Fundamentals of Corporate Finance

This material is an introduction to corporate finance. We will discuss the various responsibilities of the corporation’s financial managers and show you how to tackle many of the problems that these managers are expected to solve. We begin with a discussion of the corporation, the financial decisions it needs to make, and why they are important. To survive and prosper, a company must sat…

Land & Development in Latin America

The quest to eradicate poverty has, for some time, been at the forefront of the policies, programs and operations of development agencies. Poverty eradication has also been the subject of considerable research by academics and policy analysts. At the extraordinary Summit convened by the UN in September 2000, the international community agreed to work together to reduce the incidence of ext…

Creative Entrepreneurship

We might describe our world as having retail sanity, but wholesale madness. Details are well understood; the big picture remains unclear. A fundamental challenge—in business as in life—is to integrate the micro and macro such that all things make sense. Humanities majors may well learn a great deal about the world. But they don’t really learn career skills through their studies. Engi…

THE NEW POLITICAL ECONOMY OF URBAN EDUCATION

The city has emerged in recent years as an indispensable concept for many of the struggles for social justice we are all engaged in—it’s a place where theory meets practice, where the neighborhood organizes against global capitalism, where unequal divisions based on race and class can be mapped out block by block and contested, where the micropolitics of gender and sexual orientation are su…

Variegated Neoliberalism

The 2007–09 financial crisis has once again put finance back on the agenda. This book examines financial systems and – albeit indirectly – argues that the crisis is the logical outcome of neoliberal capitalism. The main objective of this study then is to demystify the process (or processes) of neoliberalization. More concretely it focuses on the European case study where historically aver…

Experimental Ethics

Academic philosophy has experienced a major upheaval in the last decade. Venturous young philosophers, psychologists, and economists have begun to challenge the traditional stance that philosophy is an undertaking best pursued from the safety and calm of an arm-chair. Instead, they took the gloves off and tried to bring philosophical ques- tions to the experimental laboratory. To date, more th…

Managing Risk and Information Security

Given that security breaches and intrusions continue to be reported daily across organizations of every size, is information security really effective? Given the rapid evolution of new technologies and uses, does the information security group even need to exist? Obviously, this is a somewhat rhetorical question. I cannot imagine that any sizeable organization would operate well without an info…

CAPITALISM AND FREEDOM

ITIS WIDELY BELIEVED that politics and economics are separate and largely unconnected; that individual freedom is a political problem and material welfare an economic problem; and that any kind of political arrangements can be combined with any kind of economic arrangements. The chief contemporary man- ifestation of this idea is the advocacy of "democratic socialism" by many who condemn out of …

From Oikonomia to Political Economy

How did Western economic learning come to claim status as a separate discipline? When – and how – did it begin to define and organize its own field of specialization, vocabulary, areas of interest and methods of study? What kind of methodological problems were raised by the attempt to make economic knowledge a real science? What ties were there between the study of production, exchange and …

Leaves from the tree of life

To know and cooperate with the laws of health in order to retain, or regain, health is most important. The study of disease takes a secondary place to the study of the laws of life. To know how to employ every rational means at our disposal in order to avert sickness should be our constant study and goal. Life’s activities are centered in the home. Parents should be an example of good h…

Markets, Money and Capital

One important premise of Hicks’s theoretical framework is the distinction between the structure of reality and the purpose-oriented arrangement of human actions. There are reasons to believe that, at an early stage of his development as an economist, Hicks came across the distinction between an ‘order of being’ and an ‘order of doing,’ as discussed by Maffeo Pantaleoni (Pantaleoni, 19…

Mathematical Modeling and Optimization of Complex Structures

A Fluid-Structure Interaction model is studied for aortic flow, based on Koiter’s shell model for the structure, Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid and transpiration for the coupling. It accounts for wall deformation while yet working on a fixed geometry. The model is established first. Then a numerical approximation is proposed and some tests are given. The model is also used for optima…

THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES IN DEMENTIA

One approach to answering this question and perhaps the most conventional in an ‘evidence-based medicine’ medical culture is by conducting meta-analyses. In terms of ‘level of evidence’, the meta-analysis is considered strongest [1]. However, whilst achieving much statistically by aggregating trials and synthesizing data to achieve greater precision of outcome estimates, the meta-analy…
