Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the rules for additional claims under Part 20 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (CPR). An additional claim typically will seek to pass any liability established against the defendant to a third party. This is achieved by seeking indemnities, contributions, or related remedies against the third party. A third party may in turn seek to pass on its liability to a fourth party, and so on. Permission to issue an additional claim is not required if the additional claim is issued before or at the same time as the defendant files its defence. An additional claim operates as a separate claim within the original claim.

Full textAbstract:
Mental illness and substance abuse are separate and additive risk factors for HIV infection. A comprehensive approach in the treatment of those with the dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse is very important because these patients are inherently at a higher risk of contracting or transmitting sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Problems with adherence to medical treatment seem to be additive in this group. In addition, substance abuse is associated with a host of medical sequelae (liver disease, infection, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive changes), complicating treatment of the virus in a population already at risk for these problems and leading to increased disease progression.

Having presented the role of upacāra in Asaṅga’s critique of an essentialist theory of meaning, this chapter now turns to examine additional aspects of the concept of metaphor as it appears in other Yogācāra-related Buddhist sources. Concluding the book’s survey of the Buddhist context of the Yogācāra, the text explores the possible ways in which a wide variety of Buddhist sources—including Vasubandhu’s Abhidharmakoṣabhāṣya (and Sthiramati’s commentary on these sections), the Yogācāra-related Laṅkāvatārasūtra (LAS), and Dignāga’s Pramāṇasamuccaya (PS)—contributed to Sthiramati’s full-fledged theory of metaphor. Here, the reconstruction of the context of the Yogācāra understanding of metaphor becomes more specific, tracing not only the broad common presuppositions underlying figurative usage, but also the possibility of a more concrete intertextual exchange that helped shape Sthiramati’s claims—some of them highly innovative—on this topic.

This chapter outlines some of our more effective demonstrations for teaching sampling. Part I of this book contains many activities related to sampling that we also use in our more advanced courses on the subject (e.g., see chapter 6 for an activity on estimating family size, and chapter 9 for a candy weighing activity). This chapter describes additional student activities that we have developed for the advanced undergraduate survey sampling class. These include provocative questionnaires to demonstrate question bias and statistical literacy packets for dissecting news stories about surveys. In addition, this chapter contains sample handouts used for teaching particular topics, techniques for encouraging student participation, and materials to organize student projects on complex surveys.

Full textAbstract:
Façade technology of the 20th century is related to the dissolution of the massive wall into a separation of structure and façade. Looking at the development of façade technology, after 60 years of curtain wall systems, 30 years of element-façade systems and ten years of experience with the integration of environmental services in double façades, it can be concluded that the peak of optimisation has been reached. No further technical developments can be expected by continuing to apply extra layers for each additional technical function. Understanding façades - or better envelopes - as part of an integral building, we have to see that creating the future envelope has to be done on a ’network’ basis: employing systems - but also methods of thinking - which provide the possibility to develop different aspects simultaneously and combine them as required. The envelope has to be seen as a functional part of the entire building, serving a part of the demand by providing the necessary technologies and qualities. In this regard, we have to withdraw from material and structure-orientated thinking and construction – we have to develop the envelope as a hybrid system: materials, technologies and production processes have to be integrated into the summation and combined into an all-encompassing result. Façades comprise various themes covering strategic, material and technological developments. Aspects such as function integration, networking of elements, new structures and materials as well as the addition of functions to existing structures will be investigated and explained in 85 or so concrete ideas.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses challenges to arbitrators in International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and ICSID Additional-Facility arbitrations, challenges to arbitrators in UNCITRAL arbitrations, and challenges to counsel and experts in ICSID and UNCITRAL arbitrations. Disqualification proposals have become a routine procedural mechanism used by both claimants and respondents in ICSID and UNCITRAL investment arbitrations. During the period 1982–2017, parties filed 121 disqualification proposals in ICSID proceedings. These included not only original arbitration proceedings, but also post-award proceedings, such as rectification, interpretation and annulment proceedings. In addition to arbitrators, disqualification proposals now target counsel, party-appointed experts, and tribunal-appointed experts. The chapter examines the relevant articles and rules that apply when challenges are against ICSID arbitrators, the timeliness of challenge application, the potential waiver of the right to seek disqualification, and arbitrator resignations in response to disqualification proposals. It also considers the procedure for adjudicating challenges to arbitrators in UNCITRAL arbitrations.

