Due to the important influence of inflation on macro-economic variables, researchers pay tremendous amount of attention to its determinants. Accordingly, in the following research, the impact of 13 variables on inflation during the period of 1338-1391 by using Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) method has been investigated for Iran economy. The ranking of the 13 explanatory variables are obtained based on the probability of their inclusion in model. The results show that the energy price and money imbalance (lagged ratio of money to nominal output) have expected and positive effect on inflation rate with a probability of 100 % and they are considered as the key explanatory variables in inflation equation. The energy price, money imbalance, money growth and market exchange rate growth have the first to fourth rank respectively. The influence of the production growth is not significant on the inflation in the short-run but it gradually influences the inflation through money imbalance channel in the long-run. In addition, most of the disinflation effects due to decrease in money supply will appear with delay. These results imply the dominance of monetary variables on inflation with cost push factors not having important impacts on prices. Also, oil revenue and imports influence the inflation through exchange rate channel, production and money velocity.

Organ donation from deceased donors should occur whenever appropriate: that is, when there is evidence, belief or understanding that donation was the stated wish of the potential donor or would be in accordance with their wishes, is lawful and in line with current guidelines and will not add further distress to the family. This is the underlying assumption of the British Medical Association (BMA) report, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) Guideline and Welsh Government Assembly Report. For potential donors after circulatory death, it might be necessary to support the potential donor until the wishes of the person and their family are ascertained. Provided that such interventions are reasonable, explained and do not cause distress to the patient and their family, such measures are surely suitable and will also enable donation to occur when appropriate. Publication and adherence to guidelines that have clinical, legal and ethical validity will reassure the public. Organ donation not only improves the length and quality of life of recipients, but also saves resources for the NHS and provides benefit to the donor family.

Everyday Medical Ethics and Lawis based on the core chapters of Medical Ethics Today, focussing on the practical issues and dilemmas common to all doctors. It includes chapters on the law and professional guidance relating to consent, treating people who lack capacity, treating children and young people, confidentiality and health records. Thetitle is UK-wide, covering the law and guidance in each of the four nations. Each chapter has a uniform structure which makes it ideal for use in learning and teaching. '10 Things You Need to Know About...' introduces the key points of the topic, Setting the Scene explains where the issues occur in real life and why doctors need to understand them, and then key definitions are followed by explanations of different scenarios. The book uses real cases to illustrate points and summary boxes to highlight key issues throughout. Whilst maintaining its rigorous attention to detail, Everyday Medical Ethics and Lawis an easy read reference book for busy, practising doctors.

Doctors and medical students confront increasingly complicated ethical dilemmas. To respond effectively they need skills in ethical reasoning and an understanding of the law and professional guidance. This book helps them achieve these things. It provides practical advice and guidance that draws upon the large volume of enquiries received by the BMAs Medical Ethics Department.Although rooted in moral theory and legal practice, the book is designed both to provide practical advice for doctors day to day working lives and to stimulate debate on broader areas of public policy

Chris Snowdon has the BMA right here:"The BMA's new president, Ian Gilmore, is Britain's leading temperance activist so he won't mind if more pubs close, but he gives the game away when he says he wants the limit reduced to almost nothing."This would not just stop people drinking anything before they drive, it would discourage them from drinking in the evening if they were going to drive in the morning."It is an anti-alcohol policy, not a road safety policy."But let us take the proposal seriously for a moment:The British Medical Association (BMA) on Tuesday voted formally to lobby the government to bring England and Wales in line with the European average, with senior members describing the current threshold as "scandalous".But in line with which European standard? Yes, the drink drive limit in most of Europe is lower. The rate of deaths per billion miles driven - the only useful measure here - is higher in most of Europe than it is in the UK. No, really, page 53 here. Actually, by that only useful standard - for what else is a useful measure other than the number of deaths compared to the amount of travel? - the UK is about half the EU 17 average. So, umm, why isn't everyone else having to follow our standards? You know, the efficient ones? The standards that actually achieve the task at hand? Actually, we know what's happening here. The doctors - as with so many people, so many times - are only looking at the one part of the system. The blood alcohol level. Britain's punishments for breaching our (agreed, higher) limit are positively bloodcurdling compared to some of the penalties elsewhere. In fact, a lot of those 02 and 0.5 limits elsewhere are simple and mere fines - significant punishments like suspension of licence kick in with "aggravated" drink diving, at the same or higher rates than the UK's limit.It's also true that you're much more likely to get caught on the British roads than in many other places. Finally, there's the fact that the current limit is socially supported. There is zero sympathy for anyone caught under the current limits. If two pints at lunchtime mean you can get caught driving home at the end of the day then that societal support will vanish. We have a system that works, the moving parts work together to give us, depending upon which measurement you choose, the third or fourth lowest drink driving death rate in Europe. As with any complex system fiddle with one part of it at the cost of possibly destroying the entire machine. #The current British system works - why would we want to change it?
