For example, limited resection was associated with a higher hazard rate and hence shorter survival (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.081.98; P = .013), whereas perioperative use of dexamethasone was associated with prolonged survival (HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.540.90; P = .006).29 The authors also specifically compared patients who received dexamethasone and flurbiprofen axetil with patients who received only one of either drugs or none of the drugs. of the observation period, so the actual survival times for some patients are unknown.

Simon Bolivar, the Latin American military leader, statesman, and icon, justified the abolition of slavery as a shameless violation of human dignity and laws perpetuating it as sacrilege.35 One of the decrees of the French Republic established as a result of the revolution of 1848 abolished slavery as an affront to human dignity.36 The idea of the dignity of labour was used to encapsulate some of the egalitarian ambitions of these social movements, as well as providing a rallying cry by the growing Labour Movement to mobilize the working classes and argue for the state to provide social welfare.37 Ferdinand Lassalle, a leading socialist and founder of Germany's Social Democratic Party, argued, for example, that the state had the duty to improve the situation of the lower classes, who had fallen into poverty and starvation, and thus provide a true humane existence for everyone.38, The prevalence of the use of dignity in European political discourse during the 19th century was not without its critics, both from the left and the right.

Correlation should be used to describe a linear or monotonic association, but this does not exclude that researchers might deliberately or inadvertently misuse the correlation coefficient for relationships that are not adequately characterized by correlation analysis (eg, quadratic relationship as in Figure 3A). Protocol 13 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), Council of Europe, CETS No. 2017;85:185203.

The issue we shall be concerned with is how far, if at all, an overlapping consensus can be identified which goes beyond simply accepting the core identified above. This phenomenon, referred to as censoring, must be accounted for in the analysis to allow for valid inferences. Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (2000/C 364/01), OJ (2000) C 364/1, Preamble, Arts 1, 25, and 31. Raume, Discrimination and Dignity, 63 Louisiana L Rev (2003) 645. 2003;89:605611.

Inter-American Court of Human Rights, Case of the Street Children (Villagran-Morales v. Guatemala, Judgment of Nov. 1999 (Merits), at para. Each subjects individual hazard function is a multiple of this common baseline hazard, and the individual multiplicator is a constant, determined by a time-independent function of a patients individual covariate values.22 This implies that the ratio of the hazard rates between different patients (the HR) is assumed to be constant over timein other words, the effect of a covariate is assumed to be the same at all time points. Bland JM, Altman DG. Maritain's strategy, however, was not to attempt to get agreement on anything as divisive as a theoretical basis for human rights.164 He advised that in order to get agreement on any international declaration of human rights, those negotiating it should concentrate on what particular practices they could agree were necessary or should be prohibited.

The King James Version (KJV), also the King James Bible (KJB) and the Authorized Version, is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, which was commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611, by sponsorship of King James VI and I. I will argue in the remainder of this article that we can identify from the previous analysis a distinctively useful institutional function which dignity plays in judicial interpretation, one that fulfils a need occasioned by the institutional characteristics of judicial decision-making in human rights adjudication. Humphrey's first draft did not include any reference to dignity, and it was included first by Cassin when he redrafted Humphrey's draft. Still cant find what youre [] 2008:2nd ed. In analyzing survival data, 3 common classes of methods are broadly distinguished: The Kaplan-Meier method estimates the unadjusted probability of surviving beyond a certain time point.16 A Kaplan-Meier curve shows the estimated survival function by plotting estimated survival probabilities against time (Figure 1).3 The estimated survival probability is constant between the events.

Frequently, the German constitution and its interpretation by the German Constitutional Court was a prime influence in the drafting of these constitutions generally, explaining the extent to which dignity also became incorporated in these new instruments.140 The German influence extended beyond central and eastern Europe, however, playing a major role in the drafting of the new South African constitution post-apartheid, bringing with it a central place for dignity.141 The German influence is also apparent in the drafting of Israel's Basic Law on Human Dignity, which was to serve as the basis for a Bill of Rights.142, However, as might be expected from the variety of differing approaches that are apparent in the historical development of the idea of dignity, there are some significant differences in the use of dignity in human rights texts. E.g., during the drafting of the UDHR, the Netherlands delegate regretted that man's divine origins and immortal destiny had not been mentioned in the declaration, for the fount of all those rights was the Supreme Being, who laid a great responsibility on those who claimed them. Rational exegesis bases its operation on the idea that the authors have their own inspiration (in this sense, synonymous with artistic inspiration), so their works are completely and utterly a product of the social environment and human intelligence of their authors.

See, e.g., Moon and Allen, Dignity Discourse in Discrimination Law: A Better Route to Equality, 6 European Human Rights L Rev (2006) 610, at 626, referring to the exponential growth in dignity discourse in the courts of England and Wales.

A more pluralistic, more culturally relative approach to the meaning of human dignity can be identified by looking briefly at some of the differences in the use of dignity language between the regional texts, and between the regional texts and the international texts. Schober P, Bossers SM, Schwarte LA. Calculating correlation coefficients with repeated observations: part 1correlation within subjects. They follow a bivariate normal distribution in the population from which they were sampled. Few courts acknowledge that the conception of human dignity that they apply is different from that applied in other countries.
