title: Rights under the 1997, 2006 and 2007 Thai Constitutions: Influences on, and Uses by, the Advantaged
Creators: name: Bishop, Sarah
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis draws on analysis of Thai-language constitution drafting records and court decisions to explore the Thai experience with rights recognition and litigation under the 1997, 2006 and 2007 Thai constitutions. In doing so, it focuses especially on the rights to equality, non-discrimination, human dignity and life and body; and the influence on the recognition of those rights and uses of those rights made by those who were advantaged. The motivation for this exploration came from a sense that existing portrayals of the Thai experience with constitutional rights recognition and litigation in that period were limited in their scope and often inaccurate, and that the lack of breadth and the inaccuracies in the portrayals could reflect broader distortions in the study of law in contexts like that in Thailand that have been observed by others and could have undesirable real-world consequences. Within the Thai context this thesis is significant primarily for four reasons. The first is because it shows the presence of dynamics behind the constitutional recognition of rights that suggest a much greater significance for that recognition than do most existing analyses. The second is because it shows an extent of engagement with the rights that is much greater than is reflected in the existing literature, and so contributes to challenging ideas of a particular Thai aversion to engaging rights. The third is because it shows a variety of engagement with the rights and constitutions, and impacts of that engagement, that are more diverse than those reflected in the existing literature. And the fourth is because it shows the limiting of the potential of and for rights litigation in Thailand in that period to have not been inevitable or necessarily a product of court failure, but likely a product of the choices made by constitution drafters and the pressures and incentives created by how the rights were used. Beyond the Thai context, the thesis is significant primarily for five reasons. The first is for the response it provides to distortions in the study of law in contexts like that in Thailand. The second is for the ways it draws on analysis of constitution drafting records to explore influences of the advantaged on the recognition of rights. The third is for the attention it brings to factors that contribute to, and to the effects of, court non-interventions. The fourth is for the exposure it brings to types and effects of uses of rights by the advantaged that are not emphasised in the existing literature on uses of rights by that group. And, the fifth, especially relevant for the study of less active courts and dejudicialisation, is for the attention it brings to reasons why and ways that courts might choose to limit their own roles.

description: The field of nonlinear optics encompasses interactions of electromagnetic fields(light) with matter, these interactions change the nature of the incident light such that new fields with differing phase, frequency, amplitude, polarization, path, or other propagation characteristics are produced. Materials which possess nonlinear optical (NLO) properties are of technological importance in areas that utilize optical devices, with potential applications such as microfabrication, bioimaging, photodynamic therapy, and frequency up-conversion lasing. In the first part of my PhD work, synthesis of a series of rigidified ladder-type oligo(p-phenylene)s end-functionalized by bis(dppe)-ligated ruthenium alkynyl units. Their optical, electrochemical and spectra electrochemical properties are discussed. Comparison of these results with non-rigidified ruthenium complexes allows for the determination of the effects of rigidification for promising optical properties. In the second part of this work, a series of rigidified ladder-type oligo(p-phenylene)s end functionalized by nitro acceptor and bis(dppe)-ligated ruthenium unit have been synthesized and characterized. The structure-property relationship of these complexes has been studied.
title: Emerging critical thoughts and solutions on colonial injustices in Africa and their practical implications

description: To dispose of the legacy of colonialism in Africa, such as colonial crimes, requires a multi-complex holistic approach. This chapter recognises the egregious nature of colonial crimes that were committed in Africa with impunity, and it outlines the strategies that may be adopted in addressing these unresolved colonial injustices. The outlined strategies are postulated premised on the assumption that Africa should strive to seek solutions for challenges afflicting Africa. The chapter provides for the theoretical and practical solutions to the question of colonial crime with their corresponding implications. In this context, the chapter expounds that to effectively address colonial injustices in Africa, considerations may include but are not limited to historical acknowledgement of colonial injustices, prosecution of colonial crimes that have element of continuity, incorporation of African legal indigenous justice systems, payment of reparations and victim support, and decolonisation of legal education, scholarships and cooperative advocacy.

