Per Se

Dr. Kollmann’s original manuscript does not have an Introduction per se; it starts with a chapter on aerothermodynamic concepts and equations underlying the design, analysis and optimization of aeroengine turbochargers. Prima facie, the coverage in that chapter should be easy going for an engineer with an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering. For those who need a deeper dive into the basic theory in order to become comfortable with the rest of the chapters, there are many excellent textbooks, which can be consulted for a good understanding of the subject matter. (A representative selection, based on the SCG’s own experience in using them over the years and/or examining them in depth, is given at the end of this chapter.)

The Individual

The subject matter of this article is unique or rare editions of early Hebrew books. Due to varying external circumstances, these rare books are extant only in fragments, unique single exemplars, or in a limited number of copies. Although Hebrew texts were subject to the same ravages of time and, perhaps, occasional indifference as were other early books, they also suffered to a much greater extent than their non-Hebrew counterparts from the indignities and deeds, or more accurately misdeeds, of anti-Semites who expended their wrath not only on Jews but also directed their venom towards Jewish books. The article is not about the causes of book rarity per se, but rather describes a variety of Hebrew works, either of the individual title, or, in some instances, of a particular edition of a reprinted work that is extant today in a single or a limited number of copies.

Art Of Life

In a recent article (1972) I gave reasons for attributing to Mill a restricted view of the demands of morality, according to which no conduct would be prima facie wrong unless it was harmful to others. This interpretation of Mill raises the problem of reconciling such a view of morality with the principle which Mill calls the Principle of Utility. I tried to show that a reconciliation was possible by invoking the reminder, for which we are indebted to Alan Ryan (1965, 1970) and D. P. Dryer (1969), that Mill conceived of the Principle of Utility as a very abstract principle, and said that it governed not just morality but the whole of the Art of Life. I concluded that, whatever the subject matter of Mill's Principle of Utility might be, it was not the rightness and wrongness of actions.

Transition Procedure

The subject matter of the paper is the reconstructive phase of the derivative conception of interpretation. In this phase, the task of the interpreter is to recreate (reconstruct) from provisions of law a normative expression which later becomes the subject of further interpretation aimed at obtaining (or recognising, reconstructing) norm established by the legislator. Conducting the reconstructive phase allows you to move on to the next, perceptual phase of interpretation, grouping different types of interpretation directives. The paper presents doubts raised by the derivative conception in the chosen scope and attempts to indicate its possible modifications. Especially the theses on the "transition" procedure (paraphrase, semantic derivation) from provisions of law to the normative expression are considered controversial. The proposed modifications concern primarily a thesis of the need to make a set of legal provisions relevant prima facie for determining legal consequences of a given class of events the subject matter of interpretation carried out according to the principles of the perceptual phase.

Significant Attention

The subject of spur gear design problem in mechanical engineering (ME) deserves significant attention since the subject relies heavily on the combination of complex mathematics formulas, graphs, and tables. Many students are facing difficulty in understanding the subject of spur gear design in Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN). Hence, a study was conducted to enhance the learning experience of UNITEN's ME students in the subject matter. In this research, the deterministic, divide, and conquer algorithms were employed to improve the problem-solving technique. The combination of these algorithms provided room for students to make assumption based on their input rather than having the computer to do all the calculation and as well as to break down the complicated problems into sub problems. Additionally, it was designed to examine the effectiveness of using computer-aided software to improve the learning experience and comparing it to the conventional approach.

Recent studies have claimed a disconnect between the disciplines of information science and information systems even though, prima facie, there seems to be considerable overlap or potential overlap in their respective subject matter. The present study will target representative journals in the areas of information science and information systems and examine in more detail the overlap or lack of overlap between the two fields as reflected in the co-word analysis of the titles and abstracts of these journal articles. That the subject matters of the two fields can be combined in a discipline will be shown by a similar analysis of a third field, medical informatics, a new discipline in it its own right and a seeming subject matter hybrid of information science and information systems.

