Authors: Bilal Bilal
Published: April 2021

Social and religious behavior is the act of carrying out religious teachings carried out with full confidence and sincerity and implemented in the social area of society. In management, especially in the organizational dimension, there is integration between the individual's vision and the vision of the pesantren as the organizer, which is why the activities organized by the pesantren are able to run dynamically. The activities organized by the pesantren as non-formal educational institutions have a positive impact on the surrounding community, although not all activities have the same impact as what happens in the pesantren study activities. The results of this study indicate that; first, the change in community behavior after attending a routine study at the Istiqomah Islamic Boarding School in Pasuruan is through several stages, namely pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance. Second, the results achieved from routine activities at the Istiqomah Islamic boarding school are; a) increased faith and devotion, b) able to perform worship properly and consistently, especially prayer, c) have a good religious experience as evidenced by a feeling of calm when and after practicing worship, d) high interest in studying religious knowledge, e) more has good manners in interacting with neighbors or fellow Muslims, and f) living life in peace.

Global DNA methylation: role, status and genome-wide approaches to study epigenetic mark in cloned embryos
Authors: Malpotra Shivani , Hussain Ahmad
Published: April 2021

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique has been proving its worth for more than two decades now as over 20 different species have been successfully cloned. SCNT protocol for cloning is well established but efficiency in terms of live birth rate is still low. Epigenetic abnormality following nuclear reprogramming is considered as the main culprit behind its low efficiency. DNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic modifications that directly or indirectly regulate gene expression pattern, development and genome stability. Embryos produced through SCNT are found to express abnormal DNA methylation profile in comparison with in vivo or in vitro produced embryos. In order to improve DNA methylation profile in cloned embryos, a complete database of whole genome is required to find out specific faulty targets. Many techniques including low throughput and high throughput approach has been used to profile DNA methylation pattern in bovine embryos throughout the developmental stages. In the present review, we have compiled the overall status of global DNA methylation, the effect of aberrant DNA methylation on development and evolution in methodologies used for profiling global DNA methylome in cloned embryos.
Immunohistochemistry as an important tool for exploring the insights of various aspects of gastro-intestinal tract
Authors: Shukla Ritesh Kumar , Rao N Venkat Appa
Published: April 2021

The concepts in immunology and techniques in histology have come together in a novel way to create a pioneering discipline known as ImmunoHistoChemistry (IHC), to discover new ways in detecting cell and tissue antigens related to amino acids, proteins and infectious agents by using labeled antibodies. These amalgamation techniques are applied in the disciplines of endocrinology, entero-biology, neurobiology, pathology, tumor biology and pharmaceutical research as a diagnostic tool. The simultaneous advancements in the field of imaging techniques further assisted and widened the application of IHC in molecular studies, thereby facilitating the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This paper attempts to discuss the different aspects of gastro-intestinal tract in relation to its cellular diversity, cellular differentiation, physiology and pathology, through the application of IHC methods.

The Sevenfold Form of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew’s Gospel Revisited
Authors: Ridlehoover Charles Nathan
Published: April 2021

Commentators on the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew’s Gospel have long admired its well-crafted liturgical poetry. The prayer is concisely and carefully worded and has a discernible structure. A number of recent studies of the prayer have noted the shape of the prayer and settled on a six-petition/two-halves model. In view of this and of recent interest in how form effects meaning, it seems appropriate to revisit the important issues and to suggest some ignored aspects of the prayer’s balance and symmetry. This article will argue that the Lord’s Prayer consists of seven petitions concentrically arranged around the fourth petition. Particularly important and often ignored is Matthew’s chosen context, the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount has a concentric structure that parallels the prayer’s structure and has several intratextual links with each petition of the prayer. These individual links between the prayer and sermon evidence the importance of seven petitions instead of six. In addition to context, the structure of the Lord’s Prayer is marked by verbal patterning, thematic consistency, and internal structuring.
James’s Use of Amos 9:11–12 in Acts 15
Authors: Savelle Charles Haddon
Published: April 2021

