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

“…If that harm is uncertain but serious, the precautionary principle might apply to the issue, and might require taking ‘precautionary measures’ to avert the threat of antimicrobial resistance, including stewardship interventions like antibiotic prescription caps, bans on certain uses in farming sectors, and eliminating over-the-counter uses of antibiotics. …”

Urgency of controlling black carbon emissions in shipping by Ong, Min Yee

“…There has been a lot of discussion about sustainable shipping and decarbonisation in the maritime industry. The IMO 2020 sulphur cap was a big stride towards green shipping. However, there is still a significant amount of work that needs to be completed before the industry can be fully sustainable and carbon free. …”

Experimental development of fabry-perot fiber-optic metal ion sensor based on layer-by-layer (chitosan/polystyrene sulfonate) substrate and ionophore (carboxymethyl 18-crown-6). by Yu, Feng Jen.

“…In this project, development of a novel label-free Fiber-Optic Fabry-Perot interferometry (FPI) metal ion detector based on a successful immunosensor with similar mechanism is proposed. 2 configurations of the sensor were proposed, one with an additional SMF cap and one without. Using the EDC / NHS coupling mechanism, the sensing element (ionophore) was attached to the polyelectrolyte substrate (Chitosan / Polystyrene Sulfonate) formed by performing polymeric layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique. …”

The spreadsheet : is it an asset in an accountants balance sheet? by Heng, Stefanie Gek Hiong, Ng, Jane Sook Yin, Sia, Valerie Puay Khim

“…Hence, plans to increase/maintain market share should perhaps take into account strategic factors like: -building market share quickly, -enticing upgraders to switch, and -preventing existing customers from switching. To cap it all, this project has confirmed the role spreadsheets play in contributing to work performances within the accounting arena and dispelled the "myth" (belief) that Lotus is the leading spreadsheet.…”
