Какое место занимают композиторы в мире современной музыкальной культуры и каковы их перспективы в будущем? В своей предыдущей книге Владимир Мартынов — исследователь и композитор — вынес окончательный приговор: время композиторов ушло в прошлое. Закончилась ли вместе с ними музыка? Ответ на этот вопрос содержит новая книга Мартынова — «Зона opus posth». Какая музыка зазвучит в новой, «посткомпозиторской» реальности, каковы законы, по которым она создается и функционирует, какой она станет — музыкальная культура будущего, — обо всем этом Мартынов рассуждает не только как «футуролог» и музыковед, но и как философ и социолог.

Since the original article was written, there have been many changes and improvements to the J language. While the mathematically oriented users no doubt drove these, many of the changes have not only simplified the code, but also provided considerable speed up to the operations typical of commercial processing. As a result I have updated the original article with discussion of these changes. J, like its precursor APL, is used in business for financial and mathematical modeling, analysis of large databases, engineering, actuarial work, forecasting, operational research studies, and other applications where a knowledgeable person is mostly employing it in their own work or as a teaching and communications tool. Quite often those employing it are very reticent about how they use it, or just exactly what the application consists of. They view it as conferring a definite edge, a competitive advantage in their business that they would prefers others not be aware of. When competing for fixed price applications development contracts, others are equally disinclined to broadcast the fact that they employ such languages to gain a speed and cost advantage. All this makes it rather difficult for an IT or business manager to evaluate whether J is applicable to their own business. The J language is a powerful interpretive language with a concise syntax. Its very power and conciseness makes it difficult for a novice to master, but also makes it of interest to a manager because little code and effort is required to achieve results. This article discuses the features of J, which make it applicable to typical commercial processing, tasks. It provides simple code examples to illustrate for a manager how little code may be required to implement powerful data manipulation capabilities. Hopefully the article will be of value to those evaluating high-level languages suitable for commercial processing in a distributed, client/server or mainframe environment.

This book offers a group of essays published in memory of David Thomasma, one of the leading humanists in the field of bioethics during the twentieth century. The authors represent many different countries and disciplines throughout the globe. The volume deals with the pressing issue of how to ground a universal bioethics in the context of the conflicted world of combative cultures and perspectives.

Trauma in general is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and causes more loss of productive years than ischemic heart disease and malignancy together. Cardiothoracic trauma occurs in 60% of multitrauma patients and is 2-3 times more common than intra-abdominal visceral injuries. It constitutes 25% of traumatic deaths and contributes significantly to at least another 25% of these fatalities. Though only about 15% of chest trauma requires operative intervention, a considerable number of preventable deaths occur due to inadequate or delayed treatment of otherwise an easily remediable injury. The aim of this study was to describe rare but serious and sometimes fatal entities in patients with cardiothoracic trauma sustained in two Scandinavian countries, and to determine the outcome.

Children of almost any age can break the law, but at what age should children first face the possibility of criminal responsibility for their alleged crimes? This work is the first global analysis of national minimum ages of criminal responsibility (MACRs), the international legal obligations that surround them, and the principal considerations for establishing and implementing respective age limits. Taking an international children's rights approach, with a rich theoretical framework and the vitality of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, this work maintains a critical perspective, such as in challenging the assumptions of many children's rights scholars and advocates. Compiling the age limits and statutory sources for all countries, this book explains the broad historical origins behind most of them, identifying the recurring practical challenges that affect every country and providing the first comprehensive evidence that a general principle of international law requires all nations, regardless of their treaty ratifications, to establish respective minimum age limits.

The understanding of design in general and the structure of scientific research in design inevitably leads to discussions of the central categories for design. Constructive debate and struggles for acceptance fuel such a process—a process that, as a sign of fruitful further refinement, can never be completely finished. It is well known that such a development, especially in design, cannot be addressed without obstacles and indeed dissent. Even within a single cultural or linguistic realm, the positions are supposedly irreconcilable. Any undertaking that attempts to create understanding across cultural and linguistic borders is that much more ambitious.

This book explores how globalisation influences the understanding of law. Adopting a broad concept of law and a global perspective, it critically reviews mainstream Western traditions of academic law and legal theory. Its central thesis is that most processes of so-called 'globalisation' take place at sub-global levels and that a healthy cosmopolitan discipline of law should encompass all levels of social relations and the legal ordering of these relations. It illustrates how the mainstream Western canon of jurisprudence needs to be critically reviewed and extended to take account of other legal traditions and cultures. Written by the one of the foremost scholars in the field, this important work presents an exciting alternative vision of jurisprudence. It challenges the traditional canon of legal theorists and guides the reader through a field undergoing seismic changes in the era of globalisation. This is essential reading for all students of jurisprudence and legal theory.

This book explores the thesis that legal roles force people to engage in moral combat, an idea that is implicit in the assumption that citizens may be morally required to disobey unjust laws, while judges may be morally required to punish citizens for civil disobedience. Heidi Hurd advances the surprising argument that the law cannot require us to do what morality forbids. Moral Combat is a sophisticated, well-conceived and carefully argued book on a very important and controversial topic at the junction between legal and political philosophy. It will be of interest to moral, legal, and political philosophers, as well as teachers and students of professional ethics in law.
