description: Background. The immunologic factors underlying severe influenza are poorly understood. To address this, we compared the immune responses of influenza-confirmed hospitalized individuals with severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) to those of nonhospitalized individuals with influenza-like illness (ILI).
Methods. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were collected from 27 patients with ILI and 27 with SARI, at time of enrollment and then 2 weeks later. Innate and adaptive cellular immune responses were assessed by flow cytometry, and serum cytokine levels were assessed by a bead-based assay.
Results. During the acute phase, SARI was associated with significantly reduced numbers of circulating myeloid dendritic cells, CD192+ monocytes, and influenza virus–specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells as compared to ILI. By the convalescent phase, however, most SARI cases displayed continued immune activation characterized by increased numbers of CD16+ monocytes and proliferating, and influenza virus–specific, CD8+ T cells as compared to ILI cases. SARI was also associated with reduced amounts of cytokines that regulate T-cell responses (ie, interleukin 4, interleukin 13, interleukin 12, interleukin 10, and tumor necrosis factor β) and hematopoiesis (interleukin 3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) but increased amounts of a proinflammatory cytokine (tumor necrosis factor α), chemotactic cytokines (MDC, MCP-1, GRO, and fractalkine), and growth-promoting cytokines (PDGFBB/AA, VEGF, and EGF) as compared to ILI.
Conclusions. Severe influenza cases showed a delay in the peripheral immune activation that likely led prolonged inflammation, compared with mild influenza cases.

description: This paper claims that participatory approaches to water resource management in New Zealand are highly influenced by how institutional and community actors understand and practise democracy, including indigenous Māori rights under the Treaty of Waitangi. Drawing on case study analysis from a six-year research programme in which the aim was to evaluate existing and new methods for participatory decision-making, we highlight how different but co-existing democratic beliefs and practices, referred to as democratic logics can shape relationships between governance/decision-making bodies and affected communities. One particular case is examined in detail to illustrate how the various “logics” were strengthened, extended and challenged through participatory research methodologies. Our key message is that revealing and articulating existing democratic logics for participation can help promote and facilitate new participatory approaches, as well as increase robustness and community buy-in to local government decision-making.

description: BACKGROUND:The anterior nares are regarded as the primary site for Staphylococcus aureus colonization, although studies have highlighted the potential importance of colonization at extra-nasal sites, including the oropharynx. Accordingly, the aims of this study were to assess the prevalence, persistence and molecular epidemiology of S. aureus colonization in the nares and oropharynx of Māori and Pacific children, a population with strikingly high rates of S. aureus infection.METHODS:A cross-sectional study of predominantly Māori and Pacific school-aged children in Auckland, New Zealand was performed in October 2013, and swabs were taken from the nares and oropharynx. Sampling was repeated from the same schools in October 2014. All S. aureus isolates underwent antimicrobial susceptibility testing and spa typing.RESULTS:Overall, 506/893 (56.7%) children were colonized with S. aureus, and the colonization prevalence was significantly higher in the oropharynx than nares (41.1% vs. 31.5%; P < 0.001). Longitudinal colonization was significantly higher in the oropharynx than the nares, and children with longitudinal oropharyngeal colonization were more likely to be colonized with the same spa type than those colonized in the nares (67.6% vs. 37.0%; P = 0.01). Approximately 40% of children had discordant spa types at the nares and oropharynx.CONCLUSIONS:Oropharyngeal S. aureus colonization represents a significant reservoir of S. aureus and it is possible that the oropharynx may represent a protected anatomical niche, enabling persistent colonization with the same S. aureus strain. Future study should attempt to better understand the determinants of oropharyngeal carriage.

description: The United States, with 25 percent of world peanut exports and 10 percent of world peanut production, is the leading peanut exporter and the third largest producer; only India and China produce more. U.S. production has nearly doubled since the early fifties, chiefly because of increases in yields. Most peanut consumption in the United States is for food, especially peanut butter, whereas most foreign countries use peanuts for oil. Canada is the leading importer of U.S. peanuts.

