Larval vectors to domestic insecticide-based control measures may compromise identification of species of Culicine and Anopheline mosquitoes present the sensitivity of conventional sampling tools operating indoors such as in Khartoum State taken from five study sites represents Khartoum state light traps or indoor resting catches, thus preventing effective surveillance indicated that Anopheles arabiensis is the only species of the Anopheline and management of vector populations. We evaluated six different vector mosquitoes found. Three species of culicine mosquitoes were found: collection methods to optimize a protocol for operational sampling of Culex quinquefasciatus, Cx univittatus and Cx arbeeni, Species of Aedes malaria vectors robust to variations in vector behavior, notably variations were found in irrigated schemes at one study site and was absent from associated with the presence of important malaria control methods. Over the other four study sites, these species were Ae. vittatus and Ae. vexans, 30 days, we replicated a Latin square design 10 times at sites in 4 districts whose presence was recorded after the onset of the rainy season.the in western Kenya: Kisumu, Bondo, Nyando and Rachuonyo.

  • Diagnostic Errors in Referrals To
    DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS IN REFERRALS TO THE ZAGREB FEVER HOSPITAL VLADIMIR GRAHOVAC Dr med., Head, general practice unit, Gajevo-Jarun and BOZIDAR GAVAZZI Dr med., Head, general practice unit, Savska Cesta Health Centre "Tresnjevka", Zagreb Errare humanum, corrigere philosophicum est THE MOST sensitive indicators are those relating to the quality of work. There are many indices of various degrees of objec- tivity for the evaluation of the quality of the doctor's work. One of them concerning hospital physicians is the degree of agreement between clinical diagnosis and postmortem findings 1. A similar indicator for non-hospital doctors is the degree ofagreement between their referral diagnosis and hospital discharge diagnoses. Since in Yugoslavia there are a great many contradictory opinions of the quality of work of doctors in general, and general practitioners in particular, and since they are often based on impressions and emotions rather than on objective studies, we decided to analyse the degree of agreement between referral diagnoses of the cases sent to the Zagreb fever hospital (hospital for contagious diseases) and the discharge diagnoses of this hospital. Although aware of defi- ciencies of this kind of study which relates only to a single hospital, and a specialized one at that, we decided to use it for the following reasons: 1. The fever hospital is one of the hospitals in which most case histories, in addition to referral diagnoses, contain the name of the physician who referred the patient to the hospital. This makes the subsequent identification possible. 2. Patients are for the most part sent to the fever hospital directly, without any preceding consultation with another doctor specialist or laboratory analysis.

Telders Supervisory Board of the Telders International Law Moot Court Competition Foundation and Telders Organizing Office Telders Case 2018: The Plight of the Dandy Narwhals Participating Teams National Round Teams Team Sponsors Acknowledgements International Board of Review Judges Semi-Finals Award Winners Financial Results TablePreface of Contents by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Telders International Law Moot Court Competition The Telders International Law Moot Court Competition has been held each year since 1977. This means that 2018 marked the 41st edition of the competition. This year, 39 universities registered for the competition and National Rounds were held in eight countries to determine which teams would proceed to the International Rounds in The Hague. For teams without a National Round it was possible to participate in the International Friendly Rounds, organised by Vaccaro Law Bureau at the European University Institute in Florence. The main objective of the Telders Competition is to stimulate students’ interest and knowledge of international law. It is an exceptional opportunity for the participants in a variety of ways. In taking part, students are educated in legal practice, and such important principles as the rule of law and fair play. The Competition provides an excellent platform for experiencing a close-to-reality court setting. It offers an opportunity for students to enhance their networks and promotes international cooperation and understanding.
