Abstract:
In a world where health care specialists are increasingly aware of the need for globalised health care, and with specialists from the UK participating in charitable work in some of the most challenging environments abroad, understanding how to provide effective care in the developing world is key. In July 2014, Sonia Szamocki, a junior doctor with an interest in ophthalmology, was given the opportunity to join the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital (FEH) to the Phillippines. The FEH is a mobile teaching hospital that plays host to a fully equipped operating theatre, complete with preoperative and recovery rooms and a clinic room with slit lamps, surgical stimulators and laser equipment. In this article, Sonia reviews her experience and provides a snapshot of the challenges in the developing world in preventing avoidable sight loss.Keywords:

Sight is a basic requirement in many learning environments. Children, who wear glasses, may have an advantage. Some individuals may be deprived or deprive themselves of corrective lenses to avoid appearing to possess education. Relationships between sight and education have been discussed by the U.S. Supreme Court. In an era when education is associated with violence, and also with problem resolution, implications for sight are sweeping.

Within this paper, a review of the development of the sights is given. Sight is essentially used as a part of a certain weapon that serves to aim the barrel towards the target. The paper also describes the process of aiming and it gives an overview of various types of sights that are used on firearms. Their advantages, disadvantages and their tactical use were mentioned. Certain types of sights are compared based on their characteristics and use during aiming. The essential parts and their role is described and illustrations are provided for an easier understanding of the appearance and functionality of the sights themselves. At the end of the paper, the development perspectives and the space for the advancement of aiming devices were presented.

With the dramatic improvement of spiritual and material civilizations in our country , urban public space sights are more than a symbol of a city, but a place where citizens relax , communicate , stroll , chat and cultivate their moral characters. These sights also reflect values, aesthetic standards and tastes of modern people. However,there exist many problems in the plan and design of urban public sights.And there are a lot of undesirable designs. This paper aims at summarizing the principles of plans and designs, so that people could avoid mistaken ideas in planning and designing urban public space sights, thus making these sights more human and more harmonious with the nature and creating pleasant urban public space sights.

Light weapon sights are widely equipped in the armed forces of different nations because they could improve the attack accuracy and lethality for the weapons.This paper briefly reviews the operation principles and features of mechanical sight,optical sight,electro-optical sight and integrated sight.The status of mechanical sight,traditional optical sight,low-light-level night vision sight,new electro-optical sight and integrated sight equipped in different nations worldwide is given.The development status and parameters of various typical electro-optical sights as well as simple day and night fire-control systems are described.It is pointed out that mechanical sight and optical sight are still necessary for future light weapons.However,electro-optical sight shall prevail in equipment procurement,and light weapon sight equipped in the future shall be the integrated electro-optical sight.

This article focuses on sight distance of at-grade intersections, and particularly on intersections controlled by stop signs. Research is reported which attempted to identify the assumptions used to develop the intersection sight-distance guidelines in the Green Book, evaluate the appropriateness of these assumptions in light of more recent research findings, develop intersection sight-distance values based on the modified assumptions and compare these intersection sight distances with the intersection sight-distance guidelines presented in the Green Book. Sight-distance values are presented that are based on data from recent studies. It is noted that the AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) Green Book sight distances are adequate for speeds between 30 and 35 mph, but are unnecessarily conservative at higher speeds. The use of the suggested sight distances will give more reasonable intersection sight distances under the updated assumptions. On low-speed facilities, slightly longer sight distances will need to be incorporated in the design of streets. On high speed facilities, less sight distance will be needed than AASHTO requires.
