Judicial Ethics: A Key Tenet to Legal Ethics
Authors: Achode Lydia
Published: December 2022

Judicial ethics are arguably one of the most important aspects of legal ethics Values of legal ethics such as decorum, dignity, courtesy, and rationality that were emphasized by the late but still foremost scholar of professional legal ethics, Deborah Rhode, readily apply to the judicial context.. Related to these values, judicial ethics ensures that three important attributes or three ‘Is’ characterise the judicial process and the conduct of judicial officers: independence, impartiality and integrity. Adherence to these three principles of judicial ethics is key in securing the administration of justice, professional discipline in the judiciary, and public confidence. This article therefore takes the view that the competence of judges not only includes their academic qualifications but their possession of qualities necessary to fulfil the three Is and other standards of ethical judicial conduct. Moving from this understanding, the article analyses how judicial ethics, as a derivation of legal ethics, shapes the role of judges and, further, how Kenya’s Judicial Service (Code of Conduct and Ethics) Regulations integrates established principles of judicial ethics. From this analysis, the author argues that judicial ethics are inseparable from judicial competence and that Kenya’s Judicial Service (Code of Conduct and Ethics) Regulations effectively reflect the necessary principles of judicial ethics. Thus, continued enforcement of the judicial Code of Conduct and Ethics is essential to safeguarding judicial ethics in the Kenyan judiciary.

Authors: Chalco Vania Virginia , Mamani Sánchez Beatriz
Published: December 2022

Adesmia miraflorensis Remy, más conocida como añahuaya, ayacaulli o añawi, que es una especie nativa que tiene una gran importancia biológica, pero con cada gestión agrícola se ven más reducida las poblaciones debido a la expansión de la frontera agrícola. Hasta el momento no se tiene información referente a la propagación in vitro de esta especie. El presente estudio se determinó el porcentaje germinación y la descripción morfológica del proceso de germinación hasta la formación de la plántula en condiciones in vitro. De esta forma facilitar información que puede ser utilizada en proyectos de propagación y conservación y revegetación de esta especie. Las semillas previamente desinfectadas fueron sembradas en dos diferentes medios de cultivo que son Chu et al. (1975) y MS (Musashige y Skoog, 1962), por cada medio de cultivo se tenía 250 repeticiones. Al cabo de 15 días de las semillas de A. miraflorensis Remy presentaron un alto porcentaje de geminación en ambos medios, en Chu et al. un 97% y en MS un 92% de germinación. De acuerdo a la descripción morfológica se caracterizó 4 etapas y se observó que muchos individuos no superan la etapa 3 (E-3) llegando a registrase Chu et al. con un 23% y en MS 10%. En cuanto a las medidas morfométricas las semillas tenían un diámetro de 1.16 mm y de largo 3.35 mm.

Factors in tourists’ food decision processes: a US-based case study
Authors: González Angel F. , Curtis Catherine , Washburn Isaac J. , Shirsat Abhijeet R.
Published: December 2022

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to empirically test an existing conceptual model from Mak et al. (2012a, 2012b) to discern which factors have the most influence on food choices when travelers visit destinations with different options, i.e. local foods, other than those available in their home environments.

Design/methodology/approach

The quantitative study surveyed 330 travelers and used descriptive analyses of all the variables involved. A hierarchical linear regression was calculated to predict for the dependent variable of local cuisine consumption, based on the independent variables of culture and religion, socio-demographic factors, motivational factors, food trait personality and exposure effect/past experience.

Findings

Culture, motivational factors and food-related personality traits were consistently significant predictors of local food consumption.

Research limitations/implications

Limitations include using an English-only online questionnaire and self-reported bias. The impacting delimitation relates to data collection from US travelers and thus limiting generalizability findings.

Practical implications

The study explained factors involved in travelers’ decision to consume local foods at a destination. Government, tourism-related organizations, producers and service providers gain information to improve products, increase interest, create additional employment opportunities, increase tax revenues that assist local communities and increase consumption of local foods, products and services.

