The present position paper on the use of portable monitoring (PM) as a diagnostic tool for obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSAH) in adults was based on consensus and expert opinion regarding best practice standards from stakeholders across Canada. These recommendations were prepared to guide appropriate clinical use of this new technology and to ensure that quality assurance standards are adhered to. Clinical guidelines for the use of PM for the diagnosis and management of OSAH as an alternative to in-laboratory polysomnography published by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Portable Monitoring Task Force were used to tailor our recommendations to address the following: indications; methodology including physician involvement, physician and technical staff qualifications, and follow-up requirements; technical considerations; quality assurance; and conflict of interest guidelines. When used appropriately under the supervision of a physician with training in sleep medicine, and in conjunction with a comprehensive sleep evaluation, PM may expedite treatment when there is a high clinical suspicion of OSAH.

ABSTRACT The American Petroleum Institute Spill Response and Effects Task Force has developed guidelines (a “model plan”) for use of dispersants on spilled oil. This model plan is consistent with subpart H of the National Contingency Plan and provides the information needed to implement subpart H. The model plan addresses the questions of where, when, why, and how dispersants should be used and what materials should be used. The components of the model plan are the following:Detailed descriptions of most of the currently used methods for making dispersant use decisionsA dispersant use information form (Federal Region VI format)Discussion of the technical basis for dispersant use decision makingTabulations of properties (specific gravity, viscosity, pour point, and sulfur content) of oils transported through or produced in the area of interest, including an indication of relative dispersibility of each of these productsInventories of dispersants and application equipmentA quality assurance/quality control planLiterature on dispersant application techniques. The purpose of developing this model plan is to provide a format that may be used to establish consistent regional and local dispersant use plans throughout the country.

Teacher Policy

This article is based on an analysis of the leading UNESCO documents on quality assurance in teacher education (Teacher Policy Development Guide (2019), Reimagining our futures together – A new social contract for education (2021), The Futures of Teaching: Background paper prepared for the Futures of Education Initiative (2021)) focuses on the determinants for increasing the effectiveness of teachers' work. The reports also highlight the factors which make teachers more effective and satisfied in their work, create a positive attitude, increase motivation and improve pupils' success, as illustrated by the study of the education systems of various countries. They state that a comprehensive national policy for teachers backed by suffi-cient resources, the necessary political will and appropriate administrative skills is the most effective of all possible investments in education at the national level.The recommendations of the UNESCO International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 are reviewed. The UNESCO Teacher Policy Development Guide aims to foster professionalism and teaching excel-lence, including strategies for recruiting and training talented teachers. The Guide is intended to assist gov-ernmental institutions and structures responsible for education policy at the national level. The Guide aims to help educators and educational planners and policy-makers coordinate educational policies with national education sector plans and strategies. The Guide emphasises in particular that education policy should reflect the specifics of the country, but should also be based on the progressive experience of other countries and international organisations.
