Abstract:
I begin by exploring the distinction between the physiologic, quantitative, and qualitative conceptions of futility. I argue that if medical futility is going to be a useful and appropriate normative tool in the medical lexicon, it should not duplicate and confuse judgments which we already have the tools to make. Hence, I distinguish qualitative futility from the concepts of distributive justice, rationing, harm, and insufficient benefit. Lastly, I consider the argument that providing qualitative futility violates professional integrity. Next I consider the claim that futility judgments are a form of unjustified paternalism. I also explore the relationship of physician imposition of values and the ideas of individual patient well-being, and self-determination. I consider an argument put forth by Thomlinson and Brody that futility judgments actually support autonomy, concluding that their argument must be restricted to individuals whose choices can be shown to be inconsistent with their values and aims. Lastly, I provide a comparison of futility judgments and the ordinary/extraordinary distinction which shows futility to be normatively vague and clinically dangerous. Because of the potential for misuse and confusion, I compare futility and rationing judgments. I argue that rationing decisions are necessary but should be explicit rather than disguised as futility. The consequences of failing to adequately distinguish these two are unfairness to individual patients, and harm to the doctor-patient relationship and societal trust of medicine. I detail a number of models of the physician patient relationship and attempt to determine two things: (1) whether these allow for physician authority to withhold qualitatively futile care, and (2) how well these models can answer this question in the absence of an account of the goals of medicine. I conclude that various accounts offer little specific guidance about the physician's right to withhold qualitatively futile treatment. Finally, in chapter seven I attempt to ground the debate about medical futility in the larger context of a debate about the appropriate ends and goals of medicine, arguing that such limits require an extended social dialogue.

Abstract:
The doctrine of informed consent established a distinctive role for both the doctor and the patient, in the doctor-patient relationship. This doctrine, represented by the compound word "informed consent" placed a duty on the physician to "inform" and gave a specific task to the patient "consent." The physician was required to inform the patient to the extent that a reasonable person in that situation would want to be informed. Then the patient had the prerogative of whether to consent or refuse to consent. However, during the late 1980's and early 1900's different clinical situations arose which could not be accommodated by simply giving patients the right to consent or refuse to consent. Situations developed in which health care professionals wanted to refuse to provide treatment on the grounds that further treatment is medically futile and patients' (and/or their families) wanted to insist on treatment claiming that it was not futile and that it served a genuine purpose. Essentially, the informed consent doctrine provided patients with the "negative right" to refuse treatment. The idea of medical futility revealed the limitations of informed consent by demonstrating that some patients also wanted a "positive right" to demand treatment. After analysing this new phenomenon it appears that it is the most recent manifestation of the age-old debate between professional paternalism and patient autonomy. As a result, this thesis analyses the futility debate and then takes a step back in order to evaluate it from the more general perspective of establishing the legitimate domains of both patient and professional authority. Standard approaches to the futility debate generally argue for unilateral decision making authority for either the patient or professional, concerning futility issues. However, the problem with this approach is that it renders the doctor-patient relationship as a zero-sum game; in other words, if one side wins the other side loses. Alternatively, the focus of this thesis is to propose a model of professional and patient authority which allows each party substantial decision-making authority but is also mutually supportive. Therefore, this new approach to the futility debate, and indeed the doctor-patient relationship in general, is undertaken with the intention of preventing these types of disputes from arising, rather than attempting to resolve the conflict once it is fully developed.

Abstract:
While the concept of medical futility has existed for as long as medicine has been practiced, it remains a controversial issue that has become more clouded as medicine has advanced. This thesis will explore futility in the most technologically rich and emotionally charged of settings, the intensive care unit. The complex interactions of biology, ethics and the law, with their competing and sometimes conflicting interests will be explored. Disputes between patients, families and health care workers over life-sustaining interventions occur most often in the ICU, and the factors that influence this dynamic, such as lack of communication, time constraints, media-driven misconceptions and value-conflicts, will be examined. Attempts to address futility through advance health directives and conflict resolution policies will be critiqued. But most importantly, this thesis will explain, by appealing to the proper goals of medicine, why limitations should be placed on end-of-life care, and why physicians have an important role to play in making these determinations.

