South Africa's property law teachers have been convening annually since 1985 to exchange ideas, subject their work to peer scrutiny and build a collegial network. Over time, the agendas of the annual meetings became snapshots of the development of a discipline. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of this meeting, the property law teachers' colloquium was expanded into an International property law conference, giving South African property law teachers an opportunity to exchange their ideas on a much broader platform, with some of the world's best property law scholars and teachers. Property law under scrutiny brings together pieces that give an overview of property law twenty-five years after the establishment of the South African property law teachers' colloquium. A recurrent theme in all the contributions at the conference, and the ones included in this publication, is the tension between well-established principles of property law and the policies that drive legal development in the field. The topics addressed are organised into four themes, as follows: The first cluster relates to an age-old issue in conventional property law: The accession of movables to immovables; The second cluster concerns the centrality of the real agreement in transfers and in the real security context; A third cluster deals with questions about the public law aspects of property; The fourth cluster captures some of the dilemmas and challenges concerning the abandonment and neglect of property. It ties together the underlying concerns aired in debates about the conventional property rules and issues surfacing in the crossover between private and public law, and the role of property law principles. In capturing the interaction between South African and international scholarship, Property law under scrutiny serves to introduce a new era in this developing discipline. Teachers and practitioners of property law, locally and internationally, will find this to be an invaluable resource.

This textbook provides comprehensive coverage of international finance, considering the subject from legal, regulatory, policy, and transactional perspectives. The introductory chapter begins with core legal and economic concepts, followed by an overview of major financial market and policy institutions, and the problem of systemic risk, which has increasingly animated financial regulation. Chapter 2 anchors the remainder of the book in the analysis of two financial and economic crises: the 2007-2009 global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020. Many of the regulatory policies and market adaptation episodes discussed in the book responded to the financial crisis, or, more recently, to the post-crisis reforms. The material on the economic and financial fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and the policy response, updated through early 2022, begins with the U.S. experience, and includes substantial additional coverage of Europe and Asia. Discussion of the pandemic's impact and response highlights major changes in the role of government in the economy and the role of central banks as lenders of last resort. After the first two chapters, the book is organized in five parts. Part One deals with the international aspects of banking and securities markets in major financial centers. It covers sweeping reforms in response to the global financial crisis of 2007-2009 and the Eurozone crisis that followed, the push for regulatory relief in the United States and elsewhere in 2017-2020, and market developments against the background of the pandemic and tightening regulation in 2021-2022. Chapters 5 and 6 analyze the latest developments in the European Union's ambitious institutional redesign program, including the European Banking Union, as well as the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union, and its implications for the United Kingdom, Europe, and the rest of the world. An overview of the Japanese financial system, updated to reflect post-crisis reforms, concludes Part One. Part Two considers the infrastructure of global financial markets, including payment, clearing and settlement systems, foreign exchange regimes, and international coordination of capital and liquidity requirements. Capital and liquidity standards, coordinated under the auspices of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, are key to government efforts to control systemic risk. Chapter 8 includes in-depth coverage of tightening capital and liquidity regulations after the 2007-2009 crisis, and their gradual relaxation since 2017-a trend that has continued in response to COVID-19. Chapter 10 on payment systems briefly notes the developments in financial sanctions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine; however, most of the new material on sanctions is in Part Five. In this edition, the discussion of digital payments and crypto currencies is consolidated in a new chapter on financial technology, also in Part Five. Part Three surveys major market instruments, including securitization and derivatives contracts, and the latest developments in the asset management industry and its regulation. Chapter 16 highlights the differences in U.S. and European approaches to derivatives regulation. The asset management material in Chapter 17 builds on our discussion of securities markets in Part One. Among other topics, this edition examines the market and governance implications of the rise of index funds, and money market fund performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Part Four focuses on the emerging markets, and covers project finance, debt crises, and international financial institutions charged with crisis response and development finance. This edition covers a wide range of recent developments, including debt distress in the wake of the COVID-19 shock, the rise of new creditors from Russia and China, new efforts at multilateral coordination of sovereign debt restructuring, crises and defaults in Venezuela and Ukraine, as well as key lessons from Argentina's past and recent default episodes. Chapter 20 on China includes an updated overview of that country's financial system, as well as recent changes in the U.S.-China relationship, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and an important trade agreement negotiated on the eve of the pandemic, including financial sector liberalization and safeguards against exchange rate manipulation. Part Five in this edition deals with a broader range of new challenges to the international financial system. Chapter 21 continues to focus on the financing of terrorism, money laundering, and other illicit financial activities, and includes new material on financial sanctions against Russia and their implications for financial markets and payment systems. A new Chapter 22 is dedicated to financial technology. It surveys the design and operation of cryptocurrencies, crypto as an asset class, stablecoins, and potential approaches to regulation. It also analyzes central bank digital currencies (CBDC), and the design and oversight of decentralized lending activities using digital technology.

