O objetivo deste trabalho é apreender o processo de construção de masculinidades proposto no projeto Sem Capa. Na plataforma pornográfica Xvideos, a iniciativa audiovisual tem 24 episódios desenvolvidos sob a intenção de “descomplicar o sexo”. A partir da mobilização de estudos das masculinidades, notamos a presença de elementos pedagógicos que interagem nas tramas discursivas da plataforma, entre usuários e idealizadores. A reflexão com o Sem Capa evidenciou que os criadores do projeto participam desse processo quando apresentam as experiências sexuais e dizem como ser homem gay. Lança-se, assim, uma economia desejante peculiar ao participar do estabelecimento de formas possíveis de subjetividades e identidades.
Public Procurement Employees' Perception on Legal Changes, Perceived Red Tape and Job Stress: Evidence from Serbia
Authors: Jovanović Predrag , Ivanović Tatjana , Maričić Milica , Ivančević Sonja
Published: December 2022

Public servants play an important role as guardians, guarantors, and promoters of the regime values who are in frequent contact with the citizens. Having that in mind, it is of high importance to understand their behaviour and attitudes on legal changes, perceived red tape and job stress. The aim of this paper is, therefore, twofold: firstly, to explore the influence of red tape and perceived red tape on public procurement officers’ (PPOs) and managers’ (PPMs) perception of the new Public Procurement Law in terms of its benefits to public procurement process and to their jobs and job stress, and secondly, to explore the differences between PPOs and PPMs regarding the examined statements. To answer the first question, we proposed a conceptual model which was tested using structural equation modelling (SEM), while to answer the second question we used the Mann-Whitney test. Both analyses were done using the data collected from 115 PPOs and PPMs in Serbia. The results show that PPOs and PPMs share similar attitudes regarding the existence of red tape, perceived job stress, and the influence they expect the new legislation will have on their jobs. Their expectations of the new legislation as well as their perception of job stress are found to be partially influenced by red tape. As PPOs are not that convinced that the new law will improve their job, it may be concluded that the changes the new law will bring are not substantial enough.

Authors: Burca Valentin , Popa Adriana Florina , Sahlian Daniela Nicoleta , Trasca Daniela Livia , Bobitan Nicolae
Published: December 2022

In the last decades, numerous financial scandals were reported, many related to earnings manipulation and fraud financial reporting. Analytical models were designed and estimation techniques were improved. However, current design of those models suffers from some limitations. The objective of our study is to bring improvements to the analytical models of detection of potential fraudulent financial reporting practices. Therefore, we separately evaluate the impact of real activities earnings management and innate accruals component on the probability of potential fraudulent financial reporting. The empirical analysis is made on a sample of firms with headquarters in G7 countries and the research methodology consists of time series analysis. The results show that, on a long term, the F score is negatively affected by real earnings management activities. Instead, the innate component of accruals seems to reverse over time, having no significant impact in the long run on the probability of fraudulent financial reporting.

Authors: Schütt Svenja Christina
Published: December 2022

Substantial processes of demographic and social change are increasingly altering social relations between generations. In volunteer work and paid work, extra-familial contact between generations is taking place and is demanded under the guiding principle of age diversity. In this book, a series of empirical studies examines how focused extra-familial exchange between generations should be designed, what psychological potential it offers, and which role intergenerational learning assumes in this context. It is shown that intergenerational exchange in both volunteer work and paid work can, among other things, strengthen intergenerational cohesion in society.
A positive psychology perspective on pre-deployment fitness-for-duty evaluations for external deployments: A proposition for the South African National Defence Force
Authors: Bester Piet
Published: December 2022

The aim of this article is to introduce the reader to a psychological well-being orientation for soldiers in pre-deployment fitness-for-duty evaluations by screening for psychological risk rather than pathology. The aim is reached by firstly discussing the existing process of pre-deployment fitness-for-duty evaluations, then conceptualising the assessment for psychological risk rather than psychopathology only, followed by linking pre-deployment assessment of fitness-for-duty evaluations to the positive psychology paradigm and proposing an integrative military model for soldiers’ psychological well-being in the external deployment context. The discussion is concluded by recommendations for military decision-makers to consider this approach of psychological risk assessment as a feasible process.

