description: SOMMARIO: 1. Preambolo - 2. Tra Riforma e Rivoluzione. “Controriforma” e dottrine dei diritti - 3. Tra “lacune” conciliari ed esaltazione del primato: incertezze di fronte alla constatazione di rilevanti problematiche di armonizzazione applicativa dei decreti tridentini con il Corpus juris canonici. Difficoltà di individuare un percorso di convincente superamento dello stallo: crisi del carisma di mediazione della canonistica? - 4. Un concilio ad usum Curiae , attuato con modalità plebiscitarie, propizie all’accesso a modelli napoleonici di produzione giuridica, per seppellire il pluralismo della Tradizione canonica (già colpito col divieto delle liturgie cinesi e malabariche e la eliminazione delle reducciònes amazzoniche) - 5. Dalla scomparsa della communitas utentium alla sostituzione (Kuttner) dell’antica piattaforma consuetudinaria del diritto con l’idea di una sua creazione discendente, alimentata dal mito di un’inerranza papale. Adattamento di tale credenza alle strategie di potere della Curia - 6. La modernità ecclesiastica (Fantappiè) mediata dalla liquidazione, nel ventennio 1904-1923, di qualsiasi forma di sindacato sugli atti di esercizio del potere esecutivo (fino all’esenzione dei suoi addetti da accuse giustiziabili per abusus potestatis, oltre che da responsabilità ex lege aquilia) - Fine della divisione dei poteri. Rinvio - 7. Il tentativo fallito di Paolo VI di introdurre elementi di giustizia amministrativa importati (manipolandoli) dai sistemi a Conseil d’Etat; loro ulteriore svuotamento mediante deroghe della produzione normativa (poi ampliate nella prassi di Curia) dalle guide-lines indicate al legislatore dal Sinodo dei Vescovi del 1967. Concerning the “disappearance of rights” in the Latin Church of the 20th century. Fragments of an epochal mutation in the peaceful coexistence of ecclesiastic institutions ABSTRACT: The article intends to review the major milestones in the historical dynamics of ecclesiastic politics prior to the establishment of the Code of Canon Law. The perspective adopted is one of broad contextualization rather than mere critique of the events and the historical actors of thosetimes. The article closes with a reflection on the effects of the antimodernist and antiliberal posture of the Holy Seed, which led to the development of a movement for a codification aimed at eliminating any separation of powers within the Church.

After some preliminary remarks on the concept of secularisation related to Canon Law, it identifies and examines some recent examples or models of secularisation affecting the historical development of Canon Law: the Codification of Canon Law, the proposal of a canonical Constitution of the Church, and the debate concerning the fundamental Rights of the Christian Faithful. In the end, the author focuses on the limits of Canon Law and its relationship with secular legal systems in the current age.

description: Earth co-orbitals of the horseshoe type are interesting objects to study for practical reasons. They are relatively easy to access from our planet and that makes them attractive targets for sample return missions. Here, we show that near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 2015 SO2 is a transient co-orbital to the Earth that experiences a rather peculiar orbital evolution characterised by recurrent, alternating horseshoe and quasi-satellite episodes. It is currently following a horseshoe trajectory, the ninth asteroid known to do so. Besides moving inside the 1:1 mean motion resonance with the Earth, it is subjected to a Kozai resonance with the value of the argument of perihelion librating around 270 degrees. Contrary to other NEAs, asteroid 2015 SO2 may have remained in the vicinity of Earth's co-orbital region for a few hundreds of thousands of years.

State and Local Hazardous Waste Management — A Framework for Action?
Creators: name: Pierson, Terrence K.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1981

description: The management of hazardous waste has been referred to by many experts in the field as the environmental problem of the 1980s. Recognition of the problem, however, began and grew throughout the 1970s. For example, Section 212 of the Resource Recovery Act of 1970 required that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prepare a comprehensive report to Congress on the storage and disposal of hazardous waste. In the 1974 report, EPA concluded that the prevailing methods of hazardous waste management were inadequate and resulted in the uncontrolled discharge of hazardous waste residues into the environment (U.S. EPA, 1977). As a result, the Administration proposed that Congress enact legislation to prevent dangerous and environmentally unsound hazardous waste treatment and disposal practices (U.S. EPA, 1977) - Congress responded by enacting the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 which is aimed at the regulatory control of hazardous waste from its generation to its ultimate disposal. Thus, throughout the 1970s there was a growing concern at the federal level over the risk posed to the public health and the environment from improper hazardous waste disposal practices.

