Abstract:

The study is based on the important idea that in the modern world increases the influence of the religious factor and, as a consequence, the population returned to traditional values, despite the globalization processes in all spheres of life. Long-term study of the Halal market in Russia, whose capacity is increasing every year, confirms the above. Alternately analyzes the infrastructure features of the Halal market, its current status and prospects of development in the future. Addressed to scientists of all fields, and practitioners of the market Halal.

Abstract:

The research aims to analyse the concept of the 'holiday home' in Italy, a phenomenon that is not very well known and not given sufficient visibility in the tourism sector. The objective is to grasp the role and the degree of response that the holiday homes can offer in order to consolidate a genuinely social and sustainable tourism, which is the specific feature of the Associazione di Promozione Sociale Santa Lucia. The holiday homes represent an efficacious response to the emerging motivations for travel and a new sensitivity towards social and sustainable tourism. The growing opportunities for this sector call for reflection on the mission and future positioning of the holiday homes within the tourist reception panorama, with the deriving choices relating to: the offer, consisting of values more than of services; the functions fulfilled, intimately bound up with the demands of the individual and the territory; the quality of the service, which is not generic but linked to the functions and can be measured in line with objective and subjective parameters. Strategic awareness, managerial capacity and elevated professionalism at all levels are the factors of legitimisation and success of this original reception formula.

Abstract:

In this chapter we start by defining terms and approaches to the assessment of mental or decision-making capacity. We outline basic principles – from the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA), which covers England and Wales, as well as from Scottish legislation –where the principles are relevant to other jurisdictions. More conceptual issues, for instance to do with values and best interests, soon emerge, especially in connection with life-sustaining decisions. We discuss advance directives and lasting powers of attorneyand various tests of capacity, along with safeguards in connection with research. We then provide some conceptual analysis of the notions of ‘capacity’ and ‘competence’. We hope to have demonstrated that capacity and decision-making are complex matters because they reflect deeper issues to do with our standing as situated human beings in the world.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses mental health advocacy in the UK and how the history of mental health care has influenced current practice, as well as how the advocacy sector in general has shaped government policy and legislation. The emphasis is on England and Wales, although advocacy delivery in Scotland and Northern Ireland is also considered. The chapter first defines advocacy and outlines its history in the UK before analyzing recent developments in the country. It then examines the principles of advocacy (independence; empowerment; representation, information, support; accountability; confidentiality), together with different forms of advocacy in the UK and key legislation, including the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Mental Health Act 1983 in England and Wales. Finally, it looks at issues and challenges faced by mental health advocates with regard to ethics and values, such as conflicts of interest and duty, the nature of professional obligations and neutrality, and social justice.

Abstract:

In this chapter, the meaning of ‘decision-making capacity’ is examined. A ‘procedural’, ‘value-free’ notion of its assessment is inadequate, especially in difficult cases where a consideration of a person’s ‘values’ may be unavoidable. An approach influenced by Davidson’s ‘radical interpretation’ is proposed, in which, under the ‘Principle of Charity’, a person’s system of beliefs and values is presumed to be, by and large, ‘coherent’. It asks how coherent are the present beliefs underlying a person’s apparently unwise treatment decision—how well do they fit with their previously deeply held beliefs and value commitments? A disruption of coherence may suggest an undermining of a person’s decision-making ability. The meaning of ‘best interests’ is also clarified in this context; it may mean giving effect to the person’s deep value commitments. Problematic situations are examined where questions arise concerning whether changes in a person’s values are of a nature that undermine decision-making or not. Dementia is an example.

Abstract:

The holistic assessment of the patient with ALS and their family will help to maximize the care as the disease progresses and the end of life approaches. This includes consideration of advance care planning, so that the person’s wishes are known if they lose capacity or communication late in the disease course. Discussion of ventilatory support, either by non-invasive ventilation or tracheostomy ventilation, is particularly important so that decisions are not made in a crisis situation. Although ventilatory support may improve quality of life (QoL) and length of survival, there may be increased dependency and continued disease progression. The recognition of the later stages of disease progression can allow further discussion and anticipation and preparation for end of life care—for patient, family, and professions—so that QoL is maximized until death.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on dilemmas faced by caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients in cases in which current preferences of such patients come into conflict with the attitudes and values the person held during better health. To which set of preferences should conscientious caregivers give priority? The chapter argues that many Alzheimer’s patients, at least up to the middle stages of the disease, are still capable of rudimentary autonomy and that they still have authority concerning their well-being. The capacity to value is often not completely lost in dementia, and insofar as it is not, respect for the immediate interests of a demented person compromises neither their well-being nor the respect for their autonomy. In the postscript, emerging neuroscience evidence is discussed that may suggest that, for a time, the capacity to value is not only preserved but even enhanced in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract:

