L’inceste dans la doctrine italienne de la renaissance. Définition et répression d’un crime de « Jus commune »
Authors: Le March'Adour Tanguy 
Published: March 2024

Soumission à Epi-revel
L’inceste est au début de l’époque moderne un crime de « Jus commune », construit par la doctrine à partir du droit romain et du droit canonique. L’étude se propose d’étudier la doctrine pénale italienne, dominante dans l’Europe de la Renaissance, en se limitant à deux points essentiels : la définition pénale du crime et la recherche de la peine ordinaire qui fonde l’existence de la répression dans l’ordre civil. En absorbant le droit canonique et en se dégageant du droit romain pour s’appuyer sur la pratique judiciaire, les auteurs vont parvenir à hiérarchiser les différents types d’inceste. Parmi eux un type d’inceste se détache par son extrême gravité, l’abus paternel, seul incontestablement puni de mort.

Soumission à Epi-revel
La lutte anticorruption intègre la pluralité des formes et conséquences de la corruption surtout sur les droits de l’Homme. Leur effectivité est interrogée dans un contexte marqué par la corruption publique, la manipulation et l’inefficacité des mécanismes anticorruption. Ces droits se retrouvent dans l’étau de la corruption et ses mécanismes de répression. Des États représentatifs des particularismes africains et européens en la matière (France, Guinée et Cameroun) ont été comparés. L’équilibre entre protection des droits de l’Homme et lutte anticorruption exige que les premiers ne soient pas sacrifiés sur l’autel de la recherche d’une réponse obligatoirement efficace. L’intervention du juge international dans la répression de la corruption est espérée.

Soumission à Epi-revel
The evolution of the international monetary system towards a more multipolar configuration is not only reflective of fundamentals but of increasing fragilities and uncertainty. In this paper, we map the trajectories of the big four (EUR, GBP, JPY, USD) and secondary currencies (AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY) in the past decade and argue that the system is increasingly illadapted to thereconfiguration of the globaleconomy, bringing to theforefront the need, in particular, for a reliable alternative international reserve asset.

Authors: Muhammad Fatkhudin  
Published: March 2024

This paper presents the results of research on Pre-Marriage Education in the Pre-Marriage Course model in Tegal Regency, the implementation of the Pre-Marriage Course in broad outline refers to Perdirjen No. DJ.II / 491/2009. The implementation of Pre-Marriage Courses is generally carried out according to the capabilities of the KUA and the Ministry of Religion. The model of implementation, both in groups and with individuals is carried out in accordance with the event of marriage and the willingness of the bride and groom. The speakers came from the KUA more often, the material presented was related to government regulations related to marriage, marriage law, household matters, and remembrance of the reconciliation process which will be carried out by Catin during the wedding procession, and the duration of the group is approximately 3 hours and 1 hour individual. Broadly speaking, the implementation of the Pre-Marriage Course has embraced the principle of public service (Law No. 25/2009), except that in the professional principle it cannot be fulfilled because it collides with the funding owned by the Ministry of Religion.

The research was undertaken to study the anger levels of adults working in government and non- government organizations. The study was carried out in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh state. Simple random sampling was used to select the respondents. A total of 60 adults aged between 24 – 45 years working in government and non- government organizations were selected. Anger levels of adults were measured with the help of 23- items anger scale developed by T.L. Alaka et.al 2018. The data was analysed through frequency, percentages, mean, standard deviation and t-test. Study reveals that majority of the government employees belonged to middle adults (72.22%) whereas non- government employees were young adults (83.33%). With regard to education majority 66.67 per cent of the government employees and 86.67 per cent non-government employees educated up to degree. Majority 86.67 per cent of the government employees and 80.00 of non-government employees belonged to medium level of anger. The results in the study also revealed that there was no significant difference between government and non-government with respect to experience, lie detector, verbal, mental dimension and behaviour dimensions respectively.

