THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA MINISTRY OF TRADE, INDUSTRY AND COOPERATIVES National Competition and Consumer Protection Policy Regulated Competition for Efficiency and Enhanced Consumer Welfare Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Government maintains a liberal trade policy; and commits to creating opportunities for equal participation in trade, providing an enabling environment for private sector growth, competitiveness and development. One of the key policy actions Government undertakes to implement in the course of implementing the National Trade Policy is to "formulate and implement specific sectoral policies necessary for promoting efficiency, competitiveness and consumer welfare in a liberal environment. Government is cognizant of the benefits of economic growth and development emanating from the liberalization policy; hence the need to have such benefits distributed to producers and consumers by ensuring a market that is free of distortions, uncompetitive practices and consumer exploitation. It is in this context that the National Competition and Consumer Protection Policy has been developed. The National Competition and Consumer Protection Policy is cognizant of the country's Vision 2040, National Development Plan, National Trade Policy, and other sectoral policies and strategies aimed at increasing incomes, creating wealth and ensuring sustainable development. Furthermore, the Policy commits government to implement obligations and commitments at the EAC, COMESA and WTO on consumer protection and competition Fair competition stimulates innovation, productivity, creates possibilities for Micro small and medium sized enterprises to flourish, eliminates market barriers and hence increases a country's competitiveness and attraction to investment. Consumer protection on the other hand, fosters consumer's welfare through protection of their rights and guarding them against exploitation.
Anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation patients with chronic kidney diseaseRobert G. Hart, John W. Eikelboom, Alistair J. Ingram and Charles A. Herzog Abstract Atrial fibrillation is an important cause of preventable, disabling stroke and is particularly frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Stage 3 CKD is an independent risk factor for stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Warfarin anticoagulation is efficacious for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients with stage 3 CKD, but recent observational studies have challenged its value for patients with end-stage renal disease and atrial fibrillation. Novel oral anticoagulants such as dabigatran, apixaban and rivaroxaban are at least as efficacious as warfarin with reduced risks of intracranial haemorrhage. However, all these agents undergo renal clearance to varying degrees, and hence dosing, efficacy, and safety require special consideration in patients with CKD. Overall, the novel oral anticoagulants have performed well in randomized trials of patients with stage 3 CKD, with similar efficacy and safety profiles as for patients without CKD, albeit requiring dosing modifications. The required period of discontinuation of novel oral anticoagulants before elective surgery is longer for patients with CKD owing to their reduced renal clearance. Although much remains to be learned about the optimal use of these new agents in patients with CKD, they are attractive anticoagulation options that are likely to replace warfarin in coming years.

