Discourses of community : reconciling social work and community development
Creators: name: Lynn, Margaret Lilian
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research involves examining the current, highly individualising and specialised nature of social work, and its capacity to respond to a more political agenda of community development and community building. It emerges from action research that I conducted with a group of social workers in which we examined the challenges in reconceptualising their practice to include a greater community orientation. The thesis explores the origins of professional social work in nineteenth century liberalism and the rise of the ‘social’, and it draws on Foucauldian notions of governmentality and discourse to analyse the potential for community to exert collaborative agency, while also responding to demands for ‘governing at a distance’. I develop a typology of competing discourses of community that are evident in the literature, in policy and in practice, and apply these to my analysis. In concluding, I develop a model for community practice to integrate my critique. While the research commenced as a traditional doctorate, three years and four articles into the process, I resolved that my original objectives could be met as effectively by converting to a PhD by Publication. The resulting thesis comprises nine chapters: a framing chapter, three chapters linking each of the four refereed papers published during the period of candidature, and a concluding chapter. The framing chapter provides the intellectual context for the total project, and the linking chapters serve to supplement the theoretical analysis with specific discussion relating to the discursive commonalities and interconnections between the chapters. The conclusion seeks an integration of the project in a model that develops an approach to social work that reconciles the critique explored throughout the research.
Haemonchus contortus infection : investigation of rejection mechanisms in resistant sheep
Creators: name: Robinson, Nicholas Anthony
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Infection with Haemonchus contortus is a serious disease of livestock, particularly sheep in both Australia and around the world, and results in production loss and quite often death. However the interaction between H. contortus and the host remains poorly understood. To develop better protection and prevention strategies, further understanding of the host-parasite relationship is required. In this thesis the host response to H. contortus infection was examined with particular focus on immunological mechanisms by which resistant sheep can reject or kill incoming larvae. Contrasting resistance mechanisms were identified based on cellular and molecular profiles in the abomasal mucosa after differing H. contortus immunisation protocols. The data suggest that there are at least two different immune-based mechanisms utilised by the host to reject or kill incoming larvae. Depending on the immunisation protocol, resistant sheep could mount either a delayed rejection response likely based on mucosal eosinophils, or a rapid rejection response based on mucosal mast cells and globule leucocytes. The delayed rejection response showed a clear type II immune bias with mucosal upregulation of interleukin (IL) -4, 5, 13 and galectin-15 mRNA and protein following larval challenge. In contrast, sheep able to rapidly reject H. contortus larvae showed a marked abomasal mucosal mast cell, globule leucocyte and intraepithelial lymphocyte hyperplasia. This was confirmed by an ex vivo tissue explant model showing that resistant sheep with abomasal mucosal mast cell/ globule leucocyte hyperplasia could reject larvae using an immediate hypersensitivity mechanism. Characterisation of intraepithelial lymphocytes in resistant sheep also suggests that these cells may play an important role in the rapid rejection response. In conclusion, this thesis has examined different aspects of H. contortus larval rejection in sheep after hyperimmunisation and has shown some promising results that strongly suggest there are at least two different immunological mechanisms of H. contortus rejection. The foundations of both an in vivo and ex vivo model of H. contortus infection for use in further research on multiple mechanisms of host resistance to H. contortus have been established, and will provide valuable tools for investigation of these complex areas in both an experimental and field setting.

