description: Abstract This paper studies a probation program in Cologne, Germany. The program, which has a clear rehabilitative focus, offers intensified personal support to serious juvenile offenders over the first 6 months of their probation period. To evaluate the program's impact on recidivism, we draw on two research designs. Firstly, a small‐scale randomized trial assigns offenders to probation with regular or intensified support. Secondly, a regression discontinuity design exploits a cutoff that defines program eligibility. The results suggest that the program reduces recidivism. The effect seems persistent over at least 3 years. Our evidence further indicates that the drop in recidivism is strongest among less severe offenders.

description: Just in the last few years scientific publishing has moved rapidly away from the modes that served it well for over two centuries. As “digital natives” take over the field and rapid and open access comes to dominate the way we communicate, both scholarly journals and libraries need to adopt new business models to serve their communities. This is best done by identifying new “added value” such as databases, full text searching, full cross indexing while at the same time retaining the high quality of peer reviewed publication.

Subjects: Environmental Science

description: In the present work we fractioned the effluent water from an urban sewage treatment plant (USTP) of Ribarroja (Valencia, Spain) using the conventional protocol based on DAX8 and XAD4 resins. The fractions were analyzed by elemental analysis, FT–IR, 1H‐NMR, COSY‐NMR, HSQC‐NMR, FAB+‐MS and also by derivatization with bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide with 10% of trimethylchlorosilane. The four fractions obtained have common spectroscopic features and individual compounds indicating that the fractioning procedure is inefficient at separating different families of compounds. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis of the derivatized fractions allowed identification of many individual compounds. The main classes of organic compounds present in the effluent are saccharides, amino acids, fatty acids, hydroxyacids, aromatic compounds and steroids. Also we were able to identify in the effluent the emerging pollutants paracetamol and ketoprofen – two best‐selling anti‐inflammatory drugs used in humans.

description: This study summarises the results of the levels of 21 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in 50 selected pooled samples representing 15 food commodities with the special focus on those of animal origin, as meat, seafood, fish, milk, dairy products and hen eggs, which are commonly consumed in various European markets, e.g. Czech, Italian, Belgian and Norwegian. A new, rapid sample preparation approach based on the QuEChERS extraction procedure was applied. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) employing electrospray ionisation (ESI) in negative mode was used for the quantification of target analytes. Method quantification limits (MQLs) were in the range of 1–10 ng kg−1 (ng l−1) for fish, meat, hen eggs, cheese and milk, and in the range of 2.5–125 ng kg−1 for butter. Only 16 of the group of 21 PFASs were found in at least one analysed sample. From 16 PFASs, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was the most frequently detected analyte present in approximately 50% of samples (in the range of 0.98–2600 ng kg−1). PFCAs with C8–C14 carbon chain were presented in approximately 20% of samples. The concentration ranges of individual compounds in the respective groups of PFASs were: 2.33–76.3 ng kg−1 for PFSAs (without PFOS), 4.99–961 ng kg−1 for PFCAs, 10.6–95.4 ng kg−1 for PFPAs, and 1.61–519 ng kg−1 for FOSA. The contamination level in the analysed food commodities decreased in the following order: seafood > pig/bovine liver >> freshwater/marine fish > hen egg > meat >> butter. When comparing the total contamination and profiles of PFASs in food commodities that originated from various sampling countries, differences were identified, and the contents decreased as follows: Belgium >> Norway, Italy > Czech Republic.

description: Nazi philosophy survived through Carl Schmitt and Martin Heidegger. I use Theodor Adorno’s concept “jargon” to show how this philosophy was a key component in Nazi jurisprudence and Nazi law. We see similar jargon in Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Certain “critical” responses to Nazi law perpetuate this jargon and thus (unwittingly) normalize far-right positions in law and policy. If we are determined that such atrocities never happen again, we must begin at the metaphysical/ontological level. I suggest that the key flaw in Heidegger’s philosophy is that it does not place enough emphasis on human fallibility.

Spatial non-stationarity and anisotropy of compositional turnover in eastern Australian Myrtaceae species

name: Williams, Kristen Jennifer
Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2012
Subjects: Geography

