Authors: Sondermeyer Cooksey Gail L. , Wilken Jason A. , McNary Jennifer , Gilliss Debra , Shusterman Dennis , Materna Barbara L. , Vugia Duc J. 
Published: June 2017

Objectives. To investigate if work activities, dust exposure, and protection measures were associated with a 2011 to 2014 coccidioidomycosis outbreak among workers constructing 2 solar farms in California. Methods. In 2013, we mailed self-administered questionnaires to employees who were onsite at the solar farms where the outbreak occurred to identify cases of clinical coccidioidomycosis and compare with asymptomatic workers by using multivariate logistic regression. Results. When we compared 89 workers with clinical coccidioidomycosis to 325 asymptomatic workers, frequently being in a dust cloud or storm (odds ratio [OR] = 5.93; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.18, 11.06) significantly increased the odds of clinical coccidioidomycosis, whereas frequently wetting soil before soil-disturbing activity (OR = 0.42; 95% CI = 0.24, 0.75) was protective. When we controlled for being in a dust cloud or storm, frequent soil disturbance significantly increased the odds of clinical coccidioidomycosis only among those who reported wearing a respirator infrequently (OR = 2.31; 95% CI = 1.27, 4.21). Conclusions. Utilization of personal and employer-driven safety practices and increased coccidioidomycosis awareness among construction workers should be considered during the planning of any construction work in coccidioidomycosis-endemic regions to prevent occupational infections and outbreaks.
Understanding and Improving Arterial Roads to Support Public Health and Transportation Goals
Authors: McAndrews Carolyn , Pollack Keshia M. , Berrigan David , Dannenberg Andrew L. , Christopher Ed J. 
Published: June 2017

Arterials are types of roads designed to carry high volumes of motorized traffic. They are an integral part of transportation systems worldwide and exposure to them is ubiquitous, especially in urban areas. Arterials provide access to diverse commercial and cultural resources, which can positively influence community health by supporting social cohesion as well as economic and cultural opportunities. They can negatively influence health via safety issues, noise, air pollution, and lack of economic development. The aims of public health and transportation partially overlap; efforts to improve arterials can meet goals of both professions. Two trends in arterial design show promise. First, transportation professionals increasingly define the performance of arterials via metrics accounting for pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and nearby residents in addition to motor vehicle users. Second, applying traffic engineering and design can generate safety, air quality, and livability benefits, but we need evidence to support these interventions. We describe the importance of arterials (including exposures, health behaviors, effects on equity, and resulting health outcomes) and make the case for public health collaborations with the transportation sector.
Measurement of Evapotranspiration in Turfgrass: A Comparison of Techniques
Authors: Peterson K. W. , Bremer D. J. , Shonkwiler K. B. , Ham J. M. 
Published: June 2017

Core Ideas
Evapotranspiration from ASCEDM, ASCEDC was equivalent to lysimeters.
Net radiation from global irradiance is sufficient in daily‐step model in absence of measured net radiation.
ASCEDC improves irrigation scheduling in turfgrass when measured net radiation is not available.
Evapotranspiration (ET) from turfgrass can be measured directly using lysimeters (LYS), estimated from weather data using models, or approximated using atmometers. Evapotranspiration measurements from LYS were compared with ET estimates from the American Society of Civel Engineers standardized ET equation using hourly steps from measured net radiation (Rn) (ASCEHM) and Rn calculated from global irradiance (ASCEHC), and daily steps from measured net radiation (ASCEDM) and Rn calculated from global irradiance (ASCEDC), the Priestley–Taylor (PT) model, and atmometers, all collocated in a sward of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) turfgrass near Manhattan, KS. Data were collected on precipitation free days during the growing seasons 2010 through 2012 and analyzed by periods with high ET, low ET, and pooled across all days. Overall mean ET (May–October) ranged from 5.58 (LYS) to 4.47 mm d−1 (ASCEHC). During days with high evaporative demand ET from daily‐step models (ASCEDM, ASCEDC) were equivalent to LYS, based on paired t tests. Similarity in ET among LYS, ASCEDM, and ASCEDC indicate using Rn calculated from global irradiance is sufficient in the daily‐step model in the absence of measured Rn. At high ET rates ET from ASCEHM and PT was 5 to 9% lower than LYS, but accuracy was significantly reduced (by 22%) with ASCEHC. Atmometer ET averaged 17% lower than LYS, but performance was better at low than high ET. Results indicate the ASCEDC could improve irrigation scheduling in turfgrass by providing accurate ET estimates from standard weather station data where measured Rn is not available.
Pharmaceutical and Endocrine Disruptor Compounds in Surface and Wastewater in San Marcos, Texas
Authors: Oates R. P. , Longley Glenn , Hamlett Pamela , Klein David 
Published: June 2017

