Research Handbook on Natural Law Theory

Research Handbook on Natural Law Theory

Jonathan Crowe; Constance Y. Lee

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2019
sidottu
This thought-provoking Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of current research on natural law theory in ethics, politics and law, demonstrating the rigour and versatility of the tradition and offering an up-to-date picture of these ideas in the 21st century. Featuring contributions from leading international scholars in disciplines from law and government to philosophy and religious studies, the Handbook explores both the philosophical foundations of natural law thinking and its practical implications for law, politics and governance. Chapters showcase the breadth and diversity of contemporary natural law thought, going beyond the dominant Catholic and Thomist perspectives to investigate natural law ideas in a variety of religious and cultural traditions, such as Judaism, Islam and Confucianism, as well as African American and feminist theory. The Research Handbook on Natural Law Theory will prove an invaluable resource for scholars and students of law, legal theory, philosophy, politics and government, as well as theology and religious studies, who wish to engage with current thinking on natural law and its relevance to their fields. Legal practitioners and experts in public policy will also find its varied perspectives useful.

How Goes the War on Drugs?

How Goes the War on Drugs?

Jonathan P. Caulkins; Peter Reuter; Martin Y. Iguchi; James Chiesa

RAND
2005
pokkari
Presents a concise, accessible, objective view of where the United States has been, now stands, and is going in the future in its long "war on drugs." The authors assess the success of drug policies to date and review possible reasons why they have not been more successful. They recommend management of the drug problem for the long term, use of different policy levers depending on the situation, and tolerance of cross-state policy variation.

Immunosuppression and Human Malignancy

Immunosuppression and Human Malignancy

David Naor; Benjamin Y. Klein; Nora Tarcic; Jonathan S. Duke-Cohan

Humana Press Inc.
1990
sidottu
The immune system can deal effectively with the majority of viruses and bacteria, less effectively with parasites, and very poorly with cancer. Why is this so? Why are McFarlane Burnet's and Lewis Thomas' predictions that the immune system is in­ volved in ridding the body of cancer cells, encapsulated in the catchy phrase "immunologic surveillance," so difficult to experi­ mentally establish? Cancer differs from infectious agents in being derived from the host. Hence, it has been postulated that cancer cells lack anti­ gens that the immune system can recognize. They are not "im­ munogenic. " However, this argument is seriously weakened by the existence of numerous human autoimmune diseases, in which the immune system effectively recognizes and attacks a va­ riety of self tissues. Thus, the potential clearly exists for recogni­ tion of the surfaces of tumor cells. Professor Naor and his colleagues have written a book that explores another possible reason: cancer cells are recognized by the immune system-but is it possible that the consequence of recognition is inhibition of the immune system-by suppressor T cells or macrophages? The evolution of the malignant state may only occur in individuals who develop this suppression. This book reviews the evidence that suppressor cells, poorly characterized and difficult to study, may be of fundamental im­ portance in cancer. In fact, our incapacity to understand the na­ ture of suppressor cells and their mode of action is one of the ma­ jor problems in immunology research today.

Cause and Effect Business Analytics and Data Science

Cause and Effect Business Analytics and Data Science

Dominique Haughton; Jonathan Haughton; Victor S. Y. Lo

Apple Academic Press Inc.
2025
sidottu
Among the most important questions that businesses ask are some very simple ones: If I decide to do something, will it work? And if so, how large are the effects? To answer these predictive questions, and later base decisions on them, we need to establish causal relationships.Establishing and measuring causality can be difficult. This book explains the most useful techniques for discerning causality and illustrates the principles with numerous examples from business. It discusses randomized experiments (aka A/B testing) and techniques such as propensity score matching, synthetic controls, double differences, and instrumental variables. There is a chapter on the powerful AI approach of Directed Acyclic Graphs (aka Bayesian Networks), another on structural equation models, and one on time-series techniques, including Granger causality.At the heart of the book are four chapters on uplift modeling, where the goal is to help firms determine how best to deploy their resources for marketing or other interventions. We start by modeling uplift, discuss the test-and-learn process, and provide an overview of the prescriptive analytics of uplift.The book is written in an accessible style and will be of interest to data analysts and strategists in business, to students and instructors of business and analytics who have a solid foundation in statistics, and to data scientists who recognize the need to take seriously the need for causality as an essential input into effective decision-making.

Usability Testing of Medical Devices

Usability Testing of Medical Devices

P.E. Wiklund; Jonathan Kendler; Allison Y. Strochlic

CRC Press Inc
2015
sidottu
Usability Testing of Medical Devices covers the nitty-gritty of usability test planning, conducting, and results reporting. The book also discusses the government regulations and industry standards that motivate many medical device manufacturers to conduct usability tests.Since publication of the first edition, the FDA and other regulatory groups have modified their regulations and expectations regarding how medical device manufacturers should approach usability testing. Reflecting these changes, this Second Edition provides updated guidance to readers with an interest or direct role in conducting a usability test of a medical device or system. Key updates involve the 2011 FDA guidance on human factors engineering, requirements set forth by the third edition of IEC 60601 and closely related IEC 62366-1:2015, linking usability test tasks to risk analysis results, and analyzing root causes of use errors that occur during usability tests. Written by seasoned human factors specialists, Usability Testing of Medical Devices, Second Edition is an informative, practical, and up-to-date handbook for conducting usability tests of medical devices. The book helps ensure a smooth and painless development process—and thus, safe and effective medical devices.

Indices para la planificación y gestión de las aguas subterráneas

Indices para la planificación y gestión de las aguas subterráneas

Jonatan Rodolfo Abt

Editorial Academica Espanola
2012
pokkari
El objetivo general del trabajo es suministrar una herramienta para la planificaci n y gesti n de un acu fero, que constituya una base conceptual para abordar el estudio de acu feros en reas con caracter sticas hidrogeol gicas similares. Para ello se propone elaborar un ndice de estado del sistema hidrogeol gico (I.E.S) para evaluar la situaci n cuantitativa y cualitativa en que se encuentra el recurso h drico subterr neo en un determinado momento y conocer su variaci n temporal. El acu fero donde se desarrolla el estudio se encuentra ubicado en la Provincia de La Pampa, Argentina y del mismo se provee de agua potable a la ciudad de Gral. Pico. La explotaci n del agua subterr nea para consumo humano se ve limitada por un aumento en las concentraciones de fl or y ars nico. Se formul un ndice de estado del sistema hidrogeol gico (I.E.S) compuesto por un ndice de disminuci n del almacenamiento y un ndice de evoluci n hidroqu mica. Adem s se analiz su relaci n con el r gimen de explotaci n y las precipitaciones. El ndice desarrollado constituye una herramienta til para la toma decisiones oportunas, para garantizar la sustentabilidad del recurso h drico subterr neo.
