Published: November 2021

The study conducted a theoretical review and review of previous studies shows that the research gap is the correlation between social responsibility factors, green marketing strategy, corporate reputation and business performance. The practical context of the tourism service industry in Vietnam is also necessary and suitable for research. The study's overall objective is to propose and test a model on the relationship between corporate social responsibility, green marketing strategy, corporate reputation, and business performance. In the case of the study, it is a travel service business in Ho Chi Minh City. The research methodology of the research is a mixed-method, performed sequentially as follows: the first qualitative research through interviews with 10 experts to consider the necessity of the research problem in Vietnam, to adjust and supplement the scales for research concepts; Quantitative research with a questionnaire survey. According to the quota principle (quota), the sample was selected with a sample size of 218 travel companies to test the proposed theoretical research model. A second qualitative study was performed to aid the interpretation of the results from quantitative data analysis. Research results have identified stakeholders in the tourism industry, including tourists, travel businesses, local authorities and local people. The relationships between research concepts are confirmed, including corporate social responsibility, green marketing strategies that have a positive impact on corporation reputation, corporate social responsibility is found to have a positive impact on green marketing strategies, corporate social responsibility, green marketing strategies, and corporate reputation all have positive effects on business results. At the same time, the enterprise's characteristics in terms of the main type of business and the size of the business are identified as having differences in the relationship between research concepts.

Authors: Altamimi Ammar Sabeeh Hmoud , Kaittan Ali Mohsin
Published: November 2021

Most encryption techniques are deals with English language, but that deals with Arabic language are few. Therefore, many researchers interests with encryption ciphers that applied on text which wrote in Arabic language. This reason is behind this paper. In this paper, there are three cipher methods implemented together on Arabic text. Using more than one cipher method is increase the security of algorithm used. Each letter of plaintext is encrypted by a specified cipher method. Selection process of one of three cipher methods used in this work is done by controlling process that selects one cipher method to encrypt one letter of plaintext. The cipher methods that used in this paper are RSA, Playfair and Vignere. Each one of them has different basis mathematical model. This proposed encryption Arabic text method gives results better than previous related papers.
Use GARCH Models to Build a Econometric Model to Predict Average Daily Closing Prices of the Iraqi Stock Exchange for the Period 2013-2016
Authors: Hamad Dr. Abed Ali , Battal Dr. Ahmad Hussein
Published: November 2021

This research aims to build a standard model for the analysis and prediction of the average daily closing price fluctuations for companies registered in the Iraq Stock Exchange for the period 07/01/2013 to 30/06/2016, using the conditional generalized Heteroscedasticity Generalized Autoregressive (GARCH) models. As these models deal with the fluctuations that occur in the financial time series. The results of the analysis showed that the best model for predicting the volatility of average closing prices in the Iraq Stock Exchange is the EGARCH model (3,1), depending on the statistical criteria used in the preference between the models (Akaike Information Criterion, Schwarz Criterion), and these models can provide information for investors in order to reduce the risk resulting from fluctuations in stock prices in the Iraqi financial market.
Detection of Outdated Sensors in Wireless Network via a New Protocol
Authors: Thuwaib Hasanian Ali , Abd-Ali Ridhab Sami , Ali Altai Safaa Hadi Abdula
Published: November 2021

A novel method is proposed using the nonlinear mapping with kernel functions to correctly locate the outdated sensors in a wireless sensor network (WSN). Such detection system used Cornell regression and solved via the vector support regression (VSR) plus multi-dimensional backup vector regression (MBVSR). The developed method was simplistic and effective without the need of any additional hardware for any measurement. It required only the vicinity and information of location from the anchor nodes to detect the outdated sensors. It was achieved in three stages including the measurements, kernel regression, and stepping stage. First step measured the proximity information from a given grid. The relationships between the proximity and geographic distance among the sensors’ nodes were generated in the kernel regression stage. For the stepping phase, every sensor node found its location in the distributed way via the kernel regression. Simulation results showed the robustness and high efficiency of the proposed scheme.

