The divine purpose theory (DPT)—according to which that human life is meaningful to the extent that it fulfills some purpose or plan to which God has directed us—encounters well-known Euthyphro problems. Some theists attempt to avoid these problems by appealing to God's essential goodness, à la the modified divine command theory (DCT) of Adams and Alston. However, recent criticisms of the modified DCT show its conception of God's goodness to be incoherent; and these criticisms can be shown to present an analogous set of problems for the DPT. Further, the argument can be extended to any account of meaningfulness according to which the value of what humans do can only be conferred by God. Thus, it would seem that there is no tenable version of the view that meaningfulness is conferred on human life by some act or attitude of God's.

Background: Diphteria can be prevented by immunization of DPT-HB-Hib (Diphteria, Hepatitis B, dan Haemophillus Influenze B) to infants and DPT-HB-Hib Booster, DT (Diphteria Tetanus) and Td (Tetanus Diphteria) afterwards. In 2017, diphteria case rate in Surabaya was high, 29 cases, due to the lack of 7 dosages of diphteria immunization. Purpose: This study aimed to depict the completion history of diphteria immunization based on the completness of immunization status which suits to age groups of diphteria patients in Surabaya in 2017. Methods: This study was quantitave descriptive with study cross sectional design. The objects of this study were diphteria patients in Surabaya in 2017 (29 individuals). Data was collected by questionnaire and immunization record from KIA/KMS books which belongs to Government effort to control Citizen Health Development. The variables of this study was diphteria patients characteristics (age and gender) and the history diphteria immunization. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis with frequency table. Results: This study obtained that mostly the diphteria patients in Surabaya in 2017 suffered this disease in 18 until 84 months old (58.62%) and mostly happened to male (82.76%). All patients aged 18 months old received complete diphteria immunization (3.45%), but all patient aged more than ≥ 18 months old did not received complete diphteria immunization (96.55%). Mostly the patients did not receive re-immunization afterwards, i.e DPT-HB-Hib Booster, DT, and Td. Conclusion: The completion 7 dosages of diphteria immunization is important to diphteria cases, especially to diphteria re-immunization afterwards.

AbstractThis study explores how dyadic power theory (DPT) can explain the demand/withdraw interaction pattern (in which one partner raises an issue and the other partner avoids discussion) in a wide range of relationship types (e.g. friends, romantic partners, family, work relationships). Two surveys were conducted (N = 155 and 91 of student and non‐student samples, respectively) where participants reported on either an unequal‐power or an equal‐power relationship in a scenario. The results were more complex than anticipated. DPT's predictions for both demand/withdraw (H1b) and relationship satisfaction (H2) were supported but found that a related pattern, criticize/defend (H1a; in which one partner critiques and the other partner defends themselves), was affected not only by the power dynamic (in the opposite direction that DPT would predict) but also by the type of relationship participants reported. In addition, equal‐power partners were more likely to use a positive interaction (RQ1) style than unequal‐power partners.

The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme was launched by the Indian government in October 1975 to provide a package of health, nutrition and informal educational services to mothers and children. In 1988 we studied the impact of ICDS on the immunization coverage of children aged 12-24 months and of mothers of infants in 19 rural, 8 tribal, and 9 urban ICDS projects that had been operational for more than 5 years. Complete coverage with BCG, diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT) and poliomyelitis vaccines was recorded for 65%, 63%, and 64% of children, respectively, in the ICDS population. By comparison, the coverage in the non-ICDS group was only 22% for BCG, 28% for DPT, and 27% for poliomyelitis. Complete immunization with tetanus toxoid was recorded for 68% of the mothers in the ICDS group and for 40% in the non-ICDS group. Coverage was greater in the urban and lower in the tribal projects. Scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward communities, and minorities (groups that have a high priority for social services) had immunization coverages in ICDS projects that were similar to those of higher castes.

