Photonic Bandgap Closure and Metamaterial Behavior in 1D Periodic Chains of High-Index Nanobricks
Authors: Díaz-Escobar Evelyn , Mercadé Laura , Barreda Ángela I. , García-Rupérez Jaime , Martínez Alejandro
Published: September 2022

It has been shown that the photonic bandgap of one-dimensional (1D) dielectric periodic thin films can vanish at the first Bragg condition for TM modes. Here, we address the case of 1D photonic crystal slabs formed by a chain of high-index dielectric particles with transversal confinement and show that the Bragg bandgap can vanish for both TE- and TM-like modes. Calculations using plane-wave expansion and finite-difference time-domain methods confirm that the PBG vanishes. PBG closure is explained as being a result of the interplay between the electric and magnetic dipole resonances of the isolated nanoparticle with Bragg resonance, as confirmed by calculating the electric and magnetic dipoles of the isolated nanobricks. This can be considered as a manifestation of the metamaterial behavior of the 1D system when using silicon as an underlying material. Our finding may have important consequences for the fields of photonic crystals and all-dielectric metamaterials.

Published: September 2022

The adoption of power cyber physical systems (Power CPS) is becoming more and more widespread, and as risk spreads, cascading failures of overload behavior can lead to the collapse of individual or entire networks, becoming a major threat to the network security. Taking the power CPS coupling node pair as the starting point, this paper establishes the comprehensive indicators characterizing the importance and vulnerability of the coupled node pair, based on the idea of intrusion tolerance, when the cyber side is faulted by the network attack, the system actively carries out reasonable and effective dynamic load redistribution based on the indicators updated after each round of cascading, thereby inhibiting the spread of risk, reducing system losses, and improving survivability. The above theory is simulated on the IEEE 30-bus system and concludes that the proposed load redistribution strategy can effectively reduce the loss of the system after attacks.

Authors: Sen Sedat , Yildirim Ibrahim
Published: September 2022

Meta-analysis has started to take place among the most used methodologies in psychological research. Such a technique allows researchers to combine the data sets obtained from several individual studies on the same topic and thus is particularly useful for finding solutions to controversial issues that cannot be solved with individual studies. This paper presents a detailed tutorial of the IBM SPSS software, which enables one to implement the statistical analyses for meta-analysis. Examples are also provided to highlight the main analyses conducted in the meta-analysis. The tutorial ends by discussing the differences between IBM SPSS capabilities and those of other software packages.
God, Evil, and Meticulous Providence
Authors: Reichenbach Bruce R.
Published: September 2022

James Sterba has constructed a powerful argument for there being a conflict between the presence of evil in the world and the existence of God. I contend that Sterba’s argument depends on a crucial assumption, namely, that God has an obligation to act according to the principle of meticulous providence. I suggest that two of his analogies confirm his dependence on this requirement. Of course, his argument does not rest on either of these analogies, but they are illustrative of the role that meticulous providence plays in his argument. I then investigate the ethical principles Sterba invokes in his use of meticulous providence and suggest that not only do we often not predicate goodness of human persons based on these principles of obligation, but that these principles are much too stringent to function to determine moral obligations and moral goodness. From there, I contend that to think that God has a similar obligation regarding meticulous providence in order to be good encounters several serious problems, especially with respect to the soul-building Sterba wants to preserve. I conclude by considering Sterba’s reply in terms of a limited application of meticulous providence.
“We Are Cousins. Our Father Is Abraham…”: Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism with the Abraham Accords
Authors: Elman Miriam F. , Shams Raeefa Z.
Published: September 2022

This article addresses how the Abraham Accords, a series of agreements that are normalizing relations between Israel and a growing number of countries in the Arab world, could be harnessed to counter antisemitic discourses outside of the Middle East region. In particular, we argue that interfaith activities under the framework of the Abraham Accords demonstrate that hostility is not an inevitable response to Israel’s presence in the region. This article highlights the unique framework for peacebuilding that underpins the Abraham Accords and discusses how it has generated a new flourishing of Jewish life in its signatory countries, including unprecedented efforts to address antisemitism and an acknowledgement of the centrality of Zionism to contemporary Jewish identity. We juxtapose these positive developments with the growing ostracism and demoralization of those Jews in the diaspora who identify with Israel and highlight how the Abraham Accords offers a different narrative for fruitful dialogue.
The Efficiency of Green Technology Innovation and Its Influencing Factors in Wastewater Treatment Companies
Authors: Xu Xiaofeng , Zhou Qiang , Chen Xiangyu , Li Yiqi , Jiang Yiqiu
Published: September 2022

