Se describe una metodología eficiente y sencilla para la hidrólisis de ésteres y monohidrólisis de malonatos de dialquilo con el uso de t-BuNH2/MeOH/H2O con y sin LiBr. El método es de aplicación general debido a que los ésteres de Me, Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, Bn y alilo se hidrolizan adecuadamente para dar los ácidos carboxílicos correspondientes en excelentes rendimientos. El alcance del procedimiento se exploró para la desprotección de monoésteres alifáticos, aromáticos e insaturados, así como de malonatos de dialquilo. Las reacciones son, en general, muy limpias, dan rendimientos altos y no se obtienen subproductos. La selectividad del método se demostró mediante la hidrólisis de ésteres en presencia de un grupo protector N-Boc.
A STUDY ON CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS AT SIVAKASI
Authors: Kalaivani
Published: January 2021

Corporal punishment has been classified as an act of violence and abuse on children. Strictly defined ‘corporal punishment’ is the infliction of pain intended to change a person’s behaviour or to punish them. Though it mainly refers to physical pain either through hitting or forcing the child to sit /stand in uncomfortable positions; an evolving definition also includes within its ambit wrongful confinement, verbal insults, threats and humiliation, which are used with impunity and in utter disregard to the law of land and principles of learning. Children due to fear are often silent and submit to violence without questioning. They sometimes show signs of deep hurt in their behavior but this often goes unnoticed, perpetuating further violence on them. Corporal punishment not only affects the emotional behaviour and academic performance of a child, but also leads to reduction in self-esteem and dignity of child.

Published: January 2021

South Sumatera Province experienced the worst peat fires in 2015, where the larger area is located in Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI) District. Human activity is a very important factor in causing forest and peatland fires,because in fact nearly almost 100 % of forest and land fires are caused by human. One of the purposes of this paper is to study the human activities that could trigger forest and peatland fires in OKI District. The results of this study are expected to produce information about the causes of fires and provide a scientific based information for policymakers to prevent forest and peatland fires in OKI District. This research was conducted in six villages in three sub-districts, Perigi and Riding Village in Pangkalan Lampam Sub-District; Ulak Depati and Jungkal Village in Pampangan Sub-District; and Pulu Beruang and Ujung Tanjung Village in Tulung Selapan Sub-District. This research method is field observations, interviews, and analyzing Terra/Aqua MODIS satellite imagery data to get the burned area. Based on the interview,it had been found that the main behavior of the community triggers peat fires is sonor, land preparation for plantation, and fishing. Terra/Aqua MODIS image analysis reveals that the area burned in 2015 and 2019, mostly occurred in swamp scrub and open land cover. The knowledge and perceptions of the people in OKI Regency on forest and peatland fire control are classified as moderate (56.7% - 83.3%). Community participation in outreach and training activities can increase people knowledge and perceptions on forest and peatland fire control. Public knowledge has an essential correlation with people's perceptions. Positive public perceptions on efforts to control fires will increase their participation. Community participation at the site level will determine the success of controlling forest and land fires.

Published: January 2021

Background: Oral cancer accounts for 30% of all types of cancer in India. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment but due to the recent outbreak of COVID-19, there is a partial or complete disruption of health services in the country. The initial delay in the treatment was due to cancellations of planned surgeries as per government regulations and reduction in public transportation. In the latter half of the initial relaxation of the lockdown, we formulated our institutional protocol for the surgical treatment of oral cancer patients. On admission, all patients were kept in isolated wards followed by RT-PCR (Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing on the same day. RT-PCR negative patients are subjected to HRCT Thorax (High-resolution Computer Tomography). This ensured the safety of health care workers, patients, and patient attendees. Keeping this in mind, we did an observational study on the role of HRCT in the pre-operative screening of asymptomatic oral cancer patients. Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of 150 patients was done. HRCT reporting was done by two experienced senior radiologists of the Department of Radiology at our hospital. Results: The number of patients under the CO-RADS 1 category was 121 and CO-RADS 2 category was 29, according to CO-RADS classification. The results of RT-PCR and HRCT were compared and there was a 100% positive correlation between RT-PCR and HRCT Thorax. Conclusion: Our study supported the use of HRCT Thorax as a diagnostic tool in pre-operative screening of oral cancer patients for COVID 19, particularly in RT-PCR negative cases.
Wealth and wealth inequality in adult HIV prevalence
Authors: Gaumer Gary , Sherafat-Kazemzadeh Roya , Jordan Monica , Nandakumar AK
Published: January 2021

