National Survey of Pharmacy Practice at MOH Hospitals in Saudi Arabia 2016-2017: Prescribing and Medication Management

Objective: To explore National Survey of Pharmacy Practice at MOH hospitals in Saudi Arabia 2016: Prescribing and medication management. Methods: It is a 4-months cross-sectional National Survey of Pharmacy Practice at MOH hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The study consisted of two parts; the demographic information and the second part contained eighty-five questions divided into eight domains drove from American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), Saudi Pharmaceutical Society (SPS) survey, and the international standard of Joint Commission of Hospital Accreditation. The 5-point Likert response scale system was used with closed and ended questions. An electronic questionnaire was distributed to the one hundred eighty-five directors of pharmacies at MOH hospitals. The study discussed and analyzed National Survey of Pharmacy Practice at MOH hospitals in Saudi Arabia: the prescribing and medication management. Results: The survey questionnaire distributed to 185 of hospitals, the rate of reply, was 105 (56.75%) hospitals. The highest score of committee shared by the hospital pharmacy was the pharmacy and therapeutics committee (4.33), quality management committee (4.06), infection control committee (3.88), while the lowest scores were Anticoagulation committee (2.14), DUE committee (2.16) and IV therapy committee (1.99). The most therapeutic guideline available in the hospital pharmacies were antibiotics guidelines (2.91) followed by infection control (2.84) and anticoagulation guidelines (2.13). The majority formulary management method used was restricted prescribing certain expensive drugs 33 (33.1%), review of non-formulary drugs prior approval 27 (25.7%), and the closed drug formulary 14(13.3%). The most drug utilization activities used at the hospitals were Used as the basis for revision of drug-use policies and procedures 44 (41.9%) and Incorporated into medical staff credentialing considerations 27 (25.7%) The pharmacist has the privilege to write medication orders were 18 (17.1%) only. The pharmacist commonly prescribed over the counter medications 19 (57.6%) and antibiotics 15 (45.5%) through the prescription cosigned by physician 55 (52.4%). Followed by Drugs under prescribing protocol 39 (37.1%) and Medications Refill Clinic 26 (24.8%). Conclusion: The hospital seldom participated in the therapeutic guidelines, and the few pharmacists shared in essential hospital committees despite the unique role of providing medication information. Expanding pharmacy activities will improve the prescribing system, patient clinical outcomes, and prevent drug misadventures. Key word: Prescribing, Medication management, Ministry of health, Saudi arabia.
A ZIMBARDO TIME PERSPECTIVE INVENTORY (ZTPI) SURVEY OF JAPANESE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Time perspectives are dimensions of psychological time which partition experience into past, present, and future frames. This paper introduces the results from a survey of 504 Japanese university students using the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). Exploratory factor analysis was employed to explore the structural validity of the inventory. In addition, the relationship between time perspectives and self-reported, educationally relevant behavior/achievement criteria were investigated. The ZTPI scales were found to be of adequate reliability. Exploratory factor analysis offered mild support for the original ZTPI scale, and stronger support for a shortened version of the scale developed by Shimojima, Sato and Ochi (2012). Positive correlations of medium strength were discovered between a positive future orientation and academic performance/love of studying, while a negative medium strength correlation connects a fatalistic attitude with academic performance. The research findings add to the sizable existing body of research on broad cultural differences in time perception. A comparison of mean scores suggested that Japanese university students tend to hold more negative views toward the past and be less future-oriented than their American counterparts.
Counting Fingers in Real Time Using Computer-Vision Techniques

