description: Specification-based regression testing of web services is an important activity which verifies the quality of web services. A major problem in web services is that only provider has the source code and both user and broker only have the XML based specification. So from the perspective of user and broker, specification based regression testing of web services is needed. The existing techniques are code based. Due to the dynamic behavior of web services, web services undergo maintenance and evolution process rapidly. Retesting of web services is required in order to verify the impact of changes. In this paper, we present an automated safe specification based regression testing approach that uses original and modified WSDL specifications for change identification. All the relevant test cases are selected as reusable hence our regression test selection approach is safe.

description: Opioid receptors mediate the actions of endogenous and exogenous opioids on many physiological processes, including the regulation of pain, respiratory drive, mood, and—in the case of κ-opioid receptor (κ-OR)—dysphoria and psychotomimesis. Here we report the crystal structure of the human κ-OR in complex with the selective antagonist JDTic, arranged in parallel dimers, at 2.9 Å resolution. The structure reveals important features of the ligand-binding pocket that contribute to the high affinity and subtype selectivity of JDTic for the human κ-OR. Modelling of other important κ-OR-selective ligands, including the morphinan-derived antagonists norbinaltorphimine and 5′-guanidinonaltrindole, and the diterpene agonist salvinorin A analogue RB-64, reveals both common and distinct features for binding these diverse chemotypes. Analysis of site-directed mutagenesis and ligand structure–activity relationships confirms the interactions observed in the crystal structure, thereby providing a molecular explanation for κ-OR subtype selectivity, and essential insights for the design of compounds with new pharmacological properties targeting the human κ-OR.

Voices from the kitchen table: (Post)Feminism and Domestic Cultures during Austerity
Creators: name: Martin, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study examines representations of feminism and domestic cultures in the UK during the period of austerity, from the election of the coalition government in 2010 until the vote on UK membership of the European Union in 2016. Given that austerity has had a disproportionate impact on women, it then follows that austerity culture requires a feminist analysis. This project provides a feminist analysis of popular culture, exploring instances of feminism in the domestic space (where austerity policy is usually felt) through an analysis of four public figures: TV host and crafting expert Kirstie Allsopp, founder of parenting forum Mumsnet Justine Roberts, environmental blogger Jen Gale and blogger and austerity chef Jack Monroe. These self-identifying feminists and mothers - who I term “austerity celebrities” – are all mediated public figures who achieved increased visibility in austerity culture. An intertextual approach was used, drawing on critical and visual discourse analysis of various texts including blogs, websites, TV programmes, newspaper interviews and Twitter sites to allow the study to add new insights into mediated motherhood and the ways in which it is politicised in times of austerity. A significant contribution of the study is the demonstration of how the postfeminist sensibility (Gill, 2007), which is intrinsically linked to consumption, has managed to adapt to retain its hegemonic hold on popular culture, despite the economic period of austerity, and the rising visibility of feminism in the UK. Through an analysis of these four case studies, my research demonstrates various ways in which domestic spaces have been re-politicised in new ways in direct response to austerity policy. This includes the ways voices from the ‘kitchen table’ have been integrated in general elections to using experiences of poverty in the domestic space to critique austerity policy. In doing so, this thesis adds to a body of literature which recognises that domestic spaces continue to be a key and legitimate site for resistance, consent and for political analysis. The study explores how domesticity experts in popular culture provide a space in which I argue that austerity policy is both discursively reinforced and resisted, allowing for feminist discourses to sit in tension with the rise in traditional femininity, and allowing for the entanglement of postfeminist discourses focused on choice and individualism to coexist alongside feminist invocations of collectivism and political action. The study also demonstrates how dominant austerity narratives which invoke thrift, nostalgia, resilience and entrepreneurial spirit as a moral imperative for women prevail throughout popular culture, even for those who are trying to challenge or actively resist these narratives.

description: Entropic uncertainty relations demonstrate the intrinsic uncertainty of nature from an information-theory perspective. Recently, a quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation for multiple measurements was proposed by Wu $et\ al.$ [Phys Rev A. 106. 062219 (2022)]. Interestingly, the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation for multiple measurement settings can be further generalized. In this work, we propose two complementary multipartite quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relations and our lower bounds depend on values of complementarity of the observables, (conditional) von-Neumann entropies, Holevo quantities, and mutual information. As an illustration, we provide several typical cases to exhibit that our bounds are tighter and outperform the previous bounds.

description: The paper analyses the total amount and the redistribution of public support in a sample survey of 1888 wine farms operating in the Verona region. The impact of public policies has been crossed with the accounting movements subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) in the years 2006-2008. The paper discusses the possibility to modify the actual system in law proposing the use of the VAT clearing mechanism to co-finance wine business structural investments. The first results of the research show that the volume of funding recovered through VAT clearing mechanism are even higher than the amount of public support given to wine companies for promoting structural investments.

