Authors: Yatsun S. F. , Loktionova O. G. , Al Manji Khalil Hamed Mohammed Hamood , Yatsun A. S. , Karlov A. E.
Published: February 2020

Purpose of reseach. Robot exoskeletons open up new possibilities in the rehabilitation of patients with lower limb injuries. Despite the growing number of publications on this topic, many issues related to the development of design tools based on the simulation of human movement in an exoskeleton using the theoretical basis of stable movement in the upright position have not been studied well enough. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop methods for improving the efficiency of the lower extremity exoskeleton control system for biped gait. 

Methods. The key feature of the paper is the application of modeling techniques determining the laws of the exoskeleton motion. Methods of mathematical modeling of the motion of sections are used, taking into account their subsequent possible use in modeling the motion of exoskeleton sections; trajectory equations are composed using the vector-matrix method. The trajectories of the exoskeleton's foot, lower leg, and hip movement during steady walking are studied.

Results. To simulate the operation of a robotic complex - a prototype of an exoskeleton of the lower extremities with ten active degrees of freedom, kinematic definition the trajectory of the sections is used. To find the vector of generalized coordinates, the inverse kinematics problem is solved applying the vector-matrix method using the Jacobian matrix. The results of numerical simulation show high convergence and eficacy of the proposed method. The proposed method allows defining the trajectory of the operator in the exoskeleton in real devices.

Conclusion. In the paper, the study of walking is performed from the standpoint of modeling a quasi-static gait using kinematic approaches. The developed method for determining the defining angles of rotation of the exoskeleton sections for different foot positions taking into account the position of the mass center projections, is used in the development of algorithms for controlling human motion in the exoskeleton.

Published: February 2020

Purpose of reseach. This article proposes the development of a new methodology for determining the settlement of a homogeneous foundation base on the basis of the layer-by-layer summation method, which reduces the amount of calculations performed.

Methods. The boundary of the compressible stratum can be determined graphically from the condition that the additional stresses are equal to half the natural stresses. Knowing the value of the depth of the compressible stratum, we can determine the total value of the coefficients included in the well-known formula for calculating the settlement of the base by the method of layer-by-layer summation. Having determined the value of the specified coefficient in the layer located directly below the base of the foundation, we introduce the coefficient Kα, which reflects the proportion of sediment in the layer under consideration.

Results. The application of the developed coefficient Kα allows determining the base settlement by calculating the deformations of one soil layer located directly below the base of the foundation, which greatly simplifies the design of underground structures. As an example, we consider a foundation, the average pressure under the sole of which is 1200 kPa, the laying depth d = 2 m, the base is homogeneous with a deformation modulus of 20 MPa and a specific gravity of γ = 18 kN / m3. The settlement of the building-basement system was calculated by the method of layer-bylayer summation and the critical analysis of the results was performed. When calculating precipitation by the method of layer-by-layer summation according to the known formulas given in SP 22.13330. 2016 “Foundations of buildings and structures”, it was obtained a draft value of 9 cm. When calculating the base deformations according to the proposed method, the boundary of the compressible thickness Hc = 5.7 m was graphically determined. The coefficient value was 0.203, and the draft was 9 cm.

Conclusion. The settlement values determined in accordance with current regulatory documents and the developed methodology are the same, which allows us to conclude that the proposed method has a sufficient degree of reliability and can significantly facilitate the process of determining the deformations of the base of buildings and structures.
How Social Media Use at Work Affects Improvement of Older People’s Willingness to Delay Retirement During Transfer From Demographic Bonus to Health Bonus: Causal Relationship Empirical Study (Preprint)
Authors: Ma Yiming , Liang Changyong , Gu Dongxiao , Zhao Shuping , Yang Xuejie , Wang Xiaoyu
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND

With the increased older population in China and the subsequent reduced labor force, the “demographic bonus” is disappearing. The Chinese government proposed a Healthy China strategy in 2017. The transfer of the demographic bonus to a “health bonus” extended the working life of people and reduced the negative impact of the population’s aging on the labor force structure.

