Crossing Over: Hosts, Guests and Tastes on a Sydney Street
Authors: Mohr Richard , Hosen Nadirsyah
Published: November 2024

Food and eating are material necessities of life and, at the same time, elaborate cultural and symbolic markers. Food is worked from the earth or killed and butchered, it is bought with money and it is masticated, swallowed, digested, and its waste products expelled. It is fundamentally, corporeally, even bestially physical. Yet food is also subject to rules, regulations and rituals that are complex and diverse. That diversity derives from a wide world of beliefs, traditions and cultural practices. Food is regulated in many formal and informal ways: by health, industry, ethical and religious codes as well as tastes and family practices. Regulation, practice and knowledge meet in disciplinary regimes. Coveney (2000) has explored the origins and development of a dominant modern Australian nutritional regime, based in the western European tradition and authorised by science. We can also identify competing regimes in contemporary Australia, based in alternative health, ethical, religious and cultural beliefs and traditions.
Property in the World: On Collective Hosting and the ‘Ownership’ of Communal Goods
Authors: Aston Rhys , Davies Margaret
Published: November 2024

Law is typically located at the scale of the nation state and, as a result, discussions about law and hospitality have tended to emphasise issues of national sovereignty, national identity, and relationships to noncitizen others. However, what remains a fundamental part of hospitality theory is the philosophical emphasis on hospitality as a dimension of the individual owner’s ethical responsibilities to the visitor as well as the constitutive reciprocity between host and guest. In Levinas, moreover, hospitality is a very personal matter – it is about opening the self to the other, as well as the home or the dwelling. Debates about hospitality always seem to contain an unresolved surplus of connections and disjunctions between these scales of nation, home, and subject. Movement between the frames of house/home and national territory, owner and sovereign, or ethics and politics seem theoretically routine, yet always suggestive that there is something unspoken or missing in the transition from self, to home, and to nation.
Offshore Hospitality: Law, Asylum and Colonisation
Authors: Giannacopoulos Maria
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this essay is to trace the ongoing relevance of two cases, which might too readily be dismissed as irrelevant to contemporary border debates and asylum policy developments. The critical questions of sovereignty and hospitality that arose from Mabo and others v Queensland (No 2) (1992), High Court of Australia (‘Mabo’) and Ruddock v Vadarlis (2001), Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (‘Tampa’) have lost none of their urgency or currency since the most profound questions of justice contained within them were cast as non-justiciable and so remain unresolved. The continued effacement of Aboriginal sovereignty and the refusal by the Australian state to provide refuge for asylum seekers continue to structure national and international spaces even as the legal issues of the cases are pronounced resolved and closed. In this essay, I argue that Mabo and Tampa continue to be worthy of attention since the developments in sovereignty undertaken in their name, continue to provide an unacknowledged precedent for contemporary border developments. I deploy Derrida’s work on law’s violence and hospitality in order to unpack the relations that hold between hospitality, law and violence.
Unwelcome Welcome – Being ‘at Home’ in an Age of Global Migration
Authors: Dahlberg Leif
Published: November 2024

In this article I analyse contemporary conceptions of and attitudes to irregular immigrants in France as they are presented in national legislations and policy documents – generally as unwelcome, unwanted, undesired strangers. I also study how these laws and policies have been challenged by more hospitable and humane attitudes among activists, artists and culture producers as well as philosophers. In order to do this, I focus on a series of events and debates leading up to the most recent amendment of the French Code of Entry and Sojourn of Foreigners and of Right to Asylum (Code de l’entrée et du séjour des étrangers et du droit d’asile, abbreviated CESEDA). These events and debates highlight internal tensions and contradictions in contemporary conceptions of and attitudes to irregular migrants not only in France but in the European Union (EU) in general.

