Abstract:
Abstract The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a group of medical and public health experts, meets 3 times per year to develop recommendations for vaccine use in the United States. There are usually 15 voting members; members’ terms are for 4 years. ACIP members and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff discuss the epidemiology of vaccine-preventable diseases and vaccine research, effectiveness, safety data, and results from clinical trials. Representatives from the American Academy of Pediatrics (Y. A. M., D. W. K.) and the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (S. T. O.) are present as liaisons to the ACIP. The ACIP met on 23–24 October 2019 to discuss pertussis vaccines, the child/adolescent and adult immunization schedule, influenza vaccine effectiveness and safety, Ebola vaccine, orthopoxvirus vaccines, Dengue vaccine, rabies vaccine, measles, and vaccine safety update.

Abstract:
Seasonal influenza outbreaks are associated with morbidity and mortality in the United States. Though children are the most susceptible to influenza infection and are most likely to transmit the illness to others, many children are not vaccinated. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between seasonal influenza vaccination Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations, demographic characteristics, socioeconomic factors, and vaccine type among children over 3 consecutive flu seasons. This quantitative cross-sectional study was guided by the social ecology of health model. Secondary data from 3 consecutive flu seasons (2014-2015, 2015-2016, and 2016-2017) provided by the National Health Interview Survey was used for this study. Binary logistic regression and chi-square were used to analyze the data. A relationship between socioeconomic status, demographics (age, race, and family income) and vaccine type (live-attenuated influenza vaccine [LAIV]/inactivated influenza vaccine) was established among U.S. children; those who received LAIV were most likely to be White elementary school age children with a higher family income. Demographic and socioeconomic status was not considered influential in LAIV uptake for race, health insurance status, or family income. ACIP recommendations by age and year had the greatest impact on flu vaccine choice for this sample population. The results of this study can lead to social change by providing information for policy that can increase vaccine uptake, which can result in lower health cost and reduced illness and death rates associated with the flu, especially for those most at risk.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to gather information from Project Lead The Way (PLTW) partnership team experts. This project follows the methodology of a modified Delphi study. A review of literature in the areas of curriculum development, pre-college engineering, and the Delphi research technique provided the background for the structure utilized. Top programs from across the country were questioned to identify and come to a consensus on top components essential to developing and utilizing a successful PLTW partnership team. The components were categorized into two lists: effective practices utilized to make a program successful and effective practices employed by team coordinators to make a leadership team successful. The initial information provided was revised through the blind collaboration of 17 experts. Information gathered between each revision was coded and analyzed to achieve two final lists.

Abstract:
This study examines the science/policy interactions in global health science and technology governance. It focuses on the institutional design of organizations that sit at the interface of science and policy, conceptualizing them as Boundary Organizations (BOs). The analysis considers how the institutional design of BOs affect boundary-work. The study examines two case studies, UNESCO’s International Bioethics Committee and the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization. The study examines the ways in which boundary-work is carried out and finds that the concept of a BO demonstrates an institutionalization of science/policy interactions and the analysis of these two cases show that there are different ways that boundary-work is practiced as a function of the design of BOs.

Abstract:
AbstractThe management of any Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), such as COVID-19, requires several strategies: public health surveillance and active testing of suspected cases, isolating those with the disease as well as their contacts, providing risk communication messaging for actions that people can adopt to protect themselves and their families, and distribution of available vaccines once approved. Anticipating scarcity in supply, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, tasked with providing independent advice and recommendations on immunizations for the Public Health Agency of Canada, developed preliminary recommendations for prioritization of COVID-19 vaccines before any vaccines were even authorized for distribution in Canada. We explore in this chapter the mechanisms used to establish preliminary recommendations for COVID-19 vaccine priority groups, including different strategies for public and stakeholder engagement in those recommendations, and how three provinces made operational decisions to implement vaccine delivery within their jurisdiction. We highlight specific opportunities and challenges when the general public is engaged in evaluating prioritization recommendations, particularly when those who are consulted may not necessarily reflect the population diversity underlying equity considerations. We share public comments about COVID-19 vaccine priority groups from age-stratified (18–34 years; 35–54 years; 55 years and older) mixed-gender focus groups in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Ottawa, conducted in December 2020.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the current recommendations for adult persons living with HIV (PLWH) in the United States regarding vaccine-preventable diseases. In clinical practice, PLWH should be offered annual influenza vaccine; a combination of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis vaccine; depending on previous vaccination, pneumococcal vaccine, meningococcal conjugate vaccine, and hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines. Human papilloma virus vaccine can be given in PLWH up until the age of 26. Live vaccines, including the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and varicella vaccine, can be given in those individuals who have CD4 cell counts of greater than 200 cells/mm3 and did not receive these vaccines during childhood. Some expert panels endorse recombinant zoster vaccination in PLWH at least 50 years old, although there is no current official recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The chapter covers routine vaccinations for PLWH.

Abstract IN chapter l, we explored government discussions of research involving human subjects in the 1940s and 1950s. We found that, at several junctures, government officials exhibited an awareness of the Nuremberg Code, the product of an international war crimes tribunal in 1947. If a requirement of voluntary consent of the subject was endorsed by the Nuremberg judges and was recognized at the highest reaches of the new Cold War bureaucracy, then how, a citizen might now ask, could there be any question about the use of this standard to judge experiments con ducted during this time in the United States? And yet precisely this question has been raised in connection with human radiation experiments.

