Changing the paradigm : reflections on experiences in workshops to reduce stigma and discrimination in mental health services : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at Massey University

One of the key objectives of the national Like Minds, Like Mine project against stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness is to work with the mental health sector to change attitudes and behaviour through education and policy development. This action research thesis examines the effectiveness of workshops aimed at reducing the stigma and discrimination within mental health services. Most hospital based mental health services were developed within the 'medical model' based on professional power. Non-discriminatory services are seen to be those that support a 'recovery model', as promulgated by the Mental Health Commission, which is based on partnership and participation by service users. For many services this requires a change in their culture. This research examines the effectiveness of workshops designed to support such cultural change, facilitated by people with experience of mental illness. Observation, evaluation and reflection on two workshops, and the findings of a literature search informed practices, with new techniques developed and trialled

Assessment of three alternative methods for bacterial disinfection of hatching eggs in comparison with conventional approach in commercial broiler hatcheries

The disinfection of commercial hatching eggs before incubation is a common strategy to reduce potential vertical transmission of bacterial and fungal infections from the eggshell to one-day-old chicks that may prevail in poultry products and eventually reach the end consumer. The present investigation focuses on the parallel testing and application of four different disinfection methods (conventional and alternative) under commercial hatchery conditions against natural eggshell bacterial contamination. Hatching eggs from two ROSS 308 broiler breeder flocks were selected and divided into six different groups: two groups were not disinfected and served as negative controls, and four were independently disinfected following product specifications and protocols. From each group, a sample of 100 hatching eggs was selected for bacterial re-isolation, utilizing a modified shell rinse method. Colony-forming units (cfu) from the shell rinse suspensions were determined and analyzed to establish cfu values for each tested egg. These values were analyzed to determine the bacterial disinfection capacity of the four disinfection methods under commercial hatchery conditions. The tested methods were hydrogen peroxide + alcohol, peracetic acid, low energy electron beam, and the gold standard in practice: formaldehyde. Among these methods, formaldehyde, peracetic acid, and low energy electron beam showed a significant difference when compared to the non-disinfected groups whereas hydrogen peroxide + alcohol did not. The bacterial disinfection capacity of the tested methods was compared as well to the gold standard method formaldehyde fumigation and only low energy electron beam achieved similar disinfection levels as formaldehyde. According to our data, three methods significantly reduce the bacterial load on the eggshell of hatching eggs under commercial hatching conditions, including potential alternative methods such as low energy electron beam that perform similar to the gold standard in practice

Efficacy of six disinfection methods against extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli on eggshells in vitro

The presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli on poultry products is an important issue for veterinary and human health due to the zoonotic infection risk for producers and consumers. The present study focuses on testing the efficacy of six different disinfection methods on eggshell samples, aiming to reduce ESBL producing E. coli contamination on the hatching egg. Sterile eggshell cutouts were artificially contaminated with 10(8) cfu/ml CTX-M-1 producing E. coli and used as a carrier model to analyze the efficacy of six disinfection methods. The contaminated samples were separated into two groups; 1) contaminated and disinfected, 2) contaminated and non-disinfected. Six independent disinfection protocols were performed following product specifications and protocols. Each eggshell sample was separately crushed, and the total viable bacterial count was calculated to determine the disinfection efficacy. Five out of six tested methods (formaldehyde gassing, hydrogen peroxide + alcohol spray, essential oils spray, peracetic acid foam, and low energetic electron radiation) demonstrated a reduction or completely eliminated the initial ESBL producing E. coli contamination. One method (essential oils as cold fog) only partly reached the expected efficacy threshold (reduction of >10(2) cfu/ml) and the result differed significantly when compared to the reference method i.e. formaldehyde gassing

Ritual Asyeik Sebuah Fenomena Budaya Menjadi Estetik Penciptaan Film Dokumenter

The documentary film "Rites of Life" has the meaning of the encounter between the living soul with the soul of the dead, which is the essence of the ritual event Asyeik. Meeting a living soul with the soul of a dead ancestor spirits meetings with their children and grandchildren, this event is called by the people of Dusun Empih as events and event silaturrahmi with Spirit Ancestors. Ancestor Spirit emerge into a living soul when experienced dancers possessed. Summons Spirit Ancestors done through a spell or ritual Asyeik poems. Asyeik ritual is a sacred ceremony, the ceremony calling of the Spirit Ancestors. This sacred ceremony is performed involving certain people, such as people who have magical powers called shaman (pengasouh). Shamans act as intermediaries between the living soul and the souls of the dead. In the process of realizing reality in the form of a documentary film requires sensitivity Imagination and creative ideas. The creation of this film work departs from the idea and the ideas embodied in the phenomenon and the reality of ritual Asyeik. New ideas and is described to be a theme in the creation of a documentary film work using an interactive style. More interactive style of the narrative were focused on the process of shooting the film, and a more interactive style show where the subject and the characters in the film. In the creation of works of the film will combine the two styles. The work of this documentary will be created in the form of approach is also called experimental film. In this film form pengkarya / director will conduct exploration tergadap eksprimentasi and shooting, then compiled with the aim of providing a dramatic effect, the emotions the audience
