Pravilo 50+1 njemačkog nogometa – jučer, danas i sutra
Authors: Brnabić Ratko
Published: May 2020

U radu se raspravlja o temi koja je predmet interesa sportske javnosti i pravne struke već dulje od dvadeset godina. Naime, statut Njemačkog nogometnog saveza sadrži pravilo da nogometni klubovi – društva kapitala koji žele sudjelovati u natjecanjima 1. i 2. Njemačke savezne lige (Bundesliga) moraju imati posebnu člansku strukturu. Sportska udruga iz koje je klub nastao uvijek ima većinsko pravo glasa u klubu bez obzira na ostale ulagače. Tako udruga koja je povijesno bila nositelj sportske aktivnosti ima zadnju riječ o svim važnim pitanjima za klub bez obzira na visinu ulaganja sponzora odnosno vanjskih ulagača u taj sportski pothvat. Analizira se pitanje usklađenosti tih autonomnih pravila Njemačkog nogometnog saveza s njemačkim zakonodavstvom, ali i s pravom Unije. U novije vrijeme ponovno se preispituje opravdanost pravila 50+1 s obzirom na izuzetak prema kojem višegodišnji sponzor kluba koji je u klub ulagao znatna sredstva ipak smije steći većinu glasova u klubu (tzv. Lex Leverkusen). Savez je kao tvorac autonomnog pravila predvidio taj izuzetak zbog dva kluba koji su od svog osnutka neprekidno bili usko povezani i izdašno financijski potpomognuti od strane svojih sponzora – društava kapitala. U međuvremenu su sponzori još nekih klubova temeljem Lex Leverkusena stekli pravo stjecanja udjela koji daju većinu glasova na skupštini tih klubova pa bi u budućnosti norma koja je predviđena kao izuzetak mogla postati pravilo. S druge strane, sportska javnost u Njemačkoj ne gleda blagonaklono na slučaj zakonitog „zaobilaženja“ pravila 50+1, kada većinu glasova u klubu ima udruga, ali udruga ima mali broj članova a njezinim autonomnim aktima otežano je stjecanje članstva. Tako ustrojena udruga dostatna je da klub stekne licencu za natjecanje u saveznim ligama. Provjerava se usklađenost autonomnih normi koje uređuju sportsko natjecanje s pojedinim odredbama Ugovora o funkcioniranju Europske unije (UFEU), a posebice s odredbama o pravu poslovnog nastana, o kretanju kapitala te o tržišnom natjecanju. Na kraju se daje ocjena o održivosti ovog osebujnog pravila koje nije na snazi u ostalim najjačim nogometnim ligama.
Liječnička pogreška u profesionalnom sportu
Authors: Vojković Hrvoje
Published: May 2020

Obavljanje usluge medicinskog tretmana radi sanacije nastalih sportskih ozljeda nosi određene izazove uvjetovane profesionalizacijom sporta. U tom smislu nastojalo se istražiti može li se medicinski tretman u okviru
sportske medicine kvalitativno ili na drugi način razlikovati s obzirom
na specifične okolnosti, odnosno, je li pretrpio stanovitu modifikaciju
ili se jedinstveno primjenjuje u svojoj punini. Naime, uočava se fenomen svojevrsnog konflikta interesa između imperativa zdravstvene skrbi lege artis i legitimnog interesa za postizanjem vrhunskog sportskog rezultata, koji naročito dolazi do izražaja kad medicinsku praksu obavlja tzv. timski liječnik sportske medicine. Antagonizirana pozicija ovih dvaju interesa tendira poremećaju ravnoteže u korist sportskog rezultata čime se faktično sužava optimalni opseg medicinskog standarda što per consequens može uzrokovati liječničku pogrešku. Liječnik sportske medicine, bez obzira na to je li u ugovornom odnosu sa
sportskom organizacijom kao tzv. timski liječnik ili pak nije, dužan je
postupati s pažnjom koja se traži za osobe koje pripadaju istom profesionalnom krugu, odnosno, prema standardu dobrog, a ne tek prosječnog stručnjaka, a povreda tako nametnutog profesionalnog standarda konstituira štetnu radnju s obilježjem protupravnosti u subjektivnom smislu.

