Legal Mobilization in the Field of Asylum Law: a Revival of Political Opportunity Structures?

Increasingly, we see collective actors in the field of asylum in Europe turn to litigation as the preferred strategy to attain their goals, which is a form of legal mobilization. Both at the national and European level, non-governmental organizations (NGO) are active in high-profile cases. These NGOs operate in a different national political and legal system, but do have similar European-level opportunities. Next to that, current literature suggests a possible relevance of organizational factors, such as resources, to explain the use of these legal mobilization strategies. By looking at NGOs with different levels of legal mobilization in two national contexts, a cross-case comparison is made in this article to explain what external and/or internal factors are relevant in making NGOs ‘turn to the courts’. This article draws on empirical data to establish what drives four NGOs from Italy and the Netherlands to mobilize the law. This data is compared to existing literature on legal mobilization to show a potential revival of a theory that has been left behind over the last years: research on Political Opportunity Structures. This strand of literature emphasizes the importance of possibilities, constraints and threats at the (national) political level that drives NGOs in their strategy choice.

Published: December 2023

Objective:

Little is known about the experience of first-time child life clinical rotation supervisors. The purpose of this study is to explore the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of these individuals using qualitative research methods.

Method:

During a semi-structured interview, 13 participants were asked about their experience supervising an intern for the first time; qualities, skills, and experiences needed in a clinical rotation supervisor; and resources and trainings provided to support supervising an intern for the first time.

Results:

Participants identified certain competencies they felt were important for clinical rotation supervisors to display, including the ability to put child life knowledge into practice and effective communication skills, while recognizing that formalized training is needed to further develop competencies and, overall, help first-time clinical rotation supervisors feel better prepared for their role. Related to their individual experience, participants expressed a desire to contribute to the next generation of Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS). Participants recalled feeling nervous and often expressed feeling unprepared to step into the role even when seeking support from multiple outlets in varying formats. The participants acknowledged that a training program would be beneficial in preparing new clinical rotation supervisors, as well as in standardizing the internship experience for students.

Conclusion:

The perspectives offered by the first-time clinical rotation supervisors emphasized the need for accessible, standardized training for this role, as well as for various supports throughout the supervision (e.g., continued learning opportunities, support from colleagues, and meeting time with child life educators/managers).

Review of materials, functional components, fabrication technologies and assembling characteristics for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) – An update
Authors: DAYA Arun , SAMSON NESARAJ Arputharaj
Published: December 2023

Fuel cells use electrochemical processes to transform the chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy, which is a key enabler for the shift to an H2-based economy. Because of their high energy conversion efficiency and low pollution emissions, fuel cells with polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMFCs) are regarded as being in frontline of commercialization for the transportation and automotive industries. However, there are two major hurdles to their future commercialization: cost and durability, which promote basic study and development of their components. In this article, we reviewed the materials, functional components, fabrication technologies and assembling characteristics related to PEMFCs. Platinum's significance as a catalyst in PEMFC applications stems from the fact that it beats all other catalysts in three critical parts: stability, selectivity, and activity. In order to create Pt rich surfaces of NPs, Pt metal is alloyed with d-block metals like Cu, Ni, Fe, and Co. PEMFC development is inextricably tied to the benefits and drawbacks of the Nafion membrane under various operating circumstances. Nafion membrane has some drawbacks, including poor performance at high temperatures (over 90℃), low conductivity under low humidification, and high cost. As a result, a variety of nanoscale additives are frequently added to Nafion nanocomposites to enhance the material's properties under fuel cell working conditions. Fiber composite based bipolar plates can deliver best performance. The assembly of PEMFC based on strap approach is being explored. The applications of PEMFC are also projected.

Published: December 2023

In recent research, a fascinating exploration delved into the intricate relationship between social stigma, perceived social support, and life satisfaction among women who experienced delayed conception. The study included a diverse sample of 105 females drawn from various regions of Sialkot. To assess these critical dimensions, the researchers employed the Stigma Scale and Discrimination (DISC), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Employing a cross-sectional research design with a quantitative approach, the data was meticulously collected and analyzed. Notably, the results demonstrated a negative correlation between social stigma and perceived social support (r = -.303**, p < .01), underlining the profound impact of social support in alleviating the stigma associated with delayed conception. Furthermore, the study revealed a significant negative correlation between social stigma and life satisfaction (r = .415**, p < .01), highlighting the detrimental influence of stigma on overall life satisfaction. Conversely, there was a positive correlation between life satisfaction and perceived social support (r = .312**, p < .01), emphasizing the beneficial role of social support in promoting a greater sense of life satisfaction among these women. The findings of this study unveiled an intriguing role for social support as a mediator in mitigating the adverse effects of stigma while simultaneously enhancing life satisfaction in women who faced challenges in conceiving.
Effect of nonaversive and aversive stimulations in infancy on the acoustic startle response in adult rats
Authors: Nonaversive Effect , Rats Aversive
Published: December 2023

