Subject Subsets: Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - The genus Toxorhynchites is not indigenous to the islands of the eastern South Pacific, and although there is no record of its having been introduced there, the predacious mosquito T. amboinensis (Doleschall) now occurs regularly in Western Samoa. It is assumed that it has been accidentally introduced from American Samoa, where it was introduced for the biological control of mosquito vectors of bancroftian filariasis [caused by Wuchereria bancrofti]. The distribution of T. amboinensis in Western Samoa is described and discussed, and it is suggested that it has dispersed along the lines of human settlement. The immature stages are most frequently found around homes in tyres, 44-gal drums and other large containers, unlike the situation reported from American Samoa, where breeding is frequent in leaf axils. Breeding in artificial containers in Western Samoa brings T. amboinensis into association with Aedes polynesiensis Marks (the local vector of bancroftian filariasis) and A. aegypti (L.).

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - Since September 1982 there has been a marked increase in the incidence of P. falciparum malaria among American Peace Corps volunteers (PCVs) serving in Zaire. For several years confirmed cases of malaria among the 200-250 PCVs in Zaire were rare (<2 per annum) and were regarded as failures of compliance with chloroquine prophylaxis (300 mg chloroquine base weekly). In late September and early October 1982, four cases of malaria developed among 50 trainees in the Kivu region. All had been in Kivu for 3 months before symptoms developed and had taken the recommended dose of chloroquine weekly. All 4 cases responded to oral chloroquine 1.5 g base over 3 days. Since then an additional 14 cases have been identified in PCVs; all responded to oral chloroquine as above. It is concluded that strains of P. falciparum partly resistant to chloroquine may currently be transmitted in areas of eastern and central Zaire.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology N2 - Five cases of Plasmodium falciparum are reported in American Peace Corps volunteers (PCVs), who had been living in Togo for more than 6 months. None had visited Benin or any other country with recognized chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria. The patients had taken regularly 300 mg chloroquine base/week. Liquid chromatography tests confirmed adequate blood levels of chloroquine and desethylchloroquine for prophylaxis. A total of 11 cases of P. falciparum were diagnosed among 124 PCVs in Togo between January and May 1987 as against none of 117 PCVs in a comparable period in 1986. The possible spread of chloroquine resistance in West Africa is considered.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - The computerized surveillance of Peace Corps volunteers (PCVs) acts as an early warning system to document the spread of resistance, first in expatriates, before widespread occurrence in the indigenous population. The authors report on the emergence of chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria in PCVs in Togo. Between January and May 1987 11 cases of P. falciparum had been diagnosed in 124 PCVs. Assays of chloroquine concentrations, done in 5 cases, revealed adequate compliance with chloroquine (300 mg base/week). Cases from Togo parallel an increased attack rate in neighbouring Benin where 13 cases were diagnosed in 52 PCVs during the same period. Attack rates in other west African countries have remained stable (attack rate of 0.6-0.7%) with no reports of prophylaxis or treatment failures in chloroquine users. Chloroquine prophylaxis and regular use of anti-mosquito barriers remain the mainstay of malaria preventive recommendations. Therapy with pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine is now advised routinely.Penny Phillips-Howard KW - chloroquine KW - malaria KW - prophylaxis KW - resistance KW - Africa KW - Togo KW - ACP Countries KW - Francophone Africa KW - Africa KW - Least Developed Countries KW - Developing Countries KW - West Africa KW - Africa South of Sahara KW - US Peace Corps volunteers KW - Parasites, Vectors, Pathogens and Biogenic Diseases of Humans (VV200) (Discontinued March 2000) KW - Pathogen, Pest, Parasite and Weed Management (General) (HH000) UR - https://auth.lib.unc.edu/ezproxy_auth.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=lhh&AN=19882052219&site=ehost-live&scope=site DP - EBSCOhost DB - lhh ER - TY - GEN T1 - Helminthic infections among Peace Corps volunteers in Nepal.

Subject Subsets: Helminthology N2 - Stool samples from 209 Peace Corps volunteers in Nepal were examined over the period February 1986 to December 1987. Twenty-nine (14%) were positive for Ascaris, 6 (3%) for Trichuris and 4 (2%) for hookworm. The average number of days in the country prior to finding a stool sample positive for Ascaris was 568 days (range, 123 to 1169 days). For hookworm, the average was 548 days (range, 283 to 793 days) and for Trichuris, 749 days (range, 494 to 1172 days). It is concluded that helminthic infection seems to be of low prevalance in volunteers who reside in Nepal, and that routine anthelmintic treatment is not necessary.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases N2 - A measles outbreak occurred in 3 villages of Nuwakot District, Nepal, from November 1992 to April 1993. One hundred and twenty six cases (attack rate: 33.9%) and 3 deaths (case fatality rate: 2.4) were reported. Two-thirds of the cases occurred in children 5-14 years of age, and the highest age-specific attack rate was associated with children 10-14 years of age. This outbreak was associated with very low vaccination coverage levels prior to the outbreak: 7% among children <5 years, 17% among children <15 years. Such low coverage was found to be due to resistance to immunization in the community, and the weak performance of the Village Heath Worker who served it. However, measles vaccine efficacy was found to be reasonably satisfactory at 72%, indicating that the outbreak occurred owing to failure to vaccinate, rather than vaccine failure. This study demonstrated that timely outbreak control through measles vaccination of all children up to 10 years of age significantly reduced (P <0.05) the measles burden in the community and hence shortened the duration of the outbreak. This study highlighted the critical importance of routinely monitoring vaccination coverage at the sub-district level to prevent the development of pockets of low coverage, as in this case, and to conduct special vaccination sessions to "mop up" unvaccinated children at least up to 10 years of age when such pockets are detected.

Data was gathered through key informant interviews and open-ended questionnaires. Respondents had extensive experiential knowledge of STDs and HIV/AIDS. They pursued several different avenues in attempting to prevent STDs including eating nutritious foods to enhance immunological status, using condoms, and vaginal washing after each act of intercourse. When they acquired a symptomatic STD, they pursued different avenues of treatment including self-treatment with known herbs, traditional healers (herbalists), injectionists, pharmacies, government hospitals, and private clinics. Almost all CSWs explored all options. Many of the key elements for an effective STD prevention and control programme are in place and will be made more effective by training medical personnel, traditional healers, and sex workers themselves.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Helminthology; Protozoology; Medical & Veterinary Entomology N2 - Background: The goal of this study was to assess the health problems of United States Peace Corps volunteers (PCVs) in Madagascar, and to use this information to evaluate the effectiveness of the current PCV health support programme. Methods: PCVs, finalizing their 2 years of service, were enrolled in the study and were evaluated during April-December 2001. Data were retrieved from individual Peace Corps service medical records, the close of service (COS) physical evaluation, and a PCV questionnaire, which elicited additional self-reported health problems and concerns. Results: 69 PCVs participated in the study. Median age at COS was 24 years (95% CI: 23-26 years), and the male to female ratio was 1:3.6 (15 males and 54 females). Skin, gastrointestinal and respiratory infections constituted the 3 most common reported health problems. The registered parasitic infections were: gastrointestinal parasitic infections (42%; caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Giardia lamblia [G. duodenalis] and/or Entamoeba histolytica), confirmed Plasmodium malariae infection (1.4%), presumptive malaria (14.5%), schistosomiasis (11.6%; Schistosoma mansoni and/or S. haematobium) and ectoparasitoses (11.6%; scabies, jigger flea and/or head lice). Female PCVs more frequently reported dermatological manifestations than male PCVs: postadolescent acne (48.2 vs. 13.3%) and telogen hair loss (33.3 vs. 6.7%). Amenorrhoea, as the most commonly reported menstrual alteration during service, was reported by 15 (27.7%) female PCVs. Conclusions: The PCVs in Madagascar encounter a broad range of health-related problems, most of which are preventable infectious diseases. Reinforcement of the preservice personal health-training curriculum later during service is needed. Reported dermatological and menstrual disturbances in female subjects may be associated with stress-related oestrogen imbalance. More studies are warranted to assess the stress impact of long-term travel on female physiology.

Subject Subsets: Human Nutrition N2 - Objective: To gather information from survivors on the effects that the Holocaust had on their current attitudes toward food. Design: Qualitative study: one-on-one semistructured interviews with a script shaped by a pilot study. Setting: South Florida homes and community sites, including the Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial. Participants: Convenience sample of 25 Holocaust survivors: 14 men, 11 women; ages 71 to 85 years. Phenomenon of Interest: Current attitudes toward food in relation to Holocaust experiences. Analysis: Themes and illustrative quotations from transcriptions of audiotaped interviews. Results: Food attitudes were influenced by Holocaust experiences. Five themes emerged: (1) difficulty throwing food away, even when spoiled; (2) storing excess food; (3) craving certain food(s); (4) difficulty standing in line for food; and (5) experiencing anxiety when food is not readily available. Empathy for those currently suffering from hunger was also reported. Conclusions and Implications: Food-related issues from the Holocaust remain for survivors. Now in their 70s and 80s, many use health care and related services. Nutritionists, educators, and health professionals should be aware of such issues. Food and nutrition programmes should minimize uncomfortable food-related situations for Holocaust survivors and others who experienced food deprivation.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; Tropical Diseases; Leisure, Recreation, Tourism; Rural Development N2 - Background. With the popularity of international travel increasing, more travelers in endemic areas may increase their risk of tuberculosis (TB). We analyzed Peace Corps data to assess the risk of TB in long-term travelers from the United States. Methods. We analyzed purified protein derivative (PPD) conversion and acute TB case data from the Peace Corps Epidemiological Surveillance System as well as postservice claims data. We calculated the risk of PPD conversion and active TB in all countries with Peace Corps Volunteers between 1996 and 2005 and compared these risks with other published data. Results. The overall incidence rates for positive PPD conversions and active TB cases are 1.283 and 0.057 per 1,000 Volunteer-months, respectively. The Africa region had the highest PPD conversion rate of 1.467 conversions per 1,000 Volunteer-months as well as the highest active TB rate of 0.089 cases per 1,000 Volunteer-months. Per-country incidence rates for PPD conversions and active TB cases ranged widely from 0.000 to 5.514 cases and 0.000 to 2.126 cases per 1,000 Volunteer-months, respectively. In countries identified as "high risk," there were 1.436 cases of PPD conversions and 0.084 cases of active TB per 1,000 Volunteer-months. Conclusions. Peace Corps Volunteers have significantly higher rates of TB when compared to the average US population but much lower than those reported for travelers to highly endemic countries. Volunteers assigned to highly endemic countries still have a lower risk compared to other travelers to those same countries. Keeping in mind that Peace Corps Volunteers are a unique population, these data may be useful in providing medical advice to long-term travelers.

Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR's) response to the millions of children impacted by HIV/AIDS was to designate 10% of its budget to securing their futures, making it the leading supporter of programs reaching orphan and vulnerable children (OVC) programs globally. This article describes the evolution of PEPFAR's OVC response based on programmatic lessons learned and an evergrowing understanding of the impacts of HIV/AIDS. In launching this international emergency effort and transitioning it toward sustainable local systems, PEPFAR helped establish both the technical content and the central importance of care and support for OVC as a necessary complement to biomedical efforts to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Critical services are reaching millions of HIV-affected children and families through vast networks of community-based responders and strengthened national systems of care. But rapid program scale-up has at times resulted in inconsistent responses, failure to match resources to properly assessed needs, and a dearth of rigorous program evaluations. Key investments should continue to be directed toward more sustainable and effective responses. These include greater attention to children's most significant developmental stages, a focus on building the resilience of families and communities, a proper balance of government and civil society investments, and more rigorous evaluation and research to ensure evidence-based programming. Even as HIV prevalence declines and medical treatment improves and expands, the impacts of HIV/AIDS on children, families, communities, economies, and societies will continue to accumulate for generations. Protecting the full potential of children - and thus of societies - requires sustained and strategic global investments aligned with experience and science.

Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Background: Malaria remains a substantial public health problem in Togo. An integrated child health campaign was conducted in Togo in October 2011. This campaign included a component of free distribution of 2,799,800 long-lasting, insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) to households throughout Togo. This distribution marked the first effort in Togo at universal LLIN coverage and was not targeted specifically to children under five years and pregnant women, but to all household members. This study reports the results of the LLIN distribution campaign in terms of bed net possession and utilization. Methods: A representative household survey was implemented during the rainy season nine months after the LLIN distribution component of the campaign. Some 6,015 households selected through two stages of probability proportion to size stratified random sampling were interviewed using a brief questionnaire that included a demographic section with questions on the number of household members and sleeping spaces, and a campaign participation section with questions used to evaluate non-LLIN aspects of the campaign. A net roster listed all nets and their characteristics, and a household roster listed all members and visitors with information about bed net use. The questions addressed different aspects of bed net and LLIN possession and utilization. Crude weighted frequencies, percentages, and t-tests of association were calculated using the Stata 12.0 Survey features. Results: Possession of at least one bed net and/or LLIN increased from 41.3% to 96.7% (P<0.001). Household possession of at least one campaign LLIN was 93.3%. Report LLIN among pregnant women was 77.5% and 79.3% for children under five. For the general population LLIN use was 68.3%. Conclusions: Due to the gap in LLIN possession and use and the significant number of individuals reporting a lack of nets as a reason for non-use, additional national LLIN distribution campaigns with a stronger educational component need to be implemented in order increase the use of available LLINs and to reach and maintain universal coverage of LLINs in Togo. The LLIN distribution campaign focusing on universal coverage of the general population in Togo was more successful at increasing LLIN possession and use of children under five years and pregnant women than other campaigns focusing only on these target groups.

Number of References: 37 ref. Subject Subsets: Protozoology; Rural Development; Tropical Diseases N2 - Objectives: We piloted a community-based proactive malaria case detection model in rural Senegal to evaluate whether this model can increase testing and treatment and reduce prevalence of symptomatic malaria in target communities. Methods: Home care providers conducted weekly sweeps of every household in their village throughout the transmission season to identify patients with symptoms of malaria, perform rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) on symptomatic patients and provide treatment for positive cases. The model was implemented in 15 villages from July to November 2013, the high transmission season. Fifteen comparison villages were chosen from those implementing Senegal's original, passive model of community case management of malaria. Three sweeps were conducted in the comparison villages to compare prevalence of symptomatic malaria using difference in differences analysis. Results: At baseline, prevalence of symptomatic malaria confirmed by RDT for all symptomatic individuals found during sweeps was similar in both sets of villages (P=0.79). At end line, prevalence was 16 times higher in the comparison villages than in the intervention villages (P=0.003). Adjusting for potential confounders, the intervention was associated with a 30-fold reduction in odds of symptomatic malaria in the intervention villages (AOR=0.033; 95% CI: 0.017, 0.065). Treatment seeking also increased in the intervention villages, with 57% of consultations by home care providers conducted between sweeps through routine community case management. Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that community-based proactive case detection reduces symptomatic malaria prevalence, likely through more timely case management and improved care seeking behaviour. A randomised controlled trial is needed to further evaluate the impact of this model.

Number of References: 20 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - Background. Risk of tuberculosis (TB) is generally considered to be low for long-term travellers, though risk varies with travel destination, duration and purpose. Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) serve for 27 months as community-level development workers in various countries around the world and may be exposed to TB in the course of their service. This study examines recent trends in TB in PCVs and compares rates with a previous analysis published by Jung and Banks. Methods. Tuberculosis case data submitted to the Peace Corps' Epidemiologic Surveillance System by Peace Corps Medical Officers and gathered from Federal Employees Compensation Act claims for latent TB infection (LTBI) and active TB between 2006 and 2013 were aggregated and analysed for trends and significance. Results. Overall, there were 689 cases of LTBI and 13 cases of active TB, for a rate of 0.95 cases of LTBI [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.88-1.02] and 0.02 cases of active TB (95% CI 0.01-0.03) per 1000 Volunteer-months. Both are significantly lower than rates presented in the initial study (P<0.001). Per-country incidence rates for LTBI ranged from 0.00 to 4.52 cases per 1000 Volunteer-months. Per-country active TB rates ranged from 0.00 to 0.78 cases per 1000 Volunteer-months. Among the 13 cases of active TB, there was one successfully treated case of extensively drug-resistant TB. Conclusions. Overall rates of both active and latent TB in PCVs were significantly lower compared with the previous study period. PCVs continue to have statistically significantly higher rates of active TB compared with the general US population but lower rates compared with other long-term travellers.