— A video-based human-computer interface called the Finger Counter was developed to allow control of a computer with hand signals. The interface works in real time with an inexpensive, consumer-grade camera, such as a webcam. A background-modeling algorithm compensates for camera noise and minor vibration to segment the hand from a cluttered background. A rule-based protrusion estimator determines the number of ﬁngers a user holds up in front of the camera. The interface was tested in a game designed to teach children to count with their ﬁngers and a program that allows a user to “ﬁnger paint” on a computer screen. Tests determined that the hand signal most difﬁcult to detect is “5,” with worst-case operational limits on the range of hand’s roll, pitch, and yaw angles of 40 (cid:14) , 114 (cid:14) and 21 (cid:14) , respectively, and of distance between hand and camera of 0.67 m. Tests involving 20 subjects showed that the system successfully recognized gestures between 82.5% and 100% of the time. Response times averaging 2.38 s were comparable to those using a keyboard. In tests involving the “ﬁnger paint” program, the median error was 19.5 pixel units compared with 14.2 pixel units for a computer mouse.
A CRITICAL STUDY ON THE OPTICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ALUMINIUM DOPED ZINC OXIDE THIN FILMS

Aluminium doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were deposited by sol-gel spin coating method on corning glass substrate. The effect of Al concentration (1.5%, 2% and 2.5 mol% AZO) and annealing temperature (5000C, 6000C and 7000C) on structure, morphology and optical properties of the thin films have been studied by X-Ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV-VIS spectroscopy, respectively. All the deposited thin films show the crystallite growth in c-axis (002) orientations with hexagonal wurtzite structure. An enhancement in crystallinity was observed with increasing annealing temperature. The crystallite size has been found to decrease with an increase in Al concentration and these results are further correlated with SEM investigations. The crystallite size and lattice constant calculation reveal nano crystalline nature of the particles. SEM images give the morphology of the film that consists of uniform spherical grains. An optical transmittance of 90% has been attained for 2.5% AZO films annealed at 700 ̊C in oxygen environment. The optical studies show a shift in absorption edge from 370 nm to 350 nm with increasing annealing temperature. Blue shift in the optical band gap is witnessed with rise in dopant concentration and increasing annealing temperature. The electrical transport properties are studied by two probe method.
Durable Bridges Using Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer and Hybrid Reinforced Concrete Columns (MPC-609)

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have been studied and applied to reinforced concrete (RC) structures that require strengthening or seismic rehabilitation. Structural strengthening and seismic rehabilitation utilize externally bonded FRP laminates as an alternative compared to conventional techniques such as steel plates or section enlargement. Such activities have initiated an increasing trend for overcoming the detrimental effects of steel reinforcement corrosion in RC structures, particularly columns and cap beams in bridges. Capacity degradation of RC components occurs in harsh weather conditions when initially corroded steel reinforcement expands, which causes subsequent strength losses through cracking and spalling of concrete. A high cost of rehabilitation and disruption occurs because of closures, for extending the lifespan of bridges. Experiments prove that externally wrapped carbon FRP layers may reduce corrosion rates, but the corrosion process is not completely prevented, leading to a loss in ultimate axial capacity of columns (Bae and Belabri, 2009; Pantelides et al. 2013).

1 MBBS, MD Pathology, Tutor, Baroda Medical College 2 MBBS, MD Pathology, Assistant Professor, Baroda Medical College 3 MBBS, MD Pathology Corresponding Author Dr Neelam Shah 04 Shantapark, Behind Citizen Society Atmjyoti Ashram Road, Vadodara-390023 Contact Number9724318304, Email: ptshah56@gmail.com Abstract Objectives: To evaluate Prevalence and geographical distribution of various hemoglobinopathies in central Gujarat by using HPLC. Method: Hemoglobinopathies were evaluated by prospective study on BIORAD variant of HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) system in tertiary care hospital, central Gujarat. Out of 5624 cases received in our laboratotry 994 show sickling solubility test positive. A total 1203 samples were analyzed by HPLC for sickle cell and other suspected heamoglobinopathies at SSG Hospital over a period of 1 year from January 2016 to December 2016. The retention times (RT), proportion of hemoglobin (%) and the peak characteristics of all hemoglobin fractions were recorded. Many cases were advised for familial study. Results: Among 5624 samples studied, abnormal hemoglobinopathies was seen in 1022(18.17%) cases, In which sickle cell trait (SCT) 681(12.10%), sickle cell disease (SCD) 272(4.83%), sickle thalassemia syndrome 38(0.63%), Beta thalassemia minor 20( 0.35%), Beta thalassemia major 5 (0.09%), HBD Punjab 2(0.035%), Sickle HBD Punjab 2(0.035%), Sickle HBE 1 (0.017%), B-Thalassemia Intermediate 1 (0.017%). Conclusion: In our study sickle cell trait and disease were the most prevalent hemoglobinopathies. Ethinicity wise distribution shows Rath was/Vasavas have high incidence of haemoglobinopathies . but many other casts have low incidence of haemoglobinopathies. So for effective control programme we should include all the casts. HPLC is a simple, accurate tool in the early detection and management of various hemoglobinopathies.
Antidiabetic Evaluations of some Traditional Plants in Alloxan Induced Diabetic Mice Model

