description: We study how present data probe standard and non-standard properties of neutrinos and the possible existence of new light particles, freely-streaming or interacting, among themselves or with neutrinos. Our results include: sum m_nu < 0.40 eV at 99.9% C.L.; that extra massless particles have abundance Delta N_nu = 2 pm 1 if freely-streaming and Delta N_nu = 0 pm 1.3 if interacting; that 3 interacting neutrinos are disfavored at about 4 sigma. We investigate the robustness of our results by fitting to different sub-sets of data. We developed our own cosmological computational tools, somewhat different from the standard ones.

description: The Higgs potential of 2HDM keeps its generic form under the group of transformation GL(2,C), which is larger than the usually considered reparametrization group U(2). This reparametrization symmetry induces the Minkowski space structure in the orbit space of 2HDM. Exploiting this property, we present a geometric analysis of the number and properties of stationary points of the most general 2HDM potential. In particular, we prove that charge-breaking and neutral vacua never coexist in 2HDM and establish conditions when the most general explicitly CP-conserving Higgs potential has spontaneously CP-violating minima. Our analysis avoids manipulation with high-order algebraic equations.

The Idea of Transfiguration in the Early German Reception of Mozart’s Requiem
Creators: name: Kramer, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: Over the past two hundred years, authorship disputes have dominated scholarly discussions about Mozart’s Requiem. From the analysis of handwriting to the provenance of manuscript evidence, much debate has occurred over who wrote what when and about the relationship of these details to the larger contexts for the work. l In our attempts to present new evidence and theories regarding the Requiem, however, we have largely ignored the very reasons for investigating its genesis and composition in the first place. Our motivations as scholars, given Mozart’s canonical status and the continual influence of the work, may seem obvious today. But what inspired the initial conversation? This essay works from the premise that early nineteenth-century interest in the authorship of the Requiem grew out of a wider movement of Kunstreligion (art religion) in German musical aesthetics of the time. In connection with Kunstreligion, the idea of transfiguration entered music criticism and writings on aesthetics around 1800 and played a pivotal role in early texts about the Requiem. Initially employed in vivid comparisons of the Requiem to Raphael’s Transfiguration of Christ, the idea of transfiguration shaped the debates about the authenticity of Mozart’s composition in the 1820s. Critics such as Friedrich Rochlitz, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Gottfried Weber, and Adolf Bernhard Marx understood the Requiem as the transfiguration of its composer, listeners, and of music itself. The composition was imagined to be a site of Mozart’s own transfiguration, and concert reviewers described the heightened “spiritual listening” of some of the Requiem’s first performers and audiences, whose profound experiences were seemingly evoked by presentations of the work. Drawing on a slightly different sense of the idea of transfiguration, the Requiem itself was at the center of a transformation of existing generic categories: what previously would have been considered “church music” (“Kirchenmusik”) now fit into a newer category of “religious music” (“religiose Musik”). These manifestations of transfiguration, which developed out of the broader movement of early nineteenth-century Kunstreligion, led commentators to express concerns about the authenticity of Mozart’s final work. After a survey of the ideas of Kunstreligion and transfiguration in early nineteenth-century writings about music, this essay traces the role of the concept of transfiguration in the reception of the Requiem, from the early anecdotes to the later controversy.

description: A new technical method is developed for soft x-ray spectroscopy of near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). The measurement is performed with continuously rotating linearly polarized light over 2$π$, generated by a segmented undulator. A demonstration of the rotational NEXAFS experiment was successfully made with a 2D film, showing detailed polarization-dependence in intensity of the molecular orbitals. The present approach provides varieties of technical opportunities that are compatible with the state-of-the-art experiments in nano-space and under the $operando$ condition.
Tetraquark states and spectrum

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: A general classification of tetraquark states in terms of the spin-flavour, colour and spatial degrees of freedom has been constructed. The permutational symmetry properties of both the spin-flavour and orbital parts of the quark-quark and antiquark-antiquark subsystems are discussed in short. This classification is model indipendent and useful both for model-builders and experimentalists. An evaluation of the tetraquark spectrum is obtained from a generalization of a Iachello mass formula, originally developed for the $q\bar q$ mesons. The ground state tetraquark nonet is identified with $f_{0}(600)$, $κ(800)$, $f_{0}(980)$, $a_{0}(980)$.

