7 Development of a leaflet to teach children to swallow tablets

Aim In paediatric pharmacy a wide range of medications are used, which are often not available in formulations suitable for children. We wanted to design a tool that would enhance our patients’ experience of medication taking as well as improving accessibility to medicines, palatability and ease of administration. Method The European Medicines Agency advises that ‘for chronic diseases, the acceptability of tablets in children may be improved by adequate training’. 1 Among others a study has shown that almost half of two year olds could swallow a 3 mm tablet, increasing to 85% in 5 year olds. 2 A leaflet was suggested as the best way to teach our patients and their parents how to swallow tablets as it could be widely distributed. It was developed with a working group of paediatric clinical psychologists and a paediatric pharmacist. The leaflet aims to be encouraging and provide practical tips and advice. It offers seven different techniques for swallowing tablets which were adapted from web-based advice and previous cases. The leaflet was piloted in a small number of patients and they were given a questionnaire. Results Ten questionnaires were returned, with patients’ ages ranging from 5 to 17. All the patients said that they would now be taking all or some of their medication as tablets. All of the techniques were tried by 2 or more patients and each technique was successful for at least 1 child. The most popular method was the ‘big gulp method’ which worked for 8 patients. This involves swirling the tablet around the mouth for 10 s with as much water as possible and then taking a large gulp until all the water and the tablet have gone. Positive feedback for the leaflet included ‘feels grown up being able to take a tablet’, taking tablets is ‘easier’ and ‘quicker’; one patient wished they had been given the leaflet sooner. Parents also fed back that ‘there was no longer a fight to take medicines’ and ‘it’s much easier for school to manage’. Conclusion The findings have shown that this is a very successful and useful tool. It allows children and their families to take ownership of their medicine taking. To enable more patients to benefit, further engagement from multidisciplinary teams e.g. play specialists, is needed. In the long-term this leaflet could be used to proactively start patients on tablets rather than reactively, creating potential cost savings and a reduction in the use of unlicensed medicines and specials.

Emergence of Zoonotic Myiasis in Vom and Bukuru Metropolis, Jos South LGA, Plateau State, Nigeria

A study was carried out to establish the emergence of cutanous myiasis with its zoonotic implication in Vom andBukuru metropolis of Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State. 6 individuals (3 males and 3 females)who were suspected to have boils on their skin were diagnosed to be 100% infested with the larvae ofCordylobia anthropophaga. Similarly, in an investigation of dogs, out of 510 dogs examined in EvangelicalChurch of West Africa and NVRI Veterinary clinics, 47(9.2%) dogs had larvae in their cutanous tissues. Of 300dogs from ECWA vet clinic 31 (10.3%) were positive, while 16 (7.6%) were positive from 210 dogs screened inNVRI vet clinic. All results were statistically significant at P< 0.05. In comparism, the larvae extracted fromhuman and dogs were all identified to be of Cordylobia anthropophaga. Of 184 Alsatian 13(7.1%) were positive,of 258 Mongrel 27(10.5%) were positive, 3(21.4%) among 14 Doberman were positive and of 54 Rottweiler4(7.4%) were positive. Out of the 47 positive cases, 31(66.0%) were female while 16 (34%) were males. Amongthe female positive cases Mongrel showed a prevalence of 18(58.1%). Infestation in July showed a highoccurrence of 22(46.8%). Secondary bacterial infection was encountered in two cases of human infestation.

Optimal pricing and advertisement with allowable shortages for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflation and trade credit

In recent business transactions, the policy of trade credit is usually used to improve product demand and maximise revenue by earning interest. Furthermore, advertisement is a tool that assists the retailer in attracting more consumers. Moreover, demand for products varies depending on the price and while managing inventory most important thing is product deterioration. The current time value of price is calculated at constant inflation rate. The following points are considered: 1) trade credit policy between supplier and retailer; 2) the product demand depends on sales price and advertisement; 3) the product deterioration is non-instantaneous; 4) the current time value of money is calculated at constant inflation rate, and shortages are allowed. The main aim to find the optimality of total profit function with respect to cycle time inventory vanish time, sales price, and frequency of advertisement. A sensitivity analysis of significant parameters and some important managerial implications are analysed.

Multiple agencies with diverse goals

This chapter charts the relationships between three large areas of background knowledge and professional practice, at the intersection of which everyday work in forensic mental health takes place. We describe the three underpinning models (biomedical, psychological, and sociological) the differences between them in training and in outlook, and the relationship of each to the legal context in which all must operate. Representing different models of human problems and distress, we recognize that sometimes there is friction between them. Their diverse perspectives notwithstanding, these models can be integrated, and they all have an indispensable part to play in how we understand and respond to the difficulties of working with people with mental health problems who also break the law. We illustrate this with reference to how services are delivered, and conclude by discussing the role played by Multi- Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in England and Wales.

