Public Administration Discourse As Play With A Purpose
Authors: Farmer David John 
Published: July 2017

P.A. discourse-conceptualized as a language game governed by rules-could be more productive if we were more conscious of the constraints imposed by our game's rules and if we were more open to the possibility of playing with our socially constructed rules. The paper presents an example of a more productive game, situated in the conceptual space between the postmodern and the modern. The play of irony, characteristic of postmodernity, is explicated in terms of Umberto Eco's, Jean-Francois Lyotard's and Richard Rorty's accounts. A practical P.A. implication lies in the writing and rewriting about institutional practices from decentered perspectives. The paper illustrates how, even in modernity, P.A. discourse has avoided opportunities for useful play that other disciplines have followed. The idea of P.A. discourse as a language game is discussed, and examples of rules used in P.A. theorizing and practice are offered. The paper suggests that modernist P.A. discourse has been modeled too much on the riddling genre understood as a paradigm of discovery. P.A. discourse, it is claimed, should embrace play.
Because Life Is Open Book: An Open Internet Family Medicine Clerkship Exam
Authors: Erlich Deborah 
Published: July 2017

Introduction: A core principle of family medicine is information mastery, or application of principles of evidence-based medicine in clinical practice. While information mastery teaching and assessment are beginning to permeate postgraduate family medicine training programs, and while exciting literature on new open resource assessment methods is emerging, there are no prior descriptions of examinations that specifically assess medical students’ information mastery competency.
Methods: To test information mastery competency, a novel final exam for the family medicine clerkship was developed, implemented, and evaluated. During the timed exam, the competency-based information mastery assessment (IMA) requires students to look up evidence-based information using web resources to answer case-based questions. Exam feasibility was tested with pilot examinees whose reactions were gauged. Student performance on the traditional closed book knowledge assessment (KA) was compared with performance on the open internet IMA. Exam performance was compared with preceptor ratings of students’ clinical performance. Low performers were further analyzed for preceptors’ ratings of specific student skills in information mastery and self-directed learning.
Results: An open internet IMA testing knowledge application and information mastery skills is not only feasible but can also be educational. Student performance scores on the open internet IMA do not differ from scores on the closed book KA. Students describe many positive features of this open internet IMA. Student performance on the competency-based IMA correlates with clinical ratings by preceptors and with preceptors’ judgment of information mastery skills.
Conclusions: A novel approach to assessment in family medicine clerkships may be used to assess student competency in information mastery. Further research is needed for enhanced exam validation.
Optimisation of a small non controlled wind energy conversion system for stand-alone applications
Authors: Miguel Lopez  , Philippe Dessante  , Dario Morales  , Jean-Claude Vannier  , Daniel Sadarnac  
Published: July 2017

This article proposes a method to optimize the design of a small fixed-voltage wind energy conversion system (WECS). The system is composed of commercially available elements which are: a small horizontal axe wind turbine, a one-stage gearbox, a permanent magnet synchronous generator, a diode bridge and a battery bank. As there are no controlled devices on the system, the design must be carefully done to find the configuration that maximizes both, the system utilization and the system’s output power. Using the mechanical and the electrical power equations, an optimization problem is proposed. This problem is aimed to find the optimal combination of the gearbox ratio and the battery voltage in order to extract the maximum amount of energy form the WECS. The mechanical power is modelled using a new proposed power coefficient function approximation. The constrained optimization problem is then solved by a MATHEMATICA© genetic algorithm based routine. Results are shown and discussed.

<p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Bantuan hukum adalah salah satu upaya mengisi hak asasi manusia terutama bagi lapisan termiskin masyarakat. Konstitusi menjamin hak setiap warga negara mendapat perlakuan yang sama di muka hukum, termasuk hak untuk mengakses keadilan melalui pemberian bantuan hukum. Orang kaya dan mempunyai kekuasaan, dengan mudah mengakses dan mendapatkan “keadilan”, melalui tangan-tangan advokat yang disewanya. Tidak demikian halnya kelompok masyarakat miskin, mereka tidak mempunyai kemampuan untuk memahami hukum dan tidak mampu untuk membayar advokat, hal demikian menyebabkan tidak ada perlakuan yang sama di muka hukum untuk mengakses keadilan.<strong></strong></p><p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong><br /> Legal aid is an effort to fulfill the human rights, especially of the poorest groups of the society. The Constitution guarantees the right of every citizen to equal treatment before the law, including the right to access justice through legal aid. The haves and those having power would easily access and obtain justice, through the hands of advocates employed. That is not the case with the poor who do not have sufficient knowledge of the law and can not afford to pay for lawyers. This situation creates an unequal treatment before the law to access justice.</p>
FILSAFAT HUKUM DALAM PUTUSAN PENGADILAN/HAKIM
Authors: Hutajulu Marihot Janpieter 
Published: July 2017

