To What Extent Does Kant's Doctrine of the Highest Good Embody a Realist Orientation Towards Ethics? by Sasha Mudd

“…Through his doctrine of the Highest Good, I argue, Kant shows himself to be concerned with what is required for finite, embodied rational agents to sustain confidence in morality, despite what it costs them in practical alienation. According to this analysis, the transition to moral religion Kant articulates through the Highest Good leaves him at odds with his earlier, constitutivist commitments, and reveals a persistent tension in his ethics between what may be achieved from within the moral standpoint, as this is defined in constitutivist terms, and important practical goods this leaves out. …”

The impact of ketamine on cognitive outcomes in geriatric anesthesia: a comprehensive review by Shuyong You, Shuyong You, Zhaohui Li

“…Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and postoperative delirium (POD) are frequent complications in elderly surgical patients, resulting in longer hospital stays, higher healthcare costs, and long-term cognitive impairment. Although there is some evidence to support ketamine in decreasing neuroinflammation and maintaining cognitive function, others describe high risks of delirium and hallucination, especially at higher doses.MethodsThis review assessed the existing literature on ketamine’s impact on cognitive outcomes in older anesthesia. …”

Smart Contracts and International Trade: European Legal Strategies for Managing Challenges by Th. D. Lamappulage Donn

“…Smart contracts have numerous advantages, such as increased efficiency, reduced costs, and wide availability. However, they may lead to legal challenges when harmonizing traditional legal principles with the digital environment, in particular concerning the authentication of subjects, enforceability under specific circumstances of a case, and jurisdictional issues.Scientific novelty: the current literature on the transformation of international trade regulation in the context of digitalization processes and the spread of smart contracts is complemented by the results of a comparative analysis of the legal positions existing in the European legal space and developed on the basis of problems, lessons and achievements in the smart contracts implementation in international trade.Practical significance: understanding the legal implications of smart contracts is important for businesses involved in international trade. …”
