The purpose of this article is to analyze the legislation of Ukraine on the protection of gambling players from the formation of gambling addiction, to identify ways and means of protection, to evaluate their effectiveness and to formulate proposals for improving (strengthening) the protection of the rights of gambling players. The research used general scientific and special scientific methods of scientific knowledge. In particular, the dialectical method of learning the phenomena of the surrounding reality, comparative-legal, systemic-structural, methods of logic (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, analogy). Many prevention measures have already been implemented in Ukraine. In addition, the player is protected by the right to receive free psychosocial assistance in the event of problems with gambling and free medical assistance in the event of a diagnosis of gambling addiction. The state also provides free socio-psychological rehabilitation of players during and after treatment for gaming addiction. The disadvantage is the bringing of the player to administrative responsibility for participating in illegal gambling and the impossibility of recognizing him as a victim in criminal proceedings to compensate for the damage caused by the crime (engagement in the gambling business).

In my article, I would like to show Emil Brunner’s early thoughts and statements included in his sermons in Obstalden among others. These sermons are unknown and unpublished to date. It is mostly claimed that Brunner entered in a modern and dialectical phase because of his colleague in the Reformed Church, Karl Barth. The truth is that they later had intense discussions about theses and antitheses in the phase of dialectics. Brunner, however, formulates new dialectical thoughts earlier than Barth does – for example, already in 1916 on dialectical Christology by using the text Mk 15:33–41 and reflecting arguments of modern theology. He speaks in his sermons about God (thesis), man (antithesis), and “Gottmensch” (synthesis). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The contributors to The Dialectics of Liberty demonstrate that libertarians can engage in a careful context-sensitive analysis of social behavior and political ideals. The book refutes the notion that libertarians must be insensitive to nuances in social environments and reliant on a woefully oversimplified conception of individuals, businesses, and governments. In this review, I first discuss the nature of dialectics, making explicit the mostly implicit definition running between the chapters of The Dialectics. I then summarize several of the chapters, synthesizing from them generalizable lessons about what Austrian economists and classical liberal scholars more generally can learn by being mindful of social context, synthesizing disparate ideas, and transcending dichotomies.

The state of equity opportunities and development issues in South Siberut is alarmingly weak. A prime example is the secluded local community of Matotonan, which is often treated as if it is not part of Indonesian territory. This neglect is a result of various factors, including economic deterioration. In terms of its economy, education, health, politics, and infrastructure, this village lags significantly behind other villages in South Sumatera, highlighting the urgent need for intervention.The approach used in this paper is the qualitative approach. Documentary and ethnographic principles are used to attain data. In-depth interviews have also been conducted with several public figures such as sikerei, religious figures, political figures, and youths. The main issues are positive and negative impressions of the Nous relationship between the natives and the newcomers in South Siberut. What causes the peak of this conflict. Heterogeneity or diversity is the peak of this long-continuing conflict caused by economic, social, political and religious factors in South Siberut. Socio-economic inequality between the natives and the immigrant's ethnicity sets up the natives to be in marginalized circumstances. Furthermore, among immigrants, ethnicity has huge conflict potential, which is a religious and political conflict. Economic and social inequality issues are then politicized among the public, especially during elections. This issue is becoming worse to the point that it causes splits.It can be concluded that the marginalized native community's nationalism is, in fact, very fragile. They are often the target of rulers, politicians, and trade experts. They are placed in marginalized circumstances to not be able to rejoice in their independence. They live as a marginalized group to the point where their nationalism is nothing more than a fantasy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is a review of the book "Romantic Environmental Sensibility: Nature, Class and Empire" edited by Ve-Yin Tee. The book explores the contemporary significance of Romanticism and its relationship to environmentalism, postcolonialism, and class disparities. It examines the connections between Romanticism and imperialism, as well as the ethical considerations of land and creature ethics. The review praises the book for its wide range of perspectives and its sophisticated analysis, but suggests that it could benefit from including voices from outside the Anglo-American cultural circle. Overall, the book is recommended for scholars and students in various fields, including literary studies, philosophy, and environmental studies. [Extracted from the article]