This chapter investigates Hungary’s non-compliance problems and the insights these can provide into the relations between the EU and Hungary. Since 2010 there has been a new period in these relations—the Hungarian constitutional changes have challenged the EU, testing its capacity and ability to protect the Rule of Law in the Member States. This situation stands in contrast to Hungary’s legal harmonization and institutional adaptation to EU requirements prior to 2010. Now, when the challenge from the inside—that is, from a Member State—to the democratic value system of the community is significantly greater than ever, the EU faces an unexpected obstacle. To work out an effective and long-term solution to a situation which has never occurred before, the chapter examines the problem in greater detail—in particular whether it threatens the foundations of EU law as a whole.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses three findings of a study on whether investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) has contributed to changes in government decision-making about environmental protection in Ontario, Canada. These findings are: (1) ISDS puts pressure on government decision-making due to the financial and political risks, the opportunity costs that ISDS creates for government, and as a consequence of the career risks that it creates for individual officials; (2) ISDS pressures may be overcome, especially where there is a strong political commitment to a proposed measure backed by legal capacity to scrutinize purported ISDS risks critically and throughout the policymaking process; (3) the assessment of trade or ISDS risks involves value choices and ISDS-generated changes to decision-making processes elevate the role of ‘trade values’ over competing values associated with health and environmental protection.

Abstract:

This chapter surveys improvisation in the western classical tradition during a period of transition ca. 1800–1830. It considers not only why improvisational practices declined in this period, but also how they were preserved and revalidated in accordance with new musical values. It examines the free fantasies of Johann Nepomuk Hummel, an exceptionally famous composer-virtuoso of this period who was renowned for his improvisational brilliance. Critical responses and public reactions suggest that Hummel’s free fantasies were valued for their capacity to bridge the gap between connoisseurs and dilettantes, as well as the gap between public and private spheres. The chapter reflects on solo improvisation and its relationship to the social significance of improvisation.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter aims to address two related challenges the phenomenon of depression raises for theories which present autonomy as an agency concept and an independent source of justification. The first challenge is directed at an intuitive conception of intentional agency as implying a robust though not always direct link between evaluation and motivation, for in depression what appears to be choice-worthy does not get chosen. The second challenge targets the feasibility of a reliable distinction between autonomous and non-autonomous choices, for both value-neutral and value-laden accounts of depressive agency seem open to decisive objections. Drawing on Freud's interpretation of melancholia and Korsgaard's notion of practical identity, the chapter develops a conception of paradoxical identification which helps address the two challenges described and supports a revised value-neutral account of depressive agency as being non-autonomous.

Full text

Abstract:

Archaeologies of Listening provides a fresh and bold look at how archaeologists and heritage managers may enhance their capacity to interpret and understand material culture and heritage values. By listening closely to indigenous voices and to those who have long-term relationships with the landscape, deeper empirical understandings are brought to interpretations. Drawing on the founding principles of anthropology, Archaeologies of Listening demonstrates the value of cultural apprenticeship, an almost forgotten part of archaeological practice. The authors argue that epistemic humility is central to creating relationships of equality and mutuality, critical components in an anthropological archaeology that overcomes a narrowly scientific approach. By embracing a humanistic perspective with people-centric practice and ethics, this volume points the way to reawakening the core principles of anthropology in community archaeology and heritage studies.

Abstract:

Consultation-liaison psychiatrists, working at the interface between psychiatry and other medical specialties, frequently receive consultation requests reflecting tensions among the values of the clinical team, the patient, and the patient’s family. Yet little attention has been devoted to the religious and spiritual dimensions of these challenges. This chapter, using brief clinical case examples, reviews the relevance of religion/spirituality for ethical conflicts in several domains of consultation-liaison psychiatry. These areas of conflict include (1) the appropriate scope of the consulting psychiatrist’s role in diagnosis and treatment, (2) religious/spiritual aspects of capacity and candidacy evaluations, (3) patient and family values that conflict with those of the medical care team, and (4) a psychiatrist’s own values that conflict with the patient’s or society’s values. The chapter concludes by discussing in more depth a case involving several of these themes, analyzing it according to the Jonsen Four Quadrants Model.

