Avaliação Discente do Desempenho do Docente da Disciplina de Bases da Técnica Cirúrgica e da Anestesia da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Ceará.
Authors: Guimarães Sérgio Botelho
Published: June 2021

Resumo: Os currículos atuais dos diversos cursos de graduação médica quase nunca valorizam o aperfeiçoamento pedagógico dos seus formandos. A qualificação profissional do professor, o simples conhecimento da matéria que se deve ensinar é apenas uma condição necessária, mas não suficiente, ao desenvolvimento do trabalho pedagógico. O desempenho dos professores da disciplina de Bases da Técnica Cirúrgica e da Anestesia foi avaliado pelos alunos do sexto semestre de graduação da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Ceará, que haviam cursado a disciplina no semestre anterior. Eles responderam um questionário de 15 itens, utilizando uma escala de pontuação que variava de 0 = “não sei” a 5 = “sempre”. O desempenho dos professores (média = 3,289, DP = 0,679) foi considerado, de maneira geral, adequado, principalmente no estímulo ao estudo e preocupação com o aprendizado. A preocupação maior concentrou-se na qualidade e conteúdo das aulas formais e na afeição de conhecimentos. Apesar do elevado percentual de titulação acadêmica stricto sensu, apenas um dos professores tinha formação pedagógica superior. Foi demonstrada preocupação com a qualidade das aulas, a assiduidade e a postura ética, em detrimento de maior atenção ao estudante na sola de aula e fora dela.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the factors associated with the de-hospitalization of children and adolescents with complex chronic condition. Methods: This cross-sectional and retrospective study investigated a sample of children and adolescents admitted to the Dehospitalization Training Unit, from January 2012 to December 2017. Data were collected by consulting medical records and patient record books, from November 2018 to June 2019. The length of stay in the unit, de-hospitalization, readmissions, frequency and cause of death, age, sex, diagnosis, place of residence, number of caregivers and kinship, and use of devices were studied. The chi-square test was used to verify the association between the dependent variable (de-hospitalization) and the independent variables (age, sex, place of residence, use of devices, and clinical diagnosis). Results: A total of 93 patient records were analyzed, 37.6% aged between 7 months and 2 years old, 58.1% boys, 95.7% used tracheostomy, 92.5% gastrostomy, and 71% invasive mechanical ventilation. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy was the diagnosis of 40.3% of the sample. Average hospitalization time was 288 ± 265 days; 60.2% were hospitalized between 31 days and one year, representing 50% of deaths. Of those de-hospitalized, 76.3% were discharged to the Ventilatory Assistance Homecare Program. De-hospitalization was associated with the child or adolescent's place of residence (p=0.027) and use of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (p=0.021). Conclusions: This study identified that de-hospitalization may be associated with the place of residence of the child or adolescent, with the highest number of discharges to the state capital, and non-dehospitalization when using ventricular-peritoneal shunt.
O que dizem os alunos sobre os conflitos decorrentes de sua relação com os professores
Authors: André Ernesto Barros
Published: June 2021

Resumo O presente artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa sobre os conflitos decorrentes da relação professor-aluno, vistos na ótica dos discentes. A mesma foi realizada numa escola secundária de Angola. Nele se pretendeu escrutinar as causas e os tipos de situações resultantes do relacionamento em sala de aula entre o docente e o discente. Na prossecução dos objetivos, aplicou-se a metodologia qualitativa. Foram realizadas entrevistas grupais semiestruturadas com a participação de 129 alunos, cujos dados foram analisados através do método de análise de conteúdo com a aplicação do software maxqda versão 12. Os resultados foram organizados em torno de três temas: concepção de conflitos por parte dos alunos, situações conducentes aos conflitos e/ou situações de conflitos, e tipos de conflitos. Na perspectiva dos alunos daquela escola, a pesquisa demonstrou que os conflitos mais relevantes da relação professor-aluno relacionam-se com o desrespeito das normas ético-deontológicas por parte dos docentes e de manifestação de atitudes e comportamentos indecorosos tanto da parte dos alunos como da parte dos professores consubstanciados no assédio sexual, no suborno e tantos outros, provocando, desta feita, agressões verbais e físicas, vingança, rancor e ódio assim como outros tipos de males que “envenenam” a relação professor-aluno. Sendo um estudo de caso ocorrido num estabelecimento escolar do ensino público, trabalhos semelhantes deverão enfocar em mais centros com o objetivo único de aferir ou comparar os resultados com vistas à sua generalização nessa região.

ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the association between chronotype, general health status and sleep quality in a sample of Spanish nurses. Method An observational study assessing morningness-eveningness predisposition, general health status and quality of sleep was conducted between January and April 2018. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. A linear regression model was carried out to determine the influence of the variables on the morningness-eveningness type. Results Morning-type was associated with aging (β = 0.249, p = 0.005), being married (β = 3.970, p = 0.033), and with a self-assessed low daily sleepiness (β = -0.311, p = 0.152). Good quality of sleep was moderately correlated with high values of general health (r = 0.337) and perceived quality of life (r = 0.426). Conclusion Anomalies of the circadian rhythm together with the features of shift workers may play an important role in predicting self-assessed general health status or the quality of sleep in nurses.
Riesgo de sesgo de publicación en intervenciones terapéuticas para el COVID-19
Authors: Hasdeu Santiago , Tortosa Fernando
Published: June 2021

Las revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis son diseños de investigación secundaria que constituyen una referencia para guiar la toma de decisiones. Ante la pandemia, un gran número de investigaciones se publican a un ritmo acelerado, por lo que diversas organizaciones han propuesto mantenerlas actualizadas a través de “revisiones vivas”. Aun siendo desarrollados con gran rigor metodológico, el sesgo de publicación puede representar una amenaza a su validez.

Se describen las características de los sesgos de publicación, las vías regulatorias para evitarlo y herramientas estadísticas para  sospecharlo.

Se define sesgo de publicación como el hecho de ocultar o retrasar la publicación y/o retener datos surgidos de los estudios de investigación. Hasta la mitad de los ensayos controlados que se realizan permanecen sin publicarse, a causa de diversos intereses. Un ejemplo reciente e impactante fue el acontecido con oseltamivir durante la pandemia H1N1. El ocultamiento y la demora en publicar resultados de estudios financiados por la industria llevó a comprar un medicamento que, luego se supo, no tenía efectos beneficiosos relevantes.

Diversas iniciativas proponen regular la publicación y registro de ensayos clínicos, para reducir este sesgo, y algunas técnicas estadísticas permiten sospecharlo. Se ejemplifica mediante un análisis estadístico de valoración de sesgo de publicación en tres intervenciones terapéuticas relacionadas con COVID-19: corticoides, ivermectina y tocilizumab.
Adapting standard forms of contract to facilitate building information modelling
Authors: Rahman Asaaf , Sainati Tristano
Published: June 2021

The potential benefits of building information modelling (BIM) meant that its adoption rates had increased considerably. However, the adoption rates of BIM have slowed across the construction industry due to the many challenges that prevent its successful implementation on construction projects. Contractual challenges have been identified as one of the largest challenges hindering the widespread implementation of BIM within the industry. Contract-drafting bodies within the UK have released standard forms of contract and protocols to overcome these contractual challenges. However, the use of these contracts and protocols on construction projects is limited. This research shows a contract analysis on the latest versions of the Joint Contracts Tribunal’s Standard Building Contract with Quantities and the Construction Industry Council’s BIM protocol to identify how these contracts and protocols can be used in combination to overcome contractual challenges associated with the implementation of BIM. This research also assesses the gaps within contracts and protocols to explain why their use is so limited. The authors also propose solutions to these gaps to facilitate the contractual implementation of BIM on construction projects.

A dynamic markov regime-switching asymmetric GARCH model and its cumulative impulse response function
Authors: SEMA Gado , Konté Mamadou Abdoulaye , Diongue Abdou Kâ
Published: June 2021

In this paper, we consider the Markov regime-switching GJR-GARCH(1,1) model to capture both the cumulative impulse response and the asymmetry of the dynamic behavior of financial market volatility in stationary and explosive states. The model can capture regime shifts in volatility between two regimes as well as the asymmetric response to negative and positive shocks. A Monte Carlo simulation is conducted to validate the main theory and find that the regime-switching GJR-GARCH model performs better than the standard GJR-GARCH model. Applications to Brazilian stock market data show that the proposed model performs well in terms of cumulative impulse response.