The NT authors’ use of the OT continues to be a matter of ongoing discussion, debate, and disagreement. The relevant issues are complex (e.g., textual, hermeneutical, historical, cultural, and theological) and it seems the only point on which all can agree is the importance of the issue. This article will not attempt to address all these issues at a broad or theoretical level but rather will focus specifically on the use of Amos 9:11–12 in Acts 15 with a particular emphasis on how the text contributes to James’s argument for Gentile inclusion in light of the parousia. While it would be too strong to say that James’s use of Amos 9:11–12 is paradigmatic, it does shed important light on how the early church may have understood and applied OT texts Christologically. This article will consist of five parts: (1) an overview of Acts 15:1–35, (2) an examination of Acts 15:13–21, (3) a review of the textual issues with the quotation, (4) James’s use of Amos 9:11–12, and (5) concluding implications.
Epicurus: A Case Study of Nietzsche's Conception of a “Typical Decadent”
Authors: Hurrell David
Published: April 2021

Nietzsche's portrayal of Epicurus in his middle period of 1878–82 is one of an inspiring figure and kindred spirit, which is then generally considered by commentators to change to a more ambivalent one in his later writings, particularly those from 1886 to 1888. In this article, I argue that this change in Nietzsche's opinion of Epicurus can be explained by his gradual realization that Epicurus advocates a particular form of Greek decadence, which neither Nietzsche nor the secondary literature on him ever formally name. As a consequence of this promotion of a life-inhibiting value that potentially undermines the flourishing of humanity, Nietzsche thinks Epicurus should be construed not just as a “decadent” but, in fact, a “typical” one, which I will argue is a distinct opprobrium that the secondary literature to date often cites but does not fully expound.
Classical Form or Modern Scientific Rationalization? Nietzsche on the Drive to Ordered Thought as Apollonian Power and Socratic Pathology
Authors: Lichtenstein Eli I.
Published: April 2021

Nietzsche sometimes praises the drive to order—to simplify, organize, and draw clear boundaries—as expressive of a vital “classical” style, or an Apollonian artistic drive to calmly contemplate forms displaying “epic definiteness and clarity.” But he also sometimes harshly criticizes order, as in the pathological dialectics or “logical schematism” that he associates paradigmatically with Socrates. I challenge a tradition that interprets Socratism as an especially one-sided expression of, or restricted form of attention to, the Apollonian: they are more radically disparate. Beyond strengthening the case for this basic point, I develop a distinctive account of what, exactly, distinguishes the Apollonian-classical and Socratic forms of order. To this end, I advance interrelated interpretations of Apollonian-classical simplicity and the “cold” calm that it elicits, by contrast to superficially similar Socratic phenomena. This illuminates Nietzsche's broader ambivalence toward science, in part by clarifying the nature and value of an idealized Apollonian science.

Die Kompetenzverteilung zwischen Vorstand und Hauptversammlung im Rahmen des Merger of Equals
Authors: Schmidbauer Dirk
Published: April 2021

For transnational mergers of listed corporations, the merger of equals procedure is chosen frequently.

This thesis comprehensively deals with the delimitation of the competences of the board of directors and the general meeting of a listed stock corporation in the case of the merger of equals. It is examined whether the conclusion of the business combination agreement requires the approval of the general meeting or whether it falls exclusively within the competence of the board of directors. Furthermore, it is examined whether the merger as such falls within the competences of the general meeting, in particular whether the merger establishes unwritten competences of the general meeting.
Nachhaltige Bioökonomie im EU-Recht
Authors: Martin Henrike
Published: April 2021

The concept of a Bioeconomy – an economy that replaces fossil raw materials with biomass – has been widely promoted as a means to reduce environmental problems. Since the use of biomass itself has also been shown to have a negative environmental impact, a sustainable Bioeconomy is required. However, no definition or consistent use of the notion of sustainability has been established in EU law. Therefore, this study outlines the legal requirements of the principle of sustainability in EU law. It outlines the extent to which the principle of sustainability and the factual potential of a sustainable use of biomass are implemented in EU secondary law. This study proposes a legally substantiated, verifiable framework for consistently implementing sustainability in EU legislative procedures.

Authors: Frank Justus
Published: April 2021

Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, auf welcher Grundlage und zu welchen Bedingungen die Bezüge des wirtschaftlich abhängigen und wirtschaftlich unabhängigen Fremdgeschäftsführers herabgesetzt werden können. Aufgrund der hohen Anwendungsschwelle der Geschäftsgrundlagenlehre und der Vagheit der organschaftlichen Treuepflicht obliegt die Herabsetzung der Vergütung der Gestaltung des Anstellungsvertrages. Die Abhängigkeit des Fremdgeschäftsführers bemisst sich vorrangig nach dessen Verdienst und wird ergänzt um dessen unternehmerisches Initiativ- und Entscheidungsrecht. Für den wirtschaftlich unabhängigen Fremdgeschäftsführer wird ein ergänzendes System der vertraglichen Flexibilisierung entworfen.
Kartellrechtliche Grenzen der Preisberatung
Authors: Bolz Laura Marie
Published: April 2021