Background

Studies investigating a correlation between economic status of household (wealth or income) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence have shown relationships ranging from insignificant to strong-positive. Using data from over 400,000 Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) respondents in 29 African low- and middle-income countries receiving assistance from the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), this study was conducted on HIV prevalence as it relates to wealth and wealth inequality.

Methods

Individual-level Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data was obtained for 2010-2016 from 29 PEPFAR recipient countries through the DHS data portal. These data link survey responses with the HIV test results from biomarker data. To adjust for sample selection bias in the observational data, an inverse probability reweighting (IPW) technique was used to create sample weights and estimate model parameters.

Results

After reweighting, the wealth effects on prevalence are smaller, often statistically insignificant or inconsistent, indicating that higher levels of wealth are not associated with higher HIV prevalence. Low wealth (being poor) is associated with a higher risk for some segments of the population. The growing interest in the literature of “wealth” as a driver of the maturing HIV epidemic may be an artifact of the longer survival of wealthy people in the DHS observational data. The extent of wealth inequality in the region of residence is consistently a positive driver of higher prevalence. In all three wealth categories (tertiles of high, medium, low), more wealth inequality in a region is consistently associated with a higher HIV prevalence, other things remaining the same.

Conclusions

The findings of the study suggest that supply-oriented policies (e.g. distribution of providers and programs) to integrate PEPFAR activities into country health systems targeted to areas where wealth inequality is high and where pockets of low-wealth populations are found would have the greatest impact.

The current study was carried out to investigate the immunological and hematological changes due to local transplantation of human umbilical cord-mesenchymal-stem cells (HUC-MSCs) and scaffold-stem cells (SSCs) into the injured radial nerve. Therefore, three equal groups of dogs were subjected to this study; experimental (EG), positive control (PCG) and negative control (NCG). At 1st week, dogs of EG were showed an obvious mobility dysfunction. At 2nd and 4th weeks, there were apparent improvements reported on general and physical activities as well as functional ability of forelimb with the presence of slight lameness that was cured completely at 5th week. Regarding to immunobiomarkers, insignificant differences were showed at 1st week. However, significantly increase in IgG and TNF-α, and decrease in IL-10 was reported at 2nd, 4th, and 6th weeks. Regarding to hematologic parameters, significantly increases were recorded in total WBCs from 2nd week onwards, lymphocytes and neutrophils at 2nd week, monocytes at the 2nd and 4th weeks, and total RBCs at the 8th and 16th weeks. Significant differences were not reported in values of PCV and Hb throughout this study. In conclusion, HUC-MSCs and SSCs confirmed high activities in supporting of immunological and hematological responses, and in restoration of nerve function
Intestinal Anti-Inflammatory Improvement with Fenugreek Seeds as A prebiotic and Synbiotic with Lactobacillus acidophilus in Rats Experimentally Infected with Escherichia coli
Authors: Bakheet N. Z. , A.J Al-Qayim M. , B. Falih I.
Published: January 2021

