Published: August 2018

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different adhesive application methods and etching modes on the dentin bond durability of universal adhesives under thermal cycling (TC). All-Bond Universal (Bisco), Adhese Universal (Ivoclar Vivadent), and Scotchbond Universal (3M ESPE) were used as adhesives. In total, 600 bovine teeth with exposed dentin were divided into 12 groups according to the type of adhesive and subjected to the following bonding procedures: 1) etch-and-rinse mode with active application; 2) etch-and-rinse mode with inactive application; 3) self-etch mode with active application; and 4) self-etch mode with inactive application. Bonded specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours and then subjected to 5000, 10,000, 30,000, or 50,000 TC between 5°C and 55°C before shear bond strength (SBS) testing, creating a division into a total of five different storage conditions. Baseline specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours. The SBS test was performed at a cross-head speed of 1.0 mm/min. Three-way analysis of variance revealed that all the factors of application mode, adhesive, and thermal cycle period significantly influenced the SBS values (p<0.001), regardless of the etching mode. In the baseline groups, all of the tested adhesives with active application had higher SBS values than those with inactive application, regardless of etching mode. In the TC groups, significantly lower SBS values were observed at 50,000 TC with inactive application compared to those with active application, regardless of the etching mode. From the scanning electron microscopy observation of demineralized and deproteinized resin/dentin interfaces, dense resin tags longer than 50 μm were observed in the etch-and-rinse with active application group. On the other hand, the resin tags in self-etch mode were sparse, thin, and much shorter than those in etch-and-rinse mode. Comparing the penetration status of the resin tags with active and inactive application in self-etch mode, the resin tag penetration with inactive application was much lower than that with active application. Active application is effective in enhancing the dentin bond durability of universal adhesives. When using universal adhesives with different etching modes, practitioners should select the optimal etching mode and appropriate application method in accordance with the cavity conditions.
Laboratory testing of granular kinetic theory for intense bed load transport
Authors: Matoušek Václav , Zrostlík Štěpán
Published: August 2018

Collisional interactions in a sheared granular body are typical for intense bed load transport and they significantly affect behavior of flow carrying bed load grains. Collisional mechanisms are poorly understood and modelling approaches seldom accurately describe reality. One of the used approaches is the kinetic theory of granular flows. It offers constitutive relations for local shear-induced collision-based granular quantities - normal stress, shear stress and fluctuation energy - and relates them with local grain concentration and velocity. Depth distributions of the local granular quantities produced by these constitutive relations have not been sufficiently verified by experiment for the condition of intense bed load transport in open channels and pressurized pipes. In this paper, results from a tilting-flume facility including measured velocity distribution and deduced concentration distribution (approximated as linear profiles) are used to calculate distributions of the collision-based quantities by the constitutive relations and hence to test the ability of the kinetic-theory constitutive relations to predict conditions observed in these collision-dominated flows. This test indicates that the constitutive relations can be successfully applied to model the local collisional transport of solids at positions where the local concentration is not lower than approximately 0.18 and not higher than approximately 0.47.

A Tool for Systematically Accessing the Level of Readiness of Engineering Design in Product Development
Authors: Behdinan K. , Fahimian M. , Pop-Iliev R.
Published: August 2018

Abstract – This paper introduces a top down, system-engineering approach to develop a quantifiable and systematic tool, referred to as Design Readiness Level (DRL), to gauge design at each stage of product development. It is developed to facilitate communication between different stockholders of a design project and to address the complexities arising during all the phases of product design, from initiation to completion. The design process as one of the pillars of DRL has been studied thoroughly and is categorized into nine stages to reflect the technical flow in product development. The design stages are iterative at any level from 1 to 9 and have distinctive deliverables at the end of each stage. The deliverables simplify and characterize the assessment of the design from the technical point of view. Developing a comprehensive DRL metrics that encompasses all the stockholders’ perspectives in a design is a work in progress.

Authors: Lanziner Natasha , Strong David S.
Published: August 2018

Abstract – Worldwide, political and professional organizations consider engineering to be a key profession in the application of sustainable development to solve global problems. In order for engineering professionals to play a key role in sustainable development, they must be motivated to engage in such practice. The purpose of this study is to develop a measure of students’ motivation to engage in sustainable engineering practice. A survey instrument was developed by applying a mixed-method approach consisting of a survey instrument design phase, small pilot study, and national study.

