Authors: Almahameed Mwaffaq 
Published: March 2024

This study focuses on the role of the Bahraini constitutional institutions that make up the legislative authority in protecting the constitution by explaining the role of the king in protecting the constitution and highlighting the relationship between the legislative authority and the Bahraini constitutional judiciary and the extent to which both Shura Council and Representatives Council can benefit from this relationship by activating an authentic role in starting the Oversight of the constitutionality process, this role functionally integrated with the Constitutional Court so that the Parliament two councils open a new dimension in the relationship with this court, This study include the emphasizing that the right of the Shura and Representatives Councils to request the Constitutional Court to examine the constitutionality of the legislation includes both the existence of a text that contradicts the Constitution and the absence of a text that the Constitution requires (legislative omission). Several recommendations have been mentioned include: The necessity of amending Decree-Law No. (55) of 2002 regarding the internal regulations of the Shura Council and its amendments, and Decree-Law No. (54) of 2002 regarding the internal regulations of the House of Representatives and its amendments by including a new section within Chapter One entitled “Section Five: Request to Examine the Constitutionality of Legislations Or “Section Five: Recourse to the Constitutional Court.”. Also, The inclusion of a text that give the right of a number of members of either chambers (ten members, for example, to ensure seriousness) to resort to the Constitutional Court to request an examination of the constitutionality of legislation, taking into account the proportionality between the legitimacy of the majority’s decision and the seriousness of the issue of raising suspicion of unconstitutionality.

A predictive approach for thermal fatigue crack growth behaviour of shot peened Ni75 alloy
Authors: Salehnasab Behnam 
Published: March 2024

This study presents an approach to predict the effects of shot peening on the thermal fatigue crack propagation behaviour of nickel-based Ni75 alloy. For this purpose, from an engineering perspective, comprising experimental tests data and finite element simulations, were used to estimate the thermal fatigue crack propagation behaviour of the material. Despite many other studies that have been performed to evaluate the fatigue crack growth behavior, only a few were previously conducted on thermal fatigue damage in different types of materials. Furthermore, the interaction of shot peening treatment and thermal fatigue crack propagation behavior is rare. Comparison of the results from the experimental test and FE model showed that the model appropriately predicted the thermal fatigue crack growth behaviour. The fracture mechanism evaluation showed that the compressive residual stress, induced by shot peening treatment, reduced both the crack opening and secondary crack branching. Also, the results show the crack initiation life of the shot peened specimen (SP) is about 2.5 times more than the non shotpeened specimen (NSP). Moreover, the microscopy analysis showed that the failure mechanism of the NSP and SP specimens were transgranular and a combination of intergranular and transgranular cracking, respectively
Analisis Komentar Netizen Douban Terhadap Konflik Budaya dalam Film “The Farewell”
Authors: Tamarisca Kezia , Christiana Elisa 
Published: March 2024

Konflik budaya merupakan hal yang lumrah dalam kehidupan manusia, karena setiap orang dilahirkan dengan latar belakang yang berbeda-beda, dan tentunya norma, etika, moralitas dan nilai-nilai budaya tidak terlepas dari interaksi interpersonal. Konflik budaya hampir selalu terjadi dalam kehidupan nyata, namun juga dapat terwujud melalui pertunjukan seperti film. Penulis memilih film “The Farewell” (2019) dikarenakan terdapat konflik budaya antara Tiongkok dan barat yang terjadi dalam film tersebut dan film ini mendapat banyak komentar dari netizen di Douban, yaitu komunitas daring budaya Tiongkok yang berfokus pada rekomendasi dan komentar film, buku, dan musik. Dalam penelitian ini penulis ingin menganalisis bagaimana komentar netizen Douban terhadap konflik budaya dalam film “The Farewell” melalui teori perbedaan antara nilai budaya kolektivisme dan individualisme yang dikemukakan oleh Kim (1994). Data penelitian diperoleh dari komentar-komentar netizen Douban selama kurun waktu tahun 2019, yaitu tahun ketika film “The Farewell” ditayangkan, yang membahas tentang konflik budaya yang terdapat dalam film “The Farewell” dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dalam komentar singkat kategori “bagus”, netizen Douban setuju dan menghargai perbedaan antara nilai budaya Tiongkok dan barat yang terdapat dalam film tersebut. Namun, dalam komentar singkat kategori “umum” ada netizen Douban yang setuju dan ada yang tidak setuju terhadap perbedaan nilai budaya, ada yang lebih memihak pada nilai budaya kolektivisme dan ada juga yang lebih memihak pada nilai budaya individualisme. Dalam komentar singkat kategori “buruk”, netizen Douban tidak setuju dengan nilai-nilai budaya Tionghoa dalam film tersebut, mereka percaya bahwa konflik budaya dalam film tersebut hanya akan menciptakan stereotip orang Tionghoa di barat.

