Abstract:
From the late Sixties on, industrial development in Italy evolved through the spread of small and medium sized firms, aggregated in district networks, with an elevated propensity to enterprise and the marked presence of owner-families. Installed within the local systems, the industrial districts tended to simulate large-scale industry exploiting lower costs generated by factors that were not only economic. The districts are characterised in terms of territorial location (above all the thriving areas of the North-east and Centre) and sector, since they are concentrated in the "4 As" (clothing-fashion, home-decor, agri-foodstuffs, automation-mechanics), with some overlapping with "Made in Italy". How can this model be assessed? This is the crucial question in the debate on the condition and prospects of the Italian productive system between the supporters of its capacity to adapt and the critics of economic dwarfism. A dispassionate judgement suggests that the prospects of "small is beautiful" have been superseded, but that the "declinist" view, that sees only the dangers of globalisation and the IT revolution for our SMEs is risky. The concept of irreversible crisis that prevails at present is limiting, both because it is not easy either to "invent", or to copy, a model of industrialisation, and because there is space for a strategic repositioning of the district enterprises. The book develops considerations in this direction, showing how an evolution of the district model is possible, focusing on: gains in productivity, scope economies (through diversification and expansion of the range of products), flexibility of organisation, capacity to meld tradition and innovation aiming at product quality, dimensional growth of the enterprises, new forms of financing, active presence on the international markets and valorisation of the resources of the territory. It is hence necessary to reactivate the behavioural functions of the entrepreneurs.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter discusses the considerable research that has identified distinct functional circuits linking frontal cortex with the basal ganglia in the control of goal-directed and habitual actions. OCD is characterized by hyperactivity in a circuit involving some of these regions. Recent accounts of the interaction of goal-directed actions and habits suggest that these control processes interact hierarchically, so one alternative to current theories is that OCD reflects a dysfunction in this interactive process resulting in dysregulated action selection, whether that selection is driven by the outcome itself or by cues predicting the outcome. Importantly, it appears that both sources of action selection depend on the OFC—outcome based retrieval on the medial OFC and cue-related retrieval on the lateral OFC. From this perspective, therefore, hyperactivity of the OFC could produce both elevated outcome retrieval and increased responsiveness to outcomes-related cues, resulting in dysregulated action selection and compulsive action initiation as a consequence.

Abstract:
The concept of literary style is joined, on the one hand, with grammatical and prosodic constraints and, on the other hand, with the large-scale dramatic construction of character and action: mimesis. The latter, however, depends on the former. Whereas, dramatic mimesis is an ‘imitation’ or modelling from without, literary style radiates from within the mimetic and lets it appear. We may therefore think of a succession of mimetic styles in Shakespeare’s career which are different modes of bringing character and action to appearance: elevated, articulated, reticulated, saturated, and evacuated.

Mevorach, Irit. Modified Universalism as Customary International Law. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198782896.003.0003.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter considers how modified universalism may be elevated from a broad approach to a recognized, international legal source that can be invoked and applied in a more concrete and consistent manner across legal systems in circumstances of international insolvencies. It draws from sources of international law and, specifically, the concept of customary international law (CIL). CIL is a key legal source that fills gaps in international treaties, influences treaty regimes, and regulates in areas not covered by treaties or by other instruments or regarding countries that are not parties to a treaty or to another regime. CIL is also useful as a debiasing mechanism because its application does not require active action by all participants. The chapter suggests how modified universalism can transform into CIL. It also highlights the prominent international role of private international law and, thus, the role of actors and participants in international insolvencies as creators and guardians of international law.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the question of how an authoritarian Arab state enables or encumbers Islamist mobilization. It elucidates a different model of state action—different in both content and form: in what policies are pursued and in how they are implemented. The chapter suggests that the Moroccan state under King Mohammed VI has not simply elevated one Islamist group at the expense of the other, but rather, it has aimed to impede and impel distinct forms of activism within groups—in this case, attempting to draw new divides between religious and political modes of activism. These are policies that can be understood not simply by the old theory of divide and conquer, but by one more aptly conceptualized as selective suppression.

Abstract:
This study moves to the local level to offer a close investigation of just how the national nature protection policy, examined in Chapter 2, was implemented on the ground. The Wanglang Reserve, in Pingwu county of northern Sichuan province, became the first space demarcated as a panda reserve and thus the first experiment in engaging local people in the national cause of panda protection. Local bureaucrats, villagers of the Baima ethnic group, and scientists grappled over their individual interpretations of the panda’s elevated status as a protected species. By studying the actions of these groups, I demonstrate the interactive nature of their efforts to define China’s natural environment and the panda’s role in society during the 1960s.

