Las emociones del alumnado involucrado en la dinámica del maltrato entre iguales
Authors: Valadez Figueroa Isabel De la A. , Barragán Ledesma Laura E. , Ochoa Orendain María Consuelo
Published: April 2016

Este artículo presenta resultados de una investigación cualitativa, realizada de septiembre 2014 a enero del 2015 con el alumnado de tres escuelas secundarias del sistema oficial ubicadas en la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México. El objetivo fue conocer el rol que juegan las emociones que experimentan los alumnos involucrados en la violencia escolar específicamente el maltrato entre iguales. La información se obtuvo mediante tres grupos focales y once entrevistas semiestructuradas, utilizando el análisis categorial temático. Los resultados muestran un patrón emocional, compartido entre observadores y víctimas, víctimas y agresores, y observadores, víctimas y agresores. Este patrón integrado por emociones que forman parte del espectro de las emociones relacionadas con la vergüenza, y en el que subyace una afrenta o humillación percibida como cercana y potencial para el observador, real para la víctima y acaecida para el agresor. Esta situación puede tornar la violencia en un círculo interminable, en el cual el estudiantado tanto en su rol de observadores, víctimas y agresores en un intento de recuperar su propia valía ante sí mismos y ante los ojos de los demás, tratan de superar la vergüenza por la afrenta recibida, utilizando la violencia como catarsis de la vergüenza. Estos hallazgos servirán como base empírica para diseñar intervenciones educativas que consideren las emociones de los alumnos.
A dialectical reading of Dynamic Systems Theory
Authors: Karimi-Aghdam Saeed
Published: April 2016

Dynamic systems theory (DST) has affordances to be a quintessential metatheoretical architecture for the nuancing of the time-locked mechanisms and processes of the L2 system. The received construal of DST in L2 studies presumes the emergence of structural regularities and the cognitive organization of the L2 system as simply a function of lower-level language use in social milieux. Critiquing some of the bedrock assumptions anchoring the extant reading, this article sketches a complementary dialectical construal of DST. Explicating circular causality, a nexus of causality types, and self-organizational emergence and their attendant implications for an adequate description and explanation of L2 as an emerging, dynamic and complex system are discussed respectively. The article concludes with some interpretive remarks.
La formación del Gran Buenos Aires (Argentina) a través del análisis de las normativas y códigos vigentes (1910-1927)
Authors: Gómez Pintus Ana , Fernández Noelia
Published: April 2016

Resumen Desde comienzos el siglo XX se asistió en la periferia de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires a la inserción de núcleos de barrio parque y fin de semana como parte del proceso de modernización de la ciudad y de sus redes de transporte. En este marco, el trabajo que presentamos se propone analizar el proceso de urbanización de dichas áreas haciendo hincapié en la relación entre las formas privadas de urbanización y las problemáticas que subyacían en relación a la acción del Estado. Metodológicamente, se trabajará sobre el análisis, por un lado, de un conjunto de leyes y códigos vigentes para el área y por el otro sobre las transformaciones efectivas del territorio. Matizando lo que proponen las visiones más tradicionales, que dan un valor superlativo a las prácticas privadas, proponemos que el “crecimiento desordenado” del GBA obedeció a la dificultad de las reparticiones gubernamentales y de la normativa a leer las coordenadas específicas y adaptarse a los nuevos modelos de expansión.
Compensation for What? An Analysis of the Outcome in Arun Property Development (PTY) LTD v Cape Town City
Authors: Slade Bradley
Published: April 2016

In Arun Property Development (Pty) Ltd v Cape Town City the Constitutional Court awarded compensation for land that vested in the City of Cape Town in terms of a regulatory framework. The regulatory framework, sections 25 and 28 of the Cape Land Use Planning Ordinance of 1985 (LUPO), provides that land needed for public streets and places and indicated as such on a subdivision plan should vest in the local authority concerned, but without compensation if that land is based on the normal need of providing the particular development with such public streets and places. The appellant argued that since land in excess of the normal need also vested in the City, it had a right to be compensated for the excess land that vested in the City.

The Court, overturning two Supreme Court of Appeal decisions, awarded compensation. The Court hinted that the compensation was for the expropriation of the appellant's land that was excess to the normal need. In the absence of a formal expropriation procedure, this case note investigates whether the compensation could have been awarded for statutory expropriation or constructive expropriation.

