Full textAbstract:
La nozione di identità, nelle sue molteplici declinazioni in senso culturale, storico
e nazionale, rappresenta uno dei temi cardine al centro del dibattito dei Cultural
Studies.molto solida come quella irlandese; è proprio questo tentativo complesso e
ambizioso di ridefinizione che cercheremo di indagare nel corso di questo studio.
Grazie alle analisi di Stuart Hall (1980), Paul Gilroy (1993)2, Iain Chambers
(2003)3, Helene Cixous (2008)4, dovrebbe essere ormai assodato che parlare di
identità fisse, rigide, essenziali, impermeabili ad ogni tipo di contaminazione sia
una tesi difficile da sostenere e come sarebbe meglio parlare piuttosto di
“formazioni identitarie”, costruzioni flessibili, posizionamenti e riposizionamenti
continui.Si tratta di visioni dell’identità meno familiari, probabilmente destabilizzanti, ma
che permettono di definire l’identità come pratica della differenza, attraverso una
costante negoziazione con l’Altro che conduce alla continua modificazione del
sé.
È stata messa in discussione inoltre la presunta naturalità dell’identità nazionale:
ne è stata svelata la struttura artificiale, da un lato mostrando come essa sia
fondata sull’ ideazione di “comunità immaginate” (Anderson, 1983), sulla
costruzione di un lessico specifico e sull’ “invenzione della tradizione”
(Hobsbawm, 1997); dall’altro, decostruendo il forte nesso - solo apparentemente
inscindibile - tra nascita e nazione che, dalla seconda metà dell’Ottocento, viene
posto a fondamento dei diversi Stati-Nazione che fioriscono in tutta Europa. In
questo, un ruolo determinante è stato svolto dalle teorie post-coloniali portate con
forza sulla scena culturale globale da pensatori quali Edward Said (1978), Homi
Bhabha (1994), Gayatri Spivak (1999) e riguardanti aree tematiche quali la
critica al nazionalismo e al colonialismo, le condizioni di subalternità legate alla
razza e al genere, le modalità di rappresentazione dell’Altro, la dialettica
identità/differenza5.
Tali contributi, che intaccano definitivamente l’essenzialismo identitario e le
presunte “leggi dell’origine” su cui si fondano le identità nazionali, verranno
presi in esame più dettagliatamente nel corso del lavoro di ricerca sia in quanto
specifiche teorie a cui ricondurre le argomentazioni proposte, sia come strumenti
concreti per interpretare i fenomeni che saranno descritti nel corso dell’analisi.
Più o meno negli stessi anni in cui gli autori citati propongono le loro
considerazioni a proposito del concetto e delle pratiche di identità, in Irlanda un
gruppo di artisti e intellettuali - riunitosi sotto il nome di Field Day Theatre
Company - si occupa di scomporre e riformulare una costruzione identitaria

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to investigate the role of domestic technology in daily life. It focuses on the impact of household technologies upon women&rsquos lives and attempts to address the questions of how women could create an agency through technology to transform their lives and how a technological appliance could act to empower women. Of all household technologies, Singer sewing machine was chosen owing to its representative nature. Accordingly, the thesis provides a brief history of Singer Company in order to describe the major aspects of both the Singer Company and the sewing machine technology. It is argued that sewing machine technology became a convenient tool for women to transform their lives both economically and socially. The testimonies of the women interviewed for this thesis show that their technological skills were a significant part of their identity. Furthermore, middle-class Turkish women used this technology to meet middle class standards whenever they and their families aspired to.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the results of the research work completed in the framework of the PhD project titled “Sviluppo di una metodologia di progettazione per pompe centrifughe multistadio mediante modelli di calcolo analitici e numerici”. The latter involved the doctoral school in Industrial Engineering of Padua University and the company Franklin Electric srl. The aim of the study is the development of tools and knowledge to support the industrial development of multistage centrifugal pumps featuring compact design stages and produced by sheet metal forming and welding.
The first part of the work deals with numerical modelling of multistage centrifugal pumps. Both turbulence modelling and the physical approach are addressed. A modelling strategy featuring a low computational cost is presented and validated experimentally. The model is integrated with the experimental characterization of the wear ring seals typically used in the type of pumps considered. The capability of the model to evaluate the performance, the efficiency and the axial thrust of compact design stages is presented.
In the second part of the work, the numerical model is used to develop design guidelines for the machines under study. In particular, the individual hydraulic characteristics of the annular chamber and return channels are presented firstly. Then, these data are integrated into an analytical model conceived to evaluate the optimal value of the loading factor for compact design stages, under given design constraints. Finally, the information and methods presented in the thesis are casted into a design methodology specifically conceived for compact design stages.In questo lavoro vengono presentati i risultati della ricerca condotta nell’ambito del progetto “Sviluppo di una metodologia di progettazione per pompe centrifughe multistadio mediante modelli di calcolo analitici e numerici”. Il progetto è stato attivato nel contesto del XXX ciclo di dottorato, a seguito dell’accordo fra la Scuola di dottorato in Ingegneria Industriale dell’Università di Padova e l’azienda Franklin Electric srl di Dueville (VI). L’obiettivo del progetto è lo sviluppo di strumenti e conoscenza a supporto del progetto di stadi dal design compatto per pompe multistadio rotodinamiche, realizzati per stampaggio e saldatura di lamiera. Nella prima parte dello studio viene affrontata la questione della modellazione numerica delle macchine multistadio. In dettaglio, viene prima analizzato il problema della modellazione della turbolenza mediante un modello a due equazioni. A seguire viene descritto e validato sperimentalmente un approccio di modellazione numerica di macchine multistadio concepito per combinare accuratezza e rapidità di calcolo. Viene quindi descritta una tecnica di integrazione fra la modellazione numerica e la caratterizzazione sperimentale delle tenute a rasamento usate nella tipologia di stadi in esame, al fine di completare il modello numerico con la stima delle perdite volumetriche. La capacità del modello numerico di prevedere prestazioni e rendimento dello stadio viene validate sperimentalmente per tre diverse geometrie dello stadio. Inoltre, viene valutata l’accuratezza del calcolo della spinta assiale mediante due diversi approcci di simulazione. Nella seconda parte del lavoro, il modello numerico viene utilizzato per sviluppare delle linee guida per il progetto di stadi compatti per pompe multistadio. Anzitutto, dai risultati numerici vengono ricavate le caratteristiche individuali degli organi che compongono lo stadio (camera anulare e canali di ritorno). Successivamente, queste informazioni vengono integrate in un modello analitico che permette di stimare le prestazioni e il rendimento di uno stadio dal design compatto al variare del loading factor, fissati i vincoli di progetto. Infine, le informazioni ricavate e i modelli sviluppati vengono sintetizzati in un metodo di progetto di stadi dal design compatto.

