Summary
Australia
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Policy
- Alcohol Research
Background:
- Alcohol consumption is a leading cause of disease burden in Australia, ranking third after smoking and obesity.
- Australian governments are revising the National Alcohol Strategy, with finalization planned for 2018.
- The draft strategy includes evidence-based recommendations but lacks accountability measures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide recommendations for the development of Australia's National Alcohol Strategy.
- To address the lack of accountability in the draft strategy.
- To guide the finalization of effective alcohol policy.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of the draft National Alcohol Strategy.
- Review of evidence-based recommendations for alcohol policy.
- Formulation of recommendations for strategy implementation and evaluation.
Main Results:
- The draft strategy requires a robust accountability framework.
- Involvement of the alcohol industry in policy development is cautioned against.
- Recommendations focus on expert advice, pre-specified indicators, phased implementation, and independent evaluation.
Conclusions:
- Health policy should be guided by health experts, not industry.
- A phased approach with clear outcome indicators and independent evaluation is crucial for the National Alcohol Strategy's success.
- Effective alcohol policy requires strong governance and accountability mechanisms.

Nursing organizations assume a significant role in consistently developing the nursing profession through education, research studies, establishing practice standards, and reforming health policies. Typically, nursing organizations operate at the regional, national, and international levels. For example, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) represents more than 28 million nurses worldwide. In contrast, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a membership organization representing nurses...

02:29Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis

Overview
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.

This lesson delves into the concept of protection and deprotection of a functional group fundamental to synthetic organic chemistry. These phenomena are explained in the context of aliphatic and aromatic alcohols.
Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...
