Published: August 2021

The benefits of vaccination are clearly demonstrated by the eradication or enormous decline of the incidence of many vaccine-preventable diseases, Yet the coverage against VPDs remains close to complete but there is a large gap between target and achievement of child immunisation in the country and the coverage of many highly recommended vaccines is still frequently inadequate and children still suffer from diseases that would are prevented. The main aim of this study was to discuss the recognized barriers to the vaccination of children confronting immunization achievement, providers and parents, and the ways in which they can be overcome. Most of the issues underlying limited vaccination coverage among children are because of a scarcity of understanding among healthcare providers and attendants, which underlines the necessity for educational programmes specifically addressed to each of these groups. However, it will take the combined efforts of healthcare systems and providers to pull down all of the barriers. The study was conducted to identify managerial barriers to vaccination of under five children. There is scope for improvement by focusing on the factors which are influencing utilization of immunization services.

Authors: Oppusunggu Lis Sintha , Simbolon Ika Pratiwi
Published: August 2021

This study aims to provide the evidence associated with the growth of corporate governance in crisis. This research is a type of literature study with secondary data (ROA and LDR) period January 2015–December 2019. The analysis is by using descriptive research with the support of theories and the findings from previous studies. Return on Assets (ROA) has increased and decreased for several periods and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). Profitability with ROA decreased by 0.35% from 2.82% in January 2015 to 2.47% in December 2019. As measured by ROA, banking performance declines to make banks vulnerable to a crisis. Banks that have a high LDR potentially have liquidity risk. This study provides descriptive statistics that describe the potential of high LDR in the future since there's a sharp trend for the increasing value of LDR. LDR increased as much as 5.95% from 88.48% in January 2015 to 94.43% in December 2019. Liquidity risk continues to rise to make banks vulnerable to a crisis. This study provides several findings from previous research regarding standard corporate governance and risk governance in the financial crisis to mitigate those risks. Evaluating formal corporate management and risk governance can lead to optimal financial soundness.
Advancing integrity in urban water and sanitation: WIGO report 2021
Authors: Webb Ashley A.
Published: August 2021

As the proportion of the global population living in urban areas increases, major challenges in providing safe drinking water and sanitation services need to be overcome, particularly in marginalised communities and informal settlements where services are already deficient. Strategies to provide water and sanitation are often undermined by corruption and integrity failures in the management of public resources, ‘petty corruption’ at the interface between individuals and institutions, and issues of inequitable and discriminatory planning and pricing. In the Water Integrity Global Outlook (WIGO 2021), WIN outlines successful strategies, tools and processes to reduce corruption and improve integrity by governments, utilities, the private sector, regulatory bodies, the media, NGOs and ultimately citizens, to drive improvements in the provision of reliable water and sanitation services.

Современное развитие науки в целом и криминалистического ДНК-анализа в частности позволяет исследовать микроколичества веществ, обнаруживаемых на предметах, изъятых с места происшествия. В связи с этим возрастает важность исключения загрязнения места происшествия сторонними материалами и веществами, привнесенными участниками осмотра. В статье рассмотрены причины возникновения контаминации и возможные пути ее предотвращения.

The modern development of science in general and forensic DNA analysis in particular allows us to investigate the micro amounts of substances detected on objects seized from the scene. In this regard, the importance of avoiding contamination of the accident site by third-party materials and substances introduced by the participants of the inspection increases. This article is devoted to the consideration of the causes of contamination and possible ways to prevent it.

