The Green River park's infrastructure and transportation systems are both done in a way where all amenities are accessible through a network of pedestrian links, cycle routes, and green bridges. The infrastructure also serves rapid transportation via the inter-city monorail, light rail links and the inner-city tram as well as an electric bus network. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Park_(Egypt) |
The Green River will be open for visits free of charge for the New Administrative Capital, New Cairo and Cairo residents. All universities and cities in the new capital are somehow connected to the Green River. All districts in the new capital contain green gardens through which residents can reach the main park on foot. An integrated network of pedestrian and bicycle paths will allow people of all abilities to enjoy the parks. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Park_(Egypt) |
The Green River consists of 7 gardens. International Park Sports Park Plants Garden Historic Park Science Park Health and Population Park Business and Finance Park == References == | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Park_(Egypt) |
Congruence bias is the tendency of people to over-rely on testing their initial hypothesis (the most congruent one) while neglecting to test alternative hypotheses. That is, people rarely try experiments that could disprove their initial belief, but rather try to repeat their initial results. It is a special case of the confirmation bias. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_bias |
Suppose that, in an experimental setting, a subject is presented with two buttons and told that pressing one of those buttons, but not the other, will open a door. The subject adopts the hypothesis that the button on the left opens the door in question. A direct test of this hypothesis would be pressing the button on the left; an indirect test would be pressing the button on the right. The latter is still a valid test because once the result of the door's remaining closed is found, the left button is proven to be the desired button. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_bias |
(This example is parallel to Bruner, Goodnow, and Austin's example in the psychology classic, A Study of Thinking.) It is possible to apply this idea of direct and indirect testing to more complicated experiments in order to explain the presence of a congruence bias in people's reasoning. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_bias |
Congruence bias could be said to be present if a subject tests their own (usually naive) hypothesis again and again instead of trying to disprove it. The classic example of subjects' congruence bias was discovered by Peter Wason (1960, 1968). Here, the experimenter gave subjects the number sequence "2, 4, 6", telling the subjects that this sequence followed a particular rule and instructing subjects to find the rule underlying the sequence logic. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_bias |
Subjects provide their own number sequences as tests to see if they could ascertain the rule dictating which numbers could be included in the sequence and which could not. Most subjects quickly assumed that the underlying rule is "numbers ascending by 2", and provide as tests only sequences concordant with this rule, such as "8, 10, 12" or "3, 5, 7" (direct testing). The experimenter would confirm that these sequences are in compliance with the rule they were thinking of. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_bias |
When subjects get confirmatory feedback from repeated testing of the same rule, their confidence in their assumption increases. When the subject offers to the experimenter the hypothesis that the rule is "numbers ascending by 2" they are told that the rule is wrong. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_bias |
Subjects tend to be confused by this, and may attempt to change the wording of the rule without changing its meaning. Some may switch to indirect testing, but have trouble letting go of the "+ 2" convention (e.g., producing potential rules as idiosyncratic as "the first two numbers in the sequence are random, and the third number is the second number plus two"). Many subjects never realize the actual rule. The actual rule used by the experimenter to generate the example and to assess the test sequences provided by the subject was simply "list ascending numbers". Subjects failed to identify the rule due to their inability to consider indirect tests of their hypotheses. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_bias |
Wason attributed this failure of subjects to an inability to consider alternative hypotheses, which is the root of the congruence bias. Jonathan Baron explains that subjects could be said to be using a "congruence heuristic", wherein a hypothesis is tested only by thinking of results that would be found if that hypothesis is true. This heuristic, which many people seem to use, ignores alternative hypotheses. Baron suggests the following heuristics to avoid falling into the congruence bias trap: Ask "How likely is a yes answer, if I assume that my hypothesis is false?" | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_bias |
Remember to choose a test that has a high probability of giving some answer if the hypothesis is true, and a low probability if it is false. "Try to think of alternative hypotheses; then choose a test most likely to distinguish them—a test that will probably give different results depending on which is true." An example of the need for the heuristic could be seen in a doctor's attempting to diagnose appendicitis. In that situation, assessing a white blood cell count would not assist in diagnosis because an elevated white blood cell count is associated with a number of maladies. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_bias |

