How transparency and accountability can make development work Twaweza
Transparency and accountability can energize development by creating opportunities for people to know, connect and act, and by providing incentives for those in charge to be more responsive and deliver. Transparency and accountability enables citizens to reclaim government and make services work for them.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

3. H
African govts, NGOs, experts
and their donor ‘partners’
spend huge energy on
policies, plans and budgets
4. Does it work?
Do public funds reach people?
Do services work for the poor?
Does governance solve problems?
How do people get by and get on?
We decided to find out…
6. Immersion Approach
Entering life-worlds of host communities
No ‘development speak’
No questionnaires, FGDs, etc
Open-ended conversations & observations
Open to surprises
9. “Our village was close to Lake Victoria, but water had to
be purchased at Tshs 200 per 20 litres or fetched from
the Lake at 1.2 km away. Most collected water from the
Lake, but we never saw it being boiled”.
10. “In our village, there
were two pumps with
clean water, each within
half an hour of the
majority of people’s
homes. But as only half
the village had
contributed to the
payments for the pumps,
the other half did not
have any access to this
clean water. This young
girl is holding the
padlock.”
11. Some had water 365 days,
for others it was a struggle
Women had to walk or bike long
... at times for several hours
to get water
Dilapidated at health facilities …
and none at schools
12. 50%+ water points not functional
(broken, stolen, locked, dried-up)
Bucket of water up to Tshs 300/-
(more 10x cost to my house)
Water often contaminated, untreated
(too expensive to boil),
Water-borne illnesses common
15. “This was the government health centre. There was no
doctor, only a ward attendant. The patient in this photo
came in with a very high fever. She put him on the bed
like this and left. A little later she came back and gave
him malaria tablets, but she did not do any examination
or any tests. His friend said he would bring him food
later from the school where they were boarding.”
16. “Our host family’s daughter had sickle cell anemia. We
watched as our host mother spoke with the ward
attendant. The ward attendant asked the mother what
medicine the daughter should be prescribed. But she said
she only had medicine for malaria and paracetamol. She
asked the mother if she could give the daughter the
malaria medicine for her sickle cell anemia.”
17.
18. In my village you had to resort
to private care:
“Nurses run their own drug store
in the town and medicines are
not prescribed from the clinic
but patients are encouraged to
go to the drug store in town”.
19. “In the neighboring village there is a good clinic,
built by an NGO, but it’s only for HIV/ Aids testing.
People cannot take their children with diarrhea and
malaria there.”
25. Newer buildings worse than older ones
Many unfinished buildings
and insufficient desks
despite parental contributions
Pit latrines inadequate, no water
26. In one village:
Primary school in process of
constructing toilets for past
three years
Parents have had to contribute
money and one brick per child
every Monday for three years
Mama M has personally ferried
over 200 bricks to the school as
her family’s contribution.
She says:
27. “In [our village] we do
development every Monday,
but it only benefits the
officials. Our conditions get
worse with this type of
development. With all the
money and bricks parents
have given to the school,
three years down the line
and the walls of the toilets
don’t even measure up to
the height of this one year
old child!”
28. “Last year we received capitation grant of Tshs 3,700. It is
not enough, but we are grateful it as at least something.”
(Q: Do you know how much it is supposed to be?)
“No, is it supposed to be a certain amount?”
(Q: The policy says it should be $10/yr, or about 13,000)
“Oh! I did not know!”
(Q: What will you do to ensure you get the full amount?)
“Nothing,” [laughs] “When your father gives you
something, you say thank you, you don’t ask questions,
you don’t ask whether it should be more.”
29. “An old Mzee got fed up of paying school ‘contributions’
of 10,000/- each time, and not seeing the fruits of that
money. So he refused to pay again until he got a proper
income and expenditure report read out in public. The
authorities tried to quieten him, but the old Mzee was
adamant. The meeting ended in some disarray. Two days
later the local militia (sungu sungu) visited his farm,
demanded to search it, and ‘found’ a marijuana plant. He
was told that he could be jailed for many years, unless…
The old Mzee parted with two cows and Tshs 200,000/- to
stop matters going further.
After that, do you think he or anybody else
will speak up again?”
30. Students have virtually no access to books
(locked up for safety)
Less resources now because
capitation grant has declined
No functional libraries
Language of instruction confusion
Overall, no learning
31. So what did the immersion
teach us about
the state of development?
32. There is a lot of activity, but on closer look
We have hollow shells,
hardware not software,
dysfunctional governance,
veneers & pretenses of progress,
“isomorphic mimicry”
high costs and serious inequities.
Little care, little health, little learning
33. And little faith in ‘officialdom’, on
School committees to solve problems
Village Councils to air views
Local officials to ensure accountability
deliver, be responsive
Or elections to make a difference…
(“whoever wins will eat”)
34. In short, few believed that
Government would transform lives
35. … and even less placed their hope in NGOs
(with long acronyms)
36. The ‘official development’ side of life (whether
governance, public services, or NGO work) is
dysfunctional, delivers little, supports few,
inspires almost no one
Raising serious questions about value-for-
money, elite-capture, accountability and our
theory of development as a whole.
37. Is this African-led development?
Who is on the other side of
African-led?
The ‘we’ and the ‘they’ is
not so clear
38. In the meantime…
While official development rings hollow
there are lots of people
doing their thing
Perhaps
‘leading’ their own development?