Originality/value

The limited availability of research on this topic prompted the interest of the researchers. Mak et al. (2012b) provide a conceptual model that was first tested empirically in this study. It presents a five factors impacting tourist food consumption at a destination. Local food consumption of tourists was tested using the aforementioned conceptual model.

Di madrasah/sekolah, selain prestasi belajar dalam bentuk nilai rapor dan prestasi akademik lainnya, perlu juga diperhatikan nilai-nilai sikap spiritual dan sikap sosial yang baik. Maka sepatutnya madrasah mempertahankan nilai-nilai keagamaan yang berimplikasi pada akhlaq siswa siswi. Madrasah semenjak dahulu telah menerapkan pendidikan yang mengedepankan akhlaq, yang dalam bahasa kurikulum 2013 adalah sikap spiritual dan sikap sosial. Berawal dari madrasahlah mata pelajaran agama mendapatkan porsi yang lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan sekolah umum lainnya, dan di madrasah pula lah setiap siswa-siswi  serta warga madrasah lainnya sikap-sikap menjadi perhatian dan hal penting dalam sebuah proses pembelajaran

Sepatutnyalah di era kurikulum 2013 ini madrasah lebih unggul dari sekolah umum lainnya dalam hal penerapan sikap baik sikap spiritual maupun sikap sosial. Kurikulum 2013 memberi kemudahan dari sisi penilaian aspek-aspek sikap, dengan dibuatkan panduan sebagai alat penilaian sikap. Madrasah hendaknya lebih mendalam memperhatikan hal-hal yang berkenaan kondisi siswa secara pribadi, karena tingginya prestasi akademik sebaiknya sejalan dengan tingginya nilai sikap merek

Authors: ÖZASLAN Ahmet , ÖZBUDAK Pınar , KARACA CENGİZ Şefika Nurhüda , GENİŞ Bahadır , İŞERİ Elvan
Published: December 2022

Objective: There is little research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of children with cerebral palsy (CP). The primary aim of this study is to determine the level of anxiety and depression in children with CP during the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary aim is to examine the relationship between perceived social support, depression and COVID-19 anxiety levels of parents of children with CP and anxiety and depression symptoms in children with CP. Material and Methods: Data were gathered by snowball sampling method using an online survey. Depression and anxiety levels of children with CP were evaluated via Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Parent (RCADS-P). Depression, corona anxiety, and perceived social support levels of parents of children with CP were evaluated with Beck Depression Scale for Primary Care, Corona Anxiety Scale (CAS), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, respectively. The Pearson correlation test was employed to assess whether or not there was an interconnection amongst continuous variables and different independent samples under consideration. Total Anxiety Scale, Major Depressive Disorder and Total Internalizing Scale sub-dimension scores of the RCADS-P were evaluated as dependent variables according to the groups in the multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The sample covered 102 children (61, %59.8 boys) with CP and their parents (67, %65.8 mothers). Predictors of the anxiety symptoms of children with CP, in order of importance, were the parents’ corona anxiety total score (β=0.324, p=0.003) and the parents’ depression total score (β=0.266, p=0.025). Only the parent’ CAS total score predicted the depressive symptoms of children with CP (β=0.365, p=0.001). Conclusion: Coronavirus anxiety of the parents was found to be the strongest predictor of anxiety and depression symptoms in children with CP. These results suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the mental health needs of both children with CP and their parents.