description: We show that the non-perturbative dynamics of $\mathcal{N}=2$ super Yang-Mills theories in a self-dual $Ω$-background and with an arbitrary simple gauge group is fully determined by studying renormalization group equations of vevs of surface operators generating one-form symmetries. The corresponding system of equations is a {\it non-autonomous} Toda chain, the time being the RG scale. We obtain new recurrence relations which provide a systematic algorithm computing multi-instanton corrections from the tree-level one-loop prepotential as the asymptotic boundary condition of the RGE. We exemplify by computing the $E_6$ and $G_2$ cases up to two-instantons.

description: In a recent Letter [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 71, 432 (2002)], we reported a preliminary calculation and concluded that public exposure to mobile phones can be enhanced by microwave reflection in public spaces. In this paper, we confirm the significance of microwave reflection reported in our previous Letter by experimental and numerical studies. Furthermore, we show that "hot spots" often emerge in reflective areas, where the local exposure level is much higher than average. Such places include elevators, and we discuss other possible environments including trains, buses, cars, and airplanes. Our results indicate the risk of "passive exposure" to microwaves.

description: Two approaches to spectral theory of order unit spaces are compared: the spectral duality of Alfsen and Shultz and the spectral compression bases due to Foulis. While the former approach uses the geometric properties of an order unit space in duality with a base norm space, the latter notion is purely algebraic. It is shown that the Foulis approach is strictly more general and contains the Alfsen-Shultz approach as a special case. This is demonstrated on two types of examples: the JB-algebras which are Foulis spectral if and only if they are Rickart, and the centrally symmetric state spaces, which may be Foulis spectral while not necessarily Alfsen-Shultz spectral.

Feminism, psychoanalysis and postmodernism : bridging the discourses
Creators: name: Zafar, Yasmeen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This paper seeks to analyze the inter-relationship of three theories: feminism, psychoanalysis and postmodernism. It attempts to do this by focussing on the issue of sex crimes; how each theory provides an explanation for the phenomenon of sex crimes. It goes on to examine each theory in more detail, using their position on sex crimes as a starting point to a discussion of their theoretical foundations. It acknowledges the major writers in the field and notices the current trend of analysis to be that of merger between the theories. The paper examines both the feasibility and validity of such a merger.

description: The electrical characteristics and microstructures of $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ Schottky barrier diode (SBD) devices irradiated with swift heavy ions (2096 MeV Ta ions) have been studied. It was found that $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ SBD devices showed the reliability degradation after irradiation, including turn-on voltage Von, on-resistance Ron, ideality factor n and the reverse leakage current density Jr. In addition, the carrier concentration of the drift layer was decreased significantly and the calculated carrier removal rates were 5*106 - 1.3*107 cm-1. Latent tracks induced by swift heavy ions were observed visually in the whole $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ matrix. Furthermore, crystal structure of tracks was amorphized completely. The latent tracks induced by Ta ions bombardments were found to be the reason for the decrease in carrier mobility and carrier concentration. Eventually, these defects caused the degradation of electrical characteristics of the devices. By comparing the carrier removal rates, the $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ SBD devices were more sensitive to swift heavy ions irradiation than SiC and GaN devices.

description: The post-civil rights era gave rise to a surge in revisionist scholarship devoted to African American music, much of it inspired by Eileen Southern’s seminal Music of Black Americans ([1971] 1997). Southern and the scholars who followed in her wake restored lost musicians, lost images, lost words, lost scores, and lost experiences to the historical record, which radically changed how we study, perceive, and teach American music. Tim Brooks’s magnificent new book on America’s earliest black recording artists, Lost Sounds, is a treasure chest of new information that reminds us, should we feel complacent, that there is still much work to be done in recovering and understanding America’s musical past.

Review of Daniel Goldmark. 2005. Tunes for ‘Toons: Music and the Hollywood Cartoon. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press
Creators: name: McQuiston, Kate
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: Daniel Goldmark’s monograph, the first on music in cartoons, will interest both a popular and scholarly readership. Tunes for ‘Toons offers lively description, analysis, and history, and it makes a tremendous contribution to the scholarly literature by illuminating the working processes and creative tendencies of composers, as well as by unpacking the codes and systems behind cartoons that use familiar classical music and others that use jazz. Goldmark’s attention to the industry of animation, his effective use of documentary materials, and his evident enthusiasm for the subject all enhance his work. Useful to anyone interested in the hows and whys of cartoon scoring (especially fans of Merrie Melodies and Tom and Jerry), the book provides rich analyses of individual cartoons, and these interpretations serve as models for understanding other undiscussed cartoons.