This thesis analyses recent developments in the liability of consultants and their clients for competition law infringements under German and EC competition laws in trilateral or multilateral situations. The applicable legal standards are derived from case law, especially from recent landmark decisions of the ECJ, while also taking previous practices on the national level into consideration. The found legal standards are then applied to different constellations of price consulting as a specialized form of business consulting services. In doing so the author also discusses gaps in the current liability framework and potential solutions to effectively prevent third party cartel facilitation in the future.
Reflections on the Influence of Family Demographics on Food Waste Generation among the City of Tshwane Households, Republic of South Africa
Authors: Machate Machate
Published: April 2021

This chapter presents the influence of households’ demographics on food waste generation. A mixed method research approach consisting of meta-analysis, survey (structured interviews), and experimental were used to collect opinions and weigh the amount of waste generated in each household. Although not all demographic variables were investigated, the influence of: (1) family size, (2) household monthly income, (3) employment status, (4) educational level, and (5) age of respondents on food waste generation were analyzed. The results of the study confirmed that age and family size are positive factors that influence the amount of food waste generated in households of the City of Tshwane, as opposed to the level of education, employment status, and monthly income levels. It should be noted, however, that this study does not conclusively exclude the other factors as not having an influence in food waste generations. However, their influence in the current food waste generation quantities was not conclusive. Further studies with larger sample size are thus recommended.
Transboundary River Basin Governance: A Case of the Mekong River Basin
Authors: Sithirith Mak
Published: April 2021

Conflict and cooperation are key governance challenges in transboundary river basin governance, especially in the Mekong River Basin. Hydropower dams have been at the center of such a conflict and cooperation that are useful metrics to assess the level and intensity of conflict and cooperation in transboundary river basin governance. This study examines transboundary river basin cooperation in the Mekong through the lens of hydropower dam projects. It uses a literature review and a case study of the Lower Sasan 2 (LS2) Dam to analyze the conflict and cooperation in the Mekong region, from the era of the US influence in the Cold War, the post-Cold War period, and the present-day with the rise of China. It concludes that Mekong river basin cooperation has evolved as a result of external influences and internal competition by riparian states over Mekong resources. The LS2 was identified in 1961 by US-supported hydropower studies and then by the GMS/ADB in 1998, but left unattended until 2007 when Vietnam signed an agreement with Cambodia to undertake a feasibility study in 2008. It took 16 years to get the LS2 built by a Chinese company in 2014 and completed it in 2017. Through the process, the states, powerful external actors, financial institutions, and private sector actors have politicized the LS2 studies, design, and construction. Cambodia, as a weak downstream state, has had to and must continue to position itself strategically in its relationships with these hydro-hegemons to compete for hydropower dam projects and protect its interests. The rise of China has induced the changing relationship between riparian states. Many hydropower dams were built with Chinese funding. Cambodia has also enjoyed its close ties with China, and the building of the LS2 dam by a Chinese company contributes to changing its positions in the Mekong cooperation but suffers environmental and social impacts.

The use of trained dogs for the detection of volatile biomarkers in biological samples has great potential to be used for non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of several diseases such as cancer. It offers early, highly accurate detection with fast response times, non-invasive to patients and allows for repeated sampling. The aforementioned methods are useful as a portable technology to increase detection, screening, and monitoring coverage in populations at risk. In this sense, Cervical Cancer (CC) has become a public health concern of alarming proportions in many developing countries, particularly in low-income sectors and marginalized regions due to different factors that limit the coverage of screening methods and the acceptance rates of women attending their routine gynecological examination. As such, early detection is a crucial medical factor in improving not only their population’s quality of life but also its life expectancy. For the above, the great odor detection threshold exhibited by dogs is not unheard of and represents a potential opportunity to develop an affordable, accessible, and non-invasive method for detection of CC with high sensibility and specificity values.
From the Classroom into Virtual Learning Environments: Essential Knowledge, Competences, Skills and Pedagogical Strategies for the 21st Century Teacher Education in Kenya
Authors: Adhiambo Amimo Catherine
Published: April 2021

