Communication Rights, Digital Literacy And Ethical Individualism In The New Media Environment, Brian O'Neill
Communication Rights, Digital Literacy And Ethical Individualism In The New Media Environment, Brian O'Neill
Conference Papers
Recent developments in European media policy have given priority to the notion that all citizens need to be digitally literate to fully participate in the emerging Information Society. Media literacy or digital literacy, it is argued, will be required to able to exercise informed choices, understand the nature of content and services and take advantage of the full range of opportunities offered by new communications technologies. Further, being media literate, citizens will be better able to protect themselves and their families from harmful or offensive material. The inclusion of media literacy within the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (Commission of the …

Dairy foods and ingredients have a natural advantage over new/novel foods, from a regulatory viewpoint, because they are generally considered as “traditional” foods, that is, there is a long history of human consumption. However, the regulatory landscape on adding bioactive ingredients, whether from dairy streams or from non-dairy sources, into dairy foods is rapidly evolving, and the dairy industry will need to be aware of potential regulatory challenges, within the countries they wish to market their products.

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
Equilibrium determines leverage, not just interest rates. Variations in leverage cause fluctuations in asset prices. This leverage cycle can be damaging to the economy, and should be regulated.

College of Law - Faculty Scholarship
This article evaluates an environmental protection instrument that the literature has hitherto largely overlooked, Dirty Input Limits (DILs), quantitative limits on the inputs that cause pollution. DILs provide an alternative to cumbersome output-based emissions trading and performance standards. DILs have played a role in some of the world's most prominent environmental success stories. They have also begun to influence climate change policy, because of the impossibility of imposing an output-based cap on transport emissions. We evaluate DILs' administrative advantages, efficiency, dynamic properties, and capacity to better integrate environmental protection efforts. DILs, we show, not only have significant advantages that make …

In this paper, we briefly review the physiological and biophysical characteristics of the hands and feet, and their association with autonomic (physiological) and behavioural temperature regulation, and with thermal injury. A comprehensive review of this topic is not currently available within the literature. The temperatures of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, particularly those of the hands and feet, vary significantly as air temperatures move away from the thermal comfort zone. Mean skin temperature increases approximately 0.7oC for each 1oC elevation in air temperature, with smaller changes at the hands (0.46o.oC-1) and slightly larger changes at the feet (0.8o.oC-1: Bedford, 1936). …
