Abstract:
Ensconced as sheriffs of Worcestershire since Norman times, the Beauchamps owed their earidom to a particularly fortunate marriage in the thirteenth century. Thereafter, they, like other magnate families, owed their increasing prosperity to marriage alliance and to royal service, found wanting only when the Crown itself exhibited weakness. Though virtually all the Beauchamp earls belonged to the later middle ages, the chance survival of their records and other factors have dictated that emphasis be laid on their history after 1369 and that, within that period, a personal bias be given to the life of the fifth earl. The balance has been redressed, however, by the discussion of other aspects not confined to the years 1401-39. The fourth earl's disgrace in 1397 marked the nadir of Beauchamp fortunes, a situation reversed by the advent of Henry IV. The beginning of the Lancastrian regime practically coincided with the majority of Earl Richard, who oversaw the recovery and expansion of the family's wealth and influence and prepared the way for their short-lived dukedom. This was extinguished, along with their earldom, on the failure of the male line in 1446. Detailed attention is given to the estate administration and finances of the fourth and fifth earls, who took an interest in such matters. As a result, they probably enjoyed a fairly steady income from land (political loss aside) in the period 1395-1423, and its expenditure reflected their current preoccupations: lawsuits, the purchase of property, the war, and patronage. The Beauchamps dispensed largesse to a numerous following, the subject of a final chapter dealing with the cost and nature of their patronage, the composition and stability of the affinity, and the interaction of the war and peace-time retinues.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the rise of the electric guitar in the United States – arguably the most iconic and successful musical instrument of the 20th century – and the role of George Beauchamp in its invention and development. It focuses on Beauchamp's invention of the electromagnetic pickup, which is the component that makes an electric guitar an electric guitar. The research is based on examination of surviving instruments as well as archival research. An extensive contextual background is given regarding the historical development of electrical musical instruments in general and electric and electrified stringed instruments in particular. The instruments manufactured by Beauchamp’s company, the Electro String Instrument Corporation are discussed as well as difficulties and litigation Beauchamp and his company were faced with while trying to bring the instruments to market. The thesis focuses on the period between the first electrification of a fretted string instrument in 1890, and the conclusion of “the Miessner matter” (a period of prolonged threatened legal action against Electro String and other electric guitar manufacturers) in 1939. The thesis also considers competing pickup systems that emerged in the wake of Beauchamp's invention.

Abstract:
Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Filosofia<br>Na sexta edição obra Principles of Biomedical Ethics, como nas edições anteriores, Beauchamp e Childress apresentam-nos uma análise detalhada de cada um dos princípios prima facie centrais no debate bioético, assim como os problemas éticos que cada um desses princípios envolve, e propõem um modelo para as situações morais mais difíceis, onde se verifiquem conflitos entre princípios. Tendo em consideração a complexidade da aplicação concreta de cada um dos princípios propostos, procurar-se-á, com o presente trabalho, mostrar não só o processo reflexivo que envolve a “especificação” e a “ponderação” de princípios, mas também mostrar de que modo estes procedimentos se revelam essenciais à vida moral. Neste contexto passar-se-á de questões como, por exemplo, a do respeito pela autonomia, para os problemas do consentimento informado e do paternalismo médico; das diferenças entre os princípios da não-maleficência e da beneficência para os dilemas entre autonomia e beneficência; do princípio da justiça para o problema da justa distribuição de recursos na assistência à saúde.

Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Geology<br>Matthew W. Totten<br>A 3D seismic survey was conducted on Beauchamp, Beauchamp North and Beauchamp Northwest fields, which are located in Stanton County, southwest Kansas, by Berexco, Inc. Stanton County is situated on the Hugoton embayment which is the shelf of the Anadarko basin. The producing formation in this area is the Morrow formation, which is the lower Pennsylvanian period. The Morrow formation is mostly a clastic unit and its base was transgressive marine. It is considered an unconformity lying on the Mississippian rocks. Wide geologists agreed with the name of Morrow as name in the rock stratigraphic sequence in the study area (Forgotson, et al., 1966). "The Morrowan series is defined as the interval between the base of the Atokan Thirteen finger limestones and the top of the pre-Pennsylvanian unconformity" (Puckette, et al., 1996). The depositional environment of upper Morrow Formation in western Kansas, according to Sonnenberg (1985), Krystinik et al (1990), was a valley-fill deposit. The purpose of this study is to focus on detecting valley-fill sandstone in the study area by using appropriate seismic attributes. Coherence and discontinuity along dip succeeded to map incised valley-fill sandstone width. On another hand, spectral decomposition displayed subtle changes in incised valley thickness. Positive curvature shows valley edges in moderate resolution, but the most negative curvature wasn't clear enough to display the valley-fill sand. The result of RMS amplitude and average energy attributes results were almost the same. They exhibited four areas of high amplitude and energy in the valley which may indicate the presence of hydrocarbon. Sweetness and envelope amplitude both detected the valley in the study area. A gamma ray cross section shows that there are sequences of incised valley-fill sandstone which are sandstone A, B, C and D of the upper Morrow formation. Johns 2-12 well is producing oil from lower Morrow and sandstone A, thus the valley in the study area may produce oil from Sandstone A or B as RMS amplitude and average energy showing high amplitude in four areas in the valley.

Abstract:
The aim of this essay is to investigate the ethical issues that permeated the carbohydrate experiment that was going on at Vipeholm's hospital for "uneducable insane" in Sweden. The material about the experiment is taken from Elin Bommenel's dissertation The Sugar Experiment: The Caries Experiments 1943–1960 at Vipeholm Hospital for the Insane. To create understanding, Beauchamp and Childress´s four ethical principles, which are used as ethical guidelines in health care, were used in the analysis of the experiment. The four principles are the principle of nonmaleficence, the principle of respect for autonomy, the principle of beneficence and the principle of justice. The analysis based on the four principles showed that the Vipeholme experiment is complex to understand as Beauchamp and Childress's principles provided a picture of the research which from many aspects cannot be seen as ethically correct. From other aspects, however, some elements can be supported by Beauchamp and Childress. The researchers had the task of investigating caries that would successfully help many people. Based on the principle of beneficence, one could imagine that the researchers acted correctly, but had no respect for the patients' autonomous decisions. The two principles are then in conflict with each other, something that critics of Beauchamp and Childress point out as a shortcoming.

Abstract:
Este trabalho analisa a obra historiográfica de Alphonse de Beauchamp (1767-1832) a partir da qual examina as transformações ocorridas na maneira de escrever história no início do século XIX. Historiador orientado para o grande público, sua obra inscreve-se no contexto político restauracionista, em que se buscava reconstruir a memória da revolução francesa e legitimar os interesses monárquicos. Tal posicionamento político o levou a se interessar pela história da Monarquia portuguesa, e particularmente sobre o episódio da transferência da Corte para o Rio de Janeiro em 1808. A história do Brasil de Alphonse de Beauchamp deveria servir de contraponto ao destino das ex-colônias espanholas durante o processo de Independência nas primeiras duas décadas do século XIX. O historiador francês valeu-se, igualmente, dos historiadores da antiguidade, para escrever suas memórias sobre a França do seu tempo, assim como para reconstituir a história do Brasil. Contudo, os modelos da historiografia clássica já não supriam as exigências por novas maneiras de representar e narrar o passado, de tal forma que sua obra veio a ser confundida com a prática de plágio, caindo no descrédito dos historiadores e eruditos.<br>This dissertation investigates the work of historiography of Alphonse de Beauchamp (1767-1832) from which examines the transformations in the way of writing history in the early nineteenth century. Historian oriented to the general public, his work falls into the political restorationist, which sought to reconstruct the memory of the French Revolution and legitimate interests monarchists. This political stance led him to become interested in the history of the Portuguese monarchy, and particularly on the episode of the transfer of the Court to Rio de Janeiro in 1808. Brazil\'s history of Alphonse de Beauchamp should serve as a counterpoint to the fate of former Spanish colonies during the Independence on the first two decades of the nineteenth century. The French historian took advantage also of the historians of antiquity to write his memoirs about his time in France, as well as to reconstruct the history of Brazil. However, the models of classical historiography no longer meet the demands for new ways of representing and narrating the past, so that his work came to be confused with the practice of plagiarism, falling into disrepute by historians and scholars.