description: It is well accepted that an outward Marangoni convection from a low surface tension region will make the surface depressed. Here, we report that this established perception is only valid for thin liquid films. Using surface laser heating, we show that in deep liquids a laser beam actually pulls up the fluid above the free surface generating fountains with different shapes. Whereas with decreasing liquid depth a transition from fountain to indentation with fountain in-indentation is observed. Further, high-speed imaging reveals a transient surface process before steady elevation is formed, and this dynamic deformation is subsequently utilized to resonantly excite giant surface waves by a modulated laser beam. Computational fluid dynamics models reveal the underlying flow patterns and quantify the depth-dependent and time-resolved surface deformations. Our discoveries and techniques have upended the century-old perception and opened up a new regime of interdisciplinary research and applications of Marangoni-induced interface phenomena and optocapillary fluidic surfaces-the control of fluids with light.

description: Credit Default Swap (CDS) levels provide a market appreciation of companies' default risk. These derivatives are not always available, creating a need for CDS approximations. This paper offers a simple, global and transparent CDS structural approximation, which contrasts with more complex and proprietary approximations currently in use. This Equity-to-Credit formula (E2C), inspired by CreditGrades, obtains better CDS approximations, according to empirical analyses based on a large sample spanning 2016-2018. A random forest regression run with this E2C formula and selected additional financial data results in an 87.3% out-of-sample accuracy in CDS approximations. The transparency property of this algorithm confirms the predominance of the E2C estimate, and the impact of companies' debt rating and size, in predicting their CDS.
Review of David Monod. 2005. Settling Scores: German Music, Denazification, and the Americans, 1945-1953. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press
Creators: name: Tompkins, David
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: David Monod’s engaging and thorough monograph offers a largely convincing if at times overstated rebuttal to such negative assessments of the American role in the musical realm of postwar Germany. Through his focus on cIassical music, he argues that American influence helped to lay the foundations for a new and democratic cultural life. Perhaps most controversially, Monod claims that the modest cultural regeneration of the early postwar years was possible because of the “revolutionary and transformative” power of denazification, the policy to remove Nazi influences from public life (9). While he agrees with most scholars that denazification was implemented poorly and ended too quickly, he nonetheless maintains that American influence was positive in limited but essential ways, through the actions of individual cultural officers as well as in the structural reform of arts administration. Although many individual initiatives failed, he maintains that the denazification policies-both those designed to remove Nazis from public life as well as those intended to punish and rehabilitate individual Nazis and sympathizers-indeed implemented core democratic values and that, as a result, German musical life changed for the better.

The Aesthetics of Textural Ambiguity: Brahms and the Changing Piano
Creators: name: Arnone, Augustus
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: In recent years, a number of performance practice scholars writing on Brahms’s piano music have commented on the prominence of low-lying melodic lines, thickly-written accompaniments, and often dense saturation of the lower register. For such writers these textural features constitute proof that Brahms could not have intended performance on the modern piano. Firms such as Steinway, Bechstein, and Chickering were manufacturing pianos by the early 1860s, roughly the midpoint of Brahms’s life, that already exhibited most of the important design innovations that distinguish modern pianos from earlier ones, and these firms enjoyed enormous success across Europe. Performance practice scholars have argued that the increased power and sustain of these pianos create irreparable problems of balance and clarity in much of Brahms’s music, implying that he was writing for the lighter and more transparent instruments that predate the modern piano, many of which were still manufactured up until the end of the century.

The Cyberpolitics of Music in Ukraine’s 2004 Orange Revolution
Creators: name: Helbig, Adriana
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: Between November 21 and December 26, 2004, nearly one million people protested in Kyiv against election fraud, media censorship, mass government corruption, and oligarchic market reforms. These large-scale peaceful protests have become widely known as the Orange Revolution, named after the campaign colors of Viktor Yushchenko, the opposition candidate who ran against Viktor Yanukovych, a politician with a criminal record who was backed by Moscow and the sitting Ukrainian government. In analyzing the relationship between music, social movements, and technology, I draw on the paradigm proposed by Ron Eyerman and Andrew Jamison who argue that “social movements lead to a reconstruction of processes of social interaction and collective identity formation”. Though I will present some of the new popular music styles favored by anti-government organizers during the Orange Revolution, particularly one that I call TAK-techno, I am less concerned with the content on the Internet than with the Internet’s use as a vital communication tool within socio-political events and music’s function within that framework. In this analysis of the relationship between the Internet, music, and politics in post -socialist Ukraine, I argue that technology is not culturally or politically neutral. Rather, cybermusicality was undeniably vital to the Orange Revolution, drawing millions of Internet users into new online communities.

