Perceptions of Health Sciences Students of an Introductory Interprofessional Education Course
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 4/1/2017
Interprofessional education allows for effective collaborative practice by educating health care professionals to work together to produce patient-centered care. As health care moves to a team approach, it is important for higher education to prepare students before they enter the clinical environment.

Comparison of transmission parameters between Anopheles argyritarsis and Anopheles pseudopunctipennis in two ecologically different localities of Bolivia
No full textBackground: Anopheles (Anopheles) pseudopunctipennis is a recognized malaria vector in the slopes of the Andes of Bolivia. There, other species might be involved in malaria transmission and one candidate could be Anopheles argyritarsis. Although it is generally admitted that this species is not a malaria vector in the neotropical region, its potential role in transmission is still controversial and this situation has to be cleared, at least for Bolivia. Comparing the vectorial efficiency of An. pseudopunctipennis with that of An. argyritarsis could solve the question. Methods: The two species were sampled throughout Bolivia to estimate their degree of co-existence in their distribution range. Vectorial efficiencies of the two species were compared in two ecologically different localities where the species were sympatric by analysing their vectorial capacities and components (i e, human biting rates, human biting index, survival, durations of the gonotrophic cycle and extrinsic cycle), and the entomological inoculation rates (EIR). Mosquitoes were sampled monthly during more than one year in the two localities. A monthly sample consisted in hourly captures in four houses (inside and outside) in each locality, during four consecutive nights. Climatic variables (temperature, humidity, potential evapo-transpiration and precipitations) were recorded to better understand variability in the entomological parameters. Relationships were analysed using multivariate methods. Results: Anopheles pseudopunctipennis and An. argyritarsis are "altitude" species, sharing the same geographical distribution range in the Andes of Bolivia. No Plasmodium parasite was identified in An. argyritarsis and estimates of the vectorial capacity indicated that it is not a malaria vector in the two studied localities, unlike An. pseudopunctipennis which showed positive EIRs. This latter species, although not a very good malaria vector, exhibited better life traits values and better behavioural characteristics in favour of transmission as compared to An. argyritarsis. Conclusions: In the Andes of Bolivia, above 1000 m of altitude, An. pseudopunctipennis is likely to be the only malaria vector. There, it is present almost everywhere and priority control effort should be directed toward this species. Below 1000 m of altitude, vector incrimination should also be focused on other sympatric species (likely not An. argyritarsis) that might be locally important. From the present study, candidates would be among Anopheles rangeli, Anopheles triannulatus s.l., Anopheles trinkae, Anopheles nuneztovari s.l., Anopheles oswaldoi s.l. and Anopheles benarrochi s
Anopheles of Bolivia : new records with an updated and annotated checklist
No full textAnopheles squamifemur has been identified from CDC light trap collections carried out at Arca de Israel, a small community located in the extreme north-east of Bolivia (Pando Department) on the banks of the river Madera, on the border with Brazil. Anopheles costai and An. forattinii have been identified in place of An. mediopunctatus which has been removed from the Bolivian list of Anopheles species. The first identification of An. trinkae in Bolivia by Dr. J.C. Lien in 1984 is cleared. The presence of An. deaneorum in Bolivia has been confirmed by our mosquito captures carried out in Guayaramerin (Pando Department, north-east of Bolivia), a border city separated from the type locality of An. deaneorum, the Brasilian city of Guajara-Mirin, by the large Mamore River. These new findings increase to 43 the total number of known Anopheles species for Bolivia for which an updated and partially annotated checklist is given. To cite this article: F. Lardeux et al., C.

Comercializadora Y Distribuidora De Bebidas Alcohólicas en el Municipio De Montelíbano Córdoba Colombia
No full text“La cavita MIP” es una idea que surge en la oportunidad forjada por el gasto de los hogares
colombianos dedicado a la compra de licores, por lo que se busca la posibilidad de ganar una
participación importante en este sector, donde la empresa se dedique directamente a la distribución y
comercialización de licores con reconocimiento nacional e internacional que permitan tener un
portafolio amplio de productos. Para reforzar el reconocimiento de la marca y generar una mayor
participación en el mercado se hará la apertura de un bar donde se ofrezcan diferentes bebidas o
mezclas directamente a los consumidores.
“La cavita MIP” se orientará a distribuir bebidas embriagantes nacionales e importadores a personas
de barrio, así como a la comercialización de estos licores a través de un establecimiento comercial
ubicado en la calle Calle 15 N 15-06 barrio Villa Libia monte Líbano, para fortalecer el
reconocimiento de la marca, donde se atenderá población entre los 18 y 55 años, ya que en este rango
de edades se encuentra el mayor potencial de consumidores de alcohol, quienes buscan actividades
de ocio que les permita departir con sus amistades en lugar donde puedan escuchar música, hablar y

Laboratory colonization of Anopheles pseudopunctipennis (Diptera : Culicidae) without forced mating
No full textAnopheles pseudopunctipennis is one of the main malaria vectors in the Andean regions of South America. Few experimental data exist on this species because it is not very available in laboratories due to its eurygamic status that makes colony maintenance difficult. Indeed, individuals do not mate in the confined space of insectary cages. To avoid this problem, forced artificial mating can be used. However, this technique is time consuming, requires a well-trained technician, and is inadequate for easy mass production, which is sometimes necessary for certain experimental works. This study presents a technique based on exposure of adult mosquitoes to a blue stroboscopic light for 20 min during several nights, which encourages them to copulate naturally under laboratory conditions. After some generations, a self-free-mating strain was obtained. The technique is simple, inexpensive and is probably effective whatever the An. pseudopunctipennis strain considered
Assessing the Socio-economic Impact of Rural Road Projects in Nicaragua: A Study of the Road Integration Program II
No full textThis thesis focuses on rural roads in Nicaragua, specifically examining the socio-economic impact of the Road Integration Program II between 2017 and 2022. In addition to contributing to the suggested areas for research in the literature on rural roads, this study complements the existing evaluation of the program, which primarily focused on short-term economic indicators. The research approach employed in this thesis includes a case study of the Road Integration Program II, utilizing secondary data sources and analyzing it using a before-and-after and with-and-without approach between intervened and nonintervened municipalities. The findings from this research provide evidence that the program has had a positive impact on formal employment. However, the impact on health is only evident on one of the two roads, while there is no significant impact on school enrollment rates, with a decrease observed in the ratio of girls to boys in secondary school on one of the roads. Consequently, the main conclusions drawn from this study highlight that rural roads, while offering substantial socio-economic benefits, require additional policies to be effective. The author presents policy recommendations regarding the promotion of the transport sector, tourism, and agriculture, investments in human capital, gender mainstreaming, and improvements in data collection
