PROPOSAL FOR A LANDSCAPE EVALUATION SYSTEM
2023
Abstract. This paper describes a system, currently being designed, for both perceptual analysis and aesthetic evaluation of a landscape. The choice of this topic is motivated by the fact that systems related to landscape visibility (e.g. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for visual impact assessment) are not fully satisfactory when it comes to assessing the aesthetic appearance. They mainly analyse geometric aspects, such as the width of visual basins or the interference of visual trajectories, which can be expressed by objective and comparable parameters. Instead, for effective landscape knowledge and protection, it is important to consider other factors that cannot be easily measured…
La radicalidad del mal banal
2002
El concepto de ‘banalidad del mal’ fue introducido por Hannah Arendt a fin de caracterizar una forma inédita de perversidad que ella vio encarnada en Adolf Eichmann y otros criminales nazis. Arendt consideraba que esa forma de perversidad estaba muy alejada de la noción de ‘mal radical’ que Kant había acuñado y la propia Arendt había empleado en trabajos anteriores. El objetivo principal del artículo es mostrar que hay más afinidades entre el mal radical kantiano y la banalidad del mal de lo que la propia Arendt reconoce. ‘Banality of evil’ was a concept introduced by Hannah Arendt in order to characterize a new form of wickedness embodied in people as Adolf Eichmann and others nazis crimin…
La narration bouffonne dans Gil Blas : « trêve de morale »
2018
For the reading of an extract of The Story of Gil Blas of Santillane, a picaresque narrative and a novel about social ascension from the beginning of XVIII th century, we will question some of the processes and effects of the foolish narration. We come across the model of the farce, the games of parody, the controversial genre of satire : on the one hand, they aim to make the readerlaugh or smile, but they also give rise to thinking, especially when, all things considered, the « moral judgement » is so to speakimpeded.
Leadership and Ethical Decision Making among Mauritian Managers
2017
It is proposed that transformational leadership is likely to be associated with higher ethical decision making, while transactional leadership should be related to lower ethical decision making. However, little empirical research provides support for these claims. Using a structured interview schedule, data from 247 managers was collected from three established higher education institutions in Mauritius. Findings indicate that surprisingly, transformational leadership had a negative impact on ethical judgment and intention of subordinates in relation to ethical issues including bribery, nepotism, padding up of expenses’ account and political favouritism, suggesting the possibility of pseudo…
Le dialogue juge - arbitre dans la création et l'application de normes juridiques
2017
The relations between state and arbitral justice, which were previously conflictual, have now clearly calmed down. Indeed, judges today are maintaining a constructive dialogue with arbitrators, which has led to both the creation and the application of transnational law. This communication thus reviews the main phases of this normative construction, whose completion has led to the strengthening of arbitration in these functions of international commercial justice.
D-dimer testing: advantages and limitations in emergency medicine for managing acute venous thromboembolism
2007
Patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) are frequently admitted to an Emergency Department (ED) for initial evaluation. However, management of patients with suspicion of acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) in this clinical setting can be difficult; in fact symptoms and signs of DVT are non-specific and can be found in a broad spectrum of non-thrombotic disorders. An accurate and timely objective diagnosis is necessary for immediate and correct identification of patients with acute VTE, while avoiding the bleeding risk associated with unnecessary anticoagulant therapy in patients where DVT or PE have been ruled out. The diagnostic approach to patients wit…
The use of contrast echocardiography: a matter of clinical judgement
2005
In their editorial, Buck and Erbel1 raise the important question in which settings application of contrast agents to an echocardiographic examination is appropriate. There is no doubt that the beauty of echocardiography relates to its ease of use. We should acknowledge that highest accuracy in the determination of left ventricular function is not necessary in most patients referred for an echocardiographic evaluation. Thus, contrast echocardiography will not be a technique to be used in all patients for mere evaluation of left ventricular function as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging will not be used in routine clinical practice only for its known superb accuracy. However, there are patien…
A Multidimensional Ethics Scale for Indian Managers' Moral Decision Making
2010
This paper analyses the role of traditional moral theories in managers’ moral decision making using the multidimensional ethics scale (MES) developed and refined by Reidenbach and Robin (1988, 1990). This study extends their work by examining the applicability of the scale to subjects from India, other than the country in which the scale was developed. The research question is: what kind of ethical dimensions do Indian managers reveal when they are making moral decisions. Factor analysis is done to investigate the role of five moral philosophies (justice, deontology, relativism, utilitarianism, and egoism) in their ethical decision-making. The results show that the scale holds for the diffe…
