Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendations. Proven tools in addressing the occurrence, spread, and negative consequences of small ruminant brucellosis are the identifica- tion and culling of infected animals and/or herds and vaccination (Franc et al., 2018; Xxxxxx et al., 2017; Xxxxxx, 2014). Ongoing efforts in developing new diagnostic tests for the detection of sheep and goat brucellosis caused by B.melitensis emphasize the inexistence of the perfect test, while the utility of tests avail- able is affected by technical issues and complex biological, epi- demiological, and socioeconomic factors (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2016; Figure 1

Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendations. The 15 reporting areas that provided website-published data for abotions by residence during 2004- 2008, abortion ratios are similar to abortion ratios reported by CDC abortion surveillance report[6]. These 15 areas reported 482,056 abortions for 2007 for an abortion ratio of 229 abortions per 1,000 live births. For the same year, the 45 areas reporting to CDC had an abortion ratio of 231 abortions per 1,000 live births. CDC does not have published abortion surveillance for 2009. In this study, the abortion ratios in 2009 are higher than other years because the 8 reporting areas are areas with higher ratios. The data states publish on their website may differ from the data they report to CDC because of different data collected and allocation of events by time period. CDC has developed a model reporting form to encourage more uniform collection of these data, but state laws govern the collection of abortion data and each state can develop its own form and create its own report. In addition, some states, when reporting by residence, report numbers only for their residents who obtained abortions in-state, and other states are able to include abortions for their residents who obtained abortions in other states. Rresidents may go out-of-state to obtain an abortion due to geographic proximity or to locally restrictive state laws or policies. The Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Institute (AGI) has developed a methodology to account for this. AGI reassigned abortions from the state of occurrence to the woman's state of residence on the basis of special tabulations they requested from state health departments[30]. The potential advantages of looking at state website are 1) to determine the quality and availability of the state reported abortion data and to compare with the national abortion report and 2) to examine patterns of abortion based on data uniquely available on state websites. The increasing abortion ratios in the last couple years might contribute to a decrease in number of births and fertility[31, 32]. Moreover, the increase in abortion ratios among married women and the decrease in abortion ratios among unmarried women may be a result of restrictive policies that selectively affect unmarried women. In addition, the very low abortion ratio among non-Hispanic Native American women may result from the lack of abortion services provide by the Indian Health Service. The Native American Women's Health Education Resource Center (NAWHERC) revealed only 25 abortions performed ...

Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendations. Discussion: Observations from the Field I arrived in Sierra Leone on May 26, 2014 to work with World Vision/Sierra Leone as a nutrition content expert on the Mamanieva project. Due to a scheduling conflict, I wasn’t able to travel to the Area Development Program (ADP) office in Madina until June 1. Once in the field, I was able to gain a sense of the program and learn the flow of the implementation. I was then able to contribute my knowledge and experience in nutrition and participatory approaches to the field team. I created an outline for a session of iron supplement use during pregnancy. In mid- June, Xx. Xxx Xxxx-Girard was able to make her first trip to the field site in the Bum Chiefdom and to work with the field staff and myself. Upon her recommendation and help, we developed our outline for the session into a full activity guide, complete with directions and talking points, in order to facilitate and encompass the participatory approach of the Mamanieva project. After her visit, we worked with her remotely to develop two additional sessions. I was able to attend 16 sessions covering three different topics in my short time there. Upon my return to the ADP office in Madina, we would debrief the session, discussing positives and difficulties from the day. We would translate that into field notes provided to the team. This was a great practice and it was an opportunity for the team to discuss the various aspects of the session. It was in these meeting where we decided if the activities for the session were sufficiently achieving the session objectives or if we needed to revise or add additional activities. The facilitators made a concerted effort to use the participatory approaches that we developed. Some of the concepts were foreign and awkward in the beginning. However, I was very impressed by the team embracing these activities and translating that into the sessions with the grandmothers. The majority of the sessions that I attended were interactive and fun. Working with grandmothers was a great experience and it was clear that they contained a wealth of knowledge. One aspect that I didn’t expect, occurring in only one or two villages, was that the men wanted to be involved. The sessions that I attended were not sensitive topics, so the male presence didn’t hinder the process (for the most part). In one village, the males just wanted to sit and listen and they asked questions at the end, but were not disruptive. In another village, we had to remind ...

Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendations. Young Senegalese authors that submitted narratives to the 2008 Scenarios from Africa contest focused primarily on the circumstances of infection and on the post-infection period. Sexual transmission is the primary mode of transmission, and high-risk groups, including women, poor people, individuals with multiple partners, sex workers, and migrants and travelers, are portrayed as responsible for the spread of HIV. In concentrated epidemics in low prevalence countries, there are epidemiological grounds for HIV being associated in the lay imagination with higher-risk groups and behaviors (Winskell 2011). Unfortunately, the process of „othering‟ characteristic of the dataset presumes that HIV is contracted by high-risk groups through immoral behaviors and has the disadvantage of minimizing risk perception within the general population. The narratives are generally optimistic in tone, as young authors demonstrate PLWHA living fulfilling and healthy lives thanks to support from family and friends. Social support promotes in PLWHA improved physical health, emotional balance, and a renewed sense of confidence and optimism. Support also serves as a catalyst for community activism, which increases the visibility and influence of PLWHA in the community. Nonetheless, young authors rarely represent PLWHA as normal, integrated members of a community. Stories in which social support is absent frequently result in bleak outcomes, including immediate death and suicide. One quarter of the narratives illustrate a character (not necessarily the chief protagonist) who takes action to avoid infection by demanding an HIV test from a partner or spouse, abstaining from sex, proposing condom use, taking prophylaxis to prevent mother-to- child transmission or avoiding contact with infected blood. HIV testing, in particular, is represented as an important method of prevention. However abstinence, fidelity, and condoms are generally referenced in a formulaic manner through quick mention of the ABC (Abstinence, Be faithful, Condoms) model of prevention (Winskell 2011). The superficiality of mentions of HIV prevention strategies in the narratives suggests the need for a more integrated life skills development approach to HIV programming. Life skills are defined as the capacity for adaptive and positive behaviors that help in decision- making, problem solving and effective communication (Naré, Xxxx et al. 1997). Based on the authors‟ representations, modeling of negotiation skills and st...

Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendations. One of the main strengths of the Pipeline program is its mentorship component, and participants valued their time with their mentors and appreciate that the duration of the relationship will span the two and a half years they participate in the program. Participants wish for more frequent interactions with their mentors that are not necessarily limited to the scheduled Pipeline sessions. This emphasis on the duration of the mentor relationship and frequency of contact is consistent with the best practices described by XxXxxx et al and Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx. They found that the most effective mentoring programs are designed to xxxxxx relationships that last at least a year with contact occurring at least once a week(6, 9). Pipeline participants interact with their mentors once a week during scheduled sessions, but since the main focus of these interactions is not relationship-building, perhaps they would benefit from contact outside of these sessions. Interactions outside of the sessions do not need to be elaborate, but may comprise simple telephone calls or the Pipeline program could arrange for the participants and mentors to engage in a community service project together or a fun field day with games once or twice a year. Both boys and girls describe characteristics of effective mentors that are similar to those described by Xxxx, namely that they take the time to really get to know their mentees and work on building trust in order to give advice that mentees are receptive to (11). One of the criticisms that the girls express is that some of the mentors try too hard to build instant connections, and some of the girls find it difficult to relate to their mentors because they are so different and have little in common to talk about. In fact, there is no significant difference between the frequency of contact and duration of the relationship between same-race or cross-race mentor relationships, and cross-race relationships are just as likely to form positive relationships(11). In this case, mentor training prior to the match is critical to ensure that mentors are equipped to engage mentees of different backgrounds and xxxxxx common ground from which they can relate to each other. Xxxx contends that the onus must be on the mentor to be proactive and take responsibility for initiating and fostering the relationship(11). Both boys and girls had many questions about the program in the beginning, and were unsure how their mentors worked, the structure of the sess...

  • Conclusions and Recommendations The literature review (see Appendix C) indicates a range of buffer width recommendations for protecting the shade function. Based on the XXXXX curve reported in this section of the report, approximately 1 SPTH (estimated at 61 meters or 200 ft) will provide nearly 100 percent effectiveness of the buffer to protect the intertidal from desiccation, elevated temperatures, and other shade-related functions. Of course, in nonforested community types (e.g., prairie and grasslands) the shade function from overstory trees may be unattainable. To maximize the buffer’s effectiveness to provide the shade function, the following actions are recommended: • Avoid disturbance to native vegetation in riparian areas, especially nearer the water’s edge. • Retain, restore, and enhance mature trees and a multi-layered canopy and understory of native vegetation at sites that support these types of plant communities. • Ensure that riparian areas can be maintained in mature, native vegetation through time. • Prevent modifications to banks and bluffs (e.g., armoring) that could disrupt natural processes (such as soil creep, development of backshore and overhanging vegetation, recruitment of wood and other organic matter to riparian area including beaches and banks.) • Prohibit cutting and topping of trees and avoid “limbing” (selective branch cutting to enhance views) of trees for view corridors and other purposes within buffers.
