This paper is an introduction to wikis for health librarians. While using wikis in health is now well established, their gradual rise is similar to other Web 2.0 tools such as blogs and RSS feeds. The same principles of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and socialization apply to wikis. Easy-to-use, interactive, and built on open platforms (though not all are free), wikis offer a number of marketing and teaching opportunities for health librarians. Ironically, owing to the prominence of Wikipedia, which paved the way for the broader acceptance of Web 2.0 technologies, wikis are moving beyond the collaborative writing of encyclopedia entries. Wikis are now used for all kinds of projects, from managing internal library content to revising important reference sources such as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). That said, some physicians and librarians express grave concerns about using wikis to create reference works—particularly, how questionable authority and editorial controls may result in medical errors. We argue that wikis were not necessarily meant to replace trusted print and digital information. When used responsibly as part of an overall content management plan, wikis can enhance our traditional collections and services. The authors predict that wikis will continue their rise in medicine through 2008, which will lead to other creative uses and applications in health libraries.

The Difference

Recently, national level disaster management legislation systems have been established in Myanmar, and preparation of disaster management plans at the township level has also been encouraged. This study aims to explain these disaster management plans in Myanmar through content analysis and comparison with the Japanese Municipality Disaster Management Plan. The classification of activities by 45 categories revealed the prioritized activities in the disaster management plan for each township. Furthermore, the comparison identified differences between the disaster management plans of the two countries, of which some are explained by the difference in situations in Myanmar and Japan, but the others indicate activities missed in the township disaster management plans in Myanmar.

Over the past four decades, management plan based on the Boolean Ecological Capability model has caused major problems in the management of the Hyrcanian Forests. The aim of this study is to evaluate ecological capability of five proposed sites including Golestan National Park, Afra Takhteh Yew Forest, Kojoor Forest, Cypress Woodland of Hassanabad-e Chalous, Lomer forest along the Hyrcanian region from east to west, using both Boolean and fuzzy logic and to compare these two models. A total of 10 important factors including slope, aspect, elevation, soil types, soil erosion, soil transformation, canopy cover, the value of species, distance to streams and climate were investigated in this study. The results show that elevation, slope and aspect have the most important role in the classification of the studied area. The results of model validation with field data indicate that the fuzzy gamma model shows the better assessment, accuracy and reliability compared to the Boolean model. Based on the obtained results we suggest the fuzzy-based operation model in sustainable protection planning in the Hyrcanian Forests.

Abstract Background Paeonia decomposita, endemic to China, has important ornamental, medicinal, and economic value and is regarded as an endangered plant. The genetic diversity and population structure have seldom been described. A conservation management plan is not currently available. Results In the present study, 16 pairs of simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure. A total of 122 alleles were obtained with a mean of 7.625 alleles per locus. The expected heterozygosity (He) varied from 0.043 to 0.901 (mean 0.492) in 16 primers. Moderate genetic diversity (He = 0.405) among populations was revealed, with Danba identified as the center of genetic diversity. Mantel tests revealed a positive correlation between geographic and genetic distance among populations (r = 0.592, P = 0.0001), demonstrating consistency with the isolation by distance model. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated that the principal molecular variance existed within populations (73.48%) rather than among populations (26.52%). Bayesian structure analysis and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) supported the classification of the populations into three clusters. Conclusions This is the first study of the genetic diversity and population structure of P. decomposita using SSR. Three management units were proposed as conservation measures. The results will be beneficial for the conservation and exploitation of the species, providing a theoretical basis for further research of its evolution and phylogeography.

<p>Enfatizando o componente geomorfológico da geodiversidade, o presente artigo buscou classificar áreas de interesse que representam formas de relevo condicionadas por uma faixa fisiográfica que demarca a transição entre o Terceiro Planalto e Segundo Planalto Paranaense: a Escarpa da Esperança, cuja variabilidade geomorfológica é amplamente determinada por lineamentos estruturais mesozoicos. A avaliação qualitativa no recorte espacial adotado possibilitou a classificação detalhada de oito geomorfossítios, compondo quatro níveis analíticos distintos: <em>Escarpas Festonadas</em> (Salto/Canyon do Rio São Francisco e Saltos Gêmeos); <em>Formas Triangulares</em> (Vale do Rio Charqueadas e Cabeceiras do Rio São João); <em>Relevos Residuais</em> (Morro do Chapéu e Morro do Pico Agudo); e <em>Formas Elevadas</em> (Crista Planáltica e Divisor Interplanáltico). A caracterização dos mesmos foi amparada por modelos teóricos consagrados, análise espacial e, de maneira complementar, pela avaliação de suas potencialidades e vulnerabilidades de uso. Considerando a obtenção de resultados preliminares, pretende-se oferecer subsídios a estudos posteriores que visem à quantificação de seus valores patrimoniais, bem como sua abordagem no plano de manejo da Área de Proteção Ambiental da Serra da Esperança, onde os geomorfossítios avaliados estão inseridos.</p><p><strong>Palavras–chave:</strong> Diversidade Geomorfológica, Diversidade do Relevo, Patrimônio Geomorfológico</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><pre>Emphasizing a geomorphological approach to geodiversity, the present article sought to classify areas of interest they represent landforms conditioned by a physiographic band that demarcates the transition between the Third Plateau and the Second Plateau in the Parana State, Brazil: the Esperança Escarpment, whose geomorphological diversity is largely determined by mesozoic structural lineaments.

