what is a unity meta file? | the unity editor creates meta files to track the identity and settings of every asset in your project.
meta files are named after the asset they are associated with. for instance, a texture asset with the filename `explosion.png` would have a meta file named `explosion.png.meta`

each asset is assigned a guid which is stored in that asset’s .meta file. a unity guid looks something like this `de9a32f15f2628044842629a83d3d974`
unity uses guids to track references between assets. if an asset’s guid changes, all references to that guid will become broken.

when the editor detects a new file in the assets folder that doesn’t have a companion meta file, it attempts to that file into your project as a new asset. this creates a meta file to hold the globally unique identifier (guid) and settings for the newly added asset.
for instance, if you copy an image file `explosion.png` to the assets folder, the editor will import it as a texture, creating a meta file `explosion.png.meta` alongside it.
a common cause of mystery meta files is when developer forgets to include a meta file when adding a new asset to version control. this often means that any references to the new asset will be silently broken.

how long will my nc personal injury case take? | how long it takes to resolve your case depends on several factors. one factor is whether you have finished treatment for the injuries you suffered because of the incident. if you are done with your medical treatment, the case will go faster, but a lawyer does not want to settle your case before you are done treating, because it will bar any coverage for medical costs you are still incurring. another factor that can influence timeline of your case is the complexity of your injuries and treatment. cases that involve injuries that do not require surgery or extensive treatment often take less time to resolve than those with more complex injuries and treatment plans.
the average soft tissue injury case in nc takes 12-24 months to resolve. it may go faster than this, but it depends on how reasonable the insurance company is, how long you treat, whether medicare/medicaid liens have to be paid back, and whether your attorney has to file a lawsuit to resolve your claim. for more detail read: overview of a nc personal injury case.

come effettuare la posizione antishock? | l'uso di un letto articolato permette di sollevare le gambe e abbassare il torso;
sollevare le gambe di 30-45°, (mai più di 30 cm dal piano della testa) di un paziente atterrato in sicurezza, e mantenendo il capo basso:
+ le gambe possono essere sollevate da un soccorritore;
+ o possono essere sostenute da sedie e cuscini (verificare che siano in sicurezza e ben salde sul supporto per evitare che cadendo da quell'altezza comportino un ulteriore danno).
ricordiamo che esistono anche diversi rischi nel mantenere per troppo tempo la posizione antishock, in quanto la gravità agisce anche sugli altri tessuti come quello polmonare e cerebrale comportando, in alcuni pazienti, difficoltà a respirare, ansia e cefalea. | dimensioneinfermiere.it | 9 | c468f8d5faeaf7c25ab9ceb40e848874 | 4. posizionarsi a lato dell'infortunato:

11. piegare il ginocchio al lato opposto al proprio ed estendere il braccio dell'infortunato che si trova accanto a sé;
18. il braccio del lato opposto va posizionato tra la guancia e la spalla in modo da immobilizzare la posizione;
25. mantenendo allineata l'asse della colonna vertebrale, ruotare l'infortunato verso di sé applicando una forza parallela da spalla e bacino
32. al posizionamento verificare che la mano appoggi la guancia al pavimento e che la gamba sia ben posizionata sul pavimento senza pressioni eccessive su un unico punto;