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is defined as a group of metabolic diseases manifested by hyperglycemia which results from defects in insulin production and/or insulin action. The present study was conducted to demonstrate the diabetogenic effect of Alloxan in Mice. Synthetic drug treatment for diabetes mellitus carries risks that lead to many adverse effects such as weight loss, hypoglycemia and many others. Asian countries including Bangladesh, India are rich in natural resources and medicinal plants useful in the treatment of diabetes. To investigate the anti-diabetic or anti-hyperglycemic effect of the Bitter melon, Chirata and Cinnamon extract on Alloxan induced diabetes in experimental mice. The extract of bitter melon, chirata and cinnamon were tested for its efficacy in Alloxan at a dose 120mg/kg of body weight induced diabetic mice.This study was conducted to compare the anti-diabetic effect of Bitter melon, Chirata and Cinnamon extracts on body weight, blood glucose, HbA1c and insulin level in Alloxan induced diabetic mice.Eighteen male swiss albino mice were kept in six different groups and each group have three male swiss albino mice for 21 days. Group T0 served as negative control; Group T1 Alloxan induced 120 mg/kg of body weight served as positive control; Group T2 were Alloxan induced 120mg/kg and mice treated with 5g/kg Metformin drug; Group T3 were Alloxan induced 120mg/kg and mice treated with 300mg/kg of Chirata extract; Group T4 were Alloxan induced 120mg/kg and mice treated with 300mg/kg Bitter melon extract and Group T5 were Alloxan induced 120mg/kg and mice treated with 300mg/kg Cinnamon extract. The effects of extracts on blood glucose, HbA1c and Insulin level were tested by bio-chemestry analyzer. Results were analyzed by using one-way ANOVA at a 1% level of significance.The blood glucose level was significantly (< 0.01) reduced at 300 mg/kg body weight of Bitter melon extract as compared to the diabetic group. The HbA1c level was greatly (< 0.01) reduced at 300 mg/kg body weight of Chirata extract as compared to the diabetic group. The insulin level was significantly (< 0.01) increased at 300 mg/kg body weight of Cinnamon extract as compared to the diabetic group.Reduction in the blood glucose level by Bitter melon extract, also reduction in the HbA1c level by Chirata extract and greatly increased in insulin level by Cinnamon extract indicates that these have anti-diabetic effect in Alloxan induced diabetic mice.
Symptomatology, Electron Microscopy and RT- PCR in Detection of Dolichos Mosaic Virus Infecting Field Bean (Lablab purpureus L.)