Authors: ÖZDEMİR Hülya , ARTAÇ Hasibe
Published: December 2022

Objective: Congenital hematological disorders are frequently observed in Down syndrome (DS). In this study, we aimed to investigate peripheral blood-derived inflammation biomarkers such as neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, and eosinophil/monocyte ratio in patients with Down syndrome. Material and Methods: Ninety-eight patients with karyotypically ascertained DS and 103 healthy controls were included. All subjects were divided into three age groups: 0-2 years (34 patients, 34 controls), 2-6 years (32 patients, 33 controls), and >6 years (32 patients, 36 controls). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data between June 2010 and December 2021 were written from the file records from the pediatric allergy and immunology department. Results: Lymphocyte, eosinophil, and EMR were found to be significantly lower in children with DS compared to controls in group 2 (2-6 years) and group 3 (>6 years). PLR was found to be higher in children with DS in group 2 and group 3. There was no statistically significant difference between DS and controls in group 1 (6 years), there was a statistically significant difference between DS and controls in terms of lymphocyte, eosinophil, PLR, and EMR variables (P>0.05). Conclusion: We found significant differences among lymphocyte, eosinophil, PLR, and EMR in patients with DS. As a result, these parameters should be evaluated carefully for clinical outcomes.
Unobserved Potential: Latent Variables and Music Education Research
Authors: Shaw Brian P.
Published: December 2022

This article describes several latent variable approaches that can support rigorous quantitative inquiry in music education. I provide a definition of latent variables, list several advantages associated with their use for the measurement of constructs, and review three types of latent variables featuring utility for music education scholars: factor models, item response models, and latent class (mixture) models. Each type of model is illustrated with exemplar studies from music education literature. In addition, I report the results of a systematic analysis of latent variables’ use in published music education research. Over the past decade, latent variables were used in only 14.29% of the quantitative research reports in two prominent journals: the Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education and the Journal of Research in Music Education. The majority of these latent variable applications (80.56%) were factor models; however, there are myriad additional possibilities. While not appropriate for every study, latent variable models have as-yet unrealized potential to improve the richness and rigor in nearly all areas of music education research.
“What you look hard at seems to look hard at you”: Metaphysics and the Poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins
Authors: Sansom Dennis L.
Published: December 2022

Gerard Manley Hopkins once said, “What you look hard at seems to look hard at you.” This phrase not only encapsulates the central emphasis of Hopkins’s poetry but also suggests a proper relationship between philosophy and art. The aesthetic experience of artworks can provide pivotal experiences for metaphysical interpretations, and I attempt to show that Hopkins’s poetry gives such a foundational and informative experience for philosophical investigations. Hopkins develops his poetic expressions based on what he calls the ability of language to inscape and ingress profound experiences of reality. The metaphysics of Duns Scotus in which the particular embodies or transubstantiates the universal underlies these ideas and inspires Hopkins to write poetry. My point is not to say that a philosopher can offer the true meaning of Hopkins’s poetry and that, once we get the philosophical meaning, we can dismiss the poems. Rather, Hopkins’s poetry presents the kind of experiences that a philosopher can use to make meaningful metaphysical interpretations of the world.
On the State of Dance Philosophy
Authors: Carter Curtis L.
Published: December 2022

What are Eric Mullis’s contributions to a pragmatist philosophy of dance? First, the work brings attention to aspects of dance in regional and religious contexts and to a selection of religious dance practices (Pentecostal and Quaker) not typically addressed in the literature of dance philosophy, thus adding to the current scope of dance studies. This book’s main strength with respect to pragmatist philosophies is its efforts to apply existing theories of pragmatism (James and Dewey, with commentary on Shusterman’s neopragmatist somaesthetics) to aspects of dance in a particular regional setting. This task is accomplished with three aspects of the research: ecological study of Pentecostal dance, pragmatism in a selection of its manifestations with connections to philosophies of dance, and performance. In the final chapter, the scope is broadened with summary references to alternative theories of dance philosophy and their interdisciplinary relations to dance studies using pragmatist philosophies. The remainder of this essay examines selection of past and current studies that inform the state of dance philosophy with the aim of gathering a broader perspective on the state of dance philosophy. While there is no established long-term tradition of dance philosophy, a generation of twentieth-century scholars—Cohen, Arnheim, Sparshott, Goodman, Van Camp, Banes, Carroll, McFee, Foster, and Fraleigh, among others—has advanced recent philosophical discussion of dance. Joining these are contemporary writers on philosophy of dance, such as Anna Pakes.
The Temporary Homes: Analyzing Baseball Facilities in the United States Pre-1903
Authors: Seifried Chad , Pastore Donna
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of professional baseball facilities in America from 1850 to 1903 and to identify those instances and conditions of modernization that changed those structures. The information provided demonstrates baseball facilities started out as simple open fields with little or no standardized territories hosting unsophisticated and spontaneous ball games. Next, standardized rules of play prompted baseball facilities to form into small, hastily constructed but temporarily open competition areas that separated participants from spectators. Baseball facilities further evolved into complex temporary enclosed structures to improve spectator experiences and maximize revenues for sport entrepreneurs. However, semi-permanent professional baseball superstructures emerging toward the end of the nineteenth century failed to match the ever-increasing maturity of baseball, its growing stakeholder groups and their concerns, or utilize the improvements offered by available technology.
Runners, Rumors, and Reams of Representations: An Inquiry into Drug Use by Athletes in the 1920s
Authors: Vettenniemi Erkki
Published: December 2022