Full textAbstract:
The case of East Germany raises the question of why religion and church, which had fallen to an unprecedentedly low level after four decades of suppression, have not recovered since 1989. The repressive church politics of the SED were undoubtedly the decisive factor in the unique process of minoritizing churches in the GDR. However, other external factors such as increasing prosperity, socio-structural transformation, and the expansion of the leisure and entertainment sector played an important role, too. In addition, church activity itself probably also helped to weaken the social position of churches. The absence of a church renaissance after 1990 can be explained by several factors, such as the long-term effects of the break with tradition caused by the GDR system, the political and moral discrediting of the church by the state security service, and people’s dwindling confidence in the church, which was suddenly seen as a non-representative Western institution.

Full textAbstract:
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is still seen in many settings as a chronic disorder. This book details the ways that it is symptomatically a “good prognosis” diagnosis. This is particularly seen in the high rate of remissions of BPD and its constituent symptoms. The rate of suicide is also good news, as it is half the expected rate from four follow-back studies conducted in the 1980s. Areas with a more guarded prognosis, particularly for those who have not recovered, are poor physical health and poor vocational adjustment. In addition, rates of other deaths are increasing and have surpassed the rate of deaths by suicide. This book covers the following topics: History of the borderline diagnosis, models of the core features of BPD, earlier studies of the longitudinal course of BPD, the McLean Study of Adult Development (MSAD), the symptoms of BPD assessed in MSAD, the long-term course of the symptoms of BPD, symptomatic remissions and recurrences of the borderline diagnosis, prevalence and predictors of physically self-destructive acts over time, additional symptom areas over time, psychosocial functioning over time, recovery from BPD, predictors of time-to-remission and recovery, co-occurring disorders over time, mental health treatment over time, physical health and medical treatment, adult victimization over time, sexual issues over time, defense mechanisms over time, and new directions.

You have probably heard that nothing can go faster than the speed of light. In this chapter, we will see that the speed of light is even more remarkable: it is the same in all frames. From this surprising fact, we will deduce that this speed must also serve as a limit and that Galilean velocity addition fails to describe how nature works at high speeds: our first glimpses of the modern understanding of relativity. To make you more comfortable with the fact that velocities must add nonlinearly, this chapter develops an intuitive conceptual analogy for velocity addition.

Full textAbstract:
High courts differ in the processes for choosing who sits on the court, the size and composition of panels, and the cases the court hears. Once the case is before the court, a judge may also be influenced by the parties that appear in the appeal. This chapter examines this influence. The government, for example, tends to be more successful in many cases than other parties. This success may be due, for example, to the government having more resources than other parties or being a repeat player in front of the court. Further, judges seem to at least be modestly influenced by interveners, who are not actually the parties to the appeal but seek to provide additional information. Judges appear to consider the information provided by the interveners in some contexts, though the presence of interveners also appears connected to an increase in the probability of a judge dissenting.

Chapter 6 is the conclusion. It gives a summary of the analysis and the empirical coverage, but also discusses extensions of the proposed analysis. The proposed semantics for all sentence types is quite general, though designed for a compositional semantics for evidentials and mood. Many other phenomena may be seen as contributing similar kinds ofmeaning, including appositives, non‐restrictive relative clauses, and (slifting) parentheticals, in addition to other expressions of evidentiality.

Full textAbstract:
‘Sensory memories’ revolve around sensory mental images that seem to us to correspond to how things were on specific occasions during our own lives. Many of our sensory memories seem to reflect the ways that things once were for us in the course of sensory experiences that we ourselves underwent. But our sensory memories seem sometimes to have a less subjective cast, as some of them seem simply to capture what the world was once like. This chapter develops an account of the representational functions of sensory mental imagery in sensory memories that accounts for both of those different sorts of cases, and which also meets a range of additional constraints.

