Teacher Voice in Curriculum Development in Saudi Schools

Little research into teacher voice in the area of curriculum development in Saudi Arabia has been carried out to date, and none in the area of Saudi native English Language teachers; therefore, this study contributed to this under-researched area and raised awareness of the issue in this context. This study aimed to find out more about how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers working in the public school system in Saudi Arabia perceive ? voice? and whether they use their ? voice? to contribute to curriculum development. The study presented the findings of a small, exploratory, critical study into teacher voice and curriculum development. The participants were six English as a Foreign Language teachers working in Saudi public schools, three male and three female. All the participants were Saudi nationals who work within agirls? and a boys? intermediate school in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was carried out using thematic analysis procedures and the three themes emerged from the interview data were: (a) lack of response to teacher voice, (b) top-down approach to curriculum design, (c) desire to be heard. This study has underpinned by a critical agenda with a focus on raising awareness of the lack of teacher voice in curriculum development and empowering teachers to make their voice be heard. The findings indicated that teachers had a clear idea of how and why they should contribute their voice to curriculum development, but that the current system marginalized their voice in favour of ? experts? at a higher level in the hierarchical education system. The study concluded with some Implications for empowering teachers to contribute to how curriculum is developed and teachers? right to be involved in the decision-making process at all levels. Recommendations for future research are made.
SEROEPIDEMIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF FASCIOLIASIS IN NORTHERN IRAN

Following an outbreak of fascioliasis in Anzali Harbor in 1988, 452 blood samples were collected using a multistage sampling method for hematological and serological studies. After determination of eosinophilia in the samples, antifasciolia antibodies in the sera were also determined using enzyme linked immuno sorbant assay (ELISA) and counter-current im­ muno electrophoresis (CCIE). 64.2% of the samples were collected from women and omitting the age effect and P<0.05, the rate of infection was 1.16 times more in women than in men as shown by hypereosinophili a and ELISA test results. Age distribution of seropositivity in both sexes with p<O.OOl was statistically significant and the highest rate of seropositivity was seen among the below 20 age group in both sexes. The highest expected rate of seropositivity (24.12) was observed in location six (Taleghan area), but an average and more uniform distribution was seen in other locations. 50% of the samples using ELISA techniques and 34.95% using CCIE were positive indicating that point prevalence of the disease was in Anzali
Detection of Antibodies Against Melioidosis from Animal Sera in Thailand by Indirect Haemagglutination Test

Antibody detection against melioidosis from 8,153 serum samples of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and deers of 18 provinces in Thailand was done by using indirect haemagglutination test during the year 2005-2006 (6,576 goat sera , 1,050 pig sera, 78 cattle sera , 83 deer sera and 366 sheep sera). Serum antibodies titer at ≥ 1:160 against melioidosis were found in goats (0.33%), pigs (7.23%), cattle (2.56%), deers (7.23%) and sheep (6.83%), however, more information is needed for the conclusion of this study.
Moxifloxacina: profilo farmacologico, terapeutico e farmacoeconomico

Moxifloxacin is a new fluorquinolone antibiotic, recently introduced among the treatment options for upper and lower airways infections. It possesses a wide antibiotic spectrum, covering the major pathogens involved in the genesis of community acquired pneumonia (CAP), acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (AECB) and acute bacterial sinusitis (ABS). It acts in a concentration-dependent manner by inhibition of bacterial DNAgirase and topoisomerase IV, has a long biological half-life (about 12 hours), good oral bioavailability, excellent tissue diffusion and a better safety profile than other quinolones, because of the lack of phototoxicity and the scarsity of clinically significant drug interactions. The clinical results of moxifloxacin in CAP, AECB and ABS have been compared with those of available alternative antibiotics in several multicentric, double-blind studies, and the new fluorquinolone resulted at least as effective as the comparators, with similar tolerability profiles. These studies demonstrated a high correlation among the eradication of the pathogen and the clinical recovery of the patients. The pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and clinical results of moxifloxacin render it one of the most attractive options for the empirical treatment of upper and lower airways infections, more so since its pharmacoeconomic profile appears to be very convenient. In fact, the low dosing frequency (once daily), the possibility of oral administration, the quick onset of the therapeutic action, the high clinical and microbiological success rate even with low duration cycles (5 days) and the good safety profile make the cost/efficacy ratio of moxifloxacin in the treatment of common airways infections very advantageous in comparison to those of all available treatment alternatives.
Évaluation de l’insécurité alimentaire dans le Comté de Sacramento