Full text
Abstract:
<p>The intimate connection between autonomy and decision-making in applied health care, especially in various kinds of consent and refusal has taken center stage in medical ethics since the Salgo decision in 1957. Prior to that time, the physician’s supposedly moral duty to provide appropriate medical care typically surpassed the legal obligation to respect patient’s autonomy. The Salgo decision concluded that physicians have a legal duty to provide facts necessary for the patient to make an informed decision. "The doctor knows best" long ago was replaced with "The doctor proposes; the patient disposes." There is no legal obligation for the patient’s choice to be palatable to anyone, other than that patient himself/herself. Although Beauchamp and Childress justified the obligation to solicit decisions from patients and potential research subjects by the principle of respect for autonomy, they however, acknowledged that the principle’s precise demands remain unsettled and open to interpretations and specification. This thesis addresses a current debate in the bioethical community on the four-principle approach. Using Tom Beauchamp and James Childress as case study, to discuss mainly the principle of respect for autonomy, I go on to explain their central arguments concerning this principle in relation to decision making in health care ethics. Rather than focus on their respective weaknesses, which many theorist and health care professionals do, I emphasis instead on the contribution the principle of respect for autonomy can make in the process of ethical decision making in health care situation.</p>

Full text
Abstract:
<p>The object of this thesis is the foundation of ethics. The question is whether there exists a universal core to ethics consisting of a fundamental ethical principle across cultures. This principle could for example be the so-called Golden Rule, which goes as follows: ‘You should do to others what you want them to do to you’. The Golden Rule is to be found in many of the world’s religions and is also reflected in secular society. The rule can for example be found in a political version in legal declarations e.g. the Humans Rights Declaration of 1948. There are philosophersand scientists who interpret the Golden Rule secularly. If one looks at the Golden Rule from a non-religious point of view, it can be understood for instance in the following ways: 1) As a rule which is followed to fulfil self-interest and 2) As a rule concerning role reversal. In this thesis we will go into detail on these two interpretations of the Golden Rule, because as we will see, they can be seen as two very different views of human nature. We will discuss which of the two interpretations of the Golden Rule is most adequate in connection with the description of human beings as moral agents having reason, motives, freedom and responsibility. Furthermore we will focus on the Golden Rule in a Nordic context, in this connection we will look at whether the Golden Rule corresponds to the four bioethical principles presented by the two American philosophers Tom L. Beauchamp and James F. Childress. These principles are the principle of respect for autonomy, the principle of nonmaleficence, the principle of beneficence and the principle of justice. According to the Danish physician Henrik R. Wulff one cannot use Beauchamp and Childress’ bioethical principles as a tool for solving ethical problems in the North, because they do not correspond to the Golden Rule. Wulff argues that the Golden Rule is a moral ideal within the health services in the Nordic countries. The purpose of the thesis is, among others, to analyse and discuss whether the four bioethical principles are implicitly contained within the Golden Rule and whether Beauchamp and Childress’ method can be used to analyse bioethical problems in a Nordic context. Finally, we will set forth an ethical assessment of a treatment within biomedicine. As an example of the application of the four bioethical principles, we will look at whether human somatic gene therapy is an ethical acceptable treatment. Thus my thesis is that the Golden Rule can be viewed as a fundamental ethical principle across cultures and that Beauchamp and Childress’ four bioethical principles correspond to the Golden Rule. That is, I think there is a reason to maintain, that the bioethical principles can be of use for solving bioethical problems across cultures.</p>

À travers cette expérience de création, notre objectif était de montrer les différences entre les deux styles ainsi que leur courbe évolutive. Pour y arriver, nous avons pris comme point de départ un poème dans le style plus traditionnel de la poésie. À partir de ce texte « sacrifié » (selon la méthode mise en place durant les soirées de Slam), nous avons donc organisé les poèmes en suivant notre adaptation aux exigences du slam de poésie et du spoken word poetry. À travers ce travail, nous avons aussi dressé un plan thématique pour compléter l’organisation du recueil. La seconde partie est composée de deux chapitres. Le premier est une étude théorique sur les différences entre les deux styles de poésie : il serait alors question de l’évolution progressive d’une poésie orale vers une autre en plus des orientations prises par chacune au fil des années. Comme genre littéraire, le spoken word, qui reste plus près des sources, est beaucoup plus libre que le Slam, qui s’implante dans le milieu actuel avec ses thèmes et doit suivre les règles rigides de la compétition. Le deuxième chapitre est un retour réflexif sur ma propre création à partir des notions vues au premier chapitre. Il explique en profondeur l’organisation de mon recueil de même que le plan thématique de ses deux parties.

