Ranzi, Gianluca, ed. Time-dependent behaviour and design of composite steel-concrete structures. Zurich, Switzerland: International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2749/sed018.

Full text

Abstract:

<p>Steel-concrete composite structures are widely used throughout the world for buildings and bridges. A distinguishing feature of this form of construction is the combination of concrete and steel components to achieve enhanced structural performance. <p>The time-dependent response of concrete and its infl uence on the service behaviour and design of composite structures are the main focus of this SED. For the fi rst time, a publication combines a state-of-the-art review of the research with the available design specifi cations of Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and USA. This publication intends to enhance the awareness of the service response of composite structures and of the latest research and standards’ developments. It is aimed at designers and researchers alike. <p>The review of research available in open literature is provided and arranged according to structural typologies, i. e. slabs, beams, and columns. It serves as background information for current service design rules and provides insight into the most recent research advancements. The review of available design guidelines presents the similarities and differences of the recommended service design procedures infl uenced by concrete time effects. Selected case studies of building and bridge projects show possible design approaches and the rationale required when dealing with the time-dependent response and design of composite structures. The authors of this publication are design engineers and academics involved in the service design and research on the time-dependent response of composite structures.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the unprecedented housing crisis that erupted in New York City at the end of World War II. At the end of the war, New Yorkers faced their worst housing shortage ever. The housing supply that had already been inadequate for the city's population and contained many substandard tenements had fallen even further behind, as construction virtually ceased during the Great Depression and the war. Meanwhile, demand was rising. Even the worst slum apartments found a market among African Americans who were moving north and discovering that de facto segregation confined them to a few crowded neighborhoods. By 1950, census figures showed that the city required an additional 430,000 dwelling units to properly house its population. This chapter looks at the rise of tenant activists and how they addressed the housing crisis via grassroots mobilizations in concert with leftist and liberal organizations, allowing them not only to retain, but also to institutionalize, the signal achievements of rent control and public housing.

Abstract:

What was the state of the mathematical science of navigation at the end of the 17th century? ‘Dead reckoning, longitude, and time’ describes the different techniques of sailing—plane sailing, Mercator sailing, middle-latitude sailing, and great-circle sailing—employed to set and reckon a course in the 17th‐18th centuries. Although longitude could be found by dead reckoning, a more reliable method was required to improve navigation. The Royal Observatory, founded in 1675, and the Board of Longitude, which followed in 1714, were crucial to the emergence of longitude methods by chronometers and lunar distances (or ‘lunars’). The work of key characters such as John Hadley and John Harrison is described.

Abstract:

Time management is a subject that concerns everybody: Male and female; rich and poor; young and old; leaders and followers; educated and uneducated; etc.It is a challenge that has to be faced squarely by everyone who is interested in accomplishing his/her tasks within the limited time available, and this time is equally endowed. This book is specifically focused on scholars, as role models for effective time management.These scholars could be at the primary school level, secondary school level, tertiary educational institutions (universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, etc.), research institutes/centers, etc.It is a challenge for them to lead other time users on effective management and utilization of time and also to go deep into research on various aspects of time management, so as to establish acceptable principles, models and theories on the subject matter.Although the book has the scholar in mind, other users of time in the various sectors of any economy would find this book very interesting and very useful.Good time management is the key factor to achieve so much more within the 24-hour-period endowed equally to mankind.Over the 24 years of his working life in the University, the authors has come to realist that most scholars in educational system and those in other levels of the educational sector are not according time management the attentions it deserves.The required attentions are: (i) in respect of its effective management to achieve desire results; and (ii) in respect of promoting it an a subject of study at various levels.This book is an attempt to address these two issues.

Abstract:

Neurological and neurosurgical emergencies require a time-critical response from retrieval services. Critical care interventions must be performed efficiently and the patient transferred to definitive care for intervention. Retrieval practitioners have a big role to play in preventing secondary brain injury by instituting neuroprotective measures early to ensure the best possible outcomes. Close monitoring is required to detect complications such as seizures and rising intracranial pressure. Skilled assessment and management of traumatic and non-traumatic intracranial haemorrhage is core business for retrieval services. New interventions for acute stroke have developed, further highlighting the requirement to get the right patient to the right facility at the right time. It is acknowledged that critical care interventions are not always appropriate for all patients. Local clinicians must also be supported by retrieval services to provide end of life care locally.

Abstract:

To get a measure of perfusion in absolute units from arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion MRI measurements, a further calibration step is required. Using a separate image acquired at the same time as the main ASL data, a number of options exist to calculate the required value of arterial blood magnetization. This chapter outlines common approaches, along with their differing strengths and weaknesses, including using a reference region of tissue, or computation of the necessary calibration factor in each voxel of the image.

