StreamBase supports online versioning of configuration data. This allows a configuration to change without having to restart a running application. Configuration data is stored as Managed Objects in shared memory. Applications can define their own configuration data by defining a Java class. Application defined configuration data is operationally managed the same way as predefined StreamBase configuration data.
Figure 1, "Configuration model" shows the configuration concepts.
Type — a specific category of configuration data that is loaded in a single configuration file. A configuration type consists of one or more configuration classes.
Class — a Java configuration class. This Java class defines a new configuration object. All configuration classes are associated with a configuration type.
Name — a unique name per configuration type. Multiple unique names can be associated with a configuration type. The configuration name is the unit of versioning.
Version — a unique configuration version per configuration name. Multiple versions can be associated with a configuration name, but only one can be active.
Objects — zero or more configuration objects associated with a configuration version. All of the configuration objects are associated with one of the configuration classes associated with the related configuration type.
Notifier — a configuration notifier that handles configuration state changes (see Configuration Notifiers).
The type, name, and version information in the configuration files maps directly to the configuration concepts described above.
The type information in a configuration file is used to locate any configuration notifiers associated with the configuration data. The name and version are used to create or replace a configuration when the configuration is activated. See Configuration Life Cycle for more details.
For example, this configuration file is associated with a configuration type of distribution, it has a name of myconfiguration, and it is version 1.0.
configuration "myconfiguration" version "1.0" type "distribution"
All configurations can go through the life cycle shown in Figure 2, "Configuration life cycle".
Loaded — configuration data has been loaded into a StreamBase node. This is a transient state. The configuration data automatically transitions to the Inactive state once it successfully loads.
Inactive — configuration data is loaded into a node, but it is not the active version.
Active — the configuration version is active.
Removed — configuration data was removed from the node. This is a transient state.
StreamBase allows only one active version for each configuration name within a type. For example if there are two versions, version 1.0 and version 2.0, of a configuration file with a name value of myconfiguration and a type of distribution, only one can be active at a time in a node.
An audit step occurs before any configuration state changes to ensure that the configuration change does not cause runtime application failures. If an audit fails, the configuration state change does not occur and the application is left in the previous known good state.
Configuration type distribution and name myconfiguration version 1.0 is active.
Configuration type distribution and name myconfiguration version 2.0 is loaded, passes audit, and is activated.
Configuration type distribution and name myconfiguration version 1.0 is now inactive, and configuration type distribution and name myconfiguration version 2.0 is active.
Because the configuration replacement is done in a single TIBCO StreamBase transaction, there is no disruption to a running application.
Deactivating a configuration version does not restore any previously active version. Another version must be activated, or loaded and activated, as a separate step. (Until this is done, there is no active version.) Nor does deactivating a version unload it; it must be explicitly removed to achieve this. Until removed, a deactivated version remains available to be reactivated again without having to reload the configuration data.
Applications can install configuration notifiers to respond to configuration events that are raised as the configuration transitions through its life cycle. See the StreamBase Java Developer's Guide for details on how configuration notifiers are installed. Configuration notifiers are associated with a configuration type. Multiple notifiers can be installed for a configuration type. If multiple configuration notifiers are installed, the order in which they are called is undefined.
Audit notifier methods must ensure that the configuration state transition being audited can occur successfully. If the state transition cannot occur successfully, either because of invalid configuration data values or the current state of the application, the audit method reports a failure. If an audit fails, the configuration state change does not occur.
load Configuration load audit. This audit occurs after the configuration data is loaded into memory.
activate Configuration activate audit. This audit method is called when there is no previous version of the configuration data with the specified type and name active.
replace Configuration replace audit. This audit method is called when there is a previous version of the specified type and name active.
Following a successful audit (except for load), a notifier method is called to perform application specific behavior associated with the configuration state transition. The application state change methods cannot fail - all validation should have been done by the associated audit method.
load Configuration data successfully loaded.
active Configuration activation succeeded. This method is called when there is no previous version of the configuration data with the specified type and name active.
replace Replace existing configuration data. This method is called when there is a previous version of the specified type and name active.
inactive Configuration data successfully deactivated.
Notice that there is no method associated with removing configuration data. Configuration data removal is handled without any application involvement, other than auditing that the configuration data is removable.

