Hazardous chemical products have to comply with, amongst others, the provisions of a correct classification of danger, labelling and compilation of the safety data sheets. The aim is to protect people's health and the environment from exposure to hazardous chemicals- especially the health and safety of direct users, professionals or not, and the general public, via environmental exposure. This publication is intended to contribute to the knowledge of the objectives and basic aspects of these legal provisions, and thereby increase their degree of compliance in Andalusia and other european regions. This Guide is directed toward those people who, in the development of their professional activities, are in one way or another in contact with dangerous chemical products.

Molt sovint, a l’indústria de l’alimentació o de la cosmètica, hi ha promocions on s’afegeixen productes de regal; aquests els embalen amb un sleever (tipus de plàstic força rígid) que després retractilen. Aquestes promocions solen ser esporàdiques i canviants i això fa que no sigui factible la modificació de la línia de producció general per a realitzar-les. Per aquest motiu, moltes empreses disposen d’una petita màquina de tall rotatiu per a poder tallar els sleevers ells mateixos, i així tallar a molta velocitat i precisió aquestes petites produccions. Així doncs, esdevé molt interessant l’adquisició d’aquest tipus de maquinària. L’objectiu del projecte és fer l’automatització d’una màquina que pugui tallar aquest tipus de material ràpidament per fer-lo rentable

Physicians-pharmacists quality circles (PPQCs) were introduced in 1997-98 by visionary healthcare practitioners of the French-speaking part of Switzerland with the aim to improve the quality of drug prescription. Indeed the challenge is to manage the 7917 brand names of the Swiss drug market (2010), including 19793 different dosages, galenic formulations and packaging. The impact of these PPQCs on the containment of drug costs and on drug prescribing profiles has been demonstrated and has led to their spread throughout Switzerland. PPQCs provide clear educational benefits and have thus been accredited by various continuous education bodies. In this article, participating physicians and pharmacists share their vision and illustrate how they work and influence the safety and efficiency of drug prescription, a routine process complex enough to warrant sharing of its burden in a constructive interdisciplinary collaboration.

A transportable Raman spectrometer was tested for the detection of illicit drugs seized during border controls. In a first step, the analysis methodology was optimized using reference substances such as diacetylmorphine (heroin), cocaine and amphetamine (as powder or liquid forms). Adequate focalisation distance and times of analysis, influence of daylight and artificial light sources, repeatability and limits of detection were studied. In a second step the applications and limitations of the technique to detect the illicit substances in different mixtures and containers was evaluated. Transportable Raman spectroscopy was found to be adequate for a rapid screen of liquids and powders for the detection and identification of controlled substances. Additionally, it had the advantage over other portable techniques, such as ion mobility spectrometry, of being non-destructive and capable of rapid analysis of large quantities of substances through containers such as plastic bags and glass bottles.

The production of dicalcium phosphate are included in the list of industries classified as NORM in Euratom 29/96. The aim of this study is to determine the con-centrations of specific flows and their variability over time of 226Ra, 210Pb and 210Po in the inputs and out-puts of the production process. Also classified areas of the plant and the workers according to the radio-logical risk and radiation protection measures have been proposed. The results show that the rock phos-phate has a high specific activity of the 226Rn, 210Po and 210Pb in secular equilibrium (1500-2000 Bq • kg-1) but the outputs of the process will distort the secu-lar equilibrium. The only shortfall is the flow balance of 226Ra, which accumulates in the process. The dis-tribution of the dose in the plant concentrates on the area of reactor tanks and slop pipes as regards exter-nal irradiation dose and the grinding zone, the area of packaging and loading area so respects dose inhaled. We propose a signaling areas, cleaning and replace-ment of old equipment in the facilities and radiological safety of the maintenance staff.

L’aplicació de tecnologies innovadores per a l’anàlisi de la qualitat (proteòmica) i per al processat de productes carnis (envasament actiu i altes pressions hidrostàtiques) amb la finalitat d’optimitzar la qualitat i la seguretat de productes carnis llestos per al consum fou evaluat. Els resultats obtinguts amb l’anàlisi proteòmic van permetre la detecció de pèptids/ proteïnes candidats a marcadors proteics de la qualitat dels lloms i dels pernils. La detecció d’aquests marcadors a la matèria primera (llom i pernil fresc) ajudaria a predir la qualitat final dels productes carnis processats (llom cuit i pernil curat), i proporcionaria una eina per al control de la qualitat de la carn de porc. No obstant, la validació del paper d’aquestes proteïnes a la qualitat final dels productes carnis és necessària abans de poder-los considerar marcadors proteics. Per altra banda, es va estudiar la possiblitat de millorar la seguretat alimentària de llonganissa sense sal afegida obtinguda amb el procés QDS® process a través l’ús de tecnologies innovadores (envasament actiu i altes pressions hidrostàtiques). La llonganissa sense sal afegida no va permetre el creixement de L. monocytogenes. No obstant, el patogen seria capaç de sobreviure durant la vida útil del producte en cas de recontaminació. L’envasament antimicrobià amb la inclusió de nisina com a antimicrobià natural es pot considerar un mètode efectiu per a millorar la seguretat de la llonganissa estudiada. L. monocytogenes va sobreviure al tractament d’alta pressió hidrostàtica (600 MPa, 5 min, 12ºC) gràcies a les característiques del producte de baixa activitat d’aigua i presència de lactat a la seva formulació. Per aquest motiu, la APH no es consideraria un tractament apropiat per a reduir la presència de L. monocytogenes en aquest tipus de producte.

