The Prudential Regulation of Financial Institutions: Why Regulatory Responses to the Crisis Might Not Prove Sufficient
Authors: White William R.
Published: August 2024

It is now six years since a devastating financial and economic crisis rocked the global economy. Supported strongly by the G20 process, international regulators led by the Financial Stability Board have been working hard ever since to develop new regulatory standards designed to prevent a recurrence of these events. These international standards are intended to provide guidance for the drawing up of national legislation and regulation, and have already had a pervasive influence around the world.  This paper surveys recent international developments concerning the prudential regulation of financial institutions: banks, the shadow banking system and insurance companies. It concludes that, while substantial progress has been made, the global economy nevertheless remains vulnerable to possible future financial instability. This possibility reflects three sets of concerns. First, measures taken to manage the crisis to date have actually made the prevention of future crises more difficult. Second, the continuing active debate over virtually every aspect of the new regulatory guidelines indicates that the analytical foundations of what is being proposed remain highly contestable. Third, implementation of the new proposals could suffer from different practices across regions.  Looking forward, the financial sector will undoubtedly continue to innovate in response to competitive pressures and in an attempt to circumvent whatever regulations do come into effect. If we view the financial sector as a complex adaptive system, continuous innovation would only be expected. This perspective also provides a number of insights as to how regulators should respond in turn. Not least, it suggests that attempts to reduce complexity would not be misguided and that complex behaviour need not necessarily be accompanied by still more complex regulation. Removing impediments to more effective self discipline and market discipline in the financial sector would also seem recommended.
The Timing and Direction of Statutory Tax Rate Changes by the Canadian Provinces
Authors: Ferede Ergete , Dahlby Bev , Adjeic Ebenezer
Published: August 2024

Tax rate changes are some of the most significant and far-reaching decisions a government can take. A good understanding of the odds of any such changes is essential for any business debating the timing and location of investments. This paper investigates the factors that affect the timing of statutory tax rate changes by Canadian provincial governments. The authors develop a simple theoretical model to explain the “stickiness” of tax rates — the factors that lead a province to decide against tinkering with the tax system — based on the presence of fixed costs of adjusting tax rates. The results indicate that if the current rate falls within a range of tax rates bracketing the optimal rate, then the government will not adjust its tax rate because the cost of the reform outweighs the potential benefits. To build up a body of evidence, this paper employs a multinomial logit model to examine the likelihood of changes to personal income tax (PIT), corporate income tax (CIT), and provincial sales tax (PST) rates by provincial governments over the period 1973-2010. Regression results indicate that provincial governments that start with higher tax rates are more likely to cut, and less likely to raise, their tax rates. A higher provincial budget deficit reduces the probability of a CIT rate cut and raises the probability of a PST rate increase. Party ideology seems to matter. Provinces with leftleaning governments are less likely to cut PIT and PST rates, and more likely to raise PIT rates compared to non-left-leaning governments. The authors also find that a federal PIT rate cut raises the probability of a provincial PIT rate increase, whereas a federal CIT rate cut raises the probability of a provincial CIT rate reduction.
Keeping the Genie in the Bottle: Grading the Regulation of Canadian Financial Institutions
Authors: Chant John F.
Published: August 2024