Published: March 2024

Schizophyllum communeFr. is an edible medicinal mushroom also known as white rot fungus that develops naturally on dead woods which belongs to the phylumBasidiomycota, order Agaricales, family Schizophyllaceae.To find out most suitable growing substrates, mushroom was cultivated on 6 locally available substrates including different saw dust i.e.Babool (Vachellianilotica),Bija (Petrocarpus marsupium),Sal (Shorea robusta),Sagwan (Tectona grandis) and different strawi.e. Paddy straw(PS) and Wheat straw(WS). Among the different substrates,on an average,WS took shortest time for mycelial run (6.50 days), longest time(8.62 days) taken by Bija (P. marsupium). Pinhead initiation was fastest (8.50 days) in WS while, Bija (P. marsupium)took more time period(10.62 days) for pinhead initiation. The Maximum yield was obtained from WS (148.37gm) with biological efficiency (29.6%) followed by PS(116.12 gm) with biological efficiency (23.2%). The lowest yield was obtained from saw dust of Bija (P. marsupium)(60.50gm) with biological efficiency (10.40%).There was significant difference in yield when supplement (wheat bran)was mixed with substrates, however there was no significant difference observed in mycelial run and pinhead initiation.
Effect of Soybean, Groundnut, Crayfish Inclusion and Vitamin C-fortified Formulated Food Blends on Biochemical, Hematological, Protein Quality and Performance Indices in Weanling Albino Rats
Authors: Ogbonnaya Enyinnaya A. , Nwachinemerem Austin C. , Akaninwor Joyce O. 
Published: March 2024

In this study, food staples comprising of Zea mays (maize), Sorghum bicolor (guinea corn), Glycine max (soybean), Arachis hypogea (groundnut) and Procambarus clarkii (crayfish) were traditionally processed and formulated into maize-guinea corn based weaning diets at 16% protein level. A replica of each diet was formulated with inclusion of vitamin C (50 mg/100 g diet). Fifty four 3-week old weanling albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) weighing between 36-39 g were placed into 13 groups of 4 rats per group and administered different diet groups ranging from maize- guinea corn base diet alone, through staples-inclusive diet (singly and in combination) and their vitamin c fortified replica diets, and standard commercial infant formula (Cerelac®) diet. Animals were sacrificed on the 28th day from onset of feeding and evaluated for biochemical, hematological and biological parameters; and sensory evaluation also conducted on the diets. Results showed significant increases in serum concentrations of protein, urea, creatinine; in the levels of red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb) and packed cell volume (PCV); in total body weight gain and organ weights and insignificant changes in white blood cell (WBC) and platelet counts in the staples-inclusive diets compared to base diet and also in the vitamin C- fortified diets compared to non-fortified diets. Incorporation of food staples enhanced the protein quality of the diets while fortification with vitamin C increased only the biological value. On the acceptability rating, only the base gruel-crayfish mix showed significantly higher taste and overall acceptability. Therefore, the inclusion of the food blends comprising of soybean, groundnut and crayfish improved the nutritive content, hematopoietic potential, protein quality, taste and overall acceptability of the maize-guinea corn based weaning diet. These were further improved by fortification of the diets with vitamin C, while crayfish played a prominent role in taste and overall acceptance of the formulated diets. Fortification also significantly bridges the gap between the formulated weaning diets and Cerelac®, a standard commercial weaning formula in Nigeria.
The effect of male tenure and female mate choice on paternity in free‐ranging Japanese macaques
Authors: Inoue Eiji , Takenaka Osamu 
Published: June 2007

AbstractIn this study, the paternity of all the infants born in 2002 and 2003 in a free‐ranging Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) group at Arashiyama in Kyoto, Japan, was analyzed in relation to males' age, dominance rank, and tenure and females' mate choice. The fathers of 20 out of 23 infants were determined by DNA analyses. Central adult (high‐ranking) males sired two infants, whereas peripheral adult (low‐ranking) males sired 14 infants. Young males sired only one infant. Among adult males, tenure was the most dominant factor that negatively affected male reproductive success. The mating behavior of females who gave birth was also analyzed. The number of male copulations in the peri‐fertilization period was positively correlated with the number of infants that they sired. Females copulated with central males with a long tenure only when fertilization was unlikely or impossible. The females probably avoided insemination by males with a long tenure and selected males with a shorter tenure as their mating partners during the ovulation period. Am. J.

AbstractRabbit islets of Langerhans were exposed at 37 °C for 18 h to a low‐frequency‐pulsed magnetic field, generated in paired Helmholtz coils. Exposed islets showed a reduction of 26.1 ± 4.3% in 45Ca2+ content (P < .004). a reduction of 25.1 ± 6.3% in 45Ca2+ efflux (P < .006), and a reduction of 35.0 ± 8.7% (P < .002) in insulin released during glucose stimulation when compared with appropriate controls.
Testicular function of rats following exposure to microwave radiation
Authors: Lebovitz Rober T. M. , Johnson L. 
Published: June 2007

AbstractMale Sprague‐Dawley rats were exposed for 6 h per day for nine days to pulse‐modulated microwave radiation (1.3 GHz, at 1‐μs pulse width, 600 pulses per second). Exposures were carried out in cylindrical waveguide sections at a mean dose rate of 6.3 mW/g; sham controls were treated similarly and received no irradiation. At time periods corresponding to 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 cycles of the seminiferous epithelium, groups of four shamirradiated and four irradiated rats were killed and the testes removed for analysis. Net mass of the testes, epididymides, and seminal vesicles; daily sperm production (DSP) per testis and per gram of testis; sperm morphology; and the number of epididymal sperm were determined. There were no statistically significant differences between the shamirradiated and irradiated groups with respect to any measured variable. In a group of seven surrogate animals of similar body mass, the dose rate of 6.3 mW/g caused a net change in body temperature (via rectal probe) of 1.5 °C.
Effects of microwave exposure on the hamster immune system. I. Natural killer cell activity
Authors: Yang H. K. , Cain C. A. , Lockwood J. , Tompkins W. A. F. 
Published: June 2007

AbstractHamsters were exposed to repeated or single doses of microwave energy and monitored for changes in core body temperature. circulating leukocyte profiles, serum corticosteroid levels, and natural killer (NK) cell activity in various tissues. NK cytotoxicity was measured in a 15Crrelease assay employing baby hamster kidney (BHK) targets or BHK infected with herpes simplex virus. Repeated exposure of hamsters at 15 mW/cm2 for 60 min/day had no significant effect on natural levels of spleen‐cell NK activity against BHK targets. Similarly, repeated exposure at 15 mW/cm2 over a 5‐day period had no demonstrable effect on the induction of spleen NK activity by vaccinia virus immunization, that is. comparable levels of NK were induced in untreated and microwave‐treated animals. In contrast, treatment of hamsters with a single 60‐min microwave exposure at 25 mW/cm2 caused a significant suppression in induced spleen NK activity. A similar but less marked decrease in spleen NK activity was observed in sham‐exposed animals. Moreover, the sham effects on NK activity were not predictable and appeared to represent large individual animal variations in the response to stress factors. Depressed spleen NK activity was evident as early as 4 h postmicrowave treatment and returned to normal levels by 8 h. Hamsters exposed at 25 mW/cm2 showed an elevated temperature of 3.0–3.5 °C that returned to normal within 60 min after termination of microwave exposure. These animals also showed a marked lymphopenia and neutrophilia by 1 h posttreatment that returned to normal by 8–10 h. Serum glucocorticosteroids were elevated between 1 and 8 h after microwave treatment. Sham‐exposed animals did not demonstrate significant changes in core body temperature. peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) profile, or glucocorticosteroid levels as compared to minimum‐handling controls.
Experimental determination of whole body average specific absorption rate (SAR) of mice exposed to 200–400 MHz CW
Authors: Marshall Stanley V. , Brown Roger F. 
Published: June 2007

AbstractA maximum of six live mice, mouse cadavers, prolate spheroids molded from muscle‐equivalent tissue, or saline‐filled culture flasks, were exposed to continuous wave radiation in a TEM cell at frequencies between 200 and 400 MHz. Whole‐body average specific absorption rate (SAR) was determined from power meter measurements of incident, reflected, and transmitted powers. The SARs for both live mice and cadavers were approximately twice that for the prolate spheroid models, and when housed in Plexiglas restraining cages, about 2 1/2 times greater. An error multiplying factor is identified, that quantitatively expresses how SAR data obtained by the three ‐power‐meter method becomes progressively more noisy as the irradiation frequency is lowered or as the TEM cell cross section is increased.
A microwave‐hyperthermia model of febrile convulsions

Published: June 2007

AbstractWhile convulsions associated with fever represent a serious problem in pediatric medicine, conventional animal models of febrile convulsions suffer numerous technical limitations. A microwave‐hyperthermia model that eliminates these problems was tested. Microwave energy was used to increase the core temperature of 13‐ and 17‐day‐old rats, resulting in convulsions similar to febrile convulsions in human infants. Rats were irradiated for 10 min in circularly polarized waveguides at 918 MHz, CW (average SAR = 9.4 W/kg at 13 days and 18.0 W/kg at 17 days as determined by twin‐well calorimetry). Day 17 irradiated rats were less susceptible to convulsions than were day 13 irradiated rats, indicating an age‐dependent decline in susceptibility. Contrary to findings of earlier models using infrared or hot‐oven heating, convulsions induced with microwave hyperthermia impaired neither brain growth nor subsequent performance during behavioral testing. Simultaneous measurement of brain and rectal temperatures during microwave irradiation revealed differential heating rates that favor thermal homeostasis in brain tissue.
Electromagnetic Fields Induced by Helmholtz Aiding Coils Inside Saline‐Filled Boundaries