INDIAai is a web portal launched by the Government of India in May 2022 for artificial intelligence related developments in India. It is known as the National AI Portal of India, which was jointly started by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the National e-Governance Division (NeGD) and the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) with support from the Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSE&L) and Ministry of Human Resource Development. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INDIAai |
The portal was launched on May 30, 2020, by Ravi Shankar Prasad, the Union Minister for Electronics and IT, Law and Justice and Communications, on the first anniversary of the second tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government. A national program for the youth, 'Responsible AI for Youth', was also launched on the same day.As of 2022, the website was visited by more than 4.5 lakh users with 1.2 million page views. It has 1151 articles on artificial intelligence, 701 news stories, 98 reports, 95 case studies and 213 videos on its portal. It maintains a database on AI ecosystem of India featuring 121 government initiatives and 281 startups. In May 2022, INDIAai released a book titled 'AI for Everyone' that covers the basics of AI. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INDIAai |
It aims to function as a one-stop portal for all AI-related development in India. The platform publishes resources such as articles, news, interviews, and investment funding news and events for AI startups, AI companies, and educational firms related to artificial intelligence in India. It also distributes documents, case studies, and research reports. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INDIAai |

Anno 2205 is a city-building and economic simulation game, with real-time strategy elements, developed by Blue Byte and published by Ubisoft. Anno 2205 is the sixth game of the Anno series, and was released worldwide on 3 November 2015. As with Anno 2070, the game is set in the future, with players having the opportunity to set up colonies on the Moon. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
Anno 2205 is a futuristic city-building video game similar to Anno 2070, as opposed to the previous installments which feature a historical setting. In the game, players take on the role of a leader from a corporation and must compete against other corporations in developing future technologies. At the beginning of the game, players are tasked to build different metropolises on Earth. Population increases when more buildings are built, and players are tasked to satisfy and fulfill the needs of their citizens. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
Besides building housing, players must also produce goods and build infrastructures like robot production facilities to maintain their economy, where said buildings can be relocated or moved around by players. Similar to SimCity, different parts can be added to buildings to enhance their functions. Upgrading the production structures of these buildings can also improve their efficiency. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
When citizens' demands were satisfied, they are able to produce more goods.Eventually players are asked to develop and conduct research in arctic regions in order to find cost-efficient ways to launch rockets to the Moon and upon completion, players may colonize the Moon and build cities inside its craters. Resources of the Moon, such as helium-3, are vital to the development of the cities on Earth and can be sent back to Earth. Gameplay differs when players are establishing an outpost in the arctic regions or on the Moon. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
In the arctic regions players must manage the heating areas of the outpost. As the Moon lacks an atmosphere and features a grimmer environment than Earth, building a city on the Moon requires erecting asteroid shields, as well as unique greenhouses to produce food. Anno 2205 also includes a fully functional day and night cycle for different visuals. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
The game also introduces a session mode, which allows player to control and manage their cities both on Earth and on the Moon at the same time. Resources vary in different sessions, as a result, players must set up trade routes between different colonies, so that resources and raw materials from a city can be used in another city. The cities in the game are five times larger than the ones in its predecessors, and they support at least eight different sessions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
Pollution, as well as the underwater gameplay featured in Anno 2070 was removed from 2205. Bridges can be built to connect cities, while buildings can be upgraded via using different modules. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
Upon completion, the upgraded buildings can produce more goods.Information in 2205 is presented visually instead of utilizing text like the previous installments. Citizens' demands appear as images or icons. Happiness of citizens influence their actions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
If they are happy, they can be seen travelling around the city. However, if they are not, they will abandon their buildings and leave. Multiple camera angles are available for players to use. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
