The main activity in Matoh Village is the cultivation of cocoa cash crop which is demanded both nationally and internationally. Despite the time dedicated by the farmers to their farms, it is regrettable that most of them are still poverty stricken. Moreover, the area is almost unreachable during the heart of the rainy season due to the poor state of the roads. This, therefore, hinders the convey of chemicals to the farmers and also hampers the transportation of farm produce to nearby markets. Worst still, the enclave nature of the area has dampened the chances of the farmers being exposed to modern farming techniques. This work therefore, addresses the challenges faced by this agricultural community and call upon development stakeholders and people of good cheer to make their valuable contributions such that these farmers could valorise their farm produce and thus improve their well-being. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Developing countries and Africa has witnessed the increasing emergence of chronic diseases particularly non communicable diseases yet the health system infrastructure remains weak and mostly incapable of managing and treating such diseases when detected at clinical stage. Early detection has proved to be effective in reducing morbidity and mortality rates of chronic diseases. England, Wales, Denmark, Norway and other countries have recorded declines in cancer deaths on account of increased check up. In Africa however, check up levels are low due to demand and supply side constraints. A study on factors influencing demand for medical check up among staff of Africa Medical and Research Foundation and Kenya Medical Training College in Nairobi, Kenya found that less than half reported to have gone for check up at least once in a year prior to the study. Main motivation was knowledge of benefits of early disease detection and main hindrance was lack of knowledge of early detection of diseases which again emphasizes need for awareness. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A common problem, that is facing clinicians, is the difficulty in adequately comparing the impact of different dosing practices on the clinical efficacy and toxicity profile of chemotherapy in obese cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity profile of CAF chemotherapy administered to obese breast cancer female patients. Doses were calculated according to either the ideal or actual body surface area (BSA). Prescribing the dose based on ideal BSA resulted in much better toxicity profile without any statistical significant difference regarding treatment failure, disease free survival or overall survival. Further controlled, powered, prospective randomized trials are needed to specifically investigate the most appropriate tool for calculating the chemotherapy dosage in obese patients. Concrete efforts and substantial investment on the part of policymakers, educators, clinicians, employers, and schools to promote physical activity and healthful dietary practices as a cultural norm is of utmost importance to maintain normal body weight, and should be set as a global public health priority 104 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Hospital organizational performance has been largely defined by administrative data comprised of tangible financial records. Though important, the hospital environment of care is arguably represented by multiple inter-professional and intangible factors that influence patient outcomes that are not cost-driven but service-oriented. In the absence of uniform standards that address common problems across diverse health care facilities such as the association of medical equipment with adverse events, hospital administrators must view alternative methods to measure effectiveness, efficiency, and equity. One method is to examine the inter-professional impact of the Biomedical Engineering Technician (BMET) occupation in the hospital Clinical Engineering Department on the level of hospital quality in the environment of care. The proposition is premised on the knowledge that 1) the BMET duties are associated with medical equipment status, and 2) the availability of properly functioning, clean, and timely access to medical equipment that is central to healthcare. A major recommendation is the implementation of coordinated care across clinical and non-clinical health occupations. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides guidance for regulatory measures which enable the introduction of cognitive radio in the near future. These measures should be globally harmonised in order to allow the same principles and rules to be used with cognitive radio systems (CRS) around the world. Regulatory measures rely on the capabilities of CRS to detect and monitor spectrum in order to avoid existing usage. Based on this information CRS may operate, however, it should not cause harmful interference to existing usage. Regulation should take into account these requirements of shared use. There are a number of questions related to regulatory measures for the introduction of cognitive radio systems. These questions require comprehensive studies and field tests to verify proper functionality. In 2007 the radio communication conference of ITU (WRC-07) approved an agenda item for the conference of 2012 where the regulatory measures to introduce software defined radio and cognitive radio should be studied. The introduction of the CRS relies heavily on the results of WRC-12. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Using them interchangeably under such circumstances can lead in misleading description of nature and properties of the molecules . . . In lower level, students usually assume that compounds containing toxic elements like cadmium, mercury and lead are toxic too! In the same level, many believe that all metallic atoms are hard and all non metals are soft (Tsaparlis, 2002). On the other hand senior high school students and even university freshmen were found to have certain misconceptions on the difference between chemical and physical change (Jensen, 1998) . . .This implies that diagnostic tests like multiple choice items and two-tier tests are less efficient in exactly figuring out the extent of students misconceptions. As a result such tests are not potential enough to discriminate misconception from lack of knowledge 92 pp. Englisch.…