HOLOTYPE AND ONLY SPECIMEN: AMNH 14741, a left ramus with p2–m3 and a right ramus with p4–m3 and alveoli for a double-rooted p2, single rooted canine, and three incisors (figs. 11, 12).
TYPE LOCALITY: Alkali Creek (Buck Springs) of Wind River Basin, Wyoming. Lost Cabin Member, Wind River Formation, Lower Eocene (Wasatchian NALMA).
DIAGNOSIS: Differs from other species of the genus (except P. robustus) in its large size and deeper ramus. Also differs from other species (including P. robustus) in having a trenchant p2 with four anteroposteriorly aligned cusps; p4 with very small anterior accessory cusps, two main cusps and two low cusps on the shortened heel; p5 with small, but distinct, cuspule at labial base of the paraconid. Similar to Palaeictops matthewi in having a trenchant p4 taller than p5 but differs from P. matthewi in having greater number of cusps on p2 and p4. Similar to Prodiacodon and Myrmecoboides in having lower molar entoconulids, but differs from these taxa in showing characters that diagnose Palaeictops (e.g., large, swollen p5 paraconid).

description: OBJECTIVES:Knowledge of the patterns of antibiotic consumption within a population provides valuable information on when, where and to whom antibiotics are prescribed. Such knowledge is critical in informing possible public health interventions to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use. The aims of this study were to (i) determine national patterns of antibiotic consumption, including assessment of seasonal variation in prescribing, and (ii) explore potential associations between antibiotic consumption and patient characteristics, such as age, sex and ethnicity.METHODS:Data on all subsidized antibiotic dispensing in New Zealand between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2014 were obtained and stratified according to age, sex and ethnicity. Antibiotic dispensing was expressed as the number of DDDs per 1000 population per day (DID).RESULTS:Total antibiotic consumption in New Zealand increased by 49% from 17.3 DID in 2006 to 25.8 DID in 2014. The increase in antibiotic consumption occurred in all ages and amongst all ethnic groups. The use of extended-spectrum penicillins, which almost doubled in the study period, made a major contribution to the overall increase and was highest in young children and in Pacific peoples. Consumption of quinolones increased early in the study period and then declined from 2011 onwards.CONCLUSIONS:Future work should focus on identifying the appropriateness of antibiotic prescribing, particularly for penicillin prescribing in Pacific peoples and children, and on both reducing unwarranted antibiotic use and improving antibiotic selection when therapy is indicated.

description: Since 1989, during Romania’s post-communist transition, almost all industrial facilities in central areas of the city have either shut down or relocated outside the city boundaries. The closed factories left behind over a dozen large brownfield sites very close to the medieval city centre, with each possessing a real potential for urban regeneration. By offering some fiscal incentives, the local authority has been able to attract private sector developers to repurpose the city’s abandoned land. This policy brief showcases a successful smart shrinkage solution to make Timișoara more compact and dense by developing its brownfield sites into brand new large real estate projects for residential and office use. Even though all of these interventions have been private sector-run, the municipality has maintained control over densification by functionally integrating new real estate projects into the urban grid and arranging for their access to public services. Vertical development, thus, emerges as a valuable approach to compacting a shrinking city, especially, if the new inner-city housing can offer an adequate alternative to living in sprawling suburbs.

title: Exploring the Effects of Task Priority on Attention Allocation and Trust Towards Imperfect Automation: A Flight Simulator Study
Creators: name: Sato, Tetsuya
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The present study examined the effect of task priority and task load on attention allocation and automation trust in a multitasking flight simulator platform. Previous research demonstrated that, participants made less fixations and reported lower levels of trust towards the automation in the secondary monitoring under higher load on the primary tracking task (e.g., Karpinsky et al., 2018). The results suggested that participants perceived behaviors of the automated system less accurately due to less attention allocated to monitoring of the system, leading to decreased trust towards it. One potential explanation of the effect is that participants might have prioritized the tracking task due to the elevated task load over monitoring of the automation. The current study employed a 2 x 2 mixed design with task difficulty (low vs. high difficulty) and task priority (equal vs. tracking priority). Participants performed the central tracking task, the system monitoring task, and the fuel management task where the system monitoring was assisted by an imperfect automated system. Participants were instructed to either prioritize the central tracking task over the other two tasks or maximize performance for all tasks. Additionally, participants received feedback on their tracking performance reflecting an anchor of their baseline performance. The data indicated that participants rated lower performance-based trust in a multitasking environment when all tasks were equally prioritized, supporting the notion that task priority modulates the effect of task load.

