Abstract: Medication adherence is a significant factor contributing towards the achievement of treatment goals. This study was conducted to provide insight into the medication adherence behaviour of private sector patients afflicted with communicable and non-communicable chronic diseases.\r\nObjectives\r\nTo investigate the medication adherence behaviour of patients suffering from Non-Communicable diseases and Communicable diseases in the private health care sector of the eThekwini Metropolitan of KwaZulu-Natal. \r\nMethods \r\nA self-reported medication adherence questionnaire was used to obtain data, from 233 patients afflicted with Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension and Dyslipidaemia. The questionnaire focused on factors that influence medication adherence as well as the number of days of medication missed during the last 30 days. Data was collected and analysed using SPSS .\r\nResults \r\nMajority of participants were aged between 41-60 years (49.8%), and were of male gender (52.8%). An almost equal number of participants were afflicted with single disease (n=116) or multiple diseases (117). Hypertension was the most prevalent ailment (n=167), followed by Type 2 Diabetes (n=113), Dyslipidaemia (n=94) and HIV (n= 26). Over 62% of participants reported not missing any medication during the last 30 days. More than 21% had stated missing 1-2 days of their medication and 15.9% reported missing 3 or more days of medication during the last 30 days. With regards to single diagnosis, the highest percentage of adherence was reported in participants afflicted with Hypertension (60.6%), and Type 2 diabetes (58.3%). HIV and Dyslipidaemia had the lowest rates of adherence as 45% (n=9) of HIV only afflicted participants and 57.1% (n=4) of Dyslipidaemia only afflicted participants reported missing 1 or more days of their medication. The highest rate of non-adherence was found in the age group of participants 51-60 years old, while the highest rate of adherence was found in the group aged 70 years+. Reasons for non-adherence included cost, forgetting to take medication, running out of medication, stopping medication because it made them feel worse or gave a side effect and having difficulty with time schedules or having medication with/without food. \r\nConclusion\r\nParticipants afflicted with communicable and non-communicable diseases in the private health care sector have sub-optimal medication adherence. No significant correlations were found between having a particular disease and the rate of adherence, but participants afflicted with HIV only and Dyslipidaemia only where the least adherent. Reasons for non-adherence were the similar to other studies.

Abstract: Objective and Aim: Invasive fungal infection (IFI) in very low birth weight (VLBW, ≤1500g) infants is related to significant morbidity and mortality. To compare two fluconazole prophylaxis regimens for IFI in VLBW while maintaining surveillance for fluconazole resistance. \\r\\nMaterial and Methods: All VLBW infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were enrolled as the study group if they were less than 1 day old . Infants who received targeted fluconazole prophylaxis between September 2011-August 2012 were compared with the ones who received standard fluconazole prophylaxis between September 2012- August 2013. Intravenous (IV) or oral fluconazole, 3mg/kg, twice weekly for 30 days to very low birth weight (VLBW) and 45 days to extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants were given as standard prophylaxis. VLBW infants who had predefined risk factors received fluconazole at the same dosage, constituted the targeted prophylaxis group. \\r\\nResults: Fifty one patients were allocated as the standard fluconazole prophylaxis group and 67 patients were enrolled for the targeted fluconazole prophylaxis group. There existed no IFI in the standard fluconazole prophylaxis group. However, 4 (5.9%) patients had IFI in the targeted fluconazole prophylaxis group. No adverse effects of fluconazole were recognized. Additionally, there were no deaths in patients with IFI. \\r\\nConclusion: Standard prophylaxis prevents IFI without increasing the resistivity pattern in our NICU setting.

Abstract: The classical Tamil literature known as Sangam literature was engraved on palm leaves and dates back to the period between 300BC and 300 AD. These works were written in ancient Tamil and were composed as hymns, ballads, erotic verses and lyrics. They graphically portray the life, health status and civilization under the Chera, Chola and Pandiya dynasties during the early centuries. Presently, the medical research methodology includes epidemiological studies to assess the distribution and determinants of health and disease in defined population. Upon careful analysis of Sangam literature, it is fascinating to explore that the ancient Tamil culture has also provided such epidemiological knowledge of disease prevalence along with the management of diseases through their distinctive concept of Thinaigal (Landscapes). While today’s modern world is globally concerned with improving the moribund health status of the population, the concept of Thinaigal (Landscapes) has provided the terrain, the fauna and flora, health status and medicinal value of their flora of five major landscapes (Iynthinaigal) namely Kurinji, Mullai, Marutham, Neithal and Palai. These landscapes were named after the chief herbs growing in that region. Therefore this review work evaluates the traditional claims of these geographical landscapes, in terms of disease prevalence pertaining to the landscapes (Thinaigal) and the geographical herbs for disease management in the light of recent scientific studies. This literature review has been made to highlight the public health approach that existed in ancient Tamil culture as a pioneer for epidemiological studies of modern era and to appraise the contribution of geographical herbs towards improving the health status of the country.

