Improving collaborative practice to address offender mental health: criminal justice and mental health service professionals’ attitudes towards interagency training, current training needs and constraints,
No full textBackground Professionals from the mental health and criminal justice system must collaborative effectively to address offender mental health but interprofessional training is lacking. Pedagogical frameworks are required to support the development of training in this new area. Aim To inform this framework this paper explores the readiness of professionals towards interprofessional training and demographic differences in these. It explores expectations of interprofessional training, perceived obstacles to collaborative working, interprofessional training needs and challenges facing delivery. Method A concurrent mixed methods approach collected data from professionals attending a crossing boundaries interprofessional workshop. Data was collected through a combination of the RIPLS questionnaire (n=52), free text questions (n=52) and focus groups (n=6). Findings and Conclusions Mental health and criminal justice professionals’ attitudes towards interprofessional learning were positive (x=17.81; n=43). They did not see their own service as insular (x =4.02; n=44) and reported strong person centredness (x= 6.07; n=43). This suggests professionals are open to the introduction and implementation of future interprofessional training. There were no significant demographic differences in these attitudes. Professionals raised a range of generic curriculum and educator mechanisms in the development of future interprofessional training suggesting the transfer of pedagogical frameworks from established interprofessional programmes into this new arena is feasible. Context specific factors such offender national policy agendas and the challenges of user involvement using mentally ill offenders must be taken into account. Greater clarity on multi versus interprofessional training is still required with this group of professionals. Key words: mental health, offenders, criminal justice, interprofessional training
Eminent Domain: Judicial Interpretation Abridges a Constitutional Guarantee
No full textThe fifth amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees that private property shall not be taken for a public use, without just compensation. The author examines the history of eminent domain as it has been applied in the United States. From a concept which originally focused upon a just compensation, it has evolved into one under which any governmental taking will be upheld; provided that it serves a public use. The author concludes that by classifying eminent domain as sociological legislation, constitutional protections of property have been diluted by legislative bodies. Finally, the author suggests that an interest analysis approach, balancing governmental needs against private needs, would help to curb the almost unlimited use of eminent domain to promote legislative goals

No full textLes jardins exotiques: Early French Romanticism and Its Impact on Travel Inspired Nineteenth-Century French Gardens
No full textThe question of French literatures portrayal of the environment has been widely debated in the ecocriticism field, with scholars such as Douglas Boudreau and Marnie Sullivan arguing that ecocriticism is predominately focused on literature written in English. In order to further our understanding of French environmental writing, we need to understand how the literary side of French Romanticism has influenced scientific advances that took place in late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century France. This project addresses the issue of Chateaubriands gardens at Valle aux Loups and his later, non-fictional work Voyage en Amrique (1827). Although he was not the first French author to traverse the Western Hemisphere and write about his voyages or bring back flora to France, I argue that his reinterpretation of North American flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples to be worth exploring. Some of the questions I pose throughout this project are the following: Which plants from his travel gardens are present in his later work, Voyage en Amrique (1827)? What is the significance of each flora? What can the organization of the garden tell us? How does he tie the gardens to his ethnography of Amerindians? Specifically, in this project, I closely analyze the flora at Valle aux Loups and Chateaubriands ethnography of North America, Voyage en Amrique. I argue that Chateaubriands ever-changing perspective of the environment can be seen clearly during the time lapse between the creation of his gardens, which were based on his earlier works Atala (1801) and Ren (1802), and his more serious attempts of scientific writing in Voyage en Amrique. What does this tell us about the capricious European perspective of the garden and their interpretations of plants both indigenous and exotic? In this project, I combine my backgrounds in French literature and history in order to delve into the question of revolutionary Frances ever-evolving gardening history and how the obsession of botany and the exotic brought about the rise of travel-inspired gardens in the nineteenth century forward

Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Genetics Society of America.The clapper rail (Rallus crepitans), of the family Rallidae, is a secretive marsh bird species that is adapted for high salinity habitats. They are very similar in appearance to the closely related king rail (R. elegans), but while king rails are limited primarily to freshwater marshes, clapper rails are highly adapted to tolerate salt marshes. Both species can be found in brackish marshes where they freely hybridize, but the distribution of their respective habitats precludes the formation of a continuous hybrid zone and secondary contact can occur repeatedly. This system, thus, provides unique opportunities to investigate the underlying mechanisms driving their differential salinity tolerance as well as the maintenance of the species boundary between the 2 species. To facilitate these studies, we assembled a de novo reference genome assembly for a female clapper rail. Chicago and HiC libraries were prepared as input for the Dovetail HiRise pipeline to scaffold the genome. The pipeline, however, did not recover the Z chromosome so a custom script was used to assemble the Z chromosome. We generated a near chromosome level assembly with a total length of 994.8 Mb comprising 13,226 scaffolds. The assembly had a scaffold N50 was 82.7 Mb, L50 of four, and had a BUSCO completeness score of 92%. This assembly is among the most contiguous genomes among the species in the family Rallidae. It will serve as an important tool in future studies on avian salinity tolerance, interspecific hybridization, and speciation.Funding for this project was provided by the University of Delaware College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Seed Grant.

Hüterbaum und Tragestecken Rechtsarchäologische Zeugnisse des Weinbaus
No full textThe article presents the material relics related to the guarding of vineyards and the grape harvest, mainly from the angle of legal history and the ethnology of law, drawing as a source on objects preserved in museums and other collections as well as on images. The examples reach back as far as the 14th century and geographically are taken from Austria and the neighbouring Slovene, Moravian, German, Swiss and Italian (South Tyrol) territories. The author writes about how the gate of the vineyard was closed when the grapes began to ripen indicating that entry was forbidden to outsiders, as well as about the tall “guards’ posts” used for observation of the territory, the tasks of the vineyard guards trusted with protecting the area, their dress, the implements they used in their work (weapon, clapper, etc.) and their payment. In connection with the grape harvest the article also mentions the role and use of sticks with notched signs to record the performance of the harvesters and the size of the harvest

Justifying Christianity in the Islamic middle ages: the apologetic theology of ʿAbdīshōʿ bar Brīkhā (d. 1318)
No full textThe subject of this thesis is the theology of the late 13th- early 14th century churchman 'Abdīshō' bar Brīkhā. Better known by modern scholars for his poetry and canon law, he is far less recognised as a religious controversialist who composed works in Arabic as well as Syriac to answer Muslim criticisms. My overall argument contends that 'Abdīshō''s hitherto neglected theological works are critical to our understanding of how anti-Muslim apologetics had by his time become central to his Church's articulation of a distinct Christian identity in a largely non-Christian environment. 'Abdīshō' wrote his apologetic theology at a time when Christians experienced increasing hardship under the rule of the Mongol Ilkhans, who had officially converted to Islam in 1295. While the gradual hardening of attitudes towards Christians may well have informed 'Abdīshō''s defensive stance, this thesis also demonstrates that his theology is built on a genre of apologetics that emerged as early as the mid-8th century. Our author compiles and systematises earlier debates and authorities from this tradition while updating them for a current authorship. In doing so, he contributes to the formation of a theological canon that would remain authoritative for centuries to come. My analysis of 'Abdīshō''s oeuvre extends to three doctrinal themes: the Trinity, the Incarnation, and devotional practices (viz. the veneration of the Cross and the striking of the church clapper). I situate his discussion of these topics in a period when Syriac Christian scholarship was marked by a familiarity with Arabo-Islamic theological and philosophical models. While our author does not engage with these models as closely as his better-known Syriac Christian contemporary Bar Hebraeus (d. 1286), he nevertheless appeals to a literary and theological idiom common to both Muslims and Christians in order to convince his coreligionists of their faith’s reasonableness against centuries-long polemical attacks