Perhaps I was among the first dressed in 'zebra' clothes to appear in that place called Trzebinia; I immediately found myself the centre of a dense group of curious people, who interrogated me volubly in Polish. I replied as best I could in German: and in the middle of the group of workers and peasants a bourgeois appeared, with felt hat, glasses and a leather briefcase in his hand - a lawyer.
No longer mute: law/culture/white lies
Authors: Schmutz S. L.
Published: November 2024

This paper presents a critique of the political nature of law from a particular viewpoint. A viewpoint articulated by people of various cultural backgrounds against a monomaniac legal standard. This viewpoint has been categorised as the Race Theory Movement and it confirms the thesis that, indeed, law is political. Because, when a critique is categorised as a single issue movement, a dual process begins: the viewpoint is subtly trivialised as limited (eg. according to gender only, or minority only), therefore it is considered to be unimportant to the society at large. At the same time, the dominant legal culture is reinforced as the norm that is natural. A legal culture that embodies white Anglo-Saxon values. The assumption is that law is/should be defined by this dominant ethos. Any other contribution to the development of law in the society is considered to be a mere "sideline" issue. However, the seemingly harmless dominant ethos is, in truth, supportive of "the political reality of power structure [in our legal culture] which disempower[ed] many others in a society" (Bames 1990: 1869).
Thinking through the body of the law. Pheng Cheah, David Fraser and Judith Grbich (eds)
Authors: Quilter Julia
Published: November 2024

Thinking Through the Body of the Law (1996) is a pathbreaking book which should presage further works of its kind. While the essays are more diverse than coherent, there is a general attempt to supplement Critical Legal Studies, Feminist Jurisprudence and Critical Race Theories' re-conceptualisation of the Law as something other than an isolated practice of objective and impartial rules. The authors question our understanding of ethics, embodiment, the social and law/justice. In doing so they present us with an inspiring range of trajectories which call for further research. In this respect, the title of the book sets an overly ambitious agenda. The title performatively asserts that the 'thinking' that is done in this book accomplishes a 'thinking through the body of the law.' This presumes a movement involving destination and arrival; parameters which seem both an impossibility and an undesirability given the subject. To re-conceptualise ethics, embodiment and law-justice, as Patton attests in the book, requires us to find 'new fonns' (p.59) that will not be known in advance of the process nor be final in their 'specific detenninations.'

Fabricating legalities of state in the Imperial West: The social work of the courthouse in late Victorian and Edwardian British Columbia
Authors: Windsor Liscombe R.
Published: November 2024

The courthouse, especially as conceived and consumed at the zenith of the British Empire, exemplifies the symbolic no less than the regulatory work assigned to architecture in the ordering of modern society (Pevsner 1976, Markus 1993, Paré 1978, Collins 1971, Carter 1983). The courthouse was frequently the major public building erected in the urban settlements colonising the margins of Empire. Moreover the courthouse was largely unaffected by the sectarian associations attaching to religious, governmental and even commercial structures. The material presence of the courthouse, generally superior to that of contemporary buildings in scale, structure and decoration, was a major incident in the assertion and articulation of both distant imperial and local colonial authority. That presence reinforced the actual and associational processes of spatial ordering and socialising particularly inscribed in property ownership (Lefebvre 1991, Perera 1998). The assignment of property was, in the popular adage, nine-tenths of the law and the symbolic function of the courthouse was enhanced by the promotion of greater visual and historical literacy within the dominant imperial citizenry (Leonard 1995, Levine 1992). Existing on the cusp between popular and mass culture, this type of predominantly bourgeois literacy eventuated from the advent of popular publication and increased public education (Adorno 2001, Bourdieu 1991, Lloyd & Thomas 1998). Both exploited the bodies of knowledge that legitimated imperial claims to displace or erase aboriginal peoples and cultures (Foucault 1980). These effects will be demonstrated through the analysis of the commissioning and reception of the courthouses built in British Columbia during the first major waves of British and European settlement and resource development in the late Victorian and Edwardian decades (Barman 1996, Mills 1977). Drawing upon comparative historical, formalist, deconstructivist, postcolonial and discursive methods, the main argument is the emergence of a new level of interactive emblematic communication between their fabric and the citizenry (Bouilloud 1997). This symbolic dialogue was, it is contended, almost as significant in the fabrication of the colonial state as the regulating systems enacted within the courthouse.
The Proclamation Island moment: making Antarctica Australian
Authors: Collis C.
Published: November 2024

