Full textAbstract:
From home mortgages to iPhones, basic elements of our daily lives depend on international markets. The astonishing complexity of these exchanges may seem ungoverned. Yet the global economy remains deeply bound by rules. Far from the staid world of treaties and state-to-state diplomacy, governance increasingly relies on a different class of international market regulation—soft law—composed of voluntary standards, best practices, and recommended guidance created by a motley assortment of organizations. Voluntary Disruptions argues that international soft law is deeply political, shaping the winners and losers of globalization. Some observers focus on soft law’s potential to solve problems and coordinate market participants. Voluntary Disruptions widens the discussion, shifting attention to the ways soft law provides new political resources to some groups while not to others and alters the sites of contestation and the actors who participate in them. Highlighting two mechanisms—legitimacy claims and arena expansion—the book explains how soft law, typically viewed as limited by its voluntary nature, disrupts and transforms the politics of economic governance. Using financial regulation as its laboratory, Voluntary Disruptions explains the remarkable pre-crisis alignment of US and European approaches to governing markets, the rise and prominence of transnational industry associations in the 1990s and 2000s, and the ambivalence of US reforms toward international market cooperation in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Rethinking scholarly and policy approaches to international soft law, Voluntary Disruptions answers enduring and pressing questions about global finance, international relations, and power.

Full textAbstract:
Building on the idea of latent political potential, this book offers an alternative interpretation of the contemporary far right. Its main thesis is that relations between colonizers and colonized implanted a legacy that, under certain conditions, translated into support for the far right in France. To make this argument, the book offers a model for the study of political potentials that combines a situational approach to identity relations, a networks approach to subcultural practice, and a historical approach to political opportunity. The early part of this book traces the origins and development of this potential among the European settlers of French Algeria. The middle part examines its transmission via voluntary associations and its channeling into mainstream parties. The latter part examines the conditions under which this potential redirected into the far right. Starting with colonial Algeria, after independence in 1962 the book moves between politics at three levels: France, the southeast region, and Toulon (which in 1995 became the largest city in postwar Europe to elect a far-right administration). Complementing economic explanations for nativism, this book argues that our understanding of modernity errs when it disregards the potency of anachronistic remnants.

Full textAbstract:
At least 10% of children have a development disorder which could be disabling. Many children with developmental conditions can be identified in pregnancy or shortly after birth, or will be referred from a child health programme with atypical or delayed development. Early identification of developmental disorders helps children to achieve their potential and facilitates support to their families. Assessment by a multidisciplinary child development team should lead to the provision of family-friendly services coordinated by a lead professional. Children require packages of care, provided through Education, Health, and Care plans/child plans to optimize learning. To meet families’ needs for information, family support, and respite, coordinated packages need to be commissioned from health and social care, education, and the voluntary sector.

Full textAbstract:
Social scientists and political theorists have recently come to realize the potential importance of the classical Greek world and its legacy for testing social theories. Meanwhile, some Hellenists have mastered the techniques of contemporary social science. They have come to recognize the value of formal and quantitative methods as a complement to traditional qualitative approaches to Greek history and culture. Some of the most exciting new work in social science is now being done within interdisciplinary domains for which recent work on Greece provides apt case studies. This book features essays examining the role played by democratic political and legal institutions in economic development; the potential for inter-state cooperation and international institutions within a decentralized ecology of states; the relationship between state government and the social networks arising from voluntary associations; the interplay between political culture, informal politics, formal institutions and political change; and the relationship between empirical and formal methods of analysis and normative political theory. In sum, this book introduces readers to the emerging field of “social science ancient history.”