description: Knowledge of species compositional turnover, the rate of change in the number of species shared between locations along geographic and environmental gradients, is important for conservation planning. Spatially global models relating species and environmental turnover are well established. However, to date there has been no explicit assessment of the effects of geographical variation in parameters (spatial non-stationarity) and directional dependence (anisotropy) on these models. Such processes are well known to affect other geospatial analyses. Here, we assess how these affect the shape, goodness of fit and composition of species turnover–environment relationships. We use the eastern Australian distribution of species in the Myrtaceae, an important family of vascular plants in the region. We obtained distribution data for Myrtaceae species from herbarium records and corresponding environmental attributes (mean of 1 km gridded cell values aggregated to 10 km grid cells). Species compositional turnover was quantified using the Sørensen pairwise dissimilarity index. The turnover–environment relationship was analysed using generalised dissimilarity modelling (GDM), a purpose-designed statistical regression technique. The data were divided into three sets of spatially local subsamples: 27 rectangular east–west-aligned coastal–inland bands, 8 north–south coastally aligned bands and 12 symmetrical omnidirectional blocks. A separate GDM was fitted to each spatially local subsample. The results display marked evidence of spatial variation in the shape, goodness of fit and composition of local species turnover–environment relationships, with this variation appearing strongly directional. The observed spatial structure of local biodiversity–environment relationships, expressed as species compositional turnover, is unsurprising considering both the steep east–west environmental gradients associated with Australia's eastern ranges and the known decreasing sampling intensity in the same direction. Local spatial non-stationarity and anisotropy are expected outcomes irrespective of the chosen turnover index, study taxa or statistical model used. Currently, it is difficult to separate genuine biogeographic effects from data bias. Future analyses could better account for the observed spatial structure of both biodiversity–environment relationships and data bias by incorporating directionality in data subsampling strategies and explicit biogeographic predictors in model design.

description: The article reads Nietzsche’s analysis of punishment in On the Genealogy of Morals as a critique of the idea of God and its influence on modern politics. I show that Nietzsche locates the genesis of the idea of God in the institution of impersonal, juridical punishment, thus undermining Kant’s explanation of it as stemming from our noumenal moral condition. While punishment is originally a direct means of retribution for personal injuries, juridical punishment idealizes this retribution into an impersonal entity, such as society or God, thus generating a growing burden of psychic energy that is experienced as “eternal punishment.” I connect this analysis to contemporary critiques of basing progressive politics upon impersonal legal categories.

description: Appropriate selection of environmental variables is critical to the performance of biodiversity models, but has received less attention than the choice of modelling method. Online aggregators of biological and environmental data, such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and the Atlas of Living Australia, necessitate a rational approach to variable selection. We outline a set of general principles for systematically identifying, compiling, evaluating and selecting environmental variables for a biodiversity model. Our approach aims to maximise the information obtained from the analysis of biological records linked to a potentially large suite of spatial environmental variables. We demonstrate the utility of this structured framework through case studies with Australian vascular plants: regional modelling of a species distribution, continent-wide modelling of species compositional turnover and environmental classification. The approach is informed by three components of a biodiversity model: (1) an ecological framework or conceptual model, (2) a data model concerning availability, resolution and variable selection and (3) a method for analysing data. We expand the data model in structuring the problem of choosing environmental variables. The case studies demonstrate a structured approach for the: (1) cost-effective compilation of variables in the context of an explicit ecological framework for the study, attribute accuracy and resolution; (2) evaluation of non-linear relationships between variables using knowledge of their derivation, scatter plots and dissimilarity matrices; (3) selection and grouping of variables based on hypotheses of relative ecological importance and perceived predictor effectiveness; (4) systematic testing of variables as predictors through the process of model building and refinement and (5) model critique, inference and synthesis using direct gradient analysis to evaluate the shape of response curves in the context of ecological theory by presenting predictions in both geographic and environmental space.

description: Humanitarian action is a stressful field of work, that can have effects on the mental health and well-being of aid workers. This paper asks how humanitarian organizations can strengthen operational leadership provide better staff care. An organizations' duty of care towards their employees can translate into its staff care strategy. During field missions, operational humanitarian managers work directly with staff under high stress. This paper tries to give an insight into their understanding of staff care and how they implement it in the field, and it tries to understand the challenges they face. The understanding of their role in this included making sure staff are physically secure and feel psychologically safe. The main strategies were creating an open team culture, making staff feel appreciated and motivated, managing the workload and setting up a comfortable living and working environment. The main challenges were a lack of funding and practical training, having no one to talk to about difficult situations, and providing staff care to national staff. The ways in which they experienced support from their organizations varied. The general findings were that staff care needs to be prioritized at the organizational level. Organizations need to provide financial support, appropriate training for leaders and coaching to deal with challenges. This Is especially true when It comes to national staff: Although national staff contribute to the vast majority of the humanitarian workforce, organizationally, staff care for this group of employees remains largely underprioritized.