Number of References: 21 ref. Subject Subsets: Public Health; Medical & Veterinary Entomology; Tropical Diseases N2 - Background: Dengue is an arboviral disease estimated to cause 50-100 million infections each year in >100 tropical and subtropical countries. Urbanization, human population growth and expanded global travel have resulted in an increase in the incidence of dengue worldwide. International travellers to areas with endemic dengue are at risk of contracting dengue and US Peace Corps Volunteers are one specific group of long-term travellers who are exposed to environments where dengue can be contracted. Methods: Cases of dengue among Peace Corps Volunteers, defined as clinically apparent infections with laboratory-confirmation by a positive NS1 antigen test, demonstration of IgM antibodies or by a 4-fold increase in IgG antibodies, between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2014, reported to the Peace Corps' Epidemiologic Surveillance System were analyzed. Results: Overall there were 1448 cases of dengue reported among Volunteers, with an incidence rate of 1.12 cases per 1000 Volunteer-months (95% CI 1.06-1.17). The highest rate of dengue among Volunteers was reported in the Caribbean region, with a rate of 5.51 cases per 1000 Volunteer-months (95% CI 4.97-6.10), followed by the East Asia/South Asia region (3.34, 95% CI 2.96-3.75) and Central America (2.55, 95% CI 2.32-2.79). The rate of dengue peaked in 2007, 2010 and 2013. Each peak year was followed by a trough year. Conclusions: Globally, there appears to be a 3-year cyclical pattern of dengue incidence among Volunteers, with differences by region. Dengue continues to be a priority health issue for travellers to endemic areas, and enhanced surveillance of dengue among international travellers may result in improved patient education and prevention efforts.

Although the Peace Corps, as government enterprise, is new, the ideas behind it are old. Everything the Peace Corps is doing, somebody else has done before and done it well. The very reason the Peace Corps appears to be succeeding is that it has drawn on the experience of others, religious missions abroad, various volunteer agencies, the Experiment in International Living, and Operation Crossroads Africa. But it is new for the federal government to sponsor a program of this type. It is a program of high ideals. Yet it is down to earth. Perhaps that is why it captured the imagination of people. It has high ideals that can be translated into action. It can produce something and do something. It is based on the simple idealized idea of furnishing skilled men and women abroad where they are wanted and needed, asked for, and are willing to serve. The Corps is serving now in 12 countries, doing a variety of things. There are large groups working in agriculture and community development work.

Narrated by Alexander Scourby, the film let the viewer "discover" – as does the volunteer – areas of the world seldom seen by tourists – "a world living on the thin edge of survival". The survey covers the work and accomplishments of Peace Corps volunteers in Peru, Pakistan, Togo, Nepal, Tunisia, Brazil, Turkey and Venezuela. The film also discusses training programs and how the skills of returning volunteers can be utilized.

Training programs have averaged ten to twelve weeks, six hours per day, six days a week. Eight different components were consisted in the training program. While all major components are usually taught, many recent programs have combined World Affairs, Communism, and American Studies into one component. In fact, a few recent programs formally designated only language and technical studies. As the Peace Corps becomes an established feature of the United States overseas commitment, it is time to think of the candidates of the future and what can be done to prepare them before they enter Peace Corps training. For the most part, those institutions which have participated in Peace Corps training bridged successfully the academic-governmental chasm. The response to the new and pioneering challenge of the Peace Corps training was firm and imaginative. It is to these institutions that much credit for the early success of the Peace Corps is due. The most successful training programs have been conducted by those institutions who have the deepest institutional and staff commitment to the Peace Corps idea. The training program must include physical conditioning and physical and mental health training.

Copyright Statement: American Psychological Association. 1965. AB - The Peace Corps was one of the first to employ psychological tests in choosing volunteers for overseas duty. The Peace Corps feels that the success of its selection system is largely due to the use of these tests along with other procedures. The American Psychological Association played a significant role in helping the Peace Corps man its Selection Division. Perhaps the best evidence of the success of psychological tests for selection is the low rate of Peace Corps volunteers who return before completing their service. But quite obviously this success has been only relative. Whatever the number of volunteers who do not complete their service, it is too high. The author urges the American Psychological to continue with new research in order to improve selection procedures.

The program is based on the relationship between language teaching and language learning, that is, between the methods classes in the teaching of English as a second language, and the language classes aimed at giving the volunteers a practical knowledge of Amharic. The present materials serve as the basis for TESL lectures and the joint sessions involving the English and Amharic staffs. There are five English lessons; four introduce new material while the fifth is a detailed review. These five lessons match the first five Amharic lessons in the amount of material covered: by the end of lesson four, students have been introduced to simple affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences with the verb 'to be.' By comparing the sentences they learn in Amharic with those they teach in English, students increase their awareness of the need for control in structure and vocabulary. Each lesson is followed by a pronunciation lesson and a section for contrastive comments, intended as a brief introduction to the application of contrastive analysis in a practical classroom situation.

AB - Test development and validation for use with differing groups should consider: (1) the study of as many separate groups as possible in preference to 1 large heterogeneous group; (2) the hazards of extrapolating the joint criterion distribution for the 2nd group from only the joint predictor-criterion distributions for 1 group and the predictor distribution for the 2nd; (3) that the meaning of a test score is given by its associated level of criterion performance; (4) that tests may be viewed as culture-equivalent if one finds a logical relationship between the 2 sets of test stimuli and similar criterion relationships; and (5) that cross-cultural testing requires identification of the cultural primitives which constitute stimuli for test items.

The course is intended to be covered in approximately 360 hours in the classroom and the language laboratory. About 90 hours should be occupied with the pre-speech phase, which emphasizes passive recognition rather than active production. This phase consists of 60 lessons and seven tests. The remaining time is occupied by the active phase, which puts more emphasis on speaking the language. It consists of 40 lessons which are supplemented by taped materials to be used in the laboratory. The typical lesson in phase II includes a dialogue, vocabulary, grammar, and exercises. The subjects of the dialogues are (1) Greetings; (2) Directions; (3) New Arrival; (4) The Family; (5) Getting Around; (6) Telling Time; (7) Holidays; (8) The Carpenter; (9) The Doctor; (10) The Market; (11) Departure; (12) The Weather; and (13) The Movies.

AB - SCHACHTEL'S CONCEPT OF OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE, A MODIFICATION OF 'REGRESSION IN THE SERVICE OF THE EGO,' WAS ASSESSED BY MEANS OF A NEW PAPER-AND-PENCIL TEST, THE EXPERIENCE INQUIRY. CONSTRUCTION OF THE SCALE WAS BASED UPON THEORY, AND THE HYPOTHESES TESTED WERE DERIVED FROM THEORY. SS WERE 143 COLLEGE UNDERGRADUATES OF BOTH SEXES. SEX DIFFERENCES WERE ANALYZED. RESULTS INDICATED THAT SS OPEN TO EXPERIENCE WERE NOT REPRESSORS, HIGH-SCORING MALES WERE MORE ANXIOUS THAN LOW-SCORING MALES, BUT THIS WAS NOT TRUE FOR FEMALES; NO DIFFERENCES FOR EITHER SEX WERE FOUND FOR EGO STRENGTH. SS OPEN, AS OPPOSED TO THOSE RELATIVELY CLOSED, TO EXPERIENCE EXHIBITED MORE ABILITY TO SHIFT FROM MORE TO LESS REGULATED THINKING AND WERE MORE SPONTANEOUSLY ORIGINAL AS MEASURED BY THE WORD ASSOCIATION AND OBJECT SORTING TESTS. ADJECTIVAL SELF-DESCRIPTIONS SUGGESTED THAT IMPORTANT SEX DIFFERENCES WERE INVOLVED, WITH MALES OPEN TO INNER EXPERIENCE AND FEMALES, TO OUTER EXPERIENCE. (21 REF.)

It was found that professional personality evaluators are prone to use a stereotype of the 'Ideal Peace Corps Volunteer' which has no known basis in terms of cross cultural adjustment. Peace Corps trainees can provide reliable personality descriptions of each other; when these are gathered in a systematic, controlled manner, they can lead to an integration of assessment, training, and research. In this experiment, trainees evaluated themselves and each other on traits and skills deemed especially relevant by the assessment staff and staff members who had just had overseas experience (host country nationals, returned Peace Corps volunteers, and the project director). Assessment and human relations training was then integrated by means of the assessment staff's constructing and evaluating their particular assessment instruments, discussing the results of their assessment with each trainee, and initiating feedback.

AB - This article is a detailed description of the procedures, together with some of the rationale underlying those procedures, that were designed into the treatment variable of a research project on language acquisition. The treatment variable to which the experimental Ss are being exposed is the pedagogical 'model' mentioned in the title. This model for imparting proficiency in the target dialect to the Ss, although clearly an adaptation of audiolingual methodology for second language teaching, is described for the most part from the standpoint of educational psychology. The article delineates the various aspects of language pedagogy which were determined to be essential to the most effective model; namely, teacher training, classroom dynamics, dialect analysis, contrastive analysis (between the nonstandard and standard dialects), and lesson writing. The research hypothesis states that the effect of the treatment, or model, will be a greater gain in the acquisition of proficiency in standard oral English by the experimental Ss than by the control Ss, who are exposed to only traditional procedures for teaching English.

The fifteen lessons alternate between conversations on various subjects, to enable students to improve their speaking ability, and notes on grammar, to enable students to gain more confidence in their use of the language. A few lines extracted from the local newspapers about going to the moon were used to form some of the lessons in this book so that students would be able to see and learn styles of language used in newspapers. Lesson 14 consists of a long story and vocabulary, followed by questions to check comprehension. (Author/CLK) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Hard Copy Volume: 6. Document Type: Article AB - The results of a demonstration project suggest that a series of techniques derived from small-group and behavioral theories for the group treatment of parents is sufficiently promising as to encourage expansion of this approach and an exploration of the use of additional behavioral procedures. The techniques include programmed instruction, model presentation, behavioral rehearsal, and behavioral assignments. This method focuses on helping parents find specific solutions for their children's behavioral and attitudinal problems. In the demonstration project the method was used in a settlement house, child guidance clinic, family service agency, public welfare agency, and school service agency by five second-year social work students. The students worked with groups of parents, primarily from the lower socioeconomic strata, which ranged in size from three to eight members and in number of weekly meetings from five to sixteen. At termination, parents and student workers pointed out areas in which the approach had been helpful.

For males, but not for females, there was a significant positive relationship between self and friend's report of how much S had disclosed to his friend and between self-report and peer ratings on self-disclosure. Jourard proposes that high self-disclosers are 'psychologically healthy'; there was no evidence of consequently positive peer ratings. The crucial variable in interpersonal perceptions, and presumably relationships, for this population does not seem to be self-disclosure, or openness, as measured by this scale.

Remarkably little consideration has been given to the question of the meaning to be assigned specific individual symptoms in psychopathology. An alternative approach to symptom interpretation derives from a psychodynamic approach to psychopathology, i.e., individual symptoms carry the signature of a patient's unconscious motivational processes as these are filtered through his psychological defenses and other ego processes.

Several types of male individuals exist who, with some regularity, dress in clothes society considers appropriate to members of the opposite sex. The best-known of these is the homosexual who adopts feminine attire as an adjunct to his sexual activity. He is often referred to as a drag queen. This study deals with the psychological characteristics of the heterosexual male who enjoys wearing feminine attire.

Issue Publication Date: 1972. AB - Conducted phoneme labeling and discrimination experiments with 36 undergraduates using a continuum of voiced stops ranging from /b/ to /d/. Only 2nd formant (F2) transitions changed from 1 sound to another. Ss labeled the individual stimuli as /b/ and /d/. In discrimination, difference and identity pairs were presented, with alternative responses of 'same' and 'different.' This allowed separate consideration of discrimination (different/Different) and recognition (same/Identity) hits, and also analysis of the data in accordance with the theory of signal detectibility. The sounds were discriminated with and without F1 and F3. With F1F3, sensitivity was highest at the /b-d/ boundary, but not without F1F3. Spectral analysis of the sounds both with and without F1F3 revealed a phonemic energy discontinuity for the 1/3 octave around the F2 steady-state frequency (1,250 Hz.). In spite of the high sensitivity at the /b-d/ boundary, recognition hits (same/Identity) were lowest there. Results indicate that auditory-frequency selection and a strategy of criterion lowering help the perception of speech.

Niger's National Park W supports over 5500 roans. A food habits study of the Park W antelope revealed that approximately 85 percent of their diet consists of grasses and the remaining 15 percent of browse species. There was a noted increase in browsing during the late dry season. Hard size ranged from 3 to 35 individuals, with the largest groups observed during March and April every year. Calves were most often recorded during the early dry season. Twins were noted on several occasions.

P-8A Y1 - 1975/// M3 - Report AB - In early 1976, the National Development Service of Nepal and UNICEF conducted a study designed to determine whether it would be possible to communicate ideas and information to Nepalese villagers who cannot read by using pictures only, the kinds of pictures that are most meaningful for villagers, and whether different colors have special meanings for villagers. Teams of data-collectors went to nine different parts of Nepal and conducted interviews with more than 400 adult villagers from the following groups: Thakuri, Brahmin, Chhetri, Muslim, Bhote, Magar, Gurung, Maithili, Limbu, Rai, and Tharu. None of the villagers interviewed had ever been to school. The researchers showed the villagers a variety of pictures and colors and noted their responses. The main findings of the study, and what they mean for National Development Service participants and other village development workers, are summarized in this booklet, which is also available in the Nepali language. Among the findings: villagers tend to 'read' pictures very literally and do not expect to receive ideas from them; villagers do not necessarily look at a series of pictures from left to right, or assume that there is any connection between the pictures in a series; pictures that try to convey ideas or instructions often use symbols which are not understood by villagers; villagers are interested and attracted by pictures, even though they may need help to interpret them; realistic pictures, with a minimum of background detail, are the easiest for them to understand; and pictures showing a lot of different objects are not well understood.

SN - 00902616 AB - This article explores some of the implications of evaluation research for organizational decisions and discusses the problems as well as the prospects of an experimenting organization. Most organizational decisions are, by necessity, formulated within a context of uncertainty. For example, when deciding to start a new employee compensation scheme, a new training procedure, or a job enrichment program, an administrator is often quite uncertain whether the new program will prove effective. In facing these kinds of decisions, the manager usually comes equipped only with what we may call a lay psychology of organizational effectiveness. The major shortcoming of lay theories is the weakness of their supporting data. An administrator may have constructed a theory of effectiveness merely by observing two work groups that differ in performance and in some other characteristic, such as group cohesiveness. If the differences between the two groups on both performance and cohesiveness are substantial, he or she may conclude that cohesiveness is the prime cause of performance. In constructing a theory of organizational effectiveness, a manager also may have utilized longitudinal data. One problem with data in the field of organizational behavior is that it may merely feed back to administrators their own lay theories of effectiveness.

Weiss N2 - Fourteen adult volunteers (aged 25-63 yr) were given a series of three 0.1 ml (2 mcg of antigen protein) intradermal doses of hepatitis B vaccine (Heptavax-B). Twelve of 14 participants (85.7%) showed a positive antibody response. The 2 participants with no antibody response were the oldest members of the group. Side effects of the vaccines were limited to local reactions at the site of administration. The study demonstrates the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of hepatitis B vaccines when given in 3 intradermal doses of 2 mcg of antigen protein.