The new possibility of methodology of sentencing in Croatia de lege ferenda – the new improved formula
Authors: Dragičević Prtenjača Marta
Published: May 2020

The inconsistent case law seems to be a relatively big problem because it affects confidence in justice and legal certainty. The background of this problem is process of sentencing. In Croatia there is no methodology for determining the punishment. Of course, the Croatian Penal Code has the norms which regulate the purpose of punishment and it, in some generic form, stipulates the circumstances which can be relevant for determining the punishment. However, it does not say anything about the process itself nor does it define the methodology to carry it out. During this process the court has to bear in mind the purpose of sentencing and the perpetrators guilt, in order for punishment to be proper and would correspond to the severity of the committed offense. Hence, as here is no methodology no one can be sure whether or not this process was lege artis. In that regard author give their proposition of possible solution to this matter. They are suggesting the introduction of non-mandatory ‘formula’ for sentencing into the Croatian criminal law system. The formula would now be improved
And more appropriate than the previous one. Author believe ‘the formula’ should contribute to the harmonization of case-law in Croatia and to the preservation of the principle of legal certainty and finally the rule of law. Similar solutions already exist in some countries. The Republic of North Macedonia, which incorporates the civil or continental
law system, introduced the special Law for the Determination of the Type and Duration of Sentence in 2015, while the United States have been
applying the Sentencing Guidelines since 1987.
The (dis)use of the golf landscape in Galicia through the most significant courses
Authors: Carballo-Pérez Sergio
Published: May 2020

In the decade of 1960, the first golf courses were built in Galicia. On the one hand, the Golf Club of La Coruña, whose shape is not compact and creates several loops of routes that provide a broad perimeter, a condition that is highly desired by developers. The designers are conditioned by the quantity and disposition of the houses, giving priority to the real estate performance and the views towards the course. They are inserted in the interstitial spaces derived from the morphological configuration of the course, and although a large part has not been built, it is possible to read the trace of the intentions on the landscape. Seven years later, La Toja Golf Club was born, a model of tourist golf where the design of the course prevails, the number of houses is much smaller and its degree of visual contamination towards the golf course is better treated. In the decade of the nineties, the tendency of the interventions that use the golf courses as a transforming element of the landscape in a real estate incentive is reflected in Galicia with the Ría de Vigo Golf Club, where soil movements have been important, terracing the terrain to generate several levels from which to glimpse the course. These operations are intensified in the first years of the new century in much of our country, while Galicia takes a turn towards a less invasive option: golf spas. Between 2000 and 2006 three courses are executed in Mondariz, Guitiriz and Augas Santas, with similarities in their logic of insertion: presence of a regulated accommodation (hotel) with a dominant position over the rest of the intervention; the topographic conditions of the support terrain are exploited; compact design without interstitial spaces.Thermal golf ushered in a new phase for Galicia, since the most important interventions of the following years moved away from the American format based on the theory of hedonic prices of the golf landscape for residential areas, betting on a more British intervention where the play areas, the natural protection and delimitation areas of the course and even the areas of pastures and adjoining crops are confused in a spatial continuity. In general terms, the foundations have been laid for a new culture of the territory in which there is no talk of a contrast between golf courses and landscape, but rather spaces of opportunity for landscape projects that can reactivate the heritage and cultural values of our society, so the golf landscape in Galicia is still in (dis)use.

Pandemic Balancing Acts: Early COVID-19 lockdown changes how Germans trade off lives and weigh constitutional powers
Authors: Tepe Markus , Vanhuysse Pieter , Jankowski Michael , Juen Christina-Marie , Erlbruch Florian
Published: May 2020

Has the COVID-19 pandemic caused early shifts in how citizens view constitutional power balances and policy tradeoffs? We conducted two survey experiments among 1192 Germans during the first week of lockdown. In a priming experiment, subjects were cued to think about the COVID-19 lockdown. While not affecting their ‘federal vs. state’ power balance preferences, this increased support for shifting power from parliaments toward governments. In a framing experiment, we traded a maximalist imperative for the state to take all measures to minimize casualties against long-term losses in economic wealth or civic freedoms. Support for this maximalist policy was somewhat lower when traded against freedom losses, but was unchanged among the youngest and oldest respondents. Support was substantially lower when traded against economic losses, especially among young respondents. These results document significant initial switches in mass preferences about democratic governance caused by the pandemic. They may also signal looming generational tensions.

