End of Life Care Act and “Right to die” : On the recent debate in France
Get PDFapplication/pdf論文(Article)End-of-life issues such as decisions to withdraw or reduce active treatment, palliative care, the role of the family in end-of-life care and demand for euthanasia are becoming more critical today than ever before, according as medical progress increasingly prolongs the life expectancy of the seriously ill. In France, the Act of 2005 on Patientsʼ Rights and End of Life Care, known as the “Leonetti Act”, introduced several new measures. Nevertheless, the legal provisions are still not always fully known :end-of-life decisions are not always discussed with the patients and medical teams, plus very few patients draw up advance directives, as recommended in the Leonetti Act, and which the Vincent Lambert case is the first court referring to. Legalising “right to die” such as terminal sedation, assisted suicide, euthanasia remains a extremely controversial topic in the social and political arena, as seen since the 2012 presidential election -Rapport Sicard -Avis of CCNE and until now. This study focuses on the recent debate on end-of-life care and right to die in France. Also it looks at how the debates delved.departmental bulletin pape

The Value of a Summer Intensive English Communication Course
Get PDFapplication/pdf論文(Article)This study investigated the value of a summer intensive English communication course. The three-week course was completed by 29 adult Japanese learners of English at the Fukuoka Institute of Technology. Communicative language teaching was provided every weekday to learners who were assigned to three levels : beginner, intermediate, and advanced. A statistical comparison of pre-and post-tests scores on the CASEC English proficiency test indicated no significant differences in scores as a result of the course. However, a thematic analysis of the learners’ overwhelmingly positive responses to the course’s exit-questionnaire made it evident that students believed that the intensive course had been quite beneficial in the development of their English communicative abilities.departmental bulletin pape

Directors’liability to third party in case of violation of laws : A series of cases to defendant directors of famous moneylender
Get PDFapplication/pdf論文(Article)A famous moneylender had been lending money partly in a illegal interest rate. However at that time, provisions of “Payment regarded as interest” (interest“voluntarily” paid by the borrower is valid despite illegal rate)existed. After the moneylender had bankrupted, the borrowers sued the directors of the moneylender according to the Companies Act 429. Most judgements said that defendant directors had continued moneylending contracts to which provisions of “Payment regarded as interest” had not applied, in a illegal rate. However,the judgements denied the directors’liabilities, on the ground that “the directors are not burdened with duty of recalculation”. This article reconsiders appropriateness of the judgements on the basis of famous judgements of the Supreme Court and the common theories of Company Law.departmental bulletin pape
On the Distribution of Complementizer
Get PDFapplication/pdf論文(Article)This paper is concerned with cross-linguistic variation and diachronic change of (null-) complementizers in the embedded clauses, deriving the distributional properties from interaction among universal constraints in Optimality Theory (OT) that we will be proposing below and their hierarchy. One constraint is the constraint HEAD that requires overt elements in the head position. Another constraint is the constraint PARSE concerning parsing. The other constraint is the constraint MOVE that requires economy of movement. English had the constraint hierarchy HEAD≫PARSE≫MOVE prior to the late 16th century, but resulted in the constraint hierarchy PARSE≫MOVE≫HEAD in the period by virtue of constraint demotion of HEAD to the lowest stratum. A causal relationship between the beginning of introduction of null-that in the embedded clauses and the demise of doubly-filled COMP and the sequences of that-trace is explained as a consequence of this reranking. The constraint hierarchy HEAD≫PARSE≫MOVE is held in variants of English and the Germanic languages except Standard English and High German (Standard German), and thus doubly-filled COMP and that-trace effect are allowed in these languages.departmental bulletin pape
Case Study: Real subrogation based preferential rights over movable : Efficiency on damage insurance
Get PDFapplication/pdf論文(Article)This paper reviews the judgment of the Supreme Court dated December 2,2010. On this case, the plaintiff’s fishes on which real subrogation based preferential rights over movables had set, died on account of red tide and the plaintiff received damage insurance. The plaintiff claimed that the security interest has no effect on insurance. The Supreme Court described that “Real subrogation based preferential rights over movables is effective on damage insurance. But, the mortgagee can not exercise that right as long as mortgagor continues normal business”. This paper reveals the meaning and positioning of this decision, taking into account the common belief, other popular theories, and other decisions.departmental bulletin pape