This research found a dynamic orientation between digital literacy and religious authority. A quantitative approach leads the authority to influence digital literacy. In contrast, the qualitative one passes the opposite direction, i.e. the more literate to technology, the closer religious behaviour to traditional religious authority. This research discusses three important issues. Firstly, digital literacy influencing religious behaviour illustrates the awareness of the importance of digital technology in religious social practices. This awareness creates the idea of the importance of technological literacy in building socio-religious practices. Secondly, the impact of digital literacy on religious authority is discovered by the development of digital literacy associated with disseminating religious knowledge on social media. However, due to their instability, social media platforms cannot be used as a standard for authorizing religious sources. Consequently, some referred to traditional sources. Lastly, the dynamics of religious authority investigate the constellation of dialectical processes that refer to standard terminology in religious practices. Those processes have led to a big question about the actuality of religious authority in society. The actuality of the dominant religious authority tends to lead to technology in practice, but the conceptual point of the authority is in the conventional realm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ubiquity of new technologies is evident, and regulation is always presented as a solution for all potential threats they can bring in domains like privacy, democracy, and even human autonomy. This paper aim is to identify components that should be considered in regulating new technologies. The hypothesis is that the decision related to who should regulate distinct aspects of the development and usage of new technologies should be grounded in the understanding of those mandatory components of a regulatory system. The paper is developed according to the critical dialectic method and bring a descriptive and prescriptive analysis. It concludes that regulation that disregards the indicated components will be inevitably ineffective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores the concept of parallax and its implications for understanding the relationship between Marxism and Black radicalism in early America. Parallax refers to the displacement of an object caused by a shift in perspective, revealing the limitations of singular viewpoints. The author argues that parallax can help illuminate the potential differences between Black radicalism and Marxism, offering a new way of knowing that disrupts conventional models. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing the existence of the Black radical tradition and engages with the work of Du Bois, Wright, James, and Smith to illustrate this tradition's complexity and radicalism.

The authors describe the journey of a group of psychoanalysts from the Società Italiana di Psicoanalisi della Relazione (SIPRe) that, from the 1980s to the present, has led to the hypothesis of a theory based on a unitary Subject in becoming. To the concept of Relation, understood not in a phenomenal sense but as structuring the psyche and individual behavior, were juxtaposed, with reference to the development of the human being, the moments of the Hegelian dialectic – thesis, antithesis and synthesis – understood as the passage from the prereflexive to the reflexive and the self-reflexive. From this initial reflection, we then came to distinguish between direct consciousness, characteristic of the first eighteen months of life, reflective consciousness, foundational to individual identity, and self-reflective consciousness, a capacity acquired by the human, which is expressed in the narrative of oneself made to oneself and others and refers to the perception of one’s own identity, based on unconscious determinants. In the group’s journey, these moments of development were articulated as co-present expressions of an ongoing process, leading to the formulation of the concept of the unitary Subject in Becoming: a system, always striving toward a beyond, that self-organizes and incessantly makes itself in relationship with the other, from a perspective that frames it as coinciding with its becoming. Seeking to nurture the vital openness to future theoretical developments, its clinical implications are traced through a vignette. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article argues that the Old English Dialogues of Solomon and Saturn adapt the classical dialectical method in order to show how individual mentality can be reshaped through dialogue. The first section demonstrates that Saturn seeks healing for his afflicted mentality through the reconciliatory powers of dialogue. In the second section, I turn to the contrasting treatment of anger in Solomon and Saturn I and Solomon and Saturn II as manifestations of divine vengeance and sinful vice, respectively. Ultimately, the two poems in dialogue with one another demonstrate how an individual's emotional state is open to moderation and improvement through discursive practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Concerns about the influence of capitalism on society, as expressed by Adorno and Horkheimer in the Dialectic of Enlightenment. The aim is to understand how the culture industry and digitization affect contemporary culture and politics. The research method involves analyzing literature and data from various sources to illustrate the impact of digitization, particularly in the spread of fake news and the formation of public opinion. The results indicate that technology, such as social media and artificial intelligence, has become a primary tool in influencing the perceptions and political behavior of society. This is reflected in the increasingly widespread dissemination of fake news and the use of technology to manipulate public opinion. In conclusion, serious attention is needed to address this issue by strengthening digital literacy and critical thinking among the public and enforcing regulations to limit the spread of fake news.

