The birth prevalence of congenital CMV was high despite prenatal ARV prophylaxis, and was associated with advanced maternal immunosuppression.

POx screening was supported and accepted by staff and parents. If there are no nursing staff shortages and if it is done routinely before discharge, not as part of a study, we conclude that POx screening could be implemented successfully without excessive false positives or errors, or any additional burden to cardiology services.

The new South African Wastewater Sludge Guideline Series will replace the document entitled: "Permissible Utilisation and Disposal of Sewage Sludge, Edition 1, 1997" which deals with application of sewage sludge to land. The new guideline series will be published as 5 volumes: Volume 1: Management Options for the Use or Disposal of Wastewater Sludge, Volume 2: Requirements for the agricultural use of wastewater sludge, Volume 3: Requirements for the on site and off-site disposal of wastewater sludge, Volume 4: Requirements for the use of wastewater sludge in the production of commercial products, Volume 5: Requirements for the incineration of wastewater sludge, We envisage that Volumes 1 and 2 will be published at the time of the conference and that work has begun on Volume 3, 4 and 5. The paper aims to communicate the major differences between the previous sludge guidelines and these new sludge guideline series. For example, the paper details the new wastewater sludge classification system and the requirements for the characterisation of the sludge for classification purposes. The paper will also explain the approach followed in the development of Volume 1 and 2 and will elaborate on the proposed approach for Volumes 3, 4 and 5.

Data on various aspects regarding the use of Organisational Development techniques (OD-techniques) in 73 largeGedragswetenskaplike kennis het gedurende die afgelope drie dekades vinnig toegeneem. Een van die sub-terreine van die gedragswetenskappe waarop veral aktief gewerk is, is dié van organisasie-ontwikkeling (OO) wat in die algemeen beskryf word as die toepassing van gedragwetenskaplike kennis in organisasies ten einde sekere veranderinge in organisasies te weeg te bring. Die toepassing van OO-tegnieke het die maksimering van individuele doeltreffenheid en bevrediging, en van organisasie-effektiwiteit, ten doel. Daar bestaan egter heelwat probleme in verband met die toepassing van OO-tegnieke. Die doeltreffendheid en uitwerking van die tegnieke is veral onder verdenking terwyl daar heelwat leemtes inherent aan en in die toepassing van die tegnieke blyk te wees. Hierdie probleme word in die artikel toegelig nadat die konsep organisasie-ontwikkeling gedefinieer is. Die resultate van 'n ondersoek na die gebruik van OO-tegnieke in van die grootste organisasies in Suid-Afrika word teen bogenoemde agtergrond weergegee en bespreek.
