ON COMPARATIVE LAW STUDIES IN THE FIELD OF PRIVATE (CIVIL) LAW
Authors: Семилютина Наталья , Semilyutina Natalya
Published: December 2015

The article analyses the origins of comparative civil law studies in Russia starting from the reforms of tsar Peter I. The author understands comparative civil law as a branch of legal science that makes comparative law studies applying the civil law methodology. The civil law methodology is applied by a researcher who studies legal relationship between the parties which are in equal legal position. The analysis of legal rules of various countries, regulating of alike legal relationship in different countries affords to find the best way to regulate the corresponding relationship. The purposes of comparative analysis varied in various periods of the development of Russia. The role of the Institute and the comparative law studies related to civil law are also the subject of the present article. Within the article the author pays attention to tendencies in the foreign civil law regulation such as extraterritorial application of the rules of law, or the effect of the public interest presence.

LEGAL STATUS OF MANAGEMENT BODIES IN SHARE HOLDING COMPANIES IN FRANCE AND IN RUSSIA
Authors: Терновая Ольга , Tyernovaya Olga
Published: December 2015

The article reviews legal nature of joint stock companies’ corporate bodies in accordance with the French and Russian legislations. Despite the influence of Anglo-American approaches on the formation of the Russian corporate legislation, the author proposes to more actively take into account the positive experience of countries with the continental law as they are closer to the Russian juridical reality. In this context the author pays special attention to the French legislation on joint stock companies. The author notes two most powerful trends in the evolution of the French corporate legislation: on the one hand, these are major changes in the substantive legal framework for governance and relations between the participants and the company, and on the other hand — important changes in legal regulation over governance and relations between the company participants. Comparison of certain issues in the legal nature of joint stock companies’ corporate bodies (boards) in Russia and France allows making the conclusion that the French legislation regulates in more detail such topical issues as peculiarities of the joint stock companies’ governance models, powers of a sole executive body, basis for civil responsibility of persons who are part of corporate bodies of a joint stock company.
HISTORY OF CRIMINAL LEGISLATION DEVELOPMENT IN SLOVAKIA
Authors: Лазарева Наталья , Lazareva Natalya
Published: December 2015

The subject of this research is criminal legislation of the Slovak Republic since the merge of Slovakia in the AustroHungarian Empire (XIX century) to the present day. The article analyzes the emergency criminal legislation of the World War II period, the socialist Criminal Codes of the Czechoslovak Republic (1950, 1961) and the existing Criminal Code of the Slovak Republic of 2005. The article also touches upon the country’s constitutional development on the example of the adopted Constitutions of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (1948, 1960) and the Constitution of the Slovak Republic (1992). The author pays special attention to the integration of Slovakia into the European legal framework when it became a member of the European Union in 2004. The article also contains comparative analysis of the main institutions of the criminal law in Russia and Slovakia. During the research the author used the following special methods: historical, logical, and comparative law method, which includes a variety of techniques (doctrinal, regulatory, functional comparison). As opposed to the criminal law of other European Union countries, the Slovak criminal law has remained practically unexplored by the Russian criminal law doctrine. But it is very unique because it comprises the combination of Austrian, German and Russian criminal law ideas which is conditioned by historical peculiarities of this state’s development. On the example of Slovakia, the author demonstrates possibility of combining the national legal legacy and directives of the European Union.
Identifying, treating and preventing leg ulceration—a holistic approach
Authors: Nazarko Linda
Published: December 2015

In the past, healthcare often focused on a single patient problem. This approach often did patients a disservice, because it did not deliver improvements in patient wellbeing. A person could develop a problem and have this treated, but if the underlying factors that caused a problem to occur are not addressed then the risks of recurrence are high. This article aims to enable readers to understand why an individual can develop a leg ulcer, how to recognise and treat venous leg ulcers and how to work with the individual to reduce risks of recurrence.
Reflecting on a critical incident within the workplace
Authors: Perugia Louise
Published: December 2015

Reflection is a vital aspect of any healthcare worker's routine. Reflecting effectively and using it to identify future learning needs takes time and practice. Using Mezirow's Transformational Learning Theory (1991) and Berlo's Model of Communication (1994) as a structure can ensure this is consistent and successful. Reflection is particularly important when dealing with critical incidents in the workplace; this model can be used as the basis for discussion and evaluation and to identify future learning opportunities.