Exploring the Nexus between Online Alcohol Posters and Alcohol Drinking among Kenya’s Higher Vocational College students
Authors: Malechwanzi Joseph
Published: May 2020

Alcohol drinking among young people is a major global public health concern. The situation has been aggravated further by the advent of the internet and subsequent development of social media as a tool for online alcohol marketing. Measures that aim at reducing substance abuse is a stride towards “2030 Agenda” for sustainable development goal number 3 set by the United Nation General Assembly. In this goal, attention is not only drawn to health and wellbeing but also to prevention and treatment of substance abuse. This descriptive study sought to find out the prevalence of alcohol advertisements on social media and its possible influence on alcohol drinking among Kenya’s higher vocational college students. Based on a field survey conducted in Nairobi (n=209), this study established that there was heavy presence of alcohol advertisements on social media scene in Kenya. Although statistically, there was huge gender disparity, the final results showed that there was significant association between alcohol ads on social media and college student’s possible alcohol drinking habits. This study concludes that there was heavy presence of alcohol ads on social media, and the likelihood of youth having unrestricted access to the alcoholic beverage products. This could have a far-reaching implication on their alcohol drinking habits. Therefore, the study recommends the stakeholders in public health promotions to formulate policies aimed at mitigating against the challenges posed by unrestricted access to online alcohol ads by the youth in order to prevent them from being lured into early alcohol drinking by the alcoholic beverage makers.　 Keywords: Alcohol abuse; Influence; Online ads; Youth; Kenya
Fieldwork in landscape ecology
Authors: Miller Jesse E. D. , Ziter Carly D. , Koontz Michael J
Published: May 2020

Fieldwork has played a critical role in the development of landscape ecology, and it remains essential for addressing contemporary challenges such as understanding the landscape ecology of global change. Advances in technology have expanded the scope of fieldwork to include the deployment of drones and other sensors, and in recent years, researchers have expressed concerns that traditional fieldwork (e.g., organismal observation) may be declining. Continuing to train the next generation of researchers in field methods should be a priority for landscape ecologists. Indeed, there is great potential for combining fieldwork with modern sensor data and computational approaches to advance the field of landscape ecology.
Crosslinguistic influence and L2 grammar learning: Close replications of Ellis & Sagarra (2011) and Tolentino & Tokowicz (2014)
Authors: McManus Kevin
Published: May 2020

Investigations of crosslinguistic effects in SLA have contributed rich understandings about the ways in which prior language knowledge and experience can influence additional language learning. Building on this work, one recent line of research has examined the extent to which SLA findings about crosslinguistic influence can be used to improve L2 learning, indicating that explicit instruction tailored to address the nature of the crosslinguistic learning problem can improve L2 learning. At the same time, however, this line of inquiry is relatively novel and under-researched. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to suggest further research which might advance knowledge and understanding about the ways in which explicit instruction can facilitate L2 learning of crosslinguistically difficult target features. To this end, I lay the ground for a series of replications designed to understand the role of prior language knowledge and experience in L2 learning: Ellis and Sagarra (2011) and Tolentino and Tokowicz (2014). These studies were selected because they are grounded in empirical SLA research and SLA theory. In addition, these studies facilitate replication because they have either (i) made their data collection materials available in digital repositories or (ii) have robustly described their design and provided the stimuli used.
Wise reasoning about the future is associated with adaptive interpersonal feelings after relational challenges
Authors: Peetz Johanna , Grossmann Igor
Published: May 2020

Two prospective studies examine how wise reasoning about an anticipated conflict interaction – intellectual humility, recognition of uncertainty and change, consideration and integration of different perspectives – is associated with interpersonal feelings and closeness to the interaction partner after the challenging interaction. In Study 1 (N = 243) and preregistered replication Study 2 (N = 234), participants who reasoned more wisely before an anticipated conflict interaction felt more positively towards and closer to the person involved in the conflict afterwards. We explored three avenues accompanying effects of wise reasoning about the future for interpersonal outcomes: conflict outcome, perception of the interaction as fair and satisfying, and sense of meaning in the conflict experience. Path models indicated that sense of meaning was a consistent factor accounting for the positive effect of prospective wise reasoning for relational well-being. We discuss implications for research on prospection, wisdom, and well-being.
Switching perception of musical meters by listening to different acoustic cues of biphasic sound stimulus
Authors: Kondoh Sotaro , Okanoya Kazuo , Tachibana Ryosuke O
Published: May 2020