Injectable drugs are high-risk products and their reconstitution in hospital wards is a potential source of errors. Thus, in order to secure the reconstitution process and thereby improve safety, the pharmacy department of Lausanne University Hospital is focusing on developing ready-to-use forms (CIVAS). These preparations are compounded in controlled clean rooms and are analyzed prior to release. In the intensive care unit, amiodarone 12.5 mg/mL in glucose 5% is one of the high-risk preparations, which has led the pharmacy to develop a ready-to-use solution. To this end, a one-year stability study was initiated, and the preliminary results (after six months) are illustrated here. A stability-indicating HPLC method was developed and validated for monitoring the concentration of amiodarone. Batches were stored at 5 °C and 30 °C, which were analyzed immediately after preparation, after one, two, four and six months of storage. The pH and osmolality values were monitored at the respective time intervals. It was observed that after six months, all the results were within specifications. However, the pH values started to decrease after two months when amiodarone was stored at 30 °C. After six months, a degradation peak appeared on the chromatogram of these solutions, which suggested that amiodarone is more stable at 5 °C. The preliminary results obtained in this study indicated that injectable amiodarone solutions are stable for six months under refrigerated storage conditions. The study is ongoing.

The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) isa global and comprehensive legal framework for reducing demand for tobacco (e.g. price measures; ban on smoking in enclosed places; contents of tobacco products; packaging and labeling; advertising, promotion and sponsorship; liability, tobacco cessation, etc.) and supply (e.g. illicit trade; sales to/by minors, etc.). Adopted in 2003, the FCTC has been ratified by 174 countries so far. Switzerland has signed the treaty in 2004 but ratification will necessitate the implementation of stronger tobacco control measures at the national level. The FCTC is a priority of any strategy to reduce noncommunicable diseases in populations. Broad implementation of the FCTC has the potential to prevent a substantial proportion of the billion of tobacco-related deaths expected in the 21st

Resistance of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to antiretroviral agents results from target gene mutation within the pol gene, which encodes the viral protease, reverse transcriptase (RT), and integrase. We speculated that mutations in genes other that the drug target could lead to drug resistance. For this purpose, the p1-p6(gag)-p6(pol) region of HIV-1, placed immediately upstream of pol, was analyzed. This region has the potential to alter Pol through frameshift regulation (p1), through improved packaging of viral enzymes (p6(Gag)), or by changes in activation of the viral protease (p6(Pol)). Duplication of the proline-rich p6(Gag) PTAP motif, necessary for late viral cycle activities, was identified in plasma virus from 47 of 222 (21.2%) patients treated with nucleoside analog RT inhibitor (NRTI) antiretroviral therapy but was identified very rarely from drug-naïve individuals. Molecular clones carrying a 3-amino-acid duplication, APPAPP (transframe duplication SPTSPT in p6(Pol)), displayed a delay in protein maturation; however, they packaged a 34% excess of RT and exhibited a marked competitive growth advantage in the presence of NRTIs. This phenotype is reminiscent of the inoculum effect described in bacteriology, where a larger input, or a greater infectivity of an organism with a wild-type antimicrobial target, leads to escape from drug pressure and a higher MIC in vitro. Though the mechanism by which the PTAP region participates in viral maturation is not known, duplication of this proline-rich motif could improve assembly and packaging at membrane locations, resulting in the observed phenotype of increased infectivity and drug resistance.

Des de fa alguns anys les tecnologies educatives han anat evolucionant y revolucionant el món pedagògic. En aquest sentit, son molts els grups de treball que participen en la investigació i producció de nous estàndards educatius. Alguns d’aquests estàndards son IMS Learning Designi IMS Content Packaging. L’adopció d’aquests estàndards per part de la comunitat educativa depèn en gran mesura de l’accessibilitat a les eines de producció per part dels membres d’aquesta comunitat. En aquest projecte es fa patent la necessitat d’una aplicació que permeti la generació d’unitats d’aprenentatge de forma assistida mitjançant plantilles.D’altre banda, ELGG és un sistema gestor de continguts open-source que permet crear xarxes socials de forma senzilla i amb la possibilitat d’afegir nous mòduls per augmentar així la seva funcionalitat. Per aquest motiu, aquest projecte es basa en la plataforma col·laborativa de recolzament als professors LdShake, utilitzada per la Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), quetreballa sobre el Framework de ELGG.Sobre aquests dos conceptes descansa la idea general del projecte – a saber, el disseny iposterior desenvolupament d’un sistema de generació d’unitats d’aprenentatge basat enplantilles seguint els estàndards IMS LD i IMS CP sobre LdShake.Per tant, en aquest projecte ens hem centrat en el desenvolupament i avaluació preliminar d’un mòdul integrat en LdShake, centrat en el subconjunt necessari de característiques bàsiques dels estàndards de la IMS Global Consortium, que ens permet la generació d’unitats d’aprenentatge, així com la seva distribució i reproducció en sistemes de gestió d’aprenentatge o LMS, gràcies al’ús de plantilles que son en si mateixes una solució coneguda, provada i exitosa.