Two groups, each consisting of 8 three-week-old rat pups, were exposed to different behavioral treatments with the aim to determine how the experimental manipulation influenced their adult emotional reactivity. Every day for two weeks the pups from the first group received 15 min of handling whereas the animals from the second group were exposed to various aversive stimuli, differing each day. Following these manipulations, after as-day break the acoustic startle response (ASR) was measured in all animals and the testing was repeated after another four weeks. Statistical analysis of the data revealed significant differences between groups in the ASR parameters. Surprisingly, in the test which directly followed the treatment the mean ASR amplitudes were similar in both groups. Highly significant differences, however, were observed in the ASR amplitude four weeks later. The rats from the handling group responded with greater amplitudes. The latency of the ASR was significantly shorter in the nonaversive group compared with the second group exposed to aversive stimuli. The results suggest that early exposure to aversive stimulation significantly decreases rats emotional reactivity whereas nonaversive and impoverished stimulation clearly elevates arousal levels when the animal is placed in a novel situation.

Rats were subjected to incomplete cerebral ischemia induced by occlusion of common carotid arteries for 30 min, and subsequent reperfusion for 15 min. The concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were determined in the dorsal hippocampus in order to evaluate their changes during ischemia and reperfusion following ischemia. The depletion of GSH was observed during ischemia with a further depletion during post-ischemic reperfusion (P
Immediate plasticity of identifiable synapses in the land snails Helix lucorum
Authors: Sokolov Evgeni , Palikhova Tatiana
Published: December 2023

The data presented concern synaptic plasticity arising during neuronal response to a single sensory stimulus. The plasticity was studied in identifiable synapses between sensory and command neurones of Helix lucorum using simultaneous intracellular recording. A brief mechanosensory stimulation evoked a train of spikes in an identifiable visceral sensory neurone. Interspike intervals within the train changed from short (tens ms) to long (s). Each spike elicited an elementary EPSP in an identifiable command neurone. The amplitude of elementary EPSPs varied during a train of action potentials. Initial high frequency depression was followed by posttetanic potentiation and subsequent low frequency depression. The result of integration of the three plastic processes has been named immediate plasticity. It has been shown that a compound EPSP elicited in a postsynaptic command neurone by a single sensory stimulus depends on the immediate plastic changes of elementary EPSPs.
Effects of the anterior temporal lobe lesions, separate or combined with hippocampal damage, on spatial delayed responses guided by auditory stimulus
Authors: Kowalska Danuta
Published: December 2023

Seventeen dogs were trained in a three-choice auditory spatial delayed response task, guided by auditory stimulus, at a l0 s delay to a criterion of 90% correct responses in 90 consecutive trials. Four dogs then received bilateral anterior temporal lobe lesions (AT), 6 dogs received hippocampal lesions (H), and 7 dogs served as controls (C). Group C reached postoperative criterion immediately while groups AT and H needed additional training. When subsequently tested at longer delays and with distractions, the group H animals performed more poorly than either the AT or C animals. Further, the group H dogs were again impaired when they retrained at a l0 s delay. In the second phase, the group H and AT animals received a second lesion forming a group (HAT) with bilateral lesions to both the hippocampus and the anterior temporal lobe. Unexpectedly, dogs from group HAT were unimpaired in either postoperative retraining or during performance task and distractions. The results emphasize the importance of the hippocampus in spatial delayed response with an acoustic cue. Effect of combined lesions after extensive training is discussed. Data might support the view, that the hippocampus plays time limited role in memory storage.
Oscillatory cortical activities in the gamma band in the human EEG induced by visual stimuli - ­representation of the stimulus?
Authors: Müller Matthias
Published: December 2023