EasyJet summer clouded by Brexit and economic weakness
Noor Zainab Hussain
(Reuters) - Budget airline EasyJet warned on Monday that European travellers were holding off booking their summer holidays for fear of how the Brexit process will end, weakening demand for tickets and prices.
In a trading update brought forward after a review of its Brexit preparations, easyJet confirmed its previous expectations for a 275 million pound ($360 million) loss in the six months to the end of March along with a fall in average prices per seat.
It also said it hoped prices would rise in the second half of its financial year, but based that on the assumption that Britain will have resolved its Brexit debate.
It said while domestic travellers were still booking, there was a visible drop in demand for flights to and from the United Kingdom.
The airline had previously been among the more bullish voices in the sector on the fallout of Britain's progress on leaving the trading bloc, playing down the risks when it raised dividend payouts last November.
Its shares sank 7.4 percent by 1420 GMT, dragging down Europe's biggest airlines with it.
"We had hoped for clarity around Brexit at this point of time and that hasn't happened and that clearly has had an impact on customer demand," Chief Executive Officer Johan Lundgren told reporters on a call.
"Whenever people turn on the television or they are looking up news and they go on to websites, they see uncertainty and lot of bad news. There is a waiting pattern for customers."
AIRLINES UNDER PRESSURE
European airlines are already battling over-capacity and high fuel costs. Iceland's WOW air was the latest casualty last Thursday, halting operations and cancelling all future flights after failing to raise more funds.
Shares in Ryanair, British Airways-owner IAG, Air France KLM and Lufthansa were among the worst performers on the pan-European STOXX 600 index as investors worried about the peak summer season.
"There is a slowdown and the uncertainty around Brexit is affecting the consumer confidence in the third quarter and also going into the fourth quarter," Lundgren said.
"We also expect the overall environment in Europe to get worse, because that's what (air traffic network) Eurocontrol has signalled."
Another challenge faced by airlines is congestion that leads to costly delays. The number of European flights delayed by up to two hours is set to increase seven-fold by 2040 due to greater travel demand and a lack of capacity, European network manager Eurocontrol has said.
EasyJet, which operate 979 routes and employs more than 14,000 people, forecast revenue per seat at constant currency to inch higher in the second half.
"The group reckons demand will pick up later in the year, but a more pragmatic observer would say it's difficult to put a timeframe on when Westminster and the EU 27 will solve the Brexit puzzle," said Hargreaves Lansdown analyst George Salmon.
Britain and the EU have said that flights will continue, even in the event that there is a no-deal Brexit and EasyJet is sure that it would be flying as usual.
EasyJet, founded in 1995 by Stelios Haji-Ioannou to offer low-fares flights in Europe, said it has raised the number of aircraft on standby and added crew to fight off disruption from Brexit over the summer.
Unlike a number of its competitors, the airline operates with Airbus planes and has been untouched by the grounding of Boeing's 737 MAX planes since a second deadly crash in Ethiopia last month.
EasyJet executives do not think that Brexit will have a long-tern impact on the aviation sector.

"The quicker we get certainty around the outcome of Brexit, the quicker the consumers will ... go back to wanting to fly and spend their time on a beach during the summer period," Chief Financial Officer Andrew Findlay said.

Steven Kawalit and Nafis Joon met subsequent to she surfacing on his Facebook timeline.
He chose to 'poke' her and they ended up in a love affair.
Thereafter Steven proposed to her at the company's headquarters and finally the couple got engaged.
A couple who fell in love when he 'poked' her on Facebook have eventually got engaged after a jolting proposal at the company's headquarters.
Steven Kawalit fell in love with her now fiancée after she popped up on his timeline on the social networking site in 2007.
He 'poked' her and, that small gesture, grew into a love affair that blossomed over the next seven years.
The couple got engaged subsequent to Mr Nawalit taking his lover to the Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California, on the pretext that he had won a context for a free tour.
At the company's headquarters Nafis was jolted when he got down on one knee and popped the question — in front of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg, and several bystanders.
Mr Nawalit, 32, got down on one knee in the middle of Hacker Square and said: 'When people ask us how we met, we say "mutual friends". And today you meet your mutual friends.
The bystanders leapt in delight, when they heard her saying 'Yes'.

