Wie disruptiv sind monokulare Vergleichsbedingungen wirklich?
Authors: Jainta Stephanie , Joss Joëlle
Published: September 2024

Purpose. Based on the fact that reading with both eyes shows a binocular advantage of about 10 % (shorter reading and fixation times compared to monocular reading) with good binocular coordination, the present study aims to investigate the influence of the quality of binocular vision on the effectiveness of reading. Material and Methods. The binocular eye movements (Eyelink II) of 260 test subjects were reevaluated. All subjects read 60 sentences in German containing a target word occurring either frequently or rarely in this language. Additionally, the reading condition was changed from monocular to binocular for 30 sentences. Furthermore the objective heterophoria and MCH heterophoria for all participants were determined. Results. In the case of monocular reading conditions, there was only a weak general word-frequency effect (b = 7.21; t = 1.91; p = 0.06) but fixation times for frequent words shortened slightly when objective heterophoria increased (b = −4.24; t = −3.82; p < 0.001). For binocular reading conditions, on the other hand, there was a clear word-frequency effect (b = −48.77; t = −6.03; p < 0.001) and, at the same time, an interaction with individual heterophoria (objective: b = 8.19; t = 14.57; p < 0.001; MCH: b = 3.27; t = 4.40; p < 0.001). Conclusion. Monocular reading conditions can be proven to be disruptive when investigating people with good binocular coordination. However, this effect turns out to be much smaller than what is assumed by many optometrists. People with good binocular coordination clearly show greater benefits when reading with both eyes.

Saat ini, perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi sangat pesat mengikuti dengan perkembangan zaman sehingga permasalahan keamanan yang timbul di masyarakat juga semakin kompleks. Banyak dari permasalahan keamanan di masyarakat yang tidak dapat diatasi dengan cara manual atau dengan kemampuan visual manusia yang mengakibatkan kurangnya kesigapan dari personel dalam melakukan pengamanan lingkungan masyarakat. Akibat dari keterbatasan kemampuan visual manusia yang menyebabkan kurangnya kesigapan dari personil keamanan maka diperlukan suatu sistem yang lebih modern yang dapat membantu manusia dalam memantau setiap pergerakan yang dilakukan oleh manusia dalam menjamin keamanan yang ada dalam masyarakat agar tidak terjadi suatu tindakan yang dilakukan baik oleh perseorangan maupun kelompok yang dapat merugikan masyarakat seperti tindak pencurian, perampokan, perusakan fasilitas, penjarahan, dan penculikan. Kesigapan personil keamanan sangat menentukan dalam menciptakan ketertiban dan keamanan dalam masyarakat sehingga dirancang suatu sistem yang memanfaatkan teknologi sensor gerakan, yaitu sensor passive infrared (PIR) yang dihubungkan melalui konektivitas yang difasilitasi oleh Internet of Things untuk mendeteksi pergerakan manusia dalam lingkungan masyarakat dan ditempatkan di tempat-tempat tersembunyi di sekitar lingkungan masyarakat yang diprediksi menjadi tempat tindak kejahatan sehingga tindakan kejahatan yang dapat membahayakan keamanan di lingkungan masyarakat dapat termonitor dan dilakukan tindakan penanganan oleh personil keamanan yang ada. Informasi yang diperoleh dari sistem ini digunakan untuk meningkatkan kesigapan personil dalam berbagai konteks, seperti keamanan, manajemen fasilitas, dan pemantauan.

Published: September 2024

Blame avoidance, a strategic distancing from culpability following events resulting in the deaths of citizens of a country, has often been studied in democratic contexts, yet its manifestation in authoritarian scenarios remains understudied. This study addresses this gap by scrutinizing empirical data derived from Turkey’s party in power, the AKP, and their political narratives and policies concerning these fatalities. Synthesizing the concepts of blame avoidance and necropolitics, it investigates how Turkey’s ruling competitive authoritarian party uses blame-shifting strategies to account for deaths resulting from negligence. Employing a conceptualization of martyrdom intertwined with religious populism, the party appeals to both religious and nationalistic sentiments and succeeds in sidestepping responsibility and accountability for these tragic incidents.

Stress and Depression: Are they Really Related?
Authors: Keerat  , Sharma Jigyasha
Published: September 2024

the term depression is commonly used to justify the emotional isolation. Common people do not see it as any different from stress or anxiety. Even emotional ventilation, such as crying, is sometimes said to be depression. I often hear suggestions of ventilating one’s feelings or performing leisure activities to get rid of depression. Although, the importance of emotional ventilation can never be understated in order to manage mental health, according to the WHO, depression is a mental disorder that is identified by a loss of pleasure or interest in daily activities for a long period of time, the causes of which may vary from physical or emotional abuse to severe losses in life. Depression needs to be diagnosed and treated, whereas the misuse of the term may lead to misidentification and the illusion that talking to loved ones and getting indulged in one’s favourite activities can cure it.