The proposed survey instrument includes 3 openended and 40 closed-ended questions to measure previous experiences and stereotypes, self-concept of abilities, and subjective task value with respect to sustainable engineering practice. Factor analyses of the closed-ended questions resulted in the identification of 7 factors, 5 of which can be considered to be strong factors. Evidence for validity and reliability is established through the pilot study and factor analyses.

Published: August 2018

Abstract – With the diverse nature of the biomedical engineering (BME) field, high school students are often limited in their understanding of the area during consideration for post-secondary study. In effort to improve student comprehension, as well as provide a unique learning opportunity in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curriculum, graduate students at the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering (IBBME; University of Toronto) have developed and launched the IBBME Discovery Program. In strong collaboration with high school educators, graduate student instructors designed and executed activity- and designbased learning focused on applicable topics in BME aligned with Ontario high school science curriculum learning outcomes. Results from this pilot suggest strong student engagement in data-based experimental learning, and graduate student development in knowledge translation and activity design through collaboration.  These results provide a strong foundation for program growth and quantitative assessment.
Peer Evaluation: Enhancing learning Opportunities and Reducing Marking Effort
Authors: Lynch Denard , Schmid Bradley
Published: August 2018

Abstract Evaluation of report-based assignments, especially in larger classes, adds a considerable marking load. Even with detailed rubrics, subjectivity may lead to grading variations and inaccuracies. Evaluation of others’ work can also be a very informative and educational experience, improving their skill through exposure to a broader performance range. Involving students in peer evaluation can potentially address both of these issues by reducing marking load, providing alternate (and increased number of) assessments, and by exposing students to a broader spectrum of report skills thus enhancing their own knowledge.

This paper discusses the results of an experiment in peer assessment and whether it can be exploited to reduce marking effort, improve accuracy for report assignment evaluation and improve student skill. The data was gathered from assignments in two different engineering classes: a second year course on safety and environmental stewardship, and a senior course on engineering economics.

For the second-year course, an individual essay assignment was marked by the instructor and two peers.  The three evaluations were analyzed to assess the accuracy and assign a grade. For the senior course, a group report on a case study was self and peer evaluated.  These evaluations were used to derive a grade for the report directly if the self and peer results were within a prescribed tolerance; other cases were resolved by instructor intervention. The results were analyzed considering the number of outliers, range of scores, and the number of cases which had to be resolved by theinstructor.

Parameters considered in assessing the results of the experiment included: the correlation between assessments, the learning opportunities for students, and instructor marking effort required. (preliminary analysis) Results suggest positive gains in reducing effort.  Improved accuracy and enhanced student learning are also expected.
A COURSE BASED APPROACH TO RECOGNIZING STUDENT EFFORTS IN ENGINEERING DESIGN COMPETITIONS
Authors: Dumond Patrick
Published: August 2018

Abstract –Recently, the University of Ottawa has sought to increase experiential learning opportunities for its engineering students. A great deal of effort has been made to remove barriers and increase resources for students participating in large-scale international engineering design competitions. However, so far students involved have participated in these extracurricular activities purely out of interest and to gain experience.

In this paper, we seek to recognize this immense effort made by students by developing a course in which students can receive credits for working on these projects. The course was split into two sessions per week involving three hours of lecturing, practical learning activities and group meetings with full guidance from the instructor and three hours of laboratory time for students to work on their project.

A few key aspects of the course were found to highly benefit the teams that had participating members in the course. A technical skill development project requiring each student to develop a new skill considered useful by their teams, proved to be the course highlight. Inter-team collaboration developed and continued after the course ended. Other aspects, while beneficial, would require improvement in future offerings the course. Extensive design report writing and presentations in the course solidified participating students’ abilities in these aspects, which was made evidently clear during these portions of each competition, but drew extensive complaints from students. Customized quizzes related to the specific competition rules for each team, given early on, gave poor results but helped strengthen rule compliance compared to previous years. Finally, improved team organization and a significant increase in team performance at competition was achieved by all teams who had students participating in the course, demonstrating the course’s success.
PREPARING STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF A UNIFIED CURRICULUM DESIGN SPINE
Authors: Carrick Roger , Czekanski Alex
Published: August 2018

Abstract - Preparing students for the technical aspects of engineering practice has not been difficult, as the teaching strategies and learning outcomes are well developed. The teaching of so-called "soft-skills" such as communication, teamwork, project management, and design, however, are more difficult and varied in their strategies.

In this paper, we examine the design curriculum as implemented by York University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and discuss the advantages of promoting soft-skills development through team design projects, and outline continuous improvement processes we undergo to ensure we are giving students the training they need to practice engineering. Finally, we discuss our planned studies that will track the effectiveness of the design spine as students enter the workforce.

