[{"text": "Sacha John Edward Lord (born 26 January 1972), also known as Sacha John Lord-Marchionne, is a British political figure, entrepreneur, author and co-creator of the Parklife festival and The Warehouse Project. He was the Night Time Economy Adviser for Greater Manchester, appointed by Mayor Andy Burnham, from 2018 to January 2025. Early life. Lord was born on 26 January 1972 in Altrincham, Cheshire (now Greater Manchester), and grew up in the town. His father was a textile merchant, and his mother an interior designer. Lord was educated at Manchester Grammar School, leaving at aged 18 having gained two Us and an E at A-Level. After leaving school, Lord worked at a clothes shop in Altrincham, and later started a market stall at Liverpool market, selling leather jackets. After quitting his market job, Lord became involved in the rave-influenced music scene, and spent most of his time listening to The Stone Roses, Prince, The Smiths and David Bowie. Business ventures. The Warehouse Project. Inspired by the success of events at Home and Sankeys nightclubs in Manchester, Lord launched the Warehouse Project, a series of rave events running annually from September to 1 January, in 2006 with co-founder Sam Kandel. It began"}, {"text": "operations in the disused Boddingtons Brewery in Strangeways, and then moved into a space under Manchester Piccadilly station, on Store Street, which previously served as an air raid shelter. The opening night of The Warehouse Project was described by Lord as \"a nightmare\" due to its location next to the prison, and he later revealed the Governor of HM Prison Manchester had called to say it was disturbing inmates. The Warehouse Project went on to feature some of the most in-demand names in international house and techno music, including New Order, The Chemical Brothers and Calvin Harris - whose appearance, Lord later went onto reveal, was a favour for an A&R at Sony. Lord revealed he put Harris (an unknown DJ at the time) on the 21:30 slot, despite doors only opening at 22:00. The Warehouse Project attracted 100,000 people in its first year and has continued to sell out annually. In 2019, Lord and Kandel moved The Warehouse Project to Depot at the former Manchester Mayfield railway station, a move which saw it become the biggest club night in the UK with a 10,000 person capacity. The move also put it on a par with the current Guinness World"}, {"text": "Record holder of the largest nightclub in the world, Privilege in Ibiza, which can also hold 10,000 revellers. Lord has been a supporter for drug safety campaigns and has called for drug testing laboratories and on site forensic testing at all UK clubs and festivals. Although not responsible for the incident, Lord's campaigning followed the death of Nick Bonnie, 30, in 2013 who was found collapsed at a Warehouse Project rave after taking almost 15 times the standard recreational dose of MDMA. The Warehouse Project events were put on hold in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but returned in 2021 following the easing of lockdown restrictions. Parklife Festival. Lord co-created Parklife Festival in 2010, to celebrate artists across indie, house and techno music. It has hosted some of the biggest names in music, including Snoop Dogg, Liam Gallagher and Skepta. The weekend festival, which moved from Platt Fields Park in Fallowfield to Heaton Park, Manchester in 2012, attracts 80,000 visitors each year. The Festival employs over 4,500 people over the weekend. Each year, it raises over \u00a3100k for the Parklife Community Foundation, that is distributed to help local causes.

In July 2024, it was announced that Sacha Lord had exited The Warehouse Project and Parklife. In a statement, Lord confirmed that he would be exiting the two businesses he co-founded, following a deal to transfer his shares to LN Gaiety \u2014 a joint venture between Live Nation and Gaiety Investments which acquired a majority share in the businesses in 2016. Hide Out Festival. Lord was one of the creators of Croatia's Hideout Festival, a five-day alternative music extravaganza held on the island of Pag, in 2011. It has sold out every single year since its conception. Wythenshawe F.C.. In April 2023, Lord was announced as the new chairman of newly promoted non-league football club Wythenshawe F.C. Primary Events Solutions. Primary Events Solutions, originally named Primary Security Limited, was a Private limited company established by Lord in 2009. The company provided event staffing services in North West England. Having suffered setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company filed for liquidation in 2023 due to \"corporate insolvency\".