David W, Brett. A Historical Review of Enzymatic Debridement: Revisited. Heighten Science Publications Inc., 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.29328/ebook1001.
Full textAbstract:
The following is an update to a book entitled, “A Historical Review of Enzymatic Debridement: Revisited”, which I wrote in 2003. Since its publication, while the relevant clinical evidence has remained consistent, the amount of biochemical research and knowledge gained has been impressive. In the first chapter a sampling of the typical topical enzymatic debriding agents that have been used in wound care are reviewed and interestingly enough only one remains on the market. The FDA has removed all others from the marketplace and an explanation is provided in chapter one along with descriptions of the use and mode of action (MoA) of these agents. Chapter two is a review of the many different types of collagen found in the body, including their structure, form, and function as so much additional insight into this molecule has been gained since 2003. In chapter three we see an account depicting the many advances in understanding matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) reviewed in detail. Form, function, tissue orientation and preferred substrates are addressed. Finally, in chapter four we see the history of the MoA of MMPs as compared to bacterial collagenase starting in the early ‘80s to the time of this current publication. In addition we see the level of complexity of bacterial collagenases compared to MMPs, helping us to better understand why bacterial collagenase is much more efficient at removing necrotic tissue from wounds than are our own (endogenous) MMPs. I hope the reader finds this review useful from an academic standpoint, but more importantly from a clinical framework helping to understand the role of these types of therapies in wound care.

Full textAbstract:
In addition to reasoning from the valuational condition we are already in, it is possible to reason toward value. This form of value-learning is aspiration. Its neglect in the philosophical literature on rationality, moral psychology, and responsibility is visible in certain subtle ways in which the space of possibility has been narrowed in each area. But aspiration must be possible, since it is actual. We see it in Alcibiades’ speech in Plato’s Symposium. Plato shows us the tortured condition of someone who can almost see what it would be like to see things differently: Alcibiades’ conventional honor-loving values move him to flee from and hate Socrates, even as he struggles to recognize that the honor-loving life is not worth living. He can almost see his values as bankrupt—but he can’t quite, because they won’t go away.

Full textAbstract:
Intelligence can be considered a process, a product, and an institution. Institutions in particular point toward the idea of national security, since intelligence services are curiously bound up with both state sovereignty and the core executive. Preemption is perhaps the most important idea that has served to enhance the importance of intelligence. One of the most enduring definitions of intelligence is that it is a special form of information that allows policy makers, or operational commanders, to make more effective decisions. Quite often this intelligence is secret in nature, consisting of information that an opponent does not wish to surrender and actively seeks to hide. And although it is widely accepted that intelligence studies as a field is under-theorized, some areas have received more attention than others. Perhaps because policy makers have seen warning against surprise attack as one of the highest priority intelligence requirements, this area has been the most fully conceptualized. In addition, intelligence agencies themselves have frequently advanced the claim that their ability to lend a general transparency to the international system improves stability. Also, these agencies not only gather intelligence on world affairs but also seek to intervene covertly to change the course of events. Another controversial aspect of intelligence involves the cooperation between intelligence and security services.

The delivery of surgical care in modern healthcare systems has undergone a significant change in recent years. Increasing patient demands, and technological and pharmacological advances have enabled more complex surgery to be undertaken on patients with greater co-morbidities. In addition, new techniques have seen the development of day and short-stay surgery, enabling patients to spend less time in hospitals. These advances have required significant adaptation of surgical nursing skills, and this chapter gives an outline context to new models of surgery and the implications for nursing.

