Publicly asserting the necessity of slow, careful attention to immeasurable pleasure and immeasurable cares can be a form of political activism in our speeded-up society. If 'caring' has to be defended actively, people need a public, political language for defending it. How do Americans publicly defend attention to immeasurable pleasures and immeasurable suffering? How do they speak in everyday...

The consensus view in philosophy of science is that reductionism is dead. One reason for this is that the deductive nomological (DN) model of explanation, on which classical reductionism depends, is widely regarded as indefensible. I argue that the DN model is inessential to the reductionist framework, and that mechanism provides a better framework for thinking about reductionism. But this runs...

Cloud computing visualize as the next generation computing technique for Information technology due to advantages provided by this technology. Cloud computing solutions are scalable, advanced and low cost. Its nature is distributed as cloud, it is indefensible to a large category of attacks are very frequent. Security is major challenge in cloud computing . This paper proposed the creation of F...

This paper identifies 10 common 'mistakes' in developing and using forest biodiversity indicators from the standpoint of making better forest management choices. The mistakes relate to a failure to clarify the values-basis for indicator selection and a failure to integrate science and values to design indicators that are concise, relevant and meaningful to decision makers. The combined effects ...

Much has been written––especially in recent years––regarding the perceived problem of ―over patenting‖ within cooperative standard setting. Because standards are thought to frequently convey market power to those firms whose patented technologies are included in the standard, the concern is that ―strategic‖ patenting, driven not by innovation but by rent seeking, will enable some firms to licen...

The literature on self-injurious behavior suggests five major hypotheses concerning the motivation of such behavior: (a) self-injurious behavior is a learned operant, maintained by positive social reinforcement (positive reinforcement hypothesis); (b) self-injurious behavior is a learned operant, maintained by the termination of an aversive stimulus (negative reinforcement hypothesis) ; (c) sel...

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is a major milestone in safeguarding the rights of persons with disabilities. However, the General Comment on Article 12 of the CRPD threatens to undermine critical rights for persons with mental disabilities, including the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health, access to justice, the right to liberty, and the ...

It is considered the right of children to have their pain managed effectively. Yet, despite extensive research findings, policy guidelines, and practice standard recommendations for the optimal management of paediatric pain, clinical practices remain inadequate. Empirical evidence definitively shows that the unrelieved pain in children has only harmful consequences, with no benefits. Contributi...

in this paper, we first define spaces of single difference sequences defined by a sequence of orlicz functions without convexity and investigate their properties. then we extend this idea to spaces of double sequences and present a new matrix theoretic approach construction of such double sequence spaces.