The present work presents three experiments investigating cortical activities in the gamma band in humans. On the basis of theoretical models and animal experiments, synchronized oscillatory neuronal activity is discussed as the key mechanism by which the brain binds information processed in different cortical areas to form a percept. Using an identical stimulation design - the same as used in animal studies - it was shown that induced gamma band responses in the EEG resemble the same features as those found in the intracortical recordings of animals. In addition, the present work demonstrates that these cortical activities are not higher harmonics of the alpha band and that they are sensitive to the features of the stimulus. These results support the notion that gamma band activity is not just a by-product of neuronal activity and that alpha- and gamma band activies most certainly represent different cortical functional states.
In vitro recorded theta-like activity in the limbic cortex: comparison with spontaneous theta and epileptiform discharges
Authors: Konopacki Jan , Gołębiewski Henryk , Eckersdorf Barbara , Kowalczyk Tomasz , Bocian Renata
Published: December 2023

The generation of EEG theta rhythm in the mammalian limbic cortex is a prime example of rhythmic activity that involves central mechanisms of oscillations and synchrony. This EEG pattern has been extensively studied since 1938, when Jüng and Kornmüller (1938) demonstrated the first theta recordings in the hippocampal formation of rabbits. In 1986 in collaboration with Drs. B.H. Bland, S.H. Roth and B.M. MacIver we demonstrated for the first time that bath perfusion of hippocampal slices with the cholinergic agonist, carbachol, resulted in theta-like oscillations. Since this initial demonstration of in vitro theta-like activity, we have carried out a number of experiments in an attempt to answer the basic question: what are the similarities between cholinergic-induced in vitro theta-like activity and theta rhythm which naturally occurs in the in vivo preparation. Thus far, our studies have provided strong evidence that theta-like activity recorded in vitro shares many of the physiological and pharmacological properties of theta rhythm observed in vivo. The question whether in vitro theta-like oscillations reflect features of epileptiform activity is also addressed in this review.

Published: December 2023

Beta-adrenoceptor binding sites were characterized in duck cerebral cortex by an in vitro binding technique, using 3H-dihydroalprenolol (3HDHA) as a receptor-specific radioligand. The specific binding of 3HDHA to duck cerebral cortical membranes was found to be rapid, stable, saturable, reversible, and of high affinity. Saturation analysis resulted in a linear Scatchard plot suggesting binding to a single class of receptor binding sites with high affinity (Kd = 1.18 nM) and high capacity (Bmax = 162 fmol/mg protein). Competition studies showed the following relative rank order of potency of various compounds to inhibit the 3HDHA binding: antagonists ­ICI 118,551 > S(-)-propranolol >> betaxolol, yohimbine, WB-4101, prazosin, mianserine; agonists - isoprenaline approximately equal to fenoterol> salbutamol >> clonidine, phenylephrine. The obtained data suggest that in duck cerebral cortex beta-adrenergic receptors (like those described in brains of chick and pigeon) are of the beta2 subtype. This is in contrast to what has been reported for the mammalian brain, where - among beta-adrenoceptors - the beta1 subtype is predominant.

Gene expression in learning processes
Authors: Kaczmarek Leszek
Published: December 2023

It has repeatedly been shown that long-term memory formation involves neuronal gene expression. In this article several different roles for neuronal gene function in a context of learning are considered: maintenance of neural functioning, replenishment of cellular elements that are exhausted in response to massive neuronal stimulation accompanying behavioral training, maintenance of the plastically reorganized neuronal connections, and finally integration of information at the level of transcription factor-promoter interaction. It is strongly advocated that only careful scrutiny of learning-related gene expression phenomena may aid in understanding of the complex learning process.
Expectation of an important event affects responses to irrelevant stimuli of different modalities
Authors: Michalski Andrzej
Published: December 2023

Periodic alterations of event-related potentials (ERPs) were studied during "oddball" tasks. Sequences of randomly intermixed frequent (non-target) and rare (target) stimuli were presented. In visual experiments, these were flashes of light of two different colors. In auditory tests there were two tones of different frequencies. The instruction was to keep a mental count of each target stimulus. To study the alterations of the "state of the brain" produced by target detection, responses to non-targets immediately following targets were compared with responses to an eighth subsequent non-target stimulus. To evaluate the effect of such "brain states" on responses to stimuli of a different modality, additional visual stimuli (probes) were delivered after both auditory and visual "oddball" stimuli. It was found that responses to the eighth presentation of non-target stimulus were preceded by significant negative shift of recorded potential. This shift was smaller before the responses to non-targets immediately following the presentation of target stimuli. The difference was significant both in auditory and visual tests. Responses to "oddball" stimuli were little affected: only the reduction of P200 peaks in "after target" responses was significant in visual tests. Responses to probes showed stronger effects: when visual probes followed visual "oddball" stimuli, all three components measured (N100, P130 and P200) were shifted positively in responses to eighth presentations of non-targets. When visual probes were presented in auditory tests, only the amplitude of the N100 component was significantly affected.

