Appropriate Concept (appropriate + concept)
Selected AbstractsPresidential Address: Do Financial Institutions Matter?THE JOURNAL OF FINANCE, Issue 4 2001Franklin Allen In standard asset pricing theory, investors are assumed to invest directly in financial markets. The role of financial institutions is ignored. The focus in corporate finance is on agency problems. How do you ensure that managers act in shareholders' interests? There is an inconsistency in assuming that when you give your money to a financial institution there is no agency problem, but when you give it to a firm there is. It is argued that both areas need to take proper account of the role of financial institutions and markets. Appropriate concepts for analyzing particular situations should be used. [source] Does safety science fulfill the requirements of modern technical systems?HUMAN FACTORS AND ERGONOMICS IN MANUFACTURING & SERVICE INDUSTRIES, Issue 3 2003Albert Kuhlmann Since the idea of safety science was first conceived, technical systems have grown larger and increasingly complex, thus causing a pronounced impact on the complexity of required safety analyses and risk calculations. The author emphasizes his point of view that the physical risk definition provides the most appropriate concept for engineers when it comes to planning including risk cadastres. In order to avoid human errors, he pleads for the consideration of human factors in the early design phase and for interdisciplinary cooperation. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

[source] The Concept of Law and Its ConceptionsRATIO JURIS, Issue 2 2006PETER KOLLER With this aim in view, I shall begin with a few remarks on concept formation and name a list of necessary requirements on an appropriate concept of law. On this basis, I intend to discuss a number of contemporary legal theories in view to their respective interpretations of the concept of law. Finally, I want to propose a definition of law that not only satisfies the requirements of the concept of law, but is also general enough to be compatible with both camps of legal thinking. [source] The Presumption of Innocence and the Human Rights ActTHE MODERN LAW REVIEW, Issue 3 2004Victor Tadros There has recently been a proliferation of case law dealing with potential inroads into the presumption of innocence in the criminal law of England and Wales, in the light of article 6(2) of the European Convention on Human Rights. This article is concerned with the nature of the presumption of innocence. It considers two central issues. The first is how the courts should address the question of when the presumption of innocence is interfered with. The second is the extent to which interference with the presumption of innocence may be justified on the grounds of proportionality. It is argued that the courts have not developed the appropriate concepts and principles properly to address these questions. [source] | ||||||||||