Abstract:
Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary, patient-centred, evidence-based process to promote healing, restore function, and promote independence. The physical and psychological and social consequences of the hand condition or injury have to be considered. Mobilization can be active or passive, supplemented by accessory movements and proprioceptive rehabilitation. Splinting may be static, serial static, static progressive, dynamic. Many materials are available. Oedema may be acute or chronic; it is treated with elevation, active movement, retrograde massage, compression, kinesiotaping, cold therapy, and contrast bathing. Scars may be mature or immature; keloid or hypertrophic. Management is generally empiric: massage, silicone, pressure therapy, steroid injections, and surgery all have roles. Hypersensitivity (allodynia, causalgia, dysaesthesia, hyperpathia, etc.) is treated with desensitization, graded textures, percussion, and mirror visual feedback. Stiffness is managed especially by prevention; movement, splinting, and surgery have a role. Pain is treated with medication, oedema control, acupuncture, TENS, education, psychological measures. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome has sensory, vasomotor, sudomotor, and trophic elements. Treatment includes medication, hand therapy, and occasionally surgery.

Abstract:
Medical errors were recently identified as the third leading cause of death in the United States. Many of these errors result from deficiencies in nontechnical skills (NTS), including effective communication and appropriate task delegation. Rapid response teams (RRTs) operate in error-prone, high-stakes environments where elevated clinical risk, substantial time pressure, and the need to perform multiple actions in parallel coexist. Borrowing from the aviation industry and the military, medicine is placing a growing emphasis on instructing healthcare providers, particularly members of teams, in the NTS of crisis management. Barriers to developing these skills can be overcome through encouraging standardization and practice using realistic simulation. When directing a team in the care of a deteriorating patient, RRT leaders must introduce team members and their roles, maintain an assertive yet inclusive tone, practice closed loop communication, control the crowd, maintain situational awareness, promote a flattened hierarchy, and perform regular debriefing sessions.

Abstract:
Autonomic dysreflexia (AD), a potentially emergent clinical syndrome that can occur in patients with spinal cord injury, is characterized by a sudden rise in blood pressure caused by uncontrolled sympathetic activation of the autonomic system below the level of the lesion. When caring for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, a pretreatment plan should be in place if an AD episode occurs. Physical manifestations of an AD episode can include headache, flushing, and diaphoresis above the lesion. Treatment should be aimed at identifying and eliminating the trigger stimulus and must be prompt to avoid serious complications of blood pressure elevation such as seizures, intracranial hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, or even death. When nonpharmacological measures fail, quick-onset, short-acting antihypertensive medications should be given to lower blood pressure.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on orchestrational technique, explaining the role and importance of arrangers and orchestrators. It surveys musical conventions (of timbre, texture, gesture, sonority, and performance style) commonly used to convey each of the four aesthetic parameters introduced in chapter 2 (sensuousness, restraint, elevation, and sophistication). Bringing in noncinematic examples such as songs by the Pet Shop Boys, Joni Mitchell, and Steely Dan, it shows how these glamour conventions remain active in different popular music idioms to the present day. The chapter concludes by noting that glamour, like other style modes, can be played for different effects, including comedy and camp subversion; but it can also be played straight, with no ironic commentary in mind, and it is essential to appreciate when extravagance takes dignified forms.

Full text
Abstract:
Communication between deities and human beings rests on the use of language. Religious language has peculiarities such as the use of a formal voice, reductions in first-person and elevation of third-person pronoun use, archaistic elements, and an abundance of speech acts—features that reflect and facilitate the binding of the individual to conceived ultimate reality and value, decentering the Self while focusing on the deity. Explorations of the neurologic correlates of these cognitive and linguistic processes may be useful to identify constraints on neurocognitive models of religious language, and metaphor. The key brain regions that may mediate religious language include neural networks known to be involved in computational assessments of value, future-oriented simulations, Self-agency, Self-reflection, and attributing intentionality of goals to others. Studies indicate that some of the areas involved in those processes are active during personal prayer, whereas brain regions related to habit formation appear active during formal prayer. By examining religious language, and the brain areas engaged by it, we aim to develop more comprehensive neurocognitive models of religious cognition.

Taking declassified and publicly available sources this book provides an insight into the evolution of the Central Intelligence Agency from 1947 to the Trump Presidency. Focusing on a mix of case studies historic case studies such as The Berlin Tunnel, and The Cuban Missile Crisis. As well as discussing the internal changes and evolution of the organisation from planning covert actions, to adapting to, using and developing technology to aid in intelligence collection and analysis. The book also talks to key individuals that have shaped the organisation at different points in its history as well as how different Presidents have used the Agency to deliver political decisions. The book is balanced in its presentation of successes and failures, the latter often times more well known: Iraq being perhaps the best known example. The use of declassified documentation elevates this from being another history of the Central Intelligence Agency, into an insightful window into a famous yet secret organisation with a global brand.

