A matter raised consistently by eminent personalities asked to report on atrocities in Africa, such as former South African President Thabo Mbeki, is the utilization of traditional justice mechanisms known to Africans. Their use has been limited to Gacaca courts in Rwanda, set up in haste and subject to much criticism. However, there exist several types and models of traditional justice mechanisms at the African level. The contribution of these sui generis mechanisms towards accountability for heinous crimes is largely unaddressed in academic literature. This chapter intends to fill this gap by exploring their potential contribution towards accountability for heinous crimes, alongside the International Criminal Court (ICC). In short, the chapter explores how community-based judicial mechanisms and the ICC, two types of accountability mechanisms with different methodologies and approaches, can work side by side to eradicate impunity regarding, and also to prevent, mass atrocities on the African continent.

Short Time

Holder pasteurization (HoP; 62.5 °C, 30 min) is commonly used to ensure the microbiological safety of donor human milk (DHM) but diminishes its nutritional properties. A high-temperature short-time (HTST) system was designed as an alternative for human milk banks. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of this HTST system on different nutrients and the bile salt stimulated lipase (BSSL) activity of DHM. DHM was processed in the HTST system and by standard HoP. Macronutrients were measured with a mid-infrared analyzer. Lactose, glucose, myo-inositol, vitamins and lipids were assayed using chromatographic techniques. BSSL activity was determined using a kit. The duration of HTST treatment had a greater influence on the nutrient composition of DHM than did the tested temperature. The lactose concentration and the percentage of phospholipids and PUFAs were higher in HTST-treated than in raw DHM, while the fat concentration and the percentage of monoacylglycerides and SFAs were lower. Other nutrients did not change after HTST processing. The retained BSSL activity was higher after short HTST treatment than that following HoP. Overall, HTST treatment resulted in better preservation of the nutritional quality of DHM than HoP because relevant thermosensitive components (phospholipids, PUFAs, and BSSL) were less affected.

Abstract Background Antimicrobial stewardship initiatives and efforts have historically had a greater emphasis in the inpatient hospital setting. There is a need for outpatient stewardship, and additionally, accreditation standards are starting to require antimicrobial stewardship efforts in the ambulatory care setting. Fluoroquinolones are a target for antimicrobial stewardship based on their broad-spectrum activity, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, safety profile, downstream resistance, and risk of super infections. The objective of this study was to compare outpatient fluoroquinolone prescribing rates before and after pharmacist led initiative. Methods This was a prospective, quality improvement initiative between October 1, 2019 to June 1, 2020 at a community-based physician network across Indiana. The pharmacist initiative incorporated a live, educational presentation with intervention 1 and an informational letter to healthcare providers across the outpatient physician network with intervention 2. Data was collected from a computer-generated, prescription report. The primary outcome was fluoroquinolone prescribing rates at Central Indiana (CI) sites before and after pharmacist led interventions. Rate of fluoroquinolone prescribing was defined as total number of fluoroquinolone prescriptions per month. The secondary outcome included percentage of fluoroquinolone use at CI sites. Percentage of fluoroquinolone use was defined as monthly number of fluoroquinolones prescriptions compared to monthly number of all oral antibiotic prescriptions. Results There was a 29.8% decrease (382 vs 268 prescriptions) in outpatient fluoroquinolone prescriptions at CI sites after intervention 1 compared to same month of previous year. There was a 43.7% decrease (428 vs 241 prescriptions) in outpatient fluoroquinolone prescriptions at CI sites after intervention 2. There was an overall 2.4% decrease (4.9% vs 2.5%) in percentage of fluoroquinolone use compared to all oral antibiotics at CI sites after intervention 2 compared to same month of previous year. Conclusion These findings suggest the pharmacist led outpatient antimicrobial stewardship initiative successfully decreased fluoroquinolone prescribing rates across the network.

The Invisible

In this research note, we call attention to human milk donation being essentially omitted from the philanthropy literature and bodily gifting research. We focus here on human milk donations for infant feeding through nonprofit milk banks. We argue that its omission is due to two main factors: (a) the incoherence of defining human milk donation and the challenges to its regulation and (b) its consideration as care work and the characteristics of the milk donor identity. We end with avenues for future research in this area.
