Abstract:

<p>Society expects that buildings and other structures are safe for the people who use them or who are near them. The failure of a building or structure is expected to be an extremely rare event. Thus, society implicitly relies on the expertise of the professionals involved in the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the structures it uses.<p>Structural engineers devote all their effort to meeting society’s expectations effi ciently. Engineers and scientists work together to develop solutions to structural problems. Given that nothing is absolutely and etern

Abstract:

This chapter develops an account of how our epistemic expectations of one another bear on epistemic assessment itself. It argues that a failure to live up to the epistemic responsibilities assigned to us in legitimate social practices puts one’s belief at risk of epistemic impropriety. Whether one’s belief is epistemically improper owing to a failure of epistemic responsibility depends on what would have been the case had one fulfilled all of one’s responsibilities. If the result would have been a belief that failed to satisfy what have previously been identified as the core criteria for knowl

Abstract:

Do business schools actually make good on their promises of “innovative,” “outside-the-box” thinking to train business leaders who will put society ahead of money-making? Do they help society by making better business leaders? This book asserts that they do not and they never have. In throwing down a gauntlet on the business of business schools, the book examines the frictions, conflicts, and contradictions at the heart of these enterprises and details the way business schools have failed to resolve them. Beginning with founding of the Wharton School in 1881, the book measures these schools' a

Abstract:

Imprecise language plagues discussions of “anxiety disorders” and other forms of mental illness. For example, failure to clearly distinguish the constructs “fear” and “anxiety” leads to confused interpretations of findings. Moreover, because both terms are most commonly used to refer to subjective experiences, their use in describing both subjective experiences and behavioral and physiological responses that sometimes, but not always, occur with the experiences, is also problematic. The failure of anxiolytic drug development is due in part to unrealistic expectations generated by imprecise use

Abstract:

Postoperative pain management is an important aspect of caring for a surgical patient as inadequate pain control can be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Failure to effectively control postoperative pain is often due to poor communication and poorly coordinated care between the care teams, poor communication with the patient, insufficient education, unrealistic expectations, fear of complications from the pain regimen, inaccurate pain assessment, and limited effective pain treatment modalities. An effective pain management can therefore lead to improved patient comfort, satisf

Abstract:

The breeder's equation often fails when applied to natural populations. In large part, this likely occurs because the assumed trait is not the actual target of selection. A within-generation change in the mean of a suggested target trait can arise as a correlated response from selection acting elsewhere. This chapter examines sources of error in the breeder's equation and approaches that attempt to determine if an assumed trait is actually the true target of selection. It also reviews a number of long-term studies from natural populations and examines possible sources for the failure of most o

Abstract:

Unconscious omissions involve failures to act that occur without an agent’s awareness. How, then, do we determine when an agent has “committed” an unconscious omission? The puzzle is to give an account of how an unconscious nondoing can nevertheless be genuinely reflective of a person’s agency, given the apparent absence of any conscious mental state linking the person to that nondoing. Patricia Smith has argued that the key to resolving this puzzle lies in the fact that unconscious omissions involve violations of or deviations from reasonable expectations within a context, and that such viola

Abstract:

Britain has no formal arbiter of language. There is no British equivalent of the Académie Française. Almost by default, responsibility in this area has fallen to the BBC. All over the world, audiences look to the Corporation to maintain high standards, and are quick to complain if they perceive any failure to meet their expectations. It is a responsibility the organization has acknowledged since its inception. For a BBC journalist, good writing is not a luxury; it is an obligation. It is part of the BBC’s contract with the licence fee payer. The style guide was designed to remind journalists o

Abstract:

This chapter begins by setting out the Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision produced by the Basel Committee in September 1997, reissued in a revised version in October 2006, and further revised in the light of the crisis in 2012. The 2012 revision of these principles focused on four major areas: corporate governance within banks; an obligation on supervisors to ensure that banks are appropriately prepared for resolution; an obligation for supervisors to assess bank risks in the context of the macroeconomic environment; and the idea that supervisors should have higher expectations

This chapter focuses on the history plays. Ascertaining the dominant ways in which the child becomes a demonstrative figure of legacy, responsibility, and failure, Chapter 2 explores the prevalence of young children in Shakespeare’s chronicle history. Focusing on the diminutive figure of the child, this chapter examines how the idea of ‘littleness’ drives the representation of children as innocent, vulnerable, and emotive. Discussing how Shakespeare exploits as well as challenges contemporary and Christian symbols of childhood, the history plays demonstrate a profound investment in the figure

Abstract:

Parents caring for children with special health care needs or long-term disabilities are called to a new level of competence as medical caregivers, often as soon as the child is discharged from the hospital. There is no accepted measure for success with this task, though failure can be met with repeated hospitalization or removal of the child from the home. This chapter evaluates, through parent narratives, how parents obtain and view their competence. Some parents perform in-depth research into their child’s medical problems and achieve a surprisingly high level of knowledge. This is often di

Abstract:

Cartelization has given rise to opposition in the form of anti-party-system or populist parties. While this possibility was clear as early as the 1990s, in the last decade the growth of these parties has led to alarm in some quarters about the continued viability of liberal democratic party government. In contrast to accounts that attribute this rise to the recent policy failures of the political mainstream, this chapter suggests that its roots lie in internal contradictions in the expectations that the parties have raised in the process of cartelization.

The conclusion is that despite relative failures, through protest mobilization and the support of solidaristic social movement organizations, insurgent social movements like the Zapatista movement may be able to survive as salient actors within a new democratic regime and as iconic figures among other social movements around the world.

The Crimean War was a watershed event in Russia; it transformed government and society and ushered in the Great Reforms. Russian subjects mobilized to support the home front came out of the war with an expectation of reciprocity; serfs wanted their freedom, while other social estates saw the potential of civil society. In Crimea and the larger province of Tauride, the war created profoundly negative change. Violence disassembled landscapes and altered topography. It remapped roads, and communication networks. War destroyed industry and agriculture. Most significantly, punitive civilian policie

Having collected several thousand images, Jacobson began to reflect on their raw, informal immediacy alongside the recognition that they comprised an archive of a moment with unquestionable historical significance.

Abstract:

Maternal obesity is the most common pre-existing morbidity in pregnant women in the United Kingdom. Obesity is associated with increased risk of maternal and offspring morbidity and mortality. Increased maternal morbidity is multifactorial. There is an increased incidence of coexisting medical conditions. Adverse physiological changes related to obesity also contribute to risk. In addition to this, there is an increased risk of many complications developing de novo during pregnancy. There are many practical and technical challenges for the multidisciplinary team that must be addressed in order

They apply for civil protection orders and family court orders to help them manage their children’s contact with a violent father, and take special visa pathways to avoid deportation following separation from an abuser. Women are often compelled to interact with law, through their abuser’s myriad legal applica

In the ordinary world, we identify agents whom we blame or hold responsible for a misdeed such as telling a lie, not just by the fact that it was possible for them to have spoken truly—this, in the absence of exemption or excuse—but also by three other presumptive facts. First, that they had a robust capacity to have told the truth; second, that they acted as they did in a context in which we think it was appropriate for anyone, including themselves, to exhort them to tell the truth; and third, that they are suitably reprimanded for not having acted as they were able and exhortable to act.