As teachers in Kenya begin to migrate from the classroom to virtual learning spaces following COVID 19 pandemic, there is pressing need to realign Teacher Education to requisite Knowledge, competences, skills, and attitudes that will support online teaching. This chapter explores these needs using a combination of lived experiences and literature review that captured a meta-analysis of research trends on e-learning. While trends in Teacher Education indicate progression towards adoption of technology, there are disparities between the theory and practice. Evidence from recent research and reports; and the recollected experiences confirmed knowledge, competence, skills and pedagogical gaps in the implementation of online learning, that have been exacerbated by COVID-19. The researcher recommends that teacher education should sensitize and train teacher trainees on how to access, analyze and use new knowledge emerging with technology; they also should be coached on how learners learn with technology and on fundamentals of the communication process. Particularly the course on educational technology, should focus on how to create and manage online courses. The 5-stage E-Moderator Model and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) are recommended as effective pedagogical scaffold for online teaching.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was defined as a neurodegenerative disorder, being more affected in the elderly. It is estimated that every 3.2 seconds a person in the world is affected by the high disease that rate in 2050 to 1 second. Therefore, research has been carried out on new therapeutic approaches, such as Transcranial Photobiomodulation and treatment based on antioxidants, such as Resveratrol. Therefore, the objective is to conduct a literature review on these two approaches and their effects on the treatment of AD. It was carried out according to the PRISMA recommendation and the articles were selected according to the years of publication (between 2015 and 2020) and extracted from the following databases: Science Direct, PubMed PMC, Scopus, PubMed NCBI, SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE and PEDro. In several studies it has been reported that both therapies provide improvements at the molecular and behavioral level, recovering brain functions, acting in a neuroprotective way, improving quality of life, with few adverse effects and in a less invasive way. Thus, both treatments have numerous benefits that can be useful in the treatment of AD. However, there is a need for further research that includes interventions with greater specificity and control, so that they are defined as ideal doses and treatment protocols.
Double Pole Method in QCD Sum Rules for Vector Mesons
Authors: Souto Maior de Sousa Mikael , Rodrigues da Silva Rômulo
Published: April 2021

The QCD Sum Rules approach had proposed by Shifman, Vaishtein Zakharov Novikov, Okun and Voloshin (SVZNOV) in 1979 and has been used as a method for extracting useful properties of hadrons having the lowest mass, called as ground states. On the other hand, the most recent experimental results make it clear that the study of the excited states can help to solve many puzzles about the new XYZ mesons structure. In this paper, we propose a new method to study the first excited state of the vector mesons, in particular we focus our attention on the study of the ρ vector mesons, that have been studied previously by SVZNOV method. In principle, the method that we used is a simple modification to the shape of the spectral density of the SVZNOV method, which is written as “pole + continuum”, to a new functional form “pole + pole + continuum”. In this way, We may obtain the ρ and the ρ2S masses and also their decay constants.
Response of the Lithuanian municipalities to the First Wave of COVID-19
Authors: Dvorak J.
Published: April 2021

This article analyses the response of Lithuanian local authorities to the first wave of COVID-19 with a special focus on the economic support measures they took. The main goal of this in-depth study is to compare the economic response measures included in the action plans of Riga and Tallinn, two large Lithuanian municipal administrations, as well as to analyse the narrative developed in the two cities. The methodology of this research is based on the review of literature, the analysis of action plans, and a case study. The Vilnius and Klaipėda city municipalities adopted action plans to support residents and businesses. Although there are many measures the plans have in common, they differ in the context and scope of application. Municipalities are willing to grant exemptions from various fees and taxes. They have used innovative measures: Vilnius allowed the opening of outdoor cafes, the practice, which was observed by global media. According to the research findings, the actions of municipal authorities can be successful, as municipalities are closer to the residents and can respond to their needs and those of entrepreneurs more quickly and flexibly. The approval of COVID-19 management action plans by municipalities has contributed to the narrative of recovery and hope.
A Gastrobronchial Fistula Secondary to Endoscopic Internal Drainage of a Post-Sleeve Gastrectomy Fluid Collection
Authors: Gkolfakis Paraskevas , Bureau Marc-André , Arvanitakis Marianna , Devière Jacques , Blero Daniel
Published: April 2021

A 44-year-old woman underwent sleeve gastrectomy, which was complicated by a leak. She was treated with two sessions of endoscopic internal drainage using plastic double-pigtail stents. Her clinical evolution was favorable, but four months after the initial stent placement, she became symptomatic, and a gastrobronchial fistula with the proximal end of the stents invading the diaphragm was diagnosed. She was treated with antibiotics, plastic stents were removed, and a partially covered metallic esophageal stent was placed. Eleven weeks later, the esophageal stent was removed with no evidence of fistula. Inappropriate stent size, position, stenting duration, and persistence of low-grade inflammation could explain the patient’s symptoms and provide a mechanism for gradual muscle rupture and fistula formation. Although endoscopic internal drainage is usually safe and effective for the management of post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy leaks, close clinical and radiological follow-up is mandatory.
Renovatio temporum. La nueva semántica del poder diárquico a través de sus panegíricos (289-291 D.C.)
Authors: Rodríguez Fernández Antonio
Published: April 2021

