Marian Andrzej Wesoły, Magdalena Jaworska-Wołoszyn

Peitho. Examina Antiqua > 2014 > 5 > 1 > 301-320

While this paper offers the first Polish translation of this amazing work, the purpose of present article is to familiarize...

Democratic institutions in Brazilian tourism policy: An analysis of council laws

Carolina P. Bassani, Bruno M. A. Gomes, Margarete A. Teles, Izac de O. B. Bonfim

Latin American Policy > 13 > 1 > 63 - 81

Inclusiveness, popular control, considered judgment, and transparency are the consensual “goods” democratic innovations should aim to produce, according to an analytical framework designed to study democratic institutions like policy councils. Tourism councils, although not often studied, represent a public policy with potential for local development and have as a peculiarity the predominance of entrepreneurs...

In this edited version of an interview run at 3:16 am earlier this year to mark the publication of his new book How To Talk To A Science Denier, Lee McIntyre discusses: science denial, its dangers, what to do about it, why it should not be tolerated; the demarcation question; whether social sciences are really sciences; why we should focus on the failures of science; post‐truth; why philosophy of...

Space law in Vietnam: outer space policy, legal development and its future pathway

Le Thi Khanh Linh, Hoang Thao Anh, Tran Thi Dieu Ha, Nguyen Luu Lan Phuong, more

Ad Astra. Program nad astropolityką i prawem kosmicznym > 2022 > 5 > 4-13

Although Vietnam has participated in numerous outer space operations with many nations worldwide, its legal system in this sector is still in its infancy and consequently has several restrictions. More specifically, this article investigates the establishment and evolution of policies, laws, and international cooperation regarding the utilization of outer space in Vietnam from 1979 to the present,...

Vandalisme révolutionnaire et patrimoine

Jean-François Thomas

Studia Gilsoniana > 2022 > 11 > 4 > 567-593

Prepared by other iconoclasms, French revolutionary vandalism spared nothing and inspired the destruction of successive revolutions throughout the world. The contradiction lies in the fact that, at the same time, the actors of this drama were developing the idea of heritage that is still prevalent in our country today. There was no shortage of decrees and laws, most of which had no effect. Two prominent...

Absent laws and missing women: Can domestic violence legislation reduce female mortality?

Mohammad Amin, Asif M. Islam, Augusto Lopez‐Claros

Review of Development Economics > 25 > 4 > 2113 - 2132

This study explores the relationship between the presence of domestic violence legislation and the adult mortality of women relative to men. Using a panel of 159 economies between 1990 and 2014, domestic violence legislation is found to be associated with a lower women‐to‐men adult mortality ratio. The most conservative estimate suggests a 2.3% decline relative to the mean sample value. These findings...

Towards a pragmatic view of theories in ecology

Bruno Travassos‐Britto, Renata Pardini, Charbel N. El‐Hani, Paulo I. Prado

Oikos > 130 > 6 > 821 - 830

Ecology has received many criticisms concerning its theoretical maturity, often on the grounds that it lacks laws and, therefore, a clear and unified theoretical background. We argue that the search for laws to understand ecological theory was prompted by the (perhaps inadvertent) adoption of an axiomatic perspective that traces back to syntactic and some semantic views of theory. We present examples...

Plethon wobec tradycji teologicznej Greków

Anna Kujawa

Symbolae Philologorum Posnaniensium Graecae et Latinae > 2021 > 31 > 1 > 107-127

Byzantine philosopher Georgios Gemistos Pletho (1355–1452) is regarded as the first Philhellene who rejected Christianity and attempted to restore the pogan religion of Hellenic gods. In his last work Books of Laws (Νόμων συγγραφή) he presents his own system of theology based on ancient philosophy and Greek mythology. The aim of the paper is to outline some main features of Plethon’s theology and...

The right to participate in reform: parents and RE

Pauline Dimech

Journal of Religious Education > 2019 > 67 > 3 > 169-184

The author identifies different parties who express interest in Religious Education, and who make demands on the nature and content of religious education as it is provided in schools, but focuses only on one of these parties, namely the parents. The author explores the reasons why parents seek to be involved in—or even are legally bound to be responsible for—certain decisions pertaining to Religious...