Abstract:
Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction From the postmodern ethical perspective [the postmodernist would say Jrom the ethical perspective], there is something suspicious and inherently unethical in a system of ethics supported by a comprehensive, cohesive and universal metanarrative, a set of fixed and unbending ethical rules and laws, without the ready possibility of revision [Cilliers, 1998, pp.114, 137-140; Cilliers, 2001, p. 3; Cilliers, 1995, p.125]. Based on the ideas of especially Winkler [1993, pp. 343-365] I have concluded that contemporary mainstream biomedical ethics, represented and directed by the work of Beauchamp and Childress [1994] are caught in such a crush. The primary objective of this assignment is to evaluate the 'principles' of biomedical ethics [respect Jar autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice] which were developed in their water-shed publication [Principles of Biomedical Ethics, Oxford University Press, first published in 1979, and now in a fifth edition, 2002] against a background of postmodern ethics. Methodology and conclusions I have argued that Beauchamp and Childress' conception of principlism is a contextual legalistic-philosophical response to the contemporary American situation, developed primarily from legal decisions [often litigation]. It may be regarded as acceptable practice guidelines, but represents a system of ethics without morality. I have given a concise rendering of Winkler's notion of context-based bioethics with the criticism that this also does not guarantee morality. Following that, there is a description of postmodern society in terms of complexity theory. I have indicated how the characteristics of complexity can be developed and applied contextually in bioethics. The postmodern moral society is the locus where morality develops in a non-controllable agonistic interactive process within which the postmodern moral agent unintentionally finds himself. The postmodern ethical position is not an unethical, come-as-you-may anything-goes position; it simply is not predictable, controllable, universal, rational [in a Kantian context] and eternal. Modernity, it can be argued exhibits a far greater degree of relativism. The postmodern ethical position represents a return to morality in ethics, morality of a very personal, face-to-face responsibility from which we as participants of society cannot hide. From a postmodern ethical perspective, an analysis of principlism and its underlying principles exhibits the characteristics of modernity: eternal moral rules which as such cannot be presented as morality. I have acknowleged Beauchamp and Childress' attempts at adding morality to their conception [in the 4th edition] by means of employing character ethics. They have nevertheless not made any radical changes in the format of their presentation and maintain the central and primary role of principles. I have also argued the limitations of the postmodern approach in terms of enclaves of strictly controlled modernity and artificial witholding of information in medicine which limit the free flow of information essential to the postmodern approach. My conception of complexity and the postmodern approach do not pretend to be a panacea for biomedical ethics. It attempts to redefine the meaning of morality in bioethics and questions the unbridled application of this conception of principIism. Finally I have discussed the burning issue of justice in the practice of medicine from the postmodern perspective. Do I as a person have a right to health care; what are the moral issues of dealing with 'life's lotteries'; what is the state's responsibility in health care, and: what are my personal responsibilities in health care? In contradistinction to libertarian concepts, the postmodern approach clearly argues in favour of the acceptance by the state of its role in health care [a responsibility abrogated in many societies, none more so than contemporary South-African society].