The law and ethics of restitution /
No full textDagan's 2004 book provides a dynamic account of the American law of restitution. The book reviews the existing doctrine, using an ethical perspective to expose and examine critically the normative underpinnings of the core categories of restitution. Dagan also discusses some of the most controversial issues in the area, such as cohabitation, improper tax payments, and the role of constructive trusts as trumps in bankruptcy. He further tackles the recent restitution claims of slave laborers (or their descendants) against corporations that benefited from their enslavements, and of governmental bodies against injurious industries. Dagan argues that the concept of unjust enrichment is not an independent reason for restitution but, rather, serves as a loose framework. By integrating doctrinal and ethical analyses of restitution across the spectrum of restitution contexts, the author offers significant and provocative insights on existing law as well as possible reforms
European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases Consensus Recommendations for Rotavirus Vaccination in Europe: Update 2014
No full textThe first evidence-based recommendations for rotavirus (RV) vaccination in Europe were prepared at the time of licensure of 2 live oral RV vaccines (Rotarix, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, and RotaTeq, Sanofi Pasteur MSD) in 2006 and published in 2008. Since then several countries in Europe and more globally have adopted universal RV vaccination of all healthy infants as part of their national immunization programs (NIPs). The experience from these NIPs has produced a wealth of post-introduction effectiveness data that, together with the evidence from prelicensure efficacy trials presented in the 2008 Recommendations, support the case of RV vaccination in Europe. The prelicensure safety trials of Rotarix and RotaTeq, each in populations of more than 60,000 infants, did not reveal risk of intussusception (IS), but postvaccination surveillance in several countries, particularly Australia and Mexico, has established that the risk of IS for both vaccines after the first dose might be between 1:50,000 and 1:80,000. Although it may be argued that the risk is acceptable vis-à-vis the great benefits of RV vaccination, this argument alone may not suffice, and every effort should be made to reduce the risk of IS. Considerable evidence, including postvaccination surveillance data from Germany, suggests that the risk of IS can be reduced by early administration of the first dose of oral RV vaccine. The previous European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases/European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition recommendations held that the first dose of oral RV vaccine should be given between 6 and 12 weeks of age; this recommendation is sustained but with an emphasis toward the lower range of the recommended age, that is, preferably between 6 and 8 weeks of age. At the time of the earlier recommendations, experience of RV vaccination in premature infants and other special target groups was limited. It is now recommended with greater confidence than before that prematurely born infants should be vaccinated according to their calendar age as recommended for full-term infants. It is now strongly recommended that all HIV-infected or HIV-exposed infants should be vaccinated with oral RV vaccine. Although specific information on many immunodeficiencies is lacking, infants with known severe combined immunodeficiency should not receive live RV vaccine

Validation and Optimization of Resonance Parameters introduced in nuclear data libraries
No full textOpen issues on scattering kernels of compound nuclear reactors
No full textScattering kernel models, define the energy change and angular distribution of a scattered neutron. In the keV and fast energy ranges these are often determined by phenomenological concepts or using fits to measurements due to lack of microscopic details and/or complicated mathematical issues with some models. Some scattering kernels neglect the temperature dependency or the resonant structure of the nuclide. Moreover, most of the double differential solutions do not sum up mathematically to the integral scattering cross section itself and are in the best case artificially adapted. This study deals with the scattering kernel of compound nuclei in energy ranges mainly up to 50 keV, for structured resonance cases. It compares the two advanced approaches as far as the physics is concerned, one of which is based on classical kinematics with a quantum correction in form of the energy dependent resonances developed by Rothenstein-Dagan (RD), and the other model by Blatt-Biedenharn (BB) resembles. Both models are based on theoretical microscopic assumptions yet differ by their physics approach. The analysis in this study leads to two new main observations. On one side the importance of inclusion of the azimuth angle, and further for a quantum mechanics approach a unique mutual spin number must be defined for the total cross-section as well as the angular distribution measurements

No full textGood education can be seen from various things that include it. One of them can be seen from reading ability and interest. in order to provide quality education so that it can improve students' literacy skills. Literacy is not just about reading, counting and writing, but literacy can start with reading. Much of the educational process today depends on a person's literacy awareness and abilities. Good literacy can encourage a student to tend to solve problems well. MI Mambaul Ulum Dagan, as an educational institution that cares about the holistic growth of students, faces demands to enrich learning approaches with creative elements and talent empowerment. MI Mambaul Ulum has made literacy a gateway to exploring creative potential and developing talents in every child. Having a reading corner at MI Mambaul Ulum Dagan can make it easier for students to access books when they want to read, which can indirectly increase students' interest in reading. So this research focuses on exploring and utilizing literacy corners as a medium for creativity in developing student talents at MI Mambaul Ulum Dagan. From the above background, the researcher took the title "Utilization of Literacy Corners as a Media for Creativity in Developing the Talents of MI Mambaul Ulum Dagan Students". This research aims to determine the use of literacy corners as a medium for developing student creativity at MI Mambaul Ulum and to find out the results of using literacy corners to develop students' creativity and talents at MI Mambaul Ulum. In this research the author applies a qualitative descriptive approach with the aim of describing and understanding reality. the event that is the focus of the research. The data collection techniques used in this research are observation, interviews and documentation studies. The research results related to the use of literacy corners as a medium for developing creativity for MI Mambaul Ulum students show that the literacy corners at MI Mambaul Ulum have been successful in developing students' creativity and talents, marked by increased creative expression, talent development, learning motivation and critical thinking skills. It is hoped that with improved facilities and activities, the benefits of the literacy corner will continue to increase. The literacy corner at MI Mambaul Ulum has proven successful in increasing student creativity, as seen from the increased expression of creative ideas and active involvement in learning. With supportive reading materials, a strategic location, and activities that stimulate the imagination, the literacy corner creates a conducive environment for the development of creativity. This model is recommended for application in other schools.
