    Ong on Equity is a substantial and sophisticated work from Professor Denis Ong, author of the acclaimed commentary: Trusts Law in Australia, now in its third edition. Ong on Equity analyses in detail relevant cases from all the Australian and from international jurisdictions and thoroughly reviews all aspects of judicial decision making.Importantly, Professor Ong considers unanswered questions as they arise in judicial reasoning in an incisive and learned style and offers fresh insights and thoughtful scholarly analysis in respect of each of the topics comprehensively covered in this volume

    Verifying information flow and metaprogramming in dynamically typed languages

    No full text
    The ubiquity of JavaScript in Web applications means that its analysis has become an important security problem. This thesis develops techniques for analysing information flow in JavaScript programs and verifying the absence of undesirable flows (for example, of sensitive data to untrusted third parties). JavaScript presents a unique combination of challenges not usually addressed by information flow analyses: its semantics are quaint and poorly specified, making formal reasoning largely infeasible; it is dynamically typed, which precludes the use of the most advanced existing analyses; and its eval construct, which executes a string as program code, allows arbitrary behaviour to result from data manipulated within the program. The thesis focuses on the last of these problems. It considers an idealised subset of JavaScript and augments it with staged metaprogramming, a formalism that captures the construction, execution and manipulation of code templates. The resulting language is called SLamJS. An information flow analysis for SLamJS is developed and its correctness is proved. This builds on the existing analysis 0CFA, but adds support for metaprogramming (paying particular attention to the difficult behaviour of variable capture) and information flow. In order to demonstrate the applicability of this analysis to JavaScript, where eval-using programs operate on code strings formed through concatenation, rather than splicing of templates, an algorithm to transform an eval-using program into one that uses staged metaprogramming is also developed. The transformation repurposes an existing lexer/parser (for example, one produced by the popular tools lex and yacc) to parse fragments of program code out-of-order. The transformed program is then a suitable target for the analysis. This multi-step approach is vital to allow subdivision of the complex overall problem into smaller, more manageable parts. </p

    Contradicciones en la relación entre Ecuador y las ONG en el ámbito de la cooperación internacional para el desarrollo (2013-2018)

    No full text
    En la presente investigación se analiza las contradicciones que se producen en el ámbito de la cooperación internacional entre el Ecuador y las ONG internacionales en el período 2013- 2018. El problema que se ha identificado surge con la emisión de los Decretos Ejecutivos 16 y 739, a través del cual el ex presidente Rafael Correa dispuso expedir el Reglamento para el Funcionamiento del Sistema Unificado de Información de las Organizaciones Sociales y Ciudadanas (SUIOS). Sin embargo, desde la perspectiva de las ONG, estos Decretos contienen restricciones a la libertad de asociación, pues transgreden artículos de la Constitución y normas del Derecho Internacional

    Motifs in Woodblock Prints and the Ritual of Ong Tao : -With Emphasis on Ong Tao Woodblock Prints in Sinh Village-

    No full text
    This paper will focus on motifs in Ong Tao woodblock prints and identify their characteristics based on interviews with their producers and comparisons of these artworks. In each household of the Kinh ethnic group in Vietnam, the yearend ritual to send the Kitchen God called Ong Tao to heaven takes place on December 23. In the Hue region, this ritual means placing an Ong Tao statue that has been enshrined in an alter for the past year in a shrine or under a sacred tree to aid the god’s rise to heaven. It also involves burning Ong Tao woodblock prints produced in Sinh, one of the small villages in Thua Thien Hue province. All traditional woodblock prints from the village are produced for ritual ceremonies, and the Ong Tao prints are no exception. These pieces of art are exclusively used in the Hue region, and are not distributed anywhere else. There are two other types of Vietnamese folk woodblock prints depicting Ong Tao: Dong Ho woodcut paintings and French artist Henri Oger’s works from the early 1900s that capture daily life and the art of living in northern Vietnam. These prints are different from those from Sinh village in their printing techniques and motifs. The author conducted interviews with artists currently creating Ong Tao woodblock prints in the village, with the aims of identifying the characteristics of the artworks based on their motifs and exploring why the motifs in these woodblock prints are different from those depicted in Dong Ho woodcut paintings and works by Henri Oger. An analysis of the motifs should confirm that Ong Tao woodblock prints are produced for the ritual. Furthermore, the study will propose that the unique features of these prints from Sinh village can be attributed to the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty being located in the Hue region.Departmental Bulletin Paper2014年度奨励研究 成果論文論文departmental bulletin pape

    Price Discovery in Real Estate Auctions: The Story of Unsuccessful Attempts

    No full text
    Little is known of the effects of the auction mechanism in relation to post-auction market sales. This empirical study of unsuccessful auctions shows that approximately half of these properties were eventually sold via private negotiations, at higher prices relative to last bids. The probability of a subsequent post-auction transaction is significantly higher for apartments and terrace houses and when auction turnout is high; and lower in the absence of any bid and in some years. In addition, downward revisions to the opening bid improve the probability of subsequent sale. Prices of subsequent re-auctioned and privately negotiated sales decline with time to sale, consistent with the search process explanation.