Ett växande samhälle kräver ständigt behov av nya tekniska lösningar och innovationer för att fylla samhällets behov och dess fortsatta utveckling. I Sverige förekommer brister i innovationssystemet, där stöd till mindre bolag och för uppskalning är bristfälliga. Detta examensarbete består av en studie utförd för Produktionsänglar, ett koncept som stöttar startupföretag samt mindre företag som önskar skala upp en fysisk produkt från idé till serieproduktion. Produktionsänglar har tidigare lagt resurser på att förstå sig på startupföretagens perspektiv. Lika mycket tonvikt har inte lagts på tillverkarnas och därmed råder det inte samma förståelse för tillverkarnas perspektiv. Genom intervjuer med tillverkningsföretagen har kraven eller mer specifikt förutsättningar som tillverkningsföretagen sätter på startupföretagen identifierats. Detta för att båda parterna skall matchas utan svårigheter samtidigt som startupföretagens idé kan kommersialisera sig. Resultatet av studien visar att startupföretagen bör ha i överseende på fem förutsättningar för att de tillverkande företagen skall kunna ta an deras idé och samarbeta. De bör ha enekonomisk plan, matchande bransch med tydlig idé, se över marknadspotentialen, patent samt komma i kontakt med tillverkningsföretag i tidigare stadier.A growing society requires a constant need for new technological solutions and innovations to meet the society's demands and for its continued development. In Sweden there are shortcomings in its innovation system, where support for small scale companies and for upscaling is deficient. This thesis consists of a study carried out for Produktionsänglar, a concept which supports startups and smaller companies that want to scale up a physical product from an idea to batch production. Produktionsänglar have previously invested resources in understanding the startups perspective, but the same emphasis has not been placed on the manufacturers side. Thus the same understanding does not exist regarding the manufacturers' perspective. Through interviews with manufacturing companies, the requirements, more specifically the conditions which the manufacturing company places on startups have been identified in order to match the two parties without difficulty and where the startups idea can commercialize. The results of the study show that startups need to review five conditions for manufacturing companies in order for them to adopt their idea and be willing to cooperate. They should have a financial plan, matching industry with a clear idea, review market potential, patents and get involved with the manufacturing companies in earlier stages.

Full textAbstract:
Grazie allo sviluppo di nuovi media, la comunicazione del brand contemporaneo può consentire alle imprese di imporsi nella società con un’identità culturalmente rilevante, un vantaggio di portata ed efficacia tale da far si che la stessa offerta industriale superi i limiti del prodotto, del settore e del mercato. Nascono così nuove media companies. Nel primo capitolo viene illustrata la gestione del brand all’interno ed all’esterno dell’organizzazione. In particolare ci si sofferma sull’importanza di creare percezioni di marca nel pubblico. La metodologia del Perceptioning guida alla creazione di percezioni premianti per l’impresa e individua quattro aspetti principali che il management deve gestire per raggiungere questo obiettivo: gli attributi funzionali e il design di prodotto, la brand identity e la comunicazione di marca. Nel secondo capitolo si evidenzia l’incremento di importanza della comunicazione di marca nell’era del Web 2.0, sottolineando come le imprese di entertainment siano state fra le prime a cogliere le opportunità offerte dalla “nuova era di Internet”. Da queste realtà le società non appartenenti al settore dell’entertainment devono trarre ispirazione per orientare la propria attività di comunicazione alla creazione massiva di contenuti di intrattenimento altamente coinvolgenti per l’utente. Alcuni casi studio, relativi ad imprese di intrattenimento, aiuteranno nella comprensione di questi concetti. Infine viene illustrato il processo di trasformazione di una società non di entertainment in una media company. Il management deve innanzitutto predisporre una serie di analisi preliminari. Successivamente si affronta la trasformazione dell’infrastruttura interna e la definizione della content strategy. A conclusione del capitolo vengono presentate alcune campagne incentrate sullo storytelling e, infine, vengono illustrati i casi di chi è riuscito a diventare una nuova media company (Red Bull e Virgin) e di chi sta cercando alacremente di raggiungere in breve l’obiettivo.

This thesis analyses the scope of the treaty articles 43 and 48 concerning the freedom of establishment of companies. The interpretations of these articles made by the Commission and the European Court of Justice are analysed to see whether they are consistent. The analysis encompasses the provisions and directives in the field of EC Company Law as well as the essential case law from the ECJ regarding these issues. The conclusion that must be drawn from this thesis is that the Court of Justice adds the momentum in these issues whilst the Commission is held up by political considerations.

This master thesis deals with the question of medical treatment financing focusing mainly on analysis of health insurance companies reimbursement rates and their comparison with costs of aftercare beds. Secondary goal of the thesis is comparison of acute care beds costs and aftercare beds costs. The opening chapter discusses relationships between economics and health service and describes structure of health care funding compared to insurace companies financing strategies. Payment mechanism mostly used in the aftercare field is the pay-per-day system, this mechanism is therefore later explained in detail including particular effects on after care beds financing. The second part of the thesis compares insurance reimbursement rates with real costs of one particular facility. The analysis proves that health insurance companies reimbursement rates are wrongly set and reimbursement legislation is being violated.