The Treaties establishing European Communities provide that actions before Court ot Justice shall not have suspensive effect but the Court may, if it considers that circumstances so require, order that the application of the contested act be suspended. The application for suspension may relate to the contested measure as a whole or to some of its provisions. Furthermore, they provide that the Court may prescribe any necessary interim measure. The appiicatin for interim measure must state the subject matter of the proceedings, the circumstances giving rise to urgency and the pleas of fact and law establishing a prima facie case for interim measure applied for. The application must also have direct link with the subject matter of the main action. The President of the Court of First Instance rules on the application for interim relief by way of summary proceedings. The order granting the interim relief has only provisional effect and is without prejudice to the final decision of the Court. The parties to the proceedings may lodge an appeal against any decision of the Court of First Instance concemig the interim reliefs within two months from their notification.

Two-stage exams consist of a traditionalpencil-and-paper examination written in class byindividual students, followed immediately by a secondsitting in which the students retake the same exam inteams (i.e. a collaborative test). The team test providesan immediate opportunity for students to discuss, debate,teach, and receive feedback on the subject matter. Itdraws on principles of goal-directed practice, timelytargeted feedback, and collaborative learning.The practice of two-stage testing is a defining featureof the Team-Based Learning approach, and is used forintroductory reading quizzes that begin each coursemodule. These have been part of the instructionalapproach in Mechanical Engineering at the University ofBritish Columbia for over a decade. In 2014, we haveextended two-stage testing to include midterm and finalexaminations. To accommodate the team portion, examswere shortened by approximately one third and questionswere reformatted to be easier to complete in teams.Students report a strong preference this approach(72% in favour) and report a resulting improvement intheir understanding of the course material (75%). Examperformance gains have also been observed. In almost allcases, teams outperform their strongest member, and it isnot uncommon that the weakest team outperforms thestrongest individual in the class. As an added benefit, therevised question structure that makes it easier for studentsto collaborate on exam writing has also simplified andexpedited the marking process.

Corporate Criminal Liability

The jurisprudential foundations of the Criminal Liability of Corporations were laid down much lately in countries like France and India as compared to USA and United Kingdom. This article is a modest attempt on the part of the authors to revisit the subject matter of corporate criminal liability which is often dealt within legal literature as just another offence under the Indian Criminal Justice System. It thoroughly tracks the legislative developments since the origination of the concept in the Romanic Law in 12th-14th century till date, along with the provisions laid down and emergence of the concept in different part of the world. Judicial moods in interpretations to provisions pertaining to corporate criminal liability have been unearthed to show a conservative judiciary giving way to a liberal one, loosening the shackles of power. Laws on the corporate criminal liability need major changes- from amendments in laws to changes in judicial interpretations to changes in victim treatment and approach. This paper attempts to expound the complete subject matter in a thought-through manner to reawaken thinking of an improvised and transformed system of law. A steep rise in the number of crimes committed by the corporations clearly reveals a prima facie malfunctioning of corporate governance which, in return, calls for a much more efficient enforcement of law.

Mixed Systems

The subject matter of this special issue is anything but new: religious diversity has already been widely discussed in theology, philosophy, history and sociology.  (Too) many times, however, diversity has been measured against the yardstick of the changing face of monotheistic models of religion (mainly Christianity). Asian religions have stood at the opposite end of a spectrum of analytical models in religious studies ever since Max Weber’s classic analysis of Asian religions as mixed systems of beliefs per se. This distinction is, nevertheless, rather problematic, and calls for a closer examination of the conceptual status of diversity, and of the forms it assumes in Asian contexts.

From time to time in recent years, the complaint has been voiced that “women’s studies” have gone far enough: panels on women at professional meetings arede rigeur. though the subject matter is becoming somewhat tedious; articles and books on women are proliferating, though they seem to be increasingly repetitive; and furthermore, it is argued, there is nothing intrinsically interesting or problematic about womenper se. As for investigators whose interest focus on women in the Middle East, they have been called opportunistic, capitalizing on the feminist movement in the United States, and have been accused of imposing feminist concerns and sensibilities on Middle Eastern societies.
