    Violence and Maltreatment in Intimate Relationships

    No full text
    Violence and Maltreatment in Intimate Relationships provides current and complete coverage of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse that occurs within intimate relationships. Authors Cindy L. Miller-Perrin and Robin D. Perrin, co-authors of SAGE’s best-selling Family Violence Across the Life, Third Edition, have created a streamlined organizational framework in Violence and Maltreatment in Intimate Relationships which presents information to students in an accessible manner. In this new book, Miller-Perrin and Perrin have teamed up with renowned researcher Claire M. Renzetti, who draws on her extensive work on violence against women. The book offers both a sociological and psychological focus, examining traditional areas of interpersonal violence as well as forms of intimate abuse outside the family, and concludes with a call for appropriate social, legal, policy, and personal responses to address the problem of abuse in intimate relationships.https://digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/facultybooks/1008/thumbnail.jp

    Child Maltreatment: An Introduction

    No full text
    Child Maltreatment, Third Edition, by Cindy Miller-Perrin and Robin Perrin, is a thoroughly updated new edition of the first textbook for undergraduate students and beginning graduate students in this field. The text is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to child maltreatment by disseminating current knowledge about the various types of violence against children. By helping students understand more fully the etiology, prevalence, treatment, policy issues, and prevention of child maltreatment, the authors hope to further our understanding of how to treat child maltreatment victims and how to prevent future child maltreatment.https://digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/facultybooks/1050/thumbnail.jp

    ORDINARY REDUCTION OF SHARE CAPITAL OF STOCK CORPORATION AND LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

    No full text
    V magistrski nalogi obravnavam postopek rednega zmanjšanja osnovnega kapitala v delniški družbi (d. d.) in družbi z omejeno odgovornostjo (d. o. o.). Gre za enega najzahtevnejših postopkov v d. d. ali d. o. o., ker lahko prinaša velike posledice za delničarje oziroma družbenike, predvsem pa za upnike družbe. Ključni del zakonske ureditve zmanjšanja osnovnega kapitala je varstvo upnikov. Varstvo upnikov se zagotavlja s pravico zahtevati zavarovanje za nezapadle terjatve in prepovedjo izplačil delničarjem na podlagi zmanjšanja osnovnega kapitala, preden so upniki poplačani ali zavarovani. Upnikom je dana tudi možnost ugovora proti vpisu sklepa o zmanjšanju osnovnega kapitala v sodni register, če družba krši zakonska določila o varstvu upnikov. V nalogi izpostavljam določene dileme glede uveljavljanja pravic upnikov v praksi. V magistrski nalogi najprej predstavljam pojem osnovnega kapitala s poudarkom na načelu ohranitve osnovnega kapitala in pomenu osnovnega kapitala kot jamstvene mase upnikom družbe. V nadaljevanju obravnavam postopek rednega zmanjšanja osnovnega kapitala po postopkovnih korakih, posebno poglavje pa namenjam varstvu upnikov. Vključujem tudi primerjavo z nemško ureditvijo, ki je zelo podobna slovenski.This thesis deals with ordinary reduction of share capital in stock corporation and limited liability company. Resolution for the reduction of share capital is amongst the most complex resolutions, adopted by general meeting of shareholders, which can bear great risks for shareholders and especially for creditors. Therefore, the protection of creditors is the essential part of the regulation on capital reduction. Creditors are protected by the right to demand securities for their claims and prohibition of repaying the shareholders the shared capital before the creditors have been given securities or their claims have been paid. Creditors can also contest the registration of the resolution for the reduction of share capital, if the company violates the provisions for their protection. In regard to these creditors’ rights the author points out some uncertainties that exist in Slovenian law when it comes to practical application. The thesis begins by introducing the term of share capital with focus on its preservation and meaning of share capital as a fond for creditors. Further on the author deals with procedure for the reduction of share capital and protection of creditors in respective chapters. The thesis also includes a brief comparative view to German legal system in regard to the matter of the thesis

    Cervico-thoracic kyphosis in a girl with Pierre Robin sequence

    No full text
    Congenital cervico-thoracic kyphosis has been encountered in a girl with Pierre Robin sequence. The constellation of the spine malformation complex such as incomplete development of the vertebral bodies associated with defective ossification of the cervico-thoracic pedicles causing effectively the development of complete spinal cord injury at the kyphotic level of C7/T1 were present. Congenital kyphosis secondary to vertebral body hypoplasia has not been reported in connection with Pierre Robin sequence

    The Robin problem for the Helmholtz equation in a starlike planar domain

    No full text
    The interior and exterior Robin problems for the Helmholtz equation in starlike planar domains are addressed by using a suitable Fourier-like technique. Attention is in particular focused on normal-polar domains whose boundaries are defined by the so-called “superformula” introduced by J. Gielis. A dedicated numerical procedure based on the computer algebra system Mathematica© is developed in order to validate the proposed approach. In this way, highly accurate approximations of the solution, featuring properties similar to the classical ones, are obtained. The computed results are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical findings on Fourier series expansion presented by L. Carleson.TelecommunicationsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    RoMEO Studies 6: Rights metadata for open-archiving

    No full text
    This is the final study in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving) which investigated the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues relating to academic author self-archiving of research papers. It reports the results of a survey of 542 academic authors showing the level of protection required for their open-access research papers. It then describes the selection of an appropriate means of expressing those rights through metadata and the resulting choice of Creative Commons licences. Finally it outlines proposals for communicating rights metadata via the Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)

    Spherical Harmonic Solution of the Robin Problem for the Helmholtz Equation in a Supershaped Shell

    No full text
    The Robin problem for the Helmholtz equation in normal-polar shells is addressed by using a suitable spherical har-monic expansion technique. Attention is in particular focused on the wide class of domains whose boundaries are de-fined by a generalized version of the so-called “superformula” introduced by Gielis. A dedicated numerical procedure based on the computer algebra system Mathematica© is developed in order to validate the proposed methodology. In this way, highly accurate approximations of the solution, featuring properties similar to the classical ones, are obtainedMicroelectronicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    Oxygénation par lunettes nasales et effets sur la FiO2 et la gazométrie artérielle chez le chien sain

    No full text
    L oxygène est le médicament le plus utilisé dans les unités d urgences et soins intensifs. De nombreuses techniques d administration servent régulièrement a administrer de l O2 aux patients critiques, cependant, peu d informations sont disponibles concernant la relation entre la FiO2 et les débits chez le chien. Le but de cette étude est la détermination de la relation entre la FiO2, la gazométrie artérielle et les débits d O2 utilisés par lunettes nasales chez le chien sain. L augmentation du rapport PaO2/FiO2 observée après 10 minutes d oxygénation peut en partie être expliquée par une modification de l équilibre V/Q. Les lunettes nasales semblent être une méthode efficace d oxygénation chez le chien et un débit de 2L/10kg/min est optimal. Puisqu aucune dilution de l EtCO2 n a été observée, les valeurs obtenues par le monitoring continu doivent être fiables.TOULOUSE-EN Vétérinaire (315552301) / SudocSudocFranceF
