Identification and Interpretation of Cultural Landscape Field from the Integral Conservation Perspective by Zhitong LIANG, Yan DU, Haiyan XIA

“…Main operating steps of the framework are as follows: 1) Unearthing of potential elements by exploring the scope of cultural cohesion coverage; 2) definition of integrity by identifying associative indicators and comparing the degree of association; 3) analysis of the organizational structure by integrating the associative similarity and spatial proximity of elements; 4) representation of the overall operational mechanism at multiple levels through the combined analysis of associative indicators.ConclusionThe CLF interpretative framework advances HCHR conservation theory by bridging relational analysis and spatial practice. …”

Multidimensional challenges in Brazil's decision-making process of vaccines adoption: The case of childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccines by Ana Marli Christovam Sartori, Patrícia Coelho de Soárez, Hillegonda Maria Dutilh Novaes, Thayssa Veiga da Fonseca Victer, Ana Catarina de Melo Araujo, Greice Madeleine Ikeda do Carmo, Marcelo Yoshito Wada, Eder Gatti Fernandes

“…Results: In November 2022, the Conitec plenary recommended, at first, switching from PCV10 to PCV13, considering PCV13 non-inferiority and similar safety profile to PCV10, the price proposed by Wyeth/Pfizer, below the currently practiced, and the scenario of possible resource savings observed in an economic analysis conducted by Wyeth/Pfizer. In a second meeting, in April 2023, Conitec final decision was not to introduce PCV13 at that moment, based on additional scientific, administrative and technical data presented by the National Immunization Program, mainly epidemiological data showing no recent increase of pneumococcal disease (PD), the need to increase vaccination coverage to better control PD and to implement a sentinel surveillance of vaccine-preventable bacterial diseases with nationwide representation to better evaluate PD burden and serotypes replacement, and the country technological development and self-sufficiency in vaccine production. …”