Survey on Opportunistic Routing Protocols in Multihop Wireless Networks
Authors: Deeptha R.
Published: November 2021

Routing is portrayed as one of the most important prevailing challenges in research with reference to multi-hop networks in a wireless environment. Opportunistic routing (OR) protocol is an emerging area related to research, due to the improvement in communication reliability, compared to the traditional routing models. The major perception related to OR is to determine a group of neighboring node candidates, named as a candidate set using the advantages of broadcast capability of the wireless medium thereby to collaboratively transmit data packets towards the destination using the coordination of the forwarded candidate set. The design and performance of OR protocols over multi-hop wireless networks mainly depend on the processes of forwarding selection of candidates and assignment of priorities. Therefore, the researchers have designed and developed several different algorithms for those OR processes. In this paper, following a short outline on traditional routing and OR protocols, metrics involved in the design of existing OR protocols, classification of OR based protocols, and hurdles in the design of OR protocols over multi-hop wireless networks are examined. More precisely, the OR protocols are divided into two categories, based on the forwarding candidate set selection and forwarding candidate coordination methods. Furthermore, the most significant challenges of OR protocol design, such as prioritization of forwarding candidates, utilizing the cross-layer approach for candidate coordination, and achieving the quality of service also investigated.

Published: November 2021

Indonesian government implement the moratorium on consignment of its migrant workers to Saudi Arabia after a migrant worker whose name is Ruyati was sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia in 2011. The moratorium is expected to ensure the safety of migrant workers. However, it has further impacted on migrant workers and becomes an issue of Indonesia - Saudi Arabia relations. We investigate the efforts of protecting Indonesian migrant workers from the Indonesian diplomatic representatives and its impacts on Indonesian relations with these countries. We conduct interviews with the representatives of the Indonesian Government and Indonesian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. The findings are analysed with human security perspective, responsibility to protect (R2P) in the context of international migration. We argue that protection efforts based on human security to those migrant workers could leverage the position of Indonesia in its relations with Saudi Arabia. The problem of Indonesian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia is a complex issue, therefore we suggest further research to highlight the issue from the perspectives of the workers and cultural differences between those two nations.
The Internet of Things: Trends and Development Prospects

Published: November 2021

This article looks at the trends and development prospects of the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is viewed as a strategic factor in economic growth that leads to the emergence of new business segments, changes in the existing business models, the structure of industry markets, economy, and society in general, and evolution of the legal matter. The newly developed socio-economic relations are transforming into legal relations. Smart contracts suggest looking at the classical legal doctrine of contractual law from a different angle. The objective of the research is to examine the specific features and development prospects of the Internet of Things, analyze the existing frameworks of its legal coverage, their advantages and disadvantages, and suggest optimal conditions for the regulation of the Internet of Things. In the course of the creation of this article, the following methods are used: methods of gathering and studying individual facts; the generalization method; the method of scientific abstraction; the method of pattern recognition; methodological objectivity, specificity, and pluralism. According to the conclusion made in this article, the Internet of Things represents a network of identified objects that interact with each other and with the external environment via the Internet and embedded systems without human involvement. The usage of the Internet of Things in the context of big data leads to information legal relations when information can serve as an object of economic turnover. At the same time, from the perspective of civil law, exchange of information is viewed as rendering service or relations connected with results of intellectual activity, including databases and know-how. However, these concepts do not apply to the sphere of the Internet of Things. Thus, it is necessary to develop an approach that would make provisions for a legal framework allowing defining information as a subject of civil transactions.

Authors: Idris Idris , Wahyudi Sugeng
Published: November 2021

As part of job design program, job rotation is more focused on creating new atmosphere for employees. The employees have diverse abilities as well as skills which impact on motivation for doing their duty. The research was conducted at a cigarette company that developed machine-rolled kretek cigarette technology. The company has rotated employee jobs in production and packaging. The research was conducted by conducting interviews and observations in the company. The results showed that job rotation did not have a significant effect on employee performance. However, job rotation has a positive and significant effect on work motivation. Work motivation also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The managerial implication of the study showed that employees' performance will improve with the good job rotation preparation. Information about the job rotation should be gave in the beginning in order to provide employees' opportunities for developing their passion as well as build effective two way communication

Przestrzenie lokalnej demokracji. Szkic z gdańskiej perspektywy
Authors: Mendel Maria
Published: November 2021

