Overview of waste bank application in Indonesian regencies.

Managing municipal solid waste (MSW) is a critical for Indonesia, as the country produces a substantial amount of waste annually. However, Indonesia's recycling rate remains limited, less than 25% of its waste, with the rest ending up in landfills. To address this, waste banks have emerged as a community-based solution to enhance MSW management through recycling.

Clinical emergencies in inpatient hospice: simulation-based training to improve nursing confidence.

Objectives: This study aims to assess whether a simulation-based training programme focusing on palliative care emergencies conducted in a hospice setting could improve the self-reported confidence and competence of nursing staff.

Methods: A training programme was developed to enable nursing professionals to practice clinical skills necessary for recognising and managing palliative care emergencies including opioid induced respiratory depression, catastrophic haemorrhage, anaphylaxis, seizure and acute airway obstruction. Eight sessions were conducted.

Solid Waste Management Solutions for a Rapidly Urbanizing Area in Thailand: Recommendations Based on Stakeholder Input.

Municipal solid waste is a significant problem, particularly in developing countries that lack sufficient infrastructure and useable land mass to process it in an appropriate manner. Some developing nations are experiencing a combination of issues that prevent proper management of solid waste. This paper reviews the management of municipal solid waste in northeast Thailand, using the Tha Khon Yang Sub-district Municipality (TKYSM) in Maha Sarakham Province as a case study.

Barriers to Effective Municipal Solid Waste Management in a Rapidly Urbanizing Area in Thailand.

This study focused on determining the barriers to effective municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in a rapidly urbanizing area in Thailand. The Tha Khon Yang Subdistrict Municipality is a representative example of many local governments in Thailand that have been facing MSWM issues. In-depth interviews with individuals and focus groups were conducted with key informants including the municipality staff, residents, and external organizations.

Solid waste management in Thailand: an overview and case study (Tha Khon Yang sub-district).

Due to rapid urbanization, solid waste management (SWM) has become a significant issue in several developing countries including Thailand. Policies implemented by the Central Thai Government to manage SWM issues have had only limited success. This article reviews current municipal waste management plans in Thailand and examines municipal waste management at the local level, with focus on the Tha Khon Yang sub-district surrounding Mahasarakham University in Mahasarakham Province.

Molecular cloning and characterisation of the genes for a non-fimbrial adhesin from Escherichia coli.

A non-fimbrial adhesin (NFA-1) from the uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 827 responsible for agglutination of human erythrocytes was cloned using the cos 4 cosmid vector. A clone was isolated which promoted haemagglutination and showed the same biological properties as the adhesin produced by the wild type strain. Both express adhesin at 37 degrees C, but not 18 degrees C nor in the presence of 1% glucose.