description: Bio peptone is a combination of enzymatic digest of animal tissues and casein; and generally used for the growth of several varieties of microbes. The aim of present study was to investigate the impact of biofield energy treatment on the physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of bio peptone. The present study was carried out in two groups i.e. control and treated. The control group was kept without treatment, while the treated group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. Subsequently, both the samples were assessed using numerous analytical techniques. The X-ray diffractograms (XRD) showed the halo patterns of XRD peaks in both the samples. The particle size analysis exhibited about 4.70% and 17.58% increase in the d50 (average particle size) and d99 (particle size below which 99% particles are present), respectively of treated bio peptone as compared to the control. The surface area analysis revealed the 253.95% increase in the specific surface area of treated sample as compared to the control. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed the 29.59% increase in the melting temperature of treated bio peptone sample as compared to the control. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed the increase in onset of degradation temperature by 3.31% in the treated sample with respect to the control. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) study revealed the changes in the wavenumber of functional groups such as O-H stretching from 3066 cm-1 to 3060 cm-1; C-H stretching from 2980, 2893, and 2817 cm-1 to 2970, 2881, and 2835 cm-1, respectively; N-H bending from 1589 cm-1 to 1596 cm-1; C=C stretching from 1533 cm-1 to 1525 cm-1; and P=O stretching from 1070 cm-1 to 1078 cm-1 in treated sample as compared to the control. The UV-vis spectroscopy showed the similar patterns of absorbance maxima (λmax) i.e. at 259 nm and 257 nm in both the control and treated samples, respectively. Overall, the analytical results suggested that Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment has substantial effect on physicochemical and spectral properties of bio peptone. Owing to this, the treated bio peptone might be more effective as culture medium than the corresponding control.

description: Abstract:Blockchain technology is transforming business models across various industries, including the agricultural and food sectors, by improving supply chain efficiency, consumer trust, food safety, traceability, and transparency. However, there is a scarcity of publicly available data and industrial studies on the effect of blockchain-enabled business models on agri-food systems and the relationship management among the different stakeholders involved. This study aims to address this gap by studying the current state of blockchain-enabled business models in general and within the agri-food sector. Through a comprehensive systematic literature review, this study analyzes existing blockchain-enabled business models across various sectors, specifically emphasizing the agri-food industry. The study identifies crucial information lacking in public availability, which is essential for evaluating the impact of such models. To bridge the identified gap, a qualitative research method was designed using a questionnaire to collect the missing information. This study identifies the relevant stakeholders within the agri-food supply chain who are most suitable for completing the questionnaire, ensuring targeted and insightful responses. The findings provide actionable recommendations and insights to assess the impact of blockchain-related business models on agri-food systems.
title: Colonialism in the 21st century: how modern instruments can address continuing crimes

Subjects: subject: 345 Strafrecht

description: The heated discourse surrounding the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding the criticism raised by many African states and the threats to withdraw from the Rome Statute of the ICC by the African Union (AU) might seem to slowly move into the background of the international news sphere as the Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as the ongoing war in the Middle East dominate, but the role of international criminal law in Africa remains disputed. International criminal law is often critiqued for its lack of ability to address colonial crimes due to non-retroactive application, the corresponding obstacle of time to redress and the resulting general amnesia in former colonial nations towards their past. Notably, the European Union (EU) Transitional Justice policy did not mention colonial crimes at all. Yet, the contemporary practices of former colonial powers perpetuate asymmetric relationships that still express exploitative behaviour. This chapter focuses on the nexus between the United Kingdom (UK) and the Chagos Archipelago, often called the latest colony of the Crown and tries to address the perpetuated behaviour by modern instruments. In the 1960s the UK separated the islands from Mauritius before it became sovereign, removed the population via ships and allowed the United States of America (USA) to build a military base on Diego Garcia, the largest island of the Archipelago. To this day, the UK refuses to allow the local population to return to their homes, despite several international courts finding the separation and occupation illegal. Given the ongoing situation, this chapter seeks to identify the actions by the UK as deportation under the ICC Statute as a continuing crime. Continuing crimes can be a tool to overcome the non-retroactivity problem, as the case law of the court has documented in the past. The chapter shall introduce the situation of the Chagos Archipelago, then examine the crime of deportation as a continuing crime and test the UK’s actions against the Rome Statute of the ICC.
title: Living with God differently: An ethnography of middle-class lay-Muslims in Jakarta in the 2010s
Creators: name: Yen, Tzu-Chien
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: Many scholars have argued that modernisation and democratisation have created favourable conditions for the rise of conservative Islam in contemporary Indonesia. As young Muslims increasingly turn to Islamic piety, some find their way to conservative clerics and traditions. For a period of 18-months, I lived among ordinary lay-Muslims to study the different ways they related to Islam as a meaningful part of their lives, and how they made sense of ongoing religious changes in Jakarta's middle-class modernity. Among my interlocutors, there was a divide between those who identified Islam as important but often failed to meet what they understood as its rules, and those whose pious commitment seemingly led them to identify with conservative strands of Islam, engage with boundary making that exclude non-Muslims and Muslims they deemed impious, and advocating for Islamist political causes. In time, I realised that I initially misinterpreted signs of impiety among some interlocutors and in fact was beholding a different way of living with the divine. Similarly, I initially thought the Islamist beliefs and activism I observed among some interlocutors came from their adherence to conservative Islamic traditions, but it turned out to be rooted in their unique view of what their pious pursuit entails. Thus, the divide that I discerned between my interlocutors reflects more than just different levels of commitment to piety, conflicting understandings of doctrines, or identification with different clerics or traditions. Rather, it stems from fundamental divergences in how they chose to live with God - a decision they made, and continue to make, based on the circumstances of their lives. Such differences, along with the dynamism and creativity characteristic of their religious lives, were obscured and complicated by powerful ideas about Islam, Muslim subjectivity, and religion's place in modernity that my interlocutors and I inadvertently reproduced in our discussions. By attending to my interlocutors' "religiosity in motion" in the context of living their lives, I aim to shed light on how their religiosity works, where their religious ideas and practices came from and what they meant to them, and how they came to locate each other on opposing sides of a bitter religious and political divide. I argue that although my interlocutors seemed to see themselves as submissive subjects to a scripturalist and legalist conception of Islam, they related to it primarily as autonomous individuals who were largely free to interpret and practice it as they wished. My thesis draws on and contributes to studies of religion and politics in anthropology and Indonesian studies. By shifting the emphasis from organised Islam and politics to the lives of ordinary lay-Muslims, I situate my study as a part of the literature which seeks to complicate the picture of the Islamic Revival and rising Islamic conservatism as an all-encompassing and ever-present force.

