CONT

Simpson’s Obstetrical Forceps ... Developed in 1848 by Dr. James Simpson of Edinburgh, these forceps were a combination of features from earlier models. He retained the finger rests and deep finger depressions in the handle and connected the forceps with a notched joint.

CONT

James Young Simpson (1842) adapted the design of forceps to include a prominent pelvic curve with parallel shanks and an articulating lock. The space created with the divergence of the shanks allows for finger positioning and control of the molded head of the fetus. They have an elongated and flattened cephalic curve, which provides minimal trauma in traction, and are best suited to deliveries witout need of major rotation.

OBS

The credit for the invention of the precursor of the modern forceps to be used on live infants goes to Peter Chamberlen of England (circa 1600). Modifications have led to more than 700 different types and shapes of forceps. In 1745, William Smellie described the accurate application to the occiput, rather than the previously performed pelvic application, regardless of the position of the head. In 1845, Sir James Simpson developed a forceps that was designed to appropriately fit both cephalic curvatures and pelvic curvatures. In 1920, Joseph DeLee further modified that instrument and advocated the prophylactic forceps delivery. In an era in which many women labored and delivered under heavy sedation, forceps deliveries became common. ... When forceps deliveries are performed, Simpson forceps... is the instrument most commonly used for outlet- and low-forceps deliveries.

OBS

Elliot forceps are used for the unmolded head while Simpsons forceps are used for the molded head. Specialized forceps include rotational forceps such as Kielland, Barton, and Piper forceps (for the after-coming head of a breech).

OBS

In medical eponyms, the possessive form, such as "Simpson's forceps", often disappears over the years. For that reason, the written forms "Simpson's forceps" and "Simpson's obstetrical forceps" are also found.

DEF

An obstetrical forceps having a sliding lock and little pelvic curve.

OBS

Kielland’s forceps [were] originally designed to deliver the fetal head at or above the pelvic brim, lying in the transverse axis of the pelvis and rotating it when it had reached the pelvic cavity. The forceps is used today for rotation and extraction of the head which is arrested in the deep transverse or occipito-posterior position. The blades have very little pelvic curve and are virtually an axis traction forceps. A large episiotomy is needed. The shallowness of the curve allows safe rotation in the vagina. Downward traction encourages rotation of the head. The claw lock allows the blades to slide on each other and correct or encourage synclitism of the fetal head as required. The range of movement allowed by the lock makes it possible to apply lethal compression to the fetal head if the instrument is used improperly

CONT

If the fetus’s head needs to be rotated, there is now a tendency to use manual rotation, rotation with a vacuum extractor, or caesarean section in preference to Kielland’s rotational forceps. This change in practice arose in the 1980s after high rates of neonatal morbidity and mortality were associated with Kielland’s forceps ... Kielland’s forceps are only used for select cases and by experienced obstetricians.

OBS

In medical eponyms, the possessive form, such as "Kielland's forceps"(Christian Kielland or Kjelland, Norwegian obstetrician) often disappears over the years. For that reason, the written forms "Kjelland forceps" and "Kielland forceps"are also found.

OBS

The Convention on Wetlands is an intergovernmental treaty adopted on 2 February 1971 in the Iranian city of Ramsar, on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. Thus, though nowadays the name of the Convention is usually written "Convention on Wetlands(Ramsar, Iran, 1971) ", it has come to be known popularly as the "Ramsar Convention"... The official name of the treaty-The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat-reflects its original emphasis on the conservation and wise use of wetlands primarily to provide habitat for waterbirds. Over the years, however, the Convention has broadened its scope to cover all aspects of wetland conservation and wise use, recognizing wetlands as ecosystems that are extremely important for biodiversity conservation in general and for the well-being of human communities. For this reason, the increasingly common use of the short form of the treaty's title, the "Convention on Wetlands", is entirely appropriate. The Convention entered into force in 1975... UNESCO serves as Depositary for the Convention, but its administration has been entrusted to a secretariat known as the "Ramsar Bureau", which is housed in the headquarters of IUCN-The World Conservation Union in Gland, Switzerland, under the authority of the Conference of the Parties and the Standing Committee of the Convention