<p><strong>Abstrak</strong><br />Putusan pengadilan merupakan produk hukum yang dihasilkan oleh hakim berdasarkan suatu pertimbangan mendalam atas fakta-fakta hukum yang diajukan kepadanya untuk diputuskan berdasarkan hukum dan keadilan. Oleh karena itu, hakim dalam memutuskan perkara yang diperiksanya, selain harus mendasarkan diri kepada hukum positif, ia juga perlu menggali rasa keadilan yang berkembang di dalam masyarakat. Tulisan ini mencoba untuk menganalisis pengaruh filsafat hukum khususnya yang menyangkut masalah keadilan dalam putusan hakim. Hal ini disebabkan putusan hakim selalu dipandang sebagai sebuah upaya menghadirkan hukum yang kontekstual bagi para pencari keadilan. Hakim oleh karenanya harus dapat menemukan hukum yang bersandar kepada nilainilai yang hidup di dalam masyarakat, khususnya konteks sosial dari perkara sedang yang diperiksanya. Untuk menemukan hukum seperti itu, hakim harus berani keluar dari paradigma legal-positivistik dalam melakukan penafsiran hukum, terutama dalam isi pertimbangan hukum putusannya.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong><br />The court ruling is a legal product that is generated by a judge based on a deep consideration of the legal facts submitted to him/her to be decided based on law and justice. Therefore, in addition to relying on positive law, in deciding cases it is also necessary for the judge to discover the developing sense of justice in the society. This paper attempts to analyze the influence of the philosophy of law, especially concerning the issue of justice in the judge's decision. This is relevant due to the assumption that a judge's decision is an effort to bring the law in context for those seeking justice. The judge must therefore be able to find the law based on the living values of the society, especially in the light of the social context of the particular case being examined. To find such law, the judge had to venture out of the legal-positivistic paradigm on its interpretation of law, particularly in the content of the legal consideration of his/her ruling.</p>

Before the entry into force of UNCLOS 1982, the continental shelf area governed by Article 1 of the Convention IV Geneva Convention on Law of the Sea 1958, which was implemented by Law No. 1 of 1973. The setting through 1958 Geneva Convention on Law of the Sea benefit for the developed countries only that have the advance technology. To be able to realize the regulating of the use of the continental shelf that is equitable, it is necessary to rebuild or reconstruct the form of national law Act No. 1 In 1973 and international law in the form of the Geneva Convention on Law of the Sea 1958. Two things to note in this reconstruction is the reconstruction of value and the reconstruction of law or settings. Although UNCLOS 1982 has been in force, but the status of Indonesian Act No. 1 of 1973 still impose as the implementation of the Geneva Conventions Year 1958. Several agreements with neighboring countries are being held between the years 1969-19972, of course it is very detrimental to the Indonesia Government. Through reconstruction of national law, in this case the Law No. 1 of 1973, adjusted to international law, namely UNCLOS 1982 is expected that the regulating of the utilization of natural resources in the continental shelf of Republic Indonesia can provide a fair arrangement. It is necessary to remember that there is a difference in perception between the Law No. 1 of 1973 with the UNCLOS 1982 in the matter of setting the area of the continental shelf.