Published: March 2024

Este trabajo pretende incluir al corpus de la literatura peruana las manifestaciones de la tradición oral sur-andinas, con este propósito se aborda el análisis de los relatos sobre la Virgen de la Natividad de Susapaya donde el evento se erige como marcador temporo-espacial articulando la estructura narrativa con la ideología sociocultural de la zona, de tal manera que solo en el evento es posible actualizar el vínculo con categorías andinas como el manqhapacha, alaxpacha, yanantin y tinku; dichas categorías son parte de poéticas locales que resemantizan e interpolan lo hagiográfico con los ciclos míticos; para ello atendemos al contexto discursivo como marco clave para una hermenéutica de los símbolos que subyacen en los relatos de la Virgen de Susapaya de Tarata.
La investigación se perfila desde la teoría etnopoética y la pragmática, el objeto de estudio son los relatos sobre santos y vírgenes de Tarata, específicamente las narraciones recopiladas durante la fiesta patronal de la Virgen de Susapaya-Tarata en el año 2018[1].

[1] Debido al contexto de pandemia en que se inicia la investigación se incorporó variantes que circulan en la red, ante la imposibilidad de viajar a la zona de estudio. Los relatos se trabajan desde la contemporaneidad.
Use of inertial sensors to support video tracking
Authors: Aron Michael , Simon Gilles , Berger Marie‐Odile 
Published: January 2007

AbstractOne of the biggest obstacles to building effective augmented reality (AR) systems is the lack of accurate sensors that report the location of the user in an environment during arbitrary long periods of movements. In this paper, we present an effective hybrid approach that integrates inertial and vision‐based technologies. This work is motivated by the need to explicitly take into account the relatively poor accuracy of inertial sensors and thus to define an efficient strategy for the collaborative process between the vision‐based system and the sensor. The contributions of this papers are threefold: (i) our collaborative strategy fully integrates the sensitivity error of the sensor: the sensitivity is practically studied and is propagated into the collaborative process, especially in the matching stage (ii) we propose an original online synchronization process between the vision‐based system and the sensor. This process allows us to use the sensor only when needed. (iii) an effective AR system using this hybrid tracking is demonstrated through an e‐commerce application in unprepared environments.

Structure and Bonding in Cyclic Isomers of BAl2Hnm (n=3–6, m=−2 to +1): Preference for Planar Tetracoordination, Pyramidal Tricoordination, and Divalency
Authors: Jemmis Eluvathingal D. , Parameswaran Pattiyil 
Published: January 2007

AbstractThe structure and energetics of cyclic BAl2Hnm (n=3–6, m=−2 to +1), calculated at the B3LYP/6‐311+G** and QCISD(T)/6‐311++G** levels, are compared with their corresponding homocyclic boron and aluminium analogues. Structures in which the boron and aluminium atoms have coordination numbers of up to six are found to be minima. There is a parallel between structure and bonding in isomers of BAl2H32− and BSi2H3. The number of structures that contain hydrogens out of the BAl2 ring plane is found to increase from BAl2H32− to BAl2H6+. Double bridging at one bond is common in BAl2H5 and BAl2H6+. Similarly, species with lone pairs on the divalent boron and aluminium atoms are found to be minima on the potential energy surface of BAl2H32−. BAl2H4− (2 b) is the first example of a structure with planar tetracoordinate boron and aluminium atoms in the same structure. Bridging hydrogen atoms on the BAl bond prefer not to be in the BAl2 plane so that the π MO is stabilised by π–σ mixing. This stabilisation increases with increasing number of bridging hydrogen atoms. The order of stability of the individual structures is decided by optimising the preference for lower coordination at aluminium, a higher coordination at boron and more bridging hydrogen atoms between BAl bonds. The relative stabilisation energy (RSE) for the minimum energy structures of BAl2Hnm that contain π‐delocalisation are compared with the corresponding homocyclic aluminium and boron analogues.