Abstract:
The Financial Crisis which began in 2007/2008 remains the most severe since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It exposes the inherent dangers of unregulated markets and highlights the weaknesses of the corporate governance system that has been constructed and determined by the shareholder primacy theory. The crisis sparked and intense debate on the causes and the response needed to correct the largely dysfunctional governance, legal and regulatory regime that has characterised the pre-crisis corporate governance landscape. In response, governments in the United States of America (USA) and United Kingdom (UK) embarked on different governance and regulatory reforms ostensibly to contain the damage and possibly prevent future occurrence. The Thesis argues that corporate governance failures merely triggered the crisis and that the underlying cause of the crisis is the idea that the sole purpose of the corporation is shareholder value maximisation. The reforms merely provide immediate and temporary solutions but leave intact the problem of how to deal with the issue of shareholder primacy in the long-term. Thus, the Thesis contends that the reforms in the US and the UK are at best ad-hoc and cosmetic measures that only treat the symptoms and not the causes of the financial crisis. An original contribution of this Thesis is that it may lead to a reconceptualization of the nature and purpose of the corporation and the emergence of a more long-term governance model. It has wider implications as it will be useful not only for students and researchers but also provides insights for policy makers and business managers to make informed decisions.

Abstract:
Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis discusses the value of medical futility as an action guide for neonatal endof- life decisions. The concept is contextualized within the narrative of medical progress, the uncertainty of medical prognostication and the difficulty of just resource allocation, within the unique African situation where children are worse off today than they were at the beginning of the last century. parties actively engage in an interactive deliberation for a plan of action. Both parties ought to accept moral responsibility. Such a model of deliberation has the added advantage of transcending the limitations of the participants to arrive at a higher-level solution, which is considered more than just a consensus. It has been argued that medical progress has obscured the basic need for human compassion for the dying and for their loved ones. The literature furthermore reports that the quality of end-of-life care is unsatisfactory for both patients and their families. It is within this context that the concept of medical futility is positioned as a useful action guide. As we do not have the luxury of withdrawing from the responsibility to engage in the deliberation of end-of-life decisions, such responsibility demands an increasing awareness of ethical dilemmas and a model of medical training where communication, conflict-resolution, inclusive history taking, with assessment of patient values and preferences, is focussed on. The capacity for empathetic care has to be emphasized as an integral part of such approach. Finally, in this thesis, the concept of medical futility is tested and applied to clinical case scenarios. It is argued that the traditional medical paradigm, with its justification of an 'all out war' against disease and death, in order to achieve utopia for all, is outdated. Death in the neonatal intensive care unit is increasingly attributed to end-of-life decisions. Futile treatment could be considered a waste of scarce resources, contradicting the principle of nonmaleficence and justice, particularly in an African context. The ongoing confidence in, and uncritical submission to the technological progress in medicine is understood as a defence and coping mechanism against the backdrop of the experience of life's fragility, suffering and the inevitability of death. Such uncritical acceptance of the technological imperative could lead to a harmful fallacy that cure is effected by prolonging life at all cost. What actually occurs, instead, is the prolongation of the dying process, increasing suffering for all parties involved. The historical development of the concept of medical futility is discussed, highlighting its applicability to the paradigmatic scenario of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Particular attention is given to ways in which the concept could endanger patient-autonomy by allowing physicians to make unilateral, paternalistic decisions. It is argued that the informative model of the patient-physician relationship, where the physician's role is to disclose information in order for the patient to indicate her preferences, ought to be replaced by a more adequate deliberative model, where both<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis bespreek die waarde van mediese futiliteit as 'n maatstaf vir aksie in gevalle van neonatale 'einde-van-lewe' besluite. Die konsep word gekontekstualiseer binne die wêreldbeskouing van mediese vooruitgang, die onsekerheid van mediese prognostikering en die probleme wat geassosieer IS met regverdige hulpbrontoekenning; spesifiek binne die unieke Afrika-situasie. Dit word aangevoer dat die tradisionele mediese paradigma, met regverdiging vir voorkoming van siekte en dood ten alle koste, verouderd is. Sterftes in neonatale intensiewe sorgeenhede word toenemend toegeskryf aan 'einde-van-lewe' besluite Futiele behandeling sou dus beskou kon word as 'n vermorsing van skaars hulpbronne, wat teenstrydig sou wees met die beginsels nie-skadelikheid ('nonmaleficence') en regverdigheid. Die volgehoue vertroue in en onkritiese aanvaarding van aansprake op tegnologiese vooruitgang lil geneeskunde, kan beskou word as