La strategia europea per lo sviluppo sostenibile e gli acquisiti pubblici verdi

Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2012

description: La politica comunitaria per lo sviluppo rurale pone in rilievo l’opportunità di procedere ad un adeguato coordinamento degli interventi promossi a favore non soltanto del settore agricolo, ma dell’intero territorio rurale, stimolando gli operatori economici a realizzare iniziative di crescita economica nell’ambito di una strategia integrata di sviluppo locale. L’approccio Leader sottolinea, in particolare, l’importanza di una politica di sviluppo durevole, basata sull’adozione di strategie integrate, del partenariato e delle reti di scambi di esperienza, al fine di stimolare il potenziale di sviluppo a lungo termine dei territori rurali, agendo sulle potenzialità endogene. Il presente contributo, sulla base delle indicazioni desumibili dal quadro normativo di riferimento (comunitario e nazionale), accanto ai numerosi benefici conseguibili sotto il profilo ambientale e sociale mediante l’adozione di una strategia di acquisti verdi, intende evidenziare alcune opportunità offerte dal green public procurement (GPP) nell’ambito delle iniziative attuabili a favore dello sviluppo rurale durante l’attuale periodo di programmazione, evidenziando anche alcuni limiti che ne ostacolano una più vasta diffusione. In linea generale, tali limitazioni sembrano riconducibili alla natura non obbligatoria di tale istituto e alla scarsa natura incentivante sotto il profilo finanziario che tale strumento assume per le amministrazioni pubbliche locali, analogamente a quanto rinvenibile con riferimento ad altre esperienze finalizzate a migliorare le performance ambientali delle pubbliche amministrazioni, come Agenda 21 locale. Il contributo mira anche a evidenziare le opportunità di sviluppo conseguibili attraverso la diffusione del GPP, che, insieme ad una crescente attenzione e diffusione dei principi del Life Cycle Assessment e della contabilità ambientale, può contribuire a raggiungere importanti risultati dal punto di vista sociale e in termini di sostenibilità ambientale, non soltanto nel lungo periodo, ma anche in una prospettiva di breve termine.

subject: Ngā taonga Māori nō mua (Māori artefacts)

description: Taonga Māori (Māori treasures) provide vitality, inspiration, and resilience to their community. Digital representations of taonga Māori offer opportunities to interact with and share taonga that may not be physically accessible due to being held in museums or private collections, or due to the people with connections to the taonga residing away from their communities. However, it is not clear how taonga should be represented digitally, and whether current tools can support appropriate interactions with taonga. This paper sets out a collaborative research approach employing prototypes to support conversations with Rongowhakaata Iwi Trust in Aotearoa New Zealand about their needs and priorities around digital taonga. These conversations are part of an ongoing research project between the Trust and university academics in which we aim to design infrastructure and processes that align with traditional knowledge practices and tribal worldviews. Through these conversations, we were able to identify design considerations for digitising taonga as well as for the software applications in which the digital representations of taonga may be embedded.

description: The mechanical properties of azobenzene-containing polymer films are statistically measured by instrumented nanoindentation experiment in the dark and under illumination in the absorption band of the azobenzene molecules, with special emphasis on the creep behavior and recoverability. We use Dispersed Red 1 azobenzene derivatives, which remain in the stable trans isomer state in the dark and form a dynamical photo-stationary state between cis and trans isomer under illumination. Light induces a higher change in the film hardness than in the elastic stiffness, revealing the occurrence of a visco-plastic behavior of the film under illumination. Creep experiments performed at a constant load show a striking dissipative effect linked to the mass flowing under polarized illumination.

description: Recent work suggests that technological devices and their use cannot be understood in isolation, and must be viewed as part of an artifact ecology. With the proliferation of information and communication technologies (ICTs), studying artifact ecologies is essential in order to design new technologies with effective affordances. This paper extends the discourse on artifact ecologies by examining how such ecologies are constructed in the context of mobile knowledge work, as sociotechnical arrangements that consist of technological, contextual, and interpretive layers. Findings highlight the diversity of ICTs that are adopted to support mobile work practices, and effects of individual preferences and contextual factors (norms of collaboration, spatial mobility, and organizational constraints).

