Significance Eskom's new CEO, Andre de Ruyter, recently warned that ‘load shedding’ (power outages) will continue in the medium term as the utility embarks on an accelerated maintenance programme to put the grid on a more stable basis. In turn, Ramaphosa and energy minister Gwede Mantashe have promised various measures to supplement energy production, notably allowing municipalities to procure electricity from 'independent power producers' (IPPs) and easing conditions for companies to generate their own electricity. Impacts An Eskom voluntary retrenchment package will partly buoy investor confidence about the potential for wider reforms. Eskom’s new spokesperson, a respected financial journalist, could help improve the utility’s poor public image. The coal lobby and related ANC-aligned figures will pose a formidable hurdle for the successful implementation of Pretoria's energy plan.

AbstractObjectiveConflicting data are available on the prevalence of binge eating behaviour (BE) in individuals seeking to lose or maintain weight. The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of and the risk factors for BE in a large sample of men and women starting a weight loss or maintenance programme.DesignCross-sectional study. BE was defined as a Binge Eating Scale (BES) score ≥18. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Italian Depression Questionnaire were used to assess anxiety and depression. Besides sex, age and BMI, marital status, educational level, smoking and physical activity were evaluated as potential risk factors for BE. Uni- and multivariable Poisson working regression models were used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and marginal probabilities.SettingNutritional research centre.SubjectsAdults (n 6930; 72 % women) with a median age of 46 years (range 18–81 years) were consecutively studied.ResultsBE prevalence in the pooled sample was 17 %. At multivariable analysis, being a woman (PR=2·70), smoking (PR=1·15) and increasing BMI (PR=1·05 for 1 kg/m2 increase) were risk factors for BE. On the contrary, being older (PR=0·99 for 1-year increase), performing physical activity (PR=0·89) and being married (PR=0·88) were protective factors for BE. Anxiety and depression were more common in subjects with BE.ConclusionsBE is common in individuals seeking to lose or maintain weight. The prevalence of BE is higher in young obese women. However, BE is present also in men, elders and normal-weight subjects.

Proper maintenance planning is required to ensure the upkeep for buildings. However, maintenance of university buildings are often plague with challenges such as poor  maintenance, increasing maintenance backlogs and insufficiency of budget allocation. Thus, maintenance prioritisation is practiced as part of the solution to these challenges. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of issues and factors related to maintenance prioritisation through literature review. It discusses the issues faced by maintenance manager in deciding priorities for maintenance work. The consideration for factors when deciding maintenance priorities is also presented in this paper. While there are a lot factors listed in previous literatures, this paper attempts to provide a general guideline for the factors that are considered in setting maintenance priorities. These factors are organisation's objective, risk, performance measurement, resources, and stakeholders. By following and incorporating these factors in deciding priorities, a maintenance programme can be designed to achieve better maintenance planning in universities.

IntroductionPulmonary rehabilitation is a core component of the treatment of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, the benefits gained diminish in the ensuing months. The optimal strategy for maintaining the benefits is unclear with weekly supervised maintenance exercise programmes proposed as one strategy. However, the long-term future of maintenance programs is dependent on quality evidence.Methods and analysisThe ComEx3 randomised controlled trial will investigate the efficacy of extending a weekly supervised maintenance programme for an additional 6 months following an initial 10-week maintenance programme (intervention) by comparing with a control group who receive the same 10-week maintenance programme followed by 6 months of usual care. 120 participants with COPD will be recruited. Primary objective is to determine health-related quality of life over 12 months. Secondary objectives are to determine functional exercise capacity trajectory and to perform an economic evaluation of the intervention to the health system. Outcomes will be analysed for superiority according to intention-to-treat and per-protocol approaches.Ethics and disseminationApproval has been received from the relevant ethics committees. Findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, targeting those involved in managing people with COPD as well as those who develop policies and guidelines.Clinical trial registrationANZCTR 12618000933257