Published: December 2015

Managing tracheostomy tubes is an intensive process, but it is vital for the nurse to develop proficiency in this procedure. The successful outcome of these patients is largely dependent on the care that is provided by the veterinary nurse. While these patients are typically difficult, intensive, and messy at best, the hard work can be rewarding if these patients are properly cared for.
HOSPITALIDADE DOMÉSTICA E COMERCIAL: DESDOBRAMENTOS E APROPRIAÇÕES EM FAZENDAS HISTÓRICAS RURAIS
Authors: De Carvalho Alissandra Nazareth
Published: December 2015

O presente estudo discute a temática da hospitalidade, tal como se apresenta em suas relações de bem-receber e também em seus aspectos simbólicos. Tem por finalidade analisar a produção de um espaço propício à expressão da hospitalidade em Fazendas Históricas Paulistas, que se apropriam de símbolos presentes no ambiente doméstico rural para trabalhar o turismo rural, ressignificando a produção e as relações sociais. Para a realização de tal análise foi utilizado o método lefebvriano, que previu três momentos de investigação: o descritivo, o analítico-regressivo e o histórico-genético. Como resultado o presente estudo descreveu empreendimentos inseridos em um contexto padronizado e comercial, constituintes de uma associação que impõe vários requisitos em termos de comportamento e gestão e, ao mesmo tempo, ainda se apresentam resilientes em termos da manutenção da tradição, da história e das reminiscências do passado. Foi possível constatar que, em se tratando das fazendas analisadas, destacam-se a importância da noção simbólica da hospitalidade, as suas trocas sociais e o equilíbrio entre o paradoxo do doméstico versus comercial. Ademais, observaram-se a interpretação de valores e as apropriações que ressignificam a dinâmica mercadológica dessas fazendas, cujo turismo se apresenta como veículo que proporciona essas vivências culturais de solidariedade e de afetividade. Palavras-chave: Fazendas Históricas. Hospitalidade. Turismo Rural.

Assessment of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning style among undergraduate nursing students
Authors: Hussein Ibrahim Radhwan , Hussein Dhiaa Al-rahman
Published: December 2015

Background: Learning styles refer to the ability of learner to perceive and process information in learning situations. The ability to understand students’ learning styles can increase the educational outcomes. VAK (Visual, auditory, kinesthetic) learning style is one of the learning style in which students use three of sensory perception to receive information. Teachers can incorporate these learning styles in their classroom activities so that students are competent to be successful in their courses. The purpose of this study is to assess Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic learning style among undergraduate nursing students.

Methods: A descriptive study was carried out; the study was conducted during the period of 3rd. November, 2013-15, March, 2014, in two Nursing Colleges at Universities of Mosul and Kirkuk. A stratified random sampling was used for data collection. The target population was an undergraduate nursing students (210) students (60 male and 150 female). Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS), Chi-square, Frequencies and Percentage was used for data analysis.

The results: the findings reveal that Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic learning style of the study sample was (40.0%), (29.5%), and 30.5% respectively. Females preferred auditory learning style (30.3%) more than males (27.3%), while males preferred kinesthetic learning style (32.3%) more than females (29.8%).

Recommendation: The researcher recommended that nurse educators should aware of learning styles of the students and provide teaching style to be matched with their learning style.
Media, ideological hegemony and popular music: Golden microphone song contest
Medya, ideolojik hegemonya ve popüler müzik: Altın mikrofon şarkı yarışması
Authors: Ergun Levent
Published: December 2015

This article focuses on "Golden Microphone Award" song contest which has been organized under the sponsorship of Hürriyet Daily News between the years of 1965-68. Between the different forms of popular culture/music and mass media, there is a characteristically symbiotic relationship in which one almost can not survive in the absence of the other. Golden Microphone song contest, organized under the sponsorship of the mass media institution, Hürriyet Daily News, requires an evaluation in a scope that exceeds this symbiotic relationship. Because the role that Hürriyet plays in the circulation and the support of the dominant ideological definitions and representations is more important here. If we consider Golden Microphone contest as a moment,we can say that: there is a dynamic arena for the media, official ideology, musicians and audience in which both the elements of resistance and consent, the issues of the past and the future; hence overlapping and conflicting elements are available. In this framework, this research tries to analyse the dynamics of this specific moment of Turkish popular music history by using the theoretical status of media, sponsorship, ideology and hegemony concepts.  

