An exploratory study of community pharmacist diagnosis and management of dermatitis and acne - Selfcare Journal

BACKGROUND: Dermatitis and acne account for a large number of general practitioner appointments yet are amenable to treatment with products available to purchase from community pharmacies. OBJECTIVES: 1. The clinical appropriateness of community pharmacy interventions for these conditions 2. Patient reported measures of the effectiveness of the pharmacist's management of their condition. METHODS: Nine community pharmacies opportunistically recruited patients presenting with suspected cases of both conditions, taking digital images and audio-recording the consultation. These files were uploaded to a secure site and independently reviewed by three dermatology specialists. Following their consultation, patients received a questionnaire to assess their views on the effectiveness of the treatment provided and their level of satisfaction with pharmacy management. RESULTS: Forty patients (36 dermatitis and 4 acne) were recruited. Of 113 assessments (7 not rated due to missing data) reviewed, specialists agreed with pharmacist's diagnosis in 33.6% of cases, disagreed in 38.9% but were unable to determine the diagnosis in 27% of cases. Treatment was deemed appropriate in 42% of cases, inappropriate in 27% and indeterminate in 31% of cases. Twenty-three patients (58%) returned a questionnaire and 12 of these (54.5%, 1 missing) stated that their condition had cleared completely following pharmacist advised treatment. Almost all (91.3%) were very satisfied or satisfied with the advice and/or treatment provided. CONCLUSION: Specialists judged the clinical appropriateness of pharmacist diagnosis and management as suboptimal yet patients were more positive. This study indicates a possible need for greater assessment-related training in dermatology for study pharmacists and further work to determine the generalisability of findings.
Temporal development of collar necroses and butt rot in association with ash dieback

Abstract: In recent years collar necroses and butt rot associated with the ash dieback disease occurred with alarming frequency in Fraxinus excelsior. We analysed tree ring structures to identify the year of necrosis initiation on a set of 507 necroses on 155 stem discs from nine severely diseased south-western German stands. The number of first-time infections of trees was highest from 2010 to 2012 and slightly decreased in 2013 and 2014, whereas the total number of newly emerging individual necroses remained high. Logistic modelling of disease progression suggests that collar rot infection has almost reached its maximum incidence and that a fraction of trees will remain healthy at the root collar. On average, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus was isolated more frequently from younger collar necroses, whereas older necroses were more often colonized by Armillaria spp. Advanced stages of rot that may pose a risk to forest workers, visitors and traffic were observed already in two years-old necroses infected by Armillaria spp.
THE EFFECT OF STUDY ABROAD ON THE PRAGMATIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNAL MODIFICATION OF REFUSALS

Few studies have investigated the internal modification of refusals. This study investigates the effect of participating in a study abroad programme on the pragmatic development of Chinese students’ employment of internal modifiers in their L2 English refusals. 20 Chinese students studying abroad and 20 Chinese students remaining at home participated in the study, and their L2 refusals were examined over the course of one academic year. Data were collected three times by an 8-situation Multimedia Elicitation Task. The results reveal that the two groups showed similar development with regard to the range of internal modification types in their refusals. Furthermore, with respect to the frequency of internal modifications, the results suggest that the differences between the two groups were not significant. However, analyses of the participants’ use of individual internal modifications revealed different developmental patterns in the utilisation of ‘address term’ and ‘downtoner’. These patterns indicate a unique effect of studying abroad on learners’ pragmatic development, at least with respect to the aforementioned pragmatic aspects.

Ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids of spelt and flaxseed pasta and consumer acceptability

Filipović J., Ivkov M. , Košutić M. , Filipović V. (2016): Ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids of spelt and flaxseed pasta and consumer acceptability. Czech J. Food Sci., 34: 5220528. The chemical composition and content of fatty acids in flaxseed and spelt flour were evaluated. The ratio of ω-6/ω-3 essential fatty acids is also analysed in spelt pasta and pasta with 0, 10, and 20% of flaxseed flour. Flaxseed flour has a better fatty acid profile than spelt flour, with low levels of saturated fat (approximately 8.99 g/100 g of flour) and a high concentration of linolenic acid (57.20 g/100 g of flour) and lower content of linoleic acid (15.98 g/100 g of flour), as well as superior ω-6/ω-3 ratio of 1 : 4. Flaxseed flour in pasta positively contributes to the daily intake of essential fatty acids recommended by nutritionists and the improvement of ω-6/ω-3 ratio. Although a new product is worse in texture quality, it will be acceptable to consumers who want to change their habits related to diet and enrich it with functional components.
The Techniques of Reducing Adhesion and Scouring Soil by Bionic – Review of Literature

Soil adhesion is a complicated multiple phase system influenced by many factors such as soil type, soil moisture content, contact material characteristics, working speed and external forces and environment. Adhesion of soil on the surfaces of soil-engaging components of various machines and equipment affects the quality of the work and in extreme cases; it does not allow the machine to move in moist sticky soil conditions. Moreover, adhesion of soil on the surfaces of ground engaging components of various machines and equipment increases the draft and energy consumption of these machines. Different techniques are employed to reduce adhesion of soil to the surfaces of these machines and equipment. This paper reviews some of the common techniques employed in reducing adhesion and scouring soil from the surface of agricultural machinery and equipment. It reviews the advantages and disadvantages of using these techniques and their limitations in practical field conditions. An ideal technique should be safe and simple, economical to manufacture, easy to use, synchronise with other components of the machine and tools, no requirement for extra controls and power, less energy consuming and efficient with scouring abilities 90% or higher. Some techniques such as air injection is useful but it adds on weight to the existing set up and in many cases makes the system more complicated to operate. Enamel coating is cheap and comparatively simple technique for reducing adhesion. It has poor wear resistance and cannot be used in abrasive soil conditions. The soil adhesion preventing mechanism of soil animal’s cuticles addresses some of these issues. The surface characteristics of soil animal’s cuticles have excellent scouring abilities and may be applied on the surfaces of soil engaging components of tillage tools. Ultra High Molecular Weight-Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) has better scouring characteristics and wear resistance. This could be applied for bionic modification of the surfaces of these tools for reducing adhesion and improving performance of a number of machines and equipment in sticky soil conditions. Key Words: adhesion; bionic; soil; osmotic; vibration; lubrication
Use of Neurodevelopmental Principles in the Rehabilitation of Hemorrhagic Stroke with Left Neglect: A Case Report

Background: Hemorrhagic strokes affect 16-33 per 100,000 individuals per year, with 25% of individuals with right-sided strokes developing symptoms of left neglect. Despite the high prevalence and potential for low functional outcomes in these populations, research to figure out the most effective physical therapy interventions for this group is severely lacking. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the potential for use of the neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) in individuals with stroke and hemispatial neglect, and to encourage further research on the topic. Case Description: The patient was a 49-year old female who suffered from an acute right temporal and basal ganglia parenchymal hemorrhage that caused left-sided hemiplegia, left hemispatial neglect, and cognitive deficits. She presented with gait abnormalities, inattentiveness to left-sided movements, and difficulty with functional movements. Interventions: The primary intervention was the use of NDT techniques, progressing through movements that follow the neurodevelopmental sequence and use somatosensation and proprioception to improve functional movement. In this case, the patient performed exercises in sitting, quadruped, half-kneeling, and tall-kneeling while progressing difficulty to challenge balance and increase activation of left-sided muscles. Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measures used in this case were the Berg Balance Scale and the Functional Independence Measure. Through evaluation with these measures, the patient demonstrated minimal clinically important differences in both outcomes. Discussion: The patient’s dramatic improvements in all functional movements suggests that use of NDT techniques may be beneficial in treatment of individuals post-stroke who demonstrate symptoms of hemispatial neglect. However, additional research is needed to evaluate how effective these methods are in comparison to conventional treatment in a larger population.
Breastfeeding Practices by Women Attending the Vaccination and Pediatric Out-Patient Clinics at The Yaounde Gynaeco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital, Cameroon.