While the battery manufacturers strive to develop more compact and powerful battery packs for EVDs, thermal management continues to be a major challenge because temper-ature is critical to battery performance, life, and safety. Numerous high profile accidents in recent years have exemplified this challenge.
Viagra Falls: Older Men Just Aren't That into Erection Drugs By Michael Castleman [email protected] © Michael Castleman. Reprinted with permission. In March 1998 when Viagra was first approved, Maryland anesthesiologist Ken Haslam, M.D. (Cal B.S. 1956) was 64, single, and dating. "I was meeting lots of women. It was exciting. And for me, new relationships lead to great sex. I heard about Viagra, of course. But with all the excitement in my life, I didn‟t need any erection help, so I didn‟t try it." A few years later, however, Haslam became concerned about his erections. Sexual thoughts no longer caused a stirring between his legs. Raising an erection took effort, vigorous manual or oral stimulation. His erections were not as firm as they‟d once been. And minor distractions wilted them. As a doctor, he recognized mild erectile dysfunction (ED), normal for men over 60, but still annoying. "So I tried Viagra, 50 mg. It worked. It worked well." Today, at 75, Haslam still leads an active sex life, and he still uses Viagra—but for only about 10 percent of his lovemaking. "There‟s more to sex than an erection," he explains. "Erection is not the goal. Shared intimacy is, a close, loving relationship. I‟ve had wonderful sex and great orgasms without an erection. Occasionally it‟s fun to use Viagra. But most of the time, I don‟t even think about it." Viagra-Vation Haslam‟s reaction is not what the experts predicted a decade ago when Viagra became the most successful new-drug launch in pharmaceutical history. Pundits proclaimed that older men would embrace the little blue pill the way type 1 diabetics use insulin, as an indispensable part of daily life. Analysts forecast sales of $4.5 billion a year or more as the male population aged, and as advertising wars among what eventually became the three brands—Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis (both approved in 2003)—heated up and continually reminded men and couples about the medications. Social commentators even coined a new word, "viagra-vation," to describe the distress women felt when partners using Viagra pressed for more frequent sex, or when men with newly restored erections suddenly became interested in philandering. However, through 2005, sales of erection medications reached only about half of the predictions, just $2.5 billion annually. That‟s still a great deal of money, but older men did not flock to the drugs in anywhere near the numbers the experts anticipated. During the first two months after Viagra‟s approval, U.S. doctors wrote 275,000 prescriptions. But seven months later, only one-third of those men—fewer than 100,000—had obtained refills. According to Pfizer, maker of Viagra, as many as half of men over 40 experience some ED, but only about 15 percent of them have even tried erection drugs, let alone become regular users. Recent research makes the Pfizer estimate look optimistic. In 2007, German researchers surveyed 3,124 older men. Forty percent of them had some form of ED. Of that group, 96 percent could name an erection drug, but only 9 percent had used one. And last year [2008], researchers at Cornell‟s medical school surveyed 6,291 men in 27 countries. Almost half—48 percent—reported some ED. How many had tried an erection drug? A mere 7 percent. Only One Thing on Their Minds? In other words, the vast majority of men who might benefit from erection medications don‟t try them, or try them and then stop. This flies in the face of a key cultural assumption about men and sex—that men are perpetually horny, and therefore, obsessed with erection. Who hasn‟t heard: "Men have only one thing on their minds." "Men have two heads—and the little one does the thinking." "Women have sex to gain relationships. Men have relationships to gain sex." Now this stereotype contains more than a germ of truth. Most men think about sex a great deal. According to the Kinsey Institute at the University of Indiana, the average male teen has a sexual thought once every five minutes, while the typical man over 40 has one about every half hour. But if that‟s true why don‟t more older men try the drugs? And continue to use them?

Marketing Strategy tiasnimbas business school nyenrode business universiteit C H A P T E R 2 You don't win silver.You lose gold.Nike1 DEFINING THE BUSINESS To assess where and how companies compete in the present day, the marketer must analyse the internal and external environments of the company. The most important of these analyses revolve around the customer; the customer value proposition; the business model; and the industry and macro environments in which the company competes. Following Abell (1980), we agree that defining the business is the true start-ing point of strategic market planning.2 In Abell's perspective, a business is defined in terms of three different dimensions: the customer groups a business unit serves; the functions its offering fulfills for these customer groups; and the technologies that are deployed to realise these functions. Abell argues:

While at first these investigations centered on neurocardiogenic syncope, a subgroupof patients was identified who suffered from a similar, yet distinct, disorder manifested by postural tachycardia andexercise intolerance. This disorder is now referred to as the postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) andencompasses a heterogenous group of disorders that share similar clinical characteristics.[1] The aim of this briefreport is to outline the clinical picture, subtypes, diagnosis, and management of POTS.

