Introduction: Homeopathy is a pharmaceutical and medical specialty practiced in Brazil since 1840 and known by the Federal Council of Medicine since 1980. The homeopathic pharmacy is a recognized part of the pharmaceutical profession regulated and supervised by the Federal Council of Pharmacy (CFF) and the Regional Councils of Pharmacy throughout Brazil (CFF 319/97 and CFF 440/05). Despite the existence of a Federal Law (number 1552, published in 1952) which implemented the teaching of “Notions of Homeopathic Pharmaceutical Techniques” in all colleges of pharmacy, these lectures are still not present in the majority of Brazilian Pharmacy curricula. This reluctance in the implementation of the teaching of homeopathy consists in an obstacle to the formation of new pharmaceutical homeopaths in Rio de Janeiro. Aim: To evaluate how the teaching of homeopathy is being taught in undergraduate courses in pharmacy in Rio de Janeiro and register through a specific questionnaire, the students' interest, as well as the availability of internships in the field of homeopathy. Methodology: The survey was started in May 2011 with a sample of ten pharmacy colleges in the state of Rio de Janeiro (UNIG, UNIGRANRIO, UNIABEU, UNIPLI, Universo Niterói, Universo São Gonçalo, UFRJ, UNISUAM, Estácio de Sá and UFF). A specific previously developed questionnaire was applied to undergraduate students to register their interest and availability for internships in the field of homeopathy. Moreover, the students were interviewed for relevant information about their interests in the area of homeopathy. Results: Preliminary results showed that 57% of the respondents presented interest so far in qualifying in homeopathy pharmacy, 32% of them did not show any interest in the area and 11% reported not having a definite position. Regarding working with homeopathy, 51% expressed interest in working in this area, 36% showed no interest and 13% were indecisive. As far as conducting a refresher course in homeopathy, 57% showed interest, 35% showed no interest and 8% expressed no definite opinion. The traineeship of at least 240 hours, required by the Federal Council of Pharmacy to all pharmacists who wish to assume responsibility for technical laboratory or industrial homeopathic pharmacy, has not been offered by the majority of Pharmacy Faculties, considering that 89% of the respondents have not done this traineeship. Data collection will be finished by the second half of June. Conclusion: The spread of homeopathy should be done from the beginning of the undergraduate course in pharmacy to evoke the interest in the discipline, especially in colleges where it is not compulsory. Most of interviewed students were not informed about the legal obligation of the training in the laboratory or pharmacy of homeopathy. Almost all colleges used in this study do not provide the internship for the students who show an interest in homeopathy. This scenario draws our attention to the necessity of new projects that enable a comprehensive and systematic teaching of homeopathy, providing new possibilities for homeopathic professional activities.

Background: In 1912 the Hahnemann Medical Faculty to graduate homeopathic physicians was created. This was one of the courses that originated the present Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro – UNIRIO. Homeopathy in UNIRIO was consolidated during the 80s and 90s through the relationship with other specialties. In 1999, the interface of Homeopathy and the curriculum guidelines of the Brazilian Ministry of Education justified the inclusion of Homeopathy as a compulsory subject in the medical course at UNIRIO. In 2001 a University program to improve the development of research called “Homeopathy - Health and Quality of Life”, was created to integrate the activities of Teaching, Research and Extension. Aim: To evaluate the relevance of the compulsory teaching of Homeopathy in the medical area at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro – UNIRIO, Brazil. Methods: A prospective longitudinal qualitative and quantitative research was used with semi-structured questionnaires with open and closed questions at the beginning and end of each semester. Undergraduate students from the third year of the UNIRIO Medical Faculty (2008/March till 2009/September) who accepted the “Consent Form”, were included. Students who didn't respond adequately to the questions were excluded. This research was approved and registered at the Brazilian Research Ethics Center. Microsoft Office Excel 2007 used to data collection and analysis. Results: Total number of students attending the course during the four semesters: 304. 70% answered the questionnaires. 60% of the students had heard of homeopathy before attending the homeopathy course (67% as patients, 21% as patients and through media, 6% through media and 6% by other means of contact). 86% consider that homeopathy brought new knowledge to the medical and academic training. 72% consider that this knowledge could be applicable to their future career. Conclusion: Most students aim to learn the guiding principles of homeopathy. Their aim is to know all available treatment, modalities and alternatives to allopathy in medical education. They considered that the learning of Homeopathy is a part of general medical training due to the fact that it has been a recognized medical specialty in Brazil since 1980. The student’s opportunity to learn homeopathy during the undergraduate course in medical schools widens the individuality concept, “the doctor-patient relationship and the holistic vision of the patient”. These results demonstrate the relevance of teaching homeopathy in the medical curriculum and the need to spread the teaching of homeopathy as a compulsory course for all other medical universities.