Night Time Economy Adviser. Appointment as Adviser. In 2018, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham appointed Sasha Lord as the region's first \"Night Time Economy Adviser\". The position was unpaid, with any income generated being donated to charity. Although Lord did not formally apply for the role, he had lobbied Burnham on the importance of nightlife prior to Burnham's victory in the inaugural mayoral elections in May 2017. The role involved advising Burnham and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) on matters related to the night-time economy, representing the interests of workers, operators, and the industry as a whole. The night-time economy is a significant part of Greater Manchester's economy, employing 358,000 people, about 33% of the region's workforce. Advocacy for the night-time economy. Lord made several recommendations to improve safety, transport, and cultural diversity within the night-time economy. These included proposing extended opening hours to increase accessibility"}, {"text": "and advocating for the development of better night-time transport links to serve under-represented communities in the outskirts of the region. In August 2018, Lord also campaigned for a fair wage policy for night-time hospitality staff, calling for full transparency in tipping practices for bar and restaurant workers. Role during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic brought Lord to the forefront of discussions on the future of the nightlife sector. As a leading voice for UK nightlife, his expertise was sought by Paul Scully, the Secretary of State for Small Business, Consumers, and Labour Markets, to help businesses survive during the pandemic. In October 2020, Lord initiated legal proceedings against the UK Government in response to the 22:00 curfew imposed on hospitality venues. He argued that the policy disproportionately impacted sections of society in disadvantaged areas who relied on wet-led pubs for community socialization. The case was later moved to the High Court but did not progress further as the government had already removed the policy by March 2021. In March 2021, Lord filed a new legal case challenging the continued closure of indoor hospitality venues, arguing that they were safer than non-essential retail stores due to their Covid-safe measures. Lord's"}, {"text": "legal efforts were supported by industry groups, including UKHospitality and the British Beer and Pub Association. Post-pandemic efforts. In May 2023, Lord announced that he was working with lawyers from JMW Solicitors to assist hospitality businesses in recovering hidden commissions paid to brokers by energy companies, which he identified as a contributing factor to hospitality closures. Later in 2023, Lord called for the UK government to reinstate the hospitality VAT rate to 12.5%, in line with rates in other European countries. This request was part of a \"five-point plan to save hospitality,\" which was presented at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool. Support for night-time transport. In July 2024, Lord supported Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham's initiative to introduce a night-time bus service. He argued that night workers should not face higher transport costs due to their work hours. The new service was launched as part of a 24-hour transport pilot on September 1, 2024. Resignation. On January 29, 2025, Lord resigned from his position as Night Time Economy Adviser, citing the emotional toll caused by a review by Arts Council England into a grant awarded to a company, Primary Event Solutions, in which Lord was a minority shareholder. The"}, {"text": "grant had been awarded during the pandemic, but Arts Council England sought to recover the funds following an internal review.

Lord was patron of the Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity (charity reg number 1151518) until he resigned the role in 2021 Lord is also an avid campaigner on the role of mental health services for those working in the night-time economy. During the global Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Lord co-founded the UnitedWeStream Manchester campaign, a livestream gig website which raised over \u00a3600,000 for businesses in the night time economy and charities in Greater Manchester including the Mayor's Homelessness Charity and music therapy charity, Nordoff Robbins, through a relief fund on the website. A number of artists performed on the live stream website, including Roger Sanchez and Paul Oakenfold.

At the end of 1859 Fattori decided to participate in the competition announced by Bettino Ricasoli for the execution of four paintings depicting the main military episodes of the Italian Risorgimento: Curtatone, Palestro, San Martino and Magenta. The artist chose to depict the battle of Magenta, fought on 4 June 1859, during the second war of independence, between the Austrians and the Franco-Piedmontese and which ended with the victory of the latter. The clash finally opened a passage for the Franco-Piedmontese troops to conquer the Lombard territory, even if the blood tribute paid was large, among the 100 000 soldiers who took part in the fight there were more than 6000 victims.

The painting represents one of the best-known episodes of the Second Italian War of Independence, namely the Battle of Magenta.

Consequently, the species is among several being targeted by researchers and veterinary and public health authorities for population control as a method for controlling the disease. Physical description. \"G. fuscipes\" are often brown or grey-brown in color. Their bodies tend to have varied dark and light patches, effectively camouflaging them on surfaces such as bark, rock, or soil. At rest, \"G. fuscipes\" appear slim as they fold their wings on their backs so that one lies on top of the other. This is in contrast to houseflies and blowflies whose wings project outward at an angle while resting on their backs. Following a blood meal, the insect's abdomen will appear large, rounded and red.

