Full text
Abstract:
This chapter explores a distributive principle that is integral to pragmatic Confucian democracy—what I call Confucian democratic sufficientarianism. Confucian democratic sufficientarianism critically embraces liberal sufficientarianism’s positive thesis stipulating the threshold of sufficiency but roundly rejects the negative thesis, which allows unlimited desert-based inequalities beyond the threshold of sufficiency. After deriving four propositions from classical Confucianism (namely, equal sufficiency, objectively high threshold standard, deserved inequalities, and constrained inequality) and presenting them as constituting the classical Confucian doctrine of sufficiency, the chapter then reconstructs it into Confucian democratic sufficientarianism by installing public equality as a side constraint that prevents deserved inequalities beyond the threshold of sufficiency from eroding an equal social relationship among citizens. Confucian democratic sufficientarianism is distinguished importantly from liberal democratic sufficientarianism as well because its main currency of distribution is not so much equal public standing as such, but the well-being of the people.

Full text
Abstract:
This introductory chapter calls attention to the limitations of oppositional politics in initiating change, particularly due to the underlying binary systems on which oppositional epistemologies and practices are generally based. At the same time this chapter advocates for a post-oppositional resistance as an alternative to conventional oppositional thinking and scholarship. These alternatives are described as “threshold theories” to underscore their nonbinary, liminal, potentially transformative status. Threshold theories facilitate and enact movements “betwixt and between” divergent worlds, enabling us to establish fresh connections among distinct (and sometimes contradictory) perspectives, realities, peoples, theories, texts, and/or worldviews. Finally, this chapter looks at Gloria Anzaldúa's theories and practice of nepantleras and nepantla to consider some of the forms that these nonoppositional threshold theories can take.

Abstract:
The 1973 paper by Jacquet and Lajtha, was a pivotal report in understanding the effects of opioids on nociception, as it investigated the effects of morphine on different brain structures. To do this, the authors used a microinjection technique that allowed them to specifically target subcortical sites. The animals used in this study were rats, and evaluation of the nociceptive threshold was based on the behavioural reaction to electrical shock. Two reactions were evaluated: flinch or jump responses. The main result was that, depending on the dose and the site of injection, morphine produced either an increase in nociceptive threshold (analgesia), or a decrease in the nociceptive threshold (hyperalgesia). The authors also reported severe effects characterized by hyper-reactivity and violent uncontrolled jumping in stereotyped circular leaps when morphine was administered in the periaqueductal grey matter.

This chapter defines term and preterm delivery and explores the ethical concerns in delivery at the threshold viability. It examines the medical and ethical issues associated with elective delivery prior to 39 weeks gestation, do-not-resuscitate orders in the delivery room, and maternal illness and illicit behavior that jeopardize the fetus before birth. The beneficence-based moral obligations of practitioners working in the fields of obstetrics, neonatology and pediatrics are discussed, as well as the beneficence-based moral obligations of pregnant women. Additionally the knotty ethical problems of DNR decisions in the delivery room and the equally difficult decision-making that needs to take place in the event that the mother is declared brain dead are both covered in the chapter.

Abstract:
The writing of this book was triggered by a twofold desire: to bridge the unacceptable gap between the positive rules of the international law governing armed hostilities and actual state practice, and to reduce the humanitarian suffering caused by this reality. The current law does not seem to be optimal in balancing the different interests of states’ militaries and the humanitarian agenda. As summarized in this concluding chapter, in response to this challenge, this book offers a new paradigm based on reality that may elevate the humanitarian threshold by replacing the currently problematic imperatives imposed upon militaries with professionally-based, therefore attainable, requirements. The suggested paradigm may have some side benefits, as well. It will clarify the contours of the law and offer criteria for judging the belligerents’ conduct.

This chapter focuses on the originality of the communal political experience, which took shape around the horizontal ties between the cives, whose strength was able to break the traditional nexus between power and social pre-eminence, even that of the emperor himself. Libertas, in terms of political autonomy based on custom, then became one of the structuring words of the great narrative elaborated by the communes, part of a broader ideology of civil life that, through an ancient lexicon (consul, res publica, iurisdictio, etc.), articulated a completely new kind of content. The chapter then focuses on the threshold represented by the advent of the Societas Populi, which introduced the category of bonum commune.

In this chapter the concept of ‘authorisation’, in the context of the general prohibition, is explored. The process of obtaining authorisation through a Part 4A permission is explained. Next, the threshold conditions that a firm must meet, both on authorisation and subsequently, are given. The key concept of passporting within the European Economic Area (EEA) is explained for firms based in the EEA and the UK. The four principal categories of persons who are exempted from authorisation requirements are discussed. Finally, this chapter examines how a firm’s permission can be varied or cancelled, and how the regulator can impose requirements upon the firm to take or not to take some specified action.