verdediging- en hanteringsmeganisme in die belewenis van lewenskwesbaarheid, lyding en die onafwendbaarheid van die dood. Sodanige onkritiese aanvaarding van die tegnologiese imperatief kan tot 'n onverantwoordbare denkfout, naamlik dat genesing plaasvind deur verlenging van lewe ten alle koste, lei. Wat hierteenoor eerder mag plaasvind, is 'n verlenging die sterwensproses en, gepaard daarmee, toenemende lyding van all betrokke partye. Die historiese ontwikkeling van die konsep van mediese futiliteit word bespreek met klem op die toepaslikheid daarvan op die paradigmatiese situasie van kardiopulmonêre resussitasie. Spesifieke aandag word gegee aan maniere waarop die konsep pasiënte se outonomie in gevaar stel, deur die betrokke medici die reg te gee tot eensydige, paternalistiese besluitneming. Die argument is dan dat die informatiewe model, waar die verhouding tussen die dokter en pasiënt gebasseer is op die beginsel dat die dokter inligting moet verskaf aan die pasiënt sodat die pasiënt 'n ingeligte besluit kan neem, vervang moet word met 'n meer toepaslike beraadslagende model, waar sowel die dokter as die pasiënt aktief deelneem aan interaktiewe beraadslaging oor 'n aksieplan. Albei partye word dan moreel verantwoordbaar. So 'n model van beraadslaging het die bykomende voordeel dat dit die beperkings van die deelnemers kan transendeer. Sodoende word 'n hoër-vlak oplossing - iets meer as 'n blote consensus - te weeg gebring. Die argument word ontwikkel dat mediese vooruitgang meelewing met die sterwendes en hul geliefdes mag verberg. Verder dui die literatuur daarop dat die kwaliteit van einde-van-lewe-sorg vir sowel die pasiënte as hul familie onaanvaarbaar is. Dit is binne hierdie konteks dat die konsep van mediese futiliteit kan dien as 'n maatstaf vir aksie. Medici kan nie verantwoordelikheid vir deelname aan beraadslaging rondom eindevan- lewe beluitneming vermy nie, en as sodanig vereis die situasie toenemende bewustheid van sowel die etiese dilemmas as 'n mediese opleidingsmodel waann kommunikasie, konflikhantering, omvattende geskiedenis-neming, met insluiting van die pasient se waardes en voorkeure, beklemtoon word. Die kapasiteit vir empatiese sorg moet weer eens beklemtoon word as 'n integrale deel van hierdie benadering. Ten slotte, hierdie tesis poog om die konsep van mediese futiliteit te toets en toe te pas op kliniese situasies.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses the mechanics of executive remuneration from an unorthodox perspective; the view presented through the lens of imperfect market pricing. Whilst many of the criticisms of existing compensation arrangements are merited, they ignore the integrity of a crucial aspect of the way remuneration awards are calculated; the market pricing mechanism. The original contribution of knowledge of this thesis is to explain how imperfect market pricing undermines the utility of stock-based compensation awards, especially in light of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-11 (‘GFC’).The existing position with regard to Anglo-American corporate governance emphasises the role of the market in determining optimal governance solutions. However, the market cannot regulate all conflicts. For example, the separation of ownership and control in modern corporations creates an agency problem whereby managerial and shareholder interests may diverge. Public companies therefore use performance-related pay to align the interests of management with those of firm owners. This performance-related pay often includes an element with a specific link to the price of company stock. A by-product of these arrangements is that incentives are created for executives to inflate the value of their companies in order to benefit from short-run price appreciation. This reduces the utility of stock-based pay and encourages market short-termism. There is however, a further fundamental flaw in the use of stock-based pay; it places complete faith in modern finance theory; a theory which asserts that market pricing is flawless (the so-called Efficient Capital Markets Hypothesis). However, financial and asset markets are susceptible to forces which drive prices away from intrinsic value for protracted periods and contribute to serious price distortion. Behavioural finance explains how these distortions occur and provides a more appropriate paradigm for securities market operation. The Financial Instability Hypothesis (‘FIH’) also explains how endogenous instability, emanating from the banking sector, arises as an inevitable consequence of the functioning of the capitalist economy. It further demonstrates how markets may be driven away from fundamental value, how asset bubbles occur, and how the market pricing mechanism is seriously distorted. The most serious recent crisis, the GFC, exhibited the FIH taxonomy. It exposed serious flaws in modern finance theory and revealed the dangers of flawed incentive systems in generating asset bubbles. Executives at financial institutions stand accused of short-termism, over-leveraging and poor risk management. Monitoring of management was impossible to perform effectively due to various behavioural and structural obstacles arising from the size and complexity of the institutions concerned. Moreover, a system of perverse incentives led to the failure of effective regulation of executive compensation.Reform is therefore required. The thesis will conclude with a critical analysis of recent amendments to the regulation of compensation systems at financial institutions. Based on this examination, the thesis will make some proposals for future remuneration packages in the wider economy. These proposals are designed to reduce the potential for financial instability through removing incentives for firm executives to concentrate on short-term results, and emphasize the role of qualitative indices of performance.

