The Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Belize covers the period from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022 (FY18-22). It presents the World Bank Group's (WBG) program and the anticipated results framework. It builds on the results and lessons of Belize's first Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) that covered the period FY12-15. This CPF is well aligned with the Government's long-term development vision, Horizon 2030: National Development Framework 2010-2030, and the thematic priorities emerging from the 2016 Belize Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD). The overarching goal of the proposed CPF is to support Belize in strengthening its economic resilience. Recognizing the special characteristics of a small state with associated capacity and absorptive constraints, the CPF proposes a consolidated and focused program. This will be the second full strategy for Belize, with the engagement still maturing, and it factors in lessons from the implementation of the first strategy. Therefore, the CPF will retain flexibility in some elements of the engagement that will be further defined with the Government during implementation. The Performance and Learning Review (PLR) at mid-point will incorporate necessary adjustments including in the Results Framework. The CPF is organized around two focus areas: (a) fostering climate resilience and environmental sustainability; and (b) promoting Financial Inclusion and social resilience. To support these focus areas, the CPF envisages the implementation of a program that could reach up to US$30 million in new loans, subject to how program performance evolves in the course of the CPF period, continued Government interest in IBRD financing, and on IBRD's lending capacity and demand from other borrowers. It will also be supported by non-lending instruments, notably Analytics and Advisory Services (ASAs), regional initiatives and trust fund resources.

Guided by the principle of "leaving no one behind", the world targets to achieve gender equality as part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Through the said SDG, United Nations member-states, like the Philippines, have committed to ensure that the rights and privileges afforded to all citizens are the same regardless of sex. This Policy Note presents current statistics on female representation in key leadership positions in the Philippine government and industry. It reveals a dearth of female representation in senior or lead positions and discusses some recommendations to address this systemic underrepresentation of Filipino women.
The reuse of brownfields as locations for urban intensification has become a core strategy in government sustainability efforts aimed at remediating pollution, curbing sprawl and prioritizing renewal, regeneration, and retrofitting. In Ontario, Canada's most populous, industrialized, and brownfield-laden province, a suite of progressive policies and programs have been introduced to not only facilitate the assessment and remediation of the brownfields supply, but to also steer development demand away from peripheral greenfields and towards urban brownfields in a manner that considers a wider regional perspective. This article examines the character and extent of brownfields infill development that has taken place in three Ontario cities (Toronto, Waterloo, and Kingston) since the provincial policy shift in the early 2000s. Using property assessment data and cleanup records, the research finds that redevelopment activity has been extensive in both scale and character, particularly in Toronto where the real estate market has been strong. While the results are promising in terms of government efforts to promote smarter growth that builds "in and up" instead of out, they also reveal that government could be doing more to facilitate redevelopment and influence its sustainability character, particularly in weaker markets. ; Sousa, C.

Authors rights protects artistic, literary and scientific works. This type of IP encompasses two types of rights: moral and patrimonial. Despite of the fact of this, there is a prevalence of author's economic rights against moral ones. This is due to the influence of Copyright, which subjects the existence of moral rights to patrimonials. This aspect contradicts the essential characteristics of moral rights, perpetuity, inalienability and irrenunciability, elements of the legislation deriving from the Civil Law, including Colombia. Nevertheless, the Colombian Constitutional Court has gone further as it has elevated moral rights to the constitutional category of human (fundamental) rights, thus guaranteeing its prevalence. ; Los derechos de autor protegen obras artísticas, literarias y científicas. Esta protección abarca dos tipos de derechos: morales y patrimoniales. Pese a esto, existe una prevalencia de los derechos patrimoniales de autor frente a los morales. Esto se debe a la influencia del copyright, el cual somete la existencia de los derechos morales a los derechos patrimoniales, aspecto que contradice los elementos esenciales del derecho moral: perpetuidad, inalienabilidad e irrenunciabilidad, elementos propios de las legislaciones Civil Law, incluyendo a Colombia. No obstante, la Corte Constitucional de Colombia ha ido más allá, ha elevado estos derechos a la categoría constitucional de derechos fundamentales y ha garantizado de esa manera su prevalencia.
The article pretends to show the evolution of the poetic thought of Diego Doncel (Malpartida, 1964) from the quiet meditation that characterizes his early books in progress towards a strong critical awareness of social and political nature. Above the use of contradictory strategies in the self representation, the whole of the poetic work of Doncel consists in a permanent reinvention of the author that could be explained by means of irony or, among more sceptic readers, in terms of palinode. ; El artículo pretende mostrar la deriva del pensamiento poético de Diego Doncel (Malpartida, Cáceres, 1964) desde la meditación serena de índole filosófico-religiosa característica de sus primeras obras hasta la asunción de una fuerte conciencia crítica social y política en sus últimas entregas. Por encima de la utilización de estrategias antagónicas en la autorrepresentación del yo, un permanente ejercicio de reinvención de autor parece subyacer en el conjunto de la producción lírica de Doncel, tal vez explicable en función de la ironía, reivindicada con insistencia por el poeta extremeño, o, tal vez, para espectadores más escépticos con respecto a una evolución tan singular, simplemente en términos de palinodia.
"Es siempre el acto de clausura de las actividades académicas anuales ocasión propicia y surgente para hacer un alto en el camino, examinar el trecho recorrido y escudriñar con mirada penetrante los horizontes hacia los cuales dirigimos nuestros pasos. La noche es plácida por razón de la época, y espiritualmente también lo es porque es noche de esperanzas rematadas en el corazón de los jóvenes, sus padres y sus maestros. Todo invita entonces a emplearla en intentar unas cuantas reflexiones sobre responsabilidades de la institución, sobre responsabilidades nacionales de la institución."

