Stewardship and social justice: implications of using the precautionary principle to justify burdensome antimicrobial stewardship measures by Johnson, T

“…That may raise issues of social justice if the harms of stewardship measures befall already disadvantaged populations. To avoid this blind spot in ethical analysis using the precautionary principle, it ought never be used alone, but rather always alongside justice-considering ethical concepts such as reciprocity, benefit-sharing, or a just transition.…”

On fatal competition and the nature of distributive inferences by Bar-Lev, Moshe E., Fox, Danny

“…We argue for a modification of Denić’s generalization, and provide an explanation that is based on intricate logical computations but is blind to probabilities. The explanation is based on the observation that when the domain size is no larger than the number of disjuncts, universal and existential alternatives are equivalent if distributive inferences are obtained. …”

Improving year-round protection against influenza infection in the tropics by Young, Barnaby

“…This thesis presents a review of influenza epidemiology in Asia and the association between the pattern of seasonality and latitude and climate; a systematic review and meta-analysis of test-negative design (TND) case-control studies in order to generate summary estimates of changes in vaccine effectiveness with time since vaccination; results of a cohort study that investigates whether there is evidence for waning vaccine protection against severe influenza in Singapore; an observer-blind randomised clinical trial of annual versus biannual influenza vaccination in older adults, and further analysis of predictors of waning antibody titres post-vaccination.…”

Defining proteoform-specific interactions for drug targeting in a native cell signalling environment by Lutomski, CA, Bennett, JL, El-Baba, TJ, Wu, D, Hinkle, JD, Burnap, SA, Liko, I, Mullen, C, Syka, JEP, Struwe, WB, Robinson, CV

“…Typically, cell-based assays are used, however, they are often blind to the effects of protein modifications. In this study, using the archetypal G protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin, we found that the receptor and its effectors can be released directly from retina rod disc membranes using infrared irradiation in a mass spectrometer. …”

Glass box and black box machine learning approaches to exploit compositional descriptors of molecules in drug discovery and aid the medicinal chemist by Robson, B, Cooper, R

“…These points are demonstrated by blind test comparison of two main types of BB methods and a probabilistic “Glass Box” (GB) method new outside of medicine, but which appears well suited to the above. …”

Protection of cyclists by Xiao, Shunyu

“…By shifting of pedestrian crossings out of signalised junction, pedestrians and cyclists will have the right of way and blind spots can be effectively minimised. Health screening programming can be proposed to certify the health status of elderly cyclists and restraining those with medical conditions from cycling on the roads. …”
