Baseline Study of Private Drug Shops in Bangladesh-Findings and RecommendationsMd. Tarek Hossain
?
Retail drug shops are the preferred first point of contact for a majority of the population in developing countries including Bangladesh. Currently in Bangladesh, 1,03,451 licensed retail drug shops and approximately an equal number of unlicensed retail drug shops are involved in selling drugs "over-the-counter". Most of the salespeople and dispensers at those retail drug shops do not have training in dispensing drugs or in offering diagnoses and treatment, which they frequently do.
Because those drug shop salespeople have no other channel of information beyond the formal sectors open to them, they fall easy prey to the aggressive marketing strategies of the pharmaceutical companies. Irrational use of drugs such as over-prescribing, multi-drug prescribing, using unnecessarily expensive drugs, dispensing drugs without a prescription, and overusing antibiotics and injections have been the most common problems found with those retailers for a long time.
Given the importance of the informal sector, including retail drug shops in Bangladesh, improved regulation of this sector offers an important opportunity to improve community health. Experiences in other parts of world have demonstrated that private-sector drug seller initiatives that are based on an accreditation and regulation model are feasible, improve access to medicines, and can be scaled up.
This study aims to fill in the knowledge gaps about those unregulated drug shops in the private sector and about management of them through the informed design of an accredited drug shop model in Bangladesh. The inclusion of the tuberculosis-related assessment in this study is a result of the priority for a TB program that will increase the number of cases that are detected and referred early to a TB treatment and diagnosis center for proper management.
This study analyzed changes in thermokarst lakes near Chersky, Russia between 1965 and 2011 using historical photographs and satellite imagery. The total lake area increased by 2,801,400 square meters over this period. Specifically, the number of small lakes increased while the number of large lakes decreased. Additionally, small lakes made up a greater percentage of the total lake area in 2011 compared to 1965. This suggests climate change is contributing to the drainage of larger lakes and expansion of smaller, more numerous water bodies in the region.
Prezi es una herramienta multimedia que permite crear presentaciones no lineales e interactivas con zoom, conexiones entre diapositivas y ajuste de tiempo, a diferencia de PowerPoint que usa diapositivas fijas. Prezi puede usarse para mapas conceptuales u otros proyectos de manera creativa e incluye opciones para imágenes, video y texto. Se diferencia de PowerPoint en que usa movimientos en lugar de diapositivas y requiere registro, además de ser más fácil de usar.

This document discusses urban containment policies like urban growth boundaries as sustainability tools for U.S. cities. It defines key terms and outlines the need for sustainability in U.S. cities. The document presents Portland, Oregon and Knoxville, Tennessee as case studies to analyze how urban growth boundaries can foster more economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable city development patterns. GIS is used to analyze land uses within the cities' urban growth boundaries. The discussion will compare the results from the case studies to evaluate the sustainability of urban growth boundaries in U.S. cities.