Abstract:
Abstract Since the dawn of mankind, or at least since the advent of the very first accelerated corrosion cabinet, it has been the goal of coatings evaluators to develop an accelerated corrosion testing protocol which reflects the real world of corrosion in totality. There have been passionate arguments promoting one or another testing protocol while demonizing others, but that one protocol has yet to be developed to everyone’s satisfaction. While the simplistic notion of one accelerated corrosion testing protocol is appealing, it is naïve to believe this Holy Grail is actually attainable. Mother Nature, in her divine wisdom, simply will not allow it. In the natural world, there are literally millions of variables that affect the composition and rate of corrosion. Distilling these variables into a few and packaging them into the proverbial accelerated box is not possible. It is therefore incumbent on the industry to back away from such futility and folly and embrace the variations that real world corrosion has to offer by understanding what corrosion is, what is important about corrosion and its measurement, and how to deal with it from a coatings point of view. This paper will look at the history of accelerated corrosion testing and some popular accelerated corrosion protocols. Also, mechanisms of corrosion and the variables that affect the corrosion process will be discussed, especially as they relate to testing protocols. And finally, the role of coatings in accelerated corrosion testing and the variability encountered in the different test protocols will be examined.

Abstract:
Abstract A previous paper presented by the authors at SSPC 2015 demonstrated the futility and folly of attempting to use accelerated corrosion testing as a tool for predicting real world corrosion performance. The effect of corrosion was shown to be governed by the type of ions and the concentration of oxygen in the corrosion environment. By understanding these two factors, accelerated corrosion testing can, however, be used as an indicator of performance which may be encountered in the real world. This indicator may show what effect an environment may have on coating/substrate, thus providing guidance for an appropriate performance solution. Whereas the 2015 paper looked at the corrosion process and the effect coatings have on protecting against corrosion from a mechanistic viewpoint, the link between the corrosion observed in an accelerated corrosion testing environment (i.e. domesticated corrosion) and the observed corrosion in the real world (i.e. corrosion in the wild) has not been fully examined and established. This paper examines the four predominant sources of corrosion that occur “in the wild” and compares them to observational results found in exposure to accelerated corrosion conditions. By combining these observational attributes to the mechanistic attributes previously examined, the use of accelerated corrosion testing can be better used as an indicator of how a coating will perform in various environmental conditions. The authors will also provide some suggested solutions using coatings for the improvement of corrosion resistance resulting from these sources of corrosion.

Abstract:
Abstract Previous papers by two of the authors have examined 1) the futility of attempting to correlate accelerated corrosion testing results to real world corrosion observations, and 2) how corrosion testing is useful as an indicator of performance without the need for real world correlation and what may be expected in a corrosive environment and how these results can be usefully applied in the real world. This third paper in the trilogy, examines a specific attribute of accelerated corrosion testing, that being the utility of wet/dry cycling testing versus continuous fog methods. For 30+ years, wet/dry cyclic accelerated corrosion testing has been lauded as a much improved method of accelerated corrosion testing versus continuous electrolyte fog methodology. Yet, there has been little objective evidence to support this contention, one way or the other. Evidence has generally been observational and anecdotal without using the scientific method for evaluation to determine if the methodology is in fact improved. In this study, panels with applied scribes are subjected to wet/dry cycling (1-hour wet and 1-hour dry) and to continuous electrolyte fog. The exposure times for the wet/dry cycle is 1500 hours while the exposure time for the continuous exposure is 1000 hours. The electrolytes used are 5% NaCl aqueous solution (as used in ASTM B117) and Timmons solution, an aqueous solution of 0.35% NaSO4 + 0.05% NaCl (as used in ASTM G85 Annex A5). The panels are coated with two different epoxy coatings, the composition between the two being the same except one contains aluminum pigment and the other does not. The panels are evaluated for corrosion at the scribe and scribe creep and cathodic delamination. Expectation from this study is to be able to determine if there is a mechanistic difference in using wet/dry cycling over continuous exposure for corrosion evaluation. This will then allow the user to choose an accelerated corrosion method that better suits the environment and timing for coatings evaluation.

Abstract:
This paper examines the effect of elections on fiscal policies in 21 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean from 1983 to 1996. The budget surplus proves to be lower than normal in the preelectoral and higher in the postelectoral years. Both the expenditure and revenue sides contribute to this cyclicality.