Abstract:
This chapter offers an alternative to more conventional versions of identity politics—transformational identity politics. Transformational identity politics represent nonbinary models of identity; differential subjectivities; an expanded, deeply multiplicitous concept of the universal; and relational epistemologies that facilitate the creation of new forms of commonalities. Although identity politics originated in a space of intersectionality that embraced multiple, complex identities, this chapter argues that contemporary uses of identity politics have become too oppositional to effect radical change. However, rather than entirely rejecting identity-based politics and the personalized experiences on which they're based, the chapter redefines identity by anchoring it in a metaphysics of interconnectedness. Through an analysis of Paula Gunn Allen's, Gloria Anzaldúa's, and Audre Lorde's threshold positionings (their creative use of identity politics, as it were), this chapter illustrates some of the forms transformational identity politics can take.

Full text
Abstract:
Biological effects of radiation have been interpreted based on the assumption that DNA is the primary target, but recent research has shown that non-targeted mechanisms may affect cells that are not directly exposed. The most important effect in humans from low doses of radiation is the induction of cancer, but risks of other effects such as cataract and cardiac or circulatory disease are becoming apparent. Epidemiological studies of Japanese survivors of atomic bombs demonstrate a clear linear relationship between solid cancer incidence and organ dose. This is supported by other epidemiological data. This has become the gold standard for prediction of malignancy based on a linear no-threshold ‘LNT’ extrapolation, which links risk directly to radiation dose. However, the risk calculations involve many assumptions and approximations. They are designed to provide guidance on which a workable protection framework can be based. It is important that practitioners are aware of their limitations.

Full text
Abstract:
Decision making is the process by which alternatives are deliberated and chosen based on the values and goals of the decision maker. In this chapter, we describe recent progress in understanding how living organisms make decisions and the implications for engineering artificial systems with decision-making capabilities. Nature appears to re-use design principles for decision making across a hierarchy of organizational levels, from cells to organisms to entire populations. One common principle is that decision formation is realized by accumulating sensory evidence up to a threshold, approximating the optimal statistical technique of sequential analysis. Sequential analysis has applications spanning from cryptography to clinical drug testing. Artificial perception based on sequential analysis has advanced robot capabilities, enabling robust sensing under uncertainty. Future applications could lead to individual robots, or artificial swarms, that perceive and interact with complex environments with an ease and robustness now achievable only by living organisms.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter investigates how languages encode justification and truth. The authors argue that many, perhaps all, languages have conventionalized ways to track speakers’ justification for and commitment to the truth of their assertions. With respect to justification, some evidentials track whether the speaker’s evidence meets a certain threshold of reliability. They illustrate justification-based evidentials in Cuzco Quechua, Nivacle, St’át’imcets, Nɬeʔkepmxcín, and English. They further show that the types of evidence that count as providing justification are very similar across all these languages. With respect to truth, they investigate verum emphasis in German, English, and Gitksan; they find striking cross-linguistic similarities in the properties of the construction. Finally, they propose that the discourse conditions under which speakers encode truth are similar to those under which they encode justification. Both justification-based evidentials and verum appear when the speaker needs to defend his assertions against implied or explicit disagreement or skepticism.

Abstract:
This coda looks to the future of the interview. With the advent of so-called Web 2.0 the threshold of public and private is radically shifting. For the interview, historically positioned on this boundary, the possibilities are manifold, if not yet certain. Methodologically, the long-standing dominance of interviewing within the social sciences is being called into question as web-based and social media platforms generate big data pools. The chapter discusses the import of chatbots and formats such as Reddit’s AMA for the interview’s future. It speculates that as the interview method becomes less tethered to data collection, within the literary field it may well become more overtly associated with the life writing tradition, recognized for its aesthetic features and creative possibilities.

Full text
Abstract:
With decreased adherence to positive airway pressure therapy to treat sleep apnoeas, non-conventional treatments based on new therapeutic targets are emerging. In central sleep apnoea syndrome associated with heart failure, phrenic nerve stimulation and non-conventional pharmacological treatments such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, gas therapies, and cardiac devices are novel alternative therapies. In obstructive sleep apnoea, a better understanding of predominant pathophysiological pathways is characterizing diverse clinical phenotypes. For patients with low arousal threshold, sedatives or hypnotics might be effective, whereas for those with unstable ventilatory control, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors or oxygen might improve obstructive sleep apnoea. For patients with upper airway muscle dysfunction, an increase in pharyngeal tone might be beneficial. This chapter describes ‘experimental’ therapies and novel technologies to treat these disorders.