Abstract:

This article examines asymptotic singular value distributions in information theory, with particular emphasis on some of the main applications of random matrices to the capacity of communication channels. Results on the spectrum of random matrices have been adopted in information theory. Furthermore, information theorists, motivated by certain channel models, have obtained a number of new results in random matrix theory (RMT). Most of those results are related to the asymptotic distribution of the (square of) the singular values of certain random matrices that model data communication channels. The article first provides an overview of three transforms that are useful in expressing the asymptotic spectrum results — Stieltjes transform, η-transform, and Shannon transform — before discussing the main results on the limit of the empirical distributions of the eigenvalues of various random matrices of interest in information theory.

Abstract:

Chapter 4 examines Russian and Chinese responses to the two major contemporary regional conflicts in Eurasia and the Middle East that are reshaping the international security environment and involving wide regional and global participation: Ukraine (2014–16), and Syria (2011–16). The cases of Ukraine and Syria demonstrate the capacity for Russia and China to serve as a counterbalancing influence to the United States and its allies in decisively influencing regional conflict situations challenging the norms and values of the liberal democratic order. Russia’s resurgence, China’s rise, and the burgeoning Sino–Russian strategic partnership suggest that the two countries possess the capacity to exert significant influence in provoking, managing, and resolving conflict situations not only in bordering areas, but on the wider global stage.

Abstract:

Large-scale change is not possible without aligning individual and collective values, wisdom, and commitment to the architecture needed to support ethical practice. The process required for designing a system that supports ethical practice on a moment-to-moment basis involves synergistic operational strategies. These include personal transformational learning, information for decision-making, supporting principled change-makers and risk-takers, and creating an enabling work environment. Transformational design and action involve using practices, techniques, and methods that source inner capacity at every step of planning and implementation and embodying foundational values. Transformational design leverages key elements of co-creating new patterns, developing new norms and systems for sustainable change, transcending disempowering patterns, and creating a new narrative.

Full text

Abstract:

This article examines corporate social responsibility (CSR) from the angle of critical theory. It begins by arguing that values shape corporate decisions in three general ways: managerial choices, routines, and reasoning processes; governmental regulation, incentives, tax structures, and oversight; and consumption choices within market systems. It shows that, alone and jointly, these ‘sites’ are fundamentally weak in their capacity to produce greater CSR in the sense of more diverse values and reasoning processes. Institutionalized power relations, various forms of systematically distorted communication, and ideology provide insight into different weaknesses and pitfalls. This article treats ideology as the presence of values embedded in language, routines, practices, and positions that privilege dominant groups which are difficult to identify, discuss, and assess owing to various covering mechanisms. Following this, it turns to exploring communication systems and practices that can provide for a more sustainable, and democratic, CSR.

Full text

Abstract:

Many writers have sought to ground epistemic normativity in the value of knowledge or truth, or else in the value of successful agency. Here it is proposed that epistemic norms derive their authority from the fact that it is good for us to subject ourselves to such norms by forming beliefs. And being subject to the relevant norms may be good for us whether or not conformity to those norms is good for us. In particular, beliefs serve our interest in being subject to the norms that govern our emotions. Unless I believe that Tom stole my bike, I can hope or fear that he did, but I cannot be pleased or angry that he did. Having the capacity for this sort of emotional engagement with things that matter to us is a human good, even though we may suffer from the exercise of that capacity.

Full text

Abstract:

The chapter on Poland focuses on two questions. Why, in contrast to all other state-socialist countries, did the church’s capacity for integration actually increase rather than decrease despite persecution and discrimination during the communist period? And why has this capacity also remained more or less constant (albeit to a lesser extent) in the period since the end of communist rule? The authors have identified four key factors in the remarkable resistance of the Polish Catholic Church during the period of communist persecution: the fusion of religious and national values, the specific conflict dynamics of the church’s struggle with the state, the structural conservatism of agricultural production in Poland, and the actions of Pope John Paul II. Explanations for the surprising stability of religiosity in Poland after 1990 point to the behaviour of the Church itself, to the internal pluralization of Catholicism, and to the impact of a homogeneous religious culture.

