Introduction. For many research and development organisations, the prompt supply of consumables is a prerequisite for efficient operation. The article presents changes made to regulations governing procurement development, as well assessment these provided by universities scientific organisations. Monitoring Tools. This work utilises analysis, generalisation interpretation rule law. Stakeholder...

E XPLORATION missions on Earth have used the principle of caching for centuries. Caching involves prepositioning discrete quantities of supplies at specific locations along a route in order to lighten the burden or extend the range of an exploring party. Historical missions that made use of caching on Earth are the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1803–1806 [1] and the ill-fated Imperial Trans-Ant...

Abstract Background and Aims Dialysis has an enormous environmental impact, not only for disposable consumables, but also the water energy consumption. Despite increasingly evidence regarding comparable outcomes between continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) slow low efficiency dialysis (SLED), ecological-based endpoints are frequently evaluated. Literature in critical care concerning imp...

Currently barriers exist in delivering quality health care. This study aimed to investigate such barriers in the eight rural district hospitals of the West Coast Winelands Region, three type A and five type B hospitals. A quantitative descriptive design was applied which included the total population of nursing staff (n = 340) working at the time of data collection. A self-administered question...

INTRODUCTION Health insurance schemes, like Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY), should provide financial protection against catastrophic health costs by reducing out of pocket expenditure (OOPE) for hospitalizations. We estimated and compared the proportion and extent of OOPE among below poverty line (BPL) families beneficiaries and not beneficiaries by RSBY during hospitalizations in distri...

While taking care of the population’s health, hospitals generate mountains waste, which in turn causes a hazard to environment population. The operating room is responsible for disproportionately big amount hospital waste. This research aims investigate waste creation order identify design opportunities support reduction according circular economy. Eight observations and five expert interviews ...

BACKGROUND The health care sector depends to a large extent on human labor. Poor worker motivation can greatly affect health outcomes and patient safety. There is little information on the health workers' perceptions of working conditions in resource-poor settings. METHOD Three state-owned facilities in each state were selected by simple random sampling technique. The selected facilities were...

Epidemiology has indicated a possible increase in lung cancer among stainless steel welders. Chromium (Cr) is a primary component of stainless steel welding fume. There is an initiative to develop alternative welding consumables [nickel (Ni)- and copper (Cu)-based alloys] that do not contain Cr. No study has been performed to evaluate the toxicity of fumes generated from Ni- and Cu-based consum...

Metal arc welding ranges from primitive (manual) to increasingly complex automated welding processes. Welding occupies 1% of the labour force in some industrialised countries and increasing knowledge of health risks, necessitating improved assessment strategies and controls have been identified by the International Institute of Welding (IIW), ILO, WHO and other authoritative bodies. Challenges ...