 

Özet

Bu makale, Hürriyet Gazetesi’nin sponsorluğunda 1965-68 yılları arasında düzenlenen “Altın Mikrofon Armağanı” adlı şarkı yarışması üzerine odaklanır. Popüler kültürün/müziğin farklı formları ile kitle iletişim araçları arasında, diğeri olmadan birisinin hayatını neredeyse sürdüremez olduğu karakteristik bir simbiyotik ilişki vardır. Bir kitle medyası olarak Hürriyet Gazetesinin sponsorluğunda düzenlenen “Altın Mikrofon” şarkı yarışması, bu simbiyotik ilişkiyi aşan bir çerçeve içinde değerlendirmeyi de gerektirmektedir. Çünkü Hürriyet’in egemen ideolojik tanımlar ve temsillerin dolaşımı ve pekiştirilmesinde oynadığı rol, burada çok daha önemlidir. Altın Mikrofon yarışmasını bir uğrak (moment) olarak ele alırsak şunu söyleyebiliriz: bu uğrakta gerek medya, gerek resmi ideoloji, gerekse müzisyenler ve izlerkitle için; hem direniş hem kabullenme ögeleri, hem geçmişin ve geleceğin unsurları, dolayısıyla hem birbiriyle örtüşen hem de çatışan ögelerin olduğu dinamik bir mücadele alanı bulunmaktadır. Bu çerçevede çalışma; medya, sponsorluk, ideoloji ve hegemonya kavramlarının teorik statüsünden yararlanarak, Türk popüler müzik tarihinin bu özgül uğrağını biçimlendiren dinamikleri analiz etme girişimidir.
„Poślubię kardynała…” – małżeństwo Armanda księcia Conti i Anny Marii Martinozzi
Authors: Skrzypietz Aleksandra
Published: December 2015

Armand de Bourbon, Prince of Conti, was a younger brother of the Grand Condé. Destined for a church career, he gave it up and became politically associated with brother and sister – the famed intriguer Anna Genevieve, Duchess of Longue¬ville. Desiring to be regarded as a person unconstrained by moral principles, he led a very indulgent lifestyle. For a period of time, he was also Moliere’s patron. Armand wanted to equal his brother in renown, though he lacked the talent. For some time, he was considered the leader of the Fronde in Paris. He was imprisoned together with his brother and brother-in-law, then sought agreement with the court. His influences were to be boosted by marriage, first with the daughter of duchess de Chevreuse, then with the niece of Cardinal Mazarin – Anna Maria Martinozzi, which indeed took place. The marriage of a relative with a prince of the blood strengthened the position of the cardinal, while prince of Conti gained a way for final conciliation with the court. In the later years, Armand was a commander in Spain and held various court offices; he also changed his lifestyle utterly, having associated himself with the Jansenists. Armand died young, leaving two sons, the younger of which became a candidate for the Polish throne in 1697. His biography, in particular the issues relating to the marriage, are an interesting example of court intrigues and a game whose purpose was to consolidate the position of both Cardinal Mazarin and the royal cousin. The conduct of prince of Conti is also a vivid example of the mores of aristocracy in 17th-century France.

Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary Clays from Spainand New Zealand: Arsenic Anomalies
Authors: Premović Pavle I.
Published: December 2015

Remarkably high arsenic (As) contents havebeen reported in numerous Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary(KPB) clays worldwide including those from Spain (atCaravaca and Agost) and New (N.) Zealand (at WoodsideCreek). Two interpretations have been offered to explainthis anomaly. The first one suggests that this As was generatedby the combustion of fossil fuels (such as crude oil,coal or oil shales) near the Chicxulub impact site and thesecond interpretation proposes the post-impact combustionof the global biomass at the KPB. Both types of combustionwere presumably triggered by the Chicxulub impactor.This report shows that the estimated surface densitiesof As in Spain and N. Zealand strongly contradict thefossil fuel hydrocarbons/biomass hypotheses. In addition,we also show that previously reported global abundancesof As at KPB are greatly overestimated.The high abundances of iron (Fe) in the ejecta layers fromSpain and N. Zealand lead us to a working hypothesis thata major fraction of their anomalous As was adsorbed fromseawater by the Fe-oxides. These oxides were mainly derivedof Fe from the vaporized carbonaceous chondrite impactor.These were originally deposited on the local (topographicallyhigh) oxic soils in Spain and N. Zealand andthen laterally transported to the KPB sites by the impactinducedsurface waters.
Wave-Induced Sediment Motion Beyond the Surf Zone: Case Study of Lubiatowo (Poland)
Authors: Cerkowniak Grzegorz R. , Ostrowski Rafał , Stella Magdalena
Published: December 2015