This article begins with a statement, and with a scene. The statement is a reasonably straightforward one: Australia claims 42 per cent of the distant offshore continent of Antarctica as its national territory. Or, to make this article’s governing statement speak directly to the themes of this issue: nearly half of Antarctica is part of the Australian nation; it is Australian space. This statement’s validity depends on national perspective: the 1959 Antarctic Treaty, which upholds Australia’s claim, also allows other nations to refuse to recognise it. Only four nations — France, Norway, New Zealand, and Britain, all Antarctic claimants themselves — recognise Australia’s massive polar claim; to the rest, Antarctica remains non-sovereign, non-national space. Yet whether or not other nations recognise Australia’s Antarctic claim is not the focus of this article: the subject of analysis here is the complex set of cultural technologies through which six million square kilometres of Antarctica became Australian. How, exactly, did Antarctica become an Australian territorial possession? What are the cultural processes through which Antarctic land became Australian space? As a means of answering this question, this article focuses on a key moment, or scene, in the history of the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT). The article then unpacks this moment, examining the ways in which three articulated cultural technologies — representation, international territorial law, and the body of the explorer — together initiated this massive space of Australian national possession.
Protecting indigenous knowledge in international law: solidarity beyond the nation-state
Authors: Oguamanam C.
Published: November 2024

As aspects of decolonisation, indigenous and other colonised peoples’ historical claims for cultural survival, and for distinct identity, remain unresolved issues in modern international law. Following the salt-water doctrine1 which resulted in the loss of solidarity between the indigenous peoples in the enclave colonies and their counterparts in the third world, these claims have been pursued, for the most part, by the former within a narrow political rubric of human rights and self-determination. This contribution examines the complicity of the colonial nation-state, both as a concept, and an actor in marginalising the indigenous peoples of the enclave territories, and in empowering their counterparts in far-flung places. It notes that since the mid-20th century, however, the United Nations has provided a platform for indigenous peoples to challenge the circumscribing stranglehold of the nation-state as the ultimate arbiter of their claims. The protection of traditional knowledge of both the indigenous peoples in enclave territories and their non-Western counterparts elsewhere provides a rallying point in this endeavour.
Law, nation and (imagined) international communities
Authors: Buchanan R. , Pahuja S.
Published: November 2024

Although it was published more than 20 years ago, in a world that was geopolitically dramatically different from our own, it is difficult to approach the subject of nation without invoking Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities. This small book has come to serve as an almost mandatory point of reference for academic discussions of the modern nation. And although many disagree with Anderson’s analysis that ‘from the start, nation was conceived in language not in blood’ (Anderson 1991: 133), in the wake of his book it is difficult to consider nation and its relation to community without also considering the modern discursive and cultural forms through which they are each conjured and connected. That is, Anderson saliently observed that the link between community and nation is made, not found.
The feminist community of podcast producers in Brazil: mapping the profile of women
Authors: Hack Aline
Published: November 2024

This paper goes beyond celebrating podcast growth in Brazil, analyzing 511 Brazilian podcast producers (2015-2020). Using a semi-structured form, the survey focuses on outlining the profile of female producers. Drawing from gender, cultural, and political science literature, it explores how producer presence aligns with intersectional practices in Brazilian feminisms. Results indicate that women podcast producers in Brazil mostly have a college degree, variable income and identify as feminist, contributing to a unified community that engages with and challenges the political and human rights agenda, expanding discourse through communication access.