Nuisance caused by marginally housed labour migrants

Recent labour migration from Central and Eastern Europe has, next to positive economic facets, also negative aspects like nuisance. This article describes the nature of this nuisance and the circumstances causing this. According to key informants who have been interviewed for this study, the nuisances discussed in this article pertain to only a small part of the labour migrants. The nuisance related to labour migrants from Central and Eastern Europe mostly consists of loud ‘noises of living’ around the home and in public space. Considering the nuisance, the following aspects seem to be part of the cause: thin-walled houses and the (illegal) letting per room; poor commitment to the neighbourhood due to temporary stay; quarrels and acts of violence between labour migrants and excessive drinking; lack of privacy and therefore meeting in public space; and housing in neighbourhoods with an accumulation of social issues. In this article the authors describe these aspects and their occurrence.

A shelter for whistleblowers. Will the House contribute to the ideal of transparency?

The draft of the Dutch Whistleblower Protection Act that is currently discussed in Parliament can be regarded as an essential step forward in the protection of whistleblowers. However, it can be questioned if the Act will contribute in an optimal manner to the ideal of transparency and the fight against the abuse of power, which should be the main goal of the Act. The tasks and powers of the new House for Whistleblowers are rather unclear and they do not meet legal standards. The combination of advice and support to whistleblowers and independent research into major violations of integrity should be abolished.

It is all about transparency. A critique of Publeaks

As a result of the democratization of technology we now seem to live in an era of ‘Wiki-regulation’. Increasingly transparency is considered to be the universal solution to all sorts of problems. In line with this dominant viewpoint there has been a proliferation of whistleblower initiatives in recent years. A newly established Dutch initiative is Publeaks. Launched by a large number of Dutch media outlets and aimed at protecting whistleblowers, shedding light on wrongdoings and encouraging investigative journalism, Publeaks is a website ‘for people to leak documents to the media securely and anonymously’. In this opinionated article the authors propose three arguments against this particular form of whistleblowing: the protection against unfunded accusations, the negative side effects of ‘scandal overkill’, and the value of non-transparency.

A listening ear. The internal reporting system within the Dutch public sector

Whistleblowing and whistleblowers have received a lot of attention over the last decade, not just in popular discourse, also in academic research. So by now we know a lot about ‘the’ whistleblower; internal reporting procedures received less attention. That is remarkable, because from previous research we know that by far most reports of wrongdoing are (first) reported internally. Reporting in line seems the most logical step for most observations, but how well are Dutch public managers handling these reports, and what are the experiences of and with so-called confidential integrity advisors? The authors’ main research question is: How does the internal reporting system function in the public sector, and what improvements are possible? Here the authors answer these questions based on a survey conducted among Dutch civil servants, which was filled out by 7,543 respondents and on 25 in-depth interviews with confidential integrity officers.

Motives for reporting organizational misbehavior. A qualitative research inside the Belgian federal police

Whistleblowing research should more explicitly focus on underlying motives for the decision to report on organizational misbehavior. Arguably, these motives are connected to the factors that can explain the decision whether or not to blow the whistle. Reporting for egoistic reasons can probably be explained by other factors than reporting for altruistic reasons. This article aims to enrich the whistleblowing literature by proposing grid-group cultural theory as an alternative approach. This theoretical framework could provide more insight into reporting decisions by identifying various motives for such decisions and linking them with elements in the organizational culture that could explain them. As an illustration, the theory is applied in an ethnographic study in two investigative teams of the Belgian federal police. More research is, however, needed to fine-tune the conceptual framework and to test the preliminary findings of this empirical study.

Protecting whistleblowers: recent lessons from Australia

This article seeks to aid understanding of the ways in which different policy purposes, approaches and legal options can be combined in the design of better legislation, using Australia’s recently passed Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013. It provides a guide to key elements of the new legislation, as an example of legislative development taking place over a long period, informed by different trends. In particular, it is one of the first national laws to seek to integrate divergent approaches to the ‘anti-retaliation’ model of whistleblower protection, including its place in the employment law system, it sets new standards for the role of ‘public whistleblowing’ in such a regime, and provides new responses on basic questions of coverage, including which individuals are able to gain the benefit of the legislation. This provides lessons as to how different legal approaches might be better integrated, in pursuit of a clearer understanding of the interface between whistleblowing and other integrity reforms.