Therefore, the question that is posed is whether the alleged expropriation for which the Court awarded compensation can be classified as either statutory expropriation or constructive expropriation. It is pointed out that the Court accepted that section 28 of the LUPO constitutes a development contribution for the land based on the normal need. In terms of the notion of development contributions, a developer has to donate land to the local authority concerned if that land is required to provide the particular development with public streets and places. A development contribution, as part of the administrative process of approving developments, is regulatory in nature and its validity is judged in terms of the requirements for a valid deprivation of property.

It is argued that since the Court interpreted section 28 of the LUPO to provide for development contributions, the alleged expropriation cannot be classified as statutory expropriation. Statutory expropriation occurs when legislation expropriates property directly through mere promulgation. In this case, the excess land vested in the City only after an administrative action was taken to approve a subdivision plan. It is also argued that statutory expropriation cannot be recognised in South African law, due to the constitutional requirements for a valid expropriation in section 25(2) of the Constitution.
The Language of Science and Readability. Correlations between Linguistic Features in TIMSS Science Items and the Performance of Different Groups of Swedish 8th Grade Students.
Authors: Persson Tomas
Published: April 2016

This study examines how linguistic features in the Swedish Grade 8 Science items from TIMSS 2011 correlate with results from different groups of students. The language use in different science subjects is analysed using four characteristic meaning dimensions of science: Packing, Precision, Presentation of information and Personification within the text, as well as using conventional measures of readability and information load.
For each subject, one or more of the meaning dimensions show statistically significant correlations with students’ performances. Many meaning dimensions shown to influence high performers’ results are not influencing low performers, and vice versa. The use of meaning dimensions is shown to be an enriching complementary method for analysing language use in science, as it links language use in items with student performances where conventional measures do not. Unexpected findings are that placing items in everyday contexts lowers the likelihood of them being answered correctly, and that skilled readers are aided by high precision in items whereas less skilled readers seems unaffected.
An art of porcelain painting in aspects of the professional socialization
Authors: Brants Inese
Published: April 2016

This report will take a brief look at socio-economic relation between porcelain painting artists, producers and consumers. The author will be drawing from the author’s experience gained in the visiting and resident time in more than 10 European porcelain factories, collaboration with Art universities, leading the Porcelain painting workshops at International Art Teacher and Porcelain Painting Symposia in Latvia and abroad. Personal experience and studying of International Porcelain painters organization home pages and over 100 china painters websites made it possible to analyze and compare the possibility of vocational training, the artist's creative career opportunities, professional literature and the membership in the professional organizations and institutions. Porcelain painting art is ceramic technology – based result of individual creativity. The socio-economic relation interaction between artist, producer and consumer marked historically important stages of development of the porcelain painting art. The education plays the crucial importance on the social integration processes of artist. The professional stratification and integration process realizes in the there distinct and isolated groups of porcelain painters – 1. An artists integrated in the porcelain industry. 2. An artists integrated in the ceramic art structures. 3. Artists integrated in the china painters organized structures. Balance between self-expression needs and material needs of the individual artist inability to self-realization problems. Internal needs depended on the artist as creative personality viability in porcelain factory. The opportunity to create personal studio contribute to the development of porcelain painting art, but the artist does not guarantee the competitiveness of the market and material support to the existence. The need to ensure the existence powered of professional socialization processes that result in porcelain painting artists replace existing or fit into other professional and public bodies. Latvia has its own tradition of porcelain art and great artists, but their creative potential sales opportunities in today's socio-economic conditions have not been investigated. In Latvia no more exist first group – in porcelain industry integrated artists, because porcelain industry no more existed. The third group, have not developed because the Latvian artists are not integrated into the International World China Painters organizations. In Latvia Porcelain painting as a hobby art are not very popular, so the knowledge and skills of porcelain painting is not yet a product of the request. The author reveals the socio-economic stratification of professional interaction – induced effects on an artist's creative performance and points to the social background to create a typology of porcelain painting art objects.

Published: April 2016

The open olympiads of home economics and technologies encourage pupils of grades 5-9 to be creative in applying textile techniques. They also popularize textile art. Purpose of the study is to analyse the results of pupils’ creative work during the 10th open olympiad of home economics and technologies. Method: analysis of textile works. 376 pupils’ works from the 1st round and 85 works of the 2nd round have been analysed and assessed according to the following criteria: compliance with the task, unity of composition, composition of colours, compatibility of materials, originality, quality of the technical accomplishment, functionality. In the olympiad traditional Latvian handicraft techniques and materials as well as elements of other cultures and modern materials have been used. The originality of works submitted for the 1st round is expressed in seek of untraditional forms, techniques and combination of materials. The analysis performed on the 2nd round of works reveals that creativeness appears in the selection of materials, attuning and combining techniques to a greater extent than in the design of composition.