<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Inleiding Daar IS uit die perspektief van die postmoderne etiese standpunt [die postmodernis sou sê, uit die etiese perspektiej], iets verdags, iets inherent oneties aan 'n sisteem van etiek wat 'n enkele goed omskrewe, kohese en omvattende universele metanarratief voorhou, 'n stel vaste en onbuigsame etiese reëls en wette voorskryf en afdwing sonder om konteks en gevolge te oorweeg, en sonder die geredelike moontlikheid van revisie [Cilliers, 1998, pp.114, 137-140; Cilliers, 2001, p. 3; Cilliers, 1995, p.125]. Dit is, n.a.v. die denke van veral Winkler [1993, pp. 343-365] my oortuiging dat die hoofstroom-denke in biomediese etiek in so 'n drukgang vasgevang is, en verteenwoordig word en gerig is deur die denke van Beauchamp en Childress [1994]. Hierdie werkstuk gaan in hoofsaak daarom om Beauchamp en Childress se toepassing van die beginsels van biomediese etiek soos sedert 1979 in hul waterskeidingsboek 'Principles of Biomedical Ethics' [Vierde uitgawe, Oxford University Press, 1994; daar is nou ook 'n vyfde, 2002] uiteengesit, ontwikkel, bespreek en gepropageer [respek vir outonomie, weldadigheid, non-kwaadwilligheid en geregtigheid] teen die agtergrond van 'n postmoderne etiese beskouing te evalueer. Metodologie en gevolgtrekkings Ek het in hierdie werkstuk aangetoon dat Beauchamp en Childress se weergawe van prinsiplisme 'n kontekstuele wetlik-filosofiese reaksie op die kontemporêre Amerikaanse situasie is, hoofsaaklik uit regsaksie [dikwels litigasie] voortvloei, as goeie praktyksriglyne beredeneer kan word maar etiek sonder moraliteit verteenwoordig. Ek het 'n kort uiteensetting van Winkler se weergawe van 'n konteks-gebaseerde benadering gegee, maar aangetoon dat ook dit nie moraliteit waarborg nie. Daarop het ek 'n beskrywing van die postmoderne samelewing n.a.v. kompleksiteitsteorie gegee, en aangetoon hoe die eienskappe van kompleksiteit kontekstueelontwikkel kan word om in bioetiek toegepas te word. Die postmoderne gepostuleerde morele gemeenskap is die lokus waar moraliteit ontstaan deur 'n onbeheerbare agonistiese proses van interaktiewe wisselwerking waarby die postmoderne morele agent homself onwillekeurig betrokke vind. Die postmoderne etiese posisie is nie onetiese, lukraak, doen-soos-jy-wil relativisme nie; dit is bloot nie 'n voorspelbare, ewige, beheerbare, universele en [Kantiaans-] rasionele sisteem nie; moderniteit is [was?] in effek veel meer relativisties. Die postmoderne etiese standpunt verteenwoordig in my interpretasie 'n terugkeer tot moraliteit in etiek, moraliteit van 'n persoonlike, ingrypende, verantwoordelike aangesigtot- aangesig aard waaraan ons nie kan ontkom nie. Vanuit 'n postmoderne etiese perspektief het ek 'n analise van prinsiplisme en die individuele beginsels gemaak, en aangetoon dat hulle die eienskappe van die 'ewige morele reëls' van moderniteit openbaar en nie sonder meer as morele beredenering voorgehou kan word nie. Ek het erkenning gegee aan Beauchamp en Childress se eie pogings om dit te besweer deur karakteretiek as 'n essensiële tot hul formule toe te voeg, maar die kritiek uitgespreek dat hulle desnieteenstaande hierdie belangrike erkenning, nie bereid is om die formaat van hul aanbieding [ook in die jongste vyfde uitgawe, 2002] radikaal te wysig nie. Hulle oorbeklemtoon die beginsels steeds as sentraal en primêr. Terselfdertyd het ek die beperkings van die postmoderne benadering uitgelig, veral in terme van enklawes van streng-beheerde moderniteit in geneeskunde en 'n kunsmatige weerhouding van die vrye vloei van informasie wat kompleksiteit en die postmoderne situasie kenmerk. My konsepsie hou nie kompleksiteit en 'n postmoderne benadering voor as 'n panakeia vir biomediese etiek nie; dit dien eerder om die betekenis van moraliteit in bioetiek te herdefinieer en die kontemporêre algemene en ongekwalifseerde toepassing van hierdie weergawe van prinsiplisme te bevraagteken. Laastens het ek die brandende vraag van geregtigheid in die praktyk van geneeskunde vanuit 'n postmoderne perspektief bespreek, veral of ek as persoon kan aanspraak maak op 'n reg tot gesondheidsorg, die morele implikasies van 'life's lotteries', die staat se verantwoordelikheid in gesondheidsorg en les bes, persoonlike verantwoordelikheid in gesondheidsorg. Dit is duidelik dat 'n postmoderne benadering tot bioetiek, in teenstelling met libertêre konsepsies, die staat se rol in gesondheidsorg onderskryf ['n rol wat die staat byna universeel, en veral in Suid-Afrika, verwaarloos].

