There is widespread criticism of medicine which contrasts with its manifest success in biotechnology. Medicine's failure to convince stems partly from the fact that its successful biotechnology distracts it from the mundane task of responding appropriately to components of commonplace sicknesses which do not stem from disease (things) or illness (symptoms) but from predicaments. Predicaments are painful social situations or circumstances, complex, unstable, morally charged and varying in their import in time and place, which are readily discernible from a good history. Predicaments are distinguished from environmental agents by being an aspect of social organisation rather than structures. Dangerous and excruciating predicaments are described as well as the predicaments of being sick, and being in hospital. Child psychiatrists are often presented with problems where diagnosis of disease or illness in the child is inappropriate and resolution of its predicament alleviates the distress that had been presented in the language of sickness. The model is capable of broader application in psychiatry and medicine. Doctors should be more concerned to know about the context and background of their patients' sickness, as patients give this information very freely if asked. If patients' complaints are misunderstood then medical responses, made in good faith, may be seen as dangerous intrusions leading to a loss of trust, anger, and litigiousness.

The inheritance and the division of inheritance that is felt to be unfair is often a source of dispute. The disputes that occur can sometimes be resolved by making a peace agreement between the disputing parties. The peace desired by the parties is, of course, expected to end disputes/conflict and to provide legal certainty among those in dispute. However, sometimes peace agreements that have been made between those in dispute are disputed again in court. This study aims to examine the settlement of Balinese traditional inheritance disputes through a binding peace agreement between the parties make it. The method used in this study is a normative legal research, using a statute approach and a case approach. The result of this study showed that the settlement of Balinese indigenous inheritance disputes through a binding peace agreement of the parties that make it if the peace agreement is made based on the validity of the agreement as stipulated in article 1320 of the Civil Code, based on good faith as the principles in the law of the agreement, and must be made in the form of a notary deed is in accordance with the provisions for conciliation in book III of the Civil Code.

In a case of alleged assault, evidently made in good faith, the extensive injuries, after thorough examination, were considered to be due to accidental injuries sustained in a state of hysterical fugue.

The objective of this study focuses on empirically analysing the discourse on the correlations between exchange rate and exports, which has been reproduced constantly and extensively in Thai society by authorities from academic circles and public and private sectors. Hence, this study analyses the time series data of exchange rate and exports by means of advanced statistical methodologies, the regression analysis and Johansen's cointegration test. The regression analysis finds that the exchange rate is negatively correlated to the exports, but Johansen's cointegration test results contrariwise that there is no cointegrating relationship in-between. Therefore, such a claim is not an error made in good faith but another example of domineering discourses enabling the elites to take advantages by disguising them as knowledge and truths, over which the other members in the society dare not to doubt nor dispute.

Snow cover and its associated melt have a variety of important biological, hydrological, economic and hazards implications, which under current global change scenarios are anticipated to continue operating as major environmental agents. To this end, considerable advances have been made in recording and mapping snow cover over the past few decades. This review examines the development of snow mapping over time, and explores the application of modern technology to the measurement of snow distribution and characterization. Some advantages and limitations of current snow mapping methods and techniques are discussed, as are their potential to facilitate future snow mapping. It is demonstrated that advances in remote sensing technology and ground-based measurement devices have upgraded snow mapping to a fully digital process during recent decades, and it is anticipated that three-dimensional snow mapping will facilitate a fundamental step toward a new generation of snow observation techniques in the coming years.

Introduction: the paper is devoted to the study of certain problematic issues of eviction, which gives rise to the responsibility of an unscrupulous seller in the event of a third party claiming a thing. For this purpose, the author considers the concept and features of a bona fide buyer, identified by the civil doctrine and used by the judicial practice. Using the methods of scientific knowledge, primarily the method of system and comparative analysis, the author identifies the constituent features of “eviction” by applying an essential-substantival approach to the study of the concept of a bona fide purchaser. Results: it is found that the Civil Code of the Russian Federation does not contain a list of criteria confirming the good faith of a person. An attempt to develop such a list is made in the paper through the semantic content of the concept of good faith. Conclusions: the author concluded that fixing the eviction signs and the criteria of good faith in the civil legislation of the Russian Federation will make it possible to protect the interests of contractors, reduce the risks and protect the parties from possible fraudulent actions and most fully ensure the performance of contractual obligations primarily on the part of the seller.