Full textAbstract:
When individuals experience distress, they try to make sense of this and, in the first instance, may seek help from personal, folk, or social sectors. If these interventions do not work, they will contact the professional sector. It is likely that the healthcare system will direct their help-seeking behaviour. In addition, the explanatory models they have will direct them into help-seeking accordingly. Once therapeutic interaction has started, the explanatory models of the individuals, their families, carers, and those of the clinician will affect therapeutic engagement. Race, gender, social status, education, and economic status will all affect explanatory models and where individuals seek help. If different from that of the patient, the culture of the clinician will affect therapeutic alliance. Working with interpreters requires training if the primary language of the patient differs from that of the healthcare professional.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter uses autoethnography and personal interviews to illustrate the experiences of white and black women in taiko. Given that a majority of taiko players in the United States are Asian American, taiko is a rare site in which white bodies are seen not as normal but rather as remarkable. Some black women, however, are seen as more American than their Asian and Asian American groupmates. In addition to the impact of racial identity, white and black women also experience taiko as open to a range of gender expressions and as an empowering art form. The chapter examines the ways white, black, and Asian American performers are triangulated and how taiko players experience whiteness and blackness as embodied, lived experience. The chapter traces the history of Iris Shiraishi’s song “Torii” to suggest that taiko has potential to forge productive cross-racial intimacies.

This chapter examines the psychology of advice recipients, focusing on research predominantly conducted using the Judge Advisor System, in which a participant “judge” receives advice from one or more advisors but has ultimate responsibility for making the decision. First, it reviews methods of typical Judge Advisor System experiments. Next, it surveys the research to explore why decision makers often do not seek out advice, focusing on the costs of advice and decision-maker overconfidence. It then examines why decision makers underutilize the advice they receive due to factors like confirmation bias, egocentric discounting, and power. In addition, factors that increase the utilization of advice, such as trust, advisor confidence, and advisor expertise, are considered. Finally, the influence of advice-recipient power and reception to computerized advice are examined in depth. Finally, advice to decision makers about how to seek and utilize advice to make better decisions is provided.

Full textAbstract:
The biochemical genetics laboratory has seen rapid technological growth and progress in the past 25 years, which has greatly aided in the detection of inborn errors of metabolism. Result reporting and accuracy are influenced by preanalytic sample handling, sample type, and methodology. Differentiating normal from abnormal is the key to disease diagnosis, and the interpretation of results often depends upon the pattern of analytes and knowledge about the patient’s clinical picture. The biochemical genetics laboratory is a setting that benefits from the addition of genetic counselors on staff. Technologies may evolve, but the role of the laboratory genetic counselor will remain essential.

The smartphone has changed the dynamics of mobile communication in a multitude of ways. Earlier 2G phone facilitated point to point communication between individuals. With the development of 3G, we have seen the growth of the mobile internet and all that includes. Rather than simple dyadic communication, 3G and the smartphone have allowed multisided interaction as well as new forms of coordination, communication, consumption, and social interaction. The devices have given us access to news, information, shopping, and entertainment. In addition, they have facilitated threats to our privacy and cyberbullying. This book examines the evolving nature of mobile communication.

In addition to the many examples, the reader is introduced to the history and the theoretical basis for biological interactions.

Specifically the choice situation addressed include: the ordered choice situation and the unordered choice situation. In addition, the article discusses two extensions of the basic discrete choice models commonly seen in political science research — models allowing for heteroskedasticity in the choices made across political agents (such as the heteroskedastic probit), and models that estimate substitution patterns across choice alternatives (such as the multinomial probit and mixed logit).

Its parts represent the two book projects that See hoped to complete: Queer Natures: Feeling Degenerate in Literary Modernism and Queer Mythologies: Community and Memory in Modern Literature. The first reinterprets the key term nature, central to so many discussions of literature and sexuality. For See, nature is no longer an unchanging substrate or a philosophical given. Relying on a thorough reading of Darwin, See argues instead that nature is constantly and aimlessly variable. Since it makes room for the aesthetic, by way of what Darwin called sexual selection, nature is also affected by feeling. On these grounds, See argues that nature itself might be considered queer. The second project proposes that, understood as queer in this way, nature might be made the foundational myth for the building of queer communities. See looks at the ways in which queer community has been imagined in literary works from a wide range of authors, and he analyzes the role that literature has played in providing significant aesthetic versions of that community. Locating the various failures of these myths is a way, he hopes, of approaching another, more successful communal story. In addition to his reading of Darwin, See provides new interpretations of modern writers including Langston Hughes, Virginia Woolf, Oscar Wilde, Hart Crane, and T. S. Eliot.