Meter is one of the core features of music perception. It is the cognitive grouping of regular sound sequences, typically for every 2, 3, or 4 beats. Previous studies have suggested that one can not only passively perceive the meter from acoustic cues such as loudness, pitch, and duration of sound elements, but also actively perceive it by paying attention to isochronous sound events without any acoustic cues. Studying the interaction of top-down and bottom-up processing in meter perception leads to understanding the cognitive system’s ability to perceive the entire structure of music. The present study aimed to demonstrate that meter perception requires the top-down process (which maintains and switches attention between cues) as well as the bottom-up process for discriminating acoustic cues. We created a “biphasic” sound stimulus, which consists of successive tone sequences designed to provide cues for both the triple and quadruple meters in different sound attributes, frequency, and duration, and measured how participants perceived meters from the stimulus in a five-point scale (ranged from “strongly triple” to “strongly quadruple”). Participants were asked to focus on differences in frequency and duration. We found that well-trained participants perceived different meters by switching their attention to specific cues, while untrained participants did not. This result provides evidence for the idea that meter perception involves the interaction between top-down and bottom-up processes, which training can facilitate.
Exploring the influence of temporal factors on age differences in working memory dual task costs

Published: May 2020

Working memory is defined by many as the system that allows us to simultaneously store information over brief time periods while engaging in other information processing activities. In a previous study (Rhodes et al., 2019) we found that retention of serially presented letters was disrupted by the introduction of an arithmetic processing task during a 10 second delay period. Importantly, the magnitude of this dual task disruption increased with age from 18 to 81. The demands of each task were adjusted prior to dual task so that age differences did not reflect baseline differences in single task performance. Motivated by these findings, theories of working memory, and additional analyses of processing reaction times from this previous experiment, we report two experiments, using the same tasks and adjustment procedure, attempting to modulate the magnitude of age differences in dual task effects via manipulations focused on time for encoding to-be-remembered material. Providing a delay prior to processing activities, to facilitate switching between the two tasks, did not modulate age differences. Neither did separating the to-be-remembered material temporally, to allow for the creation of more distinct representations. These findings provide two replications of our initial finding and suggest that age differences in working memory dual tasking are not due to limitations in the speed of encoding.
Social, Cognitive, and Emotional Predictors of Adherence to Physical Distancing During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Gouin Jean-Philippe
Published: May 2020

Objectives. To identify targetable psychosocial predictors of adherence to physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic using theories of health behaviour change. Methods. Using a cross-sectional sample (N = 1003) representative of the population in terms of age, gender, and urbanicity in Quebec, Canada, we examined social, cognitive, and emotional predictors of adherence to physical distancing. Results. Individuals were more likely to report adhering to physical distancing if they believed it is their civic duty to adhere (injunctive personal norms), that physical distancing will benefit others and the broader crisis (perceived benefits for others), and if they perceive that other people are following these directives (descriptive social norms). In contrast, perceived personal risk and emotional factors were not significantly related to physical distancing. Moderation analyses revealed unique predictors depending on health risk status, essential workers status, and urbanicity.Conclusions. These results highlight the importance of health beliefs and perceived social norms in shaping responses to physical distancing directives, and offer insights into ways to frame public health communications for different segments of the population.
Detached empathic experience of others’ pain in remitted states of depression – an fMRI study

Published: May 2020

Background: Major depressive disorder is strongly associated with impairments and difficulties in social interactions. Deficits in empathy, a vital skill for social interactions, have been identified as a risk factor for relapse. However, research on empathy in remitted states of depression is scarce. We chose a social neuroscience approach to investigate potentially altered neural processes involved in sub-components of empathy in remitted states of depression. Methods: Employing functional magnetic resonance imaging and a pain empathy task, we compared behavioral and neural empathic responses of remitted depressive patients (N=32) to those of untreated acutely depressed patients (N=29) and healthy controls (N=35). Self-report ratings of pain evaluation and affect-sharing were obtained. Results: Compared to controls and acutely depressed patients, remitted depressive patients reported higher pain evaluation and showed increased activity in the right temporo-parietal junction. This region, which is central to self-other distinction and which has been linked to adopting a detached perspective, also exhibited reduced connectivity to the anterior insula. Furthermore, we observed reduced activity in regions involved in emotion processing (amygdala) and perception of affective facial expressions (fusiform face area, posterior superior temporal sulcus). Limitations: Insights are limited to empathy for pain. Conclusions: Remitted states of depression are associated with a detached empathic style in response to others’ pain, characterized by increased self-other distinction, lowered affective processing, and reduced connectivity between empathy-related brain regions. Although this may prevent emotional harm in specific situations, it may reduce opportunities for positive experiences in social interactions in the long run.
OCEANIC VERSES OF THE QUR’AN AND THEIR POINTERS TO TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS
Authors: Jandra Mifedwil , Anshori Anhar , Kholili H. M. , Rahman Arif
Published: May 2020