Cooperation relationships governed by international civil law in the business world between 2 (two) countries or more generally use written agreements to obtain legal certainty for both parties and as a manifestation of good faith / good faith in establishing work relations. The form of cooperation in business between countries is often not made in a permanent form, on the grounds that it is only in the form of an agreement or an initial agreement, there are negotiations until only for consideration. This then becomes the background for the birth of a Memorandum of Understanding in business agreements between countries. The Memorandum of Understanding was initially only considered as a preliminary agreement that has no legal force in binding and forcing the parties concerned to fulfill their obligations and cannot be used as a means of proof in a court of law, this is the view of the general public and the court in a country adhering to the common legal system law, one of which is the state of Australia, whereas according to the Indonesian state which has no law in regulating the Memorandum of Understanding has the legal force in binding and forcing it like any other formal agreement, if it is linked to the Civil Code. The method used in researching this thesis is a type of normative legal research as a guideline for writing, where the author collects data through library research or the results of library studies by reviewing the laws of Indonesia and Australia as the main data in writing this thesis report with the help of journals -journals obtained from electronic means that discuss problems in this thesis report so that the author can conclude from the problem under study. Based on the results of research conducted by researchers, it can be concluded that a Memorandum of Understanding can be formed by two countries with different legal systems with the aim of creating a binding cooperative relationship and has the power to force both parties to fulfill obligations if there is an agreement between parties to state in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding there is an "intention to create legal relations" or intention to form a legal relationship.

This paper aims to analyze the importance of the element of good faith, fair-dealing and disclosure requirements in a hire-purchase contract from both Islamic and conventional financing perspectives. The application of good faith is determined at a particular time by those standards of honesty, fairness and reasonableness prevailing in a given community that are considered appropriate for formulation in new, revised rules. In the eighteenth century, the concept of fair-dealing was viewed as an essential concept and emerged as a governing principle applicable to all common-law contracts. Under Islamic Law, the elements of good faith (iÍsÉn) and fair-dealing (Ñadl) are important and highly emphasized. One of the conclusions made in this research is that good faith and fair-dealing are two crucial elements in hire-purchase contracts, both in the Islamic and conventional systems.

Workers traditionally accommodated co-workers. But, as accommodation law developed, tensions emerged. In Meiorin: accommodation is the norm. Employers must eliminate standards, rules, practices, etc. that discriminate on prohibited grounds, up to undue hardship. In the Canadian Human Rights Act, undue hardship includes only cost, health and safety. Other jurisdictions, following Central Alberta Dairy Pool, consider: impact on the collective agreement, other workers’ rights, employee morale, size of operation, workforce and facility adaptability. O’Malley clarifies adverse affect discrimination. A rule, although made in good faith, may discriminate “if it affects a person … differently from others”. Accommodation may override contract provisions (Renaud), including seniority (Goyette). While employers have principal responsibility for accommodation, unions have a role too (Gohm). Unions reduce accommodation tensions by: auditing collective agreements, reviewing accommodation procedures, educating members and leaders.

Game theory is used to analyze a variety of social situations with competing players and interests, such as competition between businesses and elections. However, the concept of game theory is rarely employed to examine literature work. This paper applies game theory to analyze decisions made in a renowned science fiction series, the Three-Body Problem. How is deterrence established between two entities that want to conquer each other? What about changing the context to many entities? In the context of a science fiction, this paper offers a new perspective that allows readers to understand the rationale behind decisions and consequent outcomes in international relations and deterrence. Additionally, this research employs a simple computer program to help test equilibria in various conditions.