Authors: Dick Brian , Nguyen Thai Son
Published: August 2018

Abstract – First-year engineering students at Vancouver Island University in Canada and second-year engineering students at Tra Vinh University in Vietnam have been brought together to work on a cooperative cornerstone design project as a means to introduce intercultural competencies early in the students' academic experience.  Student teams at each institution were partnered, whereby a design proposal developed by a team at one institution was constructed by their partner team at the other institution. Each team provided stakeholder input early in the design stage, and team pairs established a change management structure to respond to challenges occurring during the construction phase of the project.

We explore the challenges and successes of the students experience as they navigated the linguistic, cultural, technical, and geographic barriers towards successfully completing this major design project.

ABTRACT  - Preparing a literate public to critically evaluate issues related to climate change, energy and the environment is an important pillar towards more sustainable societies. The Summer Center for Climate, Energy, and Environmental Decision-Making (SUCCEED) is a K-12 Outreach program created by - University’s Department of Engineering and Public Policy (EPP). The program was originally proposed and created under the auspices of the Climate and Energy Decision Making Center (CEDM), a multi-institution collaborative agreement anchored at- University, and supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The program objectives are a) to improve scientific literacy by providing a free summer program focusing on climate, energy, and environmental decision-making for both students entering tenth grade, and K-12 teachers, b) encourage pursuit of STEM-related careers, and c) to help teachers prepare curriculum in this area to be used in class. SUCCEED consists of two programs: a five- day workshop with approximately twenty students entering 10th grade, and a two-day workshop with approximately ten math and science educators to improve teacher curriculum. SUCCEED has been held every summer from 2011 to 2016, and is planned to be held again in 2017. Through this submission, we plan to describe the general characteristics of SUCCEED, discuss program outcomes, and explore lessons learned.

CHARACTERIZING THE ENGINEERING EDUCATION GRADUATE STUDENT EXPERIENCE IN CANADA: DESCRIPTIVES
Authors: Sheridan Patricia , Seniuk Cicek Jillian , Kuley Liz , Paul Robyn Mae
Published: August 2018

Abstract – Four Canadian Engineering Education graduate students from the Universities of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Toronto, and Calgary are conducting a national mixed-methods research study to characterize the identity of graduate students studying engineering education in Canada. The first phase of this study comprised of the dissemination of a survey designed using McAlpine’s Identity-Trajectory framework to explore whom our engineering education graduate students are, how our graduate studies are manifest in this field, and how our academic identities are formed through the construction of our unique intellectual, institutional, and networking experiences. This paper presents select findings and descriptive analyses from these survey data. Findings show that participants in our study predominantly identify as female, come from engineering backgrounds, are over-stretched in terms of commitments, need better access to research funding and peer communities, actively present at conferences, and are sufficiently supported by their institutions and supervisors to feel that they can conduct quality research in engineering education. Noteworthy, is that the gender demographic in our study participants, which is predominantly female, is in contrast to the minority female demographic found in engineering graduate studies. Significantly, findings suggest that graduate students pursuing degrees in engineering education may be guided by a potentially unconscious positivistic approach to their research.
DESIGN DAYS BOOT CAMP: ENHANCING STUDENT MOTIVATION TO START THINKING IN ENGINEERING DESIGN TERMS IN THE FIRST YEAR
Authors: Ivkovic Igor , Willett Thomas L. , Borland Matthew J. , Gorbet Maud
Published: August 2018

Abstract – Engineering design is a core aspect of engineering education. Students might not appreciate the importance of engineering design early on, especially in the first term of their academic study. In this paper, we propose an approach for motivating students to think early about engineering design, namely at the start of their first academic term. The approach entails organizing an immersive design boot camp –“Design Days” – that replaces lectures for the first two days of the term. During the two days, students are divided into randomly assigned teams, and provided specifications to work on a design challenge. As part of the challenge, students are incentivized to fully understand the problem before attempting to solve it, instructed to follow a design process and apply iterative design, and asked to document their design and its rationale. The proposed method was successfully applied in Fall 2016. The approach will be applied again in Fall 2017 with minor modifications based on student feedback.