Participants included Peace Corps volunteers and their host country national counterparts from six countries of the Pacific Islands and Asia (Western Samoa, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand, and the Solomon Islands). The workshop design combined technical presentations with appropriate hands-on experiential learning sessions. One of the principal goals of the workshop was to train teams of Peace Corps volunteers and host country counterparts in the concepts of agroforestry while at the same time strengthening their personal relationship. Emphasis also was placed on broadening the participants' knowledge of different extension techniques and strategies and providing them with an opportunity to practice those techniques. The workshop also stressed the role of women in development, especially in forestry. The actual sessions on agroforestry focused on the ecological, economic, social and technical aspects. They included an historical overview; advantages and disadvantages; tree, crop, and animal production within a system; nitrogen fixing trees; project planning; seed selection and storage; and fruit tree preparation and management.

The training modules included in this manual were produced and field-tested by the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) as a special project providing focused technical assistance and project support to CEDPA training graduates. CEDPA provides management training and technical assistance to managers of family planning, and health and development programs in the Third World. This training package is divided into three modules, each containing a series of units on specific but related topics. The units are divided into session plans, handouts, reference materials, and training exercises. The first part provides up-to-date information about the nutrition and health problems of women and young children. Its objective is to promote and enable trainees to manage six basic community nutrition activities: growth monitoring, breastfeeding, home and village food production, oral rehydration therapy, immunization, and family planning. Part two focuses on developing trainee skills in nutrition project planning, including selection of interventions, work planning, budgeting, and proposal writing. The final part is designed to assist trainees to develop plans and instruments for managing critical elements of community nutrition programs: i.e., training field workers and community volunteers; supervision of nutrition workers and community activities; and the monitoring and evaluating of service delivery activities.

The health risk of trekking in Nepal has never been calculated. We retrospectively studied all helicopter evacuations and deaths among trekkers in Nepal between Jan 1, 1984, and June 30, 1987. A total of 148,000 persons obtained trekking permits during that time. Twenty-three persons died and 111 were rescued by helicopter. The risk of dying while trekking was 15 deaths per 100,000 trekking permits. The frequency of helicopter rescue was 75 per 100,000 trekking permits. The most frequent cause of death was trauma (11 persons), followed by illness (eight persons) and acute mountain sickness (three persons). Deaths occurred equally at all altitudes from 1000 m to over 5000 m, although the number of persons at risk at different altitudes could not be calculated. These data suggest that trekking in Nepal is a relatively safe activity, but a decision to embark on a trek in Nepal should be individualized, with an understanding of the problems related to remoteness, altitude, and illness in the absence of medical facilities.

Women in Development JF - Pictorial Apprenticeship Program Handbook: A Project Planning Strategy for Preliterate Communities. Women in Development Y1 - 1991/// M3 - Article AB - Intended for community development professionals and volunteers who work with preliterate communities, this illustrated handbook accompanies a library of visual aids that allow rural people to formulate their own projects. (The curriculum, called Pictorial Apprenticeship, transfers the process of project design into visual forms that literate and preliterate villagers can use to design and evaluate their own projects). The handbook is organized in three sections. Following an introduction describing the development, purpose and target readership of the manual, the second section, 'Getting Started,' introduces the Pictorial Apprenticeship materials, suggests ways a field-based facilitator can construct a presentation board and compile a library of illustrations, and teaches how to build a curriculum to fit specific community needs, monitor activities, and evaluate lessons. In the third and longest section, the five units of the Pictorial Apprenticeship Program are presented. They concern: recognizing community problems and determining needs; developing alternative solutions and defining objectives; determining project beneficiaries; project implementation; and project monitoring and evaluation. Each unit is divided into session plans that provide information on purpose, objectives, materials needed, facilitator preparation, and participant activities, and include a cautionary note highlighting potential difficulties. Appendixes comprising over one-half of the manual include a project design card index, project record sheets, and project design cards consisting of easy-to-understand line drawings that have been prepared for five common Peace Corps Projects in water resources, formal/nonformal education, grain mills, vegetable gardening, and health.

The opinions and techniques elaborated here are not necessarily sanctioned by the Peace Corps or the Office of Training and Program Support as a model for organizing or operating youth programs. The case study is offered as an example from which Volunteers may get ideas and begin to learn, in order to enhance their own professional growth as Youth Development workers. Broad categories of subjects presented include child development and behavior; education; vocational preparation; leisure skills and recreation; institutional life; and other special activities for youth promoters (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Alternative producer pest management practices and program cost sharing were incorporated into a biophysical cotton simulation model. Participation in a BWE program along with strict adherence to Cooperative Extension Service pest management guidelines proved to be the risk efficient practice.

Weiss N2 - To determine the effect of sulfamethoxazole in combination with trimethoprim (co-trimoxazole) on stool recovery of Blastocystis hominis, 994 stool specimens from 250 U.S. Peace Corps volunteers in Nepal with diarrhea whose previous medications included tinidazole, metronidazole, tetracycline, or co-trimoxazole, were analyzed. A total of 248 specimens (25%) contained \IT/B. hominis\OK/. Tinidazole or metronidazole was reported for 107, tetracycline for 56, and co-trimoxazole for 47. Previous treatment with tinidazole or metronidazole did not affect the positivity rate for \IT/B. hominis\OK/. Tetracycline use decreased the recovery rate of \IT/B. hominis\OK/, but the striking result was for co-trimoxazole use with only one sample of 47 was positive. It was concluded that previous use of tinidazole or metronidazole had no effect on recovery of \IT/B. hominis\OK/, but co-trimoxazole almost completely eliminated it, while not affecting the other pathogens.

The project began in November 1992 with one institute for cerebral palsy. After two years, other professionals and parents from over 10 centers for special education have participated in trainings ranging from 1 day conferences to 1 week courses. In addition, plans have been made to integrate 1–2 nonspeaking students with severe cerebral palsy into the public schools. Cultural differences, economic, resources, education, distance, and governmental support are some factors that have been taken into account in the development of the project.

Information Collection & Exchange T0084 Y1 - 1994/// M3 - Article AB - The Peace Corps Programming and Training System (PATS) manual is designed to help field staff members of the Peace Corps train volunteers. This supplement to the PATS manual was developed to provide complementary information about key aspects of Peace Corps programming and training for women in development. It is intended for individuals involved in Peace Corps programming and training, such as Peace Corps staff, contractors or consultants, and staff of host country agencies. The supplement uses examples drawn from a wide variety of countries to illustrate the programming and training development process. This supplement provides an overview and framework of how Peace Corps sectors can integrate gender into their 'mainstream' development efforts. It provides guidelines for project planners, managers, and trainers designed to help make the integration of women into project and training design and implementation smoother and more routine. Following an introduction in the first section, the following topics are covered in the remaining sections: (1) using PATS to integrate gender concerns across sectors; (2) project development in agriculture, education, environment, health, small business, urban areas, and writing volunteer assignment descriptions; (3) training in gender and development; and (4) evaluation. Appendixes contain 11 references and a gender checklist; and sample program goals objectives, milestones, and tasks list. (KC) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The primary goal of the intervention (based on change theory) was to increase community leaders' motivation and decrease their resistance to promoting prenatal care for low-income women in their communities. Various media were used to illustrate and emphasize important prenatal concepts. Community leaders were also given information on the status of maternal and infant statistics and health practices in their communities. This intervention significantly increased community leaders' general knowledge related to prenatal issues, positive beliefs toward the promotion of prenatal care, and intent to engage in activities to promote prenatal care for low-income women.

A Manual for Involving Program Stakeholders in the Evaluation Process Y1 - 1995/// M3 - Teaching Material AB - This manual was designed for Catholic Relief Services staff who want to improve the health and nutrition component of maternal and child health programs. The methodology presented had already been used in two country programs in Africa, and the experiences in those program evaluations made this guide to participatory evaluation useful for other evaluation situations. Chapters 1 and 2 discuss a number of concepts that underlie a participatory approach to evaluation, setting the stage for the discussion of practical evaluation steps in chapter 3. These include: (1) preplanning meetings; (2) the evaluation planning workshop; (3) field data collection and analysis; (4) a workshop to formulate the lessons learned; (5) development of an action plan; and (6) the finalization and dissemination of the evaluation report. Chapter 4 presents some conclusions about the use of participatory evaluation. It stresses the importance of careful planning and the availability of certain human and other resources. Chapter 5 presents some cautions related to the use of the participatory methodology, and chapter 6 contains a list of 19 practical references for evaluators.

Document Type: Article AB - An analysis is presented on the beliefs and values that evolve within communities as products of daily experiences that lead the collective whole of a community to draw pragmatic conclusions about the nature of its social reality. The information that is gleaned from an experienceevent is translated into knowledge after passing through a filter where the existing values and beliefs shape the meaning of the information, leading to a revised world view that opens new possibilities for the way the community sees and reacts to the world around it. The resulting model of socialchange is used to provide a framework for defining the role of facilitators who aspire to accelerate the development process. (Journal abstract.)

This paper examines the development and dissolution of the Yanesha Forestry Cooperative in the Palcazu Valley of Peru to test the relevance of Ostrom's CPR design principles to indigenous forest management regimes involving donor assistance and other external influences. The paper expands several principles and suggests ways in which external agencies can assist more effectively in the development of durable common pool resource institutions.

First, household recreation demand functions are estimated based on the individual travel cost model using truncated count data regression methods and alternative price specifications. Findings show mean per trip consumer surplus point estimates between $89 and $286, depending on modeling assumptions and river quality. Magnitudes of these surpluses are very dependent on assumptions about the opportunity cost of time.

Peer Reviewed: Y AB - A psychodynamically trained clinical social worker living in Samoa since 1995 examines some of the questions that the situation of rapid cultural change exposes. What effects does culture have on individual adolescent development? How are "healthy"/"adaptive" development outcomesshaped by the historical moment in which an adolescent lives? What does it mean for a clinician to be an "outsider" in a dominant culture of "insiders"? This paper attempts to address some of these questions from a very personal perspective. (Journal abstract.)

However, it is known that the Nuer women's roles in the family seem to be centered around cooking duties. In the Nuer culture, no work is considered degrading, and the women know and accept their domestic duties. During the summer of 1996, a pilot project was conducted as an attempt to help Nuer refugee women of Des Moines, Iowa, incorporate nutritional concepts and American food preparation techniques into their existing methods of food preparation. The barriers faced involved the Nuer women's unfamiliarity with American foods and household items and their inability to read and understand English. Cultural issues and barriers were overcome when the health educator was willing to take the time to gain the trust and respect of the Nuer people. Structured interviews indicated an increase in knowledge of American foods and cooking skills. This education program in no way meant to replace traditional Nuer cooking methods; rather, it acted as a way to adjust to life in the United States.

Water in Africa Y1 - 2000/// M3 - Article AB - The Water in Africa Project was realized over a 2-year period by a team of Peace Corps volunteers, World Wise Schools (WWS) classroom teachers, and WWS staff members. As part of an expanded, detailed design, resources were collected from over 90 volunteers serving in African countries, photos and stories were prepared, and standards-based learning units were created for K-12 students. In this unit, intended for use in middle schools, students will learn from descriptive passages in stories written by Peace Corps Volunteers in Mauritania, Morocco, and Cape Verde that illustrate how the ever present need for water can be felt, seen, and heard in the song, voice, craft, religion, and ritual of a culture. Students will organize their findings for each country and then capture this 'sense of water' in a narrative poem as a final assessment. The unit can be used in language arts or geography classes. Five 45-minute class periods are suggested. The unit lists materials needed, outlines applicable standards, poses discussion questions, and gives student objectives. It details day-by-day procedures for the teacher and suggests follow-up/enrichment activities. (BT) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

JO - Land Degradation & Development JF - Land Degradation & Development Y1 - 2001/01//Jan/Feb2001 VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 57 EP - 70 SN - 10853278 AB - Under the harsh conditions prevailing in the West African Sahel, farmers must deal with a range of environmental and socio-economic issues that constrain agriculture. Although scientific evidence indicates that wind erosion is potentially a major land degradation process, little is known about the Sahelian farmer's perception of the relative importance of wind erosion as a constraint to agricultural production. A village-level survey was therefore undertaken to assess farmers' views about the relative importance of perceived constraints to agricultural production in 41 villages across Niger. During the interviews, the communities' views were also recorded regarding the causes and consequences of wind erosion as well as known wind erosion control measures. Wind erosion ranked eighth overall and was listed by male farmers among the top 10 constraints in 54 per cent of the villages. It was perceived by male farmers to be a moderate to high constraint in 39 per cent of the villages but was not considered important by female farmers. Wind erosion ranked third among environmental constraints, behind drought and soil fertility. Wind erosion related health problems were generally of more concern than crop damage or loss of topsoil by wind erosion. Deforestation, removal of crop residue and land-clearing practices were identified by farmers as major contributors to soil losses by wind. To address this issue, at least 10 different low-cost technologies are currently being implemented by farmers, including leaving crop residue in the field, mulching and natural regeneration of vegetation. The survey results indicate that farmers are well aware of the overriding importance of their management practices, as opposed to climatic factors, on the current extent of wind erosion.

AB - Using a qualitative methodology, we investigated 6 novice (aged 22-42 yrs) and 6 experienced therapists' (aged 35-60 yrs) experiences of and strategies for managing distracting self-awareness. We found that novice therapists were most aware of anxiety and critical self-talk, whereas experienced therapists were most aware of boredom and outside distracters. In addition, although therapists tended to manage distracting self-awareness through self-coaching and refocusing on the client, novice therapists specifically mentioned managing problematic self-awareness through self-disclosure. In contrast, experienced therapists tended to manage problematic self-awareness by using thought stopping techniques. The results provide new avenues for examining therapists' in-session experiences and for investigating the effectiveness of different management strategies.

This study took place in the context of efforts to improve the quality of curative and preventive services for sexually transmitted infections offered to sex workers in Diego-Suarez, Madagascar in partnership with sex workers. Goal: The goal of this study was to better understand sex-trading practices, map out sex work sites, and estimate the size of a mobile sex-worker population in Diego-Suarez, Madagascar using methods that can be reproduced in other resource-poor settings. Study Design: Forty sex workers were trained to function as field researchers. Key informants in designated neighborhoods were identified and interviewed. Basic maps of sex-trade sites were designed by hand. The number of sex workers in Diego-Suarez was estimated using capture-recapture methodology. An educational brochure was used to "capture" sex workers during a first phase, and "recapture" 2 weeks later. Results: Most sex trade was street based and mobile. Capture-recapture methods estimated a total of 2684 sex workers (95% CI: 2588-2780) in Diego-Suarez, or approximately 12% of the 15- to 49-year-old female population in the city. Conclusion: Geographic mapping and capture-recapture proved to be low-cost and relatively easy to use techniques for counting a hard-to-reach population, such as female street-based sex workers. Sex workers can be capable fieldworkers, and their active participation in research concerning sex work should be considered whenever possible. A high proportion of women of reproductive age were found to engage in sex work, indicating that there is an urgent need to scale up sexually transmitted infection and HIV prevention activities targeting sex workers, their sexual partners, and the general population.

The volunteers are challenged by many new and unfamiliar health problems, as a result of change in living conditions during their service. The goal of this study was to assess the health problems of PCVs in Madagascar, and to use this information to evaluate the effectiveness of the current PCV health support program. METHODS: PCVs, finalizing their 2 years of service, were enrolled in the study. Data were retrieved from individual Peace Corps service medical records, the close of service (COS) physical evaluation, and a PCV questionnaire, which elicited additional self-reported health problems and concerns. RESULTS: Sixty-nine PCVs took part in the study. Median age at COS was 24 years (95% CI 23-26 years), and the male/female ratio was 1 : 3.6 (15 males and 54 females). Skin, gastrointestinal and respiratory infections constituted the three most common reported health problems. Among the registered parasitic infections were ova and parasites in the stool (42.0%), confirmed and presumptive malaria (15.9%) and schistosomiasis (11.6%). Female PCVs more frequently reported dermatologic manifestations than male PCVs: postadolescent acne (48.2% vs. 13.3%) and telogen hair loss (33.3% vs. 6.7%). Amenorrhea, as the most commonly reported menstrual alteration during service, was reported by 15 (27.7%) female PCVs. CONCLUSIONS: The PCVs in Madagascar encounter a broad range of health-related problems, most of which are preventable infectious diseases. Reinforcement of the preservice personal health-training curriculum later during service is needed. Reported dermatologic and menstrual disturbances in female subjects may be associated with stress-related estrogen imbalance. More studies are warranted to assess the stress impact of long-term travel on the female physiology.