Authors: Petry Alexandre Torres
Published: April 2016

Defende-se no presente artigo uma necessária aproximação entre o feminismo e o ensino jurídico, uma vez que o ensino jurídico não valoriza de forma adequada o importante movimento que é o feminismo, o qual luta pela afirmação de diversos direitos. Inicialmente, analisa-se o estágio em que se encontra o ensino jurídico, evidenciando-se verdadeira crise, o que justifica uma mudança de paradigma. Num segundo momento, afirma-se que a mudança começa pela adoção dos direitos humanos como o eixo central da educação jurídica e também de toda a educação. Após, explora-se o feminismo, analisando-se suas características e postulados para, ao final, concluir que o ensino jurídico e o feminismo devem estar intimamente ligados, já que ambos necessitam adotar um ideal comum: a luta pela erradicação das desigualdades.

Authors: Ilkowitz Jeniece Trast , Ramchandani Neesha ,   Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, New York, US,   New York University College of Nursing, New York, US
Published: April 2016

A cure for diabetes, either biological or mechanical, has been the dream of many for a very long time. Technological advances in closed loop/ artificial pancreas (CL/AP) therapy, accompanied by an improved understanding of how the human body and the CL/AP system works, are bringing the potential for a mechanical cure for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) closer to reality. This article discusses the components of the CL/AP system, describes its limitations, and reviews recent CL/AP research studies on multihormonal CL/AP treatments, exercise, dining out, and using the CL/AP in the outpatient setting. Future directions and grassroots efforts towards an automated insulin delivery system are also addressed. Study results are encouraging, and suggest that initial CL/AP systems may be available for the general public with T1DM in the next few years, despite current limitations.

Contamination of external sites with secretions or excretory products can mimic metastases and yield false positives in radioiodine whole-body scintigraphy for thyroid cancer. We present a case of a 26-year-old woman with differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma who received radioiodine 131 (I-131) for treatment of persistent upper mediastinal metastasis. Her post-treatment whole-body scintigraphy revealed an unexpected focus of increased uptake near the scalp in addition to the mediastinal lesion. Although the scalp is the most common site of cutaneous thyroid cancer metastasis, differentiated thyroid cancers rarely manifest with cutaneous thyroid cancer metastasis and thus it is prudent to consider etiologies of false positive I-131 uptake in such cases. Contamination of our patient’s hair from salivary secretions was confirmed on history and with coiffure repositioning during whole-body scintigraphy.
Epigenetic factors in atherogenesis: microRNA
Authors: Smirnova A.V. , Sukhorukov V.N. , Karagodin V.P. , Orekhov A.N.
Published: April 2016

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (~22 nucleotides in length) noncoding RNA sequences regulating gene expression at posttranscriptional level. MicroRNAs bind complementarily to certain mRNA and cause gene silencing. The involvement of miRNAs in the regulation of lipid metabolism, inflammatory response, cell cycle progression and proliferation, oxidative stress, platelet activation, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) function, angiogenesis and plaque formation and rapture indicates important roles in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. The key role of microRNAs in pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including atherosclerosis, was demonstrated in recent studies. Creating antisense oligonucleotides is a novel technique for selective changes in gene expression both in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we draw attention to the role of miRNAs in atherosclerosis progression, using miRNA as the potential biomarkers and targets in the CVDs, as well as possible application of antisense oligonucleotides
Oxidative modification of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase influences its interaction with endogenous neuroprotector isatin
Authors: Buneeva O.A. , Gnedenko O.V. , Medvedeva M.V. , Ivanov A.S. , Medvedev A.E.
Published: April 2016

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), a classical glycolytic redox sensitive enzyme, exhibits various non-glycolytic functions, which are considered to be especially important for progression of various neurodegenerative diseases. GAPDH binds isatin (indole-dione-2,3), an endogenous indole often used as a parent component in numerous derivatives demonstrating diverse pharmacological (including neuroprotector) activities. In this study we have investigated binding of intact and mildly oxidized GAPDH to immobilized isatin, using an optical biosensor technique, employing surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and the effect of isatin as a probe for this binding. Mild GAPDH oxidation by 70 mM H2O2 increased enzyme dissociation from immobilized isatin. Since GAPDH is considered as a putative target for various neuroprotector agents, this suggests that its redox state determines sensitivity to neuroprotective agents, and oxidative stress typical for various neurodegenerative disorders may significantly reduce pharmacological effectiveness of such compounds