An experienced Bath United side ran in 14 tries in a 92-0 victory against the visiting Royal Navy at the Rec this evening.
United, playing in their first match since clinching the Aviva A League title in December, set the score for the rest of the match in the first minute of play. Tom Heathcote put Matt Banahan into space inside the United half, and the centre galloped 60m before unselfishly putting Tom Biggs away. Heathcote's conversion made it 7-0.
Two minutes after that score, Ryan Caldwell showed surprising speed for a second row to sprint in for a try from just inside the Navy's half. With Heathcote's simple conversion in front of the posts, Bath led 14-0.
On six minutes, Tom Biggs was unwisely shown some space by his opposite man – space he exploited to toy with the Navy winger before offloading to Olly Woodburn to score United's third try, which Heathcote converted. 21-0.
With quarter of an hour gone, Banahan rounded his man on halfway, with Woodburn again the eventual beneficiary as he took the ball to score from within metres of the line. Heathcote missed the first of only three conversions he would miss on the night. 26-0.
Rich Lane on 22 minutes had spotted the smallest of gaps in the defence as the Navy backline rushed forward in Bath's half. It was all he needed, the fullback scything through to run from his own 22 to the Navy's 10m. Ben Williams then did the rest of the work, cantering in to score United's fifth try, converted by Heathcote. 33-0.
Within four minutes, Mat Gilbert had broken away from a maul in the Navy's 22 and touched down to enable a straightforward conversion from Heathcote. 40-0.
England U20s second row Charlie Ewels was the next to get his name on the scoresheet, taking a good angle six metres out from the Navy line to dot the ball down. The extras were added by Heathcote, allowing United to see out the half 47-0.
Any chance the Navy had of snatching the first points of the second half were quickly dashed as Heathcote scored in the 42nd minute. He converted his own try, making it 54-0.
After 50 minutes, a United penalty followed a forceful scrum from the home side. Heathcote kicked to touch, and Max Northcote-Green scored the first of his three tries from the driving maul. His first, second and third tries were all scoredin a fifteen-minute period – each converted by Heathcote – and by the 66th minute, United led 75-0.
Straight after the restart, and following Northcote-Green's third try, Heathcote latched onto an overarm pass from replacement wing Jake Henry to score out wide. 80-0.
Henry, now looking for a try of his own, scored three minutes later under the posts, to which Heathcote added the extras to make it 87-0.
With seven minutes left on the clock, and with very little room to work with on the left wing, Henry burrowed over for his second try after United had wasted little time in advancing into Navy territory. Heathcote's conversion attempt was wide, but with the score now standing at 92-0, the referee decided to call time on the match.

Free shipping applies to all Arturia purchases.
Thrilling hybrid desktop sequencer-synth designed to push the envelope.
Meet the ultimate sequencer-synth. Everything you know and love about the MiniBrute 2, but integrating a powerful, triple-layer sequencer. Where the original MiniBrute brought analog synthesis to the masses, MiniBrute 2S brings the huge potential of Eurorack modular to a new audience. The MiniBrute 2S combines lots of exciting new features without losing sight of what made the original so special: analog tone, powerful sound shaping features, a step-sequencer, and an arpeggiator.
Despite its power, MiniBrute 2S's massive synth potential remains accessible and fun to use. Thanks to its analog, semi-modular architecture, you have hands-on control of every parameter, so you can oscillators, ride your filters, sync your LFOs, and control your envelopes on the fly to create a sound that's unique yours, bound only by your imagination.
One of the most exciting aspects of MiniBrute 2S is how perfectly it integrates into modular setups. It features a comprehensive modulation matrix with dozens of sources and destinations, letting you experiment with the instrument's own sound, or hook it up to synth and effect modules. Featuring a revolutionary new connection system, it is also fully compatible with the RackBrute module housing system. Try out a few sounds from the included Preset Cookbook, hone your synth skills and start patching, expand using the RackBrute and your favorite Eurorack modules, the possibilities are endless.
Swapping out a keyboard for velocity and pressure sensitive performance pads, the MiniBrute 2S features a triple layer, monophonic sequencer that works in the same way as Arturia's award-winning KeyStep controller. You can control your notes with one track, and use the other 2 to sequence parameters like gates, CV, LFOs, and envelopes. You can do this in real-time, or by step-editing.