Published: December 2023

A ocupação humana no Cerrado, que remonta a cerca de 11 mil anos com povos nativos, como os Caiapós e Xavantes, inicialmente respeitava a biodiversidade do bioma. No entanto, a expansão do agronegócio nas últimas décadas levou a uma perda significativa do Cerrado e ao deslocamento das populações tradicionais. O Cerrado é uma região biogeográfica crucial no centro do Brasil, com uma rica biodiversidade e diversos tipos de vegetação, incluindo formações florestais, savânicas e campestres. É também um importante corredor ecológico que faz fronteira com outros biomas, como a Amazônia e o Pantanal. No entanto, o Cerrado enfrenta ameaças sérias, com 75% de sua biodiversidade em perigo de extinção devido à expansão do agronegócio. Além disso, desempenha um papel crucial na recarga de bacias hidrográficas essenciais, como a do Rio São Francisco, mas está sofrendo com a manipulação devido à agricultura intensiva. A modernização da agricultura no Cerrado, com a introdução de sementes transgênicas e agrotóxicas, resultou em transformações significativas na paisagem, incluindo o desmatamento, a mudança de comunidades tradicionais e a mudança no ciclo de chuvas. A produção de commodities, como soja e milho, é impulsionada pelas políticas governamentais e pelo mercado internacional, causando uma pressão sobre o recurso hídrico. A região do MATOPIBA, composta por estados como Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí e Bahia, é uma área de grande expansão agrícola e desmatamento. Em resumo, o Cerrado enfrenta sérios desafios ambientais devido à expansão do agronegócio, desmatamento, contaminação da água e mudanças climáticas. A preservação deste bioma é crucial para a recarga hídrica do Brasil e requer ações imediatas para conter os impactos ambientais.
Adjusting to a changing world while sticking to principles. International Labour Organization responses to the challenges facing social protection systems in the 21st century
Authors: Hagemejer Krzysztof
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The paper analyses – basing itself on reports and other documents created by different parts of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) – the process which led to the adoption of Social Protection Floor Recommendation No. 202 and the shift in focus of social policy advice towards basic protection and to the Global South countries. We look at the actions of different actors which shape the standard setting and policy stand of the organisation.Objective: To provide a comprehensive analysis of the historical trajectory of ILO social security standards, examining the evolution of principles, conventions, and the global dynamics that have shaped the organization's approach to social protection over time.Materials and methods: The methods include examining ILO documents, relevant subject literature, and the author's participant observations from over twenty-years of service in the ILO's Social Security Department, aiming to provide insights into the decision-making processes within the organization.Conclusion: We conclude that change was brought by: 1) shift in the membership of the ILO and of its decision-making bodies towards the increased presence and powers of representatives from countries of the Global South, 2) the shift in the global development community policy priorities towards poverty reduction, 3) emergence of experimental social assistance schemes in Global South countries, with designs often ignoring principles embedded in the ILO standards.The Social Protection Floor Recommendation complements previous standards in response to the challenges of widespread poverty and informality and spreading atypical forms of employment. It provides two directions of policy responses: 1) formalizing informal employment relationships and 2) expanding universal or targeted rights-based social assistance schemes.Assistance provided by ILO to member states focuses now more on building the non-contributory schemes and on identifying the fiscal space necessary to close the coverage gaps. Nowadays, the ILO must collaborate more than before with other development partners and the main challenge is to build among them awareness and acceptance of the principles of the ILO social security standards.

Thus, the problem that gave rise to the featured article was: Is the educational advisor the main or supporting actor in the school space? Thus, a precise analysis of the theoretical framework composed by Chalita (2005), Grinspum (2003), Lück (2001), Pimentel (2006), Urbanetz (2008), among others, was carried out to support and substantiate this work. With this framework, the development of the work was elaborated through an exploratory - qualitative approach.Coming to the conclusion, based on the context presented, that one of the challenges currently presented to this professional is to find support outside the school, to carry out the work of rescuing the student from the world of drugs, social and family violence, factors that influence the school environment. It is an arduous task, but not impossible for this education professional.
The pibid and the management of the school: “Implementation gap”?
Authors: Cavalcanti Paula Arcoverde
Published: December 2023

