Who Survived The Titanic? A Logistic Regression Analysis, Lonnie K. Stevans, David Gleicher
Who Survived The Titanic? A Logistic Regression Analysis, Lonnie K. Stevans, David Gleicher
Lonnie K. Stevans
A logistic regression analysis of an extensive data set on the Titanic passengers is presented which tests the likelihood that a Titanic passenger survived the accident--based upon passenger characteristics. The main finding is that underneath the strong overt preference afforded in the rescue by the authorities to women and children over men, there was a complex class determination of survival rates among men, on the one hand, and women and children, on the other. We hypothesize that the statistical interactions of gender and class are explained by two crucial decisions made by the ship’s authorities: 1. to encourage, and perhaps …
Natural Rights And Individual Sovereignty, Siegfried Van Duffel
Natural Rights And Individual Sovereignty, Siegfried Van Duffel
Siegfried Van Duffel
Can we have a moral right to do things that are immoral? Some people have said "Yes", but others have vehemently denied the same. This paper argues how such an idea could have developed out of a completely different one.
Libertarian Natural Rights, Siegfried Van Duffel
Libertarian Natural Rights, Siegfried Van Duffel
Siegfried Van Duffel
Libertarianism relies on a natural rights theory, which takes the idea of individual sovereignty as basic. The theory is flawed because it cannot ground an obligation for different sovereigns to respect each other's sovereignty.
Book Review: Subordinate And Marginal Groups In Early India, Edited By Aloka Parasher-Sen, Ananya Vajpeyi
Book Review: Subordinate And Marginal Groups In Early India, Edited By Aloka Parasher-Sen, Ananya Vajpeyi
Ananya Vajpeyi
Marginality and subordination have been important themes in India's human and social sciences for almost a hundred years. Aloka Parasher-Sen's edited volume is a useful intervention in the literature on caste in the "intermediate and immediate past" (p. 3). This is the long stretch of South Asian premodernity frequently ignored by historians, thanks to presentist commitments that tend to overwhelm their scholarship ideologically or lop-sided archival and linguistic skills that tend to constrain it intellectually. The politics of the discipline of history being what it is today, the ancient, colonial, and contemporary periods all receive disproportionate amounts of scholarly attention, …
Perspectives In Energy, Milan Meszaros
Perspectives In Energy, Milan Meszaros
Milan Meszaros physicist
Historically, the mankind produced the (electric) energy through the heat energy. After all, the humanity boil the water -by any production of energy- in the power plants for the production of electric energy. (As the AGLS sees, this is an archaic technology of our age.) During this production, the scattering of the heat energy (entropy) is a giant quantity. Opposite to this enormous heat-noise dissipation, the heat-emission does not occur in any emission-table. Thus the mankind possess a "heat-noise-blindness" concerning the harmful matter emission. But this heat emission is the mostly responsible for the global warming (including some regional ice-ages). …

Medieval Nominalism And The Literary Questions: Selected Studies, Richard Utz, Terry Barakat
Medieval Nominalism And The Literary Questions: Selected Studies, Richard Utz, Terry Barakat
Richard Utz
Like few other topics in the academic study of medieval literature, the search for the possible parallels between philosophical and literary texts reveals the not always peaceful coexistence among the three basic approaches to the study of medieval literature and culture: While hard-core medieval philologists would not accept any claims for a “literary nominalism” unless direct textual dependence can be demonstrated, scholars in medieval studies and the comparative study of medieval literature have shown themselves more accepting of investigations which diagnose a certain nominalistic Zeitgeist, mentality, or milieu especially in late medieval culture; and scholars preferring presentist/postmodern approaches have wholeheartedly …

Bandipora Redux: A Tale From Two Insurgencies, Ashok Agrwaal
Bandipora Redux: A Tale From Two Insurgencies, Ashok Agrwaal
Ashok Agrwaal
This artixcle is based upon my work on State impunity in the context of the guaranteed right to life, in Punjab and Kashmir. The Indian state has fought insurgencies almost throughout its independent history: from Nagaland to Punjab, Andhra Pradesh to Kashmir, from the early 1950s to date. Among the many different kinds of human rights violations that the Indian security forces have been charged with, is the recurring charge that they force local people to act as 'human shields' \with a view to minimising uniformed casualties. These reports have been denied by the authorities who routinely provide other reasons, …
The Utility Of Offshoring: A Rawlsian Critique, Julian Friedland
The Utility Of Offshoring: A Rawlsian Critique, Julian Friedland
Julian Friedland
Most prominent arguments favoring the widespread discretionary business practice of sending jobs overseas, known as ‘offshoring,’ attempt to justify the trend by appeal to utilitarian principles. It is argued that when business can be performed more cost-effectively offshore, doing so tends, over the long term, to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number. This claim is supported by evidence that exporting jobs actively promotes economic development overseas while simultaneously increasing the revenue of the exporting country. After showing that offshoring might indeed be justified on utilitarian grounds, I argue that according to Rawlsian social-contract theory, the practice is nevertheless …

Dynamic Semantic Web, Rudolf Kaehr
Dynamic Semantic Web, Rudolf Kaehr
Rudolf Kaehr
Dynamic Semantic Web (DSW) is based at first on the techniques, methods and paradigms of the emerging Semantic Web movement and its applications. DSW is advancing one fundamental step further from a static to a dynamic concept of the Semantic Web with extended flexibility in the navigation between ontologies and more profound transparency of the informational system. Web Services are now redefinded by Semantic Web. To proof the advantages of DSW, it is the main aim of this project to develop the tools and methods necessary to develop a DSW based Web Service (DSW business application). The existing framework of …

Peter Carruthers And Brute Experience; Descartes Revisited, Lisa M. Kretz Ph.D
Peter Carruthers And Brute Experience; Descartes Revisited, Lisa M. Kretz Ph.D
Lisa Kretz
Peter Carruthers argues in favour of the position that the pains of non-human animals are nonconscious ones, and from this that non-human animals are due no moral consideration.1 I outline Carruthers’ argument in Section II, and call attention to significant overlap between Carruthers’ standpoint regarding non-human animals and Rene Descartes’ position. In Section III I specify various ways Carruthers’ premises are undefended. I argue that we are either forced to take seriously an absurd notion of pain experience that fails to be adequately defended, or we are forced to accept an underlying problematic ideology Carruthers shares with Descartes that begs …