Between 1492 and 1820, about two-thirds of the people who crossed the Atlantic to the Americas were Africans. With the exception of the Spanish, all the European empires settled more Africans in the New World than they did Europeans. The vast majority of these enslaved men and women worked on plantations, and their labor was the foundation for the expansion of the Atlantic economy during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Until relatively recently, comparatively little attention was paid to the perspectives, daily experiences, hopes, and especially the political ideas of the enslaved who played such a central role in the making of the Atlantic world. Over the past decades, however, huge strides have been made in the study of the history of slavery and emancipation in the Atlantic world. This collection brings together some of the key contributions to this growing body of scholarship, showing a range of methodological approaches, that can be used to understand and reconstruct the lives of these enslaved people.

What should we do with teenagers who commit crimes? Are they children whose offenses are the result of immaturity and circumstances, or are they in fact criminals? "Adult time for adult crime" has been the justice system's mantra for the last twenty years. But locking up so many young people puts a strain on state budgets-and ironically, the evidence suggests it ultimately increases crime. In this bold book, two leading scholars in law and adolescent development offer a comprehensive and pragmatic way forward. They argue that juvenile justice should be grounded in the best available psychological science, which shows that adolescence is a distinctive state of cognitive and emotional development. Although adolescents are not children, they are also not fully responsible adults. Elizabeth Scott and Laurence Steinberg outline a new developmental model of juvenile justice that recognizes adolescents' immaturity but also holds them accountable. Developmentally based laws and policies would make it possible for young people who have committed crimes to grow into responsible adults, rather than career criminals, and would lighten the present burden on the legal and prison systems. In the end, this model would better serve the interests of justice, and it would also be less wasteful of money and lives than the harsh and ineffective policies of the last generation.

The Common Wind is a gripping and colorful account of the intercontinental networks that tied together the free and enslaved masses of the New World. Having delved deep into the gray obscurity of official eighteenth-century records in Spanish, English, and French, Julius S. Scott has written a powerful "history from below." Scott follows the spread of "rumors of emancipation" and the people behind them, bringing to life the protagonists in the slave revolution. By tracking the colliding worlds of buccaneers, military deserters, and maroon communards from Venezuela to Virginia, Scott records the transmission of contagious mutinies and insurrections in unparalleled detail, providing readers with an intellectual history of the enslaved. Though The Common Wind is credited with having "opened up the Black Atlantic with a rigor and a commitment to the power of written words," the manuscript remained unpublished for thirty-two years. Now, after receiving wide acclaim from leading historians of slavery and the New World, it has been published by Verso for the first time, with a foreword by the academic and author Marcus Rediker.

Total institutions are places to which people are confined around the clock, in isolation from all other influences and social relationships. Hospitals, prisons and boarding schools create unique social worlds of rituals, routines and sanctions, which pervade every aspect of daily life and have a lasting effect upon their residents. This book revisits and updates Erving Goffman's pessimistic critique of the total institution, which had focused on the 'mortifying' effects of enforced identity erasure in austere and controlling environments. Susie Scott argues that a new organizational form has emerged in the culture of late modernity, which involves subtler mechanisms of social control and whose members cite more positive meanings and motivations.

