This paper traces the concept and phenomenon of generosity from Aristotle to Emannuel Levinas and beyond. The question motivating this investigation is: must the generous act be restricted by a rational calculation of correct, or prudent, giving? Answers to this question vary. Aristotle and Kant would answer in the affirmative, while Emerson and Levinas would (apparently) not. The bulk of this paper is dedicated to Levinas's characterization of excessive generosity as a condition for the fundamental ethical relation, namely, the generous welcome of the Other. I end by considering the phenomenon of generosity from the point of view of the mid‐20th century Mexican philosopher, Emilio Uranga.
The health care industry seems prima facie obligated to respond to the demands and expectations of those multicultural communities that make up its stakeholder base. However, as prima facie, this obligation fails to justify "cultural competence" amongst health care professionals or the health care industry. Without some justification, one can only assume that cultural competence is a bilateral process requiring multicultural communities themselves to assume the responsibility for their own care. Relying on a Rawlsian conception of justice, I argue against the view that cultural competence is a bilateral process in this case, and that health care professionals in particular and the health care industry in general have an obligation to attain to cultural competence in order to satisfy a fundamental principle of justice, what Rawls calls the "difference principle."

un tema poco explotado, contrastando con el auge de las investigaciones sobre bibliotecas particulares o de instituciones de enseñanza. Las razones, muy diversas, vienen determinadas por la escasez de fuentes, entre las que destacan los inventarios de mercaderes libreros, cuya información es indispensable para el conocimiento de las inquietudes lectoras y, en definitiva, de los esquemas mentales de la sociedad de la Edad Moderna. En esta ocasión, dos interesantes inventarios de mercancía libraria, negociada en Lima a principios del siglo XVII, nos ofrecerán algunos indicios de una faceta crucial de la vida humana: libros y lecturas.
The valve prolapse is a condition resulting from degeneration of tendinae chords and valve leaflets, which prevent the affected valve to perform its function closing properly, causing blood reflux during ventricular sistol. This reflux will lead to secondary systemic changes, such as pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure, if not treated properly. In auscultation, a cardiac sound is emmited when there is valve prolapse it called "murmur", which can be classified into grades from one to six. This study aims to report the case of Mike, dog, Shih Tzu, male, 3 years old, antended at Hovet Ung in 2012. As history, the main complaints were of prostration and an recent episode of syncope, and respiratory noises when excited. On physical examination the animal had a murmur, mitral valve focused, grade IV - VI, however, it was not constant. This uncommom condition is known as “Intermitent Murmur”.