Abstract – Students entering undergraduate engineering programs lack the formative experiences of their precursors and are demanding more hands-on, practical, and engaging experiences as part of their education[1].  Starting in 2013, the University of Waterloo engaged in a pilot project to address these needs and to improve the student experience. This paper will discuss the challenges encountered in the establishment of the MME Clinic initiative, the implementation methods used to address these challenges, and lessons learned through the first four years of this project.
Outbreak of varicella in preschool children despite one-dose vaccination
Authors: Kurugöl Zafer , Gökçe Şule
Published: August 2018

In Turkey, a single-dose varicella vaccine was introduced into the National Immunization Program in 2013. Before this implementation, varicella vaccine had been available in the private sector since 2000. However, varicella outbreaks continued to occur in preschools and elementary schools. We investigated a varicella outbreak to estimate the effectiveness of 1-dose varicella vaccine and to evaluate potential risk factors for breakthrough disease. This study was carried out during a varicella outbreak in 3 preschools in İzmir, Turkey, in April 2016. Using questionnaires, data including children`s medical and vaccination histories were collected from their parents. Attack rates in vaccinated and unvaccinated children were calculated and the analyses of vaccine effectiveness and of risk factors for breakthrough disease were conducted. A total of 124 children were enrolled in the study. Of the 124 children, 77 (62%) had received 1-dose varicella vaccine before the outbreak. Varicella developed in 34 of 124 children during the outbreak, and 18 of them (53%) had breakthrough varicella. The attack rate was 23.4% among vaccinated children and 34% among unvaccinated children. The effectiveness of single-dose varicella vaccine was 33.6% against varicella disease of any severity and 82.5% against moderate or severe varicella. Children vaccinated 5 or more years before the outbreak had 3.5 times the risk of disease than those who had been vaccinated more recently (OR 3.5 [95% CI, 1.08-11.5]); p= 0.046). Age at vaccination ( < 15 months vs.≥15 months) and the brands of varicella vaccine were not associated with the increased risk of breakthrough varicella. Our study suggests that one-dose of varicella vaccine is not sufficient to prevent school outbreaks. A 2-dose varicella vaccination program may help to prevent varicella outbreaks and achieve effective control of the disease.

Published: August 2018

We report on a case with developmental delay and dysmorphic craniofacial features, and a novel~15.2 Mb interstitial deletion within 9q21.11q21.32 confirmed with array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). A twenty-two month old boy with inability to walk without support, absent speech, and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder was seen in our clinic. His craniofacial examination revealed relative macrocephaly, facial asymmetry, frontal bossing, sparse medial eyebrows, hypertelorism, broad base to nose, smooth philtrum, large mouth, operated cleft lip and wide spaced teeth. The high resolution binding (HRB) chromosome analysis revealed an interstitial deletion 46,XY,del(9)(q21) confirmed by aCGH revealing; 46,XY,der(9)(pter→q21.11::q21.32→qter).arr9q21.11q21.32(71,069,763-86,333,272)X1dn. Genotype-phenotype correlations of sixteen cases with 9q21 deletion having different breakpoints and variable length revealed common characteristic features including severe developmental delay, epilepsy, neuro-behavioural disorders and facial dysmorphism including hypertelorism, smooth philtrum and thin upper lip. The smallest overlapping deleted region in all defined cases to date including our case comprised four genes. Among these deleted genes as in our case, especially RORB is considered to be a strong candidate for neurological phenotype.
Evaporation flow assessment from petroleum product storage tanks exposed to fire conditions
Authors: Ginestet S. , Le Bot C.
Published: August 2018

Fire around storage tanks for petroleum products can have disastrous consequences for the environment and the population. These fires, due to accident or arson, are very well managed by security divisions but, nevertheless, involve the release of an amount of vapour from the petroleum present in the storage device. The exposure of a non-refrigerated aboveground liquid petroleum or petroleum product storage tank to fire can also lead to internal overpressure. PV-valves ensure that the normal and emergency venting requirements are satisfied, and determination of such requirements is key for the safety of petroleum tanks and should not be underestimated. This paper presents and discusses some methods that can be used to evaluate the vapour flow. In the aim of finding an exact answer rapidly, a thermal analytical approach is first investigated, which reveals the complexity of the solution. Thus, a numerical approach, based on finite-volume description, is used to set the first steps of the flow assessment. Based on a thermodynamic hypothesis, a simplified method is finally put forward for the evaluation of the amount of vapour released. The algorithm used to determine how temperature, pressure and flow evolve over time, which is very useful information for the safety of these devices, is then detailed and the results discussed.

