Combined estrogen-progestin preparations (CEPs) are associated with thromboembolic (TE) side effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of TE using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database. Adverse events recorded from April 2004 to November 2014 in the JADER database were obtained from the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) website (www.pmda.go.j...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to define and analyse the emergence collaborative engagement platforms (CEPs) as part a rising platformisation phenomenon. Contrary previous literature on (EPs), distinguishes between formalised self-organised EPs sheds light which heterogeneous actors operate without central control by legislated firm actors.

The financial crisis has deeply affected European defence budgets and, as a consequence, the EU’s capability to act as a provider of global security. This paper assesses the extent to which pooling & sharing (P&S) of military capabilities is a viable plan to boost collective capacity-building and offset the heavy budget cut-backs, drawing impetus from the NATO ‘smart defence’ agenda. Although m...

The zinc-cadmium oxide (ZnO-CdO) nanocomposites with different weight percentages of cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the sonochemical method using zinc and cadmium nitrates as precursors to probe their nano-structured surfaces for the decomposition reactions of chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (CEPS) as a surrogate of sulfur mustard agent simulant. Scanning electron...

The Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is an independent policy research institute in Brussels. Its mission is to produce sound policy research leading to constructive solutions to the challenges facing Europe. As a research institute, CEPS takes no position on matters of policy. The views expressed are entirely those of the author. Acknowledgments: The author would like to thank Els Des...

Using the 2013 China Education Panel Survey (CEPS), we study impact of accessing better schools – a 2008 inclusive education policy through which central government mandated urban public to exempt migrant children from tuition and temporary schooling fees. Whereas non-disclosure rule regarding geographical location CEPS sampling units precludes control locational characteristics, identify causa...
