    Background :Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) it can result in impaired insulin secretion or action. This disease is caused by pancreatic disorders which can reduce insulin production, resulting in disturbances in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Factors that can influence t diabetes mellitus are age, gender, history of gestational diabetes, hereditary, hypertension, physical activity, weight and height. The danger of this disease if not addressed it can be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes mellitus. The low level of public knowledge about the risk of diabetes is one of the causes for experiencing the disease. Screening can help to avoid this disease. Where screening is an examination carried out to detect someone who does not have complaints by checking blood sugar (GDS) and blood pressure Objective :To know the description of the risk of diabetes, blood sugar levels (GDS) and blood pressure in the community in RT 07 Talang Betutu Village Methods :This study used a descriptive survey method with a cross sectional approach. The sample was 72 respondents, used the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using diabetes risk observation sheet and checking blood sugar levels (GDS) and blood pressure. It was conducted in RT 07 Talang Betutu Village Results :Respondents’ research results showed that respondents had a low risk of diabetes mellitus (86.1%), most of the respondents GDS values <200 mg/dL (88.9%) and most of the respondents' blood pressure was in the hipertensi category (65,3%). Suggestion :This research can be used as a reference for further researchers to continue research by developing this research into the relationship between diabetes risk factors and the incidence of diabetes.

    In the context of huge problems engendered by the European agricultural policy and related to rural area development, the rural area on the whole needs new perspectives to ensure a positive evolution of the human communities. Romania, a member of the European Union for over 5 years now, needs to valorise all its natural, human, and cultural resources of the rural area to be able to face a strong competition and to maintain biodiversity

    Animal vulnerability and the necessity of protecting them

    Get PDF
    In Romania, there are at least 14 animal species represented by 123 animal breeds and pure lines listed on the List of animal genetic resources in critical state, threatened, or vulnerable. Though these animal species need to be protected, their conservation has not been supported financially. These categories of vulnerable animals are represented by: 13 sheep breeds, 19 fish species and breeds, 2 goat breeds, 2 swine breeds, 4 goose breeds, 61 chicken breeds and pure lines, 7 turkey populations, 7 duck breeds, the Romanian buffalo, and a bovine breed, the Sură de stepă

    Emergency situations in soil pollution by animal wastes

    The analysed indices were identical during the entire research period, and so were the measurement methods used in the laboratory (pH, total humus, total nitrogen, mobile phosphorus, potassium). The evolution of the soil pollution by animal wastes from the farm animals in the Arad area point out a high level of soil pollution because of the low values of the pH, of the low soil bonitation scores, of the secondary compaction in the first genetic horizon. After a poultry farms ceases to operate, soil pollution persists, with a slight tendency to decrease naturally

    Multi-use of the sea as a sustainable development instrument in five eu sea basins

    Get PDF
    This paper examines the concept of maritime multi-use as a territorial/SPATIAL governance instrument for the enhancement of sustainable development in five EU sea basins. Multi-use (MU) is expected to enhance the productivity of blue economy sectors, as well as deliver additional socio-economic benefits related to the environmental and social dimensions of sustainable development. The paper provides a definition of maritime multi-use and identifies the multi-uses with the highest potential in EU sea basins. In each sea basin, multi-use plays a different role as concerns sustainable development. For the Eastern Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, the MU focus should remain on the environmental pillar of sustainable development. In the North Sea, North Atlantic and Western Baltic Sea, addressing social sustainability seems a key precondition for success of MU in enhancement of sustainable spatial development at sea. Moreover, it has been suggested to introduce MU key global strategies such as SDGs or Macroregional strategies and action plans and to supplement maritime spatial planning with sectoral incentives and educational efforts as key vehicles supporting MU. The paper concludes by identifying aspects which, in order to inform maritime spatial planning and maritime governance regarding a more conscious application of the aforementioned concept, require further investigation. Key tasks are related to: more profound evaluation of performance of policies supporting MUs, researching the impact of MU on societal goals and on the MU costs and benefits, including external ones, and finally identifying the impact of MU on the development of various sectors and regions on land

    Adaptations Made to Pediatric Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Service Delivery During the Early Months of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A North American Multisite Survey.

    BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic led to rapid changes in clinical service delivery across hospital systems nationally. Local realities and resources were key driving factors impacting workflow changes, including for pediatric consultation-liaison psychiatry service (PCLPS) providers.ObjectiveThis study aims to describe the early changes implemented by 22 PCLPSs from the United States and Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding similarities and differences in adaptations made to PCLPS care delivery can inform best practices and future models of care.MethodsA 20-point survey relating to PCLPS changes during the COVID-19 pandemic was sent to professional listservs. Baseline hospital demographics, hospital and PCLPS workflow changes, and PCLPS experience were collected from March 20 to April 28, 2020, and from August 18 to September 10, 2020. Qualitative data were collected from responding sites. An exploratory thematic analysis approach was used to analyze the qualitative data that were not dependent on predetermined coding themes. Descriptive statistics were calculated using Microsoft Excel.ResultsTwenty-two academic hospitals in the United States and Canada responded to the survey, with an average of 303 beds/hospital. Most respondents (18/22) were children's hospitals. Despite differences in regional impact of COVID-19 and resource availability, there was significant overlap in respondent experiences. Restricted visitation to one caregiver, use of virtual rounding, ongoing trainee involvement, and an overall low number of COVID-positive pediatric patients were common. While there was variability in PCLPS care delivery occurring virtually versus in person, all respondents maintained some level of on-site presence. Technological limitations and pediatric provider preference led to increased on-site presence.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first multicenter study exploring pandemic-related PCLPS changes in North America. Findings of this study demonstrate that PCLPSs rapidly adapted to COVID-19 realities. Common themes emerged that may serve as a model for future practice. However, important gaps in understanding their effectiveness and acceptability need to be addressed. This multisite survey highlights the importance of establishing consensus through national professional organizations to inform provider and hospital practices
