Official neglect

It was usual in the USSR that, even when strictly complying with the MPC, neither environmental nor human safety were ensured. Table 1.6 shows MPC examples of the water from reservoirs where the Health and Epidemiological Service needed to toughen MPCs in later years because several factors had been neglected. Shaded pesticides in this table (as well as following tables) were subsequently officially banned. 

Next, I wish to record the great debt, which I owe to the many facilitators, from teenage technicians to the successive departmental heads who favoured me with benevolent neglect, and especially those who after my official retirement, continued to make me welcome in their Department. The only one of these facilitators whom I will name here is our nonpareil glass blower, Chris Cork, who for over 30 years taught us his skills, built the impossible and finally, in 1985, when I retired, helped me to dismantle it all, both of us very sad. 

By establishing the role of money as a condition for expanded reproduction, a foundation is provided for exploring the circumstances under which there might be economic crisis. This monetary perspective has been largely neglected by official Marxian economics, with the main focus on real analysis (see Arnon 1994 355). For Pollin (1994 101), Marxian economics had until recently almost completely overlooked monetary and financial phenomena. Similarly, Hein (2002 1) argues that attempts to reconstruct Marx s theory of money and credit remained without major consequences for Marxian theories of accumulation and crisis . And for Crotty (1985 45),... 

It s no secret why AIDS gets attention and the neglected diseases don t It s the only one that also affects a large number of people in the United States with the money and health insurance to pay for prescriptions and the political clout to influence government and pharmaceutical officials. Now, is Big Pharma supposed to be working on those other diseases when it is unlikely to make any money ... 

In practice, the system broke down quickly. The areas actually under communal cultivation were typically far smaller than the hgures officially reported. Most section and village authorities were content to go through the motions when it came to communal cultivation. And they were reluctant to impose hnes on their neighbors who neglected the labor rules in order to tend to their all-important private plots. 

Nevertheless, this issue has not yet been given adequate and comprehensive scientific analysis, the sea-disposed munitions are not covered by either the Chemical Weapons Convention or other arms control treaties. In fact, the problem has been neglected for a long time on the international level. Only recently were official data made available by the countries which admitted conducting dumping operations. 

Yet, strangely, given its importance, this remains a neglected corner of AlUed history. Whilst historians have discussed industrial disarmament in general, and the history of the chemical industry in particular, the role of chemical disarmament has been the Cinderella of the story. Nonetheless, the attempts of Allied officials to survey and monitor the industry lies at the heart of political, military, economic and technology policy concerning military-industrial dual-use. ... 

Some parents of lead-poisoned children are afraid they will be seen as bad parents, or even have their children taken away by the state. This fear is especially common in cases where state officials intervene on behalf of the child. However, it is a very rare eventuality— only where there is other significant neglect on the part of the parents—that the state takes any action to protect the child from negligence or abuse. Lead poisoning in and of itself is not grounds for neglect, and cannot be used to take your children away.