The end of the female abdomen lacks any significant structures that would be the counterpart of the male hypopygium and hectors; however, females display a vulva, which can exhibit several small plates that aid in species identification. Life cycle. Egg stage. In a few hours, the sperm move from the spermatophore into the spermatheca, where they remain active for the remainder of the female's life. Eggs are fertilized immediately as they enter the uterus by sperm from the spermatheca that come into contact and penetrate the anterior portion of the egg. The fertilized egg remains in the uterus for about four days as the instar larva begins to develop. Once she has mated, a female can produce larvae for the remainder of her life. At about 25 \u00b0C, a female fly will produce mature larva every 9\u201310 days with the exception of the first, which may take"}, {"text": "up to 18\u201320 days. Lower temperatures result in a lower rate of breeding whereas higher temperatures increase the rate of breeding. Temperatures either too high or too low may cease breeding altogether. Larva. The \"G. fuscipes\" larva in passes through three instars as it grows up to when the fully grown larva is dropped by a female fly. The larva has a mouth at the anterior end and two spiracles at the posterior end. Rather unusually, the larva spends most of its time and does all its feeding within the mother's body. Apart from food stored in the egg, the food supply for the three larval instar stages comes from the mother's milk gland. The milky secretions of this gland are expelled out of the gland duct at the head end of the larva. The larva sucks up the milky secretion and passes it directly to the midgut where it is slowly digested and assimilated. For air supply, the larva depends on air entering the vulva of the female. The air must pass into the female's posterior spiracles or polypneustic lobes to reach the larva. Abortion. If a larva fails to reach its full size, it will be prematurely expelled"}, {"text": "from the uterus. The aborted larva dies. Abortions could be due to the mother fly not obtaining enough food or also when carelessly handled or exposed to insecticide. Eggs are subjected to abortion for the same reasons. Pupa. The pupa is a dark brown, shorter than the larva that produced it, and rounded with polypneustic lobes at the posterior end. The lobes are distinctively shaped and can help to distinguish the \"G. fuscipes\" pupa from that of other flies. The pupa also has a hard case on its outside called the puparium. The pupal stage lasts about four to five weeks according to temperature. Higher temperatures shorten the pupal period. In contrast, lower temperatures lengthen the pupal period to more than 50 days in certain climates. However, temperature extremes will cause death. Adult. When ready to emerge, the young adult fly expands its ptilinum to burst open puparium's end. Out of the fresh hole and surrounding soil, the adult emerges by using the ptilinum, struggling to the top of the soil and into open air. At this stage, the adult's body is very soft while its wings are small and crumpled. After a few urinations, the wings will expand towards"}, {"text": "their proper size. From the time between the emergence of the fly and its first meal, the adult is called a teneral fly. After the first blood meal has been taken, the fly is then termed a non-teneral fly. Reproduction. Mating. During mating, males settle on the back of the female. Claspers at the posterior end of the male abdomen unfold in order to grip the end of the female abdomen. This mating position may be maintained for an hour or two before the duo parts. Females typically mate a young age, either before or around the same time of their first blood meals. Females usually mate only once in their lives though it is possible mate more than once, whereas males tend to mate several times. Older males are more likely to mate successfully than very young males. During mating, the aedeagus is inserted into the vulva and reaches into the uterus as far as the spermatheca exit. A sizable ball of sperm is deposited there in the form of a spermatophore. At the conclusion of mating, the male releases his grip on the female before flying away.

The gap in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is due to the lack of published surveys in the historically infested areas in the period 1990\u20132020; and the same reason could also explain the smaller gaps in the neighbouring areas of Burundi, Rwanda and Zambia. \"Glossina fuscipes quanzensis\". \"Glossina fuscipes quanzensis\" occupies the southwestern part of the distribution of \"Glossina fuscipes\", including 3 countries in central Africa (i.e. Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Congo).

The genus Glossina is regarded as an isolated genus and it is usually classified into its own family Glossinidae. The genus is further divided into three subgenera, Morsitans, Fusca, and Palpalis, the latter of which being the subgenus to which \"G. fuscipes\" belongs. The species is further broken down into subspecies; Food Resources. \"G. fuscipes\" feed on vertebrate blood and have been traditionally described as strictly hematophagous. Glucose sugars are not a metabolic requirement for this species because it uses a proline-alanine shuttle system for the distribution of energy. Instead, triglycerides are used for storage in fly body fat and milk secretions. However, researchers have conducted laboratory experiments and a field study that show \"G. fuscipes\" are able to feed on sugar water in the lab and wild flies contain sugar residues. Although continuous feeding with high sugar concentrations appeared to be toxic, sugar given either occasionally or at low concentrations did"}, {"text": "not affect mortality and fecundity. Predators. \"G. fuscipes\" adults and pupae are a food source for a variety of predators including vertebrates and arthropods. However, no insectivorous species is known to solely feed on \"G. fuscipes\" or tsetse flies in general. Thus, a reduction in insectivorous birds during general tsetse fly control campaigns could be attributed to the simultaneous insecticide-related removal of other insect species than decreases in tsetse flies themselves. Trypanosomiasis. Some trypanosome species, transmitted by \"G. fuscipes\" and other tsetse fly species, cause the infectious disease trypanosomiasis. In humans, \"G. fuscipes\" trypanosomiasis is also known as sleeping sickness. In animals, the disease may be known as \"nagana\" or \"surra\" according to the animal species infected as well as the trypanosome species involved. \"Nagana\" typically refers to the disease specifically in cattle and horses; however, it is commonly used to describe any type of animal trypanosomiasis. Disease vectors and hosts. \"G. fuscipes\", alongside other tsetse flies, are prominent biological vectors of protozoan parasites belonging to the genus \"Trypanosoma\" known to cause the namesake diseases in various vertebrate species including humans, antelopes, bovine cattle, camels, horses, sheep, goats, and pigs. The parasites are transmitted to humans via bites from \"G."}, {"text": "fuscipes\", which have acquired their infection from other human beings or animals harboring human-pathogenic parasites. The table below summarizes this information for the \"G. fuscipes\" species; however, the diseases listed below may be transferred by other tsetse fly species in addition to \"G. fuscipes\". Population control. The containment of sleeping sickness and nagana would be of great benefit to rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa, alleviating poverty and improving food security, thus efforts are undertaken in rein in local populations of \"G. fuscipes\" via methods such as pesticide campaigns and trapping. Mutualism. Microbiome. \"G. fuscipes\" flies rely on the obligate symbiont bacterial genus \"Wigglesworthia\" to supplement their diets with nutrients essential for fecundity. The adult immune system relies similarly on \"Wigglesworthia\" for activation and development. A secondary, facultative symbiont is the genus \"Sodalis\", which is present in tsetse populations considered to play a role in the ability to transmit trypanosomes. Finally, the third symbiont is the genus \"Wolbachia\", transovarially transmitted between generations. To enhance transmission and survival, \"Wolbachia\" has evolved mechanisms to alter host reproduction. Using both culture-dependent and independent methods, it was shown that Kenyan populations of the subspecies \"G. f. fuscipes\" harbor diverse range of bacteria.