description: This article analyses the division of decision power within couples. Based on data from the second wave of the panel study “Labour Market and Social Security”, the allocation of power between the spouses is studied with special regard to couples receiving the German „Unemployment Benefit II“. In deprived circumstances, decisions on major purchases are more often made solely by the woman. On the other hand, decisions on leisure time activities among these couples are less often taken by the women alone. Multinomial logistic regressions indicate that the distribution of decision power among couples in receipt of benefits is governed by other factors than among couples without receipt. The influence of the economic resources that both partners contribute is only visible in the non-recipient group. In both groups, modern gender role attitudes are often connected with a more egalitarian decision-making process regarding major purchases. Again for decisions about leisure time activities, this relation can only be found among the non-recipients. Apart from these, we find additional factors influencing the division of decision power, like individuals with low education deciding more egalitarian in the Unemployment Benefit II group. Zusammenfassung Der vorliegende Artikel analysiert die Aussagen von Paaren zur Verteilung der Entscheidungsmacht innerhalb der Partnerschaft. Mit den Daten der zweiten Welle der Panelbefragung „Arbeitsmarkt und soziale Sicherung“ wird insbesondere die Machtverteilung bei Paaren in materiell prekären Lagen untersucht, die wir über den Arbeitslosengeld-II-Bezug (ALG II, ugs. „Hartz IV“) definieren. Über größere Anschaffungen entscheidet in prekären Lagen eher die Frau alleine. Die Freizeitgestaltung wird dagegen bei diesen Paaren seltener alleine von der Frau bestimmt. In multinomialen, logistischen Regressionsmodellen zeigt sich, dass für die Verteilung der Entscheidungsmacht bei den ALG-II-Paaren z.T. andere Einflussfaktoren maßgeblich sind als bei Paaren ohne Bezug. Die ökonomischen Ressourcen, die die beiden Partner in die Partnerschaft einbringen, haben im Wesentlichen nur für Paare ohne ALG-II-Bezug Bedeutung. Eine modernere Geschlechterrolleinstellung ist unseren Analysen nach in beiden Gruppen häufiger mit einem egalitären Entscheidungsverhalten bzgl. größerer Anschaffungen verknüpft. Bei Entscheidungen über die Freizeitgestaltung ist dieser Einfluss wiederum nur bei den Nicht-Beziehern zu finden. Daneben zeigen sich weitere Faktoren, die die Verteilung der Entscheidungsmacht beeinflussen. Auffällig ist z.B. das egalitärere Entscheidungsverhalten von Personen mit niedriger Bildung im ALG-II-Bezug.

Einfluss der Bildung der Frau auf das Zweitgeburtsverhalten in Polen während der sozioökonomischen Transformation

description: Since the collapse of state socialism in Poland in 1989, a rapid decline in fertility has been observed in parallel with educational expansion. Polish women with university degree tend to postpone their childbearing, and often have fewer children than their less educated counterparts. Thus, an increase in the number of highly educated women may have an impact on the future fertility development of a country. The birth of a first child is fairly universal in women’s lives in Poland, hence, this study focuses on the transition to the second child. Using the Employment, Family and Educational Survey (2006), several piecewise exponential models were estimated. The analyses reveal a strong negative effect of women’s education on the second birth risk. We conclude that Polish women with university degree are exposed to higher opportunity costs, and these are not addressed adequately by existing family policies and labour market regulations related to working mothers. Zusammenfassung In Polen wurde nach dem Systemumbruch im Jahr 1989 ein starker Geburteneinbruch beobachtet, der nahezu parallel von einer Bildungsexpansion begleitet wurde. Der schnell steigende Anteil junger hoch gebildeter Frauen sollte sich stark auf die zukünftige Fertilitätsentwicklung Polens auswirken, denn Akademikerinnen bekommen nicht nur später, sondern auch weniger Kinder. Die Studie lenkt den Fokus auf das Zweitgeburtsverhalten, da die Geburt des ersten Kindes in Polen weiterhin als universell gilt. Die empirischen Ergebnisse auf Basis des Employment, Family and Education Surveys (2006) zeigen eine mit steigendem Bildungsniveau signifikant sinkende Zweitgeburtenrate. Hochschulabsolventinnen sind in Polen mit hohen Opportunitätskosten konfrontiert, die nur eingeschränkt von den geltenden familienpolitischen Maßnahmen und Arbeitsmarktregulierungen minimiert werden.