The social care is affected by multidisciplinary work which by its nature fragments the fragility of subjects into segments dictated by the reference disciplines, vulnerability is experienced as a sort of common exploration of border regions. Working with the person, the protagonist of their life project, means observing them in their uniqueness and accompanying them by their subjectivity. Interdisciplinarity focuses on a dialectic between knowledge that starts from a shared vision of the subject. By the proactive experience of working in a team in a Day Center for people with disabilities, we intend to broaden our gaze to enhance the interdisciplinary dialogue between different services and professionals, starting from a humanistic vision of care as a point of ontological convergence of knowledge and skills of pedagogical, social, legal and medical area about a culture of social work transversal to the plurality of knowledge in a trans-disciplinary perspective.

Studies examining small firm growth have suggested that growth is complex due to the multitude of internal and external factors that disrupt it. However, in focusing mainly on external factors and paying less attention to internal factors, the process of growing – or what is happening inside a small firm as it grows – remains undertheorized. Using findings from a real-time case study of a small firm and insights from the dialectical perspective, we develop a theoretical model that illustrates growth as a dynamic process occurring through dialectic adjustments in response to disruptions that cannot be resolved with routine practices. Our findings suggest that these disruptions trigger one of two situations – potentially converging or potentially diverging – in which individuals must adjust by connecting their insights (converging) or breaking connections (diverging). As such, our findings illustrate the variability in growing, compelling small firms to complexify their internal workings through dialectical adjustments in response to ongoing nonroutine disruptions.

Background: Implied-in-fact contracts have been a part of civil legal relations since ancient times. This study aims to test the hypothesis that implied-in-fact contracts are a way to express will. The author also analyses existing doctrinal approaches to understanding and defining implied-in-fact contracts. This makes it possible to create a unified and established knowledge of implied-in-fact contracts from the standpoint of law. The analysis scrutinises the problems of expression of will in implied-in-fact contracts. In addition, it affirms that the conclusion of implied-in-fact contracts is based on freedom of will, the expression of which is the basis for all civil legal relations. Methods: The study employed the dialectical method to analyse international and national legislation. The comparative legal method determined similar and divergent characteristics based on empirical research of legal norms and common and continental law doctrine. The genesis of the contracts was demonstrated using the historical method. Contradictions were defined and clarified using formal and logical methods. Additionally, the dogmatic method made it possible to formulate new legal positions and concepts. All methods mentioned were used in their interdependence. Results and Conclusions: The study explains the origins and ideas of implied-in-fact contracts, which trace their roots back to Roman law. “Contractus innominate” notably influenced their development, alongside synallagmatic agreement, the principle of “non concedit venire contra factum proprium” and “protestatio facto contraria non-valet”. Implied-in-fact contracts are closely related to estoppel and the concept of stipulation. After all, implied-in-fact contracts have evolved to their modern state and have their counterpart in Сontinental law. At the heart of implied-in-fact contracts are conclusive actions, serving as a way of accepting an offer, determining the form of a contract and expressing will. Conclusive actions are the basis for implied-in-fact contracts. Conclusive actions are characterised by dynamic behaviour in the form of unambiguous actions aimed at the desire to conclude an agreement. However, the absence of a direct normative definition for conclusive actions leads to legal