Full textAbstract:
This book is one of the most controversial horror films ever made. Despite not achieving huge success when it was first released, the Italian production found an audience on home video in the 1980s and became a 'must-see' for connoisseurs of extreme cinema. Indeed, Cannibal Holocaust's foremost legacy is in the United Kingdom, where it obtained its reputation as one of the most harrowing and offensive 'video nasties' — a term used to refer to a group of films deemed to be 'obscene' by the Department of Public Prosecutions. However, as the years have progressed, Cannibal Holocaust has been re-evaluated, mainly as the forefather of the 'found footage' film, and recent home video re-releases have added some valuable perspective to the onscreen violence with extensive cast and crew interviews. What is missing from this contemporary activity is contextualization of Cannibal Holocaust's style, affirmation and discussion of its locations and any extensive discourse about its representation of third world inhabitants (i.e. as 'primitives'). In addition, and also amiss from previous dialogue on the production, is that Cannibal Holocaust can be seen as one of the key post-Vietnam films. It is the spectre of war — and an explicit warning about Western involvement in civil conflict — which progresses Deodato's story of jungle adventurers in peril. By approaching the film from a more formalist position, this book provides an insightful discussion of this groundbreaking film.

Full textAbstract:
This textbook addresses many of the current-day illnesses seen by primary care clinicians and infectious diseases specialists. A case presentation format is used for all 54 chapters, and this framework serves as a wonderful educational tool that mirrors, in many respects, the objectives of a “case conference” format. The dozens of authors from different areas of our specialty have ensured that a robust clinical examination of specific infection syndromes has been included. In addition, the Question and Answer section solidifies the educational benefits for all levels and types of clinicians who seek an understanding of disease diagnosis, management, and prevention. A well-recognized characteristic of infectious diseases specialists is our focus on epidemiology, and this trait has served us well in developing successful clinical careers. Perhaps our compulsive investigation of a patient’s illness has been key in the desire of our colleagues from other specialties to “get infectious diseases involved.” This focus is evident in each chapter so that the reader will have a deeper understanding of the epidemiology of illness and its impact on early, pathogen-based diagnoses. Advances in the microbiology laboratory have clearly been influential in the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. Automated systems have revolutionized laboratory activities, and even work areas in the laboratory have evolved. This textbook addresses many of these laboratory tools and how to interpret laboratory test results, which now are often available in almost warp speed. As a result, the duration of empiric (and possibly incorrect) therapy is shortened with the subsequent initiation of specific treatment, to the benefit of the individual patient.

Full textAbstract:
Typically the origin of the earth is thought of as a two-sided issue: you either believe in evolution or creationism. However, this chapter illuminates the nuance and variety in people’s beliefs regarding the earth’s origin. For example, the authors introduce the idea of evolution with a divine first cause, which some religious people ascribe to. In addition some religious people see God as having an ongoing involvement in evolution. There is further variety in belief with regard to macroevolution vs. microevolution. It is a myth to think that all religious people believe or think in the same way about these issues.

Silverman, Marissa, and David Elliott. Rethinking Community Music as Artistic Citizenship. Edited by Brydie-Leigh Bartleet and Lee Higgins. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190219505.013.31.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter raises questions about the intersections between community music and citizenship and poses the fundamental question: ‘Artistic citizenship for what?’ Our chapter proceeds as follows. First, in addition to providing a concept of community music as/for artistic citizenship, we seek to relate central themes of community music to ‘living sites’ of artistic citizenship. Second, because our approach is dominantly philosophical, we probe the concepts of artistry and citizenship separately and in combination. In doing so, we hope to provide community musicians/facilitators with a theoretical framework for thinking about and acting in relation to the ethical natures, potentials, and pragmatic realities of artistic citizenship for human flourishing through music and the other arts.