description: The population dynamics of two species was studied for one year on Craney Island in Portsmouth, Virginia. This dredge disposal site provided good habitat for the house mouse, Mus musculus, whose opportunistic behaviors can withstand the sudden changes in a dynamic environment. Although the site was not optimal habitat, a population of Microtus pennsylvanicus, the meadow vole, was sustained there. Of the seven species of small mammals captured, 65% were house mice and 28% were meadow voles. Meadow voles were more successful at establishing short periods of residency than were house mice; on average, each meadow vole was captured three times and each house mouse was captured only twice. No significant differences from a 1:1 ratio were found for house mice in the overall sex ratio (total number of captures and total number of animals tagged), and the sex ratio did not deviate from a ratio of unity during any month of the study. Sex ratio in meadow voles deviated from unity in three months of the study and in the total number of captures and tagged individuals. There were more males in all cases. House mice reached a peak density of 104 individuals per ha in the first autumn of the study (1989); meadow voles peaked at 41 individuals per ha in early autumn 1990. Both populations had an even-aged age structure during the year. The breeding seasons of the two species were asynchronous, with the house mice having a shorter breeding season. Lifespans for both species were rather short due to a low recapture rate. The most commonly used habitat type was Phragmites australis (=communis), perhaps because it provided the most cover.

„Living apart together“: Sechs Typen einer heterogenen Lebensform
Creators: name: Lois, Nadia
Publisher: name: Journal of Family Research
Year: 2012

description: Based on data of the German Family Panel (pairfam) (respondents aged 15 to 37), this study explores different types of partnerships with separate households (“living apart together”, LAT). A cluster analysis suggests that the initial classification into three types of LAT (precursor to cohabitation, work-related long-distance relationship or deliberately chosen living arrangement) has to be qualified. Among adolescents, the precursor type splits up into two subtypes, which mainly differ in the degree of commitment to the partner. Although couples in the cluster "work-related LAT" live particularly far apart, their relationship quality is somewhat higher than expected. Furthermore, a cluster of high-conflict partnerships is found. However, there is no clear evidence of LAT as a deliberately chosen arrangement. In addition to the cluster analysis, it is examined longitudinally whether the six clusters differ systematically with regard to the propensity of subsequent cohabitation and partnership dissolution, respectively. Zusammenfassung In dieser Studie wird mit Daten des Beziehungs- und Familienpanels (pairfam) (Befragte zwischen 15 und 37 Jahre) überprüft, in welchen Erscheinungsformen Partnerschaften mit getrennten Haushalten („living apart together“, LAT) auftreten. Die heuristische Einteilung in die Typen Vorstufe, berufsbedingte Fernbeziehung und Beziehungsideal erweist sich dabei teilweise als fruchtbar, muss jedoch nach den Ergebnissen einer Clusteranalyse weiter differenziert werden. Der vor allem bei Jugendlichen anzutreffende Vorstufen-Typ spaltet sich in zwei Unterformen, eine unverbindliche und eine stärker verfestigte Form, auf. Berufsbedingte LAT-Partnerschaften zeichnen sich erwartungsgemäß durch einen hohen Anteil von Doppelverdienerpaaren und eine überdurchschnittliche Wohnortentfernung aus, sind aber in ihrer Partnerschaftsqualität weniger eingeschränkt als erwartet. Während darüber hinaus ein Cluster von stark konfliktbehafteten LAT-Partnerschaften identifiziert werden kann, finden sich keine eindeutigen Hinweise auf die Existenz der LAT als Beziehungsideal. Im Anschluss an die Clusteranalyse wird im Längsschnitt überprüft, inwieweit sich die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Trennung bzw. einer Haushaltsgründung zwischen den sechs LAT-Typen innerhalb von 12 Monaten unterscheidet.

