This thought-provoking book explores the multifaceted phenomenon of
objectivity and its relations to various aspects of the law and
practical reasoning. Featuring contributions from an international
group of researchers from differing legal contexts, it addresses
topics relevant not only from a theoretical point of view but also
themes directly connected with legal and judicial practice.
Beginning with an introduction from the editors proposing a new
account of the meaning of objectivity, the book is then divided
into three broad themes illuminated by this account. Chapters first
address a range of problems linked to the relationship between
objectivity and jurisprudence, before turning in the second part to
an analysis of the functions of objectivity in legal
interpretation. The final part then deals with the function of
objectivity in practical reasoning. Offering a spectrum of
scholarly insights within a coherent intellectual framework, this
book will be a crucial read for scholars and graduate students of
legal philosophy and legal theory. Its discussion of objectivity as
it relates to legal practice and practical reasoning will also be
of interest to practitioners such as judges, arbitrators and
lawyers.

PARP! What’s that smell? In this interactive board book, a group
of animals enters a rocket to the moon – but it smells like
someone keeps breaking wind! Was it one of them? Or was it egg
sandwiches, false teeth or stinky socks? As the animals throw
smelly items out through the rubbish chute it slowly becomes
clearer who the ‘parper’ is… and it’s not who you expect!
This sturdy board book includes pull-out sliders, which reveal
extra story details – whether it’s the rocket launching or the
mystery stinky culprit! Bright, playful illustrations, and lovable
animal characters will make Parp! In Space a firm family favourite.
This robust board book and its fun sliders will withstand hours of
hilarious fun.
This book covers a broad range of legal topics relating to the
fields of bioinformatics and medical informatics, which relate to
the intersection of biomedical information and computer programming
within the contexts of scientific research, product development and
healthcare delivery. A number of usually distinct bodies of legal
doctrine come together in this area, sometimes overlapping,
sometimes colliding in unexpected ways. Key issues discussed in the
book include: An overview of the current landscape of
bioinformatics and medical informatics A focus on the legal issues
arising from the development and acquisition of informatics tools
for use in a laboratory or healthcare setting Developments in
patent and innovation law that are important for informatics
applications A discussion of institutions and collaborative
arrangements in which informatics applications are developed and
used today Data protection and privacy issues applicable to
informatics applications in the U.S. and Europe. While no single
work can cover the entire set of legal issues arising from large,
dynamic and complex fields such as bioinformatics and medical
informatics, this book strives to offer the reader insight into
some of the major legal trends and considerations applicable to
these fields today.

Governments have always endured economic woes, but the increasing
severity of such challenges, from the Great Recession starting in
2008 to the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,
highlights the need for better-developed fiscal analysis capacity
in governments of all sizes using the most practical-yet
robust-techniques available. This volume presents an array of
real-world analytical approaches in a variety of service areas at
the core of state and local government. The concrete insights
provided by this book serve as important tools for policy analysts,
government officials charged with policy implementation, and public
finance scholars across developing and developed countries looking
for the essential, high-level analytical skills needed to expand
internal capacity to weather uncertain economic environments. The
book bridges the research-practice gap and provides practical tools
for state and local fiscal analysis, including a detailed how-to
guide for producing local tax expenditure reports, an age-based
homestead exemption estimate calculator with guide, and simple
methods for fuzzy matching administrative data. It is backed up
with a depth and breadth of case studies on governments of a
variety of sizes. Public officials and analysts in local
state/regional institutions and international institutions with a
public policy focus as well as public finance scholars across
developing and developed countries will find invaluable the
analyses and tools provided by this book. It also serves as a key
resource for students, researchers, and instructors across public
policy.
A level of decision making is concerned with deciding the
organization's objectives, resources, and policies. A significant
problem at this decision-making level is predicting the
organization's future and its environment as well as matching the
organization's characteristics to that environment. This process
generally involves technology and knowledge from the market and
clients. In the current era, the implementation of marketing
information systems supported with AI techniques is crucial to
being a unique opportunity to leverage marketing strategies with
cutting-edge technologies. Global Perspectives on the Strategic
Role of Marketing Information Systems communicates the recent
advances in marketing information systems. Covering topics such as
digital entrepreneurship, international business, and micro and
small enterprises, this premier reference source is a cutting-edge
resource for marketers, entrepreneurs, business leaders and
managers, IT managers, students and educators of higher education,
librarians, researchers, and academicians.
This book addresses the problems of Latin America, through two of
the most important features of the post-Bretton Woods economic
order, large corporations and weak financial markets. In turn, it
shows that their impact on economic growth and development is
feeble and short-lived. This resulted in income concentration and
an extremely unequal distribution of wealth in the region. As a
result, large corporations and financial markets became central
institutions in developing economies. In this context, Latin
American countries globalized their economies, modifying their
productive and financial structures and strengthening large
corporation and non- financial structures. This economic order was
a failure, as it was unable to achieve development in Latin
America; large capital corporations either re-primarized their
productive activity or developed an organization based on assembly
manufacture, and, as such, financial markets remained
underdeveloped because large corporations did not operate through
domestic financial markets. In this book, the effects of these
trends are analyzed in regional and country studies, while the
impact of the 2008 Great Financial Crisis on Latin American
economies are also considered. Researchers and students, especially
those interested in a Post-Keynesian or heterodox view of the
region, will find these studies illuminating.
The solar photovoltaic sector is moving forward very fast, both in
terms of its own technological advancement and its standing among
global renewable energy technologies. Rapid increases in solar cell
efficiencies, fast technical change in solar batteries and solar
glass, and economies of scale in production fuel its rapid adoption
and it is becoming clear that existing forecasts about its adoption
need to be updated extensively. This timely and distinctive
examination of the economic side of the field takes into account
solar PV's recent and growing lead among renewable energies
competing to replace fossil fuels. The Revolution in Energy
Technology examines the birth of this technology in the United
States, where the main innovators are still located, the emergence
of China as a main production hub, and new and growing
contributions to the innovation cascades from other countries
including Germany, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The participation
of universities as investors and the role of venture capital are
discussed, and particular emphasis is given to the domination of
the sector by large firms. The book is interesting for both
academics and graduate students as well as policy makers,
technicians, engineers and companies involved in the field.
This book explores how three Anglo-Irish writers, J.C. Mangan, J.S.
Le Fanu and Bram Stoker, use settings in their short fictions to
recreate, depict and confront Ireland’s colonial situation in the
nineteenth century. This study provides an innovative approach by
targeting a genre (the short story) which has not been explored in
its entirety— certainly not within nineteenth century Ireland
-Â much less using a postcolonial approach to the short
story. Added to this is the fact that it analyses how these writers
used settings as an anticolonial tool. To do so, the book is
divided into two major sections, an analysis of Irish settings and
non-Irish ones. It works on the premise that all three writers used
the idea of displacement to target colonialism and its effects on
Irish society. In short, this book addresses a gap in scholarship,
as the Irish Gothic short story as a decolonizing tool has not been
sufficiently and globally studied.
