The mental health consequences of exposure to traumatic events and the risk factors for psychological morbidity among expatriate and Kosovar Albanian humanitarian aid workers have not been well studied. In June 2000, we used standardised screening tools to survey 285 (69.5%) of 410 expatriate aid workers and 325 (75.8%) of 429 Kosovar Albanian aid workers from 22 humanitarian organizations that were implementing health programmes in Kosovo. The mean number of trauma events experienced by expatriates was 2.8 (standard deviation: 2.7) and by Kosovar staff 3.2 (standard deviation: 2.8). Although only 1.1% of expatriate and 6.2% of Kosovar aid workers reported symptoms consistent with the diagnosis for post-traumatic stress disorder, 17.2% and 16.9%, respectively, reported symptoms satisfying the definition of depression. Regression analysis demonstrated that the number of trauma events experienced was significantly associated with depression for the two sets of workers. Organisational support services may be an important mediating factor and should be targeted at both groups. 相似文献

Abstract Biodegradation of chlorpyrifos was studied in liquid culture media amended with either single or combined eight different plant pathogenic fungi isolated from the continuous cropping wheat fields. The average recovery of chlorpyrifos from the liquid media was found to be 86.1%. The detection limit of chlorpyrifos by the analytical method used was 19 ppb. Data showed that the growth of mixed fungi at concentrations up to 200 ppm of chlorpyrifos was higher than in the control treatment. Chlorpyrifos concentrations declined in the medium of combined fungi more than it did in the medium of any single fungus with increase in the incubation period. The amount of chlorpyrifos recovered was 79.8 ppm (39.9%) in the combined fungal cultures after 21 days. However, those recovered from the media of Fusarium graminearum, F. oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Cladosporhim cladosporiodes, Cephalosporium sp., Trichoderma viridi, Alternaria alternata, and Cladorrhinum brunnescens, ranged from 48.0 to 74.8%. The half‐life value (T1/2) for chlorpynfos was 15.8 day in the medium amended with mixed fungi. However, for the single cultures it ranged from 19.3 to 33.0 day. 相似文献

The Public Nutrition approach, like that of Public Health, is context specific. It places an emphasis on populations rather than individuals and is inter-disciplinary in nature. Both approaches seek to understand the complex aetiology of a clinical outcome such as malnutrition within the widest possible framework. Public Nutrition uses the UNICEF conceptual framework and adapts and expands it. The authors of this article argue--through the examination of a number of case studies taken from the work of Concern Worldwide (hereafter referred to as Concern) in southern Sudan, Rwanda, Angola, Tanzania and DRC--that there are two critical constituents of the Public Nutrition approach. These are: a contextual analysis (including the use of surveillance information for programme design and advocacy) and community involvement at all stages of the project cycle. Some of the key obstacles to the adoption of the Public Nutrition approach are identified by illustrating two practical programme settings. For the Public Nutrition approach to be more widely used, the authors recommend a number of key strategies including the further dissemination of case studies and the clarification of the scope and boundaries of the approach. These strategies will enable Public Nutrition to evolve both as a practical programme framework as well as an academic discipline. 相似文献

Cameron Highlands is a mountainous region with steep slopes. Gradients exceeding 20∘ are common. The climate is favourable to the cultivation of tea, sub-tropical vegetables and flowers (under rain-shelter).
Crop production is sustained by high fertiliser and manure applications. However, agriculture in this environment is characterised
by high levels of soil erosion and environmental pollution. A study on the sustainability of these agro-ecosystems was conducted.
Results indicated that soil loss was in the range of 24–42 ton/ha/yr under vegetables and 1.3 ton under rain-shelter. Sediment
load in the vegetable sub-catchment reached 3.5 g/L, 50 times higher than that associated with flowers under rain-shelter
and tea. The sediments contained high nutrient loads of up to 470 kg N/ha/yr. The N, P and K lost in runoff from cabbage farms
was 154 kg/season/ha, whereas in chrysanthemum farms it was 5 kg. In cabbage farms, the N, P, and K lost through leaching
was 193 kg/season/ha. The NO3–N concentration in the runoff from the cabbage farms reached 25 ppm but less than 10 ppm in runoff from rain-shelters. Inorganic
pollution in the rivers was within the acceptable limit of 10 ppm. The sustainability of the agro-ecosystems is in the order
of tea { > } rain–shelter ≫ vegetables. 相似文献

Perth groundwater resources are obtained from three major aquifers that occur beneath the Perth metropolitan area: the Superficial
aquifer, Leederville aquifer and Yarragadee aquifer. Each aquifer has a unique seasonal water level pattern controlled by
soils, geomorphology and geology. Landuse is mainly responsible for variations in recharge; however, the hydraulic properties
control aquifer response and water level pattern to a greater degree. Groundwater in the three aquifers is generally of very
good quality except in localised areas. Salinity increases with depth and in direction of groundwater flow in the three aquifers.
The best water quality is in the Superficial aquifer in the Wanneroo well field area. The geochemistry and stable isotope
signatures from the three major aquifers revealed distinct water types that suggest very little hydraulic connection or mixing
of waters between these aquifers at the present abstraction and recharge regimes. The results also show that the Leederville
and Yarragadee aquifers were recharged during earlier cooler times while the Superficial aquifer is being recharged at present. 相似文献

The flow pathways of water in the soils of the Gnangara Mound are highly irregular and depend upon the moisture content, the
repellency and preferential wettability potential of the soils. The occurrence of preferential flow is more evident in dry
soils. As the soil wets during the rainy season, the water repellence and differential wettability decreases, the fingering
and the preferential flow paths disappear. Most of the agricultural sites in the Spearwood Sands which showed more irregular
flow than the Bassendean Sands are under continuous irrigation during cultivation season. As the repellency problems are chemically
treated, it is therefore expected that the flow will be more uniform all the year round. Landuse is mainly responsible for
variation in recharge rates; however, the hydraulic properties control aquifer response and water level pattern to a greater
degree. Water levels in the mid 1970s were in a semi steady state. Since that time, a combination of increasing water use
by pine plantations, heavy pumping from private boreholes in market gardens and private homes and intensive pumping from the
Gnangara Mound for the metropolitan water supply have caused water levels to continually decline in the Superficial aquifer.
Nitrate and phosphate concentrations in the regional Superficial aquifer are generally very low. None of the tested pesticides
(atrazine, diazinon, dimethoate, endosulfan, fenamiphos, iprodione, malathion and chlorpyrifos) were detected in the groundwater
samples collected from the monitoring bores. 相似文献

Plant species sorghum (Sorghum vulgar L.), clover (Trifolium pratense L.), panikum (Panicum antidotal), and canola (Brassica napus) were tested to determine their phytoremediation potential. After a period of about 90 days, plant samples (shoots and roots) and soil samples (before and after cultivation) were collected for zinc and cobalt analyses using atomic absorption spectrometry. The highest zinc uptake was observed in canola, while panikum grass showed a high zinc accumulation affinity compared to sorghum and clover. Calculation of the recovery percentage, based on the amount of zinc removed from the soil after cultivation, ranged between 12.8 and 36.3 percent of the total initial zinc. Canola shoots exhibited the highest cobalt uptake compared to the other plant species. Calculation of the recovery percentage based on cobalt removed from the soil after cultivation ranged between 10.1 and 40.7 percent of the total initial cobalt concentration. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. * 1 This article is a U.S. Government work and, as such, is in the public domain of the United States of America. 相似文献
