Introduction International guidelines endorse the screening of patients for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Chlamydia trachomatis before assisted reproductive techniques (ART). At present no such guidelines exists in South Africa. At the Reproductive and Endocrine Unit (referred to as “the Unit”) of Steve Biko Academic Hospital, all patients with unknown HIV status are counselled and a blood sample is collected during the initial visit for automated laboratory based HIV screening. These HIV results are not available before semen samples are processed. Furthermore, patients are not screened for HBV, HCV and Chlamydia trachomatis. Couples attending the Unit are of a low to middle socio-economic status and experience financial constraints. Moreover, automated laboratory based assays are expensive to perform. Rapid testing is a cost effective and practical method from screening patients, with a 20–30 minute result turnover time. Until screening at the Unit is improved, the possible identification of semen characteristics that could indicate HIV infection would be a useful tool. Materials and Methods The following rapid point-of-care assays were evaluated: Determine® HIV-1/2 combo test (n=100), Determine® HBsAg test (n=100), DIAQUICK HCV kit (n=74), and the DIAQUICK Chlamydia trachomatis kit (n=30). For profiling, parameters from a basic semen analysis of HIV-positive males (n=60) were compared with HIV-negative males (n=60). Information pertaining to CD4 count, antiretroviral treatment and plasma viral load of HIV-positive males were analysed. Results From all patients included in the study, 8% tested positive for HIV. The risk of a female being HIV-positive was 3.73 times higher than for males. In the pilot study to explore rapid testing for HBV and HCV, 1% and 1.4% of patients tested positive respectively. When testing for Chlamydia trachomatis 31.3% of females, but no males tested positive. Comparing semen profiles, no significant differences were found between samples from HIV positive and negative males or between HIV positive males categorised by CD4 cell count (p>0.05). For the HIV-positive group with a detectable plasma HIV viral load (>40 copies/ml), a significant difference was observed in the semen viscosity (p=0.0460). Significant differences were noted in the sperm motility (immotile sperm p=0.0456, progressive sperm p=0.0192) of patients receiving antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. Discussion and Conclusion The use of rapid testing is an acceptable and feasible option for improving current screening protocols at the Unit. The absence of definite alterations in the semen characteristics of HIV-positive men further motivates the need for a simpler, point-of-care screening protocol. The prevalence of HBV was lower than that reported in the general population of South Africa and further investigation is needed. Although the sample size was small, HCV prevalence was similar to that of the general population. One third of females tested positive for Chlamydia trachomatis. The methodology used was possibly not appropriate for males. This study highlighted the need for guidelines that address the specialised needs of ART clinics in resource-limited and developing countries with a high HIV prevalence. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Obstetrics and Gynaecology / unrestricted

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der These nachgegangen, dass sich Baugemeinschaften als Wohnform, die von der Gemeinschaft und dem Zusammenleben geprägt ist, im Hinblick auf den demographischen Wandel und dessen Auswirkungen sich zum lebenslangen Bewohnen eignet. Untersucht wurden die baulichen und architektonischen, aber auch sozialen und organisatorischen Gegebenheiten am Beispiel 13 Dresdner Baugemeinschaften. Am Ende liegen Maßnahmen und Empfehlunen für künftige Bauherren und Planer vor. / The present study traces the hypothesis that joint building ventures as a form of living, that is affected by the community and the cohabit, in view of the demographic change and its effects, are suit to lifelong occupancy. To be proved are the structural and architectural, but also the social and organizational conditions using the example of 13 joint building ventures in Dresden. Finally there are measures and recommendations for future building owners and architects on hand.

1 EINLEITUNG In Deutschland ist Barrierefreiheit im Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz festgeschrieben, indem festgelegt wird, dass Lebensbereiche barrierefrei sind, sofern diese von Menschen mit einer Behinderung ohne besondere Erschwernis und ohne fremde Hilfe nutzbar sind. Dies gilt auch für die Zugänglichkeit von virtuellen Gemeinschaften und neuen Medien, indem bestehende Richtlinien für barrierefreie Webinhalte eingehalten werden sollen.

Att utöva turism- och fritidsaktiviteter är en väsentlig del i många människors liv, men för personer med funktionsnedsättningar (PmF) är genomförandet av sådana aktiviteter långt från lika självklara. Frågan om aktivt deltagande och inkludering av PmF i samhällets alla delar lyfts allt mer och kraven på tillgänglighet ökar. Därav syftar denna studie till att undersöka på vilka sätt turism- och aktivitetsföretag i Jämtlands län arbetar med att anpassa sina aktiviteter för att kunna inkludera individer med fysisk funktionsnedsättning. För att uppnå syftet var en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer studiens huvudsakliga metodologiska verktyg för insamling av empiriska data. Resultatet tyder på att majoriteten av verksamheterna inte erbjuder aktiviteter som är specifikt anpassade för PmF men att en del av utbudet går att kan anpassa om efterfrågan skulle uppstå. Marknadens efterfrågan styr verksamhetens utbud av aktiviteter och en bristande efterfrågan från PmF på tillgängliga aktiviteter har identifierats. Studiens slutsats beskriver att den bristande efterfrågan från PmF ligger till grund för det bristande utbudet av tillgängliga aktiviteter samt att verksamheterna anger resurser såsom kunskap och ekonomiska faktorer som utmanade vid utvecklingen av tillgänglighetsanpassade aktiviteter. / Tourism and leisure activities are an essential part of many people's lives, but for people with disabilities (PwD), their involvement can be highly conditional. The issue of active participation and the inclusion of PwD in all parts of society is increasingly being raised and the need for accessibility is growing. This study aims to investigate how tourism and activity companies in Jämtland County works to adapt and customize their activities to include individuals with physical disabilities. The study had a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews as the key focus for collecting empirical data. The result indicates that the majority of businesses do not currently offer activities that are specifically tailored to PwD, but for most of the companies these activities can be adjusted if there is a demand for it. Market demand controls the companies’ range of activities and a lack of demand from PwD for accessible activities has been identified. The conclusion describes that the absence of demand from PwD is the reason for the lack of accessible activities  and that the companies specify resources such as knowledge and financial factors as challenging for the development of accessible activities. / <p>2020-06-08</p>