Allergologia et Immunopathologia, 38(4), 226-227. doi:10.1016/j.aller.2009.09.008 ; [EN] BACKGROUND: Quinolones are the second most frequent cause of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to antibiotics. A marked increase in the number of patients with HSRs to quinolones has been detected. OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical characteristics of patients with HSRs to quinolones and present methods for their diagnosis. METHODS: Patients attending the allergy unit due to reactions suggestive of HSRs to quinolones were prospectively evaluated between 2005 and 2018. Diagnosis was achieved using clinical history, skin tests (STs), basophil activation tests (BATs), and drug provocation tests (DPTs) if ST and BAT results were negative. RESULTS: We included 128 subjects confirmed as having HSRs to quinolones and 42 found to be tolerant. Anaphylaxis was the most frequent entity in immediate HSRs and was most commonly induced by moxifloxacin. Patients were evaluated a median of 150 days (interquartile range, 60-365 days) after the reaction. Of patients who underwent ST and BAT, 40.7% and 70%, respectively, were positive. DPT with a quinolone was performed in 48 cases, giving results depending on the culprit drug: when moxifloxacin was involved, 62.5% of patients gave a positive DPT result to ciprofloxacin, whereas none reacted to levofloxacin. The risk of HSR was 96 times higher in subjects who reported moxifloxacin-induced anaphylaxis and 18 times higher in those reporting immediate reactions compared with clinical entities induced by quinolones other than moxi-floxacin and ...

Five patients with a history of seizures in the first year of life, occurring within 24 hours of DPT vaccination, were subsequently tested positive for SCN1A, and with support of genetic testing were diagnosed with Dravet syndrome, in a report from San Antonio Military Medical Center; Northwestern University School of Medicine, Children's Memorial Epilepsy Center, Chicago; Baylor College of Medicine, and Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, TX.

WOS: 000292436200010 ; PubMed: 21549499 ; Arsenic levels were determined in 62 stations utilized as drinking and potable water resources by local community for Turkey's Aksaray Province (4589 km(2); 980 m above sea level). The samplings were implemented every two months for 1 year. The arsenic values were found to be ranging between 10 and 50 mu g/L in 22 points and were found to be >50 mu g/L in 5 stations, according to the mean value of the 6 samples. WHO and the Turkish Standards have permitted an arsenic concentration of 10 mu g/L in drinking waters. The multivariate statistical technique, cluster analysis (CA), followed by principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to the data on 17 water quality parameters in 47 stations that are used for drinking and other domestic resources. Two significant sampling locations were detected based on the similarity of their water quality. The chemical correlations were observed in the two sub-sampling locations by Principal Component Analysis. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract
Background
Civil strife has long been recognized as a significant barrier in the fight against vaccine preventable diseases in several parts of the world. However, little is known about the impact of the ongoing civil strife on the immunisation system in the Northwest (NW) and Southwest (SW) regions of Cameroon, which erupted in late 2016. In this paper, we assessed the effect of the conflict on key immunisation outcomes in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon.

Methods
Data were obtained from the standard EPI data reporting tool, the District Vaccine and Data Management Tool (DVDMT), from all the districts in the two regions. Completed forms were then reviewed for accuracy prior to data entry at central level. Summary statistics were used to estimate the variables of interest for each region for the years 2016 (pre-conflict) and 2019 (during conflict).

Results
In the two regions, the security situation has deteriorated in almost all districts, which in turn has disrupted basic healthcare delivery in those areas. A total of 26 facilities were destroyed and 11 healthcare workers killed in both regions. Reported immunisation coverage rates for key antigens including, BCG, DPT-3 and MR, witnessed a dramatic decline between 2016 and 2019, ranging from 22% points decline for BCG in the NW and to 42% points decline for DPT-3 in the SW. Similarly, the proportion of districts with DPT-3 coverage of at least 80% dropped from 75% in 2016 to 11% in 2019 in the NW. In the SW this proportion dropped from 16% in 2016 to 0 % in 2019.

Conclusion
Our data demonstrates the marked negative impact of the ongoing civil strife on key immunisation outcomes in the two regions and the country at large. This decline could amplify the risk of vaccine preventable diseases vaccine preventable diseases outbreaks in the two regions. Besides the ongoing actions to contain the crises, effective strategies for reaching children in the conflict zones as well as the internally displaced population are needed. There is also the need to rebuild destroyed facilities as well as to protect health facilities and staff from targeted violence.