ABSTRACT: Water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) and hospitals are major point sources of pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in aquatic environments. This study investigated the removal efficiencies of 23 known or suspected EDCs through the San Marcos WRRF to determine which treatment process was the most effective at removal. Results from samples collected at the hospital indicate that the hospital discharge is contributing to the concentration of these compounds in the San Marcos wastewater collection system (0.05–140 μg/L concentrations). The most frequently detected compounds in the WRRF influent included acetaminophen, nonylphenol, caffeine, benzophenone, N,N‐diethyl‐m‐toluamide (DEET), bisphenol A (BPA), and triclosan. Comparison of influent and effluent concentrations showed that the San Marcos WRRF is effectively removing (>92%) of these compounds, with the exception of carbamazepine and tris(2‐chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP). These preliminary results will be used to guide future improvements within the WRRF.
Purposive Interpretation, Quebec, and the Supreme Court Act

Published: June 2017

In this brief paper, we examine the interpretive problem raised by Justice Nadon’s appointment. Because Binnie’s interpretation of sections 5 and 6 is one of the only discussions of this issue, and is likely to infl uence any subsequent legal analysis, we take his opinion as a starting point.
Administrative Law, Judicial Deference, and the Charter
Authors: Lewans Matthew 
Published: June 2017

The doctrine of judicial deference has been a touchstone in Canadian administrative law for thirty-five years. Put simply, the doctrine recognizes that administrative officials have legitimate authority to interpret the law, which means that judicial review is warranted only if an administrative decision is demonstrably unfair or unreasonable. While the tide of deference has ebbed and flowed over this period, most administrative decisions these days are assessed according to a standard of reasonableness instead of correctness.
Status Quo Unacceptable; Senate Reform Possible; Abolition by Stealth Anti-Democratic
Authors: Trimble Linda 
Published: June 2017

I will begin by challenging the federal government’s assertion that the Supreme Court decisioneffectively makes meaningful Senate reform impossible. Then, I will discuss the move towardsabolition and explain why I think it’s both reckless and anti-democratic. Finally, I’ll conclude bymaking a pitch for a truly deliberative process — a national conversation on the future of the Senate in the form of a citizen’s assembly.
L’activisme judiciaire, le prix de la transaction démocratique en Espagne
Authors: Ninet Antoni Abat 
Published: June 2017

Cet article propose d’aborder un sujet dont tout le monde parle en Espagne; un vrai débat public. Baltasar Garzón a-t-il dépassé ses fonctions de magistrat en acceptant d’enquêter sur plusieurs cas d’actions criminelles contre les responsables politiques et militaires du régime de Franco? Le Juge s’est-il immiscé dans la sphère politique, ou a-t-il simplement exercé les fonctions du bureau judiciaire? Baltasar Garzón est un juge bien connu en Espagne puisqu’il a traité certaines des affaires criminelles les plus importantes du pays, impliquant dans ses accusations des personnes publiques, longtemps avant l’accusation de renommée mondiale contre Pinochet, Videla et d’autres dictateurs sud-américains.Le cas espagnol, comparé avec d’autres transitions démocratiques (en Pologne et en Hongrie), se concentre sur le rôle de l’activisme juridique. La question analysée ici est celle de savoir si Baltasar Garzón a fait de l’activisme judiciaire dans une disposition judiciaire concrète, Arrêt d’accusation (Auto) du 16 octobre 2008 (PA : 399/2006 V). Comme nous le démontrerons, nous avons choisi cette décision concrète en raison de son énorme transcendance en termes politiques en Espagne.

Authors: Milne Cheryl , Greiss John , Boswell Deborah 
Published: June 2017

Dramatic changes have taken place in recent years at the national level with respect to the day to day functioning of our constitutional democracy. These changes impinge on the separation of powers, the rule of law and the supremacy of the constitution. The David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights at the University of Toronto partnered with the Centre for Constitutional Studies at the University of Alberta to organize a two day symposium in February 2016, at the Faculty of Law, University of Toronto, designed to bring together a diverse group of academic experts and individuals with experience in public service at high levels, as well as academics with personal experience in governance, to discuss these changes.
Confidence: How Much is Enough?
Authors: Neary Peter 
Published: June 2017

Did Prime Minister Stephen Harper, faced with almost certain defeat in the Commons in December 2008 on a matter of confidence, act unconstitutionally by seeking to prorogue a newly elected parliament that had been sitting for only two weeks? And did Governor General Michaëlle Jean violate the principles of responsible government by granting prorogation? These questions have been the subject of intense debate in the Canadian media and may rank with the King-Byng crisis of 1926 in future academic and legal discussion of the constitution. In my opinion, while the prime minister tested the limits of “responsible government,” the Governor General respected precedent and acted appropriately and wisely in her decision.
Constitutional Obligation of Alberta to Publish Laws in French: R v Caron and Boutet
Authors: Unsworth Margaret 
Published: June 2017

This paper outlines the decisions of the Courts in the cases of Gilles Caron and Pierre Boutet [Caron] as well as the basic arguments advanced by the parties at the Supreme Court of Canada. The central issue in the case is whether there is a constitutional obligation on the Province of Alberta to publish its laws in French.This is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of the myriad of issues that were argued by Mr. Caron and Mr. Boutet in defence of their traffi c tickets. Rather, the objective is to give an overview of the essentials of each of the decisions and the basic arguments advanced. This paper will also not address the matter of funding at trial, an issue in this case which also went to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Do Peer Warnings Affect CEO Compensation?
Authors: Darrough Masako N. , Shi Linna , Wang Ping 
Published: June 2017