Ginecology with ultrasound (3d) & color dopller, Mamography, Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Ortopedy CASE STUDY OF (DERMATITIS ATOPICA) TREATED WITH NEW DIETETIC PRODUCT MEGAMIN ACTIV (TMA-Z) (Preliminary results) INTRODUCTION Latin names of dermatitis atopica (AD in further text), like eczema infantum, neurodermitis, pruridermatitis allergica chronica constitutionalis Kogoj, are used. Disease with dominant recidival chronical inflamation of the skin starts usually very early, after delivery and continues in a childhood. It is usually joined with other allergic disease of child or hereditary present in a family. Neurodermitis appears in 95% of cases beore 4.th year, with first manifestations between 1-4th month of life. Clinical manifestation starts with a tiny eflorescencia like eryitema and red papulas with a strong impact of pruritus and discomfort, which leads to scratching with ecscoriation and bleeding of the skin. Tipical locations are on face, around the ears, back of head, occipital, pelvic region, extremitas (knees and elbows especially extensiors side. In some havy cases, proces can be spread over the all body. Vet manifestations on skin like vesikulas and pustulas and later appearance of crusts lead to secondary infection (bacterial, viral, rarely fungal). Manifestations on the skin show chronical progresion, lihenificated papulas mainly localised on joints, pelvic region, on neck, or diseminated. Pruritus often makes situation worse with traumatic bleeding and erosions of the skin which havilly disturb a good mud and sleeping. When signs of respiration alergy (asthma) occure, the situation becomes worse and worse. Later in adolescent faze and after, neurodermitis is present in latent form or more often recidival manifestations occure. Tipical locations of recidival dermatitis are present on flexuras or in front of lower leg or nuchal few lichenificated centers. Skin lesions can be located only on eyebrows and that could be the only clinic sign of the disease. PATOGENESIS It is not yet comletelly explained. There are few hypotesis which are trying to describe the causes of this illness. Today, one theory is mostly accepted: *allergic-immune mechanism which explains the disturbance in production of antibody (IgE, IgG4, IgA) and cell immunity. Importance of feeding in postnatal period is today of great interest in therapy, because some of the nutritive agents are considered as a 'strong alergens' like proteins of a natural milk and eggs, in relationship with the skin manifestations. Varios conservans and aditives, perorally taken drugs, inhalatory alergens are now the often subject of investigation. *Transepidermal way is also described but can not always be explained as a cause of neurodermitis because the IgE antibody can not be approved in 20-40% of cases (Buscino and all). *The other hipotesis like this which includes abnormality of beta-adrenergic receptors can not explain complete patogenesis of disease. Important role in patogenesis, which is accepted today, plays the function of Langerhans cells, which is the important factor in immune system. This cells, are members of macrofag-monocites, have the role in intracelular way of superficial antigens. Pancreatic cells carry CD1 i CD4 antigens and also Fc receptors for IgE and C3b. Beside this cells, like in a different allergic reactions, mastocites in skin release histamin which leads to eritema and pruritus (Ruzicka and all, 1983.) But, manifestations of neurodermitis can not

General When working in the field, investigators should follow the Declining Amphibian Population Task Force (DAPTF) Fieldwork Code of Practice (http://www.mpm.edu/ collect/vertzo/herp/Daptf/fcode_e.html) to reduce the risk of spreading diseases among study sites. Additionally, the guidelines of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (ASIH) should be consulted. Their recommendations acknowledge that the investigator will often be an authority on the biology of the species under study, and provide advice on techniques that are known to be humane and effective in the conduct of field research (ASIH et al., 1987 [http://www.asih.org/pubs/herpcoll.html]). 2.

"Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries: Not All Charging Systems Are Created Equal" By Scott Dearborn Principal Applications Engineer Microchip Technology Inc. 2355 West Chandler Blvd Chandler, AZ 85224 INTRODUCTION Powering today's portable world poses many challenges for system designers. The use of batteries as a prime power source is on the rise. As a result, a burden has been placed on the system designer to create sophisticated systems utilizing the battery's full potential. Each application is unique, but one common theme rings through: maximize battery capacity usage. This theme directly relates to how energy is properly restored to rechargeable batteries. No single method is ideal for all applications. An understanding of the charging characteristics of the battery and the application's requirements is essential in order to design an appropriate and reliable battery charging system. Each method has its associated advantages and disadvantages. It is the particular application with its individual requirements that determines which method will be the best to use. Far too often, the charging system is given low priority, especially in cost-sensitive applications. The quality of the charging system, however, plays a key role in the life and reliability of the battery. In this article, the fundamentals of charging Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are explored. In particular, linear charging solutions and a microcontroller-based, switch-mode solution shall be explored. Microchip's MCP73843 and MCP73861 linear charge management controllers and PIC16F684 microcontroller along with a MCP1630 pulse width modulator (PWM), shall be used as examples. LI-ION CHARGING The rate of charge or discharge is often expressed in relation to the capacity of the battery. This rate is known as the C-Rate. The C-Rate equates to a charge or discharge current and is defined as:
Alcohol Use After Traumatic Alcohol use and TBI are closely related. Up to two-thirds of people with TBI have a history of alcohol abuse or risky drinking. Between 30-50% of people with TBI were injured while they were drunk and about one-third were under the influence of other drugs. Around half of those who have a TBI cut For more information down on their drinking or stop altogether after injury, but some people with
Diagnosis and Management of Hypothermia in Neurosurgical Patients By Avery Jackson, MD Dear Colleagues: I came across an article that I wanted to share with you that was put together by Powers and Friedman out of Duke University Department of Neurosurgery regarding hyponatremia. It is in Contemporary Neurosurgery. I found it to be extremely helpful in the management of hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is a common complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain tumors and cerebral infections. Hormonal factor such as Natriuretic Peptides and Antidiuretic Hormone play important roles in hyponatremia and neurosurgical patients. It is important to differentiate between cerebral salt-wasting (CSW) and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH).
What is zopiclone?Zopiclone is a drug with very similar effects to benzodiazepines (like diazepam, temazepam). It is pre-scribed by doctors for the treatment of insomnia (difficulty sleeping), and in the recommended dose brings on sleep for periods of 6 to 8 hours. However, this leaflet is about the use of zopiclone as a ‘street drug' and the risks and likely problems this may cause for drug users.