El carácter laudatorio de los panegíricos latinos ha minimizado su importancia como fuente histórica bajo la idea de que la precisión de los datos se ve lógicamente mermada por la función propagandística que desempeñaban. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las narrativas de legitimación del poder imperial diárquico que desprenden sus panegíricos y que, como podrá observarse, no son fruto de referencias arbitrarias, eruditas o meramente ornamentales, sino que componen un discurso político-religioso con plena coherencia interna sobre el mensaje que el aparato imperial buscaba transmitir como ruptura del periodo precedente: de la etapa del caos y la fragmentación del poder, a un nuevo orden que reclama y se encamina hacia un poder político predestinado y unitario.
Fidei defensores. Arte y poder en tiempos de conflicto religioso en la Inglaterra Tudor. Enrique VIII y María I y Felipe II
Authors: Pascual Molina Jesús Félix
Published: April 2021

Enrique VIII consiguió en 1521 el título de defensor de la fe. De origen católico, la intitulación adquirió en su reinado carácter protestante, en relación con la fundación de la iglesia de Inglaterra y quedó ligada a sus sucesores. Por ello, en tiempos de María Tudor, el título regresó a su origen católico con más fuerza si cabe. Recorremos en este texto el uso de propagandístico del apelativo «fidei defensor» en relación con las artes en un contexto de conflicto religioso, entre Enrique VIII y María Tudor. Su esposo, Felipe II, seguirá empleando el título inglés en otro ámbito, el de la lucha contra el enemigo turco.
La tradición veterotestamentaria en una alegoría eliana del Museo de la Basílica de Guadalupe.
Authors: Cruz Lazcano Victor
Published: April 2021

Las representaciones del profeta Elías en el ámbito monacal novohispano son escasas. Sin embargo para la orden del Carmen descalzo significaban una manera de identidad de los propios miembros de la corporación religiosa sustentados en su historia profética. En un afán de constituirse como la orden religiosa más antigua, los carmelitas proclamaron sus orígenes en el profeta Elías, a quien tomaron por padre y fundador. En este caso de estudio se revisan los antecedentes que, procedentes de pasajes del Antiguo Testamento, fueron amalgamados en una alegoría de intrincada simbología en lo que a primera vista parecería una escena bucólica. Uno de los pocos ejemplos de obras con temática veterotestamentaria que se encuentran en la pintura de la Nueva España en cuya creación se respira una profunda erudición acerca del Carmelo y los símbolos del sacramento de la Eucaristía.
Entre Amor y Marte. El carro triunfal durante los reinados de Carlos IV y Fernando VII
Authors: OLLERO LOBATO FRANCISCO
Published: April 2021

Estudiamos en este artículo las representaciones visuales de carros triunfales durante los primeros años del siglo XIX en España, en un período cronológico correspondiente a los reinados de Carlos IV y Fernando VII. Nos centramos en aquellos transportes representativos que portaron de manera física a los monarcas o héroes militares en las entradas reales o cortejos fúnebres durante los convulsos años del fin del Antiguo Régimen y Guerra de Independencia. Pretendemos analizar los antecedentes iconográficos inmediatos y las referencias culturales y políticas del contexto histórico donde se resucita esta imagen a lo romano del vehículo triunfal.

Penal welfarism og norsk sikkerhetspsykiatri, 1895-1940
Authors: Dahl Hilde
Published: April 2021

AbstractThis article presents the early decades of Norwegian forensic psychiatry as a basis for exploring David Garland’s term «penal welfarism». While Garland focuses primarily upon penalties and prisons, I find it relevant to look at a type of sanction not officially defined as punishment according to Norwegian law. Insanity has provided exemption from criminal punishment in Norway since 1842. Yet criminals considered dangerous to themselves or others have been housed in criminal asylums since 1895, which is the same year Garland argues that a transformation in penal strategies occurred in Britain (Garland, 1985).
Policies funnelling irregular migrants: On dispersed control in the emerging landscape of order production
Authors: Johansen Nicolay Borchgrevink
Published: April 2021

