Strange Bedfellows: The Political Thought of John C. Calhoun and Lani Guinier
No full textIt is ironic that two very different personalities with very different purposes can espouse the similar ideas about democracy. The focus of this research is to explore the political ideas of both Lani Guinier and John C. Calhoun with reference to democracy and the majority rule principle. Particular research questions are: 1) What is the problem with majority rule? 2) What are the solutions to the majority rule problem as prescribed by Calhoun and Guinier? 3) What are the consequences of these solutions? 4) Are either proposals or suggestions in the best interest of democracy
Conclusion: Ubiquitous Need for Epistemic Rights and the Way Forward
No full textThis chapter is based on a conversation between Lani Watson, author of The Right to Know: Epistemic Rights and Why We Need Them (2021), and the editors of this book. They discussed why epistemic rights are fundamental to our digital age, which institutions are central to their realisation, and what issues need to be made more prominent in considering epistemic rights in academia and beyond.Peer reviewe

Place attachment of Ngāi Te Ahi to Hairini Marae
No full textTwelve members of Ngāi Te Ahi, a hapū from Tauranga, were interviewed to explore how they talk about their place attachment to Hairini Marae. This was organized around five key dimensions of place attachment taken from the literature—continuity, distinctiveness, symbolism, attachment and familiarity. We found that in discussing all dimensions, place attachment was equally about social and cultural relationships, history, and socialization. Place attachment for groups such as Māori is complex because it encompasses all social relationships past and present. The implication for those working with Māori is to take seriously the wider connotations of place when talking to Māori about marae, traditional homelands, and their land
Lani Maestro : Paramita
No full textThis catalogue was made to accompany Paramita, an installation by Maestro based on a series of war drawings produced by her brother Mark in 1975. On the artist’s suggestion, M. Ogura relates his experience of World War Two in Japan; he then evokes the perception of light and a series of drawings on a white wall, and of the notion of moving image, derived from film memories. Brief technical description of the installation. Short artist’s statement. Texts in French and English. Biographical notes on artist and author
Legal Protection Application of Victims Through a Combined Lawsuit for Compensation in Case of Criminal Acts of Fraud and Money Laundering (Case Study: PT First Travel Cassation Decision Number 3096 K/Pid.Sus/2018)
No full textVictims in the criminal justice system are forgotten and disadvantaged subjects. In addition to the victim having suffered losses as a result of the crime that occurred to him, both materially, physically and psychologically, the victim must also suffer because unknowingly they are often treated only as a means for the realization of legal certainty. As happened in the case of fraud and money laundering by PT First Travel. In the cassation decision in the PT First Travel case, the judge upheld the decision at the first level and at the appellate level. This decision resulted in victims of prospective first travel pilgrims not receiving compensation because the first travel assets were confiscated and returned to the state, even though the state was not harmed at all in this case. Therefore the author is interested in conducting research on cases of fraud and money laundering by PT First Travel about how victims of first travel can get their rights back through a combination of claims for compensation because the Criminal Procedure Code has provided a way for victims to be able to get their rights in Article 98 -101 KUHAP. The author is interested in discussing 1) How important is the combined lawsuit for compensation in cases of fraud and money laundering at PT First Travel in the context of victim protection? 2) How is the cassation decision Number 3096 K/Pid.Sus/2018 reviewed based on the theory of justice and the theory of expediency?. This legal research is normative research using library materials or secondary data. Based on the results of the research that the authors have done, the results show that: 1) The importance of combined lawsuit for compensation in cases of fraud and money laundering at PT Frst Travel is as a way to provide protection for victims so they can get their rights back. Even though compensation is in the realm of civil law, the Criminal Procedure Code has provided a way through a positive relationship in Article 98 of the Criminal Procedure Code which allows cases for claims for compensation to be combined with criminal cases at the same time. The reason for not carrying out the merger in the first travel case was due to the absence of a request from the victim, this could have happened due to the victim's ignorance of the existence of Article 98 of the Criminal Procedure Code. the theory of justice and expediency, this can be seen from the side of the victim who has been harmed but does not get his rights in the form of compensation. Of course the cassation decision did not provide justice and benefits for the victim