Stimulants and other performance-enhancing drugs were by all accounts popular among athletes in the 1920s. This article revolves around the Finnish Olympic champion Paavo Nurmi, his German rival Otto Peltzer, and a 1927 drug slur that engulfed the two of them. While the slur had apparently no factual basis, the two athletes were equally keen on perfection, but only Peltzer has been persistently associated with drugs. As a case study of two runners and the conflicting ways the drug issue has been represented, the article is an invitation to approach drug-related claims with caution and, conversely, from the athletes’ perspective. The International Amateur Athletic Federation formally prohibited doping, or the use of stimulants “not normally employed” in 1928, but the ruling was ambiguous enough to let curious athletes experiment with a host of drugs to improve their performance.
Running with the Masses: A History of the Clydesdale Movement
Authors: Chase Laura Frances
Published: December 2022

The historical development of weight-based divisions in distance running is often referred to as the Clydesdale movement. Articles from the mainstream running media, as well as interviews and archival materials from key figures in the Clydesdale movement, document the development of weight divisions in distance running. A brief history of distance running in the United States provides context for the Clydesdale movement, including the early days of weight divisions promoted by Joe Law of Baltimore, followed by the creation of other East Coast groups and the concurrent development of a strong, independent Clydesdale movement in Chicago. The challenges encountered by the leaders of the Clydesdale movement, including the struggle for acceptance in mainstream races and the conflict between regional groups aiming for national dominance, are also explored.
The United States of America and the Francophone African Countries at the International Olympic Committee: Sports Aid, a Barometer of American Imperialism? (1952-1963)
Authors: Charitas Pascal , Kemo-Keimbou David-Claude
Published: December 2022

In 1952, the new American president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Avery Brundage, was confronted by the emergence of the Third World. This new development challenged the influence of the American and Soviet blocs. On June 6, 1962, the Committee for International Olympic Aid (CIOA) was created. The objective of this new institution was to lead the newly-independent African countries into the Olympic movement and to assist in the development of their sports institutions. The aim of this article is to analyze American policies towards the CIOA, in light of the independence process in the francophone countries of sub-Saharan Africa between 1952 and 1963. From the concept of power, we attempt to show the extent to which American sports aid within and outside the IOC constitutes a barometer of American cultural imperialism. For this purpose, we make use of a large corpus of archives, derived mainly from the Olympic Studies Centre in Lausanne, and the records of French cooperation over the period in question.
Making Surf Media in Brazil: Social Agents and the Organization of Surfing in the 1980s
Authors: Fortes Rafael
Published: December 2022

In this article I explore the discourses of those social agents who established a niche surf media in Brazil in the 1980s. The niche surf media played a crucial role in organizing and commercializing surfing in Brazil, and I examine the social, economic, and political spaces in which the agents of this media operated and worked to create and maintain dedicated surfing television shows, radio programs, magazines, and newspapers. My analysis draws primarily on oral sources and interviews with the key individuals who produced the niche surfing media in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. As well as delving into the concept of social memory, I identify the main factors that contributed to the various successes (and failures) of different niche surfing media outlets—insider surfing knowledge, media acumen, ability to attract and hold advertisers—and I reveal something of the conditions of media production. Historians of sport have largely overlooked the latter that producers themselves often conceal and that are not easily discernible from looking at the final products.
“Sculpting George Foreman”: A Soul Era Champion in the Golden Age of Black Heavyweights
Authors: Smith Andrew R.M.
Published: December 2022

