Estas modestas y elementales lecciones serían superfluas si fueran dirigidas a estudiosos italianos versados en cualquier otra materia. Sin embargo, todo ordenamiento jurídico —tal vez porque se trata de una pura creación del cerebro humano— tiene de lo humano el atributo de la individualidad. Los juristas, por profesión y educación, se encuentran por lo común sumergidos en el estudio de un solo sistema de derecho positivo, y aquellos que desean salir de este habitual provincialismo, con el fin de realizar investigaciones en el campo del derecho comparado, tropiezan con la insuficiencia, yo diría la carencia casi total, de los presupuestos de una ciencia del derecho comparado. Los conceptos y términos usados en el derecho positivo de la nación que habitan o no se encuentran o tienen diferentes significados en los derechos positivos de los otros Estados, aun a veces en aquellos Estados geográfica y espiritualmente más próximos. Los conceptos jurídicos y la correspondiente terminología, válidos para un determinado derecho positivo, a menudo originan confusión y error cuando son utilizados en la interpretación de otro sistema jurídico.

Healthcare providers, consumers, researchers and policy makers are inundated with unmanageable amounts of information, including evidence from healthcare research. It has become impossible for all to have the time and resources to find, appraise and interpret this evidence and incorporate it into healthcare decisions. Cochrane Reviews respond to this challenge by identifying, appraising and synthesizing research-based evidence and presenting it in a standardized format, published in The Cochrane Library (www.thecochranelibrary.com). The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions contains methodological guidance for the preparation and maintenance of Cochrane intervention reviews. Written in a clear and accessible format, it is the essential manual for all those preparing, maintaining and reading Cochrane reviews. Many of the principles and methods described here are appropriate for systematic reviews applied to other types of research and to systematic reviews of interventions undertaken by others. It is hoped therefore that this book will be invaluable to all those who want to understand the role of systematic reviews, critically appraise published reviews or perform reviews themselves.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
