The storage, usage and knowledge about the hazardous chemicals are important aspects of safety measures employed in Medical Laboratories. This comparative study explores the differences in safety measures and knowledge of chemical safety among laboratory employees in Public (PBL) and Private (PRL) Hospital medical laboratories. This cross-sectional study was conducted in randomly selected Public and Private Hospital laboratories in Buraydah, Al Qassim, in 2013. The study was designed to: estimate the proportion and types of the hazardous chemicals used in the laboratories with a chemicals list; to assess safety measures currently being practiced with a standard chemical safety measures checklist; and to assess laboratory employee awareness on chemical safety with an interview schedule. Public Laboratories showed better results as compared to the Private Laboratories, in that their employees were more disciplined in wearing Personal Protection Equipment, and the laboratory was active in managing chemical accidents and its consequences. Whereas the Private Laboratories had better results on four aspects, namely: better storage and handling of hazardous chemicals; neutralizing hazardous chemicals; better precautions established for hazardous chemical use; and better assessment of chemical toxicity, as compared to the Public Laboratories. There were subtle differences between the Public and Private medical laboratories on chemical safety measures. The differences recorded were mainly in storage and handling of hazardous chemicals; the proportion and types of hazardous chemicals used; employee discipline on chemical safety measures; assessment of chemical toxicity; and in managing chemical accidents in the laboratories.

To know the indoor pollution is necessary to get information about outdoor pollution and meteorological conditions. In this work, the outdoor data coming from a mesoscale meteorological and air quality simulation with WRF/Chem. Effects on health of different ventilation modes and indoor emission scenarios have been analyzed for the NO2 and PM2.5 pollutants. A general office building located in Madrid has been simulated with the EnergyPlus model during full year 2016.  The energy model includes the Generic Contaminant Model so the simulation system is an integrated framework for indoor pollution and energy demand. Results show that when the emitting sources are active, ventilation through windows improves health and if there are no active sources, the health of the building occupants is slightly deteriorated by the outdoor pollution. Ventilation during all year increases the demand of gas for heating four times. The health impacts of emitting sources are highest in the warm months due to the operation of the air conditioning system. The health impact of indoor emission sources is higher than the outdoor pollution. People in the zone where the emitting sources are located would experience a mortality and morbidity of 2.5 times more than in the non-emitting zones.

This study aimed at determining the effect of older people’s adaptation to old age on their health-related quality of life. This descriptive study was conducted with 250 older people that applied to the outpatient clinics of the Research and Training Hospital of Aksaray University between the dates of 15 January and 15 June 2017. The study data were collected by using an introductory information form, “Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly (ASADE)” and “Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)”. The study data were assessed by using descriptive statistical methods, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Spearman Correlation Test and multilinear regression model. This study found that older people’s adaptation to old age and their health-related quality of life were at a good level. As their score from ASADE increased, their score from NHP increased (r=0.742, p<0.001). In addition, adaptation to old age, gender and expressed health status had a statistically significant on the quality of life (p<0.005). We suggest that the health personnel assess adaptation to old age, which is one of the factors affecting the quality of life, and increase the quality of life by conducting interventions to increase the adaptation to old age.Article DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.20319/lijhls.2018.43.1425 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-commercial 4.0 International License.

Therefore, the study of CDSS form an important field of information technology (IT) used in health care industry. Diagnosis and decision making form an integral part of CDSS. Based on the healthcare data and patient’s medical history, CDSS performs recommendation, which helps healthcare professionals to diagnose properly and make clinical decisions accordingly. In this paper, we present analysis and review of prescribing CDSS within the context of the secondary sector of the United Kingdom (UK) National Health Service (NHS). It was observed that prescribing CDSS enhances the safety of patients by reducing medication errors that occur during traditional prescribing (non-electronic prescribing). The reduction of medical errors is due to the efficiency of prescribing CDSS in facilitating health care providers with a holistic view of patient health records and any drug allergy or drug-drug interactions. This study showed that successful adoption of CDSS within the NHS secondary sector faces challenges such as physician acceptance, training, and interoperability.

This study explored the lessons learnt from establishing SFZs in Sri Lanka and both qualitative and qualitative approaches were employed. There were 53 SFZs from 20 Districts that were studied, and the study consisted with three components. Chi – square test was performed to study the relationships between variables and qualitative data was analyzed through the framework analyzing method. All studied SFZs focused on reducing the availability of tobacco products by mobilizing retailers parallel to creating awareness among the stakeholders. The mean time taken to reach the maximum success is 9 (±8) months and mean sustained period is 16 (±12) months. Forty nine factors for establishing SFZs were identified and six factors have had statistically significant relationship with sustainability. Furthermore, ten constructive groups and twelve destructive groups as well as fifteen reasons for deteriorating the successes were encountered. Ten steps process for establishing SFZs in Sri Lanka was also Introduced. The study recommends employing the introduced 10 steps process to establishing SFZs in Sri Lanka and develops the strengths and opportunities while minimizing the weaknesses and threats to create a supportive environment prior to establishing SFZs and pay continuous attention  on the reasons for deteriorating success to improve the sustainability.

Merrill) belongs. Soybean is mainly important because of its high protein and oil content. A field experiment was conducted in Debrecen, Hungary in 2017. Three soybean cultivars, different in maturity timing (very early-, early-, and middle-timing cultivars), were grown under two irrigation regimes; non-irrigated (NI) and fully-irrigated (FI) regime, in order to study the effect of water deficiency on the physiology and the yield of the above-mentioned cultivars. The yield of the three cultivars was increased when irrigation was applied, and though the increase was insignificant, yet the physiological traits were noticeably, and significantly in certain traits, different between the two irrigation regimes. It was concluded that water deficiency affects the physiology and the yield of soybean, and that the effect output is cultivar-dependent. More traits at different growth stages are needed to best understand water deficiency influence on soybean.

The healthcare system is challenging in India, particularly because of huge population size, economic and social factors coupled with the rising burden of both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Capital and technology perhaps are the most necessary conditions for achieving health gains, but experience in many countries confirms that they are not sufficient. Organizations must combine financial, physical and human resources for better performance. Public hospitals are heavily utilized by lower income groups of the society, up to ninety percent in case of free patients. While this is a good indication of the level of access of people to public health facilities, this also casts an obligation on the Government to improve their infrastructure and systems. Reports of numerous patients dying due to lack of oxygen supply in wards or wrong sterilization procedures, patients delayed admission and treatment due to shortage of medical staff or unavailability of necessary drugs and equipments in the hospital is prevalent. The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the quality of sanitation and care of a tertiary level public healthcare facility in India. Data was collected from the inpatients and support staff of the hospital by using standard instruments. All ethical guidelines were fulfilled. Infrastructural scarcity and manpower allocation were a major issue. Staffs were significantly more negative in rating many aspects of hospital services.  The researcher recommends accountability based work environment, periodic training modules for health workers, policy and infrastructural changes for improvement of the healthcare facilities.

Using mineral fertilization was introduced as a proposed solution to overcome the food gap resulted from the above-mentioned factors, but the negative effects of the mineral fertilization on both soil environment and food quality makes it necessary to come out with alternative solutions. Legume crops are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen by the symbiosis process, which reduces the need of mineral N. Soybean is one of the most important legumes with its high content of protein and oil, but is drought-susceptible. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of both drought stress and mineral N on the physiology and the yield of two soybean cultivars during 2017 growing season. The results showed that applying N-fertilizer enhanced the physiology of soybean plants, especially under drought conditions; yet, high rates of N-fertilizer did not result in better yield. It was concluded that the effects of drought stress on soybean are more serious and obvious than of the N fertilization.