The paper presents results of field and theoretical investigations of a natural sandy shore located near the IBW PAN Coastal Research Station in Lubiatowo (Poland, the south Baltic Sea). The study site displays multi-bar cross-shore profiles that intensively dissipate wave energy, mostly by breaking. The main field data comprise offshore wave parameters and three cross-shore bathymetric profiles. Waveinduced nearbed velocities and bed shear stresses are theoretically modelled for weak, moderate, strong and extreme storm conditions to determine sediment motion regimes at various locations on the seaward boundary of the surf zone. The paper contains a discussion on the depth of closure concept, according to which the offshore range of sea bottom changes can be determined by the extreme seasonal deep-water wave parameters.

Amputee golfers need to cope with the absence of sole proprioception, a decreased range of swing motion and other factors which should be recognized for training purposes. The aim of this study was to determine the kinetic and kinematic differences in the golf swing in one leg and two legs amputees. The participants consisted of two males and one female at a professional or amateur level with a different degree of disability. Each participant was taped by 3D markers and performed five golf swings with the iron 6. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) did not vary between individuals in kinematics, however, it was low in kinetic variables of two leg amputees. The Kendal rank correlation showed a significant relationship between the level of amputation and a large number of kinetic and kinematic variables such as X factor, O factor, S factor and individual body angles. The fluency and similarity of the golf swing did not depend on the level of amputation. One lower limb amputation did not seem to increase movement variability contrary to two lower limb amputation. The most variable parameter was a weight-shift in all golfers. The takeaway and horizontal force angle depended on the level of amputation rather than individual technique, thus, their modification by training may be difficult. Estimation of golf swing „mistakes“ in amputees in respect to the leading arm in an early follow or late follow position appeared to be useless.

Published: December 2015

Innovation in training equipment is important for increasing training effectiveness, performance and changes in body composition, especially in wheelchair users with paraplegia. The main objective of a workout session is to induce an adaptation stimulus, which requires overload of involved muscles by voluntary effort, yet this overload may be highly influenced by the size of the spinal cord lesion. Krancykl construction is designed to allow exercise on any wheelchair and with adjustable height or width of crank handles, where even the grip handle may be altered. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in body composition, performance and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) in paraplegics with a different level of paralyses after a 12 week training programme of a unilateral regime on Krankcycle equipment (a crank machine). The study sample included four men and one women at a different spine lesion level. The 12 weeks programme was successfully completed by four participants, while one subject got injured during the intervention process. Three participants were paraplegics and one was quadriplegic with innervation of the biceps humeri, triceps humeri and deltoideus. The Krankcycle 30 min programme was followed by four other exercises, which were performed after themselves rather than in a circuit training manner as the latter would result in much longer rest periods between exercises, because paraplegics have to be fixed by straps during exercise on hydraulic machines. The RPE after the workout decreased following the twelve week adaptation period.

Authors: Bauerfeind Joanna , Koper Magdalena , Wieczorek Jacek , Urbański Piotr , Tasiemski Tomasz
Published: December 2015

The aim of the study was to analyze etiology and the incidence of sports injuries among wheelchair rugby players. Moreover, we verified if the levels of aggressiveness and anger presented by the athletes and their roles in the team influenced the incidence and severity of the injuries. The study involved 14 male players, members of the Polish National Wheelchair Rugby Team. During a 9-month period, the athletes participated in up to 9 training camps and 4 Wheelchair Rugby tournaments. The study was based on the Competitive Aggressiveness and Anger Scale, registry of sports injuries consulted and non-consulted with a physician and a demographic questionnaire. The following observations were made during the 9-month period corresponding to a mean of 25 training and tournament days: 1) wheelchair rugby players experienced primarily minor injuries (n=102) that did not require a medical intervention, 2) only four injuries needed to be consulted by a physician, 3) sports injuries occurred more frequently among offensive players than in defensive players, 4) offensive players showed a tendency to higher levels of anger and aggressiveness than defensive players. It can be concluded that wheelchair rugby is a discipline associated with a high incidence of minor injuries that do not require a medical intervention. The incidence rate of injuries during the analyzed period was 0.3 per athlete per training day.