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: 341

description: Land is fiercely contested in the densely populated and ethnically heterogeneous eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Competition over land is intimately intertwined with violent conflict and simultaneously constitutes root cause, sustaining factor and consequence of war and human suffering. For the great majority of the rural population, access to land is the primary condition for subsistence. Frequently, the same piece of land is claimed by various parties, but legal pluralism hampers the unambiguous determination of the legitimate owner. The state and its judicial structures being largely absent after almost two decades of armed conflict and insecurity, law and order have widely been replaced by the right of the strongest. Since a few years, there has been increasing acknowledgement of the urgent need to address the land issue if the country is to sustainably recover from conflict. National and international actors have initiated programs directed at the prevention and resolution of land-related local conflicts, with the long- term objective of fostering more comprehensive and secure access to land for the Congolese population. This paper examines the problem of contested land and its manifestations in the province of North Kivu and reviews and analyzes the corresponding national and international land- related intervention in order to identify gaps, opportunities and future challenges.

description: Drawing on the examples of the Australian Defence Forces’ (ADF) interventions in East Timor (1999 and 2006) this desk study is the first to analyze the significance and impact of Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) on levels of “Human Security” during peacekeeping operations. This analysis is based on a critical assessment of the “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) and the “Human Security” concept, as well as of the main actors involved in CIMIC - Humanitarian organizations, the military and the soldier. Additionally, the Australian government’s motivation for the military intervention in East Timor is discussed as motivation plays a vital role for the success of an intervention and its impact on “Human Security”. Following von Clausewitz, the impact of CIMIC on “Human Security” was measured for a better illustration on three different levels (politics, strategy and tactics). The study argues that CIMIC, interpreted as a strategic instrument of the military to achieve military goals, on first sight cannot contribute to Human Security. Nevertheless, this study makes the case for CIMIC as a potent useful tool, especially in multinational peacekeeping forces and in non-combat operations. Here, if interpreted as a mechanism which is designed to minimize casualties, it has a positive impact on Human Security as it helps to create an environment in which security can be granted.

Subjects: subject: 341

description: Background: Today, performance management in the humanitarian sector comprises a multitude of different initiatives and approaches that seek to improve efficiency of project management, foster cooperation, or establish accountability through standards, tools, frameworks and participative approaches. This multitude has led scholars to call for comprehensive, integrated, and system-wide views on, approaches to, and frameworks for performance management. This paper ascertains the applicability of the Balanced Scorecard model to the system-wide management of performance for the humanitarian sector. It combines the concepts of performance management, the generic Balanced Scorecard for businesses and further approaches to extend the Balanced Scorecard for cross-company networks as well as to apply the Balanced Scorecard to the non-profit and public sector. These concepts are discussed against the background of existing performance initiatives and approaches in the humanitarian sector. Results: The Balanced Scorecard works on the implicit assumption that all aspects of performance are measurable to a certain extent. The humanitarian sector shows characteristics that make it nearly impossible to isolate the contribution of humanitarian interventions to the overall mission to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity, rendering the Balanced Scorecard inapplicable to system-wide performance management in humanitarian aid.

description: The Federal Republic of Germany is one of the leading donors of both humanitarian and development assistance worldwide and the single most important contributor to the European Commission’s humanitarian aid budget. This paper investigates the relationship between the extent of the presence of the issue of humanitarian aid in Germany’s media reporting and the provision of humanitarian aid to disaster-stricken countries by the German federal government. The empirical findings show that, while the number of fatalities recorded on a selected crisis and the number of articles published on such a crisis are the most significant variables affecting the disbursement of emergency financial assistance, no clear cut positive correlation between an increase in issue salience and an increase in Germany’s provision of humanitarian aid can necessarily be observed.

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: 341

description: This study explores the influence of mental health on reconciliation by conducting grounded theory research in post-war Lebanon. Based on interviews with experts in the fields of mental health and reconciliation, three hypotheses are formulated. Firstly, war affects the mental health of people in a complex way, leading to clinical and subclinical levels of psychological stress. The accumulation of war events as well as individual vulnerabilities and resilience factors are taken into account. Secondly, mental health services are insufficient to care for those in need of psychosocial support. The national health care system is widely inaccessible, Non governmental organizations (NGOs) are overburdened, and mental health is a stigmatized topic. Thirdly, the study concludes that mental health problems disrupt the process of repairing fractured relationship in Lebanon. Poor mental health negatively affects cognitive skills which are necessary to engage in the reconciliation process, such as problem-solving and perspective-taking. People lack trust, there is no feeling of shared responsibility and irrational fears fuel sectarianism. Lessons learnt for the humanitarian community are formulated. First and foremost, humanitarians working in post-conflict societies should integrate psychosocial care in reconciliation activities at all levels of the intervention to increase the effectiveness of their actions.

description: Marine physical and geochemical data can be valuable surrogates for predicting the distributions and assemblages of marine species. This study investigated the bio-environment (surrogacy) relationships in Jervis Bay, a sandy marine embayment in south-eastern Australia. A wide range of co-located physical data were analysed together with biological data, including multibeam bathymetry and backscatter surfaces and derivatives, parameters that describe seabed sediment and water column physical/geochemical characteristics and seabed exposure. Three decision tree models and a robust model selection process were applied. The models for three diversity indices and seven out of eight infaunal species explained 32–79% of the variance. A diverse range of physical surrogates for biodiversity were identified. The surrogates are presented in a conceptual model that identifies the mechanisms that potentially link to biodiversity patterns. While some surrogates may exert direct influence over organisms to exposure and chlorophyll-a, for example, most pointed to complex relationships between multiple biological and physical factors occurring in different process domains/zones. The reliable bio-environment relationships identified from co-located samples and conceptual models enabled a mechanistic understanding of benthic biodiversity patterns in a sandy coastal embayment that may have implications for marine environmental management.

