On the Use of NLDAS2 Weather Data for Hydrologic Modeling in the Upper Mississippi River Basin
Authors: Qi Junyu , Wang Qianfeng , Zhang Xuesong
Published: May 2019

Weather data are the key forces that drive hydrological processes so that their accuracy in watershed modeling is fundamentally important. For large-scale watershed modeling, weather data are either generated by using interpolation methods or derived from assimilated datasets. In the present study, we compared model performances of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), as driven by interpolation weather data, and NASA North American Land Data Assimilation System Phase Two (NLDAS2) weather dataset in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB). The SWAT model fed with different weather datasets were used to simulate monthly stream flow at 11 United States Geological Survey (USGS) monitoring stations in the UMRB. Model performances were evaluated based on three metrics: coefficient of determination (R2), Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient (NS), and percent bias (Pbias). The results show that, after calibration, the SWAT model compared well at all monitoring stations for monthly stream flow using different weather datasets indicating that the SWAT model can adequately produce long-term water yield in UMRB. The results also show that using NLDAS2 weather dataset can improve SWAT prediction of monthly stream flow with less prediction uncertainty in the UMRB. We concluded that NLDAS2 dataset could be used by the SWAT model for large-scale watersheds like UMRB as a surrogate of the interpolation weather data. Further analyses results show that NLDAS2 daily solar radiation data was about 2.5 MJ m−2 higher than the interpolation data. As such, the SWAT model driven by NLDAS2 dataset tended to underestimate stream flow in the UMRB due to the overestimation in evapotranspiration in uncalibrated conditions. Thus, the implication of overestimated solar radiation by NLDAS2 dataset should be considered before using NLDAS2 dataset to drive the hydrological model.
Triclosan Alters Microbial Communities in Freshwater Microcosms
Authors: Clarke Alexandra , Azulai Daniella , Dueker M. Elias , Vos Michiel , Perron Gabriel G.
Published: May 2019

The effect of triclosan on microbial communities that are found in soil and sediments is well documented. However, little is known regarding the possible effects of triclosan on microbial communities that are present in the column of freshwater streams as the antimicrobial is released from sediments or from water sewage outflow. We show that a concentration of triclosan as low as 1 ng/L decreases richness and evenness in freshwater microbial communities growing in the water column while using controlled experimental microcosms. Crucially, the decrease in evenness that was observed in the microbial communities was due to the selection of bacteria commonly associated with human activity, such as Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Rhodobacter, as opposed to an increase in Cyanobacteria, as previously suggested. Finally, our results demonstrate that higher concentrations of triclosan comparable to heavily polluted environments can also impact the overall phylogenetic structure and community composition of microbial communities. Understanding the impact of triclosan on these microbial populations is crucial from a public health perspective as human populations are more often exposed to microbial communities that are present in the water column via recreative use.
A Statistical–Distributed Model of Average Annual Runoff for Water Resources Assessment in DPR Korea
Authors: Ri Tongho , Jiang Jiping , Sivakumar Bellie , Pang Tianrui
Published: May 2019

Water resource management is critical for the economic development of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), where runoff plays a central role. However, long and continuous runoff data at required spatial and temporal scales are generally not available in many regions in DPRK, the same as in many countries around the world. A common practice to fill the gaps is to use some kind of interpolation or data-infilling methods. In this study, the gaps in annual runoff data were filled using a distributed runoff map. A novel statistical–distributed model of average annual runoff was derived from 50 years’ observation on 200 meteorological observation stations in DPRK, considering the influence of climatic factors. Using principal component analysis, correlation analysis and residual error analysis, average annual precipitation, average annual precipitation intensity, average annual air temperature, and hot seasonal air temperature were selected as major factors affecting average annual runoff formation. Based on the water balance equation and assumptions, the empirical relationship for runoff depth and impact factors was established and calibrated. The proposed empirical model was successfully verified by 93 gauged stations. The cartography of the average annual runoff map was automatically implemented in ArcGIS. A case study on the Tumen River Basin illustrated the applicability of the proposed model. This model has been widely used for the development and management of water resources by water-related institutes and design agencies in DPRK. The limitation of the proposed model and future works are also discussed, especially the impacts of climate changes and topology changes and the combination with the physical process of runoff formation.
Robustness and Water Distribution System: State-of-the-Art Review
Authors: Jung Donghwi , Lee Seungyub , Kim Joong Hoon
Published: May 2019

