Parts of Northern Albania are still hard to get to, but adventure tourism has been making significant inroads, year by year, up until 2019. Two entrepreneurial villages, in particular, have led the way. Over 20 guest-houses have already opened, providing accommodation and food to travellers.

To obtain p-type material TTT is doped with iodine during vacuum deposition of thin films or by post-deposition doping using controlled exposure to iodine vapors. Thermal co-deposition in vacuum of TTT and TCNQ is used to prepare n-type thin films. The attained thin films are characterized by measurements of Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity. Seebeck coefficient and conductivity could be varied by altering the doping level. P-type TTT:iodide thin films with a power factor of 0.52 μWm-1K-2, electrical conductivity of 130 S m-1 and Seebeck coefficient of 63 μV K-1 and n-type TCNQ:TTT films with power factor of 0.33 μWm-1K-2, electrical conductivity of 57 S m-1 and Seebeck coefficient of -75 μV K-1 are produced. Engineered deposition of both p- and n-type thermoelectric conducting elements on the same substrate is demonstrated. A proof of concept prototype of planar thin film TE generator based on a single p-n couple from the organic materials is built and its power generation characterized. ; Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia as the Center of Excellence has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under grant agreement No. 739508, project CAMART²
AbstractPolypharmacy in older adults is a growing problem, as some drugs may be either unnecessary or even harmful. Admission to hospital under a Medicine for the Elderly specialist physicians represents an opportunity to review patients' medication. The recent introduction of electronic prescribing to some hospitals in the United Kingdom allows the development of tools to measure polypharmacy in in-patients, and subsequently to assess the efficacy of interventions that aim to optimize medication prescribing. We tested the feasibility of developing an Excel-based software code that measured the number of medications a group of patients were taking at admission and how many of these were still prescribed on discharge. Electronic prescribing data was obtained from the Royal Derby Hospital, over a period of 52 weeks from April 2017 to March 2018 for all patients over the age of 65 years who were admitted onto the medicine for the elderly wards and subsequently discharged. On admission, the median number of eligible medications was 11 (interquartile range IQR 8 to 15). At the time of discharge, the median number of eligible medications retained since admission was 9 (IQR 6 to 12). This represents a median number of medications that have been removed from the current medication regimen of 2 (IQR 1 to 3, p < 0.001). Electronic prescribing software in hospitals allows the development of tools to measure the burden of medications, and to examine the efficacy of future interventions that are developed to optimize drug prescribing in older adults.