To achieve the harmonious development of economic growth and the environment, nations must pay more attention to wastewater treatment and boost efficiency using green technology. This study applies the Malmquist-DEA model to assess the efficiency of green technology innovation in 19 Chinese wastewater treatment companies between 2017 and 2020. In addition, focus is placed on the core wastewater treatment technology of the companies with excellent performance, indicating how wastewater treatment companies may improve their green technology. The results of the study indicate that, first, the overall effectiveness of green technology innovation in companies follows a rising and then decreasing trend. In 2020, wastewater treatment companies’ green technology innovation efficiency was around 17.4 percent lower than in 2017. Improving technical progress is the key to boosting the total factor productivity of wastewater treatment companies. Second, based on the Tobit regression, the shareholding ratio of companies has a positive influence on the technical efficiency of companies. Therefore, China should increase innovation capacity and productivity, adopt current sewage treatment technology from overseas, and thus gradually achieve clean sewage utilization and ecological environment management.
Assessment of Urban Green Development Efficiency Based on Three-Stage DEA: A Case Study from China’s Yangtze River Delta
Authors: Yang Qi , Sun Zhonggen , Zhang Hubiao
Published: September 2022

With the march of global urbanization, there are looming problems including environmental degradation and remediation all over the world. In this case, urban green development is the key to overcoming climate crisis, biodiversity loss and pollution. In this paper, a three-stage DEA model was employed to study the urban green development efficiency (GDE), with cities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) as the object. In the study, the regional economic foundation, urbanization level, industrial structure and government planning were used as external environmental variables, and the impact of objective external environmental factors was tested empirically, thereby eliminating the adverse environmental impact and statistical noise to obtain more truthful GDE. According to the results, first, the influence of external environmental factors and stochastic disturbance on GDE was effectively removed by virtue of the three-stage DEA model, and the GDE of the YRD was measured in a true and objective manner. The GDE of the YRD in Stage III was notably higher than that in Stage I since the GDE in Stage I was underestimated under the influence of objective environmental variables. Second, the GDE level showed heterogeneity in different cities, which behaved better in coastal and southeastern regions than in central, western and northern regions. Third, regarding the impact of external environmental variables, the GDE was enhanced by increasing the proportion of the tertiary industry and the green area of built districts but weakened when the area of built districts (ABD) reflecting urban construction was expanded. The index gross regional product (GRP) reflects local economic development level, the impact of which on GDE was not determined in this paper. As a consequence, in the process of urban development, it is suggested to focus on the innovation and application of green technology, upgrade the industrial structure, cultivate green talents, and formulate reasonable green transformation policies.

In this research, the effect of the interelectrode distance (d) in the electrocoagulation (EC) reactor was studied. The experiments were carried out with varying d in values of 3, 5, and 9 mm during the treatment of water contaminated with fluoride (F−). The response variables analyzed were the treatment time necessary to reduce the residual concentration of F− to 1.5 mg L−1, the number of aluminum hydroxides formed, the potential drop in the reactor terminals, and the electric power consumption of the reactor. The software FLUENT version 6.3 was employed to simulate the liquid velocity profiles achieved in the reactor chamber. The results obtained show that the liquid velocity increases in the interelectrode spaces to 0.48, 0.65, and 0.86 m s−1 for interelectrode distances of 9, 5, and 3 mm, respectively, which favors not only the formation of flocs but also the elimination of fluoride. With a shorter interelectrode distance, the EC reactor not only consumes less electrical energy but also fewer electrodes, and the dispersion of generated flocs in the reactor chamber is major, which is more important than the quantity of flocs generated in it.

