Understanding Prophylactic Remedies Through The Looking Glass Of Bush V. Gore, Tracy A. Thomas

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

Using the context of Bush v. Gore as a vehicle for discussion, Professor Thomas examines the use and legitimacy of prophylactic remedies. In this Article, Professor Thomas advances the argument that the broad prophylactic remedy provided by the U.S. Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore may be viewed as contrary to the law of remedies in that it operated to negate, rather than enforce, legal rights. In particular, prophylactic remedies which are untailored and unachievable, as in Bush v. Gore, threaten the legitimacy of prophylaxis. Professor Thomas argues that the use of prophylactic remedies itself is not problematic, but concludes …

The Living Commerce Clause: Federalism In Progressive Political Theory And The Commerce Clause After Lopez And Morrison, Eric R. Claeys

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

"Living Constitution " ideas are most often associated with individual-rights guarantees like equal protection and due process, but they were originally developed in the early twentieth century to revolutionize the law of the structural Constitution - including the Commerce Clause. In this Article, Professor Claeys interprets Progressive political theory, which played a crucial role in legitimating the expansion of the national government. As applied to federalism, Progressive living-Constitution theory required that the Commerce Clause be interpreted as a constitutional transmitter letting the national government regulate whatever the American people deem to be a national problem. He suggests that this notion …

Roles And Regulation Of Nf-Κb In Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Transformed Cells, Takeshi Shimamura

Dissertations

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is overexpressed in various cancer cells and the overexpression may be correlated with the prognosis of several types of cancers. Binding of PDGF to its receptors induces receptor dimerization and subsequent autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the receptor’s cytoplasmic domains. The phosphorylated tyrosine residues interact with the secondary signaling molecules to initiate signaling cascades that trigger cellular changes by affecting downstream effectors. In our recent publication, we have shown that a NF-κB mediates the transformation of mouse fibroblast cells overexpressing PDGF B chain. Though there is a significant correlation between PDGF stimulation and NF-κB activity, it …

Blending Business And It Strategy : A Conceptual Model, R Ramaswamy

IIMB Management Review

In this new age of the knowledge-based economy, the search for a more dynamic and sustainable competitive advantage has led to many organisations investing substantially in IT–based tools and solutions. But in most cases these investments have not been justified by the returns. The main reason for this is the disjointed manner of framing business and IT strategies leading to the segregation of the people, process, and technology aspects of management. Moreover, the benefits are marginal if carried out over existing strategies, structures, and processes. To derive the real benefits of investments in IT and paradigms of transformation in the …

Ethics For Business : Drawing On Indian Values, S K Chakraborty

IIMB Management Review

Prof S K Chakraborty of the Management Centre for Human Values, IIM Calcutta, and author of the Management Ethics Omnibus, shares the essence of his enquiry into the field for over two decades. To the basic question from students and managers as to what there is in ethics for them, teachers must communicate that ethics has fundamental existential payoffs. Especially in today’s fast-paced world, where patience is no longer a virtue and ‘false gospels’ such as rank ordering and corporate gladiatorism are being embraced in toto by the Indian intellectual elite, without pausing to reflect on their own tradition and …

How Indian Students See Ethics And Society : A Survey, Rishikesha T Krishnan, C Manohar Reddy

IIMB Management Review

In an effort to have a more empirically grounded picture of the values and beliefs of their students, Profs Rishikesha T Krishnan and C Manohar Reddy of IIM Bangalore collaborated on a survey of 321 IIMB Post Graduate Programme students, divided across the first year and second years; and 51 students of a private management institution, for comparative purposes. The survey was based on an instrument developed by the authors consisting of 37 items on ‘Perceptions and Attitudes about Business, Society and Ethics’ and 17 items on ‘Religious and Spiritual Beliefs’. The findings revealed that overall, IIMB students were idealistic …

