In neo-classical economics it is assumed that individuals, as separate economic agents whose 'preferences' or 'tastes' are already given, make selfish cost-benefit type analyses in order to maximise their personal utility. People act, in other words, as 'rational economic man'. While on occasion the 'taste' for 'leisure', 'welfare' or 'pleasure' more generally is included in the definition of u...

During their time in university, students of industrial design are typically trained to improve the appearance, function and value of products. This product-centric focus of the industrial designer’s work is often blamed for the proliferation of unnecessary products in the market and the promotion of such wasteful values as rapid obsolescence and conspicuous consumption. In this paper, the usua...

Adolescents are medically, developmentally and psychologically distinct from children and adults. Although we all have patients in this age group who are communicative, adherent and capable, many of us have been faced with young people who are difficult to work with, for a variety of reasons. The aim of this article is to consider which young people are most challenging to rheumatology professi...

is now increasingly recognized by genetic screening. Association studies have identified numerous genes that are coupled to cardiac diseases, but the functional role of mutations in these genes is often not clear. The relations between the electrophysiological changes in patients with hereditary or chronic cardiac diseases is often far from clear. This calls for an integrated type of research, ...

In this talk we discuss the cosmic singularity. We motivate the need to correct general relativity in the study of singularities, and mention the kind of corrections provided by string theory. We review how string theory resolves time-like singularities with two examples. Then, a simple toy model with lightlike singularities is presented, and studied in classical string theory. It turns out tha...