According to some sources, \"Walk-in-the-Water\" name originated from an Indian's impression of a steamboat moving (\"walking\") on the water with no sails. Description. \"Walk-in-the-Water\" was built in 1818 at Black Rock, New York for the Lake Erie Steamboat Company by Noah Brown. Her keel was constructed at Scajaquada Creek, and she was launched sideways on May 28, 1818. \"Walk-in-the-Water\" was long with a beam of and a draft of . She had two masts, a quarterdeck raised above the spar deck, and a transom stern.

The raised quarterdeck allowed space for the cabins below, and better visibility for the helmsman as the ship's wheel was"}, {"text": "mounted on the quarterdeck at the stern. The hull was painted white overall, with two black stripes running the length of the vessel, and gray below the waterline. The rails were green, and the stem and transom were both ornamented with gold scrolling. Mounted in the bow was a four-pound wheeled cannon, used to announce the steamer's arrivals, departures and presence, as steam whistles had yet to be invented. \"Walk-in-the-Water\" was powered by a single cylinder, 73-horsepower crosshead steam engine with a bore and stroke, built in New York City by Robert McQueen. The engine was described as having \"a curious arrangement of levers with as many cogs as a grist-mill\", driving the paddlewheels, which were in diameter, through a series of gears. \"Old-fashioned\" coupling boxes between the main shaft and the paddlewheel shafts enabled the two paddlewheels to be individually engaged or disengaged. The boiler was built of copper, reportedly in length with a diameter of , with a single high smokestack. The fuel was wood, preferably \"well-seasoned pine and hemlock split fine\". The vessel is said to have had a speed of somewhere between 6 and 10 mph (9.7\u201316 km/h).

Alternatively, her name may have alluded to the expression \"walks in the water\", reputedly said by an Indian who had seen \"North River\", Robert Fulton's pioneering steamboat, on the Hudson River in 1807. Service history. \"Walk-in-the-Water\" was considered the pioneer of steamboat navigation on several of the Great Lakes, the first steamboat to run on Lake Erie. Job Fish was \"Walk-in-the-Water\"'s first captain. Chief engineer was Brock Grant, and the second engineer was his cousin, William Whitney Grant. Fish was dismissed when he rammed into the dock and blamed it on the engine crew. while he was cussing through the megaphone, where the company that owned \"Walk-in-the-Water\" soon found a replacement. \"Walk-in-the-Water\" maiden voyage began on August 25, 1818, from Black Rock, New York, carrying 29 passengers, bound for Dunkirk, New York; Erie, Pennsylvania; Cleveland, Ohio, and her destination port of Detroit. Because she lacked sufficient power to make headway against the strong currents of the Niagara River, a team of 20 oxen were required to assist in hauling the steamboat out of the river on the first leg of this voyage. The vessel"}, {"text": "then started her routine trips from Buffalo to Detroit on September 1, 1818. Buffalo at this time had no docks to accommodate large vessels. The steamboat completed her journey in about 9 days and traveled at about per hour on average. The fare for the trip in a cabin was $18 and less than half that for a bunk in steerage. Upon arrival in Cleveland, most of the townspeople came to the shore to greet the vessel. In September 1818, \"Walk-in-the-Water\" ran aground near Erie. After repairs, she traveled in 1819 to Mackinac Island, Michigan, via Lake Huron and then to Green Bay, Wisconsin, thus becoming the first steamboat to operate on both Lakes Huron and Michigan. The widely anticipated trip was announced in the May 1819 issue of the \"New York Mercantile Advertiser\". It took ten days for the \"Walk-in-the-Water\" to travel from Buffalo to Detroit and back again carrying supplies and goods for the American Fur Company. During her employment on the Great Lakes, \"Walk-in-the-Water\"s passengers included many notable people, including generals Winfield Scott and Henry Leavenworth.