JO - Plant Disease JF - Plant Disease Y1 - 2003/11// VL - 87 IS - 11 M3 - Article SP - 1366 EP - 1371 SN - 01912917 AB - During the 1999 to 2001 growing seasons, symptoms consisting of mosaic, stunting, yellowing, wilting, shortening of internodes, and phloem discoloration were observed in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) grown in the Department of Chuquisaca in southern Bolivia. In some fields, approximately 10% of the plants exhibited virus-like symptoms and suffered greatly reduced seed yields. Lentil (Lens culinaris) was also observed to be infected but not pea (Pisum sativum) or faba bean (Vicia faba) growing in nearby fields. Infected chickpea tissue reacted positively to the potyvirus group-specific monoclonal antibody (MAb), but there was no serological reaction with antisera to the potyviruses Bean yellow mosaic virus, Clover yellow vein virus, Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus, Pea seedborne mosaic virus, Bean common mosaic virus, or Bean common mosaic necrosis virus. Western blots of total protein extracts probed with the potyvirus MAb revealed a single band ca. 32 kDa. Comparative sequence analysis of cDNA clones generated from the putative coat protein gene consisted of 282 amino acids (31.9 kDa) and showed moderate identities of 67, 66, 63, 63, and 61% with the coat proteins of potyviruses Pepper severe mosaic virus, Pepper yellow mosaic virus, Potato virus Y, Plum pox virus, and Pepper mottle virus, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the coat protein amino acid sequence revealed that this virus is a unique member of the family Potyviridae and is phylogenetically most closely related to a group of Solanaceae-infecting potyviruses rather than to other legume infecting potyviruses. The proposed name for the new causal agent is Chickpea yellow mosaic virus.

AB - Description: The Holocaust Survivor Food Attitudes Interview Measure (Sindler, Wellman, & Stier, 2004) was developed to gather information from survivors on the effects that the Holocaust has had on their current attitudes toward food. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted by a sole interviewer in homes (n = 12), at the Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial (n = 9), and in community settings (n = 4) (local mall, restaurant, Jewish Federation building). Based on pilot interviews with 6 survivors (nonparticipants in this study) that were read by a second researcher, questions were scripted regarding the food-related memories of the Holocaust and at liberation and how the Holocaust influenced current food attitudes. Audiotaped interviews, ranging from 45 minutes to 3 hours, were transcribed verbatim by the interviewer. Themes emerged based on the frequency of affirmative responses to questions and the content of quotations. Approximately 300 quotations were categorized by question. Psychometric information regarding this interview was not provided by the measure's authors.

While living on a rural island in the Southwest Pacific country of Vanuatu one would not expect to find a plastics manufacturing plant or remnants of the industry in a region of the world where customs and traditional beliefs are strongly observed. Finding plastic products in the place is either an oddity, or just a sign of times. Plastics probably arrived in Vanuatu during World War II, or when "John Frum America" stepped onto shores of Vanuatu, unloaded his wares and founded by accident what is now known as the Cargo Cult.

DESIGN: Qualitative study: one-on-one semistructured interviews with a script shaped by a pilot study. SETTING: South Florida homes and community sites, including the Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial. PARTICIPANTS: Convenience sample of 25 Holocaust survivors: 14 men, 11 women; ages 71 to 85 years. PHENOMENON OF INTEREST: Current attitudes toward food in relation to Holocaust experiences. ANALYSIS: Themes and illustrative quotations from transcriptions of audiotaped interviews. RESULTS: Food attitudes were influenced by Holocaust experiences. Five themes emerged: (1) difficulty throwing food away, even when spoiled; (2) storing excess food; (3) craving certain food(s); (4) difficulty standing in line for food; and (5) experiencing anxiety when food is not readily available. Empathy for those currently suffering from hunger was also reported. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Food-related issues from the Holocaust remain for survivors. Now in their 70s and 80s, many use health care and related services. Nutritionists, educators, and health professionals should be aware of such issues. Food and nutrition programs should minimize uncomfortable food-related situations for Holocaust survivors and others who experienced food deprivation.

JO - Peace Review JF - Peace Review Y1 - 2004/09// VL - 16 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 365 EP - 370 PB - Routledge SN - 10402659 AB - In 2002, an estimated 15,000-20,000 people were killed or injured by landmines worldwide. In previous years, as many as 26,000 people were killed or injured each year. Prior to 1997, landmines claimed over 250,000 victims worldwide, one-third of them women and children. At that time, about 100 million landmines were in the ground worldwide, claiming 150-300 victims per week. In 2002 and the first half of 2003, landmine casualties were reported in 65 countries, the largest numbers in Chechnya (5,695), Afghanistan (1,286), Cambodia (834), Columbia (530), and India (523). Particularly disturbing is that most countries reporting landmine casualties (41 of the 65) were in a state of peace, not war. Only 15 percent of the casualties were military personnel. The twentieth century saw the proliferation of landmines as a weapon of war. They are small bombs, typically buried under the ground, detonated by a weighted object landing on them or by breaching a tripwire. They are indiscriminate weapons. The weighted object that sets one off could be a soldier who steps on it, a rock that falls on it, or a child who walks on it. Anti-personnel landmines require only minimal weight to set them off, compared with anti-vehicular landmines, which typically require something the weight of a vehicle to set them off. Landmines can also last for some time in the ground. For instance, landmines from the Vietnam conflict still claim casualties in that country. Landmine technology has begun to deal with this issue and producers can now create both "smart" and "dumb" landmines. The "smart" ones self-detonate after a pre-specified period of time, typically 15 days. Landmines are not designed to kill their victims, though they often do. Instead, they seek to maim and cause extreme pain, under the assumption that a maimed soldier will hamper fellow soldiers more physically and emotionally than a dead one. Landmines are also preferred because they're inexpensive (U.S.$3-30) and easy to set up in the field, making them a very cost-effective weapon. These qualifies led Pol Pot to call landmines his "perfect little soldiers" during his reign of tenor in Cambodia in the late 1970s. Ironically, to clear them is significantly more costly than to construct and set them, both in money (U.S.$300-1,000) and in the cost to human life and limb, with one de-miner killed for each 5,000 mines cleared.

An immunodominant extracellular protein, called major soluble antigen (MSA), is encoded by two identical genes, msa1 and msa2. We found evidence for a third msa gene, msa3, which appears to be a duplication of msa1. Unlike msa1 and msa2, msa3 is not present in all isolates of R. salmoninarum. The presence of the msa3 locus does not affect total MSA production in culture conditions. In a challenge study, isolates possessing the msa3 locus reduced median survival in juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) by an average of 34% at doses of ≤105 cells per fish compared to isolates lacking the msa3 locus. In contrast, no difference in survival was observed at the highest dose, 106 cells per fish. The phenotype associated with the msa3 locus and its nonuniform distribution may contribute to observed differences in virulence among R. salmoninarum isolates.

A patriarchal society and the associated attitudes along with certain perceptions and/or interpretations of legal doctrines of Islamic law appear to place women in a secondary and discriminated-against position. The purpose of the present study is to examine the lived experiences of women in rural Egypt today and to determine implications for human resource development (HRD). This study will help those working in HRD to understand the cultural context in which women live and work in order to engage them in meaningful and appropriate ways. Interviews were undertaken with specific women in this village in Egypt, and these women's stories depict various circumstances and life histories. The women will be drawn from across the age span — from childhood to the elderly. Some implications for HRD research and practice will be drawn from these stories.

US Peace Corps volunteers (PCVs) serving in Tanzania were not experiencing symptoms of infection, but in 1998 when comprehensive testing was instituted, more than one-quarter were found to be infected with schistosomiasis at the close of their 27-month tour of service. Methods: An education campaign was instituted by the in-country Peace Corps Medical Officers. At their close of service, all PCVs had a medical examination and blood, urine, and stool samples were tested for schistosomiasis. PCVs also answered a survey that included questions about their knowledge of the blood fluke and the disease, symptoms, where and how many times they had gone swimming, and what precautionary measures they had taken. Results: PCVs in Tanzania are most susceptible to infection from recreational activities within the Lake Victoria ecosystem. After an education campaign, incident cases dropped quickly. Vigorous toweling after exposure may have decreased the risk of disease for those PCVs who went swimming in freshwater. Although schistosomiasis is common in Tanzania and PCVs are highly susceptible, it is possible for them to spend their entire tour without contracting the disease, even if they live by Lake Victoria. Conclusions: People should be encouraged not to swim in Lake Victoria.

The forest at Subic Bay, Philippines, supports a rare, large colony of vulnerable Philippine giant fruit bats (Pteropus vampyrus lanensis) and endangered and endemic golden-crowned flying-foxes (Acerodon jubatus). These large flying-foxes are optimal for conservation focus, because in addition to being keystone, flagship, and umbrella species, the bats are important to Subic Bay’s economy and its indigenous cultures. Habitat selection information streamlines management’s efforts to protect and conserve these popular but threatened animals. We used radio telemetry to describe the bats’ nighttime use of habitat on two ecological scales: vegetation and microhabitat. The fruit bats used the entire 14,000 ha study area, including all of Subic Bay Watershed Reserve, as well as neighboring forests just outside the protected area boundaries. Their recorded foraging locations ranged between 0.4 and 12 km from the roost. We compared the bats’ use to the availability of vegetative habitat types, riparian areas, and bat trees. The fruit bats’ locations showed a preference for undisturbed forest types and selection against disturbed and agricultural areas. Bat locations also showed selection for particular fruiting/flowering bat trees. The bats showed strong preference for riparian areas; locations were in riparian areas over four times more than expected. From these results we recommend that management focus flying-fox conservation efforts on undisturbed forest and riparian areas.

In Panama it is being used by several development agencies to train local farmers in the manner of sustainable agriculture. In this paper the effectiveness of the promoter model was assessed. Starting with the trained promoter, the number of sustainable farmers who were influenced by the promoter was determined. The number of first generation adopters was low compared to rates typically presented in the literature. Reasons for these low rates are discussed. Non-adopters were interviewed to determine reasons for non-adoption of sustainable agriculture and why use of slash and burn continues. These reasons for adoption or non-adoption are discussed.

Fifteen municipalities have operational drinking water treatment systems and 98 percent of water sources are contaminated. Public investment in water utilities has decreased due to a perception about the high cost of centralized water treatment plants. Less than 50 percent of the rural population has access to clean water. Four factors are key to providing clean drinking water to a household or small community.

Prior research has been limited primarily because of challenges in surveillance, defining injuries, and measuring exposures. Hypothesis: Football injury patterns differ across player and session characteristics. Study Design; Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: More than 5000 football players from 87 high schools in California were observed for 2 seasons (2001 and 2002). School representatives were trained to collect data on injuries, player characteristics, and daily exposures. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and clustered Poisson regression. Results: Players sustained 25.5 injuries per 100 players, 9.3 injuries per 10 000 player-hours, and 8.4 injuries per 100 session-hours. Session rates were highest during games, on artificial turf (13.8 of 100), during foggy weather (25.1 of 100), and on clear evenings (21 of 100). Offensive and defensive backfielders had about a 20% increased rate of injury compared with linemen. The adjusted injury rate for starters was 60% higher than the rate for nonstarters (relative rate, 1.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.4–1.9). Conclusion: Risk profiles differed by experience, playing position, and surface types. We recommend future sports injury research that measures time-dependent exposures at the individual level and for various types of environmental playing conditions.

JO - Economic Geography JF - Economic Geography Y1 - 2006/07// VL - 82 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 265 EP - 288 SN - 00130095 AB - Tropical deforestation is a significant driver of global environmental change, given its impacts on the carbon cycle and biodiversity. Loss of the Amazon forest, the focus of this article, is of particular concern because of the size and the rapid rate at which the forest is being converted to agricultural use. In this article, we identify what has been the most important driver of deforestation in a specific colonization frontier in the Brazilian Amazon. To this end, we consider (1) the land-use dynamics of smallholder households, (2) the formation of pasture by large-scale ranchers, and (3) structural processes of land aggregation by ranchers. Much has been written about relations between smallholders and ranchers in the Brazilian Amazon, particularly those involving conflict over land, and this article explicates the implications of such social processes for land cover. Toward this end, we draw on panel data (1996-2002) and satellite imagery (1986-1999) to show the deforestation that is attributable to small- and largeholders, and the deforestation that is attributable to aggregations of property arising from a process that we refer to as frontier stratification. Evidently, most of the recent deforestation in the study area has resulted from the household processes of smallholders, not from conversions to pasture pursuant to the appropriations of smallholders' property by well-capitalized ranchers or speculators.

Design: Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the study design. Surveillance data were used to collect testing information. Comparisons at the start and end of the project measured change in individual knowledge about syphilis. Cross-sectional data from interviews with business owners and qualitative comments from outreach workers evaluated perception of program effectiveness. The local health department collected surveillance data. Sample: A convenience sample of 63 Hispanic community members, 12 business owners/managers, and 8 outreach workers was utilized throughout the evaluation process. Intervention: The project was a culturally appropriate approach to health promotion with street and business outreach. Results: Post intervention there was a statistically significant increase in knowledge about syphilis within the Hispanic community and an increase in testing behaviors. Conclusions: The Syphilis Elimination Project was created in response to a marked increase in syphilis in Baltimore among the Hispanic population and a health disparity that existed within the city. It increased community members' knowledge of syphilis and positively influenced testing behaviors.

JO - Marine Fisheries Review JF - Marine Fisheries Review Y1 - 2007/03// VL - 69 IS - 1-4 M3 - Article SP - 25 EP - 45 PB - Superintendent of Documents SN - 00901830 AB - Long-term trends in the elasmobranch assemblage of Elkhorn Slough, Monterey Bay, California, were analyzed by documenting species composition and catch per unit effort (CPUE) from 55 sport fishing derbies that occurred during May, June, and July, from 1951 until 1995. The most abundant species (bat ray, Myliobatis californica; shovelnose guitarfish, Rhinobatos productus; and leopard shark, Triakis semifasciata) were also analyzed for size-weight relationships, trends in size class distribution, stage of maturity, and sex ratios. Changes in species composition over the course of the derbies included the near complete disappearance of shovelnose guitarfish by the 1970's and a slight increase in the abundance of minor species (mainly smoothhounds, Mustelus spp., and thornback, Platyrhinoidis triseriata) starting in the mid 1960's. The relative abundance of bat rays in the catch steadily increased over the years while the relative abundance of leopard sharks declined during the last two decades. However the average number of bat rays and leopard sharks caught per derby declined during the last two decades. Fishing effort appeared to increase over the course of the derbies. There were no dramatic shifts in the size class distribution data for bat rays, leopard sharks, or shovelnose guitarfish. The catch of bat rays and leopard sharks was consistently dominated by immature individuals, while the catch of shovelnose guitarfish was heavily dominated by adults. There was evidence of sexual segregation in either immature or mature fish in all the species. Female bat rays and shovelnose guitarfish were larger than their male counterparts and outnumbered males nearly 2:1. Female and male leopard sharks were more nearly equal in size and sex ratio. Changes in species composition are likely due to fishing pressure, shifts in the prevailing oceanographic conditions, and habitat alteration in Elkhorn Slough. The sex ratios, stage of maturity, and size class distributions provide further evidence for the theory that Elkhorn Slough functions as a nursery habitat for bat rays and leopard sharks.

In doing so, it places sex tourism in two epistemic contexts: one context expands the notion of cultural policies, the other notes the implicit and explicit origins and effects of cultural policies affecting sex work, although these positions are not mutually exclusive. Sex tourism, we argue, poses a particular challenge to the understandings embedded in these contexts. The sex industry points us to the limits of cultural policies, both in terms of expanding the scope of cultural industries and also in documenting their effects. So far, while we expand the list of cultural industries, the sex industry remains as the industry that must not speak its name. Officials do not want to name it; neither do they do much to stop it. Naming and mapping sex tourism is then a useful place to start. For empirical substantiation, Thailand is our case study. We document the cultural and economic importance of sex work. In doing so, we also remain sensitive to the context of racism, stigma, trafficking, and HIV/AIDS issues that intersect sex work.

