de Vignemont, Frédérique. Taxonomies of Body Representations. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198735885.003.0009.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers the relationship between body representations, action, and bodily experiences. It first clarifies the conceptual landscape of body representations and stresses the conceptual and empirical difficulties that the current body schema/body image taxonomy faces, difficulties that can be explained by their constant interaction but not only. There is indeed a lack of precise understanding of the functional role of the body schema as opposed to the body image. Instead of these unclear notions, the chapter proposes distinguishing different types of body representations on the basis of their direction of fit and of their spatial organization. On the one hand, there is a purely descriptive body map that represents well-segmented categorical body parts, in which one can localize one’s sensations. On the other hand, there is a body map that is both descriptive and directive (i.e. pushmi-pullyu representation), and that encodes structural bodily affordances for action planning and control.

Robert, McLaughlin. Recognition of Belligerency and the Law of Armed Conflict. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780197507056.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Prior to the progressive development of the law of armed conflict (LOAC) heralded by the 1949 Geneva conventions—most particularly in relation to the concepts of international and non-international armed conflict—the customary doctrine on recognition of belligerency functioned for almost 200 years as the definitive legal scheme for differentiating internal conflict from ‘civil wars’ in which the law of war as applicable between states applied de jure. Employing a legal historical approach, this book describes the thematic and schematic fundamentals of the doctrine, and analyses some of the more significant challenges to its application. In doing so, the book assesses whether, how, and why the doctrine on recognition of belligerency was considered ‘fit for purpose’, and seeks to inform debate as to its continuity and utility within the modern scheme of LOAC.

Singer, Abraham A. Business Ethics and Efficiency. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190698348.003.0012.
Full textAbstract:
This and the next chapter articulate a theory of business ethics that fits with how the book has approached corporate governance and corporate law. It takes the “market failures approach” (MFA) to business ethics as a starting point, a view that takes efficiency to be the primary moral principle for business. The MFA holds that businesses have an ethical duty not to exploit “market failures,” the inefficiencies and misallocations systematically and predictably effected by markets. This view is strong because it provides a robust account of business’s ethical duties within the framework of contemporary economic theory; business ethics is neither a wet blanket draped over the C-suite nor a self-serving rationalization of business’s self-interested activities. Instead, business ethics is shown to fit within a larger scheme of social cooperation, taking seriously businesses’ place within that scheme, particularly within a competitive market characterized by deontic weakening.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the regulatory procedures for handling consumer complaints involving financial services firms as well as the process of dispute resolution and compensation available to complainants. In particular, it discusses the role of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), introduced under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FMSA). It also considers the functions of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The chapter first provides an overview of the DISP Rules, which contain the complaint handling requirements for firms, before describing major sources of complaints against financial services firms, including Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). It then analyses financial redress by the FCA in the form of restitution, injunctions, industry review, and a ‘qualifying parent undertaking’. It also looks at the statutory frameworks of the FSO and the FSCS.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter concerns the seven principal aspects of redress under the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA) 2000. Redress may be due when the primary goal of consumer protection has failed to attain its objective and a customer suffers loss or inconvenience. This chapter considers the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) requirements for firms with regard to complaint handling. It also looks at the process by which disputes between retail customers and regulated firms can be brought to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and the way in which the FOS will decide a dispute. The process by which a designated consumer body can bring complaints to the FCA regarding consumer interests, and the role of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), are explained. Finally, the role of consumer redress schemes, restitution orders, and other circumstances where consumers may obtain redress are explained.

Parkin, Jon. Hobbes and the Future of Religion. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198803409.003.0012.
Full textAbstract:
Hobbes gives only ambiguous hints about the future of religion under a Hobbesian scheme. The chapter argues that consideration of that ambiguity might tell us something important about the nature of Hobbes’s intervention in debates over religion. Far from being committed (overtly or covertly) to particular ecclesiological options, Hobbes sought instead to make his basic ideas available to a range of religious readers. Those readers were thus invited to interpret their doctrines in accordance with Hobbesian principles. Evidence from Hobbes’s reception suggests that his readers did accept this invitation, leading to a range of possible Hobbesian ‘futures’. The fact that commentators have been able to identify so many different modes of Hobbesian religion may in fact capture a crucial feature of his project, but perhaps not in the way that many of them have previously thought.