description: Brief Overview: Some studies in psychology argue that a growing multiracial population—those who identify with two or more racial backgrounds—will coincide with societal shifts that will improve race relations in the United States. While such sentiment appears to be positive, there may be negative consequences of discourses that exaggerate racial progress. Discourses meant to celebrate racial diversity can, paradoxically, cause give rise to ideologies that undermine racial progress, creating climates in which it is difficult to promote anti-racist interventions. Therefore, discourses that imply the growth of multiracial populations will improve race relations and race-related issues may cause White people to remain complacent toward racism. In this registration, we provide the following: hypotheses, an overview of the methods, IV and DVs, an overview of data collection/sample, description of our power analysis, data analysis plan, and exclusion criteria.

Reasonable Accommodation Based on Religion in Law and Diversity Management ABSTRACT: The ban on discrimination against workers grounded on religion is a fundamental principle enshrined in the European Union’s primary legislation and anti-discrimination law. However, currently, there is no binding provision at this level of legislation which imposes on employers to adopt reasonable accommodation based on this category. Many scholars promote the adoption of this measure based on religion. Still, the recent jurisprudence of the Court of Justice does not seem encouraging in this sense. In light of this situation, the article aims to investigate the reasons underlying the limitations of the hard law provisions and the implications of the shift from the level of the mandatory norm to that of policy and diversity management in accommodating religious diversity at work, with particular regard to Muslim women working in the private sector. European institutions seem to delegate the law-related function of social orientation to policy and diversity management. Various critical issues emerge from this process of de-juridification, although diversity management generates some good practices, also within the so-called Diversity Charters. With the aim to support the implementation of reasonable religion-based accommodation, this article suggests rethinking the anti-discrimination law and diversity management from an intercultural perspective.

Environmental Quality as a Planning Objective: Trends since 1970
Creators: name: Hufschmidt, Maynard M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1979

description: Following World War II, a national consensus emerged in the United States on the objectives of full employment and economic growth--objectives which, along with national security, were to dominate national policy for the next twenty years. By the early 1960s, great progress had been made in achieving these goals. Overall, unemployment rates were low, real per-capita income had shown steady increases, prices were stable, and the Cold War crisis had abated. The very success in achieving economic growth and stability objectives led the Nation to turn attention to other pressing domestic issues. Two of these assumed great importance--the "war on poverty" and environmental quality; along with Vietnam, these issues dominated United States policy in the Johnson and first Nixon administrations. Both the war on poverty and Vietnam issues reached their peak in the late 1960s and were already on the decline in importance when the issue of environmental quality rose to national importance in 1970.

description: We study the problem of few-shot physically-aware articulated mesh generation. By observing an articulated object dataset containing only a few examples, we wish to learn a model that can generate diverse meshes with high visual fidelity and physical validity. Previous mesh generative models either have difficulties in depicting a diverse data space from only a few examples or fail to ensure physical validity of their samples. Regarding the above challenges, we propose two key innovations, including 1) a hierarchical mesh deformation-based generative model based upon the divide-and-conquer philosophy to alleviate the few-shot challenge by borrowing transferrable deformation patterns from large scale rigid meshes and 2) a physics-aware deformation correction scheme to encourage physically plausible generations. We conduct extensive experiments on 6 articulated categories to demonstrate the superiority of our method in generating articulated meshes with better diversity, higher visual fidelity, and better physical validity over previous methods in the few-shot setting. Further, we validate solid contributions of our two innovations in the ablation study. Project page with code is available at https://meowuu7.github.io/few-arti-obj-gen.

Residential Segregation in North Carolina
Creators: name: Freeman, Lance
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: When blacks and whites reacted so differently to the verdict of the O.J. Simpson trial, many observers commented that it was almost as though the two races inhabited two different worlds. Unfortunately, this comment is not as much an exaggeration as many would think. Although blacks are increasingly present in corporate America, the entertainment industry, politics, and other spheres of public life, blacks and whites for the most part still live in separate residential communities. Research by social scientists has found that levels of residential segregation (hereafter referred to as segregation) between blacks and whites remained high in most metropolitan regions as of 1990 (Farley and Frey 1994). This is true even though more than a quarter of a century has elapsed since the passage of the 1968 Fair Housing Act. This article discusses the causes and consequences of segregation. Data is presented to illustrate segregation levels in North Carolina by county, based on the 1990 census. To conclude, the article discusses the policy implications of segregation.
Quantitative spectral analysis of the sdB star HD 188112: a helium-core white dwarf progenitor

