Explanation of difenoconazole removal by chitosan with Langmuir adsorption isotherm and kinetic modeling.

In this study, the adsorption of toxic difenoconazole pesticide was investigated by using chitosan. In the first phase of the study, chitosan was extracted from deep-water pink shrimp () shells, by deacetylation of the chitin, which is separated and disposed of after meat extraction in processing facilities in Turkey. The deacetylation degree, molecular weight, viscosity, moisture, and crude-ash values of the extracted chitosan were determined.

Involvement of informal carers in discharge planning and transition between hospital and community mental health care: A systematic review.

What Is Known On The Subject: Family members and friends (informal carers) are very important for providing support to people with mental health difficulties. When these carers are included to care planning patients seem to benefit, as they are less likely to relapse.

Research shows that mental health problems - including depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder - are prevalent among trafficked people, and that at least some trafficked people come into contact with secondary mental health services in England.