The resilience of a water distribution system (WDS) is defined as its ability to prepare, respond to, and recover from a catastrophic failure event such as an earthquake or intentional contamination. Robustness (ROB), one of the components of resilience, is the ability to maintain functionality to meet customer demands. Recently, the traditional probability-based system performance perspective has begun to shift toward the ROB and system performance variation point of view. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of WDS ROB-based approaches proposed in three research categories: Design, operation, and management. While few pioneering works have been published in the latter two areas, an ROB indicator was proposed and thoroughly investigated for WDS design. Then, some future works are recommended in each of the three domains to promote developments in WDS ROB. Finally, a brief summary of this paper is presented, from which the final conclusions of the state-of-the-art review and recommendations are drawn. The new paradigm of WDS ROB-based design, operation, and management is in its infant stage and should be carved out in future studies.
The Need for an Interdisciplinary Field of Hate Studies
Authors: Stern Kenneth S
Published: May 2019

Hate is a normative part of the human experience. Look at history. Regardless of when, where, under what economic or political system, what major religion is followed, or any other variable, people have always had the capacity to define someone else as an “other,” and hate him, often with deadly results.
The Social Psychology of Hatred
Authors: Harrington Evan R
Published: May 2019

Hatred has not typically been a topic of research in the field of social psychology, although several components which embody hatred have been studied extensively in this field. Social psychologists have traditionally considered prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination and intergroup aggression to be highly important and socially relevant topics for research, and thousands of studies by social psychologists have examined these and other issues related to hatred. There are three primary approaches social psychologists have utilized in studying prejudice and intergroup aggression. The first approach may be thought of as a general model of social influence in which a variety of situational factors have been found to increase, or decrease, laboratory subjects’ proclivity to engage in stereotyping or aggressive behavior. Particular types of situations may promote hatred, such as when individuals in mobs behave in ways they ordinarily would not. The second approach might be termed an interpersonal attitude approach, in the sense that individuals are measured in the degree to which they hold attitudes corresponding to authoritarianism and social dominance, which in turn relate to social hostility and prejudice. This approach, popular in the 1950s and 1960s, fell out of favor during the past quarter century, and is currently experiencing a revival of interest by researchers. The third approach focuses on social cognition or the way in which humans perceive the social world in a biased manner due to limits on the brain’s information processing capacity. The social cognition approach in turn gave rise to social categorization theory and social identity theory, both of which describe important aspects of intergroup processes that explain outgroup derogation and discrimination. Each of these three approaches describes aspects of what we may commonly think of as hatred.
Teaching a General Education Course on Hate Crimes: Challenges and Solutions
Authors: Gerstenfeld Phyllis B
Published: May 2019

Almost ten years ago, I began teaching a course on hate crimes. This course was originally created as an upper division elective for undergraduate Criminal Justice majors. In the years since, the course has been adapted slightly so that it now serves to satisfy our General Education “Multicultural” requirement. The course is a popular one—in the fall of 2003, I had 62 students—and one I enjoy teaching. However, teaching this course has also presented several challenges. In this paper, I describe some of the challenges I have faced, as well as the approaches I have taken to meeting these challenges. I also briefly discuss what I believe are some of the primary benefits of offering this class.

White Nationalism Revisited: Demographic Dystopia and White Identity Politics
Authors: Gardiner Steven L
Published: May 2019

Two stimuli, both dating to 2002, drove me to write this paper. The first (and by far the more visceral) was my attendance at the biannual conference of American Renaissance (AR)- the flagship publication of the sector of the American far right considered herein. The conference was held in Washington, D.C. suburb of Herndon, Virginia, and it reflected this demographic. It was attended by some 250 mostly well-dressed, mostly middle-aged white men-along with a smattering of women-a number of whom held advanced degrees of one flavor or another. There is nothing too surprising in this: the ignorant redneck stereotype of the racist right has always been more hopeful polemic than reality.
Do Unto Others: Extraordinary Acts of Ordinary People
Authors: Kraft Robert N
Published: May 2019