Abstract:
Abstract When news reports of human radiation experiments sponsored by the government appeared in late 1993, most citizens were startled to learn about such seemingly secret activities. However, some said that there was nothing new or secret; not only had such experiments been the subject of government inquiry in prior years, but they also had been openly published in the medical literature, and even the popular press, at the time they were performed. Not unlike the atomic bomb itself, human radiation experiments were said to be the darkest of secrets and yet no secret at all. What was secret about human experiments and what was not? This chapter, drawing on what we have reported and adding some new material, summarizes what we have learned about both the rules governing secrecy in human subject re search and data gathering and the actual practices employed.

Full text
Abstract:
The US rail industry is charged with developing and implementing interoperable Positive Train Control (PTC) on many lines by 2015. It will be a challenge to assure the overall design safety of this next generation of train control, and there are significant issues with accommodating varying operating methods and different territories. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) will also require the railroads to meet the processor-based train control standards in FRA Rule 49CFR236 Sub-Part H (hereinafter FRA Rule 236H) [1], including the requirement for a comparative risk assessment, preferably quantitative. This paper provides an overview of the safety assurance process mandated by the FRA and discusses a cost-effective approach to performing risk assessments on large PTC systems. The paper also recognizes the current FRA and Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC) effort in developing the new PTC-specific FRA Rule 49CFR236 Sub-Part I to meet the recent PTC legislation requirements. The FRA Rule 236H requires railroads to use a comprehensive approach to generating a risk based, safety case for all PTC-type systems. Following the FRA Rule 236H guidelines helps ensure that all aspects of system safety are addressed, and that a safety conclusion can be successfully drawn from the documented evidence. The FRA requirements for building a safety case are based on time-tested traditional safety analyses which are enhanced to address system-wide safety. A critical new requirement of this standard is the development of a quantitative comparative risk assessment for the system as the formal mechanism for summarizing the safety argument. The FRA Rule 236H requires the comparison of the risk of the new PTC system with the historical risk of the existing system, which will be extremely challenging for the nationwide implementation of interoperable PTC where differing operating methods may be employed on multiple railroads with differing levels of appropriate historical data to reference. These factors must be carefully considered in the risk assessment approach and in the formulation of the overall system safety case argument for this Federally-mandated implementation. The risk assessment process described in this paper is uniquely different from existing quantitative safety assessment approaches that have primarily concentrated on producing a Mean Time Between Hazardous Events (MTBHE) for the various train control components in the system. In contrast to an MTBHE method, FRA rule-compliant comparative risk assessment approaches must evaluate PTC safety in the context of the overall comprehensive system operation, considering the effects of human errors, operating rules/procedures, training practices, system maintenance, equipment failures including any time/sequence dependencies, and the movement of trains and their exposure to potentially hazardous conditions. These considerations have prompted the development of a comprehensive FRA Rule 236H-compliant risk assessment methodology that goes far beyond traditional safety analyses and is well-suited for the assessment of interoperable PTC systems.

Abstract:
Building on the success of a UK-based project, Queering Public Space (Catterall & Azzouz 2021), this report refocuses the lens on Australian cities. This is necessary because the histories, legacies and contemporary forms of cities differ across the world, requiring nuanced local insight to ‘usualise’ queerness in public spaces. The report comprises the results of a desk-top research project. First, a thematic literature review (Braun & Clarke 2021) on the experiences of LGBTIQ+ individuals, families and communities in Australian cities was conducted, identifying best practices in inclusive local area policy and design globally. Building upon the findings of the literature review, a set of assessment criteria was developed: – Stakeholder engagement; – Formation of a LGBTIQ+ advisory committee; – Affirming and usualising LGBTIQ+ communities; – Staff training and awareness; and – Inclusive public space design guidelines

Hague, Mathias, Michael Obanubi, Michael Shaw, and Geoff Tyler. The development impact of concessional finance to agri-business: a rapid evidence review. Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA), 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/20240191179.

Full text
Abstract:
The provision of concessional finance has become an increasingly important tool to support enterprise development, especially where financial markets are underdeveloped. For the purposes of this research, concessional finance is defined as that which is extended on terms and/or conditions that are more favourable than those available from the market. This can be achieved, for example, via lower risk adjusted return expectations; terms and conditions that would not be accepted/extended by a commercial financial institution; and/or by providing financing to a borrower/recipient not otherwise served by commercial financing. Risk mitigation tools, guarantees and first-loss products are also included when they are provided on concessional terms. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom (UK) has committed funding to a range of concessional finance investors in the agriculture sector, including significant sums for the CDC Group (the UK's development finance institution), AgDevCo (a specialist agribusiness impact investor), the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) Private Sector Window, and the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF). FCDO also makes smaller contributions to more specialized institutions as well as collaborative interventions with other donors in the agriculture sector. These organizations cover the spectrum of investment themes, from close-to-market interest rates for more established businesses to long-term, low- or no-interest debt with packages of advisory support for early stage or highly innovative business models. They deploy a wide range of instruments, some funded, which includes all types of concessional debt and equity; and others unfunded, which covers risk mitigation tools, guarantees and first-loss products when they are provided on concessional terms. Implementing partners use different methods for monitoring and reporting the performance of the concessional funding provided by donors, using both customized measurement mechanisms or those based on more broadly accepted standards such as the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED). Research ranges from light touch human interest case studies to more formal longitudinal analysis using rigorous statistical survey methods. Academic institutions are increasingly contributing quality research, particularly to the assessment and understanding of development impact, often in partnership with impact investors. Donors themselves both directly engage in research but also provide the majority of the funding for evidence-based learning in both investors and academia. After more than a decade of concerted investment and innovation in the concessional finance space, particularly in sub Saharan Africa and South Asia, there is increasing interest in understanding whether these interventions are providing the development impacts expected and which financing tools and institutions are most effective for different types of farmer and or food market systems. These lessons will allow good practices to be replicated in future and implementation modalities to be improved to maximize development impact and financial performance.