Full textAbstract:
This chapter asks why Pennsylvanians adopted a radical manifesto as their state constitution in September 1776. Analyzing mobilization against British rule from the Intolerable Acts to Independence, it looks at how Pennsylvanians formed a kind of shadow government of ad hoc political institutions. This included a voluntary militia and a committee system based on town and county meetings, which were given particular potency by the Continental Association. The committee system, in league with the Continental Congress, formed the fundamental building block of the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776. By forming a government that fused colonial traditions of political mobilization, widespread participation, and the rhetoric of popular sovereignty, Pennsylvanians came to adopt a radically democratic form of government that embodied the revolutionary spirit of 1776.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 1 explains the early efforts to fix military problems that had been exposed during the South African War (1899–1902) and make the armies of Britain, India, and the dominions compatible. It traces the deficiencies identified by the Elgin commission (1903), the recommendations advanced by the Esher committee for War Office reconfiguration (1904), and the military reforms of Secretary of State for War Richard Haldane to implement Esher’s recommendations, create an expeditionary force for continental warfare, and establish a Territorial Force for home defence duties and, potentially, second-line expeditionary contingents. The British Army, which was perennially short of manpower and operating on a voluntary basis for enlistments, could not afford to ignore potential contributions from overseas. The chapter also explains how Haldane managed to sell the dominions on military standardization and a general staff for the empire.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the people who provide clinical care and support in the community, including doctors, nurses, social workers, support workers, and psychologists who may be employed by the local health or social care authority, voluntary organizations, or private healthcare providers or occupational schemes. This chapter considers the evidence available from large-scale surveys in several countries of the opinions of mental health-care professionals about community coercion and their experiences of its use. Differences between different staff groups will be identified and conclusions drawn about what can or should be learnt from this. The often markedly similar staff attitudes will be described and the potential implications of this for practice outlined. Where formal powers to compel exist, their use varies both between and within jurisdictions and it is generally believed that staff attitudes are a key factor in this.

Stroud, Sarah. Lying as Infidelity. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198808930.003.0005.
Full textAbstract:
Why is it wrong to lie? This chapter offers a clarification of what such questions presuppose. It then canvasses some natural potential answers drawn from leading moral theories. These often seek to ground the wrongness of lying in the wrongness of (intentional) deception, given that when we lie we are typically aiming to induce a false belief in our interlocutor (i.e., to deceive him). The present chapter offers a different diagnosis of the wrongness of lying. The account highlights the structural parallels between telling someone something and promising someone something: both are voluntary acts in which the speaker takes on responsibilities vis-à-vis her addressee which she did not have before. The proposal is that lies, like insincere promises, are wrong in virtue of being faithless pledges. The chapter thus resurrects in a somewhat different form W. D. Ross’s suggestion that lying violates the pro tanto duty of fidelity.

Full textAbstract:
An increasing body of evidence around the importance of the first 5 years of life has led to rapid development in recent years in services for children of this age, with a policy emphasis on joint working by health visitors and early years practitioners. This coincided with a large expansion in the number of 2-year-old children accessing free early education across the maintained, private, voluntary, and independent sectors. An integrated health and early education review was introduced to review children’s progress at age 2–2½ years, combining the child health programme review at that key contact point and the statutory early years progress check at age 2 years. Carrying out a joint review has placed new demands on the skillsets of both health and early years practitioners, but implementation and follow-up research studies have highlighted some of the potential benefits of joint working for children and families.

Full textAbstract:
Diseases that affect the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) interfere with normal nerve transmission and cause weakness of voluntary muscles. The two most commonly encountered are acquired myasthenia gravis (MG) and the Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). Acquired MG is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies are directed towards receptors at the NMJ. In 85% of patients, IgG antibodies against the postsynaptic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) are found (seropositive MG). The thymus gland appears to be involved in the production of these which cause an increase rate of degradation of AChR resulting in a decreased receptor density resulting in a reduced postsynaptic end-plate potential following motor nerve stimulation and leading to muscle weakness. Although all voluntary muscles can be affected, ocular, bulbar, respiratory, and proximal limb weakness predominates. In the majority of seronegative patients, an antibody directed towards a NMJ protein called muscle specific tyrosine kinase (MUSK) is found. Anti-MUSK MG is characterized by severe bulbar and respiratory muscle weakness. Diagnosis of MG requires a high degree of clinical suspicion coupled with pharmacological and electrophysiological testing, and detection of the various causative antibodies. Treatment of MG involves enhancing neuromuscular transmission with long-acting anticholinesterase agents and immunosuppression. Acute exacerbations are treated with either plasma exchange or intravenous immunoglobulin. Myasthenic crisis is associated with severe muscle weakness that necessitates tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. LEMS is an autoimmune disease in which IgG antibodies are directed towards the pre-synaptic voltage-gated calcium channels at the NMJ. It is often associated with malignant disease (usually small cell carcinoma of the lung). Autonomic dysfunction is prominent and patients show abnormal responses to neuromuscular blocking drugs.