Synergistic action of probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotic) has been suggested to be more effective than the two separate components in the prevention and treatment of many intestinal and immune diseases. The present study aimed to examine the anti-inflammatory role of Fenugreek as synbiotic with Lactobacillus acidophilus against Escherichia coli. Twenty four adult males of Wister rats aged 3-4 months and weighted 200-250 gm were used and divided into 4 groups: 1st and 2nd groups were negative and positive control (C and C++) fed with basal diet, the 3rd group (T1) fed diet with Fenugreek seeds (5%) and the 4th group (T2) fed with the synbiotic Fenugreek seeds (5%) and L. acidophilus (5 × 108 CFU/ml) for 45 days. After that, rats in the C++, T1, and T2 had induced enteritis by administrating 1 ml (2.5 × 106 cfu/ml) of enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC O125:H6). The preventive role of prebiotic and synbiotic was evaluated depending on macro and microscopic duodenum pathological changes in correlation with butyric acid production for 7 days of infection. The results of the macro and microscopic scoring of enteritis revealed that the synergistic effects of the synbiotic in preventing E. coli enteritis was favored by an increase in goblet cells mucin secretion. This anti-inflammatory role was significantly increased by synbiotic and correlated with the production of butyric acid. The synbiotic improved the anti-inflammatory response of intestinal mucosa adaptive immunity via elevation of the immunoglobulin IgA from plasma cells. In conclusion, the inclusion of nutritional supplements containing fibers that constitute a source of butyric acid production, such as Fenugreek seeds, would improve intestinal resistance to inflammation by acting as anti-inflammatory through improving intestinal lymphoid tissues and increasing the production of IgA

Mosquitoes are vectors of various life-threatening diseases like malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever etc. Their close proximity to human habitations allows ease for disease transmission. They have been identified by key morphological tools like their wings, legs, bristles etc. but closely related species are difficult to identify based on morphology. Molecular tools have, therefore, been employed to help with the more accurate identification. This study was aimed at identifying and characterizing different mosquito species in five different states in North-Central Nigeria using internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and mitochondrial 16S rDNA regions. Mosquito larvae were collected from stagnant water in breeding places at each collection site in North-central Nigeria. Morphological identification was carried out using standard keys. DNA extraction was performed using EZNA extraction kit. PCR amplification of ribosomal ITS2 and mitochondrial 16S-rDNA gene regions were carried out. The PCR amplicons were sequenced using primers initially used for the PCR. Sequence data were aligned in MEGA 6.0 using ClustalW multiple alignment feature and then compared with GenBank databases for similarity.  Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from the ITS2 region was able to distinguish two mosquito subfamilies; Anophelinae and Culicinae as well as differentiate between and amongst Culex and Aedes species. However, it was unable to effectively distinguish between the two different species of Anopheles sequenced. Mitochondrial 16S rRNA marker was also able to distinguish the two mosquito subfamilies. It efficiently identified and differentiated Culex, Aedes and Anopheles mosquito species sequenced in this study. This study concludes that heterogeneity among Nigerian populations of Anopheles mosquitoes of may likely impact malaria vector control programs. We recommend the combination of nuclear and mitochondrial markers for effective and reliable phylogenetic study and determination of evolutionary relationship among mosquito species.

Authors: Nasution Akmal , Kamil Siregar Iqbal
Published: January 2021

Perkembangan teknologi yang pesat mulai mempengaruhi kebiasaan para pelaku bisnis, baik itu produsen maupun distributor. Bagi produsen informasi stok barang mentah menjadi hal

 yang sangat penting, karena dapat berpengaruh terhadap kelangsungan produksi. Produsen mebel misalnya, saat barang mentah seperti kayu habis atau out of stocks menyebabkan terhentinya proses produksi, sehingga berimbas ke hasil penjualan barang yang akan berkurang. Hal ini lah yang dialami oleh PT Mebel Kisaran. Meskipun sudah dipantau dengan baik, namun dalam satu tahun perusahaan tersebut rata-rata mengalami out of stock terhadap barang mentah sebanyak 9 kali. Saat menghadapi masalah tersebut rata-rata proses produksi harus terhenti selama 2 hari sampai barang mentah yang dibutuhkan tersedia kembali. Jadi dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa dalam 1 tahun perusahaan rata-rata akan menghentikan produksinya selama 18 hari diluar jadwal kerja yang seharusnya. Hal ini tentunya akan mempengaruhi produktivitas dan penghasilan perusahaan. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut pimpinan perusahaan melakukan investasi IT dengan pembuatan aplikasi yang mampu memonitoring dan memberikan informasi secara realtime mengenai stok barang mentah jika sudah menipis, tentunya dengan memnfaatkan teknologi push notifikasi. Untuk itu, diperlukan sebuah aplikasi mobile untuk digunakan sebagai media penyampaian informasi tersebut. Sebagai contoh dapat memberikan notifikasi jika ada stok barang mentah yang menipis, sehingga dapat diambil tindakan antisipasi sebelum barang tersebut benar-benar habis. Teknologi push notifikasi yang digunakan memanfaatkan firebase sebagai media penyampaian pesan berupa stock terkini ke pengguna. Sehingga pengguna akan selalu update mengenai stock barang yang dimilikinya