Q: building a long string to be passed to function as argument I am very new to programming with C++, I have
char INSERT_SQL[60];

and later in code
  INSERT_SQL = "INSERT INTO 'tempLog' ('temperature', 'humidity') VALUES ('";
  INSERT_SQL.concat(tempInC);
  INSERT_SQL.concat("','");
  INSERT_SQL.concat(humidity);
  INSERT_SQL.concat("');");

after the values of temperature and humidity are updated.
but I am getting error saying invalid array assignment
if I use String INSERT_SQL; instead of Char INSERT_SQL[60]; then I get this error:
no matching function for call to 'Connector::cmd_query(String&)'
how should I build a long array that of concatenating different variables together ?

A: It looks like you are indeed writing C++ (according to Connector::cmd_query(String&)). Thus, you can use std::string.
std::string INSERT_SQL;
/* later */
INSERT_SQL = "INSERT INTO 'tempLog' ('temperature', 'humidity') VALUES ('";
INSERT_SQL += tempInC;
INSERT_SQL += "','";
INSERT_SQL += humidity;
INSERT_SQL += "');";

Use INSERT_SQL.c_str() whenever a const char* is required for function call.

A: std::strings are rather poorly designed and it's hard to build one.
However you have the old C function sprintf. This takes arguments and is extremely flexible, and provides an easy way to build a complex string such as an sql query. After the building the string (whichever method you choose) print it out to check that it is right.
You can then convert a character array string to an std:;string for passing about. std::strings are good for that.
Code looks like this
  char query[1024];   // give yourself plenty of space;

  int tempInC;   // I'm guessing these will in fact be integers, not strings
  int humidity;
  sprintf(query, "\"INSERT INTO 'tempLog' ('temperature', 'humidity')
          VALUES(' %d, %d);\n\"", tempInC, humidity);

   printf("%s\n", query); // take a look, is the string right?

   // this interface takes a plain char *
   Connector::cmd_query(query);

   // you can just assign to a std string if you want to keep the query
   //  string hanging about. std::strings are better than char buffers for
   // medium-length persistent strings.

   std::string savequery = query;

Afghan instructors recognized for reintegration efforts
Release No: UNRELEASED Oct. 2, 2010
PARWAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan (Sept. 29, 2010) — Seven Afghan instructors were recognized, Sept. 30 for their efforts teaching detainees academic and vocational skills at the Detention Facility in Parwan.
U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Mandi Murray, commander 46th MP Command, Task Force Peacekeeper, and U.S. Army Col. Robert K. Burk, Combined Joint Interagency Agency Task Force 435 director of Reintegration, presented the awards.
"I want to personally thank you for all your effort and hard work," said Murray. "Your efforts are a huge part in making Afghanistan the country you want it to be".
The instructors teach Afghan Ministry of Education-certified courses in Pashto literacy, agriculture, and tailoring. Afghan educators, approved by Afghan Ministry of Education, provide instruction to the detainees, who participate in the program on a voluntary basis. Eligible detainees receive basic Pashto instruction in reading and writing. Advanced courses in Pashto and English are also offered to the detainees after they complete this course.
As part of a comprehensive reintegration effort at the DFIP, detainees learn more efficient growing methods to increase yield and profits when crops are harvested. The DFIP agriculture program is designed to teach detainees skills to enable successful rehabilitation and reintegration into Afghanistan society upon their release from detention. Acquiring skills, such as how to use drip irrigation to gain a higher yield from their crops, ensures detainees are less likely to turn to the insurgency for economic gain.
The tailoring course teaches detainees how to use sewing equipment to make clothing and also to use these skills to make a living sewing clothing in their village. These courses are taught through reintegration in order to help the detainees become successful members of their villages once released.
CJIATF-435, in partnership with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and U.S. interagency and international partners, conducts operations in detention, corrections, judicial sector and biometrics. Ultimately, the CJIATF-435 will transition detention operations to Afghan control while promoting Rule of Law practices.
The 46th Military Police Command, Task Force Peacekeeper, a subordinate CJIATF-435 command, oversees detention operations and the transition of detention operations at the DFIP to the government of Afghanistan. The task force ensures the safe and humane custody, control and care of detained persons in the Detention Facility in Parwan.
The DFIP, a state-of-the-art theater internment facility, located several kilometers from Bagram Airfield, was completed in September 2009 and occupied by detainees in late December 2009. The DFIP is equipped with a medical facility, on-site family visitation center, vocational facilities and educational classrooms.