Full text

Abstract:

Objective definitions of health and disease are favored because they promise a value-free measure of health problems and health care needs. But objective health does not simply cause the subjective experience of health. Self-rated health predicts mortality, disability, and hospitalizations for up to a decade after controlling for objective measures of health. Objective tissue abnormalities cannot be discovered to be pathological without reference to the experiences of patients acting in their natural environment. Patients adapt to chronic illness and its functional deficits over time with real improvements in their quality of life. Problems like pain and depression do not distort quality of life assessments, but are at their core. Since neither objective nor subjective models of health are valid, we must derive a different model: health as capacity for action. Any adequate approach to health must foster the patient’s sense of agency, her capacity to achieve her vital goals.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter first outlines the legitimacy of measuring co-operative law by the internationally recognized co-operative principles, and the evolution of co-operative law across the globe over the past decades. Based thereupon it then suggests re-establishing the rationale for a co-operative law which distinguishes co-operatives from other types of enterprises, this rationale being the sustainable development enhancing diversity of enterprise types. The locus of competition/competitiveness is shifting from financial performance to the normative capacity of enterprises to contribute to sustainable development. Co-operatives have a competitive advantage in this respect. This chapter will therefore suggest how to translate this capacity into the legal structure of co-operatives. It does so against the background of the economic, political, sociological, and socio-psychological changes and challenges, of which globalization is both cause and effect, and which impact the co-operative values and the notion of (co-operative) law and of law-making.

Abstract:

Many older persons use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and an integrative approach is very consistent with the holistic model of geriatric “slow medicine.” Ethical practice requires an understanding of the patient’s values and goals of care. The core ethical principles of beneficence, autonomy, and justice are applied to geriatric concerns such as decision-making capacity, prognosis, and advance care planning. Informed consent requires that patients understand the goals of treatment, conventional options, and the evidence and safety of CAM therapies. Legal issues affecting CAM providers such as licensing, referrals, and malpractice are reviewed.

Abstract:

Chapter 6 turns to collectors to explore how anatomical modelling and anatomical displays were subject to processes of valorization. It examines how models had the capacity to generate and transfer value by exploring the events related to the sale of Morandi and Manzolini’s collection. In particular, the chapter reconstructs how the transferral of the anatomical collection to the palace of the Bolognese senator Girolamo Ranuzzi ended up supporting Ranuzzi’s own ambitions and commercial pursuits. It is argued that not only did anatomical models act as powerful vehicles through which their makers could be transformed into celebrities, they also became precious collectibles that could act as testimonials of their collectors’ involvement in natural inquiries and medical enterprises while, at the same time, adding value and prestige to their pursuits.

Abstract:

Principles of Criminal Law takes a distinctly different approach to the study of criminal law, while still covering all of the vital topics found on criminal law courses. Uniquely theoretical, it seeks to elucidate the underlying principles and foundations of the criminal law, and aims to engage readers by analysing the law contextually. This tenth edition looks at issues such as the law’s history and criminal law values, alongside criminal conduct, actus reus, causation, and permissions; criminal capacity, mens rea, and fault, excusatory defences; homicide; non-fatal violations; property crimes; financial crimes; complicity; and inchoate offences. A special aim of the book is to bring an understanding of business activity—in particular small business activity—closer to the centre of the stage, in a discussion of the values protected by the criminal law and of the way in which the law shapes its principles, rules, and standards. A large proportion of criminal offences are drafted with the conduct of businesses, as well as individuals, in mind.

Abstract:

Principles of Criminal Law takes a distinctly different approach to the study of criminal law, whilst still covering all of the vital topics found on criminal law courses. Uniquely theoretical, it seeks to elucidate the underlying principles and foundations of the criminal law, and aims to engage readers by analysing the law contextually. This ninth edition looks at issues such as the law’s history, criminal law values, alongside criminal conduct, actus reus, causation, and permissions; criminal capacity, mens rea, and fault, excusatory defences; homicide; non-fatal violations; property crimes; financial crimes; complicity; and inchoate offences. A special aim of the book is to bring an understanding of business activity-in particular small business activity-closer to the centre of the stage, in a discussion of the values protected by the criminal law, and of the way in which the law shapes its principles, rules, and standards. A large proportion of criminal offences are drafted with the conduct of businesses, as well as individuals, in mind.

Abstract:

A new paradigm for addressing the consequences of moral adversity, especially when it produces moral suffering, is an urgent priority for the healthcare system. The time is now for clinicians, leaders, healthcare organizations, and communities to align their values and commitments and to design for sustainable and meaningful results. More empirical and scholarly work is needed to expand upon the concepts offered in this book. We must foster innovation that sources our inner capacity, shifts patterns that no longer serve a useful purpose, and creates new methods and programs to cultivate moral resilience and a robust and lasting culture that supports ethical practice. Together we hold the keys to transforming moral suffering in healthcare.
