The society of today is undergoing a wide array of changes, some present at the economic level, others at a political level, or others at a demographic level. Regardless of the nature of the change, the fact remains that the population itself is undergoing numerous processes of change and adaptation to the dynamic contemporaneous society. One important feature in this sense is represented by the eating habits of the population, which are now more focused on cost effectiveness and ease of consumption. The fast food industry is as such flourishing, but the negative impacts upon the health of the consumers are beginning to show. In such a setting, a fast food restaurant serving pasta products would represent a still easily accessible, cost effective solution, but one which better safeguards the health of the population.

This paper concerns itself with the use of statistics as a means and the important tool in research and analysis – both in the scientific and social sphere. Statistics can be defined as a study of variability and enumeration. It tries to quantify and enumerate uncertain things in a scientific manner.

This paper explains Nagel's model of Inter-Theoretic Reduction as an exposition of the Syntactic View of Theories. The Syntactic View leads Nagel to develop a model revolving around language, vocabulary, and translation through bridge laws. However, Nagel's model suffers from various flaws which all point back to Nagel's Syntactic View. The result is that, while Nagel's model survives its strongest attacks, it had to divest itself of the Syntactic View in order to survive those objections.

For the criminal justice system to be changed, it seems to me that its very basics need to be altered, and I therefore lean towards the philosophy of Restorative justice. Restorative justice in effect states that the offender will grow not be crushed by his crime and will be induced to atone for, rather than commit more crimes. It also believes that a constructive dialogue will be fostered between offender and victim where, after atoning, the offender will be brought into, rather than shunned from the community. Furthermore, it believes that the victim will be most appropriately addressed by this system, rather than ignored as he is at the moment. The offense is seen for what it truly is – a hurt directed at another individual – rather than a hurt directed at an abstract government. By addressing it for what it truly is and atoning for that wrong, restitution sees justice better served than by aimless and destructive vindication. Nonetheless, critics claim the approach to be too sentimental and ‘pie in the sky' Pollyanna type of thinking. Criticisms include opinions that victims like to see revenge and that many offenders are resilient to feelings of compassion and atonement. The following essay leads us through a summary of the system and its criticisms concluding with suggesting some solutions. To me, it still seems that Restorative justice may be the best method for addressing some of the problems inherent in the Criminal justice system. The method needs to be equilibrated so that it is worked in conjunction with others, its points are made more specific so that they are understood, and the system is tapered to those who would most benefit from it, whilst the public receives ongoing and uninterrupted protection.

The area of digital forensics is relatively new, a fact which is reflected in the evolving and often competing methodologies that have been applied in this field. It should also be remembered that evidence gleaned using digital methods have to be properly accessed, processed and verified to be accepted in a court of law, which in turn adds a further layer of complexity to these methodologies. This paper explores the relationship between digital investigation and legal factors by comparing the methodologies suggested by Carrier (2005) and United States Department of Justice's (USDOJ) digital forensic analysis methodology. Among the findings is that context, as well as other variables, plays a large part in the evolution in evolution of the usefulness and applicability of sound methodology.