Full text
Abstract:
When patients conclude active cancer therapy, many experience an elevated degree of awareness and worry about disease recurrence. For most patients, this anxiety is intermittent and tolerable, but for others, it is quite disruptive. Patients’ psychological and cognitive difficulties are not systematically explored during routine medical visits. Receiving the news of cancer recurrence is enormously difficult and so is the disclosure of news for the oncologist. The chapter provides practical tips for disclosing prognostic information. Physicians can and should pay particular attention to patients’ overall quality of life, rather than focusing solely on the medical reality, and strive to balance their own communicative preferences and strategies with the needs of their patients, tailoring their process of disclosing news of recurrence to patients’ expressed preferences in order to facilitate coping and sustain the therapeutic alliance.

Full text
Abstract:
Franklin Roosevelt’s popular appeal is traced to his actions as commander-in-chief, a shorthand for his handling of foreign policy. Norpoth has mined a treasure trove of polls conducted during the 1930’s and 1940’s that probed public opinion about Franklin Roosevelt, foreign and domestic politics, along with party loyalties and electoral choices. FDR won re-election to an unprecedented third term—and then a fourth—because of wartime conditions that highlighted his role as commander-in-chief. FDR’s fabled fireside chats about foreign perils paid off as the American people, in a historic opinion swing, abandoned isolationism and embraced FDR’s policies of aiding France and England in the war with Germany. When it came to his proposals for a massive buildup of the armed forces, the commander in chief was able to count on broad popular support. Those outlays also happened to accomplish what the New Deal had failed to do: vanquish the Depression. FDR’s foreign policy actions in 1940–1941 elevated him to a rare height of popularity. This happened months before the Pearl Harbor attack, which triggered a brief rally. Unlike the experience of nearly all of his successors, FDR’s approval remained unscathed by war and, in particular, the heavy human toll. And finally, it is as a popular commander-in-chief that FDR left behind a G.I generation of loyal Democrats in postwar America, giving that party a commanding role in American politics for decades to come.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that the Filipino Community Center represents a “class project” that not only reveals a repertoire of Filipino identities but also an active confrontation with the group's ethnoracially assigned identity and its political, economic, and social consequences. It analyzes the grand opening ceremonies of the Filipino Community Center and suggests that as a middle class project (with the Filipino Chamber of Commerce a central stakeholder), it emphasizes self-help entrepreneurship and the elevation of business-related “ethnic heroes” as part of the never-ending pursuit of the “American Dream” in a “Land of Immigrants.” The chapter investigates several interrelated issues, namely how those in the middle class shape subjectivity in a community that has been defined and defined itself as impoverished and subaltern, and the various ways Filipinos think about and perform class (via the images, symbols, and ideologies they use) to construct competing visions of “Filipino.”

Abstract:
This chapter examines the elevation of Abraham Lincoln from president to spiritual hero of the Republic, one whom the spiritualists regarded as the embodiment of the spirit of the Union cause. In particular, it considers how the vast majority of active spiritualists came to see Lincoln and his policies as a medium-like conduit to the stated values of the departed founders and a prophet of the nation's future survival. The chapter begins with a discussion of Lincoln's spiritualist proclivities, including his belief that unseen forces shaped our individual destinies, as well as the Lincolns' involvement at the edges of spiritualism in Washington, D.C. It then explores how Lincoln's peculiar leadership as president eased individual spiritualist misgivings about the Civil War and the value of the Union, along with spiritualist' campaigning for Lincoln's reelection in 1864 that also saw the triumph of the Radicals. The chapter concludes with an assessment of Lincoln's assassination in 1865 and his administration's legacy that included the logical possibility of a Radical Republicanism.

Full text
Abstract:
The Anarchical Society with its state-centric conceptualization of world politics may appear ill equipped to account for the increasing influence of non-state actors. However, despite this state-centrism, this chapter argues that Bull’s concept of international society constitutes a useful interpretative framework to account for the discourse and practice of such actors. The essay focuses on the organization Islamic State, which offers an example of how a non-state armed actor can challenge and confront international society, while at the same time engage with and mimic its discursive and material practices. The use of international society’s vocabulary, practices, and institutions constitutes for IS a way to attempt to elevate its status from informal organization to state. However, once established as a para-state entity, IS has engaged in norm contestation whereby it has confronted the Western-centric conception of order of international society and countered it with the ideal of a ‘caliphate’.