On November 1, 1821, \"Walk-in-the-Water\" was wrecked at night during gale force weather while near Buffalo, becoming the first steamboat wreck to occur on Lake Erie. She was full of freight and carried 18 passengers. Bound for Detroit, the vessel, commanded by Captain J. Rogers, had departed Buffalo at 4p.m., on October 31 and proceeded to cross Lake Erie en route. Before reaching Point Abino some west of Buffalo on the Canadian shore of the lake, gale-force winds had developed. Captain Rogers made navigational efforts to avoid the winds but was unsuccessful. It was raining heavily and completely dark. The vessel was leaking badly, due to structural stress from the turbulent waters. In the late evening, the captain realized that it was virtually impossible to continue, so he turned about and proceeded back to Buffalo. After declining a dangerous proposal to dock in the river, the captain attempted to navigate to the city's pier. The light from the Buffalo Main Lighthouse was not visible because of the heavy rains and storm. At around 10 p.m., three anchors were dropped, unwittingly causing the vessel to plunge violently at its anchorage, while the leaking"}, {"text": "continued to worsen. Using the full power of the engine, the pumps were engaged while the vessel continued to drag her anchors. \"Walk-in-the-Water\" was now in imminent danger of foundering, and a decision was made to run the vessel towards the shore. After hours of toil, around 4:30 a.m., the captain ordered all passengers on deck to avoid the possibility of them being trapped below. Not knowing their exact location, and unable to see any lights from the shore, the crew cut the anchors. With the gale behind it, the vessel drifted towards shore, and finally made contact with the beach in Buffalo's bay, near the lighthouse. The next swell lifted the vessel and set her down with a crash, causing the keel of the boat to fracture in several places, wrecking her beyond repair. Her cargo, belonging to the passengers, was also considerably damaged. Because of the darkness it was difficult for crew and passengers to know exactly where they had landed. There were no casualties involved, as all the passengers made their way to the lighthouse and took refuge inside by its fireplace.

A large body of research has previously linked low socioeconomic status to poor physical and mental health outcomes, including early mortality. Low socioeconomic status is hypothesized to get \"under the skin\" by producing chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal axis, which increases allostatic load, leading to the pathogenesis of chronic disease. However, some individuals of low socioeconomic status do not appear to experience the expected, negative health effects associated with growing up in poverty. To account for this, the shift-and-persist model proposes that, as children, some individuals of low socioeconomic status learn adaptive strategies for regulating their emotions (\"shifting\") and focusing on their goals (\"persisting\") in the face of chronic adversity. According to this model, the use of shift-and-persist strategies diminishes the typical negative effects of adversity on health by leading to more adaptive biological, cognitive, and behavioral responses to daily stressors. Shift strategies. Broadly, \"shift\" strategies encompass a variety of cognitive and emotion self-regulation approaches that individuals use to deal with stress, including cognitive restructuring, reframing, reappraisal, and acceptance strategies, which change the meaning of"}, {"text": "a stressor or reduce its emotional impact. These shift strategies particularly focus on changing one's response to a stressor, instead of attempting to change the situation or stressor itself. As shift strategies depend more on internal processes (self-control and regulation), than external resources, it is hypothesized that shift strategies may be particularly adaptive responses to the chronic, uncontrollable stressors that are associated with low socioeconomic status. Persist strategies. According to Chen and Miller, \"persist\" strategies are any strategies that help individuals to maintain optimism about the future, create meaning from their experiences of challenge and hardship, and persist \"with strength in the face of adversity.\" Measurement. To evaluate the combination of shift-and-persist strategy use, distinct \"shift\" and \"persist\u201d constructs were initially measured separately by using multiple, self-report measures of reappraisal, emotional reactivity, and future orientation in early research on this model. In 2015, Chen and colleagues published the Shift-and-Persist Scale, which is a combined self-report measure that assesses both shift and persist strategies. The Shift-and-Persist Scale has been validated for use with adults and teenagers.

A simplified 5-item Shift-and-Persist scale has also been published for use with younger children and adolescents (ages 9\u201315).

Reduction of the harmful biological effects of stress. The shift-and-persist model mainly hypothesizes that these strategies have protective effects for the health of low socioeconomic status individuals because they affect biological and physiological stress response tendencies that are relevant for disease. There is some evidence that shift responses (e.g., reappraisal) to acute stressors are associated with attenuated physiological responses to stress, including reduced cardiovascular reactivity.

By constraining the magnitude and duration of biological stress responses, including cardiovascular, hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal axis, and inflammatory responses to stress, shift-and-persist responses are hypothesized to prevent the wear and tear on these systems that increases allostatic load and risk for chronic diseases of aging. Cross-sectional studies provide some evidence that greater emotion regulation abilities are associated with reduced health risk on a variety of indicators of allostatic load. Similarly, self-reported trait levels of optimism and purpose in life have been linked to better concurrent health and health trajectories over time. However, most of the health benefits associated with shift-and-persist consistent strategies are only seen in low socioeconomic status samples. Enhancement of adaptive biological stress-recovery systems. Another alternative, but not mutually exclusive hypothesis, is that shift-and-persist strategies affect health by increasing or up-regulating biological responses that enhance stress recovery and resilience. In particular, the parasympathetic nervous system's functioning may be enhanced by shift-and-persist response tendencies. Emotion regulation abilities that are consistent with shift-coping have been linked to greater parasympathetic nervous system functioning at rest, as indexed by"}, {"text": "higher levels of high-frequency heart rate variability. Further, the parasympathetic nervous system is highly integrated with, and may contribute to the down-regulation of hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal axis and immune system stress responses that influence allostatic load over time. Although parasympathetic nervous system activity is correlated with aspects of shift-and-persist coping, it is not yet established that the use of these strategies actually increases parasympathetic nervous system activity. The oxytocin system has also been identified as another potential mechanism by which shift-and-persist strategies could influence health outcomes. Oxytocin is a hormone that has been linked to a wide range of positive social and emotional functions and can be used to effectively attenuate hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system responses to stress. However, there is little research examining the interplay between shift-and-persist strategy use and the oxytocin system. Impact on health behaviors. It has also been proposed that shift-and-persist strategies may buffer health outcomes in individuals of low socioeconomic status by affecting health behaviors. Previous research has demonstrated that, regardless of socioeconomic status, individuals with emotion regulation difficulties are also likely to engage in poorer health behaviors, including over-eating, sedentary lifestyle, risky sexual health behaviors, and drug use. Individuals of low socioeconomic status who"}, {"text": "learn to regulate their emotions more effectively, by using \"shift\" strategies in childhood, may be more likely than their peers with emotion regulation difficulties to establish and sustain positive health behaviors throughout development. Similarly, persist strategies that help individuals to maintain a positive focus on the future may also affect wellbeing through health behaviors. Prior studies have linked being \"future-oriented\" to lower levels of drug use and sexual risk behaviors. Therefore, it is possible that individuals who regularly use shift-and-persist strategies will be more likely to practice positive health behaviors, which promote healthy development and aging. However, it is important to note that the relationships between emotion regulation abilities and health behavior are bidirectional. Health behaviors, such as physical activity and sleep hygiene, can also have powerful effects on our capacity to successfully regulate emotions. Research support for associations with health. Since 2012, integrative research groups concerned with clinical health psychology, social psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and public health have begun to evaluate the relationships postulated by the shift-and-persist model.