Published: September 2022

Anatomically accurate models of a human finger can be useful in simulating various disorders. In order to have potential clinical value, such models need to include a large number of tissue types, identified by an experienced professional, and should be versatile enough to be readily tailored to specific pathologies. Magnetic resonance images were acquired at ultrahigh magnetic field (7 T) with a radio-frequency coil specially designed for finger imaging. Segmentation was carried out under the supervision of an experienced radiologist to accurately capture various tissue types (TTs). The final segmented model of the human index finger had a spatial resolution of 0.2 mm and included 6,809,600 voxels. In total, 15 TTs were identified: subcutis, Pacinian corpuscle, nerve, vein, artery, tendon, collateral ligament, volar plate, pulley A4, bone, cartilage, synovial cavity, joint capsule, epidermis and dermis. The model was applied to the conditions of arthritic joint, ruptured tendon and variations in the geometry of a finger. High-resolution magnetic resonance images along with careful segmentation proved useful in the construction of an anatomically accurate model of the human index finger. An example illustrating the utility of the model in biomedical applications is shown. As the model includes a number of tissue types, it may present a solid foundation for future simulations of various musculoskeletal disease processes in human joints.

Published: September 2022

Engineered nanoparticles have recently been used for innovation in agricultural disease management. However, both the toxicity effects and mechanisms of nanoparticles in target pathogens and their host plants are still largely unknown. Here, we found that magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) could protect potatoes against Phytophthora infestans (P. infestans) at a low dosage (50 μg/mL). Through scanning electron microscopy observation, antioxidant enzymes activity measurement, and gene transcriptome analysis, we found that the cell surfaces of P. infestans were destroyed, endogenous superoxide dismutase continuously remained in a higher active state, oxidoreductase activity-related gene ontology (GO) terms were enriched with upregulation, and transporter-activity related GO terms and six essential metabolism-related pathways were enriched with downregulation in P. infestans after 30 min MgO NPs treatment, whereas only 89 genes were changed without enriched GO and pathways terms, and no change in antioxidant activities and phenylalnine ammonialyase in potato appeared at 6 h post-MgO NPs treatment. Only the “plant hormone signal transduction pathway” was enriched with upregulation under differential expression analysis in potatoes. In conclusion, cell surface distortion, continuous oxidative stress, and inhibitions of membrane transport activity and metabolic pathways were toxic mechanisms of Mg ONPs in P. infestans, and the “plant hormone signal transduction pathway” was potentially regulated by Mg-ONPs without obviously harmful effects on potato after Mg ONPs exposure.
Synergistic Effect of Charge Separation and Multiple Reactive Oxygen Species Generation on Boosting Photocatalytic Degradation of Fluvastatin by ZnIn2S4/Bi2WO6 Z-Scheme Heterostructured Photocatalytst
Authors: Liu Tingting , Yang Fanyu , Wang Liming , Pei Liang , Hu Yushan , Li Ru , Hou Kang , Ren Tianlong
Published: September 2022

The application of semiconductor photocatalysts with narrow band gaps is hindered by the rapid recombination of electron–hole pairs and limitation of multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) synchronous generation. A n–n-type direct Z-scheme heterostructured photocatalyst was constructed based on the staggered band alignment of bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6) and indium zinc sulfide (ZnIn2S4) to reveal the synergistic effect of charge separation and multiple ROS synchronous generation on boosting photocatalytic performance. Under irradiation, electrons in the conduction band (CB) of Bi2WO6 and holes in the valence band (VB) of ZnIn2S4 recombined at interface to prolong the lifetime of electrons in the CB of ZnIn2S4 and holes in the VB of Bi2WO6. Meanwhile, the multiple ROS synchronously generated to oxidize pollutant due to the strong redox ability of electrons of ZnIn2S4 and holes of Bi2WO6, which was determined by the CB potential of ZnIn2S4 and VB potential of Bi2WO6. The results provided valuable insights for the application of photocatalysts with a narrow band gap in the field of water pollution control.