Looking back on development and disaster‐related displacement and resettlement, anticipating climate‐related displacement in the Asia Pacific region

Susanna Price

Asia Pacific Viewpoint > 60 > 2 > 191 - 204

The realisation that climate change might necessitate resettlement of people displaced initially raised interest in the experience of development‐forced displacement and resettlement (DFDR). Looking back, in 1980 the first international policy on involuntary resettlement was approved to address perceived weaknesses in state property and expropriation law to safeguard people in the way of development...

Action at a temporal distance in the best systems account

Phil Dowe

European Journal for Philosophy of Science > 2019 > 9 > 3 > 1-11

Drawing on Earman’s (1986) definition of determinism and Lewis’ (Australasian Journal of Philosophy, 61, 343–377, 1983) best systems account of laws, in What Makes Time Special? (2017) Craig Callender develops an account of time as ‘the strongest thing’. The characterisation of this account apparently assumes no action at a temporal distance, an assumption that also underlies Earman’s account of determinism...

An Empiricist View on Laws, Quantities and Physical Necessity

Lars‐Göran Johansson

Theoria > 85 > 2 > 69 - 101

In this article I argue for an empiricist view on laws. Some laws are fundamental in the sense that they are the result of inductive generalisations of observed regularities and at the same time in their formulation contain a new theoretical predicate. The inductive generalisations simultaneously function as implicit definitions of these new predicates. Other laws are either explicit definitions or...

Government stewardship and primary health care in Guatemala since 1996

Harry E. Cross, Marisela De La Cruz, Juan Dent

Public Administration and Development > 39 > 1 > 11 - 22

This article analyzes the role of government stewardship in the expansion of primary health care in post‐conflict Guatemala. By the time the Peace Accords were signed in 1996, the country's primary health care system was scarcely functioning with virtually no services available in rural indigenous areas. To address this gaping void/deficiency, the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance (MSPAS)...

Thermodynamics today

Adrian Bejan

Energy > 2018 > 160 > C > 1208-1219

In this paper I use the example set by Prof. Jan Szargut as point of reference for a brief look at the current state of thermodynamics—the doctrine, its reach and importance. I start with my first encounter with Prof. Jan Szargut in 1979, and I show how his work influenced mine. Next, I review the structure that underpins thermodynamics as a discipline: the laws and the self-standing phenomena that...

Recent advances of medical foods in China: The opportunities and challenges under standardization

Xusheng Li, Xinwei Jiang, Jianxia Sun, Cuijuan Zhu, more

Food and Chemical Toxicology > 2018 > 119 > C > 342-354

Malnutrition with high incidence in hospitalized patients in China has brought a significant burden of disease. Although many clinical studies have demonstrated the importance of nutritional for patients with malnutrition, the application of medical foods in China is still restricted. For the classification, limits, production and registration of medical foods, the Chinese government newly enacted...

Polskie doświadczenia ilustracją teologii narodu

Paweł Warchoł

Warszawskie Studia Teologiczne > 2018 > 31 > 2 > 92-113

The theology of the nation is a section of theology, that describes its histo-ry in the light of Christian faith. Its essence consists in appealing both to God and to the activity of the nation in the world as Christian witness. Theology of a na-tion grows out of the event of baptism, which influences the morality of society, politics, social issues, culture and economy. Baptism is the foundation...

Przekształcenia mienia Skarbu Państwa w kontekście prawodawstwa Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej po 1990 roku

H. Bryś, A. Przewięźlikowska

Przegląd Geodezyjny > 2018 > R. 90, nr 5 > 2--5

W bieżącym roku minie 28 rocznica zapoczątkowania procesu transformacji mienia Skarbu Państwa w niepodległej, demokratycznej Polsce – państwie prawa. Ten bezprecedensowy proces prawno-organizacyjny dotyczył nabycia, transformacji oraz przekazywania praw majątkowych nieruchomości innym podmiotom. Istota przemian, dokonywanych sukcesywnie do dnia dzisiejszego, sprowadzała się do realizacji fundamentalnych...