Full textAbstract:
Dans la vie sociale, les besoins sont regardés comme un préalable nécessaire à la définition d’un projet ou à la création d’un service. Pourtant s’ils apparaissent évidents, naturels, ils sont l’objet d’une construction sociale. Cette recherche se propose d’étudier le processus de fabrication des besoins sociaux dans la politique d’accueil des jeunes enfants en France en partant des questions suivantes : comment les besoins adviennent-ils sur la scène publique, dans quelle mesure sont-ils pris en considération, comment sont-ils exprimés ? Trois déterminants des besoins ont été au cœur de l’analyse : le politique, l’individu et le marché. Nous avons montré que les besoins sociaux reçoivent plusieurs formes de « mise en visibilité » pour exister publiquement mais que cette politisation aboutit partiellement à les faire reconnaître comme un vrai problème. Par ailleurs, la reconnaissance des besoins sociaux passe par leur transformation en une « demande sociale ». Dans le secteur de la petite enfance, cette expression est rendue difficile parce que la photographie des besoins qui ressort des enquêtes est très hétérogène, mais aussi en raison de l’existence d’une non-demande (le non-recours au service), et à cause des situations « d’imprévisibilité » dans lesquelles se trouvent les parents par rapport à leur mode d’accueil. Enfin, les besoins sont étroitement liés à ceux qui les couvrent. Dans le cadre du nouveau marché des crèches d’entreprise, un déplacement s’opère : les besoins des familles sont mis en arrière-plan au profit de ceux des entreprises et des collectivités financeurs et potentiels clients des services. Ceci étant, les entreprises de crèches continuent à faire exister les besoins des familles, autrement, de manière plus quantitative, notamment par les plates-formes de réservation de places et par la promotion de deux figures du parent, celle du « salarié-parent » et celle du « parent-prospect »In social life, needs are considered as a necessary prerequisite to the definition of a project or the creation of a service. Though they seem obvious and natural, they result from a social construction. This research sets out to study the making process of social needs regarding child care policy in France from the following questions : how do needs arise on public scene, to what extent are they taken into consideration, how are they expressed ? Three determinative were at the heart of our analysis : politics, market and the individual. We have shown that social needs acknowledge several forms of “visibiliting” so as to exist on public scene but that actually this politicization partially succeeds in making them recognize as a real problem. On the other hand, the recognition of social needs goes through their transformation into one social request. In child care field, this expression turns out to be difficult, because the picture of the needs which emerge from surveys is very heterogeneous, owing to the existence of no-requesting (no-resorting to services), because of some situations of “unpredictability” in which parents cope with child minding. Finally, needs are closely linked to those who cover them. Within the context of the firm child care centres’ new market, a transfer has occurred : families’ needs have been relegated to the background to the profit of the firms and local communities’ ones :services’ financing and potential customers. Yet, market continues making families ‘ needs exist but differently, in a more quantitative way, in particular through child care centres’ websites and also by the promotion of both new faces of the parent : “salaried-parent” and “prospect-parent”

Esta dissertação de mestrado propõe-se a apresentar um estudo sobre a obra ficcional de Seamus Deane Reading in the Dark à luz das recentes idéias sobre a redefinição do conceito de identidade norte-irlandesa. No pano de fundo deste romance autobiográfico, identificamos a presença de episódios históricos envolvendo o choque entre unionistas pró-britânicos e Nacionalistas irlandeses, que levou ao conflito conhecido como "The Troubles". Esses episódios, e suas conseqüências, são apresentados através da perspectiva de um protagonista autodiegético, que relata três décadas, de 1940 a 1960. Enquanto o personagem cresce, sua percepção obviamente vai-se alterando. O efeito final da minha leitura do romance - que foi escrito na década de 1990 - é a abertura de uma nova perspectiva, relacionada com a necessidade de redefinir questões da nacionalidade irlandesa. Reading in the Dark é um romance sobre contradições entre duas culturas que não conseguem - mas necessitam - co-existir, vistas através da perspectiva de um adolescente inteligente e bem intencionado. Este texto literário oferece uma formulação sobre os novos avanços a em relação às questões de identidade e tolerância, as quais podem ser abordadas de três formas: o conflito pode ser analisado internamente, através da oposição entre as comunidades Católicas e Protestantes, ou externamente, considerando os interesses da ilha da Irlanda, em oposição aos oitocentos anos de dominação inglesa. A terceira solução propõe uma redefinição de todos os conceitos implicados. Como conseqüência dessa crise, o romance denuncia e redefine os sistemas políticos usados como instrumentos de dominação e de manutenção e validação do choque entre as duas ideologias existentes que levaram ao sectarismo no território da Irlanda do Norte. A discussão levada a cabo nesta dissertação está baseada nos presentes debates sobre estudos culturais, especialmente como propostos por Terry Eagleton e por outros membros do "Field Day Theatre Company", que analisam as questões relativas à identidade. Esses intelectuais escolheram reavaliar as narrativas dominantes sobre a Irlanda, incluindo a formação dos mitos que motivou o acirramento dessa hostilidade contra a parte oposta. Esta dissertação está estruturada em três capítulos principais. Dois deles contextualizam o plano de fundo da narrativa e da agenda política crítica do "Field Day Theatre Company". O capítulo de análise é centrado em treze cenas fortes selecionadas do romance, as quais são comentadas a partir de considerações tecidas nos limites dos capítulos anteriores. No final do trabalho, eu espero validar a importância do romance autobiográfico de Seamus Deane Reading in the Dark no processo de reexame dos discursos que levaram à falta de comunicação entre duas comunidades que vivem em um mesmo território.This thesis consists of a study of Seamus Deane's Reading in the Dark in the light of recent ideas regarding the redefinition of the concept of Northern Irish identity. In the background of this auto-biographical novel we identify the presence of historical episodes involving the clash between British Unionists and Irish Nationalists, which led to the conflicts known as "The Troubles." These episodes, and their consequences, are presented through the filter of an autodiegetic protagonist/narrator, through a time-span of three decades, from the 1940s to the 1960s. As the character grows, perception is obviously altered. The final effect of my reading of this novel - which was written in the 1990's - is the opening a new perspective, related to the need of redefining issues of national identity. Reading in the Dark is a novel about the contradictions between two cultures which cannot - but must - co-exist, as seen through the eyes of one growing perceptive, well-meaning intelligent young man. This literary text offers a statement about a new advance towards the issues of identity and toleration, which can be approached in three ways: the conflict can be analyzed internally, through the opposition between the Catholic and the Protestant parts of the community; or externally, considering the interests of the island of Ireland, as opposed to eight-hundred years of English domination. The third solution proposes a redefinition of all concepts implied. As a consequence of this crisis, the novel simultaneously denounces and redefines the political systems used as instruments of domination, and the maintenance and validation of the clash between the two existing ideologies that led to sectarianism within the northern territory. The discussion held in this thesis is based on the present state of the debate regarding Cultural Studies, especially as proposed by Terry Eagleton and by other members of the Field Day Theatre Company, who analyze the questions concerning identity. These intellectuals choose to revaluate the dominant narratives about Ireland, including the formation and the use made of myths that have heightened the sense of hostility against the opposite part. This thesis is structured in three main chapters. Two of them contextualize the background of the narrative and present the critical-political agenda of the Field Day Theatre Company. The chapter of analysis centers on thirteen strong scenes selected from the novel, which are woven within the framing previous chapters. At the end of the work, I hope to validate my belief in the social function of literature, by stressing the importance of Seamus Deane's Reading in the Dark in this process of re-examination of old discourses that led to the failure of communication between the two communities living in the same territory.

