Published: August 2021

A 53-year-old Caucasian female with a previous psychiatric history of bipolar I disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder presented to the emergency department after endorsing 10-11 months of auditory and visual hallucinations, persecutory delusions, depression, anosmia, weakness of lower extremities, and headache. The patient described her auditory hallucinations as non-commanding voices talking to her about her family, her visual hallucinations as seeing “shadows and shapes,” and her paranoid delusions as people coming after her. The patient had sustained a fall a week and a half earlier, requiring eight sutures to her posterior scalp. Her MRI of the brain showed a well-circumscribed 3.5 x 4.7 x 3.2 cm mass in the floor of the anterior cranial fossa. Computer tomography of the brain showed a 4.5 cm mass near the anterior interhemispheric fissure and edema in the right frontal cortex. Meningioma resection resulted in the cessation of hallucinations and delusions for one week. However, the patient was brought back to the emergency department because her auditory hallucinations and delusions returned. This case report demonstrates residual psychosis, even after frontal meningioma resection.

Authors: Muradyan Gohar
Published: August 2021

Student assessment is an integral part of any teaching learning process. Assessment practices have a large number of functions to perform in the context of the teaching, learning process.
This article challenges several myths about student assessment: that we know what we're grading, that we know what the results mean, that we can agree in practice on various criteria, which is possible to establish and apply unanimously.
Despite these seeming difficulties, this article argues for the validity of assessments developed within particular academic environments in the higher learning institutes of Armenia.
Do contemporary assessment practices perform these function: it is a critical question to be analysed. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse the myths and realities of the assessment practice in the higher education sector.

Australian Residential Tenancies Law in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Considerations of Housing and Property Rights
Authors: Martin Chris
Published: August 2021

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Australian states and territories implemented eviction moratoriums and measures to vary rent obligations – a remarkable response for jurisdictions that have, for decades, regulated residential landlord-tenant relations on a model of mild consumer protection, market rents and ready termination. This article examines the COVID-19 emergency measures and their implications for tenants’ housing rights, and landlords’ property rights. After reviewing the Australian rental housing system’s structure and legislative framework, the article examines in detail the COVID-19 emergency measures regarding evictions and rents in each state and territory. These vary in form and content, mostly on a pattern of additional protection from eviction for a core ‘hardship’ group, and variation of rents by individual negotiation. The article considers problems in the emergency measures, and points on which enduring reforms may be built, as well as critically appraising the argument that property rights protections limit the scope for reform.
Intersectional Discrimination in Australia: An Empirical Critique of the Legal Framework
Authors: Blackham Alysia , Temple Jeromey
Published: August 2021

Australian equality law is still largely dependent on individual enforcement to achieve systemic change. The degree to which discrimination law acknowledges and accommodates intersectional discrimination is a question of growing pertinence. This article bridges theoretical scholarship on intersectionality and empirical statistical evidence of how people experience discrimination in Australia, drawing on data from the 2014 General Social Survey, to critically evaluate the extent to which Australian discrimination law is able to accommodate intersectional experiences of discrimination. We argue that there is a fundamental disconnect between the legal framework, which focuses on separate and distinct ‘grounds’ of discrimination, and how people actually experience discrimination in practice, which is multiple and overlapping. This article offers concrete suggestions for how the legal framework and data collection could be improved to better integrate intersectionality in Australian discrimination law.
Trade Mark Law's Identity Crisis (Part 2)
Authors: Handler Michael
Published: August 2021

The concept of ‘substantial identity’ has not been the subject of sustained critical inquiry in Australian trade mark law, notwithstanding that it plays a crucial role in relation to trade mark ownership, non-use, amendments to representations, and the criminal offences. This second part of a two-part article provides a critique of the Federal Court’s recent move away from a strict approach to, and embrace of an expansive test of, substantial identity. It is argued that the Court’s new interpretation is inconsistent with earlier authority and pays insufficient regard to the historical and normative underpinnings of the provisions of the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth) in which substantial identity has vital work to do. It has the potential to destabilise core doctrines of Australian law and unjustifiably privilege the interests of particular parties in the trade marks system. The article concludes with options for reorienting Australia’s law of substantial identity.

