Tracking Waste Management Information Disclosure Behavior Connected to Financial Performance through Moderating Variables.

The current challenges of a circular economy exert a high pressure on manufacturing companies that generate waste to track and implement policies to reduce them and eliminate the toxicity of residues. Hence, the purpose of this study is to analyze the waste management information disclosure linked to the financial performance of companies and test the moderating effect of internal and external variables. The average waste management information disclosure index shows a poor disclosure score for the analyzed period, however, the waste disclosure index after reaching a minimum threshold in 2019 recorded an encouraging increase at the end of 2021. Applying the fixed effects model, ordinary least squares, and two-stage least squares method, the results revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between management information disclosure and the return on assets, while for the current ratio the connection has been invalidated. A statistically significant influence of the environmental-sensitive industry status, board size, and productivity on the moderating variables was found for the return on assets, while for current ratio, there was none. As for the alternative metrics of financial performance, the results showed that a higher degree of management information disclosure will increase the return on equity and earnings per share, while in the case of liquidity, the results are not conclusive.

[Lagophthalmy of VII nerve palsy--therapeutical approaches]. / Posibilitati curative în lagoftalmia prin paralizia de nerv facial.

Facial nerve palsy is impairing orbicular muscle function leading to lagophthalmos. This disease impairs patients' quality of life by exposure keratopathy which is accompanied by ocular pain and deteriorate visual acuity at a variable degree. The paper's aim is to show up the place of lagophthalmos in anterior ocular segment pathology and to evidence the results obtained by us with a new therapeutical method applied in several cases. All cases with lagophthalmos have ocular complications like exposure kerato-conjunctivitis. The treatment was both conservative and surgical which consisted in majority of cases in blepharoraphy with its inconveniencies, aesthetical and functional. We have applied a new surgical method--gold weight superior lid implantation--in 4 cases and the results are promising.

[Treatment difficulties in ocular toxoplasmosis]. / Dificultati de tratament în toxoplasmoza oculara.

PURPOSE: To determine the increased incidence of ocular infection with Toxoplasma gondii, the variety of ocular manifestations and therapeutical problems of this potential blind disease. We analyzed 22 patients hospitalized in our clinic in last 2 years at whom clinical diagnosis was confirmed by positive serological tests. Is discussed the correlation between serum level antibody(IgG and IgM) and ocular manifestations and the opportunity of beginning specific treatment depend on these two parameters. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of ocular toxoplasmosis is increasingly, the ophthalmologist must be open on atypical manifestations of this disease. The treatment remains controversial, we believe that it must be specific and correlated with ocular lesions evolutions and serum antibody level in time.

[Anterior uveitis in seronegative spondylarthropathies]. / Uveita anterioara în spondilartropatiile seronegative.

PURPOSE: To study the implication of seronegatives spondylarthropaties in anterior uveitis ethiology. We analyzed 51 patients with rheumatologic disease related uveitis hospitalized in our clinic in last 4 years. We discussed sex and age group repartition of patients, type of rheumatologic disease, recurrencies, complications and patients evolutions under treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Seronegatives spondylarthtropaties related uveitis represent 26% from 208 patients with uveitis household in our clinic in period mentioned above. They have a slow evolution with multiples recurrences and complications, requiring long period of treatment and follow-up. Visual prognosis is reserved because of multiples recurrences which accentuate morfofunctional deficit every time.

[Refractive changes in concomitant exodeviations]. / Vicii de refractie în exodeviatiile concomitente.

UNLABELLED: The paper represents the analysis of 27 patients with a form of exodeviation examined în the Department of Ophthalmology Sibiu (jan. 1999-jan. 2003). METHOD: The evaluated parameters were: debut age, sensorial status, refraction, type of exodeviation related with refractive errors and treatment. RESULTS: The predominant refractive error was hyperopia (low degree)-40.74%, exophoria was the most frequent type of exodeviation (44.44%). Amblyopia was present în 11.2% of cases, 25.9% of patients had no stereopsis. CONCLUSIONS: In the studied group 81.48% of cases had refractive errors. Exophoria and intermittent exotropia were related with emetropia or minor refractive errors. Mixed astigmatism with amblyopia and anizometropia presented constant exodeviation.