Full textAbstract:
Le jour-amende, introduit en France par la loi n°83-466 du 10 juin 1983, est une « peine pécuniairecorrectionnelle qui astreint le condamné à verser au Trésor public une somme, dont le montantglobal résulte de la détermination par le juge d'une contribution quotidienne pendant un certainnombre de jours, et qui peut être prononcée à la place de l'emprisonnement ou cumulativement ».Cette définition passe toutefois sous silence le second aspect de cette peine, dont la particularité,par rapport à l'amende ordinaire, réside dans la possibilité d'ordonner l'exécution d'une détentionpour une durée équivalente au nombre de jours-amende impayé. Cette sanction pénale est ainsicaractérisée par sa dualité matérielle, qui a conduit le législateur à lui attribuer un régime enapparente adéquation avec cette spécificité. Or, trente ans après sa consécration en France, lejour-amende peine à trouver sa place au sein du système répressif. Loin d'avoir satisfait auxespoirs portés par son introduction, dans un contexte de lutte contre les courtes peinesd'emprisonnement, le jour-amende semble se heurter à des difficultés liées à son fonctionnement.Sa dualité matérielle, qui est son atout majeur, a conduit à une réelle ambiguïté fonctionnelle. Uncertain nombre d'incohérences est à déplorer dans le système mis en place par le législateurfrançais. Ce constat, accentué par l'étude du droit comparé, conduit à la certitude que le jouramendedoit être réformé. Aussi, ce travail de recherche tend à élaborer un certain nombre depropositions pouvant servir de base à l'initiation d'une réflexion législative, en vue d'une réformequi semble indispensableThe day-fine, introduced in France by law n°83-466 of 10 june 1983, is defined as « a fine thatrequires the convicted offender to pay the Treasury a sum of money which results from the judge'sdetermination of a daily contribution for a number of days, and which may be imposed instead of,or in addition to, imprisonment ». This definition ignores the second aspect of the penalty.Specifically, it is possible to order the detention for a period equivalent to the number of unpaidday-fines. This criminal sanction is thus characterized by its material duality which is consistentwith this apparent specificity. However, thirty years after its acceptance in France, it is clear that theday-fine is struggling to find its place within the law enforcement system. Far from having metexpectations when il was introduced, in a context of fighting against short prison sentences, theday-fine seems to be facing a number of difficulties relating to its functioning. Its material duality,which is the biggest advantage, has become a real functional ambiguity. Regrettably, there are anumber of inconsistencies in the legal system. This, highlighted by the study of comparative law,leads to the certainty that the day-fine must be reformed. Also, this research aims to formulate anumber of proposals which could be used as a basis for a debate and a reform that seemsnecessary

It discusses the critical issues from the perspectives of macroeconomics, structural configuration, and a transition to renewable energy sources. More precisely, three topics emerge: the nexus between electricity consumption and economic growth, the impacts of vertical integration between power generators and retailers, and the market impacts and integration issues of intermittent renewable generation. By studying these three topics, it provides answers to the key challenges of supply security, competitiveness and sustainable development in the energy sector. By giving new research directions of energy economics, it serves to inspire related policy debates

Background: According to the United Nations AIDS Reference Group (2010) and World Health Organization (2010:2), approximately 33 million people in the world had HIV/AIDS in 2009 of which 2.6 million were children. More than 30 million of these individuals resided in low– and middle–income countries. South–Africa had the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the world with an estimated 5.2 million patients in 2009 (Statistics South Africa, 2010:2). Although the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among children is reported to be high, little is known about other medication administrated concomitantly with their antiretroviral drugs.
Objective: The general objective of this study was to investigate possible changes in the medicine prescribing patterns of HIV/AIDS and non–HIV/AIDS children.
Methods: A quantitative, retrospective drug utilisation review was performed utilising medicine claims data of a South African pharmacy benefit management company. Data for a four–year period (Jan 1, 2005 to Dec 31, 2008) were analysed. The study population consisted of all children <=12 years divided into those receiving ARVs (designated HIV positive) and those without (designated HIV negative).
Descriptive statistics such as average mean, standard deviation, t–test, d–values, and two way frequency tables were used to describe the results. Data were analysed using the Statistical Analysis System ® SAS 9.1 ® programme.
Results: The study population (children <= 12 years) represented 16.2% (n = 197 323) of the total population in 2005, 15.4% (n = 193 346) in 2006, 15.6% (n = 142 049) in 2007 and 13.3% (n = 98 939) in 2008. Children with HIV/AIDS represented 0.2% (n = 197 323) of the study population in 2005 and increased to 0.4% (n = 98 939) in 2008, whereas the percentage of children without HIV/AIDS decreased from 99.8% (n = 197 323) in 2005 to 99.6% (n = 98 939) in 2008. The total number of HIV/AIDS children that also received other medication concomitantly with their ARVs increased from 96.5% (n = 402) in 2005 to 97.2% (n = 427) in 2008. Males with HIV/AIDS who used other medication represented 52.6% (n = 388) in 2005 and increased to 53.3% in 2008 while female HIV/AIDS patients represented 47.4% in 2005 and decreased to 46.7% in 2008.
Prescriptions containing three ARV items represented 69.5% (n = 2 969) of the total number of prescriptions received by HIV/AIDS patients in 2005 and decreased to 67.7% in 2008. The combination of lamivudine, nevirapine and stavudine were the three products that appeared most frequently on prescriptions for HIV/AIDS children in the age group 0 <= 1 years and 1 <= 5 years from 2005 to 2008. In the age group 5 <= 12 years the combination most frequently prescribed was lamivudine, nevirapine and zidovudine.
HIV positive children received 6.2 ± 4.62 prescriptions for other medication (non–ARVs) per year during 2005 compared to HIV negative children with 3.9 ± 3.71 (p < 0.0001, d = 0.5). In 2008 HIV positive children received 6.4 ± 5.02 prescriptions per year compared to HIV negative patients who received 4.36 ± 4.05 prescriptions (p < 0.0001, d = 0.5) in 2008.
HIV negative children received more central nervous system items, endocrine items and autacoids than HIV positive children, whereas HIV positive children received more respiratory system agents, dermatological, ear, nose throat and antimicrobials items.
Conclusion: The study showed that HIV positive children received significantly more prescriptions for other medication per year compared to their HIV negative counterparts. The top pharmacological groups mostly prescribed to both groups were respiratory agents, antimicrobials, analgesics, dermatological and ear, nose and throat items.Thesis (M.Pharm.

In this thesis I outline the contribution Community-based theatre has made to New Zealand theatre. This involves a defining of theatre production as a material practice. Community-based theatre was a tendency from the 1930s, a promise of the left theatre movement and, I argue, was being searched for as a form of practice by the avant-garde, experimental practitioners of the 1970s. At the same time, early Māori theatre began as a Community-based practice before moving into the mainstream.
With the arrival of neo-liberalism to Aotearoa in 1984, community groups and Community-based theatre could become official providers within the political system. This led to a flowering of practices, which I describe, together with the tensions that arise from being a part of that system. However, neo-liberalism introduced managerial practices into state contracting and patronage policy, which effectively denied this flowering the sustenance deserved. At the same time, these policies commodified mainstream theatre production.
In conclusion, I argue that in the current situation of global crisis, Community-based theatre practice has a continuing role to play in giving voice to the multitude and by being a practice of the Common.

