WHO actively promotes breastfeeding as the best source of nourishment for infants and young children, and is working to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months up to at least 50% by 2025.
Objectives: The distinct effect of exclusive and predominant breastfeeding on primary dentition malocclusions is still unclear. We hypothesized that exclusive breastfeeding presents a higher protective effect against malocclusions than predominant breastfeeding and that the use of a pacifier modifies the association between breastfeeding and primary dentition malocclusions.
Results: Predominant breastfeeding was associated with a lower prevalence of OB, OJ, and MSM, but pacifier use modified these associations. The same findings were noted between exclusive breastfeeding and OJ and between exclusive breastfeeding and crossbite. A lower prevalence of OB was found among children exposed to exclusive breastfeeding from 3 to 5.9 months (33%) and up to 6 months (44%) of age. Those who were exclusively breastfed from 3 to 5.9 months and up to 6 months of age exhibited 41% and 72% lower prevalence of MSM, respectively, than those who were never breastfed.
Conclusions: A common risk approach, promoting exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months of age to prevent childhood diseases and disorders, should be an effective population strategy to prevent malocclusion.
Objective: We sought to examine the effect of exclusive breast-feeding on the early-life upper respiratory tract (URT) and gut microbiome, the URT immune response in infancy, and the risk of common pediatric respiratory diseases.
Conclusions: Our results support a protective causal role of exclusive breast-feeding in the risk of developing a lower respiratory tract infection in infancy and asthma and allergic rhinitis in childhood. They also shed light on potential mechanisms of these associations, including the effect of exclusive breast-feeding on the gut microbiome.
Note: Under certain U.S. fisheries laws, such as the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the term "exclusive economic zone" is defined as having an inner boundary that is coterminous with the seaward (or outer) boundary of each of the coastal states. While its outer limit is the same as the EEZ on NOAA charts, its inner limit is coterminous with the coastal states' boundary at 3 nautical miles, except for Texas, western Florida, and Puerto Rico, which claim a 9 nautical mile belt.
An exclusive representative is any labor organization which is certified under the Statute as the exclusive representative of employees in an appropriate unit, or was recognized by an agency immediately before the effective date of the Statute as the exclusive representative of employees in an appropriate unit and continues to be so recognized in accordance with the provisions of the Statute
The labor organization is the exclusive representative of the employees in the unit it represents and is entitled to act for and negotiate collective bargaining agreements covering all employees in the unit.
The exclusive representative must be given the opportunity to be represented at any examination of a unit employee by a representative of the agency in connection with an investigation if the employee reasonably believes that the examination may result in disciplinary action against the employee and if the employee requests representation. Management is required to inform employees of this right annually.
Any member of the exclusive representative who is an employee of the agency in the appropriate unit can use payroll deductions to pay regular and perioduc dues to the exclusive representative upon submission to the agency of an appropriate written assignment. If an appropriate written assignment is submitted to the agency, the agency must honor it and must deduct the dues from the employee's pay pursuant to the written assignment and make the appropriate allotment to the exclusive representative. Any such allotment is made at no cost to the employee or the exclusive representative. Assignments cannot be revoked for a period for a period of 1 year. However, any allotment for dues deduction for any employee must terminate when:
It is noted that under section 7120 of the Statute, an exclusive representative must adopt and subscribe to standards of conduct that assure it will maintain democratic principles and a system of financial responsibility. The Department of Labor's Assistant Secretary, Employment Standards Administration has prescribed regulations to carry out the purposes of this section.

Exclusive or or exclusive disjunction or exclusive alternation or logical non-equivalence or logical inequality is a logical operator whose negation is the logical biconditional. With two inputs, XOR is true if and only if the inputs differ (one is true, one is false). With multiple inputs, XOR is true if and only if the number of true inputs is odd.[1]
It gains the name "exclusive or" because the meaning of "or" is ambiguous when both operands are true. XOR excludes that case. Some informal ways of describing XOR are "one or the other but not both", "either one or the other", and "A or B, but not A and B".
The exclusive or is also equivalent to the negation of a logical biconditional, by the rules of material implication (a material conditional is equivalent to the disjunction of the negation of its antecedent and its consequence) and material equivalence.
Disjunction is often understood exclusively in natural languages. In English, the disjunctive word "or" is often understood exclusively, particularly when used with the particle "either". The English example below would normally be understood in conversation as implying that Mary is not both a singer and a poet.[4][5]
However, disjunction can also be understood inclusively, even in combination with "either". For instance, the first example below shows that "either" can be felicitously used in combination with an outright statement that both disjuncts are true. The second example shows that the exclusive inference vanishes away under downward entailing contexts. If disjunction were understood as exclusive in this example, it would leave open the possibility that some people ate both rice and beans.[4]
The symbol used for exclusive disjunction varies from one field of application to the next, and even depends on the properties being emphasized in a given context of discussion. In addition to the abbreviation "XOR", any of the following symbols may also be seen:
As noted above, since exclusive disjunction is identical to addition modulo 2, the bitwise exclusive disjunction of two n-bit strings is identical to the standard vector of addition in the vector space ( Z / 2 Z ) n \displaystyle (\mathbb Z /2\mathbb Z )^n .
The exclusive canonical form of a documentsubset is a physical representation of the XPath node-set, as an octetsequence, produced by the method described in this specification. It is asdefined in the Canonical XML Recommendation [XML-C14N] except for the changes summarized asfollows:
The term exclusive canonical XML refers to XMLthat is in exclusive canonical form. The exclusive XML canonicalizationmethod is the algorithm defined by this specification that generates theexclusive canonical form of a given XML document subset. The term exclusive XML canonicalizationrefers to the process of applying the exclusive XML canonicalization methodto an XML document subset.
The applications of Exclusive XML Canonicalization are very similar tothose for Canonical XML [XML-C14N]. However,exclusive canonicalization, or equivalent means of excluding most XMLcontext, is necessary for signature applications where the XML context ofsigned XML will change. This sort of change is typical of many protocolapplications.
The concept of an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) was adopted through the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Under international law, within its defined EEZ, a coastal nation has:
Exclusive dealing describes an arrangement whereby one party's willingness to deal with another is contingent upon that other party (1) dealing with it exclusively or (2) purchasing a large share of its requirements from it.(1)
Exclusive dealing is common and can take many forms.(2) It often requires a buyer to deal exclusively with a seller. For example, a manufacturer may agree to deal with a distributor only if the distributor agrees not to carry the products of the manufacturer's competitors.(3) And many franchise outlets agree to buy certain products exclusively from a franchisor.(4) But it also may involve a seller dealing exclusively with a single buyer.