Methods: Survey of Peace Corps volunteers’ adverse events associated with the use of antimalarial chemoprophylaxis between August 1, 2005 and July 31, 2006. Analyses were conducted in fall 2006. Results: Two thousand seven hundred and one surveys were received (43% response rate) from volunteers in malaria-endemic countries, with 1,731 (64%) in country for 6 months or longer (average 19 months). Nearly two thirds (62%) reported at least one adverse event. Those on mefloquine reported the most neuropsychologic adverse events; those on doxycycline reported the most gastrointestinal as well as skin and vaginal adverse events. Nearly one quarter of respondents (23%) changed their chemoprophylaxis regimen due to adverse events. Severe adverse events were reported by 9% of respondents, and 1% reported being hospitalized. Conclusions: Adverse events were frequently reported among volunteers using antimalarial medications for more than 6 months, but very few were severe or required hospitalization. In light of the large number of adverse events, having multiple drug regimens available for the long-term traveler may be one method of maintaining adherence to antimalarial chemoprophylaxis.

The temptation to assert one's self as an SME in the absence of actual expertise is great. As a consumer, where does one turn, how does one know who to believe, and where does one place trust? What constitutes an SME is explored using two methods of how SMEs are developed. The reader is guided through finding, selecting, and validating an SME. The identification of some obstacles in using SMEs is also addressed. The question, “Is your subject matter expert really an expert?” is answered.

Open to negative influences such as alcohol and drugs, they are at a higher risk for getting HIV/AIDS. In Kivsharivka, Ukraine, a US Peace Corps volunteer named Aaron Brantly has established a programme called the Kivsharivka Youth and Community Activity Organization (KYCAO) The KYCAO uses music and creative development to give students a connection to their community and to each other. As a community music outreach programme its intention is to provide some hope for the future.

With the popularity of international travel increasing, more travelers in endemic areas may increase their risk of tuberculosis (TB). We analyzed Peace Corps data to assess the risk of TB in long-term travelers from the United States. Methods. We analyzed purified protein derivative (PPD) conversion and acute TB case data from the Peace Corps Epidemiological Surveillance System as well as postservice claims data. We calculated the risk of PPD conversion and active TB in all countries with Peace Corps Volunteers between 1996 and 2005 and compared these risks with other published data. Results. The overall incidence rates for positive PPD conversions and active TB cases are 1.283 and 0.057 per 1,000 Volunteer-months, respectively. The Africa region had the highest PPD conversion rate of 1.467 conversions per 1,000 Volunteer-months as well as the highest active TB rate of 0.089 cases per 1,000 Volunteer-months. Per-country incidence rates for PPD conversions and active TB cases ranged widely from 0.000 to 5.514 cases and 0.000 to 2.126 cases per 1,000 Volunteer-months, respectively. In countries identified as “high risk,” there were 1.436 cases of PPD conversions and 0.084 cases of active TB per 1,000 Volunteer-months. Conclusions. Peace Corps Volunteers have significantly higher rates of TB when compared to the average US population but much lower than those reported for travelers to highly endemic countries. Volunteers assigned to highly endemic countries still have a lower risk compared to other travelers to those same countries. Keeping in mind that Peace Corps Volunteers are a unique population, these data may be useful in providing medical advice to long-term travelers.

Worldwide, improved water access rates are lowest for Sub-Saharan Africa, including the West African region, and these low rates have important implications on the health and economy of the region. Domestic rainwater harvesting (DRWH) is proposed as a potential mechanism for water supply enhancement, especially for the poor urban households in the region, which is essential for development planning and poverty alleviation initiatives. The stochastic rainfall models examined are Markov models and LARS-WG, selected due to availability and ease of use for water planners in the developing world. A first-order Markov occurrence model with a mixed exponential amount model is selected as the best option for unconditioned Markov models. However, there is no clear advantage in selecting Markov models over the LARS-WG model for DRWH in West Africa, with each model having distinct strengths and weaknesses. A multi-model approach is used in assessing DRWH in the region to illustrate the variability associated with the rainfall models. It is clear DRWH can be successfully used as a water enhancement mechanism in West Africa for certain times of the year. A 200L drum storage capacity could potentially optimize these simple, small roof area systems for many locations in the region.

The method showed good intraday (n =5) and interday (n =3) precision, RSD<1.6% in both cases, for each of the identified compounds. The calibration curves were linear at the tested ranges (R 2 >0.999). Good recoveries (84.2–108.5%) were obtained for 10 of the 11 compounds studied; and the LOD and LOQ ranged from 0.62 to 4.09μg/mL and 1.9–12.4μg/mL, respectively. The proposed methodology was applied to a set of 15 authentic tequila samples grouped by aging state (blanco, reposado and añejo). An ANOVA analysis combined with discriminant analysis with stepwise backward variable selection was used to differentiate between the various aging groups based on their oak related compounds content.

Infants from low-income families have some of the lowest exclusive breastfeeding rates in the United States. The objectives of this study were to identify (1) reasons low-income breastfeeding mothers begin in-hospital formula supplementation and (2) risk factors for in-hospital formula supplementation. We surveyed 150 low-income mothers in a Washington, DC, clinic. Sixty percent had initiated breastfeeding, and 78% of these breastfed infants received formula supplementation in the hospital. There was no clear medical need for supplementation for 87% of the breastfed infants receiving supplementation. Infants of mothers who did not attend a prenatal breastfeeding class were almost 5 times more likely to receive in-hospital formula supplementation than those infants whose mothers had attended a class (OR, 4.7; 95% CI, 1.05-21.14). Improved knowledge about breastfeeding among nursing and medical providers is important to minimize unnecessary formula supplementation for breastfed infants.

AB - This study examined the field internship experiences of bilingual graduate social work students who worked with limited English proficiency (LEP) clients. Data were collected via a Web-based survey from 55 bilingual social work students. Respondents reported that LEP clients required more time and work and generally had more complicated cases than monolingual English clients. Working in two or more languages often fatigued respondents. Respondents frequently interpreted for monolingual staff but received no training in using professional terminology when interpreting. They reported that agencies had only some documents translated. One quarter of the sample stated that being bilingual interfered with their field education. The article closes with recommendations for augmenting the language skills of bilingual students.

JO - Agroforestry Systems JF - Agroforestry Systems Y1 - 2009/05// VL - 76 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 219 EP - 236 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 01674366 AB - In the Republic of Panama, reforestation with native species is of great interest, but many landholders often do not participate in tree planting projects and little information exists about landholder interest in, or experiences with, native trees. This study evaluates the experiences of farmers participating in a native species reforestation initiative in rural Panama to identify lessons learned that can guide on-going or future tree planting efforts. Based on the results of a questionnaire administered to program participants and non-participants ( n = 68), we found that trees are important to farmers for multiple reasons, primary a variety of environmental and economic benefits. No relationship between the size of landholdings or land tenure status and the desire to plant trees was found. All participants in the program considered their experience to be positive, few had problems with their plantations, and most were interested in planting more native trees. The program’s frequent and ongoing technical support was an important factor for farmers. These results indicate widespread interest in, and success with, planting native species and underscore the need to systematically examine farmers’ interests and perceptions when planning, implementing, and evaluating reforestation initiatives.

Data sources: APNs with prescriptive authority employed at the NIH were surveyed using an adaptation of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) “2004 Nurse Practitioner Sample Survey.” A total of 56 of 93 surveys were returned (63% response rate), and of these, 54 (96%) were completed by NPs. Conclusion: In the 20 years they have been at NIH, the number of NPs has grown from less than 10 to more than 100. NIH NPs combine clinical research responsibilities with the provision of comprehensive medical management to patients enrolled on NIH protocols, blending clinical, research, educational, and administrative tasks into a unique and multifaceted role. There is a high level of satisfaction among NPs employed at the NIH, and they are considered an integral part of the research team. Implications for practice: This survey shows the variability in practice opportunities available to NPs in a research environment and the impact they have on public health.

Design-Cross-sectional study. Animals-1 57 pit bull-type dogs that were confiscated as part of dogfighting prosecution cases in Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington and 218 randomly selected animal shelter dogs with no known history of dogfighting. Procedures-Blood samples collected from confiscated dogs were tested for infection with B gibsoni by use of a nested PCR assay. Samples that yielded positive results under- went DNA sequencing to confirm infection with B gibsoni. Control blood samples collected from 218 randomly selected dogs in animal shelters (ie, dogs that had no known involvement in dogfighting events) were also analyzed. Results-Results of nested PCR assays indicated that 53 of 157 (33.8%) confiscated dogs were infected with B gibsoni; 1 (0.6%) dog was infected with the canine small Babesia 'Spanish isolate' (also known as Theileria annae).To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of infection with this small Babesia 'Spanish isolate' in a North American dog. Dogs with scars (indicative of fighting) on the face, head, and forelimbs were 5.5 times as likely to be infected with B gibsonias were dogs without scars. Of the control dogs, 1 (0.5%) pit bull-type dog was infected with B gibsoni. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-Results indicated that B gibsoni is a common parasite of dogs confiscated from dogfighting operations and suggested that dogs with a history of fighting should be evaluated for infection with B gibsoni [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association is the property of American Veterinary Medical Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The focus of this study is on an operational digester in Washington State. Using the first two years of physical and financial data from the operational digester, a base scenario is constructed. The analysis focuses on the impact of developing various coproduct markets on the digestion system's feasibility. The coproduct markets analyzed include electricity, digested fiber, tipping fees, and carbon credits. The results of the economic analysis show that tipping fees and electricity are key revenue sources for the digester.

EI is defined as the ability to control impulses and delay gratification and regulate one's moods. The development of personal and social competence is an important indicator of nursing leadership style. One of the requirements of a true EI is effective communication in a context that is mindful of the emotional basis for many cognitive decisions. Nurse leaders need to show professional empathy in caring for patients and in managing organizations and personnel.

As a result, the lagoons were contaminated with soap and bleach chemicals. Community members, with the help of a Guatemalan sustainable development organization (Fundacion Solar), the United States Peace Corps and Sandia National Laboratories, designed an electric submersible water pump system used to fill cement communal washing station tanks that were to be built in the jungle surrounding the lagoons. The proposal was prepared and submitted with a detailed budget to the United States Agency for International Development''s (USAID) Mission in Guatemala in 2004. As part of the project, “Artificial Wetlands” were built in a series of three drainage ponds connected to the washing station by tubing, designed to treat the soap and bleach contaminated wastewater with native plants before it flowed back into the lagoons. These plants are very effective in removing chemicals associated with soaps. The project''s implementation successfully improved the environmentally destructive washing practices of the women who had been washing for many years in the lagoons, and has raised the health and economic status of community members. To ensure project sustainability, payment and washing schedules were established in a 2-month training course for the community members after construction. Currently, the community uses funds from a small washing fee that is collected to repair the pump and maintain the site.

It recounts details of the transformation of Miskito political representation in the wake of the 1979 Sandinista Revolution and immediately prior to the Miskito rebellion of the 1980s. Perspectives presented here are of Miskito activists of the pre-revolutionary and pre-rebellion era. These are perspectives that in the 1980s were silenced by intraethnic political rivals among the Miskito leadership and by a complicit Western scholarship that at the time was engaged in promoting subaltern voice in Central America as stories of ethnic rebellion. In revising accounts of a local political power struggle, this essay examines the process of history creation in an indigenous community. By including alternative perspectives and reviving previously silenced voices in Nicaragua, it more broadly charts the evolution of oral history as methodology since its popularization in the area of Central American indigenous studies in the 1980s.

Since this discovery in the mid-1980s, psychologists and social service professionals have conducted research with children exposed to DV. This ethnographic study expands on existing research by examining how youth exposed to DV perceive their experiences and staff interventions. Findings show they draw on gender stereotypes for behaviors, and these frequently resist DV education and the advocates’ suggestions for coping. Findings also showed the staff’s formal interventions with the youth contradict gender norms and their casual interactions with the youth often inadvertently reinforce stereotypical gender identities and behaviors.

Pedestrian choice research was applied to the library to better understand visitor movement and facilitate greater interaction and engagement. To encourage greater interaction, future library design needs to strategize the high demand services and resources along the natural pathways and to the immediate library entrance, while remote locations should be redesigned as desirable destinations that provide high benefits to students and library visitors.

AB - We present data questioning the adequacy of standard back-translation procedures for investigating emotion states across cultures (Brislin, 1970). Our data indicate that the Chinese back-translation of the term disgust has led cross-cultural researchers to accept terms whose themes, goals, and motivations are more akin to the English term anger. Evidence is presented showing that, compared with the standard back-translation method, a more painstaking interview method found a better translational Chinese equivalent for the English term disgust. Implications for the use of back-translation in cross-cultural research are considered.

Accurate assessment of in situ rates of transformation and the potential for product sequestration requires knowledge of the distribution of these products among the solid, aqueous, and organic liquid phases present within the source zone. Here we consider the fluid—fluid partitioning of two of the most common incomplete transformation products, cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC). The distributions of cis-DCE and VC between the aqueous phase and tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) DNAPLs, respectively, were quantified at 22 °C for the environmentally relevant, dilute range. The results suggest that partition coefficients (concentration basis) for VC and cis-DCE are 70 ± 1 Laq/LTCEDNAPL and 105 ± 1 Laq/LPCEDNAPL, respectively. VC partitioning data (in the dilute region) were reasonably approximated using the Raoult's law analogy for liquid-liquid equilibrium. In contrast, data for the partitioning of cis-DCE were well described only when well-parametrized models for the excess Gibbs free energy were employed. In addition, available vapor—liquid and liquid—liquid data were employed with our measurements to assess the temperature dependence of the cis-DCE and VC partition coefficients. Overall, the results suggest that there is a strong thermodynamic driving force for the reversible sequestration of cis-DC and VC within DNAPL source zones. Implications of this partitioning include retardation during transport and underestimation of the transformation rates observed through analysis of aqueous-phase samples.

JO - Biological Invasions JF - Biological Invasions Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 13 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 55 EP - 60 PB - Springer Science & Business Media B.V. SN - 13873547 AB - The notorious 'cane toad' ( Bufo marinus) is considered to be one of the 100 worst invasive species in the world. A native of South and Central America, Mexico, and the Rio Grande Valley of the United States, this large toad was intentionally introduced to islands in the Caribbean, and subsequently throughout the southern Pacific, as a biological control agent to combat sugar cane pests. Unfortunately, the primary result of those introductions has been deleterious impacts on native biotas, primarily through competition and predation. More recently, the cane toad has devastated populations of amphibian-eating predators in Australia, through the ingestion of this highly toxic anuran. Elsewhere, however, the impact of the toad on native predators has not been documented. Here we report the first evidence that the cane toad is impacting native predators in other geographic regions. Specifically, we document death due to cane toad poisoning in the endemic and threatened Jamaican boa ( Epicrates subflavus). To our knowledge, this is the first report of cane toads causing mortality in naturally occurring predators outside of Australia. Like all members of the genus, B. marinus secretes a powerful bufogenin toxin, which is often fatal if ingested by naïve species that have not co-evolved with Bufo species. Our results should therefore serve as a warning that other endemic predator species in the West Indies and elsewhere may be at risk. Thus, efforts to control the population growth and spread of cane toads may be of even greater conservation concern than previously recognized.