Abstract NorwegianDenne artikkelen presenterer noen bestemte utviklingstrekk når det gjelder kontrollpolitikk, både i Norge og andre land det er vanlig å sammenligne med. Jeg har kalt det jeg finner for «traktpolitikk». Traktpolitikk innebærer å inndra bidrag fra forskjellige og i utgangspunktet uavhengige aktører, organisasjoner og institusjoner fra hele det politisk-administrative feltet. Bidragene blir tatt imot og videreført i den grad de passer inn i det politiske feltet fra før og bidrar til det overordnede målet på feltet. Påstanden er at traktpolitikk og dens rasjonalitet gjennomsyrer den politiske og administrative håndteringen av flere marginale grupper. Formålet med artikkelen er følgelig å redegjøre for hvordan denne politikken fungerer, om enn i skisseform. Artikkelen tar for seg den mer spesifikke kontrollen med irregulære migranter som eksempel, og kan følgelig også leses som en studie av dette feltet.Abstract EnglishThis article presents certain specific developments in control policy that have occurred in Norway and the countries it is commonly compared with. I have coined the term "funnelling policy" to describe what I have found. Funnelling policy involves the deduction of contributions from different and basically independent actors, organizations and institutions from the entire political-administrative field. The contributions are received and continued to the extent that they fit into the political field from before and contribute to the overall goal of the field. The claim is that funnelling policy and its rationality permeate the political and administrative handling of several marginalized groups. The purpose of the article is to explain how this policy functions, albeit in the form of a sketch. The article addresses the more specific control of irregular migrants as an example, and cantherefore also be read as a study of this field.
Fører endringer i loven til endringer i rettspraksis?
Authors: Andersen Synøve N. , Holmboe Morten , Skardhamar Torbjørn
Published: April 2021

AbstractOn June 25, 2010, sentencing for certain violent crimes should have increased substantially in Norway due to changes in the Criminal Act and the explicit intention of lawmakers. But did this actually happen? In this paper, we compare sentencing practices before and after the penal reform using administrative registry data from all Norwegian courts on persons convicted for bodily harm and/or assault. Results from regression discontinuity analyses show that despite clear incentives to increase sentences for violent offences, there were no statistically significant changes in the length of sentences imposed following the penal reform. This highlights the importance of conducting empirical assessments of the impact of penal changes on judicial behaviour and other aspects of the criminal justice system.
Unødig lang sagsbehandlingstid i danske straffesager:
Authors: Jørgensen Kasper , Olesen Annette
Published: April 2021

AbstractFor many years the Danish criminal justice system has been criticized for its drawn out handling of criminal cases – which is not only problematicfor the victim’s sense of justice, but is also a violation of the defendant’s civil rights. It is nevertheless surprising how little we know about the  implications for those who are forced to wait an unreasonably long time for trial, especially for those who are not remanded into custody. This article uses a socio-legal perspective to explore the time before conviction for defendants who must continue to live their everyday lives while awaiting decisions. Based on interviews (n=45) and judicial decisions we show that the interviewees awaiting their trial are trapped in a powerless position and are unable to take positive steps forward in their lives. Furthermore, the article shows that experiencing a drawn-out trial date has a negative influence on these citizens’ attachment to society even before their conviction by exposing them to social barriers similar to those faced by ex-convicts who have already served their time.

A Case Study in Federalism - the United States and Michigan Constitutions: Not Double Vision, Double Constitutions
Authors: WARREN MICHAEL
Published: April 2021

Each citizen in America lives under two Constitutions - the United States, federal Constitution which applies to all citizens, and the constitution of the state in which the citizen lives. Often overlooked and basically unknown, the state constitutions play a vital role in governance and preserving our unalienable rights. Perhaps the best way to understand each constitution is to compare and contrast them. Accordingly, as a case study, this article examines the age, length, predecessors, drafting process, conventions, ratification process, and amendment procedures of the State of Michigan Constitution of 1963 and the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, this article examines how each of these constitutions addresses the separation of powers, legislature, executive, judiciary, local government, transportation, education, finance, taxation, and the protection of unalienable rights. Armed with this understanding, we will be better informed citizens, and more ably equipped to participate in self-governance and protect the unalienable rights of the citizenry.

Note: At times this article quotes constitutional text which refers to “he” or “him.” The grammatical convention at the time was to make masculine all generic gender references. That this article quotes the text does not equate to an endorsement of the convention nor did the drafters intend that only men could serve as public officials.
