Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Emotion and Devotion written by Miri Rubin and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Emotion and Devotion Miri Rubin explores the craft of the historian through a series of studies of medieval religious cultures. In three original chapters she approaches the medieval figure of the Virgin Mary with the aim of unravelling meaning and experience. Hymns and miracle tales, altarpieces and sermons – a wide range of sources from many European regions – are made to reveal the creativity and richness which they elicited in medieval people, women and men, clergy and laity, people of status and riches as well as those of modest means. The first chapter, "The Global 'Middle Ages'," considers the current historiographical frame for the study of religious cultures and suggests ways in which the Middle Ages can be made more global. Next, "Mary, and Others" examines the polemical situations around Mary, and the location of Muslims and Jews within them. The third chapter, "Emotions and Selves," tracks the sentimental education experienced by Europeans in the late Middle Ages through devotional encounters with the figure of the Virgin Mary in word, image and sound. Each year one scholar of world fame is invited to present lectures in the framework of the Natalie Zemon Davis Annual Lecture Series at the Central European University, Budapest. This is the second volume in the series of published lectures.
Download or read book El control de la acusaci n Una reflexi n sobre los l mites del poder de acusar en el Estado constitucional de derecho written by José Joaquín Urbano Martínez and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De los instrumentos de derecho internacional de derechos humanos y de derecho penal internacional, de las constituciones políticas y de sus interpretaciones autorizadas, se infiere un conjunto de principios normativos del proceso penal que determinan una estructura básica y que sientan las bases para la elaboración de un modelo dogmático, Uno de los elementos para tener en cuenta en esta tarea es el atinente a los límites del poder de acusar y a la instancia concebida para la verificación del respeto de esos límites.Con todo, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en la mayoría de regímenes del derecho comparado, de la estructura del proceso penal colombiano no hace parte una fase intermedia ante el juez de las audiencias preliminares que comprenda el control material de la acusación, Además, la interpretación jurisprudencial plantea que solo hay lugar a un control ante el juez de conocimiento que, para no afectar su imparcialidad, se limita a la verificación de los presupuestos formales del escrito de acusación.Sin embargo, la práctica judicial evidencia situaciones en las que ese escrito presenta manifiestas irregularidades que no son susceptibles de ser superadas por vía de un control formal. En estos casos es posible un control excepcional de la acusación que, sin recaer sobre su fundamento sustancial, impida, en situaciones extremas, el abuso del poder de acusar, y como el control formal y el control excepcional de extremos sobre la acusación no solucionan el problema central planteado por la inexistencia de un control material, el camino más expedito para hacerlo es una reforma al Código de Procedimiento Penal. Hasta tanto, los instrumentos a los que se podría acudir con ese propósito son el autocontrol de la Fiscalía y la acción de tutela.

Download or read book The Trial written by Sadakat Kadri and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as accuser and accused have faced each other in public, criminal trials have been establishing far more than who did what to whom–and in this fascinating book, Sadakat Kadri surveys four thousand years of courtroom drama. A brilliantly engaging writer, Kadri journeys from the silence of ancient Egypt’s Hall of the Dead to the clamor of twenty-first-century Hollywood to show how emotion and fear have inspired Western notions of justice–and the extent to which they still riddle its trials today. He explains, for example, how the jury emerged in medieval England from trials by fire and water, in which validations of vengeance were presumed to be divinely supervised, and how delusions identical to those that once sent witches to the stake were revived as accusations of Satanic child abuse during the 1980s. Lifting the lid on a particularly bizarre niche of legal history, Kadri tells how European lawyers once prosecuted animals, objects, and corpses–and argues that the same instinctive urge to punish is still apparent when a child or mentally ill defendant is accused of sufficiently heinous crimes. But Kadri’s history is about aspiration as well as ignorance. He shows how principles such as the right to silence and the right to confront witnesses, hallmarks of due process guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, were derived from the Bible by twelfth-century monks. He tells of show trials from Tudor England to Stalin’s Soviet Union, but contends that “no-trials,” in Guantánamo Bay and elsewhere, are just as repugnant to Western traditions of justice and fairness. With governments everywhere eroding legal protections in the name of an indefinite war on terror, Kadri’s analysis could hardly be timelier. At once encyclopedic and entertaining, comprehensive and colorful, The Trial rewards curiosity and an appreciation of the absurd but tackles as well questions that are profound. Who has the right to judge, and why? What did past civilizations hope to achieve through scapegoats and sacrifices–and to what extent are defendants still made to bear the sins of society at large? Kadri addresses such themes through scores of meticulously researched stories, all told with the verve and wit that won him one of Britain’s most prestigious travel-writing awards–and in doing so, he has created a masterpiece of popular history.