JO - Journal of the International AIDS Society JF - Journal of the International AIDS Society Y1 - 2011/01// VL - 14 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 SN - 17582652 AB - Background: Evidence is increasing of high HIV risks among southern African men who have sex with men (MSM). This represents the first study of HIV risks and human rights contexts among MSM in Lesotho. Methods: Two hundred and fifty-two men who reported ever having anal sex with another man were accrued with snowball sampling and were administered a structured quantitative instrument in October and November 2009. Results: Of the participants, 96.4% (240/249) were ethnic Basotho with a mean age of 26.3 years (range 18-56), 49.6% (124/250) were currently employed, and 95.2% (238/250) had at least a secondary-level education. Selfreported HIV prevalence was 11.6% (22/190); 54.5% (128/235) reported being tested for HIV in the last year. HIV knowledge was low; only 3.7% (8/212) of MSM knew that receptive anal intercourse was the highest risk for HIV and that a water-based lubricant was most appropriate to use with condoms. Bivariate associations of wearing condoms during last intercourse with men include: having easy access to condoms (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.2-8.5, p < 0.05); being older than 26 years (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.3-4.2, p < 0.01); knowing that receptive anal intercourse is higher risk than insertive anal intercourse (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.2-5.9, p < 0.05); wearing condoms with female sexual partners (OR 3.5, 95% 1.4-8.3, p < 0.01); using water-based lubricants (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.4-5.5, p < 0.01); being less likely to report having been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infecton (OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.06-0.76, p < 0.05); and being more likely to have been tested for HIV in the last year (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2-3.6, p > 0.05). Human rights abuses were common: 76.2% (170/223) reported at least one abuse, including rape (9.8%, 22/225), blackmail (21.3%, 47/221), fear of seeking healthcare (22.2%, 49/221), police discrimination (16.4%, 36/219), verbal or physical harassment (59.8%, 140/234), or having been beaten (18.9%, 43/228). Conclusions: MSM in Lesotho are at high risk for HIV infection and human rights abuses. Evidence-based and rights-affirming HIV prevention programmes supporting the needs of MSM should be developed and implemented.

JO - Mayo Clinic Proceedings JF - Mayo Clinic Proceedings Y1 - 2011/05// VL - 86 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 397 EP - 405 SN - 00256196 AB - OBJECTIVE: To determine whether physicians document office visits differently when they know their patients have easy, online access to visit notes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a natural experiment with a pre-post design and a nonrandomized control group. The setting was a multispecialty group practice In Minnesota. We reviewed a total of 400 visit notes: 100 each for patients seen in a rheumatology department (intervention group) and a pulmonary medicine department (control group) from July 1 to August 30, 2005, before online access to notes, and 100 each for patients seen in these 2 departments 1 year later, from July 1 to August 30, 2006, when only rheumatology patients had online access to visit notes. We measured changes in visit note content related to 9 hypotheses for increased patient understanding and 5 for decreased frank or Judgmental language. RESULTS: Changes occurred for 2 of the 9 hypotheses related to patient understanding, both in an unpredicted direction. The proportion of acronyms or abbreviations increased more in the notes of rheumatologists than of pulmonologists (0.6% vs 0.1%; P=.01), whereas the proportion of anatomy understood decreased more in the notes of rheumatologists than of pulmonologists (-5.9% vs -0.8%; P=.02). One change (of 5 possible) occurred related to the use of frank or judgmentai terms. Mentions of mental health status decreased in rheumatology notes and increased in pulmonology notes (-8% vs 7%; P=.02). CONCLUSION: Dictation patterns appear relatively stable over time with or without online patient access to visit notes.

In this study four tree species native to Panama –Cedrela odorata, Pachira quinata, Samanea saman, and Tabebuia rosea – were grown on rural farms at two dry tropical sites in Panama for up to five years. Survivorship and growth data at these “on-farm” trials are compared to data recorded from nearby experimental or “species selection” trial sites and evaluated in terms of soil fertility and management. Participant farmers were also asked about their interest in planting trees in general as well as their interest in 61 species grown in the species selection trial. Although, on-farm survivorship was variable and generally lower than that found on the species selection trial, one species (S. saman) experienced high and consistent survivorship. High survivorship combined with growth data from farms at both sites for this species suggests it would be a good candidate for extension projects working with rural farmers. Survivorship of other species appears more sensitive to farmer management and/or local site conditions. Generally lower growth on the Los Santos farms as compared to the species-selection trial is attributed to the lower soil fertility (plant available P) at the on-farm sites compared to the species selection trial. In contrast, only one species –P. quinata – had a growth variable found to be significantly lower between the on-farm and species selection trial sites in Rio Hato. C. odorata, P. quinata T. rosea can all be used in on-farm conditions with consideration to specific site and management conditions. By 2009, approximately 80% of the farmers planting trees still wished to participate in tree planting activities. All of the farmers no longer wishing to continue with the project expressed slow growth rates of trees as a principal reason. All but one of these farmers had growth rates for his/her trees markedly below those of the species selection trial nearby. Some farmers wishing to continue had very high mortality rates (>70% for all species), suggesting non-tangible benefits for participating in project activities. Other species that were not tested on-farm but grew well in the species-selection trials and were of interest to local farmers are discussed. As long as specific site and management conditions are carefully considered, data from species selection trials can be useful in informing tree planting projects with rural farmers; however, care should be taken to manage expectations.

Ninety-nine tree species were identified that they utilize, plant, or protect on their land, the majority of which are native to Panama. The farmers had diverse reasons for maintaining trees, including improving the environment, providing food and shade for cattle, and generating a source of wood for construction, furniture, and firewood. Most of the trees mentioned in the study provide multiple uses and values and the majority of farmers wanted to plant additional trees. Some differences in species preferences and motivations for planting and protecting trees were seen between sites, thereby suggesting that land restoration and tree planting projects should be site specific. Our data indicate that there are ample opportunities to increase native tree cover in our study sites and highlight the need to incorporate farmer input into project design, implementation, and evaluation as a necessary and continuous feature throughout projects.

The nonprofit literature suggests that increased government scrutiny of charitable activities has caused nonprofits to change their behavior. However, empirical evidence behind these claims is lacking. Philanthropy researchers also discuss the response of ethnic diasporas in the United States to crises and other events in their homelands, though rarely from an organizational perspective. This study examines whether heightened government scrutiny, homeland events, or some other factor was most responsible for the increase in U.S.-based Afghan nonprofits initiating IRS contact following September 11. Survey research finds that Afghan nonprofits, though arguably greater targets for IRS scrutiny due to their Middle East connections, were more motivated by events in their homeland than by heightened government scrutiny to register and file with the IRS.

In return for providing primary care to underserved, homeless, and migrant populations, these centers are reimbursed at a higher rate than other providers by public programs such as Medicaid. Under the Affordable Care Act of 2010, the role of the centers is expected to grow. To examine the quality of care that the centers provide, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing compared the use of costly hospital-related services by Medicaid clients whose usual source of care was a community health center with the use by clients whose usual source of care was a private, fee-for-service provider. The study found that community health center users were about one-third less likely than the other group to have emergency department visits, inpatient hospitalizations, or preventable hospital admissions. Public funders such as states should work with community health centers to improve the quality and reduce the cost of care even further.

African conceptualizations of illness and health integrate social, spiritual, physical and mental realms, all of which are impacted by trauma. This paper will explore different forms of dance and ritual throughout the African Diaspora as they relate to the process of healing trauma. It will provide examples of African dance healing practices - from the Ndeup ritual in Senegal and Zar tradition in North Africa to the highly stylized dance techniques of Guinea and urban dance in the U.S. Psychological perspectives are incorporated to provide an additional framework for understanding healing dance rituals.

The study was conducted in the provinces of Cartago and Guanacaste, Costa Rica in May-July 2011. We interviewed managers of dairy modules at Experiment Station Alfredo Volio Mata (EEAVM) at the University of Costa Rica and the Tropical Agricultural Research and Education (CATIE) plus five independent producers. Variables analyzed were social, technological and commercial awareness as well as the use of this breed. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and cluster analysis using SAS version 8.0. There were four groups called G1: Guanacaste producers, G2: EEAVM, G3: Cartago producer and G4: CATIE. The surface for these groups was 60±31.6, 24, 57 and 46 hectares with a united animal per hectare (AU ha-1) 0.6±0.1, 2.6, 0.7 and 4.1, respectively. Race Reyna is mainly used to establish Bos taurus and/or Bos indicus crosses in order to obtain adaptability and resistance to the environment. However, its use and management has been undermined by institutional policies, both legal and productive.

HPV causes genital warts, is associated with several cancers and disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities. Parents are typically unaware of male HPV vaccine; messages that might motivate them to get their preteenage sons vaccinated are unexplored. METHODS: Messages promoting vaccination of preteenage boys were designed and tested in 2009 and 2010. Five focus groups were conducted with 29 black parents of 11-12-year-old boys, recruited through three churches and a middle school in North Carolina, and a racially diverse sample of 100 parents of 9-13-year-old boys in a university-based adolescent health clinic was interviewed. A constant comparison method was used to code transcripts and interpret themes. Chi-square and t tests or analyses of variance were used to assess differences in quantitative data. RESULTS: Focus group parents knew little about HPV in males. Although concerned about safety and cost, parents supported vaccination for their sons. They wanted to see racial diversity and both parents in motivational materials. In interviews, 89% of parents reported never having heard of male HPV vaccine.

HPV causes genital warts, is associated with several cancers and disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities. Parents are typically unaware of male HPV vaccine; messages that might motivate them to get their preteenage sons vaccinated are unexplored. Methods: Messages promoting vaccination of preteenage boys were designed and tested in 2009 and 2010. Five focus groups were conducted with 29 black parents of 11–12-year-old boys, recruited through three churches and a middle school in North Carolina, and a racially diverse sample of 100 parents of 9–13-year-old boys in a university-based adolescent health clinic was interviewed. A constant comparison method was used to code transcripts and interpret themes. Chi-square and t tests or analyses of variance were used to assess differences in quantitative data. Results: Focus group parents knew little about HPV in males. Although concerned about safety and cost, parents supported vaccination for their sons. They wanted to see racial diversity and both parents in motivational materials. In interviews, 89% of parents reported never having heard of male HPV vaccine. The largest proportion said that a message stressing the prevalence and possible consequences of HPV infection was the most motivating (32%); the design favored by the largest proportion (43%) showed two parents. Conclusions: Messages that may most motivate parents to get preteenage boys vaccinated against HPV focus on infection risk and include images of parents with their sons.

AB - President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR's) response to the millions of children impacted by HIV/AIDS was to designate 10% of its budget to securing their futures, making it the leading supporter of programs reaching orphan and vulnerable children (OVC) programs globally. This article describes the evolution of PEPFAR's OVC response based on programmatic lessons learned and an evergrowing understanding of the impacts of HIV/AIDS. In launching this international emergency effort and transitioning it toward sustainable local systems, PEPFAR helped establish both the technical content and the central importance of care and support for OVC as a necessary complement to biomedical efforts to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Critical services are reaching millions of HFV-affected children and families through vast networks of community-based responders and strengthened national systems of care. But rapid program scale-up has at times resulted in inconsistent responses, failure to match resources to properly assessed needs, and a dearth of rigorous program evaluations. Key investments should continue to be directed toward more sustainable and effective responses. These include greater attention to children's most significant developmental stages, a focus on building the resilience of families and communities, a proper balance of government and civil society investments, and more rigorous evaluation and research to ensure evidence-based programming. Even as HIV prevalence declines and medical treatment improves and expands, the impacts of HIV/AIDS on children, families, communities, economies, and societies will continue to accumulate for generations. Protecting the full potential of children—and thus of societies—requires sustained and strategic global investments aligned with experience and science.

JO - Oryx JF - Oryx Y1 - 2012/10// VL - 46 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 593 EP - 597 SN - 00306053 AB - Camera traps are standard tools for assessing populations of medium–large terrestrial mammals, particularly for rare, elusive or cryptic species, yet few researchers have attempted to employ camera traps to document rare primates in arboreal settings. We examined different arboreal camera-trap techniques to document the Critically Endangered greater bamboo lemur Prolemur simus in Madagascar. We documented P. simus at two sites, confirming presence at one site. Most species, including 86% of all lemur occurrences, were documented in low light conditions (c. < 105 lux). Our study suggests that camera traps can be effective in validating unconfirmed sightings of rare or secretive primate species. We recommend that future work with cameras in arboreal settings considers seasonal activity patterns, targets sites with high food densities, uses local knowledge, and utilizes available techniques (e.g. traditional trapping techniques) and landscape topography to concentrate animal movement (e.g. steep slopes or ridge lines).

AB - Objectives: To strengthen the evidence-base for policy and practice for support of children outside of family care requires effective, efficient and sustainable mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation. Toward that end, two core questions guided a systematic review of evidence: What strategies are appropriate for monitoring the needs and circumstances of children outside of family care? What strategies are suitable for evaluating the impact of the programs intended to serve such children? Methods: A structured document search and review process was implemented within the context of the U.S. Government Evidence Summit on Protecting Children Outside of Family Care of December 2011. Through successive review phases, initially using structured screening criteria, followed by thematic review by an expert panel, 73 documents were identified for analysis. Results: Analysis of models and strategies indicates that: (1) tools are available for assessment of children’s needs, but require refining to accommodate contextual demands; (2) well-designed evaluations are able to identify the influence of assistance; (3) long-term follow-up is crucial to developing a strong evidence-base on effective strategies; and (4) insights into systems-wide monitoring mechanisms are emerging. In addition to describing key components of monitoring and evaluation strategies, findings draw attention to the evaluation of children’s resiliency and protective factors, community based monitoring and the role of caregivers, as well as concerns over the stigmatization of children (through data collection methodologies encouraging the ‘labeling’ of children) and the importance of children’s participation. Fostering a stronger evidence-base to improve protection for vulnerable children requires evaluations that are integrated into program development, use context-appropriate methodologies able to assess intervention scalability and employ more longitudinal designs to explore children’s trajectories. Further, future programming will benefit from systems-wide data coordination and international comparisons, research that emphasizes coping and resilience mechanisms, and children’s participation in monitoring and evaluation.

Research has indicated that HIV-infected Latinos may have difficulty adhering to ART. While studies have demonstrated strong relationships between numerous psychosocial factors and ART adherence, no research has examined if cultural factors are also involved in ART adherence among Latinos. Our study examined the relationship between acculturation to mainstream U.S. culture, bicultural self-efficacy, and ART adherence among HIV-infected Puerto Rican adults living in the United States. Participants with ≥95% adherence scored higher on U.S.- and Latino-involvement acculturation scales and on a measure of bicultural self-efficacy compared to those with suboptimal adherence. Among bicultural HIV-infected Puerto Ricans, both acculturation and self-efficacy to navigate between cultures were positively related to adherence. Understanding the role of an individual’s sociocultural experience may help elucidate why HIV-infected Latinos have difficulties achieving optimal ART adherence and improve ART adherence interventions.

These pine–oak forests are co-managed by a complex of community interests that include local peoples, a forestry cooperative, development agencies and national authorities. The pine–oak forests of Honduras form the largest eco-region in a country with the highest deforestation rates in Central America. A case study is presented that describes a community-based initiative situated within the context of community-based natural resource issues of power, participation, and local management. Insights are drawn from experiences in managing pine–oak forests within a complicated institutional framework with an aim to understand the socio-ecological landscape and to contribute to the ongoing dialogue regarding the role and definition of local community.

Currently, spawning surveys (redd counts) are a common tool used to monitor returning adult salmonids, but the methods are in their infancy for Pacific Lamprey. To better understand the spawning phase, our objective was to assess temporal spawning trends, redd abundance, habitat use, and spatial patterns of spawning at multiple spatial scales for Pacific Lamprey in the Willamette River basin, Oregon. Although redd density varied considerably across surveyed reaches, the observed temporal patterns of spawning were related to physical habitat and hydrologic conditions. As has been documented in studies in other basins in the Pacific Northwest, we found that redds were often constructed in pool tailouts dominated by gravel, similar to habitat used by spawning salmonids. Across the entire Willamette Basin, Pacific Lampreys appeared to select reaches with alluvial geology, likely because this is where gravel suitable for spawning accumulated. At the tributary scale, spawning patterns were not as strong, and in reaches with nonalluvial geology redds were more spatially clumped than in reaches with alluvial geology. These results can be used to help identify and conserve Pacific Lamprey spawning habitat across the Pacific Northwest.

