The Ideal

Do employees possess a moral right to democratic voice at work? In A Preface To Economic Democracy and other writings over the past two decades, Robert Dahl has developed a neo-Kantian proof for the existence of such a right. Even if we accept the norm of distributive justice upon which Dahl founds his proof, voluntary subjection to authoritarian power in firms does not violate the legitimate entitlements of employees. While adult residents of territorial associations do possess a moral right to political equality, polities and firms are qualitatively different types of associations in which the entitlements of subjects are distinct. Subjection to power is acquired in different ways in the two kinds of associations, and this difference deprives employees—but not residents—of a right to democratic voice as a matter of moral desert.Throughout his career, Robert Dahl has been troubled by the different ways in which those who govern polities and firms are chosen in modern society. While democracy is the norm in the state, at least in the advanced industrial nations, authoritarianism prevails in the economy. Most employees are subject to managers they did not elect and to rules in which they had little or no say. They are subordinates, a role manifestly at odds with the ideal of the democratic citizen. Given the “contradictions between our commitment to the democratic ideal and the theory and practice of hierarchy in our daily lives,”

The Ideal

As we improvise in music and become increasingly engrossed in the activity, we are intuitively engaged in a playful negotiation of various aesthetic possibilities in the Now. We are in a state where random impulses and irrational, unintentional actions become key premise providers along with everything we have learned through knowledge and experience. This essay reflects on the responsiveness of the Now in musical improvisation. We ask: What does the experience of the Now offer? Does it come with any kind of ethics and accountability and, if so, what kind and to whom does it apply? In our elaborations we are influenced by our own experiences of, and reflections on, compositional and music therapeutic practice. We refer to the theory of musical improvisation and early interaction, and also philosophical texts, especially those by Mikhail Bakhtin. We suggest that the responsiveness of the Now in musical improvisation is a mindset that challenges us both ethically and aesthetically. It does so by seeking creative satisfaction, joy and insight, taking shape through sensory perception that is close to intuition, mimesis and imagination. Its meaning remains unfinalised and foreign to us. It is also risky and is situated on the boundary between music and performer, between performer and other performers, and between the past and future of our actions. The ideal is to strive for a Now that can be experienced as the right now but also as a Now that suits the responses we try to find room for when we improvise.

The Ideal

This chapter discusses how the ideal of equal status connects to democratic aspirations, and why people should take that ideal seriously. Equality of status constitutes, and is constituted by, relations of an egalitarian kind. When people mutually recognize one another's equal status, they put themselves in an egalitarian relation. However, there are further connections between status equality and egalitarian relations, in that the recognition of equal status in various respects helps promote relationships among citizens free of hierarchy, domination, servility, and the like. These further connections are contingent, depending upon truths of empirical sociology and psychology—about how, in fact, humans tend to respond to certain social conditions, like material or political inequality. A similar structure holds for the ideal of political equality. The shared status of “democratic citizen” is constituted by a range of expectations that regulate institutions and individual practices. That status is properly recognized when institutions and practices meet those expectations. When citizens mutually recognize one another's status, they thereby engage in, and promote, valuable egalitarian political relations.

The transformation of the demand structure and the level of competition head new trends in a modern society, which cause a significant influence to all subjects of the market economy including forestry. In this connection, security issues gain theoretical and practical relevance. Competitive advantages of forestry relate to different types of security including finance, defense and industry, food, environment, investments. The Article describes characteristics of the above mentioned types of security and facilitates linkages between them and forestry both in conjunction and separately. The practical aspect of economic security of forestry is represented by the analysis of statistics on wildfires, reforestation, as well as a number of identified forestry crimes.

AbstractEcotourism has been described as the ideal kind of tourism, as it aims to conserve the natural, cultural and other tourist resources for continuous use for future generations whilst still bringing benefits to the present societies. Theoretically, it sounds so promising and attractive, but when it comes to its actual implementation, significant constraints bar the way to success. Various countries that attempted to foster sustainable development in their communities, either partially achieved their goals or their implementation totally lapsed. These fruitless efforts clearly reflect the huge gap that still exists between the theory and practice of ecotourism. The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap that seems to have been growing in recent years by explaining what has been done wrong and what specific policies and procedures could help bring a positive change. This paper aims to move from theory to practice and concentrate on how the implementation of ecotourism can be achieved properly and lead to success. The key factors responsible for failure are addressed, so they can be avoided and mistakes of the past will not be repeated. It also serves as a guide to more effective strategies of promoting ecotourism successfully around the world.

The term privacy is considered to be the crucial term in our society which has emerged recently and our society has witnessed this term for the past few years. In the recent times, there has been numerous debates on the concept of right to privacy i.e. whether our constitution guarantees the right to privacy and its reasonable restrictions, its non-recognition by some courts and this right has been recognized by the other courts. Alot of Indian jurists has thought whether Art.21 which guarantees right to life includes right to privacy also. But there is no clear cut legal or theoretical frame work to help us in this context. According to Clinton Rossiter privacy is a special king of independence, which can be understood as an attempt to secure autonomy in at least a few personal and spiritual concerns, if necessary in deance of all the pressures of modern society. It is an attempt that is to say to do more than maintain a posture of self-respecting independence toward other men; it seeks to erect an unbreakable wall of dignity and reserve against the entire world. This paper deals with the concept of privacy and the constitutional validity of Aadhaar and Supreme court interpretation on different case laws related to right to privacy in India.