Cal Elgot was a very serious and thoughtful researcher, who with great determi nation attempted to find basic explanations for certain mathematical phenomena as the selection of papers in this volume well illustrate. His approach was, for the most part, rather finitist and constructivist, and he was inevitably drawn to studies of the process of computation. It seems to me that his early work on decision problems relating automata and logic, starting with his thesis under Roger Lyndon and continuing with joint work with Biichi, Wright, Copi, Rutledge, Mezei, and then later with Rabin, set the stage for his attack on the theory of computation through the abstract treatment of the notion of a machine. This is also apparent in his joint work with A. Robinson reproduced here and in his joint papers with John Shepherdson. Of course in the light of subsequent work on decision problems by Biichi, Rabin, Shelah, and many, many others, the subject has been placed on a completely different plane from what it was when Elgot left the area. But I feel that his papers, results-and style-were very definitely influential at the time and may well have altered the course of the investigation of these problems. As Sammy Eilenberg explains, the next big influence on Elgot's thinking was category theory, which gave him a way of expressing his ideas in a sharply algebraic manner. The joint book with Eilenberg is one illustration of this influence."

Why do people enter total institutions - places that confine and control them around the clock - and how does the experience change them? This book updates Goffman's classic model by introducing the Re-inventive Institution, where members voluntarily commit themselves to pursue regimes of self-improvement.

Sonography of baby hips for the diagnosis of DDH and dysplasia has grown steadily in importance in recent years. A strict standardized technique for investigation of the baby and interpretation of the sonograms has made hip ultrasound reproducible, reliable and independent of examiner skill and experience.

Graf s technique is now used worldwide, and selective or even general screening programmes for all babies are established in many European countries today.

The first part of this book includes the fundamentals of hip sonography, static as well as dynamic techniques, anatomical identification of the echograms, typing, a measurement technique and usability check.

The second part is an atlas including a summary of the essential data and demonstrating correct and incorrect sonograms in different variations. The book is indispensable for everyone dealing with DDH problems in diagnosis and therapy.

This Edition has been thoroughly updated with the latest cases, statutory references, and scholarly commentary. Moreover, it includes comprehensive references to provisions of the American Law Institute's Restatement of Children and the Law. This Restatement is so new that some of it is still a work in progress, but Tentative Drafts were approved in 2018 and 2019 and many of these provisions are included in this Edition. The new Edition also includes coverage of recent Supreme Court decisions such as: Montgomery v. Louisiana (2016), in which the Court held that its earlier decision in Miller v. Alabama, which prohibited a mandatory sentence of life without parole for one who, as a juvenile, was convicted of murder, established a new substantive constitutional rule and thus should be applied retroactively. Ohio v. Clark (2015), which addressed the question of whether statements made to a preschool teacher by a 3-year-old victim of child abuse could constitutionally be admitted in the trial of the child's alleged abuser. This case further interprets the Court's Confrontation Clause jurisprudence following its 2004 decision in Crawford v. Washington. Virginia v. LeBlanc (2017), in which the Court, in what may be a limited decision, held that a sentence of life without parole imposed on one who was 16 years old at the time did not violate the Eighth Amendment where state law provided for "geriatric release," which meant that the petitioner would be eligible for parole at age 60. The 6th edition retains the basic overall organizational structure of the previous edition, with two major exceptions. The field of Children in the Legal System has continued to expand. In response to legal developments within the core subject areas, we eliminated two chapters from prior editions-Chapter 4 (Custody) and Chapter 8 (Adoption of Minors)-which address subject matter typically covered in a Family Law course. This modification in the book's structure allowed us to focus, to an even greater extent, on the subject areas central to courses on Children and the Legal System and to accommodate the expanding depth and breadth of developments in those subject areas. With the elimination of the chapters on custody and adoption, the remaining chapters in the 6th edition have been renumbered accordingly. One of the distinguishing characteristics of this book, which the authors have retained in this edition, is its breadth of coverage and degree of flexibility in teaching. It deals with every aspect of how the law relates to minors, from free expression in school and other school-related issues, to private law (e.g.. torts and contracts), to the juvenile justice system (i.e., delinquency and the operation of criminal justice principles to juvenile justice), to abuse and neglect (including medical neglect), to termination of parental rights, to foster care, to the status of children as children (i.e., children's "rights"). For that reason, the book lends itself to use in any number of courses that might be styled "Juvenile Law," or "Youth Justice," or "Youth and Family Law," or, indeed, "Children in the Legal System" or "Children and the Law." As mentioned below, the flexibility of the book lends itself to varying numbers of credit hours. The book contains a unique blend of cases, statutory materials, and scholarly commentary, including those from the social sciences in addition to law, in such a way that the teacher can draw on a number of sources in examining and teaching about any subject area covered in the book. No supplementary materials are needed; everything is in one book. The organization of the book is an important pedagogical tool as well. It is organized to flow from one area to the next as it explores the overall relationship between the state, parents, and the child, understanding, of course, that a professor in a given course might choose to skip over some parts of the material in the interest of time and coverage. It lends itself particularly to a 2- or 3-hour course, depending on the nature of the course and what the professor chooses to cover. Each course that is taught around the country using this book, whether in law schools or graduate school or even in the undergraduate classroom, will be tailor-made and suited to the particular professor's preferences and emphases and the interests of the students.