description: Coupled-cluster calculations of static electronic dipole polarizabilities for 145 organic molecules are performed to create a reference data set. The molecules are composed from carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, sulfur, chlorine, and bromine atoms. They range in size from triatomics to 14 atoms. The Hartree-Fock and 2nd-order Møller-Plesset methods and 34 density functionals, including local functionals, global hybrid functionals, and range-separated functionals of the long-range-corrected and screened-exchange varieties, are tested against this data set. On the basis of the test results, detailed recommendations are made for selecting density functionals for polarizability computations on relatively small organic molecules.

Scenari valutativi delle politiche strutturali e nazionali in ambito urbano: l’esperienza della Regione Abruzzo

Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2012

description: Le politiche urbane e del territorio vivono una fase di profonda trasformazione, caratterizzata dal passaggio a nuovi approcci e nuovi strumenti operativi. Alla chiusura di un periodo caratterizzato sul piano strategico dall’esigenza di superare la rigidità del piano urbanistico, cui è corrisposta sul piano operativo un’estrema frammentarietà degli strumenti e delle tipologie di intervento, fa oggi seguito, dietro la spinta dell’impulso della politica urbana europea e di nuove esigenze per il finanziamento degli interventi legate alla carenza di risorse pubbliche, una fase di ripensamento complessivo della strategia e degli strumenti operativi. Le nuove politiche per il territorio pongono due temi centrali: le Piattaforme Territoriali strategiche individuate dal Ministero delle Infrastrutture come stimolo ed opportunità per le Regioni di elaborare loro ipotesi interpretative del territorio, ed i Piani strategici delle città, le quali risultano identificate come luoghi di concentrazione delle potenzialità e delle eccellenze, motori dello sviluppo territoriale in chiave competitiva. Tali tematiche pongono la necessità – per progetti ad elevata complessità – di ampliare l’orizzonte delle analisi valutative, cercando di cogliere “se e in che misura” gli effetti prodotti sul territorio siano tali da incidere sullo sviluppo complessivo delle città. In tal senso, per un effettivo impiego della valutazione ai fini della programmazione, si propone una maggiore attenzione per un uso critico della accountability e si riportano alcune considerazioni scaturite da approfondimenti specifici di carattere metodologico su recenti documenti emanati dalla Commissione Europea per il periodo 2007- 13. Il lavoro offre un inquadramento generale della politica urbana regionale e dei relativi strumenti operativi implementati in Abruzzo nel corso dell’ultimo decennio, e cofinanziati dai Fondi Strutturali e Nazionali (FAS). Le criticità emerse in fase di valutazione intermedia degli interventi attivati nel periodo 2000-06 forniscono alcuni spunti di riflessione sulla necessità di migliorare il processo valutativo in funzione dei bisogni strategici dei decisori. In particolare, vista l’esigenza di condividere il processo di valutazione con numerosi soggetti interessati, e a fronte della carente visione sistemica emergente dalla numerosità degli strumenti operativi in atto in ambito urbano, si suggeriscono approcci valutativi maggiormente orientati a verificare l’adeguatezza dei risultati rispetto agli impatti globali del programma sul territorio.

description: A structural order parameter for disordered configurations is defined, based, not on local topologies, but on the degree of local restraint imposed on each atom. This restraint parameter provides a clear distinction between a strong liquid (SiO2) and a fragile liquid (a binary Lennard-Jones mixture) without reference to dynamics. Where the fragile liquid exhibits an abrupt transition from unrestrained to restrain below the melting point, molten silica is highly constrained even at equilibrium. We determine the temperature dependence of the average number of particles restrained per pinned particle and consider the feature of the potential energy landscape responsible for determining the fragility.

description: Open clusters are known as excellent tracers of the structure and chemical evolution of the Galactic disk, however, the accuracy and reliability of open cluster parameters is poorly known. In recent years, several studies aimed to present homogeneous open cluster parameter compilations, which are based on some different approaches and photometric data. These catalogues are excellent sources to facilitate testing of the actual accuracy of open cluster parameters. We compare seven cluster parameter compilations statistically and with an external sample, which comprises the mean results of individual studies. Furthermore, we selected the objects IC 4651, NGC 2158, NGC 2383, NGC 2489, NGC 2627, NGC 6603, and Trumpler 14, with the main aim to highlight differences in the fitting solutions. We derived correction terms for each cluster parameter, using the external calibration sample. Most results by the compilations are reasonable scaled, but there are trends or constant offsets of different degree. We also identified one data set, which appears too erroneous to allow adjustments. After the correction, the mean intrinsic errors amount to about 0.2 dex for the age, 0.08 mag for the reddening, and 0.35 mag for the distance modulus. However, there is no study that characterises the cluster morphologies of all test cases in a correct and consistent manner. Furthermore, we found that the largest compilations probably include at least 20 percent of problematic objects, for which the parameters differ significantly. These could be among others doubtful or unlikely open clusters that do not facilitate an unambiguous fitting solution.