Published: January 2021

Air merupakan unsur penting yang dibutuhkan dalam budidaya tanaman cabai di Desa Langsat Permai. Selama ini, petani Desa Langsat  Permai memanfaatkan air kanal yang berada di sekitar lahan untuk usaha budidaya cabai maupun tanaman lainnya. Akan tetapi, petani sulit mendapatkan air apabila terjadi musim kemarau sehingga menghambat usaha budidaya tanaman yang mereka lakukan. Berangkat dari permasalahan tersebut, kegiatan Iptek bagi Desa Mitra (IbDM) melakukan pembangunan canal blocking yang bertujuan untuk mengelola ketersediaan air khususnya pada musim kemarau. Pembangunan canal blocking tersebut sangat memberikan manfaat pada peningkatan hasil produksi cabai dimana tahun 2018 produksi cabai sebesar 14-15 ton/Ha dibandingkan pada tahun 2017 hanya berkisar 10-11 ton/Ha. Tidak hanya produksi cabai yang meningkat, pembangunan canal blocking ini juga memberikan dampak kepada meluasnya lahan sawit yang dikonversi menjadi lahan budidaya tanaman pangan maupun hortikultura. Terlihat dari jumlah lahan sawit yang dikonversi menjadi lahan pertanian tanaman pangan dan hortikultura sebesar 26 Ha pada tahun 2018. Hal ini sangat mendukung program Pemerintah Kabupaten Siak dimana pemerintah mendorong kegiatan pertanian baik pangan maupun hortikultura dibandingkan perkebunan sawit. Oleh karena itu, Pemerintah Kabupaten Siak dalam hal ini Bupati dan Kepala Dinas terkait melakukan kegiatan panen raya pada tahun 2018. Kegiatan ini sangat menguntungkan petani karena mereka dapat mengajukan beberapa sarana dan prasarana guna meningkatkan budidaya tanaman khususnya cabai. Pemerintah Kabupaten Siak juga mendorong Desa Langsat Permai menjadi salah satu daerah agrowisata berbasis tanaman cabai yang menampilkan budidaya cabai sampai penanganan pascapanen cabai.

This article studies how two peripheral Nordic regions (Jämtland, Sweden and Kainuu,  Finland) have coped with demographic, economic, and sustainability challenges during 2010s. Hard hit by depopulation and globalization, they have implemented many measures to increase vitality, diversification, and sustainability of their economies. The process, the outcome, and local actors’ views have been analysed by utilising perspectives from regional development, smart shrinking, and sustainability transitions literatures. Research results show that Jämtland and Kainuu have succeeded in diversifying their economy, better their employment, and take steps towards sustainability by relying on place-specific resources and on collaboration with external actors. They still have challenges, especially related to demography and regional imbalance, but also potential for a stronger role in achieving national goals for a sustainable, carbon neutral society. Based on these findings, some conclusions concerning the future of these and similar regions and the design of national policies affecting them can be reached.