In short, altruistic behavior is voluntary, unrewarded helping of another, with heroic altruism including a high degree of risk or self-sacrifice. Do Unto Others tells us that altruism begins in infancy as an innate predisposition and is nurtured in a healthy relationship with one’s parents. The concentric influences of peers, school, community, and society reinforce and expand the young person’s altruistic qualities, which can then become internalized “normocentric” values. To realize the force of these normocentric values, consider the reaction of two communities to the treatment of Ryan White, the courageous teenager who contracted AIDS from a transfusion of blood in the mid-1980s. When his disease became known, Ryan’s home town of Kokomo, Indiana ostracized him. Students harassed him in the hallways and on the sidewalks, parents withdrew their children from school, and school officials barred him from attending classes. Ultimately, Ryan left Kokomo and moved to Cicero, Indiana, where the townspeople and the students and teachers in his high school welcomed him and his family warmly.
Images of Slavery in the early Church: Hatred Disguised as Love?
Authors: Flint-Hamilton Kimberly
Published: May 2019

The Ardoyne neighborhood is not a place a tourist would want to visit. Its streets today are the front lines of what some would classify as a religious holy war, and are the regular backdrop for violent scenes of masked demonstrators, burning cars, and heavily armed soldiers and riot police. Guard towers, walls topped with barbed wire, armored cars, and helicopters are part of daily life in this area, but this neighborhood is not in the Middle East. Rather, it lies far to the north in Belfast, Northern Ireland, part of industrialized Western Europe. Here, row upon row of run-down brick tenements intertwine in a rusted-out, crumbling, crime-ridden tumor in the north end of the city. The people who live here are largely poor, unemployed, inadequately educated, and suffer from widespread drug and alcohol addictions. All of these ingredients create a dangerously volatile mix, but what makes the Ardoyne a particularly tense place is that its streets have been divided and subdivided between Catholic and Protestant zones, and the slightest provocation can become the spark that sets off an explosive chain-reaction of communal violence.

Esta investigación tiene como objetivos analizar la anomia, deficiencias y contradicciones existentes en la Constitución mexicana y en la legislación laboral, en loconcerniente a los conflictos de seguridad social. La investigación de tipo documental y teórica-descriptiva, apoyada en la teoría de los ámbitos de validez de lanorma de Hans Kelsen, expone como principales problemas la falta de reconocimiento constitucional de las controversias de seguridad social y su equívocaregulación en la legislación laboral bajo el procedimiento de naturaleza especial. Por supuesto, fue fundamental el análisis de las iniciativas de reforma quese han propuesto con la finalidad de crear la normatividad secundaria que reglamente la judicialización de la justicia laboral aprobada en 2017.Desde el punto de vista metodológico, la investigación requirió de la consulta de fuentes especializadas en derecho laboral, derecho de la seguridad social y teoría del derecho bajo el amparo de los métodos deductivo y comparado, nos permitieron concluir que los conflictos laborales y los conflictos de seguridad social deben regularse de manera independiente en la ley laboral y en las leyes de seguridad social respectivamente, encomendándose su tramitación y resolución a organismos especializados en esas materias pues, a pesar de formar parte del derecho social, sus ámbitos objetivos, subjetivos y normativos son diversos; además, de tener instituciones propias y responder a necesidades disimiles que hacen necesaria una regulación procedimental acorde con su naturaleza y principios jurídicos.
La Prueba como derecho; Fundamentos y Características Constitucionales en Colombia
Authors: Ruiz Jaramillo Luis Bernardo
Published: May 2019

La prueba como derecho, fundamentos y características constitucionales en Colombia trata de la figura constitucional del derecho del justiciable a presentar pruebas y en controvertir las que se alleguen en su contra. Se parte de proponer una caracterización y unos contenidos de este derecho a partir de los valoresconstitucionales; los cuales comprenden dos tipos de contenidos, uno de tipo epistémico y otros ético-políticos (la justicia, la libertad y la igualdad). Por su fundamento y posición en la Constitución Política la prueba se constituye en un derecho fundamental, pues no solo se basa en tales valores sino también en el Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos con la garantía del testigo. No obstante, en la doctrina constitucional colombiana, como se desprende de este estudio documental y dogmático, se hace la inclusión del derecho a la prueba en el debido proceso. El inconveniente de esta inclusión es que se genera un sesgo de atribución para el derecho a probar ya que puede verse cercenado en sus contenidos y garantías de efectividad, como: la valoración racional probatoria, las garantías de prestación institucional y económica de la prueba, o los mecanismos extraprocesales de aseguramiento; componentes estos que no son propios del debido proceso.

