Using Spatial Patterns Of Fluvial Incision To Constrain Continental-Scale Uplift In The Andes, L. A. Evenstar, A. E. Mather, A. J. Hartley

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Geomorphic archives, particularly longitudinal river profiles, are increasingly used as a proxy to reconstruct uplift rates in mountainous regions. Within the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile, slow, long-term erosion creates exceptional preservation of fluvial and alluvial surfaces. This enables river incision patterns to be used on a continental-scale (>250 km) along the western margin of the Andes (18°00'S to 20°15′S) and over a time frame from Miocene to Present day. The data show marked compartmentalisation of fluvial system behaviour with changes in incision rates from south to north creating 3 distinctly different regions. Within these different sectors, incision rates are …

A Global Approach To Mapping The Environmental Risk Of Harbours On Aquatic Systems, Paloma F. Valdor, Aina G. Gómez, Peter Steinberg, Edwina Tanner, Antony M. Knights, Rochelle D. Seitz, Laura Airoldi, Louise B. Firth, Christos Arvanitidis, Massimo Ponti, Eva Chatzinikolaou, Paul R. Brooks, Tasman P. Crowe, Alison Smith, Gonzalo Méndez, Aida Ovejero, Abilio Soares-Gomes, John A. Burt, Catriona Macleod, José A. Juanes

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

The goal of this paper is to propose a screening method for assessing the environmental risk to aquatic systems in harbours worldwide. A semi-quantitative method is based on environmental pressures, environmental conditions and societal response. The method is flexible enough to be applied to 15 harbours globally distributed through a multinational test using standardised and homogenised open data that can be obtained for any port worldwide. The method emerges as a useful approach towards the foundation of a global environmental risk atlas of harbours that should guide the harbour sector to develop a more globally informed strategy of sustainable development.

Introducing Private-Property Rights To Cuba: How Cuba's New Constitution Paves The Way For Economic Growth, Renee Monzon

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

On February 24, 2019, Cuba adopted a new Constitution.1 The new Constitution formally recognizes private-property ownership. From the beginning of Socialism’s impact on Cuba, private-property ownership had been legally abolished until Fidel Castro stepped down from power in 2008.2 This new Constitution shows a departure from the socialist grasp on the economy. Cuba likely recognizes that private-property ownership is fundamental to economic growth in capitalist countries and now seeks to benefit from the growth that accompanies a system of private-property rights. Cuba is not the first socialist country to embark on a process of property privatization. This paper will look …

"Balancing" Free Expression And Religious Feelings In E.S. V. Austria: Blasphemy By Any Other Name?, John G. Wrench

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

The European Court of Human Rights’ 2018 decision in E.S. v. Austria upheld an Austrian court’s conviction based on “disparaging religious doctrine.” The Court took this opportunity to reaffirm problematic, decades-old precedent, while creating new contradictions in its analysis of free expression claims. Despite the EU’s modern opposition to the criminalization of blasphemy, E.S. v. Austria in effect sends a contradictory message. This Comment explores the roots of the Court’s struggle to find an appropriate balance between the values of religious tolerance and freedom of expression, analyzes the Court’s recent decision, and suggests future paths to recalibrate the Court’s approach …

Dementia And Its Relationship With Suicidality: A Critical Interpretive Synthesis, G Hodge

School of Nursing and Midwifery

This article used a critical interpretive synthesis model which interpreted data associated with the subject of suicidality in dementia. A sample frame was used to determine the quality and relevance of extracted data, and finally to construct a critical interpretive synthesis. Data were extracted from eight key papers. Results The review and synthesis concluded with eight synthetic constructs, and two concluding synthesised arguments. Argument one was the substantial increased risk of suicidality in people diagnosed with dementia and clinical depression. The second argument was that end-of-life discussions are common place in people with a dementia diagnosis and their families. Conclusion …

Government Policy Around Inclusive Education In The Uk And The Implications For Children, Families And Teachers, E Done

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

The relevance and value of a post-structuralist theoretical orientation when considering inclusion-related policy will be briefly explained, followed by the identification of recurrent themes in a post-structuralist analysis of UK policy developments. These themes include: a confused policy landscape that EY teachers must navigate, rights as a necessary but not sufficient condition of inclusion, and inclusion as an ethical (not economic) project that rejects deficit models of disability. Foucault (1982, p.778) insists on checking “the type of reality with which we are dealing” and, relatedly, the historical conditions of prevailing discursive fabrications to provide “historical awareness of our present circumstance”. …