This article focuses first on the semantic aspects, ontology, and categorization of oceanic verses as revealed and found in 42 verses in the Qur'an and then on how sea verses are selected as guidance for technological solutions. This study aims to find out the phenomenon of the ocean in the verses of the Koran by offering alternative interpretations of several problems, including; fire / energy in the ocean; two oceans that do not blend; deep darkness of the ocean; sea boundary; oceanic layers; and the abundant wealth of the sea for humanity. The study uses method of interpretation of bir rakyi or interpretation within reason using the scientific method. Modern semantic scientific methods, ontology, and the categorization of verses are used for further understanding and create a framework for further study in developing a foundation for Islamic Marine Knowledge. The results of the study indicate that the disclosure of layers in the sea water column -as mentioned in the Koran- could be a blessing for Muslims to be inspired and guided to find more discoveries and benefits of this water layer phenomenon. The findings in the analysis of these marine verses are postulated as ancient revelations to the most significant challenges of modern civilizationsuch as direct solutions to food and energy security; health & medicine; transportation and mobilization of goods; environmental management; and the birth of the new discipline of the Islamic Ocean Knowledge. There are clues in these oceanic verses about technological solutions to the existing and future humanitarian problems, which ultimately Muslims can use this as divine guidance.
THE INTEGRATION OF RELIGION AND CULTURE IN THE PREPARATION OF A KING WITHIN BABAD NGAYOGYAKARTA HB IV-V (SB 169)
Authors: Wulandari Arsanti
Published: May 2020

Cross-cultural interactions are commonplace. The fact that Javanese people are very multicultural is one of the perfect examples. The text of Babad Ngayogyakarta Hamengkubuwana IV-V records this phenomenon. The text, a copy written in 1881CE (during HB VII period), is indeed an important cultural document. Bbd.Ngy.HB IV-V contains an account of the coronation of HB IV and stories how he and his successor (HB V) governed the kingdom. A close reading of this text gives an overview of how Javanese culture coexists in harmony with Islam. Islam is seen not only as a religion but also an identity that exists within the kings. However, Javanese culture is also irrevocable for Javanese leaders. The text said that the king (when he was still a teenager) must read the Qur'an everyday. This is referred to in the text with the word ngarbi that is interpreted as Arabic and refers to an Arabic letter (referring to the Qur'an). The king not only had to study the religion but also to read Javanese literary books, namely Babad Mentawis, Serat Rama, and Astabrata, all of which provide wisdoms by giving examples of archetypal behaviors and teachings for a king. Habituation with two these pillars side by side, religion and cultural traditions, in preparing the king shows the importance of character. Religion is a pillar that must be strong within a leader’s character, but he must not abandon the local culture of high value. The combination of the two pillars becomes the ideal character of a Javanese leader.
The Leadership Legacy of Commission Chairs: Building on and Extending a Comparative Study of Ten Canadian Commissions of Inquiry
Authors: Wallis Joe , Brodtkorb Tor
Published: May 2020

In 2014, Inwood and Johns analyzed the policy legacy of ten Canadian commissions of inquiry. This article extends that analysis by incorporating the policy legacy as one element of the leadership legacy of the commission chairs; the other two elements are the chair’s expressive legacy and fiduciary legacy. The expressive legacy can be that of a conservator, consolidator, entrepreneur, or catalyst, and the fiduciary legacy is determined by the commission chair’s respect for the norms and conventions of commissions of inquiry. Using the case studies from Inwood and Johns’ analysis of the commissions’ policy legacies, we ascribe expressive and fiduciary legacies to the chairs of the ten commissions. Through analysis of the relationships among the commissions’ policy legacies and the chairs’ expressive and fiduciary legacies, we explore the ways in which chairs’ conduct of the inquiry produce a leadership legacy for the chair.
Factor structure of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Australian Vietnam Veterans: Confirmatory factor analysis of the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM–5
Authors: Gilmour John , Romaniuk Madeline
Published: May 2020

