Pharmacist prescribing training models in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada: Snapshot survey
Authors: Ghabour Mariam , Morris Caroline , Wilby Kyle John , Smith Alesha J.
Published: February 2023

Background: This study sought to identify the differences between training models for pharmacist prescribing across three countries according to the funding, model of prescribing the pharmacist will practice after training, training course framework, method of delivery, assessment, continuing professional development, and barriers and facilitators to enrolment.
Methods: An online quantitative/qualitative snapshot survey was sent to academics of pharmacist prescribing courses and Deans of different pharmacy schools in the UK (n=49), Australia (n=12), and Canada (n=10). A narrative analysis was undertaken.
Results: Seventeen pharmacy schools responded (24% response rate). The UK provides postgraduate training courses funded by the government. Canada incorporates prescribing competencies into entry-t- practice courses. Australia does not provide courses yet.
Conclusion: Pharmacist prescribing is still under-utilised in many countries. Standardisation would reduce variation and improve uptake in countries implementing pharmacist prescribing roles. However, there is currently no international unified system or curriculum for pharmacists' prescribing courses.

Effect Dynamic Stability of Atmospheric Boundary Layer on Plume Downward Flux Emitted from Daura Refinery Stacks
Authors: Hassoon Ahmed , Al-Dabbagh Sama
Published: February 2023

The vertical motion of air that enhances or restricts the atmospheric turbulence through atmospheric boundary layer is known as "atmospheric stability", in which any movement of atmospheric components such as water vapor, aerosols, etc. are affected by the atmospheric stability. The aim of this research is to test the effect of atmospheric boundary layer stability on the amount of downward aersols flux at 10um (PM10) emission from stacks of Daura refinery, and estimated of deposition dust aerosols PM10 amount in area around the Daura refinery. In this study, hourly atmospheric stability based on similar theory of Monin-Obukhov length is calculated from archived data of the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecast, and deposition velocity (Vd) for PM10 that is emitted from stacks Daura Refinery is calculated using the stability parameter (L). PM10 concentration is estimated according to the Gaussian model, which is used along with deposition velocity at this partical size in order to produce downward sedimentation flux (Fp) at distances 1000, 5000 and 10000 m from stack point sources emission. Results show that areas located to the south and southeast of the refinery receive large amounts of deposited flux values through stable weather conditions, where the accumulated PM10 amounts during one month have recorded 1.5 million μg /m2.s in January at a distance of 1000 m from refinery center stacks, while this amount reaches 532 million μg/m2.s during July due to the high emission rates resulting from burning fuel oil during July. The percentages of PM10 sedimentation decreased with the distance from the refinery to 1712 and 322839 μg /m2.s at a distance 10 km from the refinery in January and July, respectively. According to this method, the accumulated amount of PM10 in square meters can be estimated at any time, if atmospheric stability conditions and the domain of wind direction are known.

Published: February 2023

From theoretical and methodological point of view, this paper examines the possibility and justification of establishing Boarding school Pedagogy as a separate pedagogical discipline. Three essential characteristics that determine the answer to the question were analyzed: a) the definition of the terms ’boarding school’ and ’dormitory’ in the relevant literature, b) the position and function of boarding school and dormitory in the educational system and c) the position of Boarding school Pedagogy within the science of education and its relationship with other pedagogical disciplines. It has been shown that, when it comes to boarding school and dormitory, there is an agreement among authors that these are unique educational system institutions that have significant pedagogical potential and impact on students. The educational role of the institutions highly corresponds with the one of family and school, but it is specific enough to be considered as a separate pedagogi- cal discipline. Applying Bourdieu’s approach to determining social sciences, as well as a theoretical analysis of relevant scientific papers, the authors conclude that it is possible and justified to treat Boarding school pedagogy as a separate pedagogical discipline.

The paper presents the results of a research into the effects of music teaching within the subject Vocal and instrumental music course, which is taught at under- graduate studies of the Faculty of Education in Jagodina, in the pandemic conditions caused by the covid-19 virus. The traditional teaching has been replaced by new forms of work that involve the use of information technologies. This teaching model created a completely dif- ferent environment for learning. The paper presents a research study aiming at examining students’ opinions and attitudes about the quality of online teaching, that is, about a different concept of teaching Vocal and instrumental music course. In addition, the goal was to collect data which could serve as a basis for improving the organization and the quality of teaching in the event of a new pandemic. The responses of 76 second year undergraduate students from Class teacher and Preschool teacher study programs were analyzed. The research results have shown that theoretical knowledge can be acquired through distance learning; however, song recordings cannot replace contact teaching and online teaching cannot be more useful than face-to-face teaching. In addition, the responses of the surveyed students have shown that teaching music should not be conducted exclusively online.