OBJECTIVE

This research focuses on the effect of older workers’ social media usage at work on their work ability (related to both physical and mental health) and thus their willingness to delay retirement.

METHODS

The questionnaire respondents were older than 55 years, and they obtained the questionnaire from social media, from June to July 2018. A total of 1020 valid questionnaires were collected, and SmartPLS 3.28 (SmartPLS GmbH) was used to analyze the data. Effects were analyzed using 2-tailed t tests.

RESULTS

(1) Use of social media at work can improve information support (t14=13.318, P<.001), emotional support (t14=13.184, P<.001), and self-efficacy (t14=6.364, P<.001) for older people; (2) information support is the main factor affecting the self-efficacy of older workers (t14=23.304, P<.001), as compared with emotional support (t14=1.799, P=0.07); (3) the impacts of emotional support on work ability (t14=8.876, P<.001) and work stress (t14=9.545, P<.001) are generally higher than those of information support (t14=4.394, P<.001; t14=5.002, P<.001); (4) self-efficacy has an impact on work ability (t14=5.658, P<.001) and work stress (t14=4.717, P<.001); and (5) the impacts of work ability (t14=8.586, P<.001) and work stress (t14=8.579, P<.001) on retirement willingness are greater than those of emotional support (t14=2.112, P=.04) and information support (t14=4.314, P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Our study confirms that the use of social media at work has a positive impact on older workers. Based on the findings, we have put forward proposals to extend people’s working lives and help governments implement health bonus policies. In the future, we will compare the different values of willingness to delay retirement among older people in different occupations and different cultures.

BACKGROUND

Today, Internet addiction disorder (IAD) is a major community problem in Iran and across the world and is highly prevalent among adolescents.

OBJECTIVE

present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effects of instructing proper Internet use through group discussion on aggression in adolescents with IAD.

METHODS

In this randomized control trail, 76 secondary high school female students with internet addiction of Tehran 3d district with multistep cluster sampling were assigned to experimental (N=37) and control (N=39) groups from February to august 2016. The control group didn’t receive any intervention but the experimental group received the instructional program through group discussion for three sessions, then mean aggression scores before/ after/ and 1 month following the program were compared in two groups. A socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire, Young’s Internet Addiction Test, and the Buss & Perry’s aggression questionnaire were used in this study. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, independent t-test and repeated measures ANOVA using SPSS v.22. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS

Within-subject tests of Sphericity (F (2,148) = 18.644, p <.001) and (F (2,148) = 19.798, p<.001), and between subject test (F (1,74) = 14.700, p =.000) showed the significant effect of intervention on the total aggression score (error level=%1).

CONCLUSIONS

According to this study, instructing proper Internet use through group discussion can decrease aggression in female adolescents. So employing this education in school by school health nurses and other parts of society that can hold group discussion are useful.

Analysis of the Determinants of Export Diversification in the Franc Zone: A Comparative Study in WAEMU and CAEMU Countries
Authors: HOUNSOU, Ph.D. Rémy , AYIVODJI Firmin Gbetoho
Published: February 2020

The objective of this study is to analyze the determinants of export diversification in the 14 countries of the Franc Zone and compare them between WAEMU and CAEMU zones. Export diversification leads to sustainable economic growth, a satisfactory balance of payments, job creation and income redistribution. To this end, the study uses Bruno (2005a, b) LSDVC econometric estimation methods over the period 1990-2015 to identify factors that may or may not improve export diversification in these countries. The main lesson of this study is that more factors favor diversification in WAEMU countries compared to those in the CAEMU zone. In addition, we note a U-inverse relationship between per capita income and diversification in the WAEMU zone while a U-shaped relationship is observed in the second zone. Moreover, the results on the Franc Zone as a whole show that the most relevant explicative factors of export diversification are: human capital, economic development, financial liberalization, degree of trade openness, public investment and the index of democracy.
La cruel animalidad
Authors: Hernández Delgadillo Sergio Andrés
Published: February 2020

En este trabajo se propone criticar los presupuestos que subyacen a la identificación entre crueldad y animalidad dentro del pensamiento occidental, así como analizar sus formas idiomáticas y culturales. El texto muestra cómo la crueldad ha sido definida históricamente en relación con cierta referencia a la animalidad, desde los rituales antiguos en las religiones animistas hasta la fenomenología de Heidegger. El breve recorrido a través de la historia intelectual de la crueldad nos coloca de nuevo ante el cuestionamiento de en qué consiste la crueldad, y especialmente qué es la animalidad.