This article is an expression of thinking about the spaces of local democracy, which was based on the research project “Gdańsk as a Shared Place” (2014–2015). Due to the fact that the theses and results of this ‘old’ project are updated in the light of the deepening crisis of the social in the pandemic conditions, I present in the article the content selected from the research report, hopefully emphasizing their impor- tance in shaping various, sometimes surprising forms and places of democracy. I am doing this, counting on the fruitful expansion of the field of understanding and practicing bond-forming, communal forms of social life. Thus, I follow the path that Professor Stanisław Kawula (1939–2014) pioneered in social pedagogy, tirelessly describing the social condition and – thus – updating the dimensions of democracy in various perspectives [for example, in relation to the diagnosed risks (2003; 2005 etc.)]. Hence, I dedicate this text to him, and choosing the horizon of local experience, I want to draw attention to the meaning of research descriptions of this local dimension, which is especially important today, in a social crisis condi- tion. I conclude with a reflection on the meanings of non-consensual democracy, inscribed in urbanity as a way of social life, and emphasize the importance of a neighborhood which – literally: having a place – locates democracy in a special way. Such a location allows us to capture its essential meanings and show the democratic productivity of everyday, neighborly production of commonality, that is the common good, constantly crumble and constantly arouse mutual attention and ask for care.
Wspólnotowość (w) edukacji. Problem demokratycznego współistnienia
Authors: Segiet Waldemar
Published: November 2021

What I associate with the title of this article is the potential of discussions on education, which is also confirmed by attempts to combine themes selected from within it with those concerning community. I propose a precise study, which includes many pointers, and also doubts, concerning the role of edu- cation itself, mainly in the implementation of social cohesion and activities for fostering the integration of those involved in it. A specific feature of these reflections on the need to achieve community, and to confirm it in and through education, is the encouragement to engage in issues related to social (dis) integration, which is intentionally filled with aspects directly related to democracy itself.
Interrogating the Socio-Cultural Experiences of the Urhobo People in the Urhobo Disco Music and the Role of the Radio Media
Authors: Okpeki Philo Igue
Published: November 2021

Often times, music has been seen as an art form which embodies and boasts a lot of rich socio-cultural experiences and expressions. More so, is the Urhobo music which embodies so many cultural values that are impalpable yet so much cherished. It is observed that the traditional music of the Urhobo, which includes the Urhobo Disco music by Okpan Arhibo, is used in various socio-cultural contexts such as burials, in-law greetings, marriages, birthday and naming ceremonies, amongst others.It is the concern of this paper, therefore, to investigate the effectiveness of the role of the radio in broadcasting music, particularly of the Urhobo of Delta State, Nigeria, as a way of promoting the socio-cultural ex- periences of the Urhobo nationality. The paper adopts both the phenomenological and cultural schema theories. The descriptive survey research design is also employed to enable the collection of data from the Management of JFM Radio (95.1fm) and Melody FM (88.6fm), as well as twenty-six participants that were engaged in interview sessions, using a Self-responded Interview Questionnaire of ten vali- dated items involving the Likert moderated type rating scale of four points. Generated data were sub- jected to simple statistics of the mean and standard deviation. Findings show that the compendium of Urhobo music by radio stations enables the spread of the cultural and social experience of the Urhobo people beyond their region. The paper concludes that radio broadcast of traditional music ensures that the cultural experience of the Urhobo is sustained. Hence, the paper recommended that radio stations should give sufficient airtime for the broadcast of Urhobo Disco music. This will allow for the spread of the Urhobo experience in Delta State, Nigeria.
Towards a Marxist Biocentric Climate Justice Theory of African Cinema
Authors: Okpadah Stephen Ogheneruro
Published: November 2021