In 2001, about 56,000 adults were estimated to be food insecure in Sacramento County. This number tends to keep rising eventhough several federal food assistance programs are available to the low-income population. The objectives of our study were to describe the population using emergency food assistance programs and to evaluate the federal food programs available to low-income people. Two different methods were used. Personal interviews of key informants in charge of the federal programs were made and a self-administered questionnaire was delivered in emergency food agencies. A total of 338 food aid recipients answered the questionnaire. Among individuals receiving emergency food assistance, 80 % lived below the poverty level and 62 % had a member in their household who experienced hunger in the past year. More than 27 % of the households had an income related to work. Among them 73 % lived below the poverty level and more than 82 % were food insecure. The study showed that eligible residents often did not access federal food programs either because they do not know about them or because there are too many barriers to their utilization such as : the lack of information regarding the programs, the language barrier, especially for immigrants, the difficult access to the program sites and the administrative burden of most programs. People using emergency food programs also declared that food stamps were insufficient to feed the household during a month, which explained why they seek assistance from emergency agencies. In order to decrease the number of people using emergency food programs it is necessary to improve the outreach efforts of the federal food programs towards the low-income community. En 2001, environ 56 000 adultes etaient consideres en situation d’insecurite alimentaire dans le Comte de Sacramento. Malgre les six programmes d’aide alimentaire administres par le gouvernement americain, le nombre de personnes ayant recours a des structures d’aide alimentaire d’urgence n’a cesse de croitre durant les 20 dernieres annees. Notre etude a pour objectif de connaitre les personnes ayant recours a l’aide alimentaire d’urgence et d’evaluer l’utilisation des programmes gouvernementaux au sein du Comte. Pour cela, 338 personnes ont ete interrogees dans les structures d’aide alimentaire d’urgence et des entretiens ont ete effectues avec les responsables de chaque programme gouvernemental. Notre etude montre que les programmes gouvernementaux sont sousutilises principalement du fait du manque d’information aupres des personnes eligibles et de barrieres telles que la difficulte d’acceder aux centres, les problemes de langue pour de nombreux immigres ou des lourdeurs administratives.
10α-Hydroxy-13-{[4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]methyl}-4,9-dimethyl-3,8,15-trioxatetracyclo[10.3.0.02,4.07,9]pentadecan-14-one

The title compound, C25H34N2O6, was synthesized from 9α-hydroxyparthenolide (9α-hydroxy-4,8-dimethyl-12-methylene-3,14-dioxatricyclo[9.3.0.02,4]tetradec-7-en-13-one), which was isolated from the chloroform extract of the aerial parts of Anvillea radiata. The ten-membered ring adopts an approximate chair–chair conformation, while the piperazine ring displays a near regular chair conformation and the five-membered ring an envelope conformation with the C atom closest to the hydroxy group forming the flap. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an O—H⋯N hydrogen bond, which generates an S(7) loop, and the crystal structure features weak C—H⋯O interactions.
The Presence of the Pubic Louse Pthirus Pubisin Two Patients Complaining from TickInfestation

Lice of the family pediculidae are obligatory parasites, which are accompanying the human kind during its entire evolution. We present the case of two patients, who visited our hospital with multiple bites. The physical examination of the patients did not reveal any ticks however, the more in depth inspection of the pubic area, where the pruritus was intense, revealed the presence of 1-1.5 mm long insects, which were diagnosed by the parasitologists as belonging to the pubic louse P. pubis. The patients and their families were treated with 5% permethrin and were free of lice and symptoms within two weeks.
1-(4-Bromobenzoyl)-2-phenylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamide

In the title compound, C18H17BrN2O2, which is a potential human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, the pyrrolidine ring exhibits an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [N⋯O = 2.861 (3) Å] link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
Neutralizing Antibodies in Patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Associated Coronavirus Infection