Determination of relative position and orientation of nanosatellites by video image analysis
Authors: Simakov S. P. , Ustyugov E. V.
Published: April 2016

The article discusses the option of using video images to determine the orientation and the position of the second nanosatellite relative to the first one by a series of snapshots made by the first nanosatellite. Optical cameras installed on the first nanosatellite are used as measuring devices. A new approach has been developed to solve the task set. The approach includes an image processing algorithm, a genetic algorithm of differential evolution and a model of motion relative to the center of mass. The approach takes into account the requirements imposed on the nanosatellite hardware that sets limitations on the computational resource of the airborne digital computer and on the quality of images obtained from the optical camera. The developed approach is more economic than similar algorithms. The approach was verified by the benchmark problem of separating two nanosatellites in a short time interval. The dependence of the coordinates of the center of mass of the second satellite on the current orientation and pixel orientation target coordinates in the shot is revealed. The paper includes graphs of the error of determining orientation and position of the center of mass of the second satellite relative to the first one. The approach demonstrates acceptable accuracy in the range of up to 10 seconds for the problem under consideration. The accuracy decreases dramatically as the distance between the two nanosatellites increases.
Perfecting the methodology of determining the flexibility matrix of the «squirrel cage» in rotor supports of aviation gas-turbine engines
Authors: Degtyarev S. A. , Leontiev M. K. , Popov V. V.
Published: April 2016

Elastic-damping supports are widely spread in the design of aviation gas-turbine engines. These supports include elastic elements of the squirrel cage type. A methodology of calculating the flexibility matrix for the squirrel cage with straight rod elements of rectangular cross-section with account for groove rounding is presented in the paper. Determining the flexibility matrix is essential for constructing mathematical models of aviation gas turbine engines when solving problems of rotor dynamics. The methodology is based on the application of Mohr integral for beam constructions. The results obtained with the help of the methodology are compared with the results of calculations in the finite-element complex and with the results of calculation without regard for the rounding, as well as with results obtained by other authors.

Authors: Goryunova N. R. , Goryunov A. A.
Published: April 2016

Тhis article describes the concept of designing a pneumatic-hydraulic system of feeding fuel components to a liquid-propellant rocket engine based on mathematical models and the system approach. There are three levels of designing: the first level is that of designing separate components of the fuel feed system- at this level physical processes in the systems components are considered, their characteristics and external interactions are modeled; the second level is that of subsystems at this level the process of interaction between the systems elements is considered, internal connections between the elements and external interconnections of the systems subsystems are modeled; the third level is that of the fuel feed system as a whole -at this level the process of interaction between the subsystems is considered, internal connections between the subsystems and external connections with the engine and other systems are modeled. A multilevel mathematical model of the fuel feed system was constructed. On the basis of the model an emergency situation (a faulty element) is modeled and the element is replaced, with its characteristics in the subsystem of feeding the oxidizer to the engine being changed; the dependence of the damper blow-down parameters on the rate of change in the input flow to the engine in the course of its starting is obtained. The mathematical model is associated with resultant documents, which makes it possible to get a modified set of documentation automatically when changes are introduced in the engine fuel feed system.
Monostatic P-band radar system for advanced small satellites
Authors: Goryachkin O. V. , Zhengurov B. G. , Maslov I. V.
Published: April 2016

Currently, creation of space -based P-band radar systems is a vital problem in the development of Earth remote sensing systems. These systems make it possible to solve the problem of monitoring vegetation on the Earths surface, to carry out soil analysis and detect objects detecting hidden in foliage. Such systems are, however, difficult to produce due to the necessity of using large- aperture antenna systems. Expanding active phased arrays and reflector antennas are most common for the task. Structures of this kind are characterized by considerable mass and dimensions, which does not make it possible to regard small satellites as their carriers. A system with an array of four transceiving Yagis is proposed. The systems are shown to possess sufficient characteristics to solve the target tasks. The structures simplicity makes it possible to install the systems on small satellites, which drastically reduces the cost and time of production.
Constatação do “efeito sombra” e economia de recursos hídricos e de energia na irrigação do cafeeiro por meio de um pivô central convencional
Authors: Silva Nara Cristina de Lima , Assunção Washington Luiz
Published: April 2016