Superati «novant’anni d’impazienza» e dopo un lungo periodo votato all’autocommento e all’esplorazione delle proprie intenzioni, Raffaele La Capria ha raccolto le sue opere in due Meridiani curati da Silvio Perrella. La Capria ne ha celebrato l’uscita nella prolusione inaugurale di Salerno Letteratura, poi confluita nel breve autoritratto narrativo "Introduzione a me stesso" (2014). In questa sede, l’autore è tornato su alcuni punti essenziali della sua riflessione sulla scrittura, come la relazione, reciproca e ineludibile, fra tradizione e contemporaneità. All’epilogo del «romanzo involontario» di una vita, La Capria guarda retrospettivamente alla propria esperienza come ad un’autentica educazione intellettuale. Perciò, muovendo da un’intervista inedita del 2015, riportata integralmente in appendice, la tesi ha l’obiettivo di ricostruire l’apprendistato letterario di La Capria dai primi anni Trenta, quando l’autore ancora frequentava il ginnasio, fino all’inizio dei Sessanta, quando ottenne il premio che ne avrebbe assicurato il successo. Il percorso, che riesamina l’intera bibliografia lacapriana nella sua varietà e nella sua stratificazione, si articola in una serie di fasi interdipendenti: la partecipazione indiretta alle iniziative dei GUF (intorno alle riviste «IX maggio» e «Pattuglia»); l’incursione nel giornalismo e l’impegno culturale nell’immediato dopoguerra (sulle pagine di «Latitudine» e di «SUD»); l’attività di traduttore dal francese e dall’inglese (da André Gide a T.S. Eliot); l’impiego alla RAI come autore e conduttore radiofonico (con trasmissioni dedicate a Orwell, Stevenson, Saroyan e Faulkner); la collaborazione con «Il Gatto Selvatico», la rivista dell’ENI voluta da Enrico Mattei e diretta da Attilio Bertolucci; e le vicende editoriali dei suoi primi due romanzi, “Un giorno d’impazienza” (1952) e “Ferito a morte” (1961), fino alla conquista dello Strega. La rilettura dell’opera di uno scrittore semi-autobiografico come La Capria, attraverso il costante riscontro di fonti giornalistiche, testimonianze epistolari e documenti d’archivio che avvalorano e occasionalmente smentiscono la sua versione dei fatti, diventa allora un’occasione per immergersi nella sua mitografia personale e avventurarsi in territori finora poco esplorati: come la ricostruzione del suo profilo culturale, a partire dal milieu in cui La Capria vive e opera, o l’incidenza delle letture e delle esperienze giovanili sulla sua prassi letteraria.

Abstract The Taiwan stock market proposed an important change of regulation of trading system in 2012 regarding the tax issues and the stock market had extremely negative response for the change. The administration department of stock market started the day trade operation to improve the trading behavior of stock market. In addition, the administration department also proposed the cut of transaction taxes in 2017 to achieve the same goal of stimulating the trading volume of stock market. Both changes have substantial influence in Taiwan stock market. In this paper, we would like to test the impact of both changes on the trading performance of the top 100 investors in T brokerage company. Utilizing the summary statistics and multivariate regression analysis, we have several major findings regarding the research question above. First, we find that the trading volume of Taiwan stock market increases significantly after the policy of tax cut in 2017. The profits of these trades, however, do not increase simultaneously. Second, the empirical evidence shows that the profits of day trades decrease substantially if the investors have the volume of day trading more than 50%, which is defined as day traders. Finally, we find that the gender of investors does not have significant impact of the trading performance in the day trades or regular trades, which is unique finding in Taiwan stock market.

Accounting and accountability researchers have shown new interest in the study of religious organizations by exploring how secular practices associated with accounting and accountability mesh with religious goals and activities. Despite
burgeoning research into accountability relatively little is known about the nature of accountability in religious organizations. The present study seeks to address this need
by exploring the accountability practices of a business entity owned and operated by an Australian religious minority.
This study focuses on the accountability practices of the Sanitarium Health Food Company (SHF), a food manufacturing business owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. SHF is a non-profit organization whose annual gross revenue is estimated at between A$300m to A$400m, making it one of Australia’s top earning charities. SHF provides no formal financial reporting to church members and only a handful of church elites know the financial details of this organization. As a charity SHF is not required to pay income tax; as a department of the Adventist Church it is subjected to minimal regulatory requirements and therefore justifies not disclosing its financial details to church members or the public. However, as a charity there is an expectation that the organization would detail how profits are used, the causes it supports and the extent of that support. This information has not been readily forthcoming from the organization.
Church members view SHF as being an Adventist organization upholding and promoting denominational teachings, values and practices; to the public the organization presents itself as a charity promoting disinterested humanitarianism. This case study combines historical and field research methodology. It draws on archival and published material relating to the SHF and Adventist community and data from interviews with a range of stakeholders. The primary focus of the study is the period between 1970 and 2005, during which time SHF grew significantly and underwent major restructuring of its operations, management and orientation.
The study reveals that while SHF presents minimal formal reporting, the organization has evolved a sophisticated socialising accountability, aimed at promoting the operation to church members as an Adventist institution and to the wider public as a mainstream charity. The study highlights that a feature of Adventist accountability relates to a unique interpretation of the notion of being accountable to God. Adventists believe in a literal investigative audit in heaven commencing in 1844. This teaching differentiates Adventists from other religious groups. The teaching provides the primary focus of Adventist accountability, motivates social action and regulates Adventist organizational behaviour.
The study of SHF provides a vantage point from which to examine the role that religious beliefs play in promoting commercial activities. In the study of SHF, religious beliefs and secular business practices overlap, each reinforcing the other. The evidence presented in relation to SHF highlights a meshing of religious values and secular operations in ways that make it impossible to compartmentalise sacred and secular activities within the Adventist organization.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, Business School, 2008