The Canadian financial sector made it through the recent global credit crisis in better shape than most. Still the government undertook extraordinary measures to support the soundness of Canadian financial institutions. Fortunately, Canadians learned the lessons of the world banking crisis at lower cost than others. They may not be so lucky the next time. Canada’s approach to regulation includes many features that have been effective in insulating its financial sector from major shocks. Its principles-based approach has proven more adaptable to emerging financial innovations than the rules-based approaches as adopted in the U.S. By favouring permission over prohibition, it has allowed beneficial financial innovations to thrive, while leaving regulators able to step in when innovations appear harmful to the stability of the system. On the whole, Canada’s regulatory approach is, put simply, simpler and reduces the costs of compliance and enforcement. Significantly, it has remained immune from the toxic political influences that overshadow U.S. regulation. None of this guarantees that the Canadian approach to regulation is fail-proof. The Canadian financial sector has a few large banks – some with assets ranging up to 50% of GDP – who could be categorized as “too big to fail.” Deposit insurance rates remain low and insurer’s reserves are not sufficient to shield the Canadian public from the costs of institutional failure. Despite the good job in fostering a stable environment, Canadian regulators must still face a number of issues. Each financial crisis is different and future crises are always over the horizon. Success in avoiding the brunt of the last crisis does not guarantee that Canadian financial institutions will escape unscathed from the next one. Also, fast paced innovation puts regulators in a continual game of catch-up. The rapid growth of shadow banks and over-the-counter derivatives contributed to the last crisis and the issues they raise have yet to be resolved. Finally, the success of international efforts to reverse “too big to fail” by allowing troubled financial institutions to fail safely cannot be assured. It requires authorities to close failing institutions promptly but history suggests that delay may appeal to regulators. They may hope that an institution, if given time, can recover. They may also fear fuelling a financial crisis by repeating the distress unleashed by the failures in the last crisis. With no chance for a trial run, regulators may be forced to bailout failing institutions in the heat of a crisis. To prevent such an outcome, regulators must strengthen measures to ensure that major institutions are too safe to fail.
Canada-Korea Free Trade: A Watershed in Economic Integration with Asia
Authors: Beaulieu Eugene
Published: August 2024

If there is one thing to question about the recently signed free-trade deal between Canada and South Korea, it is this: What took us so long? South Korea is a long-time trading partner with Canada, with a democratic political system and a rapidly expanding free-market economy offering strong protections for commercial rights. The country is an excellent place for Canada to begin a deeper economic integration with the larger Asian market. The details of the deal itself are certainly worth celebrating. Certainly Canadian consumers will save money on Korean-made products, such as cars. But Canadian companies exporting to South Korea have also, in recent years, found themselves increasingly unable to compete with exporters from the E.U. and U.S., who have already established free-trade deals with Seoul. Since the Americans signed their deal, U.S. exports to South Korea have soared, while the value of Canada’s exports to the same market have dropped by 30 per cent, as Canadians were left facing tariffs as high as 269 per cent.The Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement levels that playing field for Canada, something that will especially benefit firms exporting agricultural products (tariffs on Canadian beef, for example, were a punitive 72 per cent) and professional services. Even automakers may find that whatever increased competition comes from cheaper Korean car imports are offset by the opportunity to more easily sell Canadian-made vehicles in the much-larger Asian marketplace. There is a wealth of economic opportunity waiting in that burgeoning market; this free-trade deal is a pivotal first step for Canada to start fully capitalizing on it.

Safety in Numbers: Evaluating Canadian Rail Safety Data
Authors: Winter Jennifer
Published: August 2024

After the horrific and deadly train explosion at Lac-Mégantic, Que. in the summer of 2013, there are serious questions being raised publicly about the safety of Canada’s rail-transport system. Unfortunately, Canada’s public rail-safety data are currently in no shape to provide the answers to those questions. When Canadians ask, as many have in recent months, whether the rail-transport system is “safe,” they surely want to know whether the accident record is low — compared to other countries and to other forms of transport — and whether it has been improving or getting worse over time. Yet, the statistics that might provide the answers are worryingly inaccessible, sometimes conflicting, and in certain cases not available at all. The inability to publicly monitor airline safety statistics would be considered unacceptable. Yet trains transporting volatile goods across Canada arguably expose entire communities, as in Lac-Mégantic, to potentially catastrophic dangers. How is it, then, that the Transportation Safety Board, Transport Canada and Statistics Canada do not even publicly report something as basic as the number of train trips made every year in Canada? Nor do their statistics distinguish between incidents and accidents involving passenger trains and those involving freight trains. And how is it that the total number of accidents in some years is reported differently by these various monitoring organizations? If Canadians are, as it appears, destined to see increasing volumes of goods, specifically dangerous goods, transported by rail, it is that much more important that the federal government significantly improve the reporting of rail-safety data. It is not only vital that our railroads are safe; it is just as vital for the public to have information showing exactly how safe they are.
Addendum to “Bending the Medicare Cost Curve in 12 Months or Less”: AHS Analysis for Sample of Pure North Seniors (55-plus)
Authors: Dutton Daniel J. , Emery J.C. Herbert
Published: August 2024