金融創新與監理革新──以街口投信裁罰案為反思
Authors: 劉宗德 劉宗德 , 戴凡芹 戴凡芹
Published: August 2021

金融科技時代來臨後，給予非金融機構得以進入金融服務市場之空間。金融科技當欠缺細部之監理規則時，明顯存在著不確定性及適用上之灰色地帶。此時若有不肖業者打著金融科技之旗幟，以金融創新之名行監理套利之實，傷害金融秩序，國家必須負起金融監理之責任。面對企圖透過多重架構來謀求套利可能、屢次規避法規且忽視公司治理之業者，金融主管機關的確應以審慎監理之視角，處以行政處分等金融監理手段以收管理之效；但從管制謙抑性之觀點，監理機關更應思考如何以公私協力、自主規制及軟法治理之行政法理思維，再塑經濟管制，與業者共同建構金融監理生態圈之合作治理體系。

傷害保險中意外傷害事故之舉證責任
Authors: 李冠儀 李冠儀
Published: August 2021

訴訟上原告之請求能否成立，涉及舉證責任之分配，我國法院亦有援引民事訴訟法第277條規定作為舉證責任分配之基礎。進一步經由訴訟上證明必須要求訴訟審判者達到在審判上之確信，即法院必須達到對於待證事實認為已可認定為真實之心證度的最低要求，始可作為審判上事實者，有防止訴訟上事實出於虛偽不實之作用。以意外傷害保險之保險金給付請求訴訟為例，即一方面涉及被保險人或受益人在保險契約上之權利實行，另一方面有關對於保險人之保險金詐欺。本文旨在處理在意外傷害保險中保險事故之舉證責任，以平衡兩造訴訟上權益。
An Overabundance of Population Panics: A Rough Periodization of “Fertility Dystopias”
Authors: Hickman John , Parker Jonathan D.
Published: August 2021

This introduction to fictional “fertility dystopias” presents literary examples of the rapid expansion or collapse of populations through the manipulation of fertility or the fraught inability or decision not to. Additionally, these fictions are periodized with their extraliterary social contexts, revealing roughly three intervals: pronatalism dominant before the 1950s, antinatalism ascendant from the 1950s to the early 1970s, and, beginning in the middle 1970s to the present, contestation between pronatalism and antinatalism. Despite the ascendance of antinatalism, fertility dystopias in the middle interval reveal antinatalist assumptions but with accompanying anxiety rather than complete endorsement. Today, tracking with global variations in local fertility rates and development levels, both antinatalist and pronatalist messages are expressed with equal vigor.
A French Investigation of Oneida
Authors: Lallement Michel
Published: August 2021

Studies of nineteenth-century North American utopian communities are rarely interested in the relationships that these may have had with members or sympathizers from other communities outside the United States. It was between 1872 and 1901 that Oneida, one of the best-known communities in the United States, was the subject of an investigation conducted by Auguste Fabre, who was close to Jean-Baptiste André Godin, the founder of the Familistère (Social Palace) de Guise in France. An analysis of the mail circulating in the network formed by and around Auguste Fabre shows that much information on Oneida, including many written documents and photos, was exchanged by both sides of the Atlantic and contributed, albeit slowly, to an internationalization of the communitarian movement.
Utopia and the Politics of Conflict in Cory Doctorow's Walkaway
Authors: Troschitz Robert
Published: August 2021

Though utopias may be “good” if not “perfect” societies, they have to face the possibility that some people might not approve of the utopian way of life. Therefore, the question of how to cope with conflict, deviance, and dissent is vital for the utopian imagination. Taking into account how utopias have commonly handled conflicts, this article closely examines Cory Doctorow's science fiction novel Walkaway (2017) and the post-scarcity society it envisions. As this article shows, Doctorow's “critical utopia” experiments with alternative strategies of conflict resolution and engages with central problems of anarchism. By exploring utopia's limitations and contradictions as they emerge in moments of crisis and conflict, the novel, this article argues, not only reveals how much utopia has to be understood as encompassing the structural as well as the individual level, but it also places the politics of conflict at the heart of the utopian endeavor.
Darko Suvin, Communism, Poetry: Communicating Vessels
Authors: Moylan Tom
Published: August 2021

Darko Suvin's Communism, Poetry: Communicating Vessels teases out the dialectical connection between poetry and revolution. The book is comprised of an amalgam of essays and poems that constitute a “series of epistemological probes.” In their totality, they inform as a book-length essay on the politics of form that focuses on equally revolutionary ways of knowing and being in the terrible world of the present and of anticipating what is to be done to break through the conditions of exploitation and terror and into the realm of Freedom.

