InVision Guide to Lifeblood

By: Alexander Tsiaras

When blood and kidney functions are normal, they replenish and renew our well-being daily. And happily, we barely notice. But when their function is compromised, a cascade of problems is triggered in this finely balanced system. Knowing why and how this happens is vitally important. It is also one of our bodies' extraordinary stories. This book, the third in the InVision Guide series, shines a spotlight on the intimate relationship between two unsung heroes—your kidneys and blood, revealing: the marvel of your kidneys and red blood cells and how they work, how hypertension and diabetes can cause chronic kidney disease (CKD), how CKD can cause anemia, drastically sapping energy and lowering quality of life, management and prevention strategies for the health of your kidneys, and the journeys of people who have come to appreciate their kidneys and blood in a whole new way.

The Death Rituals of Rural Greece

By: Loring M. Danforth,Alexander Tsiaras

This compelling text and dramatic photographic essay convey the emotional power of the death rituals of a small Greek village--the funeral, the singing of laments, the distribution of food, the daily visits to the graves, and especially the rite of exhumation. These rituals help Greek villagers face the universal paradox of mourning: how can the living sustain relationships with the dead and at the same time bring them to an end, in order to continue to live meaningfully as members of a community? That is the villagers' dilemma, and our own. Thirty-one moving photographs (reproduced in duotone to do justice to their great beauty) combine with vivid descriptions of the bereaved women of "Potamia" and with the words of the funeral laments to allow the reader an unusual emotional identification with the people of rural Greece as they struggle to integrate the experience of death into their daily lives. Loring M. Danforth's sensitive use of symbolic and structural analysis complements his discussion of the social context in which these rituals occur. He explores important themes in rural Greek life, such as the position of women, patterns of reciprocity and obligation, and the nature of social relations within the family.

International Taxation of Cloud Computing

International Taxation of Cloud Computing

Permanent Establishment, Treaty Characterization, and Transfer Pricing

By: Alexander Weisser

Cloud computing may be borderless, but taxes are territorial. It is easy to imagine how the two concepts can clash. Much effort has gone into harmonizing tax rules across borders with the result that many jurisdictions have very similar tax rules. Even so, taxation remains a basic expression of national sovereignty. The goal of this thesis is to examine how international tax law applies to the cross-border cloud computing business. Both, multinational providers and customers of cloud computing services are analyzed. Reflecting three traditional areas of international tax scholarship, the goal could be stated in three questions. Which jurisdictions have the right to tax? What kinds of cloud computing transactions can be taxed? What amount of the profit is taxable? In more technical terms, this means enquiring into how the use of cloud computing affects the permanent establishment status of taxpayers, how the different kinds of cloud computing transactions are characterized under international double taxation treaties, and how the calculation of taxable cloud computing profit is affected by transfer pricing. In light of the current political events, the thesis also offers recommendations de lege lata through a systematic approach. Its first part assesses the current taxation of cloud computing. The second part evaluates whether the findings of this initial assessment conform to various superior principles of good rulemaking. It identifies which of the present tax rules ought to be adapted. The final part considers how the rules could be amended to become more compliant with the superior principles. In this way, Part I embodies the thesis, Part II the antithesis, and Part III seeks a synthesis.
