Full text

Abstract:

Course-focused and comprehensive, the Textbook on series provide an accessible overview of the key areas on the law curriculum. This chapter provides a brief account of a new form of landholding, called ‘commonhold’. Commonhold is a new system of land-holding introduced by Part 1 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, which came into force on 27 September 2004. Commonhold was designed to facilitate freehold ownership of ‘interdependent properties’; that is, individual units such as flats in an apartment building, homes in a retirement village, and workshops or offices on an industrial estate. The chapter discusses the disadvantages of leasehold ownership; how commonhold works; and the current lack of interest in the commonhold system.

Abstract:

Up to now, the discussion has been mainly concerned with Lie groups and their curved analogs, namely, parallelizable manifolds and their curvatures. The problem is to generalize this construction to arbitrary geometric structures. The first step is to study the flat case, and this is the subject of this chapter.

Abstract:

The linear luminance gradient in a circular disk has become a standard example of the “shape from shading cue” in vision science. It is generally supposed to give rise to one of three possible 3D responses, namely “flat” (cue does not work), “cap” (or convexity), or “cup (concavity). From the perspective of ecological optics, there is an infinite set of possibilities, one of which, “saddle,” has—to the best of our knowledge—never been suggested by any human observer. Bayesian convictions do not come to the rescue, because saddles are actually more frequent than caps or cups. The “illusion” is a strong one, because even if we know (e.g., have programmed it) to look at a saddle, we will see a cap (mostly) or cup (sometimes). Thus not only is the shading cue infinitely ambiguous; it is associated with an extreme bias, which might properly be considered an aphasia (soul blindness).

Full text

Abstract:

Inter-organizational networks have proliferated in health systems, as has network research, but coherent explanations relating the varieties of health network to their respective structures, activities and outcomes remain lacking. Focusing on their core productive processes and their governance structures, this chapter contrasts care networks with program networks. It compares these concepts with findings from some primary research on NHS health networks during 2005–10, and notes some implications for network theory and research. NHS networks’ dense, flat structures reflect these networks’ dual function as both care and as program networks. These findings are relevant to the “integrated care” networks developing in many health systems. The development of these networks appears, partly, to be a workaround for the obstacles that market and quasi-market health systems place in the way of coordinating complex care across multiple separate providers.

Abstract:

At times of war and crisis, the focus on territorial and resource-related themes looms large. In recent years, our media outlets have been filled with stories about territorial-ethnic struggles in the Middle East, land purchasing in Africa, food insecurity, and austerity programs throughout the world. ‘It's essential to be geopolitical!’ argues the case for situating geopolitics within everyday contexts and advocates an approach that does not fixate with territorially defined states, big powers, and particular agents like US presidents. Geopolitics is embodied, experiential, and impactful. Objects (e.g. flags) and non-human actors and forces (e.g. hurricanes and ice) should be seen to be operating alongside human agents and agency.

Abstract:

The principles of upper limb reconstruction are to perform careful wound excision, fix the skeleton, reconstruct vessels, nerves, tendons, and bone as required (either immediate or delayed), and to obtain primary healing of the soft tissues with healthy vascularized tissue. This enables early movement—ideally, supervised by hand therapists—and generally results in a good outcome. In particular, delayed healing and immobility can lead to long-term morbidity. We provide a general overview of the principles of surgical incisions in the hand, wound care, and suturing, and discuss the use of skin grafts and flaps in the upper limb. We describe reconstruction of the different areas of the upper limb, along with detailed sections on digital and thumb reconstruction.

Cheng, Russell. The Skew Normal Distribution. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198505044.003.0012.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter considers the univariate skew-normal distribution, a generalization of the normal that includes the normal as a special case. The most natural parametrization is non-standard. This is because the Fisher information matrix is then singular at the true parameter value when the true model is the normal special case. The log-likelihood is then particularly flat in a certain coordinate direction. Standard theory cannot then be used to calculate the asymptotic distribution of all the parameter estimates. This problem can be handled using an alternative parametrization. There is another special case: the half/folded normal distribution. This occurs in the usual parametrization when the shape parameter is infinite. This is not a problem computationally and is easily handled. There are many generalizations to skew-t distributions and to tractable multivariate forms and regression versions. A very brief review is included of these.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter considers three groups of cases that seem to threaten the connection between being in touch and paradigmatic moral goodness. It is argued that, more carefully considered, an appeal to being in touch produces an intuitively acceptable answer in each case. The first group of cases are those in which a compassionate agent encounters a flawed agent such as a sadist, where one might worry that compassion would then amplify or expand those flaws. The second group of cases involve issues where compassion seems insufficient for general moral goodness, or even points in the wrong direction—such as a case in which an agent might compassionately plug other beings into Robert Nozick’s experience machine to make them happy. The third group of cases concerns whether the epistemic importance of compassion is undermined by the possibility of being in touch with other things such as mere objects.

