Case Interpretations are Official Policy publication on www.nar.realtor. (Revised 5/17) The Case Interpretation of the Code of Ethics approved by the National Association’s Professional Standards Committee and published in Interpretation of the Code of Ethics illustrate and explain the principles articulated in the Articles and Standards of Practice. While a REALTOR® cannot be found in violation of a Standards of Practice or a Case Interpretation, both are official statements of National Association policy and are not merely advisory. Both can be cited by complainants in support of alleged violations of Articles and by hearing panels in support of decisions that an Article(s) has been violated. (Adopted 11/10) Interpretations of the Code of Ethics presents specific situations involving charges of alleged unethical conduct by REALTORS® which are reviewed by a peer panel of Association Members and in which decisions as to ethical conduct are reached. Each case provides the Hearing Panel’s decision based on the facts and the rationale for the decision, but does not specify a specific sanction or discipline to be imposed. There are two reasons for this. First, any sanction imposed must always fit the offense and must involve every consideration of justice, equity, and propriety. Second, a Hearing Panel may base its recommendation for discipline on a Member’s past record of ethics violations. For this reason, the Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual establishes that a Member Association may utilize a wide range of sanctions for ethics violations. 1 Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual Interpretations of the Code of Ethics CASE INTERPRETATIONS Case #1-2: Honest Treatment of All Parties (Originally Case #7-2.

That imaginative realm of tolerance was born with modern Europe, it is the very image of Europe- of at least our dream of Europe, a dream many times betrayed but nonetheless strong enough to unite us all in the fraternity that stretches far beyond the little European continent. But we know that the wodd where the individual is respected (the imaginative world of the novel, and the real one of Europe) is fragile and perishable. if European culture seems under threat today, if the threat from within and without hangs over what is most precious about it - its respect for the individual, for his original thought, and for his right to an inviolable private life - then, I believe, that precious essenceof the European spirit is being held safe as in a treasure chest inside the history of the novel, the wisdom of the novel.

  • The Contingency Theory of Management Accounting and Control: 1980 – 2014
    The contingency theory of management accounting and control: 1980 – 2014 David Otley Distinguished Professor of Accounting & Management (Emeritus) Lancaster University Management School Lancaster LA1 4YX, UK [e-mail: [email protected] ] Abstract This article reviews the literature on the contingency theory of management accounting since the 1980 review by the author. It traces the expansion of this literature and critically outlines some of the major themes explored over this period. It argues that a mechanistic approach that will develop into a predictive mechanism for the design of optimal control systems is misguided. Rather the existence of management control ‘packages’ that are continually changing and developing requires studies that follow these changes over time and seek to explain the mechanisms that are observed to be deployed. The ‘package’ concept has not yet been taken seriously in the design of most empirical studies although this is fundamental to the design of future studies. That is, different elements of control system packages are developed quasi independently by different actors at different times and are only loosely co-ordinated. Full coordination is precluded for several reasons, most notably the rapid pace of change and the addition of new or amended systems at a faster rate than the coordination process can develop. It is suggested that the narrow view of contingency that relies on responses to generally applicable questionnaires needs to be replaced by a more tailored approach that takes into account the context of specific organizations.

Scope This publication provides doctrine to plan, establish, operate, manage, and either transition or close contingency bases. 2. Purpose This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations, and it provides considerations for military interaction with governmental and nongovernmental agencies, multinational forces, and other interorganizational partners. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs), and prescribes joint doctrine for operations and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing and executing their plans and orders.

Application a. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the Joint Staff, commanders of combatant commands, subordinate unified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, the Services, and combat support agencies. b.

  • Cybernetics and Contingency, Codes and Programs: an Account of Social System Thinking in Law and Legal Theory Today
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Online Repository of Birkbeck Institutional Theses CYBERNETICS AND CONTINGENCY, CODES AND PROGRAMS: AN ACCOUNT OF SOCIAL SYSTEM THINKING IN LAW AND LEGAL THEORY TODAY GIULIA BRYSON DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (PHD) IN LAW 2018 LAW DEPARTMENT, BIRKBECK COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where explicit reference is made to the work of others. Giulia Bryson 2 ABSTRACT The thesis discusses aspects of current Social Systems Theory, with the main attention devoted both to the level of the compassing social system society and to that of function systems, especially law. Throughout, I refer to the version of social systems theory developed and presented as theory of social autopoiesis in Niklas Luhmann's mature work, while a lim- ited but important part of the thesis will explain this choice and serve as a comparative and genealogical guideline. Central will be the notion and idea of what Luhmann calls a Contingency Formula — term that both func- tions as a problem outline and that indicates how the problem can be solved, within the context of the Legal System. Equally centre-staged is the scientific, even the philosophical background the Contingency Formula is based upon. The reporting and explaining of this background, to which luhmannian Social System Theory is indebted in its initial inspirations as well as in its relentless efforts of ‘doing justice’ to every new empirical find- ing, involves, among others, elements of cybernetics, Boolean algebra, biology, and approaches to mathematics and topology - as well as of some pivotal concepts in philosophy (e.g.

  • The Promise of Circularity in Husserl's Phenomenological Investigations
    The Promise of Circularity in Husserl’s Phenomenological Investigations by Vedran Grahovac A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Vedran Grahovac, November, 2017 ABSTRACT The Promise of Circularity in Husserl’s Phenomenological Investigations Vedran Grahovac Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Andrew Bailey Co-Advisor: Jay Lampert I argue that Husserl’s phenomenological method is distinguished by the strategy of circularity. I trace this strategy in Husserl’s early writings on logic and in both his early and his later writings on time consciousness. I conclude with a brief examination of works by Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger through the lens of Husserl’s circular strategy. I suggest that circularity in Husserl’s phenomenology unfolds on two completing levels. The circularity on the first level describes terms in relation that are defined through their reference to each other: however, this relation between the two terms is not causal, for both terms remain self-enclosed. The second level of circularity indicates that the only possibility for the reciprocity or completion between two terms is through their self-encircling. The terms refer back and forth to each other precisely because they remain in a relational asymmetry. Husserl thus avoids a situation where he either fuses the terms in relation or prioritzes one over another. This is especially important for his re- articulation of the psychologistic – ideal-logical, whole – part, and now – just past polarities. This unusual sort of circular argumentation provides Husserl with an equally unusual methodology for challenging psychologism, empiricism, neo-kantianism, formal ontology and certain philosophies of time.