AB - Objective: To identify treatment preferences, help-seeking steps, and responses from social support persons among women at risk for perinatal depression or anxiety. Design: Prospective descriptive survey of women at risk for depression or anxiety. Setting: Private hospital in central Ohio. Participants: From an original sample of 220 women recruited between the third trimester of pregnancy and 2 months postpartum, we selected 36 women reporting clinically significant levels of depressive or anxious symptoms to complete a telephone survey. An additional 17 family members were surveyed as identified social support persons. Methods: Two telephone interviews including survey and open-ended responses were administered to participants approximately 6 weeks apart. Social support persons also received survey interviews assessing their opinions about the participants’ mood changes. Results: More participants reported consulting friends and family about symptoms (83%) than consulting health care professionals (50%). However, most participants and their social support persons disagreed about the primary illness cause (66%). Approximately two thirds of participants recalled receipt of depression screening and feedback, but far fewer received referral or treatment via pharmacotherapy (36.1%) or psychotherapy (16.7%). Conclusion: Findings suggest screening and referral can be enhanced through expanding perinatal mental health education to target social support persons as they are often consulted by women when determining whether depression exists or should be treated. Further, a more active, personalized referral processes should be used routinely in addition to screening and education to facilitate appropriate treatment.

JO - Malaria Journal JF - Malaria Journal Y1 - 2013/06// VL - 12 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14752875 AB - Background: Malaria remains a substantial public health problem in Togo. An integrated child health campaign was conducted in Togo in October 2011. This campaign included a component of free distribution of 2,799,800 long-lasting, insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) to households throughout Togo. This distribution marked the first effort in Togo at universal LLIN coverage and was not targeted specifically to children under five years and pregnant women, but to all household members. This study reports the results of the LLIN distribution campaign in terms of bed net possession and utilization. Methods: A representative household survey was implemented during the rainy season nine months after the LLIN distribution component of the campaign. Some 6,015 households selected through two stages of probability proportion to size stratified random sampling were interviewed using a brief questionnaire that included a demographic section with questions on the number of household members and sleeping spaces, and a campaign participation section with questions used to evaluate non-LLIN aspects of the campaign. A net roster listed all nets and their characteristics, and a household roster listed all members and visitors with information about bed net use. The questions addressed different aspects of bed net and LLIN possession and utilization. Crude weighted frequencies, percentages, and t- tests of association were calculated using the Stata 12.0 Survey features. Results: Possession of at least one bed net and/or LLIN increased from 41.3% to 96.7% (P <0.001). Household possession of at least one campaign LLIN was 93.3%. Report LLIN among pregnant women was 77.5% and 79.3% for children under five. For the general population LLIN use was 68.3%. Conclusions: Due to the gap in LLIN possession and use and the significant number of individuals reporting a lack of nets as a reason for non-use, additional national LLIN distribution campaigns with a stronger educational component need to be implemented in order increase the use of available LLINs and to reach and maintain universal coverage of LLINs in Togo. The LLIN distribution campaign focusing on universal coverage of the general population in Togo was more successful at increasing LLIN possession and use of children under five years and pregnant women than other campaigns focusing only on these target groups.

Processing was carried out by combining nanometric sized α-Al2O3 (120nm) seeds and YSZ particles of tetragonal structure. The YSZ particles were homogeneously distributed in a coarse-grained matrix of alumina, both inside grains and along grain boundaries. Fracture surfaces, achieved by impact tests showed toughening effects of the zirconia particles. The tetragonality of the YSZ phase stability even after fracture events and fracture toughness measurements by Vickers indentation, where the crack tip interacts with YSZ particles, are all provided and discussed. The local mechanical properties, such as elastic modulus, indentation hardness and the onset of plastic deformation or fracture contact pressure of both YSZ particles and the Al2O3 matrix were quantified by nanoindentation. Evidence of coercive contact pressure was observed in YSZ from indentation stress–strain curves.

JO - Epidemiology & Infection JF - Epidemiology & Infection Y1 - 2013/10// VL - 141 IS - 10 M3 - Article SP - 2083 EP - 2093 SN - 09502688 AB - Cameroon has experienced recurrent cholera epidemics with high mortality rates. In September 2009, epidemic cholera was detected in the Far North region of Cameroon and the reported case-fatality rate was 12%. We conducted village-, healthcare facility- and community-level surveys to investigate reasons for excess cholera mortality. Results of this investigation suggest that cholera patients who died were less likely to seek care, receive rehydration therapy and antibiotics at a healthcare facility, and tended to live further from healthcare facilities. Furthermore, use of oral rehydration salts at home was very low in both decedents and survivors. Despite the many challenges inherent to delivering care in Cameroon, practical measures could be taken to reduce cholera mortality in this region, including the timely provision of treatment supplies, training of healthcare workers, establishment of rehydration centres, and promotion of household water treatment and enhanced handwashing with soap.

AB - Despite the high prevalence of HIV and STIs among women in Africa and the growing literature on HIV and STIs among women who have sex with women, research on the sexual health of women who have sex with women in Africa is scant. This study used mixed methods to describe sexual identity, practices and health among women who have sex with women in Lesotho. Most respondents (48%) described themselves as lesbian, 29% as bisexual and 23% as heterosexual. Almost half (45%) had disclosed their same-sex attraction to family, but only 25% had done so with healthcare workers. A total of 8% reported having HIV. Self-reported HIV was associated with having three or more male partners, having male and female partners at the same time and having a history of STIs. Gender norms, the criminalisation of homosexuality, varied knowledge of, and access to, safer-sex strategies, and mixed experiences of HIV/STI testing and sexual healthcare provided social and structural contexts for HIV- and STI-related vulnerability.

T1 - Symptomatic HIV-Positive Persons in Rural Mozambique Who First Consult a Traditional Healer Have Delays in HIV Testing. JO - JAIDS: Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes JF - JAIDS: Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes Y1 - 2014/08//8/1/2014 VL - 66 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - e80 EP - e86 SN - 15254135 AB - Delays in HIV diagnosis and initiation of antiretroviral therapy are common even among symptomatic individuals in Africa. We hypothesized that antiretroviral therapy delays might be more common if traditional healers (THs) were the first practitioners consulted.Cross-sectional study.We interviewed 530 newly diagnosed HIV-infected adults (≥18 years of age) who were clinically symptomatic at the time of HIV testing in 2 rural districts in Zambézia Province, Mozambique. We ascertained their previous health care seeking behavior, duration of their symptoms, CD4+ cell counts at the time of entry into care, and treatment provided by TH(s).Of 517 patients (97.5%) with complete histories, 62% sought care from a healer before presenting to the local health facility. The median time to first health facility visit from first relevant symptom was 2 months [interquartile range (IQR): 1-4.5] for persons who had not visited a healer, 3 months (IQR: 2-6) for persons visiting 1 healer, and 9 months (IQR: 5-12) for persons visiting >1 healer (P < 0.001). Healers diagnosed 56% of patients with a social or ancestral curse and treated 66% with subcutaneous herbal remedies. A nonsignificant trend toward lower CD4+ cells for persons who had seen multiple healers was noted.Seeking initial care from healers was associated with delays in HIV testing among symptomatic HIV-seropositive persons. We had no CD4 evidence that sicker patients bypass THs, a potential inferential bias. Engaging THs in a therapeutic alliance may facilitate the earlier diagnosis of HIV/AIDS.

AB - While academics and the press have paid significant and deserved attention to the issue of corporate social responsibility for a shift towards a more sustainable global economy, some have argued that there has been insufficient focus on the responsibility of the consumer. The authors explore this issue in this chapter, titled 'Consumer responsibility for sustainable consumption'. In an effort to inform and promote future research on consumers' responsibility for sustainable consumption, they introduce a simple five-item scale of 'consumers' felt responsibility for sustainability' (CFRS) that builds on Schwartz's concept of activated personal norms as 'felt obligation'. The chapter aims at demonstrating the value of the CFRS scale in predicting sustainable consumption behaviors. They also explore consumers' conception of sustainability as well as their beliefs about the distribution of responsibility for sustainability amongst consumers, companies and governments. In addition, the authors describe preliminary results of research that explores the antecedents of CFRS using established constructs related to consumers' mind set, ideology and values, and demographics. The chapter concludes with a discussion about how a greater focus on consumer responsibility in general can advance research on sustainable consumption.

T1 - Evaluation of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine for intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy: a retrospective birth outcomes study in Mansa, Zambia. JO - Malaria Journal JF - Malaria Journal Y1 - 2015/02// VL - 14 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 11 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14752875 AB - Background: Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) decreases placental parasitaemia, thus improving birth outcomes. Zambian policy recommends monthly SP-IPTp doses given presumptively during pregnancy at each antenatal examination, spaced one month apart after 16 weeks of gestation. The effectiveness of SP-IPTp was evaluated in Zambia where a recent study showed moderate prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum parasites with genetic mutations that confer SP resistance. Methods: HIV-negative women were enrolled at the time of delivery at two facilities in Mansa, Zambia, an area of high malaria transmission. Women were interviewed and SP exposure was determined by antenatal card documentation or self-reports. Using Poisson regression modelling, the effectiveness of SP-IPTp was evaluated for outcomes of parasitaemia (microscopic examination of maternal peripheral, cord, and placental blood films), maternal anaemia (Hb < 11 g/dl), placental infection (histopathology), and infant outcomes (low birth weight (LBW), preterm delivery, and small for gestational age) in women who took 0-4 doses of SP-IPTp. Results: Participants included 435 women, with a median age of 23 years (range 16-44). Thirty-four women took zero doses of SP-IPTp, while 115, 142 and 144 women took one, two, or ≥ three doses, respectively. Multivariate Poisson regression models considering age, mosquito net usage, indoor residual spraying, urban home, gravidity, facility, wet season delivery, and marital status showed that among paucigravid women ≥ two doses of SP-ITPp compared to one or less doses was associated with a protective effect on LBW (prevalence ratio (PR) 0.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.12-0.91) and any infection (PR 0.76, CI 0.58-0.99). Multivariate models considering SP-IPTp as a continuous variable showed a protective dose-response association with LBW (paucigravid women: PR 0.54, CI 0.33-0.90, multigravid women: PR 0.63, CI 0.41-0.97). Conclusions: In Mansa, Zambia, an area of moderate SP resistance, ≥ two doses of SP-IPTp were associated with a protective effect from malaria in pregnancy, especially among paucigravid women. Each dose of SP-IPTp contributed to a 46 and 37% decrease in the frequency of LBW among paucigravid and multigravid women, respectively. SP-IPTp remains a viable strategy in this context.

Methods Home care providers conducted weekly sweeps of every household in their village throughout the transmission season to identify patients with symptoms of malaria, perform rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) on symptomatic patients and provide treatment for positive cases. The model was implemented in 15 villages from July to November 2013, the high transmission season. Fifteen comparison villages were chosen from those implementing Senegal's original, passive model of community case management of malaria. Three sweeps were conducted in the comparison villages to compare prevalence of symptomatic malaria using difference in differences analysis. Results At baseline, prevalence of symptomatic malaria confirmed by RDT for all symptomatic individuals found during sweeps was similar in both sets of villages ( P = 0.79). At end line, prevalence was 16 times higher in the comparison villages than in the intervention villages ( P = 0.003). Adjusting for potential confounders, the intervention was associated with a 30-fold reduction in odds of symptomatic malaria in the intervention villages (AOR = 0.033; 95% CI: 0.017, 0.065). Treatment seeking also increased in the intervention villages, with 57% of consultations by home care providers conducted between sweeps through routine community case management. Conclusions This pilot study suggests that community-based proactive case detection reduces symptomatic malaria prevalence, likely through more timely case management and improved care seeking behaviour. A randomised controlled trial is needed to further evaluate the impact of this model. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Objetivos Hemos pilotado un modelo de detección de casos de malaria proactivo y comunitario, en Senegal rural, para evaluar si este modelo puede aumentar las pruebas realizadas y el tratamiento, y reducir la prevalencia de malaria sintomática en comunidades específicas. Métodos Los trabajadores comunitarios realizaron visitas semanales a cada hogar en su poblado a lo largo de la temporada de transmisión para identificar pacientes con síntomas de malaria, realizar pruebas diagnósticas rápidas a los pacientes sintomáticos y proveer tratamientos para casos positivos. El modelo se implementó en 15 poblados entre Julio y Noviembre del 2013, el periodo de alta transmisión. Se escogieron como controles 15 poblados entre aquellos en los que se implementaba el modelo senegalés original, un modelo comunitario de manejo pasivo de casos de malaria. Se realizaron tres rondas en los poblados controles para comparar la prevalencia de malaria sintomática utilizando diferentes análisis. Resultados Al inicio del estudio, la prevalencia de malaria sintomática confirmada mediante pruebas diagnósticas rápidas en todos los individuos sintomáticos encontrados durante las rondas, era similar en los poblados de ambos grupos ( P = 0.79). Al final del estudio, la prevalencia era 16 veces mayor en los poblados control que en los poblados con intervención ( P = 0.003). Ajustando para posibles factores de confusión, la intervención estaba asociada con una reducción de 30 veces en la probabilidad de malaria sintomática en los poblados con intervención ( AOR= 0.033; IC 95%: 0.017, 0.065). La búsqueda de tratamiento también aumentó en los poblados con intervención, con un 57% de las consultas realizadas por los trabajadores comunitarios en los hogares entre las rondas de seguimiento mediante el manejo rutinario de casos. Conclusiones Este estudio piloto sugiere que la detección proactiva de casos basada en la comunidad reduce la prevalencia sintomática de malaria, al parecer mediante un manejo de casos más oportuno y una mejoría en la conducta de búsqueda de atención sanitaria. Se requiere un ensayo aleatorizado y controlado para evaluar el impacto de este modelo.

Méthodes Les fournisseurs de soins à domicile ont effectué des tournées de visites hebdomadaires dans tous les ménages de leur village pendant la saison de transmission afin d'identifier les patients avec des symptômes de paludisme, d'effectuer des tests de diagnostic rapide sur les patients symptomatiques et de procurer des traitements aux cas positifs. Le modèle a été mis en œuvre dans 15 villages de juillet à novembre 2013, la saison de transmission élevée. 15 villages de comparaison ont été choisis parmi ceux appliquant le modèle original sénégalais de prise en charge communautaire passive des cas de paludisme. Trois tournées ont été menées dans les villages de comparaison pour comparer la prévalence du paludisme symptomatique en utilisant l'analyse de la différence des différences. Résultats Au départ, la prévalence du paludisme symptomatique confirmé par les tests de diagnostic rapide pour tous les individus symptomatiques trouvés lors des tournées était similaire dans les deux groupes de villages ( P = 0,79). En fin d'étude, elle était 16 fois plus élevée dans les villages de comparaison que dans les villages d'intervention ( P = 0,003). En ajustant pour les facteurs confusionnels potentiels, l'intervention a été associée à une réduction de 30 fois la probabilité de paludisme symptomatique dans les villages d'intervention ( AOR = 0,033; IC95%: 0,017 à 0,065). Les recherches de traitement ont également augmentées dans les villages d'intervention, avec 57% des consultations effectuées par les fournisseurs de soins à domicile entre les tournées, dans la prise en charge communautaire de routine des cas. Conclusions Cette étude pilote suggère que la détection proactive communautaire des cas réduit la prévalence du paludisme symptomatique, probablement par la prise en charge plus à temps des cas et une amélioration du comportement de recherche de soins. Un essai contrôlé randomisé est nécessaire pour évaluer davantage l'impact de ce modèle.