The real-time rendering of subdivision surfaces using hardware tessellation
Authors: Nießner Matthias
Published: December 2015

In the last decade, computer-generated images have become a vital and integral part of our everyday lives.
The quality of these images depends considerably on the geometric representation of the underlying virtual 3D environments. Subdivision surfaces, one such representation, have been found to be very useful due to their unique geometric properties.
These properties led to the adaptation of subdivision surfaces as a movie industry standard for modeling 3D geometry, making subdivision surfaces indispensable in today's film productions.
However, despite the high surface quality of subdivision surfaces, the complexity of underlying calculations requires a significant computational budget.
In this thesis, we address this problem and propose novel algorithms to accelerate the evaluation of subdivision surfaces by several orders of magnitude.
This enables the rendering of high-quality movie content on commercially available desktop computers within only a few milliseconds, opening up the possibility of using subdivision surfaces in real-time applications (e. g., video games).
The results of this work have been made publicly available in Pixar's open source initiative OpenSubdiv, which is used in many industry applications (e. g., Maya, a modeling software by the industry leader Autodesk).
Our algorithms can also be found in video games such as Activision's best seller Call of Duty: Ghosts, where we now can enjoy the surface quality of movies.
Analysis Of Aspects Of Messages Hiding In Text Environments
Authors: Afanasyeva Olesya
Published: December 2015

In the work are researched problems, which arise during hiding of messages in text environments, being transmitted by electronic communication channels and the Internet. The analysis of selection of places in text environment (TE), which can be replaced by word from the message is performed. Selection and replacement of words in the text environment is implemented basing on semantic analysis of text fragment, consisting of the inserted word, and its environment in TE. For implementation of such analysis is used concept of semantic parameters of words coordination and semantic value of separate word. Are used well-known methods of determination of values of these parameters. This allows moving from quality level to quantitative level analysis of text fragments semantics during their modification by word substitution. Invisibility of embedded messages is ensured by providing preset values of the semantic cooperation parameter deviations.

Functional Analysis Of A Selected Airport’s System
Authors: Dudek Ewa
Published: December 2015

In this paper two selected airport’s systems (Flight Information System and Public Address Voice Annunciation) are defined and described. Then they are used to create an integrated unit, with the presentation of its way of functioning and a schematic picture. The author names main purposes of the integration process, serving to counteract negative consequences arising from implementation of the increasing number of systems on transport objects. In the following part of the article functional analysis of the integrated unit is carried out, defining system’s possible states of work and relations between them. Utilization of mathematical apparatus allows to calculate probabilities of system staying in the respective states, as well as system’s time indexes. Presented results are a fundament for the further analysis of this matter.

Authors: Pólkowski Marcin , Laskowski Dariusz
Published: December 2015

This article presents analysis and possible reactions of MPLS network on unauthorized access and on device’s failure. Five Cisco routers joined into a core network were used to conduct the project. The devices were connected into a classic reliability model with envelope shape. The key aspects of the research were incidents’ simulation in line with previously prepared scenarios as well as diagnosis of network’s reactions to a particular type of a device failure. These effects were modelled using special devices such as analysers and generators of data traffic. Additionally, the range of the project included measuring convergence time of the routing protocols acting inside the network combined with analysis of reactions to forced changes of route.

Authors: Ignaciuk Piotr , Rymarz Joanna , Niewczas Andrzej
Published: December 2015

The purpose of this paper was to present a failure rate and maintenance cost comparison for two types of city transport buses. The paper presents in detail a case study of well known bus brands used at Municipal Transport Company in Lublin. A failure index of all functional and constructional systems of the vehicles and their technical availability with regards to calendar time was determined. The paper also presents analysis of the factors related to maintenance costs of buses, including costs of fluids, repair costs and maintenance service. It has been demonstrated, that both analyzed buses generate similar maintenance costs, while their failures and technical availability differ significantly in operational practice. These differences are particularly evident in relation to the cumulative costs of repairs.
Selected Methods For Increases Reliability The Of Electronic Systems Security

Published: December 2015

The article presents the issues related to the different methods to increase the reliability of electronic security systems (ESS) for example, a fire alarm system (SSP). Reliability of the SSP in the descriptive sense is a property preservation capacity to implement the preset function (e.g. protection: fire airport, the port, logistics base, etc.), at a certain time and under certain conditions, e.g. Environmental, despite the possible non-compliance by a specific subset of elements this system. Analyzing the available literature on the ESS-SSP is not available studies on methods to increase the reliability (several works similar topics but moving with respect to the burglary and robbery (Intrusion.) Based on the analysis of the set of all paths in the system suitability of the SSP for the scenario mentioned elements fire events (device) critical because of security.