Abstract:

This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the sources most commonly cited concerning the reason why the current paradigm is so focused on territoriality. In particular, attention is given to the Lotus case and the Harvard Draft—the two sources often relied upon without proper analysis. In addition, a broader analysis is provided highlighting that: (1) the territoriality principle cannot alone be the jurisprudential core of jurisdiction; (2) a strict application of territoriality is destructive; (3) State practice has already moved beyond territoriality, territorial sovereignty, and the Harvard Draft principles; (4) the imprecise, and conceptually flawed, concept of extraterritorial jurisdiction undermines territoriality as a concept; (5) territoriality is a component of a dysfunctional system; and (6) the flaws associated with territoriality also impact the offline world of jurisdiction.

Full text

Abstract:

Chapter 7 argues that a legitimate English king, once on the throne, could fulfil the criteria for kingship, including piety, military leadership, character, and behaviour. It considers accounts of King Cnut and King William I as case studies for how a foreigner and conqueror could rule well and legitimately regardless of the circumstances of his assumption of power. It examines the relative importance of faults in critiques of reigning kings, arguing that whereas faults of leadership (especially military leadership, as William of Malmesbury’s critique of Edward the Confessor shows) were inexcusable, personal flaws could be forgiven if the king exerted himself to overcome them. A key implication of this chapter is that the Norman Conquest was not the lens through which the four historians viewed expectations for kings: in their view, the Danish Conquest set the important precedent whereby a foreign conqueror could rule legitimately as a quintessentially English king.

Full text

Abstract:

Chapter abstract This chapter spotlights four transversal principles that undergird and animate Bourdieu’s research practice, and can fruitfully guide inquiry on any empirical front: the Bachelardian imperative of epistemological rupture and vigilance; the Weberian command to effect the triple historicization of the agent (habitus), the world (social space, of which field is but a subtype), and the categories of the analyst (epistemic reflexivity); the Leibnizian-Durkheimian invitation to deploy the topological mode of reasoning to track the mutual correspondences between symbolic space, social space, and physical space; and the Cassirer moment urging us to recognize the constitutive efficacy of symbolic structures. The chapter also flags three traps that Bourdieusian explorers of the social world should exercise special care to avoid: the fetishization of concepts, the seductions of “speaking Bourdieuse” while failing to carry out the research operations Bourdieu’s notions stipulate, and the forced imposition of his theoretical framework en bloc.

Abstract:

This concluding chapter argues that the EuroTragedy was that critics—outsiders and insiders—warned of the euro's economic flaws and the likely political damage it could do. Wrapped in an obsessive groupthink, European leaders portrayed the single currency as a “pro-European” enterprise. However, the euro delivered none of the economic benefits promised. Some analysts had predicted that the euro would cause the share of trade between Eurozone countries to increase; instead, even before the global crisis had started in 2007, the share of within-Eurozone trade had started declining and that tendency accelerated after the crisis began. When the inevitable financial crisis came—first as a global crisis and then as a rolling Eurozone crisis—the euro caused the most damage in the weakest Eurozone countries, widening existing income disparities. The chapter then points to specific measures to improve the functioning of the Eurozone.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the role of expert witnesses in international arbitration, as well as the responsibilities of that role. The roles, functions, and ethical obligations of expert witnesses are still tentatively defined within the realm of international arbitration, but there have been some important regulations and procedures imposed already — the International Bar Association (IBA) Rules of Evidence, for example. This is a significant attempt in regulating the conduct of experts, as well as in laying down the distinctions between party-selected and party-anointed experts, among other innovations. But of course, the legal system employed within the sphere of international arbitration will continue to change in response to unforeseen flaws in entrenched practice — as will be the case for expert witnessing. Perhaps, in order to address one of the possible abuses of the latter, ethical reforms might also be applied to the structure of roles in the courtroom.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter deals with the most important results in SD, namely, the classical solutions of the theory in which the equivalence with (GR) breaks down. Firstly, I study the case of homogeneous but not isotropic cosmologies, known as ‘Bianchi IX’ universes in detail. In this case, each solution that reaches the big bang singularity can be continued uniquely through it, just by requiring continuity of the conformally- and scale-invariant degrees of freedom. The result is a couple of cosmological solutions with opposite orientation glued at the big bang. This result is more general than the homogeneous case, and can be extended to a large class of solutions if the BKL conjecture is valid. In the case of spherically symmetric solutions one has to couple gravity to some form of matter in order to have dynamically non-trivial degrees of freedom. The simplest case is a series of concentric infinitely thin shells of dust in a universe with the topology of a three-sphere. In this case too a departure from the dynamics of (GR) is seen, that manifests itself in a failure of the CMC slicing when one of the shells collapses (no spacetime corresponding to that solution of SD exists). The conformally invariant degrees of freedom, again, seem to still be regular when this happens. In the last part of the chapter I will discuss the sense in which one can talk about asymptotically flat solutions of SD, and past results in this regime.

