How Integration of Field Trials and Residue Analytics Teams Optimized Study C...Covance

��

As part of a regulatory submission, Covance was approached by a European company who had been asked by regulators to supply additional operator exposure data. The substance under investigation contained both a pesticide and growth inhibitor, which is applied as a dust to stored potatoes. The mode of application meant existing models were inappropriate, so a field trial and residue analysis were both necessary to monitor the specific application method. The timeline for running the trial and analyzing data to meet a regulatory deadline was short - around six months.

This document discusses the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN), which aims to strengthen soil laboratories and harmonize soil data globally. It finds most soil labs lack formal analyst training and quality controls. Methods vary widely between labs, even for basic tests like pH. Less than half of labs participate in international ring tests. To improve comparability, the network promotes regional soil laboratory networks, international ring tests, guidelines for best practices, and training. The ultimate goals are reliable soil data and consistent classifications globally.

Highlights of the Air Quality Education in Animal Agriculture ProjectLPE Learning Center

��

Proceedings available at: http://www.extension.org/67706 Through the Air Quality Education in Animal Agriculture (AQEAA) project, Land-Grant University specialists from across the U.S. have been collaborating in delivering applied, research-based air quality information to those who work with livestock and poultry producers. The AQEAA project developed Air Quality content on the Animal Manure Management eXtension website in collaboration with the Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Center (LPELC). The Air Quality web content makes widely accessible the educational resources produced by this project for use in developing the knowledge base and skills of professionals who interact [and pre-professionals who plan to interact] with livestock and poultry producers. The online materials include 18 written publications, 3 videos, and 16 recorded webinars (webcasts). Also made accessible are selected research and technology summaries as well as online content produced by other organizations. The AQEAA project also developed the skills of professionals regarding air quality topics via professional development events. Website usage information, participant polls, and stakeholder surveys provided evidence that the resources developed by this project are being utilized and that delivery of the information via eXtension has been an effective means of communicating information on this topic. Webcasts were especially effective in communicating information and providing continuing professional development. AQEAA-sponsored workshops were effective in providing in-depth air quality information and experiences to more than 300 professionals. Collaboration with the LPELC facilitated having a ready eXtension outlet for project materials and is providing continued, sustainable access to online information from this project.

The status of salt-affected soils in Eurasia with a focus on UzbekistanSoils FAO-GSP

��

The document discusses salt-affected soils in the Eurasian region, with a focus on Uzbekistan. Salt-affected soils are a major problem for agriculture and food security, affecting over 40% of irrigated croplands in Central Asia. In Uzbekistan, approximately 48% of irrigated lands are salt-affected, causing annual losses of $31 million. Recent government programs aim to improve irrigation systems and rehabilitate over 1 million hectares of degraded land through measures like deep ripping, crop diversification, and afforestation. International organizations have invested over $1 billion in water and agriculture projects to address land and water management issues in Uzbekistan.

��

The document discusses the International Network of Salt-Affected Soils (INSAS), which aims to facilitate sustainable management of salt-affected soils globally. Salinization is one of the major threats to soil resources. INSAS objectives include promoting sustainable salt-affected soil management, developing a global status report, and providing a platform for countries to discuss issues and practices. The Global Soil Partnership is working to update the global soil salinity map through training programs and an integrated soil information system.

The role and importance of INSAS for natural resource managementSoils FAO-GSP

��

The International Network for Salt-Affected Soils (INSAS) operates under the Global Soil Partnership and FAO to address the growing issue of salt-affected soils. Salt-affected soils occur in over 100 countries and threaten food security, especially in dry regions. Climate change is exacerbating the problem by reducing water availability and allowing seawater intrusion. INSAS aims to connect countries facing this issue, share best practices for managing salt-affected soils, and help ensure global food security.

The status of salt-affected soils in Africa with a focus on DjiboutiSoils FAO-GSP

��

1) Djibouti is a small country in East Africa with a population of less than one million. It has little rainfall and no surface freshwater, relying on groundwater for drinking and irrigation. 2) Soil salinity is a major problem in Djibouti, with most soils being saline or very saline due to the arid climate and lack of freshwater. This soil salinity leads to low agricultural production and food insecurity. 3) Addressing soil salinity through techniques like cover crops, mulching, and fertigation is a key factor in improving food security. Djibouti is working to establish partnerships to develop strategies to reduce soil salinity and improve soil health.

The status of salt-affected soils and spatial modelling of the soil salinity ...Soils FAO-GSP

��

This document summarizes research on mapping soil salinity variation in Senegal's peanut basin region using remote sensing data. The study area showed electrical conductivity values ranging from 40-542 mS/m. Random Forest and Kriging models were used to map soil salinity, with Random Forest performing better with a lower RMSE of 19.46 mS/m. The most important variables in the Random Forest model were spectral bands from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, NDWI water index, and radar bands from Sentinel-1. Accurately mapping soil salinity at a national scale could help determine affected areas, develop rehabilitation strategies, and inform organizations like INSAS on soil conditions.

��

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust. Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards. The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks. The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration. Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