Authors: Allokendek Mutiara Lisa , Rondonuwu Dwight Mooddy , Sela Rieneke Evani
Published: November 2024

Pengembangan wisata bahari di kawasan pesisir perkotaan Manado merupakan isu strategis dan penting yang perlu dikaji dalam pemanfaatan potensi bentang alam kota ini. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui potensi kawasan pesisir Kota Manado dan merekomendasikan strategi pengembangan wisata bahari berkelanjutan untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan sumber daya alam di kawasan pesisir. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui analisis deskriptif dengan mengumpulkan data sekunder dan data primer terkait kawasan pesisir Kota Manado. Dari hasil analisis diketahui bahwa terdapat tiga bentuk pariwisata, yaitu: (1) wisata alam dari potensi sumber daya alam; (2) wisata buatan dari produk/rancangan manusia untuk kegiatan rekreasi dan hiburan; dan (3) wisata budaya yang timbul dari aktivitas masyarakat etnis atau suku di pemukiman nelayan pesisir yang harus dilestarikan. Integrasi pembangunan berkelanjutan didasarkan pada aspek ekonomi, sosial dan budaya untuk menjamin keseimbangan lingkungan di kawasan pesisir perkotaan. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan studi pendahuluan tentang pengembangan wisata bahari berkelanjutan di kawasan pesisir Kota Manado, memberikan beberapa strategi berdasarkan aspek berkelanjutan bagi manusia dan lingkungan, guna mencapai keseimbangan dan mempertahankan pengembangan wisata bahari di kawasan pesisir wilayah perkotaan Manado.  The development of marine tourism in the urban coastal areas of Manado is a strategic and important issue that needs to be studied in order to harness the potential of the city's natural landscape. The purpose of this study is to identify the potential of the coastal area of Manado and recommend sustainable strategies for the development of marine tourism, optimizing the utilization of natural resources in the region. This study collects secondary and primary data related to the coastal area of Manado and utilizes qualitative techniques through descriptive analysis. From the analysis, it is found that there are three forms of tourism: natural tourism based on the potential of natural resources, artificial tourism stemming from human products/designs for leisure and recreational activities, and cultural tourism arising from the activities of ethnic communities and tribes in coastal fishing villages, which need to be preserved. The integration of sustainable development is based on economic, social, and cultural aspects, ensuring ecological balance in the urban coastal areas. Therefore, conducting a preliminary study on the development of sustainable marine tourism in the urban coastal areas of Manado will help formulate balanced strategies based on human and environmental sustainability aspects, aiming to sustain the development of marine tourism in the urban coastal area of Manado.
Hubungan Klorofil-A Terhadap Parameter Lingkungan Di Morodemak, Jawa Tengah
Authors: Rizqi Aqshal Alfatih , Ismunarti Dwi Haryo , Maslukah Lilik
Published: November 2024