They can zoom in and zoom out, or to use pre-defined cameras to view the city. The structure of the game's story is also overhauled, in which players are not forced to complete the missions, and that players can choose to complete it during the free play.Naval battles can no longer occur near cities, instead taking take place in remote regions and are optional. It is possible for owned sectors to be blockaded and the fleet can be called to break through. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
Expanding computer players have also been removed. In post update 1.6, every corporation can join the stock market. Doing so adds another layer of gameplay in the form of shares and auctions for both that player's corporation and all five rivals, corporate espionage and dominance and eventually monopolization for various industrial sectors. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
Blue Byte revealed that after 2070, which received critical acclaim, the franchise would move to a new direction, in which the setting of the game continues to move into the future. The game is being developed by Blue Byte, primarily at its Mainz studio, the developer of Anno 1701 and Anno 1404. The game chose not to include any online multiplayer feature because the developer hoped players could focus on their own cities, and have full control of them. The game also introduced more features, as the studio wanted to add something fresh to the franchise with 2205, and the gameplay was made more streamlined.Anno 2205 was announced during Ubisoft's Electronic Entertainment Expo 2015 conference, including its Season Pass. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
The full game, as well as additional content, is included in the Gold Edition of 2205. Players who pre-ordered the game were to gain access to the game's closed beta. The closed beta was cancelled, and players who pre-ordered the game received an in-game bonus instead (a new command ship skin).Upon the game's release, it was supported with downloadable content. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
Wildwater Bay, a free expansion which introduces a new session, and a new sector project was included in update 1.3. Update 1.6 included the Big Five Pack, which added the option for every corporation to join that stock market, which would enable additional gameplay features, and reintroduced disasters. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
Two expansions, namely Tundra and Orbit were released on February 29 and July 20, 2016, respectively. On October 4, the Frontiers expansion was released, containing three new sectors: Madrigal Islands, Savik Province and the Greentide Archipelago. Later this content was added to Season Pass after getting negative feedback from customers that "Frontiers" was released outside the Season Pass. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
The game received mixed reviews upon launch. While most reviews have praised for its graphics and animations, the disappointments were due to its over-simplistic gameplay compared to its predecessors, lack of randomly generated maps, combat only in side missions and lack of multiplayer, limiting the replay value of the game. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_2205 |
An O mark, known as marujirushi (丸印) or maru (丸) in Japan and gongpyo (공표(空標), ball mark) in Korea, is the name of the symbols "◯" or "⭕" used to represent affirmation in East Asia, similar to its Western equivalent of the checkmark ("✓"). Its opposite is the X mark ("✗" or "×"). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_mark |
It is common in Japan to employ other symbols to express non-binary grading beyond just "yes/no" or "right/wrong." A bullseye (nijūmaru 二重丸) "◎" is often used for "excellent," while a triangle (sankaku 三角) "△" means "so-so" or "partially applicable." This "◎-○-△-×" system is widely known in Japan, and can be used without explanation. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_mark |
Other ad-hoc usages exist, but they require legends explaining every symbol’s meaning. The hanamaru (花丸) is a variant of the O mark. It is typically drawn as a spiral surrounded by rounded flower petals, suggesting a flower. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_mark |
It is frequently used in praising or complimenting children, and the motif often appears in children's characters and logos. The hanamaru is frequently written on tests if a student has achieved full marks or an otherwise outstanding result. It is sometimes used in place of an O mark in grading written response problems if a student's answer is especially good. Some teachers will add more rotations to the spiral the better the answer is. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_mark |
Unicode provides various related symbols, including: U+2B55 ⭕ HEAVY LARGE CIRCLE has both text and emoji presentations, as shown in the table. It defaults to emoji presentation. The emoji U+1F4AE 💮 WHITE FLOWER looks similar to hanamaru, although it represents a rubber stamp commonly used to grade students' written answers and is not usually recognized as hanamaru. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_mark |
Cocoyam is a tuberous root crop cultivated in many regions of South Asia. Cocoyams share many of the same nutritional and agricultural characteristics as potatoes and other root crops such as cassava and yams. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
In 2013 root and tuber crops made up 21% of all cash crop production in Nepal. Great potential lies in the expansion and commercialization of the cocoyam industry, enabling this subsistence and cash crop to become a source of economic stability for many hillside farmers. Cocoyams have a tuberous root (corm), which is surrounded by potato-size tubers referred to as cormels. The cormels are consumed as food and the leaves and shoots eaten as a nutritious vegetable in many stews and ethnic dishes, while the corms are used for replanting and animal feed. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
