It has long been assumed by political theorists that there are two opposed characterizations of the state. One is expressed by the individualistic school of thought, in which the individual is primary and the state is secondary. The other is expressed by the organicist school of thought in which the state is primary and the individual is secondary. Herbert Spencer appears to straddle both schools of thought, in that his doctrine includes elements of both individualism and organicism. As a result, Spencer has been much criticized for conceptual confusion and contradiction. Such criticism is misconceived: Spencer successfully reconciles individualism and organicism in his theory, and thereby exposes the falsity of the alleged antithesis between these two concepts in political theory

Political theorists generally contrast two theories of the state: the individualist, for which the individual is primary & the state secondary; & the organicist, for which the reverse is true. Herbert Spencer is often criticized for inconsistency because his published works adhere to both viewpoints. It is argued that, in fact, Spencer successfully reconciles individualism & organicism, which are not so opposed as is typically believed. In Spencer's main theoretical contrast, between industrial & militant societies, industrial societies appear as both individualistic & organic, & militant societies as neither. Modified HA

Social benefits are measured by the costs saved from crime to control in the form of rehabilitation, incapacitation, and deterrence. The benchmark estimate reveals highest net social benefits for probation, followed by jail and then prison. (Abstract amended)

We live in a world where the amount of information available is enormous. In order to keep track of the available knowledge, databases are needed to collect, store, and sort it. Www.fishpathogens.eu is a database developed and maintained by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Fish Diseases. The database was launched in June 2009 focusing on Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia Virus (VHSV), extended with Infectious Haemorrhagic Necrosis Virus (IHNV) in 2010, and is now being extended to include Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus (SVCV), Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus (ISAV), Betanodaviruses, and Koi Herpes Virus (KHV). The database design is based on freeware and could easily be implemented to include pathogens relevant for other species than fish. We present the database using the data on the different fish pathogens as example. However if some are interested in the platform we are happy to cooperate and share the database structure with other Epizone members.
