Intracardiac Injections During Resuscitation

To the Editor.— Davison et al (1980; 244:1110) recommend intracardiac injections (ICI) in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as a safe alternative to intravenous (IV) administration of emergency drugs when other sites are not readily available. Although the subxyphoid approach is preferable to the anterior intercostal approach, we believe the article suffers from a number of serious deficiencies. There is no mention of the most important issue in this context, and that is how long CPR was interrupted during the injection. Obviously interrupting cardiac compression for more than a few seconds is highly undesirable and may adversely affect the outcome. Second, we are struck by a strange statement in the fourth paragraph under Comment from which it appears that positive pressure breathing was continued during cardiac puncture. Does that mean that ventilation was continued while artificial circulation was stopped? There is also no listing of which drugs were given by intracardiac route,

New Perspectives in Coagulation Testing

Abstract Vol. 26 p 1386, Table 5, column 3, entry two should read "71 ± 26," not "17 ± 26." p 1933, under the heading Notes, change first sentence to read "...equal to the numerical value of the molar..."

Subharmonic oscillation in third order non-linear systems

In this paper the subharmonic oscillation with frequency n times smaller than that of exciting force is considered. The first paragraph is devoted to the formulation of problem. Here an example of third order equation in which there exists pure subharmonic solution is given. In the second paragraph the condition (2.5), (2.7) for the existence of pure odd subharmonic oscillation in the dynamical system governed by equation (2.1) are derived. The mixed subharmonic oscillation is studied in the third paragraph. The family of tow parameters solutions (3.2) of equation (3.1) with subharmonic term is found by means of asymptotic method. The stationary oscillations are given by formulae (3.14)-(3.16). The stability of subharmonic is oscillation is studied by Liapunov-Routh-Hurwitz criterium in the fourth paragraph. In general, the stability conditions (4.5) lead to the results which are different from those in second order system. To illustrate the presented method a concrete example has been analysed in the fifth paragraph.

Typographical Error

In the article titled "Glucocorticoid Effects in Vitamin D Intoxication," published in the SeptemberArchives(139:974-977, 1979), a typographical error appeared in the fourth paragraph of the Comment section. The fifth sentence in that paragraph should have read, "However, in more recent studies, the 25(OH)D₁metabolite appeared to be the active agent in hypervitaminosis D while the more potent 1-25(OH)₂D₃metabolite was not increased.²³"

Erratum: Nuclear Risks: Still Uncertain

In the article "Nuclear risks: Still uncertain" (News and Comment, 18 May, p. 714), in the fourth paragraph, the sentence, "If one assumes that 40 gigawatts are produced a year, as was the case in 1975. . ., then the nuclear industry is causing two cancer deaths a year," should have read, "20 cancer deaths a year."

Erratum: American Physical Society Panel Gives a Long-Term Yes to Electricity from the Sun

The article "American Physical Society panel gives a long-term yes to electricity from the sun" (News and Comment, 16 Feb., p. 629) contains an error in the fourth paragraph. The first sentence in the paragraph should read: "Ehrenreich portrayed the future of solar cells as bright, calling attention to a decrease in their costs by a factor of 5 in the past 5 years and citing the prospects for further advances."

Erratum: Ever So Cautiously, the FDA Moves Toward a Ban on Nitrites

Due to a printer's error, the word "nitrite" was altered to "nitrate" in two instances in the article, "Ever so cautiously, the FDA moves to-ward a ban on nitrites," (8 September, p. 887). The lead sentence should read," The hazard to animals and man of eating excessive amounts of nitrates and nitrites...." The first sentence in the fourth paragraph should read," These circumstances ... the existent but unquantified hazard of adding nitrites to food." Nitrites-not nitrates-are deliberately added to foods.

November 1977, page 34, figure 3—The labels on the two blue curves, “Silicon avalanche photodiode, 0.82 microns” and “Silicon photodiode, 0.82 microns,” should be interchanged. November, page 63, third paragraph, line 9 up—line should read “gases, so that the higher transport to, and…” The editorial revision implied that krypton and xenon have a higher transport to, and deposition in, the human lung, whereas it is rather uranium, thorium and daughters in coal that have higher transport and deposition. Page 63, fourth paragraph, line 7—line should read “…comparable in order to make the…” The editorial substitution of “to coal hazards” makes the sentence erroneous. It is the radioactive hazards that are very roughly comparable, not the total hazards. It is the thrust of the author's findings that the total hazard of coal is orders of magnitude greater than that of fission. December, page 26, column 3, lines 27/28—for “considerable stress” read “considerable success.”

Erratum

AbstractA printer's error in “Do We Need a National Food Policy?” by H. S. Houthakker in the May 1976 issue of the Journal distorts the meaning of the fourth paragraph of the article. The first sentence of the fourth paragraph (p. 259) should read “It follows that the desirability of a National Widget Policy should be judged against two alternatives, one being abstention, and the other a set of contradictory measures.”