As part of our analysis in the paper published in January 2015, “Bending the Medicare Cost Curve in 12 Months or Less: How Preventative Health Care Can Yield Significant Near-Term Savings for Acute Care in Alberta,”1 we had carried out analyses of sub-groups of interest, such as workers at Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNRL) and seniors (participants aged 55-plus) that, for reasons of length, we did not include in the published paper. The details for the data, the models estimated, the statistics calculated and the sample inclusion and exclusion restrictions are described in the full paper that was peer reviewed. This addendum discusses the results of the analysis of the sample of seniors (participants aged 55 and up at the time of joining Pure North, n=5,516, made up of 2,758 Pure North participants and 2,758 age- and sex-matched controls). The models estimated are described on pages 9 and 10 of the published paper. Persisting participants are Pure North joiners who have a 25OHD (vitamin D blood serum) measure at the time of joining and one year later. We interpret participants with two 25OHD one year apart as persisting in the Pure North program but we do not infer the degree of adherence to the program. The In-Clinic Seniors Program (ICP) sub-sample of Pure North senior participants had over 90 per cent persistence in the program for at least one year. For this sub-sample, relative to the frequency of hospital and emergency department visits of the ICP seniors program participants and matched controls in the year prior to joining the program, the program reduces hospital visits for seniors in the program by 22 per cent, emergency department visits by 34 per cent and avoids 22 per cent of annual health-care costs. For the 68 per cent of the full sample of Pure North participants aged 55 and over who we can confirm persisted in the program for at least one year, relative to the frequency of hospital and emergency department visits of the program participants and matched controls in the year prior to joining the program, the program reduces hospital visits for seniors persisting in the program by 39 per cent and emergency department visits by 24 per cent. These reductions in health care system contacts result in public health-care expenditures avoided of 35 per cent per year. These magnitudes are comparable to what we calculated for the overall and Vital 2.2 samples in the full 2015 report.Not accounted for in those direct health-care costs avoided is the relief that preventative care can provide to the medical treatment system. Scaled to the population level, the reductions observed in the Pure North seniors sample would represent at least six per cent fewer visits to Alberta emergency departments per year and reduce the need for hospital beds by at least six per cent in the Alberta hospital system. In terms of freed-up hospital beds, this is equivalent to adding another Foothills Medical Centre to the Alberta health-care system.
The Value of Caregiver Time: Costs of Support and Care for Individuals Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Dudley Carolyn , Zwicker Jennifer D.
Published: August 2024

WHY IS THIS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE?An estimated 1 in 86 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)1 making it the most commonly diagnosed childhood neurological condition in Canada.2 The true costs of lifelong support for people living with ASD3 are often underestimated and fail to acknowledge the value of caregiver time over the lifespan. Significant gaps in publically provided support systems leave the cost burden to be picked up by families. Relying on continued family supports where community services are fragmented or unavailable is not a sustainable approach. WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH TELL US? A continuum of supports are needed Most people living with ASD need supports that range from occasional assistance with higher level tasks, like organizing appointments or banking, to those who need continuous help with daily living.4 Areas where supportive care may be needed can be categorized broadly to include: self care, home living, service co-ordination, personal organization, health and safety management, adult day opportunities/employment, transportation, advocacy and social skills. These supports are most successful when they address the individual’s uniqueness in terms of communication, social, sensory, behavioural needs and physical and/or mental health conditions. Currently there are a lack of available supports, limiting opportunities for socialization, employment and residential living resulting in reduced independence for adults with ASD.

Assessing the Impact of Self-Mounting Spiral Mountage on Silkworm Cocooning Behavior (Bombyx mori L.)
Authors: K.S Vinoda , K.S Amruth Kumar Kanti , K.B Bharath , K.G Banuprakash
Published: August 2024

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a self-mounting spiral bamboo mountage for silkworm cocooning compared to traditional bamboo and plastic collapsible mountages. Key metrics analysed include larval density, cocooning percentage, cocoon count, weight, and defect rates. The traditional bamboo mountage exhibited the highest larval density and cocoon count. However, the self-mounting bamboo spiral mountage showed a high cocooning percentage (98.48%) and substantial cocoon weight, outperforming the plastic collapsible mountage. The spiral bamboo mountage also provided labour and time savings by facilitating natural larval crawling and efficient moisture absorption, critical for high-quality cocoon production. These findings highlight the bamboo spiral mountage as a viable and efficient alternative, optimising labour use and maintaining cocoon quality in sericulture. Key Words: Self-mounting, spiral mountage, spinning, cocooning, labour efficiency