ABSTRACT Since the turn of the millennium, competency-based medical education (CBME) has become a new standard for medical training in many countries. CBME has been operationalized in detailed frameworks of competencies that every physician should demonstrate at graduation, and similar frameworks have been created for specialties. However, the competencies, describing qualities that physicians should possess, do not directly translate into everyday activities of physicians. For that reason, the Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) were introduced. EPAs are units of professional practice that may be entrusted to undergraduate students, once they show the competencies needed to perform them without supervision. EPAs have become a popular topic within CBME programs in many countries and hundreds of publications within only a few years. This paper was written to introduce the strengths and weaknesses of EPAs. After a brief historical overview, the reason why EPAs are a bridge between a competency framework and daily clinical practice is explained. While competencies are qualities of individuals, EPAs are units of work. The two can be seen as two dimensions of a matrix, showing that almost all activities in health care are based on multiple competencies, such as communication skill, collaboration, professional behavior, content knowledge. Next, entrustment decision-making as a form of assessment is created and a framework of levels of supervision is presented. Entrustment decisions focus on the level of supervision a student requires for a specific activity, divided into five levels (1: allowed to observe; 2; allowed to perform under direct supervision; 3: allowed to perform under indirect supervision; 4: allowed to perform the activity unsupervised; 5: allowed to supervise the activity performed by more junior learners). For readers interested in applying the concept to practice, a stepwise approach to the curriculum development is proposed. The paper concludes with an overview of the state-of-the-art of working with EPAs across disciplines, professions and countries.

Zakat management is subject to the authority and views of the local government. In Malaysia, the State Islamic Religious Council (MAIN) in everu state is the ruling authorities in the management of zakat includes the collection of zakat from the local community. Base on the current survey, all MAINs have appointed certified agents or amil within the institutions, groups or individuals to facilitate the collection of zakat in their respective states. Permission to collect zakat is essentially implemented on local base and appointed agents are not allowed to collect zakat across the state borders. Generally, almost all states provide enactments, acts or ordinances explaining Shariah criminal penalties and offenses for the act of collecting zakat in other states without permission. However, there are cases and issues arose from this crime activity among amil or unauthorized agents. This action indirectly affects zakat institutions and zakat recipients negatively. The objective of this study is to identify issues and modus operandi associated with zakat collection across states by unauthorized agents and amil. The study will also assess issues related to Islamic view including the issued fatwas while suggesting alternatives as solution to this polemic. This study utilises qualitative approach involving interviews and documentation in data collection. The findings show that the issue of zakat collection in other states by unauthorized agents and amils are contradict to Syariah Administration law in Malaysia. This study hopefully can be a reference to  zakat institutions, MAIN, state mufti departments and zakat-authorized bodies in Malaysia in addressing the issue of across states zakat collection. Further studies on the effects of this issue on zakat institutions and zakat recipients in the affected states need to be carried out to ensure that this wrongdoing can be curbed effectively. ABSTRAK: Pengurusan perihal zakat adalah tertakluk kepada kuasa dan pandangan pemerintah setempat. Di Malaysia, Majlis Agama Islam Negeri (MAIN) negeri-negeri adalah pemerintah yang berkuasa dalam pengurusan zakat termasuklah berkaitan kutipan zakat masyarakat setempat. Berdasarkan tinjauan semasa, semua MAIN telah melantik ejen atau amil yang bertauliah dalam kalangan institusi, kelompok atau individu bagi memudahkan lagi proses kutipan zakat di negeri masing-masing. Kebenaran mengutip zakat tersebut hakikatnya adalah bersifat lokal dan tidak dibenarkan merentasi sempadan negeri lain. Umumnya, hampir kesemua negeri memperuntukkan enakmen, akta atau ordinan yang menjelaskan hukuman dan kesalahan jenayah Syariah bagi perbuatan mengutip zakat di negeri lain atau tanpa kebenaran. Namun begitu, timbul beberapa kes dan isu yang melibatkan kesalahan mengutip zakat dalam kalangan amil atau ejen yang tidak bertauliah di negeri lain. Perkara ini secara tidak langsung memberi kesan kepada institusi zakat dan penerima zakat. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti isu berkaitan kutipan zakat di negeri lain oleh ejen dan amil yang tidak bertauliah. Kajian juga akan menilai isu-isu yang berkaitan menurut pandangan syarak termasuk fatwa yang dikeluarkan di samping mencadangkan alternatif sebagai solusi bagi polemik ini. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang melibatkan kaedah temu bual dan dokumentasi dalam pengumpulan data. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa isu kutipan zakat di negeri lain oleh ejen dan amil yang tidak bertauliah adalah bertentangan dengan syarak dan perundangan Syariah di Malaysia. Kajian ini boleh menjadi rujukan dan panduan oleh pihak institusi zakat, MAIN, jabatan mufti dan badan-badan berautoriti zakat di Malaysia dalam menangani isu kutipan zakat di negeri lain. Kajian lanjutan berkaitan kesan isu ini terhadap institusi zakat dan penerima zakat di negeri yang terlibat perlu dijalankan bagi memastikan gejala ini dapat ditangani sebaik mungkin.

