brand.
Tissot is also innovating the design and function of its watches to keep up with current trends or stay one step ahead.
Tissot is considered a mid-range watch brand, not a luxury watch brand. This can be found in the Swatch Group portfolio, which shows where individual brands stand in terms of level.
Tissot watches are expensive because they are made in Switzerland by a respected company that pays close attention to detail in both design and materials. In addition, Tissot watches are more expensive because of their superior quality and stylish design.
However, the reason why many collectors like to buy a Tissot is that you can get a watch that is much cheaper, more accurate, and more beautiful than other famous Swiss luxury watch brands such as Rolex or Omega.
Tissot watches are worth buying! Tissot offers a wide range of high-quality watches that you will enjoy wearing and will last a lifetime.
It's also much cheaper than Swiss-made watches, so it's much easier to own several different Tissot watches to offer a wide range of watch options.
Tissot automatic watches can last up to 80 hours when fully wound. Most automatic watches on the market only last up to 36 hours. The Powermatic 80, Tissot's latest automatic caliber, was developed by Tissot's R&D in collaboration with ETA.
The design of this 80-hour power reserve caliber was made possible because:
New integrated spring barrel design for additional power reserve enhancement.
The redesigned movement is precise to microseconds, and an improved regulator system reduces the power required to operate the watch.
The material of the movement is made of ARCAP, a special combination of elements with completely antimagnetic properties.
One of the best Tissot Powermatic 80 watches is the Le Locle. This model exudes exquisite elegance with details such as Roman numerals and the classic Le Locle signature, as well as the finishing touches of a watch are all that it calls for. Best of all, this watch sells for around $500.
Tissot and Seiko watches are often compared to each other as they are luxury watches in a similar price range.
The main difference between Tissot and Seiko here is that Tissot is a Swiss brand with a history dating back to the 1800s, while Seiko is a respected Japanese watch brand for other reasons, including introducing the world's first quartz watch.
Also, while Seiko's high-end luxury range is classified as Grand Seiko, Tissot does not have a separate sub-brand for luxury-oriented products.
More than 150 years later, Tissot is still known worldwide as an excellent watchmaker. Tissot watches are made in Switzerland under strict conditions that guarantee quality. Tissot watches are also water-resistant to 30, 50, 100, 150, or 200 meters indicated on the case back.
In addition, Tissot's chronometer watches have received an official certificate from the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), which is considered the standard for accurate timekeeping performance.
Tissot doesn't make the most of his moves. The ETA movement is mainly used in Tissot watches. This is common with brands that are part of the Swatch Group.
As the Swatch Group is a Swiss conglomerate, it is common to share research and development among the brands within the group.
The reason for using the standard ETA movement is to keep costs low and price competitive so do not misunderstand. The ETA movement is by no means the definition of poor quality or 'cheap' movement. Self-manufactured movements can make watches more interesting in terms of craftsmanship and innovation.
However, it has the disadvantage that the movement is not tested for a long time and maybe defective in the early generations. So it's important to do your research on the moves you're getting so you don't get discouraged. Movement flaws usually don't take long to show up on watch forums and blogs.
A new Tissot watch typically costs around $500 to $1,000. However, the price may increase depending on the metal used or the mechanism used inside. Vintage used Tissot watches for sale on the second-hand market range in value from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on condition, material, and rarity.
However, the secondary market offers excellent value for luxury products from many brands with mechanical movements.
The value of a Tissot watch depends on factors such as the origin, rarity, condition, and material of the watch. Some vintage Tissot watches sell for hundreds of dollars, while others can cost thousands of dollars.
Although the average retail value of a Tissot watch is around $1,000, there is a significant difference between a stainless steel part with a quartz movement and a sturdy 18k gold watch powered by a chronometer-certified mechanical caliber.
Yes, Tissot watches have been headquartered in Le Locle, Switzerland since its inception. Therefore, all Tissot watches are completely Swiss. This means that the parts are procured locally, the movements used are Swiss, and assembly and inspection are also carried out in Switzerland.
Because everything is produced and made in the same country, the overall cost of production is lower, allowing brands to offer watches at lower prices.
The famous wearers of Tissot watches are Nelson Mandela, Angelina Jolie, Grace Kelly, and many more.