El artículo analiza el modo como en la primera mitad del siglo XX se buscaba regular las relaciones entre capital y trabajo en una provincia periférica de Argentina, marcada por el sistema de explotación del obraje maderero y el trabajo estacional. Estudiamos la trayectoria del director del Departamento Provincial del Trabajo (DPT), Amalio Olmos Castro, bajo una serie de hipótesis: que las dificultades en el avance de la legislación social y su implementación en Santiago del Estero estuvieron vinculadas, como en otras provincias, a que la legislación no dotaba de poder punitivo al organismo ni contemplaba tribunales específicos; al debate sobre la jurisdicción nacional o provincial de las leyes laborales; a conflictos entre los gremios y el director del DPT; a las dificultades de sindicalización más allá del área urbana y en ámbitos ligados a tradiciones de servidumbre como el empleo doméstico; a cuestiones estructurales, relacionadas con el procesos de conformación del Estado provincial y su lugar periférico en la modernización capitalista del país. ; The article analyzes the way in which, in the first half of the 20th century, the relationship between capital and labor was regulated in a peripheral province of Argentina, marked by the "obraje"'s system and seasonal work. The trajectory of the director of the Provincial Department of Labor (PTD), Amalio Olmos Castro, is studied under a series of hypotheses: that the difficulties in the advancement of social legislation and its implementation in Santiago del Estero were linked, as in other provinces, to the fact that the legislation did not provide punitive power to the body or contemplated specific courts; to the debate on the national or provincial jurisdiction of labor laws; to conflicts between the guilds and the director of the DPT; to the difficulties of unionization beyond the urban area and in areas linked to traditions of servitude such as domestic employment; to structural questions, related to the processes of conformation of the provincial State and ...

Abstract Background It was long speculated that there could be under-immunized pockets in the war affected Northern part of Sri Lanka relative to other areas. With the cessation of hostilities following the military suppression of the rebellion, opportunities have arisen to appraise the immunization status of children in areas of re-settlement in former war ravaged districts. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study to describe the coverage and age appropriateness of infant vaccinations in a former conflict district during the phase of re-settlement. The target population comprised all children of re-settled families in the age group of 12 – 23 months in the district. We selected a study sample of 300 children from among the target population using the WHO's 30 cluster EPI survey method. Trained surveyors collected data using a structured checklist. The infant vaccination status was ascertained by reviewing vaccination records in the Child Health Development Record or any other alternative documentary evidence. Results The survey revealed that the proportion of fully vaccinated children in the district was 91%. For individual vaccines, it ranged from 92% (measles) to 100% (BCG, DPT/OPV1). However, the age appropriateness of vaccination was less than 50% for all antigens except for BCG (94%). The maximum number of days of delay of vaccinations ranged from 21 days for BCG to 253 days for measles. Age appropriate vaccination rates significantly differed for DPT/OPV1-3 and measles during the conflict and post-conflict stages while it did not for the BCG. Age appropriate vaccination rates were significantly higher for DPT/OPV1-3 during the conflict while for the measles it was higher in the post conflict stage. Conclusions Though the vaccination coverage for infant vaccines in the war affected Kilinochchi district was similar to other districts in the country, it masked a disparity in terms of low age-appropriateness of infant immunizations given in field settings. This finding underscores the need for investigation of underlying reasons and introduction of remedial measures in the stage of restoring Primary Health Care services in the ex-conflict zone.

Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan praktik hak politik pada penyandang disabilitas di kota Surabaya Provinsi Jawa Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian Deskriptif-Kualitatif. Informan penelitian ini adalah penyandang disabilitas, Kasubag Teknis dan Humas KPUD Kota Surabaya dan Panitia Pemilihan Kecamatan Rungkut yang berjumlah 10 orang. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan teknik wawancara dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis melalui Pengumpulan Data, Reduksi Data, Penyajian Data, dan Penarikan Kesimpulan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data terkait tentang praktik hak politik pada penyandang disabilitas di kota Surabaya dapat disimpulkan bahwa dalam praktik hak politik penyandang disabilitas di kota Surabaya, validitas DPT penyandang disabilitas belum dapat terjamin, karena masih terdapat penyandang disabilitas yang belum terdaftar dalam DPT. Aksesibilitas di TPS sudah baik meskipun masih terdapat beberapa fasilitas yang kurang memadai seperti tempat TPS yang terdapat tangga serta temple braile yang kurang timbul. Sementara untuk menjamin kerahasiaan suara, pemilih penyandang disabilitas boleh memilih pendamping yang mengantarkannya ke bilik suara. Sosialisasi yang dilakukan oleh KPUD Kota Surabaya masih belum merata kepada penyandang disabilitas, dikarenakan sosialisasi hanya disampaikan pada komunitas-komunitas, sedangkan tidak semua penyandang disabilitas tergabung dalam komunitas. Sampai saat ini penyandang disabilitas masih belum bisa menjadi pelaksana pemilihan umum dikarenakan terbentur regulasi yang ada.