Coastal and small islands are faced with various significant challenges. The trend shows that the region suffered largely from habitat destruction, changes on natural processes of ecosystems and
pollution. Coastal and small islands regions became increasingly complex as conflicts of interest occur, both within the community and at the government level. Thus, activities to be placed within this region should consider the compatibility between needs and the region’s ability in providing resources. This study aims to develop a management strategy for unpopulated islands in utilization of natural resources. The research was conducted through descriptive evaluative method, using spatial analysis to obtain suitability between the waters and the carrying capacity of the area using
ArcGIS 10.3. On the other hand, management strategies were formulated using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model. The ecological potentials of Nusa Manu and Nusa Leun Islands covers diving, snorkeling tours, mangrove tracking and beach tourism, grouper fish aquaculture within floating net
cages and fishing grounds. The potentials are suitable and can be utilized for various activities with priority on conservation-based marine ecotourism. This management strategy sides with the people, opens employment opportunities and able to encourage economic growth while maintaining the sustainability aspects of natural resources.
Menuju Urbanisasi Pulau Kecil: Produksi Ruang Abstrak dan Perampasan

Published: August 2018

Agrarian conflict in Pari Island of Seribu Islands, Jakarta has been undergoing for more than twenty years. The conflict involves main parties, in which the locals are diametrically opposed to local government-backed tourist corporations. This inductive qualitative study explores the historical information of the conflict and constructs a theoretical proposition at the mezzo level concerning the cause of this conflict by using an analytical tool from Lefebvre's concept of "production of space" and "accumulation by dispossession" by Harvey. The purpose of this study is to obtain a theoretical explanation at the intermediate level on the relation between abstract space production, dispossession and rural urbanization in favor of the tourism industry. The result shows, the production of abstract spaces, dispossession and urbanization located in a linear path for the production of capital space that turn social space into a space of capital accumulation, transforms agrarian resources into commodities and creates landless free labor for the future modern tourist industry. This study also shows that imbalanced contestation of spatial conflicts in Pari Island potentially marginalize local communities, furthermore, converting insular space into exclusively private-based industries is inappropriate because corporation has geographically expansive tendencies. Thus, policy makers are advised to support the life of differential spaces so that the diversity and particularity that exist in Pari Island can live together. It is this action that will overcome the damage caused by the production of abstract spaces and dispossession in the past and become the solution to the agrarian conflict in Pari Island.

Published: August 2018

Novas funcionalidades para dispositivos móveis surgem constantemente, permitindo a execução de uma infinidade de atividades. Neste contexto, criou-se uma nova modalidade de ensino: a aprendizagem móvel. Na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT), especificamente, o seu uso pode colaborar para a formação integral do aluno, apresentando potencial para disseminar cultura, educação e preparar para o trabalho. O objetivo desta pesquisa é verificar se os professores da EPT utilizam (e de que forma) a aprendizagem móvel. Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria dos docentes usa tecnologias móveis para fins educacionais, por iniciativa própria, dentro e fora do horário escolar. Algumas dificuldades foram apresentadas, como acesso à internet e falta de capacitação. Concluiu-se que gradual e informalmente, a aprendizagem móvel está sendo inserida no contexto da EPT. Para melhores resultados, é necessário que a gestão educacional compreenda a aprendizagem móvel como ferramenta estratégica no ensino-aprendizagem, fornecendo infraestrutura adequada e capacitando docentes e discentes.

More than skills: What can approaches to Digital Literacies learn from Academic Literacies?
Authors: Walker Stephen , Patel Alexandra J. F.
Published: August 2018

Defining digital literacies is challenging because ‘literacies’ has been used in different ways, shifting from its association with the critical engagement with texts to encompass broader definitions relating to skills-based agendas (Lea, 2011). Support for the development of digital literacies in citizens, students and lecturers has over the last decade become a popular debate, with hundreds of digital literacy frameworks developing (for review see All Aboard!, 2015; and Hoechsmann, 2015). Yet, treatment of digital literacies as transferable, discrete sets of skills may not do justice to anyone. The academic literacies approach has developed from similar challenges around teaching text based skills (Lea and Street, 1998; Lea and Street, 2006; Lillis, 2006). Their consideration of the nuanced and complex practices around texts offers a sociological insight into the development of digital literacies. In this article, we contrast an academic literacies approach with JISC’s current thinking around digital capabilities, followed by a discussion of the parallels between Lea and Street’s (1998, 2006) academic literacies model and Bennett’s Digital Practitioner Framework (Bennett, 2014; Sharpe, 2010).
Bedouin Settlement in Late Ottoman and British Mandatory Palestine: Influence on the Cultural and Environmental Landscape, 1870-1948
Authors: Frantzman Seth J. , Kark Ruth
Published: August 2018