The objective of monetary policy is to achieve and maintain the stability of the rupiah value. This objective is as stated in Law no. 23 of 1999 concerning Bank Indonesia, as amended by Law no. 3 of 2004 and Law no. 6 of 2009 in article 7. The purpose of this journal is to know monetary policy from an Islamic perspective. This is interesting to discuss because there are fundamental differences between modern monetary policy and monetary policy in an Islamic economic perspective
Simulation results on the performance of statistical methods in cumulative meta analysis
Authors: Kulinskaya Elena , Mah Eung Yaw
Published: January 2021

Cumulative meta-analysis (CMA) is a process of updating the results of existing meta-analysis to incorporate new study results. This is a popular way to present time-varying evidence. We investigate the properties of CMA, suggest possible improvements and provide the first in-depth simulation study of the use of CMA and CUSUM methods for detection of temporal trends in random-effects meta-analysis. We use the standardized mean difference (SMD) as an effect measure of interest. For CMA, we compare the standard inverse-variance-weighted estimation of the overall effect using REML-estimated between-study variance $\tau^2$ with the sample-size-weighted estimation of the effect combined with Kulinskaya-Dollinger-Bjørkestøl (2011) (KDB) estimation of $\tau^2$. For all methods, we consider type 1 error under no shift and power under shift in the mean. To ameliorate the lack of power in CMA, we introduce the two-stage CMA, where the heterogeneity variance $\tau^2$ is estimated at stage 1 (first 5-10 studies), and the further CMA monitors a target value of effect, keeping the $\tau^2$ value fixed. We recommend the use of this two-stage CMA combined with cumulative testing for positive shift in $\tau^2$.
Are There Ideological Asymmetries in Intergroup Bias? A Minimal Groups Approach
Authors: Ruisch Benjamin , Anderson Rajen Alexander , Krosch Amy Rose
Published: January 2021

The divide between political liberals and conservatives is rapidly growing. Several influential theories contend that this divide hinges on orientations towards social groups, such that conservatives (versus liberals) show a greater tendency to favor their “ingroups” and discriminate against “outgroups.” However, other theories contend that liberals and conservatives do not differ in their degree of intergroup bias. Both perspectives have received empirical support, and the debate has reached a standstill. We argue that this theoretical and empirical stalemate stems from inherent limitations of examining attitudes towards real-world social groups—a strategy used by both sides of the debate. Drawing on social identity theory, we propose an alternative approach—using “minimal groups” (i.e., experimentally constructed groups)—to determine whether and why ideological differences in intergroup bias may exist. Finding support for either account will help resolve this longstanding debate and deepen our understanding of the psychological underpinnings of political ideology.

Objective: Evidence shows that reports of psychopathology symptoms from informants and youth differ. Such discrepancies are dependent on informant type and psychopathology characteristics but may also be related to sociodemographic and cultural factors. This study quantified youth-collateral discrepancies in symptoms and assessed the network structure of these discrepancies across psychopathology domains.Method: The sample (N = 5094) was extracted from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort, a racially and socioeconomically diverse community-based sample of youth in the United States and consisted of participants ages 11-17 years old with both youth and collateral reports on psychopathology symptoms. We examined youth-collateral discrepancies and conducted network analysis to examine discrepancy patterns across the spectrum of psychopathology domains. In a novel approach, networks were constructed using youth-collateral difference scores to identify discrepancy patterns accounting for the effects of youth and collateral factors.Results: Across all domains, agreement ranged from just slight to fair. Psychosis symptoms had the lowest Cohen’s kappas with a range from 0.03 to 0.17. Absolute difference scores were greater than average for Black youth and for youth of low socioeconomic status. Difference score networks compared across race, socio-economic strata, sex and age-groups were not statistically significant. Difference scores were higher than average for all psychiatric disorder groups with the largest difference and the sparsest network structure for psychosis spectrum.Conclusion: Consideration of race and socioeconomic status is important when psychopathology symptom reports are obtained from youth and collaterals. Across major disorder groups, psychosis spectrum appear to have a distinct network structure of youth-collateral discrepancies. Such discrepancies could potentially be leveraged for early identification.
Kroppsmedvetande efter deltagande i Hästunderstödda insatser, erfarenheter hos kvinnor med ätstörning
Authors: Östgaard Louise
Published: January 2021