Balancing Competing Interests in the Criminal Justice System: Aboriginal Fishing Rights in Coastal New South Wales
Authors: Pain Nicola , Pick Georgia
Published: August 2021

Australian state and territory fisheries laws create offences to protect native fish stocks and biodiversity. These laws also, to varying extents, recognise the importance of cultural fishing to Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people who believe they are practising cultural fishing may nevertheless be prosecuted for breaching these laws. This article explores the adequacy of legal protection of cultural fishing under the Fisheries Management Act 1994 (NSW) (‘FM Act (NSW)’). The authors examine the limits of the defence of native title for Aboriginal defendants charged with offences under the FM Act (NSW) and legislation in other jurisdictions. They conclude that the FM Act (NSW) should be amended to include a defence of cultural fishing. The exercise of discretion by the Department of Primary Fisheries (‘DPI’) in charging Aboriginal fishers is also considered.

The influence of major nutrients’ reserves (available to plants) – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) – in the top 25-cm layer of soil on the Karelian birch (Betula pendula Roth var. carelica (Mercl.) Hämet-Ahti) with non-figured and figured wood via the antioxidant enzymes’ activity was investigated. The analysis of sites in area where Karelian birch trees with varying degree of figured wood intensity were growing was carried out. The cambial zone of the sample trees during active cambial growth period was studied for the activity of AOS enzyme complex (superoxide dismutase (SOD); catalase (CAT); peroxidase (POD); polyphenol oxidase (PPO)). Cellulose content and lignin content were studied. It was noticed that the availability of major nutrients in the investigated sites had influence on the degree of figured wood intensity in Karelian birch plants. Thus, non-figured and figured Karelian birch plants that grew on sites with various levels of major nutrients’ reserves differed in the AOS enzymes’ activity, which was a consequence of different xylogenesis scenarios in the studied birch forms. It was supposed, that the certain site conditions (N, P, K levels) formation could affect the degree of figured wood intensity, cellulose and lignin content. The N level and P/N ratio had the most effects under the adequate K level. So AOS enzymes’ complex activity could indicate differences in Karelian birch wood quality in sites that differ in soil fertility (N, P, K levels).
Managing legal pluralism: the negotiations on the re-acquisition of crown land in the Livonian Diet (1681) as a matter of securitisation and imperial integration
Authors: Goetze Doroth�e
Published: August 2021

The emergence of empires during the early modern period led to a shift of territorial borders and social as well as economic and political boundaries. This is also true for early modern Sweden and especially for Livonia, being one of the eastern border provinces of the Swedish empire. The plans for withdrawing alienated possessions of the Swedish Crown there, i.e. a reduktion, make this particularly clear. This article examines the discussion of the year 1681 between the Swedish Crown and the Livonian knighthood and nobility in the Livonian Diet on the retake of crown lands as an example of how early modern empires dealt with legal pluralism. Combining the concepts of securitisation and integration will show that these deliberations should be understood less as a struggle for or against re-acquisitions of crown lands than as negotiations about Swedish rule in Livonia, and its normative foundations and functions, and thus about the Swedish empire.
Le Conseil de la fédération du rapport Pepin-Robarts et ses incarnations historiques*
Authors: Santafé Gustavo Gabriel
Published: August 2021

