The Impact

BackgroundThe medicine of pregnant women practices to a targeted personalized approach, tailored to the specific characteristics and needs the implications of interdisciplinary work between healthcare stakeholders. Perinatal pharmacology comprises the impact of substances (drugs, medications and others) in pregnant women, nursing mothers, the unborn child, the premature, the newborn baby and the breastfed baby. Most of the drugs are off-label used. In this field grand challenge for Frontiers in Medicine emphasizes the importance of translational medicine.AimThe primary goal of SAPP has always been and remains the same: it is the link between medicine and pharmacy, between practice, clinic, research and health authorities, in order to increase the safety of medicines in the population of pregnant and breastfeeding women and their newborns.1MethodsOn December 6, 2007, an interdisciplinary team of 8 physicians and pharmacists founded the Swiss Association of Perinatal Pharmacology, SAPP. It collects and promotes new findings in the field of perinatal pharmacology.ResultsSpecialists from all areas of perinatal pharmacology work together in a scientific committee to develop and update evidence-based principles for work in everyday clinical practice (hospitals, doctor´s surgeries, pharmacies). Today, around 200 members benefit from this, who can orient themselves in regular further training courses and basic documents (monographs of active substances, therapy recommendations based on original literature). The SAPP thus closes the gap resulting from the predominant off-label use and the resulting lack of information on drugs in this population.ConclusionThe primary objective of SAPP has been achieved - it provides guidance for the practioners in the broad field of perinatal pharmacology and bridges the gap caused by the lack of drug approvals in this population. Long-term survival will be ensured by measures anchored in law.Referencewww.sappinfo.chDisclosure(s)Nothing to disclose

The Impact

<p>One of the grand challenges of climate is predicting and modeling tropical rainfall. Here, we address a specific problem of this grand challenge, namely how does the vertical structure of the atmosphere affect the tropical circulation and the position of the ITCZ during the seasonal cycle and in response to increased CO<sub>2</sub>. The tropical circulation can be described by the column-integrated budget of moist static energy (MSE). We use this framework in the TRAC-MIP model ensemble to investigate the role of the vertical structure of the tropical atmosphere in setting the anti-correlation between the ITCZ location and the atmospheric energy transport.</p><p>TRACMIP "The Tropical Rain belts with an Annual cycle and Continent - Model Intercomparison Project" is a set of idealized simulations that are designed to study the tropical rain belt response to past and future forcings. TRACMIP includes 13 comprehensive CMIP5-class atmosphere models and one simplified atmospheric model. Importantly, TRACMIP includes a slab ocean with prescribed ocean heat transport. This leads to a closed surface energy balance and forces the annual-mean ITCZ to be north of the equator, consistent with today’s climate.</p><p>We use the MSE budget framework to diagnose the seasonal evolution of vertical velocity from the energetic terms in the MSE budget equation. We obtain a diagnostic expression for the vertical velocity. By means of the MSE budget framework we estimate the efficiency of exporting energy from the atmospheric column, which is defined as the gross moist stability (GMS). The GMS characterizes the stability of the tropical troposphere related to moist convective processes in the tropospheric column. We use the MSE and GMS analysis to disentangle the impact of deep and shallow circulations on energy transport, vertical velocity and hence precipitation in an objective manner.</p><p>Through this work we aim to elucidate to what extent model uncertainty in simulations of future ITCZ changes are caused by model differences in the vertical structure of the atmosphere. We also hope to use the results to advance our understanding of the tropical climate and to assess the plausibility of simulated changes in tropical rainfall.</p>

The Impact

This study is a descriptive correlational study which determined the impact of the utilization of financial resources on the development of school facilities and services for students and teachers. Teachers, Supreme Student Council (SSG) Officers, class mayors, student athletes, Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) Officers, disbursing officer, bookkeeper and supply officer were the respondents of this study. They gave a reliable information regarding the utilization of financial resources. Findings revealed that Maintence and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE), Special Education Fund (SEF) and other financial resources were well implemented and the development they have given to the school facilities and services for students and teachers was very satisfactory. Effective utilization of MOOE increased the positive perceptions of the respondents about the welfare and development of school facilities and services for students and teachers in terms of academic achievement and other school performance indicators. Thus, MOOE and SEF should be utilized according to the approved budget where the teachers, PTA officers and School Governing Council (SGC) members will be part of the budget hearing. School administrators should involve all the teachers and some stakeholders in budget planning and implementation and should follow the budget specifications in planning and implementation to avoid diversion of funds.
