    Change in Continuity at the Office of Legal Counsel

    Get PDF
    The papers presented by Professors Kmiec and McGinnis have certainly contributed a great deal to an understanding of the Attorney General\u27s opinion-writing function and the role of the Office of Legal Counsel ( OLC ) in the performance of that function. There is much in their papers with which I fully agree and not too much with which I disagree. I think it is important, however, to say a bit about historical context, particularly since we have a. new administration in Washington and new leadership in the Department of Justice. To the extent that OLC has a distinctive outlook on legal questions, it is shaped by two forces: first, the interests of the executive branch as a continuing institution, and second, the views of the particular administration or the relevant administration oficials. Anyone who ignores either of these forces will be surprised by how OLC functions

    Get PDF
    Background: Ante natal care is a care given for pregnant   mothers to ensure the safe progress of the pregnancy. According to the standard of the World health organization, a woman is expected to have at least four ante natal visits before the end of her pregnancy. The purpose of ante natal follow-up is for early identification and treatment of pregnancy related problems that can cost the life of both the mother and the growing fetus. Many health problems affecting varied communities in the world are directly related with deficiency of one or more nutrients. Anemia is a worldwide health problem even though its prevalence is much higher in third world countries especially among women who face an increase in iron demands targeted at satisfying iron requirements of the mother and the fetus. As primary prevention, pregnant women are advised to increase the intake of diets rich in iron such as meat, cereals and varied fruits. Anemia will end  in   multitudes  of  effects  and  complications unless  early  detection  and  treatment  is  there.  The effect doubles when it coincides with pregnancy.  Currently, there is no sufficient information on the magnitude of adherence to prophylactic ferrous sulphate supplementation among pregnant women attending Ante natal care in most public health facilities of Ethiopia and the study area in particular. Therefore, the purpose of this study was  to assess the  adherence  to  prophylactic  ferrous  sulphate  among  pregnant  women  attending  Ante natal care  in  Public  health  facilities  of   Arba-Minch  town, southern Ethiopia .The general objective of this study was to  assess    adherence  to  prophylactic  ferrous  sulphate among  pregnant  women  attending  ante natal  service  in  Public  health  facilities  of  Arba-Minch  town,2016. In the method section, a health institution   based   cross-sectional   study was conducted   in Public health facilities of Arba-Minch Town among 350 pregnant women who have visited public health facilities of Arba Minch town during   the   study   period .Primary data was collected by using structured interviewer administered Amharic version questionnaire. After the data were fully entered to Epi-info version 3.5.1, the analysis was made by using SPSS version 20.0. A bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with adherence. According to this study, iron intake for a minimum of three months during the whole course of pregnancy was 83(24.06%). In the multivariable analysis, obstetric characteristics were associated with adherence to prophylactic ferrous sulphate supplementation .There was significant association between adherence and gestational age (AOR=8.363 and CI=2.509-27.877).The odds of adherence was 8.363 times higher in the third trimester compared to the respondents in the second trimester. There was also significant association between adherence and the number of ante natal follow-ups (AOR= 2.321 and CI=1.087-4.955). The odds of adherence among the respondents with more than four antenatal follow -ups was 2.321 times higher compared to the respondents with less than or equal to four ante natal follow- ups. As the adherence rate to prophylactic ferrous sulphate among women attending public health facilities in Arba Minch Town was only 24.06%, all health professionals should continuously inform and encourage the pregnant women to increase Ante natal visits

    The Lord Resistance Army lead a rebellion in Northern Uganda that resulted into displacement of 2.2 million people into Internally Displaced Peoples Camps. The insurgency which span for two decades created a serious humanitarian crisis, people lived in camps without adequate water and sanitation facilities. Hand pump boreholes as source of water was not sufficient and as an emergency response, Government and International Relief Agencies motorized the boreholes and water supplied through piped systems. With peace, people returned to their original homes leaving behind the piped water infrastructures. Government with support from Development Partners initiated Water and Sanitation Development Facility programme as a mechanism for funding water and sanitation investments in all small towns. Through this programme, the emergence systems in the former IDP camps are being resized, rehabilitated and constructed to match the current population and development process, people are sensitised and so far changes are being registered

    Background: Surgery is one of biggest health related decisions done in one’s life with an outcome ranging in both extremes. It do have three phases. Preoperative, Intraoperative and Postoperative  phases. All the phases are interlinked and affect one another. Surgical outcomes are   found to be    affected by range of factors. Some of the factors could be social, financial, medical, immunological, and etc. Surgery as a professional procedure, is bound with multiples of concerns including clinical, professional, moral, Ethical and legal aspects. Appropriate health informations are an indispensable component of health care as well as surgery. Noting is known about the quality of perioperative informations provided in Public Hospitals of Gamo and Gofa Zones. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to assess the quality of perioperative informations provided and its associated factors among adult patients who undergone surgery in public hospitals of Gamo and Gofa Zones. Method and materials: A facility based mixed design study was conducted from March-April 2019 in Arba minch, Chencha and Sawla Hospitals, Southern Ethiopia. A simple random sampling technique was employed to select 410 study participants among admitted adult patients who undergone surgery. Bivariate logistic regression analysis was done to identify candidates for multivariable logistic regression analysis. Explanatory variables with a p-value of less than 0.25 in the bivariate logistic regression analysis were included in the initial logistic model of multivariable logistic regression. Finally, statistically significant associations of variables were determined based on an Adjusted Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and p-value <0.05. Result: the proportion of patients who received good quality perioperative informations are only 36.6%. In the multivariable analysis; Frequency of Hospital Visit  [AOR=2.604, 95% CI: 1.669-4.063],  Reasons for Hospital Visit [AOR = 2.370; 95% CI: 1.356-4.144], Previous Surgery [AOR = 2.370; 95% CI: 1.449-3.876], number of Previous Surgery [AOR = 1.808; 95% CI: 1.097-2.981], Place of Surgery[AOR =0.333; 95% CI:0.152-0.726], Surgical Professional [AOR =2.007; 95% CI:1.096-3.677] and Consenter [AOR =7.408; 95% CI:4.453-12.325] were significantly associated with the provision of good quality perioperative informations. Conclusion: According to this study, the proportion of patients who received good quality perioperative informations are only 36.6%.Therefore, all the concerned bodies must strive to improve the quality of informations to adult surgical patients