SYNOPSIS
In this study, focusing on the period 1996–2010, we conduct an empirical investigation of how warnings by industry peer firms about future earnings affect CEO compensation structure. These warnings contain information about the industry, signaling dim industry prospects and possibly triggering negative spillovers on stock prices. We predict that firms respond to industry-wide negative information by changing the compensation mix to make it more future oriented and by reducing pay-performance sensitivity to shield CEOs from negative factors beyond their control. We find that (1) for firms that issue warnings, peer warnings are associated with a reduction in pay-performance sensitivity; and (2) for firms that do not issue warnings, peer warnings are associated with a modification in compensation mix, such that it becomes more equity based and future oriented, similar to the adjustment made to CEO compensation in the wake of self-warnings. Our results are robust to different definitions of warnings and to the exclusion of annual earnings warnings. However, the results do not hold after 2005, which may be due to factors such as a decline in the use of option compensation, a decrease in the issuance of warnings outside of the announcement window, and changing patterns in management guidance behavior.

Jane Eyre on the Nineteenth-Century Spanish Stage: Intertextuality and Adaptation in Francisco Morera’s Version of Charlotte Brontë's Novel
Authors: Medina Calzada Sara 
Published: June 2017

Abstract: this paper examines Francisco Morera’s Juana Eyre (1869), a stage version of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre which can be regarded as the first significant evidence of works by the Brontë sisters appearing in Spain. Morera’s text is based on the French stage version by Lefèvre and Royer (1855), which was, in turn, inspired by the German adaptation by Birch-Pfeiffer. The Spanish adaptor creates a conservative rewriting of Jane Eyre and introduces relevant changes in Bertha Mason’s storyline in order to eliminate the elements that would challenge the moral conventions of the time. Resumen: el propósito de este trabajo es analizar Juana Eyre (1869), la adaptación teatral de la novela de Charlotte Brontë compuesta por Francisco Morera, que supone un primer acercamiento a la obra de las hermanas Brontë en España. Está basada en una versión teatral francesa realizada por Lefèvre y Royer en 1855, que a su vez está inspirada en la adaptación alemana de Birch-Pfeiffer de 1853. El autor español lleva a cabo una reescritura conservadora de Jane Eyre y modifica la historia de Bertha Mason para eliminar aquellos aspectos controvertidos que no se adecuan a la moral de la época.
Ideology, Identity And Power: The Linguistic Construction Of The Voice Of The Other In Two Immigration Short Stories
Authors: López Asensio Jorge 
Published: June 2017

Abstract: this article explores how the concepts of ideology, identity, and power contribute to the construction of the voice of the Other in immigration short fiction. For this purpose, a twofold linguistic analysis using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)and stylistics is carried out. The innovative nature of the study can be perceived in its theoretical background as well as in its analytic process given that it combines CDA and stylistics andit proposes a corpus of immigration literature. The two short stories analyzed are “Negocios” by Junot Díaz and “The Arrangers of Marriage” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.The results show that the voice of the Other as immigrant is destructed and through processes of discursive power there is an attempt to shape his/her identity to conform to a new ideology. Resumen: este artículo explora cómo los conceptos de ideología, identidad y poder contribuyen a la construcción de la voz del Otro en historias cortas de temática de inmigración. Para ello, se elabora un doble análisis lingüístico a través del Análisis Crítico del Discurso y de la pragmaestilística. El carácter innovador del trabajo se percibe en materia teórica y metodológica ya que utiliza un marco teórico combinado de ACD y estilística para analizar un corpus literario de relatos de inmigración. Los relatos analizados son “Negocios” (Junot Díaz) y “The Arrangers of Marriage” (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie). Los resultados indican que la voz del Otro como inmigrante es destruida y que a través de procesos de poder discursivo existe un intento de moldear su identidad a fin de acomodarle a una nueva ideología.

Published: June 2017

Information technologyÂ governance is used to guide and control an organization in achieving the goals that had been planned in advance. PT DEF is a company which utilises information technology to support its business processes. Nevertheless,Â it indeedÂ requires an IT governance that can be beneficial as a reference for IT activities in order to run properly. This research intends to conduct an audit of information technology governance based on the COBIT 5 framework domain, which isÂ DSS (Deliver, Service, and Support) domain in the process of DSS03 (Manage Problems). According to the research results, the values that have been obtained from the process of DSS03 capability level was 64.66%, that is regarded as Partially Achieved. Capability level will be used as a reference in seeking gap contained in the domain of DSS03 process. Furthermore, these would be able to make recommendations aimed at increasing the value of the expected maturity. This research contributes to the evaluation results and recommendations to improve the capability level on the DSS03 domain, henceÂ PT DEF can upgrade its IT governance by using DSS03 process.
