Background: The aim of this study was to assess public and private medical diagnostic laboratories in Nigeria for the presence of biosafety equipment, devices, and measures. Methods: A total of 80 diagnostic laboratories in biosafety level 3 were assessed for the presence of biosafety equipment, devices, and compliance rate with biosafety practices. A detailed questionnaire and checklist was used to obtain the relevant information from enlisted laboratories. Results: The results showed the presence of an isolated unit for microbiological work, leak-proof working benches, self-closing doors, emergency exits, fire extinguisher(s), autoclaves, and hand washing sinks in 21.3%, 71.3%, 15.0%, 1.3%, 11.3%, 82.5%, and 67.5%, respectively, of all laboratories surveyed. It was observed that public diagnostic laboratories were significantly more likely to have an isolated unit for microbiological work (p ¼ 0.001), hand washing sink (p ¼ 0.003), and an autoclave (p ? 0.001) than private ones. Routine use of hand gloves, biosafety cabinet, and a first aid box was observed in 35.0%, 20.0%, and 2.5%, respectively, of all laboratories examined. Written standard operating procedures, biosafety manuals, and biohazard signs on door entrances were observed in 6.3%, 1.3%, and 3.8%, respectively, of all audited laboratories. No biosafety officer(s) or records of previous spills, or injuries and accidents, were observed in all diagnostic laboratories studied. Conclusion: In all laboratories (public and private) surveyed, marked deficiencies were observed in the area of administrative control responsible for implementing biosafety. Increased emphasis on provision of biosafety devices and compliance with standard codes of practices issued by relevant authorities is strongly advocated.

Workplace Violence and Safety Issues in Long-Term Medical Care Facilities: Nurses' Perspectives

Bankole K. Fasanya,Emmanuel A. Dada 한국산업안전보건공단 산업안전보건연구원 2016 Safety and health at work Vol.7 No.2

Background: Workplace violence (WPV) is becoming an issue that needs immediate attention in the United States, especially during this period as more states are adopting the “stand your ground laws to promote worker protection.” This study was conducted to investigate how WPV has contributed to an unsafe environment for nurses and nursing assistants who work in long-term medical care facilities. Methods: A structure questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. Three facilities were sampled and 80 nurses and certified nursing assistants participated in the study. Ninety-two percent (n = 74) were female and 8% (n = 6) were male. Approximately 62% were black or African American, approximately 33% were Caucasians, and only 2% were from other ethnicities. Results: We found that 65% of the participants had experienced WPV while 41% believed that management shows little or no concern for their safety. Approximately 23% of respondents believed that reporting supervisor’s WPV act is an unsafe action. In addition, 22% of those who reported that they have experienced WPV believed that the work environment is not safe to perform their duties. This significant difference in perception of workplace safety between those who had experienced WPV and those who had not was significant (t = 3.95, df = 158, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: WPV is an epidemic problem that affects all health-care professionals. The findings of this study could help long-term medical care facilities’ management identify the areas to focus on mitigating, controlling, and/or eliminating incidents of WPV.

Bankole Cole,최관(Kwan Choi) 경찰대학 경찰학연구편집위원회 2007 경찰학연구 Vol.7 No.3

The purpose of this paper is to attempt a developmental plan for Criminal Justice Intervention by the Police in Child Sexual Abuse cases, using the British Police as a framework. The paper presents a developmental plan in three areas: (a) the expansion of the concept of child sexual abuse (b) the need for a multi-agency investigation team and (c) the need to support victims, witnesses and the investigative teams in the process of child sexual abuse investigation. The paper argues that (a) through the expansion of the concept of child sexual abuse, the police would be in a better position to protect children from various sexually abusive and anti-social behaviours (b) by encouraging cooperation between the agencies in the investigation process, police is in a position to investigate child sexual abuse and confront both its characteristics and transcendental situations more effectively and(c) Police have to make rules to support victims, witnesses and the investigative teams of child sexual abuse.