description: HD 188112 is a bright (V = 10.2 mag) hot subdwarf B (sdB) star with a mass too low to ignite core helium burning and is therefore considered as a pre-extremely low mass (ELM) white dwarf (WD). ELM WDs (M $\le$ 0.3 Msun) are He-core objects produced by the evolution of compact binary systems. We present in this paper a detailed abundance analysis of HD 188112 based on high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) near and far-ultraviolet spectroscopy. We also constrain the mass of the star's companion. We use hybrid non-LTE model atmospheres to fit the observed spectral lines and derive the abundances of more than a dozen elements as well as the rotational broadening of metallic lines. We confirm the previous binary system parameters by combining radial velocities measured in our UV spectra with the already published ones. The system has a period of 0.60658584 days and a WD companion with M $\geq$ 0.70 Msun. By assuming a tidally locked rotation, combined with the projected rotational velocity (v sin i = 7.9 $\pm$ 0.3 km s$^{-1}$) we constrain the companion mass to be between 0.9 and 1.3 Msun. We further discuss the future evolution of the system as a potential progenitor of a (underluminous) type Ia supernova. We measure abundances for Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, and Zn, as well as for the trans-iron elements Ga, Sn, and Pb. In addition, we derive upper limits for the C, N, O elements and find HD 188112 to be strongly depleted in carbon. We find evidence of non-LTE effects on the line strength of some ionic species such as Si II and Ni II. The metallic abundances indicate that the star is metal-poor, with an abundance pattern most likely produced by diffusion effects.

description: Shadows of black holes surrounded by an optically thin emitting medium have been extensively discussed in the literature. The Hioki-Maeda algorithm is a simple recipe to characterize the shape of these shadows and determine the parameters of the system. Here we extend their idea to the case of a dressed black hole, namely a black hole surrounded by a geometrically thin and optically thick accretion disk. While the boundary of the shadow of black holes surrounded by an optically thin emitting medium corresponds to the apparent photon capture sphere, that of dressed black holes corresponds to the apparent image of the innermost stable circular orbit. Even in this case, we can characterize the shape of the shadow and infer the black hole spin and viewing angle. The shape and the size of the shadow of a dressed black hole are strongly affected by the black hole spin and inclination angle. Despite that, it seems that we cannot extract any additional information from it. Here we study the possibility of testing the Kerr metric. Even with the full knowledge of the boundary of the shadow, those of Kerr and non-Kerr black holes are very similar and it is eventually very difficult to distinguish the two cases.

This paper studies the main topics related to the agreements from the constitutional perspective: the participation of the head of the State in the appointment of bishops (particularly the Military Vicar General); the teaching of the Catholic religion in the public school; the Catholic military chaplains in the armed forces; or the public financing of the Catholic Church through the personal income tax. Finally, the paper analyzes the agreements as a technique of cooperation between the State and the Catholic Church.

description: The presence of megaparsec-scale radio halos in galaxy clusters has already been established by many observations over the last two decades. The emerging explanation for the formation of these giant sources of diffuse synchrotron radio emission is that they trace turbulent regions in the intracluster medium, where particles are trapped and accelerated during cluster mergers. Our current observational knowledge is, however, mainly limited to massive systems. Here we present observations of a sample of 14 mass-selected galaxy clusters, i.e. $M_{\rm 500} > 4\times10^{14}$~M${_\odot}$, in the Southern Hemisphere, aimed to study the occurrence of radio halos in low mass clusters and test the correlation between the radio halo power at 1.4 GHz $P_{\rm 1.4}$ and the cluster mass $M_{\rm 500}$. Our observations were performed with the 7-element Karoo Array Telescope at 1.86 GHz. We found three candidates to host diffuse cluster-scale emission and derived upper limits at the level of $0.6 - 1.9 \times 10^{24}$~Watt~Hz$^{-1}$ for $\sim 50\%$ of the clusters in the sample, significantly increasing the number of clusters with radio halo information in the considered mass range. Our results confirm that bright radio halos in less massive galaxy clusters are statistically rare.