Published: January 2007

AbstractThe key step in the synthesis of new five, six and seven‐membered alicyclic ring [1,2‐a]‐fused bioreductive benzimidazolequinones was radical cyclisation. Six and seven‐membered tributyltin hydride‐mediated homolytic aromatic substitutions of nucleophilic N‐alkyl radicals onto the benzimidazole‐2‐position occurred in high yields (63–70 %) when quaternising the pyridine‐like 3‐N of imidazole with camphorsulfonic acid and using large excesses of the azo‐initiator, 1,1′‐azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile), to supplement the non‐chain reaction. Elaboration of benzimidazoles to the benzimidazolequinones occurred in excellent yields. The IC50 values for the cytotoxicity of benzimidazolequinones towards the human skin fibroblast cell line GM00637 were in the nanomolar range, as determined by using the MTT assay. The benzimidazolequinones were much more cytotoxic than indolequinone analogues. 1,2,3,4‐Tetrahydropyrido[1,2‐a]benzimidazole‐6,9‐dione was the most potent compound prepared being more than 300 times more cytotoxic than the clinically used bioreductive drug, mitomycin C. The latter benzimidazolequinone was more potent under hypoxic conditions (associated with solid tumors), being 4.4 times more cytotoxic than under aerobic conditions, while mitomycin C was 1.8 times more selective towards hypoxia. The cyclopropane fused pyrido[1,2‐a]benzimidazolequinone, 1a,2,3,9b‐tetrahydro‐1H‐cyclopropa[3,4]pyrido[1,2‐a]benzimidazole‐5,8‐dione was less cytotoxic and selective than the five‐membered ring analogue, 1,1a,8,8a‐tetrahydrocyclopropa[3,4]pyrrolo[1,2‐a]benzimidazole‐3,6‐dione. Modifying the structure of the most potent pyrido[1,2‐a]benzimidazolequinone by attaching methyl substituents onto the quinone moiety increased reductive potentials and decreased cytotoxicity and selectivity towards hypoxia.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine whether dissatisfaction with performance of valued activities predicts depression in patients with age‐related macular degeneration (AMD).PatientsTwo hundred and six patients with newly diagnosed neovascular AMD in one eye and pre‐existing AMD in the fellow eye who were participating in a clinical trial of a psychosocial intervention to prevent depression.MeasuresStructured clinical evaluations of vision function, depression, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and medical morbidity. Subjects were classified as dissatisfied if they indicated that they were dissatisfied with their performance of a valued activity.ResultsSubjects who were dissatisfied with performance of valued activities (n = 71) had similar demographic characteristics to satisfied subjects (n = 135) but had worse visual acuity (p < 0.054), greater medical comorbidity (p < 0.006), and lower vision function (p < 0.001). Dissatisfied subjects were almost 2.5 times more likely (OR = 2.41; [95% CI 1.02, 5.65]; p = 0.044) to become depressed within 2 months than satisfied subjects independent of baseline visual acuity, vision function, and medical comorbidity.ConclusionDissatisfaction with performance of valued activities in older persons with AMD predicts depression over a 2‐month period. Assessing the ability to pursue valued activities may identify patients at risk for depression and prompt clinicians to initiate rehabilitative interventions and careful surveillance for depression.

Bare knuckle and better technics: trajectories of access to safe water in history and in the global south
Authors: Crow Ben 
Published: January 2007

AbstractThis paper draws lessons from the history of water provision in the industrialised world, and the failure of colonial municipal water utilities, to illuminate the social, political and financial challenges facing improved urban water supply in the global south. It distinguishes four trajectories for water and sanitation access with different records of success. The paper then suggests that engineers, and the communities, NGOs, development agencies and governments for whom they work, could work more effectively if they formulated their work to fit socially, financially and politically feasible trajectories.