Kegiatan masyarakat di Perairan Morodemak seperti adanya lokasi penangkapan dan pelelangan ikan serta terdapatnya pemukiman penduduk berdampak terhadap menurunnya kualitas perairan seperti suhu, oksigen terlarut (DO), kecerahan serta bertambahnya konsentrasi nutrien seperti fosfat ke perairan. Parameter kualitas perairan ini selanjutnya akan mempengaruhi keberadaan pigmen klorofil-a fitoplankton di perairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengestimasi konsentrasi klorofil-a dan menentukan bagaimana pengaruh parameter lingkungan seperti suhu, kecerahan, nutrien, dan pH mempengaruhi pola sebaran klorofil-a serta melihat bagaimana distribusi klorofil-a mempengaruhi DO. Metode dalam penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dan penentuan stasiun penelitian secara purposive sampling. Hubungan antar parameter dianalisis menggunakan korelasi Pearson. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan konsentrasi klorofil-a di Perairan Morodemak berkisar antara 0,426-4,732 mg/m3. Pola distribusi klorofil-a dipengaruhi kuat oleh suhu dan salinitas. Tingginya suhu diikuti meningkatnya konsentrasi klorofil-a, dan sebaliknya konsentrasi klorofil-a menjadi menurun dengan bertambahnya nilai salinitas. Konsentrasi klorofil-a yang tinggi di wilayah studi juga tidak berdampak terhadap kenaikan nilai DO. Hubungan negatif antara klorofil-a dan salinitas memperlihatkan bahwa konsentrasi tinggi klorofil-a berada di wilayah dekat muara yang kemudian mengalami penurunan ke arah laut. Human activities in Morodemak Waters such as the presence of fish auctions and the settlement of residents have an impact on the quality of water such as temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), brightness and the increase in nutrient concentrations such as phosphate into the waters. These water quality parameters will then affect the presence of chlorophyll-a phytoplankton pigments in the waters. This study aims to estimate chlorophyll-a concentrations and determine how environmental parameters such as temperature, brightness, nutrients, and pH affect chlorophyll-a distribution patterns and see how chlorophyll-a distribution affect DO. The method in this study is descriptive and the determination of research stations by purposive sampling. The relationship between parameters was analyzed using Pearson correlation. The results showed chlorophyll-a concentrations in Morodemak Waters ranged from 0.426-4.732 mg/m3. Chlorophyll-a distribution pattern was strongly influenced by temperature and salinity. High temperatures were followed by increasing chlorophyll-a concentrations, and conversely chlorophyll-a concentrations decreased with increasing salinity values. High chlorophyll-a concentrations in the study area also did not result in an increase in DO values. The negative relationship between chlorophyll-a and salinity shows that the high concentration of chlorophyll-a is in the area near the estuary which then decreases towards the sea.

Differences in seagrass conditions at the two locations were influenced by water parameters, type of substrate, and the nutrients nitrate and phosphate found in the waters.
Effects of Matricaria aurea extract in excisional wound healing on albino rats
Authors: Khalaf Sarah Hussain , Saeed Ghassan Thabet
Published: November 2024

The Asteraceae herbal plant Matricaria aurea (Loefl.) Sch.Bip is well known for its use in treating gastrointestinal, cardiac, pulmonary, rheumatologic and many other ailments; nevertheless, wound care has not yet received scientific validation. This study was done to evaluate the efficacy of M. aurea topical formulation on the rate of wound healing and contraction and the histopathological properties of the healing tissue in a rat model of an excisional wound. A total of 45 male rats with excisional wounds were enrolled in the study. The rats were divided into three groups, each with 15 male rats weighing approximately 200–250 g. The first group received treatment with M. aurea, the second group received fusidic acid cream and the third group received normal saline. The treatment was administered for 15 days while photographs were taken every other day, the diameters were measured and a histopathologic examination was conducted. There was a significant accelerated effect for wound healing, as evidenced by the inflammatory cells and diameters reducing to almost the same degree in the M. aurea and fusidic acid groups as compared to the control group (p<0.05). In vivo, the healing of wounds in albino Wister rats is demonstrated by the ethanolic extract of M. aurea. The findings, which show enhanced contraction, epithelization and tensile strength, significantly imply that wound healing promotion and acceleration can be achieved based on faster healing as compared to negative control and similar to standard control (fusidic acid) wounds.
Rising orthotospovirus incidence in India: Challenges and advances in management
Authors: Swetha R , Rajinimala N , Yesuraja I , Jeberlin PB , Elanchezhyan K
Published: November 2024