description: Differential privacy is a widely accepted measure of privacy in the context of deep learning algorithms, and achieving it relies on a noisy training approach known as differentially private stochastic gradient descent (DP-SGD). DP-SGD requires direct noise addition to every gradient in a dense neural network, the privacy is achieved at a significant utility cost. In this work, we present Spectral-DP, a new differentially private learning approach which combines gradient perturbation in the spectral domain with spectral filtering to achieve a desired privacy guarantee with a lower noise scale and thus better utility. We develop differentially private deep learning methods based on Spectral-DP for architectures that contain both convolution and fully connected layers. In particular, for fully connected layers, we combine a block-circulant based spatial restructuring with Spectral-DP to achieve better utility. Through comprehensive experiments, we study and provide guidelines to implement Spectral-DP deep learning on benchmark datasets. In comparison with state-of-the-art DP-SGD based approaches, Spectral-DP is shown to have uniformly better utility performance in both training from scratch and transfer learning settings.

While paying an attention to an overall view of this subject lasting long over the two decades, we probe several corners marked in the three major stages of the developments, emphasizing uses of the deformation theory on the attendant Riemann surface as well as its close relation to matrix models. Examples picked here in different contexts tell us that the effective prepotential is to be identified as the suitably defined free energy $F$ of a matrix model: ${\cal F} = F$.

description: Il paper tratta l’argomento degli obiettivi di servizio nella programmazione unitaria, ovvero di uno strumento finanziario premiale promosso dal Ministero dello Sviluppo Economico allo scopo di incentivare la concentrazione delle risorse programmate dalle regioni per il periodo 2007-2013 su quattro ambiti relativi a servizi ritenuti “essenziali”. Il paper si divide in due parti. Nella prima parte si illustra il quadro di riferimento normativo per gli obiettivi di servizio, la genesi, il ruolo che assolvono nella nuova programmazione, le risorse in gioco e il meccanismo per l’attribuzione delle risorse premiali in relazione al raggiungimento dei target prefissati. Nella seconda parte gli obiettivi di servizio vengono collocati nella più ampia cornice degli strumenti per l’attuazione delle politiche pubbliche di sviluppo del territorio, ricercandone il nesso con le strategie di assetto territoriale delle regioni in termini reali e potenziali.

AHA/ACC Guidelines for Preventing Heart Attack and Death in Patients With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: 2001 Update: A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology

description: "Since the original publication (in 1995) of the American Heart Association (AHA) consensus statement on secondary prevention, which was endorsed by the American College of Cardiology (ACC), important evidence from clinical trials has emerged that further supports the merits of aggressive risk reduction therapies for patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. As noted in that statement, aggressive risk factor management clearly improves patient survival, reduces recurrent events and the need for interventional procedures, and improves the quality of life for these patients. The compelling evidence from recent clinical trials was the impetus to revise the 1995 guidelines (Table). As examples, the many lipid reduction trials have generated significant changes in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s Adult Treatment Panel III report. This report further defined target cholesterol levels, expanded indications for drug treatment, and initiated therapy earlier. Accumulating β-blocker data have resulted in broader indications for a larger patient group. The Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation (HOPE) trial has demonstrated the benefit of ACE inhibitor therapy in high-risk patients with cardiovascular disease without a history of an acute event. Further data from ongoing trials should provide insight into the potential benefits of treating lower risk patients with combined therapies. The Clopidogrel versus Aspirin in Patients at Risk of Ischemic Events (CAPRIE) trial has provided evidence for clopidogrel benefit in certain patients. Diabetes management recommendations have been updated to include recent guidelines from the American Diabetes Association for risk factor management of diabetics and the growing body of evidence showing diabetics at high risk for cardiovascular events. The Heart and Estrogen/progestin Replacement Study (HERS) documented that hormone replacement therapy is ineffective for secondary prevention. The writing group revising this document also considered other important trials and reports, and they are included in the selected reading list."