Published: September 2022

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that has recently emerged as a global health threat. The rise in ZIKV infections has driven an increased incidence of neonates born with microcephaly or other neurological malformations. Therefore, screening for ZIKV infection can considerably impact pregnant women, especially during the first trimester. The majority of ZIKV infections are mild or asymptomatic, and clinical diagnosis is inaccurate. Moreover, given the high level of cross-reactivity among flaviviruses, serological approaches to distinguish ZIKV from dengue virus (DENV) infections are complicated. We used the combination of DENV and ZIKV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and ZIKV NS1 blockade-of-binding (BOB) ELISA to test the convalescent sera of non-flavivirus, primary DENV, secondary DENV, and ZIKV infections. Our findings indicate that primary testing using a ZIKV NS1 IgG ELISA, the test of choice for large-scale ZIKV serosurvey studies, provided relatively high sensitivity. Moreover, the confirmation of positive ELISA results using the ZIKV NS1 BOB ELISA increased average specificity to 94.59% across serum samples. The combined use of two simple ELISAs for ZIKV serosurveys and the monitoring of ZIKV infection during pregnancy can elucidate the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and complications of ZIKV in DENV-endemic areas.

Human visceral leishmaniasis is a major public health problem in the Amazon. Thus, we analyzed the spatial distribution of this disease and its relationship with epidemiological, socioeconomic, and environmental variables in the Carajás Integration Region, Pará state, from 2011 to 2020. Epidemiological data for this ecological study were obtained from the State Public Health Secretariat, environmental data were obtained from the National Space Research Institute, and socioeconomic data were obtained from the Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute. ArcGIS 10.5.1 software was used for classifying land use and cover and for the Kernel and Moran spatial analyses. It was observed in 685 confirmed cases that the epidemiological profile followed the national pattern of the disease occurrence, with a high prevalence in children who were not school-aged. The disease had a non-homogeneous distribution with clusters related to different human activities, such as urbanization, ranching, and mining. A spatial dependence between the disease prevalence and socioeconomic indicators was observed. The municipalities presented gradients of case densities associated with a direct relationship between areas with cases and deforestation. The disease is developing due to risk factors such as establishment and maintenance related to the non-sustainable development model implemented in the region, pointing to the need for its revision.

Published: September 2022

Ibadah digital mulai dilaksanakan apalagi dengan adanya pandemi covid-19. Muncul berbagai pandangan mengenai ibadah digital termasuk di kalangan anggota Gereja Toraja yang memperlihatkan bahwa ibadah digital kurang efektif. Untuk mewujudkan ibadah digital yang lebih efektif maka perlu untuk menganalisis ibadah itu sendiri. Untuk itu penulis menggunakan metode research and development (RnD). Pada studi pendahuluan, penulis menganalisis mengenai ibadah secara khusus dalam PL yang kemudian penulis menemukan bahwa dalam ibadah Kristen harus menyatakan respons atas inisiatif Allah, pembacaan dan pemberitaan Firman Tuhan, waktu dan tempat yang kudus. Kesadaran bahwa ibadah digital itu dilakukan sebagai respons (anabatis) atas inisiatif Allah (katabatis) yang diekspresikan dengan mempersembahkan seluruh totalitas hidup secara sukarela kepada Tuhan. Pikiran, waktu, konsentrasi, dll dalam ibadah digital itu harus dipersembahkan kepada Tuhan. Pembacaan dan pemberitaan Firman Tuhan harus dilakukan dengan kesadaran bahwa itu mengingatkan pada aspek Katabatis yang menjadi sentral secara khusus bagi gereja Toraja. Sebagai bagian dari Gereja Toraja, maka ibadah digital harus dilakukan dengan memperhatikan waktu dan tempat yang telah dikuduskan secara bersama sebagai anggota Gereja Toraja.

Published: September 2022

Artan internet ve sosyal medya kullanımı ile sosyal medya ve online haber siteleri bilgi içeriklerini oluşturmada ve yaymada önemli kaynaklar haline gelmişlerdir. Ancak online bilginin miktarı ve üretilme hızından ötürü insan eliyle doğrulanması mümkün olamamaktadır. Dahası rejimler, hükümetler ve etnik kökenler denetimden uzak sahte haberlerin yıkıcı etkisine maruz kalmakta ve bu olumsuz etkilerin minimuma indirgenmesi için yeni teknolojilere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Son yıllarda farklı doğal dil işleme görevlerinde ön-eğitimli modeller başarı ile kullanılmaktadır. Derin sinir ağı ve kavramsal kelime gömülmelerinin birlikte kullanılması durumunda hangi sınıflandırıcının daha verimli olduğu hususu yeterince net değildir. Bu noktada kapsamlı ve karşılaştırmalı çalışmanın eksikliğinden ötürü Global Vektörler (GloVe) gömülme katmanının sağladığı bağlamsal temsiller ile dört farklı sınıflandırıcı deneysel sürece dahil edilmiştir.