Published: June 2021

Цель – изучить атмосферные выпадения минерального азота (Nмин) в лесах промышленного региона для оценки взаимосвязи между его поступлением, изменением свойств почв и структуры наземной растительности. Материалы и методы. На территории города Ижевск и Завьяловского района Удмуртской Республики были изучены хвойные и лиственные леса (n = 21) на дерново-подзолистой почве. Исследования проводились на основе оценки атмосферных выпадений Nмин методом снегосъемки, опробования почв из гумусо-аккумулятивного горизонта и геоботанического описания растительности. В образцах снега и почв определяли содержание нитратов и аммония. В почве дополнительно определяли содержание общего углерода и азота, Р2О5, Сd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni и рН. Взаимосвязь между изученными параметрами оценивали с помощью анализа главных компонент. Результаты и обсуждение. Атмосферные выпадения Nмин на территории исследования варьировали от 0,15 до 20,6 кг га/год, в которых преобладала аммонийная форма. Анализ главных компонент показал корреляционную взаимосвязь между атмосферным выпадением Nмин, содержание в почве N-NO3, P-P2O5, Сd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni и баллом по экологической шкале обеспеченности почв минеральным азотом Г.

Азот и фосфор в центральной зоне озера Арахлей
Authors: Морозова Марина Олеговна
Published: June 2021

Цель: на основе экспедиционных исследований озера Арахлей показать изменение содержания биогенных элементов (азот и фосфор) с 2017 по 2019 год. Озеро Арахлей расположено в Восточной части Витимского плоскогорья на водоразделе Витим и Селенга в условиях резко континентального климата. Входит в группу озер Ивано-Арахлейской системы. Материалы и методы. При отборе проб и их анализе использовали стандартные гидрохимические методы и ГОСТ. Исследования проводили с использованием спектрофотометра Spekol-1300. Результаты и обсуждение. В сравнении с 2017 и 2019 годами в 2018 году в озере Арахлей произошло повышение концентрации биогенных элементов, что связано с увеличением количества осадков в летнее время. Окисляемость органического вещества в поверхностных водах подвержена значительным и довольно закономерным колебаниям, как в течение года, так и на протяжении нескольких лет. Это определяется изменением во времени и минерализации как аллохтонного, так и автохтонного органического вещества, накопленного в водоеме. Заключение. Увеличение нитрат-ионов, фосфатов и общего фосфора связанно с обильными атмосферными осадками, повлиявшими на увеличение поступления аллохтонного органического вещества. Биогенные элементы, в основном, находятся в пределах нормы ПДКр/х. В процессе исследования было определено, что содержание органического вещества почти не изменилось за весь исследуемый промежуток времени (2017 - 2019 гг.).

Cardiologia 2020. Cosa c’è di nuovo
Authors: Antoncecchi Ettore , Orsini Enrico
Published: June 2021

Il panorama scientifico 2020 è stato dominato dalla pandemia CoViD, che ha quasi del tutto as-sorbito l’interesse e le energie della ricerca, in ogni branca della medicina. La cardiologia non ha fatto eccezioni. Non vi è stata piattaforma web, congres-so o meeting, rivista internazionale o nazionale, che non si sia occupata in larga misura dei rapporti fra CoViD-19 e malattie cardiovascolari. Il risultato è stata la povertà di reali novità nella produzione scientifica in ambito cardiovascolare. Anche l’atte-sissimo progetto ISCHEMIA, pubblicato nel 2020, che peraltro non ha apportato reali novità nel trat-tamento della cardiopatia ischemica cronica, non ha suscitato il dibattito scientifico che sarebbe stato ne-cessario, soffocato purtroppo dalla tragedia CoViD che il mondo ha vissuto in questo anno. Una delle poche eccezioni dell’anno 2020 è stata la inarrestabi-le conferma degli inibitori SGLT2, che hanno ormai travalicato il semplice ruolo di farmaci antidiabetici, per collocarsi a pieno titolo fra gli agenti dotati di uno spiccato ruolo protettivo verso gli outcomes cardiovascolari. Come ogni anno, abbiamo concentrato la nostra attenzione su alcuni temi, che riteniamo particolar-mente significativi per l’interesse dei lettori.

