Abstract:

Die wohl bekannteste Ehebrecherin der Weltliteratur hat nicht nur zahlreiche Nachfolgerinnen, sondern übt auch bis heute eine nicht enden wollende Faszinationskraft auf ihre Leser*innen aus. Gustave Flauberts Emma Bovary wird dadurch zur Projektionsfläche ganzer Generationen, die in ihr abwechselnd eine Feministin, eine tragische Figur, eine Femme fatale, eine Künstlerin oder einen provinziellen Backfisch sehen wollen. Dieser Ambivalenz gehen die Beiträger*innen des Bandes essayistisch und wissenschaftlich nach. Die leitende Frage dabei lautet: Steckt nicht in allen etwas von Emma Bovary?

Abstract:

This chapter distinguishes error and bias, non-differential and differential misclassification distinguished. Non-differential misclassification almost always biases results toward the null, while differential misclassification can affect results in any direction. Methods to minimise observation bias include single, double and triple blind assessment. It discusses recall and other biases, with methods of assessment and avoidance, and practical issues on reducing error and bias. In part two, it shows how to measure and adjust for observational error and bias, including Kappa and adjusting for n

Abstract:

Kuypers charts the potential effects the printed presses and broadcast media have upon the messages of political and social leaders when they discuss controversial issues. Examining over 800 press reports on race and homosexuality from 116 different newspapers, Kuypers meticulously documents a liberal political bias in mainstream news. This book asserts that such a bias hurts the democratic process by ignoring non-mainstream left positions and vilifying many moderate and most right-leaning positions, leaving only a narrow brand of liberal thought supported by the mainstream press.

Abstract:

The HIV/AIDS infection rate today among African American women is twenty times higher than for non-Hispanic white women. Some recent public health studies suggest that the disparities we see in HIV/AIDS between black women and other groups is linked to disproportionately high rates of incarceration for black men in the United States. The connection between the HIV/AIDS epidemic and mass incarceration needs to be examined. Moral and political issues arise insofar as police profiling and racial bias in sentencing are fueling the HIV/AIDS crisis in African American communities.

Studies in neuroscience demonstrate that a focus on mindfulness meditation and contemplative spiritual practice has the capacity to increase our non-anxious awareness and significantly lower our stress. Not only is this finding of immediate importance for pastoral counselors and psychotherapists, it will even necessitate a paradigm shift in the way that pastoral and spiritual practitioners approach the general care of souls. The starting point for such a paradigm shift is an acknowledgement of the built-in negativity bias of the brain, and how certain beliefs and theological views may inadvert

Until recently, the role of women in nationalism and governance has received little scholarly attention, perhaps because men have historically exercised near exclusive control over nations and states. This is ironic because it is women who create the nation/state. The intersection between gender and nationalism can be broken down into three categories. The first category is women as biological reproducers of the nation. The second category includes women participating centrally in the ideological reproduction of the collectivity and as signifiers of ethnic/national differences. The third categ

The first two belong to the group of non-contingent standards (or so-called “absolute standard of treatment”), whilst the latter two are forms of contingent standards (or “relative standards of treatment”).

It reviews how the provisions on expropriation in China's BITs have evolved and considers their scope, and whether they cover indirect or regulatory expropriation

This chapter explores ongoing debates surrounding the environmental safety of genetically modified (GM) crops. Systematic review and meta-analysis provide convincing evidence that Bt crops are safer than insecticides for non-target invertebrate species, such as honeybees and ladybird beetles. In addition, widespread adoption of Bt crops has resulted in reduced use of insecticides and other benefits for the environment. Despite such evidence, there remains a substantial opinion gap between the general public and scientists regarding the safety of GM crops. While systematic review and meta-analy

The non-discrimination principle is one of the fundamental principles underpinning international investment treaties.

The principle ne bis in idem and extradition law have evolved from a ‘State-oriented’ approach into an ‘individual-oriented approach’.

This perspective is based upon the belief that multiracials experience racial discrimination in a unique manner that makes it necessary to reformulate traditional civil rights law. Multiracials and Civil Rights, based upon a close examination of many multiracial discrimination legal cases in a variety of equality law contexts, demonstrates the fallacy and danger of that conjecture.

Abstract:

This chapter brings the book together, showing the overall scheme of assessment of causation for one study or in many studies, based on 20 questions in five sections. The scheme includes describing the key features of the study; then assessing observation bias, confounding, and chance variation. The chapter presents the consideration of the positive features of causation: the Bradford Hill guidelines of time relationship, strength, dose-response, consistency, and specificity, leading to an assessment of internal validity. External validity (generalisability) relates to the eligible, source, an

Abstract:

This chapter presents an important, large, international randomised trial of prevention, the use of folic acid and multivitamins in preventing spina bifida and other neural tube defects. This shows the ethical and logistic issues involved, a factorial randomised design, a sequential analysis and early stopping example, and specificity of effect, and discusses the application to policy. The critical assessment follows the scheme set out in chapter 10: describing the study, assessing the non-causal explanations of observation bias, confounding, and chance variation; assessing time relationships,

Abstract:

Abstract Belief as Emotion argues that belief is a type of emotion, where emotions are understood as irreducibly blended states that transcend the cognitive/non-cognitive divide. On this view, to believe is to feel that the way one represents the world is accurate and this feeling is a kind of evaluation. This view helps explain a number of puzzling phenomena in epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, and philosophy of religion. Further, thinking of beliefs as emotions helps us to understand the ethics of belief. It offers a better understanding of what are sometimes called “ed

Abstract:

This chapter identifies a novel family of metaethical theories that are non-descriptive and that aim to explain the action-guiding qualities of normative thought and language. The general strategy is to consider different relations language might bear to a given content, where we locate descriptivity (or lack of it) in these relations, rather than locating it in a theory that begins with the expression of states of mind, or locating it in a special kind of content that is not way-things-might-be content. One such view is sketched, which posits two different content-fixing cognitive roles for b

Abstract:

Joint replacement is often considered the surgical treatment for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). However, several other surgical treatments, of which some are more frequently performed, have been advocated for patients with OA in order to relieve symptoms, stall progression, and avoid or postpone joint replacement. This chapter briefly describes the most common procedures such as knee and hip arthroscopy and knee and hip osteotomy. It also reviews the evidence for the efficacy of these treatments compared with non-surgical alternatives, which is frequently insufficient due to lack of contro

Abstract:

This book explores the wide variation across states in convenience voting methods—absentee/mail voting, in-person early voting, same day registration—and provides new empirical analysis of the beneficial effects of these policies, not only in increasing voter turnout overall, but for disadvantaged groups. By measuring both convenience methods and implementation of the laws, the book improves on previous research. It draws generalizable conclusions about how these laws affect voter turnout by using population data from the fifty state voter files. Using individual vote histories, the design hel