Gas atomization processing of tin and silicon modified LaNi{sub 5} for nickel-metal hydride battery applications
No full textNumerous researchers have studied the relevant material properties of so-called AB{sub 5} alloys for battery applications. These studies involved LaNi{sub 5} substituted alloys which were prepared using conventional cast and crush alloying techniques. While valuable to the understanding of metal hydride effects, the previous work nearly ignored the potential for alternative direct powder production methods, like high pressure gas atomization (HPGA). Thus, there is a need to understand the relationship between gas atomization processes, powder particle solidification phases, and hydrogen absorption properties of ultra fine (< 25 {micro}m) atomized powders with high surface area for enhanced battery performance. Concurrently, development of a gas atomization nozzle that is more efficient than all current designs is needed to increase the yield of ultrafine AB{sub 5} alloy powder for further processing advantage. Gas atomization processing of the AB{sub 5} alloys was demonstrated to be effective in producing ultrafine spherical powders that were resilient to hydrogen cycling for the benefit of improving corrosion resistance in battery application. These ultrafine powders benefited from the rapid solidification process by having refined solute segregation in the microstructure of the gas atomized powders which enabled a rapid anneal treatment of the powders. The author has demonstrated the ability to produce high yields of ultrafine powder efficiently and cost effectively, using the new HPGA-III technology. Thus, the potential benefits of processing AB{sub 5} alloys using the new HPGA technology could reduce manufacturing cost of nickel-metal hydride powder. In the near future, the manufacture of AB{sub 5} alloy powders could become a continuous and rapid production process. The economic benefit of an improved AB{sub 5} production process may thereby encourage the use of nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries in electrical vehicle applications in the foreseeable future
L'hybridité dans l'oeuvre de l'écrivain brésilien Moacyr Scliar (1937-2011) : judéité, imaginaire et représentations
No full textThe work of author Moacyr Scliar is a living testimony to the transposition of his Jewish cultural legacy to his literary creation, which gave life to a “place in between” favourable to the inception of hybrid representations coming from his twofold identity, Jewish and Brazilian. The present work intends to study the mechanisms of his hybrid world including both the form – generic hybridism – and the content – cultural hybridism – of seventeen fictional narratives published between 1968 and 2008. The first part of this study will analyse the formation of a Judeo-Brazilian space which is in constant motion but also the specificity of its animal metamorphic representations. The second chapter is devoted to the hybrid type of historiographic metafictions and to the scrutiny of the strategies dealing with cultural translation in the case of mythical Jewish and historical characters and their relations. The third part proposes to reflect on the evolution of biblical intertextual practices, ranging from implicitation to postmodern parody.L’œuvre de l’écrivain Moacyr Scliar témoigne de la transposition de son héritage culturel juif à sa création littéraire, créant un « entre-lieu » propice à la formation de représentations hybrides issues de sa double inscription identitaire : juive et brésilienne. Le présent travail se propose d’étudier les mécanismes de son univers hybride, comprenant autant la forme (hybridité générique) que le fond (hybridité culturelle) de dix-sept récits de fiction publiés entre 1968 et 2008. La première partie de cette étude s’attache à analyser la formation d’un espace judaïco-brésilien en mouvement constant et aussi la spécificité de ses représentations métamorphiques animales. La seconde partie, réservée au genre hybride des métafictions historiographiques, est consacrée à l’analyse des stratégies de traduction culturelle concernant le rapport entre personnages juifs et personnages historiques mythiques. Dans le troisième volet, nous proposons une réflexion sur l’évolution des pratiques intertextuelles bibliques, allant de l’ « impli-citation » à la parodie postmoderne
