Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola

There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

2. What is the Risk Management Program?
Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions – 40 CFR, Part 68
A risk management plan (RMP) is required for sites that store more
than a threshold quantity of a regulated substance
• Toxic materials – §68.130, Table 1
• Flammable materials – §68.130, Table 3
Three program levels of RMP requirements. Each RMP contains:
• Hazards Assessment
• Offsite Consequence Analysis
• 5-year Accident History
• Emergency Response & Accidental Release Prevention Policies
• Operating, Training, and Maintenance Procedures
• Incident Investigation
2
3. What changes were made?
January 13, 2017: RMP Amendments – Final Rule
• Clarify catastrophic release definition
• Expand incident investigations to include root cause
analysis
• Expand process hazard analysis (PHA) to include ALL
incident investigations (i.e. from similar processes)
• Require incident investigation completion within 12 months
• Require safer technology / alternatives feasibility analysis
• Require third-party compliance audits submitted to U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
• Annual coordination with local emergency responders
• Require emergency response exercises and reports
• Publicly available information and meetings

Protection Agency (EPA) extended the compliance date of
the January 13, 2017 amendments until February 19, 2019
◦ Delay allowed EPA to hold reconsideration hearings on
January 13, 2017 amendments, as rule is not effective
• EPA prepared a proposed rule modifying some of the
January 13, 2017 amendments
◦ Proposed rule issued May 30, 2018

9. Difference between must and should
• Although EPA is removing RMP requirements, does that
mean that you should not include them in your RMP?
◦ Should process supervisors be trained?
◦ Should incidents at similar operations be used when
reviewing process hazards analysis?
◦ Should incident investigations include a root cause
analysis?
• RMPs are developed using codes and standards, using
generally accepted good engineering practices
◦ Cite various codes and standards to support practices
included in RMP
◦ Is your RMP a document that satisfies the regulations,
or does it document your public protection program?
