Garbage problem

By Isabel Ovalle

he challenge of waste management is global, and Qatar is no stranger to it, with its residents generating over T871,000 tonnes of domestic waste in 2012. The maximum of daily waste registered last year reached a peak of 2,620 tonnes, a number that the year before did not surpass 2,443 tonnes. The Ministry of Environment informed that in 2011 the domestic waste collected reached 811,543 tonnes. A simple equation reveals that the amount of domestic waste produced in Qatar, like the country’s popula- tion, has increased. The garbage generated in local homes grew in over 7 percent from 2011 to 2012, when the number of collected tonnes was of 871,608. Engineer Mansoor Saleh Bu Mattar Al Muhannadi, Manager at Waste Treatment Centre of the Ministry of Environment, explained that the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning -General Cleaning Project- is responsible for the collection of domestic garbage. “The waste is delivered to the new trans- fer stations, under the management of the Ministry of Environment, to later be moved to the new Domestic Solid Wastes Management Centre (DSWMC). The centre has its own facility to separate waste,” he clarified. Qatar has only one landfill for domestic waste located in Mesaieed, in the Southern side of the country. “The landfill is the final destination of domestic wastes, around 800 tonnes per day, and bulky waste, around 10,000 tonnes per day, of private sectors. The Rowadet Rashed landfill is for construction waste and used tires,” said the official from the Ministry of Environment. The new integrated Domestic Solid Wastes Management Centre is the first plant in the Middle East and the only one in the GCC, stated the expert, while adding that the centre has started producing electricity.

Certain chronic pain may raise suicide risk

By Andrew M Seaman

ack pain, migraine and other types of chronic pain without a known physical cause — and therefore Blittle prospect for relief — were associated with an increased risk of suicide in a new study of US vet- erans. But the researchers, who analysed data on about five million patients in the US Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, found no link between suicide and arthritis, neuropathies or non-migraine headaches. Dr Mark Ilgen, the study’s lead author, said the find- ings jibe with what he and his colleagues expected to see based on their own experiences and past research. “I think we had the expectation that certain conditions - such as migraine and back pain - would be especially problematic when it came to suicide risk,” Ilgen, from the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System in Michigan, said. That’s because of differences in the origins, intensity and treatability of various chronic pain conditions, he said. For example, there are treatments available for chronic pain brought on by arthritis, which is caused by joint inflammation. But fewer options are available for psychogenic pain - a diagnosis that literally means “originating in the mind” with no known physical cause. Check young kids for motor “My sense is that the level of pain that they’re seeing in arthritis is not as severe and debilitating as what people are seeing in the back pain group and psychogenic pain,” said Dr David Marks, a psychiatrist and pain medicine delays, say paediatricians physician at the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina.

HYPER SUDOKU How to play Kakuro: The kakuro grid, unlike in sudoku, can be of any size. It has rows and columns, and dark cells like in a crossword. And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