The Concentrate Questions and Answers series offers the best preparation for tackling exam questions and coursework. Each book includes typical questions, suggested answers with commentary, illustrative diagrams, guidance on how to develop your answer, suggestions for further reading, and advice on exams and coursework. This chapter examines the law on corporate insolvency. It considers the important and topical subject of corporate rescue, reviewing, in particular, administration (including pre-packaged administrations) and Company Voluntary Arrangements. The chapter addresses several issues relating to liquidation, including: winding up petitions and the meaning of ‘inability to pay debts’; assets available to creditors; distribution of assets to creditors; priority of claims; the pari passu principle; and transaction avoidance (dispositions of property after the commencement of winding up; transactions at an undervalue; preferences; voidable floating charges; and transactions defrauding creditors). The potential liability of directors on a company’s insolvent liquidation is considered, concentrating on wrongful and fraudulent trading and disqualification.

Full textAbstract:
Global legal harmonization is an aspect of transnational law whereby a family of norms is formed by a non-state legal order. Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs)—diverse in terms of their countries of origin, size, investment strategies, asset allocation tactics, and underlying purposes—contribute to the harmonization by setting and enforcing cross-border ethical norms and governance standards. This chaper examines aspects of SWFs as transnational lawmakers, a significant phenomenon for the global family of standards and a potential challenge for state-based legal orders. It examines SWF adoption of general legal principles and customs as advanced by a global civil society and through standardized contract forms and conduct codes; voluntary enactment of informal soft laws; and creation of norm-setting institutions. It concludes that SWFs are part of a diffused, multilevel, coordinated, political system that defies state-centric paradigms, contributing to the dynamism that defines transnational law while creating concerns related to legitimacy, democratic authority, and democratic deficit.

Shaw, Pamela. The motor neurone disorders. Oxford University Press, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780198569381.003.0524.
Full textAbstract:
The motor neurone diseases are a group of disorders in which there is selective loss of function of upper and/or lower motor neurones in the motor cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord resulting in impairment in the nervous system control of voluntary movement. The term ‘motor neurone disease’, often abbreviated to ‘MND’, is used differently in different countries. In the United Kingdom it is used as an umbrella term to cover the related group of neurodegenerative disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the commonest variant, as well as progressive muscular atrophy, primary lateral sclerosis, and progressive bulbar palsy. However, in many other countries amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, referred to as ALS, has been adopted as the umbrella term for this group of clinical variants of motor system degeneration. There is a tendency now internationally to use the ALS/MND abbreviation to cover this group of conditions. Careful diagnosis within the motor neurone diseases is essential for advising about prognosis, potential genetic implications, and for identifying those with acquired lower motor neurone syndromes who may benefit for the administration of immunomodulatory therapy.

Full textAbstract:
Normative analysis in economics has usually aimed at satisfying individuals’ preferences. Its conclusions have supported a long-standing liberal tradition of economics that values economic freedom and views markets favourably. However, behavioural research shows that individuals’ preferences, as revealed in choices, are often unstable, and vary according to contextual factors that seem irrelevant for welfare. The Community of Advantage proposes a reformulation of normative economics that is compatible with what is now known about the psychology of choice. Other such reformulations have assumed that people have well-defined ‘latent’ preferences which, because of psychologically-induced errors, are not always revealed in actual choices. According to these reformulations, the economist’s job is to reconstruct latent preferences and to design policies to satisfy them. The argument of this book is that latent preference and error are psychologically ungrounded concepts, and that economics needs to be more radical in giving up rationality assumptions. The book advocates a kind of normative economics that does not use the concept of preference. Its recommendations are addressed, not to an imagined ‘social planner’, but to citizens, viewed as potential parties to mutually beneficial agreements. Its normative criterion is the provision of opportunities for individuals to participate in voluntary transactions. Using this approach, many of the normative conclusions of the liberal tradition are reconstructed. It is argued that a well-functioning market economy is an institution that individuals have reason to value, whether or not their preferences satisfy conventional axioms of rationality, and that individuals’ motivations in such an economy can be cooperative rather than self-interested.