African cinema after colonialism examined issues on politics, polemics of gender, morality, historical reconstruction, resuscitation of cultural values and so on. All of the above were the pivot on which postcolonial African films were hinged. The rise of environmental consciousness in the 1980s through the 1990s championed by William Rueckert, Cheryll Glotfelty, Harold Fromm and Adrian Ivakhiv’s Bio- centrism created spaces for the African filmmaker’s search for climate justice with the medium of his art. It is pertinent to note that traditional African societies were ecocentric precursory to their encounter with the West. This Biocentric nature of indigenous Africa, the dislocation of the continent by capital- ism and the effect of climate change on the continent made it easy for the African creative artist and filmmaker to venture into the ecological film enterprise. Laden in some of these films are the socio- economic, political and environmental thoughts of Karl Marx, Ali Mazrui, Omafume Onoge and William Ruekert. Despite the above, there abounds a dearth of holistic environmental theories that bridges the economic, political and environmental Humanities. To this end, I propound a Marxist Biocentric Climate Justice theory which encapsulates political, economic and environmental processes. I adopt content analysis method to situate Christoffer Guldbrandsen’s Why Poverty? Stealing Africa (2012) and Orlando Von Einsiedel’s Virunga (2014) in the context of the theory being propounded.
Deep Brain Stimulation for Cockayne Syndrome-Associated Movement Disorder
Authors: Domino Joseph S. , Gelineau-Morel Rose , Kaufman Christian
Published: November 2021

Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare progeroid disorder characterized by multisystem degeneration, including neurological dysfunction, for which deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a proposed treatment. This study represents only the third case of DBS for CS-associated movement disorder and the first in which both proposed targets had devices implanted, allowing for direct comparison. A case of DBS for CS-associated movement disorder is presented. Previous literature documents two cases with one targeting the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (VIM) and the other targeting the globus pallidus interna (GPi). Our patient underwent stimulation of GPi nuclei followed by repositioning to VIM nuclei with improved symptom control using VIM stimulation. In all cases, there was a significant clinical benefit without off-target effects. CS-associated movement disorder exhibits phenotypic variability for which DBS is a viable treatment. Target selection should be driven by clinical phenotype.

In linear optical processes, compact and effective wavefront shaping techniques have been developed with the artificially engineered materials and devices in the past decades. Recently, wavefront shaping of light at newly generated frequencies was also demonstrated using nonlinear photonic crystals and metasurfaces. However, the nonlinear wave-shaping devices with both high nonlinear optical efficiency and high wave shaping efficiency are difficult to realize. To circumvent this constraint, we propose the idea of metasurface decorated optical crystal to take the best aspects of both traditional nonlinear crystals and photonic metasurfaces. In the proof-of-concept experiment, we show that a silicon nitride metasurface decorated quartz crystal can be used for the wavefront shaping of the second harmonic waves generated in quartz. With this crystal-metasurface hybrid platform, the nonlinear vortex beam generation and nonlinear holography were successfully demonstrated. The proposed methodology may have important applications in nonlinear structured light generation, super-resolution imaging, and optical information processing, etc.

Fiatalok oltási hajlandósága koronavírus ellen és ennek hatása a pécsi és baranyai turizmusra, vendéglátásra és szórakoztatóiparra
Authors: Sütő Annamária , Németh Tímea , Sütő Balázs , Trócsányi András
Published: November 2021

Az új típusú koronavírus (SARS-CoV-2)-fertőzés 2019 második felében indult útjára a kínai Vuhanból, Magyarországon pedig 2020. március 4-én diagnosztizálták a legelső fertőzött beteget. Ezután gyors és drasztikus lezárások mentek végbe az országban, Európa és a világ számos országához hasonlóan. Ennek következménye jelentős gazdasági visszaesés volt, ami a mai napig érezteti a hatását. A járvány vége egyelőre nem belátható, de a védőoltás jelentheti a megoldást a megfékezésére. A védőoltási hajlandóság azonban nagyon változó a magyar populációban, különösen a fiatalok körében, akik viszont jelentős szerepet játszanak Pécs és Baranya turizmusában, vendéglátásában és szórakoztató iparában.
Kutatásunk célja az volt, hogy válaszokat találjunk a védőoltási hajlandóságra a fiatalok körében és arra, hogy ez hogyan hat majd a pécsi és baranyai turizmusra, vendéglátásra és szórakoztató iparra. A kutatás során vegyes kutatási módszert alkalmaztunk: online kérdőíveket készítettünk 15-30 év közötti magyar és külföldi fiatalok körében, illetve félig strukturált interjúkat Pécsett és Baranyában élő gazdasági szereplőkkel, egyetemi vezetőkkel és a Virológiai Nemzeti Laboratórium vezetőjével.
Eredményeink alapján a fiatalok körében 56%-os volt az oltási hajlandóság, azonban, ha a jelenlegi korlátozások megszüntetése az átoltottságon múlna, a fiatalok 71%-a beadatná a védőoltást. A válaszadók többsége lényegesen többet tervez majd költeni, ha véget ér a járvány, az az előtti költekezéseikhez képest. Ez segíteni fogja újraindítani a pécsi és baranyai gazdaságot, azon belül is főként a turizmust, vendéglátást és szórakoztatóipart.