Due to the crop’s versatility, investing in the production of cocoyams would not only provide Nepalese farmers with a source of income from selling the cormels for cocoyam chip production, but would provide sustenance for themselves as well as feed for their livestock. Cocoyams are capable of yielding 30 to 60 tonnes of cormels per hectare, while cassava yields 20 to 40 tonnes per hectare. The high levels of productivity of cocoyams show the potential of sustaining mass production of the crop. With the breeding and selection of high yields as well as the development of agro practices and technology to allow mass production, cocoyam agronomy has the potential of increasing even further. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
In rural Nepal, women are responsible for up to 80% of agricultural production. Cocoyams are largely produced by female subsistence farmers, thus the crop is commonly associated with low socio-economic status. As cocoyam production is generally an informal activity driven by women on small scale farms, the commercialization and investment in this crop would significantly impact the most vulnerable groups in Nepal. According to a 2005 study carried out by the FAO, women in the high mountainous regions of Nepal contribute more in agricultural production than their male counterpart. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
In order to benefit female hillside farmers, the commercialization of cocoyam would require an increase in women’s access to development opportunities in order to maintain their control over farms. In the high hills and mountainous regions of Nepal the cultivation of land and transport of crops is carried out by livestock such as oxen. This practice is associated with the cultural practices of the Tibetans that reside in these regions. By promoting the mass production of cocoyam for export, new technologies of agricultural cultivation would be required, eliminating the traditional use of livestock for farming and undermining indigenous practices. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
In 1990 the price per tonne of cocoyam was shown to be 75.7% higher than cassava and 38.2% higher than sweet potato. For a Nepalese hillside farmer, selling surplus cocoyam to locals presents challenges due to the crop’s higher selling point. However, if cocoyam was to be commercialized and exported overseas, the higher value of the crop would instead benefit Nepalese farmers as they would experience higher revenues than the previous mentioned root crops. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
Due to current land ownership and tenancy rights in Nepal, land rents require 50% of all agro production to be given to the landowner. According to Hindu law, male offspring come into ownership of parental land holdings. In order for cocoyam cultivation to be economically sustainable and beneficial to female farmers, land reform and public policy would have to shift towards a more gender equal practice of agriculture. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
In a commercialized setting where cocoyams require mass cultivation, the problem of pests and diseases will increase in severity. Cocoyam root rot disease and taro leaf blight are common to cocoyam crops. These diseases can exceed one growing season due to the cocoyam’s propagation method of transmitting diseases onto the next generation, sometimes resulting in yield losses of up to 100%. Therefore, in order for cocoyam to become commercialized, Nepalese farmers need to be educated in disease prevention and given the proper inputs to eliminate the occurrence of the spread of disease. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
Cocoyam grows best in the mountainous and hill regions of Nepal, accounting for a combined 65% of all arable land. Although inputs such as fertilizer are increasingly important for intensive crop cultivation in these regions, manure remains the central source of soil fertility and nutrient replenishment. The mass production of cocoyam in this region would require chemical fertilizers rather than manure. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
The current system of land ownership in Nepal produces a short-term focus on land investment and production, ignoring long-term investments such as terracing and tree planting to avoid soil erosion and the use of fertilizers. The commercialization of cocoyam would require long-term investment in land and soil to enable mass production and sustainability. == References == | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cocoyam |
In economics, potential output (also referred to as "natural gross domestic product") refers to the highest level of real gross domestic product (potential output) that can be sustained over the long term. Actual output happens in real life while potential output shows the level that could be achieved. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_output |