description: We study fermionic atoms of three different internal quantum states (colors) in an optical lattice, which are interacting through attractive on site interactions, U<0. Using a variational calculation for equal color densities and small couplings, |U| < |U_C|, a color superfluid state emerges with a tendency to domain formation. For |U| > |U_C|, triplets of atoms with different colors form singlet fermions (trions). These phases are the analogies of the color superconducting and baryonic phases in QCD. In ultracold fermions, this transition is found to be of second order. Our results demonstrate that quantum simulations with ultracold gases may shed light on outstanding problems in quantum field theory.

Invited to the audition via a letter addressed to Herr Abbie Conant, the trombonist achieved this success as a disembodied performer-from behind an auditioning screen. With the entire orchestra and director listening, as is the custom when auditioning solo chairs, Conant's sound was consumed as pure musical expression; indeed, her winning performance was exactly the realization the orchestra hoped for. However, when she stepped out from behind the screen, this seemingly unproblematic purity of sound was disrupted: for there stood a female body.

Por intermedio del método analéctico (Dussel, 2011; Kush, 2007; Scannone, 2009) fue posible, en primer lugar, identificar a las estructuras globales del discurso sobre la actividad minera y sus riesgos y, en segundo lugar, trascender la totalidad de los paradigmas hegemónicos de interpretación de la mineríay de la gestión de sus riesgos en la región, ya sugiriéndosecircunscribir la discusión del tema, en una fase primaria y abierta a futuras investigaciones, dentro del marco de la comprensión existencial e histórica que corresponde a la cotidianidad dialéctica latinoamericana y caribeña. De forma preliminar, se concluye que resulta urgente un ejercicio autóctono de prueba analítica en la región sobre la triangulación entre la minería, la gestión del riesgoy la adaptación al cambio climático, con miras hacia una mejor planificación territorial del desarrollo, al igual que una evaluación más realista de la muy cuestionada imagen de sostenibilidad de la industria extractiva apostada por las grandes corporaciones mineras.
Review of Peraino, Judith. 2006. Listening to the Sirens: Musical Technologies of Queer Identity from Homer to Hedwig. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press
Creators: name: Raykoff, Ivan
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: Peraino’s roadmap is inviting: the premise of the book, in part following Adorno, is the idea that music has always opened a space for ambivalence, productively serving the complexities of personal identity and subjectivity; at the same time it has also provoked anxiety, society’s frequent response in trying to contain those complexities through categorical hierarchies and ideological superstructures. In brief, Listening to the Sirens pursues a quest devoted to queerness, that is, a dynamic of questioning the established cultural assumptions that regulate sexual identity and desire. Music lends itself well to such an interrogation, Peraino argues, because it “demarcates a space and time wherein gender and sexuality lose clear definition”. An impressive and expansive range of case studies demonstrates music’s potential to subvert normative categories, and to represent (often through subtle means) constructs of identity and subjectivity that do not conform to hegemonic models. Thus music can facilitate resistance as well, a potential role that numerous composers, performers, and listeners have harnessed by using music as a tool for personal expression and cultural comment. As an innovative framework for these case studies, Peraino develops Foucault’s concept of “technology” as a set of processes by which individual identity is produced, enacted, and transformed. In Peraino’s expanded theoretical view, what gets composed and performed and listened to are not only sounds but identities, too-especially questioning and disruptive ones.

description: In this work, we study the behavior of standard models for community detection under spectral manipulations. Through various ablation experiments, we evaluate the impact of bandpass filtering on the performance of a GCN: we empirically show that most of the necessary and used information for nodes classification is contained in the low-frequency domain, and thus contrary to images, high frequencies are less crucial to community detection. In particular, it is sometimes possible to obtain accuracies at a state-of-the-art level with simple classifiers that rely only on a few low frequencies.

