    Get PDF
    Dutch cooperative association 'Laatste Wil' (Last Will) aims to provide information on a deadly but allegedly painless substance to her members seeking a peaceful end to their unbearable and insufferable lives. According to the author, this gives rise to questions about whether the aim and the activities of the association are contrary and a jeopardy to the public order as set out in section 2:20, first and second paragraph of the Dutch Civil Code, as the protection of life is one of the fundamental principles safeguarded by Dutch law

    Landscape, both the actual and the representational, is a work of the mind (Schama, 1995, p. 7) it encompasses ideas of difference, arcadia, commodification, nationalism and many others. How does one negotiate the physical and the representational when trying to reach beyond the traditions of the sublime? Anchoring my research in the physical landscape of Kings Park, Perth, Australia whilst looking at looking this paper explores the manifestation of ideas about land in both forms. Central to my research approach is W.J.T. Mitchell\u27s theses on landscape number eight, which states: landscape is an exhausted medium, no longer viable as a mode of artistic expression (1994, p. 5). Countered immediately by his next, tongue in cheek, sentence: like life, landscape is boring; we must not say so (1994, p. 5). I agree, and this written and visual investigation explores the possibility of rupture to the accepted and traditional Western forms for landscape as a means of creating new conceptualisations. The Australian landscape genre\u27s seminal nature in articulating and circulating national character and identity is central to the need to reapproach it as a valid form for interrogation. This paper examines the place for oppositional voices through the medium to the prevailing nationalistic rhetoric and uses the actual landscape of Kings Park as a physical and represented site to investigate the manifestations of such

    Changing choices psychological relativity theory unifying theory transformation parameters psychology psygologie koornstra choice dynamics The book contains a unifying theory on how the common object space is metrically transformed by individuals with different transformation parameters, due to their other previous experiences, to individually different psychological spaces for judgment on the one hand and preference on the other hand. Individual experiences also change generally, whereby the psychological spaces also change generally for each individual. The theory, therefore, is a psychological relativity theory of perception, judgment, preference, and choice dynamics. This book is a must read for all behavioural, economic, and social scientists with theoretical interest and some understanding of multidimensional data analyses. It integrates more than twenty theories on perception, judgment, preference, and risk decisions into one mathematical theory. Knowledge of advanced mathematics and modern geometry is not needed, because the mathematical subsections can be skipped without loss of understanding, due to their explanation and illustration by figures in the text