What's A Vaginal pH Wash And Do You Really Need One?
By Sarah Klein
Dorling Kindersley/Getty Images
If you've visited the "feminine hygiene" aisle at a drugstore lately, you've probably noticed that maxi pads and tampons aren't the only items lining the shelves. A slew of special cleansers, gels, and creams for your lady parts have cropped up in recent years, with several promising to help you get your pH in balance. But what the heck is vaginal pH—and should you even care? (Looking to take back control of your health? Prevention magazine has smart answers—get 2 FREE gifts when you subscribe today.)
As you may or may not remember from high school science class, pH is a number that tells you how acidic something is on a scale of 0 (acid) to 14 (base). And, believe it or not, your vagina really does have an optimal pH. If it's out of whack, you can develop odor, irritation, and even an infection.

"Every single part of the body has a normal 'environment,' " says Lauren Streicher, MD, a clinical associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. The vagina's normal pH is somewhere between a 3.5 and a 4.5, she says, which allows for a healthy balance of "good" and "bad" bacteria. The good guys are lactobacilli, bacteria that give off lactic acid, which in turn keeps vaginal pH low.
When pH is normal, "it's an indication that the lactobacilli are doing their thing," Streicher says. The result: normal discharge, lubrication, and no irritation or funky smells. But every once in a while, something tips the scales. The change makes the vagina a less hospitable environment for lactobacilli and a more welcoming place for bad bacteria instead. The bad guys can cause odor and irritation and, in the worst-case scenario, set the stage for bacterial vaginosis (BV), the most common vaginal infection in women ages 15 to 44. (Here's what your vaginal discharge means.)
A number of things can interfere with vaginal pH. Blood has a pH of 7.4 and semen has a pH in the neighborhood of 7 or 8, so vaginal pH may change after your period or sex. It typically returns to normal soon after, but sometimes it stays elevated longer than it should.
MORE: 5 Reasons It Hurts Down There
Menopause messes with pH, too: When women stop producing estrogen, many experience vaginal dryness and thinning, which ends up killing off lactobacilli and causing pH to rise. In fact, postmenopausal women often have a pH in the range of 5 to 6, which is slightly higher than ideal, says JoAnn V. Pinkerton, MD, executive director of the North American Menopause Society and a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Virginia Health Center. Irritation and odor are common problems.
So what about those over-the-counter products that offer to set your pH straight? Do they really work? Surprisingly, the experts say yes: Unlike douching or using down-there perfumes, products designed to balance pH might actually have a place in your vaginal care routine. They've just got to be the right ones—usually gels or creams that go inside the vagina. Special washes that you use externally are basically worthless, since they affect only the vulva.
RepHresh/Facebook
If you're someone who often notices odor or irritation after menstruation or intercourse, then using something like RepHresh pH Balancing Gel after your period or sex might help, says Streicher. (If it doesn't, see your doctor to see what else might be going on.) Postmenopausal? A pH-balancing moisturizer that you put in the vagina may provide relief from dryness and rebalance pH at the same time, Pinkerton says. Just don't expect miracles: "There are limits to the benefits of vaginal pH products because they don't improve the number of thick vaginal cells or improve elasticity," says Pinkerton. "Vaginal estrogen can replace what's missing if symptoms persist."