Cutzamala: apropiación del agua y movimiento social
Authors: Ibarra García María Verónica
Published: February 2020

El artículo analiza las relaciones entre algunas de las instituciones del Estado Mexicano y los actores locales usufructuarios del agua en la subcuenca del Cutzamala, subsidiaria del río Balsas, en el Estado de México. El estudio comprende temporalmente desde la época posrevolucionaria y hasta el siglo xxi. Se analizan los usos del agua por parte del Estado mexicano durante el modelo de sustitución de importaciones, posteriormente durante la consolidación de la urbanización de la zona metropolitana de la Ciudad de México y, por último, durante la etapa neoliberal. Se constata el menosprecio a los derechos de los actores locales, en este caso indígenas mazahuas, en las dos grandes obras de ingeniería realizadas por el Estado mexicano, primero en la construcción del sistema hidroeléctrico Ixtapatongo y posteriormente en el trasvase de agua para la zona metropolitana de la Ciudad de México con base en el Sistema Cutzamala. Por último, se identifican algunas características de las tensiones y movimientos sociales por el uso del agua y por la intervención del Gobierno con posiciones “más sensibles”, como parte de una transformación social y política de los núcleos agrarios. La investigación se realiza desde una perspectiva de geografía política crítica.
Enfoques teórico-conceptuales de las relaciones geografía y literatura
Authors: Pérez Torres Eduardo Antonio
Published: February 2020

Geografía y literatura son dos campos de conocimiento con una profunda y antigua relación entre sí. Tanto geógrafos como literatos han entremezclado sus campos en diversos momentos históricos con diferente fortuna, pero siempre tratando de enriquecer su propio campo de trabajo. Los geógrafos han explorado la literatura para mejorar su expresión y para obtener la inestimable información que pueden proveer las obras literarias en los temas que le interesan, como la reconstrucción de paisajes, de relaciones sociales, del sentir popular frente a diversos acontecimientos históricos, costumbres, tradiciones actividades económicas, entre otros temas de su interés. Los literatos trabajan el espacio, describen los paisajes, sitúan a sus personajes en lugares creados y recreados, a partir de experiencias personales o transmitidas.
La difusión de la geografía en México. Esfuerzos y logros
Authors: Espinoza Rodríguez José Manuel
Published: February 2020

La transformación que ha experimentado la Geografía en su ámbito y método de estudio para interpretar las relaciones del ser humano con su entorno ha derivado en una disciplina integral con dinámica propia que considera fronteras poco claras o inexistentes con las ciencias sociales y las naturales.Son varias las ventajas relativas que la sociedad y el mercado laboral aprecian del geógrafo, destacando su capacidad tecnológica y su visión espacial y territorial, que sientan la base para un panorama integral e interdisciplinario requerido para visualizar distintos escenarios de planeación.De lo anterior se deriva que uno de los objetivos a cumplir dentro de esa inserción del egresado con el mercado de trabajo es que deben generarse los nexos suficientes con el sector productivo para que el geógrafo se convierta en un profesionista demandado y valorado; por ello, se discute en el presente texto la necesidad de fortalecer estrategias y redes de difusión del perfil del geógrafo en función de las demandas sociales que puede cubrir, además de la atención a líneas emergentes relacionadas con los requerimientos de la sociedad y el medio ambiente.A la fecha, se han establecido relaciones de diferente grado de oficialidad y continuidad entre los diferentes grupos académicos que realizan quehaceres geográficos en el país a través de encuentros y la generación de publicaciones conjuntas, lo que ha redundado en un esquema enriquecedor donde los geógrafos intercambian puntos de vista teórico-metodológicos. Estos encuentros, sin embargo, han adolecido de insuficiente difusión, por lo que resulta urgente la formalización de dichos foros para que sirvan de puentes entre las diferentes “Geografías” y que impulsen la conformación de proyectos académicos interinstitucionales en pro de una Geografía Nacional.Es importante que se difundan y fortalezcan esquemas de relaciones con el sector productivo como insumo para la revisión y redireccionamiento de líneas de investigación aplicadas y el bagaje teórico-metodológico-tecnológico de la Geografía.