On December 6, 2016, the Legislature passed a partial amendment to the Labor Standards Act. This new law, which is abbreviated as “one regular leave day and one rest day” was implemented on January 1, 2017. It includes: There must be a holiday and a rest day every 7 days, 7 days national holiday is deleted, employers should pay wages if annual leave for workers is not completed, improve overtime pay for overtime, increase the number of junior employees and special holidays and other major issues . The main reason for the adoption of the ordinance is that the government departments are sympathetic to the majority of labor groups, the result was unsatisfactory for both employers and employees. This study is a case study of W company S factory. The research purpose is to explore the key issues of "one regular leave day and one rest day" and how and why it cause people''s grievances. It is hoped that through this study, relevant parties and organizations can be assisted. In addition to the analysis of relevant literature, this study takes qualitative research as the main research method. A total of 6 persons including employees, senior managers, and senior managers of the W company S factory of the traditional industry were interviewed. The data obtained from the interviews were classified and grouped, and the impact of the one regular leave day and one rest day system on the research subjects was constructed. The results showed that most people responded positively to one regular leave day and one rest day, including annual leave will not change, welfare will not change, and time off work will increase. However, they also said that one regular leave day and one rest day lead to a reduction in pay and greater pressure on life. At the same time, many supervisors also stated that one regular leave day and one rest day has increased the difficulty of management, because the new system has resulted in insufficient on-line manpower, production capacity has been reduced. Moreover, new types of deformation work hours also have difficulties in implementation, and the training of new people takes a long time when managers really want to solve the manpower and capacity problems. In the research, it is suggested that the law can relax the hours of overtime and opportunities for the company to introduce Industry 4.0 in the future. It is hoped that the results of this study can be used as a reference for the revision of the law and for subsequent research by the labor administrative agency and the employers and employees.

Working hours and special leave of labor right were the main issues had been amended in Labor Standard Laws on January 31, 2018. The provisions of Articles 24, 32, 34, 36-38, and 86 were amended; the provisions of Article 32-1 were added. And the date of implementation is March 1st 2018. The amendments include new rules such as the calculation of overtime hours for rest days、the replacement of overtime pay、the flexibility of monthly overtime、the flexibility of holidays、the flexibility of shifts and the flexibility of special leave. At that time, the problem of Labor Standard Laws is insufficient flexibility to both parties which are employers and employees. The purpose of the amendment is to give employers great flexibility, but the elasticity for employers is the inconvenience of the other side which is employee. The amendment of Labor standard laws becomes evil for employees. The labor-management relationship is worsened by mutual suspicion. Therefore, this study takes the H company D factory as the object, and discusses the way of the labor-based law repair method, and hopes to solve the current predicament of a case. This study was conducted by interview trying to find the solution to solve the conflict that between employers and employees. And interview data were analyzed, the employees responded positively to some of the Amendment of Labor Standard Laws, including special vacations, constant benefits, and more rest periods. Negative responses included reduced salary and high pressure on life. The supervisor also said that the difficulty of scheduling due to a single break also increased management difficulties. The study found that the problem of low-paying structure has not been solved for a long time, the actual salary has not increased, the operating costs of enterprises have increased, the number of dispatched personnel has increased, and the relationship between employers and employees has deteriorated. Since the implementation of "One Fixed Day Off, One Flexible Day Off ", lack of flexibility and the result of a three-loss situation of labor, employer, and society require the government and enterprises to solve problems together in order to create a "three-win" labor environment.

In the 1980s, Field Day brought together some of the most important names in Irish artistic life—Brian Friel, Stephen Rea, Seamus Deane, Seamus Heaney, Tom Paulin, David Hammond and Thomas Kilroy—to articulate a cultural intervention into the deadly stalemate of the Northern Irish ‘Troubles’. At the heart of the enterprise was an annual theatre tour around the island of Ireland that visited cities and small villages, playing in theatres and community venues. These plays did not tackle the ‘Troubles’ directly, but brought their audiences to places such as pre-Famine Ireland, the world of Greek tragedy, pre-Revolutionary Russian provinces and apartheid South Africa. Informed by poststructuralist thinking and archival materials, this book argues that the political and postcolonial salience of these dramas lies in the ways in which they foregrounded acts of cultural translation in order to disrupt disabling constructions of Irish identity that had contributed to engendering the ‘Troubles’.