description: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey of a total of 985 families (parents and children) of 3rd, 4th and 6th graders at different levels in the tripartite German school system was conducted to gain insight into socialization variables connected with maternal employment as to their impact on pupils’ social-emotional competencies. Fathers’ participation in household and educational tasks (answered by fathers), mothers’ well-being and mode of parenting (both answered by mothers) were postulated to mediate between mothers’ employment and social-emotional competencies of the children. Mediation analyses showed that fathers’ participation mediated the correlation between mothers’ employment and mental health. Authoritative parenting partially mediated the correlation between mothers’ well-being and children’s social- emotional competencies as seen by their mothers. No direct correlation was found between maternal employment and social-emotional competencies. Statistical path analyses revealed that congruence of desired and practiced working status was more relevant for mothers’ well-being and children’s social-emotional competencies than the amount of hours mothers worked. Zusammenfassung Bei 985 vollständigen Familien mit Kindern der 3., 4. und 6. Klassen aus Grundschulen, Hauptschulen, Realschulen und Gymnasien wurde in einer Querschnittsuntersuchung die Beziehung zwischen der Berufstätigkeit der Mutter und sozial- emotionalen Kompetenzen der Kinder untersucht. Die Aufgabenübernahme des Vaters (erfragt´vom Vater), das Wohlbefinden und der praktizierte Erziehungsstil der Mutter (erfragt von der Mutter) wurden als vermittelnde Variablen für den postulierten Zusammenhang angenommen. In Mediatoranalysen der Fragebogendaten wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen Berufstätigkeit und seelischer Gesundheit der Mutter durch die väterliche Aufgabenbeteiligung vermittelt. Für den Zusammenhang zwischen mütterlichem Wohlbefinden und den von den Müttern eingeschätzten sozialemotionalen Kompetenzen der Kinder erwies sich ein autoritativer Erziehungsstil als partieller Mediator. Zwischen dem Umfang der mütterlichen Berufstätigkeit und sozial-emotionalen Kompetenzen der Kinder konnten keine direkten Zusammenhänge gefunden werden, von Bedeutung war jedoch die Kongruenz zwischen gewünschtem und tatsächlichem beruflichem Status der Mutter.

Обосновано, что страховой полис является исключительной формой договора личного страхования, в частности договора страхования жизни и здоровья, со своими особенностями: страховой полис подписывается только страховщиком, принимается страхователем, что подтверждает его согласие с условиями договора, и содержит все существенные условия договора. Выводы: именно правильное заключение договора страхования жизни и здоровья и соблюдение его формы позволяют выстроить рациональные страховые отношения между страховщиком и страхователем, т.к. при допущении ошибки на этой стадии зарождения данных правоотношений договор может быть признан недействительным.
Three essays on development and labour economics
Creators: name: Islam, Asadul
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis is a collection of three self-contained papers in development and labour economics. The first two chapters study the impact of microfinance programs using a new, large and unique cross-section dataset from Bangladesh. Chapter 1 evaluates the impact of microfinance programs on household consumption. The program eligibility requirement and the richness of the data allowed the use of a number of non-experimental impact evaluation techniques, in particular Instrumental Variable (IV) estimation and Propensity Score Matching (PSM). Estimates from both IV and PSM strategies have been interpreted as average causal effects that are valid for various groups of participants in microfinance. The overall results indicate that the effects of micro loans on consumption are not robust across all groups of poor household borrowers. It appears that the poorest of the poor participants are among those who benefit most. The benefits are lower, or sometimes even negative, for households that are marginal to the participation decision. The effects of participation are, in general, stronger for male borrowers. Chapter 2 uses a similar methodology to examine the impact of these microfinance programs on child welfare, specifically on school attendance and child labour in rural Bangladesh. The empirical results indicate that household participation in a microcredit program may increase child labour and reduce school enrolment. The effects are more pronounced for girls than boys, and they appear to vary inversely with age, with younger children tending to be strongly affected. The estimated effects also vary by income, education and asset holding of households such that the children of poorer and less educated households are affected most adversely. Finally Chapter 3, employing similar econometric techniques for estimating causal effects, investigates the impact of the changing skill composition of immigrant flows on the structure of Australian wages. Immigrants may self-select to join labour markets in the better performing industrial countries. We address the resulting endogeneity problem using different IV techniques. While existing studies typically use cross-section data, we use macro data to allow for the adjustment of wages and aggregate demand to immigration flows. Our estimation strategies generate results that are consistent with the dominant findings from existing empirical work. We find no robust evidence that a relative increase in skilled immigrants exerts any discernible adverse consequences on the wage structure in Australia.