Elizabeth Bayley Seton: Collected Writings. Volume I: Correspondence and Journals, 1793–1808 (review)

This collection of letters introduced the present reviewer to an Elizabeth Seton not met in the biographies. The letters are a window into her feelings and, above all, her faith, since letters in this volume come from the years before she became known as Mother Seton, the Foundress of the Sisters of Charity at Emmitsburg. These letters introduce us to Elizabeth Bayley Seton, the young woman of Episcopal faith in the early nineteenth century. For this reason the collection is not only important for an understanding of her organizational abilities, her broad and sensitive relationships, and her faith, but also for the same reasons, they may be valuable to social historians of the era.

Tuk in Barbados : the history, development and recontextualisation of a musical genre

This thesis is the first major investigation of tuk and documents an important part of Barbados' heritage. It also opens up opportunities for further research to be undertaken in Barbadian music and in related fields elsewhere in the Caribbean region.&#13;\n&#13;\nThis thesis explores the history, development and recontextualisation of Barbadian tuk music. The history of Barbados is examined before considering Barbadian culture and how a Barbadian national identity was increasingly sought during the twentieth century, particularly after Independence. Music during the period of slavery, African music and British military music, the major influences on tuk, are explored before a study of the instruments, rhythms and repertoire of tuk. Types of tuk, and tuk-type musics elsewhere are examined and tuk is compared with other musics. Modern tuk musicians, their treatment of tuk, and how tuk has been, and continues to be, recontextualised is explored.&#13;\n&#13;\nThe history, organisation and roles of the Barbados Landship, an organisation modelled on the British Royal Navy, but which never goes to sea, are considered together with the Landship's relationship with the tuk band. Finally, an overview of music and festivals in Barbados today places tuk in the country's musical scene.&#13;\n&#13;\nThis thesis argues that tuk is predominantly a music that originated from imitating European military fife and drum bands, and that the African elements of it are to be found in rhythmic improvisation and some African retentions that have direct parallels with military fife and drum bands. It also argues that tuk exhibits characteristics similar to musics found elsewhere that can be attributed to the effects of the slave trade, colonialism and migration. In addition, the thesis argues that the Landship's relationship with the tuk band is a continuation of a naval tradition.

Functional Motivations of Interpretive Volunteers at Como Park Zoo and Conservatory

Interpretation is an important part of education at zoos and aquariums, and volunteers are frequently a part of those interpretive programs. Understanding the motivations of those volunteers helps to increase volunteer retention, decreasing time spent on recruitment and training. The functional approach to volunteer motivation examines volunteer motivation by looking at what function volunteering plays in a person’s life. These functions include values, understanding, enhancement, protective, career, and social motivations. These functions can be assessed by the Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI), as developed by Clary, Snyder, Ridge, Copeland, Stukas, Haugen, &amp; Meine (1998). This study uses the VFI to assess motivation among interpretive volunteers at Como Park Zoo and Conservatory. Quantitative analysis of the VFI results comparing functional motivations across demographics shows that there is a negative correlation between age and Career factor, a negative correlation between length of volunteer service and Career factor, and a positive correlation between number of areas trained to interpret and Protective factor. Understanding differences between the motivations of different demographics may inform volunteer training and support.

Performance and vulnerability of non-profit organization in Taiwan &amp;#x2014; Sampling in private universities

This study examined both performance and prediction of financial vulnerability as dual ways in evaluating the nonprofit organization (NPO) of private universities in Taiwan. Applying fiscal performance (Carbone & Winston, 2004), and four financial distress indicators (Trussel, 2002), obtained 2004-2006, some schools showed declining yearly savings obviously, and the four indicators predicting the financial vulnerability of higher educational organizations. Trussel (2002) found the model using the four indicators in predicting financial vulnerability of charitable organizations, and we followed his model and applied to the private universities and colleges in Taiwan, found that debt ratio, revenue concentration, and yearly saving are significantly associated with the financial vulnerability, but insignificantly with size.

Implementation and Application of a Method for Measuring Traction Forces to Characterize Deficient CNP Signaling in Mouse Fibroblasts

Adherent cells respond to changes in their microenvironment by generating internal forces that are transferred to the substrate to which they are attached. Manipulation of cellular signaling pathways also influences the response to these changes and can direct cells to pathological outcomes. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), through the NPR-B receptor, has been shown to protect quiescent fibroblasts in heart valves from differentiating into myofibroblasts that contribute to development of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Here, I implemented and validated a method for quantifying cellular traction forces

Cigarette-Smoking Intensity and Interferon-Gamma Release Assay Conversion among Persons Who Inject Drugs: A Cohort Study

We analyzed data from a longitudinal cohort study of persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Tijuana, Mexico, to explore whether cigarette smoking increases the risk of interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) conversion. PWID were recruited using respondent driven sampling (RDS). QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT) assay conversion was defined as interferon-gamma concentrations &lt;0.35 IU/mL at baseline and ≥0.7 IU/mL at 18 months. We used multivariable Poisson regression adjusted for RDS weights to estimate risk ratios (RRs). Of 129 eligible participants, 125 (96.9%) smoked at least one cigarette during followup with a median of 11 cigarettes smoked daily, and 52 (40.3%) had QFT conversion. In bivariate analysis, QFT conversion was not associated with the number of cigarettes smoked daily (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mi>P</mml:mi><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mn>0.716</mml:mn></mml:math>). Controlling for age, gender, education, and alcohol use, the RRs of QFT conversion for smoking 6–10, 11–15, and ≥16 cigarettes daily compared to smoking 0–5 cigarettes daily were 0.9 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.5–1.6), 0.5 (95% CI, 0.3–1.2), and 0.7 (95% CI, 0.3–1.6), respectively. Although this study did not find an association between self-reported smoking intensity and QFT conversion, it was not powered sufficiently to negate such an association. Larger longitudinal studies are needed to fully explore this relationship.