Marilyn Ines Rodriguez is a professionally trained classical sculptor whose main focus is the traditional representation of the human figure, and equine form. After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Science from SFSU, she moved to Europe where her fervor for classical sculpture was ignited by viewing and studying Europe's best art collections. When she returned to the U.S., she pursued her classical sculpture training for five years under the tutelage of Master Sculptor Harriet Moore in San Francisco, California.
Ms. Rodriguez's powerful style depicts a strong sense of movement, energy, and elegance that is easily recognized throughout her work. Most of her bronze sculptures are deliberately kept to "Limited Editions" of nine (9). Her horses have won National Competitions and Best in Show Awards, and her work can be found in private collections worldwide. She also collaborates with landscape architects, city planners and interior designers in creating original commissioned sculptures and outdoor fountains, and she accepts private commission works of any size, specific to one's needs and site.
Since 1996 Ms. Rodriguez has been sharing her knowledge and passion teaching Classical Figure Sculpture with professional models from her studio in San Francisco and is repeatedly invited to give live sculpture demonstrations at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco, California. She also offers sculpture workshops nationwide, gives private consultations and critiques, and in addition to her three-dimensional work, Ms. Rodriguez creates true to life, hand-drawn, commissioned portraits.
Author of "Methods and Measurement of The Human Skeletal System, an Artist's Perspective," (a 235 page book with over 180 original illustrations), Ms. Rodriguez has penned a must-have reference for all artists interested in increasing their knowledge of the human figure, and how the skeletal system influences our shape and is the point of departure for relative proportions.
Artist words: "I believe only when the blending of our intellect and intuition, anatomical knowledge and artistic perception, vulnerability and courage occur, will the artist experience that 'je ne sais quoi' or 'being in the zone.' This is a most unique and rewarding feeling, which in spite of all the external opposing forces, gives us the strength to continue walking the path of creativity."

Q: Load a keytab from HDFS I want to use Oozie with a Java Action which needs to use Kerberos.
I have my keytab in HDFS. How could I say that the file is in HDFS?
 Configuration conf = new Configuration();
 conf.set("hadoop.security.authentication", "Kerberos");
 UserGroupInformation.setConfiguration(conf);
 UserGroupInformation.loginUserFromKeytab(kerberosPrincipal, kerberosKeytab);

I have tried with a path like hdfs://xxxx:8020/tmp/myKeytab.keytab and I set conf.set("fs.defaultFS", "hdfs://server:8020"); as well but it doesn't work.

A: Hadoop delegation tokens work only for YARN and HDFS, and they expire after 7 days. For all other services -- especially HBase (via ZooKeeper), HiveServer2 (directly or via ZooKeeper), Hive Metastore (inside Hive CLI) -- you need to authenticate directly. For long-running services, you need to re-authenticate periodically to renew the delegation token (if you rely on Slider, it does that automatically for you)
Option 1: ask Oozie to generate the appropriate <credential> for your Action. I wish it really worked out-of-the-box and/or that it was better documented -- Hive works like a charm; not so with HBase; never tried Hive2 so I can't be sure.
Option 2: ask Oozie to download your custom keytab file from HDFS (you took care of restricting access to that keytab, didn't you???) to the CWD of your Launcher container with a <file> option, then generate your credentials all by yourself.
With a Java action it will be option 2.