A New Approach to Analysis of the Properties of Disordered Structures in Hydrodynamic Acoustics as Supplement to Technology and Detection Theory
Authors: Starodubtsev Pavel A. , Starodubtsev Evgeny P. , Alifanov Roman N. , Dorofeev Grigory V.
Published: June 2021

The article presents the results of the analysis of the properties of disordered structures in hydrodynamic acoustics, associated with the process of detecting physical phenomena and marine objects based on the results of their mechanical impact on the marine environment, in which acoustic vibrations propagate. If vortices, attractors, fractals arise as a result of complex interactions of forces of nature (upwellings, seiches, Coriolis forces, currents, convection flows, rotation of the Earth) and are essentially mechanical effects on the environment of formation and propagation of an acoustic field, then mechanical sources of sound introduced into the hydrosphere (water) should repeat fractal iterations on a smaller scale at the sound field level. Recognizing the equations of hydrodynamics (the equation of motion, the equation of continuity, and the equation of state) as the fundamental equations of hydroacoustics, the nonlinearity of these equations is proposed to be considered the theory of the hydroacoustic field as nonlinear, and the linearity of the processes in this study is considered a special case. The principle of superposition also becomes a special case, and the Fourier transform, remaining necessary, loses its sufficiency. Fractal analysis in combination with wavelet analysis should be involved to help him
ONLAY VERSUS SUBLAY REPAIR AFTER INCISIONAL HERNIA: WHICH TECHNIQUE TO PREFER?
Authors: Rashaan Mezjda
Published: June 2021

Background  Incisional hernia (IH) is one of the most common complications worldwide after abdominal surgery. For repair of IH, a wide spectrum of surgical techniques is advocated. However, there is no consensus on the ideal technique for mesh location and it remains controversial.  Objectives  This clinical study aimed to compare the postoperative results of onlay mesh repair with sublay (retro-muscular) mesh repair. Methods This retrospective study was conducted in the surgical department of Sulaimani Teaching hospital from January 2010 to February 2014. Follow up period was for 2 years conducted via telephone or at outpatient clinics. All patients underwent preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up with regards to postoperative pain, wound infection, seroma, recurrence rates, and hospital stay. Results A total of 186 patients underwent open mesh repair for incisional hernia of whom 96 cases were operated on by onlay technique and 90 cases by sublay mesh repair. Patients who underwent onlay repair had statistically significant more post-operative complications compared to the sublay group 33 patients (34.4%) vs. 13 patients (14.4%), p< 0.001. In the onlay group, the incidence of recurrence was 13 (13.5%) compared with 3 (3.3%, p= 0.01) in the sublay group. 3 patients (3.3%) in the sublay group had wound infection compared with 10 patients (10.4%, p=0.05) in the onlay group. Patients in the onlay group had statistically significant more moderate pain (VAS 4-6) during hospital admission compared with the sublay group (82 (85.4%) vs. 62 (68.9%), p=0.01). However, patients in the sublay group had statistically more severe pain (VAS 7-10) during hospital admission compared to the onlay (28 (31.1%) vs. 14 (14.6%), p=0.01).  Conclusion Sublay mesh repair is to be preferred to the onlay mesh repair technique because of the statistically significant less postoperative complications such as recurrence and wound infection.

Authors: Hama Nabaz , Arif Huner , Ameen Sirwan
Published: June 2021

Effective treatment of appendicitis requires the identification of the microorganism causing the condition, and the selection of antibiotics the bacterial pathogens are susceptible to. Isolation of 165 potential pathogenic bacteria took place from 50 patients suffering from acute appendicitis, and both the conventional and Vitek 2 compact automated systems were used for identification. In vitro testing of bacterial isolates were used to examine the susceptibility and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of infectious agents to various antibiotics. Escherichia coli (27.27%) was the most prevalent microorganism, followed by Staphylococcus aureus and anaerobic Bacteroides fragilis (7.8%). For E. coli, its susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin Gentamicin, Imipenem, Amoxicillin, and Amoxicillin/Clavulanate acid amounted to 72%, 100%, 100%, 80%, and 76%, respectively. For B. fragilis, its susceptibility to Imipenem, Metronidazole, Cefoxitin, Amoxicillin-Clavulanate, and Piperacillin Tazobactam amounted to 100%, 100%, 100%, 60%, and 80%, respectively. Various bacterial isolates, including E. coli, B. fragilis, and S. aureus were identified as the most prevalent organisms isolated from the sample of acute appendicitis patients. For clinical use, combined Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole administration as prophylactic antibiotics or treatments is recommended to treat acute appendicitis.

