Abstract:

The monograph provides a comprehensive study of the possibilities of assessing the economic efficiency of public (municipal) procurement in a non-competitive way (from a single supplier). The domestic and foreign experience in this field is being investigated. Using a mathematical model of economic analysis and relying on the concept of quantitative theory of money, the authors attempt to create a formula for calculating the economic efficiency coefficient of state (municipal) procurement from a single supplier.  At the same time, the possibilities of using this coefficient in conducting

Abstract:

The individuation of actual entities has a beginning and an end. It passes from disjunctive diversity, where it has the character of an ‘aim’, a potentiality, through its being in action, to its satisfaction, at which point it is no longer susceptible to transformations or becomings. The best way of expressing this highly delimited nature of individuation is to use terms like ‘blocks’, ‘blocks of becoming’ or ‘blocks of individuation’. In Some Problems of Philosophy, William James, attempting to account for sensible experience, for perception in immediate experience, develops a notion of what

In the chapter titled ‘The Categorial Scheme’, Whitehead introduces a new distinction, doubtless the most important in Processand Reality as well as the most difficult to understand: actual entities are distinct from what he terms ‘eternal objects’.

Abstract:

This chapter explores how mechanisms and their constituents can be classified into kinds. It argues for a weakly realist account of natural kinds—one which suggests that classification into kinds is based upon real similarities between instances of those kinds, but which denies that kinds have essences or have some reality apart from their instances. I introduce a models-first account of kinds, which suggests that two things are of the same kind to the extent that they can be represented by the same model. Because target entities can be represented by multiple models, they will belong to multi

Abstract:

‘Living, loving, dying’ asks what is life? It considers the origins of life, self-assembly, or epigenesis of complex organisms, generation, and renewal. According to Epicureanism, living things are composed of the same material particles that compose all substances and objects. All such entities come into existence gradually as their parts are built up, and all are dissolved in time into their constituent particles in the cosmic flux, where they become material for the generation of new living and non-living entities.

Advantages of the neutrality approach to natural languages are sketched.

There are also puzzles about how individuals are supposed to think about particular nonexistent beings over time, or how more than one individual can think about the same nonexistent b

Abstract:

This chapter shows why legal forms recently developed to house social enterprise, such as the benefit corporation, leave social mission vulnerable to unilateral termination. Benefit corporation statutes grant shareholders unfettered discretion to discard social mission at any time. L3C statutes grant the same autonomy to entrepreneurs. In either case, the entity’s social mission can be shed without penalty, so adopting the form provides little reassurance of entrepreneurs’ and investors’ commitments. The chapter traces this weakness in part to the statutes’ inadequate mandate that adopting ent

It is, then, fully a perspective, a being-situated in the universe, a junction between and a unity of everything that exists. It attains, in its final state of concrescen

In this chapter, I explore shamans’ relationships with the nature of the high north.

However, different experiences, interests, and agendas make the same landscape evolve with different meanings. To shed light on these issues, I start by putting in context some of the background for the interest in nature and landscape that is expressed by the shamans I have intervie

More precisely, the author claims that cultured pluripotent stem cells can be considered model organisms for studying early mammalian development. An important objection to this

A close analysis reveals that states have sovereignty over underground resources located in areas under their control or jurisdi

What would matter would be the setting of shared dispositives of ‘telling (uncovering, creating) law’.

He thought that, similar to neurosyphilis, catatonia had a common cause and common clinical course but, unlike neurosyphilis, often a relatively benign outcome.

In cases where the key drivers are the same in different areas, then ecosystems should converge in their structure and function, which has been a motivation for comparing across mediterranean-type climate (MTC) regions.

This chapter discusses the implications of Spinoza’s concept of individual bodies, as introduced in the definition of individuum in the physical digression.

Given the quite distinct use of the terms divisibilis and indivisibilis in his metaphysics, however, the chapter argues that the physical concept of individuality is not universally applied in the Ethics but reserved for physical or natural-philos

Abstract:

Global legal pluralism has become one of the leading analytical frameworks for understanding and conceptualizing law in the twenty-first century. Wherever one looks, there is conflict among multiple legal regimes—some of which are state-based; some are built and maintained by nonstate actors; some fall within the purview of local authorities and jurisdictional entities; and some involve international courts, tribunals, and arbitral bodies, as well as regulatory organizations. Global legal pluralism has provided, first and foremost, a set of useful analytical tools for describing this conflict

Abstract:

Innovation is an extremely context-specific activity, with both the problems sought to be addressed and the solutions at hand being shaped by the structure and flavour of predominant private activity in the domestic economy, sectoral regulations and State support, and local market needs and purchasing power. In this regard, both public and private entities have been successful in tackling several infrastructure bottlenecks and institutional voids to achieve their goals, promoting innovation along the way. At the same time, several impediments to innovation exist in India, the absence of which

Abstract:

Walters provides a detailed description of how criminal thinking serves as a vital link between criminality and crime. Criminality, the propensity to become involved in criminal activity, and crime, participation in a specific criminal event, are normally treated as separate entities. Most criminological theories, in fact, can be classified as either theories of criminality or theories of crime. It is the author’s contention that criminality and crime are two sides of the same coin, and that criminal thinking can explain both. The first of three sections explores the elements of criminality an

Abstract:

Many governmental functions today — from the management of prisons and welfare offices to warfare and financial regulation — are outsourced to private entities. Education and health care are funded in part through private philanthropy rather than taxation. Can a privatized government rule legitimately? This book argues that it cannot. It argues that privatization constitutes a regression to a precivil condition — what philosophers centuries ago called “a state of nature.” Developing a compelling case for the democratic state and its administrative apparatus, the book shows how privatization re

Religion Onlineprovides new insights about religiosity in a contemporary context, offering a comprehensive look at the intersection of digital media, faith communities, and practices of all sorts. Recent research on Apple users, video games, virtual worlds, artificial intelligence, digital music, and sports as religion supports the idea that media and religion, once considered separate entities, are in many cases the same thing. New media and religious practice can no longer be detached; this two-volume set discusses how religionists are embracing the Internet amidst cultural shifts of secular

Abstract:

The book is a guide for academic researchers, especially scientists and engineers, on how to move their discoveries to the marketplace. Few academics understand what tech transfer is or how it works, and many shy away from it because they equate commercialization with starting a company. Yet those same individuals can be intrigued to learn of additional pathways that enable discoveries to be translated into marketable products or services. This book helps researchers explore multiple routes for commercialization, guides them through the personal decisions they must face, describes programs des

Abstract:

Esta colección bilingüe de seis relatos no es solo un conjunto de cuentos, se trata del reflejo de muchas vidas que han sabido rehacerse a sí mismas; migrantes que han comenzado de cero, autistas que salen de su aislamiento, monitores que aprenden más de lo que enseñan o pinos quemados que logran reverdecer. Es un libro pensado para contribuir a la conciencia de que los seres humanos no somos entes independientes, sino que existe una red invisible que nos conecta a todos, como si fuéramos los dedos de una misma mano. Se trata de relatos pensados para compartir, y así, conociendo a los otros, l