Egy építési baleset és hatása - Piátsek Gyula pécsi építőmester pályája
Authors: Pilkhoffer Mónika
Published: November 2021

1883.június 6-án baleset történt egy pécsi építkezésen, melynek következtében 2 munkás meghalt, 10 pedig különböző súlyosságú sérüléseket szenvedett. Ez a hír önmagában még nem lenne túlságosan érdekes, hiszen építési balesetek gyakran történtek a dualizmus korában. Ám annak köszönhetően, hogy a korabeli sajtó a balesetet követő büntetőper tárgyalását teljes egészében közölte, jól rekonstruálhatókká váltak az események. Ez a cikk az építőmester életútjának és a per kimenetelének segítségével azt mutatja be, milyen hatást gyakorolt ez a szerencsétlen eset Piátsek Gyula munkásságára. Különös aspektusa a történetnek, hogy a pécsi Széchenyi tér 16. számú épület falának leomlása miatt gondatlanságból elkövetett emberöléssel megvádolt mester 20 évvel később azzal gyanúsította meg a városháza terveit készítő Lang Adolf budapesti építészt, hogy az épület számára túlságosan vékony falakat tervezett, és félő, hogy az épület összedől, úgy, mint a Lang által 1875-ben tervezett fővárosi Stein-palota.
Arany János nagykőrösi évei (1851‒1860) a levelezései tükrében I. – Az előzmények története (1849‒1851)
Authors: Oláh Róbert
Published: November 2021

Arany János életét és műveit számtalan oldalról közelítették meg nem csupán a jelen, hanem a poétával korabeli életrajzírók, kutatók, a közeli vagy éppen távoli családtagok is. A költő életútját rendre több és egymástól némiképp igencsak eltérő, de fő vonásaiban mégiscsak azonos településekkel, nevezhetjük „mérföldkövekkel” is értelmezhetjük.
Ilyen volt Szalonta, Debrecen, Kisújszállás, Geszt, Budapest és természetesen Nagykőrös is. Mindegyik esetében tudnunk kell, hogy nem csupán pozitívuma volt az állomásainak, hanem egyben az élet rendje szerinti negatívumai is. Szükséges azonban ezen hatásokat kritikával kezelnünk, hiszen a pillanatnyi állapot nem tükrözheti egyetlen ember életének egy hosszabb vagy nagyobb állomását sem, és bár befolyásolhatja azt, de semmiképp sem irányíthatja. Célom a nagykőrösi évek olyan szemléletű bemutatása, amely során Arany személyét műveitől kissé távolabb helyezve a gondolkodó, írásában másik arcát mutató költőt mutathassam be a korabeli magánlevelezései tükrében. Ebben leginkább a költő életét és műveit roppant körültekintően feldolgozó kritikai kiadások voltak hasznomra, melyek szükségszerűsége vitathatatlan, illetve azok a pontos forrásközléseken túl végtelen szintetizálásra adnak lehetőséget. A levelek címzettjei, gyakorisága és tartalma mind rámutatnak a költő azon életszakaszára, mikor is egy új városban, új célokkal megbirkózva kellett helytállnia nem csupán férjként vagy apaként, hanem a nemzetet úgy szolgálva, hogy a nyílt rebellió mindenfajta eszköze és megnyilvánulása a legsúlyosabb büntetést vonhatta maga után. De Arany megtalálta ennek is a módját, így sorait újra értelmezve a XIX. század országos eseményeinek hű bemutatójává válhat az „Alföld szívének” miliője, így Arany városa: Nagykőrös és annak feledhetetlen irodalmi világa.
Többszörösen vitatott többszörös intelligenciák