Full text
Abstract:
Becoming incarcerated and the challenges associated with incarceration are for most people major life stressors. The development of acute adjustment disorders is very common in these settings. This chapter attempts to give guidance to clinicians who are on the front line in very difficult circumstances. They are often dealing with patients who are overwhelmed with significant adverse life events, whose history reveals that they have dealt with emotional disturbances by acting out, or have struggled with substance abuse for many years. The risk of suicide is a substantial concern, and may be substantially elevated in the presence of an adjustment disorder. Patients present with complex comorbidities, often complicated by substance use disorder and withdrawal. Clinicians often have very little information at their disposal, yet will have to make difficult decisions under pressure. For example, it is often not possible to collect collateral information or previous clinical records. Clinicians are required to balance an empathic approach while maintaining clear boundaries. In addition, the clinician is also required to bear in mind the security constraints of the institution. Often the clinician is working in relative isolation, without the added resources of a multidisciplinary team. In our view, treatment of adjustment disorders in correctional settings requires a keen application of the whole complement of clinical skills. This chapter discusses the presentation, assessment issues, and management concerns of adjustment disorders in jails and prisons.

Full text
Abstract:
This is the first book published in English to provide to an international audience a comprehensive examination of the Italian Constitutional Court (ItCC) and its principal lines of jurisprudence, historical origins, current engagement with transnational European law, organization, and procedures. In global constitutional dialogue, the voice of the ItCC has been entirely absent due to a relative lack of both English translations of its decisions and of focused scholarly commentary in English. The ItCC represents one of the strongest and most successful examples of constitutional judicial review, and is distinctive in its structure, institutional dimensions, and well-developed jurisprudence. Moreover, the ItCC has developed a unique voice among global constitutional actors in its adjudication of a broad range of topics from fundamental rights and liberties to the allocations of governmental power and regionalism. The goal of this book is to elevate Italian constitutional jurisprudence into an active participant role in global constitutional discourse and describe the “Italian style” in global constitutional adjudication. The authors have carefully structured the work to allow the ItCC’s own voice to emerge: it presents broad syntheses of major areas of the Court’s case law, provides excerpts from notable decisions in a narrative and analytical context, addresses the tension between the ItCC and the Court of Cassation, and situates the development, character, and importance of the ItCC’s jurisprudence in the larger arc of global judicial dialogue.

Abstract:
For many organisms there is a fitness advantage to being warm. Many organisms use behavioural thermoregulation to maintain a high body temperature during the day, basking in the sun to warm up and retreating to the shade to avoid overheating. This option is not open to most aquatic organisms, or those living in soil or sediment. It is also generally not possible for small or nocturnal organisms. A small number of active predatory fish utilise a counter-current heat exchanger (rete mirabile) to retain metabolic heat and warm their muscles, brain or eyes. A few have modified optical muscles as heater organs, and a range of plants generate heat to aid dispersal of scent and attract pollinators. A wide range of larger insects use rapid but unsynchronised muscle contraction to elevate their body temperature prior to flight, or other activity. In hot climates organisms may need to dissipate heat to avoid overheating. The major behavioural mechanism is shade-seeking, or for small organisms stilting or climbing onto objects such as plants to move out of the hottest air net to the ground. Larger mammals may tolerate a limited degree of warming during the day, releasing this in the cool of the night. Evaporative cooling is very effective at losing heat, but because it loses valuable water it can only be used sparingly in arid areas.

Abstract:
Durante gran parte del siglo XX, la Carrera Espacial fue elemento de relevancia para los asuntos concernientes a la seguridad y la defensa de los estados. Y si bien, hasta hace muy pocos años, era innegable el monopolio de los Estados Unidos y Rusia por el control del espacio exterior, esta situación ha comenzado a cambiar a medida que las potencias en ascenso -en un sistema internacional dirigido hacia la multipolaridadse embarcan en la investigación, la exploración y la utilización del espacio ultraterrestre. La industria espacial mundial experimenta desde hace una década un crecimiento sin precedentes, hasta el punto que actualmente hay más de 4.000 satélites en órbita. Paralelamente, las inversiones privadas comienzan a sobrepasar a las inversiones de los Estados; hecho éste, que demuestra que la competitividad y la innovación, son factores claves en esta revolución denominada “New Space”. Nunca antes ha existido una mayor oportunidad para que nuevos actores como Colombia, puedan beneficiarse del sector espacial. La evidente urgencia de adoptar una estrategia nacional para el espacio exterior y las demandas conceptuales que ella exige, sumadas a la necesidad práctica de un consenso político para implementar tales ideas, no siempre se logran articular, debido al desconocimiento de los beneficios que ofrecen los activos basados en el espacio. Los satélites de telecomunicaciones, navegación global y observación de la Tierra, y sus aplicaciones derivadas, proporcionan soluciones operativas, datos e información que permiten implementar una amplia gama de actividades contenidas en los planes de Gobierno. En un esfuerzo por elevar la conciencia de nuestra sociedad sobre el impacto que el espacio tiene en nuestra vida diaria, pero, sobre todo, en la calidad de ella; la Fuerza Aérea Colombiana y la Escuela Superior de Guerra, se han unido para presentar esta obra de dos volúmenes, que se constituye en la primera de su clase en el país.