Published: September 2022

Las teorías de la vida cotidiana han construido un enfoque innovador para el abordaje del hábitat masivo. Los análisis interseccionales advierten sobre el impacto de las urbanizaciones monofuncionales. Estos conjuntos de vivienda social, construidos bajo el paradigma de la utilización extensiva de territorio y baja densidad, provocan sobre los grupos más vulnerables, segregación, inseguridad, exclusión social y, en general, degradación del uso de la ciudad. Con el objetivo de visibilizar estas consecuencias, este trabajo se interroga sobre las condiciones de un conjunto habitacional como cualificador del espacio urbano. ¿Qué elementos considerar para garantizar la igualdad de oportunidades, valiéndose de las prestaciones de la ciudad en proximidad?En términos metodológicos, se propone interpelar al barrio El Mercadito (La Plata), una urbanización representativa de una operatoria particular de construcción de viviendas (Subprograma de Urbanización de Villa y Asentamientos). Se construyen para este caso de estudio, cartografías temáticas georreferenciadas, identificando redes de transporte, espacios de relación y equipamiento, considerando las escalas suprabarrial, barrio y vecindario.Parte de los resultados pretenden aportar desde un análisis crítico, con la identificación de estrategias tendientes a la rehabilitación de conjuntos monofuncionales de baja densidad, ponderando sus efectos sobre el acceso al goce de las externalidades positivas de la ciudad.
Lo común. Una nueva mirada para la vivienda colectiva
Authors: Franco López Víctor
Published: September 2022

El presente trabajo se centra en el interés por el paradigma filosófico-político emergente de lo común como respuesta a las crisis sistémicas que atravesamos desde las últimas décadas en relación a múltiples esferas: ambiental, económica, social, política, etc., especialmente en las grandes ciudades.En respuesta a estos desafíos, acentuados por la crisis sanitaria global del COVID-19, la hipótesis principal es que lo común puede permitirnos repensar la vivienda colectiva desde una nueva perspectiva, rompiendo la lógica binaria y jerárquica con la que entendemos el espacio. Se plantea que el proyecto de vivienda colectiva a partir de lo común podría permitir la repolitización del espacio doméstico y su adaptación a los desafíos contemporáneos, posibilitando configuraciones habitacionales capaces de albergar estructuras de convivencia diversas y una variedad de situaciones y actividades compartidas de calidad.En este sentido, el interés del presente artículo reside principalmente en poder aportar una nueva mirada sobre la vivienda colectiva que sirva para generar nuevas preguntas y para ayudar a diseñar espacios domésticos de mayor calidad, con el objetivo de posibilitar una vida cotidiana más saludable y repolitizar el espacio doméstico en la esfera de la proximidad. Para ello, se presentan avances de investigación del laboratorio La Ciudad Común a partir de una metodología aplicada a treinta casos de estudio en Buenos Aires y Rosario, Argentina, entre 1880 y 2020.

Relationship Between Sleep Quality and Incidence of Acne Vulgaris in Students of the Faculty of Medicine, Baiturrahmah University Batch of 2020
Authors: Primawati Irma , Ningsih Leonny A , Ma’arif Mashdarul
Published: September 2022

Acne Vulgaris (AV) is a chronic skin condition caused by blockage or inflammation of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands known as pilosebaceous units. The cause of AV is not known with certainty but AV is a multifactorial disease because many factors influence the onset of acne vulgaris, namely sebum, hormones, stress, genetics, diet, and cosmetics. Poor sleep quality is also a factor influencing the onset of AV and is thought to lead to increased androgen hormone activity. Androgen hormones can trigger polysebaceous glands to produce excessive sebum on the face which then results in the emergence of AV, so that AV occurs more easily on skin that tends to be oily than dry or normal skin. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep quality and the incidence of acne vulgaris in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Baiturrahmah University Batch 2020.