For years, technologists and computer scientists have promised an AI revolution that would transform the very basis of how we imagine and administer modern medicine. AI-driven advancements in medical error rates, diagnostic accuracy, or disease outbreak detection could potentially save thousands of lives. But health AI also carries the potential for exacerbating deep systemic biases if left unchecked. The Doctor and the Algorithm combines insights from science and technology studies, critical algorithm studies, and public interest informatics to better understand the promise and peril of health AI. The book draws on case studies in automated diagnostics, algorithmic pain measurement, AI-driven drug discovery, and death prediction to investigate how health AI is made, promoted, and justified. It explores the enthusiastic promises of health AI marketing communication and medical futurism while also analyzing the inequitable outcomes new AI technology often creates for already marginalized communities. Finally, the book closes with specific recommendations for regulatory frameworks that might support more ethical and equitable approaches to health AI in the future. Interweaving textual analysis and original informatics, The Doctor and the Algorithm offers a sobering analysis of the promise of medical AI against the real and unintended consequences that deep medicine can bring for patients, providers, and public health alike.

Most people in jail have not been convicted of a crime. Instead, they have been accused of a crime and cannot afford to post the bail amount to guarantee their freedom until trial. Punishing Poverty examines how the current system of pretrial release detains hundreds of thousands of defendants awaiting trial. Tracing the historical antecedents of the US bail system, with particular attention to the failures of bail reform efforts in the mid to late twentieth century, the authors describe the painful social and economic impact of contemporary bail decisions. The first book-length treatment to analyze how bail reproduces racial and economic inequality throughout the criminal justice system, Punishing Poverty explores reform efforts, as jurisdictions begin to move away from money bail systems, and the attempts of the bail bond industry to push back against such reforms. This accessibly written book gives a succinct overview of the role of pretrial detention in fueling mass incarceration and is essential reading for researchers and reformers alike.

This accessible, introductory text explains the importance of studying 'everyday life' in the social sciences. Susie Scott examines such varied topics as leisure, eating and drinking, the idea of home, and time and schedules in order to show how societies are created and reproduced by the apparently mundane 'micro' level practices of everyday life. Each chapter is organized around three main themes: 'rituals and routines', 'social order', and 'challenging the taken-for-granted', with intriguing examples and illustrations. Theoretical approaches from ethnomethodology, Symbolic Interactionism and social psychology are introduced and applied to real-life situations, and there is clear emphasis on empirical research findings throughout. Social order depends on individuals following norms and rules which are so familiar as to appear natural; yet, as Scott encourages the reader to discover, these are always open to question and investigation. This user-friendly book will appeal to undergraduate students across the social sciences, including the sociology of everyday life, the sociology of emotions, social psychology and cultural studies, and will reveal the fascinating significance our everyday habits hold.

This edition of the SAGES Manual of Hernia Surgery aligns with the current version of the new SAGES University MASTERS Program Hernia Surgery pathway. This manual serves as a curriculum for participants in the MASTERS Program as well as a modern text on hernia surgery for all learners. Hernia surgery is one of the fastest developing fields in general surgery today. There have been rapid advancements in hernia techniques in recent years, making most prior texts on the subject obsolete. These advancements involve significant evolution in both the techniques and strategies for hernia repairs, as well as the tools used to achieve these means. This text thoroughly addresses the multiple component separation techniques and options for locations of mesh repairs. It also discusses the revolution of hernia repair being facilitated by robotic surgery, which allows increased access to minimally invasive techniques for surgeons and thus increased access to minimally invasive surgical repairs for patients. This manual will be a valuable resource for interested surgeons to understand the variety of potential approaches to individual hernias, and to individually tailor the care of the hernia patient.