Sadfishing can be caused by many things, the main reason being that someone doesn't get enough attention, and/or has low self-respect. This is proven by the fact that people sadfishing are looking for compliments: very close to narcissistic behaviour, but with desire for compliments from other people for self-satisfaction. Research has found that individuals engaging in sad-fishing tend to have an anxious attachment style. Sometimes adults partake in sadfishing because of jealousy. When someone finds themselves threatened by another person who takes all the attention, they may respond with sadfishing behaviour. Loneliness can result in sadfishing as well; by posting about their emotional problems, people tend to crave attention. Posts about anxiety and depression are really common while sadfishing, as people tend to show care and give attention to the one sadfishing.

Anti-social behaviour can lead to sadfishing as well: if someone has no friends and no one to talk to, they often end up sharing it online. Another reason for sadfishing can be trolling; people will troll and see if they can hook an audience onto themselves. Sadfishing can also be because of actually wanting help; people tend to sadfish in order to feel better, after letting people know that they need help. Separating sadfishing from crisis. It can be difficult to tell if a person is looking for support, sympathy, or if the person is at risk for harming themselves. This is due to the fact that social media often lacks context and the ability to read nonverbal cues, says Dr. Lindsey Giller, a clinical psychologist in New York.

A study shows that the sex of the emerging flies does not correspond to the host size or superparasitism of the host, though the two factors influence the size of adult flies, and the larger adult flies deposit a larger number of eggs than the smaller ones.

Some of the processes studied under the umbrella of political cognition include attention, interpretation, judgment, and memory. Most of the advancements in the area have been made by scholars in the fields of social psychology, political science, and communication studies. History. In the early 20th century, the psychological study of cognition encountered significant push back from behaviorism. According to behaviorists, if social psychology was to be considered a serious science, it should study observable and measurable phenomena. Since the processes of the mind are not observable and thus are hard to measure, behaviorist believed that these were not worth studying. However, as Gestalt psychology was introduced to the US by European immigrants, the dominance of the behaviorist approach began to declined. Questions related to perception, judgment, impression formation, and attitude change began to attract more researchers. In the 1950s, the development of new methodological tools ignited the Cognitive Revolution. In 1984, Susan Fiske and Shelley E. Taylor published the first social cognition book, \"Social Cognition\".

This work served as the basis for the development of modern theories of attribution, advanced independently by Harold Kelley and Bernard Weiner. Kelley's attribution theory included the interaction between three variables: consistency, consensus, and distinctiveness. This interaction was summarized in Kelley's Covariation model, also known as Kelley's cube. Consistency refers to whether the person exhibit the behavior across time. The more the person exhibits the behavior across time, the more representative this behavior is of the person. Consensus refers to whether other individuals exhibits the same behavior when presented in the same situation. If many individuals exhibit the same behavior, then the behavior is less informativeness of the person. Distinctiveness refers to whether the person exhibits similar behavior in other situations.

Motivated reasoning. Motivated reasoning is a cognitive phenomena that occurs when an individual changes a peripheral attitude that is inconsistent with a more central element of the self. The purpose of these cognitive biases is to maintain a positive sense of self-esteem. In the past, they have been referred to as cognitive adaptions and positive illusions. Motivated reasoning has been extensively studied in political psychology. One of the most significant contributions of this area of research is the identification of cases in which voters adopt their preferred candidates' or party' policy positions.