Published: December 2022

: The discovery of novel anti-cancer agents from natural resources is highly necessary. Concerning the above problem, the purpose of this study was to discover an anti-cancer compound from Caspian cobra venom. Fractionation of Caspian cobra venom was performed by gel filtration and IEX chromatography. The results showed an anti-cancer protein nominated as Oxilipin. Activity and toxicity of Oxilipin were studied on the colon SW480 cancer cell line using MTT, LDH release, PI staining, morphological cell analysis, hemolysis, and anti-proliferation assays. Oxilipin, an 11kDa protein purified from the venom of the Caspian cobra. LC/MS/MS analysis of obtained protein showed homology with Phospholipase A2 from ‎Naja naja oxiana. 40 µg/ml of Oxilipin can induce an apoptotic effect in SW480 cell line up to 90%; meanwhile, this amount can induce only one-third of cytotoxicity on a normal cell. In this study, Iranian cobra venom was found to have cytotoxic effects on SW480 colon cancer tumor cells, with the least cytotoxicity on normal cells on HEK-293. Given that Oxilipin has slight toxicity on normal cells, it can be hypothesized that the obtained peptide can be considered as a drug lead in an animal model study of colon cancer.

Published: December 2022

Background: Respiratory failure caused by pneumonia is the leading cause of death in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients; furthermore, anxiety and depression caused by this disease and its complications, as the most common psychological disorders might harm the mental health of COVID-19 patients. Objectives: This study aimed to look into the effect of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (HBPR) program on anxiety and depression in COVID-19 patients (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 70 COVID-19 patients in Kerman, Iran, in 2021, randomly allocated into 2 equal groups of control (n = 35) and intervention (n = 35). In the control group, the patients received only routine post-discharge care, and in the intervention group, the patients received HBPR procedures based on the “Guide to Restoring Movement COVID-19 Protocol” by John Hopkins University, the United States, that teaches to patients after discharge. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to determine anxiety and depression status and scores before and after 4-week procedures. Additionally, the chi-square, Fisher’s exact, and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare anxiety and depression status and scores between the 2 groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The median score of anxiety (5 vs. 14, P < 0.0001) and depression (6 vs. 10, P < 0.0001), 4 weeks after discharge from the hospital in the intervention group, was significantly lower than in the control group based on the Mann-Whitney U test (P < 0.0001). Conclusions: This rehabilitation procedure is effective in the reduction of anxiety and depression in COVID-19 patients and their pulmonary status. Therefore, it can be used as a treatment procedure for mental recovery in these patients.

Nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 (NPR1) could be found in the regulationof pathways of salicylic acid (SA) signal transduction and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants. It has been found that the members of NPR-like gene family are interconnectingwith biotic and abiotic stresses in several plants, but it has not yet been performed in common bean. In this study, in silicoanalyzes of Phaseolus vulgaris L. NPR-likegene family members were performed at the genome level. As a result of these in silico analyzes, four NPR1genes were identified and it was found that these genes have been located on four different P. vulgarischromosomes. The length of PvNPR-like proteins ranges from 475-590 amino acid residues. The theoretical isoelectric point (pI) range were found between 5.75-6.36 and all show acidic properties. As a result of phylogenetic analyzes performed between NPR-like genes of P. vulgaris, Glycine max(L.) Merr and Arabidopsis thaliana(L.) Heynh. plants, NPR-likegenes were found to be divided into three different groups (A, B and C). It has been determined that PvNPR-likegenes contain cis-actingelements that function in many biological processes, including stress and hormone responses. Differences in gene expression levels under salt and drought stress indicated that PvNPR-likegenes respond differently under stress conditions. The outcomes of this studywill supply the needed basics for understanding the function and evolutionary history of PvNPR-like genes.

