Epilepsy Treatment

A systematic approach can simplify the process of epilepsy treatment, and knowledge of the antiseizure drugs is essential. This chapter summarizes the approach to treatment, presents a summary of medications and alternative therapies, and discusses treatment in special situations. A rational approach should be taken when selecting medications for the treatment of seizures associated with epilepsy. The choices for drug selection are ever expanding, which can make the selection process difficult for even experienced epileptologists, let alone trainees and patients. On the other hand, the diverse choices available allow medications to be tailored to each patient’s specific situation.

Maritime Technology

Blockchain technology, since its introduction, has been expected to be implemented in many areas. Cryptocurrency is one unique example that established a functioning application. On the other hand, blockchain technology is not immune to various challenges related to the nature of itself, privacy management, and antitrust laws, among others. This study lays out the nature of blockchain and applications in the maritime industry, while highlighting the bottlenecks. Potential resolutions and anticipated developments are proposed. To do this, we adopt a systematic approach and present an overview of blockchain in maritime literature. In addition, the fundamental problems with blockchain are investigated, beginning from their essentials to the pain points that are claimed to need improvement. For establishing a legitimate and practically meaningful blockchain platform, stakeholders need to achieve pluralism (consensus validation), privacy, and security of the system.

Resilience Indicators

We explore the baseline resilience to natural hazards through the Baseline Resilience Indicators for Community (BRIC) in northeastern Taiwan. Based on the specific situation of our study site, we slightly modified the BRIC. Due to the correlation between some of the subcomponents, we apply principal component analysis (PCA) to solve this issue. Therefore, we slightly changed the classification of subcomponents. We aggregated economic resilience, social resilience, and community capital resilience into socioeconomic community resilience. The result of geographically weighted regression (GWR) shows that even though we modified the indicator, the BRIC we built is still valid. Through spatial autocorrelation analysis, it reveals that the urban region in plain areas is the cluster of high resilience areas. On the other hand, almost all the entire mountain areas are the cluster of low resilience areas. The topography is the most important factor to cause this distribution. Plain areas have favorable characteristics to trigger development and create high socioeconomic community resilience. Mountain areas, on the other hand, do not have these advantages. The distribution of institutional and infrastructure subcomponents shows no particular pattern. That is to say, institutional and infrastructure subcomponents do not influence the distribution of BRIC. The difference in socioeconomic community resilience causes the uneven distribution of baseline resilience to natural hazards. Nevertheless, the distribution of institutional and infrastructure resources is also a crucial issue. In our case, although the distribution of institutional and infrastructure follows the “distributive justice” approach and distribution randomly, whether it is an appropriate approach is still under debate.

Abstract It seems that the concept of culture is becoming ever more ambivalent. On the one hand, since the 20th century nearly every topic or object can be perceived as a product of culture or as an expression of a specific cultural subdomain. On the other hand, we are witnessing a return of identitarian movements which use culture as a normative concept to designate the substantial unity of a “we” and separate this unity from other cultures and people. Against this back-drop, the article traces back the concept of culture to the specific situation of modernity, which could be characterized by the loss of substance and the challenge of contingency in all fields of the lifeworld. The essay argues that, emerging in this modern situation, culture is not defined by a specific content or a set of objects, but is used rather as a way of putting one’s own position into question. Seeing things through the lens of culture implies that the actual given comes into view as something that has developed socially and historically. From such a perspective, culture is neither an arbitrary concept nor a substantial unity but allows for a critical reflection on the present.

The article is devoted to consideration of specifics and features of realization of the law in various forms in a context of a ratio conditional and unconditional in the law. The author comes to the conclusion that all forms of the law implementation, in varying degrees, whether conditional or unconditional, because, on the one hand, embodied in a specific situation, in relation to individuals, accompanied by a compilation of individual legal act, but, on the other hand, faced with the extrapolation quite dogmatically posilioned as binding rules of law to real life circumstances, mainly through public-imperious peremptory effect. For each of the forms of realization of the law, only the nature of the ratio and the degree of dominance of one of the two principals will differ, which, in the end, serves the presence of a wide range of ways and means of satisfying people’s needs and protecting interests in the law.

Potential Impact

This paper analyzes how evaluators' private information and subjective biases affect evaluations in academia. We use evidence from centralized selection exams in Spain, where evaluators are randomly assigned to promotion committees. Candidates are significantly more likely to be promoted when they are evaluated by an acquainted evaluator, but the source of the premium depends on the nature of this relationship. Our findings suggest that, when candidates are evaluated by their PhD advisor, a colleague or a coauthor, evaluation biases dominate the potential impact of informational gains. Weaker links, on the other hand, may improve the efficiency of the selection process. (JEL D82, I23, J44, M51)

This research aims to provide prescriptions on what is the relevance of the Value of Goods toward Criminal Act of Theft and what should be done. This research is a Normative Research, with the approach was Conceptual, Statute and Case approach. Legal material itself was legislation, court rulings, legal journals, theses, and other official legal publications. The data then were analyzed qualitatively. The result of the researcher indicate that the Value of Goods as the causa prima has relevance to criminal act of theft. Misdriff or not, using regular or quick criminal procedure, both depend on the Value of Goods and the specific situation. On the other hand, the accusation of the public prosecutor has an essential role, especially in determining the loss, the specification of evidence, and the application of the Article which has implications for the consideration of judges' decisions. Finally, the high burden of cases and other problems can be prevented by strengthening the existence of misdriff through the adjustment or reconstruction of the Value of Goods until reconstruction of the Criminal Act of Theft.