description: The U.S. rice industry, which includes farmers, handlers, dryers, millers, processors, and traders, is more vertically integrated than other grain markets. The industry has over 300 years of history in the United States and has shown itself adaptable to changes in technology, regional advantage, export markets, environmental concerns, and consumer taste. Although producing only 1 to 2 percent of the world crop, the United States accounts for 16 to 17 percent of world rice trade. About half the U.S. crop is exported each year to diverse markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Canada. Rice production accounts for less than 1 percent of field crop value in the United States. It is more capital-intensive than other grain crops and rice farms are larger than other grain farms. Production is concentrated in six States. Important factors affecting the future of the U.S. rice industry include: the opening of world markets, environmental legislation, new uses for byproducts, and greater income growth in developing countries.
The Christian right in American politics, and support for Israel
Creators: name: D'Hagé, Adrian
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2016

description: The Christian right in America, with a major constituency of conservative evangelicals, many of whom are strong supporters of Israel, reached a zenith of public influence in the Reagan era. In the last decade, however, many political analysts and commentators have dismissed the Christian right as lacking influence in politics in the United States. Some have gone further, arguing that the Christian right is a spent force and no longer relevant to the political process. In the light of those arguments, the core aim of this research has been to determine whether or not the Christian right is still influential in American politics. A second major aim has been to determine the Christian right’s attitudes to, and influence toward, U.S. foreign policy on Israel. The activities, strategies and position of the Christian right in American politics have been researched, including three case studies: an in-depth analysis of Pastor Hagee’s 2.2 million-strong Christians United for Israel (CUFI); the Tea Party movement, which has a strong evangelical component; and a largely unnoticed but potentially powerful campaign to train Christian leaders and elect more Christians to Congress and state legislatures. Many Americans would be surprised to learn that the latter includes Christian political training camps for high school students. With access to some of the most influential Christian right leaders in America today, together with interviews with distinguished political scientists, this research shows that far from being a spent force, the Christian right’s influence on American politics is strengthening. Their concomitant policy demands relating to Israel are biblically based and as a result are largely inflexible, representing an impediment to a just and equitable solution to the Israeli/Palestinian peace process.
Cultural Mulch : an investigation into collectors who create collections of mass produced objects and of the potential significance of those objects in relation to consumer culture

description: Collecting is an activity that stems from humankinds roots as hunters and gathers, when necessity rather than want, was key. This dissertation considers the strategies and motivations behind collecting in the 21st Century and what the significance is of collected objects. It considers the many guises, aims and reasons for collections being made, from the attainment of wealth and status, to the filling of personal voids, or the simple pleasures of belonging to a like-minded group of people. The dissertation charts contemporary influences in collecting behaviour, from an increased interest in celebrity, the push by corporations to market mass-produced collectibles, alternative consumer trends, and what effect the internet has had on the availability of a vast array of objects globally and locally. Back grounded by a diminishing of the earth’s resources and the production of objects at a peak, it considers the notion of futility.

description: The Iounn Society of Intoners and Versifiers, Kvaeoamannafelagio Iounn, was founded in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1929. The founders had migrated from the rural areas at the beginning of the century, looking for work. This study analyses how the Iounn Society shaped the rimur tradition. Rimur are regarded as part of Iceland's literary heritage, documented in written manuscripts with the oldest one dating from around 1380. Historically, rimur were performed by one person using her, or his, own melodies. The melodies were orally transmitted and would change according to the prosody. The audience were the inhabitants of the Icelandic farmhouse, while they sat working (knitting, spinning, etc.) in the evening. These evening sessions were called kv{u00F6}ldvaka and the performance venue used to be the ba{u00F0}stofa, the main room in the old turf farmhouse, where most of the inhabitants would sleep, eat and spend their indoor-time. Moving from the rural to the urban areas meant a drastic change, not only for the members but also for the tradition itself, as it now became entertainment at a social gathering. This study illuminates how the rimur tradition was shaped by the Iounn Society in the context of nation-building, class and power. At the same time this is a discussion about tradition and traditionalism. The Iounn Society took strong ownership of the rimur tradition, but was mainly concerned with the performance aspect. In order to preserve the melodies, they recorded 200 rimur melodies in 1935. The study analyses the melodies, compares them to another source of folk songs Islenzk pjodlog, and examines the conduct of Iounn. The expression 'Deep Freeze' contains the essential truth about the history of Iounn's dealings with the rimur tradition: freezing may preserve but it also immobilizes, while a thaw offers at least the chance of reincarnation into a renewed life.

description: In 2014, a sustained outbreak of yersiniosis due to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis occurred across all major cities in New Zealand (NZ), with a total of 220 laboratory-confirmed cases, representing one of the largest ever reported outbreaks of Y. pseudotuberculosis. Here, we performed whole genome sequencing of outbreak-associated isolates to produce the largest population analysis to date of Y. pseudotuberculosis, giving us unprecedented capacity to understand the emergence and evolution of the outbreak clone. Multivariate analysis incorporating our genomic and clinical epidemiological data strongly suggested a single point-source contamination of the food chain, with subsequent nationwide distribution of contaminated produce. We additionally uncovered significant diversity in key determinants of virulence, which we speculate may help explain the high morbidity linked to this outbreak.