Authors:   Advisor in Pediatrics and Pediatric Psychiatry Children Teaching Hospital of Baghdad Medical City Head, Iraq Headquarter of Copernicus Scientists International Panel Baghdad, Iraq., Al-Mosawi Aamir Jalal
Published: December 2022

Background: Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a rare genetic condition of highly variable phenotype making ranging from classic syndrome with many cardinal features to mild syndrome with less characteristic features. Materials and methods: The mother of a three and half years old boy brought her son to our clinic because of significant developmental delay and over-activity. The mother denied the presence of relevant family history. Results: The boy was mentally retarded and had facial dysmorphic features including thick eyebrows with synophrys, long or smooth philtrum, thin upper lip vermilion, and low set ears. The boy poor adaptive skills and has not achieved urine and bowel control and was unable to hold spoon appropriately to feed himself. He had no speech development and was not saying any word. At the clinic, he was very active, but he was responding to name and had acceptable eye contact and therefore, he was not considered to have autistic features. It was not possible to convince him to take a pen to scribble. Based on our extensive published experiences with treatment of mental retardation syndrome, we recommended an initial therapeutic course which included a course of intramuscular piracetam 600 mg given daily in the morning every third day (Ten doses over one month). Conclusion: An expert therapeutic recommendation for the condition is described.
Pervasiveness of child sexual abuse in Kisii county during the Covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Orucho Justine
Published: December 2022

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is both a social and public health concern locally and globally. A mutual mistaken belief on child sexual abuse is that, it is uncommon occurrence committed against girls by male strangers in both rural and urban areas in Kenya. Notwithstanding myriad research on CSA, little is known about its Pervasiveness. It occurs at all levels of the society affecting not only girls but also boys. The purpose of this study therefore was to investigate the pervasiveness rate of child sexual abuse among pupils during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 plague is a international historic incident that will remain to affect approximately every facet of ordinary life, including affecting our economic, political, and healthcare eco-systems. The study was informed by the Attachment Theory which suggests that children’s lives are centered initially on their parents, the family environment being their primary agent of socialization. Systematic random sampling was used to select the respondents to ensure that the sample was a representative. The study utilized descriptive survey design. The study population was 700 pupils out of which a sample size of 100 (14 percent) pupils was selected. The study used questionnaires administered to each respondent. The researcher administered the questionnaires individually to all respondents. The study found out that threats from perpetrators were preventing the disclosure of child sexual abuse. The research recommends that research, programs and policies should focus on child protection. The patriarchal narrative of manhood needs to change and boys should read from a different script on their roles and place in the society.
review of techniques for morphological analysis in natural language processing
Authors: Mutwiri George , Mutua Makau , Omamo Amos
Published: December 2022

Natural language is a crucial tool to facilitate communication in our day-to-day activities. This can be achieved either in text or speech forms. Natural language processing (NLP) involves making computers understand and process natural language. NLP has enhanced the way humans interact with computers, from having computers use speech to talk to humans as well as having computers translate human speech. Apart from speech, computers also create and understand sentences in natural language in a process called morphological analysis. Morphological analysis is an important part in natural language processing, being applied as a preprocessing step in most NLP tasks. Morphological analysis consists of four subtasks, that is, lemmatization, part-of-speech (POS) tagging, word segmentation and stemming.  In this paper, we explore in detail each of these tasks of morphological analysis. We then evaluate the techniques used in this NLP field. Finally, we give a summary of the results of each of these techniques.

Antibiotik termasuk dalam salah satu obat yang banyak digunakan di masyarakat karena sangat mudah didapatkan walaupun tanpa menggunakan resep dokter. Penggunaan antibiotik yang berlebihan, tidak tepat, dan tidak perlu mendukung semakin berkembangnya resistensi dan bahkan multipel resistensi bakteri tertentu yang dapat menyebabkan infeksi silang. Dari berbagai studi yang pernah dilakukan di Indonesia terkait pengetahuan antibiotik, masih banyak masyarakat dari berbagai kalangan yang masih belum paham terkait penggunaan antibiotik. Didukung penelitian yang dilakukan Nisak pada tahun 2016 dihasilkan resistensi terhadap antibiotik ampisilin (73%), kotrimoksazol (56%), kloramfenikol (43%), siprofloksasin (22%), dan gentamisin (18%) pada 781 pasien yang terinfeksi bakteri Escherichia coli. Selain itu, dari hasil penelitian pengetahuan penggunaan tentang antibiotik di masyarakat menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 14 responden memiliki pengetahuan yang rendah dan hanya 20 responden yang memiliki pengetahuan yang tinggi terhadap penggunaan antibiotik di kalangan ibu-ibu di daerah Kelurahan Airlangga, Kecamatan Gubeng, Surabaya. Oleh karena itu kami mengadakan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan metode penyuluhan kesehatan tentang penggunaan antibiotik yang tepat.

