Background: Ethical issues and problems related to the behavior of individuals, in particular prisoners, including disobedient and rude towards the guards, curators and other prisoners, common immorality in friendly relationships and in-prison violence are new problems that it requires resorting to new ideas in the realm of ethics to find solutions for them. This study aimed to investigate the ...

The research discussed a pressure, opportunity, as well rationalization have positive effect on corruption. However, the system does not weaken influence of rationalization, and ability corruption neither internal control strengthen negative integrity Therefore, SPIP in Supreme Court Republic Indonesia must be able to adapt COSO theory since is government body that specifically characterized la...

Current drug discovery strategies include both molecular and empirical approaches. The molecular approaches are predominantly hypothesis-driven and are referred to as target-based. The empirical approaches are referred to as phenotypic because they rely on phenotypic measures of response. A recent analysis revealed the phenotypic approaches to be the more successful strategy for small-molecule,...

A crystallization screening process is presented that was developed for a small academic laboratory. Its underlying concept is to combine sparse-matrix screening with systematic screening in a minimum number of crystallization conditions. The sparse-matrix screen is the cherry-picked combination of conditions from the Joint Center for Structural Genomics (JCSG) extended using conditions from ot...

— We prove a quantitative version of a result of Furstenberg [20] and Deligne [13] stating that the the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic is algebraic. As a consequence, we obtain that for every prime p the reduction modulo p of the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series f with integer coefficients is an algebrai...

We study when two-member household choice behavior is compatible with Pareto optimality. We ask when an external observer of household choices, who does not know the individuals’ preferences, can rationalize the choices as being Pareto-optimal. Our main contribution is to reduce the problem of rationalization to a graph-coloring problem. As a result, we obtain simple tests for Pareto optimal ch...

Integrity is a non-ordinary commodity. The “sale” of integrity gives rise to the anomaly of shame. If integrity has a price, why do agents experience a disutility (shame) that they try to hide or, by resorting to self-rationalization, try to deny? The proposed view, called “quantum,” explains shame easily. It also avoids another set of anomalies that face heterodox models based on the multiple-...