problems in their application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose. To estimate the possibilities and prospects of integrating the educational process in higher education (EPHE) with digital technologies (DT), identify prerequisites and challenges, establish directions for integration, assess the availability of changes in the spectrum of student competencies to the dynamics of labor market requirements; indicate the directions of educational process modification in the conditions of digitalization. Methodology. General scientific and dialectical methods are used: argumentative-deductive method – for identification of disproportion between scope of specialist training and needs of the market; inductive method – formation of an inseparable trajectory of competencies; logical generalization – establishment of integration training areas for the specialist to acquire multi-potential; analysis and synthesis – establishing the permanence of integration process; system analysis – identification of prerequisites, directions, stages, problems of integration. Findings. Prerequisites and directions of methodical, organizational and structural changes in the higher school, the stages and problematic issues of the integration of higher education institutions were identified, a platform structure of the digital educational environment of higher education institutions was proposed and directions for the modification of the educational process in the conditions of digitalization were determined. Originality. The permanent nature of the integration of EPHE with DT is indicated. The trend of integration of the main areas of acquiring educational skills and the need for the formation of fundamental education in all areas of study are indicated. The need to ensure an unbreakable trajectory of student competencies is indicated. Practical value. The proposed direction of the integration of the EPHE with DT on the formation of the specialist’s multipotential will increase their adaptation to the requirements of the labor market. The developed recommendations can be used by scientists and practitioners in the integration of EPHE with DT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores the intricate dynamics among Sufi elites in Cibingbin, highlighting the significant tensions within this distinctive group. The Sufi community is deeply divided, engaging in intense debates and frequent confrontations with each other. Central to these disputes are issues surrounding the Nasab dialectics, an ideology associated with the habaib that stresses the concept of voluntarism among the Sufi elite. These internal debates are most intense between the habaib faction, known as Kanzus Sholawat Cibingbin, and the local religious authorities, referred to as Kyai Kampung. As each group digs in and solidifies their doctrinal positions, the struggle for dominance in the public sphere becomes more pronounced. This phenomenon, which aligns with Habermas's theories regarding the legitimacy of power in public spaces, has unexpectedly fueled the momentum of the Laskar Walisongo movement. Despite the apparent weakening of the habaib's defensive stance, both the habaib and the Kyai Kampung have maintained considerable local influence. The ongoing power struggle highlights the complex interplay between belief, influence and control within this segment of the Sufi community. Ultimately, they have made public spaces an arena not just for collective imagery, but also the most vital part of the organisation's sustainability or spirit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We provide five rearticulations of the thesis that the structure of spacetime is conventional, rather than empirically determined, based upon variation of the structures that are empirically underdetermined and modal contexts in which this underdetermination occurs. Three of the five formulations of conventionalism will be found to fail. Two are found to open up new interesting problems for researchers in the foundations of general relativity. In all five cases, our analysis explores the interplay between geometric identities, symmetry, conformal structure, and the dynamical content of physical theories with the conventionalism dialectic deployed as a tool of explication, clarification, and exploration.