Student creativity is essential to improve. One thing that affects this is the teacher's professionalism because it is the main factor in the success of student learning so that it produces and develops creativity. This study aims to describe the factors that increase student creativity and teacher efforts to increase student creativity. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The data collection techniques were interviews with the subject teachers and principals, observation, and documentation. Furthermore, the technical data analysis used were data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that in the learning process, the teacher always plays a significant role so that students can develop their creativity. Four roles must be performed by the teacher: the teacher's role as a class manager; the teacher's role as an evaluator; the teacher's role as a facilitator; and the teacher's role as a demonstrator. In the learning process, the teacher always encourages his students. The teacher has also used learning media.
Mobilizing an Institutional Research Enterprise to Support Pandemic Diagnostic Care: Establishing a Clinical Laboratory Volunteer Operation
Authors: Weiss Andy , Laut Clare L. , Antoine-Reid Thessicar , Skaar Eric P. , Schmitz Jonathan E.
Published: December 2022

Context.—

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a worldwide crisis that created unprecedented challenges for the health care system, including diagnostic laboratories that faced an ever-increasing demand for SARS-CoV-2 testing.

Objective.—

To share our experiences mobilizing a large-scale volunteer operation within a diagnostic laboratory in response to the COVID-19 crisis. In particular, during the early stages of the pandemic, research scientists at Vanderbilt University Medical Center were called upon to address challenges put forth by the rapid increase in testing demands. Volunteer scientists became a valuable resource to the clinical laboratory team after stay-at-home orders were in place and rapid diagnostic capabilities for COVID-19 were not yet widespread, thus necessitating significant manual laboratory analysis to support patient care. However, these volunteer efforts were not without challenges, including considerations around the licensure of clinical laboratory workers. Requirements can differ significantly between states and, in our case, were alleviated by an emergency gubernatorial decree.

Data Sources.—

We summarize these experiences here as an operational roadmap for other institutions that wish to leverage biomedical research staff in response to future emergencies. We include recruitment and organizational schemes, as well as results of a survey that details participant experiences and identifies strategies for optimization. Lastly, we present considerations around long-term hosting of clinical laboratory volunteers, beyond just the initial stages of an emergency.

Conclusions.—

Through strategic implementation, scientists can provide diagnostic laboratories with invaluable support in times of need, while maintaining high clinical quality and regulatory compliance.

Para além da cena: humor gráfico, censura e repressão na peça Liberdade, liberdade
Authors: Batista Natália Cristina
Published: December 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o espetáculo Liberdade, liberdade através das relações entre o teatro e humor gráfico durante o contexto ditatorial brasileiro. A peça estreou no Rio de Janeiro em 1965, com autoria de Flávio Rangel e Millôr Fernandes. Ela foi produzida pelo Grupo Opinião e em sua primeira temporada contou com a participação de importantes nomes do cenário artístico cultural brasileiro: Paulo Autran, Nara Leão, Oduvaldo Viana Filho e Tereza Raquel. Durante toda a sua trajetória enfrentou problemas com a censura, as forças paramilitares e o alto escalão do governo ditatorial. O objetivo deste artigo será compreender alguns aspectos do espetáculo através da relação da montagem com o campo do humor gráfico, na própria montagem e na imprensa. A partir da análise da caricatura contida no programa da montagem e de duas charges publicadas nos jornais Correio da Manhã e Última Hora, busca-se demonstrar como cartunistas se apropriaram da peça para tecer contundentes críticas ao regime militar. Através dessas fontes, pretende-se analisar pelo menos três eixos temáticos: i. a utilização do humor como estratégia visual e narrativa; ii. as dificuldades enfrentadas pelo Estado para estabelecer os critérios de censura; iii. a denúncia das ações paramilitares sofridas pela montagem. A hipótese aqui sustentada é que através deste tipo documental será possível investigar o impacto da montagem dentro do campo cultural de resistência ao regime e seus desdobramentos na imprensa e no governo.