Howard Gardner, a Harvard Egyetem 2020-ban centenáriumát ünnepelt Harvard Graduate School of Education kognitív- és neveléstudományok professzora alma materének e jeles évében nyerte el az Amerikai Nevelés- és Oktatáskutatók Egyesülete (American Educational Research Association, AERA) által évente kiosztásra kerülő, a neveléstudományi kutatások kiemelkedő közreműködőinek járó díjat (Distinguished Contributions to Research in Education Award). Az eredetileg pszichológusként kutató Gardner ezt az elismerést a neveléstudományok területén folytatott munkássága honorálásaként kapta, mivel az először csaknem négy évtizede publikált intelligencia-szemlélete (Gardner, 1983) világszerte számos tananyagfejlesztési műhelyre, valamint gyakorlati oktatási modellre hatott.
Széleskörű ismertsége és sikerei dacára a többszörös intelligenciák (multiple intelligences) teóriája számos kritikába ütközött az évek során. Jelen tanulmányomban e kritikák áttekintését célzom – magyarul novuum értékkel azért, hogy az elméletet magyar nyelvterületen alkalmazók annak kritikáira vonatkozóan is tájékozódhassanak. Az elmélet születéséről (Dezső, 2020), jellemzőiről (Dezső, 2012, 2014, 2015), pedagógiai alkalmazhatóságáról (Dezső, 2011, 2015), aktualitásáról (Dezső, 2021) korábbi vonatkozó munkáimban részletesen szóltam, így magát a teóriát ebben az írásban vázlatosan sem tárgyalom. Gardner eredeti szándékának figyelembevételével elméletére vonatkozóan az intelligenciák kifejezést többes számban tudatosan használom. Elemzésemben a vonatkozó nemzetközi kritikai szakirodalom főbb elemeinek áttekintésére, rendszerezett megjelenítésére vállalkozom – terjedelmi korlátokra való tekintettel a teljesség igénye nélkül.

Kutatásunk fókuszában a „Tanítsunk Magyarországért!” mentorprogramban részt vevő, általános iskolás mentoráljaink állnak, akikkel a program kezdete óta, négy féléve foglalkozunk. A mentorprogram a kistérségi (Andl, 2015), zömében hátrányos helyzetű tanulók számára (Liskó, 1997) nyújt méltányos szolgáltatást a programban résztvevő egyetemista hallgatók munkájának köszönhetően. A mentori munka szakirodalmának feltárásával kutatásunk nemzetközi és magyar nyelvű beágyazását biztosítottuk (Spencer, 2007; Lakind, Eddy & Zell, 2014; Fejes, Kasik & Kinyó, 2009; Nagy, 2014). Munkánk záró félévében arra voltunk kíváncsiak, hogy mentoráltjaink hogyan vélekednek tevékenységeinkről, melyik foglalkozásokat emelik ki. A vizsgálatban arra számítottunk, hogy mentoráltjaink kiemelik a mentor-mentorált kapcsolat fontosságát és javaslatokat tesznek az alkalmazott mentori módszerek javítására. Kutatásunkhoz egy, a mentori munkát segítő, a mentor-mentorált kapcsolatot elemző kérdőívet alkalmaztunk. A kérdőív három részből állt, melyekből kettő szöveges választ igénylő, egy 5-fokú skálára épülő szakasz volt. A kérdőív kvalitatív eredményeit kódoltuk és tartalomelemzésnek vetettük alá. A felmérésben az osztályba járó összes mentorált (18 fő) közül 14 fő vett részt. Az esettanulmány eredményei rávilágítanak a mentor-mentorált kapcsolat minőségének fontosságára, illetve a programban mentorálást végző hallgatók számára, a mentori munka minőségének javítására tesznek javaslatokat.
L’ accompagnement de l’entrepreneuriat féminin dans les pays africains en développement
Authors: Zogning Félix
Published: November 2021

Les femmes entrepreneures se heurtent à de nombreux obstacles pour mener à bien leur processus d’entrepreneuriat dans les pays en développement. Ces obstacles sont associés à une faible inclusion financière ainsi qu’à des normes et cultures spécifiques qui définissent les rôles des femmes dans la société. Les résultats de notre étude montrent que les programmes mis en oeuvre pour accompagner l’entrepreneuriat féminin s’attellent davantage à la promotion de l’entrepreneuriat, plutôt que de s’attaquer aux causes de l’écart observé entre les hommes et les femmes dans le succès entrepreneurial.
La protection des lanceurs d’alerte au Canada et au Québec : un état des lieux
Authors: Simard Jeanne , Desjardins France , Morency Marc-André
Published: November 2021