Abstract Background. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is the principal etiologic agent of SARS. We analyzed serum samples obtained from 623 patients with SARS in Beijing, to determine whether infection with SARS-CoV can elicit neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). Methods. We developed a highly sensitive and safe neutralization assay using the SARS-CoV pseudotyped virus and used this assay to determine the titers of the NAbs in serum samples from patients with SARS. Results. We found that 85.9% of serum samples contained NAbs against SARS-CoV and that most of the NAb activities could be attributed to immunoglobulin G. The NAbs became detectable first at 5–10 days after the onset of symptoms, and their levels peaked at 20–30 days and then were sustained for >150 days. The serum samples could neutralize the pseudotype particles bearing the spike glycoproteins from different SARS-CoV strains, suggesting that the NAbs to SARS-CoV were broadly reactive. Conclusions. NAbs to SARS-CoV are broadly elicited in patients with SARS and, according to their kinetics, may correlate with viral load during the early stages of the disease. These results suggest that it is possible to develop effective vaccines against SARS and that NAbs provide a potential strategy for treating patients with SARS.
What else than smoking? The effect of prenatal maternal investments on birth outcomes

Prenatal maternal smoking is associated to a number of negative child health outcomes at birth. This paper adds to the literature on the effects of maternal prenatal smoking in three ways: First, it improves on data issues by exploiting high quality survey and registry data from Denmark, which are less likely to be coloured by reporting bias as post-natal reports are. Second, the paper includes other important maternal health behaviours into the analysis, most importantly maternal prenatal alcohol consumption. Third, the paper exploits information on mothers with multiple births to identify the causal effect of those life style choices. Results for the (negative) smoking effect are similar in size to some earlier results based on within sibling-pair variation but smaller than crosssectional estimates. Maternal alcohol consumption displays an ambiguous effect in the crosssectional models, while its effect is pronounced and negative in the sibling models. The analysis indicates that selection into the sibling subsample and measurement error in the smoking variable are minor concerns.

A short Br⋯Br contact of 3.6025 (11) Å is observed within a pair of inversion-related molecules.
The Changing Medical Regulatory Context: Focusing on Doctor’s Educational Practices

This paper outlines contemporary developments in the regulation of the medical profession in the United Kingdom. It discusses how recent reforms in medical regulation illustrate that the state has responded to calls to reform medical governance so it is more open, transparent and publicly accountable by subjecting rank and file doctors and their elite governing institutions to a rationalistic-bureaucratic discourse of standard setting and performance appraisal. It argues for the need for social scientists to assess the impact of this development by conducting research into how doctors keep themselves up to date and ‘fit to practice’ in their chosen medical specialty.
Identification of bacterial and fungal agents of clinical endometritis in dairy heifers and treatment by metronidazole or cephapirin

This study was aimed to identify fungal and bacterial causes of clinical endometritis as the first study in one hundred thirty dairy heifers by culture and PCR methods, and also to evaluate intrauterine cephapirin and/or metronidazole treatments. Although there were no growth of bacteria and fungi agents in all samples but PCR results showed the presence of E.coli and Trueperella pyogenes in six heifers. Conception rate of the treated heifers with metronidazole and cephapirin was significantly higher than that of untreated heifers. Heifers in metronidazole-treated group had higher conception rate compared to cephapirin group but the difference was not significant. A greater conception rate was observed in heifers that had clear discharge at time of insemination, compared to heifers with mucopurulent or opaque discharges. The results of this study showed that the pregnancy rate of treated heifers was significantly higher than that of untreated heifers. It could be concluded that treatment of affected heifers and the clear discharges at the time of AI could improve conception rate.
La séparation de la famille: un moyen pour promouvoir l’autonomie

This article proposes some reflections about the experience of therapeutic separations from family for a disable child in the context of a day care center. In those cases where family bounds are entangled and the separation process gets stuck, professionals can propose to parents a night care for the child for just few days a week, in order to support and to help the family. The hypothesis behind this proposal is that this kind of separation supervised by professionals may be therapeutic for the whole family system.