Becoming wild place: a theatre of connection
Creators: name: Pitman, Kym Heather
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this thesis I use post-modern emergent arts-based methodology (Somerville, 2005) to explore how young people come to know themselves through wild places. I respond to the need identified by educational theorists, for frameworks in education which, while attempting to address current social and ecological crisis, foster deeply connective experiences in natural landscapes and the relearning and enlivening of perceptual acuity. Along side my own observations and reflections, I explore multiple creative representations of embodied experience, including journalling, poetry, song, sculpture, dance and theatre, to understand a process of becoming in relation to the phenomena of wild places. I focus firstly on two treks with young people, one through the Northern Flinders Ranges and one through the Guy Fawkes River Gorge. Utilising and building on these experiences, the research then moves into a wilderness theatre project involving a third trek and a three phase process of data collection and analysis. Correspondingly, the reader journeys through a wild place, a series of theatre workshops and a dramatic performance with a group of young people as they embody, articulate and represent their experience. The drama process serves as an innovative method of analysis both stimulating re-embodiment of participant experience and as an in-between space of creative production through which to assemble data into a collective representation. As the research unfolds, critical pedagogy of place (Gruenwald, 2003c), traditional rites of passage (Turner, 1982) and wilderness theatre (Pitman, 2003) become integrated through a post structural understanding of the self as process. From this emerges a lens through which young people’s experience in wild places can be understood as embodying a sense of belonging to the earth in new storylines of connection.

Advancements in robust fault reconstruction using sliding mode observers
Creators: name: Ng, Kok Yew
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: With the massive growth of technologies used in the industry, more is expected from the control systems. Issues such as safety, efficiency and economical operation of the systems and the equipment are of utmost importance as these systems are expected to perform complicated and complex tasks. Hence, there is an essential need for fault detection and isolation. This thesis describes the developments and advancements in the use of sliding mode observers for the purpose of robust fault reconstruction. Existing work has shown that the effect of the disturbances onto the fault reconstruction was minimised in an L2 sense; but complete disturbance decoupling was not guaranteed. The first contribution of this thesis is the investigation of the conditions that enable actuator (input) faults to be reconstructed independently of the disturbances. The conditions are found in terms of the original system matrices. Then, the next contribution is the extension of those results to the case of sensor (output) faults. Following that, using the results of the first contribution, a scheme was developed using cascaded observers to enable disturbance decoupled fault reconstruction for a more general class of systems. Finally, this thesis presents a method to reconstruct faults in cases where the first Markov matrix is rank deficient. The efficacy of these schemes is demonstrated by simulation examples.

В России в настоящее время сформированы правовые основы практически по всем элементам антикоррупционных стратегий. Однако остается по меньшей мере три области, где российское антикоррупционное законодательство пока еще не восполнило смысловой разрыв в построении комплексной системы антикоррупционного действия. Это регулирование лоббизма, создание механизма поддержки заявителей о коррупции, а также формирование независимого антикоррупционного государственного органа высокого политического уровня. Актуальность тематики обусловлена накоплением противоречий растущего российского антикоррупционного законодательства, часть из которых связана с недоработками стратегии его построения. Цель: проведение оценки потенциала развития каждого указанного направления для устранения фундаментальных пробелов в построении системы российского антикоррупционного законодательства. Методологическая основа: системный подход, формально-юридический и компаративистский метод анализа. Результаты: проведена оценка основных препятствий развития российского антикоррупционного законодательства в каждом из выделенных направлений и сформулированы предложения относительно устранения пробелов в его принципиальной системе. Выводы: устранению каждого из возникших пробелов системы антикоррупционного законодательства в России будут способствовать в большей степени факторы культурно-политического свойства, а в целом для этого потребуется концептуальное переосмысление задач антикоррупционной реформы и распространение ее на все элементы государственного механизма.

