Knowledge, Attitude and Barriers to Reporting near Miss Incidents in a Tertiary Care Hospital – A Descriptive Study

Background: There is a 1 in 300 chance of a patient being harmed during health care. (10 Facts on Patient Safety, 2019). Fundamentally, near misses occur more frequently, 7-100 times more than actual adverse event (Aspden P, 2004). But, it was found that near misses are infrequently documented and sometimes go unnoticed in daily clinical practice (Lee, 2021) Little attention has been given to near-miss reporting specifically despite their value in organizational learning (Helge Klapper, 2019).

Proliferation of Different Categories of Chemical Pesticides and Respiratory Disease Risk for Farmers in the Nyiragongo Health Zone in North Kivu, DRC

The use of pesticides has increased due to their widespread application in agricultural and environmental pest control. There are thousands of categories of pesticides, each with a specific chemical composition and use. Pesticides form a major farm input with many farmers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) continually applying pesticides to boost their crop production. Some of these pesticides have been banned or restricted but still find their ways into the farmers hands.

The black Matter: An Extrapolation of Pair Creation (Update)

Black matter is one of the greatest unknowns in the cosmos, despite being the most important gravitational component. Indeed, black matter is the most prevalent matter, and its bulk has an impact on the design of the universe. It has permitted the construction and preservation of cosmic structures. As a result, understanding the cosmos without knowing its qualities is extremely difficult. However, it only reacts to gravity and not to the other fundamental forces. It is not a weak reaction, but rather the complete lack of direct reactivity with full spin (even in our particle accelerators).

Origin, Distribution, Taxonomy, Botanical Description, Genetics and Cytogenetics, Genetic Diversity and Breeding of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.)

Enhancing the Nutritional Profile of Noodles Using Banana Blossom as Substitution to Normal Noodles: A Food System Approach

The banana bloom was employed in the creation of a pasta dish in the present study. Pasta was a highly desired delicacy that people liked consuming, and Filipinos had also incorporated pasta dishes into their celebrations of significant occasions, such as birthdays. Utilizing banana blossom as the primary component in the noodles could potentially provide health benefits associated with fortified noodles, emphasizing its positive impact on the well-being of the customer.

Banana Food Wrap and Cassava Bioplastic Packaging: Assessment of Biodegradability

Plastic pollution was identified as one of the main problems in the world, with plastic taking hundreds or thousands of years to decompose. Consequently, there has been a growing inclination towards utilizing biodegradable materials such as bioplastics for packaging purposes. Bioplastics can be derived from organic materials such as food waste, although it's important to note that not all bioplastics are biodegradable.

Illinois Agriculture Teacher Acceptance of Agriculture Biotechnology

Some nations have strictly regulated the cultivation of GMO crops, while critics have tried to raise the alarm on potential risks, environmental impact, social justice and ethical concerns regarding certain aspects of biotechnology. Given the recent advances and the benefits to those countries engaged in implementing biotechnology, and the scope of its use in so many countries, it is important that U.S. citizens understand what it is, and how it is employed.

Knowledge and Practices of Standard use of Chemical Pesticides and Hazardous Exposure Among Farmers in the Nyiragongo Health Zone, North Kivu, DRC

The Pesticides are mainly used in agriculture According to the FAO, 4,600,000 tonnes of pesticides are sprayed into the environment each year, or 146 kg of pesticides per second. Every year, 3 million people are poisoned by pesticides worldwide. Developing countries represent a quarter of the use of pesticides in the world, but record 99% of deaths caused by these same pesticides. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recommends good management practices pesticides that can minimize potential health risks for farmers and other users in public hygiene.
