A non-invasive technique is implemented to measure a parameter which is closely related to the distensibility of large arteries, using the second derivative of the infrared photoplethysmographic waveform. Thirty subjects within the age group of 20-61 years were involved in this pilot study. Two new parameters, namely the area of the photoplethysmographic waveform under the systolic peak, and the ratio of the time delay between the systolic and the diastolic peaks and the time period of the waveform ( T/T) were studied as a function of age. It was found that while the parameter which is supposed to be a marker of distensibility of large arteries and T /T values correlate negatively with age, the area under the systolic peak correlates positively with age. The results suggest that the derived parameters could provide a simple, non-invasive means for studying the changes in the elastic properties of the vascular system as a function of age.

The potential benefit of indigenous chicken (Gallus domesticus) production is still under-exploited in Kenya despite the efforts by different stakeholders to mainstream this production system as a pathway to rural development. The production system is often characterized by low input-low output productivity and low commercialization of the enterprise. This study which dwells on the current management practices and challenges faced by smallholder indigenous chicken farmers was conducted to gain insights into the underlying causes of production constraints. In Western Kenya women (76%) dominate the indigenous chicken production system. The flock composition consists mainly of chicks, hens and pullets (80%) which reflects their retention for production purposes. Less than half of the farmers access institutional support services such as extension, training, credit and veterinary services. In addition, indigenous chicken is largely reared in a low input-low output free-range system with only few farmers (24.2%) adopting management interventions as disseminated by extension service. To improve production and attain increased productivity, policy should focus on repackaging extension messages that considers farmers economic situations and strengthens collective action initiatives. Accessing joint input purchase and collective marketing of chicken products may further assist the farmers to increase profit margins.

Con esta guía, la Secretaría de Relaciones con la Unión Europea da continuidad a su labor de divulgación y acercamiento de las instituciones europeas al ciudadano en general. Dedica un apartado a las organizaciones interregionales de ámbito europeo en las que participa la Región de Murcia: Comité de las Regiones de la Comunidad Europea, Congresos de Poderes Locales y Regionales del Consejo de Europa, así como un apartado específico para explicar los objetivos y las iniciativas comunitarias. Además, incluye una amplia información sobre aquellas publicaciones oficiales básicas para poder seguir la actualidad de la actividad comunitaria. Como anexos incorpora un diccionario para andar por Bruselas, la composición y estructura actual de la Comisión Europea y la composición del Parlamento Europeo.