Natural (physical, etc) and institutional constraints impose limits to growth. If actual GDP rises and stays above potential output, then, in a free market economy (i.e. in the absence of wage and price controls), inflation tends to increase as demand for factors of production exceeds supply. This is because of the finite supply of workers and their time, of capital equipment, and of natural resources, along with the limits of our technology and our management skills. Graphically, the expansion of output beyond the natural limit can be seen as a shift of production volume above the optimum quantity on the average cost curve. Likewise, if GDP persists below natural GDP, inflation might decelerate as suppliers lower prices in order to sell more products, utilizing their excess production-capacity. Potential output in macroeconomics corresponds to one point on the production–possibility curve for a society as a whole, reflecting its natural, technological, and institutional constraints. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_output |
Potential output has also been called the "natural gross domestic product." If the economy is said to be at a potential GDP level, the unemployment rate ostensibly equals the NAIRU (the "natural rate of unemployment"). There is great disagreement among economists as to what these rates actually are, while the concept itself of NAIRU is rejected by Post-Keynesians as non-valid.The difference between potential output and actual output is referred to as output gap or GDP gap; it may closely track lags in industrial capacity utilization.Potential output has also been studied in relation Okun's law as to percentage changes in output associated with changes in the output gap and over time and in decomposition of trend and business cycle in the economy relative to the output gap. == Notes == | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_output |
Artificial empathy or computational empathy is the development of AI systems—such as companion robots or virtual agents—that can detect emotions and respond to them in an empathic way.Although such technology can be perceived as scary or threatening, it could also have a significant advantage over humans for roles in which emotional expression can be important, such as in the health care sector. For example, care-givers who perform emotional labor above and beyond the requirements of paid labor can experience chronic stress or burnout, and can become desensitized to patients. Emotional role-playing between a care-receiver and a robot might actually result in less fear and concern for the receiver's predicament ("if it is just a robot taking care of me it cannot be that critical"). Scholars debate the possible outcome of such technology using two different perspectives: Either the artificial empathy could help the socialization of care-givers, or serve as role model for emotional detachment.A broader definition of artificial empathy is "the ability of nonhuman models to predict a person's internal state (e.g., cognitive, affective, physical) given the signals (s)he emits (e.g., facial expression, voice, gesture) or to predict a person's reaction (including, but not limited to internal states) when he or she is exposed to a given set of stimuli (e.g., facial expression, voice, gesture, graphics, music, etc.)". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_empathy |
There are a variety of philosophical, theoretical, and applicative questions related to artificial empathy. For example: Which conditions would have to be met for a robot to respond competently to a human emotion? What models of empathy can or should be applied to Social and Assistive Robotics? | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_empathy |
Must the interaction of humans with robots imitate affective interaction between humans? Can a robot help science learn about affective development of humans? Would robots create unforeseen categories of inauthentic relations? What relations with robots can be considered authentic? | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_empathy |
People often communicate and make decisions based on inferences about each other's internal states (e.g., emotional, cognitive, and physical states) that are in turn based on signals emitted by the person such as facial expression, body gesture, voice, and words. Broadly speaking, artificial empathy focuses on developing non-human models that achieve similar objectives using similar data. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_empathy |
Artificial empathy has been applied in various research disciplines, including artificial intelligence and business. Two main streams of research in this domain are: the use of nonhuman models to predict a person's internal state (e.g., cognitive, affective, physical) given the signals he or she emits (e.g., facial expression, voice, gesture) the use of nonhuman models to predict a person's reaction when he or she is exposed to a given set of stimuli (e.g., facial expression, voice, gesture, graphics, music, etc.).Research on affective computing, such as emotional speech recognition and facial expression detection, falls within the first stream of artificial empathy. Contexts that have been studied include oral interviews, call centers, human-computer interaction, sales pitches, and financial reporting.The second stream of artificial empathy has been researched more in marketing contexts, such as advertising, branding, customer reviews, in-store recommendation systems, movies, and online dating. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_empathy |
With the increasing volume of visual, audio, and text data in commerce, many business applications for artificial empathy have followed. For example, Affectiva analyses viewers' facial expressions from video recordings while they are watching video advertisements in order to optimize the content design of video ads. Softwares like HireVue, BarRaiser, a hiring intelligence firm, helps firms make recruitment decisions by analyzing audio and video information from candidates' video interviews. Lapetus Solutions develops a model to estimate an individual's longevity, health status, and disease susceptibility from a face photo. Their technology has been applied in the insurance industry. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_empathy |