description: A trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, being strongly perturbed, exhibits several spatial structures. First, there appear quantum vortices. Increasing the amount of the injected energy leads to the formation of vortex tangles representing quantum vortex turbulence. Continuing energy injection makes the system so strongly perturbed that vortices become destroyed and there develops another kind of spatial structures with essentially heterogeneous spatial density. These structures consist of high-density droplets, or grains, surrounded by the regions of low density. The droplets are randomly distributed in space, where they can move; however they live sufficiently long time to be treated as a type of metastable creatures. Such structures have been observed in nonequilibrium trapped Bose gases of $^{87}$Rb subject to the action of an oscillatory perturbation modulating the trapping potential. Perturbing the system even stronger transforms the droplet structure into wave turbulence, where Bose condensate is destroyed. Numerical simulations are in good agreement with experimental observations.

description: Research objective is to conceive, design and experiment a strategy at wide city scale to contribute facing the global ecological and energy crises of the Planet. This should be done through structural cut-down of fossil fuel consumption for settlements, i.e. by adopting the lowest cost energy: the not-consumed one! According to the Green Building Practices there are goals that can be achieved mainly through building passivation connected to: application of state-of-the-art sustainable technologies; alternative energy sources; diffusion of zero-mile decentralized solar energy production; fostering-up of solar feeding for summer air-conditioning, i.e. one of the most demanding energy consumers of the world. Owners, investors, contractors, occupants, tenants ask for more information and better quantification of energy saving magnitude in Green Buildings, as well as further appraisal of pay-back period i.e the length of time required for the return or re-payment of the additional larger initial investment. Research tries to conceive a methodology to assess in physical and monetary terms the energy saving and to define in financial terms the initial investment pay-back period at a reasonable rate. Proposed methodology has been tested in a first Case Study set-up at urban level and performed on a urban blocks of a Mediterranean medium size town including real world prototype yard, i.e. chantier, integrating passivation with the adoption of key frontier technologies such as sun chiller and solar cooling.

description: Als relativ junge Disziplin untersucht die Rechtslinguistik Relationen zwischen Recht und Sprache – besonders die Charakteristika der Erscheinungsformen von Sprache im Kontext des Rechts. Nach einer ersten Definition des Begriffs erfolgt hier dessen Abgrenzung von der forensischen Linguistik. Im Anschluss werden die einzelnen Themenfelder der Rechtslinguistik vorgestellt und näher beleuchtet. Dabei handelt es sich um die Rechtssprache als Fachsprache, juristische Semantik, Kommunikation vor Gericht und die Mehrsprachigkeit des Rechts. Zum Schluss werden Merkmale und Funktionen von Rechtssprache vorgestellt, bevor es abschließend um Verständlichkeits- und Auslegungskritik an der Rechtssprache geht.
description: As a relatively young discipline, legal linguistics researches relations between law and language – specifically the characteristics of manifestations of language in the context of the law. After an initial definition of the term, this article draws a line between legal and forensic linguistics, another branch of linguistics that is frequently applied in the context of law enforcement. Subsequently, individual thematic areas of legal linguistics are introduced and examined more closely. They include legal language as a technical language, legal semantics, communication in court and the multilingualism of the law. The article introduces certain characteristics and functions of legal language, as they have been determined by legal linguistics, and closes with a discussion of critical claims concerning the (lack of) comprehensibility of legal language as well as the interpretation of legal texts.

description: Depression is a global issue due to its prevalence and debilitative nature. Depression has been a long-standing mood disorder affecting many aspects in a person's life. This study focuses on the negativity bias theory displayed by individuals scoring high on depressive symptoms when viewing emotional stimuli. Based on previous research on negativity bias in depressed individuals, two hypotheses were tested: (1) The valence scores are lower for individuals scoring higher on depressive symptoms when rating high arousal, low valence images, and (2) a magnified LPP amplitude is observed for more depressed individuals when viewing high arousal images with low valence. Participants (N=131) were university students (Mage= 20.8). The International Affective Picture System (IAPS) images were used as stimuli, and scalp event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to determine levels of depressive symptoms and categorize participants into low, middle, and high levels of depressive symptoms groups. Each participant rated the subjective valence (pleasantness) and arousal experienced with each stimulus image. The late-positive potential (LPP) ERP component amplitude changes at the Pz scalp electrode (extended 10/20 system) were focused on in the low valence–high arousal condition. Two one-way ANOVA’s and Tukey post-hoc tests were conducted on the data. Results showed significantly lower LPP amplitudes and higher mean valence ratings for individuals scoring higher on depressive symptoms compared to the low and mid depressed groups. Based on the results, both hypotheses are rejected as more depressed individuals show flattened emotional responses to highly arousing, unpleasant stimuli.