PURPOSE / AIM Despite the well-known benefits of exclusive breastfeeding in sustaining infant well-being, breastfeeding rates still remain low in many countries. We aimed at investigating the practice and determinants of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life in Cameroonian women. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we interviewed a consecutive sample of 310 mothers at the Yaounde Gynaeco-Obstretic and Pediatric. The study was conducted from 1st September 2011 to 29th February 2012. Variables related to the practice of breastfeeding within the first 6months of life were assessed. Odds ratio was used to determine the predictive variables of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. RESULTS The reported rates of exclusive breastfeeding were 84.8% at birth and 23.5% at six months. Medical advice (49.3%) and concern for the child’s health (42.5%) were the two main reasons for practicing exclusive breast-feeding for the first six months of life; while resumption of studies or work (38.4%) and the belief that the newborn was not ‘satisfied’ (34.2%) were the main reasons for introducing other foods. Most children (84.5%) did not receive any foods before the first breastfeed. Breast milk substitutes were given to 70.5% of the babies. Most women (87.1%) breastfed on demand, and breast pain was the main difficulty in 60.5% of the mothers. Being a housewife was positively associated with exclusive breast-feeding (OR:2.18, 95% CI: [1.25-3.81], P= 0.005 ). CONCLUSION Exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months remains low in this setting. Sensitization and education of mothers during prenatal visits and routine consultations should be reinforced.

New and improved infrared absorption cross sections for chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22)

Abstract. The most widely used hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) commercially since the 1930s has been chloro-difluoromethane, or HCFC-22, which has the undesirable effect of depleting stratospheric ozone. As this molecule is currently being phased out under the Montreal Protocol, monitoring its concentration profiles using infrared sounders crucially requires accurate laboratory spectroscopic data. This work describes new high-resolution infrared absorption cross sections of chlorodifluoromethane over the spectral range 730–1380 cm−1, determined from spectra recorded using a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (Bruker IFS 125HR) and a 26 cm pathlength cell. Spectra of chlorodifluoromethane/dry synthetic air mixtures were recorded at resolutions between 0.01 and 0.03 cm−1 (calculated as 0.9/MOPD; MOPD denotes the maximum optical path difference) over a range of temperatures and pressures (7.5–762 Torr and 191–295 K) appropriate for atmospheric conditions. This new cross-section dataset improves upon the one currently available in the HITRAN (HIgh-resolution TRANsmission) and GEISA (Gestion et Etude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmospheriques) databases; in particular it provides coverage over a wider range of pressures and temperatures, has more accurate wavenumber scales, more consistent integrated band intensities, improved signal-to-noise, is free of channel fringing, and additionally covers the ν2 and ν7 bands.
Implementation of Common Service Centre Project in India: A Case Study of Zoom Developers Private Limited

The Information Technology (IT) Sector has led India to become a potent global hub of providing IT andIT enabled Services (IT-ITeS). Due to continuous technological advancements and innovations in ITsector, the Government of India (GOI) has been very proactive in applying it to rural sector to bridge theurban and rural divide. The emergence of e-Government as a force in developing India has led to thediscovery of many innovative ways of public service delivery to citizens and businesses with the primefocus on rural sector. The choice of Common Service Center (CSC) based service delivery model is oneof the major and commendable initiatives by GOI. The CSC is created to offer a diversified range ofgovernment and non-government services at one location. The ambitious CSC project is all aboutestablishing 1, 00,000 CSCs across the country at the lowest local government body at village level(Gram Panchayat Level) by Government of India under its National e-Governance Plan (NeGP)(Common Service Centre (N.D.). In other words these CSCs are government’s front end delivery ekiosks.The project is being carried out by a joint collaborative approach between government and privatesectors under Public- Private Partnership Model (PPP) (Kurian and Ray, 2009). This paper highlights theissues and challenges encountered by private entity, Zoom Developers (Zoom), in implementing theproject to establish over 12,000 CSCs in eight states. It further discusses sustainability and success ofthese projects.
Bioinformatics Pipeline for Next Generation Sequencing Analysis in Association Studies of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