Bakgrund Ätstörningar drabbar unga människor på väg in i vuxenlivet. Det är ett betydande folkhälsoproblem som innebär stora risker för allvarliga medicinska konsekvenser. Personer med ätstörningsdiagnos beskrivs i litteraturen som en patientgrupp med svårighet att relatera till den egna kroppen. Kroppsmedvetenhet är en komplex föreställning i samspelet mellan kropp och själ, och anses av flera forskare vara grunden till självmedvetenhet. Hästunderstödda insatser, HUI, stimulerar till att stärka kommunikation inom individen själv, mellan människan och hästen samt mellan människor. Det vetenskapliga underlaget för implementering av HUI i vården inom psykisk hälsa är otillräckligt. Syftet med studien var att undersöka och beskriva hur kvinnor med ätstörning uppfattar HUI och om, i så fall hur, behandlingen påverkar deras kroppsmedvetenhet. Metod Sex kvinnor med ätstörningsdiagnos intervjuades efter att de genomgått ett projekt med HUI. Intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat Fyra subteman och ett övergripande tema kunde urskiljas. Kvinnor med ätstörning upplevde att samvaro med hästen medvetandegjorde kroppens signaler, kroppens resurser, autentiska behov och sociala relationer. Det tema som fanns som en röd tråd i deltagarnas berättelser var att samvaron med hästen bjöd in till ett rum där man vågade utforska sig själv. Slutsats För kvinnor med ätstörning kunde samvaron med hästen skapa ett unikt utrymme där det var viktigt att närvara i kroppen, där sociala interaktioner blev begripliga och möjlighet gavs att utforska de känslor som uppstod. Detta upplevdes stärkande, gav mening och ökade självtilliten. Författaren menar således att hästen, för patientgruppen, kan vara en unik partner för att nå terapeutiska mål.NyckelordFysioterapi, interoception, kvalitativ innehållsanalys, psykiatri.
Studying the Effect of Seed-layers of Zinc Oxide Nanostructured Thin Film for Liquefied Petroleum Gas Sensor Application
Authors: Gyanwali Gunanidhi
Published: January 2021

Gas sensors are devices that can convert the concentration of an analyte gas into an electronic signal. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the most important n-type metal oxide semiconductor which has been utilized as gas sensor for many years. In this work, ZnO nanostructured films were synthesized by a hydrothermal growth from ZnO seeds and used as a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensor. At first ZnO seed layers were deposited on glass substrates by using spin coating method, then ZnO nanostructured were grown on these substrates by using hydrothermal growth method. The effect of seed layers of ZnO nanostructured on its structural, optical, and electrical properties was studied. These nanostructures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy, and sheet resistance measurement unit. The sensing performances of the synthetic ZnO nanostructures were investigated for LPG. XRD showed that all the ZnO nanostructures were hexagonal crystal structure. ZnO nanostructured thin film showed high sensitivity towards LPG gas. The sensitivity of the film is observed to increase with increase in number of seed layers. The sensitivity of the film was investigated by measured change in sheet resistance under with LPG gas.
Modernisation Trends in Public Administration in Slovenia
Authors: Kukovič Simona , Justinek Gorazd
Published: January 2021

The theory of public administration offers a wide range of paradigms or approaches that are developed as a consequence of various triggers from internal and external environment. The classical model of bureaucratic organization as outlined by Weber is no longer appropriate in modern countries, although it still remains the basis of public administration because of numerous transformations and upgrades. The first major reforms were introduced to public administration via the more modern and market-oriented New Public Management. However, Post-New Public Management approaches have recently developed as a reflection of social and political changes. In this paper, we offer an overview of modern approaches, which do not appear in pure form, but in the form of hybrids. There is no consensus, either in science or in practice, on the optimal direction of public administration development or on the preferential approach. This decision is left to the governments, bearing in mind that each public administration reform and hybridization of approaches affect the complexity of public administration. Analysing the reform of the Slovenian public administration, we have found that the current Strategy of Public Administration Development for 2015-2020 is based on modern elements and values of Post-New Public Management approaches and that reforms strive for modernization, but (as shown by the current crisis) a serious effort will be required in the future to achieve this goal.
Authoritarian Dimension of Judicial Ideology of the Slovenian Constitutional Court
Authors: Letnar Černič Jernej
Published: January 2021