Hang Gliding

In the SPECIAL COMMUNICATION, "Injuries Associated With Hang Gliding," published inthe July 14 issue (233:158-160, 1975), an error occurred. On page 159, in the last line of the first column, the alcohol concentration found in the flyer's blood was<b>50</b>mg/100 ml, not 0.05 mg/100 ml. Also in the EDITORIAL titled "Hang Gliding," published in the same issue, the control mechanism of the hang glider was described incorrectly on page 171. The first sentence of the fourth paragraph in column 1 should read: "Control during flight is gained with a control bar that, when pushed forward,<b>raises</b>the nose of the kite or glider, causing the glider to accelerate."

Corrections

In addition to the information included about Alexander von Humboldt grants to US scientists (September, page 80), it should be noted that self-applications are not possible. Only German research scientists and German institutes are entitled to nominate American scientists for the Award which allows them to carry out research of their choice at various German institutes. The third sentence of the fourth paragraph of Herman M. Schwartz's review of The Special Theory of Relativity (December, page 51) should read “more importantly, space-time covariance methods are usually handled with undue restraint, as, for example, on pages 108–109 where the derivations are tortuous, and the gratuitous equation following (6.1.8) is strange.”

Attention, American Folklore: Doc Craft Comes Marching In

220Notes that the story is told years after the convalescence in Italy, but he too fails to develop the implications of this fact. See Sheridan Baker, Ernest Hemingway: An Introduction and Interpretation (New York, 1967), p. 33. "'All references to "Now I Lay Me" are from Ernest Hemingway, The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway (New York, 1953). AU page numbers cited in the text refer to this edition. 6It is possible that the fourth paragraph does fit the general pattern established by previous paragraphs and maintained by subsequent ones, but that it does so somewhat less obviously than other paragraphs. The fourth paragraph begins pleasantly; its ending, however, is ambiguous: "Some nights too," Nick explains, "1 made up streams, and some of them were very exciting, and it was likebeing awake and dreaming. Some of those streams I still remember and think that I have fished in them, and they are confused with streams I really know. I gave them all names and went to them on the train and sometimes walked for miles to get to them." As Hovey suggests, Nick's confusion of streams he made up with streams he really fished may indicate "something compulsive, sickly" about Nick's mental state. See Hovey, p. 74. ATTENTION, AMERICAN FOLKLORE: DOC CRAFT COMES MARCHING IN Rosemary M. Laughlin Parkland College In the spring of 1969 James Alan McPherson's first book was published— a collection of short stories entitled Hueand Cry. Severalof the stories had appeared previously in The Atlantic and one of them, "Gold Coast," had won that magazine's fiction prize for 1968. The critical reaction was a writer's dream for a first book—almost unanimously approving and enthusiastic. Understandably, the publishers chose to quote Ralph Ellison's evaluation on the jacket of the paperback edition which followed in 1970: With this collection of stories, McPherson promises to move right past those talented but misguided writers of Negro American cultural background who take being black as a privilege forbeing obscenely second-rate and who regard their social predicament as Negroes as exempting them from the necessity of mastering the craft and forms of fiction. . . . McPherson ... isa writer of insight, sympathy, and humor, and one of the most gifted young Americans I've had the privilege to read.1 Several of the reviewers noted that their favorite in the collection was "A Solo Song: For Doc," brilliant, as one observed, for its "fusion of reportage, thematic drama and manly lyricism that seems to be Studies in American Fiction221 unforgettable."2 This evaluation is certainly merited, but the story is most remarkable in that it brings to light an American folkloric hero whose time for recognition has come at last. Doc Craft qualifies as hero both in the general tradition of folklore and in specifically American fashion. Present in his story are the elements of legend and reality, of characters that are both comic and tragic, of situations and scenes that are typically and often uniquely American, and of narrative that records an oral telling that justifies, with its rhythmic patterns of words and phrases the "song" in the title. The fable itself does not focus on a hero of the epic or warrior type nor on one who achieves notoriety by a single deed. He belongs rather with the occupational heroes, the work giants of American folklore: John Henry the Steel-Driving Man, Casey Jones the Brave Engineer, Paul Bunyan the Giant Lumberjack, and Joe Magarac the Steel Maker, to mention a few of the better known. Indeed, like John Henry and Casey Jones, Doc Craft works for the railroad. He is a black dining car waiter and his great drive is to distinguish himself by doing a superlative job of what he must do: "the service." And this he does, with the flair, expertise, and genius that make him an idol and hero to his fellow workers even in his own time. As the narrator, one of those fellow waiters, recounts Doc's story to a young waiter (several years after Doc's death at the age of 73 in 1965), he makes us aware that this time is also the death hour of railway passenger...