Published: February 2020

This study aims to find out the most dominant factors and determine the districts in Madura that require special attention from the observed model so that it can provide benefits for policymakers, and the research method used is panel data with the OLS square approach. The results of panel data regression with the fix effect model show the results that the variables that have a positive and significant influence are the GRDP at a 5% confidence level in the GRDP variable with a positive direction while the open unemployment variable has a significant negative effect having a 6% confidence level with a negative direction. Variable consumption expenditure does not have a significant effect but has a positive direction. Intercept values differ in each district which shows the uniqueness of the model of the fixed effect. The highest intercept values were Pamekasan Sampang, Bangkalan and Sumenep. From the results of the HDI classification, the Sampang has a low classification of the district vocationally on Madura Island. The results of the classification of expenditure of basic and lowest consumption of staples in 2012 and 2018 were Pamekasan and Sumenep. The results of the classification of the highest open unemployment rates were in Bangkalan in 2012 and 2018. The lowest GRDP classification was in Pamekasan districts in 2012 and 2017.
PEMENUHAN HAK NAFKAH SEBAGAI SALAH SATU POLA TERHADAP PERLINDUNGAN ANAK: ANALISIS PEMIKIRAN A. HAMID SARONG
Authors: Heti
Published: February 2020

Parents are the first party responsible for protecting and fulfilling children's rights. When children are born, they are entitled to the rights to parents and parents also have responsibilities for them. Among the rights of children that must be fulfilled by parents are the rights of the living. Concerning the family living, Hamid Sarong said that fathers are obliged to provide a living for their children if they need it. Similarly, children are required to provide for their parents when they need it. If the father is poor or has insufficient income, they are still obliged to provide for his children. If the mother has sufficient earning, she can be instructed to provide a living for the children who are the responsibility of their father, but she can ask for reimbursement later. If the mother is also poor, then the grandfather (from father) is responsible for providing the livelihood for the children, and he has the right to ask the father to pay back the income given to his grandchildren. If the father died, then the responsibility for the children's living is transferred to the grandfather, a substitute for the father if he is absent or passed away. Hamid Sarong's opinion is in line with the provisions applied in Islamic law and the in Indonesian law. However, Indonesia legislation has not established the issue related to the re-payment or reimbursement of the living that cannot be fulfilled by the father.

Abstrak: Orang tua merupakan pihak pertama yang bertanggung jawab terhadap perlindungan dan pemenuhan hak-hak anak. Hak anak pada orang tua dimulai sejak anaknya dilahirkan dan menghirup udara kehidupan. Sejak itu pula timbul tanggung jawab orang tua terhadap anak-anaknya. Diantara hak-hak anak yang harus dipenuhi oleh orang tua adalah hak nafkah. Tentang nafkah keluarga, Hamid Sarong mengatakan bahwa ayah berkewajiban mencukupkan nafkah anak-anaknya apabila mereka memerlukan, demikian pula anak berkewajiban mencukupkan nafkah ibu bapaknya apabila mereka memerlukan. Apabila ayah dalam keadaan fakir atau penghasilannya tidak mencukupi, kewajiban memberi nafkah kepada anak-anaknya itu tetap ada, tidak menjadi gugur, dan apabila ibu anak-anak berkecukupan dapat diperintahkan mencukupkan nafkah anak-anaknya yang menjadi kewajiban ayah mereka itu, tetapi dapat ditagih untuk mengembalikannya. Apabila ibu fakir juga, maka nafkah anak dimintakan kepada kakek (bapak ayah), dan pada saatnya kakek berhak minta ganti nafkah yang diberikan kepada cucunya itu kepada ayah. Apabila ayah tidak ada lagi, maka nafkah itu dibebankan kepada kakek, sebab kakek berkedudukan sebagai pengganti ayah dalam hal ayah tidak ada lagi. Pendapat Hamid Sarong ini sesuai dengan ketentuan yang berlaku di dalam hukum Islam dan Undang-Undang yang berlaku di Indonesia. Namun tentang nafkah yang tidak mampu ditunaikan oleh ayah bisa ditagih untuk dikembalikan, perundang-undangan yang di Indonesia belum mengatur sejauh itu.