Introduction: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM–5) brought a change to the symptom clusters of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In line with the DSM–5 changes, an updated version of the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS–5) was released. The CAPS–5 is considered to be the gold-standard measure of PTSD; however, examinations of the psychometric properties and optimal factor structure of this scale are underrepresented in PTSD studies. Methods: This study used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess the factor structure of the CAPS–5 using a sample of 267 male Australian Vietnam Veterans. Models drawn from the PTSD CFA literature were used to test the underlying dimensions of PTSD: the four-factor DSM–5 model, six-factor externalizing behaviour and anhedonia models, and seven-factor hybrid model. Results: The results found that the DSM–5 model showed slightly less than adequate fit (comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.90, Tucker–Lewis index [TLI] = 0.88, root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.064), however, other models showed acceptable fit. The anhedonia model provided a significantly better fit than the other models (CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.059). Discussion: Overall, the results supported the anhedonia model. This result may indicate that the underlying dimensions of PTSD in Australian Vietnam Veterans may best be represented by six distinct factors.
Disordered eating and military populations: Understanding the role of adverse childhood experiences
Authors: Cobb Erin L. , Lamson Angela L. , Steffey Coral , Schoemann Alexander M. , Didericksen Katharine W.
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and disordered eating are both common in military populations, yet research on their connection is limited. This systematic review aimed to analyze themes and gaps in the literature and offer recommendations for future research. Methods: Four databases were searched using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and Cooper’s approach to research synthesis, resulting in nine articles. Results: Research on ACEs and disordered eating in military populations tended to focus on participants who were Veterans, women, and white. All studies measured sexual abuse, and few explored relational or health outcomes. Discussion: Future research should include diverse samples, a comprehensive assessment of disordered eating, and a wider range of ACEs and other health and relational variables. The inclusion of these variables will contribute to a greater understanding of the far-reaching impact of ACEs on this population.

Introduction: This secondary analysis compared three groups of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members in their demographics and attitudes toward mental health care: those with a need who have sought help (help-seekers), those with a need who have not sought help (non-help seekers) and those with no current need (no-need). Methods: Data from the 2013 Canadian Forces Mental Health Survey, which included responses from 6,996 Regular Force and 1,469 Reserve Force members, was used. Several variables were applied to classify members according to mental health need and help-seeking status. Results: The three groups had distinct demographic profiles. In addition, results from a discriminant function analysis indicated group differences in attitudes toward mental health care. Help-seekers reported more negative attitudes toward acquiring mental health care for reasons that relate to stigma and career implications, while non-help seekers reported more negative attitudes toward mental health care that reflect a distrust of professionals and preference for self-management. Discussion: These findings suggest more can be done to further support help-seekers who report stigma and to support non-help seekers who may have attitudinal barriers to traditional care but may benefit from innovative care solutions.
Toward an improved hearing safety standard for impulse noise exposure in the Canadian Armed Forces
Authors: Nakashima Ann , Giguère Christian
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Current hearing safety standards for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) do not adequately address exposure limits for mitigation of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) from weapon noise. Recommendations for updating the hearing safety standard are being formulated by the recently initiated Noise Health Hazard Working Group (NHHWG). In this article, we aim to provide a way forward for the NHHWG. Methods: On the basis of experience with auditory research, noise measurement, acoustic standards development, interactions with CAF members, and a review of the literature, we present an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding impulse noise. The topics include impulse noise measurement, engineering and administrative controls for noise exposure, and use of personal hearing protection devices (HPDs). Results: Although technology for impulse noise measurements and ways to account for HPDs have improved substantially in recent years, not much has changed in hearing damage risk criteria. Energy-based metrics can account for the impulse duration and frequency-dependent characteristics of the HPD, which are important considerations in calculating allowed exposures. Discussion: The NHHWG is recommended to focus on measurements of current weapons systems in various configurations and training environments and to evaluate the use of energy-based metrics, together with frequency-dependent HPD insertion loss.
The Crisis of Religion Journalism: The Case of the Netherlands
Authors: Bosman Frank
Published: May 2020