Field bean (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet) is one of the important pulse crops in tropics. Dolichos mosaic virus (DMV) infected field bean plants produced symptoms like vein clearing, uneven leaf lamina, twisting of leaves, mosaic mottling, puckering and blistering on newly formed trifoliate leaves. The purified preparation of the virus under electron microscopy revealed the presence of long flexuous rod shaped particles approximately measuring ~750 nm in size. RT-PCR product ~ 340 bp amplified by using BCMV specific partial CP gene primers indicated the infection of BCMV in dolichos.
Elite capture of clean water in Bangladesh

Fifty seven million Bangladeshis consume well water with arsenic concentrations exceeding WHO safety standards. NGOs and the Bangladeshi government’s Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) have installed over 200,000 low-arsenic deep wells to alleviate this problem. However, the spatial distribution of these deep wells does not maximize their accessibility to populations currently drinking contaminated water. We investigate the extent to which elite capture can explain the existing inefficiency in deep well placement. We first show that local politicians are more likely to have a deep well built near them during periods when their political party is in power. We then incorporate our estimates of the extent of political preference into a model of deep well placements using a maximal cover algorithm. In total, we estimate that elite capture accounts for about a fifth (18%) of current inefficiency in deep well placement.

According to World Health Organization (WHO), anemia in pregnancy is defined as hemoglobin concentration <11gm% and further categorized into three levels • Mild: 9-10.9gm/dl • Moderate: 78.9gm/dl • Severe: <7gm/dl.
Setting the agenda by early day motions (EDMs): The case of the United Kingdom Parliament

The issue of how agendas are set in parliaments is one that has been well researched by scholars. They have focused their examination on two major areas, namely seeking to understand the procedures of the relevant assembly that allow the government and the opposition to block or delay legislation and secondly, researching on the effectiveness of those procedures in delaying and blocking legislation. The goal of this study is to expand the knowledge about issue salience by using data from Early Day Motions (EDMs) in the UK parliament, particularly in the House of Commons, to determine how MPs set the parliamentary agenda. The study will be conducted in the context of Tony Blair’s third (and last) government. The study will extend Cox and McCubbins’ cartel model (Cox and McCubbins, 2005) with its concepts of agenda power, both positive and negative, into this new area in order to examine how MPs use EDMS to set their agenda.
Recruiting new graduates: What success profile are organizations looking for?

In today’s competitive business world, even though young adults strive to be employed by well-known corporations, having a degree does not guarantee an employment opportunity. Employers prefer candidates not only with qualifications, but also with a ‘success profile’ comprised of competencies, personal attributes, experience and knowledge that portray a holistic view of success (DDI, 2009). This study aims to shed light on the ‘success profile’ organizations are looking for from new graduates regardless of the positions they are being recruited for. As part of the study, 205 participants (predominantly recruitment professionals) from both multinational and local companies based in Istanbul, took part in an on-line survey. According to the results, the criteria identified in order of importance were; working as part of a team, written communication skills, analysing and gathering information (competencies); knowledge of advanced English, degree course and prestige of university (knowledge); internship experience, taking part in extracurricular activities, volunteer work (experience) and; highly responsible, continuous learner and good communicator (personal attributes). Personal attributes were followed by competencies, knowledge and experience in terms of priority rankings. The findings and their implications will be discussed as to how these criteria can be fostered during educational years and beyond.
PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON RED BELLY TILAPIA COPTODON ZILLII CAUGHT FROM OYAN DAM, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA

The study was carried out on the biological aspect of Redbelly Tilapia, Coptodon zillii collected from Oyan Lake, Abeokuta North Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria, with the aim of contributing to the baseline data for carrying out further studies on its ecology, conservation and development. A total of two hundred and fifty four fish (254) specimens were caught from the Ibaro landing site of the Lake between March and July, 2015. The total length (cm), standard length (cm), head length (cm), body width (cm), body depth (cm), snout length (cm), eye diameter (cm) and body weight (g) were measured. The stomach content was also assessed in order to determine its food and feeding habit. The mean total-length, standard-length, head-length, eye-diameter, snout-length, body-depth, body-width and body-weight during the study were 10.98±0.61cm, 8.56±0.14cm, 2.5±0.08cm, 3.67±0.15cm, 1.52±0.11cm,1.37±0.17cm, 4.05±0.07cm, 34.25±3.02g respectively and their ranges were (4.5-18.7cm), (3.2-15.2cm), (1.1-5.8cm), (2.0-6.8cm), (0.8-3.0cm), (1.1-4.8cm), (1.4-7.3cm) and (6.0-132.0g). A negative allometric (b<3) growth pattern was observed for the stock. The meristic characteristics of C. zillii were (DFR) XIV 10 – XVI 14; PVR, AFR III 8 –III 9; PFR 10 – 13 respectively. Stomach analysis showed that diatoms were the most abundant food items in the diet of C. zillii numerically, 29.98%, while desmids were the most abundant food items in terms of frequency occurrence, 27.82%. This study concluded that C. zillii is not morphometrically and meristically different from the already classified from previous studies. Also, C. zillii thrives well on available plants and detritus.
Anabolic Steroid and nutritional supplements effect on kidney