The physiological act of chewing food is sometimes called the jaw movement cycle, mastication sequence, chewing process, or chewing cycle. Preparing food for swallowing must first be broken down in the mouth and combined with saliva. This process, known as mastication, aids in saliva secretion, which is necessary to moisten the food and the mouth.[1] The term "masticatory cycle" describes the synchronized movements of the jaw and related muscles during the chewing or mastication process, which breaks food down into smaller pieces. It is a multi-phase physiological process that is complex. [2,3]
The Impact of the New Decolonization of the Music and Music Education in the Ewe Land
Authors: Dzakey Francis Afenyo , Aglago Mawuli , Dzakey Cornelius Kofi
Published: August 2024

Both Western music and Ewe music, as types of Indigenous knowledge, play a crucial role in music education in the Colleges of Education in Ghana. After gaining independence in 1957, Ghana started making changes to the curriculum to include African indigenous cultures and shift away from the Eurocentric colonial curriculum. Nevertheless, these attempts had only limited success, as Western-educated elites showed a preference for Western music in academic settings. This research examines how students in two Ghanaian Colleges of Education are interacting with the teaching of Ewe music to determine if they are effectively learning this aspect of their education. The research also looks at the wider effects of decolonization initiatives in music instruction among the Ewe society. Although there is a growing focus on decolonizing classroom practices, scholars' research methods often still reflect colonial thinking, which raises ethical issues. The relationship between Indigenous knowledge systems and academic frameworks puts pressure on researchers, especially those who are not Indigenous, to be more methodologically responsible. Based on a recent study of Indigenous Sámi communities in Finland, the article suggests that although achieving methodological responsibility in decolonizing research is challenging, researchers must go beyond conventional epistemic limits. To decolonize music education successfully, scholars need to reassess their research methods and think about how to decolonize the actual research process.

Authors: Sontina Saragih
Published: August 2024

Patient safety is a global health concern, with the primary objective of preventing harm to patients and addressing unavoidable side effects. Key patient safety goals include effective patient assistance, clear communication, safe medication practices, ensuring accurate procedures and patient identification, minimizing infection risks, and reducing the likelihood of injury from falls. The Service Team at Melati General Hospital implemented a method to socialize these safety goals to nurses through lectures and interactive Q&A sessions. The results indicated a significant improvement in nurses' knowledge about patient safety goals, with a post-test increase to 94%. This enhanced understanding is expected to be applied in patient care, such as accurate patient identification, adherence to the five moments of hand hygiene, and further minimizing injury risks, thereby improving overall service quality.

This study aims to explore the experiences of families who have members undergoing palliative care. Using a phenomenological approach, we conducted in-depth interviews with six families involved in home palliative care. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi analysis to identify the main themes that emerged from the family's experiences. The study results show that families' experiences with palliative care patients are complex and emotionally charged. The main themes that emerged included: 1) Family emotional feelings, 2) Family obstacles in facing the treatment process and 3) Family support. This study provides in-depth insight into families' experiences with palliative care patients, highlighting the complexities, challenges, and needs involved in caring for an ill family member. Clinical implications of these findings include the importance of supporting families with appropriate resources and services, improving family communication and engagement in care, and recognizing the importance of emotional and social support in strengthening family well-being throughout the palliative care journey.
Բեթղեհեմի Սուրբ Ծննդյան տաճարի հայկական դուռը / THE ARMENIAN WOODEN DOOR OF THE NATIVITY CHURCH IN BETHLEHEM
Authors: HARUTYUNYAN KHACHIK
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the historical and political circumstances of the installation of the Armenian wooden door in 1227 in the vestibule of one of the main sanctuaries of Christianity, the Nativity Church in Bethlehem, its Armenian inscription, and artistic decoration.
This wooden door decorating the western entrance of the Basilica undoubtedly symbolizes the strong position of the Armenian community in the Holy Land in the 13th century, which was conditioned by favorable external and internal conditions, and by the important role of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem in the same period.
The wooden door is distinguished not only by its huge size, and high-art wooden decorations and carvings but also by three-line Armenian and Arabic inscriptions engraved on the right-hand and left-hand flaps of the door.
Armenian inscription is carved in beautiful erkat'agir (majuscule) script, unfortunately,
damaged in some parts. It is the oldest among dozens of other Armenian inscriptions of the Nativity Church. The names of the Armenian king Het'um the First, his father Constantin, and two priests Abraham and Arak'el are recorded in this inscription.
In the article, we discuss the historical context of the door, and its artistic decoration mentioning some contemporaneous parallels, which allow us to attribute the creation of the door to Armenian craftsmen.

