    Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2000
    Co-Authors: J. Borys, B. Kowalczyk, J. Waszak
    Abstract:

    Testing for (DUS) in tomato varieties is a Statutory Requirement before varieties can be entered into the Register of Cultivars (National List) and/or granting of Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR). The procedure and methods used for DUS testing of tomato varieties are outlined. In Poland all activities connected with plant variety testing and the maintaince of the Register of Cultivars and the Register of Plant Breeders’ Rights are provided by the Research Centre for Cultivar Testing (COBORU).

  • An evaluation of completeness of tuberculosis notification in the United Kingdom
    BMC Public Health, 2003
    Co-Authors: Jayshree Pillaye, Aileen Clarke
    Abstract:

    Background There has been a resurgence of tuberculosis worldwide, mainly in developing countries but also affecting the United Kingdom (UK), and other Western countries. The control of tuberculosis is dependent on early identification of cases and timely notification to public health departments to ensure appropriate treatment of cases and screening of contacts. Tuberculosis is compulsorily notifiable in the UK, and the doctor making or suspecting the diagnosis is legally responsible for notification. There is evidence of under-reporting of tuberculosis. This has implications for the control of tuberculosis as a disproportionate number of people who become infected are the most vulnerable in society, and are less likely to be identified and notified to the public health system. These include the poor, the homeless, refugees and ethnic minorities. Method This study was a critical literature review on completeness of tuberculosis notification within the UK National Health Service (NHS) context. The review also identified data sources associated with reporting completeness and assessed whether studies corrected for undercount using capture-recapture (CR) methodology. Studies were included if they assessed completeness of tuberculosis notification quantitatively. The outcome measure used was notification completeness expressed between 0% and 100% of a defined denominator, or in numbers not notified where the denominator was unknown. Results Seven studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified through electronic and manual search of published and unpublished literature. One study used CR methodology. Analysis of the seven studies showed that undernotification varied from 7% to 27% in studies that had a denominator; and 38%–49% extra cases were identified in studies which examined specific data sources like pathology reports or prescriptions for anti-tuberculosis drugs. Cases notified were more likely to have positive microbiology than cases not notified which were more likely to have positive histopathology or be surgical in-patients. Collation of prescription data of two or more anti-tuberculosis drugs increases case ascertainment of tuberculosis. Conclusion The reporting of tuberculosis is incomplete in the UK, although notification is a Statutory Requirement. Undernotification leads to an underestimation of the disease burden and hinders implementation of appropriate prevention and control strategies. The notification system needs to be strengthened to include education and training of all sub-specialities involved in diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis.

  • Step-Parent Adoption Gone Wrong: GT v CT [2015] 3 ALL SA 631 (GJ)
    'Academy of Science of South Africa', 2017
    Co-Authors: Skosana Themba, Ferreira Sandra
    Abstract:

    Step-parent adoption happens where a child is adopted by the spouse or civil union partner of a biological parent. This is a drastic invasion into the life of a child because (except if provided for otherwise) an adoption order terminates all parental responsibilities and rights any person had in respect of a child immediately before the adoption, and confers full parental responsibilities and rights in respect of the adopted child upon the adoptive parent. Under specific circumstances an adoption order may also be rescinded, again disrupting the life of the child dramatically. Because of the immense impact on a child, rescission of an adoption order has to be handled with kid gloves. In Turner v Turner two children had been legally adopted by their step-father while the Child Care Act was in operation. After the implementation of the Children’s Act, however, he applied for these adoption orders to be rescinded. The court was faced with a situation where the application had been brought in contravention of the maximum two-year-period as prescribed by the Children’s Act. Although it was argued that non-compliance with this Statutory Requirement prevented the court from adjudicating this matter, Mokgoatlheng J focused on the best interests of the child, considered the legality of the adoption orders (why?), and ultimately concluded that the supremacy of the best interests of the child meant that he was not precluded from hearing the application. In the end he ordered rescission of the adoption orders. The judgment cannot be supported.