Published: December 2022

This paper discusses the digitization of cultural heritage in Russian libraries, archives, and museums. In order to achieve the research goals, both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies were adopted to analyze the current status of legislative principles related to digitization through the literature review and the circumstance of the latest projects related to digitization through the literature and website review. The results showed that these institutions seem quite successful where they provide a wide range of services for the users to access the digital collections. However, the main constraints on digitization within libraries, archives, and museums in Russia are connected with the scale of the work, dispersal of rare books throughout the country, and low level of document usage.
Redes sociales digitales como lugares de memoria

Published: December 2022

El presente trabajo aborda la potencialidad de los social media como espacios de diálogo ciudadano en torno a la memoria y la identidad cultural de los territorios y sus habitantes. Desde la perspectiva de la antropología cultural y los estudios sobre la memoria, se presenta una investigación exploratoria basada en el análisis de contenido de dos grupos de Facebook vinculados a la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias (Colombia), acompañados de entrevistas cualitativas con sus administradores y con historiadores del territorio. Los resultados explican algunos de los factores que contribuyen a la popularidad de estos grupos virtuales, basados en el uso de la fotografía vernácula, y evidencian cómo han llegado a complementar o sustituir funciones que antaño estaban restringidas a las instituciones públicas y académicas, los museos y los archivos. Se concluye que, pese a sus limitaciones, estos grupos, nacidos en un contexto histórico y tecnológico determinado, constituyen importantes lugares virtuales de la memoria.

Background. COVID‐19 disease, a pandemic for more than two years, has major morbidity and mortality related to pulmonary involvement. Chest radiography is the main imaging tool for critically-ill patients. As the availability of arterial blood gas analysis is limited in the Level I and II healthcare centres, major partners in providing healthcare in resource‐limited times, we planned the present study.

Objective. To assess the role of chest radiography in predicting the need for oxygen/ventilator support in critically ill COVID‐19 patients. Methods. This hospital‐based, retrospective study included 135 patients who needed oxygen/ventilator support and had optimal‐quality chest radiographs at admission. All the chest X‐rays were evaluated and a severity score was calculated on a predesigned pro forma. Statistical evaluation of the data obtained was done using appropriate tools and methods.

Results. Males outnumbered females, with a mean age of 54.35 ± 14.49 years. More than 72% of patients included in our study needed ventilator support while the rest needed oxygen support. There was a significant statistical correlation between the chest radiograph severity score and SPO2/PaO2 levels in our study. Using a cut‐off value >8 for the chest radiograph severity score in predicting the need for ventilator support in a Covid‐19 patient, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy was 85.7%, 92.5% and 89.5%, respectively. Conclusions. Chest radiography remains the mainstay of imaging in critically ill COVID‐19 patients when they are on multiple life‐support systems. Though arterial blood gas analysis is the gold standard tool for assessing the need for oxygen/ventilator support in these patients, the severity score obtained from the initial chest radiograph at the time of admission may also be used as a screening tool. Chest radiography may predict the need for oxygen/ventilator support, allowing time for patients to be moved to an appropriate‐level healthcare centre, thus limiting morbidity and mortality.

Published: December 2022

Background. In a previous article on the impact of COVID-19, the authors compared access to routine health services between 2019 and 2020. While differential by province, a number of services provided, as reflected in the District Health Information System (DHIS), were significantly affected by the pandemic. In this article we explore the extent to which the third and fourth waves affected routine services.Objectives. To assess the extent to which waves 3 and 4 of the COVID-19 pandemic affected routine health services in South Africa, and whether there was any recovery in 2021.Methods. Data routinely collected via the DHIS in 2019, 2020 and 2021 were analysed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemicand extent of recovery.Results. While there was recovery in some indicators, such as number of children immunised and HIV tests, in many other areas, including primary healthcare visits, the 2019 numbers have yet to be reached – suggesting a slow recovery and continuing impact of the pandemic.Conclusions. The COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect routine health services in 2021 in a number of areas. There are signs of recovery to 2019 levels in some of the health indicators. However, the impact indicators of maternal and neonatal mortality continued to worsen in 2021, and if interventions are not urgently implemented, the country is unlikely to meet the Sustainable Development Goals targets.