Vocational expectations of students in a hospital career-opportunity program.

misplaced line of type garbled two sentences in the paper by Herman Waldman, Ed.D., in the March 1972 issue, and obscured the important fact that only three of time first 31 participants in a hospital career-opportunity program were working at the hospital three years later. Time paper was entitled Vocational Expectations of Students in a Hospital Career-Opportunity Program. The second and third sentences in the fourth paragraph on page 96 should have read: A survey in January 1971, almost three years later, showed that only three were working at the hospital. The 31 students, nine boys and 22 girls between the ages of 16 and 18, came from time same suburban county in which the hospital is located.

Quelques problèmes de la théorie de la gestion de l'économie centralement planifiée

Some Problems of the Theory of Management of a Centrally Planned Economy. This article contains the main ideas of a recent book published by the author (Wstep do teorii gospodarowania — Introduction to the Theory of Management — Warsaw, 1970), which develops methods of managing a centrally planned economy. In the first two paragraphs the author formulates two basic principles of management which are characteristic for a socialist economy: the principle of concentration of resources and that of substitution of factors of production. The author maintains that deficiencies in the planning system are due to the fact that these principles, particularly the principle of substitution of factors of production, are not followed. The third paragraph describes and defines what is meant by «optimization criteria in a planned economy». By this it is meant the situation where the essential economic activity is performed in the name and at the risk of the State, representing the interests of the society. While rejecting the maximization of profit and the growth of national income as the sole optimization critérium, the author feels that one should adopt two or more criteria in order to calculate optimal growth. He than presents a method which makes possible the transformation of the function quotient representing two goals, in a linear function. In the fourth paragraph, the economic calculation is studied for different management levels. The author analyses two contradictory tendencies which appear in the socialist economy: that the optimum in the economic calculation should be a general one — at the level of the whole economy — while, on the other hand, technological, economic and social factors act in favor of decentralization — that is, of the introduction of economic calculation on management levels. The author proposes to use dual prices. This would allow the coordination of the optimal calculation done on management levels with that done on the national level. In the last part of the article, the author suggests what he considers to be the correct basic principle of the planning system and gives the method of optimal allocation of investment resources.

IMPACT ON EMPLOYEES DURING PANDEMIC BASE ON LABOR SYSTEM PERSPECTIVE

The fourth paragraph at the opening of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that the Government of the Republic of Indonesia is obliged to protect the entire Indonesian nation, promote the general welfare, and educate the nation's life which is a manifestation of the responsibility of the state which is obliged to create welfare for its people fairly and equitably equally. This constitutional mandate is spelled out in the form of regulations aimed at preventing injustice from the stronger party against the weaker party so that a just and peaceful society can be created. The method used to analyze this problem is through normative and empirical mix and match. The approach used in this study is a statute approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. Legal protection for workers is an obligation for the fulfillment of basic rights inherent and protected by the constitution as regulated in Article 27 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The logical consequence of this mandate is the birth of the State's obligation to accommodate facilities and the widest possible opportunity for the community so that they can get a job as well as make it something worthy of humanity. Thus, the violation of basic rights guaranteed by the constitution is a violation of human rights. Protection of workers is regulated in Articles 67 to 101 of the Manpower Law, including those concerning wages and welfare. However, when faced with the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the company immediately provided a force majeure reason to avoid paying severance pay for workers/laborers affected by layoffs. The problem that occurs, in this case, is the termination of employment carried out by companies using force majeure reasons by companies in Indonesia unilaterally.&#x0D; Keywords: Impact, Employees, Pandemic

Correction

The editors apologize for two typographical errors in Don B. Lichtenberg's October review of Paradoxes in the Theory of Relativity by Yakov P. Terletskii. The word “comparable” was substituted in the last sentence, which should have read, “…the theory of relativity is compatible with dialectic materialism.” The first equation in the fourth paragraph should have read γ = 1/(1−u2/c2)1/2.

What an Inertial Navigator Consists of

Mr. J.G. Carr and Sq.-Leader D. Scott, R.A.F., have devoted sections two, three and four of a total of 21, and a few other remarks here and there in their excellent paper, ‘The testing of airborne inertial navigation systems’ (Journal, 20, 405), to the above title as an exposition ‘first necessary’ to their main purpose, limiting themselves to ‘the types of system of which we have practical experience’. They do not otherwise identify these types explicitly, but do include them among the ‘many ways of mechanizing this concept', viz., ‘The feature which is common to all inertial navigators is the measurement of acceleration of the vehicle by measuring [and in effect they add also “or metering”] the force required to constrain a proof-mass carried in the vehicle to move with it,’ and from this deducing velocity and position of the vehicle. This statement seems well put to me and quite sound, but in the fourth paragraph of Section 4, which includes ‘Fig. 1. A Schuler tuned inertial navigator’, they imply that at least their types, if not all inertial navigators, are based also on ‘Schuler tuning [so named] after the discoverer of the principle', and here I do not follow them. (I note in passing that the by-line of Schuler's 1923 paper, Physik. Zeitschr. XXIV, 344–50, spells his name without the umlaut used consistently by them.)