Published: June 2021

Quality control technic is an important method of designing a strategic plan for many productive industries. The Shewhart control chart is that it uses only the information observation. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) and Exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) two very effective alternatives to the Shewhart control chart may be used when small process shifts are of interest. This paper discusses data on  failure time of five cement mills in Sulaimani Mass cement factories, used, the reliability methods for analysis the failure time. The quality of the products manufactured in this factory has been estimated according to a quality control process through the use of specific control chart one of the chart Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) chart. Whereas reliability concerns functioning under specified time. So, it can be said that the reliability is a relation between production with expected period time in quality. This study investigates the implementation of reliability and quality control. The findings indicate that factors that affecting the function of mills which will increase the failure rate of mills and lower their life span, through which quality of products will be affected.

Currently, lung cancer is a global problem and public health issue in the world. Chemoradiotherapy remains the optimal method in the treatment of patients with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nowadays, immune response checkpoint inhibitors (monoclonal antibodies) are actively introduced into clinical practice which demonstrated significant improvements in the overall survival for patients with unresectable NSCLC. These drugs block programmed cell death protein (PD‑1) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) that increases regulation on the surface of T-cells and improves the patient's immune system respond to tumor cells. In 2019, durvalumab was introduced into clinical practice for the treatment of patients with unresectable NSCLC (stage III) after chemoradiotherapy. In our study, we’ve summarizes studies investigated the feasibility and safety of radiotherapy with immunotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer.

Published: June 2021

In 2020, the activities of the oncological service of the Russian Federation were complicated by the development of the SARS-CoV‑2 respiratory syndrome, which had a pronounced effect on the health of patients with malignant neoplasms (MN) and contributed to the reorientation of employees of oncological services to ensure a special regime. The vertical line of continuity in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with malignant neoplasms was violated, the timing of treatment was violated. Aspects of the organization of the oncological service of the Magadan region (MagO) in the context of the SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic have been studied.

Purpose of the study. To assess the features cancer detection among the citizens of the Magistral District in 2019-2020.

Materials and methods. The available sources of information (documents of the Ministry of Health of the MagO), databases of the oncological dispensary (IODE), based on information from the state reporting forms – ff. 7 and 30, as well as from Internet resources. Results. MagO region, leading in the rate of morbidity and mortality from malignant neoplasms in the Far Eastern Federal District: incidence of malignant neoplasms for 2009-2019 increased by 23 %. In 2020, the indicator of malignant neoplasm (from 35 % to 25.4 %) decreased in the MAO, and the proportion of patients with malignant neoplasms in localized (III) stages was 50 %. In August 2020, the CAPC began to work, for 5 months. Cancer was detected in 35 people (7.6 %), including in the early (I-II) stages in 18 people, which did not significantly affect the rate of early detection of cancer. Physical examinations revealed 107 cases of malignant neoplasm (a decrease of 27.4 % compared to 2019). In 2019-2020 In the MAO, cancer screening was carried out for a number of nosoologies: as a result, the proportion of patients with lung cancer (MagO – 36 %, RF – 29.4 %) and cervix (MagO – 82 %, RF – 66 %) exceeded the national average.

Conclusion. To increase the detection of malignant neoplasms, it’s necessary to provide examination rooms in the districts of the MagO; drawing up a "map of contamination of the territory"; assessment of the conditions of human production activity and population density; introduction of the standard of examination of patients with cancer; increasing the alertness and qualifications of primary outpatient medical personnel.

In this article we performed publication analysis devoted to pain medicine in oncology during anticancer therapy and in palliative setting. Until recently, the main WHO guidelines for pain management in oncology were the recommendations of 1996, which included only pain relievers, as well as adjuvant and symptomatic drugs, which were applied according to the WHO analgesic ladder. These recommendations were based on the collective expert opinion of leading clinicians and scientists. The new WHO clinical guidelines were published in 2019. They are based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, including modern concepts of the etiology and pathogenesis of tumor pain syndrome. This recommendations contain sections on the analgesic efficacy of radiation therapy and antitumor drug therapy. The new WHO recommendations have not yet been published in Russian and are not sufficiently available for a wide range of oncologists and palliative specialists in our country. The purpose of this publication is to present within one volume a concise but complete and comprehensible discussion of the latest trends in pain therapy in oncology, published by WHO experts.