description: Введение: в условиях построения в России демократического правового социального государства осуществляется судебная реформа, а уголовный процесс, будучи сложным или сложноорганизованным объектом, требует системного подхода, точнее — наиболее эффективной его формы под названием «метод функциональной системы». На этом пути встают многие значимые проблемы, одна из которых — систематизация уголовного процесса. От ее решения зависит не только успех нашей идеи оптимизации уголовного процесса посредством метода функциональной системы, но и достижение желаемого результата в борьбе с преступностью. Цель: установить эффективный метод систематизации уголовного судопроизводства и разработать процесс его осуществления. Методологическая основа: метод постановки проблемы, системно-структурный метод, метод анализа, сравнения и др. методы, а также информационные, логические и языковые средства исследования. Результаты: определено понятие систематизации уголовного процесса как приведение его стадий в единую, согласованную функциональную систему; установлен конкретный механизм систематизации уголовного процесса, заключающийся в подчинении его стадий сформулированному фокусированному полезному результату, и концептуальный метод его осуществления; выявлен оптимальный вариант методов построения предполагаемой концепции; разработан некий алгоритм ее создания. Вывод: систематизацию уголовного процесса следует осуществлять посредством концептуального метода — поэтапного построения соответствующей концепции.

description: Введение: в уголовно-правовой литературе применительно к определению роли данной отрасли в общественной жизни достаточно часто ученые оперируют глаголом «обеспечивать» и соответствующим ему существительным «обеспечение». Однако они используют данные понятия без какого-либо пояснения их сущности, в контексте терминов «уголовно-правовое воздействие», «уголовно-правовое регулирование», «уголовно-правовая охрана». По мнению автора, понятие «уголовно-правовое обеспечение» имеет самостоятельное содержательное наполнение. Цель: формулирование авторской дефиниции «уголовно-правовое обеспечение» и обоснование необходимости введения ее в научный оборот. Методологическая основа: в исследовании использованы такие общенаучные методы, как анализ (в т.ч. контент-анализ), синтез, дедукция, индукция. Результаты: были исследованы сформировавшиеся в науке взгляды на синонимы понятия уголовно-правового обеспечения, дано авторское определение понятия «уголовно-правовое обеспечение». Вывод: уголовно-правовое обеспечение следует рассматривать как процесс формирования модели правомерного поведения участников общественных отношений в отдельной сфере деятельности путем установления признаков, наличие которых превращает поведение правообязанного лица в отклоняющееся от нормы и делает его преступным.