Abstract The strike action carried out by workers / labor unions incorporated in the labor union / labor union PUK SPL FSPMI PT Smelting is the result of the collapse of the PKB-8 negotiations conducted by PT Smelting company with the union / labor union PUK SPL FSPMI PT Smelting and SKS. Deadlines approved by the parties to the PKB-8 Bargaining Rule have been passed, resulting in different interpretations between the parties. Unions argue that endorsement approval is deadlock and leads to work strikes, while the company has not reached a dead end because the company is still willing to negotiate resulting in unilateral dismissal and unilateral reimbursement of workers by the company. . This study specifically examines strikes by workers / workers and checks for unemployment and unilateral worker reimbursement by companies and what remedies can be taken by workers who are dismissed and reimbursed unilaterally by the company. The purpose of this research is to know the suitability of strike done by worker / labor and dismissal and unilateral worker replacement by company side with provisions as regulated in UUK. The type of research is normative law research using approach of legislation and case approach. Types of legal materials comprise primary, secondary, and non-legal legal materials. Techniques of collecting legal materials with literature study techniques and interviews. Prescriptive method analysis technique. The result of the research shows strike conducted by the workers / laborers who are united in the union / labor union PUK SPL FSPMI PT Smelting is valid according to the laws and regulations.

Onder die Afrika menseregtebestel is die reg op ontwikkeling bindend. Artikel 22 van die Afrika Handves oor Mense- en Volkeregte (Afrika handves) dring die plig om 'die uitoefening van die reg op ontwikkeling te verseker' op aan die Afrika state. Tog bly Afrika in werklikheid onderontwikkeld. Tot op hede het die meeste Afrika-lande ooreenkomste gesluit rakende 'n ekonomiese samewerkingsooreenkoms (EPA) met die Europese Unie (EU), terwyl ander nog in 'n onderhandelingsfase is. Hierdie artikel ondersoek die potensiële uitwerking van die EPA's tussen Afrika en die EU ten opsigte van die beskerming van menseregte en, in besonder, die verwesenliking van die reg op ontwikkeling in Afrika. Hierdie artikel poog om te bewys dat die bepalings van artikel 36(1) van die Cotonou Ooreenkoms, wat van Afrika state vereis om 'n vryehandelgebied met die EU te vestig en, sodoende, hulle plaaslike markte te open vir die invoer van meeste van hulle produkte vanaf die EU, die mense van Afrika van hulle reg op ontwikkeling sal ontneem. ; http://www.dejure.up.ac.za ; am2018 ; Centre for Human Rights

BACKGROUND: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has typically been used to confirm or refute hospital/ward outbreaks of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) identified through routine practice. However, appropriately targeted WGS strategies that identify routinely 'undetectable' transmission remains the ultimate aim. METHODS: WGS of MRSA isolates sent to a regional microbiological laboratory was performed as part of a 12-month prospective observational study. Phylogenetic analyses identified a genetically-related cluster of E-MRSA15 isolated from patients registered to the same General Practice (GP) surgery. This led to an investigation to identify epidemiological links, find additional cases and determine potential for on-going transmission. RESULTS: We identified 15 MRSA-positive individuals with 27 highly-related MRSA isolates who were linked to the GP surgery, two of whom died with MRSA bacteremia. Of the 13 cases who were further investigated, 11 had attended a leg ulcer/podiatry clinic. Cases lacked epidemiological links to hospitals, suggesting that transmission occurred elsewhere. Environmental and staff screening at the GP surgery did not identify an on-going source of infection. CONCLUSIONS: Surveillance in the United Kingdom shows that the proportion of MRSA bacteremias apportioned to hospitals is decreasing, suggesting the need for greater focus on the detection of MRSA outbreaks and transmission in the community. This case study confirms that the typically nosocomial lineage (E-MRSA15) can transmit within community settings. Our study exemplifies the continued importance of WGS in detecting outbreaks including those which may be missed by routine practice, and suggests that universal WGS of bacteremia isolates may help detect outbreaks in low-surveillance settings. ; This work was supported by grants from the UK Clinical Research Collaboration Translational Infection Research Initiative, and the Medical Research Council (Grant Number G1000803) with contributions to the Grant from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the National Institute for Health Research on behalf of the Department of Health, and the Chief Scientist Office of the Scottish Government Health Directorate (to Prof. Peacock); by a Healthcare Infection Society Major Research Grant (to Prof. Peacock), and by Wellcome Trust grant number 098051 awarded to the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