Do you Believe in Astrology and Horoscope for Kids?
Do you believe in astrology and horoscope for kids? Well, this may sound a bit different topic from the other posts I shared before. But, when I found my kid's horoscope today, I just wanted to check about children astrology and write about some of my findings as a blog post. These details may help you to find some character details of your kids.
As parents we have a big responsibility on raising kids in a happy environment with good qualities and habits. But, it is always not an easy task. Kids show different behavior and we need to shape up them with all the good and positive things in order to face the future. However, we don't know their hidden talents and hidden character as we can't really see those while raising kids.
Do you prepare horoscope for kids?
However, with astrology you can find some future predictions and character readings by using the birth time or date. As a Sri Lankan, we have this tradition of preparing a horoscope for kids at the birth and checking the horoscope for any special occasion. We usually prepare a baby horoscope once a newborn comes to the world. With the horoscope, we also receive a detailed astrology reading which predicts the future and character of the person. I remember the day I delivered my child. I asked the doctor that I need the exact birth time to prepare his baby horoscope. We used his birth time to find letters for his name and after that we used it for many Sri Lankan traditions such as introducing solid food for first time and introducing books. Other than preparing auspicious time for special occasions, the future predictions and character details are helpful for identifying kid's behavior. So we can use such details to guide him for a better life.Although we don't completely rely on astrology,we use the astrology readings and predictions as a guide to avoid some situations.
Astrology and Horoscope for Kids may help for better parenting.
With my interest on reading about parenting and children astrology, I also found a website which shares more details on astrology. In the section for children astrology, I could find the details and character of my kids zodiac sign. It was really interesting to go through the site as I found the details are exactly what my child shows now. With my interest on finding more accurate children astrology reading online, finally I thought of sharing this post.If you are interested in reading about your kid's character ,please check http://astrology.care/ and the post about children astrology. The details you find about your kids will help you to take decisions when you guide them. That will sure help you as a guide for parenting!

Another Miracle at the Meadowlands, Except Meaningless This Time
By Joe DeLessio
Preseason football is the worst. The starters hardly play, and the exhibition slate is considered a success not if you win, but if you can get through it without suffering any major injuries. That said, anyone who made it to the last couple minutes of last night's Giants game against the Panthers saw the type of dramatic ending that we'd be talking about for years to come, had the game meant anything at all.
After Carolina scored with 57 seconds to play and added a two-point conversion to tie the game, the Giants went three and out and punted the ball back to the Panthers. But rather than take a knee, quarterback Hunter Cantwell dropped back to pass, got hit, and fumbled. Defensive end Tommie Hill recovered the ball and took it into the end zone with no time left on the clock, securing the Giants win. It's not exactly Herm Edwards's Miracle at the Meadowlands — because, again, this game didn't count — but the full game highlights are here, and video of the crazy last play is below.

A while back I wanted to use up some of my blue fabric from my fabric stash since the drawer was overflowing. My son had recently asked for a Star Wars quilt, so I decided to take care of both challenges at the same time.
Fast forward to the fall of that year, and I am participating in a rather large craft fair – one of the largest I'd done. I find out my booth is on the corner, and I panic because I simply can't have the side of my booth be the backs of the quilts hanging up on the inside. I needed something to hang on the outside of the booth, but I'd sold a couple of quilts on Etsy that would have done the job. I ran upstairs and asked my little buddy if I could borrow his Star Wars quilt for the show. He's such a good sport and didn't hesitate to agree. I placed it on the outside, and the visibility was excellent.
The original Star Wars quilt hanging outside my booth at a craft fair.
When I placed his quilt up, I expected it to gain some attention, but I wasn't prepared for how much attention it would garner. My booth neighbor behind me said that everyone who passed by her booth was talking about the Star Wars quilt. I had several people ask about what it would cost to make one for them since I had a "Not for Sale" tag on my son's. I joked that if he wasn't in charge of my end-of-life decisions I could have sold that quilt three times that day. So it seemed a no-brainer that I would make one to sell after that show.
It didn't hurt that I still had a lot of blue fabric left over from previous projects, gifted to me, or rescued from remnant bins. The first thing I did was to get out all the blue fabric I intended on using and placed it in the order I wanted.
All the blue fabric I intended on using.
After that, I cut them all into 3.5″ strips.
From there, I sewed the strips end-to-end and rolled them up on an empty tissue holder. The final radius of that roll was 4.25″.
There's not much new in the quilting world in regards to techniques, but I *might* be the first person I know of to use what I call the "chair technique". I had my husband video the beginning of the process.
From here, I sewed together the strips into pairs so as to make organizing easier.
It was here I realized I had much more than the original twin-size quilt goal. In fact, I had exactly enough strips cut to make TWO twin-sized quilts. I laid everything out and then picked up every other strip segment; this helped in that my strips were still going in order from lightest to darkest, allowing the silhouettes to be mostly in the lighter fabric.
I decided that I would make one with the original Luke and Darth Vader silhouettes like I had for my son, but the second one would be linked to the newest film and feature Rey and Kylo Ren.
Stayed tuned tomorrow for Episode 2.