Authors: Odjadjare Emmanuel EO , Igbinosa Etinosa O. 
Published: July 2017

Introduction: The antibiogram of Vibrio species isolated from abattoir effluents in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria was investigated in lieu of their public health significance.
Methodology: Vibrio species were isolated and identified using standard microbiological and molecular techniques; while antibiogram of isolates was tested and interpreted according to the disc diffusion method described by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute.
Results: Forty eight (48) out of 150 presumptive isolates (32%) were confirmed to be Vibrio spp. by PCR; of this number (48), 23(47.9%) were V. cholerae, 11(22.9%) V. fluvialis, 8(16.7%) V. vulnificus and 6(12.5%) V. parahaemolyticus. The antibiogram reveals that Vibrio species were generally resistant to ampicillin (60-67%), trimethoprim (80-100%) and tetracycline (60-83%); whereas they were sensitive to ceftriaxone (86-100%), the aminoglycosides (67-100%), imipenem (86-100%), ofloxacin (83-100%) and chloramphenicol (67-100%). The isolates exhibited multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) with an average MAR index of 0.23.
Conclusion: The study demonstrated that abattoir effluents are important reservoirs for multidrug resistant Vibrio species that could be considerable contributors to the recurrent episodes of epidemic cholera and non-Vibrio cholerae infections in Nigeria.
Multi-Spectral Imaging of Circumscribed Choroidal Hemangioma Introduction
Authors: Gan Nicola Y. , Zimmer Cheryl , Lam Wai-Ching 
Published: July 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To illustrate the features of a circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) using Annidis RHA multi-spectral imaging (MSI) technology (Annidis Corporation, Ottawa, Canada). This novel imaging technique uses non-overlapping, narrow-band LED light sources ranging from 520 nm to 940 nm to create a monochromatic series of en face fundus images and oxy/deoxyhemoglobin contrasted maps of the retina and choroid.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Annidis RHA MSI images were taken of a 67-year-old Chinese male with CCH. These en face fundus images are presented alongside the traditional fundus photograph, optical coherence tomography, and fluorescein and indocyanine green angiograms.

RESULTS:
Multi-spectral en face images of the outer retina and choroid demonstrated a clearly delineated lesion with a disorganized choroidal vascular network and increased reflectance/ oxyhemoglobin levels within.

CONCLUSION:
MSI technology is a noninvasive imaging technique that can depict the vascular features and choroidal oxygenation of CCH lesions and has a potential role in monitoring its growth complications.

The Decalogue and Igbo Traditional Ethics: Essential Values for Community Building
Authors: Umeanolue Ikenna L. , Anizoba Emmanuel C. 
Published: July 2017