There is a widespread concern among stakeholders and the ministry about the mental wellness of learners in secondary schools. The role of peer counselling in the helping processes of their fellow students cannot be under rated in the modern life for their proper growth and development. The study therefore focused on Assessment of the Forms of Peer Counselling in Providing Psychosocial Support to Students in Public Boarding Secondary Schools in Kericho County, Kenya. The study objective was to explore the forms of peer counselling providing psychosocial support for mental wellness of students in boarding secondary schools. Social Cognitive theory by Albert Bandura and Social Development theory by Lev Vygotsky guided the study. Data was generated from 12 schools, among 398 students and 48 peer counsellors selected by simple random sampling. Additionally, 12 heads of guidance and counselling and principals were included. The study adopted pragmatic paradigm, used mixed method research approach. The data was collected using questionnaires, interview schedules and focus group discussion. The results of the study revealed that the forms of peer counselling in boarding secondary schools use the roles of befriending (74.0%), mediation (72.8%), mentoring (72.8%), tutoring (72.6%) and educators (72.3%) in their helping process. The study concludes that the forms of peer counselling in public boarding secondary schools has a positive influence in providing psychosocial support to the students. The study therefore recommended that schools should use peer counselling for the psychosocial support of the learners. Sensitization of principals, teachers and heads of guidance and counselling on the benefits of Peer counselling on students’ psychosocial support is essential.

Introduction: smear layer is a thin layer formed from tooth structure instrumentation which can prevent the restoration material bonds the tooth structure. Partial smear layer should be removed using dentin conditioner. One of dentin conditioners that is often used is 10% polyacrylic acid. The natural ingredient that is thought to be an alternative to dentin conditioner is cocoa pulp juice because it contains many acidic compounds. Methods: This research is a laboratory experimental study to determine the ability of 100% cocoa pulp juice (Theobroma cacao L.) to remove the crown dentin smear layer and compare it to 10% polyacrylic acid. Eight dental elements were prepared for class I cavities on the middle 1/3 of buccal surface to reach 3 mm in diameter and 2 mm in depth, enamel was prepared until 1 mm in depth of cavity left. The samples were irrigated with sterile aquades and dried. Furthermore, 4 samples were applied 10% polyacrylic acid and 4 samples used cocoa pulp juice, left for 20 seconds, irrigated, dried, and put in the oven for 2x24 hours. The samples were examined for their cavity cleanliness score using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) photo with 2000x of magnification. Result: both groups have the same score and statistical test shows that there is no significant difference between them. Conclusion: the 100% cocoa pulp juice was able to clean the smear layer of crown dentin and its ability equal to 10% polyacrylic acid.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the advantages and disadvantages of patients undergoing either immediate or delayed breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Methods: This review was compiled using information from numerous web databases. Scientific articles were selected based on the inclusion criteria. Data were collected, organized, and summarized. Results: Mastectomy or breast removal is frequently performed as part of breast cancer treatment. Psychological issues following a mastectomy may get better for some patients after breast reconstruction. The most common type is immediate reconstruction, which preferably uses a nipple-sparing or skin-sparing mastectomy and implant-based reconstruction (but can also be autologous reconstruction). Delayed reconstruction is often performed using autologous tissue flaps or implant-based using either the definitive implant or temporary expanders. Conclusion: Immediate reconstruction creates better cosmetic outcomes, shorter overall costs, quicker recovery, higher quality of life, and increases the psychological well-being of patients. Besides, delayed reconstruction is a beneficial option for post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) cases and reduced the incidence of postoperative complications than immediate reconstruction.

Beaked whale strandings on the coast of Australia in comparison to those of other cetaceans
Authors: Hamilton L. J. , Lindsay K.
Published: February 2023