In the elections of 1944 and 1948, the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan performed similar panel-data studies at the national level. These studies were characterized by unstructured questions that allowed participants to express what they knew about politics, as well as what attitudes they had towards political actors and policies. Major theories of voting behavior (1950s\u20131980s). The rational voter. In his 1957 book, \"An Economic Theory of Democracy\", Anthony Downs argues that individuals are rational voters\u2014i.e., they decide who to support by calculating which candidate will maximize the benefits they receive from the government, while minimizing the costs. This rational calculation is performed by taking into consideration the individual's interest, what the party in office has done in the past, and what the party in office and the party out of office could do in the future. Downs defines political parties as coalitions of political"}, {"text": "elites, whose primary goal is to be elected to office. Because they know voters behave rationally, parties adopt the policy positions of most voters to maximize their chances of being elected into office. The interaction between the rational behavior of voters and the rational behavior of the political elite facilitates the development of a two-party system when voters are normally distributed along the liberal-conservative spectrum. The reason for this is that each party will try to maximize the number of voters it can appeal to while still maintaining significant distinctions from the other party. This results in a party heuristic: voters start to consistently support the party that is closest to their beliefs along this liberal-conservative lines. Since its publication, the theory of rational voter has encountered numerous empirical challenges, as research suggests that the average voter is not equipped with the necessary information to make rational decisions as defined by Downs. Specifically, most American voters are unable to think in ideological terms\u2014i.e., to articulate their political positions using coherent belief systems. Drawing from social cognition theories, some scholars have argued voters might be still able to make rational decisions even if they are incapable of putting their perceptions, beliefs,"}, {"text": "and rationales into the formal language of political elites. Specifically, these critics believe that, instead of expecting the average voter to present high levels of political sophistication, political scientists should take into account individual-level variations of information acquisition and processing. They propose that partisan biases motivate individuals to seek out and reject particular sets of information that then lead to candidate evaluations, and then voting. Thus, these critics advance a theory of rational voter that incorporates both cognitive processes and economic utility calculations. Party attachment. In 1960, Angus Campbell, Philip E. Converse, Warren E. Miller, and Donald E. Stokes published \"The American Voter.\" Unlike most prior work, \"The American Voter\" was the first book to systematically analyze quantitative data at the national level from three presidential elections (Truman-Dewey in 1948, Eisenhower-Stevenson in 1952, and Eisenhower-Stevenson in 1956). This data was collected by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan.

Lastly, this book was also one of the first works to incorporate a social psychological perspective to the study of politics.

As described by the quote above, the authors of this seminal work that a Lewinian view of the political world. They conceptualize attitudes towards political objects as field forces that led an individual to decide who to support in an election. According to Campbell and colleagues, the most significant of these forces is partisan identification, which the authors defined as a psychological attachment to a party. These psychological attachments are developed early in life and remain stable throughout adulthood. Today, partisan identification is still the strongest and most reliable predictor of vote choice. According to Campbell and colleagues, these partisan attachments function as lenses that paint the way people perceive political information about issues and political actors. Specifically, voters accept and endorse information that is consistent with their partisan beliefs, and reject"}, {"text": "information that is inconsistent with their partisan views. Additionally, since most voters do not have the time to acquire and process all political information available, they use these partisan attachments as heuristics, or shortcuts, when deciding who to support. Political information and voter sophistication. Ideology. In his widely known book chapter, \"The Nature of Belief Systems\", Philip E. Converse examines the nature of abstract political thought among American voters. Converse defined a belief system as a set of idea-elements that were interconnected by logical, psychological, or social constraints. These belief systems could vary in terms of how central certain idea-elements are to the belief system relative to other idea-elements. The centrality of each idea-element influences whether an individual changes her belief based on external changes in the political world. Idea-elements that are peripheral to an individual's belief system are more likely to change than idea-elements that are central to an individual's belief system. To perform this study, Converse relied on the analysis of open-ended questions. He specifically examines two things. First, he examines what types of political information is associated with what type of political attitudes. Second, he examines whether voters are able to provide an abstract reason to explain"}, {"text": "this association by referring to the liberal-conservative spectrum. He found that most voters do not think in coherent ideological terms. He divided voters into five types based on their ideological sophistication: Ideologues, Near Ideologues, Group Interest, Nature of the Times, and No issue content. About less than 10% of the voters are considered ideologues or near ideologues. Converse's findings provided further evidence against the theory of rational voting, as voters seem not to be aware of political events, seem to lack well-developed political attitudes, and thus might be unequipped to make rational and informed decisions. Political attitudes. In 1992, political scientist John Zaller published his book, \"The Nature and Origins of Mass Opinion.\" In this work, the author examines the processes by which people develop and report their political opinions. According to Zaller, the study of political opinion must be understood through the lens of political awareness and political values, which is summarized in his Receive-Accept-Sample (RAS) model. This model contends that individuals receive political information, decide what to accept and store in memory based on their political values, and when asked to express their opinions about a topic they use a sample of whatever relevant information is accessible in"}, {"text": "memory to construct their opinions on the spot. Since most people do not have a direct experience with the political world, they often rely on the political elite\u2014which includes both politicians and the media\u2014to acquire political information. Zaller argues that voters vary greatly in terms of political awareness either because of a lack of interest in politics or because of a lack of time to pay attention. Consequently, the average voter tends to score low on measures of political knowledge. Zaller observes that this lack of political information is associated with the high level of attitude instability that is exhibited among voters. According to Zaller, this instability is a sign of voters constructing their opinion statements on the spot based on relevant information that happens to be available in memory, rather than the complete in-existence of an attitude (as suggested by Converse) or measurement error. When voters receive information from the political elite, they almost never receive a complete and neutral account of facts. They receive an oversimplified version of the relevant information that often comes with a political frame, which interacts with the voter's predispositions. If the information is consistent with the voter's prior beliefs, then the information is"}, {"text": "accepted and stored in memory. If the information is inconsistent with the voter's prior beliefs, then the information is not accepted. In political science, Zaller's work has been instrumental in the examination of two major types of evaluations: 1) on-line evaluations; and 2) memory-based evaluations. On-line evaluation model asserts that individuals update their evaluations of political objects every time they acquire new information. The memory-based evaluation model asserts that individuals construct their evaluations on the spot based on information available in the working memory. Because most voters fail to recall the content of information they are exposed to during a campaign, many political scientists believed that voters rely on memory-based processes to make political judgments. On the contrary, other scholars believed that voters do update their evaluations of political objects as they acquire new information, but these updates take the form of affective evaluations. Specifically, when voters receive political information\u2014either from a political campaign or from the media\u2014the voter processes that information and turns it into an affective evaluation that is then stored in memory. These stored affective evaluations are then used to make political decisions along with memory-based information. This process is known as the dual processing model. Priming"}, {"text": "and agenda setting. Priming is a cognitive process that occurs when a stimulus changes the attitudinal or behavioral response of an individual. This process is facilitated by the activation of information related to the stimulus in the working memory with or even without the individual's awareness. Psychologists have tested this by priming different cognitive styles in the lab and then having participants read articles about political issues. The thought styles can shift people's support for or away from particular policies. In the study of politics, priming effects have also been studied with relation to the media and political campaigns. In 1987, Shanto Iyengar and Donald Kinder published \"News That Matters: Televised and American Opinion\". This work reported the results of a series experiments designed to assess the role of the media on political attitudes. They found that the primarily role of the media is to set the agenda for political evaluations. According to the authors, the media is able to achieve this by priming\u2014or in this case, by making more salient\u2014certain political issues. These salient issues are then used to make political evaluations.