Full textAbstract:
Στόχος αυτής της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η διερεύνηση του τρόπου με τον οποίον ο Βορειοϊρλανδός ποιητής Seamus Heaney, έχοντας επηρεαστεί από τις Ταραχές και την αγριότητα του Ιρλανδικού εμφυλίου πολέμου, αντιλαμβάνεται το σύγχρονο πόλεμο στην Βόρειο Ιρλανδία μέσα από την ποιητική σύνδεσή του με τον αρχαίο μύθο και την αρχαία Ελληνική τραγωδία. Αντικείμενα μελέτης αυτής της εργασίας αποτελούν το θεατρικό έργο The Cure at Troy (1990), που είναι διασκευή του Φιλοκτήτη του Σοφοκλή, και μια σειρά πέντε ποιημάτων, βασισμένων στην Ορέστεια του Αισχύλου, με τίτλο Η Βίγλα των Μυκηνών (Mycenae Lookout) από τη συλλογή Το Αλφάδι (The Spirit Level 1996).
Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο θα γίνει μία σύντομη ιστορική αναδρομή αναφορικά με τις πολιτικές και κοινωνικές συνθήκες που επικράτησαν για αιώνες και εξέθρεψαν το Ιρλανδικό πρόβλημα. Θα απαντηθεί γιατί στην Ιρλανδία καλλιεργήθηκε η μετάφραση και η διασκευή κλασικών έργων σε τέτοια έκταση, και θα καταδειχθεί ότι μέσα σε αυτό το περιβάλλον καταπίεσης και κοινωνικών διακρίσεων η κλασική παιδεία, με μακραίωνη παράδοση στην Ιρλανδία, συνδυάστηκε με την αμφισβήτηση της Βρετανικής κυριαρχίας επί της νήσου. Ακολούθως θα συζητηθεί για ποιο λόγο, κατά την τελευταία τριακονταετία ειδικότερα, αρκετοί σύγχρονοι Ιρλανδοί ποιητές και θεατρικοί συγγραφείς, σε μία προσπάθεια να ερμηνεύσουν τα διάφορα κοινωνικά, πολιτικά και θρησκευτικά προβλήματα που απασχολούν τόσο την κοινωνία της Δημοκρατίας της Ιρλανδίας όσο και αυτήν της Βόρειας Ιρλανδίας (Ulster), στράφηκαν προς την αρχαία Ελληνική τραγωδία, κάνοντας διασκευές και προσαρμόζοντας τα αρχαία κείμενα στις σύγχρονες συνθήκες. Σε αυτή την κατεύθυνση σημαντικό ρόλο έπαιξε ο θεατρικός οργανισμός Field Day, του οποίου η θεματολογία προσανατολίστηκε σε μεταφράσεις και διασκευές αρχαίων ελληνικών τραγωδιών.
Στο δεύτερο και το τρίτο κεφάλαιο θα αναλυθούν το θεατρικό έργο The Cure at Troy και τα πέντε ποιήματα της σειράς Η Βίγλα των Μυκηνών, αντίστοιχα, και θα διερευνηθούν οι τρόποι με τους οποίους ο ποιητής διαφοροποιείται από τα αρχαία πρωτότυπα έργα. Στη συνέχεια θα εξεταστεί ο τρόπος με τον οποίον ο Heaney χρησιμοποιεί τα αρχαία έργα για να πραγματευτεί θέματα όπως η σημασία της ‘πληγής’ της Ιρλανδίας και της ‘θεραπείας’, η σύγκρουση μεταξύ προσωπικής ακεραιότητας και πολιτικής σκοπιμότητας, η κοινωνική ευθύνη του ατόμου, η απώλεια της λογικής και της ανθρωπιάς μπροστά στη βιαιότητα του πολέμου. Μέσω του μύθου, ο ποιητής καταγγέλλει την αποικιοκρατία, την εκδικητικότητα, το μίσος, την πολιτική βία, τον πόλεμο και τις συνέπειές τους στη ζωή των συμπατριωτών του. Επίσης θα γίνει εκτενής αναφορά στην έντονη συζήτηση που προκάλεσε το θεατρικό έργο The Cure at Troy σχετικά με το κατά πόσο υπάρχει αντιστοιχία μεταξύ των αρχαίων και των σύγχρονων πολιτικών καταστάσεων και με το αν οι χαρακτήρες στο έργο του Heaney αντιπροσωπεύουν σύγχρονα ιστορικά πρόσωπα που έλαβαν μέρος στον Ιρλανδικό εμφύλιο πόλεμο.
Μέσα από την εις βάθος ανάλυση του θεατρικού έργου και των πέντε ποιημάτων η εργασία θα καταλήξει στο συμπέρασμα ότι ο Heaney χρησιμοποιεί τους τραγικούς χαρακτήρες για να προβάλλει ένα όραμα για το μέλλον και για να εκφράσει την ελπίδα του για εθνική συμφιλίωση και τον πόθο για ειρήνευση και επιστροφή σε μία φυσιολογική ζωή. Τέλος, θα αναδυθεί ο βασανιστικός προβληματισμός που απασχολεί τον Heaney διαχρονικά, αναφορικά με τον ρόλο του ποιητή μέσα σε μια κοινωνία που ταλανίζεται από την κρίση και με το κατά πόσο η ποίηση έχει τη δύναμη να επηρεάζει την κοινωνία χωρίς να παράγει πολιτική προπαγάνδα.The present thesis studies how Seamus Heaney, having been highly influenced by the ferocity of the ‘Troubles’, perceives the civil war in Northern Ireland through its poetic connection with ancient Greek myth and drama. Study subjects of this thesis are Heaney’s play The Cure at Troy (1990), which is an adaptation of Sophocles’ Philoctetes, and a sequence of five poems by Heaney titled ‘Mycenae Lookout’ (The Spirit Level 1996) which is based on Aeschylus’ trilogy the Oresteia. The first chapter comprises of a short historic retrospection on the political and social conditions that prevailed for centuries and generated the Irish problem. It attempts to answer why the translation and adaptation of classic plays was used so extensively, and it suggests that in an oppressive environment of social and religious discrimination, classical education, of a long tradition in the island, was associated with the questioning of the British rule over Ireland. It will be shown that over the last thirty years in particular, many contemporary Irish poets and playwrights, in an effort to interpret various socio-political problems that concern the Republic of Ireland as well as Northern Ireland (Ulster), have been inspired by ancient Greek drama. Towards this direction, the Field Day Theatre Company has played a crucial role on the reworking of ancient Greek tragedies. An analysis of Heaney’s play The Cure at Troy and of the five poems of Mycenae Lookout will be presented in the second and third chapter, respectively. In both chapters, there will be a discussion on the ways his work is differentiated from the ancient original plays, and on how he treats subjects such as the significance of the ‘wound’ of Ireland and of the ‘cure’, the conflict between personal integrity and political expediency, the responsibility of the individual towards the community, the loss of reason and humanity in times of war. Through the ancient myths the poet denounces colonialism, vindictiveness, bigotry, faction, political violence and their consequences in the life of Irishmen. There will also be an extensive account on the issue of political allegory raised in the play The Cure at Troy, and on whether there is an equivalence between the ancient and the contemporary political situation. The thesis epilogue will come to the conclusion that Heaney uses the tragic characters to project a vision for the future of Northern Ireland, and to express his hope and desire for national reconciliation and peace. Finally, there will emerge the tantalizing problem that has been occupying Heaney’s mind over the years regarding the role of the poet in a community that has been harassed by the war crisis and whether poetry has the power to influence the society without producing political propaganda.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the struggle of the Catholic Church to be true to itself and its mission in the midst of other religions, in the context of the non-Catholic American culture, and in relation to the modern world and its discontents. As milestones of the global interfaith movement, American religious freedom and pluralism, and of the relation of religion to modernity, the Chicago Parliaments of Religions offer a unique window through which to view this Catholic struggle at work in the religious public square created by the Parliaments and the evolution of that struggle over the course of the century framed by the two Chicago events.
In relation to other religions, the Catholic Church stretched itself from an exclusivist position of being the only true and good religion to an inclusivist position of recognizing that truth and good can be present in other religions. Uniquely, Catholic involvement in the centennial Parliament made the Church stretch itself even further, beyond the exclusivist-inclusivist spectrum into a pluralist framework in which the Church acted humbly as one religion among many.
In relation to American culture, the Catholic Church stretched itself from a Eurocentric and monarchic worldview with claims of Catholic supremacy to the American alternative of democracy, religious freedom, and the separation of church and state.
In relation to modernity, the Church stretched itself from viewing the modern world as an enemy to be fought and conquered to befriending modernity and designing some specific accommodations to it.
In these three relationships, there was indeed a shift, but not at all a clean break. Instead a stretch occurred, acknowledging a lived intra-Catholic tension between religious exclusivism and inclusivism, between a universal Catholic identity and Catholic inculturation in America (and in other cultures), and between the immutability of Catholic eternal truths and their translatability into the new languages offered by the modern world. In all this the Second Vatican Council was the major catalyst. For all three cases the Chicago Parliaments of Religions serve as environments conducive to the raising of important questions about Catholic identity, the Catholic understanding of non-Catholics, and Catholic interfaith relations.