O pivô central é um sistema de irrigação que possibilita a aplicação de água em toda a área plantada. A observação do funcionamento de um pivô central convencional em campo, ao irrigar uma lavoura de cafeeiros adultos, possibilitou identificar um acúmulo de água nas extremidades dos dosséis das plantas em detrimento da região central das entrelinhas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo comprovar a influência do cafeeiro na interceptação da lâmina de irrigação aplicada por meio de um pivô central convencional, o que foi denominado pelos autores de “efeito sombra”. Além disso, o trabalho buscou constatar a possibilidade de economia de recursos hídricos e de energia em função do “efeito sombra”. O experimento foi realizado em uma área de 115,33ha plantada com duas cultivares do cafeeiro arábica (Cofeea arabica) onde foi coletada água aspergida pelo pivô central sob o dossel das plantas e nas entrelinhas. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente por meio de análise descritiva e análise de variância, utilizando-se o software Action®. Os resultados mostraram que as lâminas médias coletadas sob os dosséis foram maiores do que as lâminas médias coletadas nas entrelinhas para ambas as cultivares, e a lâmina interceptada pelo cafeeiro foi, em média, 30,4% maior que a lâmina real aplicada pelo equipamento, comprovando-se o “efeito sombra” e, portanto, a possibilidade de economia de recursos hídricos e de energia.

„Czy mogę o sobie powiedzieć: jestem Żydówką?”. O „Rodzinnej historii lęku” Agaty Tuszyńskiej
Authors: Żórawska Natalia
Published: April 2016

Celem niniejszego szkicu jest interpretacja „Rodzinnej historii lęku” Agaty Tuszyńskiej z perspektywy literatury holocaustowej. Tuszyńska, jako pisarka należąca do pokolenia poholocaustowego, w „Rodzinnej historii lęku” prezentuje wątki autobiograficzne ściśle związane z problematyką Zagłady. Kwestię tę rozpatruje z perspektywy dorosłej kobiety, która nosi w sobie piętno Holocaustu. Jako przedstawicielka drugiego pokolenia nie przeżyła czasów wojny, ale jej skutki, w formie spadku przejętego od matki, odczuwa po dziś dzień. Autorka szkicu wykazuje, że zarówno na płaszczyźnie formy, jak i treści, posttrauma jest kluczowym aspektem dla interpretacji tekstu. Artykuł jest więc próbą zarysowania problematyki kobiecej prozy holocaustowej na przykładzie książki Agaty Tuszyńskiej, wpisania tego utworu w krąg badań prowadzonych w ramach trauma studies oraz współczesnych rozważań literaturoznawczych na temat Zagłady.
O poszukiwaniach ponowoczesnego sposobu wyrażania tradycji romantycznej
Authors: Kurska Anna
Published: April 2016

Zajmują mnie powiązania kultury ponowoczesnej z tradycją romantyczną: twór-cze sposoby jej wyrażania oraz takie, które wiążą się z procesem petryfikacji ro-mantyzmu. Proponuję syntetyczne ujęcie, które pozwala pokazać charakter na-wiązań obecnych w ponowoczesnej sztuce: od pastiszy i intertekstualnych gier z romantycznymi tekstami po sprzeciw wobec romantycznych mitów kształtują-cych wyobrażenia o wspólnocie narodowej. Nadto przywołuję romantyczne tropy w geopoetyce tworzonej przez Kennetha White, propagującego powrót do natury i odwołującego się do twórczości Friedricha Hölderlina, Nowalisa, Walta Whitmana. Wskazuję na związki z romantyzmem w eseistyczno-historycznej literaturze podejmującej reinterpretację dziewiętnastowiecznej historii. Przede wszystkim jednak interesują mnie więzi romantyzmu z popkulturą, zwłaszcza dotyczące odnawiania języka narracji o historycznym doświadczeniu Polaków. Panoramę powiązań kultury współczesnej z tradycją romantyczną w ujęciu syn-tetycznym dopełniam interpretacją, pozwalającą wnikliwiej odsłonić wielopla-nowość odniesień do romantyzmu w ponowoczesnej sztuce. Pokazuję, w jaki sposób Radosław Rychcik przełożył „Dziady” Mickiewicza na język popkultury oraz jakie problemy wiążą się z tego typu interpretacją tekstu dawnego. Przed-stawiona sieć powiązań, przekonuje o potrzebie wypracowania otwartej i dynamicznej postawy wobec dzieł, w których odnaleźć można asocjacje między tradycją romantyczną a popkulturą.