During the late Ottoman and British Mandatory periods the cultural and environmental landscape of Palestine changed dramatically. This was reflected in both urban development and rural settlement patterns. In the last decades of Ottoman rule much of the newly settled rural low country of Palestine, including the coastal plain and Jordan valley, was strongly influenced by Bedouin tribes, who were living in various states of mobile pastoralism. By the end of the British Mandate the majority of the Bedouin, with the exception of those living in the Negev in Southern Palestine, had become sedentary in one form or another. The Bedouin actively built about 60 new villages and dispersed settlements, comprising several thousand houses. The Mandate authorities estimated the population of these Bedouin villages to be 27,500 in 1945. Our paper examines who the inhabitants of these Bedouin villages were, tracing them from their nomadic and pastoral origins in the late Ottoman period to their final sedentarization under the British Mandate. We examine how Mandatory land policies and Jewish land purchases created legal and demographic pressures for sedentarization. In shedding light on these intertwined topics we illustrate the increasingly limited role the Bedouin played in the rural landscape due to constraints placed upon them and show how, as a result, their settlement was part of a change in the environment in the period.
The Iranian Electric Power Industry after the Islamic Revolution: Nuclear Developments and Current Conditions
Authors: Volkov Denis
Published: August 2018

Iran’s nuclear activities are prominent in today’s media reports. But few reports focus on the relationship between nuclear power and Iran’s energy needs. The Iranian government claims that nuclear technologies are vital for the national electric power industry and therefore for the country’s economy as a whole. It is common knowledge that the electric power industry is one of the main pillars of every country’s economy, directly influencing both state viability and national security. A state’s ability to provide and maintain the necessary amount of electricity production is vitally important. So, does Iran really, to such an extent, need nuclear power? My research shows that at the moment, and in the next ten years at least, the production of electricity using nuclear energy will secure an insignificant place in the energy basket of Iran.
The Impact of ‘Biblical Orientalism’ in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century Palestine
Authors: Kamel Lorenzo
Published: August 2018

‘Biblical Orientalism’ can be defined as a phenomenon based on the combination of a selective use of religion and a simplifying way to approach its natural habitat: the ‘Holy Land’. Between the 1830s and the beginning of the 20th century this attitude triggered a flood of mainly British books, private diaries and maps. Over time this enormous production, accompanied by a wide range of phenomena such as evangelical tourism, did instill the idea of a ‘meta-Palestine’, an imaginary place devoid of any history except that of Biblical magnificence. This has had various relevant consequences. The present article aims to deconstruct this perception by observing the process through which a local complex reality has been simplified and denied in its continuity.
After ‘Security First’: An Analysis of Security Transition and ‘Statebuilding’ in the West Bank 2007-11
Authors: Leech Philip
Published: August 2018

The Palestinian Authority’s (PA) imposition of order after the end of the al-Aqsa Intifada has been generally interpreted as a success. Not only did the PA consolidate its power in the West Bank and restore good relations with Israel and the West, it also appeared to obtain popular legitimacy by cracking down on its political opponents. This paper discusses the impact of the PA’s imposition of order in Nablus, a town which had endured lawlessness and disorder under an Israeli siege (2001-7) and had been the focus of the PA’s security agenda. It argues that, though the PA’s security agenda initially enjoyed popular consent, this does not demonstrate public endorsement of the PA’s legitimacy. Rather the consent that such measures produced was superficial and, in the long term, the acceleration of the PA’s shift towards authoritarianism is likely to be profoundly debilitating for Palestinian society in general.
Introduction: Shariʿa in Revolution? A Comparative Overview of Pre- and Post- Revolutionary Developments in Shariʿa-Based Family Law Legislation in Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, and Tunisia
Authors: Sonneveld Nadia
Published: August 2018

In 2011, the world witnessed how massive civil resistance by men andwomen alike led to the forced departure of long-serving authoritarian leaders in the Arabworld. In the present transitional period in which constitutions have been suspended and newdefinitions of citizenship are being debated, women’s rights and family law have neverthelessemerged as contentious areas in the Arab World. These have been portrayed as symbols ofthe old regime and as deviating from the principles of shariʿa. Calls to amend women’srights abound. By comparing both pre- and post-revolutionary family law developments infour Muslim-majority countries, this special series of articles explores the implications ofthese controversies on the rights of men and women in the political transition processes ofEgypt, Indonesia, Iran, and Tunisia.