After the democratization and independence of Slovenia, the Constitutional Court has generated the paradigm reform in the Slovenian constitutional system by protecting individual rights against the heritage of the former system. The constitutional judges are not blank slates, but individuals embedded in their private and professional environments. In the past three decades, the Court has delivered several seminal decisions concerning the protection of the rule of law, human rights, and constitutional democracy. What motivates constitutional judges to protect individual rights in some cases and show preference for the preservation of authority and stability of the existing legal system in others? The article is based on the empirical research measuring the presence of judicial ideology at the Constitutional Court of Slovenia in three mandates (1993–1997, 2002–2006, 2011–2016). The methodological and theoretical model aims to measure economic, social, and authoritarian dimensions of judicial ideology (three-fold judicial ideology model). The research group has analysed the decisions and separate opinions of the Constitutional Court from selected periods based on hypotheses provided by the model. This article intends to present and analyse the research results concerning the authoritarian dimension of judicial ideology. More specifically, it examines the level of authoritarianism of the Slovenian Constitutional Court in its judicial decision-making during the three mentioned mandates. Through the obtained empirical results, the paper seeks to strengthen fair, impartial, and independent functioning of the Slovenian Constitutional Court and its respective judges.
Extended versus point light source: where does the difference in the illuminance exist?
Authors: Ivchenko V.
Published: January 2021

In this paper we derive and analyse the expressions to find the illuminance from luminous ball, disc and line in the case of general position of the light receiver. We show that one can always replace a luminous ball with a point light source located at its center and having the appropriate luminous intensity. Any luminous disc or line can be considered, with reasonable accuracy (the relative error in the determination of the illuminance is less than $5 \%$), as the point light source with anisotropic (cosine) luminous intensity and placed at their center, if the distance to the observation point is approximately four times larger than their characteristic sizes. The issues outlined in this article will be useful for undergraduate students, who study the basics of photometry.
On Teaching Kim’s Convenience: Asian American Studies, Asian Canadian Studies, and the Politics of Race in Asian Canadian Theatre and Performance Studies
Authors: Daniher Colleen Kim
Published: January 2021

This article offers a critical overview and rationale for why and to what ends Daniher put a comparative Asian North American method into practice in her classroom on Asian American Theatre and Performance Studies at Brown University in Spring 2016. In particular, Daniher focuses on pairing Ins Choi’s play-text Kim’s Convenience (2011) alongside a viewing of the made-for-PBS broadcast of Anna Deavere Smith’s Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 (2001) in order to broach the topic of anti-Black racism in both Canada and the US in the Black Lives Matter moment. Although Daniher describes here a course and learning experience from within a US-American institutional setting, she directs the following emergent queries to the field of Canadian Theatre and Performance Studies in light of its recent inauguration of the new “sub-field” of Asian Canadian Theatre and Performance Studies: How should we frame Asian Canadian theatre and performance in the classroom? For what purpose and under what curricular conditions do we teach racialized “minority” repertoires of theatre and performance in Canada? Drawing on overlapping genealogies of Asian American and Asian Canadian Studies, Daniher contends that a more rigorous engagement with existing theories, methods, and critical analyses of racial power is urgently needed if Asian Canadian Theatre Studies hopes to coincide with the larger political-ethical stakes of “Asian Canadian studies projects” writ-large.

In April 2017 Modern Times Stage Company produced “Postmarginal: Cultural Diversity as Theatrical Practice,” consisting of a professional development workshop with actors and directors, and a public symposium, “Beyond Representation.” The titles, “Postmarginal” and “Beyond Representation,” were aspirational, intended to move beyond a current stasis in the practices and discourses of cultural diversity on Canadian stages. “Culturally diverse” was interpreted broadly, to include Indigenous and immigrant communities, communities of colour, audible minority communities, transgender and gender-fluid communities, and Deaf and disabled-identified communities.