Studying the protective effect of gamma-irradiated basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) against methotrexate-induced liver and renal toxicity in rats
Authors: El Shahat A. N. , El-Shennawy H. M. , Abd El-Megid Mohamed H. M.
Published: April 2016

The efficacy of methotrexate (MTX), a widely used cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent, is often limited by severe hepatic and renal toxicity. Basil has shown antioxidant and antimicrobial activities due to its phenolic and aromatic compounds. Here, the aim of this work was to investigate the effect of g-radiation processing on the total phenolic and total flavonoids content of dried basil as well as to study the protective role of g-irradiated dried basil leaves against MTX-induced hepatic and renal toxicity in rats. Results obtained that g-radiation treatment increased the amount of total phenolic and total flavonoids content of dried basil. Additionally, the results demonstrated that the MTX (in saline, 20 mg/kg) given to rats on the day 21 of the experiment resulted in significant elevation in the activities of serum alanine and aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase and the levels of serum urea, creatinine and uric acid as well as the concentration of hepatic and renal malondialdehyde and xanthine oxidase accompanied with a depression in hepatic glutathione content and xanthine dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in comparison with control and treated groups. Addition of either raw or g-irradiated basil (1%) to the diet of MTX-rats has significantly reduced the activities of serum enzymes and the levels of serum urea, creatinine and uric acid accompanied by ameliorating the alteration in the antioxidant/oxidant status of the liver and kidney. It was concluded that basil can protect against MTX-induced hepatic and renal injury and may be of therapeutic potential in alleviating the systemic side effects of this chemotherapeutic agent.

Published: April 2016

Background: Anthropometry, the science of measurement of living subjects has been shown to be useful in reconstructive surgery and in orthodontics, where the soft tissue morphology of the face can be studied more reliably as compared to radiographs.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to create base data of the vertical measurements of the lower lips and proportion of lower lip parameters.

Material and Methods: The study comprises of lower lip proportion of 600 North Indian adults (300 males and 300 females). Prior informed written consent for this study was obtained from the subjects. The exclusion and inclusion criteria for the subjects were predefined. The measurements were statistically analyzed by using 't test' by SPSS version 15.

Results: The lower lip parameters showed sex dimorphism. The height of cutaneous lower lip, height of vermilion lower lip and total lower lip height was significantly (p<0.001) more in males. Two Lip indices was calculated. The lip index 2 was significantly more in males.

Conclusion: In case of lower lip, less than half of total lower lip height was occupied by cutaneous portion of lower lip and rest was covered by vermilion portion of lower lip. This study highlights the applied significance of observations of present study to forensic namely personal identification, racial and sex dimorphic criteria of identification.

Published: April 2016

Arteria comitans nervi ischiadici or Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly with an incidence varying 0.025-0.04 % . During routine dissection in department of anatomy an incomplete type of Persistent sciatic artery was found which is being reported here. Its oncogeny and phylogeny is also discussed in detail. Such a PSA is prone to atheromatous degeneration, thrombosis, distal thromboembolism, aneurysm formation and rupture. Although rare, the possibility of such an anomaly must be borne in mind with certain clinical presentations , during orthopedic procedures on the hip and during angiographic studies of the leg. Successful surgical correction of problems necessitates excluding the anomalous artery from the circulation while revascularizing the lower exterimity.
The Paradigm of Plural Islamic Theology in Indonesia
Authors: M Sirajuddin , Dahlan Moh
Published: April 2016

Indonesia's plural society requires the formulation and relationships of life that are not taken for granted, but must be inclusive, progressive and pluralistic. If there is no scientific paradigm with its plural character, then there will be attitude that tends to be repressive or al-taṭarruf (extreme). The repressive act or the imposition of theological understanding will lead to destruction or conflict.

OTAN: la cumbre del nuevo siglo
Authors: Rodríguez Mojón Marisa
Published: April 2016

Las dos últimas cumbres que ha celebrado la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte, en Washington (1999),- y en Praga (Noviembre de 2002), tenían como objetivo acordar aquellos cambios que permitieran a esta organización de defensa acomodarse a las transformaciones del entorno, tanto las resultantes de la globalización del sistema internacional, como las derivadas de1 brutal ataque terrorista contra los Estados U nidos que tuvo lugar el 11 de Septiembre de 2001.