The paper analyzes the Decalogue or Ten Commandments (Ex 20:1-17) and Igbo traditional ethics as assets for community building. The giving of the Decalogue was an effort at building the Jewish community. Likewise Igbo traditional ethics provides moral values for Igbo community building. The Decalogue and Igbo traditional ethics have essential values for community building which include sense of the sacred, unity and fidelity. Both the Decalogue and Igbo traditional morality provide a sense of direction for the Jews and the Igbo respectively. They can be summarized as the love of God and the love of neighbour. When the Jewish people are compared with the Igbo people, one discovers that the Igbo have ground norms called omenala which stipulate moral codes guiding the lives of the people. Like the Jews, Igbo people have a sense of the covenant which they call igba-ndu and a sense of the sacred which they term nso-ala. With these the Igbo people build a sense of community. Thus the paper shows that the Ten Commandments and Igbo traditional ethics can be used as bases to tackle the challenges of Igbo community building. It is the conclusion of this paper that much community building can be achieved if the Igbo, who are predominantly Christians, can internalize the provisions and values of the Decalogue and Igbo traditional ethics.
Everyday Technology Use Related to Activity Involvement Among People in Cognitive Decline
Authors: Hedman Annicka , Nygård Louise , Kottorp Anders 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We investigated how everyday technology use related to activity involvement over 5 yr in people with mild cognitive impairment.
METHOD. Thirty-seven older adults with mild cognitive impairment were evaluated regarding everyday technology use and involvement in activities over time. Information on diagnostic changes was collected from medical files. Linear mixed-effects models were used in data analysis.
RESULTS. Ability to use everyday technology showed a significant effect on activity involvement (p = .007) beyond the effects of time, diagnostic change, and age. Decreases in number of everyday technologies used (p &lt; .001) and share of accessible and relevant everyday technologies used (p = .04) were associated with decreasing activity involvement. However, these two aspects did not reinforce each other.
CONCLUSION. When monitoring activity involvement in clients with cognitive decline, health care professionals should take into account clients’ ability to use everyday technologies and the amount of everyday technologies they use.
Practical Utopias: America as Techno-Fix Nation
Authors: Segal Howard P. 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT
Techno-fixes are short-term, avowedly practical proposed solutions to hitherto unsolvable social, economic, and social problems. They bypass traditional obstacles such as poverty, overpopulation, and religious beliefs to transform communities, countries, and regions. They reflect an almost blind faith in the power of technology as panacea. This article puts America's commitment to techno-fixes even today in historical and contemporary perspective. Techno-fixes are not uniquely American, but America has since its colonial origins exemplified techno-fixes more than any other nation. However, the term itself dates only to the 1960s. The article cites examples of techno-fixes and examines the continuing belief in techno-fixes amid the at best partial success of some of those examples and the utter failure of others. Yet, like all serious utopias, all of those techno-fixes are invaluable in illuminating the times and contexts in which they were formulated and promoted.
The 1917 Russian Revolution and Eastern Orthodox Christian Utopianism
Authors: Prosic Tamara 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT
This article attempts to open an alternative perspective in thinking about the role Eastern Orthodox Christianity played in the 1917 Russian revolution by challenging the prevailing paradigm that it was a conservative cultural element resisting social change. Weber claimed that Calvinism managed to turn a particular conception of the world into a corresponding practical norm that aided the development of capitalism. This article proposes a similar thesis regarding the Russian revolution, but utilizing as its theoretical framework Gramsci's ideas on cultural hegemony and Bloch's view about the role of utopian thinking. It argues that Orthodox Christianity was the source of hegemonic cultural values and as such was the familiar semantic background against which the majority of Russians interpreted, accepted, and fought for the socialist ideals of the revolution. In constructing its argument the article provides a critique and a corrective of Gramsci's understanding of cultural hegemony in Russia, analyzes the Orthodox idea of podvig as an enduring perpetual push from the immanent and the imminent of the historical toward the transcendent and the eternal of the utopian divine, and finally, discusses the implications of podvig's theological connotations as a cultural value and a “subjective force” in sustaining the revolutionary efforts.
Queer Afrofuturism: Utopia, Sexuality, and Desire in Samuel Delany's “Aye, and Gomorrah”
Authors: Colmon Clayton D. 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT
This article examines the multiple “queer” identities readers encounter in Samuel Delany's “Aye, and Gomorrah” through an afrofuturist lens. In the short story, Delany presents contrasting depictions of sexuality and desire in queer spaces. This article argues that the short story positions queer utopia, sexuality, and desire within a sublimated discourse of race. The story's portrayal of social deviants such as gay voyeurs, fetishistic “frelks,” and desexed “spacers” introduces contemporary readers to early developments in queer afrofuturism—especially its relationship to queer utopian community and posthuman desire.
L’organisation des terres autochtones de la vallée du Saint-Laurent sous le Régime britannique
Authors: BOUCHARD ISABELLE 
Published: July 2017

La concession de censives dans les terres du Sault-Saint-Louis et de Saint-François, octroyées pour l’usufruit des Iroquois de Kahnawake et des Abénaquis d’Odanak, intègre de facto ces terres dans le régime seigneurial, malgré l’ambiguïté de leur statut foncier. Son langage administratif et juridique est alors utilisé pour définir et administrer ces terres, qui sont divisées entre « domaine » et « mouvance » après la Conquête. Dans l’espace que les Autochtones se réservent pour leur propre usage (le « domaine »), des tensions se développent entre le caractère communal de ces terres et l’appropriation individuelle de parcelles de terre, dont les mutations sont enregistrées dans des greffes de notaires. Certains membres de la communauté remettent en effet en cause la légitimité des prérogatives des chefs concernant la gestion des terres et des ressources, reposant sur leur caractère communal de ces terres. Le développement d’une forme de « propriété privée » dans les terres concédées pour les Autochtones pose également la question des influences légales régissant le patrimoine foncier dans les terres « domaniales » des Iroquois et des Abénaquis.