description: Fluid manipulation at the microscale presents significant challenges to the design of portable chip based diagnostic and biosensor devices. Various types of microactuation mechanisms have been proposed. However, few have been practically implemented in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) or Lab-on-a-Chip devices because they require a large external energy source to power them. This thesis primarily focusses on the development of high-frequency surface acoustic wave (SAW) driven microactuation of free droplets and micropumps for microchannel flow, necessary for the future development of integrated microfluidic platforms. A sessile drop responds differently depending upon the strength of an acoustic field; a weak acoustic field induces slow streaming whereas a strong acoustic field induces fast streaming. The droplet behavior was found to be associated with the characteristic length scale of the fluid motion Lf relative to the sound wavelength in the fluid Wf: Schlichting streaming is dominant when Lf/Wf << 1, Rayleigh streaming is dominant when Lf/Wf ~ 1, whereas Eckart streaming is dominant when Lf/Wf >> 1. We note here, in particular, that for Eckart and Schlichting streaming induced by a SAW in the form of a Rayleigh wave, the direction of flow is in, and opposite to, the direction of the propagating Rayleigh-SAW, respectively. These various types of acoustic streaming, arising from the interaction between the substrate undulation due to the SAW propagation along it and the fluid above the substrate, form a basic theoretical framework for understanding and analyzing the phenomena associated with the surface acoustic wave microactuation of fluids. The studies presented herein combine experimental and numerical investigations of SAW driven microactuation of fluids. An overview of the basic working principle of SAW devices, the transmission of acoustic waves and the generation of acoustic streaming in fluids are discussed. Three related studies have arisen out of this theme, the first two dealing with droplet actuation involving free surfaces and the last involving fluid flow in confined microchannels: (1) microparticle collection and concentration by SAW induced droplet translation, (2) high velocity microjet induced by focused SAWs, and (3) rapid fluid flow and mixing in microchannels induced by SAWs. As a prelude to the main body of work on the interaction of the SAW with fluids, however, we first report on the visualization of the SAW using smoke particles, which offers a cost-effective alternative visualization method to interferometry techniques. Finally, the thesis concludes with an experimental demonstration and a numerical analysis of the transmission of high power radio frequency acoustic radiation via fluid couplants into superstrates, which offers a method for carrying out microfluidics on surfaces other than the piezoelectric substrates that are required for the generation of the SAW.

description: Введение: Федеральный закон РФ «О прокуратуре Российской Федерации» непосредственно не закрепляет в качестве ее функции борьбу с преступностью. Несмотря на это, функции предупреждения преступности и профилактики преступлений пронизывают все направления деятельности органов прокуратуры. Для эффективного осуществления указанной функции сотрудники прокуратуры должны обладать познаниями о преступности, ее причинах и условиях, особенностях преступников и мерах профилактики преступлений. В этой связи представляет интерес формы и методы использования криминологических знаний в непосредственной деятельности органов прокуратуры, что подчеркивает актуальность затронутой тематики. Цель: определить значение криминологических знаний для деятельности органов прокуратуры, рассмотреть формы и методы их использования сотрудниками прокуратуры. Методологическая основа: используются методы анализа и синтеза, сравнительноправовой методы, конкретно-социологические методы исследования. Результаты и выводы: автор констатирует, что органы прокуратуры в своей непосредственной деятельности широко используют криминологические знания о преступности и ее тенденциях, причинах и условиях преступности, личности преступника, формах и методах профилактики преступлений.
Ceramic process as a reflection of environmental values : a Buddhist perspective

description: Many twentieth-century artists have responded to environmental concerns in their work. The issues addressed have often reflected broader community concerns and helped to raise community awareness and alert people to problems. No single work or artist can hope to effect the necessary changes in governmental or corporate policy and practice to make radical improvements in the situation, but the obvious and important aim is to contribute to the discussion. The environmental values that artists bring to, and express, in their art are shaped by a wide variety of experiences and philosophies, but what has not been explored in depth is the complete integration of the Buddhist formulation of these values into an artist’s ideas and work. As a practising artist and Buddhist, deeply concerned about the current state of our environment, I aim to explore and demonstrate how environmental values embedded in Buddhist philosophy can be expressed in my artwork. As Buddhism is a part of who I am, both as a person and artist, there is necessarily an autobiographical element to this research. In the making of my ceramics I respond to the aesthetic qualities of natural forms but in using them as installation pieces as part of a Zen-like garden I aim to express a much deeper level of engagement with nature and the environment. This engagement is informed by an understanding of the human interaction with nature, which in turn, is informed by the Buddhist belief that all living beings share a common journey, that is a lifecycle based on birth, growth, death and rebirth. The way humans respond to and value these lifecycles is implicit in how we interact with nature. I have a deep faith in Buddhist philosophy and believe that an understanding of Buddhism can help one deal with the journey through life and the consequent interaction with nature. Therefore this research is focused on creating a body of artwork that is reflective of a Buddhist understanding of environmental values.