Le présent article a pour objectif d’examiner comment le droit encadre le processus de divulgation et protège au Canada et au Québec les lanceurs d’alerte contre les mesures de représailles dans les organisations des secteurs privé et public. La première partie, au contenu plus conceptuel, tente de distinguer les types de comportements d’alerte, leur légitimité et leur utilité sur les plans social et organisationnel. La deuxième partie, au contenu cette fois plus juridique, brosse un tableau des différents cadres légaux qui ont été adoptés au fil des ans au Canada et au Québec pour encourager et protéger les lanceurs d’alerte. Ces cadres sont souvent flous et diffèrent selon que la divulgation est de compétence fédérale ou provinciale, s’appliquent au secteur public ou privé et selon le type de renseignements divulgués. En matière d’alerte, on doit retenir que, même si la protection des lanceurs d’alerte a été enrichie à plusieurs égards au fil des ans, cette protection pourrait encore être améliorée, car elle présente certaines lacunes et l’effectivité du droit dans ce domaine est souvent mise à mal.
De nouveaux lieux d’innovation en France à travers la mutualisation de services
Authors: Doré Gwénaël
Published: November 2021

Dans un contexte de croissance de l’économie immatérielle, on constate paradoxalement le développement de lieux physiques favorisant la coopération d’entreprises et de travailleurs. Se généralisent ainsi notamment des tiers-lieux, des espaces de coworking, des fab labs et des espaces physiques de mutualisation d’infrastructures et de services au profit d’entreprises. Leur création est suscitée par des collectivités territoriales à la recherche d’un renouvellement de leur politique de développement et par des clusters regroupant des entreprises. Notre étude présente neuf monographies de lieux d’innovation situés en France et caractérisés par la mise en place d’une offre de services (bureaux, accès à des infrastructures, matériel informatique, secrétariat commun, espaces de convivialité) dans un lieu physique au profit d’entreprises et d’individus.
Sentencing to Drug Court
Authors: Schreiber Lizett Martinez
Published: November 2021

Drug courts are frequently touted as an alternative sentencing option for low-level drug offenders and were even promoted by U.S. presidential candidates in 2020. While national organizations tout that “Drug Courts Work,” there are many who question their efficacy. Favorable statistics and success stories depend on close fidelity to the prescribed models from the National Association of Drug Court Professionals. With rapid adoption of drug courts nationwide, and little oversight of their fidelity to the drug court model, some judges may operate drug courts in ways that can harm, rather than help, an increasing number of participants. Improper drug court admissions and heavy use of jail sanctioning lead to worse outcomes for participants—and to suspicion toward drug courts among the criminal justice reform movement of which drug courts aim to be a part.

While the drug court model has evolved as a treatment model for offenders with high criminogenic risk and high treatment need, some judges either disregard or are unaware of this shift. Participants are supervised more closely and are often given higher treatment dosages than they require to address their substance use disorder. Low-level offenders may end up with accrued jail time through their drug court participation that exceeds the amount they would have received had they simply been sentenced to a jail term at the outset of their plea.

Increased oversight of drug courts, combined with required education for judges and court staff, will lead to a better understanding of the drug court model. By identifying the proper target population, focusing on treatment, and reducing or eliminating jail sanctions, drug courts will align with the national model, improve outcomes, and reduce both jail time and recidivism of their participants. This Article outlines the evolution of the drug court model and shows that lack of understanding of that evolution leads to harsher sentencing for low-level drug offenders.
A History of Early Drug Sentences in California
Authors: Siff Sarah Brady
Published: November 2021