Published: June 2007

AbstractThe use of Helmholtz aiding coils to induce small electromagnetic (EM) fields in living tissue for both medical and research purposes has become quite common. While much progress has been made in showing that these induced EM signals can cause a variety of effects in tissues and individual cells, a satisfactory explanation of how the effects occur or how the EM signals couple to the tissue has not yet emerged. To address the latter problem adequately, it becomes necessary to know the spatial distribution of the induced fields inside a given set of boundaries. This paper examines the situation used for much in vitro research where a cylindrical culture dish is filled with a conducting solution and placed between the Helmholtz coils. Two cases are considered. The first assumes that the coils are above and below the culture dish (the planes of the coils are parallel with the top and bottom of the dish); the second assumes that the planes of the coils are parallel with the sides of the dish. A closed form solution is obtained for both cases, and it is shown that the induced EM field distribution is markedly different for the two cases.
Problem‐solving skills training: Social validation and generalization

Published: June 2007

AbstractThis study developed and evaluated a program for teaching a verbal problem‐solving strategy to mildly mentally handicapped adults. Six general areas were targeted for training: Community Awareness, Authority Figures, Peer Issues, Stating One's Rights, Emergencies and Injuries, and Safety. The program features response‐specific feedback, modeling, self‐monitoring, positive reinforcement, response practice, self‐correction, and individualized performance criterion levels. The experimental group (N = 3) received baseline, training, probes, and pre/posttraining generalization assessments, whereas the control group (N = 3) received only the pre/posttraining assessments. The generalization and probe assessments contained situations that were both similar and dissimilar to the training situations. The three month posttraining results revealed that the experimental subjects' problem‐solving skills had generalized to both types of situations, whereas the control group showed little overall change. Furthermore, the experimental group's three month scores were comparable to those of a group of nonhandicapped individuals. Issues related to these results and suggestions for future research are discussed.
Brief report: Contact desensitization in the treatment of dog phobias in persons who have mental retardation
Authors: Erfanian Nasrin , Miltenberger Raymond G. 
Published: June 2007

AbstractIn comparison with the research done on phobias in non‐retarded individuals, there is a paucity of research in the treatment of phobias in persons with mental retardation. In this study, contact desensitization was evaluated as a treatment for two individuals who have mental retardation and an intense fear of dogs. Following base‐line assessment using a behavioral avoidance test (BAT) measuring actual approach behavior, treatment was implemented in a multiple base‐line across subjects design. Contact desensitization resulted in the elimination of avoidance behavior in both subjects during the BAT. Measures of generalization in an outdoor setting, and maintenance during a two‐month follow‐up, showed that the clients continued to be free of avoidance behavior. The implications for further application and research are discussed.
Brief report: Psychometric properties of the adaptive behavior scale with psychiatric inpatients
Authors: Donat Dennis C. , McKeegan Gerald F. 
Published: June 2007

AbstractThis study investigated the psychometric properties of the Adaptive Behavior Scale (ABS) with a sample of chronic psychiatric inpatients. Patients (N = 117) on extended care wards of a state hospital were assessed with the ABS. An orthogonal principal‐components analysis revealed three underlying factors (independent functioning, general maladaptation, and inappropriate social behavior). Evidence for construct validity was demonstrated by analyses demonstrating that the ABS could discriminate among patients according to age, diagnosis, and length of hospitalization. The results are consistent with previous data which suggest that the ABS can be appropriately used with psychiatric patients. Implications of the results for suggestions regarding possible revision of the ABS are discussed.
Brief report: Ecobehavioral assessment using transparent scatter plots
Authors: Bosma Al , Mulick James A. 
Published: June 2007

AbstractComprehensive ecobehavioral assessment has tended to rely on elaborate statistical approaches to determine if relationships exist between a large number of environmental events and target behaviors. Although extensive ecological‐correlation analyses can provide important information about the individual's total environment, the elaborate statistical procedure required can also be very unwieldy for applied staff. As an alternative, minor modifications in the scatter plot technique, originally suggested by Touchette et al. (1985), can provide similar information more efficiently while providing applied workers with direct visual contact with the data. Essentially, the technique involves constructing a series of transparent scatter plots, which can be overlaid, and from which important relationships can be readily detected.