In the sphere of education, early modern Jesuit documents prescribed a large variety of didactical methods. As a result, Jesuit education was perceived as facilitating a dialogue between traditional Scholasticism and humanism or scientific progress. However, complaints from the first half-century of the order indicate that Jesuit schools fell short in terms of their compliance with prescriptive regulations. Indeed, non-Jesuit scholars often considered the order to be conservative traducers of Renaissance scholarship. To assess these contradictory evaluations, this article proposes to scrutinize manuscripts produced by students during their philosophical studies at the colleges of Vienna, Olomouc, and Graz, falling within the timeframe of c. 1580–90. Here, I look to argue that, even before the universal presence of comprehensive Jesuit textbooks, the teaching of philosophy was not only surprisingly unified within the province but new scientific and scholarly developments, including the Gregorian Reform and the debates around Copernican views, were also presented in the Jesuit classroom.

While earlier studies have concentrated on the political and historical dynamics of the Cameroon Ambazonian separatist conflict, there is little knowledge on the effects of the conflict in Anglophone regions on Cameroonian refugees in Nigeria. The study used the mixed method to show how decades of Cameroon's repressive governance system that favors Francophone Cameroonians against Anglophone Cameroonians accounts for the Ambazonian separatist movement, forcing Cameroonians into migration and generating humanitarian crisis for Cameroonian refugees in Nigeria. It recommends that the intervention of the United Nations is capable of mitigating the conflict and preventing the humanitarian consequences in Nigeria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gregory Bateson's career from anthropologist, through his development of cybernetics and systems theory, to developing ideas around 'the sacred', has parallels with Roy Bhaskar's intellectual journey. This paper proposes that as well as Bateson's theory of cybernetics and systemic thought making a contribution to basic and dialectic critical realism, his final and posthumously published Angels Fear: Towards and Epistemology of the Sacred adds to our understanding of Bhaskar's metaReality. Similarities between the development of Bateson's work from 1936 to 1987 and Bhaskar's work from 1975 to 2016 enable the development of theory that adds to both of their respective appreciations of metaReality and the sacred. Thus, by starting a conversation between Bateson and Bhaskar, we can develop a higher order understanding of the world than proposed by Bhaskar's metaReality alone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is devoted to the study of the complex process of reinterpreting the role of the artist in the Modern Era, focusing on philosophical and art historical discourse. The aim of the research is to identify the influence of various socio-economic, political, and cultural factors on the changing place and status of the artist in society. A historical retrospective allows for tracing how perceptions of the artist and their role transformed in the context of changing worldview paradigms. The article also analyzes examples of specific artists and their activities, demonstrating the impact of these factors on their creative self-realization and societal recognition. It examines the dynamics of changes in the understanding and perception of the category «artist» within the philosophical and art historical discourse of the Modern Era. Attention is focused on the influence of socio-economic, political, and cultural factors that shaped the societal position and status of the artist during this period. The study considers how new ideas and changes in social structures led to the transformation of the artist’s role, their creative self-expression, and societal recognition. Utilizing a historical approach, the article demonstrates how these changes were reflected in the work of individual artists and their impact on the artistic environment as a whole. The main emphasis is on how philosophical and cultural changes of the Modern Era transformed the artist from a craftsman to a creative individual with their own voice and significance in shaping the cultural space. Methods Used: the dialectical method, which allowed for tracing the transformation of the essence of the artist phenomenon from internal developmental causes, analysis, synthesis, historicism, and objectivity, was realized through the application of special historical methods-comparative-historical, chronological, and retrospective approaches. These methodological tools provided a deep understanding of the processes of change in the perception and role of the artist across different historical periods, allowing for tracking the evolution of this phenomenon in the context of socio-economic, political, and cultural changes. Main Conclusions: 1. Change in the Social Status of the Artist - in the Modern Era, there was a shift from the artisanal perception of the artist to recognizing them as a creative individual with a unique worldview and significance in society. The artist came to be seen not only as a performer but also as an author capable of contributing individually to cultural development. 2. Influence of Socio-Economic and Political Factors - social and economic changes, such as the rise of the urban bourgeoisie and the development of market relations, promoted the artist’s autonomy. Political events, including revolutions and reforms, also played a significant role in shaping new views on art and artists. 3. Development of Art Institutions - new art institutions, such as academies and salons, emerged, creating platforms for the discussion and demonstration of creativity. This contributed to the professionalization of the artist and increased their influence in society. 4. Philosophical and Cultural Influences-the ideas of Humanism, the Enlightenment, and Romanticism significantly influenced the reinterpretation of the artist’s role. The philosophical currents of the Modern Era emphasized individuality, creativity, and freedom of expression, which were reflected in the artists’ works of that time. 5. Role of the Artist in Shaping Cultural Space-artists became active participants in cultural life, their creativity influencing societal moods and political events. They not only reflected but also shaped the cultural context of their era. 6. Interpretation of Artworks - the perception and interpretation of artworks changed. There was a departure from a purely functional approach towards considering art as an independent form of spiritual activity, possessing its own values and meanings. These conclusions allow for a better understanding of the complex process of transforming the role of the artist in society and highlight the importance of a philosophical and art historical approach for analyzing historical changes in art.

The primary purpose of this study is to discover the dialectic of Imam Abu Haneefah's distinct legal method, namely istihsan, and its implementation in Islamic economics and finance. The library research approach is used to conduct research that is carried out with a review of literature, previous research, and other sources related to the problem being studied. The data obtained in this study are primary, and data presentation and analysis were carried out by researchers based on normative juridical frameworks. The results showed that Istihsan was used as an istinbath method by Imam Abu Haneefa and other scholars because it had a strong foundation both from the Qur'an, Al-Hadith and the views of several other scholars. Thus, the existence of an istihsan can be a postulate of shari'a, although Imam Shafi'i, in his understanding of istihsan categorically rejects it as a postulate of shari'a. Then, the differences in istinbath methods, especially in istihsan, cause many different views about the understanding of istihsan itself, and this causes many legal differences that will result from the method. The implementation of the Istihsan method in the realm of Islamic economics and finance is commonly found in the community in the contract of Shirkah Mufawadhah, Buying and Selling Istishna' and buying and selling credit.