Beaked whale (Ziphiidae) strandings on the coast of Australia are examined in comparison to five other odontocete (toothed whale) species and two mysticetes (baleen whales) representative of non-Ziphiids found stranded in Australian waters. Ninety percent of reported beaked whale strandings involve a single animal. Seven beaked whale stranding events of three or more individuals have been recorded from 1871 to 2010, with a maximum in any event of 6. The five non-Ziphiid odontocetes had maximum numbers in a stranding of 13, 51, 65, 200, and 250, and a combined total of 66 events with 10+ in a stranding. The mysticetes had almost exclusively single strandings. Similar trends for the Ziphiids and other cetaceans are generally observed worldwide, although larger numbers of Ziphiids have stranded elsewhere. Continental scale geographical stranding patterns are similar for the Ziphiids, the five non-Ziphiid odontocetes, and the two mysticetes, although not for the same reasons. Reported strandings predominantly occurred around the southern half of Australia south of 20°S. On average around three times as many beaked whale stranding events per month occurred for the period January to April than for July to December. The monthly trend for beaked whale strandings follows the seasonal cycle of sea temperatures, indicating a relation to oceanic phenomena, rather than to the often invoked effect of increased observer effort in months with warmer air temperatures. Some single and dual beaked whale strandings which include a female may be related to use of shallow sheltered waters for calving and subsequent resting.

In this paper the occurrence, distribution and abundance of cetaceans in offshore waters of Onslow Bay, North Carolina, USA is described. Between June 2007 and June 2010 monthly aerial and shipboard line-transect surveys were conducted along ten 74km transects placed perpendicular to the shelf break. In total 42,676km of aerial trackline (218 sightings) and 5,209km of vessel trackline (100 sightings) were observed. Seven species of cetaceans were observed, but the fauna was dominated strongly by common bottlenose and Atlantic spotted dolphins. Both species were present year-round in the study area. Using photo-identification techniques, five bottlenose dolphins and one spotted dolphin were resighted during the three-year period. In general, the abundance of cetaceans in Onslow Bay was low and too few sightings were made to estimate monthly abundances for species other than bottlenose and spotted dolphins. Maximum monthly abundances of bottlenose and spotted dolphins were 4,100 (95% CI: 1,300–9,400) in May 2010 and 6,000 (95% CI: 2,500–17,400) in March 2009, respectively. Bottlenose dolphins were found throughout the study area, although they were encountered most frequently just off the shelf break. In contrast, spotted dolphins exhibited a strong preference for waters over the continental shelf and were not encountered beyond the shelf break.
Review of the Sri Lanka blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) with observations on its distribution in the shipping lane

Published: February 2023

A population of blue whales is resident off the southern coast of Sri Lanka and has been observed year-round by the crew of a whalewatching vessel, Raja & the Whales, a few miles south of Mirissa Harbour. Over the course of three years (1 December 2009 to 30 November 2012), a total of 485 blue whale sightings were reported with an average of 4.56 individuals observed per sighting. This number does not represent the total number of individuals seen because repeat sightings were highly probable. Calves were observed during the northeast monsoon. Sightings were confined to an area of about 200 n.miles that is bisected by a heavily trafficked shipping lane. Much of this area is characterised by submarine canyons and sloping bathymetry, which contributes to monsoonal seasons of high productivity and upwelling suitable for feeding whales. While the numbers of injuries and fatalities due to ship strikes are not known, four dead blue whales were observed along the southern coast over the course of five months (1 January to 31 May 2014). It is of great urgency to understand the identity and size of this population, reduce ship strikes and address all issues threatening this population in order to arrive at possible mitigation measures for its protection.
How may an annual removal of humpback whales from Godthaabsfjord, West Greenland, affect the within-fjord sighting rate?
Authors: Boye Tenna Kragh , Simon Malene , Witting Lars
Published: February 2023

Photo-identifications of humpback whales in the Godthaabsfjord area were collected from 2007 to 2012 and divided into individuals and number of sightings per individual. Monte Carlo simulations were performed on the sighting distributions of individual humpback whales to investigate the potential impact that local removals (e.g. ship strikes, subsistence hunt) could have on the sighting rate of humpback whales in Godthaabsfjord. Half of the sightings were based on the same six individuals during the six year period. Sighting rate was likely to drop regardless of when (spring, summer or autumn) an individual was removed due to the large degree of site fidelity of several humpback whales in Godthaabsfjord. Removals could affect the whalewatching industry in Godthaabsfjord where humpback whales constitute a key species. The least impact may be achieved by conducting the hunt outside the fjord system or minimising summer or autumn hunts within the fjord, as spring removals tend to have the least effect on summer sighting rates.
A characterisation of common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) interactions with the commercial shrimp trawl fishery of South Carolina, USA
Authors: Greenman Justin T. , Mcfee Wayne E.
Published: February 2023