One benefit can be applied to agriculture, namely the internet, from things to monitor agricultural ecosystems and can be used as a reference for farmers in making decisions. This system is designed so that farmers can know the parameters of determining soil membranes, temperature, pH and watering and liquid fertilization are used to influence the growth of tomato plants, and facilitate farmers in relation, implementing this system can minimize crop recovery caused by weather factors, reduce nutrition , etc. Through the implementation of this support system, farmers are expected to produce tomatoes that are better and more suitable for consumption by the community. System testing and placement is carried out in a greenhouse where in several measurement parameters such as in the air and pH must be in accordance with the ideal level of tomato plant data, the optimal data level is between 60% -80% so it is not too dry for water, 24- 28 degrees Celsius, and pH is stable 5-6. The results of the humidity sensor readings showed good results considering the average error of 1.19%, the pH sensor with the linear regression calibration method with the equation to find the pH namely X (pH) = (330.46-Y (ADC)) / 45.49 the results obtained are quite accurate if the test error is 1.59%, while the temperature sensor tests the average error in the unit time test which is 0.92%. While testing the entire system obtained various results depending on the test obtained by the unit time for 24 hours, but tomato plants that have quite ideal results while those that are valued at 30% - 80% for soil moisture, and> 5.5 - 7.2 for pH .

Les grenats biréfringents des skarns à magnétite de San Leone (Sardaigne SW)
Authors: Verkaeren Jean
Published: May 2019

The various types of optical anomaly observed in the garnets of the San Leone deposit are discribed and two main anomalies distinguished. One corresponds to the well-known sector twinning : the other consists of lamellae, alternately isotropic ans anisotropic, parallel to the crystal faces.

The mineralogical literature on this problem, including experimental results on the synthesis of birefringent garnets, is then reviewed.

An electron microprobe study on some San Leone specimens reveals a chemical Fe³⁺/Al zonation corresponding to the lamellae anomaly.

A genetic interpretation is proposed whereby the anisotropy is related to strain induced in the crystals by oscillation of the physico-chemical conditions during their growth.

Les gisements de mercure sont fréquents dans la Zone Cantabrique. Ces minéralisations sont localisées dans des niveaux stratigraphiques allant du Précambrien au Carbonifère, et sont en relation avec des fractures tardi-hercyniennes.

Dans les inclusions fluides aqueuses d'une fluorite antérieure au cinabre (La Cabaiia), l'homogénéisation se produit à des températures comprises entre 120 et 160 °C, avec des salinités de 7-14 % eq. NaCl. Les inclusions fluides piégées dans des minéraux contemporains du cinabre (quartz, fluorine, blende, calcite), provenant de différentes minéralisations, montrent que les solutions minéralisantes présentaient des salinités moyennes à fortes (10-23 % eq. NaCl) et des températures d'homogénéisation comprises entre 100 et 150 °C.

A partir de données géologiques, paragénétiques et microthermométriques, ces gîtes peuvent être rapprochés du type "Altai-Sayan" défini en U.R.S.S.

Des chaînes parallèles à l'axe c sont formées par des octaèdres (Fe,Al)O6, liés entre eux par des paires de tétraèdres PO4. Des ponts hydrogène symétriques entre des tétraèdres lient les chaînes dans la direction [100]. L'atome de plomb est entouré par dix oxygènes à des distances de 2,27 à 3,45Å (force de liaison de 0,65 à 0,03).

Cette description est faite en prenant a>c, le groupe spatial étant P21/a. Les positions atomiques imposent le choix d'une maille avec l'angle β aigu pour la datolite et l'herderite afin de rendre les structures comparables. Les différences entre ces structures (nombre de types tétraèdres, présence éventuelle d'un cation octaèdrique) sont discutées.