TU Ilmenau FG Lichttechnik Prof. Dr. sc. nat. Christoph Schierz Dr.-Ing. Cornelia Vandahl Biological effects of light – Literature overview 1 Introduction It has been known for considerable time that light does not only serve for obtaining visual information but also has great influence on bodily functions. Many new aspects have been established in recent years. The non-visual information is received via light that falls onto our eyes and is conveyed via a nerve connection (retinohypothalamic tract RHT) to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The SCN is the central circadian Zeitgeber for the day-night rhythm, for the control of the body temperature and many other functions. Figure 1 shows the schematic coherence. The non-visual system has its own receptors located in the retina. They are light sensitive ganglion cells containing the photo pigment melanopsin [10], [25). They are called "intrin-sically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells" (ipRGC). There number is about 1-3% of all retinal ganglion cells. They also function as ganglion cells of the visual system at the same time and therefore also receive signals from the rods and cones. In case of a failure of the visual system they can continue to function independently [40]. The effect of light on the biological rhythm depends on the intensity of light, the duration of exposure, the time regime, and the time of day, the spectral composition and the spatial distribution of light. Effects have been verified even for low illuminance levels. Rea [47] has demonstrated effects at 18 lx (blue LEDs). Zeitzer [61] has established effects at 106 lx with polychromatic light from fluorescent lamps (4000K) and Smith [56] at 200 lx.

DIFFERENTIATING FOR LOYALTY Tallinn Technical University In the globalizing world, where boundaries are blurring, where goods and services are becoming more and more alike with the passage of time, where markets are saturated with increasing number of sellers chasing the same customers, and where having distinctive functional benefits is therefore no longer enough to retain customers over long period of time as such benefits can be easily imitated, maintaining the company's growth and sustainability through unique value offering to its customers has become more topical than ever before. It has become even more desirable than the thick wallet or high market share – for the very same reason, that often the bigger chunk of consumers a company holds, the more vulnerable it becomes if it cannot offer its customers a unique differentiated value. For instance, take Microsoft, over 90% of the value of which lies in its consumers, being totally out of control of the software producer, or Bayer, the pharmaceutical giant, who suffers considerable losses every time its patented drug goes off protection. The risk of losses is enormous, but at the same time, both lock in their customers by different means of involving them with the company as doing so should lower the unnecessarily high customer risk – while Microsoft allows its business partners and Business-to-Business (B2B) customers to benefit from the open standard, which Microsoft itself has set on the market many years ago, Bayer enjoys higher profits from its Aspirin®, the same acetylsalicylic acid others cannot squeeze so high margins out of. Controversially, Apple, Unix, Linux and many others are struggling altogether with much smaller shares than Microsoft alone, and Glaxo SmithKline, Merck and Johnson&Johnson together with a whole lot of producers can only dream about the status Aspirin® has held in the minds of consumers for centuries. Both, Microsoft and Bayer, have managed to differentiate themselves from others and create the sustainable competitive advantage to a large extent based on this differentiation. The main goal of this article is to analyze the retention of customers by differentiating the value offering from company's competitors' and to show the links between loyalty and other emotional and behavioral categories and reactions of consumer behavior as well as the outcomes of these reactions in form of profitability of the company to analyze the links between these factors based on research of different authors and most suitable ground laying theoretical material. This goal will be achieved by combining together several disciplines such as marketing, psychology, economics and several others to increase the validity of the viewpoints suggested in the article and give it more diverse and multidisciplinary background as well as broader basis for analysis.
