Abstract
1 SUMMARY MEDICINE CONTAINING PSEUDOEPHEDRINE - RAW MATERIALS FOR CLANDESTINE PRODUCTION OF METHAMPHETAMINE Author: Havlíček S., Métis, Pharmacy in Stod, Czech Republic Tutor: Kotlářová J., Dept. of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove, Charles University in Prague,Czech Republic In the Czech Republic, the clandestine methamphetamine (pervitin) production appeared in 1970s. Ephedrin used to be a main source for methamphetamine production till the factory for ephedrine output in Roztoky (in 2004) was closed down. Since this moment a pseudoephedrine gained from ordinarily available medicaments has become very popular base material for this illegal production. An expansion of the illicit "home-based" methamphetamine manufactories is supported by very easy accessibility and also by poor regulation of these medicaments containing pseudoephedrine Another reason is the low price of the legally obtainable medication: around 200 CZK per 1g of pseudoephedrine. Pharmacies have suddenly become suppliers of drug gangs. However, they cannot prevent such situation under current legislation. Tightening regulations may help to solve the problem, but it seems unlikely to happen taken into account the large profits at stake. Sales volume of pharmaceuticals containing pseudoephedrine (Modafen,...

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