A complete bioinformatics pipeline for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis has been developed and applied to study the association of called variants with susceptibility in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). This bioinformatics pipeline integrates the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) with state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools such as quality control reporters, aligners, alternative callers (i.e. Platypus), annotators, and auxiliary tools. The pipeline executes a sequence of SBash and Bash shell scripts by queuing the programmed jobs to a SLURM queue at a cluster server provided by La Laguna University (ULL). It is also executable with a local Linux machine. We tested the pipeline by calling single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in targeted NGS data from 192 individuals with IPF, where 16,253 variant sites were identified. The call concordance between the two utilized callers (GATK and Platypus) was estimated at 77.8% when we compared matching overlapping sites. With this data, an association study following an unmatched case-control design was performed using unrelated European individuals (n=501) from The 1000 Genomes Project as controls. Logistic regression models were applied to the phenotype trait using genotypes from the 10,245 SNPs with call rates >95%, adjusting with five principal components to account for population stratification. Despite the reduced sample size, we identified 38 variants reaching genome-wide significance (p<5x10), including one previously identified in the promoter region of MUC5B gene (rs35705950), and several other novel susceptibility variants.
Agroecological approaches to breeding: Crop, mixture and systems design for improved fitness, sustainable intensification, ecosystem services, and food and nutrition security

Agroecological approaches are designed to attain sustainable food production systems, with enhanced ecosystem function and resource efficiency, drawing from science, practice and social engagement. In addition to good management, the choice of appropriate crop and cultivar for these agroecological targets is essential. Crop and genotype selection must first focus upon agroecological fitness, which requires a close understanding of the desired crop and plant behaviour in order to achieve the productivity, sustainability and ecosystem goals. An important issue is crop design, specifically the traits and trait combinations that confer resource efficiency and ecosystem function, as well as yield and nutritional quality. The dynamics of crop response should also be considered, including patterns of adaptation to different soil constraints or management regimes, and how these patterns may vary with seasonal conditions and climate change. The necessary crop design will differ depending upon these ecosystem and management considerations. These principles can then be adapted to alternative systems, including intercropping, relay sowing and mixtures, based upon the concepts of competition and commensalism. The products that are generated must be considered, whether grain, forage, livestock or all of these, and the associated system evaluated rather than individual efficiencies. Issues for selection in mixed systems are examined with reference to the concepts of co-evolution and joint selection, drawing from diverse examples, including underused and perennial crop forage and tree species. The identification of successful systems will require an improved agroecological understanding as a basis for improved crop, mixture and systems design.
Remittances, financial development and economic growth: empirical evidence from Lesotho

Increasingly remittances now constitute a great source of foreign currency inflows for many developing countries. In some instances remittances have outpaced the growth of foreign direct investment (FDI). Amongst others, remittances can be used as a vehicle of savings mobilisation as well as fostering the supply of credit by providing liquidity to the market. In this article we investigate the causal relationship between the remittances, financial development and economic growth in Lesotho for the period 1975 to 2010. We make use of per capita remittances, real per capita broad money supply and real per capita growth domestic product as the proxies for remittances, financial development and economic growth respectively. We then test for cointegration amongst the variables by applying the Johansen procedure and then test for Granger causality based on the vector error correction model (VECM). Our results confirm the existence of at least one cointegrating relationship and also indicate that the direction of causality runs from remittances to the economy without feedback. The results also suggest that financial development Granger causes economic growth without feedback which is consistent with ‘supply-leading’ growth hypothesis. The results also confirm a causal relationship running from financial development to remittances without feedback. The results also lend credence to the “complementarity’ hypothesis in that, remittances complement rather than substitute financial development in bringing about economic growth. *