description: Children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) have difficulty self-regulating cognition and behavior, revealing an underlying executive functioning problem. These deficits may disappear when children with ASD use private speech. The goal of this study was to examine the role of parent-child interaction in the private speech use and executive functioning of children with high-functioning ASD. Eighty-two children (18 females) aged 7 to 18 diagnosed with high functioning ASD (n = 33) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD; n = 21), and matched controls (n = 28) completed the Tower of Hanoi task, first with the assistance of their parent, and then, again, individually. Child private speech use and performance were assessed during the dyad and individual sessions. The overall quality of parental scaffolding was rated. Results suggested that parents of ASD children engaged in lower quality scaffolding than controls. Child individual executive performance for all groups improves when parents talk less and children talk more in the dyad. ASD children were less likely than controls to use private speech (or any speech during the dyad), but when they did, it was similar to the other groups. The findings indicate that child speech should be encouraged during joint activities because it improves their performance later on when completing the task alone. Interventions could focus on using private speech as a tool with other techniques to improve executive functioning skills of children with high-functioning autism.

description: The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) was created as part of the Northern Ireland Peace Agreement to overhaul the policing system in Northern Ireland and create a police service that was representative of and accountable to the people. The Independent Commission on Policing was formed and published a report outlining recommendations for policies that were consistent with human rights standards, many of which were accepted by the PSNI and put into use. This study examines these policies in order to judge the extent to which human rights were incorporated into the policies of the PSNI since its establishment in 2001. It identifies policies that are both historically relevant and human rights-oriented, and discusses their implementation, success, and compliance with international human rights standards. Using relevant literature and a combination of methodologies, an analysis process was created to examine each policy’s effectiveness. The history of policing during the conflict in Northern Ireland is a complex one, involving accusations of police misconduct, inquiries examining allegations of police collusion with paramilitary organizations, and a sentiment of prejudice against the Catholic minority in Northern Ireland. These were examined in detail in the course of this thesis, not only to shed light onto the need for police reform during the peace process, but also to expose a number of policies lacking proper protection for human rights so as to identify those policies in the PSNI and examine how human rights have been incorporated into them. It was found that many of the failed policies of the RUC were in fact reframed in a human rights context by the PSNI, and that the PSNI has gone to great lengths to ensure the compliance of every aspect of the police service with international policing and human rights standards. Although this study does not have the resources or the authority to make recommendations for changes in the policies that have not been fully implemented or are not yet 100% effective, these areas were addressed in the conclusion section of this thesis as aspects that require further attention by the PSNI, the organizations it is accountable to, and the government of Northern Ireland.

