2. The Acquisition of the Publications of the Quebec Government.

Author

Carpentier, Louise

Abstract

Describes the depository library program for publications issued by the government of the Province of Quebec. Selection tools and acquisition practices for obtaining Quebec government publications in paper, microform, and nonprint media are discussed, and developments of private sector firms in publishing documents in microform are considered. Addresses and telephone numbers for sources are listed. (MES)

Abstract

The CDC recommends that all hemodialysis (HD) patients be vaccinated against hepatitis B virus (HBV). In 1999, only 39 of our 134 (29%) HD patients had received HBV vaccine. Since the vaccine is indicated for all HD patients, this presented a drug-related problem (DRP): indication without treatment. In response, nurses and pharmacists initiated a proactive HBV vaccination program. Methods: An immunization protocol based on then current CDC recommendations was developed. HBV vaccine (40 mcg IM; at 0, 1 and 6 months) was administered to consenting HD patients. Anti-hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) titers were monitored and booster doses were given per the protocol. Results: By August 2001, all consenting HD patients (n = 110) had received ≥ 1 dose of HBV vaccine and 90 (81.8%) had either received a full course (≥ 3 doses) or had received ≥ 1 dose and developed a positive anti-HBs titer (≥ 10 mIU/mL). Of these 90 patients, 52 (58%) developed a positive anti-HBs titer, 33 (37%) responded to ≤ 3 doses, and 19 (21%) following a booster. The DRP was significantly improved. Conclusion: Given CDC guidelines, HBV vaccine should be offered to all HD patients. This initiative demonstrates that with concerted effort all consenting HD patients can receive HBV vaccination, thereby addressing an important DRP., In 1974, the incidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection was 6.2% among hemodialysis (HD) patients and 5.2% among HD staff in the United States (Snydman, Bregman, & Bryan, 1977).

Abstract

Long-term in situ soil and water conservation experiments are rare in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Eastern Africa. A long-termexperiment was conducted (2005-2013) on aVertisol to quantify the impacts of resource-conserving agriculture (RCA) on runoff, soil loss, soil fertility and crop productivity and economic profitability in northern Ethiopia. Two RCA practices were developed from traditional furrow tillage practices: (i) derdero+ (DER+) and terwah+ (TER+). DER+ is a furrow and permanent raised bed planting system, tilled once at planting time by refreshing the furrow and 30% of crop residue is retained. TER+ is ploughed once at planting, furrows are made at 1.5 m intervals and 30% crop residue is retained. The third treatment was a conventional tillage (CT) with a minimum of three tillage operations and complete removal of crop residues. Wheat, teff, barley and grass pea crops were grown in rotation. Runoff, and soil and nutrient loss were measured in plastic sheet-lined collector trenches. Significantly different (P < 0.05) runoff coefficients (%) and soil losses (t ha-1) averaged over 9 yrs were 14 and 3, 22 and 11 and 30 and 17 for DER+, TER+ and CT, respectively. Significant improvements in crop yield and gross margin were observed after a period of three years of cropping This study demonstrated that RCA systems in semi-arid agro-ecosystems constitute a field rainwater conservation and soil fertility improvement strategy that enhances crop productivity and economic profitability. Adoption of RCA systems (DER+ and TER+) in the study area requires further work to improve smallholder farmers' awareness on benefits, to guarantee high standards during implementation and to design appropriate weed management strategies.
