Non-destructive quality evaluation of agricultural products particularly during postharvest stage has been a primary concern in recent years. The laser-based imaging technology is one of the most promising non-invasive tools which demonstrate potential ability to replace the conventional methods of quality monitoring that are time-consuming, expensive, laborious, inaccurate and most of all destructive. Hence, in this paper, we briefly reviewed the potential application of laser-light backscattering imaging technique (LLBI) as a non-destructive quality evaluation tool applied in agricultural products. This review mainly reports the current knowledge on the successful implementations of the LLBI in measuring the various quality-related attributes of agricultural products under different postharvest conditions such as in drying, storage, sorting, maturity identification, defect detection, etc. The basic components, uses and considerations of the technique are highlighted in this paper. Moreover, the advantages, drawbacks, measurement methods, data analysis applied as well as the accuracies obtained are briefly summarized.

Transition Support

AimsThe audit aimed to assess if patients under the care of children's services in Wessex were transferred at the appropriate age and whether transition referrals to Community Learning Disability teams (CTLD) occurred timely. It also aimed to look at how many patients underwent transitions in a three month period, and if their transition support plan (TSP) was completed. A transition support plan should include chronological information on psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and social support measures. Patients should be referred between the ages of 17–19 but require a justification after 18 years of age.MethodThe BI team was contacted to provide all IDs for patients referred within a three month period between the ages of 17–19. The BI team provided 42 patients with their ID. Patients discharged from services within a short time span were excluded for the following reason: inappropriate referral (9pts), discharged after 1st assessment (6pts), internal discussion (6pts), only referred to Autism team (4pts), moved out of area (1pts). From the initial 42 patients, 16 patients were analysed using the collection tool.Result4/16 had a TSP, and only two had a complete TSP and transitioned in another trust and were inter-team referrals.CAMHS services referred 1/16 patients.Psychotropic medication was prescribed to 12/16 prior to or on time of referral, but only two patients had a complete psychotropic medication history.8/16 patients' referral was commenced prior to their 18th birthday, and no information was provided for delay in transfer.Health records did mention psychotherapy, but apart from 2/16 TSP records, no additional information was available on the modality.ConclusionPatients with Intellectual Disability face challenges when transferring from children to adult services. Insufficient referral information may have a detrimental impact on patients wellbeing and long-term care.Access to a patient's chronological journey through the different children's services allows Adult CTLD health professionals to provide effective care. Historical psycho-social and pharmacological interventions provide a reference point for future interventions.Concerns included: limited information on most TSP regarding psycho-social and psychotropic treatments, lack of access to CAMHS/CHYPS paperwork and ineffective inter-trust communication for transition patients.This project highlighted the average number of transition cases in 3 months. It led to changes to the transition pathway, as awareness was raised in trust and CCG meetings to improve patient outcome. CTLD created the new role of transition facilitators to support children's services. They sit in meetings before patients transition referrals.

Comprehensive Picture

This paper reports the results of part of a three stage examination of services to students with mild intellectual disability in two educational regions of New South Wales. The purpose of the study was to obtain a comprehensive picture of the educational services being provided to these students. The stages in the study included a questionnaire completed by 68 teachers, an interview administered to a sub-sample of 27 teachers, and observations in seven classrooms. The results of the study reported in this paper relate to characteristics of the teachers and school and classroom variables, the nature of integration occurring in these settings, and the resources accessed and needed by these teachers. The study found that the average class size was 13.3 children; boys out-numbered girls by 1.66:1; fewer than half of the children also participated in an integration program; about half of the teachers had been trained in special education; and most teachers would have preferred more support services than they were receiving.
