Although it is seldom stated explicitly, research into this area is inexorably tied to questions of morality and ethics. In this study, Yukiko Asada seeks to acknowledge the role that morality and theories of justice play in health inequality research, and to articulate the moral philosophy underlying this field of inquiry.Comprised of two distinct parts, Health Inequality first proposes a framework for measuring health inequality reflecting moral concern, then goes on to show how this framework can be applied to quantitative study. Using a specific time period as a case study, Asada questions whether or not health equity improved in the United States between 1990 and 1995. She suggests that the question of whether, and by how much, health inequity changed in the United States is dependent on the morality and accompanying empirical strategy used in the analysis.A unique blend of philosophy and quantitative research, Health Inequality will prove a valuable tool for academics and policymakers alike. 606 $aEquality$xHealth aspects 606 $aPublic health$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aPublic health$xSocial aspects 606 $aHealth services accessibility 606 $aEquality$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEquality$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aPublic health$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aPublic health$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHealth services accessibility. 615 0$aEquality$xHealth aspects 676 $a362.1/042 700 $aAsada$b Yukiko$0906433 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455092703321 996 $aHealth inequality$92027081 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03677nam 2200721 a 450 001 9910789435703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-283-12053-4 010 $a9786613120533 010 $a90-04-19382-0 024 7 $a10.1163/ej.9789004193819.i-221 035 $a(CKB)2670000000093628 035 $a(EBL)717492 035 $a(OCoLC)729749464 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000502777 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11337212 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000502777 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10520976 035 $a(PQKB)10702933 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC717492 035 $a(OCoLC)671870261 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004193826 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL717492 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10470630 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL312053 035 $a(PPN)170734803 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000093628 100 $a20101027d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe legal methodology of late Nehardean sages in Sasanian Babylonia$b[electronic resource] /$fby Barak S.

The book uncovers various distinct characteristics present in the halakhic decision making and source interpretation, and demonstrates how certain amoraim can be characterized as portraying consistent interpretive and legal approaches throughout talmudic literature. Understanding the methodological characteristics that distinguish some amoraim from other amoraim can aid the talmudic interpreter/scholar in clarifying the legal foundations of their rulings, the proofs that they bring within talmudic discourse, as well as their disputes and interpretations. This allows a better understanding of the development of Jewish Law and the legal system in talmudic Babylonia. 410 0$aBrill reference library of Judaism ;$vv. 30. 606 $aJewish law$xMethodology 606 $aJewish law$xInterpretation and construction 606 $aAmoraim 606 $aRabbis$zIraq$zBabylonia 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$yTalmudic period, 10-425 607 $aNehardea (Extinct city) 615 0$aJewish law$xMethodology. 615 0$aJewish law$xInterpretation and construction. 615 0$aAmoraim. 615 0$aRabbis 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 676 $a296.1/20092235 700 $aCohen$b Barak S$01549381 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789435703321 996 $aThe legal methodology of late Nehardean sages in Sasanian Babylonia$93807380 997 $aUNINA
