Reforming Nova Scotia's Secure Care Model: Gender Bias And Calls To Action, Abby Metcalf

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

The following paper is a critical analysis of Nova Scotia’s secure care model which is legislated under ss. 55-56 of the Children and Family Services Act. Under these provisions, children who are in the care of the Minister of Community Services or Mi’kmaw Family & Children’s Services of Nova Scotia may be confined against their will at the Wood Street Centre in Truro, Nova Scotia. This paper makes two critical arguments. The first is that the legislation concerning secure care in this province is notably overbroad, leaving children who are in crisis vulnerable to being subjected to what is …

A Pauline Dress Code Or A Roman Analogy: Reinterpreting Paul’S Discourse In 1 Corinthians 11:1–16, Nicole Francis

Studia Antiqua

Historically, the debate surrounding 1 Corinthians 11 has focused on whether or not Paul is referring to women veiling their heads in church or simply wearing their hair up. This debate roots itself in a nearly universally accepted assumption that Paul is requesting a sort of dress-code standard for praying and prophesying in church. While this has been the dominant reading in scholarship for centuries, there are numerous compelling weaknesses in this interpretation. This paper will explore those weaknesses and provide an alternative reading: When confronted with group conflict, Paul attempts to reason his way through the hierarchical structure he …

The Different Esthers Of The Septuagint And Masoretic Text: How The Inclusion Of God Changes The Character Of Esther, Heidyn Von Bose

Studia Antiqua

The Book of Esther is a unique work that contains significant differences between the Hebrew and Greek versions of the text. One significant difference is the character of Esther herself. In the throne room scene of chapter five (or addition D in the LXX), the LXX Esther is more passive than the Esther of the Hebrew Bible because of the inclusion of God and more specifically the differences in the power structure between God, Esther, and the king. By analyzing the different characters’ movements and the language describing them in chapter 5 or Addition D, the differences of Esther’s character …

The Carnivalesque And The Carmel Competition In 1 Kings 18, Paul Bryner

Studia Antiqua

While humor is a difficult feature to identify in the Bible, the concept of the “carnivalesque”—a form of literary humor with sociological implications, coined by Mikhail Bakhtin — is much easier to apply. I argue for the presence of carnivalesque themes in the Elijah narrative of 1 Kings 18 which give a subtle, implicit social commentary on Israelite society.

“Our Precious Heritage”: Catholic Subject Headings And The Assertion Of Worldview Through Cataloging, Deirdre Sullivan

School of Information Studies - Post-doc and Student Scholarship

Catholic Subject Headings, a list of subject headings focused on describing and representing Catholic belief, ritual, and culture, was first published in 1942 by the Catholic Library Association for use in Catholic libraries. The creation of a cataloging tool solely to represent and serve a distinct religious population allows for an imposition of religious worldview by those utilizing Catholic Subject Headings onto the materials they interacted with. The need for a specifically Catholic cataloging system is also revealing of the complex tensions between Catholics and Protestants and within the American Catholic community in 20^th century America.

Mass Media Messages And Patients’ Rights: A Case Of Mt. Elgon Sub-County, Kenya, Felister Nyaera Nkangi, Egara Kabaji, Lydia Anyonje, Aje-Ori Agbese

Communication Faculty Publications

This article focuses on challenges facing dissemination of mass media messages on patients’ rights among rural dwellers of Mt. Elgon in Bungoma County -Kenya. The initial research that culminated into this write-up was informed by the low literacy levels on patients’ rights reflected by various studies conducted among rural dwellers. A qualitative research approach was adopted and data was collected from 6 journalists/media practitioners from leading national media houses, 2 policy experts and 6 focus group discussions comprising 12 participants of both genders drawn from adult residents of Mt. Elgon sub-county. Two interview guides, one for media practitioners and another …

Tossing Sand In The Regulatory Gears: Hurdles To Policy Progress In The Supreme Court, Nina A. Mendelson

Articles

In the last few years, the Supreme Court has been a source of seismic change. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Court overruled Roe v. Wade, which had protected the right to abortion for nearly fifty years. In Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the Court abandoned so-called Chevron deference to particular categories of administrative agency interpretations, a doctrine viewed as bedrock for over forty years. Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, the 1935 ruling validating independent multi-member commissions such as the Federal Trade Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, and Federal Communications Commission, may soon join the others on the …

Exploitation, Gentrification, And Commercialization: The Evolution Of Third Spaces For Marginalized People In Post-Democratization Cape Town, Nicole Overbay

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

This paper explores the impact of high-cost leisure spaces that are emerging in low-income marginalized communities within the Cape Town metropolitan area of South Africa after democratization. The resilience and cultural significance of unregulated third spaces, like shebeens, despite governmental suppression demonstrates the importance of these venues to marginalized South Africans. Through the examination of the gentrification of Bo Kaap and Khayelitsha, this paper argues that the pervasive trend of commercialization (which is supposedly for economic empowerment of said areas), can exclude non-White residents and corrode the generations-long cultural significance created in third spaces. This barrier disproportionately harms Black and …

Troubleshooting And Diagnostics Of Electronic Computing Devices Using The Object Model Creation Method, Gulmira Shuxratovna Abidova, Asad Xolboy O’Gli Shosalmanov

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

This paper presents a major challenge in fault diagnosis for electronic computing equipment is developing an object model tailored to support diagnostic tasks. Effective fault localization requires establishing a link between the diagnostic process and the object model. This connection should enable direct observation of diagnostic points and organize all potential defect and fault sources to clearly show their impact on each diagnostic point and the relevant parameters. Achieving this necessitates comprehensive information about parameter values, expected variations, and the permissible relationships between network elements that generate these parameters. Therefore, building a robust model is essential to facilitate accurate fault …

Development Of Structures Of Intellectual Control Systems Of The Rectification Process, Shodievich Avazov Yusuf

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

Rectification processes, which are considered complex technological processes, and the development of structures of intelligent systems for controling the work of rectification devices and columns, which serve to organize them, were considered. The need to build intelligent control systems is based on the fact that the progress of the rectification process is affected by a large number of factors, including temperature, pressure, consumption, temperature difference, concentration of mixtures, properties of light and heavy volatile components. The structure of an intelligent control system based on the situational control method for rectification devices is proposed. The architecture of the proposed intelligent control …

Self-Calibration Of Smart Sensors Based On Fuzzy Logic, U.A. Ruziev, M.K. Shodiev

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

The paper discusses and analyzes the application of fuzzy logic methods for self-calibration of measuring devices. In particular, the principles of constructing measurement devices based on fuzzy logic, based on linguistic variables and rules, are considered, which makes it possible to take into account various conditions and requirements of production processes. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods, the results of experiments on measuring and classifying process parameters using fuzzy logic algorithms are presented. The study also covered fuzzy rule methods for evaluating and processing measurement data based on expert knowledge and linguistic variables. Fuzzy rule-based systems are shown …