Full textAbstract:
This book argues for increased economic growth as a cure for poverty. This chapter responds to the objection that such growth is unacceptable because it leads to dangerous climate change. The authors agree that such growth will lead to climate change, that such climate change is dangerous, and endorse a carbon-tax scheme that allows sufficient growth to address global poverty. Two objections to this view are discussed. The first holds that growth should be stopped as much as possible. However, this ignores the fact that dangerous climate cannot be prevented, and the extent of suffering by the world’s poor because of a lack of growth. The second objection wants to reduce growth in rich societies, but not poor societies. But this overlooks the fact that different economies are intertwined, so that a reduction in growth in a rich country can often disproportionally harm poor countries.

Full textAbstract:
The politics of the Muslim League in Assam led to the communalization of politics in the province. The Muslim League linked up the immigration and land issue with that of Pakistan and consistently tried to disprove the fact that Assam was a Hindu-majority province. Its movements in favour of immigration and against the Line System as well as its civil disobedience movement are also discussed in the chapter. It also discusses the politics that took shape in Assam after the announcement of the Cabinet Mission’s proposals and the way in which the Assam Congress put up a concerted fight against the grouping scheme of the Cabinet Mission with the support of Gandhi. The fact that the issues of land, immigration, and language would find echoes several decades later in Assam in the form of populist agitations and land-related violence and retain their relevance in present-day Assam politics has also been highlighted.

Williamson, Timothy. Acting on Knowledge. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198716310.003.0008.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter develops and refines the analogy between knowledge and action in Knowledge and its Limits. The general schema is: knowledge is to belief as action is to intention. The analogy reverses direction of fit between mind and world. The knowledge/belief side corresponds to the inputs to practical reasoning, the action/intention side to its outputs. Since desires are inputs to practical reasoning, the desire-as-belief thesis is considered sympathetically. When all goes well with practical reasoning, one acts on what one knows. Belief plays the same local role as knowledge, and intention as action, in practical reasoning. This is the appropriate setting to understand knowledge norms for belief and practical reasoning. Marginalizing knowledge in epistemology is as perverse as marginalizing action in the philosophy of action. Opponents of knowledge-first epistemology are challenged to produce an equally systematic and plausible account of the relation between the cognitive and the practical.

Charles, Proctor. Part A Regulatory Matters, 3 The Conduct of Retail Banking and Investment Business. Oxford University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780199685585.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
The conduct of banks in relation to their retail customers used to be governed by two voluntary codes: the Banking Code (for personal customers) and the Business Banking Code (for corporate and business customers). This voluntary scheme for the regulation of retail business came to an end on 1 November 2009, when the Banking Conduct of Business section (BCOBS) of the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA, now UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)) Handbook came into force. This chapter examines the main requirements of BCOBS. It also considers the requirements applicable to banks in the field of investment services provided to retail clients, to the extent to which these are affected by the EU's Markets in Financial Instruments Directive.

Full textAbstract:
Many have referred to practices in deaf education as having their basis in beliefs and attitudes rather than evidence and science; misunderstandings between the culture of the researcher and the culture of the practitioner result in misperceptions of the intentions from both sides. The purpose of this chapter is to identify how a good idea makes it from a belief in a practice to scientific validation of its effectiveness. The available research designs are legion, and all have their purposes. This chapter describes the place of the different designs on the path from a belief to an evidence-based practice and uses examples from the existing evidence base to demonstrate how they fit in the overall scheme of moving a good idea into the evidence base.

Johanson, Graeme. Colonial Editions. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199609932.003.0004.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes a colonial edition and considers its role in the patterns of the entire export trade in British books from the 1840s onwards. A colonial edition is categorized as a new setting of type (a true edition), a separate impression from the same type, a separate issue, a reissue, or other types of book which do not fit neatly into a prescriptive bibliographical scheme. Colonial editions were produced to appear distinctive, in order to market them as reliable series of quality, and to prevent them being sold in the United Kingdom, where new novels cost at least twice as much per title as in the colonies. They were a cornerstone of the book trade to South Africa between the South African War (1899–1902) and World War One (1914–1918).

Full textAbstract:
This chapter surveys the major conceptual metaphorical source domains in the Prophet Muhammad’s Tradition and their mappings with reference to Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The Prophetic discourse makes great use of metaphors whose source domains vary considerably. These metaphors are systematically classified in particular spatial domains. In addition, the Prophetic metaphors show considerable discrepancy in terms of their degree of generality and specificity: many metaphoric schemas are generic in their mapping, while a large number are very specific in their mapping. Furthermore, the majority of the Prophetic metaphors are common, due to the ontological and structural functions of most of the Prophetic metaphors. This can be attributed to the fact that Islamic religious discourse is packed with abstract notions, and metaphorical language is the most accessible method of conceptualising and facilitating the understanding of such religious abstraction.

