油
This document provides context and outlines the objectives of Kristina Roesel's PhD thesis on assessing the parasitic burden in the smallholder pig value chain in Uganda. The thesis aims to 1) understand if parasites are perceived as a production constraint by farmers, 2) estimate parasitic burden in pigs at farm, slaughter, and retail levels, 3) identify risk factors for parasitic infections, and 4) assess risks to public health from pork consumption. Preliminary results from farm surveys found worms and mange to be top health issues. The thesis is funded by the Safe Food, Fair Food project and aims to improve pig value chains and reduce health risks from pork-borne parasites in Uganda.

1. The document discusses sustainability in agriculture and defines key concepts for measuring sustainability performance.
2. It outlines a framework for defining sustainability goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) in areas like greenhouse gas emissions, water and land use, and using metrics to measure and improve performance.
3. The document also provides examples of KPIs and sustainability metrics used by various US agricultural programs to benchmark performance and set goals.
Ichip is a novel method for in situ cultivation of environmental microorganisms. A study found that ichips incubated directly in soil and seawater samples led to significantly higher bacterial colony counts compared to traditional petri dishes. Microbial species grown in ichips were also more novel and diverse than those in petri dishes, with little overlap between the two methods. The ichip approach recovered many bacterial strains and genera not previously identified, supporting its ability to cultivate the "uncultivable" majority of environmental microbes.

This document discusses the design and implementation of a Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) strategy to promote nutrition and hygiene practices as part of an agricultural intervention in Sierra Leone. It describes how SBCC was used to influence behaviors related to fish consumption, production, and hygiene along the fish value chain. A five-step process was used: 1) defining problems, 2) framing with theory, 3) designing materials with partners, 4) implementing and monitoring activities, and 5) evaluating objectives. The strategy targeted multiple audiences at national, community, and household levels using various communication channels and materials.
This document summarizes research activities at Universitas Airlangga Culture Collection (UACC) in Indonesia. UACC houses a collection of bacteria, yeast, molds and algae obtained from research projects and outside sources. Microbes are stored short-term in media or long-term using liquid-liquid methods.

The document discusses diagnostic testing for infectious diseases. It describes the diagnostic cycle which includes pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical phases. It then provides detailed guidelines for collecting, transporting, and processing various specimen types including blood, respiratory, urine, wound/soft tissue, and stool samples. Key steps include using proper collection containers and transport methods, obtaining sufficient samples, and following rejection criteria to ensure sample quality and accurate results.
This document summarizes key concepts in microbial nutrition and metabolism. It discusses the importance of carbon, nitrogen, and other macronutrients for microbial cells. It also describes different metabolic pathways like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle that break down nutrients to generate energy. Additionally, it outlines various mechanisms that microbes use to generate energy, including fermentation, aerobic/anaerobic respiration, chemolithotrophy, and phototrophy.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
油
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.

Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.
