The chiefs of staff in the PMO have become key figures in modern government as they try to make the task manageable.

The Founders were aware of the need for leadership but wary of the ease of control.

To whom or what must presidents connect? The federal government is intricately connected to governance in the fifty states and thousands of localities. Bureaucrats learn to serve presidents and their associates. The challenge for

Abstract:

The actual dynamics of fluid flows is highly dependent on the surrounding environment, whose influence is mathematically described through the prescription of suitable boundary conditions. Boundary conditions play a crucial role, as they select solutions which are compatible with external constraints. Accounting for these constraints may be comparatively simple for idealized geometries but for general ones it represents a delicate (and sometimes nerve-probing!) task. In fact, the treatment of the boundary conditions often makes the difference in the quality of fluid dynamic simulations. This c

Abstract:

Clemency tends to make philosophers of punishment uncomfortable, whatever their predilections. For retributivists it is problematic because it threatens equality of treatment and introduces disproportionality. For utilitarians it is problematic because it involves a departure from what would best serve society. A mandatory sentence for murder moves the locus of clemency to the executive. This chapter examines the arguments for and against executive clemency. The views of Kant and Beccaria are canvassed.

In this regard, there are five lessons that can serve as useful guideposts for those who are called to assist the president in this task.

The sanctity of political speech is a key element of the U.S. Constitution and a cornerstone of the American republic.

In practical terms, this decision meant that in order to pass constitutional muster, any laws limiting money in politics must be narrowly tailored and serve a compelling state interest. The lone state interest the Court was willing to entertain was the mitigation of corruption. In order to reach this argume

Music notation, often thought of as a neutral vehicle of communication between composer and performer—a mere memory aid or set of performance instructions—is in truth hardly unbiased.

This essay studies the influences of notation on traditional analytical understandings of music and how through the lens of disability––particularly blindness––those understandings can be “reread.” The discussion explores narratives of analysis that explicate musical structure by relying on visual means

Abstract:

Infectious endocarditis (IE) is an infection of the heart’s innermost layer, the endothelium. Most cases require a predisposing injury to the endocardium to serve as a nidus for thrombus development, which in turn acts as nidus for bloodstream microorganisms. These intravascular microorganisms can result from dental and other invasive procedures, infected vascular catheters, and skin lesions. However, most episodes of IE result from transient bacteremia during menial tasks, such as chewing and brushing one’s teeth. Blood cultures and echocardiograms are critical for IE diagnosis.

Abstract:

DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION ranks among the most influential of modern scientific theories. Applying the methodology of COGNITIVE SEMANTICS , this study investigates how metaphors based on domains of JOURNEY, STRUGGLE, TREE and HUMAN AGENCY serve to conceptualize key concepts of Darwin’s theory — such as evolutionary change, natural selection, and relationships among organisms. At the outset the author identifies original metaphors in The Origin of Species, to turn to their realizations in modern discourse on evolution in later chapters. Thus, the study uncovers how metaphors contribute to st

Abstract:

This chapter by Laurent Gayer examines one part-time fighter or ‘intermittent combatant’ in the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) in 2013. The case of “Iqbal” both updates existing accounts of an older vanguard of MQM militants, and offers a window onto ways violence may serve as a form of labor exchange in Karachi neighborhoods. Gayer characterizes militancy as a type of ‘dirty work’ that includes collecting extortion money, land grabbing, creating public disturbances and fighting enemy groups when necessary. Whilst Iqbal joined the MQM to access opportunities for labor and reward, as a non-Moha

Abstract:

The course of the US-China competition has a decisive impact on the emerging architecture of international relations. Its key events can serve as indicators of how conflicts between major powers are likely to develop and what factors may deter or increase the potential for confrontation. The authors of the Center for North American Studies at IMEMO have developed an annual academic report format to monitor and analyze current trends in the rivalry between the United States and China. The main focus of the first issue was the coverage of US federal government policy and rhetoric in 2023 related

Abstract:

One of the essential components of the safe vaccination system is the surveillance of events supposedly attributable to vaccination or immunization (ESAVI). This surveillance is aimed at early detection of any adverse events that may occur following immunization, in order to monitor and classify risks related to a vaccine, the manufacturing process, transportation, storage, administration, and any preexisting condition in the vaccinated person, and to rule out an association between the event and the vaccine. This manual has been adapted for the Region of the Americas from the Global Manual on