Orthotospoviruses (OV) have emerged as a significant agricultural threat in India, posing a severe risk to critical crops, including tomato, chilli, watermelon and groundnut. This review explores the rising incidence of OV, including Groundnut Bud Necrosis Orthotospovirus (GBNV), Watermelon Bud Necrosis Orthotospovirus (WBNV), Capsicum Chlorosis Orthotospovirus (CaCV), Peanut Yellow Spot Orthotospovirus (PYSV), Iris yellow spot Orthotospovirus (IYSV) and Tomato Spotted Wilt Orthotospovirus (TSWV), along with the challenges in their management. These viruses have led to severe yield losses, sometimes causing complete crop failure due to their wide host range and the polyphagous nature of thrips. This further complicates control efforts by facilitating rapid spread across diverse crops and regions. The review highlights the multifaceted challenges in managing OV and thrips, including the lack of durable host resistance, limited diagnostic capabilities, and difficulties in controlling thrips populations. Current management strategies, including cultural practices, chemical control, biological control and resistant genotype development, have shown limited efficacy in providing long-term solutions. Recent advancements in biotechnological approaches, such as RNA interference, are discussed as promising pathways for improved virus management. The review underscores the need for genome editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, which offer the capacity to develop virus-resistant plants by targeting essential viral or vector genes to disrupt transmission cycles. Additionally, using nanoparticles for targeted delivery of antiviral compounds and novel detection tools presents another innovative solution to effectively mitigate the impact of OV on Indian agriculture.
QSAR prediction of toxicity for a new 1,2,4-triazole derivatives with 2-bromo-5-methoxyphenyl fragment
Authors: Skoryi M. P. , Shcherbyna R. O.
Published: November 2024

New derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole are promising research targets due to their unique biological properties, including antimicrobial, antifungal, antitumor, and antioxidant activities. The introduction of the 2-bromo-5-methoxyphenyl fragment into the triazole structure potentially enhances these properties. However, the issue of toxicity for such compounds remains a critical factor for their further application. To reduce experimental costs and time, QSAR (Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship) methods are widely applied, allowing to predict compounds toxicity based on their molecular structure.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of new derivatives of 5-(2-bromo-5-methoxyphenyl)-4-R-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols, their acids, and esters using the QSAR method to predict parameters of acute toxicity (LD50) and to assess the influence of various radicals on the toxicity of the compounds.
Materials and methods. The objects of this study were derivatives of 5-(2-bromo-5-methoxyphenyl)-4-R-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols, synthesized at the Department of Toxicological and Inorganic Chemistry of Zaporizhzhia State Medical and Pharmaceutical University. The nearest neighbor method was used for toxicity evaluation, applying the Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (TEST). The prediction of rats lethal dose (LD50) was based on the structural similarity of the studied compounds with known substances that have experimental toxicity data.
Results. The QSAR analysis revealed that structural modifications in the derivatives of 5-(2-bromo-5-methoxyphenyl)-4-R-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols significantly influence their toxicity. Specifically, increasing the size of the radicals, especially through the introduction of aromatic fragments, contributed to the enhanced safety of the compounds, as evidenced by the increase in LD50 values. The highest LD50 values were observed for compounds containing phenyl radicals.
Conclusions. The results of this study indicate the feasibility of using QSAR models to predict the toxicity of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives containing a 2-bromo-5-methoxyphenyl fragment. The observed trend of increasing safety with the introduction of larger aromatic radicals can be used for the rational design of new compounds with improved toxicological properties.

Detecting interactions with random forests: a comment on Gries’ words of caution and suggestions for improvement
Authors: Strobl Carolin , Rothacher Yannick , Theiler Sven , Henninger Mirka
Published: November 2024

Tree-based methods are being both successfully applied and critically discussed in corpus linguistics. In this article, we would like to contribute a few aspects to this discussion from a methodological point of view. These aspects include the interpretation of interaction effects in single trees and random forests, as well as more general aspects like stability and overfitting. In particular, we have conducted a simulation study to investigate an approach suggested by Gries for computing the importance of interactions in random forests more systematically than the previous literature. The evidence of this simulation study shows that, even when interaction predictors are explicitly added, the permutation variable importance is not suited for distinguishing between main effects and interaction effects or between interaction effects of different orders. We also discuss the use of partial dependence (PD) and individual conditional expectation (ICE) plots for illustrating the functional form and potential interaction effects, and other means of interpretable machine learning.