Star Wars haikus! What's not to love?
Thanks for providing a link to the Star Wars quilt my grandson and I made. Your silhouette quilt is awesome, and I love your chair-to-chair measuring idea for the blue background strips!
Thanks! I loved seeing all the different designs for Star Wars quilts. They've really taken a life of their own. Funny enough, I'm happy to do silhouettes but have only just gotten over my fear of the dreaded HST.

1. It is necessary to take measures to stop the effects of damaging factors (remove the drowning person from the water, put out burning clothes, remove the injured person from the burning room or from the contamination zone with toxic substances, turn off the electric current, etc.). It should be remembered that the provision of assistance is associated with a certain risk. In contact with the blood and other secretions of the victim in some cases possible infection with infectious diseases (syphilis, AIDS, infectious hepatitis), electric shock, drowning while rescuing a drowning person, as well as other injuries. This in no way exempts from civil and moral responsibility to provide medical assistance to victims, but requires knowledge and compliance with safety measures.
When rendering assistance in a car accident, the victim is carried out from the carriageway and designates the accident site as an emergency stop sign or clearly visible signs.
2. It is important to be able to quickly and correctly assess the condition of the victim. On examination, it is first established whether it is alive or dead, then the severity of the lesion is determined, whether there is bleeding. In many cases, the affected person loses consciousness. The provider should be able to distinguish loss of consciousness from death.
If the victim's open eye is shielded with a hand and then quickly taken to the side, then a pupil is narrowed.
3. When signs of life are found, it is necessary to immediately begin to provide first aid. It is necessary to identify, eliminate or reduce the life-threatening manifestations of the lesion – bleeding, respiratory and cardiac arrest, impaired airway patency, severe pain. It should be remembered that the lack of a heartbeat, pulse, respiration and the reaction of pupils to light does not mean that the victim is dead.
Cadaverous spots and rigor mortis.
4 . Simultaneously with the provision of first aid, it is necessary to take measures to call an ambulance or transport the injured to a hospital. The ambulance call should not suspend the provision of first aid.
Reanimation of the victim. Resuscitation (revitalization) is the restoration of vital body functions, primarily respiration and blood circulation. Resuscitation is carried out in the absence of respiration and cardiac activity, or they are so depressed that they do not provide the minimum needs of the body.
The possibility of recovery is based on the fact that death never occurs immediately, it is always preceded by a transitional stage – a terminal state. .
The agony is characterized by darkened consciousness, a sharp disturbance of cardiac activity and a drop in blood pressure, respiratory distress, and lack of pulse. The skin of the affected person is cold, pale or bluish. After the agony, clinical death occurs, in which there are no major signs of life – breathing and heartbeat. It lasts 3 – 5 minutes. This time must be used for resuscitation.
A few minutes separating the state of clinical death from biological death do not leave time for conversations, vanity, reflections and expectations. Since a medical worker may not always be on the scene, every person should know the basic techniques of resuscitation and be able to use them correctly.
You must ensure that there is a pulse in the carotid artery and respiration.
If there is a pulse, and breathing is absent, immediately proceed to the artificial ventilation of the lungs.
Air injection rate 12-18 times per minute The effectiveness of mechanical ventilation can be assessed by raising the chest of the victim when filling his lungs blown air.
The lack of a pulse in the carotid artery is evidence of cardiac and respiratory arrest and requires urgent cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Recovery of the heart. In order to restore the work of the heart, in many cases it may be sufficient to carry out a precordial stroke. To this end, the palm of one hand is placed on the lower third of the sternum and a short and sharp punch of the other hand is applied to it. Then re-check the presence of a pulse in the carotid artery and, in its absence, proceed to an external cardiac massage and mechanical ventilation.
The arm should be in front, and the leg bent at the knee joint to prevent the victim from turning on the stomach. This is extremely important for the prevention of asphyxiation (suffocation) as a result of the fall of the tongue and the entry of foreign bodies into the airways. The fall of the tongue is often indicated by breathing, reminiscent of snoring, and sharply obstructed inhalation.
