    <p>The paper uploaded above describes the Chemical and heat treatment methods employed to bring down the bioburden of microorganisms on the Cannabis Plants. Over-the-counter prescriptions of Cannabis is fast emerging in many European countries as well as Australia. To ensure patient safety, regulatory bodies in those respective countries are ensuring the Cannabis Cultivators are following strict  Good Agricultural and Collection Practices(GACP) and Good Manufacturing Practices( GMP)  so that Cannabis dispensed for inhalation is low as possbile on microorganisms. In this paper, chemical as well as heat treatments are explored to draw a conclusion on which method could be employed to reduce the bioburden to an acceptable limit as per the Cannabis monograph.</p&gt

    <p>La <strong>formulation d'aliments pour les animaux domestiques</strong> vise à concevoir des rations équilibrées adaptées aux besoins nutritionnels des espèces élevées. Elle commence par l’<strong>analyse des besoins nutritionnels</strong> (énergie, protéines, minéraux, vitamines) selon l’espèce, suivie du choix des <strong>ingrédients</strong> (céréales, tourteaux, minéraux, prémix). Ensuite, différentes <strong>méthodes de formulation</strong> sont utilisées, allant des calculs manuels aux logiciels spécialisés, afin d’optimiser la ration en fonction des objectifs de production. Enfin, les rations sont <strong>testées et ajustées</strong> en fonction des performances animales pour garantir une alimentation efficace et économique.</p&gt

    Assessing the Quality of Peer Reviews in Public Health: Use of a Standardised Proforma among Online Course Participants

    No full text
    <p>This study, “Assessing the Quality of Peer Reviews in Public Health: Use of a Standardised Proforma among Online Course Participants,” evaluates a newly developed proforma designed to standardize peer reviews of public health research papers. The proforma was implemented within an online peer review training course for African health researchers, where 210 participants completed structured reviews of a public health preprint.</p> <p>The proforma combined multiple-choice and open-ended questions assessing comprehension, critical appraisal, and editorial judgment. Participant responses were systematically compared with a model answer prepared by course tutors. Results showed that only 13% of participant recommendations matched the tutors’ “approve with major reservations” decision, and only 11% achieved six or more points out of a possible eight on the critical appraisal section. Free-text responses from these high scorers were further evaluated using a five-criteria rubric (mean score = 21/25), showing high inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.939, 95% CI [0.876–0.972], p < 0.0001).</p> <p>The findings demonstrate the feasibility of using a standardized proforma as a scalable tool for training and evaluating peer review quality in public health, with potential application in future educational and capacity-building programs.</p&gt
