1. RESUMEN: La presente investigación estudia la influencia del retorno de una familia kafala a un centro de acogida, en el autoconcepto del adolescente en la ciudad de Trípoli (Libia).Los sujetos han sido 105 adolescentes de12 a 21 años de ambos sexos (mujeres 49,7 y hambres 53,3) repartidos en tres grupos (sujetos retornados de familia kafala, sujetos que viven en centros de acogida y sujetos que viven con sus familias biológicas. El instrumento empleado ha sido la escala de autoconcepto de los niños y adolescentes de Piers y Harris (1964-1969). Para analizar los datos se utilizo el análisis de varianza (ANOVA) de un factor, la prueba de F de Fisher, prueba de Scheffe, prueba de T Student. Los resultados señalan que existen diferencias significativas entre grupos: los sujetos que viven con sus familias biológicas obtienen mejores puntuaciones en el de autoconcepto global y en las distintas subescalas; además, los chicos muestran mejor autoconcepto que las chicas: se concluye que el contexto familiar y cultural ejerce gran influencia en la adquisición del autoconcepto y la autoestima. arabic 20 English 97

In most cases dietary supplements especially in Libya are consumed without prescriptions and the public has very limited any awareness of their health risk. The lack of quality control on numerous brands of dietary supplements in pharmacies of Libya today may result in a serious health problem. The aim of this study is to determine the iron content using a fast and accurate method for quality control of some imported dietary supplements, based on spectrophotometric measurement of iron after complexation with 1, 10-phenanthroline in an acidic medium. Eight types of vitamin supplementary tablets were randomly collected from the Libyan market and analyzed for the iron content. The analysis showed an average value of 61mg Fe/pill for the range of 40.07-112.63 mg Fe/pill. Results showed that 75% of the samples were lower in iron content than that recorded on the dietary products.

This study was primarily conducted to investigate the prevalence of imported malaria in a sample of foreign workers (n-1038) in Tripoli during the period from May 2006 to June 2007. A comprehensive review of malaria epidemiology in Libya in the last two decades was also given. All samples were tested serologically using Malaria Rapid Diagnostic test and then examined using blood film technique. Results showed that only 10 samples (1%) were tested positive for both malaria rapid diagnostic test and blood film. Nine of those infected were identified as Plasmodium falciparum and one as Plasmodium vivax. This study confirms that the prevalence of malaria in legal foreign workers is low and the risk of re-introducing or transmitting malaria in the northern areas of the country is remote. It also gives no good reason for including malaria test among those requested for issuing health certificates to foreign workers. The use of malaria Rapid Diagnostic test for malaria detection in this study was proved to be practical and reliable. Although, the situation of imported malaria in Libya imposes no immediate threat to re-emerging of malaria in the country however, continuous surveillance and monitoring particularly to the southern regions and populations have to be taken in a great consideration. An updated new map of malaria vectors distribution in Libya is urgently needed to be able to outline areas of high risk of malaria transmission.
