Midwifery Practice

Much has been achieved through the advances of medical science and technology and that calls for improved knowledge and skills for today’s midwife. There is hardly a sphere in midwifery practice that can’t be seen as a challenge for the midwife, for instance as a administrator; as a tutor; as a clinician and a researcher. In the performance of her task certain challenges are placed upon the midwife as person, for instance the challenge as counsellor; communicator; as a member of the health team; as a member of the changing community and as a family planner. Inservice training and continuing education are therefore a necessity to ensure a high standard of midwifery care.

Advances in biotechnology and medical science, especially breakthroughs in cloning and stem cell research, have raised great expectations for curing diseases, repairing damaged body tissue and organs, enabling conception at advanced age and selecting embryos based on genetic diagnosis. However, the question arises whether these advances will improve the happiness of humankind or whether human bodies are being assaulted as development resources in order to procure greater profits. This article investigates how the value of life is conceptualized by religious cultures vis-a-vis the emerging threats. With regard to the early embryonic stage of human life, the Catholic Church, for example, has raised a loud voice against the artificial termination of pregnancy. As a matter of fact, various religious cultures have showed and underpinned to a considerable extent the value of life and the direction that science and technology should take in this respect. It is argued that the globalized competition in science and technology makes it necessary to transcend the views concerning the value of life propagated by particular religious cultures.

Students as agents of change are required to have a lot of knowledge and skills during their studies. The addition of the ability of the skills of the students should be obtained based on practical activities during the lecture, but is often constrained by the unpreparedness of lab facilities and adequate infrastructure. This has an impact on student mastery of skills is not optimal. Application of science and technology activities aimed to establish a student majoring in animal husbandry skills through training making meatballs with chicken base material salvage. Methods are activities undertaken by: (1) lectures and discussions on potential, prospects and agribusiness agroindusti meatballs, (2) demonstration and coaching of making meatballs, (3) motivated the development of entrepreneurial spirit. The results showed that activities of the training material presented and received positive response from participants was satisfactory considering there has not yet been carried out similar activities. Generally, the participants wanted to adopt the material about making meatballs with chicken base material reject rate. Concluded that the target audience consists of students majoring in animal husbandry are very enthusiastic and active in the manufacture of technical guidance meatballs. In general, trainees wishing to do entrepreneurship by producing meatballs made ​​from chicken meat laying reject rate.

License Renewal

Even the best trained and most highly skilled mental health clinicians must take active steps to maintain, update, and expand their knowledge and skills. Failure to do so on an ongoing basis places one’s professional competence at risk. This chapter explains the fragile nature of competence and the steps to take to help ensure the maintenance of ongoing clinical effectiveness. Enhancing one’s competence to add new skills and to expand one’s clinical practice into new areas also is addressed. Continuing requirements for license renewal are described and placed within the broader context of each mental health practitioner’s overarching ethical obligation to provide the highest quality professional services possible. Specific recommendations for achieving this goal are provided in the hope that mental health clinicians will incorporate them into their ongoing professional activities.

Objective To explore the definition of autonomy, its significant features and impacts on midwifery practice. Method Combined keywords searched were performed on electronic databases: Scopus, Science Direct and Medline within EBSCOhost and Google Scholar. Data were extracted and analysed corresponding to the objectives of this review. Findings A total of eight studies (n=8) were included (one quantitative and seven qualitative). Autonomy is the central element in midwifery that is commonly linked with informed choices; decision-making and power to control over a situation. In order for a midwife to be autonomous, important attributes include knowledge and skills (being confident, and the ability to think critically). It was also found that infrastructure and culture at work impacts autonomy in midwifery practice. Conclusion Albeit a limited number of studies were included in the review, this review provides an important platform for understanding the principles and concepts that underpin autonomy in midwifery practice.

Safe Care

In view of the 'sunsetting' of restrictive regulations, which for years have obstructed comprehensive midwifery practice in Victoria, it is timely for the nature of midwifery care in a primary health care setting to be explicated. A best practice framework is employed to examine the pre-conditions and key process factors which facilitate and potentiate quality of midwifery care in the North Richmond Community Health Centre's shared care maternity program. The process of care is considered in detail, while outcomes and client perceptions are outlined. The nature of safe midwifery practice at the individual client/practitioner level�the micro dimension of care�is explored in the context of broader societal issues which directly and indirectly affect health status and outcomes for clients�the macro dimension. This discussion seeks not only to delineate best practice but also to challenge accepted notions of what constitutes safe care.

Chitin And Chitosan

Chitin can be extracted from the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects and mollusks and the cell wall of microorganisms. It can be converted into chitosan by deacetylation process. Chitosan shows more versatility than chitin due to its solubility and reactive free amino group (-NH2). This article helps to understand the importance and characteristics of chitin and chitosan by their various aspects such as properties and medical and industrial applications.Nepal Journal of Science and Technology Vol. 16, No.1 (2015) pp. 99-104