JO - Atmosphere JF - Atmosphere Y1 - 2015/12/23/ VL - 6 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1858 EP - 1870 AB - This study was conducted from May 25 to June 6, 2009 at a downtown location (Centro) and an urban sector (Miravalle) site in the Metropolitan Zone of Guadalajara (MZG) in Mexico. The atmospheric concentrations of PM2.5 and its elemental and inorganic components were analyzed to identify their potential sources during the warm dry season. The daily measurements of PM2.5 (24 h) exceeded the WHO (World Health Organization) air quality guidelines (25 µg⋅m -3). The most abundant element was found to be Fe, accounting for 59.8% and 72.2% of total metals mass in Centro and Miravalle, respectively. The enrichment factor (EF) analysis showed a more significant contribution of non-crustal sources to the elements in ambient PM2.5 in Centro than in the Miravalle site. Particularly, the highest enrichment of Cu suggested motor vehicle-related emissions in Centro. The most abundant secondary ionic species (NO3- ; SO42- and NH4+) and the ratio NO3- /SO42- corroborated the important impact of mobile sources to fine particles at the sampling sites. In addition, the ion balance indicated that particles collected in Miravalle experienced neutralization processes likely due to a higher contribution of geological material. Other important contributors to PM2.5 included biomass burning by emissions transported from the forest into the city.

JO - Malaria Journal JF - Malaria Journal Y1 - 2016/02/19/ VL - 15 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 12 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14752875 AB - Background: A key goal of malaria control is to achieve universal access to, and use of, long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) among people at risk for malaria. Quantifying the number of LLINs needed to achieve and maintain universal coverage requires knowing when nets need replacement. Longitudinal studies have observed physical deterioration in LLINs well before the assumed net lifespan of 3 years. The objective of this study was to describe attrition, physical integrity and insecticide persistence of LLINs over time to assist with better quantification of nets needing replacement. Methods: 999 LLINs distributed in 2011 in two highly endemic provinces in Zambia were randomly selected, and were enrolled at 12 months old. LLINs were followed every 6 months up to 30 months of age. Holes were counted and measured (finger, fist, and head method) and a proportional hole index (pHI) was calculated. Households were surveyed about net care and repair and if applicable, reasons for attrition. Functional survival was defined as nets with a pHI <643 and present for follow-up. At 12 and 24 months of age, 74 LLINs were randomly selected for examination of insecticidal activity and content using bioassay and chemical analysis methods previously described by the World Health Organization (WHO). Results: A total of 999 LLINs were enrolled; 505 deltamethrin-treated polyester nets and 494 permethrin-treated polyethylene nets. With 74 used to examine insecticide activity, 925 were available for full follow-up. At 30 months, 325 (33 %) LLINs remained. Net attrition was primarily due to disposal (29 %). Presence of repairs and use over a reed mat were significantly associated with larger pHIs. By 30 months, only 56 % of remaining nets met criteria for functional survival. A shorter functional survival was associated with having been washed. At 24 months, nets had reduced insecticidal activity (57 % met WHO minimal criteria) and content (5 % met WHO target insecticide content). Conclusions: The median functional survival time for LLINs observed the study was 2.5-3 years and insecticide activity and content were markedly decreased by 2 years. A bette measure of net survival incorporating insecticidal field effectiveness, net physical integrity, and attrition is needed.

Urbanization, human population growth and expanded global travel have resulted in an increase in the incidence of dengue worldwide. International travellers to areas with endemic dengue are at risk of contracting dengue and US Peace Corps Volunteers are one specific group of long-term travellers who are exposed to environments where dengue can be contracted.Methods: Cases of dengue among Peace Corps Volunteers, defined as clinically apparent infections with laboratory-confirmation by a positive NS1 antigen test, demonstration of IgM antibodies or by a 4-fold increase in IgG antibodies, between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2014, reported to the Peace Corps’ Epidemiologic Surveillance System were analyzed.Results: Overall there were 1448 cases of dengue reported among Volunteers, with an incidence rate of 1.12 cases per 1000 Volunteer-months (95% CI 1.06-1.17). The highest rate of dengue among Volunteers was reported in the Caribbean region, with a rate of 5.51 cases per 1000 Volunteer-months (95% CI 4.97-6.10), followed by the East Asia/South Asia region (3.34, 95% CI 2.96-3.75) and Central America (2.55, 95% CI 2.32-2.79). The rate of dengue peaked in 2007, 2010 and 2013. Each peak year was followed by a trough year.Conclusions: Globally, there appears to be a 3-year cyclical pattern of dengue incidence among Volunteers, with differences by region. Dengue continues to be a priority health issue for travellers to endemic areas, and enhanced surveillance of dengue among international travellers may result in improved patient education and prevention efforts.

JO - Transactions of the ASABE JF - Transactions of the ASABE Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 59 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 455 EP - 463 SN - 21510032 AB - Using x-ray computed tomography (CT) for non-destructive 3-D imaging and analysis of soil physical properties has been investigated for over 30 years. However, applying this system in soil science has remained a specialized research area using primarily low-resolution medical-grade x-ray CT units that were not designed for soil analysis applications. The main research objectives were to characterize and compare physical properties of soil core samples from long-term chisel plow (CP) and no-till (NT) agricultural field management sites using a high-resolution industrial-grade x-ray CT unit and two conventional soil laboratory method (SLM) soil macroporosity analysis procedures. Field research activities during 1999 included collecting four soil columns for each CP and NT soil management practice at the Iowa State University Northeast Research and Demonstration Farm at Nashua, Iowa. Findings from this study indicate that percent macroporosity and soil bulk density values were significantly higher and lower, respectively, for annual CP rowcrop (corn and soybean) versus annual NT rowcrop systems. Since the soil structure of perennial NT vegetation (native grasses and trees) is similar to CP, rowcrop practices could explain inconsistent soil hydraulic conductivity values from NT cropping systems. These results underscore the potential of x-ray CT as an effective soil porosity analysis tool and suggest the development of an online database of x-ray CT 3-D soil core images based on soil type and tillage system. This readily available information could aid scientists in soil structural analysis applications, potentially avoiding the limitations of x-ray CT unit cost and system availability issues.

JO - Malaria Journal JF - Malaria Journal Y1 - 2016/04/26/ VL - 15 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 10 PB - BioMed Central SN - 14752875 AB - Background: Malaria causes significant morbidity in Malawi, with an estimated 5 million cases in 2014. Artemetherlumefantrine (AL) and artesunate-amodiaquine (ASAQ) are the first- and second-line treatments for uncomplicated malaria, respectively, but emerging resistance threatens their efficacy. In order to understand whether AL and ASAQ remain efficacious for the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Malawi, a therapeutic efficacy trial was conducted. Methods: During March-July 2014, febrile children aged 6-59 months with microscopy-confirmed uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria (1000-200,000 parasites/μL) were enrolled in a 28-day randomized in vivo efficacy trial at three sites: one each in northern (Karonga), central (Nkhotakota) and southern (Machinga) Malawi. The study was powered to estimate site-specific efficacy for AL and overall efficacy for ASAQ, with 3:1 randomization to AL or ASAQ. Blood was collected for malaria microscopy and molecular testing on days 0-3, 7, 14, 21, and 28. Recrudescence and reinfection were differentiated using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping of merozoite surface protein. The primary outcome was the PCR-corrected day 28 Kaplan-Meier cumulative success rate. Results: A total of 452 children were enrolled; 303/338 (89 %) and 98/114 (86 %) reached a study endpoint in AL and ASAQ arms, respectively. All treatment failures occurred after day 3. The day 28 uncorrected cumulative success rate was 97.1 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 93.9-100 %) for ASAQ and 76.8 % (95 % CI 72.1-81.5 %) for AL, with 82.5 % (95 % CI 75.4-89.7 %), 69 % (95 % CI 59.9-78.1 %), and 78.2 % (95 % CI 70.2-86.3 %) success in the northern, central, and southern regions, respectively. The day 28 PCR-corrected cumulative success rate was 99 % (95 % CI 97.2-100 %) in the ASAQ arm and 99.3 % (95 % CI 98.3-100 %) in the AL arm, with 98-100 % efficacy in each site. Conclusions: As evidenced by the day 28 PCR-corrected cumulative success rates, both AL and ASAQ remain efficacious treatments for uncomplicated malaria in Malawi. The lower uncorrected efficacy in the AL arm compared to ASAQ may be explained by the shorter half-life of lumefantrine (3-6 days) compared to amodiaquine (9-18 days). The high reinfection rate suggests that there is a continued need to scale-up effective malaria prevention interventions.

A study done by Janmohamed et al. found chronic kidney disease in 83.7 % of diabetics which is relatively higher than the prevalence reported elsewhere. However this study was conducted in schistosoma endemic area along the shores of Lake Victoria. Schistosomiasis has been reported to cause a range of renal diseases. Interpretation of these findings should therefore take into account the possibility of schistosomiasis as a possible confounder.

Artisanal fisheries, an important source of income and food stability, are greatly affected by ENSO. The relationship between ENSO climate variation and the abundance of previously unstudied commercially important species to the artisanal fishery in Ica, Peru was analyzed using generalized additive models fitted to catch per unit effort (CPUE) data. We found that the immediate availability of Peruvian rock seabass (Paralabraxhumeralis), Lorna drum (Sciaena deliciosa) and Minor stardrum (Stellifer minor) increased during cold water La Niña events. ENSO also produced long-term changes in the abundance of fisheries resources up to two years after ENSO events. In the case of Cabinza grunt (Isaciaconceptionis), CPUE was elevated 6 months to two years after La Niña events. While for other species like Flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) and P. humeralis, CPUE decreased between six months and two years after La Niña events. However, variation in the deviance explained between models indicates that the relative importance of ENSO as an environmental driver is species specific. This information can be used to assist in the development of management strategies of commercially important species in the Pacific Southeast and inform on the impacts of climate variation on artisanal fisheries. However, further study is warranted to examine the underlying mechanisms.

La pesquería artesanal es una fuente importante de ingresos económicos y seguridad alimentaria que se ve fuertemente afectada por el ciclo de ENOS. La relación entre ENOS y la disponibilidad y abundancia de especies de importancia en la pesquería artesanal en Ica, Perú fueron analizados usando modelos aditivos generalizados (GAMs) ajustados a datos de captura por unidad de esfuerzo (CPUE). Se determinó que la disponibilidad inmediata de cabrilla (Paralabrax humeralis), lorna (Sciaena deliciosa) y mojarrilla (Stellifer minor) fueron desfavorecidos por eventos fríos de La Niña. También ENOS cambió la abundancia de recursos pesqueros hasta dos años después del evento. En el caso de cabinza (Isacia conceptionis), su CPUE se incrementó desde los 6 meses hasta los dos años tras eventos de La Niña; mientras que para P. humeralis y lisa (Mugil cephalus), los eventos de La Niña desfavorecieron la presencia de mayores tasas de CPUE entre 6 meses y dos años después. Sin embargo, la variación de la desviación explicada entre los modelos indica que la importancia relativa de ENOS como un controlador ambiental dependiente de la especie. Esta información puede ser utilizada para desarrollar estrategias de manejo de especies de importancia comercial en el Pacífico Sudoriental e informar sobre los impactos de la variación climática sobre la pesca artesanal. No obstante, más información es necesaria para entender los mecanismos subyacentes.

AB - Objectives: The extractive industries have contributed to the economic and social development of Latin America and the Caribbean for centuries. We have undertaken a narrative review to assess the role of the health authority in the decision-making process as it relates to extractive industry projects.Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted with a keyword search conducted using PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Google. This was complemented with manual searches of relevant journals and reference lists of primary articles.Results: A broad body of literature from Latin America and the Caribbean region provides evidence that the public health of communities engaged in extractive industry is not being assured and that significant gaps exist in aligning public and private sector efforts to improve health.Conclusions: Inclusion of the health authority in impact assessment has the potential to result in lasting positive effects on communities involved directly and indirectly in the extractive industry, while preventing a large range of potential adverse health impacts.

However, inequitable distribution of costs and benefits in communities surrounding protected areas can negatively impact livelihoods, increase wealth disparities and create conflict. To examine the potential for conflict between host communities involved in a community-based conservation program and neighbouring (non-host) communities, we explored local residents’ attitudes towards conservation at Tiwai Island Wildlife Sanctuary (TIWS) in Sierra Leone. Intercept surveys (n = 368) were conducted in 18 villages (eight host, ten non-host) within 8 km of TIWS during 2010. Results revealed significant differences between residents of the host and non-host villages with respect to attitudes towards resource use and overall support for site protection. The most substantial discrepancies centred on perceived benefits associated with TIWS, and these drastically different perspectives generated a high potential for conflict. To minimize conflict and foster broader community support for conservation, managers must carefully consider how benefits associated with protected areas are communicated and distributed across protected area-proximate landscapes.

JO - Emergency Medicine International JF - Emergency Medicine International Y1 - 2016/11/03/ M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 7 SN - 20902840 AB - Registered General Nurses (RGNs) play crucial roles in emergency departments (EDs). EDs in Ghana are primarily staffed by RGNs who have had no additional formal education in emergency care. Additionally, basic, master’s, or doctoral level nursing education programs provide limited content on the complexities of emergency nursing. Nurses in EDs are affected by many challenges such as growing patient population, financial pressures, physical violence, verbal abuse, operational inefficiencies, overcrowding, and work overload. There is a paucity of research on challenges experienced by RGNs in EDs in the Volta Region of Ghana. In this qualitative study, twenty RGNs in EDs from three selected hospitals in the Volta Region of Ghana were interviewed. All recorded interviews were transcribed, reviewed several times by researchers and supervisors, and analyzed using content analysis. Five thematic categories were identified. These thematic categories of challenges were lack of preparation for ED role, verbal abuse from patients relatives, lack of resources in ED, stressful and time consuming nature of ED, and overcrowding in ED. Formal education of RGNs in the advanced role of emergency care, adequate supply of resources, increased hospital management support, and motivations for RGNs working in ED are necessary to improve the practice of emergency care.

Mercy Ships is a non-governmental organisation providing free healthcare education in sub-Saharan Africa and in an attempt to reach more rural areas of Madagascar with our neonatal resuscitation training we designed a novel approach in collaboration with US Peace Corps Volunteers (PCV). PCVs work in rural areas and contribute to locally determined public health initiatives. Method: We used a model of knowledge translation and implementation to train non-medical PCVs in HBB who would then train rural healthcare workers. Bulb suction and a self-inflating bag were donated to each health centre. We evaluated knowledge translation and behaviour change at 4 months using the Kirkpatrick model of evaluation. Results: Ten PCVs received training and then trained 42 healthcare workers in 10 rural health centres serving a combined population of over 1 million. Both PCVs and rural healthcare workers showed significant increases in knowledge and skills (p < 0.001). The commonest behaviour changes persisting at 4 months were adequate preparation before delivery; use of rubbing and drying as a means of stimulation instead of foot tapping or back slapping; and use of the self-inflating bag to give respirations. Anecdotal evidence of changes in neonatal outcome were reported in several health care centres. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that non-medically trained PCVs can be used to successfully train rural healthcare workers in newborn resuscitation using the HBB algorithm and this results in improvements in personal and organizational practice at 4 months, including anecdotal evidence of improved patient outcome. Our novel method of training, including the provision of essential equipment, may be another tool in the armamentarium of those seeking to disseminate good practice to the most rural areas.

Landless or smallholder farmers are less likely to adopt or use long-term soil management practices such as green manure and cover crop technologies. The purpose was to examine factors affecting adoption of green manure and cover crop technologies among Paraguayan smallholder farmers. Farmer training events, access to green manure and cover crop information, social participation, technical assistance (extension), and using chemical fertilizer significantly influenced, albeit weakly, farmers’ adoption of conservation agriculture practices. The results support further research to effectively refine agricultural adoption modeling.

AB - Objectives: The extractive industries have contributed to the economic and social development of Latin America and the Caribbean for centuries. We have undertaken a narrative review to assess the role of the health authority in the decision-making process as it relates to extractive industry projects.Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted with a keyword search conducted using PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Google. This was complemented with manual searches of relevant journals and reference lists of primary articles.Results: A broad body of literature from Latin America and the Caribbean region provides evidence that the public health of communities engaged in extractive industry is not being assured and that significant gaps exist in aligning public and private sector efforts to improve health.Conclusions: Inclusion of the health authority in impact assessment has the potential to result in lasting positive effects on communities involved directly and indirectly in the extractive industry, while preventing a large range of potential adverse health impacts.
