Methods of Inquiry: Police Corruption, Historical Anti-Corruption Experiences and Implications for Contemporary Practices
Authors: Bleakley Paul 
Published: February 2023

Historically, establishing a judicial commission in response to allegations of police corruption has been a regular method used by Australian governments. In Queensland alone, no less than five major inquiries with a remit to examine police corruption took place during the 27 years between 1963 and 1989. By using historical criminology, it is possible to unpack the cyclical need for such commissions as well as the reasons that most were unable to realise their goal to stamp out corruption in the public service and, more specifically, the police. This research reveals several key areas of weakness in the temporary inquiry system, including narrow terms of reference and the potential for obstruction in the investigatory process. Based on this, this article identifies several viable policy proposals centred on a renewed commitment to standing anti‑corruption bodies, separate from politics and with a broad remit to investigate police misconduct.

Published: February 2023

RESUMO: A necessidade de monitoramento em estruturas aumenta a demanda por novos métodos de monitoramento, uma vez que ensaios de vibração forçada se tornam inviáveis em estruturas de grande porte. O aumento do acesso a novas tecnologias possibilita o estudo de identificação modal de estruturas utilizando somente carregamento ambiente, seguido de atualização de modelos numéricos e possíveis detecções de danos. Seguindo essa temática, realizou-se um mapeamento sistêmico em base de dados com intuito de caracterizar os estudos relacionados a esse objeto de estudo. Termos lógicos foram inseridos na busca, seguidos de filtragem de aderência de título e resumo. Após a leitura dos resumos dos 1006 artigos resultantes da pesquisa inicial, 76 foram selecionados e analisados conforme a quantidade, ano de publicação e periódico publicado. Entende-se que o crescimento dessa pesquisa se deu após o início da década de 2000, indicando o acesso a processamento como principal fator determinante para aumento do interesse por parte dos pesquisadores.
ABSTRACT: The need for monitoring in structures increases the demand for new monitoring methods, since forced vibration testing becomes unviable in large structures. Increased access to new technologies makes it possible to study the modal identification of structures using only environmental loading, followed by updating numerical models and possible damage detections. Following this theme, a systemic mapping was carried out in a database with the purpose of characterizing the studies related to this object of study. Logical terms were entered in the search, followed by title tacking and summary. After reading the abstracts of the resulting 1006 articles from the initial research, 76 were selected and analyzed according to quantity, year of publication and periodical published. It is understood that the growth of this research occurred in the beginning of the year 2000, indicating the access to processing as the main determining factor to increase the interest on the part of the researchers.

Published: February 2023

RESUMO: O município de Palmas-TO, localizado na região norte do Brasil, apresenta uma realidade climática com temperaturas altas durante todo o ano. Assim, é fundamental a busca por soluções tecnológicas que possam garantir o conforto higrotérmico nas residências, associado a reduções dos custos com energia necessária para o resfriamento da habitação. Nesta ótica, a constante inovação que o mercado mundial apresenta em produtos e técnicas voltadas para o resfriamento passivo de edificações justifica a realização de um estudo que avalie as condições higrotérmicas diante da implementação desses. O presente estudo apresenta os resultados de uma campanha experimental, com a duração de cerca de 5 meses, durante a qual foi avaliado o efeito da aplicação de diferentes técnicas de resfriamento passivo como: brise soleil, manta reflectante, ventilação natural cruzada e pintura com tinta reflectante. Para tal foram montadas duas células teste idênticas em Palmas-TO, tendo sido, em uma delas, implementadas as diferentes medidas de resfriamento passivo e a outra permanecido inalterada, para ser possível a comparação dos resultados. Verificou-se que a pintura com tinta reflectante apresentou maior redução de temperatura na média diária, obtendo seu melhor desempenho no período diurno e a ventilação natural cruzada foi a mais eficaz no período noturno. O brise soleil obteve uma redução de temperatura insignificante enquanto a manta reflectante mostrou-se nada eficaz nas condições de ensaio.
ABSTRACT: The city of Palmas-TO, located in the northern region of Brazil, has a climatic reality with high temperatures throughout the year. Thus, it is essential to search for technological solutions that can guarantee better hygrothermal comfort in dwellings, associated with reductions in the cost of energy needed to cool it down. In this perspective, the constant innovation that the world market presents in products and techniques aimed at the passive cooling of buildings justifies to carry out a study to assess the hygrothermal conditions in dwelling after implementing those products / techniques. This study presents the results of an experimental campaign, lasting about 5 months, during which the effect of different passive cooling techniques was evaluated, such as: brise soleil, low-emissivity insolation, natural cross ventilation, and painting with reflective paint. For this purpose, two identical test cells in Palmas-TO were used. On one cell the different passive cooling measures were implemented and the other remained unchanged, in order to be able to compare the results. The painting with reflective paint showed the highest reduction in temperature in the daily average, obtaining its best performance during daytime. However, natural cross ventilation was the most effective technique during nighttime. The brise soleil achieved an insignificant temperature reduction while the low-emissivity insolation proved to be ineffective in these test conditions.