Full textAbstract:
Writings on tax law and technology change often investigate three discrete but related questions: (1) how does tax law react to technology change; (2) how does tax law provoke technology change; and (3) how does tax law seek to preserve traditional interests (such as revenue collection) in light of technology change. In addition, observers sometimes raise concerns that the interaction of technology change and tax law can have a substantive impact on individuals, communities and/or national interests that may differ from the technology’s intended use (for example, automatic tax collection mechanisms may harm taxpayer privacy). The chapter reviews these writings and distils guiding principles for optimal tax law and policy in light of technology change.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 4 remains on the offensive against liberal neutralism, as it contests the efforts by Gerald Gaus to ground his libertarian version of neutralism on supposedly thin and uncontroversial premises. As will be seen, those putatively thin premises in fact depend on a number of deeply controversial assumptions. Although at least some of those assumptions are very likely false, this chapter does not need to establish their falsity. Instead, the point will be to reveal that liberal neutralism in one of its most prominent and perceptive instantiations is fundamentally non-neutral. In addition, the chapter will expose the oddly asymmetrical reasoning through which Gaus argues against anarchism and in favor of private property.

Full textAbstract:
A growing number of apps and iBooks seek to take advantage of digital technologies to incorporate photos, videos, and audio recordings into editions of Shakespeare’s plays, touting these additions as a boon for understanding Shakespeare. But any promise of transforming how editions can draw on and connect to performances of the plays has not yet been met. Instead, such promises run smack into the limitations of technology, money, rights, and imagination—all hampered by a failure to understand what purpose linking to performances might serve and undermining the pedagogical aims of teaching students to interpret Shakespeare on their own.

Full textAbstract:
The talents of twice exceptional (2e) students are often hidden beneath the frustration and pain caused by years of educational misplacement. Finding and identifying them as gifted, in addition to recognizing disabilities and areas needing support, is a challenge. Identifying a gifted student with a disability requires comprehensive assessment with diverse tools that allow the examiner to see both strengths and weaknesses of an individual. Education and experience working with gifted students and special education students is invaluable in understanding the special needs of the 2e population and the unique ways they respond to assessment. With comprehensive assessment by qualified clinicians, more 2e kids will be accurately evaluated, identified, and served.

Full textAbstract:
Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs) have received considerable attention over the past two decades, culminating with the inclusion of a new classification category of “Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders” in the DSM-5. This group of conditions includes obsessive-compulsive disorder along with two newly minted conditions (hoarding disorder and excoriation disorder) and others previously classified as somatoform disorders (body dysmorphic disorder) and impulse control disorders (hair-pulling disorder). In addition, other conditions that are not discussed in the DSM-5 have received attention, such as misophonia and orthorexia nervosa. The implications for research on these conditions, as well as their relations with one another, are significant since their aggregation is based on putative central mechanisms with limited empirical support to date. Indeed, the past decades have seen a dramatic surge in research on OCRDs across several domains, including clinical phenomenology, assessment, and psychological therapies. With these issues in mind, this comprehensive text addresses recent advances in the field of OCRDs, highlighting psychosocial theoretical and intervention approaches. As researchers and clinicians will be increasingly focused on this topic in light of the changes to DSM-5, this book is a timely addition to the literature in guiding clinicians in advances in OCRDs that will impact their practice.

This chapter examines the charter, structures, organs, and operations that govern the inner workings of the United Nations. It also attempts to show how over more than 60 years a number of events and developments have affected the character and practices of the United Nations. Undoubtedly, the most important single development has seen the total membership grow nearly fourfold (50 to 193) in number. Of this latest number, a majority are former dependent territories. In addition, diplomats working within the UN system usually belong to a national mission in New York and elsewhere. This entails a specialized role, invariably concentrating on a particular topic or committee, and being the basic source of advice to the ambassador, and hence to the capital.

Full textAbstract:
In the past 50 years, classification systems for renal neoplasms have become increasingly complex as distinctive morphologic patterns in renal neoplasms have been recognized and correlated with clinical findings. In addition to classic histopatology, more sophisticated diagnostic tools, including electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostic techniques have greatly influenced distinctions between various types of renal neoplasms. The current World Health Organization classification of renal neoplasms encompasses nearly 50 distinctive renal neoplasms categorized as malignant or benign tumours. These categories have been expanded during recent years to incorporate newer histotypes, thus suggesting that the next revision of this classification will incorporate some recently recognized entities. In this chapter, we examine clinicopathologic and genetic features of the renal tumours most often seen in clinical practice.