description: Chagas disease (CD), caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is mainly transmitted through vectors, blood transfusions or from mothers to their infants. It is estimated that around 25% of new CD infections occur through congenital transmission. In most CD cases, the infection remains asymptomatic for years; however, in an estimated 20-30% of untreated patients, it can cause severe cardiac or gastrointestinal complications, or even death. Detecting and treating CD in the asymptomatic phase is critical as it allows for more efficient treatment before tissue damage progresses to an irreversible stage. CD is endemic in parts of Latin America and due to immigration, it's been growing to be a global public health concern. Current tests use blood specimens for diagnostics; most lack sensitivity and a combination of two independent tests is required. Our study presents a novel non-invasive nanoparticle-enhanced mass spectrometry method to detect T. cruzi peptides in the urine of infants with Chagas disease. Nanoparticles harvest and concentrate low abundance protein markers, preventing their degradation while excluding high molecular weight, abundant proteins. 193 T. cruzi derived peptides were identified in 15 congenitally infected Chagas infants living in endemic areas. Of the identified peptides, mucin-associated surface protein, trans-sialidase and dispersed gene family protein 1 (DGF-1) were highly represented in the urinary peptidome of Chagas patients. Members of those family groups are involved in host invasion and pathogenesis. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that the nanoparticle-enhanced mass spectrometry test is able to detect urinary T. cruzi peptides in patients with Chagas disease. Few of those peptides were validated using two orthogonal technologies: Parallel reaction monitoring and Western Blot. Introducing a low cost and non-invasive test can be valuable for universal screening of Chagas disease for immigrants and for increasing endemic areas diagnostic testing.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated countermeasures had an immensely disruptive impact on people’s lives. Due to the lack of systematic pre-pandemic data, however, it is still unclear how individuals’ psychological health has been affected across this incisive event. In this study, we analyze longitudinal data from two healthy samples ( N  = 307) to provide quasi-longitudinal insight into the full trajectory of psychological burden before (baseline), during the first peak, and at a relative downturn of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our data indicated a medium rise in psychological strain from baseline to the first peak of the pandemic ( d  = 0.40). Surprisingly, this was overcompensated by a large decrease of perceived burden until downturn ( d  =  − 0.93), resulting in a positive overall effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health ( d  = 0.44). Accounting for this paradoxical positive effect, our results reveal that the post-pandemic increase in mental health is driven by individuals that were already facing psychological challenges before the pandemic. These findings suggest that coping with acute challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic can stabilize previously impaired mental health through reframing processes.

Creators: name: Homayun, Shamim

description: This thesis is about cultural senses of place and place-making in Afghanistan. For over forty years, since the communist revolution of 1978, Afghanistan has experienced continuous war. This has destroyed towns and villages and devastated the natural environment. It has left every family with lost or missing relatives. A group of anthropologists, seeking to understand the complex ways that war has impacted Afghan society, have researched the narratives and practices that emerged amid this chaos and precarity. My own research, based on fieldwork in Balkh and Bamiyan, contributes to this literature by investigating the cultural meanings of place and landscape in the aftermath of violence. During fieldwork, I drew on semi-structured interviews and a method of ethnographic walking, in which my informants walked with me through places of local significance: former dwellings, markets, shrines, caves, and gardens. As I walked with my informants through these landscapes, I observed the way they encountered places afflicted by war, and I documented the stories and memories that these places evoked. Ruination, in both a social and spatial sense, became a central theme of this project. Another important concept is socio-spatial order (nazm): an often-unspoken principle in which the social, moral, and cosmological order are interwoven through the medium of place. When war destroys and reshapes the landscape, it disrupts this delicate sense of spatial harmony, resulting in a perceived inversion of the socio-spatial order. This can lead to feelings of bewilderment and estrangement from once-familiar places. For my informants, practices such as spontaneous sociality, nostalgic reflection, pleasure outings, and visiting shrines became ways of refashioning place-worlds.

Uno studio condotto sui dati di Gaia e di Lamost ha dimostrato che il disco spesso della Via Lattea iniziò a formarsi 13 miliardi di anni fa, circa 2 miliardi di anni prima del previsto e solo 800 milioni di anni dopo il Big Bang. L’analisi è stata effettuata su un campione di 250mila stelle subgiganti, ossia stelle che stanno attraversando una breve fase dell'evoluzione stellare che, come tale, rappresenta un orologio stellare di grande precisione per datare le stelle nella Galassia