La Convention sur les zones humides est un traité intergouvernemental adopté le 2 février 1971 dans la ville iranienne de Ramsar, sur les bords de la mer Caspienne. C'est la raison pour laquelle, même si l'on écrit communément «Convention sur les zones humides (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)», la Convention est plus connue du public sous le nom de «Convention de Ramsar». [...]. Le nom officiel du traité - Convention relative aux zones humides d'importance internationale, particulièrement comme habitats des oiseaux d'eau - reflète l'accent qui avait été mis à l'origine sur la conservation et l'utilisation rationnelle des zones humides essentiellement en vue de fournir un habitat aux oiseaux d'eau. Avec le temps, toutefois, la Convention a élargi son horizon afin de couvrir tous les aspects de la conservation et de l'utilisation rationnelle des zones humides, reconnaissant celles-ci comme des écosystèmes extrêmement importants pour la conservation de la diversité biologique et pour le bien-être des communautés humaines. Voilà pourquoi l'usage de plus en plus répandu du nom abrégé du traité, «Convention sur les zones humides», est tout à fait justifié. La Convention est entrée en vigueur en 1975 [...]. L'UNESCO est le Dépositaire de la Convention, mais l'administration de celle-ci est entièrement assumée par un secrétariat appelé «Bureau Ramsar» qui se trouve dans les locaux du Siège de l'UICN-Union mondiale pour la nature à Gland, Suisse, et travaille sous l'autorité de la Conférence des Parties contractantes et du Comité permanent de la Convention.

La Convención sobre los Humedales es un tratado intergubernamental aprobado el 2 de febrero de 1971 en la ciudad iraní de Ramsar, situada en la costa meridional del Mar Caspio. Por tanto, si bien el nombre de la Convención suele escribirse "Convención sobre los Humedales", ha pasado a conocerse comúnmente como la "Convención de Ramsar".[...] El nombre oficial del tratado - Convención relativa a los Humedales de Importancia Internacional, especialmente como Hábitat de Aves Acuáticas - expresa su énfasis inicial en la conservación y el uso racional de los humedales sobre todo para proporcionar hábitat para aves acuáticas. Sin embargo, con los años, la Convención ha ampliado su alcance a fin de abarcar todos los aspectos de la conservación y el uso racional de los humedales, reconociendo que los humedales son ecosistemas extremadamente importantes para la conservación de la diversidad biológica en general y el bienestar de las comunidades humanas. Por este motivo, el uso cada vez más difundido de la versión abreviada del título del tratado, "Convención sobre los Humedales", es enteramente apropiado. La Convención entró en vigor en 1975 [...] La UNESCO sirve de depositaria de la Convención, pero su administración ha sido confiada a una secretaría conocida como la "Oficina de Ramsar", alojada en la sede de la UICN - Unión Mundial para la Naturaleza, en Gland, Suiza, bajo la autoridad de la Conferencia de las Partes y del Comité Permanente de la Convención.

Because premiums are paid in advance, this income is earned over the term that the policy is in force; so that at any point in time during the term of the policy a portion of the premium "written" for that policy is "unearned".

Comme les primes sont payées d'avance, il s'ensuit que ce revenu de primes devient acquis graduellement durant tout le temps que la police est en vigueur. Ainsi, en tout temps durant la durée de cette police, une portion de la prime souscrite est non acquise. C'est la raison pour laquelle une compagnie doit établir une réserve pour la portion des primes en vigueur qui n'est pas encore acquise. Cette réserve s'appelle "réserve pour primes non acquises".

It should be emphasized that some countries (e.g., FR, Germany) define emission factors as the net release of atmospheric emissions whereas others (e.g., U.S.) UTI utilize the concept of uncontrolled emission factors. In the latter case, controlled emissions are calculated by separately including the effect of the expected control efficiency.

OBS

Emission inventorying techniques normally use uncontrolled emission factors whereby the existing control efficiencies are separately applied for each individual source. In projecting, however, the major influence on emissions is the degree of expected and enforceable performance standards. These are generally written as maximum emissions allowed per unit of activity or process throughput. For this reason it is easier and more logical to compile a future, "controlled" emission factor to multiply against an industrial category's future activity level.
