Download or read book Derecho de da os principios morales y justicia social written by Papayannis, Diego M. and published by Marcial Pons, Ediciones Jurídicas y Sociales. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riesgos y daños, de Jules L. Coleman, publicado originalmente en 1992, es el primer testimonio comprehensivo de que el derecho privado también puede ser interesante para la filosofía. Su influencia ha sido enorme, en grado tal que resulta difícil comprender el desarrollo de la teoría del derecho privado sin tomar nota del impacto que Riesgos y daños ha tenido en la disciplina. Todavía hoy, esta obra conserva plenamente su vigencia, en tanto sigue siendo el punto de partida obligado para quien desee embarcarse en el estudio de los fundamentos de la responsabilidad civil. En conmemoración de los veinte años de la publicación de Riesgos y daños, la Universidad de Girona organizó unas jornadas los días 17 y 18 de diciembre de 2012. Este volumen reúne las contribuciones presentadas por los profesores Carlos Bernal, Jules L. Coleman, John Gardner, Martín Hevia, Tsachi Keren-Paz, Diego M. Papayannis y Carlos F. Rosenkrantz. Las ponencias se centran fundamentalmente en las distintas concepciones del derecho de daños y de la justicia correctiva que Jules L. Coleman defendió a lo largo de su trayectoria académica. El lector encontrará en el contenido de estos trabajos una amplia gama de interpretaciones, expuestas con rigor analítico, sobre la mejor manera de comprender la práctica de la reparación de daños. La teoría del derecho y la filosofía moral y política parecen darse cita en el ámbito de la responsabilidad extracontractual, campo en el cual los filósofos han sostenido con plausibilidad posiciones muy dispares que van desde concebir la práctica como una cuestión de justicia social, hasta ver en ella una instancia clara de moral interpersonal. El título de esta obra, Derecho de daños, principios morales y justicia social, pretende reflejar precisamente esta pluralidad.
Download or read book Undeniable Atrocities written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since the Mexican government escalated its war on organized crime at the end of 2006, over 150,000 Mexicans have been intentionally murdered. Countless thousands of others have been tortured; no one knows how many have disappeared. Caught between government forces and organized crime cartels, the Mexican people have suffered as atrocities and impunity reign. Based on three years of research, over 100 interviews, and previously unreleased government documents, this report finds a reasonable basis to believe that government forces and members of criminal cartels have perpetrated crimes against humanity in Mexico. The report comprehensively examines why there has been so little justice for atrocity crimes, and finds the main answers in political obstruction. Given the lack of political will to end impunity, new approaches must be taken. The report argues for a series of institutional changes, most importantly the creation of an internationalized investigative body, based inside Mexico, with powers to independently investigate and prosecute atrocity crimes."--Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book Testosterone written by Rebecca M. Jordan-Young and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medal Winner A Progressive Book of the Year A TechCrunch Favorite Read of the Year “Deeply researched and thoughtful.” —Nature “An extended exercise in myth busting.” —Outside “A critique of both popular and scientific understandings of the hormone, and how they have been used to explain, or even defend, inequalities of power.” —The Observer Testosterone is a familiar villain, a ready culprit for everything from stock market crashes to the overrepresentation of men in prisons. But your testosterone level doesn’t actually predict your appetite for risk, sex drive, or athletic prowess. It isn’t the biological essence of manliness—in fact, it isn’t even a male sex hormone. So what is it, and how did we come to endow it with such superhuman powers? T’s story begins when scientists first went looking for the chemical essence of masculinity. Over time, it provided a handy rationale for countless behaviors—from the boorish to the enviable. Testosterone focuses on what T does in six domains: reproduction, aggression, risk-taking, power, sports, and parenting, addressing heated debates like whether high-testosterone athletes have a natural advantage as well as disagreements over what it means to be a man or woman. “This subtle, important book forces rethinking not just about one particular hormone but about the way the scientific process is embedded in social context.” —Robert M. Sapolsky, author of Behave “A beautifully written and important book. The authors present strong and persuasive arguments that demythologize and defetishize T as a molecule containing quasi-magical properties, or as exclusively related to masculinity and males.” —Los Angeles Review of Books “Provides fruitful ground for understanding what it means to be human, not as isolated physical bodies but as dynamic social beings.” —Science

Download or read book Directors Officers D O Liability written by Simon Deakin and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 1020 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years several cases concerning the liability of directors and officers have courted controversy. Arguments raised in such discussions oscillate between two extremes: on the one hand, the need for governing bodies to give a space to entrepreneurial discretion and on the other hand to ensure the protection of investors in and creditors of a company from the consequences of disadvantageous decisions by those bodies. In light of the geographical dispersal of the above stakeholders, the study offers a comparative insight into the liability of directors and officers in 10 key European jurisdictions (in particular, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and Switzerland) and 4 non-European jurisdictions (namely Brazil, Israel, Turkey and the United States). Amongst other things it investigates existing company law principles on the topic and examines their interaction with tort law and other fields with a view to suggesting principles for better stakeholder protection. National reports are complemented by an economic analysis and insurance, conflict of laws and comparative reports. The study also benefits from case study analyses.

Download or read book Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions written by Julian P. T. Higgins and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2008-11-24 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare providers, consumers, researchers and policy makers are inundated with unmanageable amounts of information, including evidence from healthcare research. It has become impossible for all to have the time and resources to find, appraise and interpret this evidence and incorporate it into healthcare decisions. Cochrane Reviews respond to this challenge by identifying, appraising and synthesizing research-based evidence and presenting it in a standardized format, published in The Cochrane Library (www.thecochranelibrary.com). The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions contains methodological guidance for the preparation and maintenance of Cochrane intervention reviews. Written in a clear and accessible format, it is the essential manual for all those preparing, maintaining and reading Cochrane reviews. Many of the principles and methods described here are appropriate for systematic reviews applied to other types of research and to systematic reviews of interventions undertaken by others. It is hoped therefore that this book will be invaluable to all those who want to understand the role of systematic reviews, critically appraise published reviews or perform reviews themselves.