As the beginnings of the popular Japanese crime genre coincided with the end of American occupation, this genre offers a space of historically visible transnationality. Through formal analysis, this research identifies a cultural plurality embedded within crime cinema. Examining the adoption of film noir aesthetics in Japan alongside the development of the nationalistic ninkyō eiga (chivalry film), I argue the crime genre formed as a culturally hybrid genre in tension between these conflicting identities. The crime film demonstrates a dialectical tension between local and international cultural signifiers and cinematic styles, which result in a set of hybrid symbols that repeat on-end the dialectic tension embedded in their formation.

This paper is written in the continental tradition - facing the analytic one - and advocates the knowledge first thesis, reviewing the entailment thesis (where believing is knowing, because to know entails to believe). It starts from the ancient distinction between knowledge and opinion and develops criteria for distinguishing knowledge, opinion and belief. The demonstration necessarily arrives to the kinds of beliefs and thus, to the relationships between knowledge and these kinds. While the distinction of kinds of beliefs leads to the understanding of why the knowledge belief problem did appear in epistemology, the analysis with this distinction is not rigid and can be approached dialectically. This standpoint is aiming at contributing to the debate of knowledge belief problem and to warmer relations between the continental and the analytic philosophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In The Matter of Consciousness, in the course of his extended discussion and defense of Frank Jackson's famous knowledge argument, Torin Alter dismisses some objections on the grounds that they are cases of cheating. Though some opponents of the knowledge argument offer various scenarios in which Mary might come to know what seeing red is like while still in the room, Alter argues that the proposed scenarios are irrelevant. In his view, the Mary case is offered to defend the claim that phenomenal facts cannot be a priori deduced from physical facts. Thus, a proposed scenario constitutes an objection to the knowledge argument only if it presents a case in which Mary's learning inside the room comes about via a priori deduction from physical facts. Call this the deducibility standard. In what follows, I'll explore a series of relevant cases in an effort to clarify this standard. Doing so enables us to better understand how cheating should be assessed in this context and thereby also to get clearer on the argumentative dialectic surrounding the Mary case.

This paper analyzes Russian-French philosopher Alexandre Kojève's dialogue with proponents of Hegelianism and phenomenology in Soviet Russia of the 1920–30s. Considering works by Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Ivan Ilyin, Gustav Shpet, and Alexandre Koyré, I retrace Hegelian themes in Kojève, focusing on the relation between method and time. I argue that original reflections on method played a key role in both Russian Hegelianism and Kojève's work, from his famous Hegel lectures to the late fragments of a system. As I demonstrate, Kojève's Hegelianism was significantly shaped by his encounter with Ilyin's 1918 commentary on Hegel, a detailed study of the relation between method and the experience of time. However, in Kojève's hands, Ilyin's ideas were transformed, some radicalized, others abandoned. Comparatively reading texts by these thinkers in their respective contexts, I resituate and evaluate claims that Hegel's method was less dialectical than phenomenological. I finally argue that early Soviet Hegelian discourses not only shaped the trajectory of Kojève's Hegelianism but also radically anticipated concepts of time in French post-structuralism.

Heeding Harris' call to study diverse verticalisms, I discuss four distinct planning-induced verticalisations in Mumbai by interrelating issues of power, volume and intentionality. Through a novel conceptual framework illuminating the politics of planning, I show how a dialectical tension between (political–bureaucratic) 'sovereign' and 'technical' rationalities of planning shapes each of the four pathways of verticalisation. Mumbai reveals that verticalisation can be unintended – (a) planning can fail to cognise volume (and the vertical as a dimension of significance), and also (b) lack any purposive agenda related to it. Yet, the differential treatment of social groups through sovereign planning exceptions that shape verticalisation also reveals a politics of verticality. This politics illuminates planners' conception of the public and connects it to both the amenities and violence of the vertical life that sovereign planning's exceptions have led to. Overall, a differentiated pattern of exceptionality emerges out of the dialectic of sovereign and technical rationality in planning practice. Sovereign (and in one case, technical) exceptions deflect, suspend and displace technical rationality at different moments along each planning pathway of verticalisation. They selectively benefit businesses and elite groups sometimes by withdrawing the very health protections for the poor that lend legitimacy to planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