Published: February 2023

The website-based information system planning of archive and financial documentation in Medical Faculty of Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta (UNS) is provided from daily observation by the author as the administration and finance documentation staff there. Sub-division of administration and financial documentation has tight relation with the recording of financial inflows in the faculty. The frequent problem is the absence of detail recording of archive transfer (incoming and outgoing archives) so that archive loss often occurs because of untracked position or last holder of archive. Surely, it affects the process of administration to be more difficult and spends longer time. Unprepared archive monitoring makes difficulty in the searching when the staff is not in the place. Based on the background above, the problem discussed in this research is how to plan website-based information system planning of archive and financial documentation Medical Faculty of UNS. The goal of this research is to make information system in order to solve the happening problem and hindering the daily activities in the finance division of the faculty. The limitation of this research is more focused on the process of incoming and outgoing archives (archive transfer), saving archive from damage and lost, then processing and monitoring speed of the most updated archive condition. The method used in this information system planning is by using System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with Waterfall model, using PHP programming language and MySQL database. The conclusion of this research is to make solutions to solve problems that are often faced by faculty in daily activities so as to create a better effective and more efficient work atmosphere, especially in setting up the storage and rescue of financial archives which is very important to store and need in the future.

The Repositioning of the Conflict Resolution in South Asia: A Key for Progressive Pakistan
Authors: Sargana Mujahid Hussain , Bukhari Sajjad , Hussain Tauqeer 
Published: February 2023

