RESUMEN

There has been recent discussion in Australia and New Zealand concerning the utility of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and the role of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) in their development. The College Board therefore established a Steering Group (SG) to oversee an exploration of options and produce recommendations about contemporary approaches to the development of high-quality evidence-based clinical practice guidance for psychiatry. This paper outlines the SG's conclusions and recommendations, as well as the underlying methods and reasoning. In particular, we discuss best practice and recent developments in the synthesis of research evidence. Account has been taken of the opportunities offered by digital technologies, the proliferation of clinical evidence and awareness of the gains to be made by increased inclusion of lived-experience perspectives. It is recommended that the broader concept of best practice resources (BPRs) as now emphasised in so many fields of service is the most appropriate starting point for the College's role in this area especially as the expertise of the College and its fellows lends itself to the development of a range of BPRs. In conclusion, contemporary guidance needs to be tailored to the requirements of the practitioners seeking it, to articulate the real-world needs and experiences of patients, and to be delivered in a contemporary format that is responsive to rapidly emerging evidence. The experience in Australia and New Zealand may have implications elsewhere for the development of CPGs and BPRs more broadly.

RESUMEN

A successful attempt was made to fabricate a thin foil of natural Mo target on a thick Au backing with Indium in between to improve adhesion between the foils. Rolling at elevated temperature was considered to fabricate Mo foil while gold foil was fabricated employing conventional rolling technique. The heating of Mo foil under natural environment lead to the oxidation or carbonization on foil surface which was confirmed through Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) measurements. Indium of thickness ∼86µg/cm2 was evaporated on Mo foil to improve adhesion between Mo and Au foils. The characterization of fabricated thin Mo foil was done using the Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and the Scanning Electron microscope (SEM) techniques. Thickness measurement of the target (Mo-Au) was done using Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique, in the measurements the thickness of the Mo foil and of gold backing are found out to be 1.3 mg/cm2 and 9 mg/cm2 respectively.