description: The effects of gynaecological conditions and hysterectomy on psycho-social and sexual health are analysed in relation to the experience of 930 Western Australian women. The participants in the main survey were recruited from a simple random sample of 50 general medical practices in metropolitan Perth. According to their responses they were assigned to one of three groups: healthy, gynaecological conditions, hysterectomy. Although there were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of sexual activity across the groups, depression and self esteem scores were significantly worse for women with gynaecological conditions. Of these women, those with endometriosis were more likely to be depressed and reported on average the lowest scores on self-esteem. Women's ability to orgasm was equally distributed across the three groups and did not appear to be directly associated with gynaecological dysfunction or hysterectomy.

description: U.S. sunflowerseed production increased tenfold during the 1970's and approached 6 million acres, but declined to less than 2 million acres by the late 1980's, ranking 17th in value among U.S. field crops. Output rose in response to growing demand for sunflowerseed oil and declined because of increased competition abroad and increasingly attractive returns from competing crops and land uses at home. Recent changes in domestic agricultural policies, combined with increased marketing opportunities both at home and abroad, have led to renewed interest in sunflowers among producers, processors, and input industries. Also, the relatively low level of saturated fat in sunflowerseed oil and its other technical characteristics have increased the oil's popularity among consumers. This report describes the U.S. sunflower industry from producers to consumers and provides a single source of economic and statistical information on sunflowers.
Assessment of contamination levels in methamphetamine-tested properties in New Zealand

description: In November 2016, whilst in draft, the New Zealand Standard (NZS8510:2017) for the “Testing and Decontamination of Methamphetamine-Contaminated Properties” considered two acceptable post-decontamination re-occupancy methamphetamine levels; 1.5 μg/100 cm2 if the contamination was caused by smoking methamphetamine and 0.5 μg/100 cm2 if the contamination was caused by the manufacture of methamphetamine. In response to this, research carried out at this laboratory included the analysis of data obtained from over a thousand pre-decontamination property test reports with the aim of understanding the variation in the levels of contamination, that could be expected, among the wider New Zealand (contaminated) housing stock. The vast majority of the reports originated from public sector agency properties where methamphetamine was suspected to have been used. Although it could not be ruled-out, none of the properties had been associated with any suspicion of drug production. Thus, a further intention of the study was to assess and portray the levels of contamination that would be expected to be produced through methamphetamine use, commonly smoking. As such, it is expected that the data might be useful from an environmental exposure perspective and inform further research in this area. The assessment also discusses its potential as evidence in criminal cases where there may be discrepancies concerning the source of the methamphetamine contamination in relation to “Use of premises” and associated charges under Section 12 of the Misuse of Drugs Act (New Zealand) 1975. Regardless, the final New Zealand standard, released in June 2017, set a single decontamination level for ‘high-use areas’ of 1.5 μg/100 cm2 and a less stringent decontamination level for ‘limited-use areas’ of 3.8 μg/100 cm2, with no requirement to determine the origin of the contamination.

When a similar drop falls onto a textile surface these same processes may occur, but the process of blood wicking into the fabric complicates stain formation. These processes are described within for passive drip stains collected under controlled conditions using anticoagulated porcine blood. Three stages of this impact process were identified and could be separated into distinct time zones: (1) spreading (time t≤2.5ms) and (2) retraction (2.5≤t≤12ms) on the surface with potential splashing at the periphery, and (3) wicking (30ms ≤t≤30min) of the blood into the fabric. Although wetting and wicking may also occur for t<30ms, the vast majority of wetting and wicking occur after this time and thus the short-time wicking can be ignored. In addition, the number of satellite stains correlates with the surface roughness with the number of satellites for jersey knit>plain-woven>cardboard. Conversely, the size of the satellite stains correlates with the amount of wicking in the fabric with the satellite stain size for plain-woven>jersey knit>cardboard.

