Описание: This book provides an empirically grounded, in-depth investigation of the ethical dimensions to in-house practice and how legal risk is defined and managed by in-house lawyers and others. The growing significance and status of the role of General Counsel has been accompanied by growth in legal risk as a phenomenon of importance. In-house lawyers are regularly exhorted to be more commercial, proactive and strategic, to be business leaders and not (mere) lawyers, but they are increasingly exposed for their roles in organisational scandals. This book poses the question: how far does going beyond being a lawyer conflict with or entail being more ethical? It explores the role of in-housers by calling on three key pieces of empirical research: two tranches of interviews with senior in-house lawyers and senior compliance staff; and an unparalleled large survey of in-house lawyers. On the basis of this evidence, the authors explore how ideas about in-house roles shape professional logics; how far professional notions such as independence play a role in those logics; and the ways in which ethical infrastructure are managed or are absent from in-house practice. It concludes with a discussion of whether and how in-house lawyers and their regulators need to take professionalism and professional ethicality more seriously.

Описание: These proceedings showcase the best papers selected from more than 500 submissions, and introduce readers to the hottest research topics and the latest developmental trends in the theory and application of MMESE. The integrated and advanced science research topic Man-Machine-Environment System Engineering (MMESE) was first established in China by Professor Shengzhao Long in 1981, with direct support from one of the greatest modern Chinese scientists, Xuesen Qian. In a letter to Long from October 22nd, 1993, Qian wrote: “You have created a very important modern science and technology in China!”
MMESE primarily focuses on the relationship between Man, Machine and Environment, studying the optimum combination of man-machine-environment systems. In this system, “Man” refers to working people as the subject in the workplace (e.g. operators, decision-makers); “Machine” is the general name for any object controlled by Man (including tools, machinery, computers, systems and technologies), and “Environment” describes the specific working conditions under which Man and Machine interact (e.g. temperature, noise, vibration, hazardous gases etc.). The three main goals of optimizing man-machine-environment systems are to ensure safety, efficiency and economy.
These proceedings present interdisciplinary studies on essential concepts and methods from physiology, psychology, system engineering, computer science, environmental science, management, education, and other related disciplines. As such, they offer a valuable resource for all researchers and professionals whose work involves interdisciplinary areas touching on MMESE subjects.

Описание: Alexander Hamilton is commonly seen as the standard-bearer of an ideology-turned-political party, the Federalists, engaged in a struggle for the soul of the young United States against the Anti-Federalists, and later, the Jeffersonian Republicans. This volume counters such conventional wisdom with a new, more nuanced view of Hamilton as a true federalist, rather than a one-dimensional nationalist.
Описание: This edited collection brings together research from a range of substantive areas of law that share a common interest in understanding the multi-layered challenges of defining legal certainty in the context of legal and political modernity. The principle of legal certainty-the view that the law must be sufficiently certain to provide those subject to legal norms with the resources to regulate their own conduct and to provide a layer of protection against the arbitrary use of public power-has functioned as a fundamental rule of law value and as a normative ideal that has structured legal debates, both at the national and international level. In recent years, however, legal certainty has come under renewed pressure from a number of historically new and competing demands that are made of law: for example, the expectation that the law be more responsive to a social environment characterized by rapid economic and technological change; or the marked trend, across most major jurisdictions, towards increasing the degree and scope of discretion afforded to regulators in the fields of business and market regulation-the so-called 'responsive regulation'; or the challenges posed by indices, such as the World Bank's Doing Business Report and the Index of Legal Certainty, which apply metric tools to rank a country's performance with the ultimate aim to reduce the 'regulatory burden' of doing business, and to prove the virtues of their respective models. These, and other, developments raise difficult, but interesting, questions regarding the meaning, possibility and desirability of legal certainty in the context of a rapidly changing global society. This book aims to address these issues by bringing together scholars from various jurisdictions to examine changes in the shifting meaning of legal certainty.The book will be of interest both to lawyers and academics interested in understanding the transformation of core rule of law values in the context of contemporary social change, as well as political scientists and social theorists.

Описание: Doreen Carwithen and her husband William Alwyn were two of the most versatile composers working in Britain in the mid- to late-20th century. Between them they scored more than 100 films, as well as music for the concert hall, including the scores for Odd Man Out Alwyn and Boys in Brown Carwithen. Daniel Grimwoods recording is a wonderful introduction to the couples extensive catalogues of piano music, containing Carwithens taut, neoclassical Sonatina and Alwyns 12 Preludes and Grieg-inspired Fantasy Waltzes. This is warm, lyrical music which quietly pushes boundaries while always attractive and well-written for the