Рассмотрены состояние и перспективы развития мясного скотоводства в Российской Федерации. Проведен мониторинг численности поголовья, породного состава и продуктивности мясного крупного рогатого скота во всех категориях хозяйств, изучены масштабы и объемы бонитировки скота за 20102018 годы. По данным Минсельхоза России, в 2018 году поголовье крупного рогатого скота в стране составило более 18 млн голов, в том числе численность животных специализированных мясных пород во всех категориях хозяйств достигла 2,26 млн голов. Комплексная оценка 711,16 тыс. голов, или 34,1 от общей численности мясного скота, в том числе 389,8 тыс. коров, принадлежащих к 15 породам и типам, разводимым в 57 регионах Российской Федерации показала, что наибольшее подконтрольное поголовье имеют абердин ангусская порода (417545 гол.), калмыцкая (137262 гол.), герефордская (87278 гол.) и казахская белоголовая породы (52563 гол.). Все подконтрольное поголовье животных является чистопородным и IV поколения, в том числе 99,7 быков-производителей и 99,3 коров. Анализ живой массы пробонитированного поголовья выявил тенденцию к ее повышению у коров всех возрастов в среднем на 54 кг, быков производителей на 39 кг, или на 16,7 и 5,2 за последние 9 лет, соответственно. Живая масса коров по итогам 2018 года в среднем составила 546 кг, быков-производителей 791 кг. По состоянию на 1.01.2019 года, племенная база мясного скотоводства страны представлена 270 племенными стадами, в том числе 46 племенными заводами и 224 племенными репродукторами. В 2018 году в различные категории хозяйств из племенных предприятий было продано 35517 голов племенного молодняка, в том числе 6388 ремонтных бычка с классами элита и элита-рекорд (85,3). В 2018 году было продано племенного молодняка в расчете на 100 коров галловейской породы 33,0 головы, казахской белоголовой 29,1 герефордской 28,0 калмыцкой 22,2 лимузинской 15,5 абердин ангусской 8,8 русской комолой 8,2 и симментальской мясной 4,7 голов. На основании мониторинга состояния мясного скотоводства страны за 20102018 годы были намечены перспективы дальнейшего развития.The article considers the state and prospects of development of beef cattle breeding in the Russian Federation. The number of livestock, breed composition and productivity of beef cattle in all categories of farms was monitored, the scale and volumes of bonding of cattle for the studied 9-year period (20102018) were studied. According to the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, in 2018 the number of cattle in the country amounted to more than 18 million heads, including the number of cattle of specialized meat breeds in all categories of farms reached 2.26 million heads. A comprehensive assessment of the number of livestock in the amount of 711.16 thousand animals or 34.1 of the total number of beef cattle, including: cows 389.8 thousand heads belonging to 15 breeds and types bred in 57 regions of the Russian Federation, showed that the largest controlled livestock are: Aberdeen Angus breed 417545 animals, Kalmyk 1372726 animals, Hereford 87278 animals and Kazakh white-headed breed 52563 animals. Almost all of the controlled livestock of animals is purebred and IV generation, including: respectively 99.7 of bulls producers and 99.3 of cows. The analysis of live mass of a livestock revealed a tendency to its increase at cows of all age on average on 54 kg, bulls on 39 kgor for 16.7 and 5.2 for the last 9 years respectively. The live mass of cows following the results of 2018 averaged 546 kg, bulls 791 kg. As of January 1, 2019, the breeding base of beef cattle breeding in the country is represented by 270 breeding herds, including: 46 breeding plants and 224 breeding reproducers. In 2018, 35,517 heads of pedigree young animals were sold to various categories of farms from pedigree enterprises, including 6,388 repair bulls with elite classes and an elite record record for appraisal (85.3). An analysis of the sales volume of pedigree young animals in the context of farmed meat breeds showed that in 2018 pedigree young animals per 100 cows were sold in the country: Galloveian breed 33.0 goals, Kazakh white-headed 29.1 goals, Hereford 28, 0 goals., Kalmyk 22.2 goals., Limousin 15.5 goals., Aberdeen Angus 8.8 goals, Russian kolola 8.2 and Simmental meat 4.7 goals. Based on the monitoring of the state of beef cattle breeding in the country for the study period (20102018), prospects for further development were outlined.

The System Wide Assessment and Monitoring Program (SWAMP) was implemented by the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) to develop an Adaptive Management Implementation Plan (AMIP). SWAMP ensures that a comprehensive network of coastal data collection/monitoring activities is in place to support the development and implementation of Louisiana’s coastal protection and restoration program. Monitoring of physical terrain is an important parameter of SWAMP. For the first time a systematic approach was adopted to undertake a geophysical (bathymetric, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profile, and magnetometer) survey along more than 5,000 nautical miles (nm) (excluding the 1,559 nm currently being surveyed from west of Terrebonne Bay to Sabine Lake) of track-line in almost all of the bays and lakes from Chandeleur Sound in the east to Terrebonne Bay in the west. This data collection effort complements the regional bathymetric survey undertaken under the Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) Program in the adjacent offshore areas. This paper describes how a study of this magnitude was conceptualized, planned, and executed along the entire Louisiana coast. It is important to note that the initial intent was to collect bathymetric data only for numerical modelling for ecosystem restoration and storm surge prediction. Geophysical data were added for oyster identification and delineation. These first-order data also help comprehend the regional subsurface geology essential for sediment exploration to support Louisiana’s marsh and barrier island restoration projects.