Globalización entendida coma un fenómeno que desborda la simple transformación de las relaciones económicas mundiales, para implicar a la totalidad de las interacciones: políticas, sociales, culturales, económicas, y de seguridad, así como a la velocidad a la que éstas se realizan. Incluyendo 1a permeabilidad de fronteras, y la compresión de distancias. La transformación de riesgos y amenazas que se previó al terminar la guerra fría ha dejado de ser un presupuesto teórico después del 11 de Septiembre de 2001. Hasta tal punto, que se ha creado un nuevo escenario, dentro del cual considerar que la eficacia de la OTAN podría mantenerse sin alterar el concepto que la concibió como una "maquinaria de guerra" exclusivamente, se hubiera quedado muy corto.

Published: April 2016

Indonesia merupakan negara yang memiliki bermacam-macam suku dan adat istiadat. Dilihat adanya beragam budaya yang ada sehingga pemerintah diharuskan menjaganya untuk dapat dilestarikan dengan baik. Untuk mengetahui dan mengenal budaya-budaya tradisional dari berbagai daerah maka diperlukan sebuah data base yang dapat mencakup tentang pengetahuan tradisional di Indonesia. Database ini juga dapat dipergunakan sebagai sumber informasi yang dapat diakses baik Internasional maupun domestik. Dalam hal ini pemerintah pusat dan pemerintah daerah diberikan kewenangan untuk menginventarisasikan Ekspresi Budaya Tradisional. Upaya menuju pembuatan database sudah mulai di wacana kan oleh Pemerintah dalam hal ini Kementrian Hukum dan Ham Direktorat Jenderal Hak Kekayaan Intelektual. Walaupun dalam hal ini pengelolaan Ekspresi Budaya Tradisional merupakan perlindungan defensif, maka perlu di bangun sistem yang sangat mendukung guna melakukan kewenangan tersebut, seperti apa dan bagaimana sistem itu dibuat dan diimplementasikan oleh pemerintah pusat maupun pemerintah daerah? Maka, tulisan ini akan membahas tentang peran pemerintah, pemerintah daerah, dan lembaga yang mempunyai kewenangan yaitu Direktorat Jenderal Hak Kekayaan Intelektual untuk mengemukakan tentang konsep dokumentasi dan inventarisasi Ekspresi Budaya Tradisional secara terstruktur sebagai upaya perlindungan Pengetahuan Tradisional.
ADAPTASI KONSEP IMBAL JASA LINGKUNGAN SEBAGAI PERSYARATAN PENDAFTARAN PATEN YANG MENGGUNAKAN BAHAN SUMBER DAYA GENETIK DI INDONESIA
Authors: Andini Vika
Published: April 2016

Eksploitasi sumber daya alam tidak hanya mempunyai dampak pada keseimbangan ekosistem lingkungan hidup namun juga bagi masyarakat pengemban sumber daya genetik yang bersangkutan. Masyarakat pengemban sumber daya genetik sebenarnya adalah pihak yang paling berhak untuk menikmati keuntungan komersial dari sumber daya genetik yang diembannya. Keterbatasan teknologi membuat industri lebih banyak menikmati keuntungan komersial dari penggunaan sumber daya genetik ini. Perlindungan dan pembagian manfaat terhadap penggunaan sumber daya genetik perlu dipertegas dalam instrumen hukum nasional yang ada. Ketentuan mengenai perlindungan dan pembagian manfaat dalam penggunaan sumber daya genetik tidak hanya dapat diatur dalam instrumen hukum lingkungan, namun seharusnya pada instrumen hukum hak kekayaan intelektual seperti hukum paten yang erat kaitannya dengan penggunaan sumber daya genetik.
PROBLEM HUKUM REGULASI LMK & LMKN SEBAGAI PELAKSANAAN UNDANG-UNDANG HAK CIPTA 2014
Authors: Sardjono Agus
Published: April 2016

UUHC 2014 sudah berlaku sejak bulan Oktober 2014. Berbagai pasal dalam UU tersebut masih mengandung potensi masalah, terutama yang berkaitan dengan hak cipta atas music, karena sifatnya yang multi tafsir. Kondisi multi tafsir tersebut terutama berkenaan dengan pengaturan tentang Lembaga Manajemen Kolektif. Peraturan Menteri Hukum dan HAM No. 29 Tahun 2014 justru menambah potensi masalah karena adanya beberapa kekeliruan pengaturan menyangkut pembentukan LMKN dan kewenangan yang diembankan kepadanya. Masalah itu cukup terasa, terutama bila dilakukan analisis doctrinal. Tulisan ini mencoba mengungkapkan berbagai masalah yang dimaksud.
Crime Stories: Posnerian Pragmatism, Rawlsian Pure Procedural Justice, and the Fictional Problem
Authors: Morss John R
Published: April 2016