Although artificial intelligence cannot yet replace social workers themselves, the technology has been deployed in that field. Florida State University published a study about Artificial Intelligence being used in the human services field. The research used computer algorithms to analyze health records for combinations of risk factors that could predict a future suicide attempt. The article reports, "machine learning—a future frontier for artificial intelligence—can predict with 80% to 90% accuracy whether someone will attempt suicide as far off as two years into the future. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_empathy |
The algorithms become even more accurate as a person's suicide attempt gets closer. For example, the accuracy climbs to 92% one week before a suicide attempt when artificial intelligence focuses on general hospital patients". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_empathy |
Such algorithmic machines can help social workers. Social work operates on a cycle of engagement, assessment, intervention, and evaluation with clients. Earlier assessment for risk of suicide can lead to earlier interventions and prevention, therefore saving lives. The system would learn, analyze, and detect risk factors, alerting the clinician of a patient's suicide risk score (analogous to a patient's cardiovascular risk score). Then, social workers could step in for further assessment and preventive intervention. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_empathy |
Susan Caroline Kippax (born 1941) is an Australian social psychologist and is Emeritus Professor at the University of New South Wales. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Kippax |

The inverse care law is the principle that the availability of good medical or social care tends to vary inversely with the need of the population served. Proposed by Julian Tudor Hart in 1971, the term has since been widely adopted. It is considered a landmark publication in the history of The Lancet. The name is a pun on inverse-square law, a term and concept from physics. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_care_law |
The law states that: "The availability of good medical care tends to vary inversely with the need for it in the population served. This ... operates more completely where medical care is most exposed to market forces, and less so where such exposure is reduced. "Hart later paraphrased his argument: "To the extent that health care becomes a commodity it becomes distributed just like champagne. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_care_law |
That is rich people get lots of it. Poor people don’t get any of it. "The Inverse Care Law is a key issue in debates about the provision of health care and health inequality. As Frank Dobson put it when he was United Kingdom Secretary of State for Health: "Inequality in health is the worst inequality of all. There is no more serious inequality than knowing that you'll die sooner because you're badly off." | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_care_law |
Parliamentary sovereignty is an ancient concept central to the functioning of the constitution of the United Kingdom but which is also not fully defined and has long been debated. Since the subordination of the monarchy under parliament, and the increasingly democratic methods of parliamentary government, there have been the questions of whether parliament holds a supreme ability to legislate and whether or not it should. Parliamentary sovereignty is a description of the extent to which the Parliament of the United Kingdom has absolute and unlimited power. It is framed in terms of the extent of authority that parliament holds, and whether there are any sorts of law that it cannot pass. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
In other countries, a written constitution often binds the parliament to act in a certain way, but there is no codified constitution in the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, parliament is central to the institutions of state. The concept is exclusive to the UK Parliament and therefore does not extend to the Scottish Parliament, the Senedd and the Northern Ireland Assembly.The traditional view put forward by A. V. Dicey is that parliament had the power to make any law except any law that bound its successors. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
Formally speaking however, the present state that is the UK is descended from the international Treaty of Union between England and Scotland in 1706/7 which led to the creation of the "Kingdom of Great Britain". It is clear that the terms of that Treaty stated that certain of its provisions could not be altered, for example the separate existence of the Scottish legal system, and formally, these restrictions are a continuing limitation on the sovereignty of the UK Parliament. This has also been reconsidered by constitutional theorists including Sir William Wade and Trevor Allan in light of the European Communities Act 1972 and other provisions relating to membership of the European Union, and the position of the Human Rights Act 1998 and any attempts to make this or other legislation entrenched. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
These issues remain contested, although the United Kingdom has since ceased membership of the European Union and is no longer subject to its treaties. The terms "parliamentary sovereignty" and "parliamentary supremacy" are often used interchangeably. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