Buscando contribuir con los estudios sobre presidencialismo de coalición, el artículo examina la provisión de cargos de confianza como un recurso para el formato de la burocracia política. Para ello, examinamos los nombramientos de Dirección y Asesoramiento Superior (DAS) en el primer año del gobierno interino de Michel Temer (2016-2017). Partimos de la premisa de que los nominados políticos que ejercen cargos de confianza en la burocracia son capaces de imprimir orientaciones políticas en los órganos en que actúan, lo que atribuye centralidad a los estudios que tratan del papel de los nombramientos en el presidencialismo de coalición. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, emprendemos un análisis de datos agregados del Ministerio de Planificación, Desarrollo y Gestión. Entre los principales resultados destacamos que la mayor parte de los cargos es llenada por ocupantes de los cuadros públicos.

O herbicida ácido 2,4-diclorofenoxiacético (2,4-D) é amplamente utilizado e manuseado pela técnica de pulverização. Desta forma, promove o fácil transporte de partículas em suspensão, levando à exposição e inalação, comprometendo o sistema respiratório. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar os impactos da nebulização ao herbicida 2,4-D em diferentes concentrações e intervalos de tempo no epitélio pulmonar de modelos experimentais. Oitenta camundongos machos adultos Swiss foram alocados em quatro grupos: solução salina; baixas, médias e altas concentrações e expostos à nebulização em diferentes intervalos de tempo (24h, 48h, 72h e 192h). Para a análise morfológica, foram preparadas lâminas histológicas por coloração de Hematoxilina e Eosina (HE) com tecido pulmonar. As imagens capturadas foram submetidas à análise da dimensão fractal pelo método Box Counting. O epitélio pulmonar dos camundongos expostos ao herbicida apresentou alterações significativas, proporcionais ao tempo de exposição. Além disso, houve diminuição da área luminal. O herbicida 2,4-D causou alterações deletérias na morfologia das vias aéreas, pois resultou em remodelamento, fibrose e infiltrado inflamatório no tecido pulmonar, com consequente broncoconstrição e dificuldade nas trocas gasosas.

Published: August 2021

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic syndrome that adversely affects all parts of the body especially the cardiovascular system. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is a multifunctional protein and its inhibition has diverse effects. DPP-4 inhibition was shown to improve the survival rate after myocardial infarction in mice. Beneficial myocardial metabolic effects of DPP-4 inhibitors have been observed in experimental models. Cardiovascular outcome trials of DPP-4 inhibitors show variable adverse cardiovascular events.
Objective: This experimental study was aimed to study the direct cardiovascular effects of DPP-4 Inhibitors on chronotropicity (Heart Rate, HR), inotropicity (Apical Force and; dP/dt(max), ECG and Coronary Flow(C.F) and detect its potential useful and harmful effects on cardiovascular parameters.
Methods: The effects of graded doses (10-9 - 10-6M) of Sitagliptin (S) and Vildagliptin(V) were observed on retrograde perfused isolated rabbit hearts with warm Krebs-Henseliet solution on Radnoti working heart system. Fifty four(54) rabbits were grouped into nine groups i.e ; I(S1), II(S2), III(S3), IV(S4), V(S5), VI(S6), VII(V1), and VIII(V2) and IX(V3) each comprising of six animals(n=6).Effects of experimental drugs were observed on chronotropicity(HR), inotropicity (Apical Force and Peak rate of rise of LVP i.e; dP/dt(max) and Coronary flow(CF). The results were statistically analyzed with Graph Pad Grism and wherever necessary paired or unpaired “t” test was applied.
Conclusion: Sitagliptin and Vildagliptin both have suppressant effects on HR. Sitagliptin has positive and Vildagliptin had negative inotropic effects. Both drugs (10-8 - 10-6M); decrease coronary flow but have no significant effect on ECG.