In the contemporary world, professional religion journalism is under pressure. De-institutionalization, individualism, and secularism have caused a steep decline in journalistic knowledge about the phenomenon of religion (both as a praxis and a confession) and the relegation by the mainstream media of “the religious” to the realm of the exotic and of human-interest stories. At the same time, religion has come to play an increasingly important role (again) in Western society, as it has worldwide, but this is mostly valued in negative terms. In this article, the author contemplates this apparent paradox within Western journalism with the help of the situation of religion journalism in the Netherlands, a country very much in the epicentre of secularism. The author identifies five contexts that have contributed to this journalistic paradox: a political-social context, a meta-journalistic context, a scholarly philosophical context, a religious-philosophical context, and a religious-anthropological context.
“Wild Beasts of the Philosophical Desert”: Religion, Science, and Spirituality in a Post-secular Age
Authors: Cady Linell
Published: May 2020

This article explores the popular genre of “spirituality and science” against the backdrop of the dominant religion-secular-science classifications. Science has come to exemplify secularity in the modern social imaginary, clearly differentiated from, and often in a conflictual relationship with, religion. The power and prestige of techno-science, tightly linked to the narrative of modern secular progress, helps to secure its claims to capturing what is real and true—over against religion that has increasingly lost traction on claims to the real. This article explores some representative figures in the genre of science and spirituality, considering the aims, dominant themes, and authorizing strategies of their writings. I argue that this largely grassroots movement challenges the dominant meanings and relations among religion, secular, and science in its quest to articulate an integrated vision. It turns to new scientific thinking, including quantum physics and biological sciences, and mystical experience to articulate an empirically grounded, and scientifically inflected and supported, spirituality. Through a series of cases, I show the variety within this popular genre that is challenging both traditional religion and modern secular science. Developing the optics, vocabularies, and sensibilities to make sense of these proliferating hybrid cultural formations remains a fundamental challenge.

Schooling system must provide high quality learning opportunities to meet the educational needs and ensuring achievement for every student. All teachers monitor their students’ progress throughout the year, includes formative assessment, questioning, providing feedback, etc. This practice helps teachers continually assess students’ academic performance and evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching. In this paper, k-means clustering method with deterministic model is used to analyze the student's overall performance. The results is important for educators to identify students who are at risk academically and areas where teaching strategies may need adjustment to better meet these students' needs.
Acid Concentration: A Pre-requisite to Enhanced Metal Dissolution?

Technological advancement over the past decade has dramatically changed with new players such as China taking lead in information-technology and telecommunication market across the world. This development has seen surge in manufacturing industry output and consequently raw materials consumed by the sector. The environmental impact is however evident due to human interference with nature. E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream posing serious risk to fauna and flora due to numerous associated pollutants. In recycling industry, hydrometallurgy is widely adopted to recover metals from e-waste. Despite growing concern over secondary pollution associated with disposal, concentrated aqua regia is widely used to extract metals from e-waste. An ultrasonic bath enhanced dilute-acid leaching method was developed to recover copper and lead from waste mobile phone PCB. Repeatability and reproducibility showed 5.3% and 5.0% with respect to Cu while 9.8% and 6.3% RSD were recorded for lead. LOD and LOQ of 0.02 µg/g and 0.064 µg/g (Cu) and 0.082 µg/g and 0.312 µg/g (Pb) revealed that the method is suitable for dissolution of target metals from PCBs. Copper concentration of 332.98 mg/g recorded inferred that dilute aqua regia as much as concentrated has promising metal extraction power and thus could replace concentrated acids.

The growing concerns about global warming and depleting petroleum reserves have made scientists/researchers focus more on the use of natural fibres such as Maize cob, bagasse, coir, sisal among others. About 180 kg of cobs are obtained from each ton of maize shelled which has little utilization or no utilization. This study utilizes maize cob from SAMMAZ-14 maize variety for the extraction of nano cellulose using Chemico-mechanical method. Alkaline hydrolysis was performed with 5% NaOH for 4hrs with MLR of 1:10. Ball milling was done for 5 hrs with BMR of 30:1. The extracted nanocellulose were characterized by thermal characterization (TG and DTG), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy Disperse X-ray (EDX) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), which confirmed the extracted Maize cob nano fibres (MC-NF) were in nano scale ranging from 1-100 and 1-200nm in diameter and length respectively. Thermal analysis showed MC-NF has more thermal stability than untreated maize cob (MC-UT) whose degradation was initiated at lower temperature with higher charred formation. Morphological studies showed MC-NF has spindle like structures while the untreated maize cob (MC-UT) is plain due to high amorphous portion on the cellulosic structure.