We consider the followingcomparative effectiveness scenario. There are two treatments for a particular medical condition: a randomized experiment has demonstrated mediocre effectiveness for the first treatment, while a non-randomized study of the second treatment reports a much higher success rate. On what grounds might one justifiably prefer the second treatment over the first treatment, given only the information from those two studies, including design details? This situation occurs in reality and warrants study.

Methods

We consider a particular example involving studies of treatments for Crohn's disease. In order to help resolve these cases of asymmetric evidence, we make three contributions and apply them to our example.

Results

First, we demonstrate the potential to improve success rates above those found in a randomized trial, given heterogeneous effects. Second, we prove that deliberate treatment assignment can be more efficient than randomization when study results are to be transported to formulate an intervention policy on a wider population. Third, we provide formal conditions under which a temporal-discontinuity design approximates a randomized trial, and we introduce a novel design parameter to inform researchers about the strength of that approximation.

Conclusions

Overall, our results indicate that while randomization certainly provides special advantages, other study designs such as temporal-discontinuity designs also have distinct advantages, and can produce valuable evidence that informs treatment decisions and intervention policy.
Navigating power and impoliteness in criminal court discourse
Authors: Mısır Hülya , Akın Gülay
Published: November 2024

This study uses an interactional pragmatic approach to examine impoliteness in Turkish High Criminal Court proceedings, offering an alternative perspective compared to the Anglo-American contexts typically explored in legal discourse research. Grounded in (Culpeper, Jonathan. 1996. Towards an anatomy of impoliteness. Journal of Pragmatics 25. 349–367.) impoliteness super strategies, the analysis draws from 45-min audio recordings of seven criminal trials, focusing on impoliteness during the examination-in-chief. The findings reveal a significant register clash, especially from a defendant who deviates from formal legal norms through misalignment, mock impoliteness, threats, and profanity. This disruption challenges courtroom decorum, affects power dynamics, and influences trial progression and interaction, underscoring the complex interplay between institutional authority and individual behavior, which shapes overall (im)politeness in the courtroom.
Übersetzungsorientierte Didaktisierung juristischer Phraseologie
Authors: Bielawski Paweł
Published: November 2024

Legal phraseology is an essential component of legal language, and thus of legal communication, in both quantitative and qualitative terms. It is also one of the main problems in legal translation since legal phraseological units are determined by law-specific factors, and as such are usually unknown to legal translators, who in most cases are not lawyers. As there are still no aids to support the translation of legal phraseology, legal translators struggle with legal phraseology. This is problematic for interlingual legal communication since certain fixed word combinations induce certain extra-linguistic actions in legal practice, thereby triggering legal consequences. A bad translation can cause the action intended by the sender to be omitted or another action to occur. Therefore, the didactization of legal phraseology for purposes of legal translation is a very important task for phraseodidactics. Since there is still no corresponding phraseodidactic approach, this paper proposes a didactic concept for the translation of legal phraseology to familiarize prospective and practicing legal translators with features of legal phraseology, teach them strategies for translating this phraseology, and show them how to develop tools for translating legal phraseology on its own. The paramount goal of such didactics is to ease the translation of legal phraseology and, ipso facto, improve the quality of interlingual legal communication. With this objective in mind, this article first outlines the most important prerequisites of legal translation and then highlights the features of legal phraseology, characterizing the individual types of legal phraseology by their communicative functions using German legal language as an example. Thereafter, the focus shifts to phraseodidactics, which can provide remedies for legal phraseology translation, analyzing the most important phraseodidactic methods so far proposed by phraseodidacticians. In concluding, the article presents a didactic concept for the translation of legal phraseology.
Los fraseologismos en el aula de prácticas de traducción: estudio de caso sobre el impacto de los traductores automáticos
Authors: Sanz-Villar Zuriñe
Published: November 2024

