The most common laboratory tests for pesticide exposure are measurement of plasma pseudo-cholinesterase or red blood cell acetyl cholinesterase levels, which measure cholinesterase inhibition and can indicate poisoning with OP or carbamate pesticides. Other methods measure pesticides and/or their metabolites in blood or urine. Having laboratories report to a central authority is a potential source for surveillance for pesticide poisoning. The US is an example of a country which has included laboratories asy one ofof its surveillance Cape data sources Town (Ballard et al, 2001; Calvert et al, 2004). States of California and Washington both require ChE monitoring of applicators who frequently handle cholinesterase inhibitors. The state of Washington has more detailed reporting of monitoring information because results of testing are centralized and reported by the state. .......... 34 2.9.

  • Sociological Perspective of Suicidal Ideation and Attempts in Adolescents Living in District Swat of Pakistan
    Pakistan Review of Social Sciences ISSN: 2708-0951 Vol. 1, No. 1, 2020 Sociological perspective of Suicidal Ideation and Attempts in Adolescents living in District Swat of Pakistan Authors Ihsan Ullah [email protected] Abdul Wahab [email protected] ABSTRACT Social Dimensions of suicide specifically through qualitative research approach have hardly been examined by researchers in Pakistan, the particular qualitative study conducted in Swat; A District of (KPK) Pakistan tends to deem the social perspective of the issue. The study aims at scrutinizing the underlying social factors’ role in the production of suicidal ideation in youth which ultimately convinces them to attempt suicide. Ten respondents who attempted suicide but survived are interrogated through a semi-structured interview technique. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) strategy is utilized for the analysis of collected data. The findings reveal that social determinants like family pressure, family structure, customs and traditions, social exclusion, religious perceptions and social status play an extensive role in suicidal ideation and attempts among adolescents living in Swat. Durkheim theory of suicide (integration- regulation theory) up to a greater extent supported the primary social factors’ role in suicidal ideation among youth living in district Swat. The study concluded that the identified Social features of the study were crucial in the suicide attempts of the selected respondents. The study clarifies that both psychological and sociological perspectives are correspondingly vital which need to be contemplated in the investigation of suicide. Keywords: Sociological perspective, suicidal ideation, adolescents, Swat 26 Pakistan Review of Social Sciences ISSN: 2708-0951 Vol. 1, No. 1, 2020 Introduction Suicide is one of the major reasons of death; its figures are extremely high across the world.

  • Fund Shall Maintain a Register of Universal Service Provision Which Shall Include the Following
    UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE ACCESS FUND PUBLIC REGISTER OF UNIVERSAL SERVICE PROVISION 1. INTRODUCTION The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania established the Universal Communications Service Access Fund (the Fund) to promote universal access to information and communications technology services in Tanzania. The Fund is responsible for enabling accessibility and participation by communication operators in the provision of communication services, with a view to promoting social, economic development of the rural and urban underserved areas; to provide for availability of communication services by establishing a legal framework for universal service providers to meet the communication needs of consumers. Section 15 of The Universal Communications Service Access Act, 2006 provides designation of universal service providers. Regulation 28(1) of the UCSAF’s Regulations of 2009 states that The Fund shall maintain a register of universal service provision which shall include the following:- a) Designated service providers; b) A list of licensees contributing to the Fund; and c) A list of information required by the Fund when determining designated universal service providers. Following this requirement, the Fund has developed this register that is subject to update from time to time. 1 2. DESIGNATED SERVICE PROVIDERS The following section presents designated service providers for universal service provision. These are mainly mobile operator service providers whose main responsibility is to extend mobile communication in rural and urban underserved areas of the country. Through the subsidy provided by the Fund, currently 992 wards will receive communication service through these designated service providers as indicated in Annex 1 of this register.