Abstract: This study aims to compare the germination behavior of fourteen native dominant species from (11 botanical families) from dromedary's rangelands recommended for ecological restoration under different concentrations of NaCl (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mM). Germination Percentage (GP %) and Mean Germination Time (MGT) was recorded. The obtained results showed that seeds of all the tested species germinate only in the lowest concentration of NaCl (0 and 50mM). On the other hand, when the saline concentration is between (100 and 250mM). An osmotic stress is manifested, decreasing and delaying the germination from the first three days at 0mM to the (9th, 12th and 15th day) at (150, 200 and 250 mM) respectively according to species. High concentrations of NaCl inhibit seed germination of most species. With the exception of Asphodelus tenuifolius Cavan. which showed the best germination behavior even in the highest concentrations (65 and 15%). It has a relatively higher tolerance than Bassia muricata (L.) Asch. (60%) and Crotalaria saharae Coss (40%).

Abstract: The article is devoted to some problems of interrelation between bioethics and law. Some aspects of the international and national experience of this problem in the modern period are considered. It is noted that innovations in all sectors of human life fundamentally change the attitude of man to the world and to himself, ahead of the formation of appropriate ethical and legal trends.\nThe author examines some aspects of international experience, notes that some scientists proceed from the principles that the ever increasing growth of new technologies generates possible threats to the survival of mankind. But, along with pessimistic approaches, there are quite vital tendencies, namely, that it is scientific discoveries that will create in the future the necessary conditions for the survival of mankind, the solution of their arid problems.

Abstract: The article is devoted to some political, law and historical aspects of such a negative phenomenon as human trafficking and ways to fight this phenomenon, about taking measures of the international community to prevent and prevent such facts in the present. It is noted that, despite consistent measures to prevent the facts of human trafficking, it is still on the scale of concern for society. It is emphasized that, historically, this phenomenon equated with the slave trade, which some criminal groups forced crooked representatives of the population to become dependent in their hands, who took objective and subjective situations in their own selfish intentions.

Abstract: The intent to conduct this study is to investigate the effect of the foreign direct investment on the economic growth of Algeria. Moreover, this study also analyzes the effect of imports and domestic capital on the economic growth after the establishment of a free trade zone in Algeria. In order to estimate the effect of FDI, exports and domestic capital, data from (1997-2016) was collected from various international organizations who provide statistical data. The Cobb-Douglas production function was used in this study to establish a link between foreign direct investment and economic growth. The results of this study show that foreign direct investment has a significant positive effect on the economic growth of Algeria after the establishment of free trade zone. Moreover, Algerian exports and domestic capital also have a significant positive association with the foreign direct investment. So, it is deduced that due to foreign direct investment in a country, its exports and economic growth also influence the economic growth of the country. In light of results, it is recommended that Algeria should provide tax incentives, political stability, secure, bribe-free and research-oriented environment so that, the more foreign direct investment could be attracted in free trade zone of Algeria and economic growth targets could be attained.

Abstract: It is commonly recognized that navigating in three-dimensional spaces can be a complicated task, primarily when working with "objects" that have natural orientations such as terrains. To resolve this problem, we limited user navigation to two types of rotations. This strategy prevents the user from becoming "lost" while "flying" through the environment and feel trapped by the tool. Also, based on the fact that there is always a center of interest, user navigation is limited to the sphere surface whit its center located in this interest area. This paper presents an overview of how this 3D navigation problem is resituated in the context of terrain explorations. Our goal is to help the user navigate 3D terrains by adapting the conventional Virtual Sphere navigation approach to the particular case of "terrain" explorations. We argue that the traditional schemes are too generic for some specific 3D uses, and we propose exploration constraints that are better suited to these particular tasks. We already used this approach, with optimal results, in different contexts, like hierarchical visualization, earthquakes visualization, earthquake animation and 3D wind visualization in Costa Rica.

Abstract: Analysis of Russian energy saving potential and experience of implementation of energy efficiency policy in Russia at the present stage showed that the domestic economy has considerable potential energy savings, but their implementation requires intensifying the activities of the State in this area, particularly with regard to overcoming the identified reasons for the low efficiency of national economy. Government activities in the field of energy saving and energy efficiency in Russia was initiated in 2008 and a significant legal and regulatory framework was developed as a basis for it, however, despite the positive examples, the objectives set for energy intensity reduction are not being met, and the overall level of implementation of government interventions in energy efficiency in industries is insufficient. This paper proposes the author's approach to Russian energy efficiency strategy, which, based on international experience, sets out priorities for improving the energy efficiency policies.