EKSISTENSI BITCOIN DALAM PERSPEKTIF MAQĀṢID AL-SYAR‘ĪYAH
Authors: Dara  , Jabbar Sabil  , Syarifuddin Usman
Published: February 2020

Historically, the means of payment has evolved from time to time. The current phenomenon is Bitcoin, claimed by its users as a means of future payments, that have been the major attention of many people, from people in business to students. The research question in this study was how the existence of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange is, and how its existence as a medium of exchange is viewed based on the maqāṣid al-syar 'īyah. This used the literature research method and the maqāṣidī approach by applying the tarjih maslahat method. The existence of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange is considered valid because of the 'urf recognition. However, it requires a legal status from the government because it is related to al-maslahat al-mmāmmah, the mafsadat (damage) value of Bitcoin is higher than its maslahat (benefit) value. Hence, it is concluded that Bitcoin is valid as a medium of exchange. Still, its use must be limited due to the mafsadat (harm) probability that is more dominant at the ḍarūriyyāt (primary needs) level, following the principle of "rejecting the harm is prioritized than realizing the benefit."

Abstrak: Berdasarkan sejarah, alat pembayaran dari masa ke masa telah mengalami evolusi, pada saat ini terdapat sebuah fenomena yaitu fenomena Bitcoin yang diklaim oleh para  penggunanya sebagai alat pembayaran masa depan yang telah banyak menyita perhatian orang mulai dari kalangan pengusaha hingga mahasiswa. Bitcoin memiliki beberapa kelebihan jika dibandingkan dengan alat pembayaran yang biasa digunakan, di antaranya yaitu sifatnya yang desentralisasi sehingga tidak ada pengendali pusat yang akan ikut campur di dalamnya. Sedangkan pada kebiasaannya, alat pembayaran di suatu wilayah berada di bawah pengawasan pemerintah karena alat pembayaran tergolong kepada kebutuhan primer yang menyangkut kesejahteraan umum. Pertanyaan penelitian dalam skripsi ini adalah  bagaimana eksistensi Bitcoin sebagai alat tukar dan bagaimana keberadaan Bitcoin sebagai alat tukar berdasarkan maqāṣid al-syar‘īyah. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan dan pendekatan maqāṣidī dengan menerapkan metode tarjih maslahat. Keberadaan Bitoin sebagai alat tukar dianggap sah karena terdapat pengakuan secara ‘urf. Akan tetapi status sah tersebut perlu mendapatkan pengesahan pemerintah karena terkait dengan al- maslahat al-‘āmmah, nilai mafsadat pada Bitcoin lebih dominan jika dibandingkan dengan nilai maslahatnya. Dari paparan di atas disimpulkan bahwa keberadaan Bitcoin sah sebagai alat tukar, namun penggunaannya merupakan sesuatu yang harus dibatasi karena probabilitas mafsadatnya lebih dominan yang berada pada tingkat ḍarūriyyāt.. Hal ini sesuai dengan kaidah “menolak mafsadat di dahulukan dari pada mewujudkan maslahat.”

