Print version The second Urban and Regional Studies Institute Research Conference was held on June, 11th, 2003 in the Academiegebouw in Groningen. The chairman of URSI, prof. Van Dijk, started this day with an introduction. After that, several PhD-researchers presented their paper. For every presentation, there were discussants and a chairman. The presentations took about 30 minutes each and had two subjects. Firstly short introduction in the general project of the student and secondly presentation of a specific paper. Another Ph.D.-student discussed this paper afterwards. The presentations and discussions lead to many diverse and enthusiastic questions and debates between staff and students. These discussions were also continues during lunch and drinks, so apparently it was a good thing to get together and discuss the status quo of our research. The PhD-students who gave a presentation were: Sarbani Banerjee about Strategizing first birth across cultures and birth cohorts.

Extractions: John W. Santrock Principles of the effects of teratogens Continue the treatment of the concept of interaction with a lecture about the principles governing the effects of teratogens. You will also find that this material provides opportunities to expand and clarify other developmental constructs as well. A good source of these principles is the third edition of Hetherington and Parke's (1986) Child Psychology: A Contemporary View. Six principles listed and discussed there (pp. 108-111) include (a) the effects of a teratogen vary with the developmental stage of the embryo; (b) because individual teratogens influence specific developmental processes, they produce specific developmental deviations; (c) both maternal and fetal genotypes can affect the developing organism's response to teratogenic agents and may play an important role in the appearance of abnormalities in offspring; (d) the physiological or pathological status of the mother will influence the action of a teratogen; (e) the level of teratogenic agent which will produce malformations in the offspring may show no or mild detrimental effects on the mother; and (f) one teratogen may result in a variety of deviations, and several different teratogens may produce the same deviation. As you present each principle, relate it to the concept of interaction and other developmental concepts. For example, the first principle is an example of interaction in which developmental level mediates the influence of a specific experience. This seems to be related to the concepts of critical/sensitive period, fixation, and developmental readiness. The third principle provides a complicated example of heredity/environment interaction, and an example of dyadic interaction ( albeit at the physiological level.
Extractions: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a spectrum of inflam-matory disorders of the female genital tract involving at least the endrometrium and may include the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic cavity. Over 1 million women each year are treated for PID in the United States, and it is one of the most serious infections diagnosed in women due to its sequelae. Women with PID acutely experience pain and are at risk for sepsis; however, the significant increases in ectopic pregnancy and infertility are the most disturbing long-term complications. It most often is initiated with an infection by a sexually transmitted disease, but can also involve a variety of pathogenic aerobes and anaerobes secondarily.

See page 1429 for definitions of strength-of-recommendation labels. E ach year in the United States, approximately 1 million adolescents, or 10 percent of females 15 to 19 years of age, become pregnant. These pregnancies, which account for 13 percent of all births, usually are unintended and occur outside of marriage. Since 1991, the adolescent pregnancy rate in the United States has fallen by 25 percent, from 116 to 87 per 1,000 females 15 to 19 years of age. This decline has been attributed to delayed initiation of sexual intercourse, increased use of contraception, and education about human immunodeficiency virus transmission and pregnancy prevention. Despite the decline, adolescent pregnancy remains a major public health problem with lasting repercussions.

Extractions: Medical Intelligence At Your Fingertips Dr. Anver Kuliev of Reproductive Genetics Institute at Chicago, has appeared in a recent news headline, Chicago lab key in helping create babies to aid siblings. This news has raised some unsettled issues concerning the appropriateness of "genetics action" and "genetics intervention" on human lives especially from unborn to new born babies. These issues are complex. The controversy debated by the general public seems to be focused on the motives and action results of these genetics activities. Often the debates are made emotionally, not based on scientific facts and rational thoughts. People sometimes do not have a clear understanding of what and how these genetics activities are done. In this article, we present some relevant information concerning the "genetics actions" and "genetics interventions" without taking a position on the debated issues. The information presented here should not be regarded as expert opinions. They are the results of limited literature research with the purpose of gathering the relevant information in one place for readers to gain a quick grasp of the concepts and facts about these genetics activities. Through the discussion and references provided here, readers can pursue more in-depth study of these topics. With better understanding of the scientific facts, people can arrive at rational conclusions on controversy issues.

Extractions: May 26, 2001 The annual general meeting adopted the proposed new Code of Ethics for the profession ( PJ , April 28, ), subject only to minor amendment. The meeting rejected a proposal to delete a statement that, before accepting employment, pharmacists should disclose any factor that might affect their ability to provide services. Presenting the proposed new code to the meeting, BILL DARLING, chairman of the Code of Ethics working party, reminded those present that at the 2000 AGM he had presented part of the revised code, namely Part 1, Part 2 and the standard for provision of services via the internet. He had said then that the Council needed further time to consider fully the outcome of consultation, and to take into account the impact of new legislation upon the code, in particular the Competition Act and the Data Protection Act. During the past 12 months much work had taken place to ensure as far as possible that the code before the meeting would not able to be challenged in the courts, in particular, by the Office of Fair Trading. Every word and every syllable had been examined to try to achieve that situation. Effect of Competition Act Perhaps the most important element of the scrutiny had been the Competition Act. The Society had been informed by leading counsel that pharmacy was not a profession exempt from Section 2 of the Act and that the code, constituting the agreed practice of the profession, fell fairly and squarely within the provision of the Act. The Society had also been told that anything that distorted or restricted competition would offend against the Act and that the Act did not permit a public interest defence.