Small-magnitude earthquakes shed light on the spatial and magnitude distribution of natural seismicity, as well as its rate and occurrence, especially in stable continental regions where natural seismicity remains difficult to explain under slow strain-rate conditions. However, capturing them in catalogs is strongly hindered by signal-to-noise ratio issues, resulting in high rates of false and man-made events also being detected. Accurate and robust discrimination of these events is critical for optimally detecting small earthquakes. This requires uncovering recurrent salient features that can rapidly distinguish first false events from real events, then earthquakes from man-made events (mainly quarry blasts), despite high signal variability and noise content. In this study, we combined the complementary strengths of human and interpretable rule-based machine-learning algorithms for solving this classification problem. We used human expert knowledge to co-create two reliable machine-learning classifiers through human-assisted selection of classification features and review of events with uncertain classifier predictions. The two classifiers are integrated into the SeisComP3 operational monitoring system. The first one discards false events from the set of events obtained with a low short-term average/long-term average threshold; the second one labels the remaining events as either earthquakes or quarry blasts. When run in an operational setting, the first classifier correctly detected more than 99% of false events and just over 93% of earthquakes; the second classifier correctly labeled 95% of quarry blasts and 96% of earthquakes. After a manual review of the second classifier low-confidence outputs, the final catalog contained fewer than 2% of misclassified events. These results confirm that machine learning strengthens the quality of earthquake catalogs and that the performance of machine-learning classifiers can be improved through human expertise. Our study promotes a broader implication of hybrid intelligence monitoring within seismological observatories.

Transaction costs was one of imperfect market characteristic. The transaction costs of soybean farming affected profit level, and profit was one factor of capital formation. This research aimed to analyze the structure and the effect of transaction costs on the profitability and the capital formation of soybean farming. This study applied transaction cost analysis and simultaneous equation as the methods. The respondents were determined using simple random sampling by taking the proportion of 25% for the three selected districts, resulting in 120 respondents. The data were the transaction costs in 2014/2015 and household data from 2012 to 2014, comprising the assets of land, vehicles, farm equipment, crop, and livestock. The results revealed that the transaction costs were IDR 144,120.86. The negotiation costs became the highest cost component (60.30%), followed by information costs (14.07%), coordination costs (12.22%), implementation costs (8.03%), monitoring costs (4.23%) and risk costs (1.15%). Transaction costs had a significant effect on the profitability of soybean farming. The highest percentage of capital formation on soybean farming was for farmland, reaching 40.43%. Other capitals included vehicles (24.59%), plants (19.31%), building (7.37%), and supporting tools (3.09%). Transaction costs did not significantly effect on farming capital formation. As a recommendation, collective action was required, farmers should be active on farmers groups to reduce transaction costs.

The availability of Indonesian potato seed and production of potato for consumption depends on the availability and quality of Generation 0 (G0) potato seed. This study aims to observe G0 potato seed production management in Indonesia. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and survey. Thirty-seven G0 potato seed producers participated in the survey. Data were analyzed descriptively, while the feasibility of the farm budget of G0 potato production was calculated using the enterprise budget method. The results showed that the producers had challenges on capital to broaden the screen house to extend the production scale and limited plantlet availability. Meanwhile, they did not have any problems with other production aspects, such as controlling pests and diseases and the marketing of the G0 seed. Government supports to provide screen houses to fulfil producers' necessity and delegate the legality of potato plantlets are needed to create a better Indonesia's potato seed system.

Background: Unsafe disposal of unused and expired household medicines is a public health problem and mostly occur because of a lack of knowledge towards suitable medicine disposal methods. Thus, we aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices on the disposal methods of unused and expired medicines among students in public academic institutions in Lusaka, Zambia.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which 385 students from three higher learning academic institutions were interviewed face to face using a structured questionnaire from 10th May to 24th June 2019. The cleaned data was then transferred to statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 25.0 for analysis.Results: The mean age of the participants was 23 (SD±2.9). Out of the 385 participants, 215 (55.8%) did not know much about medical waste and 345 (89.6%) of them did not have any previous information regarding proper and safe disposal of unused and expired medicine. However, 351 (91.4%) of the participants appropriately responded that unsafe disposal of unused and expired medicine poses a threat to human health and can harm the environment. Throwing unused and expired medicine in household garbage/bin was the most frequently used disposal practice followed by flushing them in toilet/sink as responded by 231 (60.0%) and 128 (33.3%) of participants respectively. Only 17 (4.42%) reported returning unused and expired medicines to the nearest pharmacy.  Conclusions: The majority of the study participants used unsafe methods to dispose of unused and expired medicine. However, most of the participants acknowledged that unsafe disposal of unused and expired medicines is a public health problem and proposed the need to introduce drug take-back programs in the communities.