Cet article a pour but d’analyser le projet du Conseil de la fédération (CDF) du rapport Pepin-Robarts de 1979 ainsi que quelques propositions postérieures des libéraux au Québec parmi lesquelles se trouve celle de 2003. En mobilisant différents référents théoriques sur le fédéralisme exécutif, cet article défend le postulat selon lequel le CDF de 1979 est novateur parce qu’il bonifie positivement le sort du fédéralisme exécutif sur le plan de l’équilibre des forces exécutive et législative et de la gouvernance fédérative. De manière comparative, cette étude précise que le présent CDF ne respecte pas l’esprit du modèle de 1979 en ce qui concerne son rôle législatif et son fort degré de formalisation institutionnelle à l’intérieur du Parlement fédéral. Enfin, cet article se termine sur la présentation de trois prescriptions portant sur la réforme du Sénat, sur les peuples autochtones et sur la participation citoyenne visant à améliorer la collaboration dans l’actuel CDF.
Channel state information estimation for 5G wireless communication systems: recurrent neural networks approach
Authors: Essai Ali Mohamed Hassan , Taha Ibrahim B.M.
Published: August 2021

In this study, a deep learning bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) recurrent neural network-based channel state information estimator is proposed for 5G orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems. The proposed estimator is a pilot-dependent estimator and follows the online learning approach in the training phase and the offline approach in the practical implementation phase. The estimator does not deal with complete a priori certainty for channels’ statistics and attains superior performance in the presence of a limited number of pilots. A comparative study is conducted using three classification layers that use loss functions: mean absolute error, cross entropy function for kth mutually exclusive classes and sum of squared of the errors. The Adam, RMSProp, SGdm, and Adadelat optimisation algorithms are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimator using each classification layer. In terms of symbol error rate and accuracy metrics, the proposed estimator outperforms long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network-based channel state information, least squares and minimum mean square error estimators under different simulation conditions. The computational and training time complexities for deep learning BiLSTM- and LSTM-based estimators are provided. Given that the proposed estimator relies on the deep learning neural network approach, where it can analyse massive data, recognise statistical dependencies and characteristics, develop relationships between features and generalise the accrued knowledge for new datasets that it has not seen before, the approach is promising for any 5G and beyond communication system.

Published: August 2021

The paper presents a software platform made with LabVIEWTM for the assisted research of the kinematic and dynamic behavior of industrial robots. The platform comprises a series of virtual instrumentation LabVIEWTM programs (subVI-s) with: the input data modules in the form of several clusters with the parameters of the trapezoidal velocity characteristics of each joint, the axes of movement and the type of each joints, the dimensions of each body, the graph associated to the robot’s structure, the incidence matrices bodies - joints and joints- bodies, as well as the control buttons for movement up or down with or without object in the end- effecter, some modules with 2D characteristics of positions, velocities, accelerations, forces and moments in each joints and also the 3D characteristics of them. The research of the current stage shows that such a complex platform like this was not realized, the current research being limited to the animation of motion trajectories, determining the characteristics of positions, velocities, accelerations, forces and moments without the possibility of changing all motion parameters and robot’s dimensions and without show how these parameters change the behavior. The paper studies the case of an articulated arm type robot, but the platform can be used for any type of robot with four degrees of freedom (DOF).
Introducing mnemonics to Japanese students as a vocabulary learning strategy
Authors: Paton Stephen
Published: August 2021

Mnemonic strategies are not often utilised by Japanese students to learn and consolidate vocabulary, despite research showing that they are particularly effective. As part of an informal action research process, a structured lesson plan was devised that would introduce mnemonic strategies indirectly, that is, not by applying them directly to second-language vocabulary study from the outset, but instead as a means of memorising simple word/number pairings in something of a game. The strategy’s applicability to vocabulary study was shown only after it had been witnessed and practised by the students. This lesson was given in numerous classes from a variety of academic disciplines. A survey of the students (n = 361) was later carried out to ascertain whether despite its initially bypassing second-language concerns and complications, the lesson had been effective in introducing mnemonics as a vocabulary learning strategy that the students might choose to utilise in an upcoming programme of vocabulary learning and testing. Responses indicated that the lesson had been highly effective and that students in similar contexts might benefit from being introduced to mnemonics in such a way.