Reprise du type d’Éloi à Moussy (Seine-et-Marne) au nom du monétaire Wandelegiselo
Authors: Pol Arent , Crinon Pierre
Published: May 2019

A ‘ new’ approach of Merovingian numismatics is advocated. Bringing together all known specimens in a database is a conditio sine qua non for more in-depth studies on groups of mints in a larger area. This enables contextualising products of mints or moneyers in the national phase of Merovingian coinage (and may also be the way to tackle the problem of the pseudo-imperial series). Combining die-studies with data on gold content are most promising for establishing more detailed chronologies and re-constructing the rythm of emissions, whilst for gaining a reliable idea on their size it is necessary to strive for ‘ completeness’. Here an example is presented in the case of two moneyers that worked in the small mint of Moussy, example mainly of the disclosure of ‘ new’ material (since the number of coins involved is too limited for statistical usage) and the incoporation of a new variety in the existing series.
Intertype evolution of the Black Dog composition in Robert Plant’ musical legacy
Authors: Paliy Iryna
Published: May 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of Led Zeppelin’s composition Black Dog and its compositional and performing versions. This musical material is a good example of the interaction of music in fundamentally different areas – rock music and ethnic music of Africa. Initially having related directly to rock music, the Black Dog composition in the 21st century became the object of numerous author interpretations that transformed this composition into an ethnic format. The article traces the process of such a transformation over a long period and reveals a definite pattern. The degree of interaction of the elements of the musical language of two different areas is increasing towards the predominance of the ethnic field in the most recent versions of the composition. To determine the degree of mixing ethnic and rock music, expressive means are differentiated in three levels: intonation, timbre and composition.

Maize is currently the single raw material of bio-ethanol production in Hungary. The aim of our examinations is the observation of yield andnutritional characteristics of commercial maize hybrids in Hungary from the aspect of efficient bio-ethanol production. We set up a randomized block field trial. We determined the starch content and starch yield (t ha-1) of the 51 maize hybrids involved in the field trial.In laboratory conditions, we examined the amylose and amylopectin ratio and the amount of resistant starch of the selected 20 maize hybrids.According to our results, there is a significant difference between the starch yield the amylose component of the starch content and resistant starch of the examined maize hybrids. Our studies reveal that maize as a raw material must be selected based on the cultivation objectives. If the objective is bio-ethanol production, detailed knowledge of starch content is necessary. There is a significant difference among commercial maize hybrids in Hungary in terms of characteristics determining the producible amount of bio-ethanol.

Imaging and printing in plastic and reconstructive surgery part 2: emerging techniques
Authors: Chae Michael P , Hunter-Smith David J , Rozen Warren M
Published: May 2019

Background: In the second of a two-part series, we evaluate emerging three-dimensional (3D) imaging and printing techniques based on computed tomography angiography (CT) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for use in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Method: A review of the published English literature dating from 1950 to 2017 was taken using databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE®, Web of Science and EMBASE.
Results: Image-guided navigation systems using fiducial markers have demonstrated utility in numerous surgical disciplines, including perforator-based flap surgery. However, these systems have largely been superseded by augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies with superior convenience and speed. With the added benefit of tactile feedback, holograms also appear promising but have yet to be developed beyond the prototypic stage. Aided by a growing volume of digitalised clinical data, machine learning (ML) poses significant benefits for future image-based decision-making processes.
Conclusion: Most studies of image-guided navigation systems, AR, VR, holograms and ML have been presented in small case series and they remain to be analysed using outcomes-based validation studies. However, together they illustrate an exciting future where clinicians will be armed with intuitive technologies for surgical planning and guidance.
Imaging and printing in plastic and reconstructive surgery part 1: established techniques
Authors: Chae Michael p , Hunter-Smith David J , Rozen Warren M
Published: May 2019

Background: An increasing number of reconstructive surgeons are using modern imaging technologies for preoperative planning and intraoperative surgical guidance. Conventional imaging modalities such as CT and MRI are relatively affordable and widely accessible and offer powerful functionalities. In the first of a two-part series, we evaluate established three-dimensional (3D) imaging and printing techniques based on CT and MRI used in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Method: A review of the published English literature dating from 1950 to 2017 was taken using databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE®, Web of Science and EMBASE. Result: In plastic and reconstructive surgery, the most commonly used, free software platforms are 3D Slicer (Surgical Planning Laboratory, Boston, MA, USA) and OsiriX (Pixmeo, Geneva, Switzerland). Perforator mapping using 3D-reconstructed images from computed tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is commonly used for preoperative planning. Three- dimensional volumetric analysis using current software techniques remains labour-intensive and reliant on operator experience. Three-dimensional printing has been investigated extensively since its introduction. As more free open-source software suites and affordable 3D printers become available, 3D printing is becoming more accessible for clinicians. Conclusion: Numerous studies have explored the application of 3D-rendered conventional imaging modalities for perforator mapping, volumetric analysis and printing. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review of all established 3D imaging and printing techniques in a language suitable for clinicians.
Persistent median artery carpal tunnel syndrome: a case series and literature review
Authors: Nowicki Jake L , Cameron Alexander Macgregor , Griffin Philip , Lam Quoc Tai Khoa , Marshall Nicholas
Published: May 2019

