Abstract:

The monograph is devoted to the study of entropy, the history of this general scientific category, the development of its theory, various aspects of the application of entropy. Entropy — a measure of chaos — is one of the basic concepts of modern natural science. Having arisen in thermodynamics in the first half of the XIX century, the concept of entropy has found numerous applications in many branches of knowledge, including in other branches of physics, engineering, computer science, biology, economics, social sciences. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of views on the concept of

The benefit of prolonged application of moderate-dose corticosteroids in systemic inflammatory diseases remains controversial. In critical illness, the endogenous cortisol effect may become insufficient due to adrenal dysfunction and corticosteroid resistance to counterbalance an exaggerated and protracted inflammatory response, which has been termed ‘critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency’ (CIRCI). There is evidence that moderate-dose hydrocortisone (200–300 mg/day) significantly fastens shock reversal in patients with septic shock, but may improve survival probably only in pat

Given the increased focus on school and teacher accountability, there also has been an increased demand for intervention programs that may effectively reduce levels of problem behavior in school settings.

In particular, it compares Peirce’s conceptions of pragmatism with James’s view that the pragmatic method would allow us to resolve many disputes in philosophy, and argues that their difference

The evidential standard captured by Preponderance of the Evidence is usually glossed as ‘greater than 0.5 given the admissible evidence’.

Abstract:

Explanations of child sex abuse typically focus on the offenders’ presumed pathological dispositions that are seen to drive their offending behavior, and pay little attention to the role played by opportunity and other situational factors. It is argued in this chapter that child sexual abuse, like all behavior, is the product of a person-situation interaction and as such can be analysed using the theories and approaches of environmental criminology. Child sexual abuse is found to occur in contexts where potential victims can be easily accessed and where personal, social, situational, and legal

Abstract:

Abstract Over the past few years, ‘fashion law’ has emerged as a vibrant field of inquiry. But what is fashion law? And what are the specific legal challenges facing the fashion sector, as well as related solutions? This book seeks to answer these questions by bringing together multiple voices, approaches, and jurisdictions. The book is organized into four thematic areas. Part I considers the legal infrastructure or the fashion and luxury industries, addressing issues related to intellectual property (IP) as well as the demands of the circular economy, protection of cultural heritage, and free

Abstract:

Tiny microfossils called Foraminifera form calcium carbonate shells that record the δ18O composition of the seawater in which they grew. These microfossils are found in sea bed sediment cores, and a lot of information from these oxygen isotope records can be extracted. ‘Reconstructing the past and weathering the future’ looks at the methodology used in palaeoclimate studies and explains gain and phase modelling and Milankovitch orbital cycles. Similar isotope temperature records have been constructed from polar ice cores. Atmospheric CO2 composition can be reconstructed from the amount of CO2

Abstract:

Part II of the book reflects on the authors’ efforts to use simple dynamic general equilibrium models to analyse monetary policy issues facing countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This overview explains the genesis of this research agenda, both in terms of the approach and the choice of topics. Experience in the operational aspects of the IMF’s work suggested that better policy analysis—including with respect to the response to supply shocks, exchange rate management, and the modernization of policy regimes—would benefit from greater use of these models, suitably adjusted to incorporate structural

This chapter focuses on Joint Operating Agreements (JOAs). A JOA is an agreement between two or more companies which defines their respective rights and obligations in the exploration of a hydrocarbon project. The purpose of the JOA is for the participating companies to share risks (costs) and rewards (revenues) in relation to the project, and to define their respective roles. Among other things, the chapter discusses leading model form JOAs, as well as the interpretation and application of clauses typically found in JOAs, such as exculpatory or liability limitation clauses, pre-emption clause

Abstract:

This chapter traces the doctrine of reparation in contemporary international law and, in particular, in investment treaty arbitration. It discusses in detail the two significant developments which mark the evolution of the doctrine of reparation during the 20th century: the decision of the Permanent Court of International Justice in the Factory at Chorzów case, and the work of the International Law Commission (ILC) on the law governing the responsibility of States for internationally wrongful acts, which culminated in draft articles adopted by the UN General Assembly and recommended to States.

This chapter is a reflection upon the theoretical explorations of the powers of miniature things and fragmented things that form the core of this volume. In response, the author offers an interpretive analysis of imbricated agencies of scales, spaces, representations, and objects in one particular social landscape of the ancient Near East: Persepolis. This was the heartland capital of the Achaemenid Persian Empire in southwest Iran, founded by Darius I “the Great.” In this chapter, the author explores how scale works at the site writ large, placing its majestic official buildings embellished w

Abstract:

Prioritarianism is an ethical theory that gives extra weight to the well-being of the worse off. In contrast, dominant policy-evaluation methodologies, such as benefit-cost analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, and utilitarianism, ignore or downplay issues of fair distribution. Based on a research group founded by the editors, this important book is the first to show how prioritarianism can be used to assess governmental policies and evaluate societal conditions. This book uses prioritarianism as a methodology to evaluate governmental policy across a variety of policy domains: taxation, healt
