Overview: Why is it that soldiers may be killed in war but civilians may not be killed? By tracing the evolution of the principle of non-combatant immunity in Western thought from its medieval religious origins to its modern legal status, Colm McKeogh attempts to answer this question. In doing so he highlights the unsuccessful attempts to reconcile warfare with our civilization‘s most fundamental principles of justice.978-1-349-42965-3978-1-4039-0746-2

Overview: Covers all relevant aspects of anti-influenza virus drug discovery.Contributions by international leading scientists.A valuable source of information for researchers, clinicians and the pharmaceutical.Influenza continues to be an ongoing problem despite the existence of vaccines and drugs. Disease outbreaks can occur relatively quickly as witnessed with the recent emergence of the influenza virus A/H1N1 pandemic. The development of new anti-influenza drugs is thus a major challenge. .This volume describes all aspects of the virus structure and function relevant to infection. The focu

Overview: Zum Stand der aktuellen SozialtheorieIn diesem Band rücken Autoren aus den Bereichen der theoretisch und empirisch orientierten Soziologie, der Erziehungswissenschaft sowie aus Beratung und Politik jeweils eine Frage nach Verhältnissen in den Mittelpunkt ihres Interesses: Wie nehmen soziale Systeme auf ihre personale Umwelt Bezug? Wie ist das Selbstverhältnis sinnverwendender Systeme beschaffen? Wie können alltäglich lebende Menschen ihr Verhalten an sozialen Systemen orientieren, und welche Bedeutung ist diesen Orientierungsleistungen für soziale Prozesse beizumessen? Die zunächst i

Overview: Die Entwicklung auf dem Gebiete der Investitionsrechnung verlief in den letzten Jahren recht stürmisch. Das Aufkommen neuer Rechenverfahren, insbesondere im Rahmen der Programmierungs- oder Optimierungs rechnung, eröffnete den Zugang zu Problemen, die bis dahin als nicht lösbar notgedrungen ausge­ klammert worden waren. Das Interdependenzproblem, die Verbindung von Pro­ duktions- und Investitionsplanung, Fragen der Investitionsfinanzierung, der Liquidität usw. können dank dieser Verfahren heute in wesentlich umfassen­ derer Weise berücksichtigt werden, als dies die klassischen Method

Overview: Contains the most recent results obtained by a number of world leading experts in the field.This proceedings volume contains papers on the main topics reflecting the scientific programme of the symposium: hierarchical, refined mathematical and technical models of shells, plates, and beams; relation of 2D and 1D models to 3D linear, non-linear and physical models; junction problems. In particular, peculiarities of cusped shells, plates, and beams are emphasized and special attention is paid to junction, multibody and fluid-elastic shell (plate, beam) interaction problems and their app

Overview: Serves as a practical guide on labour management and industrial relations for practitioners and managers.Includes a first-hand account of industry in China and takeaway lessons for India and the devel.This book discusses the increasing use of contract labour in India that has accompanied attempts to liberalise the economy. After briefly examining Indian labour laws and public policy, it juxtaposes the country’s labour market practices with international labour standards. The questions that are raised are then explored through a series of empirical studies investigating the use of con

Overview: Connects theory to action by covering social issues and practical measures alike.Focuses on the environment, particularly ongoing climate change issues.Helps readers understand the core issues by offe.This book analyzes the interplay between development and the environment, focusing on how to forge social consensus and practices in the international community.

Overview: The 2002 IFIP Workshop on Internet Technologies, Applications, and Societal Impact (WITASI 2002), held in Wroclaw, Poland, October 10-11, 2002, presents different research aspects of the Internet, both technical and societal. The workshop aims at getting together scientists and practitioners from different research areas to work together on Internet development and reflect on Internet consequences to the economy and society. The papers presented in these proceedings describe state-of-the-art research in such areas of Internet applications as languages, mobility, multimedia, quality o

Overview: The present book is about instability and conflict in the Middle East at a time when many still believe that peace between the Arabs and Israel will bring an end to all problems in the region. Maybe that is due to the fact that the Arab-Israeli conflict has dominated much of the discussions about the area over the past fifty years. Insufficient attention has therefore been devoted to other important issues that may not be quite as eye-catching or newsworthy. This is exactly what the book is aiming to offer.978-0-230-37807-0

Overview: Complex systems are ubiquitous, and practically all branches of science ranging from physics through chemistry and biology to economics and sociology have to deal with them. In this book we wish to present concepts and methods for dealing with complex systems from a unifying point of view. Therefore it may be of inter­ est to graduate students, professors and research workers who are concerned with theoretical work in the above-mentioned fields. The basic idea for our unified ap­ proach sterns from that of synergetics. In order to find unifying principles we shall focus our attention

Overview: In this study two strands of inferentialism are brought together: the philosophical doctrine of Brandom, according to which meanings are generally inferential roles, and the logical doctrine prioritizing proof-theory over model theory and approaching meaning in logical, especially proof-theoretical terms.978-1-349-49755-3978-1-137-45296-2

Overview: Philosophy finds itself "between tradition and another beginning." 1 For this reason it seems necessary to reconsider the foundations of traditional philosophy in the hope that out of these considerations new questions may arise which may lead to a new philosophical foundation. To this end neither the large manual nor the monograph is well suited. What is required, instead, is to take a few steps which lead our thoughts directly into the problems of a given, traditional, philosophical foun­ dation. In this sense the present work wishes to provide an "introduction" into that philosoph