Global behaviour of an SIR epidemic model with time delay
Authors: Tchuenche Jean M. , Nwagwo Alexander , Levins Richard 
Published: January 2007

AbstractWe study the stability of a delay susceptible–infective–recovered epidemic model with time delay. The model is formulated under the assumption that all individuals are susceptible, and we analyse the global stability via two methods—by Lyapunov functionals, and—in terms of the variance of the variables. The main theorem shows that the endemic equilibrium is stable. If the basic reproduction number ℛ0 is less than unity, by LaSalle invariance principle, the disease‐free equilibrium Es is globally stable and the disease always dies out. By applying the integral averaging theory, we also investigate the stability in variance of the model. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Skin ageing and its treatment
Authors: Baumann L 
Published: January 2007

AbstractThe effects of chronic sun exposure on skin are readily apparent when skin not typically exposed to the sun and skin regularly exposed to the sun are compared. While the sun is not the only aetiological factor in the dynamic process of skin ageing, it is the primary exogenous cause among several internal and environmental elements. Thus, photo‐ageing, the main focus of this article, is a subset of extrinsic skin ageing. The influence of the sun in extrinsic skin ageing, as well as its role in potentially altering the normal course of intrinsic (also known as natural or cellular) ageing, is discussed. Telomeres, the specialized structures found at the ends of chromosomes, are believed to be integral to cellular ageing as well as in the development of cancer. The ageing process, both intrinsic and extrinsic, is also believed to be influenced by the formation of free radicals, also known as reactive oxygen species. The loss of collagen is considered the characteristic histological finding in aged skin. Wrinkling and pigmentary changes are directly associated with photo‐ageing and are considered its most salient cutaneous manifestations. Such photodamage represents the cutaneous signs of premature ageing. In addition, deleterious consequences of chronic sun exposure, specifically various forms of photo‐induced skin cancer, are also linked to acute and chronic sun exposure. The only known strategies aimed at preventing photo‐ageing include sun avoidance, using sunscreens to block or reduce skin exposure to UV radiation, using retinoids to inhibit collagenase synthesis and to promote collagen production, and using anti‐oxidants, particularly in combination, to reduce and neutralize free radicals.

A dynamic corridor‐searching algorithm to seek time‐varying instream flow releases for optimal weir operation: comparing three indices of overall hydrologic alteration
Authors: Shiau Jenq‐Tzong , Wu Fu‐Chun 
Published: January 2007

AbstractA full range of natural flow regime has been widely recognized as a primary driving force for sustaining the integrity of a riverine ecosystem. Existing instream flow methods strive to assure a constant minimum flow but not the natural flow variability. We present in this paper a dynamic corridor‐searching algorithm to seek the optimal time‐varying scheme for instream flow releases. A compromise programming (CP) is employed to search the optimal solution of an objective function aggregating the ecosystem and human needs objectives. The ecosystem need objective is represented by an overall index of hydrologic alteration, which integrates 32 indicators of hydrologic alteration (IHA) derived from the range of variability approach (RVA). The human need objectives are expressed by shortage ratios for the agricultural and municipal water supplies. The proposed method is applied to a weir operation in Taiwan. Three approaches to evaluating the overall degree of hydrologic alteration (i.e., the three‐class, fuzzy‐based, and overall‐mean approaches) are compared here. The results show that the time‐varying schemes improve the human need objective, but only slightly deteriorate the ecosystem need objective. Such advantages increase with the time‐varying frequency. For the wet periods, smaller flow releases may be prescribed; for the dry periods, however, greater releases must be specified to secure a lower degree of overall hydrologic alteration. It is also revealed that use of the three‐class approach to evaluate the overall hydrologic alteration facilitates to eliminate highly altered IHA and maintain those low‐flow characteristics subtle to flow diversions. However, such outcomes are achieved at the cost of greater deficits for human water demands. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