description: In recent years, thanks to the continuous surveys performed by INTEGRAL and Swift satellites, our knowledge of the hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray sky has greatly improved. As a result it is now populated with about 2000 sources, both Galactic and extra-galactic, mainly discovered by IBIS and BAT instruments. Many different follow-up campaigns have been successfully performed by using a multi-wavelength approach, shedding light on the nature of a number of these new hard X-ray sources. However, a fraction are still of a unidentified nature. This is mainly due to the lack of lower energy observations, which usually deliver a better constrained position for the sources, and the unavailability of the key observational properties, needed to obtain a proper physical characterization. Here we report on the classification of two poorly studied Galactic X-ray transients IGR J20155+3827 and Swift J1713.4-4219, for which the combination of new and/or archival X-ray and Optical/NIR observations have allowed us to pinpoint their nature. In particular, thanks to XMM\Newton archival data together with new optical spectroscopic and archival Optical/NIR photometric observations, we have been able to classify IGR J20155+3827 as a distant HMXB. The new INTEGRAL and Swift data collected during the 2019 X-ray outburst of Swift J1713.4-4219, in combination with the archival optical/NIR observations, suggest a LMXB classification for this source.

description: Let V be a representation space of a finite group G. We determine the group structure of the first homology of the equivariant diffeomorphism group of V. Then we can apply it to the calculation of the first homology of the corresponding automorphism groups of smooth orbifolds, compact Hausdorff foliations, codimension one or two compact foliations and a locally free circle action on the 3-sphere.

Disruptive Spatiality and the Experience of Recordings of Bach’s Solo Cello Suites
Creators: name: Waltham-Smith, Naomi
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: Architecture, so the saying goes, is “frozen music.” Music, conversely, is “liquid” architecture. This aphorism, popular in the early nineteenth century, soon became a cliche. “Should one perhaps speak of ruins;’ quips Schopenhauer in 1844, “as a ‘frozen cadenza’?”. However maligned, though, the cliche persists in Bach studies. It is still commonplace to speak of the “architecture” of Bach’s music (Wolff 1969; Schulenberg 1992; Corten 1995), and even the composer himself has been labeled an “architect” (Joseph 1992). The very structures of this music, we are frequently told, are “architectonic:’ While discourse on Bach has tended to adopt this architectural metaphor as an unquestioned, and at times tacit, assumption, there is little evidence to suggest that his music corresponds with any degree of precision to concrete examples of architectural theory or practice. Nor have commentators drawn consistent parallels between Bach’s music and anyone architectural style, let alone a single historical period. The analogy between high Gothic architecture and Bach’s counterpoint was common in the first half of the nineteenth century, and articles and books on Bach continue to be peppered with pictures of Gothic cathedrals. Other commentators, however, claim to detect stylistic parallels with the architecture of Baroque Rome: Raymond Court, for instance, writes that “we place the music of J. S. Bach opposite this grand Baroque architecture of papal Rome as in a mirror in order to discover analogous stylistic traits” (1989:15).

description: Forecasting imbalance prices is essential for strategic participation in the short-term energy markets. A novel two-step probabilistic approach is proposed, with a particular focus on the Belgian case. The first step consists of computing the net regulation volume state transition probabilities. It is modeled as a matrix computed using historical data. This matrix is then used to infer the imbalance prices since the net regulation volume can be related to the level of reserves activated and the corresponding marginal prices for each activation level are published by the Belgian Transmission System Operator one day before electricity delivery. This approach is compared to a deterministic model, a multi-layer perceptron, and a widely used probabilistic technique, Gaussian Processes.
Review of Kelley Harness. 2006. Echoes of Women’s Voices: Music, Art, and Female Patronage in Early Modern Florence. Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press
Creators: name: Marshall, Melanie L.
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: Echoes of Women’s Voices is an absorbing study of female self-fashioning in early modern Florence that documents successes and mishaps in the patronage strategies of women regents and women religious. The main focus is on Archduchess Maria Magdalena of Austria, widow of Cosimo II de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Florence, during her joint regency of Florence (1621-30) with Christine of Lorraine, but there are also two chapters on the institutional patronage of the convent of Santa Croce (known as La Crocetta), home to Princess Maria Maddalena, Christine of Lorraine’s daughter and therefore Archduchess Maria Magdalena’s sister-in-law. The concept of patronage as a means of fashioning a public identity is familiar, but aside from William Prizer’s articles on Isabella d’Este and Lucrezia Borgia (e.g., 1982; 1985; 1999), and studies of convents by Robert Kendrick (1996), Craig Monson (1995), and Colleen Reardon (1996; 2002), there is little substantial work on women’s musical patronage in Italy. Harness draws upon research into early modern women’s patronage of the visual arts, particularly highlighting the idea from Roger Crum (2001) that, regardless of who commissioned a work, the potential patron, recipient, or user of a work exerts influence over its production. Harness argues that patronage took on special significance for women as a means of communication-one that perhaps did not sit easily with society’s emphasis on the importance of silence as a female virtue (second only to chastity). In short, through patronage, women had a voice. The women” envoiced” through female patronage were not only the patrons but also the women characters that proliferated in their music theater.