Abstract:

Earl Eugene Scruggs (1924-2012) came from the hills of North Carolina and learned the banjo from the days he was too small to hold it properly. While still a schoolboy in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, he developed the high-powered three-finger picking method that both him and the banjo famous. At age 21, he joined the founder of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe, on the Grand Ole Opry, completing a sound that Monroe had worked to conceive. Leaving Monroe in 1948, Scruggs and guitarist Lester Flatt started their own group and made recordings including “Foggy Mountain Breakdown.” The lightning-fast banjo instrumental cut a swath through American music, inspiring countless pickers and becoming the “voice” of the business-disrupting 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde. During a long career in music, Scruggs had many famous friends and collaborators. His influence also meant that his Gibson Granada banjo became an icon of American music

Full text

Abstract:

There are five principal domains of elder abuse: physical abuse, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and financial abuse. This chapter discusses the prevalence, prediction, and assessment of elder abuse as well as other factors related to abuse. The incidence of elder abuse is 24 times greater than the number of cases referred to social service, law enforcement, or other legal authorities. Caregiver factors, rather than risk factors associated with the abused elder, may be more important in predicting abuse. Lack of compliance with medical regimens, delay in seeking medical care, disparity in explanations given for injuries, unexplained injuries, and implausible or vague explanations may be warning signs. Elder financial victimization can be classified as door-to-door scams, professional swindles, and caregiver abuse. Elder abuse increases mortality, emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and skilled nursing home placement. The psychiatric assessment may raise red flags of suspected elder abuse and may necessitate reporting to adult protective services. Interventions should be tailored to the circumstances and the resources available.

Full text

Abstract:

The Masterpiece is the tragic story of Claude Lantier, an ambitious and talented young artist from the provinces who has come to conquer Paris and is conquered by the flaws in his own genius. While his boyhood friend Pierre Sandoz becomes a successful novelist, Claude's originality is mocked at the Salon and turns gradually into a doomed obsession with one great canvas. Life - in the form of his model and wife Christine and their deformed child Jacques - is sacrificed on the altar of Art. The Masterpiece is the most autobiographical of the twenty novels in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series. Set in the 1860s and 1870s, it provides a unique insight into his career as a writer and his relationship with Cézanne, a friend since their schooldays in Aix-en-Provence. It also presents a well-documented account of the turbulent Bohemia world in which the Impressionists came to prominence despit the conservatism of the Academy and the ridicule of the general public.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter reviews the literature on body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) by proxy, outlines its clinical presentation using a case example, and describes the currently recommended treatment approach. BDD by proxy is a variant of BDD characterized by a preoccupation with perceived defects or flaws in another person’s appearance. Preoccupations commonly involve a loved one, such as a child or significant other, although any person can be the focus of concern. BDD by proxy is associated with high levels of psychosocial impairment, distress, and shame. Research on BDD by proxy and its treatment is extremely limited. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the gold-standard psychosocial intervention for patients with BDD; however, CBT for BDD does not focus on other persons of concern, nor does it address the interpersonal impairment specific to BDD by proxy. There is some preliminary support for the use of a modified CBT for BDD by proxy, which is described in this chapter.
