Our study found that casual workers (often women) had least access to rights enshrined in codes of labour practice or to their legal entitlements, and were rarely unionised or represented on workers committees. (722)
Barrientos, S and S. Smith. (2007) “Do Workers Benefit from Ethical Trade? Assessing Codes of Labour Practice in Global Production Systems”. Third World Quarterly 28(4): 713-729.
In their study on labor codes in the agrifood industry, Barrientos and Smith found that labor codes were particularly weak “in terms of workers’ right to organize and bargain collectively, and in relation to gender issues” (2007, p.715). Women suffered not only directly due to their gendered position in patriarchal systems, but also indirectly, as they were most likely to be casual workers and as such, had least access to rights, legal representation or entitlements.
I used “casual workers”, “rights”, “entitlement”. … It says “legal entitlement” and “were rarely unionized or represented”. So I have taken “represented” from her and mixed it with “legal entitlement” to say “legal representation or entitlement”. Because it’s past tense, it means it is in relation to the study.

Mutations involving one (or a very few) base pairs are sometimes referred to as point mutations. (p.294)
The compound eyes, which are the visual organs of most adult insects, are much more complicated. The whole eye has an external transparent layer called the cornea divided up into facets, usually hexagonal in form, each of which is the outermost part of a visual structure called an ommatidium. In some dragonflies there are over 20,000 ommatidia in each eye, and most of the higher insects like flies and butterflies have several thousand. In worker ants there may be a dozen or less, and the eye hardly functions as a compound organ. (p.32)
A combination of tuberculostatic drugs also enables the dose of streptomycin to be reduced to a level at which severe toxic side-reactions are less liable to occur. Side-effects with streptomycin include hypersensitivity reactions, renal and liver damage, and disturbance of balance due to the drug affecting the vestibular part of the 8th cranial nerve. The more potent derivative, Dihydrostreptomycin, is not now used because it affects the auditory part of the nerve and may give rise to permanent deafness.

It used to be only five to ten percent of people developed allergic reactions to antibiotics, mainly penicillin. Now, as more and more individuals are exposed to antibiotics more and more often, increasing number of people are developing allergic reactions to drugs.