Persistent median artery (PMA) thrombosis is a rare cause of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with only a few cases reported in the literature. The bifid median nerve (BMN) is often associated with PMA and may be a factor in the development of CTS. There is a paucity of information in the literature on the management options for CTS secondary to PMA thrombosis. This paper presents two cases of CTS with associated PMA thrombosis and BMN and offers a discussion on diagnostic and management options.

Published: May 2019

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive body contouring procedure that aims to achieve focal clearance of subcutaneous fat by means of confined areas of cold exposure. Cryolipolysis is currently gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional liposuction due to its high efficacy and low incidence and duration of side effects. Common side effects include erythema, bruising, oedema, pain and diminished sensation, all of which are usually transient. Frostbite injuries following cryolipolysis are exceedingly rare. We report a case of severe frostbite following a cryolipolysis session that required surgical intervention with resultant permanent scarring.

Published: May 2019

Este artículo tiene como objetivo evaluar la producción científica y las tendencias de investigación de Ecuador, en el contexto de América Latina en el período 2006 – 2014 mediante el análisis del impacto del producto interno bruto (PIB) y el gasto en investigación y desarrollo (I+D) en el número de publicaciones.Se evidencia que existe una relación lineal y positiva entre el PIB en el año 2014 y el número de artículos publicados. Estos resultados permiten contrastar también las tendencias de temas de investigación de Ecuador, y cómo se relacionan con los objetivos de investigación de Unesco y Senescyt.Se concluye que la efectividad de la política científica se refleja en el gasto en I+D, así como, en los indicadores de publicaciones que tienden a concentrarse en ciertos puntos clave relacionados con las seis áreas de investigación de la Unesco, que aportan al desarrollo del país y resuelven problemas de Latinoamérica. Ecuador debe reforzar la inversión privada en investigación y enfocarse en temas en los que aparece como competitivo.
La Percepción Confiesa el valor artístico
Authors: Machado Ortiz Diego Mauricio
Published: May 2019

Crear un contenido sobre lo que vemos o percibimos deriva en la expresión de ideas y opiniones, y sin vacilación marcadas por las percepciones del contextos en el que profundizamos. En particular para el creador – artista desde lo más esencial, el dibujo, la pincelada y la forma, plasmar imágenes describen identidades que no siempre están sumidas en la autenticidad de personajes que se ansía retratar. Tomando en cuenta que el arte esta sujeto a la interpretación y la habilidad artística de retratar puede derivar en dos acciones, por una parte la obra que denote lo que se mira desde el acercamiento al realismo pictórico dónde la técnica y estructura visual refleja la apariencia de lo inmediato; y por otra, más cercana a las emociones, lo que el artista percibe, interpreta y expone. Por lo tanto el vínculo entre la percepción, el valor artístico y la creación, relacionados con la habilidad de retratar, toman protagonismo en este análisis con el propósito de identificar si desde la percepción se admite con claridad el mensaje que el creador - artista propone, desde la figuración pictórica de un elemento simple como el retrato,  y el abordaje de la apreciación artística de estructuras visuales vislumbradas, sin descartar la fundamentada armonía que forma la estética y técnica artística.

What does change of the law change?
Authors: Vorheyer Claudia
Published: May 2019

This paper presents key findings from a qualitative-empirical research on prostitution governance that examined the professional habitus of governmental and nongovernmental frontline actors, such as police and public-order officers as well as social workers and employees of public-health services, in Germany. It has been carried out after fundamental changes within German prostitution policy. The paper focuses on the public-health sector to demonstrate exemplarily how and to what extent professionals’ patterns of perception, thought and action have a crucial impact on the implementation of prostitution policy, up to the point that their everyday practices counteract the “law in books”. To provide a better understanding of this, the empirically grounded and refined concept of professional habitus will be outlined and illustrated by a contrastive case comparison. Moreover, against the background of the current policy change reversal, the article takes up the concept of “morality politics” and relates it theoretically to the concept of “professional habitus”.