Published: December 2015

In this paper the reliability assessment of structural reliability of the selected light-cured dental composites based on the biaxial flexural strength test results has been presented. A two-parameter Weibull distribution was applied as a reliability model in order to estimate probability of strength maintenance in the analysed population. Weibull distribution parameters were interpreted as a characteristic material strength (scale parameter) and structural reliability parameter in terms of ability to maintain strength by each of specimen from the general population (shape parameter). 20 composite specimens underwent strength tests, including 2 “flow” type composites and 2 standard composites (with typical filler content). “Flow” type composites were characterized with lower characteristic strength and higher structural reliability comparing to other studied composites.
Prospective risk of intrauterine death of monochorionic twins: update
Authors: Simões Teresinha , Queirós Alexandra , Marujo Ana Teresa , Valdoleiros Sandra , Silva Patricia , Blickstein Isaac
Published: December 2015

Objective:

To calculate an updated prospective risk of fetal death in monochorionic-biamniotic (MCBA) twins.

Study design:

We evaluated 520 MCBA twin pregnancies that had intensive prenatal surveillance and delivered in a single Portuguese referral center. The prospective risk of fetal death was calculated as the total number of deaths at the beginning of the gestational period divided by the number of continuing pregnancies at or beyond that period. Data were compared to the 2006 previous report.

Results:

Nearly 80% of the neonates weighed <2500 g, including 13.5% who weighed <1500 g. Half were born at <36 weeks, including 13.8% who were born at <32 weeks. The data indicate an increased IUFD rate over time – 16 fetal deaths per pregnancy (3.1%) and 22 IUFDs per fetus (2.1%). The rate of IUFD after 32–33 weeks, however, was halved (1/187 pregnancies and 1/365 fetuses, 0.5 and 0.3%, respectively).

Conclusion:

Intensive prenatal surveillance might decrease the unexpected fetal death rates after 33 week’s gestation and our data do not support elective preterm birth for uncomplicated MCBA twins.

Better never to have been?
Authors: Puls Heiko
Published: December 2015

In this paper I argue that Kant’s claim regarding the asymmetry between the need for happiness and the fulfilment of happiness means that no rational human being could hypothetically wish to repeat its own existence. I show that from this claim it follows that it could be rationally desirable for human beings not to be brought into existence. Thus I show that a Kantian response is available for the contemporary applied ethics question whether human beings are harmed by coming into existence.
Biographische Rätsel um den halleschen Kantianer Johann Heinrich Tieft runk sind gelöst
Authors: Kloos Ingomar
Published: December 2015

Johann Heinrich Tieftrunk belongs to the group of true Kant-followers of the “closed Kantian” (“geschlossen kantische”) period [Gerhard Stammler] of earlier Kantianism in Halle (approx. 1770–1817). Except for his philosophy of religion, his philosophical work has thus far been ignored. Significant in this regard is our lack of biographical data on Tieftrunk. Some puzzles, however, such as his date of birth, have now been solved.
The Importance of the Thin Conception of the Rule of Law for International Development: A Decision-Theoretic Account
Authors: Boom Christopher D.
Published: December 2015

The rule of law is frequently claimed to be an important factor – if not a necessary element – for advancing international development. Among the development goals conformity with the rule of law has been thought to advance are economic growth, legal compliance, and respect for human dignity. Yet, as many commentators have observed, any attempt to draw straightforward conclusions about the relationship between the rule of law and these aims will inevitably be frustrated by the fact that there exist a number of very different understandings of what conformity to the rule of law consists in. In this paper, I draw attention to the distinction between competing “thin” and “thick” conceptions of the rule of law. Understandably, the thin conception’s relevance for advancing development aims has often been overlooked in favor of the thick conception’s. Nevertheless, I offer here a decision-theoretic analysis of the thin conception’s relationship to growth, compliance, and respect for dignity that justifies special focus on its significance for these areas. Specifically, I argue that, all things being equal, members of a state which violates the thin conception will have less incentive to engage in pro-growth conduct and/or more incentive to engage in anti-growth conduct, less incentive to comply with the law and/or more incentive to not comply, and will have less incentive to perform actions that will yield them greater utility and/or more incentive to perform actions that will yield them lower utility. In turn, this analysis predicts a negative relationship between violations of the thin conception and economic growth, legal compliance, and the amount of utility members of the state’s decisions will yield them.