description: From previous studies, the effects of expenditure on economic growth appear to provide mixed results. Despite this uncertainty, theory suggests that expenditure induce growth. In Kenya, economic growth has been fluctuating despite the devolved expenditure increasing over time. It is against this background that this study was carried out to investigate empirically the short-run and long-run effect of components of county spending on growth in Kenya using panel data set over the period 2013 to 2017. Employing Harris-Tzavalis test, the study tested for the panel unit root and found that all variables were non-stationary at their level except gross county product (GCP). To check if the variables have long-run relationship, this study applied F bounds test. The result for this test revealed that there exists a long-run relationship among the GCP growth and regressors in the model. Once co-integrating was confirmed using F-bound, the long-run and ECM estimates of the ARDL model were obtained. The ARDL results revealed that spending on recurrent expenditure exerts a positive and significant effect on economic growth both in short-run and long-run hence confirming Keynesian theory in Kenya. However, capital expenditure was insignificant during the study period. From a recommendation standpoint, this study submits that the policymakers need to put in place policies that will improve budget allocation and execution so as to improve expenditure increase to capital infrastructure. This is necessary since counties lack infrastructures that help promote private capital accumulation and consequently county GCP.

description: Circoviruses are circular, non-enveloped, single-stranded DNA viruses around 2000 nucleotides (nt) in length and include the pathogenic species, Porcine circovirus 1 and Beak and feather disease virus, capable of causing significant morbidity and mortality. This group of viruses may be robust to degradation by external environments, and avian circoviruses are known to move between closely related hosts. Using a de novo metagenomic approach, followed by confirmatory PCR, we identify for the first time a circular Rep-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA virus in New Zealand kiwi, Apteryx spp., derived from faecal matter of the rowi kiwi (A. rowi) showing signs of verminous dermatitis. The entire 2085 nt genome was cloned and sequenced and contains both capsid and replicase genes, as well as a conserved 9 nt motif. Phylogenetic analyses place it within Circoviridae, adjacent to other environmental CRESS-DNA viruses, and most closely related to badger circovirus-like virus (Meles meles circovirus-like virus). As the rowi is the most critically endangered kiwi, it is vital to understand the role of rowi kiwi circovirus-like virus as a possible pathogen and also any potential cross-species transmission.

Palaeictops robustus

description: Palaeictops robustus, new species
Figures 16–18, table 1
HOLOTYPE: CM 11954, consisting of a damaged skull that retains P1–P2, P4–M3 on the left side; the right side retains one incisor possibly corresponding to I2, as well as P4–M1 (fig. 16A–B). Left ramus with i1–3, c, p1, p2, and edentulous right ramus (figs. 17, 18).
TYPE HORIZON AND LOCALITY: Leland Bench Wash, 4 mi. west of Ouray, Utah; Wagonhound Member, Uinta B horizon, Middle Eocene (Uintan NALMA).
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin robustus, “hard” or “strong.” Refers to the notably large size of the skull.
DIAGNOSIS: Teeth (badly worn) less transverse than in Prodiacodon or Myrmecoboides. Single sagittal crest unlike Leptictis but like Palaeictops altimontis and P. bicuspis (figs. 2A, 13A, 16A; Novacek, 1986: fig. 2). Significantly larger than all other North American leptictid species (see table 1; cf. Novacek, 1977: table 2).
DESCRIPTION AND COMPARISONS: The skull of Palaeictops robustus, despite its poor condition, reveals several features of taxonomic interest. It possesses traits that are shared with Palaeictops altimontis but differ in Leptictis. There is only a single sagittal crest (fig. 16A). The postglenoid process (though damaged) is weak and confined to the lateral glenoid region. The postglenoid foramen is posterior (rather than posteromedial) to the postglenoid process (fig. 16A). The promontorium is broad and rounded, with a very weak median petrosal crest. There is a broadly expanded dorsal lip of the cochlear fossula.
The right side of the skull shows the base of a large canine. Anterior to this tooth, there is a damaged alveolus and, more anteriorly, the base of an incisor. Beyond the incisor, the premaxilla protrudes to form the floor to the external nares. There is no clear evidence of additional incisor alveoli, so it is likely that the tooth in question is I2, and as in other leptictids, there were only two upper incisors. The dorsal rim of the coronoid process of the mandible is rounded, rather than the hooklike dorsal coronoid process of Leptictis and Prodiacodon tauricinerei (figs. 17, 18).
REMARKS: The teeth in this specimen are so badly worn that reference to Leptictidae is open to question. However, the last upper premolar is of dimensions that suggest its molariform construction (fig. 16A–B). Otherwise, Palaeictops robustus might just as well be a pantolestid. This species marks the youngest occurrence of Palaeictops.