The exercise of worship in the health emergency from Covid-19 in Italy ABSTRACT: The Italian government has issued regulatory provisions during the lockdown due to health emergency from Covid-19, in order to prevent the spread of epidemiological outbreaks. These new rules have not fulfilled the agreements made with Catholic Church, specificly article 2 of Agreement 1984, especially about the freedom of management and organization of pastoral activities, and they have imposed serious restrictions on the right to religious freedom too. In particular, in order to avoid gatherings, the emergency rules have suppressed the religious ceremonies, as well as masses and last rites. Only recently the right to exercise worship was partially allowed and on May 7th, 2020, a Protocol was signed with Italian Episcopal Conference for the gradual reopening of the celebrations coram populo. The issue concerns the balance between the right to health and the rights of freedom. The question is whether this balance of rights was correctly applied.

Understanding the Political and Economic Context of Urban Development
Creators: name: Robinson, Carla
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1983

description: During the late sixties, economists, sociologists, urban planners, and other students of urban phenomena increasingly investigated alternative theoretical perspectives from which these phenomena could be examined. This activity was motivated partly by events such as the urban rebellions that signaled that all was not well in the cities of the United States, and partly by dissatisfaction with traditional or "orthodox" approaches to urban phenomena. The dissatisfaction with traditional views stemmed from disagreement with the assumptions on which traditional approaches were based and from the inability to adequately explain the urban situation of the sixties. Many of the investigations that emerged during this period were based on Marxist analysis. Two topics receiving particular attention were the political economy of urban development and the theory of the state. The state as used here refers to the political organization constituting the basis of civil government and social life. This paper brings together the literature on the political economy of urban development and the theory of the state that emerged during and after the late sixties. This is done in an effort to determine what these theories can contribute to our understanding of the general context within which planning takes place. Putting both the analysis of urban development and the analysis of the state in the context of the larger political and economic structure of society can provide important insights into urban life by allowing various dimensions and interrelations to be examined.

A Genealogy ABSTRACT: On 30 July 2019, the Church of England signed an Agreement with the Italian State pursuant to art. 8, last paragraph, of the Italian Constitution. The Agreement is the first following Sentence no. 52 of 2016 by the Italian Constitutional Court, a judgement which was highly criticized by the doctrine as it gave too few attentions to concrete problems which affect minority denominations. As expected, the Agreement presents the same flaws of the previous ones to which is actually similar. More precisely, it seems to borrow entire articles from them, simply making systematic adjustments of the provisions. For these reasons, it seems possible to make ‘a genealogy’ of it in order to detect the juridical roots of its content and, therefore, a sort of evolution in the process of standardization. The operation seems to reveal a progressive loss of relevance of the negotiations on content, as the sole purpose of the Agreements seems to be to grant to denominational parties the set of privileges consolidated over time.

description: The Gaia mission started its regular observing program in the summer of 2014, and since then it is regularly obtaining observations of asteroids. This paper draws the outline of the data processing for Solar System objects, and in particular on the daily "short-term" processing, from the on-board data acquisition to the ground-based processing. We illustrate the tools developed to compute predictions of asteroid observations, we discuss the procedures implemented by the daily processing, and we illustrate some tests and validations of the processing of the asteroid observations. Our findings are overall consistent with the expectations concerning the performances of Gaia and the effectiveness of the developed software for data reduction.

description: The relationship between stellar populations and the ionizing flux with which they irradiate their surroundings has profound implications for the evolution of the intergalactic medium. We quantify the ionizing flux arising from synthetic stellar populations which incorporate the evolution of interacting binary stars. We determine that these show ionizing flux boosted by 60 per cent at 0.05 < Z < 0.3 Z_sun and a more modest 10-20 per cent at near-Solar metallicities relative to star-forming populations in which stars evolve in isolation. The relation of ionizing flux to observables such as 1500A continuum and ultraviolet spectral slope is sensitive to attributes of the stellar population including age, star formation history and initial mass function. For a galaxy forming 1 M_sun yr^{-1}, observed at > 100 Myr after the onset of star formation, we predict a production rate of photons capable of ionizing hydrogen, N_ion = 1.4 x 10^{53} s^{-1} at Z = Z_sun and 3.5 x 10^{53} s^{-1} at 0.1 Z_sun, assuming a Salpeter-like initial mass function. We evaluate the impact of these issues on the ionization of the intergalactic medium, finding that the known galaxy populations can maintain the ionization state of the Universe back to z ~ 9, assuming that their luminosity functions continue to M_UV = -10, and that constraints on the intergalactic medium at z ~ 2 - 5 can be satisfied with modest Lyman continuum photon escape fractions of 4 - 24 per cent depending on assumed metallicity.

