Although Brazil's twentieth century medicine was strong in the clinical tradition, this was no structural barrier to innovations from the realm of laboratory experiments, contrary to what some historians have argued. The broad debate over the rules of 'experimental methods' reveals a dimension of the struggle waged between proponents of rival medical theories, within a context where dissension ...

In this paper, we present the concept of generalized invexity for vector-valued functions. Also, we consider different kinds of generalized vector variational-like inequality and a vector optimization problem. Some relations between vector variational-like inequalities and a vector optimization problem are established by using the properties of Mordukhovich limiting subdifferential. Acknowledge...

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recently published a report on factors that may contribute to the spread of Campylobacter in live chickens and chicken carcasses. The findings of the report [1], based on an European Union (EU)-wide survey [2] will provide the basis for further work by scientific experts to investigate further how Campylobacter-contaminated chicken meat affects the leve...

On the 25th July, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) launched an open consultation on a draft assessment of consumer exposure to BPA performed by the EFSA’s Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel). This was the Authority’s first review of exposure to BPA since 2006 and the first to cover both dietary and non-dietary sources. Data from scienti...

Whenever physicians give directions to patients there is always a question of their authority to do so: what is it that they know, and who is it that they are, that gives them this authority? The problem is fully general, but it takes especially interesting forms in early modern dietetics, where patients were reckoned to possess much pertinent and reliable knowledge, and where medical dietetics...

The following paper deals with an automatic text classification method which does not require training documents. For this method the German Subject Heading Authority File (SWD), provided by the linked data service of the German National Library is used. Recently the SWD was enriched with notations of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). In consequence it became possible to utilize the subje...
