Abstract:

This chapter discusses how Philo’s work on the Ten Commandments and the Special Laws is influenced by Plato’s Laws. Philo insists that the lawgiver must persuade as well as require. It explains how he sees the Jewish laws in clusters, these clusters relate to areas of life where particular virtues are developed, and he sees obeying them as leading to a grasp of the value of the way of life encouraged by living in accordance with them. These virtues and way of life, as Philo claims, are superior to those of the pagans, since they align with the natural law.

Abstract:

Modern globalized economy has made it necessary to identify uniform or at least comparable principles for the valuation of economic assets. This chapter introduces some of the best known and influential valuation standards and guidelines, such as the USPAP, the AICPA Valuation Standard, the International Valuation Standards, World Bank and MIGA Guidelines as well as UNCC propositions. In addition, some of the most important valuation bases are discussed briefly, such as market value, investment value, special value, synergistic value, and contractual value.

Abstract:

This essay argues for an evaluative theory of desire—specifically, that to desire something is for it to appear, in some way or other, good. If a desire is a non-doxastic appearance of value then it is no mystery how it can rationalize as well as cause action. The theory is metaphysically neutral—it is compatible with value idealism (that value reduces to desire), with value realism (that it is not so reducible), and with value nihilism (all appearances of value are illusory). Despite this metaphysical neutrality the thesis opens up an epistemological gold mine. Non-doxastic value appearances

It concludes that its value lies principally in the law enforcement paradigm, in particular in the regulation of everyday life under rebel control.

This chapter begins with a discussion of Neil MacCormick’s institutionalist approach to legal phenomena, and argues that this theoretical framework has value as a way to study multiple offense sentencing (MOS). The most thorough completed empirical research into MOS, by Austin Lovegrove in Victoria, Australia, is then considered, alongside the leading Victorian case of Azzopardi v. R. Congruently with the expectations of institutionalism, this analysis uncovers several separate normative principles used by judges in MOS practice. These results are discussed through the lens of what can be desc

The incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) is estimated at between 15 and 60 cases per million inhabitants per year from population-based studies in industrialized countries.

The incidence of IE is higher in patients with heart valve prosthesis, previous endocarditis, and complex congenital heart disease. In developing countries, IE occurs in younger patients with a majority of r

What makes an action right or wrong? One of the most influential answers over the past couple of centuries is that of the consequentialist. There are a variety of consequentialist views and there are a variety of ways of stating precisely what it is for a view to count as consequentialist. Nevertheless, consequentialists agree that, in some sense, rightness is to be understood in terms of goodness. Act utilitarianism is perhaps the most well-known version of consequentialism. According to such a view, an action is right if and only if no alternative to that action has a set of consequences wit

Abstract:

At the looping stage of heart development, tissue patterning of myocardium and endocardium at the atrioventricular (AV) junction defines a morphogenic field competent to form valves that initially appear as protrusions of proteoglycan-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) called endocardial cushions (ECs) which are cellularized by an endocardial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Cellular proliferation results in fusion of the major AV mesenchymal cushions and AV septation, whereas smaller cushions receive a supply from epicardially derived cells. These various sources of mesenchyme precursors give rise

Valvular heart disease constitutes considerable disease burden in the elderly and surgery remains the definitive treatment. Most valve dysfunction is chronic in nature and may not meet sufficient criteria for surgical consideration; however, additional stressors such as hypovolaemia, arrhythmia, or infection may lead to cardiovascular symptoms and haemodynamic compromise, necessitating intensive care unit management. Acute valve dysfunction is typically a surgical emergency, and medical therapy is selectively used to bridge to more definitive therapy. Some situations, such as mitral stenosis,

In common mental disorders, psychotherapy usually yields equivalent results to medication and, in many cases, provides unique “added value” that drug treatment cannot offer. Its value is firmly established in the most common problems that psychiatrists treat—anxiety disorders, mild to moderate major depression, substance abuse, and personality diso

Second, others argue that because immortality would be bad, death has considerable upside. Finding these two answers less than satisfying, the author explores a third option. This third source of solace starts with the idea that insofar as our lives are worth being grateful fo

The arterial valves guarding the entrances to the aorta and pulmonary trunk have many similarities to the mitral and tricuspid valves in the atrioventricular region of the heart. Despite these similarities, there are significant differences in the formation and structure of the arterial and atrioventricular valves. The most fundamental of these relate to the lineage origins of the cells forming the primitive cushions. Although the fate of the different lineages remains unclear, each makes a permanent contribution to the mature valve. Arterial valve formation is intrinsically linked to cushion

Abstract:

The chapter discusses credit value adjustment (CVA) under Basel 2.5 and Basel 3. CVA is an adjustment to the fair value (or price) of derivative instruments to account for counterparty credit risk (CCR). Thus, CVA is commonly viewed as the price of CCR. The purpose of the CVA capital charge is to capitalize the risk of future changes in CVA. For most exposures, at any given time the market credit spread on the relevant counterparty is good proxy for the CVA applicable to the exposure, but the regulatory calculations involved reflect a number of factors as well as this particular input.

The subject matter of ethics is value as it figures in human life. Aristotle ascribes two features to this value: difference and variability.

Users are important innovators in many fields. Often, they do not need socially costly patent incentives to invent, disclose, and disseminate their inventions.

If a user innovator values an invention primarily for providing a competitive edge, the patent-free UI paradigm is not viable. Most such inventions have little social value. Some, however, such as improved manufacturing processes, produce significant collateral valu

Even if these other evaluative capacities
