Lifting the control rod sleeves (CRS) is one of the initial steps of the refuelling of the VVER-400-213 type reactor, which are operating at Paks NPP. If any fuel-cassette adheres to the CRS during its lift, it can result in unplanned exposure of the workers. The monitoring system has been recalibrated, because the first calibration of the monitoring system had been implemented 20 years ago, and Paks NPP had changed the fuel cycle from 12 months to 15 months. The task was performed under the refuelling outage of unit 1 in 2018. During preparatory works performed for refuelling of the same unit, at 6th May 2021 the monitoring system indicated the adhesion of the one of the fuel cassettes to the CRS. This work provides an overview about the operation of the system, about completed tasks relating to recalibration of the measuring system and about the adhesion event on the unit 1.

In this comprehensive analysis of Chile's air quality dynamics spanning 2016 to 2021, the utilization of data from the National Air Quality Information System (SINCA) and its network of monitoring stations was undertaken. Quintero, Puchuncaví, and Coyhaique were the focal points of this study, with the primary objective being the construction of predictive models for sulfur dioxide (SO2), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and coarse particulate matter (PM10).

Background: Belatacept is approved for the prophylaxis of organ rejection in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-seropositive kidney transplant recipients and is associated with a risk of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD).

Methods: Data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network were used to examine patterns of belatacept use, describe patient characteristics, and estimate risk of PTLD in EBV-seropositive, kidney-only transplant recipients receiving belatacept- or calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based immunosuppression as part of US Food and Drug Administration-mandated safety monitoring.

Results: During the study period (June 15, 2011-June 14, 2016), 94.

Measuring social, economic, policy, and health system determinants of maternal health and survival: An urgent global priority.

In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) released global targets and strategies for reducing maternal mortality in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) period developed through broad stakeholder consultations. The targets and strategies identified in the "Strategies toward Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality (EPMM)" report are grounded in a systemic and human rights approach to maternal health and aim to address the broad spectrum of key social, political, economic, and health system determinants of maternal health and survival, as exemplified by 11 Key Themes. These upstream determinants of maternal survival are not well represented in maternal health measurement efforts, which tend to focus on service delivery.