Exploring Ethical Dimensions Through Fiction, Abha Chatterjee

IIMB Management Review

Based on her experience with students of science and engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Prof Abha Chatterjee provides a case study for exploring the dimensions of ethics through fiction. While literature can be an instrument in raising a variety of ethical values and themes, its advantage lies in that it deals with the concrete and the particular and readers can learn from it without the intense emotional upheavals that accompany such dilemmas in everyday life. Muktadhara, a play by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore was selected as a case study as it evokes problems which engineers would identify …

Business And Ethics, Narender Dhand

IIMB Management Review

Short cuts in earning wealth and a preoccupation with business growth to the neglect of other elements, inevitably spell grief, so believes Narender Dhand, Founder, Chairman and MD of Micromatic Grinding Technologies, a company which began as a ‘modest tool room’ and now occupies a dominant position in the Indian machine tool industry. Before dealing with ‘external’ ethics, Dhand believes in putting his own house in order. At the foundation of the core values of MGT is the commitment to ethical business practices with a people focus. The MGT culture is operationalised in their scrupulously honest dealings with the authorities, …

Tackling Corruption And Promoting Accountability, Jayaprakash Narayan

IIMB Management Review

Ethics in public life in India has to take cognisance of the issues of corruption, lack of transparency and accountability. Dr Jayaprakash Narayan, National Coordinator of the Lok Satta movement holds that enlightened public opinion and informed and collective citizen assertion are the basis of a successful fight against corruption. The specific strategies he suggests are: comprehensive electoral reforms to make election funding transparent and accountable, to curb criminalisation and polling irregularities, and to ensure that honesty and survival in public office are compatible; empowerment of local governments and stakeholders in a way that there are clear links between citizens’ …

Entrepreneurship: The Social Science View Edited By Richard Swedberg, Oxford University Press, 2000, Pp 403. Price: Rs 545, Puneet Arora

IIMB Management Review

Entrepreneurship: A Social Science View explores entrepreneurship through social, cultural, organizational, and economic perspectives. The essays challenge the belief that entrepreneurship flourishes only under favorable conditions, with Gerschenkron’s theory of substitution showing how societies can compensate for missing elements. Rose Kanter highlights the role of organizational culture in fostering innovation through idea generation, support, implementation, and diffusion. Ronald Burt emphasizes social capital and networks as valuable entrepreneurial resources. Other contributors examine culture, ethnicity, industrial networks, market timing, and public policy. Overall, the book demonstrates that entrepreneurship is deeply influenced by social structures and relationships, making it a rich interdisciplinary field.

Physics

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) employs low-temperature Ge and Si detectors to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their elastic-scattering interactions with nuclei while discriminating against interactions of background particles. For recoil energies above 10 keV, events due to background photons are rejected with >99.9% efficiency, and surface events are rejected with >95% efficiency. The estimate of the background due to neutrons is based primarily on the observation of multiple-scatter events that should all be neutrons. Data selection is determined primarily by examining calibration data and vetoed events. Resulting efficiencies should be accurate to ∼10%. Results of …

“Private” Crime In Public Housing: Violent Victimization, Fear Of Crime And Social Isolation Among Women Public Housing Residents, Claire M. Renzetti, Shana L. Maier

CRVAW Faculty Journal Articles

Although public housing is typically associated with high crime rates, little research has been done on fear of crime or violent victimization experiences among public housing residents. Moreover, there are few studies that look specifically at women’s fear of crime or violent victimization experiences in public housing, despite the fact that women constitute the majority of public housing residents. These issues were examined in the present study through interviews with female public housing residents in Camden, New Jersey (NJ). The interviews reveal high rates of violent victimization, especially at the hands of intimates and acquaintances. Fear of crime is also …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Good morning. It's a pleasure to be here. I am an admirer and grateful user of a number of documentary editions produced by people in this room. On a small scale, as an editor of a scholarly edition of Ridolfi's The Life of Titian, I experienced the rigors and rewards of your special kind of academic labor. The work is painstaking, repetitive, sometimes tedious. For many editions, scholars must invest decades in close reading, collaborative research, and careful transcription.

But your work has permanence and resonance. It is significant that some scholarly editions are published on paper meant to last …
