  • Causality and Causation in Law
    Causality and Causation in Law Jan Hellner Of all truths relating to phenomena, the most valuable to us are those which relate to the order of their succession. On a knowledge of these is founded every reasonable anticipation of future facts, and whatever power we have of influencing these facts to our advantage. John Stuart Mill, A System of Logic Aleksander Peczenik’s chief contribution to traditional legal science, apart from jurisprudence, is his monograph on “Causes and Damages” (1979). In this book he has analysed problems of causation with particular regard to Swedish tort law. It seems therefore an appropriate tribute to his work in legal science to continue the analysis of causation. In the following I shall discuss some questions, most of them pertaining to fields other than the law of torts, which deal with causation in a wide sense. These questions are: 1 ) What is the relation between causality and causation in law? 2) What does causation mean in legal contexts other than ascribing responsibility? 3) What is the role of the logic of conditions in the analysis of causation in law? Although the questions are far too complicated to be analysed fully in the present context, it seems worthwhile to draw attention to them. 1. Occasionally there is in one language a single word or expression for a concept that in another language is represented by either of two different words, which are not quite synonymous. This linguistic feature indicates that there are really two different concepts, which can be confused when the former of these languages is used.

  • Teaching Practice and Analytical Capacity Among Degree College Students – a Study
    www.ijcrt.org © 2013 IJCRT | Volume 1, Issue 1 March 2013 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Teaching Practice and Analytical Capacity among Degree College Students – A Study *Dr. Ismail M Makandar, Associate Professor, Dept Of Sociology, SSA Govt First Grade College, Bellary. Abstract This paper attempts to study how teaching practice is the culminating point and bedrock upon which the student teacher builds analytical thinking capacity among Degree College Students. College students need to have analytical thinking skills to complete research and develop new knowledge and innovation by themselves. Concept mapping is an efficient tool for analytical thinking skill development. Teaching practice is an integral component of teacher training. It grants student teachers experience in the actual teaching and learning environment. focuses upon developing the analytical thinking skills of College students by using concept mapping. Analytical skill is the ability to deconstruct information into smaller categories in order to draw conclusions. Analytical skill consists of categories that include logical reasoning, critical thinking, communication, research, data analysis and creativity. Analytical skill is taught in contemporary education with the intention of fostering the appropriate practises for future professions. The professions that adopt analytical skill include educational institutions, public institutions, community organisations and industry. Richard J. Heuer Jr. explained that 'Thinking analytically is a skill like carpentry or driving a car. It can be taught, it can be learned, and it can improve with practice. But like many other skills, such as riding a bike, it is not learned by sitting in a classroom and being told how to do it. Analysts learn by doing.'.

  • Beyond Believability: Quantifying the Differences Between Real and Virtual Humans
    Beyond Believability: Quantifying the Differences between Real and Virtual Humans Celso M. de Melo1, and Jonathan Gratch2 1USC Marshall School of Business, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0808 [email protected] 2Institute for Creative Technologies, University of Southern California, 12015 Waterfront Drive, Building #4, Playa Vista, CA 90094-2536 [email protected] Abstract. “Believable” agents are supposed to “suspend the audience’s disbelief” and provide the “illusion of life”. However, beyond such high-level definitions, which are prone to subjec- tive interpretation, there is not much more to help researchers systematically create or assess whether their agents are believable. In this paper we propose a more pragmatic and useful benchmark than believability for designing virtual agents. This benchmark requires people, in a specific social situation, to act with the virtual agent in the same manner as they would with a real human. We propose that perceptions of mind in virtual agents, especially pertaining to agency – the ability to act and plan – and experience – the ability to sense and feel emotion – are critical for achieving this new benchmark. We also review current computational systems that fail, pass, and even surpass this benchmark and show how a theoretical framework based on perceptions of mind can shed light into these systems. We also discuss a few important cases where it is better if virtual humans do not pass the benchmark. We discuss implications for the design of virtual agents that can be as natural and efficient to interact with as real humans. Keywords: Believability, Mind Perception, Emotion, Virtual vs. Real Humans 1 Introduction The intelligent virtual agents community has always been fascinated with building “believable” agents.

    UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies 2019-20 offer, v1 Policy, Communication, and Ethics Medical Sciences with Policy, Communication, and Ethics (PCE) Route Code UBIMEDWPCE01 AIMS & OBJECTIVES Policy, Communication, and Ethics (PCE) provides an opportunity to approach modern medicine through the lens of collaborating activities: (1) ethics and philosophy of science, (2) science policy and governance, and (3) science communication and engagement. It offers a package of modules rich with real-world Knowledge set firmly within core academic frameworks. It also delivers Key skills associated with original research, critical thinking, analysis, and reflection. Medicine doesn’t operate in a vacuum. It is surrounded, shaped, and enabled by collaborating activities. The primary aim of our programme is to prepare medical students for careers in which these subjects are encountered on a regular basis. The secondary aim is skill-development. Medicine, as a professional domain, includes many careers other than clinical practice and life at the research bench. Policy maKers and regulators, journalists and funders, technology developers, ethicists and analysts all play Key roles. Skill development in these areas can add complementary assets to an otherwise- standard portfolio. It also can open firm new career possibilities should clinical or research medicine lose their appeal. By the end of the PCE programme, students should be able to: • describe Key concepts and knowledge in (1) ethics and philosophy of science, (2) science policy and

  • The Relationship Between Nurse Staffing and Patient Satisfaction in Emergency Departments
    The Relationship between Nurse Staffing and Patient Satisfaction in Emergency Departments by Imtiaz Daniel A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation University of Toronto © Copyright by Imtiaz Daniel, 2012 ii The Relationship between Nurse Staffing and Patient Satisfaction in Emergency Departments Imtiaz Daniel Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Patient satisfaction is a key outcome measure being examined by researchers exploring the relationships between patient outcomes and hospital structure and care processes. Only a few non-generalizable studies, however, have explored the relationship of nurse staffing and patient satisfaction with nursing care in emergency departments of hospitals. This dissertation aims to address that gap. Using more than 182,000 patient satisfaction surveys collected over a five-year period from 153 emergency departments (EDs) in 107 hospitals throughout Ontario, this study explores the relationship between nurse staffing and patient perceptions of nursing care in a range of Canadian ED settings, including urban and rural, community and academic, and small and large healthcare institutions with varying sizes and case mix. Using an established conceptual framework for investigating the relationship between nurse staffing and patient outcomes, nineteen nurse staffing variables were initially investigated. Ultimately, however, only five staffing variables were used in the multi-level regression analyzes. These five variables included registered nurse (RN) proportion, RN agency proportion, percent full-time nurse worked hours, RN worked ii iii hours per patient length of stay and registered practical nurse (RPN) worked hours per length of stay.

    S ECTION␣ 1:␣ THE␣SKILL␣CRITERION■ Section 1: The Skill Criterion According to the Equal Wages Guidelines, 1986: Skill: 3. For the purposes of subsection 11(2) of the Act, intellectual and physical qualifications acquired by experience, training, education or natural ability shall be considered in assessing the skill required in the performance of work. 4. The methods by which employees acquire the qualifications referred to in section 3 shall not be considered in assessing the skill of different employees. General Tips for Selecting, Creating and Adapting Factors Relating to the Skill Criterion Ensure that factors: ❍ fit (i.e., are appropriate to) ❍ do not overlap with others the skill criterion ❍ measure job content ❍ are not gender biased ❍ are clearly written ❍ are able to differentiate jobs ❍ reflect what is valued in the organization Skill: ❍ refers to abilities required to perform the job ❍ should relate to mental or physical capabilities ❍ usually includes variables such as complexity, difficulty, speed, depth and breadth of knowledge, co-ordination Inappropriate variables include importance, duration and frequency. When evaluating jobs according to Skill factors, jobs should get credit for their highest skill requirements. These will not necessarily be the most commonly used skills, but those which must be available at all times. If a job could be ranked in more than one slot on the matrix due to different skill requirements, it should be given credit for the higher requirements. 11 ■ ␣ G UIDE␣ TO␣PAY␣EQUITY␣ AND␣JOB␣EVALUATION How to Recognize or Identify a Skill Factor A job requirement that demands training or practice to achieve or maintain a competency level, is usually considered a skill factor.

HOWARTH† What constitutes the body of legal knowledge that every lawyer must possess? I used to know, or think I did, but no longer. I suspect no one else knows either. This difficult question is not just an intriguing theoretical matter but also an urgent, practical problem. Licensing regulators assume that minimal competence in any profession requires certain fundamental knowledge, skills, and abilities.1 Bar examiners must determine what knowledge, skills, and abilities are necessary for minimum competence as an attorney and then design tests and other requirements to attempt to align licensure with minimum competence. Today’s tangled attorney licensing puzzle cannot be solved without better answers to this foundational question: what law must every lawyer know? I. AN INITIAL CATEGORICAL QUANDARY: CAN WE SEPARATE KNOWLEDGE FROM SKILLS AND ABILITY? Of the “knowledge, skills, and abilities” triad, my focus is knowledge.