[There are many different ways in which law and truth may be said to be related. It is perhaps in the criminal trial that connections between them are of most signifi- cance. An orthodox way of describing a criminal trial is that the criminal procedure is seeking to establish the truth concerning some past event, and that success of the procedure is measured by how close its outcome converges with that truth. Crimi- nal justice presents the community with challenging dilemmas in this regard, such as those arising from the notion of double jeopardy. This paper discusses the Rawl- sian notions of ‘imperfect’, ‘perfect’ and ‘pure’ procedural justice, and suggests against Rawls that it is pure procedural justice that best represents what we want from a criminal justice system. Good procedure makes good criminal law. A com- parison is made with the writings of Habermas and Posner, and given that pure procedural justice eschews transcendental truths, some brief comments are made on the convergence of that position with the realm of the fictional.]
REFINING THE ROLE OF THE CORPORATION: THE IMPACT OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ON SHAREHOLDER PRIMACY THEORY
Authors: GROSSMAN HUGH ALEXANDER
Published: April 2016

[Evidence indicates that we may be witnessing a redefinition of traditional theories of the role of the corporation. Traditional shareholder primacy theory contends that a corporation is primarily responsible to its share- holders to maximise wealth, consequently social factors should not inter- fere in a corporation’s business operations. In the modern business setting however, a company’s core objective of profit maximisation must be un- derpinned by a proactive approach to corporate social responsibility in order to manage and mitigate a broader array of risk factors. Managing risk via community engagement and the implementation of socially re- sponsible strategies is increasingly linked to business success and stake- holder confidence. Intangibles such as trust, ethics, corporate culture, employee satisfaction, environmental behaviour and community responsi- bility are increasingly relevant to consumers, business partners, govern- ments, special interest groups, existing and potential employees and investors.] 
TICKING BOMBS AND TORTURE WARRANTS*
Authors: KLEINIG JOHN
Published: April 2016

[The ‘ticking bomb’ argument is frequently advanced to justify the use of torture. But its terms can be taken either as setting the bar too high to jus- tify any actual torture or alternatively as opening the door to torture in other cases as well. The paper explores both uses of the argument but sug- gests that any official sanctioning of torture is likely to erode moral con- straints on its use. There are reasons why torture is special and, even if it will continue to occur, it should not be officially countenanced. This in- cludes the use of torture warrants, supposedly intended to limit the fre- quency and severity of torture.] 
One Accused's Evidence of Another's Criminal Disposition
Authors: Ross David
Published: April 2016

This article examines the introduction of evidence by one accused of the criminal disposition of another in a joint trial. Often such evidence is used by an accused to say that he did not commit the offence, the other accused did. The evidence is also introduced to show duress.
The article examines the relevance of such evidence and its justification. Then it shows how the evidence is used in practice and what the appeal courts say about it. The next part examines the different modes of such evidence and their different effects. The last part examines the judge’s discretion to exclude such evidence in the setting of the need to conduct a fair trial and direct a jury properly.]
A European Saving Test for Section 92 of the Australian Constitution
Authors: Puig Gonzalo Villalta
Published: April 2016

This article celebrates the recent decision of the High Court of Australia in Betfair Pty Ltd v Western Australia to revise the uniquely Australian concept of abridged proportionality that frames the Cole v Whitfield saving test for section 92 of the Australian Constitution. The critique that the article makes of abridged proportionality takes the form of a comparison
with the continental European concept of robust proportionality. The comparison reveals that, unlike robust proportionality, abridged proportionality poses a twofold risk: one, that the test might save laws or measures that have a discriminatory effect on interstate trade and commerce if they have a purpose that is not protectionist; and, two, that the
test might not save laws or measures that, in effect, legitimately regulate interstate trade and commerce if they have a purpose that is indeed protectionist. Thus, the article argues that abridged proportionality cannot preserve the Australian common market with the same level of strength that robust proportionality has. In conclusion, the article celebrates the fact that, since Betfair Pty Ltd v Western Australia, the High Court of Australia is now free to analyse not only the purpose but also the effect of any law or measure under challenge when it considers future cases on section 92.