Background: Depression and anxiety are common mental disorders that are often missed in primary healthcare settings due to the lack of diagnosis criteria. Using valid and reliable easy-to-use instruments can overcome this problem. Aims: To translate and culturally adapt the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorders-7 (GAD7) instruments into Arabic, determine the reliability of these translated versions, and compare them with previous attempts. Methods: Forward and blind back-translation was used to translate the instruments into Arabic. An online version was created and sent to medical school students at the Hashemite University, Jordan. For each instrument, internal consistency reliability and inter-item correlation were calculated. For each item, the mean, standard deviation, item-total correlation, and value of Cronbach’s alpha if the item was deleted were determined. Analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 25. Results: There were 256 respondents to the translated instruments. The average age was 18.85 and 61% were females. The alpha for the PHQ9 was 0.876, with an average inter-item correlation of 0.444. Removal of any of the nine items decreased the value of alpha. The GAD7 had an alpha of 0.895 with an average inter-item correlation of 0.551. Deletion of any item decreased the internal consistency reliability of the instrument. Conclusion: Using an efficient translation process that was both accurate and culturally sensitive enabled the construction of Arabic versions of the PHQ9 and the GAD7 scales that had high internal consistency reliability and good inter-item correlation.

This paper details an Integrated Single-stage converter fed sensor-less BLDC motor drive. The drive speed is regulated by altering the DC voltage of the inverter that drives the motor. The switches of the inverter are operated at the line frequency, thereby reducing the inverter switching stresses and enhancing the overall drive system efficiency. The converter works in Dual-discontinuous Current Mode (D-DCM) for Power Factor Correction (PFC) and better power quality at the supply mains. DC voltage control is used adjust the duty ratio of the converter switch. Fast voltage regulation, zero current switching at turn-on and enhanced power factor for a broad range of speeds are the advantages of this converter configuration. The necessity of Hall-Effect position sensors is eliminated by employing a sensor-less technique for brushless dc motor commutation. This reduces the dimensions, volume and expenditure of the motor drive and upgrades its overall efficiency. Drive performance is assessed over an extensive span of speeds. A power factor approximating to unity, and enhanced power quality indicators which are adequately within the sanctioned cap of IEC standard 61000-3-2 are obtained.

Massima
Il concetto di «negligenza grave» deve essere inteso quale persistente e grave disattenzione del trustee rispetto agli affari del trust o quale persistente e grave cattiva gestione di tali affari, o dei beni ivi coinvolti, tale da dimostrare una totale mancanza di rispetto del trustee verso il suo dovere essenziale: gestire i beni e gli affari del trust a beneficio di altri. È necessario, in particolare, che il trustee agisca in malafede e quest’ultima va al di là della semplice cattiva amministrazione del trust, anche se prolungata e sistematica, qualificandosi, piuttosto, quale disinteresse totale rispetto all’amministrazione del trust.
Oligarchi e azione revocatoria: profili di diritto processuale inglese (Akhmedova v Akhmedov, 21 aprile 2021)

Tesi
Talvolta accade che il trust sia utilizzato a fini abusivi. La vicenda decisa dalla sentenza in commento ne è un esempio emblematico. Le intricate vicende processuali fanno nel complesso emergere alcuni dei tratti più tipici della giustizia civile inglese: l’intolleranza all’abuso del diritto e alle manifestazioni di slealtà nei confronti dell’amministrazione della giustizia. Le decisioni interlocutorie e definitive di questa vicenda giudiziaria sanciscono l’inevitabile ripetuta soccombenza di chi si sottrae ad uno dei doveri fondamentali delle parti nel processo: quello di full and frank disclosure. In definitiva, i trust abusivi, avendo irrimediabilmente consonanti implicazioni sul piano processuale, hanno ben poche chance di sopravvivere al controllo del giudice inglese.
The author’s view
The case decided by the judgment under review shows that it sometimes happens that the trust is used for abusive purposes. The intricate procedural steps of this case bring out some of the most typical features of English civil justice system: intolerance towards abuse of rights and towards unfairness to the administration of justice. The interlocutory and final decisions in this case show how those who fail to comply with one of the fundamental duties of parties in the process - that of full and frank disclosure - are likely to lose. Ultimately, abusive trust, having consistent procedural implications, have little chance of surviving the scrutiny of English courts.