The term "sovereignty" implies a similarity to the question of national sovereignty. While writer John Austin and others have looked to combine parliamentary and national sovereignty, this view is not universally held. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
Whichever term is used, it relates to the existence or non-existence of limits on parliament's power in its legislative role. Although the House of Commons' dominance within the Houses of Parliament is well attested, "parliamentary sovereignty" refers to their joint power. Almost all legislation is passed with the support of the House of Lords. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
The Statute of Proclamations of 1539 gave the king wide powers to legislate without reference to, or approval from, Parliament. At the same time, it recognised the common law, existing statutory provisions, and excluded the breach of royal proclamations from the death penalty. It was repealed in 1547, but Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth both relied on royal proclamations. A review by Chief Justice Edward Coke in 1610, the Case of Proclamations, established that Parliament had the sole right to legislate, but the Crown could enforce it. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
The concept of parliamentary sovereignty was central to the English Civil War: Royalists argued that power was held by the king, and delegated to Parliament, a view which was challenged by the Parliamentarians. The issue of taxation was a significant power struggle between Parliament and the king during the Stuart period. If Parliament had the ability to withhold funds from the monarch, then it could prevail. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
Direct taxation had been a matter for Parliament from the reign of Edward I, but indirect taxation continued to be a matter for the king.Royal powers were finally removed by the Bill of Rights 1689. The Bill of Rights also removed the ability of the Crown to dispense with (ignore or suspend) legislation and statutes. Such a right had culminated in James II's Declaration of Indulgence of 1687, which had ushered in the Glorious Revolution. That led the Earl of Shaftesbury to declare in 1689, "The Parliament of England is that supreme and absolute power, which gives life and motion to the English government". The Act of Settlement of 1700 removed royal power over the judiciary and defined a vote of both houses as the sole method of removing a judge. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
It was the view of A. V. Dicey, writing in the early twentieth century, that Parliament had "the right to make or unmake any law whatever; and, further, that no person or body is recognised by the law of England as having a right to override or set aside the legislation of Parliament". He refers to "England" but his view held for the other nations of the United Kingdom, with slightly different details. This view however side-steps the issue of the limitations formally placed on Parliament when the United Kingdom was first established in 1706/7 and the English and Scottish Parliaments surrendered, or perhaps more correctly pooled, their sovereignty into the new state. There are at least three suggested sources for this sovereignty. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
The first is sovereignty by Act of Parliament itself. One response, put forward by John Salmond was to reject this idea: he believed that "no statute can confer this power on Parliament for this would be to assume and act on the very power that is to be conferred". An alternative is to see sovereignty conferred by way of the repeated and unchallenged use of sovereignty through the promulgation of laws by Parliament. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
The second possible source are the courts, that in enforcing all Acts of Parliament without exception, they have conferred sovereignty upon Parliament. The third alternative is the complex relationship between all parts of government, and their historical development. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
This is then assumed to be continuous and the basis for the future. However, if sovereignty was built up over time, "freezing" it at the current time seems to run contrary to that.A group of individuals cannot hold sovereignty, only the institution of Parliament; determining what does and does not constitute an Act of Parliament is important. This is considered a "manner and form" requirement. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
In the absence of a written constitution, it is a matter for the common law to make this determination. The court does not consider any procedural defects of the bill if they are present; this is called the "enrolled Act" doctrine. For example, the case of Pickin v British Railways Board was dismissed because it relied on the standing order process not having been fulfilled.However, the status of the Regency Acts is not so clear. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
In them, a regent acting during the infancy, incapacitation or absence of the monarch can assent to bills but cannot do so if they relate to changing the nature of monarchical inheritance or amending the Protestant Religion and Presbyterian Church Act 1707, which protected that church in Scotland. If a regent did assent to a bill of these kinds, it may not be held to be a valid law even if it gained the approval of both houses and royal assent.Parliament may also make changes which impact successor parliaments as to their method of election and their constituent parts. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom |
