“…If anything, badgers are more likely to have been infected from the cattle in the first place'. 95 Unlike government veterinarians, who employed epidemiological methods of tracing disease outbreaks through geographical association, 96 the zoologists and ecologists of the NCC saw only the coincidental colocation of sick badgers and cows, which proved nothing about the ultimate source of infection. 97 The evidence was also treated as tentative by MAFF's in-house experts on wildlife, albeit for more pragmatic reasons.…”

Abstract. This paper argues for the need to create a more animal-centred history of medicine, in which animals are considered not simply as the backdrop for human history, but as medical subjects important in and of themselves. Drawing on the tools and approaches of animal and human-animal studies, it seeks to demonstrate, via four short historical vignettes, how investigations into the ways that animals shaped and were shaped by medicine enables us to reach new historical understandings of both animals and medicine, and of the relationships between them. This is achieved by turning away from the much-studied fields of experimental medicine and public health, to address four historically neglected contexts in which diseased animals played important roles: zoology/pathology, parasitology/epidemiology, ethology/ psychiatry, and wildlife/veterinary medicine. Focusing, in turn, on species that rarely feature in the history of medicine -big cats, tapeworms, marsupials and mustelids -which were studied, respectively, within the zoo, the psychiatric hospital, human-animal communities and the countryside, we reconstruct the histories of these animals using the traces that they left on the medical-historical record.

“…The inducement of system risk occurs outside the enterprise, and the company itself cannot completely avoid or disperse, which has a large impact. Although system risks cannot be controlled and dispersed, if an enterprise with a sound management system is supplemented by a good governance mechanism of the board of directors and fully implemented, if it encounters system risks, and even if it cannot be completely prevented from being affected, it can at least effectively reduce its impact and damage on the enterprise [15].…”

Corporate governance structure is a subject of great theoretical and practical significance, especially the impact of board characteristics on corporate performance, which has been the focus of scholars’ attention. However, due to the particularity of China’s commercial institutions, especially the state-owned commercial institutions in the transition economy, which have a strong government-led color in system, commercial institutions mainly rely on strengthening the governance of the board of directors to improve the effectiveness of their internal governance. Based on the basic principles of the Internet of Things (IOT) business environment, this paper divides the architecture of multiple IOT perception system into perception domain and business domain. This paper studies the development mode of the economic and business perception system stage of the Internet of Things: the primary stage, the growth and maturity stage, and the integration stage. Strengthen the establishment of an independent director system, create an environment in which independent directors exercise full power, strengthen penalties for violations of directors, strengthen the integrity of directors, and establish a scientific and reasonable board evaluation mechanism. The effective operation of enterprises is based on the perfect market rules and a good market order. The reform of state-owned enterprises with the core of establishing a modern enterprise system and improving corporate governance structure must be carried out simultaneously with the construction of market systems.

“…Another approach to Victorian state medicine appears in Social History of Medicine . Steere‐Williams examines two late nineteenth‐century studies of typhoid outbreaks to examine the links between state medical provision and scientific innovation. Finally, Juzda Smith examines proposals for a comprehensive anthropometric survey in 1904, which was motivated by concerns about urban living standards.…”