This work aims to understand how the management of the public institution of Elementary School II could contribute to the occurrence of the "implementation gap" in the PIBID-GEO subproject in the period from 2016 to 2018. Based on Public Policy Analysis and the Policy Cycle as a virtually constructed analytical tool, the debate revolves around the moment of implementation as an uninterrupted process that may suffer some kind of problem caused by the street-level bureaucrats. This is a qualitative research developed through direct end unsystematic observation during the period in which the activities of the subproject were developed and, it was observed, that the maneuvers performed by managers due to their discretion did not collaborate with the implementation process, making it difficult for PIBID-GEO to be effectively "materialized" at the level of the educational institution.

Authors: Kholiq Abdul , Purnomo Heri
Published: December 2023

At this time globalization has penetrated the dynamics of human life and brought changes that essentially point to the problem of unbalanced regulation of human life in law and a sense of human justice. In everyday life we often hear people demanding justice, because they feel they have received unfair treatment. This can occur between citizens and the government, or perhaps also between individuals and their groups or because there are differences in the fulfillment of personal rights and so on. Justice is closely related to attitudes and relationships with fellow human beings because justice demands that every human being be treated as they are done. The problem is How is the nature of law and justice related to the philosophy of law and How is the form of justice pursued by judges? The method used in writing this paper is normative juridical, which is an approach based on law as the main material, the research specification used is descriptive analytical, which is research that aims to provide an overview of justice in Indonesia. While the data sources are secondary and primary data through primary field studies used as supporting data or supporting secondary data. From the research, the results were obtained: The nature of law and justice is very relative, because from which side we look at it there is a negative that law and justice are something that is not heavy after there are also those who say that justice is not necessarily found with field results and the form of justice in this case can be done by judges and rulers by trying to comply with laws and regulations and a sense of public justice, but judges are ordinary human beings who can make mistakes. Mistakes can occur due to inadvertence and can also be made can arise from people who are deliberate, this is what will plunge humans. True justice is the justice of Allah SWT.
PRESIDENTIAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM STRENGTHENING THROUGH A PARTY SYSTEM SIMPLIFICATION (A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE INDONESIAN PARTY SYSTEM AND THE UNITED STATES PARTY SYSTEM)
Authors: Paramesthi Fajar Ni Made Anggia
Published: December 2023

Presidential system refers to a system of government in which the executive is not accountable to the legislature. The consequence of such as system is that the executive and legislature do not influence each other and are not influenced by each other. The basis of power of the executive is back to the people as the ultimate power holder. Hence, in accordance with the amendments to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the president is the head of state as well as the head of government assisted by a representative who is directly elected by the people. The people determine the election of a president and vice president and determine the (re-)election of a president and vice president for a second term. In practice, however, the implementation of this system of government is not in accordance with what has been mandated by the constitution

Biosafety and biosecurity encompass the intersection of bioengineering and biotechnology, along with the evaluation and control of risks to human, animal health, and the environment. This link encompasses the danger created by research and its use, as well as research and application to reduce risk via bioengineering and biotechnology. High-level biosafety laboratories provide a secure and reliable setting, integrating robust containment measures, well-educated staff, and precise biosafety protocols to safeguard scientists from infections while working with microbial pathogens. Simultaneously, they prevent the accidental release of these pathogens into the surrounding environment. In recent decades, there has been the construction and operation of labs with different tiers of protection, the establishment of legal regulations and a laboratory biosafety management system, and these functional labs have played a crucial role in addressing newly emerging and recurring infectious diseases. This review article offers useful insights into the complicated environment of biosafety and biosecurity at both the national and international levels. It advocates for more international cooperation among states, organizations, and stakeholders to ensure the effective implementation of biosafety and biosecurity measures, fostering a safer and more secure global biotechnology landscape.

Authors: Kuji-Shikatani Keiko , Campbell-Patton Charmagne , Rowe Wendy
Published: December 2023

Identifying essential competencies for evaluators has received significant attention in recent years yet practical examples of how to apply competencies to real-time learning in complex environments are lacking. In particular, the experience of those at the local level - ultimate beneficiary individuals (UBIs) - can get lost when evaluations take a systems perspective. Experienced evaluators share how Learning as we go is used to describe utilization-focused developmental evaluation embedding evaluative thinking and building capacity in public sector programs, that support learning and adaptation to improve the lives of those most impacted by inequitable and unsustainable global systems.