Background Spontaneous rupture of urinary bladder (SRUB) is a rare surgical emergency that can be incorrectly diagnosed with ease. While it is more common in those with underlying bladder pathologies, this incidence may occur in patients with previously insignificant medical condition. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are essential to circumvent grave complications. Case Report A 60-year-old man who presented with inability to void, suprapubic pain and swelling. Initial clinical examination revealed a tender suprapubic distension with stable vital signs except for elevated blood pressure (180/104mmHG). Attempts at urethral catheterization by the casualty officer was abortive. However, while still receiving the initial care at the emergency room, the patient felt a burst in his abdomen with progressive generalized distension afterwards. Abdominopelvic ultrasound scan (USS) done showed gross ascites whereas plain abdominal radiographs (erect and supine) was suggestive of intestinal perforation. He underwent emergency laparotomy with identification of the posterior urinary bladder wall perforation which was repaired in two layers. The patient’s post-operative period was uneventful. Tenth day post-surgery, the patient was discharged home with no complications. Conclusion Spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder is very rare. High index of suspicion alongside a detailed evaluation with prompt surgical intervention could avert possible complications.

Published: August 2024

İnsanlık tarih boyunca örtünme, sıcak ve soğuk gibi olumsuz hava şartlarından korunma, süslenme benzeri amaçlarla deri, pamuk gibi hammaddelerden çeşitli kıyafet ve aksesuarlar üretip kullanmıştır. Bu kıyafet ve aksesuar üretiminde kullanılan hammaddelerden biri de yüzyıllar boyunca ipek olmuştur. Bu doğrultuda ipek böcekleri önce yetiştirilmiş ardından böceğin ördüğü kozalardan ipe çekilerek çeşitli ipek ürünler dokunmuştur. İpeğin hammadde olarak elde edilmesi, kullanılır hale getirilmesi ve sonrasında ipekli ürünlerin çeşitlenerek üretilmesi asırlar boyunca geliştirilen geleneksel bilgi ve tecrübelerin elde edilmesiyle gerçekleştirilmiş ve bunun sonucunda ipek böcekçiliği ve ipekli dokuma geleneği oluşmuştur. Osmanlı Devleti döneminde Bursa, Amasya, Tokat gibi şehirlerde ipek böcekçiliği yapılmışken günümüze baktığımızda Diyarbakır, Antalya, İzmir gibi illerde ipek böcekçiliği hala yapılmaktadır. İpek böcekçiliğini sürdüren şehirlerden biri de Aydın’dır. Osmanlı döneminde İzmir’in hinterlandı Aydın, ipek böcekçiliğini sürdürmüş olan illerden biridir. Tarih boyunca Aydın’da; ipek böceklerinin beslendiği dutların yetişmesi, ipek böceklerinin yetiştirilmesi için uygun iklim şartlarına sahip olması, ipek ticaretinin sağlanması için elverişli bir konumda bulunması gibi sebepleriyle ipek böcekçiliği ve ipekli dokuma geleneğinin devam etmesinde tarihi, coğrafi ve sosyal sebepler mevcuttur. İpeğin elde edilmesinden örtünme, korunma ve süslenme amacıyla üretilen ürünlere dönüştürülme sürecinde üreticilerin ağırlıklı olarak kadınlardan oluştuğu tespit edilmiştir. Günümüzde de ipek böcekçiliği ve ipekli dokuma geleneğinin sürdürülmesinde kadınlar aktif rol oynamaktadır. Bu makalede, Aydın şehri örneklem olarak seçilerek 2003 yılında ortaya konmuş olan ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti’nin 2006 yılında taraf olduğu Somut Olmayan Kültürel Mirasın Korunması Sözleşmesi (SOKÜM Sözleşmesi) kapsamında somut olmayan kültürel miras unsurlarından biri olan ipek böcekçiliği ve ipekli dokuma geleneğinin sürdürülmesinde kadınların rolü incelenmiştir. Aydın ilinde ipek böcekçiliği geleneğini sürdüren kadınlardan yola çıkılarak “Bu geleneği neden ağırlıklı olarak kadınlar sürdürmektedir?” ve “Geleneğin aktarımında kadınların rolü nedir?” soruları cevaplandırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu (TÜBİTAK) tarafından 222K087 numaralı proje ile desteklenmiştir. Projeye verdiği destekten ötürü TÜBİTAK’a teşekkürlerimizi sunarız. Ayrıca bu makale “Somut Olmayan Kültürel Mirasın Yaşatılarak Korunmasında Kadınların Rolü: Ödemiş İpek Böcekçiliği ve İpekli Dokuma Geleneği Örneği” başlıklı projenin ve yine aynı adlı tez çalışmasının bir çıktısıdır.