The most consistent aspect of George Foreman’s life has been his willingness to change. Yet with regard to Foreman’s early career, scholars have fixated only on snapshots of the flag-waving gold medalist at the 1968 Olympics, the surly heavyweight champion at the “Rumble in the Jungle” in 1974, or the gregarious pitchman for an eponymous kitchen appliance in the 1990s. These images, however, were not as important to the history of prize fighting as his process of transition in the early 1970s. Borrowing heavily from Soul Era popular culture to reinvent his public image allowed Foreman to interject himself into the sport’s greatest rivalry between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali and initiate a series of mega-matches in exotic locales that ultimately became the hallmark of this “Golden Age” for black heavyweight boxers.
Failure Is Not an Option: Sport Documentary and the Politics of Redemption
Authors: Oates Thomas Patrick
Published: December 2022

With the growth of sport documentary, the biographical profile has become an increasingly prevalent form of meaning making around sport. This essay develops a critical approach to the genre by engaging two examples produced by ESPN Films that profile a failed National Football League (NFL) player: The Best There Never Was and The Marinovich Project. It engages Judith Halberstam’s concept of the “queer art of failure” and adapts it to racialized, hyper-masculine sport as a possible strategy for resistance. In doing so, it considers how the production of popular history through sporting “failures” can challenge dominant ideas about the NFL and its sociopolitical implications.
Assimilationist Athletics: Indian Boarding Schools, Sports, and the American Empire
Authors: Tardif Cameron
Published: December 2022

When Richard Henry Pratt founded the Carlisle Indian Boarding School in 1879, his goal was to civilize Indigenous bodies. In doing so, the school implemented a series of forceful measures including language training, Western-style dress, hair cutting, and, perhaps uniquely, sports. At the same time that Carlisle was collecting children from across the continent, the United States was expanding territorially: Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines, Hawai’i. As many scholars have noted, the United States was becoming an imperial force. Like Pratt’s students, those who fell within the American imperial network were exposed to sports as a mechanism of control. While there is extensive work on both the relationship between sport and empire, as well as the use of sport within the Indian Boarding School system of the 1870s to the 1910s, there is a dearth of historiographical work that puts the two into conversation with each other. By exploring the domineering effect that sports had in the Indian Boarding School network and contextualizing it within the larger arc of sports in American Empire, this article expands the conceptual framework of sport and empire in order to paint a more complete picture of the consistency and significance with which imperial governments imposed athletics in various geographies.
Study on the Impact of FDI on Environmental Pollution in Hebei Province
Authors: Wei Huanhuan , Zhou Yating
Published: December 2022

In recent years, with the further development of economic internationalization, the scale of foreign direct investment continues to expand, and the pace of free flow of global funds is further accelerating. At the same time, FDI has also had many positive effects on the host country, including leading scientific and technological level and leading enterprise management skills. However, at the same time, the impact of foreign direct investment on China's economic development environment has attracted more and more attention. The "pollution paradise" hypothesis points out that foreign direct investment has a serious impact on the natural environment of the host country, while the "pollution halo" hypothesis points out that foreign direct investment has also produced a certain improvement effect on the natural environment of the host country. Based on some data of Hebei Province from 2010 to 2020, this thesis selects FDI, the proportion of tertiary industry and trade openness in Hebei Province as explanatory variables, and selects the intensity of environmental pollution in Hebei Province as explanatory variables. Then through three research methods, the first is literature research, data analysis and empirical analysis. Through the above research methods, this thesis analyzes the impact of FDI on environmental pollution, summarizes and finds that FDI can improve environmental pollution in Hebei Province, and finally puts forward some feasible suggestions.