All career women, students and moms can relate to feeling incredibly busy. While we can't help you juggle that crazy calendar, we can share tips on how to get—and stay—gorgeous when there aren't enough hours in the day. Here, find the emergency stash of beauty products tailored to your lifestyle—we guarantee it'll bail you out of any situation. You can thank us later.
Being prepared for impromptu meetings or last-minute evening events requires an emergency kit that takes you from midday slump to polished perfection in a snap. A mini hair tool is perfect for quick styling (whether you want your tresses straight or wavy), while blotting papers eliminate T-zone grease. A foundation-concealer stick duo allows you to touch up coverage that may have faded, and a berry lip shade and an alluring scent create the illusion of carefully planned primping.
You've got the toughest gig of all, which demands a stash of essentials that'll lend a helping hand, stat. An antibacterial spray and a compact case of aspirin keep you sanitized and headache-free, while a high-coverage concealer alleviates the dark circles that've taken up residence thanks to sleepless nights with an infant. When you manage to get some alone time with your SO, highlighter applied to the cheekbones offers a radiant glow, while a rose-scented volumizing spray refreshes your hair in an instant.
All-night study sessions call for rejuvenating products. We suggest a face mist to keep your skin hydrated (and your eyes open) and a kink-free hair tie that won't destroy your locks. Applying an aromatherapy oil to wrists and temples creates an aura of calm, while a tinted balm provides lips and cheeks with a natural flush of color.
If you take any opportunity to squeeze in a workout, you need products that refresh you quickly. Face wipes are crucial for whisking away sweat and makeup, while a mini deodorant keeps you fresh for the remainder of the day. A BB cream quickly evens skin tone, and a dry shampoo breathes new life into your hair.
Every seasoned globe-trotter seeks products that maximize in-flight downtime. A hydrating moisture mask protects skin from recycled-air-induced dehydration, while an intensive balm keeps your lips from chapping. Wrapping hair in a printed head scarf helps avoid frizz and tangles so you can emerge with polished tresses. A luxurious silk eye mask creates a restful cocoon so you can snag some shut-eye. Post-landing, a lash curler will instantly give the illusion of bright, wide eyes.

Fashion, Awards Giving And More Fashion On Africa Fashion Week Nigeria Day 2 - WakeUP Africa!
Day 2 of Africa Fashion Week Nigeria, which happened on Sunday September 16th, was a befitting grand finale to one of the most prestigious award platforms that celebrates African fashion.
The fashion show, which signaled the end of the Africa fashion week shows both in Nigeria and London for 2018, had the best designers showcasing on that day. Some new designers such as Kunle Afolayan, who launched his Kunle's Kembe collection showed that day, with actor Caroline Danjuma headlining his collection as the lead model.
Ooni of Ife, who was also the special guest to the AFWN also launched his Ojaja Fashion Institute, which was a platform to launch fashion designers in Osun and environs into the glamorous and sometimes hectic fashion industry. The Ojaja Institute, also showcased some of their collections on the runway.
Another high point of the AFWN 2018, was the giving out of awards to some persons who had in one way or the other supported the Nigerian and African fashion industry. Some of the awardees are Dele Momodu (Ovation Magazine Publisher), -he was commended for projecting African fashion and culture through his magazine, but was also urged to do more for the fashion industry now. Florence Ita-Giwa (Mama Bakassi and former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria), she was commended for her humanitarian works, for being a fashion icon through the years, and for supporting Africa fashion week Nigeria and London. Ita-Giwa single- handedly attended the first Africa Fashion Week London in 2011 and has also walked on the AFWN runway in Lagos. Sisi Abah Folawiyo (veteran fashion icon and designer), was commended for making people realize that are talented in fashion and for her contribution to developing and growing the fashion industry in Africa.

We received an e-mail from a UK saying that he had seen our website and was interested in our wipers and wanted us to send samples to him. Then we provide 2 samples for him, postage by his commitment. At the same time, we also provided him with the installation video. Guests think highly of the wiper for its durability , toughness, excellent scraping performance, high strength and easy installation. So they are very satisfied with our products, expressing willingness to buy and I hope we can give a reasonable offer. Customers said the first transaction would be 3000pcs wipers but they think that our prices are relatively higher that can not be accepted, hoping we can re-quote. But if take the design and quality into consideration, the price is considerable. Therefore, we take another offer.