Full textAbstract:
While there have been numerous recent analyses of the legitimacy of suprastate governance institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) or United Nations Security Council, few accounts have considered individual duties in relation to those institutions, broadly analogous to suprastate political obligation. Identified in this chapter are three categories of duties that should be salient to a range of institutions. These include duties to support their reform, to resist specific institutional features or practices, and to reject the continued operation of some institutions and support the creation of alternate ones. These duties would correspond roughly to how well an institution would appear to fit into a global institutional scheme that actually would fulfill cosmopolitan aims for rights promotion and protections and related global moral goods. An implication is that the current global system itself is a candidate for rejection, given its inherent tendencies toward the gross underfulfillment of individual rights.

Full textAbstract:
The Lattice Boltzmann method was originally devised as a computational alternative for the simulation of macroscopic flows, as described by the Navier–Stokes equations of continuum mechanics. In many respects, this still is the main place where it belongs today. Yet, in the past decade, LB has made proof of a largely unanticipated versatility across a broad spectrum of scales, from fully developed turbulence, to microfluidics, all the way down to nanoscale flows. Even though no systematic analogue of the Chapman–Enskog asymptotics is available in this beyond-hydro region (no guarantee), the fact remains that, with due extensions of the basic scheme, the LB has proven capable of providing several valuable insights into the physics of flows at micro- and nano-scales. This does not mean that LBE can solve the actual Boltzmann equation or replace Molecular Dynamics, but simply that it can provide useful insights into some flow problems which cannot be described within the realm of the Navier–Stokes equations of continuum mechanics. This Chapter provides a cursory view of this fast-growing front of modern LB research.

Full textAbstract:
The US and English models for financial restructurings of companies in financial difficulties are fundamentally different. The first edition of this book was written in the wave of restructurings precipitated by the credit crisis which brought into the spotlight arguments that the principles behind the US chapter 11 regime ought to be imported into a UK statutory scheme. Since then, the American Bankruptcy Institute Commission to Study Reform of Chapter 11 has reported, and the European Commission has issued a recommendation on a new approach to business failure and insolvency. Creditors increasingly have security over the debtor’s assets in the US, whilst the very nature of the finance market is changing in the UK. Across much of Europe reform of restructuring procedures is underway or under consideration. This edition is written against a backdrop of reflection and revision, and the corporate chapters seek to contribute three things. First, they seek to identify a coherent body of UK restructuring law from the disparate sources which provide it. Secondly, they provide a comparative functional account of restructuring law in the US and the UK so that each jurisdiction can learn from the other with a view to the development of an effective debt restructuring regime. Finally, they consider the different normative concerns and assumptions of fact which have contributed to the development of law in both jurisdictions, the extent to which these require reconsideration in today’s finance markets, and the implications for restructuring law and practice in the twenty-first century.

Meijers, Tim. Justice Between Generations. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780190228637.013.233.
Full textAbstract:
A wide range of issues in moral, political, and legal philosophy fall under the heading of “intergenerational justice,” such as questions of justice between the young and the old, obligations to more-or-less distant past and future generations, generational sovereignty, and the boundaries of democratic decision-making.These issues deserve our attention first because they are of great social importance. Solving the challenges raised by aging, stable pension funding, and increasing healthcare costs, for example, requires a view on what justice between age groups demands. Climate change, resource depletion, environmental degradation, population growth, and the like, raise serious concerns about the conditions under which future people will have to live. What kind of world should we bequest to future generations?Second, this debate has theoretical significance. Questions of intergenerational justice force reconsideration of the fundamental commitments (on scope, pattern, site, and currency) of existing moral and political theories. The age-group debate has led to fundamental questions about the pattern of distributive justice: Should we care about people’s lives considered as whole being equally good? This has implausible implications. Can existing accounts be modified to avoid such problematic consequences?Justice between nonoverlapping generations raises a different set of questions. One important worry is about the pattern of intergenerational justice—are future generations owed equality, or should intergenerational justice be cast in terms of sufficiency? Another issue is the currency of intergenerational justice: what kind of goods should be transferred? Perhaps the most puzzling worry resulting from this debate translates into a worry about scope: do obligations of justice extend to future people? Most conventional views on the scope of justice—those that focus on shared coercive institutions, a common culture, a cooperative scheme for mutual advantage—cannot easily be extended to include future generations. Even humanity-based views, which seem most hospitable to the inclusion of future generations, are confronted with what Parfit called the nonidentity problem, which results from the fact that future people are mostly possible people: because of the lack of a fixed identity of future people, it is often impossible to harm them in the comparative sense.