Full text

Abstract:

The language appropriate to feature metaphysics is described. This language is one that induces no commitments to objects, although it allows an expression of a commitment to the reality of ontological borders. The language resembles, on the surface, weather reports, with apparently pleonastic subject terms. Feature-characterization languages are shown to be as expressively powerful as those that utilize first-order quantification. They differ from first-order languages because the traditional predication relation (which presupposes objects and properties and relations of those objects) is replaced by an “is at” relation that presupposes none of these things. It’s also shown that the presupposition of locations (in space and time) isn’t required either. The language requires, metaphysically, only that features co-occur.

Full text

Abstract:

Hemophilia is a complex disease of variable severity that affects clotting function and has significant implications in perioperative and emergency care. Hereditary or de novo mutations cause deficiencies in factor VIII or IX production, which may manifest as spontaneous bleeding into joint spaces, muscles, or other sites in severe forms of the disease. Intracranial bleeding is one of the most serious and often fatal complications. In a patient with abnormal bleeding, laboratory results indicative of hemophilia include an increased partial prothromboplastin time (PT), with normal prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (PTT/INR) and normal platelet count. The diagnosis is confirmed with specific factor assays. Advances in prophylaxis with factor replacement have improved outcomes and reduced bleeding episodes in hemophilia. However, patients with hemophilia may present emergently for operation and require factor replacement. In patients that have developed antibodies to factor replacement, clotting factor bypass agents may be required to control bleeding.

Full text

Abstract:

The primary endpoints of DBS adjustments are functional and as such, are related to the symptoms and signs due to the disease and consequent to stimulation. Thus, effective programming requires the programmer to be an astute clinician in the assessing symptoms and signs. This is not always a straight forward or intuitive process. For example, stimulation of the corticospinal tract can reduce tremor but interfere with other motor functions. Assesments often are complicated by the time required for changes to manifest rendering some assessments impractical in the confines of a clinic visit. A systematic approach is based on a knowledge of the disorder being treated and the regional anatomy around the DBS lead that allows anticipation of possible adverse effects. Effective assessments benefit from use of rating scales and adequate documentation.

Abstract:

This chapter analyses the duration of the ATT and the withdrawal of state parties which is covered by Article 24 of the ATT. The ATT imposes no time limits. Any state party may withdraw from the ATT upon formal notification to the Depositary (the UN Secretary-General). Withdrawal may take effect not less than ninety days after the Depositary receives the notification of withdrawal. A state party remains responsible for its financial and substantive obligations for the period until the withdrawal takes effect. The procedure for withdrawal requires formal notification to the Depositary (the UN Secretary-General), which may include the reasons for withdrawal but, as we have seen, is not obliged to do so. The Depositary is required to inform all other states parties of any notification of withdrawal.

Full text

Abstract:

The reign of Henry VIII represented a transitional phase in the religious history of England. Despite a brief flirtation with Protestantism in the 1530s, the regime never adopted a full-throated Reformation, and by the end of the reign English Christians were still required to accept nearly all the doctrines and customs that had prevailed in 1509. On the other hand, the break with Rome, the effective rejection of the doctrine of Purgatory, and the severe pruning of the cult of the saints represented a clear discontinuity with the past. Above all, the regime’s decision to legalize the English Bible for the first time in 130 years, and to require every parish church to obtain a copy, influenced the direction of English Christianity, and of English literature, for decades to come.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter addresses problems concerning the doctrine of res judicata in international commercial arbitration. It also asks the following questions: What are the possible consequences of the occurrence of res judicata issues in international commercial arbitration? Expressed differently, what interests are at stake? Duplicative proceedings of res judicata require vast resources. The parties are required to invest considerable amount of time, money, and efforts in proceedings which they already went through, without having any good reason to suppose that the second proceedings will lead to a more accurate decision than the first one. These situations only gave an additional burden on the party who prevailed in the first proceedings. Also, these proceedings create risk of inconsistent decisions. Coexistence of inconsistent decisions could seriously undermine the very existence of the arbitral process.

Abstract:

This chapter examines minstrel performance as the first construction of an absent black presence in American popular music, signified by the minstrel mask, and as the first sustained project involving the fetishization and commodification of black male subjectivity. Minstrelsy practice required a body at the level of performance, but not a black one; rather, it called for the representation of blackness constructed in the white American racial imagination of the time. After the Civil War, black male performers who began to access the entertainment industry in minstrel troupes, and they did so in large numbers, were required to do so in blackface since the black mask conformed to deeply embedded social stereotypes of black masculine subjectivity.

