Abstract:

The article presents the second Revision of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP)-European Union (EU) Partnership Agreement (Cotonou Agreement (CA)) and contains an outlook on the future of the relations between the EU and the ACP Group of States, taking also into account the restructuring of the EU's external relations under the Lisbon Treaty and the establishment of the new European External Action Service (EEAS). The second Revision of the CA was signed in June 2010.Ten years after the conclusion of the CA, its second revision sought to find a balance between the increasing trend towards

Abstract:

In 2000, the European Union (EU) undertook to enter into economic partnership agreements (EPAs) with the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) regional groups with the intention of promoting development by implementing tariff-free trade structures with ACP states. A number of these agreements, once entered into, contained provisions regarding intellectual property rights and technology transfer. However, the provisions in these agreements regarding intellectual property protection and enforcement appeared to oblige contracting states to follow the directives as espoused in pre-existing intellec

Abstract:

Rates of advance care planning (ACP) among Latinos are as low as 10% compared to an average of 26% among adults living in the United States. Typical American values of autonomy and self-determination that underlie ACP often conflict with the values of group decision-making, fatalism, and respect for hierarchy that influence decision making in the Latino community. Research suggests that community-based initiatives and culturally competent patient education improves rates of ACP in the Latino community. Findings discuss the use of culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate ACP video ed

Abstract:

Advanced care planning (ACP) includes advance directives (AD), which can specify provisions for palliative care and types of life-sustaining treatments for an individual requiring end-of-life (EoL) care. ACP for persons in the early stages of cognitive decline can decrease anxiety and conflict for family members needing to make decisions about EoL-care, which is especially critical for family caregivers (FCGs) if they play a role as a surrogate regarding healthcare decisions. However, ACP for persons with cognitive impairment (PWCIs) is often overlooked. This study explored the effects of a fa

There are many challenges in providing palliative and end-of-life care to this group of people, some of which may be reduced through advance care planning (ACP) to support people with dementia to have a greater influence on their care at end of life.

Abstract Background: Advance care planning (ACP) is a process that supports adults at any age or stage of health in understanding and sharing their personal values, life goals, and preferences regarding future medical care. Likewise, ACP is associated with multiple benefits, such as lower rates of hospitalizations and reduced futile, aggressive cancer treatment at the end of life. However, ACP rates remain low in the U.S., especially for patients with advanced cancer.

Abstract:

Abstract The European Union (EU) is the most generous donor of international development cooperation—it transfers more than a half of the world’s Official Development Assistance (ODA). In fact, the EU development policy is depending on three major contributors: France, Germany and the United Kingdom (UK), which are also among the top countries making the largest transfers to development cooperation. However, special attention should be paid to the UK, belonging to the avant-garde of international development cooperation. The United Kingdom is not only a part of the EU assistance wallet but als

Abstract Studies of advance care planning (ACP) in persons living with dementia (PLWDs) are rare. We conducted an intervention development study to adapt an efficacious ACP intervention, SPIRIT (Sharing Patient’s Illness Representations to Increase Trust), for PLWDs in early stages and their surrogates and assessed the feasibility/acceptability of the adapted SPIRIT. SPIRIT was adapted by the investigators and underwent expert panel review. The refined SPIRIT was then evaluated in a randomized trial with 23 dyads of PLWDs and their surrogates. Dyads were randomized to SPIRIT in-person (in a pr

Abstract:

Citrus (Sapindales: Rutaceae) is the largest cultivated group of fruits in the world, which includes Kinnow, sweet orange, limes, lemons, mandarins, tangerines and grapefruit. Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama is one of the most important and serious pest of citrus. Both nymphs and adults of psylla suck the cell sap from flower buds, leaves, young shoots which results in leaf distortion, curling and complete defoliation or shedding. It is important to understand pest biology and ecology before initiating control measures. Therefore, the experiment was conducted to study the

The water uptake ability of this size range greatly influences the particle mass, visibility degradation, and particle chemistry. However, most previous field measurements on aerosol hygroscopicity are limited within 350 nm. In this study, the size-resolved aerosol hygroscopic properties over an extended size range (50–600 nm) at 85 % relative humidity were investigated in Beijing winter from 27 November 2019 to 14 January 2020 using a humidity tandem differential mo