A dicotomia “matar”/”deixar morrer” tem sido a mais utilizada para separar moralmente a actuação médica nas situações de fim de vida. Se “matar” é tradicionalmente visto como um acto proibido, “deixar morrer” pode, em determinadas circunstâncias, ser um comportamento moralmente admissível. Ao longo do tempo foram propostos vários critérios de diferenciação que permitissem distinguir moralmente as duas situações. Veremos quais foram, os pressupostos em que assentam e as críticas de que foram alvo. Seguidamente, analisaremos a forma como Beauchamp e Childress abordam esta questão na sua obra de referência, Principles of Biomedical Ethics.<br>The dichotomy between “killing”/"letting die” has been the most common way to morally distinguish medical practices in end of life scenarios. If “killing” has traditionally been seen as an illegal act, than "letting die” may, under certain circumstances, be morally allowed. Over the years, there have been several varying criteria proposed to morally distinguish between such situations. We will look at which ones, the assumptions on which they are based and the reviews they received. Afterwards, we will analyze how Beauchamp and Childress discussed this question in their reference work, the Principles of Biomedical Ethics.

The purpose of this dissertation is to identify some of the most pressing problems in the dominant contemporary approach to research ethics, and to devise an alternative approach that avoids these problems. I contend that the fundamental ethical values invoked in human research are often appealed to in contradictory or ambiguous ways, or in ways that do not adequately capture or do not show an adequate understanding of the specific ethical concerns of human research. One significant problem in this domain is that values for ethical research are often unreflectively imported from medical therapy, producing ill-suited guidelines that cannot capture the different ethical situations that arise in the context of research. Furthermore, ethical guidelines in this area are often not developed with a sufficient understanding of the deep philosophical issues that they invoke. I suggest that we can address these problems through examining the fundamental ethical concerns of research on a philosophical level. This method will reveal severe problems with the approach to two of the ethical values underlying research; beneficence and respect for autonomy (or respect for persons). Once the nature of these problems has been revealed, and with reference to ethical problems that typically arise in the domain of research, I construct a coherent philosophical foundation for research ethics, which both avoids these deep-seated problems and better captures the ethical issues that arise in the domain of human research. I argue that we need to radically depart from the values of beneficence and autonomy/respect for persons as they are currently understood in the guidelines. We need an idea of beneficence that is clearly distinct from that which is used in the therapeutic medical context from which this notion is currently drawn. I also contend that we need to move away from autonomy as a central value in research ethics. I posit an alternative choice-based approach to informed consent which is concerned both with respecting agents’ freedom of choice, and also with their wellbeing, as providing a good means of protecting and promoting the interests of the individual research subject. Although these two imperatives are often thought to clash on a fundamental level, I will show that, in research ethics, they can be reconciled with minimal conflict. Though this represents a departure from the ethics of medical therapy, this approach is far more suited to the context of research. This theoretical basis for informed consent can help to clarify the ethical problems that are specific to this domain and provide us with relevant ethical guidance in research ethics.