Sigalas, Emmanuel. The European Union Space Policy. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780190228637.013.183.
Full textAbstract:
The European Union Space Policy (EUSP) is one of the lesser known and, consequently, little understood policies of the European Union (EU). Although the EU added outer space as one of its competences in 2009 with the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, the EUSP roots go back decades earlier.Officially at least, there is no EUSP as such, but rather a European Space Policy (ESP). The ESP combines in principle space programs and competences that cut across three levels of governance: the supranational (EU), the international (intergovernmental), and the national. However, since the EU acquired treaty competences on outer space, it is clear that a nascent EUSP has emerged, even if no one yet dares calling it by its name.Currently, three EU space programs stand out: Galileo, Copernicus, and EGNOS. Galileo is probably the better known and more controversial of the three. Meant to secure European independence from the U.S. global positioning system by putting in orbit a constellation of European satellites, Galileo has been plagued by several problems. One of them was the collapse of the public–private partnership funding scheme in 2006, which nearly killed it. However, instead of marking the end of EUSP, the termination of the public–private partnership served as a catalyst in its favor. Furthermore, research findings indicate that the European Parliament envisioned an EUSP long before the European Commission published its first communication in this regard. This is a surprising yet highly interesting finding because it highlights the fact that in addition to the Commission or the European Court of Justice, the European Parliament is a thus far neglected policy entrepreneur. Overall, the development of the EUSP is an almost ideal case study of European integration by stealth, largely in line with the main principles of two related European integration theories: neofunctionalism and historical institutionalism.Since EUSP is a relatively new policy, the existing academic literature on this policy is also limited. This has also to do with the degree of public interest in outer space in general. Outer space’s popularity reached its heyday during the Cold War era. Today space, in Europe and in other continents, has to compete harder than ever for public attention and investment. Still, research on European space cooperation is growing, and there are reasons to be optimistic about its future.

Wiener, Harvey S. Any Child Can Read Better. Oxford University Press, 1996. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780195102185.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Reading, however fundamental the task may seem to everyday life, is a complex process that takes years to master. Yet, learning to read in the early stages is not an overwhelming problem for most children, especially when their classroom learning is coupled with a nurturing home environment in which reading is cherished, and pencil and paper are always available and fun to use. In fact, studies have shown that children score higher in reading if their parents support and encourage them at home. Unfortunately, though many parents want to involve themselves actively in their children's education, very few know just what to do. Now Dr. Harvey S. Wiener, author of the classic Any Child Can Write, provides an indispensable guide for parents who want to help their children enter the magic realm of words. In Any Child Can Read Better, Second Edition, Dr. Wiener offers practical advice on how to help children make their way through the maze of assignments and exercises related to classroom reading. In this essential book, parents learn how to be "reading helpers" without replacing or superseding the teacher--by supporting a child's reading habits and sharing the pleasures of fiction, poetry, and prose. Home learning parents also will find a wealth of information here. Through comfortable conversation and enjoyable exercises that tap children's native abilities, parents can help their child practice the critical thinking and reading skills that guarantee success in the classroom and beyond. For example, Dr. Wiener explains how exercises such as prereading warm-ups like creating word maps (a visual scheme that represents words and ideas as shapes and connects them) will allow youngsters to create a visual format and context before they begin reading. He shows how pictures from a birthday party can be used to create patterns of meaning by arranging them chronologically to allow the party's "story" to emerge, or how they might by arranged by order of importance--a picture of Beth standing at the door waiting for her friends to arrive could be displayed first, Beth blowing out the birthday cake placed toward the middle of the arrangement, and the pictures of Beth opening her gifts, especially the skates she's been begging for all year, would surely go toward the end of the sequence. Dr. Wiener shows how these activities, and many others, such as writing games, categorizing toys or clothes or favorite foods, and reading journals, will help children draw meaning out of written material. This second edition includes a new chapter describing the benefits of encouraging children to keep a journal of their personal reactions to books, the value of writing in the books they own (underlining, writing in the margins, and making a personal index) and a variety of reading activities to help children interact with writers and their books. Dr. Wiener has also expanded and updated his fascinating discussion of recommended books for children of all ages, complete with plot summaries. Written in simple, accessible prose, Any Child Can Read Better offers sensible advice for busy parents concerned with their children's education.
