Leasing impact on transformation processes in the Russian agricultural sector under sanctions pressure by A. A. Kiritsa, Yu. V. Chutcheva

“…With consideration to  the current situation in   the domestic market, decreased prices for agricultural products and rapid growth of   prices for agricultural machinery, the most promising areas for the use of  leasing mechanisms have been proposed to   help accelerate technical re-equipment in   the agricultural sector: application of   leasing solutions in   the agricultural industry that have already been tested and proven successful in   other market segments (for example, subscription, agrocarsharing, etc.); combination of   leasing mechanisms with trade-in programmes which make it  possible to  comprehensively solve issues not only of   updating machinery and tractor fleet, but also of  recycling worn-out agricultural equipment; use of   leasing mechanisms for the development of  machine and technological complexes as a   modern form of  joint use of   machinery in  agriculture which allows accelerating technical equipment of   the industry. …”

Protecting the Autonomy of Patients with Severe Mental Illness Through Psychiatric Advance Directive Peer-Facilitation by Nicholas Karasik

“…Guiding Distributive Justice: Capability Theory Capability theory is an account of justice opportunity that places a fundamental moral significance on individuals' ability to reach proper functioning and well-being.[52] Whether or not an individual can make use of a particular set of resources and convert them into a state of functioning depends on personal, sociopolitical, and environmental conditions ("conversion factors").[53] In this sense, liberty is not the absence of restraint from others or institutions but the freedom achieved through capability-enhancing relationships.[54] Within the context of bioethics, capability theory shifts focus toward creating circumstances by which individuals can direct their lives as they choose.[55] Acting in accordance with the principle of beneficence, peer-support specialists could enhance the capability of patients to be self-determined and autonomous, which would promote patient well-being and empowerment.[56] Those living with SMI, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, are among the most disadvantaged in society, experiencing social and economic hardship related to their illness.[57] These individuals are often feared and rejected by others, which increases depression, lowers self-esteem, and engenders feelings of social isolation.[58] Compounding their challenges, especially for those facing structural inequalities, is insufficient access to appropriate mental health services supporting recovery.[59] Capability theory provides a sound justification for the resource distribution necessary to create and sustain a thriving network of peer-support specialists, to which those with SMI currently do not have access. …”