description: The Kilo Degree survey (KiDS) is a large-scale optical imaging survey carried out with the VLT Survey Telescope (VST), which is the ideal tool for galaxy evolution studies. We expect to observe millions of galaxies for which we extract the structural parameters in four wavebands (u, g, r and i). This sample will represent the largest dataset with measured structural parameters up to a redshift $z=0.5$. In this paper we will introduce the sample, and describe the 2D fitting procedure using the 2DPHOT environment and the validation of the parameters with an external catalog.

description: In this paper, a total of approximately 2.6 million dwarfs were constructed as standard stars, with an accuracy of about 0.01-0.02 mag for each band, by combining spectroscopic data from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope Data Release 7, photometric data from the corrected Gaia Early Data Release 3, and photometric metallicities. Using the spectroscopy based stellar color regression method (SCR method) and the photometric-based SCR method (SCR' method), we performed the relative calibration of the Nanshan One-meter Wide-field Telescope imaging data. Based on the corrected Pan-STARRS DR1 photometry, the absolute calibration was also performed. In the photometric calibration process, we analyzed the dependence of the calibration zero points on different images (observation time), different gates of the CCD detector, and different CCD positions. We found that the stellar flat and the relative gain between different gates depend on time. The amplitude of gain variation in three channels is approximately 0.5%-0.7% relative to the other channel, with a maximum value of 4%. In addition, significant spatial variations of the stellar flat fitting residual are found and corrected. Using repeated sources in the adjacent images, we checked and discovered internal consistency of about 1-2 mmag in all the filters. Using the PS1 magnitudes synthesized by Gaia DR3 BP/RP spectra by the synthetic photometry method, we found that the photometric calibration uniformity is about 1-2 mmag for all the bands, at a spatial resolution of 1.3 degree. A detailed comparison between the spectroscopy-based SCR and photometric-based SCR method magnitude offsets was performed, and we achieved an internal consistency precision of about 2 mmag or better with resolutions of 1.3 degree for all the filters. Which is mainly from the position-dependent errors of the E(B-V) used in SCR' method.

Administrative Structures for Education Programs

description: Discussions about the way to organize and manage an education program within a library usually result in three options: a librarian within the reference department is assigned responsibility for the program, a coordinator is appointed with authority to enlist the help of librarians throughout the organization, or a separate department is established to run the program. Two years ago, the staff of Information Management Education Services (IME) in the Health Sciences Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discussed other options as part of a strategic planning effort underway at the library. Nine possible models came out of a series of brainstorming sessions. These are outlined below with the advantages and disadvantages of each structure as viewed from the IME department setting. Major considerations underlying these models were the level of visibility that the model would provide to education, whether staff would be shared with other departments, and where leadership for educational programs would reside. The models are not listed in any particular order.

description: Shakespeares Dramen sind die einflussreichsten literarischen Texte englischer Sprache. In der Fülle seines Oeuvres findet sich nicht eine durchgehende und konsistente Vorstellung von 'dem Recht', die der Autor verfochten hätte, doch potentielle Konflikte zwischen Recht und Gerechtigkeit werden in etlichen Stücken in vielfältig aufschlussreicher und diskursprägender Weise durchgespielt. In der Tat erscheinen Recht und Gerechtigkeit in vielen Stücken Shakespeares als zentrale Themen, wobei das Spektrum vom manifesten Unrecht königlicher Weisungen bis zu bürgerlichen Pflichten reicht. Dementsprechend wurden einige dieser Stücke für die "Law and Literature"- Bewegung von Beginn an zu immer wieder diskutierten Standardbeispielen.
description: As the most influential text in the English language, Shakespeare's works have been a staple for the law and literature movement since its early beginnings. Law and justice are major themes in many of the plays and their dramatisation ranges from kings' incompetence to civil ethics. Given the range of the plays, there is no monolithic idea of 'the law' that Shakespeare worked with but the potential conflict between law and justice finds itself in more plays than one. Accordingly, Shakespeare has been regarded a useful instrument in law schools all over this world since the early 20th century and the literary side of the law and literature movement has produced innumerable works on 'the law' in Shakespeare.