Background. The high HIV prevalence and incidence in South Africa makes it suitable for recruitment of participants for large-scale HIV preventive vaccine trials. However, fear of vaccine-induced seropositivity (VISP) may be a barrier for community acceptability of the trial, for volunteers to participate in HIV preventive vaccine trials and for uptake of an efficacious vaccine. Prior to 2015, when the first phase 1 safety HIV vaccine trial was undertaken at Setshaba Research Centre, Soshanguve, the local community stakeholders and healthcare workers were naive about HIV vaccine research and HIV preventive vaccines.Objective. To explore knowledge and perceptions regarding VISP among community stakeholders and healthcare workers in peri-urbanb Soshanguve, Tshwane.Methods. Using a quantitative-qualitative mixed-methods study design, surveys (n=50) and in-depth interviews (n=18) were conducted during July - August 2015. Participants included community stakeholders, community advisory board members and healthcare workers, who were >18 years old and had attended community educational workshops during September 2014 - May 2015. Audio recordings of interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded using content thematic analysis. Data were further analysed by sex, age and educational level.Results. Of a maximum score of 2 on knowledge on VISP, the 50 survey participants (mean age 33.78 years; 45 females) obtained anaverage of 0.88 (44%). Of 17 in-depth interviewees (one interview could not be transcribed; mean age 30.9 years; 12 females), 8 (47%)displayed some knowledge about VISP, of whom only 5 defined VISP correctly. Women were more knowledgeable about VISP than men; 5 of 12 women (42%) came close to defining VISP correctly, while none of the 5 men did so. The main fear of trial participation expressed by most participants (n=6) was testing HIV-positive as a result of the vaccine. While some participants believed that the community’s perceptions of VISP would negatively affect HIV vaccine trial support and recruitment efforts, others noted that if trial participants understand the concept of VISP and are part of support groups, then they would have the information to combat negative attitudes within their community.Conclusion. Most participants had an inaccurate and incomplete understanding of VISP. Many feared testing HIV-positive at clinics;therefore, education on improving a basic understanding of how vaccines work and why VISP occurs is essential. In addition, assessingparticipant understanding of HIV testing, transmission and VISP is critical for recruitment of participants into HIV vaccine trials and may improve acceptability of an HIV preventive vaccine.

Background. Many patients have their healthcare needs met at primary healthcare (PHC) clinics in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), without having to travel to a hospital. Doctors form part of the teams at many PHC clinics throughout KZN, offering a decentralised medical service in a PHC clinic.Objectives. To assess the benefit of having a medical doctor managing patients with more complex clinical conditions at PHC clinic level in uMgungundlovu District, KZN. Two key questions were researched: (i) were the patients whom the clinic doctors managed of sufficient clinical complexity that they warranted a doctor managing them, rather than a PHC nurse clinician? and (ii) what was the spectrum of medical conditions that the clinic doctors managed?Methods. Doctors collected data at all medical consultations in PHC clinics in uMgungundlovu during February 2020. A single-pagestandardised data tool was used to collect data at every consultation.Results. Thirty-five doctors were working in 45 PHC clinics in February 2020. Twenty-six of the clinic doctors were National HealthInsurance (NHI)-employed. The 35 doctors conducted 7 424 patient consultations in February. Staff in the PHC clinics conducted 143 421 consultations that month, mostly by PHC nurse clinicians. The doctors concluded that 6 947 (93.6%) of the 7 424 doctor consultations were of sufficient complexity as to warrant management by a doctor. The spectrum of medical conditions was as follows: (i) consultations for maternal and child health; n=761 (10.2%); (ii) consultations involving non-communicable diseases (NCDs), n=4 372 (58.9%) – the six most common NCDs were, in order: hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, epilepsy, mental illness and renal disease; (iii) consultations involving communicable diseases constituted 1 745 (23.5%) of cases; and (iv) consultations involving laboratory result interpretation 1 180 (15.9%).Conclusion. This research showed that at a PHC clinic the more complex patient consultations did indeed require the skills and knowledge of a medical doctor managing these patients. These data support the benefit of a doctor working at every PHC clinic: the doctor is a ‘musthave’ member of the PHC clinic team, offering a regular, reliable and predictable medical service.