Authors: Hayati Winta , Maria Juliya
Published: August 2024

This research examines the legal protection of consumers in the context of subsidized rice distribution in Indonesia. The main focus of the research is to analyze the existing legal framework, its implementation, and the challenges faced in protecting the rights of subsidized rice consumers. The research method used is normative juridical with statutory and conceptual approaches. Data was obtained through literature study. The results show that although there are regulations governing consumer protection and the distribution of subsidized rice, there are still gaps in their implementation. Several cases of consumer rights violations were found, such as rice quality that does not meet standards, inaccurate weighing, and misuse of distribution. This study proposes several recommendations to strengthen consumer legal protection, including increased supervision, improved distribution systems, and consumer education. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of synergy between the government, business actors, and the community in realizing effective consumer protection in the distribution of subsidized rice. The implications of this research are expected to contribute to the improvement of consumer protection policies and practices in food subsidy programs in Indonesia.

Authors: Mulkan Hasanal , Nabila Zurriyati
Published: August 2024

The crime of premeditated murder can also be committed by women in the family, which increases along with the development of society. This type of research is normative with statutory and conceptual approaches. The data used is secondary data consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Factors causing the criminal offence of premeditated murder committed by women in the family are due to factors within the perpetrator, namely revenge, envy, heartache and mental disorders as well as factors from outside themselves which include economic factors, lack of appreciation of religion and lack of legal knowledge. For this reason, it is suggested that women should not commit premeditated murder against family members because the threat of punishment is very high and very detrimental to the perpetrator and that efforts to overcome premeditated murder against the family by women are carried out by all parties, especially families with a religious approach.

THE NOVEL THIRTY-THREE ABOMINATIONS AS A PROPHECY OF L.D. ZINOVIEVA-ANNIBAL ABOUT HER FATE
Authors: LIUYANG WANG , MIKHAILOVA M.
Published: August 2024

The article attempts to show L.D. Zinovieva-Annibal’s inner resistance to the symbolist attitudes that defined the religious and philosophical concept of Dionysianism, based on Zinovieva-Annibal’s artistic work and her correspondence with her husband, the poet Vyacheslav Ivanov. The traditional interpretation of her first important work, the drama Rings , in modern literary studies is to read it as a “deciphering” of Ivanov’s project about the erotic Church of the future, uniting people and destroying the egoism of the individual. Her novel Thirty-Three Abomi-nations is also considered an illustration of Ivanov’s mystical-religious theory. The characterisation of Zinovieva-Annibal is usually taken from the description of life in the “Tower”, oriented towards Ivanov, based on the statements of the people around them, where her image as Manada dominates. The authors of the article seek to refute these positions by showing Zinovieva-Annibal’s scepticism towards her husband’s theory, which was evident not only in her life but also in her literary work. The aim of the article was to deconstruct artistic texts to recover “female subjectiv-ity” from under the burden of Dionysian overlays.