The numbers on ethnicity speak for themselves. In the US, for example, black Americans comprise 13.2% of the population and Hispanics 16%; they make up just 5% and 1% of clinical trial participants respectively. In Europe, a 2006 review of 72 cardiovascular cohort studies found that just 15 studies were able to compare different ethnic groups, all of which were carried out in the US (none of the 41 studies in Europe were able to compare data by ethnic group). The picture is just as murky with gender. A 2014 study from Brigham and Women's Hospital and George Washington University found that medical research in many disease areas, including cardiovascular disease, which kills more women than men, often included few women subjects or didn't report results by gender. Key findings were that only one-third of subjects in cardiovascular clinical trials were female and in depression, which is more prevalent in women than men, brain studies in male animals outnumbered those in female animals five to one. It is no wonder that the authors of the 2015 paper argue for a more comprehensive view on diversity-sensitive clinical evidence – one that "takes heterogeneity as a starting point".
The fact that minorities, women, the poor and the elderly are underrepresented in clinical studies hasn't gone unnoticed; indeed, the FDA heralded 2016 as the "year of diversity in clinical trials". According to FDA Commissioner of Food and Drugs, Robert Califf: "Moving from the result of a clinical trial to applying it in practice is complex. But it's generally agreed that the composition of the population enrolled in a trial should help FDA reviewers, clinicians, or policy makers to have confidence that the trial results will apply to future practice." In response, the FDA has engaged in a number of activities to push for more diverse populations in clinical trials, such as providing information to underrepresented groups as well as launching Diverse Women in Clinical Trials, a multipronged effort to raise awareness and share best practices about clinical research design, recruitment, and subpopulation analyses. TransCelerate, the non-profit organization that works across the biopharmaceutical research and development community, has sponsored an initiative on Clinical Trial Diversification. It aims to assess the problems and develop guidance for sponsors and clinical trial sites on better practices and processes for minority recruitment.
Our hope is that by increasing minority physicians' participation, we will be able to increase the diversity of clinical trial participants and improve clinical research.
The obstacles to true diversity mirror those of trial recruitment at large, although access to trials, lack of awareness and lack of trust are more pronounced in some populations. According to Ann Van Dessel, SVP and Global Head of Clinical Operations at Janssen, awareness a crucial barrier. "Awareness of clinical trials as a potential treatment option is low, especially with minority populations. When there is awareness of a clinical trial option, there may be misconceptions about what is involved with clinical trials." Lack of access to medical treatment can also be a significant barrier to learning about clinical trial options, an issue that disproportionately affects patients from lower socio-economic strata, she says. Van Dessel points out that studies are conducted, for the most part, in the developed world. "These trials represent certain regions and ethnicities and, in particular, men. Women are usually under-represented for multiple reasons like pregnancy and breastfeeding, which are important, but the real world setting is not reflected. "Often clinical trial sites are the conduit to find patients and then provide this education. If sites don't have diverse populations, then finding the 'right' patients and participants can be a difficult task," she says. There may be other considerations, such as family input, transportation challenges, or time burdens, which act as deterrents for individuals. "The ability to connect with potential trial participants, in a way that is meaningful to them and from a source that is considered to be trustworthy in the eyes of that person, is imperative to participation success," says Van Dessel.
Janssen is making similar efforts, says Van Dessel. "Research has shown that minority patients often look to be treated by physicians of their own race, so identifying diverse investigators and site staff is critical to reach diverse populations. Our processes for site identification and site staff training at Janssen include considerations to increase engagement with sites treating diverse subject populations." Janssen's clinical trial recruitment data is analyzed to evaluate progress and identify opportunities for achieving representative population, based on the indication and disease researched. Lilly is currently engaged in a major research project with by the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care at the historically black Tuskegee University. The collaboration, which includes research, education, and community engagement, forms part of Lilly's wider clinical trial diversity strategy.