In the United States, interactions between the shrimp trawl fishery and bottlenose dolphins are known to exist; however, the level of mortality is largely unknown, and has not been studied in South Carolina, USA. The current study attempted to determine if interactions between bottlenose dolphins and the South Carolina commercial shrimp trawl fishery pose a significant threat to dolphin populations and if fishery related mortality is underreported. Onboard observations were made during a 25 day (August–December 2010) field study. No dolphin takes occurred during the observational period. These observations focused on direct physical interactions with the gear and depredation behaviours. Additionally, a subsample of the shrimp fishery in South Carolina was asked to participate in a mailed survey. The survey included questions related to gear, dolphin observations, and the status of the shrimp fishery. This paper also examines historical dolphin stranding data from the NOAA/CCEHBR MMIS database for signs of shrimp fishery interactions. A three-tiered flow diagram was developed to characterise each stranding case according to the likelihood that mortality resulted from trawler interaction. Field results point to significant dolphin presence around commercial trawlers (x2 = 23.406, p < 0.001). Survey results showed 12 unreported incidents of shrimp trawl fishery mortality of dolphins. Finally, stranding records revealed several more cases with signs of possible trawler interaction. The current US National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA) designation of the fishery as a Category II fishery is correct. Increased observer coverage and improved communication with the fishery on the importance of reporting takes is warranted.
Validation of the use of firearms for euthanising stranded cetaceans

Published: February 2023

Efforts to euthanise stranded cetaceans remain highly variable in their outcomes, with few field tested operational procedures available. This study sought to validate the efficacy of using modern firearms technology to euthanise small (<6m length) stranded cetaceans. Post-mortem evidence was gathered from the standardised shooting of cetacean cadavers (n = 10), representing six species, using .30 caliber (7.62mm) firearms and blunt solid copper-alloy non-deforming projectiles, in southwestern Australia. The six species studied were Risso’s dolphin, common dolphin, bottlenosed dolphin, pygmy sperm whale, Cuvier’s beaked whale, and humpback whale. Post-mortem data revealed that 100% of bullet wound tracts fully penetrated the skulls of shot animals, with associated indirect skull fracturing, secondary bone missiles and brain parenchyma laceration. The results suggest that appropriate firearms technology is fully capable of inducing instantaneous fatal pathology to the central nervous system of these species. In comparison to alternative methods for the euthanasia of stranded cetaceans, the use of firearms is associated with superior animal welfare outcomes, public safety levels and accessibility. This paper provides a template for the safe, humane and repeatable use of this technique to euthanise <6m length stranded cetaceans.

In understanding the impact of commercial whaling, it is important to estimate the mixing of low latitude breeding populations on Antarctic feeding grounds, particularly the endangered humpback whale populations of Oceania. This paper estimates the degree of genetic differentiation among the putative populations of Oceania (New Caledonia, Tonga, the Cook Islands and French Polynesia) and Australia (western Australia and eastern Australia) using ten microsatellite loci and mtDNA, assesses the power of the data for a mixed-stock analysis, determines ways to improve statistical power for future studies and estimates the population composition of Antarctic samples collected in 2010 south of New Zealand and eastern Australia. A large proportion of individuals could not be assigned to a population of origin (> 52%) using a posterior probability threshold of > 0.90. The mixed-stock analysis simulations however, produced accurate results with humpback whales reapportioned to their population of origin above the 90% threshold for western Australia, New Caledonia and Oceania grouped using a combined mtDNA and microsatellite dataset. Removing the Cook Islands, considered a transient region for humpback whales, from the simulation analysis increased the ability to reapportion Tonga from 86% to 89% and French Polynesia from 89% to 92%. Breeding ground sample size was found to be a factor influencing the accuracy of population reapportionment whereas increasing the mixture or feeding ground sample size improved the precision of results. The mixed-stock analysis of our Antarctic samples revealed substantial contributions from both eastern Australia (53.2%, 6.8% SE) and New Caledonia (43.7%, 5.5% SE) [with Oceania contributing 46.8% (5.9% SE)] but not western Australia. Despite the need for more samples to improve estimates of population allocation, our study strengthens the emerging genetic and non-genetic evidence that Antarctic waters south of New Zealand and eastern Australia are used by humpback whales from both eastern Australia and the more vulnerable breeding population of New Caledonia, representing Oceania.
The relation of coastal geomorphology to larger mass strandings of odontocetes around Australia
Authors: Hamilton L. J. , Lindsay K.
Published: February 2023