The product of design. American influence on Dutch urban safety policy

In policy development and academic research on urban problems such as poverty, disorder and crime, the United States has served as a model country for the Netherlands for years. This article analyses two Dutch policies in the field of neighbourhood safety that are strongly influenced by American policy. It specifically focuses on the efficacy and applicability of social interventions, i.e. approaches that appeal to residents’ active involvement in the improvement of public safety and quality of life: resident representation comities (I) and neighbourhood watch schemes (II). Available research into the two policy cases illustrates that the ‘hard’ science from the United States can often be complemented with more qualitative information from the Netherlands. American research can thus be used to support Dutch policy designs, provided that knowledge is fine-tuned and contextualised.

The reversal of punitive justice policies in the United States? The implementation of specialty courts to fight prison overcrowding in Texas

This article introduces and evaluates three different specialty court programs that are being enacted in a large Texas county to locally fight the growing tide of unsustainably high incarceration rates that is sweeping the United States. The study provides a brief description of the general dilemma of the American criminal justice system that, as a result of the widespread fear of crime and a mainstream news arena that favors grossly simplistic sound-byte-compatible get-tough policies, has become so immensely punitive and overburdening on public budgets that it is de facto no longer sustainable and in desperate need of immediate change. Faced with a situation of political stalemate on state and federal levels, county judges in Texas and other states are taking it upon themselves to bring about change in their local jurisdictions. Through newly designed specialty courts models, they seek to divert special-needs offenders away from the default incarceration track. The article evaluates the overall effectiveness of these new sentencing alternatives and identifies specific areas that need further improvement.

A window at the North side? A characterization of judicial policies in Scandinavia

This article focuses on the question whether Dutch policy makers and researchers ought to look more often to Scandinavia for inspiration and less to the West (UK and USA). Scandinavian countries are also influenced by Anglo-American ideas about crime and justice, but at the same time the number of incarcerated persons has not changed dramatically while recidivism rates are low. Dutch policy makers and researcher do sometimes look at initiatives and practices in Scandinavian countries, most often Sweden. Dutch society shares many similarities with the Scandinavian welfare states and therefore it should be natural – according to the author – to benefit more often from Scandinavian experiences. Some suggestions are discussed in the article.

The fight against food fraud in the Netherlands

Food fraud has recently been recognized as a blind spot among regulators. In Europe, few organizations have experience with large cases of food fraud; also scientific knowledge into this type of crime is limited. This article aims to contribute experience to this gap. The NVWA-IOD is a specialist crime unit in the Netherlands, carrying out criminal investigations into, among other things, food fraud. This article gives insight into numbers of cases dealt with by the NVWA-IOD in the past fifteen years, for different types of food fraud. Nine criminal cases, concentrating on suspects within trade and industry, are analyzed in more detail from a basic criminological perspective. There is looked into, among other things, the motive, the opportunity and the product. The cases discussed relate to products such as meat, eggs, fish and dairy products. The main motive for committing food fraud is making money; the gain makes fraudulent activities attractive and financially beneficial. Opportunities refer mainly to ambiguous laws and regulations and little supervision. Also, evasive behavior was found. To combat food crime, specialist knowledge of tempting opportunities is essential.

Food fraud vulnerability in the meat sector

Food fraud is as old as mankind but has advanced in the last decades. Fraud regarding the gross composition of food has progressed in the direction of the addition of unconventional adulterants. Furthermore, consumers are more and more interested in how and where their foods are produced and pay price premiums for organic foods, fair trade, animal welfare considering, and sustainable food products. Since these products are very similar to their conventional counterparts in terms of composition, they provide an additional challenge. The knowledge regarding occurrence, type of meat fraud, causes and damage caused to the sector is limited. There is a need for extensive identification of the vulnerabilities and criminogenic factors. These insights offer leads for detection and prevention. The article deals with a first step into the inventory of these vulnerabilities and factors affecting meat fraud, by assessing fraud risks related to products, companies and the meat supply chain.

Counterfeit plant protection products and food crime

Counterfeiting is a major worldwide crime problem and one with demonstrable links to organized criminality. The production and distribution of fake plant protection products is no exception, the proliferation of such products within the European Union owing much to the abuse of parallel trading arrangements and the high profit, low risk opportunity it presents to organized crime groups. It is also a particularly insidious crime; these chemicals are untested and unapproved for use and they pose a serious economic, environmental and human health threat. Of particular concern is the potential for residues from illegal pesticides to persist in harvested crops to then be found in foodstuffs. It is argued that this should be regarded as a food crime.