In attesa dei risultati delle analisi in laboratorio dei campioni portati sulla Terra da Hayabusa 2, i dati raccolti in situ dalla sonda giapponese suggeriscono che l’asteroide a forma di diamante fosse un tempo una cometa attiva. A trasformarlo in asteroide sarebbe stata la perdita del ghiaccio per sublimazione, avvenuta a seguito dell’ingresso nel Sistema solare interno

description: We present detailed annual land cover maps for the Baltic Sea region, spanning more than two decades (2000–2022). The maps provide information on eighteen land cover (LC) classes, including eight general LC types, eight major crop types and grassland, and two peat bog-related classes. Our maps represent the first homogenized annual dataset for the region and address gaps in current land use and land cover products, such as a lack of detail on crop sequences and peat bog exploitation. To create the maps, we used annual multi-temporal remote sensing data combined with a data encoding structure and deep learning classification. We obtained the training data from publicly available open datasets. The maps were validated using independent field survey data from the Land Use/Cover Area Frame Survey (LUCAS) and expert annotations from high-resolution imagery. The quantitative and qualitative results of the maps provide a reliable data source for monitoring agricultural transformations, peat bog exploitation, and restoration activities in the Baltic Sea region and its surrounding countries.

TERAPIA COM BONECAS

description: A demência inclui diversas doenças, que são progressivas, afetando memória, habilidades cognitivas e comportamentos. O Alzheimer é o tipo mais característico dos casos de demência, representando de 60 e 70% dos casos. Apesar do tratamento tradicional ainda ser o mais utilizado, a terapia de bonecas é uma estratégia emergente de tratamento não farmacológico em pacientes com demência em estágio leve e moderada. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho é uma breve revisão acerca do uso de bonecas no tratamento de pacientes com Alzheimer. Na maioria dos casos com o tratamento com as bonecas, os sintomas cognitivos, comportamentais e emocionais foram aliviados e o bem-estar geral foi melhorado. Os pacientes mostraram melhor capacidade para relacionar com seu ambiente externo, principalmente com os cuidadores e familiares. Entretanto, apesar dos resultados positivos da terapia com bonecas, o estudo ainda mostra limitações, principalmente por ser experimental e exploratório, fazendo-se necessários apoiar a eficácia clínica da terapia.

description: The study of Timor-Leste's colonial heritage requires analysis over four centuries of history. The country has been historically underestimated despite its limited resources, resilience and agency. Traditional academic views influenced by a military-oriented framework fail to explain how Timor-Leste survived and maintained its culture under imperialism and colonialism. Timor-Leste has proven to be a pivot in Asia, an actor to be watched, whose circumstances have had consequences elsewhere. This study adopts a small states perspective and a multilingual methodology to understand the strategic value of Portuguese Timor and explore its unique challenges of state formation from the early modern era up to the Second World War.

description: If conflict is a basic fact of human existence, then the key to peace must be the management of conflict, not its abolition. An important concept for me is the conflict management continuum; one end represents destruction of the other. The continuum shades from threat through arbitration, mediation, negotiation to integrative processes that bond us to each other. In a profound sense, where on that continuum our own conflict management behavior lies is a matter of day-by-day choice. Peace, then, is a highly charged dynamic process involving constant negotiation at every level of human interaction from local to global. Peace is dialectical, in that each resolution of a conflict, or synthesis, creates the basis for dealing with the next conflict. Applying good conflict resolution skills creates the conditions for increasingly productive conflict outcomes in the future. On the whole, we underestimate our own peacemaking skills. In fact, we negotiate our way through daily life. The differences we confront range from the trivial to the profound.

description: Host defense peptide (HDP)-mimicking polymers are promising therapeutic alternatives to antibiotics and have large-scale untapped potential. Artificial intelligence (AI) exhibits promising performance on large-scale chemical-content design, however, existing AI methods face difficulties on scarcity data in each family of HDP-mimicking polymers (<102), much smaller than public polymer datasets (>105), and multi-constraints on properties and structures when exploring high-dimensional polymer space. Herein, we develop a universal AI-guided few-shot inverse design framework by designing multi-modal representations to enrich polymer information for predictions and creating a graph grammar distillation for chemical space restriction to improve the efficiency of multi-constrained polymer generation with reinforcement learning. Exampled with HDP-mimicking β-amino acid polymers, we successfully simulate predictions of over 105 polymers and identify 83 optimal polymers. Furthermore, we synthesize an optimal polymer DM0.8iPen0.2 and find that this polymer exhibits broad-spectrum and potent antibacterial activity against multiple clinically isolated antibiotic-resistant pathogens, validating the effectiveness of AI-guided design strategy.
Scontro fra asteroidi oscura una stella del Sagittario