DAMPAK PEMEKARAN DAERAH PADA PELAYANAN PUBLIK DITINJAU MENURUT SISTEM HUKUM INDONESIA
Authors: Ali  , Siti Mawar  , Nurdin Syah
Published: February 2020

Region expansion is one of the main keys in providing services to the community, after the establishment of Law Number 22 of the Year 1999 concerning the regional government. This law was established due to problems arose mainly concerning the lack of public services, the extent of territory, territorial borders, ethnic and cultural differences, and unfair development in all regions and others, leading to many problems in the community. The results of this study revealed that region expansion had positive implications in term of social, political and cultural recognition of regional communities. Through the expansion policy, community entities with a long history of cohesiveness and greatness have been recognized as new autonomous regions. This recognition has, in turn, positively contribute to community satisfaction, which ultimately increases the regional support for central governments. It can be concluded that regional expansion policies shorten the geographical distance between citizen settlements and service centers, and narrow the range of control between the local governments and its lower government units. In addition, the expansion enables the government to bring new types of service to the area, such as electricity, water, and health services.

Abstrak: Pemekaran daerah merupakan salah satu kunci utama dalam memberikan pelayanan kepada masyarakat, setelah disahkannya atas UU No. 22 Tahun 1999 tentang pemerintahan daerah, lahirnya undang-undang ini dikarenakan adanya permasalahan-permasalahan yang timbul terutama dari segi kurangnya pelayanan publik, luasnya wilayah, batas wilayah,  perbedaan suku dan budaya,dan pembangunan yang tidak merata di seluruh daerah dan lain-lain, sehingga menimbulkan banyak permasalahan dalam masyarakat. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pemekaran daerah membawa implikasi positif dalam bentuk pengakuan sosial, politik dan kultural masyarakat daerah. Melalui kebijakan pemekaran, entitas masyarakat yang mempunyai sejarah kohesivitas dan kebesaran yang panjang, memperoleh pengakuan sebagai daerah otonom baru. Pengakuan ini pada gilirannya memberikan kontribusi positif terhadap kepuasan masyarakat, sehingga meningkatkan dukungan daerah terhadap pemerintah nasional. Intisari kesimpulan yang dapat diambil adalah Kebijakan pemekaran daerah mampu memperpendek jarak geografis antara pemukiman penduduk dengan sentra pelayanan, juga mempersempit rentang kendali antara pemerintah daerah dengan unit pemerintahan di bawahnya. Disamping itu, pemekaran juga memungkinkan untuk menghadirkan jenis-jenis pelayan baru di Daerah tersebut seperti pelayanan listrik, Air, Kesehatan dan sebagainya.

Frantz Fanon, um escritor múltiplo: trajetória intelectual, formação cultural e movimentação política
Authors: Durão Gustavo De Andrade
Published: February 2020

Frantz Fanon atuou no contexto argelino como escritor revolucionário, tendo contribuído igualmente para as reflexões no campo cultural. Sua trajetória foi rica na medida em que, além de sua participação na Segunda Guerra Mundial e na luta pela independência da Argélia, posicionou-se em relação às produções culturais de seu tempo. A obra de Fanon abordou parte do pensamento anticolonial e revolucionário e sob esse aspecto, ela não foi completamente considerada pela historiografia da África contemporânea. Seus biógrafos e pesquisadores sugerem que ele operou com maior profundidade as questões de identidade e representatividade para o negro-africano. Através da interpretação de algumas críticas busca-se compreender como Fanon foi invisibilizado no que diz respeito aos movimentos de contestação ao colonialismo e, ainda, como o extremo apego às análises raciais ou étnicas engessaram interpretações variadas sobre esse autor.  Ele foi escritor de características múltiplas para quem o caminho percorrido envolveu a crítica ao campo cultural (négritude) e uma militância política contundente (revolução) deixando em aberto ainda muitas chaves de leitura sobre esse pensador-ator fundamental para os estudos africanos.