La religion dans les constitutions africaines: l’Afrique francophone entre héritage laïque et traditions religieuses

Ruptures et résurgence des spécificités africaines - 3.2. Réinvestissement du religieux dans l’espace public - 3.3. Références religieuses dans les nouvelles constitutions - 4. Conclusion - Références bibliographiques. RÉSUMÉ: Alors que l’importance croissante de la religion en Afrique est un phénomène bien connu, les références religieuses dans les révisions constitutionnelles de ces dernières années est, en revanche, moins soulignée. L’héritage laïque greffé dans toutes les Constitutions d’Afrique francophone est à l’épreuve de pressantes revendications religieuses. Cette légitimation du religieux dans les chartes constitutionnelles donne lieu à son instrumentalisation par le politique et met en péril l’équilibre des forces sociales, juridiques et institutionnelles dans les pays francophones. Cette situation soulève ainsi la récurrente problématique de la réception, en Afrique, de modèles constitutionnels étrangers et plus généralement celle du statut des sources du droit en Afrique. Le rejet des modèles importés qu’on observe, sous le signe de l’authenticité africaine permettra-t-il de fonder l’État de droit sur des valeurs endogènes? Les dynamismes internes des sociétés africaines peuvent constituer des facteurs sur lesquels l’État africain peut s’appuyer pour, espérons-le, produire un modèle constitutionnel favorisant une gestion cultuelle beaucoup plus stable.

description: Gigahertz (GHz) imaging using hard X-rays ($\gtrsim$ 10 keV) can be useful to high-temperature plasma experiments, as well as research using coherent photons from synchrotron radiation and X-ray free electron lasers. GHz framing rate can be achieved by using multiple cameras through multiplexing. The advantages and trade-offs of single-photon detection mode, when no more than one X-ray photon is detected per pixel, are given. Two possible paths towards X-ray imaging at GHz frame rates using a single camera are a.) Avalanche photodiode arrays of high-Z materials and b.) Microchannel plate photomultipliers in conjunction with materials with large indices of refraction.

description: We present a combined study with conventional far-infrared and time-domain terahertz ellipsometry of the temperature dependent optical response of SrTiO3 thin films (85 and 8.5 nm) that are grown by pulsed-laser deposition on LSAT substrates. We demonstrate that terahertz ellipsometry is very sensitive to the optical response of these thin films, in particular, to the soft mode of SrTiO3. We show that for the 85 nm film the eigenfrequency of the soft mode is strongly reduced by annealing at 1200 C, whereas for the 8.5 nm film it is hardy affected. For the latter, after annealing the mode remains at 125 cm-1 at 300 K and exhibits only a weak softening to about 90 cm-1 at 10 K. This suggests that this ultrathin film undergoes hardly any relaxation of the compressive strain due to the LSAT substrate.

description: Over the past five years, Hispanic immigration has hit a critical mass in North Carolina as a result of explosive population growth among immigrant populations. This is especially true in the State’s smaller towns, many of which had a minimal number of immigrants until recently. In an effort to address the perceived social ills associated with large numbers of undocumented, foreign immigrants, several of North Carolina’s towns and counties have passed explicitly anti-immigrant ordinances, including the following: requiring English to be used when public employees are conducting business and governmental duties; denying benefits and services to undocumented immigrants; imposing sanctions and fines on employers and landlords; and training local law enforcement officials to become “immigration agents.”

The Union of Italian Jewish Communities between adherence to Orthodox Judaism and representation of all Jew in Italy: Is the constitutional Agreement of 1987 with the Italian State still adequate? ABSTRACT: Relations between Italian Judaism and the Italian State are governed legally by the Agreement (“Intesa”) concluded in 1987 pursuant to Article 8 of the Italian Constitution, enforced by Law No. 101 of 1989.The organization of the Italian Jewish communities and their central “Union” is governed by the By-Laws (“Statuto”) adopted by them at that time, which reflect the Intesa. In conformity also with the tradition of Italian Judaism local communities take care of all Jewish activities, religious, social or educational, and the Unione officially represents all Jews and Jewish groups. Since 1987 however, there has been an explosion of various Jewish groups and denominations in Italy, from the Lubavitch to Reformed groups, which organize themselves autonomously. These groups considers themselves part of Italian Judaism and recognize more or less the central role of the local communities and Unione. However they increasingly ask a say in the latter management.. The issue discussed in the paper is whether the unitary structure of Italian Judaism, as enshrined in Intesa and recognized by Italian public authorities, is still adequate to cope with this evolution, and whether a plurality of independent Jewish organizations, separately recognized by Italian authorities would be compatible with Article 8 of the Constitution and preferable in practice.
