This article provides an overview of some of the complex issues involved in reconstructing and visualizing past landscapes.

A characterisation of isotonic regression and a solution to this problem will be given. The PAVA algorithm to compute the isotonic regres- sion estimator will be introduced along with asymptotic distrib

This article offers a moral and logical critique of human rights minimalism, by which is meant an account that restricts human rights to a level of sufficiency above or beyond which inequalities have no moral relevance, and which makes duties prior to rights, such that rights are dependent on assumed or actual institutional capacities.

In Swedish law, the notion of ‘science and proven experience’ (in Swedish, vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet) defines the gold standard for public decision-making and practice, especially in medicine. The notion is notoriously vague but nevertheless plays an important role in the distribution of rights and duties of patients and healthcare workers. For example, failure to provide care in accordanc