PCB (Printed Circuit Board, PCB) in the manufacturing process, finished goods tend to be people, machines, materials, environment, process, and so the quality factors causing yield variability, past quality control, led mainly applied statistics, China's industrial development accounted for a significant contribution to the position. But today's increasingly sophisticated management techniques, management methods and computer performance has matured with each passing day, if application of database technology within the report data entry on computer and data processing by computer algorithms that can provide decision support for management. This study data collected in this study is already the end of the process, the next process for the product packaging, the study could not collect the whole process to process information, so the integrity of research needs of other researchers to gather together. In this study, analysis of test data sample size for the 1111 samples, the sample period from May 2009 to April 2010. Use a decision tree algorithm with the two association rules, the case provides individual test day report of PCB input to Excel spreadsheets, use mining tools SPSS PASW Modeler 13.0 Chinese trial version, open the mine after the tool to import Excel data analysis. The results of this study is able to enter the machine at the time of each test period yield on the quality of output to do a full show, but also for machine analysis of the optimal parameter set basis. Enter the testers in the time period yield on the quality of output, can understand the optimal portfolio mix between testers and machine (machine parameters). This study only take a certain point in time during the data analysis test time and test the continuity of data types such as date, start the analysis does not analyze within a certain time and date the relationship between yield and quality, the other will require continuous data type into a class-based data type, and content within the set threshold conditions required for the results of the last to appear in the tree graph with the results of association rules. Future research suggestions to collect research data if the longer time period of data (longitudinal data), the more managers can reference value.

Numa amostra constituída por 65 militares foram avaliadas as exigências do trabalho, sob a forma de Sobrecarga de Papel, os recursos do trabalho, sob a forma de Comunicação com o Chefe, e os recursos pessoais, sob a forma de Potencial de Coping. As Atividades Pessoais Desenvolvidas no Trabalho e os níveis de Exaustão Emocional e de Engagement foram avaliados numa base diária, ao longo de 2 semanas. Os resultados da modelação linear hierárquica indicam que a Sobrecarga de Papel e a Comunicação com o Chefe influenciam a quantidade diária de tempo que os indivíduos despendem nesse tipo de atividades. Estas relações são moderadas pelo Potencial de Coping e pelos níveis diários de Exaustão Emocional.
This work represents na attempt to integrate the studies about Personal Activities during Company Time with the Job Demands-Resources Model. In a sample of 65 militars, it was addressed Role Overload, as a job demand, Communication with Leader, as a job resource, and Coping Potential, as a personal resource. Personal Activities during Company Time, Emotional Exhaustion na Engagement were addressed on a daily basis, during 2 weeks. The results of linear hierarchical modeling showed that Role Overload and Communication with Leader influenced the ammount of time spend in those kind of activities. These relations are moderated by Coping Potential and day-levels of Emotional Exhaustion.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Warfarin is an anticoagulant that is used for the prophylactic and therapeutic
treatment for a wide range of thrombo-embolic disorders. The prescribing and monitoring of
warfarin therapy is challenging due to the fact that warfarin exhibits numerous interactions
with other drugs and a variety of factors that influence the dosing of warfarin.
Objective: The general objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of drugs
prescribed with warfarin that may have a potential drug-drug interaction (DDI) with warfarin.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational or qualitative study that was conducted
on medicine claims data of a pharmaceutical benefit management company for patients
receiving warfarin therapy for a six year period, ranging from 1 January 2005 to 31
December 2010. Drug products that were co-prescribed with warfarin were also identified
from the medicine claims database. The total number of prescriptions for all drug products
during the study period were analysed and compared to the warfarin dataset. This was done
by means of the SAS 9.1® computer package (SAS Institute, 2004). The total number of
prescriptions and medicine items claimed from the database during the study period were
respectively 49 523 818 and 118 305 941. Potential DDls between warfarin and coprescribed
drugs were identified and classified according to a clinically significant rating. The
clinically significance ratings of potential DDls are described in three degrees of severity,
identified as major, moderate and minor (Tatro, 2011 :xiv).
Results: The database consisted of 427 238 warfarin prescriptions and 427 744 warfarin
medicine items, which represented 0.9% of the total number of prescriptions and 0.4% of
total number of medicine items. The total number of patients who claimed warfarin
prescriptions through the database represented 0.9% (n=68 575) of the total number of
patients who claimed prescriptions in the total database (2005-2010). General practitioners
prescribed the highest frequency of warfarin medicine items, representing 58.3%
(n=249 202) of the total number prescribed. The age group that claimed the highest frequency of warfarin prescriptions (n=327 592, 76.6%) and the highest frequency of
warfarin medicine items (n=327 984, 76.7%) was age group 4 (consisting of patients 59
years and older). The distribution between females and males regarding warfarin
prescriptions claimed (n=205 999, 48.2%; n=221 117, 51.8%) and warfarin medicine items
claimed (n=206 232, 48.2%; n=221 390, 51.8%) were almost equal. General practitioners
prescribed the highest average PDD (7.01 mg ± 9.86 mg) of warfarin medicine items.
Paediatric cardiologists prescribed the lowest average PDD (4.61 mg ± 1.29 mg) of warfarin
medicine items. A d-value of 0.1 indicates that there is no practical difference of the average
PDD between general practitioners and paediatric cardiologists. The average PDD of
warfarin medicine items between females (6.60 mg ± 9.06 mg) and males (6.74 mg± 8.41
mg) was almost equal. The age group who was prescribed the highest average PDD was
age group 2 (consisting of patients 20 years to 39 years old) (7.42 mg± 7.42 mg). Age group
4 (consisting of patients 59 years and older) (6.50 mg± 8.90 mg) was prescribed the lowest
average PDD of warfarin medicine items. A d-value of 0.1 indicates that there is no practical
difference of the average PDDs of warfarin medicine items between these two age groups.
The results revealed that drugs with a significance rating (SR) of 1 (n=155 066, 43.3%), 2
(n=30128, 8.4%), 4 (n=137144, 38.3%), and 5 (n=36144, 10.1%) were co-prescribed with
warfarin in the six year study period. The five drugs that was co-prescribed with warfarin
most frequently was aspirin (n=48 903, 13.6%), thyroxine (n=33 954, 9.5%), amiodarone
(n=25 056, 7.0%), simvastatin (n=19 070, 5.3%) and celecoxib (n=10 794, 3.0%). These five
drugs have a SR of 1.
Conclusions: This study showed that the top five drugs most frequently prescribed with
warfarin are aspirin, thyroxine, amiodarone, simvastatin and celecoxib. These drugs can
potentially interact with warfarin. The potential interactions of these drugs are rated with a
significance rating of 1. This concludes that drugs that can potentially cause life threatening
effects and permanent damage are commonly co-prescribed with warfarin. Clinical data
concerning the INR or PT must be obtained in order to evaluate whether or not warfarin
therapy is changed when a potentially interacting drug is co-prescribed. The age of the
patients as well as the duration of warfarin treatment should also be obtained in order to
assess whether warfarin treatment is changed with the progression of age.MPharm (Pharmacy Practice), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013