Abstract:

This chapter lays out the effects of the nuclear revolution for the process of state formation. With nuclear weapons, the costs of interstate war became unacceptably high, and policymakers preferred bargains to war. This initially led to calls that the state was obsolete and demands for alternatives to the state, like a world government. But these alternatives could not give credible guarantees that war would be avoided, and instead, intellectuals and policymakers advocated a different role for the state: rather than waging war, the state was to stockpile weapons in order to deter it. This role for the state would require less popular sacrifice over time, as war became less likely. Yet deterrence also meant an expanded role for the state, as it required greater centralization to prevent war. The state thus became more central to world order yet less capable of compelling sacrifice.

Full text

Abstract:

This final chapter argues that the policy cycle should be seen as just that—a cycle, rather than a linear process with a defined start and finish. To generate effective policies, the stages need to be revisited over time. In revisiting these steps, it will be necessary to ask new questions about the problem and the solutions. The chapter includes case studies that illustrate how non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention and control interventions do not always follow the four steps of the policy cycle in a linear process. This chapter emphasizes that NCDs are multifactorial conditions with complex causal webs that require a sophisticated mix of solutions that reflect the specific context. The theoretical background, practical pointers, and case studies from this book should help to equip policy-makers, researchers, health advocates, and students with the knowledge and tools required to reduce the burden of death and disability from NCDs.

Abstract:

Sleep disorders are an increasingly common reason for referral to the respiratory clinic, and our understanding of the different aetiologies is increasing. The commonest sleep disorder is sleep apnoea, but other sleep disorders can cause similar symptoms. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to regulate the normal sleep-wake cycle and often presents with similar symptoms to obstructive sleep apnoea, daytime hypersomnolence, and disturbed night-time sleeping but is largely underdiagnosed. This chapter discusses a patient who presented with symptoms of daytime somnolence and witnessed apnoeas and details the investigations required for a diagnosis of narcolepsy. It covers the more specialized sleep studies required for a clinical diagnosis and the treatment options available for patients with this condition.

Abstract:

Pregnant patients are at increased risk of difficult airway management due to both anatomic and physiologic changes that occur with pregnancy and during the process of labor. While the majority of surgical procedures on labor and delivery are performed with neuraxial anesthesia, general anesthesia may be required at any time. As such, all anesthesia professionals must be prepared at all times for unplanned and emergent obstetric airway management, including management of the difficult airway in the parturient. Strategies include assessment of patient risk early in labor, maintaining difficult airway equipment in the labor and delivery suites, conducting simulation scenarios of difficult and failed airway management, and following difficult airway management algorithms.

Full text

Abstract:

This final chapter concerns questions of the continuity of existence through time. There are various difficulties: if substances produce their own states, how is this compatible with divine concurrence? And if creation is continuous and yet their states are instantaneous, how does Leibniz avoid reducing monadic duration to a discontinuous aggregate of states? It is argued that a solution to these profound difficulties requires a recognition that monadic states are actually discrete and of finite duration, each containing other smaller states to infinity; yet they are physically continuous, in that each state issues by degrees from the preceding one, and there is no assignable instant at which change does not occur. It is also explained how momentaneous states and forces are to be understood in terms of Leibniz’s foundation for the differential calculus.

Wedgwood, Ralph. The Value of Rationality. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198802693.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

Rationality is a central concept for epistemology, ethics, and the study of practical reason. But what sort of concept is it? It is argued here that—contrary to objections that have recently been raised—rationality is a normative concept. In general, normative concepts cannot be explained in terms of the concepts expressed by ‘reasons’ or ‘ought’. Instead, normative concepts are best understood in terms of values. Thus, for a mental state or a process of reasoning to be rational is for it to be in a certain way good. Specifically, rationality is a virtue, while irrationality is a vice. What rationality requires of you at a time is whatever is necessary for your thinking at that time to be as rational as possible; this makes ‘rationally required’ equivalent to a kind of ‘ought’. Moreover, rationality is an “internalist” normative concept: what it is rational for you to think at a time depends purely on what is in your mind at that time. Nonetheless, rationality has an external goal—namely, getting things right in your thinking, or thinking correctly. The connection between rationality and correctness is probabilistic: if your thinking is irrational, that is bad news about your thinking’s degree of correctness; and the more irrational your thinking is, the worse the news is about your thinking’s degree of correctness. This account of the concept of rationality indicates how we should set about giving a substantive theory of what it is for beliefs and choices to be rational.