Youth Offending Teams in the Socio-political History of British Youth Justice: Lessons for Youth Justice Reform in South Korea

Park, Hyeon Ho;Cole, A, Bankole;Choi, Kwan 경찰대학교 2008 경찰학연구 Vol.8 No.2

이 논문은 영국의 소년사법에서 보건복지적 접근이 미치는 영향과 역할을 다루고 있으며 소년사범과 법정 소년범대응팀(V01'8)의 새로운 메커니즘으로 등장한 소년사범의 보건 이슈를 다루어보고 이률 통해 한국의 소년사법을 위한 발전적 방안을 제시하기 위 함이다. 이를 위해 먼저, 86011011 II 에서는 20세기를 기준으로 전후의 영국 소년범죄 자들에 대한 처우에 대해 살펴보고, 86011011 III 에서는 역사적인 맥락에서 영국의 소년 사법 체계에 다기관적 파트너쉽 체계가 등장하게 된 배경을 사회정치적 시각에서 살펴보았다. 또한 36011011 IV 는 구체적으로 1998년 범죄와무질서법의 시행과 함께 시작된 소년범대응팀YOTs)이 어떻게 청소년범죄자 및 범죄에 대응하는지에 대해서 살펴보았다. 결과적으로 section V 에서는 최근 한국의 소년법이 개정되면서 소년사법에 새로 운 번화가 예고되지만 여전히 누락되어 개선되어야 할 핵심적인 방향과 청소년 범죄 예 방을 위한 방법론을 다루었다. The purpose of this paper is to attempt the British Youth Offending Teams and political histories in youth Justice: Lessons for youth justice reform in the Republic of Korea. Also the aim of the study is to incite Korean criminal justice system, especially police service to consider seriously this issue as a main part of justice system's response to juvenile crimes, by introducing the British experiences in terms of perspectives, regulations and practice despite certain limitations specific to the country. Youth crime has been a highly publicized concern for many years. Focusing on the development of youth justice in the UK, the fear of youth crime will be placed in a social and historical context and it will illustrate that this fear is not a new phenomenon. Concerns about the behavior of young people can be traced back to as early as the seventeenth century. It will be illustrated that this fear has continued through the decades. However, whilst it can be seen that the actual fear of youth crime outweighs the reality, it is still a fact that young people do commit a large percentage of crimes in our society. Section n will identify some of the key risk factors in determining the likelihood of young people becoming involved in offending. Section IE will consider how youths have been dealt with in the criminal justice system through the last century. Some of the key changes in legislation will be identified. It will show how the treatment of young offenders transitioned from a punitive approach at the turn of the twentieth century towards a welfare approach in the post war period. The reversal of this trend through the 1970s and 1980s will be discussed, through to the most recent legislation, the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act. Section IV will look in more depth at the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act and the subsequent responses of the Youth Offending Teams (YOT). Finally, in Section V, it is suggested that there should be a significant improvement in the response of the South Korean government and constabulary to youth offenders.

Improved amylases were developed from protoplast fusants of two amylase-producing Aspergillus species. Twenty regenerated fusants were screened for amylase production using Remazol Brilliant Blue agar. Crude enzyme extracts produced by solid state fermentation of rice bran were assayed for activity. Three variable factors (temperature, pH and enzyme type) were optimized to increase the amylase activity of the parents and selected fusants using rice bran medium and solid state fermentation. Analysis of this optimization was completed using the Central Composite Design (CCD) of the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Amylase activity assays conducted at room temperature and 80℃ demonstrated that Aspergillus designates, T5 (920.21 U/ml, 966.67 U/ml), T13 (430 U/ml, 1011.11 U/ml) and T14 (500.63 U/ml, 1012.00 U/ml) all exhibited improved function making them the preferred fusants. Amylases produced from these fusants were observed to be active over the entire pH range evaluated in this study. Fusants T5 and T14 demonstrated optimal activity under acidic and alkaline conditions, respectively. Fusants T13 and T14 produced the most amylase at 72 h while parents TA, TC and fusant T5 produced the most amylase after 96 h of incubation. Response surface methodology examinations revealed that the enzyme from fusant T5 was the optimal enzyme demonstrating the highest activity (1055.17 U/ml) at pH 4 and a temperature of 40℃. This enzyme lost activity with further increases in temperature. Starch hydrolysis using fusant T5 gave the highest yield of glucose (1.6158 g/100 ml). The significant activities of the selected fusants at 28 ± 2℃ and 80℃ and the higher sugar yields from cassava starch hydrolysis over their parental strains indicate that it is possible to improve amylase activity using the protoplast fusion technique.