Design and Implementation of a Cloud-Based Load Monitoring Scheme for Electricity Theft Detection on a Conventional Grid
Authors: Abdullateef Ayodele , Sulaiman Abdullah , Issa Abdulkabir , Zakariyya Sikiru
Published: December 2022

Electricity theft is one of the problems - encountered by the utilities - that leads to losses of revenue. Manual monitoring of the consumers’ activities which shows the energy data consumed on the conventional grid has largely contributed to electricity theft on the grid. Significantly, the energy meter deployed to monitor the load cannot store and transmit energy data in real-time. This has made electricity theft on the grid unnoticed. This paper presents the development of a monitoring scheme for an electronic meter on the conventional grid with the capability to monitor, store and transmit consumers’ energy data to the cloud. It consists of two units: the indoor and the outdoor unit. Energy data is transferred wirelessly between the units via the Wi-Fi modules. The outdoor unit compares the data and transfers the outcome to the ThinkSpeak cloud server. The transferred energy data can be accessed in real-time from the cloud or downloaded in comma-separated values format for further use. In order to verify the functionality of the proposed scheme, two scenarios of electricity theft - partial bypassing and full bypassing - are carried out. The obtained results show that the scheme can detect the theft and log the data to the cloud successfully.
Comparative Assessment of PID, Fuzzy Logic and ANFIS Controllers in an Automatic Voltage Regulator of A Power System
Authors: Abdulla Shwan
Published: December 2022

A comparative study and performance analysis of three different controllers - namely proportional-integral-derivative (PID), PD-like fuzzy logic and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) - utilized to control the output voltage of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) of a power system are carried out. The obtained results show that the PID controller is capable of rejecting simultaneous disturbance signals effectively with zero steady-state error (SSE). However, it is not robust to unexpected parameter changes of the system. On the other hand, the fuzzy logic controller shows the ability to resist changes in the system parameters. Nonetheless, it exhibits both an increase of 12.5% in the SSE and fluctuations in disturbance rejection test. On the contrary, the ANFIS controller shows: i) superior performance and ii) robustness to disturbance signals and changes in the system parameters compared to the other two controllers. For these reasons, we believe that utilization of an ANFIS controller will not only promote safety, but also reliability of the AVR in power systems.

Authors: n Ercan , Pergel Ahmet
Published: December 2022

This study presents to evaluate patients with malignant or operated for benign reasons in terms of the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey which is an endemic region of Goiter. Within the scope of the study, 460 patients over the age of 18 who applied to the RecepTayip Erdoğan University Training and Research Hospital General Surgery Outpatient Clinic between January 2013 and July 2016 and underwent total thyroidectomy or hemithyroidectomy for benign or malign reasons were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, TSH values of the patients, preoperative (preop.) Thyroid or neck ultrasonography (USG) reports, thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) results, and pathological/morphological examination results were evaluated. 352 of 460 patients were women (76.5%) and the mean age of all patients was calculated as 52.2 (± 11.39). 70 cases (18%) non-diagnostic cytology, 104 cases (26.8%) benign cytology, 59 cases (15.2%) atypia of uncertain significance, 61 cases (15.7%) suspicion of follicular neoplasia/neoplasia, 78 cases (20.1%) were suspected of malignancy and 16 cases (4.1%) were detected as malignant cytology. While malignancy was diagnosed histopathologically in 248 of 352 female patients who were operated on (70.5%), malignancy was detected in 81 of 108 male patients (75%). The most common thyroid papillary microcarcinoma (51.5%) was observed in histopathological examination. While tumor diameter was <1cm in 53% of patients, the multifocality was detected in 57.3%. When comparing the results of patients who underwent thyroidectomy in our city, and its surroundings where is an endemic goiter region, with the results in the literature, it showed heterogeneity, and our study was found to be above the rate of malignancy in the histopathological examination of Turkey and the world average.