The early history of drug sentences in California provides a quintessential example of structural racism in law. The demands of white voters to escalate penalties for drug crimes followed a pattern of collective myth making and value signaling that insisted opiates, cocaine, and cannabis were extremely dangerous, led to other crime, and prevalently were used and sold by immigrants and other despised groups. Public pressure for more severe punishment seemed to peak twice, in the 1920s and 1950s, in response to exaggerated threats such as “dope peddlers” targeting children and profitable “dope rings” controlled by subversive foreigners. Amplified by a self-seeking, robust news media and a multitude of fraternal, civic, and religious organizations, the frightful construction of illicit drugs seemed to demand a simple and uncompromising response: to punish drug users harder by increasing terms of incarceration. But white voters always understood that drug laws targeted immigrants and communities of color, and law enforcers used extreme penalties as leverage to pursue corrupt and racist prerogatives unrelated to reducing drug use. Drug penalties in California were developed over many decades with almost extreme levels of participation by antidrug activists and law enforcers. Appearing somehow scientific, the resulting arrays of penalties implied that the cruelest sentences were reserved for the truly blameworthy, when in fact they were reserved for the marginalized. Moreover, several legal conventions born of these penalty structures—mandatory minimums, the distinction between user and seller, punishment of addiction itself, and presumptions arising from drug quantities—still exacerbate the oppressive nature of drug statutes.

Objective

The literature regarding gonadoblastoma risk in exonic Wilms’ tumor suppressor gene (WT1) pathogenic variants is sparse. The aim of this study is to describe the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Asian–Indian patients with WT1 pathogenic variants and systematically review the literature on association of exonic WT1 pathogenic variants and gonadoblastoma.

Design

Combined retrospective–prospective analysis.

Methods

In this study, 46,XY DSD patients with WT1 pathogenic variants detected by clinical exome sequencing from a cohort of 150 index patients and their affected relatives were included. The PubMed database was searched for the literature on gonadoblastoma with exonic WT1 pathogenic variants.

Results

The prevalence of WT1 pathogenic variants among 46,XY DSD index patients was 2.7% (4/150). All the four patients had atypical genitalia and cryptorchidism. None of them had Wilms’ tumor till the last follow-up, whereas one patient had late-onset nephropathy. 11p13 deletion was present in one patient with aniridia. The family with p.Arg458Gln pathogenic variant had varied phenotypic spectrum of Frasier syndrome; two siblings had gonadoblastoma, one of them had growing teratoma syndrome (first to report with WT1). On literature review, of >100 exonic point pathogenic variants, only eight variants (p.Arg462Trp, p.Tyr177*, p.Arg434His, p.Met410Arg, p.Gln142*, p.Glu437Lys, p.Arg458*, and p.Arg458Gln) in WT1 were associated with gonadoblastoma in a total of 15 cases (including our two cases).

Conclusions

WT1 alterations account for 3% of 46,XY DSD patients in our cohort. 46,XY DSD patients harboring exonic WT1 pathogenic variants carry a small but definitive risk of gonadoblastoma; hence, these patients require a gonadoblastoma surveillance with a more stringent surveillance in those harboring a gonadoblastoma-associated variant.

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of TFR2 on iron storage in type 2 diabetes.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1938 participants from the Jiangchuan Community of Shanghai. A total of 784 participants with T2DM and 1154 normal participants (non-T2DM) were enrolled in this study. Serum ferritin, fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, and HbA1C (glycated hemoglobin A1c) levels were determined. Eighteen Wistar male rats were randomly assigned into three groups (n = 6/group): rats in a high-fat diet streptozotocin (HFD+STZ) group were fed with HFD for 4 weeks and intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin (STZ); rats in a control group were fed with a standard diet for 4 weeks and intraperitoneally injected with buffer; rats in an STZ group were fed with a standard diet for 4 weeks and intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin. Glucose tolerance test was performed at the end of the study. Blood samples and liver tissues were assessed for liver TFR2, blood glucose, serum ferritin, and iron levels.

Results

The mean serum ferritin level of T2DM participants was significantly higher than that of the control group (227 (140–352) vs 203.5 (130.5–312) ng/mL, P < 0.05). Serum ferritin level was an independent risk factor for T2DM (high ferritin group vs low ferritin group, 1.304 (1.03–1.651), P < 0.05). Diabetic rats showed reduced liver TFR2 levels, with increased serum ferritin levels.

Conclusion

T2DM participants exhibited iron disorder with elevated serum ferritin levels. Elevated serum ferritin levels in diabetic rats were accompanied by reduced liver TFR2 levels.