O desafio do “outro” africano: formação da identidade e invenção da(s) África(s) a partir do romance “a geração da utopia” de Pepetela
Authors: De Oliveira Neto João Matias
Published: February 2020

Neste artigo, tensiono a construção da África com base na própria construção do “outro” enquanto um desafio para as ciências sociais e humanas. A partir de uma reflexão sobre o próprio processo de formação da África, muitos termos e nacionalismos foram utilizados para a chegada a um denominador comum acerca daquilo que define o continente africano, bem como também daquilo que se esvai em diferenças de perspectiva, de regiões e de buscas por esta identidade. Assim, escolho como exemplo meu estudo sobre a obra A Geração da Utopia enquanto um processo a partir do qual a dificuldade para a chegada a um entendimento sobre identidade pode revelar um desafio maior: entender como múltiplas identidades foram sendo construídas, em parte como herança de uma visão nacionalista sobre identidade, e de que maneira os escritores africanos, à sua maneira, representam-na dentro de contextos específicos.

Malcolm Evans cartoons in PJR

Always happiest with a pencil in his hand, Malcolm Evans has been a professional cartoonist since the 60s. Approaching that milestone himself now, he tells everyone he's twenty eight and often behaves like someone half that age.

Since first cartooning for the Bay of Plenty Times in his hometown of Tauranga where he had started work in the advertising department, Evans worked as a cartoonist in England before joining the New Zealand Herald in 1970. After succeeding Sir Gordon Minnhinnick in 1976, Evans left the Herald in 1978 and returned to the advertising industry, but continued to supply his popular Edna cartoons to rural papers in New Zealand and in Australia.

After publishing eight volumes of Edna books Malcolm Evans returned to full time cartooning with the New Zealand Herald in 1996 and was judged NZ cartoonist of the year in 1999.www.evanscartoons.com/other_pages/about.htm

REVIEWS: Hounding the 'great voyager'
Authors: Bedggood David
Published: February 2020

Review of The Trial of the Cannibal Dog: Captain Cook in the South Seas, by Anne SalmondCook has had a great reputation as an idealised 'great voyager' and Enlightenment figure, meticulous and reasoning in some accounts (see for example, Beaglehole's editions of Cook's journals), but is also available to be demonised as a representative of an precursor to cultural imperialism and colonialism in the Pacific: the kitchen, it could be said, is alread over-populated with 'Cooks'. Yet for all the many volumes already produced on the subject of Cook, The Trail of the Cannibal Dog,by anthropologist and historian Anne Salmond, should be seen as a valuable addition, in that it extends the scope of the discussion of the voyages and the cultural contact they endagered.

Corruption and law and order problems beset Papua New Guinea in its 20th year of independence.

Editorial
Authors: Robie David
Published: February 2020

When Papua New Guinea's Constitutional Review Comission first mooted possible legislation against press freedom towards the end of 1995, the Post Courier was among the news media that greeted the news with more than a modicum of pessimism. In a sombre editorial titled PNG HEADED FOR DICTATORSHIP, the newspaper warned the move could be a beginning of a move towards a 'dictatorship style of government' in Papua New Guinea. Fortunately, the news media organisations in a determined show of unity moved to do their best to head off such a scenario.

World coverage on the Sandline affair was in contrast to that of the long-running civil war on Bougainville. Foreign journalists have been kept out and perhaps it is just a coincidence that its horrors have never been live on CNN but now peace is close for its hard-pressed people.

REVIEW: Gaining the edge in the timber furore
Authors: Robie David
Published: February 2020

Review of The Contemporary Pacific: A Journal of Pacific Island Affairs, Vol 9 No1. Special Issue: 'Logging the South-western Pacific: Perspectives from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.' Edited by Kathleen Barlow and Steven Winduo. Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press.

Too often reporters become captivated either to the logging company developers, or the non-government organisations campaigning for conservation. Whoever mounts the best public relations campaign for the moment gets the ear of the press. And too often it is the forestry industry, with its better PR resources, that has the edge. Few Pacific journalists  ask the hard questions, or dig deeper. Journalism by the press release and rhetoric is the general rule.

FORUM: Losing battle?
Authors: Angiki Duran
Published: February 2020

It is rather bizarre that PINA, a regional media body that has consistently over the years claimed to stand for "freedom of expression" failed to even raise the issue. Isn't this a "big joke" to talk about and even celebrating "freedom awards" when a member country is fighting a losing battle against a notorious government ban?