description: Over the last decades, the worldwide evolution and advancement of technology interfused nearly all aspects of life, including the conduct of States and non-State actors in armed conflict. The lex specialis governing armed conflicts, international humanitarian law (IHL), has always been challenged by these transformation of conflicts and continuously advancing weaponry. However, those involved in armed conflict situation, especially those taking part in actual combat, are in need of precise regulation or at least interpretation thereof to determine which conduct is lawful and which is not. Therefore modern technologies and the alteration in targeting made possible by their use have to be continuously reassessed for their compliance with IHL and its overall objectives. This thesis will focus on two distinctive types of modern technology, on the one hand unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV) and on the other hand cyber attacks and their (il)legality under the laws of armed conflict.

description: This study determined basic biological data for the European conger eel Conger conger (L.) population in the coastal waters of the eastern Adriatic Sea. Juveniles and immature females dominated the coastal population, whereas males were relatively uncommon. The population structure determined by the study suggested spatial separation of sexes and spawning grounds in deeper waters. Both edge-type and marginal increment analyses confirmed the formation of a single growth annulus per year on the ground otoliths. The observed maximum age of the coastal conger eels was 8 years, although most of the sampled fish were 5 years old. The estimated parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth model suggested that the growth of the conger eels was relatively slow. C. conger is an opportunistic predator. Its diet was composed primarily of fishes, followed by crustaceans and cephalopods. Due to the evident site fidelity of the species, the wide prey spectrum of the conger eels (33 taxa) reflected the local benthic community structure.

description: Um zahlreichen humanitären Katastrophen durch innerstaatliche gewalttätige Auseinandersetzungen zu begegnen, hat eine Kommission, die auf Initiative Kanadas eingerichtete wurde und aus Experten des Völkerrechts verschiedener Nationalitäten bestand, im Jahre 2001 das Konzept der Responsibility to Protect (R2P) entwickelt. Dieser Ansatz basiert auf einem abgestuften Verantwortungsprinzip. Primär ist der jeweilige Staat für den Schutz seiner Bevölkerung verantwortlich. Nur wenn dieser nicht willens oder nicht in der Lage ist, wirksamen Schutz zu gewähren, geht die Schutzverantwortung auf die internationale Staatengemeinschaft über. In den Resolutionen 1970 und 1973 hat sich der Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen erstmals auf das Konzept der Schutzverantwortung berufen.

description: Appropriate selection of environmental variables is critical to the performance of biodiversity models, but has received less attention than the choice of modelling method. Online aggregators of biological and environmental data, such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and the Atlas of Living Australia, necessitate a rational approach to variable selection. We outline a set of general principles for systematically identifying, compiling, evaluating and selecting environmental variables for a biodiversity model. Our approach aims to maximise the information obtained from the analysis of biological records linked to a potentially large suite of spatial environmental variables. We demonstrate the utility of this structured framework through case studies with Australian vascular plants: regional modelling of a species distribution, continent-wide modelling of species compositional turnover and environmental classification. The approach is informed by three components of a biodiversity model: (1) an ecological framework or conceptual model, (2) a data model concerning availability, resolution and variable selection and (3) a method for analysing data. We expand the data model in structuring the problem of choosing environmental variables. The case studies demonstrate a structured approach for the: (1) cost-effective compilation of variables in the context of an explicit ecological framework for the study, attribute accuracy and resolution; (2) evaluation of non-linear relationships between variables using knowledge of their derivation, scatter plots and dissimilarity matrices; (3) selection and grouping of variables based on hypotheses of relative ecological importance and perceived predictor effectiveness; (4) systematic testing of variables as predictors through the process of model building and refinement and (5) model critique, inference and synthesis using direct gradient analysis to evaluate the shape of response curves in the context of ecological theory by presenting predictions in both geographic and environmental space.

description: This study seeks to explore the resilience of the inhabitants of the Indonesian village Kemiri, situated 8 km away from Mount Merapi’s crater. More specifically, it focuses on how gender relations affect people’s resilience towards volcanic eruptions at the community level. While acknowledging the intersectionality with factors such as age, ethnicity, race, religious beliefs, and socioeconomic status when determining vulnerabilities and capacities of communities, the aim of this paper is to examine whether women and men differ in how they experience, respond to, and recover from disasters.