Full textAbstract:
El propósito del presente libro es el de contribuir al desarrollo de la ciencia y la tecnología en países de América Latina desde un enfoque inclusivo y sostenible. Las investigaciones aportan elementos para la sostenibilidad, la repetitividad de la iniciativa científica, así como criterios e indicadores para la medición de resultados y futuros impactos en la aplicación de nuevas tecnologías y herramientas para mejorar procesos en la estructura gubernamental, en la sociedad y la empresa en particular. El libro ha sido estructurado en trece capítulos, uno por cada tema de investigación abordado por diferentes grupos de investigadores provenientes de universidades nacionales e internacionales. El orden en que son presentados los capítulos responde en un primer bloque al análisis de tendencias en materia de metodologías y estrategias para la innovación, en un segundo bloque se da cuenta de avances en materia de metodologías y diseño de prototipos aplicados al ecosistema empresarial desde una perspectiva ingenieril para en un tercer y último bloque de capítulos presentar aspectos asociados al impacto de las tecnologías emergentes en diferentes sectores económicos. Cada capítulo contiene componentes básicos: el título de la investigación, sus autores con datos referenciales, el resumen que incluye las palabras clave, metodología y marco referencial o teórico, resultados, conclusiones y referencias bibliográficas. En algunos de los temas investigados se aplica de manera transversal el enfoque de la innovación social, el cual es capaz de poner de acuerdo voluntades diversas para solventar, en forma comprometida, necesidades y problemas latentes en territorios específicos. Este enfoque prioriza desde el inicio, en el diseño de soluciones a necesidades o problemáticas, la transformación social basada en el aprendizaje, la originalidad y la sostenibilidad de los resultados. En temas de aprendizaje interactivo y digital se presentan los resultados de un estudio de vigilancia tecnológica de plataformas MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) y su aplicación en el aprendizaje de ciencias básicas haciendo uso de un campus virtual en el LMS, Moodle. Con relación a aportes a la industria de la construcción, se presentan los resultados de un estudio de vigilancia tecnológica en un periodo de veinte años sobre ecoinnovación en edificaciones. De igual manera se presenta la descripción de un prototipo arquitectónico de una vivienda modular sostenible, para superar el déficit de vivienda en las zonas rurales, el cual puede ser replicado en otras zonas. Complementariamente, se aportan conocimientos sobre avances para ejecutar y monitorear actividades en el ciclo de vida de un producto, tal es el caso de los modelos tridimensionales digitales que sirven como soporte y fuente de información necesaria en la organización y el aporte que representan las metodologías ágiles, como el SCRUM, aplicada en el ecosistema empresarial para lograr mayor eficiencia y efectividad en los proyectos de nuevos productos. Un tema que podría ser profundizado para impulsar procesos de innovación en nuestros países es lo relacionado con la capacidad de absorción tecnológica en las empresas, la cual se entiende como la habilidad de la empresa de reconocer, internalizar y explotar el conocimiento tecnológico externo para generar valor en forma de nuevos productos o servicios. Al respecto se presenta en uno de los capítulos, los resultados que se obtuvieron al investigar esta capacidad en el sector industrial manufacturero de Colombia. Se espera que la presente publicación sea potenciada al máximo en el avance de desarrollos y aplicaciones tecnológicas que propugnen por mejorar cada vez más la calidad de vida de las personas y la competitividad tanto del sector empresarial como gubernamental.