A Single-Inductor Multi-Input Multilevel High Step-Up DC–DC Converter Based on Switched-Diode-Capacitor Cells for PV Applications

This article presents a single-inductor multi-input multilevel high gain dc–dc converter, which is suitable for exploiting arbitrary number of PV arrays to provide fixed voltage levels for multilevel inverters. The converter is capable of transferring power from each input to the output, at the same time. Additionally, the proposed structure provides outputs with same voltage levels that makes it appropriate for connecting to multilevel inverters. Due to the deployment of diode-capacitor cells, which have been extended from both nodes of the central capacitor, the output voltage ripple has been decreased, which leads to the employment of capacitors with smaller size. Also, the number of inputs and outputs can be chosen arbitrarily. In addition, because of the utilizing only one inductor, the cost, and total size of the converter has been reduced. The control approach of the converter is pulsewidth modulation and all switches can be turned <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">on</small> or <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">off</small> , simultaneously. The theoretical analysis and gain calculations of the converter has been investigated in this article. In order to design the converter, the voltage ripple across each capacitor has been calculated. Furthermore, a comprehensive comparison has been performed between the proposed converter and counterparts. Finally, a dual-input three-level prototype of the proposed converter with 300 W output power has been implemented to confirm the validity of the converter's performance.

Attacks on time-of-flight distance bounding channels

Cryptographic distance-bounding protocols verify the proximity of two parties by timing a challenge-response exchange. Such protocols rely on the underlying communication channel for accurate and fraud-resistant round- trip-time measurements, therefore the channel's exact timing properties and low-level implementation details become security critical. We practically implement 'late-commit' attacks, against two commercial radio receivers used in RFID and sensor networks, that exploit the latency in the modulation and decoding stages. These allow the attacker to extend the distance to the verifier by several kilometers. We also discuss how 'overclocking' a receiver can make a prover respond early. We practically implement this attack against an ISO 14443A RFID token and manage to get a response 10 µs earlier than normal. We conclude that conventional RF channels can be problematic for secure distance-bounding implementations and discuss the merits and weaknesses of special distance-bounding channels that have been proposed for RFID applications.

CREDIT MARKET IMPERFECTIONS AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF POLICY RENTS: THE COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY IN THE NEW EU MEMBER STATES

This article analyses how credit market imperfections affect the impacts of subsidies by analyzing the effects of agricultural subsidies in the new Eastern Member States of the European Union with a partial equilibrium model which integrates credit and land market imperfections. We show that credit constraints have important implications for the distribution of policy rents. Credit market imperfections may induce very different effects of direct payments and lump-sum transfers.

Romantic collaboration: Familial authorship from Barbauld to Shelley

This dissertation proceeds from the realization that familial models of cooperative authorship dominated collaborative writing from 1770–1820 Twin influences enabled the emergence of such models of collaborative authorship: the rise of the family as affective unit and the Dissenting model of domestic education. Customarily received as Romanticism's primary model of collaboration, the competitive example of Wordsworth and Coleridge finds itself displaced to the periphery by familial models of authorship, which practiced far greater egalitarianism. Chapter 1 establishes the Aikins of Warrington as England's first literary family and proceeds to demonstrate how John Aikin and Anna Letitia Barbauld (née Aikin) developed a writing partnership whose Dissenting politics emerged in what I call a “collaborative consciousness” aimed at political and social reform. The Aikin-Barbauld model of collaborative authorship provides a context in which to understand the aspirations of other writers such as Dorothy and William Wordsworth. Through examples like that of Aikin and Barbauld this inquiry exposes the contrast between writing attuned to the literary marketplace and that primarily influenced by, and therefore constitutive of, affective bonds. Chapter 2 demonstrates the creative effects of such intimate bonds by following the Wordsworths during a particularly fruitful year, 1802; I argue that Dorothy Wordsworth had a much more active role in the conceptualization, revision, and indeed writing of Wordsworth's poems than has heretofore been conceived. Moving from relationships inside the household to those of the family as a whole, Chapter 3 develops a term from Naomi Tadmor to elucidate the “incorporation” of the literary family: the establishment of kinship networks that supported literary production. This study concludes by considering literary families from an inter-generational perspective. The Shelleys represent a literary partnership influenced by what I call the “genius familiae”—the spirit of the (literary) family—that emerges throughout their writing and extends the Godwin-Wollstonecraft legacy. Chapter 4 contrasts the Shelleys' model of inter-generational continuity with the antagonism exhibited by early Romantics, especially Southey, Coleridge, and Lamb, toward the previous generation as represented by the Aikin family and Anna Barbauld.