The growing international concerns and changing dimensions in terms of global strategic interests are introducing the region of South Asia an epicenter of the great games, where the political situation of bordering states like Afghanistan are making the available options less opportunistic for Pakistan to decide where to go and whom to support. Unwillingly or unfortunately after the incident of 9/11, the world politics looked towards Pakistan as a coin of long life without knowing the reservations of its democratic society against the war on terror. Under the leadership of a Democratic President, the United States of America pushed a dictator in Pakistan to legitimize an ambiguous war. It was not very simple for Pakistan to jump into hell but the presence of president Musharraf made it easy for the US to achieve its objectives. The story is not as smooth and easy-going as it looks because as a result, Pakistan had lost a lot of what we have never thought and invested to vanish. It was a step, which affected Pakistan’s well-articulated and well-managed policy in the region, particularly for India and Afghanistan. Pakistan’s acceptance and support in the US-led war on terror placed a full stop for our future options and opportunities, which eventually opened new avenues for India, a state on the waiting list. India had always believed in the inversely proportional relationship for its progress when it comes to Pakistan and as result, we are suffering a lot. Interestingly and amazingly this is not an end but a new start for progressive Pakistan. In this paper, I will try to throw some light on the future and possible opportunistic ways for Pakistan to regain its progressive pace to become an ‘Asian Tiger’ by avoiding traditional conflictual policy with India. For that, I will emphasize and explore the causes, character, prospectus, and nature of the conflict in South Asia. For a brief look at the pace of the issue, this paper will also focus on the emergence and the effects of the nuclear environment in South Asia and possible prospects for conflict resolution.
The Marble Faunin a Secular Age
Authors: Clawson Anamaria Seglie 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTThis essay examines Hawthorne’s The Marble Faun as an early expression of (post)secular imagining. Scholars have tended to frame Hawthorne’s engagement with religion as yet another example of the ambivalence that drives much of his writing. On the one hand, they identify the persistence of religious critique in his novels—his criticism of Puritanism in The Scarlet Letter or Transcendentalism in The Blithedale Romance, for example. On the other hand, they have noted his fascination with such traditions, offering readings that uncover the historical specificity of his Puritan sources and his temporary investment in Transcendentalism. Rich as they are, such readings tend to focus on his engagement with these specific religious traditions rather than note his novels’ oscillation between enchantment and disenchantment. This essay takes up this charge by examining The Marble Faun’s depiction of Catholicism, a depiction that critics have similarly read in terms of Hawthorne’s admiration or criticism of Catholicism. This essay suggests, instead, that both impulses represent Hawthorne’s lasting search for what secular studies philosopher Charles Taylor calls “a third way”; that is, a space between orthodoxy and unbelief. Rather than locate The Marble Faun as another instance of Hawthorne’s chronic ambiguity, then, this essay locates it as a prime example of the spiritual tensions marking our “secular age.”
“The Safe Secrecy of the Confessional” Catholic Sacramentals and Performativity in Hawthorne’s Writings
Authors: Oatis Amy 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTThis essay explores how Hawthorne’s exploration of Catholic sacramentals, documented in The French and Italian Notebooks, built upon his long-held interests in the intersections of sin, secrets, and confession. Hawthorne drew on these notebooks to construct the confessional scene in The Marble Faun, which reflects his speculation on how the performance of confession could impact a person’s identity. Using “The Custom-House” sketch in The Scarlet Letter to connect his American writings on confession with his European writings on confession, this essay demonstrates that Hawthorne’s writings served as his own performative acts of confession, though his obstructed observations of Catholic confessionals in Europe prevented Hawthorne from fulfilling the spiritual yearnings that he somewhat secretly confessed in his French and Italian Notebooks.
Visible Saints and Sinners: Witness and Spiritual Uncertainty in “Young Goodman Brown”
Authors: Crawford Benjamin 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTNathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” tells the story of a young Puritan who attends a satanic ceremony and ends up permanently afflicted with doubt. This essay analyzes Hawthorne’s use of the idea of witnessing throughout the tale, and the scriptural bases on which this spiritual discipline is built. Both aural and visual witnesses inspire spiritual uncertainty in “Young Goodman Brown”, an uncertainty that ends in his “dying hour of gloom.” Building on the insights of other scholars, including Edmund Morgan’s work on the visible church and Michael Colacurcio’s work on visible sanctity, this essay examines Hawthorne’s use of witnessing as a spiritual discipline and his complex use of scriptural ideas throughout the story.
Complications and Long-Term Outcomes After Prosthetic Capsule Replacement in 15 Dogs with Traumatic Hip Luxation
Authors: Redolfi Giovanna , Grand Jean-Guillaume 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTComplications and long-term clinical outcomes for 15 dogs surgically treated for traumatic craniodorsal hip luxation by prosthetic capsule replacement (PCR) with a prosthetic ligament were retrospectively reviewed. A PCR technique with capsulorrhaphy was performed in all dogs using acetabular screws with washers and a femoral tunnel as anchor points for the polyester prosthetic ligament. A non–weight-bearing sling was not placed. Minimum 1 yr follow-up period was required for study inclusion. Two major complications (13.3%) consisting of craniodorsal hip reluxation (n = 1) and capital physeal fracture (n = 1) were observed. Minor complications (superficial skin necrosis) occurred in one case (6.7 %). The patient with craniodorsal hip reluxation underwent femoral head and neck ostectomy and was excluded from long-term analysis. In the 11 cases that returned for long-term (median, 3.8 yr; range, 19–75 mo) evaluation at the authors’ institution, 10/11 of the dogs were clinically sound. Three dogs did not return for long-term evaluation. However, telephone interview with owners minimum1 yr after surgery indicated normal limb function and absence of complications in all three cases. These results suggest that PCR with polyester prosthetic ligament can be successful in maintaining hip reduction in dogs with craniodorsal hip luxation.
Urine Residual Volume in Normal Dogs Determined by Direct Measurement and Comparison to Two-Dimensional Ultrasonographic Measurement
Authors: Anderson Lisa M. , Cole Grayson , Hammond Laura J. 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTNormal urine residual volume (URV) in dogs has not previously been established by direct measurement. Twenty-two client-owned normal healthy dogs (8 female spayed, 12 male castrated, 2 male intact) without history of urinary abnormalities were included. Dogs were walked outside for 5 min to allow for natural voiding, immediately followed by urinary bladder ultrasound and urinary catheterization. The URV was recorded, and the ultrasound images were used to estimate URV for each dog. There was no significant difference between male and female URV; therefore, all data were pooled. With a 90% confidence interval, URV was 0–0.47 mL/kg with a mean URV of 0.21 mL/kg and a median value of 0.175 mL/kg. There was no significant difference between the measured URV and the ultrasound-determined URV. This case series supports previously established normal URV in the dog; however, a reference interval based on a larger population of dogs with further evaluation of body size/weight, sex, and neuter status is recommended to be established for use in clinical setting to differentiate normal urination from urinary retention in patients.
ANALYZING THE RELIABILITY OF A PERSONAL COMPUTER SYSTEM USING FAULT TREE ANALYSIS

