The Repugnant Conclusion is an implication of some approaches to population ethics. It states, in Derek Parfit's original formulation,
For any possible population of at least ten billion people, all with a very high quality of life, there must be some much larger imaginable population whose existence, if other things are equal, would be better, even though its members have lives that are barely worth living. (Parfit 1984: 388)

Objectives:
To investigate and describe an outbreak of Serratia marcescens in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to report the interventions leading to cessation of the outbreak.
Setting:A 2,168-bed, tertiary-care, university teaching hospital in Vienna, Austria, with an 8-bed NICU.
Design:We conducted a case–control study to identify risk factors for colonization and infection with S. marcescens. A case-patient was defined as any neonate in the NICU with a positive culture for S. marcescens between October 1, 2000, and February 28, 2001. Polymerase chain reaction was applied to type isolates.
Methods:During unannounced observations, the NICU was examined and existing policies were reviewed. Staff were reinstructed in hand antisepsis and gloving policies. Admissions were halted on December 27. During previously planned technical maintenance of the ward, the NICU was closed for 10 days and thorough aldehyde-based disinfection of the NICU was performed.
Results:Ten neonates met the case definition: 6 with infections (among them 3 with cerebral abscesses) and 4 with asymptomatic colonization. Previous antibiotic treatment of the mothers with cefuroxime was the single significant risk factor for colonization or infection (P = .028; odds ratio, 17; 95% confidence interval, 1.3 to 489.5).
Conclusions:S. marcescens can cause rapidly spreading outbreaks associated with fatal infections in NICUs. With aggressive infection control measures, such outbreaks can be stopped at an early stage. Affected neonates themselves may well be the source of cross-infection to other patients on the ward. Antibiotic treatment of mothers should be reevaluated to avoid unnecessary exposure to antibiotics with the potential of overgrowth of resistant organisms.

In this paper the differences of properties of stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric IVBand VB-Group carbides will be discussed. On the base of newer investigations of their physical and chemical properties it seems to be possible to improve material properties by using them instead of stoichiometric ones in some applications.

The purpose of this note is to prove the Herzog-Schônheim [3] conjecture for finite nilpotent groups. This conjecture states that any nontrivial partition of a group into cosets must contain two cosets of the same index (Corollary IV below). See Porubský [4, Section 8] for a perspective on coset partitions.