Background: Frequent use of anabolic steroids and dietary supplements for the purpose of the muscle mass is common among body builders. Recent evidence indicates that anabolic steroids are directly toxic to glomeruli and that segmental sclerosis is the result of podocyte loss mediated by apoptosis through a podocyte androgen receptor. The high-protein intake has been of concern to nephrologists because it increases glomerular filtration rates and is experimentally associated with glomerular hyperfiltration and FSGS. The aim of the present study was to asses and compare the effect of anabolic steroids and other nutritional supplements on kidney outcomes. Methods: Twenty male body builders volunteered to participate in this study, age between (20 and 35 years), Volunteers were divided into two groups. Group 1 (Steroid group) consisted of ten male volunteers use anabolic steroids (more than two years and less than 5 years) with concomitant use of whey protein, creatine monohydrate and Branched chain amino acids intermittently for more than 2 years. Group 2 (Non-Steroid group), included ten male volunteers use whey protein, creatine monohydrate and Branched chain amino acids intermittently for more than two years. Results: There is significant increase in the amount of protein in 24 hours of collected urine (mg/24 hrs.) in steroid group (group 1) when we compare its level to non steroid group (group 2) (24 hrs. urine ptn: 859.50 ± 805.72 vs. 128.50 ± 48.25, p<0.001). Conclusion: Long use of AASs could produce renal effects as variable elevations in serum creatinine and development of substantial proteinuria. [Sameh Abouzeid, Osama Mosbah, Mohamad Hegazy.

Intercropping of Onion with Rosemary as Supplementary Income Generation at Wondo Genet Sidama zone, Southern Ethiopia

A field experiment was conducted at wondo genet Agriculture research center under irrigated condition to diversify onion based farming system by inclusion of rosemary for additional cash generation and to determine optimum percentage of rosemary in onion-rosemary based farming system during the two successive seasons of 2014 and 2015. The experiment comprised of six treatments in additive series: sole onion (250000 plants ha1 ), sole rosemary (83333 plants ha1 ) and 4 onion-rosemary intercropping mixproportion: 100 onion:80 rosemary, 100 onion:60 rosemary, 100 onion:40 rosemary and 100 onion:20 rosemary, using randomized complete block design with four replications. Analysis of variance revealed that; intercropping of onion with different population densities of rosemary might affect fresh and dry bulb yield; highest bulb fresh yield and dry bulb yield were recorded at solitary cropping than that of intercropped. Regardless of mix proportion, highest (10973 kg/ha) and lowest (7839kg/ha) value of dry bulb yield were recorded at 20% and 80% rosemary intercropped with onion, respectively. Likewise; essential oil yield of rosemary was significantly influenced by cropping system; highest essential oil yield was obtained in sole planted than intercropped. In the same way, essential oil yield of rosemary was affected by different level of intercropped treatments; highest and lowest Essential oil yield were obtained at 80% and 20% rosemary intercropped with onion. The highest value of Land Equivalent Ratio (1.68) and Monitory Advantage (3956.5) were obtained when onion intercropped with 80 % rosemary population density. Therefore, the inclusion of onion with 80% a rosemary intercropping scheme raised yield advantage over the single crop per unit area and year as revealed by the highest total LER, and monetary advantage.