Sites of larger live mass strandings (10 to 250 individuals) for five selected odontocete (toothed whale) species around Australia are examined to see if they have any characteristics or properties which might be related to the strandings. Bays are the significant coastal unit in the 66 events reported over a 100 year period; only three events were not within bays but on open sandy coastlines. Species, species adult size and bay size do not appear to be factors in these larger stranding events. The reason for the association of bays with larger mass strandings is not obvious. Many of the bays have simple planform and uncomplicated bathymetry. However, they share some properties previously associated with strandings that are a consequence of the processes of bay formation. Coastal locations other than particular types of bays do not necessarily have all of these properties, potentially explaining why these bays dominate the Australian mass stranding record. A chain of geomorphological, physical, and biological factors can be constructed to explain the role of the bays in mass strandings. Regardless of this possible explanation, there is an observed correlation of particular site properties with larger live mass strandings about Australia which might be expected to have predictive power in indicating potential mass stranding sites. This is particularly apparent when key properties of stranding sites are defined and compared in terms of simple quantitative thresholds. The sites of herd strandings around New Zealand generally exhibit the expected properties.

В данной статье рассматриваются основные линии изучения математики: числовая линия, алгебраическая линия, функциональная линия, логическая линия, линия анализа данных. Последовательное расширение понятия числа, которое позволяет обучающимся освоить базисные основы алгебры, сформировать высокую культуру межличностного и межэтнического общения, самоопределение личности и профессиональную ориентацию. Одной из основных, стержневых, линией школьного курса математики является числовая линия. На понятии числа строится изучение функций, тождественных преобразований, уравнений, неравенств и др. Понятие числа вводится в начальной школе (натуральные числа и число ноль), затем в курсе математики в 5-8 классах понятие числа расширяется до рациональных и, наконец, в старших классах углубляется до действительных чисел. С комплексными числами учащиеся имеют дело лишь в классах с углубленным изучением математики, либо уже по вузовской программе. Именно в числовой линии в значительной степени реализуются главные задачи школьного курса математики. Нами проведен анализ школьных учебников на последовательность введения множеств чисел: натуральных, рациональных, целых и действительных. Идет объяснение, с какой целью числовая линия расширяется из класса в класс. Показывается последовательность изложения материала в учебниках, их обоснованность. Рассмотрено основное содержание учебников под авторством А. Е. Абылкасымовой, Т. Алдамуратовой, А. Н. Шыныбекова, Г. Н. Солтана. Также приведена основная документация, на основе которой строится базовое содержание учебников.

Evaluating the product functions and associating them with the manufacturing technique is crucial to reducing the manufacturing cost. Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) is a concurrent engineering technique that plays a vital role in redesigning of existing product or service by reducing its manufacturing and assembly cost and time, have the desired level of quality and reliability. In this research work is apply DFMA on existing hair clipper and decrease the net manufacturing cost of the hair clipper. Hair clipper is very popular for at-home use and is seen as an essential tool in hair grooming. The analysis of design for manufacturing and assembly is done using guideline of Boothroyd Dewhurst DFMA. The components of the Hair clipper were undergone alteration by using DFMA and redesigned approaches. In the same platform, the actual model had the redesign. The assembly time for redesign exhibited an enhancement of 49.25% where the assembly time was decreased from 322.91s to 163.81s and design efficiency was improved 7.219% from 7.432% to 14.651%. Hence, the best design of hair clipper was made which is having optimal value is achieved.

O giro decolonial no Direito Internacional
Authors: Cardoso Squeff Tatiana
Published: February 2023

O presente texto tem como objetivo central estabelecer o ponto de contato entre o pensamento decolonial e o direito internacional. Isso porque, tendo a decolonialidade emergido como contraponto à colonialidade inaugurado na modernidade, o qual elevou o Europeu/Norte Global ao centro do sistema mundial e estabeleceu uma estrutura hierarquizada, opressora e excludente a qual ainda se mantém na atualidade, ele se torna uma base teórica adequada para questionar a opressão existente no campo do Direito Internacional. Afinal, este ramo do Direito, dotado de elementos colonialistas desde a sua origem, passa a ser questionado na atualidade em razão de não apenas não ouvir o Terceiro Mundo, mas também por não responder seus anseios ou por permitir que ele colabore com a formulação de novas regras, como aponta o Movimento Terceiro Mundista de Direito Internacional. Logo, através de uma pesquisa de natureza aplicada, seguindo o método dedutivo de abordagem e a técnica da revisão bibliográfica, busca-se compreender a relação entre eles, concluindo-se, ao cabo, que a decolonialidade, expressada pelas abordagens terceiro-mundistas, é de suma importância para contestar o papel designado ao Sul Global no Direito Internacional.