Abstract Background: Fasting is known as a migraine trigger for migraine. Muslims fast one month every luminal year. We aimed to study the impact of The Holy month of Ramadan on episodic migraine.Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed as migraine according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICDH-3). Both genders, aged between 18 and 65 years were included. The impact of fasting and changing habits during the month of Ramadan was studied. Frequency, severity of migraine attacks and number of analgesic days during Ramadan were compared to those during Shaban, the Immediate previous month to Ramadan. Number of breaking fasting due to migraine was reported.Results: This study identified 293 with migraine with mean age and mean disease duration 37.09 ±9.36, 12.34±9.27 years respectively. Most of them were females(89.1%). During Ramadan month, the patient had significant increase in migraine days 10.42±7.98 compared with 6.90±6.55 migraine days during the previous month (p < 0.001). Also, days of analgesic use (11.32±10.46 versus 6.11±6.69;P<0,001) and migraine severity (7.46±2.39 versus 6.84±2.25; P<0,001) were significantly increased during Ramadan compared to Shaban. Most of the patients completed fasting the whole month of Ramadan. A minority (1.7) could not tolerate fasting whole Ramadan due intolerable migraine headache and 36.5% broke their fasting for some days during Ramadan. Some patients changed previous prophylactic therapy before fasting to reduce the impact of fasting on migraine headache. Most of our cohort (82.3%) continue on the same management plan for migraine during Ramadan. Majority of cohort (75.4%) reported that migraine interfered with their daily activities due to fasting during Ramadan. Conclusion: Ramadan fasting has negative impact on the majority of migraine patients. Physicians should educate migraine patients who to manage their headache and habits before starting fasting.

Seagrasses in coastal environments have been threatened by increased human activities; these have negatively altered processes and environmental services, and have decreased grassland areas. The aim of this study was to generate knowledge of <em>Thalassia testudinum</em> distribution, state of the structure and fragmentation level in two reefs of the Veracruz Reef System National Park (PNSAV). Two different reefs were selected: Sacrificios in the North and near the coast, and Cabezo in the South and away from the coast. Shoot-specific and area-specific characteristics of submerged macrophytes meadows present were determined, and four morpho-functional groups were identified. Significant differences between plant coverage were tested through nonparametric ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test. A supervised classification of spatial high-resolution image verified with field data was performed (55 Sacrificios and 290 Cabezo). The fragmentation level was calculated using landscape metrics, class level and thematic maps were made based on four covers. The meadows were dominated by <em>Thalassia testudinum</em>; maximum densities were 208 shoot/m<sup>2</sup> in Cabezo, and 176 shoot/m<sup>2</sup> in Sacrificios. Cabezo presented grasses with short (9 cm) and thin leaves (0.55 cm) on average; while Sacrificios showed longer (23.5 cm) and thicker (1 cm) leaves. Sacrificios showed lower fragmentation degree than Cabezo; in both cases, the vegetation cover fragmentation corresponded to less than 50 %. Although Cabezo reef presents further fragmentation, which creates a large number of microenvironments, being recognized for its importance as recruitment area. This work serves as a baseline for the creation of an adequate management plan (formation of a core area of Cabezo). It is necessary to complement this work with new efforts for the recognition of seagrass prairies in all PNSAV reefs, as well as periodic monitoring and recognition of ecosystem services.

The mangroves in Tomini Gulf have been exploited for chiefly conversion of mangrove areas into shrimp cultivation and extraction of mangrove wood for various purposes. In this study, interpretation to available map and satellite images and ground check were conducted to describe intertidal environment conditions and general processes of coastal dynamic. At local scale, physiographic factors were used to classify mangrove sub-habitats. A total of 159 sample points were selected to observe structure of vegetation, and the revised two ways classification of Specht was applied to classify structural classification of vegetation. The criterion of mangrove disturbance was developed to classify disturbance level. Interview and field check were conducted to assess the successfulness of implemented rehabilitation programs. Results indicated that there were obvious changes in mangrove vegetation over much the intertidal environments, and these might influence the future development and regeneration of the mangroves. While most rehabilitation programs were unsuccessful, mangrove exploitations still continued. If a sustainable management plan is not developed, the degradation will continue and spread, and the mangrove will lose its ecological functions.