Review of Pisani, Michael V. 2005. Imagining Native America in Music. New Haven, CT, and London: Yale University Press
Creators: name: Harrison, Klisala
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2006

description: Pisani’s book traces the origins and development of the musical tropes for Native Americans in several contexts: European court entertainments from 1550 to 1760; anti-colonial British-American theater and songs from 1710 to 1808; parlor songs, musical theater, and concert works from 1795 to 1860 that addressed colonial conquest; ethnographic representations of Native American music in the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; American instrumental character pieces, string quartets, and symphonic works at the turn of the twentieth century; early twentieth-century parlor songs, concert songs, American operas, and Broadway musicals; and Native American music in film, especially in Hollywood Westerns. As this list of contents demonstrates, Imagining Native America in Music will appeal to scholars from various academic fields working on a variety of topics and areas. The monograph bridges musicology, performance practice studies, ethnomusicology, history, indigenous studies, theater studies, and film studies. Pisani’s research is impressively thorough. His detailed examination of hundreds of scores of art music, antiquated popular music, and musical theater compositions took him to a number of archives including the British Library, the Library of Congress, the American Folklife Center, and the Smithsonian Institution. His book offers evocative sonic descriptions of rarely performed American art music from the turn of the twentieth century, as well as comprehensive repertoire lists and over thirty-two music transcriptions and reprints (though the large number of musical examples and analyses may deter the non-musically trained scholar).

Confinement Driven by Scalar Field in 4d Non Abelian Gauge Theories
Creators: name: Chabab, Mohamed
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We review some of the most recent work on confinement in 4d gauge theories with a massive scalar field (dilaton). Emphasis is put on the derivation of confining analytical solutions to the Coulomb problem versus dilaton effective couplings to gauge terms. It is shown that these effective theories can be relevant to model quark confinement and may shed some light on confinement mechanism. Moreover, the study in the heavy meson sector of an interquark potential derived from Dick Model, proves that phenomenological investigation of this mechanism is more than justified and deserves more efforts.

Cruel and unusual punishment : prisoners' rights in the 1990's
Creators: name: Bowman, John Ramsay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: With the tenth anniversary of the enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom fast approaching, this thesis is intended to evaluate the extent to which s.12 of that document has effectively impacted on prison litigation in Canada. An historical analysis of the prohibition against cruel and unusual treatment or punishment will show an encouraging swing away from the fairly restrictive interpretations of the past. An overview of the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, with its similarly worded prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments, will help to evaluate the degree to which the many U.S. prison conditions cases may be usefully applied by Canadian courts. This, along with a general look at prison litigation under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, will help assess whether the present Canadian judicial approach is still too restrictive, and the risks of that attitude becoming even more conservative. With this background established, two issues of current interest in prison life will be examined, with the aim of suggesting that existing correctional attitudes to these issues violate s.12. The treatment of prisoners infected with the AIDS virus will be the focus of one chapter. As numbers of those infected with the AIDS virus in general and prison populations continues to rise, it will be asked what might be the most practical approach to controlling this new prison "inmate". The other issue to be considered is that of prison overcrowding, and in particular, the practice of double bunking, placing two people in a cell designed for one. It will be suggested that the existing cases in this area were based on an inadequate assessment of the evidence, and that those decisions have, in any case been overtaken by the Supreme Court of Canada's developing understanding of s.12. The thesis will conclude by conceding that, despite a more liberated judicial attitude to cruel and unusual treatment or punishment in Canada, not very much has changed in prison litigation. If s.12 is to be more than a paper guarantee of rights and freedoms in the 1990's, a more interventionist approach on the part of the judiciary is clearly mandated.