The use of machine translation (MT) systems by undergraduate and postgraduate students has been analysed in different studies (Sycz-Opoń and Gałuskina 2017; Jia et al. 2019; Loock and Léchauguette 2021, to mention a few). An analysis of the German-into-Basque translation of multi-word expressions (Sanz-Villar 2024) observed that students’ dependence on MT systems was very high; i.e., traces of the MT proposals were found in the outputs of translation trainees. To specifically analyse the impact of MT proposals on students’ translations, two tasks were designed in 2021 in which nine students participated. Both tasks consisted of translating an excerpt of a children’s literary text from German into Basque. The first translation task was done with the aid of MT tools and the second was a from-scratch translation where the use of MT systems was not allowed. The goal of the present study is to compare the results of both tasks, focusing on the translation of phraseological units (PUs) to observe the features of students’ translations accomplished with and without the aid of MT tools. Since students used MT outputs during the first translation task, machine-translated texts are also compared to human-translated ones. The results show that the tendency to retain the phraseological character of the original text is stronger in professional translations than in machine-translated texts. In general, reliance on MT system outputs when translating PUs is quite strong among trainee translators. When comparing the results of the two tasks, it was observed that for some students, the number of techniques used to maintain the phraseological level of the original text increased in the translation done without MT. Interestingly, examples of creative translations were found in the translations done without the aid of MT tools.
Long-Run Volatility Memory Dynamics and Inter-Market Linkages in GCC Equity Markets: Application of DCC-FIGARCH Models
Authors: Mohamed Riyath Mohamed Ismail , Aldabbous Nagham
Published: November 2024

The study investigates volatility persistence, long-term memory and time-varying conditional correlations among the stock markets of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Daily equity index data between 2012 and 2024 were analyzed using univariate fractionally integrated generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (FIGARCH) models to examine long-memory behavior and multivariate dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) models to assess conditional correlations between these markets. For each of the GCC equity markets, the analysis highlighted large degrees of long-memory and volatility persistence. Finally, the DCC model shows that strong and dynamic Intermarket links among the GCC, especially between KSA and UAE, exist and reflect significant volatility spillover from good economic ties. This study fills the gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive understanding of long-run volatility memory and inter-market associations in the GCC stock markets.
Effects of Shoe-Leather Cost on Consumer Cash Withdrawal Behavior
Authors: Chen Heng , Strathearn Matthew , Voia Marcel
Published: November 2024

This paper studies an empirical model of shoe-leather cost applied to consumer cash withdrawal. The unique feature is to estimate the effect of shoe-leather cost from the cash inventory model by filtering out free-type consumers who do not incur shoe-leather costs. When compared to the costly-type consumers, the free-type do not need to go out of their ways from home to visit banks to withdraw cash because they can economise their travel costs by combining withdrawals with other activities, such as, one-stop multi-purpose trip on either their ways to work or shopping. We find that the cash withdrawal frequency significantly decreases with the travel distance; otherwise the estimated shoe-leather cost without distinguishing between free- and costly-types is close to zero and insignificant. This finding suggests that in order to maintain cash accessibility, the policy need not only consider the supply of physical branch infrastructure, but also account for consumer’s travel pattern.

La expansión novelística en Costa Rica (1990-2024)
Authors: Molina Jiménez Iván
Published: November 2024

This article analyzes the expansion in the number of the published novels in Costa Rica which was favored by the growth of private publishing activity. Therefore, this process depended on the economic capacity of the authors (men more than women) to finance their works. Starting in the 21st century, self-publishing was reinforced by the emergence of platforms where it is possible to publish for free, such as Amazon. Because this boom of published novels did not respond to an effective demand from diverse audiences of readers, it was limited in scope: writers typically published only one novel, and mostly only one edition was published.