A system can be defined as a set of components interconnected to perform a given task. Such a system has a high possibility of failure compared to a single component, since it is a combination of different components consisting of different failure types. Thus, the analysis of failures of such systems should take into account both the time to failure and the type of the failure. The specialty in multiple failure type systems is that the failure occurrences yielding from different failure types cannot be regarded as independent from each other. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) enables to address the problem of multiple failure types and it does not require the assumption of independence among failure types.
A personal computer (PC) is made up of many interconnected components. The goal of this research is to provide an insight into using FTA for evaluating reliability of PC’s which have failed due to various types of hardware failures. In this study, suitable parametric distributions were identified for each of the failure types and were applied to a fault tree constructed to depict the failure pattern of PCs. In the literature this type of research is not found in many studies which use FTA.FTA identified that hard disk, power unit and VGA failures are the most significant failure causes irrespective of the brand while the most reliable computer brand was also identified.
HR INITIATIVES FOR ENHANCING QUALITY OF HUMAN RESOURCE IN ORGANISATION
Authors: Verma Dr. Amarjot 
Published: February 2023

Nowdays businesses are being forced to make tough decisions impacting their workforce. So leaders and human resource professionals should not lose sight of the effort put forth by employees, as many are working harder to boost productivity and meet business objectives. With fewer resources and increased responsibilities due to layoffs, cutbacks and restructurings, employees are being asked to contribute at higher levels. But it is in times like this that leaders need to invest more in engaging their employees to reap the utmost commitment, productivity and focus. It is important to recognize and reward high performing employees for their resilience, hard work and loyalty during this period of recession. They need to look for innovative solutions to invest in people and demonstrate commitment to them as failure to do so may result in higher turnover once the economy rebounds. It is a leader’s responsibility to ensure their workforce is skilled and motivated in order to stay competitive and perform at the expected levels of productivity—both today and while also positioning for future success as market conditions improve.
Leaders can’t afford for their workforce to become complacent, stagnant or sustain “quit and stay” employees—those who are disengaged but won’t leave. Many people feel vulnerable now and it is an opportune time for employers to deepen loyalty. Don’t let cyclical market conditions be a distraction from creating a workforce strategy that focuses on the skilled talent needed to meet business goals—now and in the future.
