“Conscientious objection in healthcare” occurs when an individual healthcare provider (e.g., a doctor) or an institutional healthcare provider (e.g., a hospital) refuses to provide a legal healthcare service (e.g., medical assistance in dying) on the grounds of conscience

"The theory of speech acts is a prominent concept in linguistics and philosophy of language, primarily associated with the work of J.L. Austin and further developed by John Searle. At its core, the theory of speech acts suggests that when people use language, they do more than just convey information—they perform actions. Speech act theory states that speech is used to achieve some kind of outcome or objective. That is, the purpose of communication is to do something. Truth-conditional semantics is a framework within the philosophy of language and linguistics that seeks to understand the meaning of sentences by focusing on their truth conditions. In other words, it aims to define the meaning of a sentence by specifying the conditions under which it would be true or false. This approach typically involves assigning truth conditions to sentences based on the meanings of their constituent parts, such as words and phrases, and the way they are combined syntactically. It often employs formal logical methods to represent these truth conditions.

It is the 1800s. You are Mowgli, an orphan boy raised in the jungle by a group of monkeys, bears, and tigers; all of which work together, and possess human-level intelligence. Your time in the jungle has given you the ability to communicate with these animals. One day, while walking around, you are found by a group of humans from a village nearby. They take you in for a week, providing you new clothes, food, and water, and begin teaching you the human way. They offer to have you join human society.

In mountaineering and climbing, a first ascent is the first successful documented climb to the top of a mountain or the top of a particular climbing route. Early 20th-century mountaineers and climbers focused on reaching the tops of iconic mountains (e.g. the eight-thousanders) and climbing routes (e.g. the great north faces of the Alps) by whatever means possible, often with large expedition style support teams that laid "siege" to the climb.

In “the American model of sports,” there are salary caps (i.e., the maximum a team is allowed to spend on player salaries), drafts (which allow the worst teams to get the best new players out of high school or college), high amounts of guaranteed team revenue from league-wide revenue sharing regarding league-wide deals with broadcasters and sponsors, and no promotion/relegation between divisions (although there are affiliate lower division leagues such as the NBA’s G-League). In “the European model of sports,” there is promotion/relegation between divisions (based on team performance), variable amounts of team revenue based on performance (often built into team-specific deals with broadcasters and sponsors), no salary caps (or much less strict ones), and no drafts.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are businesses whose size falls below a certain limit. Common metrics used to define SMEs include revenues, assets, or a number of employees below a certain threshold. Capacity-building programs are programs aimed at improving personnel skills. Examples include training for certificates (e.g., database certifications), training under experts, training for regulatory compliance, training for safety, and access to advisory services.

In a carbon tax system, the government imposes a fee on the carbon content of fossil fuels. This fee is typically levied at the point of production or sale. The tax is based on the amount of carbon dioxide emissions generated when the fuel is burned. In a cap-and-trade system, a limit (or "cap") is set on the total amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted. Permits, representing the right to emit a certain amount of greenhouse gases, are distributed or auctioned to companies. If a company emits less than its allotted amount, it can sell its excess permits to others. If a company exceeds its limit, it must buy permits from others to cover the excess emissions. The market determines the price of emissions permits, which can fluctuate based on supply and demand.

The goal of fisheries management is to produce sustainable biological, environmental, and socioeconomic benefits from renewable aquatic resources. Wild fisheries are classified as renewable when the organisms of interest (e.g., fish, shellfish, amphibians, reptiles, and marine mammals) produce an annual biological surplus that with judicious management can be harvested without reducing future productivity. In Canada, the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans is responsible for the management of fisheries in the tidal waters of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic and in the inland waters of the four Atlantic provinces, the territories, and the salmon rivers in British Columbia.