Objective To evaluate the application of ultrasound for the localization of the tip position of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in newborn infants. Study Design This study was a retrospective analysis on ultrasonic localization for PICC placement conducted in our department over the past 2 years. Ultrasonic localization was performed immediately after PICC placement in all neonatal patients. Successful PICC placement was confirmed if the PICC tip position was located at the inferior/superior cavoatrial junction. Chest X-ray localization was performed on 32 infants immediately after ultrasound examination to compare the accuracy of ultrasound localization. Results Of the 186 patients, 174 (93.5%) had successful PICC placement on the first attempt. In 11 (5.9%) patients, the catheter tip was placed beyond the ideal location as follows: too deep (in the right atrium) in 4 patients, too shallow in 4 patients, and malpositioned in 3 patients. Both the sensitivity and the specificity of ultrasound for identifying PICC tip localization were 100%. Complications occurred in 2.7% of this group of patients. Conclusion Ultrasonic localization of the PICC tip position is a timely, accurate, and reliable method and can identify the catheter tip with high accuracy. This method could be widely applied in neonatal wards.

Research Study on the prospects of promoting Dhaka cloth production in Nepal is aimed to explore the present situation and the future prospects of the expansion of Dhaka industry in Nepal. Dhaka cloth is swivel woven through handloom traditional cloth. Its manufacturing is concentrated mainly in Kahtmandu valley, Pokhara and Palpa and in recent years in the hills of eastern Nepal Therathum etc. The research is conducted taking interviews with the owners of Palpali Dhaka Udyog, The rathume Dhaka Udyog Dhaka weaves, Mahaguthi, Dhanakuta sisters entrepreneurs in Kupondole and visiting and interviewing in Gharelu Udyog in Tripureswar and visiting some of the retail shops of Kathmandu valley, where different types of Dhaka are sold from different parts of the countries. A questionnaire is developed to be answered by the retail sellers and another questionnaire was developed by the Dhaka factory owners. The questionnaire include mostly with their production purchases, sales, weaving techniques, yarn used dyeing methods etc. Secondary literature and information are hardly used in this research paper. Possibilities of prospects for the expansion of exports lie in modernization in certain segment of the sectors to ensure the right quality of fabrics used in the garments extension of technical assistance, training and modern techniques and designs. Dhaka weaves export the products in Norvey, Switzerland, Japan, America etc. In the past, it also used to supply in royal family. There is also a good prospect for selling of efficient manufacturing units in the form of export oriented joint ventures in response to the condisreable opportunities available in dynamic export market. Handloom units of the country substituted by the big mills and factories can be organized and modernized for export oriented handloom cloth production if well planned improvement in loom yarn consumption, methods and designs are made.

The term button brooch has been used to describe a variety of different types of small circular Anglo-Saxon brooches. In the past, these have been generally dated to the period beginning in the late fifth century and continuing through to the middle of the sixth. In this paper the term will have a rather more restricted use and apply only to those small saucer-shaped brooches whose main area of ornament consists of a representation of the human face and any other brooches which seem to be derived from this main type. One hundred and eighteen brooches fit into this definition although it has only been possible to examine personally one hundred and six of these. One brooch from Mucking (22.5) was cast in silver before being gilded, otherwise all the brooches were cast in bronze, presumably in a two-piece mould and, with one or two exceptions, were then gilded. The hinge-lug and catchplate were cast in one with the rest of the brooch and the majority of surviving pins indicate that these were made of iron, although six bronze examples have also survived. With the exception of one brooch, the catch section of the catchplate was always bent over in the same direction; to the right if the brooch is placed facedown and turned so that the catch is at the top and the hinge-lug at the bottom. The exception is a brooch from Collingbourne Ducis (11.1) where the turn is to the left.

Abstract The articles in this issue present a wide range of findings. First, the field continues to grapple with definitional issues: different types of projects aimed at different outcomes and audiences. More care needs to be given by each dialogue to define rigorously what it is trying to do and why. Second, fundamental lessons have emerged over the past six decades, which must be learned and observed by those active in this field, even as they seek to push the boundaries of theory and practice. Third, while it is generally agreed that the field must become more inclusive, both in terms of people and interests, and also in terms of encouraging local ownership and more transformative projects, a one-size-fits-all approach will not work; each dialogue should be viewed as unique. Finally, the field is a dynamic and evolving one. What seems to be best practice today may not be so tomorrow.

The Right

In the past three decades, Congress and the courts have used the terms "equality,""equity," "appropriateness," and "adequacy" in an effort to define the legal contours of the right to educational services at the public expense of a population of children with diverse backgrounds, needs, abilities, and disabilities. In fact, these concepts have become a significant part of the daily lives of educators and now serve as the rationale underlying many of their administrative decisions. A declining economy, coupled with increased public dissatisfaction with the performance of the educational system, a political shift to the right, and federal withdrawal from appropriation and regulation under the New Federalism are forcing the educational establishment to redefine these concepts in light of present realities.