Full text

Abstract:

Inhalational anaesthetic agents have limited applications in the intensive care unit (ICU), as their delivery requires specific equipment, which are not routinely available. Sevoflurane and isoflurane are the two agents eligible for this purpose. They both show good clinical tolerance and versatility, but may raise cerebral blood flow above 1 minimum alveolar concentration. This property makes them unsuitable for sedation in patients suffering from acute brain injury. Sevoflurane is known to be partly metabolized via the cytochrome pathway in inorganic fluoride. This latter accumulates in a dose- and time-dependent manner, especially in a closed circuit with soda lime. However, no clinical renal injury has been proven, despite several studies reporting on sevoflurane in ICUs. A fresh gas flow above 2 L/min is required to limit inorganic fluoride build-up. Halogenates have been proven to allow efficient sedation in ICU patients for up to several days. They may be considered as therapeutic agents especially in refractory status asthmaticus. Insufficient data exist to recommend halogenates to treat status epilepticus. Nitrous oxide, in 50% oxygen, may serve to allow sedation/analgesia for short and moderately procedures. Xenon, an inert gas that discloses anaesthetic properties with extremely fast onset and recovery, and also has no haemodynamic side effects remains confined to the operating theatre. It requires specific anaesthetic machines and is, at present, too expensive to represent a routine inhalational anaesthetic agent.

The implication fromcausal finitism to discretenesswould be problematic for causal finitism asmany physical theories involve continuous space and time.However, the argument from causal finitism to discreteness is challenged, and it is argued that while causal finitism does provide intuitive support for the discreteness thesis, it does not require it. Interpretations of physics, and specifically of QuantumMechanics, are offered on which time is continuous but nonetheless causation is discrete in a way that coheres with causal finitism.

Abstract:

The chapter begins with testimonies about the aesthetic impact of the War Requiem at the time of its premiere followed by a survey of war-themed musical compositions that preceded Britten’s work and Britten’s reflection of his pacifism in musical works such as the Sinfonia da Requiem op. 20. Discussion is then focused on the commission from Coventry Cathedral that led to the War Requiem; Britten’s choice of nine poems by the war-poet Wilfred Owen, which Britten interspersed with traditional texts from the Roman Requiem Mass; and the choice of three specific soloists to represent three countries involved in World War II. The music of Britten’s work is discussed in terms of musical and structural symbolism, particularly in Britten’s choice of the tritone interval to express tension. Performance practice concerns address the staging of the work into three distinct strata, the vocal characteristics of the original three soloists, and the intended acoustical environment of Britten’s conception.

Abstract:

This commentary analyses Article 7.3.6 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning restitution with respect to contracts to be performed at one time. Under Art 7.3.6, when a contract to be performed at one time is terminated, either party may claim restitution of whatever it has supplied under the contract, provided that such party concurrently makes restitution of whatever it has received under the contract. This commentary discusses contracts to be performed at one time, concurrent restitution, reasonable allowance for restitution in kind that is not possible or appropriate, compensation for expenses reasonably required to preserve or maintain the performance received, rules on non-performance, rights of third parties with respect to performance, and burden of proof relating to restitution.

Abstract:

This paper proposes a theory of time that takes the notion of passage as its basic primitive. Any notion of passage that is worthy of that name should make for real change across time. It is argued that real change across time in turn requires the obtaining of incompatible facts. The proposed theory will therefore be a form of fragmentalism, which makes room for the obtaining of incompatible facts by taking the world to exhibit a type of fragmented structure. The preferred form of fragmentalism and the primitive notion of passage are elucidated in some detail. It is argued that the resulting picture resolves the problem of change and meets the puzzling yet necessary conditions for the reality of passage

Abstract:

Heidegger argues that authenticity requires anticipatory resoluteness in the face of death. But interpreters have disagreed on the phenomenon that Heidegger has in mind when he writes about “death.” This chapter—the Foreword to Carol White’s Time and Death—reviews and catalogues the variety of different interpretations of the central concept in Heidegger’s work. Death, Dreyfus points out, “has both an individual and a cultural instantiation.” This means that the phenomenon of text bears both on authentic individuality in the face of the possibility of the impossibility of being there, and authentic world transformations in the face of the possibility of world collapse.

Abstract:

The delivery of surgical care in modern healthcare systems has undergone a significant change in recent years. Increasing patient demands, and technological and pharmacological advances have enabled more complex surgery to be undertaken on patients with greater co-morbidities. In addition, new techniques have seen the development of day and short-stay surgery, enabling patients to spend less time in hospitals. These advances have required significant adaptation of surgical nursing skills, and this chapter gives an outline context to new models of surgery and the implications for nursing.