Research, policy and practice related to survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancers in British Columbia (BC), Canada: A population-based approach

9539 Background and Purpose: Prevalence of long term survivors of pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers is increasing. In BC we are using a multidimensional population approach to address research and care for these survivors. Information on trends in prevalence of survivors and use of physician services are presented. Methods: We have identified a cohort of patients under 25, diagnosed from population registries since 1970, and linked their records with person-based longitudinal records of health utilization. Results: Prevalence rate of cancer survivors aged 0–59 years, originally diagnosed under age 25, increased 5 fold between 1975 and 2005, from 26 per 100,000 to 147 per 100,000; 78% were aged 20 or older. A total subgroup of 3,787 individuals surviving five years or more, diagnosed between 1970 and 1995, were identified; 2,590 (68%) of these were linked to physician visit records (excluding visits within BC's Children's Hospital) from 1986 to 2000. In year 2000, 77% of survivors had at least .
Derived from Garcinia cambogia - A Literature Review

Summary and Conclusions An ever increasing number of well-designed and appropriately controlled studies in animals and humans have indicated that HCA is both safe and efficacious. Safety studies in experimen-tal animals at up to 25 times the human equivalency doses did not produce hepatotoxicity or other significant adverse effects. Furthermore, a number of in vivo and in vitro studies have indi-cated that HCA may be hepatoprotective and chemoprotective.There is no question that issues exist with respect to the appro-priate safety and efficacy of herbal ingredients and dietary supple-ments, as well as their regulation and quality control—just as there are issues with numerous govern-ment-approved conventional drugs, including over-the-coun-ter drugs such as acetaminophen, which cause extensive morbid-ity and mortality. However, to point an accusatory finger at an ingredient that has been exten-sively studied and for which no significant adverse effects have been reported in animal and human studies at commonly used doses is not only unreason-able, but scientifically indefen-sible and even counterproduc-tive. If it were to be established in well-controlled animal studies that the use of specific Hydroxy-cut formulations can result in the induction of hepatotoxic-ity, additional studies should be conducted to characterize the causative factor(s). No such trials are known to be in progress, and human clinical studies certainly cannot be conducted to establish the hepatotoxicity of specific Hydroxycut products.It is imperative that sound science be used in the evaluation of the potential positive as well as negative effects of herbal ingredi-ents and dietary supplements, given the worldwide use of these products. The recently-enacted legal requirement for reporting of serious adverse events is an important step forward in assessing and monitoring potential negative effects of dietary supplements, and the good manufacturing practices (GMPs) being implemented by the FDA with respect to dietary supplements should prove benefi-cial in preventing untoward effects from contaminants, adulter-ants, or inappropriate amounts of known ingredients. In addition to these new industrial regulatory safeguards, efficacy and safety studies will continue to be important means for objectively evalu-ating dietary supplement ingredients and products.

Efficacy of oral altrenogest for postponing ovulation in the mare

Efficacy of Oral Altrenogest for Postponing Ovulation in the Mare. (August 2003) Sandra Lee Murrell, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Martha M. Vogelsang The horse industry relies heavily on the breeding manager’s ability to get a large number of mares bred each season. Therefore, it is beneficial to optimize use of the stallion and number of cycles per conception, both of which are related to the time of ovulation. Currently, methods exist to induce ovulation of a Graafian follicle; however there is no widely accepted method for delaying ovulation. Considering the main factors that lead to ovulation it could be hypothesized that the short-term administration of a progestin, such as altrenogest, would have the potential to postpone ovulation of a follicle that has reached ovulatory size. Twenty-six mares ranging in age from three to 23 years were paired by age and randomly assigned to a 2X4 blocked experiment. The factors were 1) stallion (Groups A-D) and 2) hormonal treatment (.044mg/kg BW altrenogest for 2 d) or control (Neobee M5 oil for 2 d). Hormonal administration for each mare was initiated upon detection of a follicle with a 35 mm or greater diameter. Mares were artificially inseminated starting on the first day of treatment and continuing every other day until ovulation was confirmed by ultrasonography. Blood samples were collected daily throughout the estrous