Full text
Abstract:
We are moral equals, but in virtue of what? The most plausible answers to this question have pointed to our higher agential capacities, but we vary in the degrees to which we possess those capacities. How could they ground our equal moral standing, then? This chapter argues that they do so only indirectly. Our moral equality is most directly grounded in a social practice of equality, a practice that serves the purpose of mitigating our tendencies toward control and domination that interpreters of Rousseau call “inflamed amour-propre.” We qualify as participants in this practice of equality by possessing certain agential capacities, but it is our participation in the practice, and not the capacities themselves, that makes us moral equals. Thus, in contrast with recent accounts that simply posit a threshold above which capacity-variations are ignored, this chapter proposes moving from a capacity-based to a practice-based view of moral equality.

Full text
Abstract:
A computational model of interaction in anarchy is presented and used to predict the outcome of anarchy. Hobbes’ and Locke’s classic a priori analyses of the State of Nature are compared, including the reasons for their divergent conclusions. Several game-theoretic models of anarchy are examined that employ Hobbes’ realistic assumption that typically in anarchy some moderates most desire mutual cooperation, while other dominators most desire to exploit others’ cooperation. A priori type-based game-theoretic models yield inconsistent conclusions and rest upon unrealistic assumptions. A dynamical Variable Anticipation Threshold type-based model is explored, where individuals in anarchy modify their behavior as they learn from repeated interactions. Under quite general conditions, a population converges to Hobbes’ war of all against all even if only a small percentage of its members are dominators. This analysis gives a dynamical vindication of Hobbes’ conclusion that for a sizable population in anarchy, war is indeed inevitable.

Full text
Abstract:
The central question of this book is: how do states use cyber strategies to influence their rivals? This chapter introduces a theory of cyber coercion that considers the three main types of cyber strategies: disruption, espionage, and degradation. As a form of covert action, cyber coercion can represent ambiguous signals designed to probe adversary intentions and manage escalation risks. This chapter dissects the core logic of coercion and coercive diplomacy as they apply to cyber operations. After defining coercion and establishing the expected threshold of concessions based on surveying multiple studies, it then highlights debates about power and resolve in the traditional coercion literature to extract important considerations for empirical investigation. The inherent ambiguity, primacy of signaling, and temporary effects in cyber operations distort power and resolve in the digital domain.

Abstract:
Success in youth sport is underpinned by a range of chronological age- and biological maturity status-related factors which affect performance in a sex- and sport-specific manner. Pubertal changes in body size, shape, composition, muscle metabolism, muscle strength, aerobic fitness, and anaerobic fitness strongly influence sport performance but biological clocks run at different rates. As selection and retention in youth sport is based on chronological age, competition is not always on a level playing field. Young athletes benefit from exercise training but there is no convincing evidence of the existence of a ‘maturation threshold’ below which the effects of training will be minimal or will not occur, or of ‘windows of opportunity’ during which training effects are enhanced. Participation in sport provides a positive environment for the promotion of personal development but evidence is accumulating that elite youth sport also presents risks to current and future health and well-being.

Full text
Abstract:
There are three experimental methods for quantifying the flux of light incident on a photocathode: counting the anode output pulses initiated by photoelectrons—known as photon counting; measuring the DC current flowing at the anode—referred to as analogue detection, or charge integration; and determining the rms noise in the anode current—known as shot noise power detection. The statistical performances of the three methods, based on weighting factors, are compared, revealing the theoretical superiority of the photon-counting method. Optimal time allocation between signal and background measurement is derived for photon counting. An amplifier discriminator is the simplest and preferred instrumentation for photon counting, but setting the optimal counting threshold is ultimately a matter of judgement. This is because the plateau has a different slope for signal, background, and afterpulses. Rudiments of signal recovery instrumentation covering boxcar integrators, lock-in detection, and synchronous signal averaging are given.

Abstract:
Exploration by space probes has revealed many fascinating details about Earth’s planetary neighbours. Today we stand on the threshold of the next phase of planetary exploration and knowledge, with several space probe missions currently underway and others being planned. Probing the New Solar System discusses the latest findings that have contributed to a changed understanding of the solar system – and how the revised definition of a planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union affected this understanding. Each chapter includes some historical information, ‘Did you know?’ items of particular interest to readers, and photographs of objects in the solar system showing newly discovered features of the planets, their moons and of dwarf planets. This is an up-to-date record of the many recent discoveries made about our solar system and other planetary systems using ground-based and space probe technology. It has been written for people interested in astronomy, both professional and amateur, as well as for students and educators.
