Abstract:

Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation is Guyana’s national referral hospital. Research indicates that one of the main factors affecting the delivery of health care in Guyana is inadequate staff at all levels of the system. This research aimed to assess the health hazard exposure of health care workers at the Accident and Emergency Department. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among fifty doctors, nurses, and technicians.

Abstract:

Air quality is a growing public concern in both developed and developing countries. Over the years, there has been an increase in the number of vehicles on major roadways. Vehicles release particulate matter (PM) into the atmosphere, which adversely affects air quality and, consequently, the health of the population. This study was conducted to measure ambient PM concentrations of size 2.5 microns (PM2.5) along two streets in Georgetown, Guyana; namely Regent Street and Woolford Avenue.

Abstract:

Guyana is a low-middle income country on the northern coast of South America between Venezuela and Suriname. Guyana has relatively high child mortality and a notable gap in health care provision. As of 2011, there were no paediatricians in the public sector where approximately 90% of the population seek care. In response to this unmet need, Guyanese diaspora living in Canada, in partnership with Canadian paediatricians and the main teaching hospital, Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), developed a Master’s program in paediatrics.

Background: In December 2019, there was an outbreak of pneumonia cases in the city of Wuhan, China. The outbreak was first manifested as a cluster of mysterious pneumonia cases mostly related to the Huanan Seafood market in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province. Genomic investigations of the pathogen found that the disease was caused by a new strain of coronaviruses and the disease was given the name “Covid 19”. Pregnant women with Covid-19 may be at greater risk of severe illness although the full impact of the infection in pregnancy is unknown. Amongst the Guyanese population, several pregnan

Abstract:

The main thrust of this study is to investigate whether or not there is a lack of affordable public housing being offered in the Georgetown and East Bank demographics of Region 4 (Demerara-Mahaica) to young Guyanese professionals and if this perceived lack is driving them to rent alternative housing instead. It also investigates this cohort’s willingness to pay the price for which public housing (turnkey) is being offered, and their frame of mind concerning homeownership of public housing.

Abstract There have been several English translations of the Grotius classic On the Law of War and Peace (1625) inspired either by the intellectual impact of his ideas and/or by the perceived relevance of this work to crises in international relations at particular moments in human experience. Of the half dozen or so English versions of this work, none was more targeted to the public at large than the 1925 (1928) translation commissioned, financed, and produced by the Carnegie Foundation in New York and Washington D.

Abstract:

IntroductionAccounts of criminals, their victims, and their pursuers have become entrenched within the sphere of popular culture; most obviously in the genres of true crime and crime fiction.

This, often highly-stylised and regularly humanised protagonist, is now a firm feature of both factual and fictional accounts of crime narratives that, today, regularly focus on the energies of the detective in solving a variety of cases. So familiar is the figure of the detective, it se

This paper argues for an adaptable framework to accommodate diverse cultural and religious perspectives. By using an adaptive ethics model, research protections can reflect various populations and foster growth in stem cell research possibilities.