title: Building on shifting sands: co-operation and morality in the new Chinese co-operative movement

description: Since the beginning of China’s transition to a market economy, there have been other voices, calling for a different kind of change. One such voice is the co-operative movement, which has continued to grow in recent years. However, China’s new co-operatives suffer from widespread problems, which vitiate the principles put forward by activists. Based on two years of multi-sited fieldwork in the cooperative movement, this thesis explores the experience of the co-operatives, and the activists and institutions which promote them.
 Framing the analysis in terms of the cultural evolution of co-operation, it argues that the cooperatives are threatened by a range of factors. The erosion of social capital and material interdependence resulting from urbanisation and modernisation tends to undermine the foundations of the system of mutual aid based on indirect reciprocity. Meanwhile, the trauma of the Cultural Revolution and the uncertainty of the reform era have rendered alternative forms of collectivistic morality equally unable to support co-operation.
 While many co-operatives have succeeded by carefully avoiding any form of co-operation which requires trust or costly monitoring, some problems cannot be solved in this way. In particular, the thesis argues that participation in democratic decision-making is itself a collective action problem, which co-operatives cannot, by their very nature, avoid. And when activists and the state provide resources to help overcome these challenges, the result is often a ‘crowding out’ of co-operation.
 Finally, the thesis explores the idea that the difficulties of the co-operatives may reflect a shift in the psychological underpinnings of co-operation in wider Chinese society. Through a combination of life history interviews with young people experiencing moral conflict, and a psychometric survey designed to measure differences in moral reasoning, it argues that non-market forms of cooperation are being undermined by a process of interlinked social and psychological change.
Reconceptualising fault in the criminal law : a defence of reasonable mistake of law
Creators: name: Amirthalingam, Kumaralingam

description: This is a thesis about criminal culpability and the need for a moral theory of criminal fault. The liberal positivist ideal of separating law and morals has resulted in the moral reductionism of the doctrine of mens rea. Originally a normative concept that was used to evaluate blameworthiness in moral terms, mens rea has been transformed into a descriptive concept that merely identifies the technical, psychological mental states that are required for particular offences. It is argued that the doctrine of mens rea should be recast in an overt normative mould. This work does not suggest that the morality of prohibited conduct or the moral virtue of the accused be brought into question in determining culpability. The thesis merely argues that morally innocent accused should not be subjected to criminal liability. In order to achieve this, the thesis reconceptualises criminal fault in terms of moral blameworthiness. The doctrine of mens rea is consequently reconstructed so that it can be expressly used to attribute moral blameworthiness more fairly. It is argued in this dissertation that a person is morally blameworthy when he or she engages in prohibited activity, knowing that it is illegal, or where he or she ought to have known, that it is illegal. Where an accused was reasonably ignorant or mistaken as to the legality of the conduct, he or she should be regarded as morally (and hence, legally) innocent. Thus, the legal rule that ignorance of law is not a defence is unfair, contrary to fundamental principles of justice and can no longer be supported. It is proposed that a general defence of reasonable mistake of law be recognised. The work exposes a hidden normative doctrine of fault. Because this normative doctrine is formally suppressed, internal contradictions in the key notions of culpability are inevitable. It is demonstrated that by relying on theoretical, historical, doctrinal and comparative analyses, these contradictions can be resolved.

description: Ramos and Gonzalez-Rodriguez introduce the concept of calibration in order to determine whether a system of evidence presentation is a reliable assessor of evidential weight. In this paper, we apply this calibration method to a dataset of mixed forensic DNA profiles generated using the QIAGEN Investigator® 24plex QS Kit and interpreted using the probabilistic genotyping software STRmix™.We describe the methodology for applying calibration to sets of forensic DNA profiles. We observe an approximate correspondence of the posterior probability, as assigned from the LR and the prior odds, with the observed rate of true donors for this dataset.
The Mailu : a study of the changing structure of local groups
Creators: name: Abbi, Behari Lal
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1964
Subjects: subject: Mailu (Papua New Guinean people) Social life and customs

description: This study is concerned with the description and analysis of the social structure of the Mailu people of Papua who have been under the political and administrative control of Europeans (at first British and later Australian) since about I89O. It seeks in particular to describe the changing structure of Mailu local groups since their incorporation into what is now the Territory of Papua and New Guinea, politically controlled and administered by the Commonwealth of Australia. Though focused on the structure of local groups, the study has two general aims: first, to gain insight into the nature of the interdependence between different parts of contemporary Mailu social structure; secondly, to assess continuity and change in that structure as a social process moving through time.