Most research about political persuasion has taken place within the context of campaign effect.

Contemporary research suggests that whenever persuasion\u2014defined as an attitude change\u2014is achieved, its effects are relatively small and fade away rapidly.

According to Dawson, this political heuristic was developed as a consequence of the historical oppression of African Americans, which facilitated the development of the belief that individual interest was linked to the racial group interest among African Americans.

This species is primarily present in Central and South America, but has also appeared in Mexico. There have been reports of \"L. longipalpis\" as far south as Argentina, as they are found in a wide variety of ecological conditions. Both males and females feed on sugars from plants and aphids, but only adult females feed on the blood of other mammals. The species has recently begun appearing in urban areas throughout Brazil, and serves as a key vessel for the propagation of the parasite \"Leishmania infantum\". The presence of these flies appears to be strongly correlated to the presence of domestic chickens in Latin America. The first major urban outbreak of the lethal \"Visceral leishmanias\" epidemic was detected in Teresina, Piau\u00ed State in the early 1980s following a massive planting of acacias. History of taxonomy. \"L. longipalpis\" has only recently (2017) been accepted as a complex of sibling species as opposed to a heterogeneous species. Earlier on, there were many doubts that \"L. longipalpis\" constituted a single species due to its wide geographic distribution over Latin America. Populations of \"L. longipalpis\" and sand flies studied"}, {"text": "within Brazil showed morphological differences. Males in the northern region of Brazil had only one pair of pale tergal spots, while those in the northeastern region of Brazil had two pairs. Thus, it was hypothesized that the species might be further broken down into two different forms. This hypothesis was confirmed through insemination experiments as males from one form of the species were unable to successfully mate with females of the other form. Since then, several studies within Brazil have been conducted to support the hypothesis that \"L. longipalpis\" is a species complex. Studies involving isoenzyme electrophoresis, genetic polymorphism assessments of DNA and mRNA, cytogenetics, analysis studies of nucleotide variation in the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4, as well as assessments of other mitochondrial genes are all part of mounting evidence supporting the species complex hypothesis. In 2001, \"Lutzomyia psudolongipalpis\" was characterised by Mar\u00eda Dora Feliciangeli's research group as one of the species within the complex. Subsequent research has indicated that there may be 8 distinct species within the complex. Habitat. \"L. longipalpis\" is the most abundant species of sandfly occupying northeastern Brazil, representing 97.9% of all phlebotomine sand flies present there. This species is followed in descending order of abundance"}, {"text": "by \"L. evandroi, L. lenti, and L. sallesi\". \"L. longipalpis.\" These flies are most prevalent near animal shelters, such as chicken coops and corrals. They can also be found in houses, but only in small quantities. Physiology. \"L. longipalpis\" possesses the enzyme Trypsin in their midgut, which is responsible for the primary digestion of proteins in females. Trypsin activity is naturally decreased by 36% to 46% during the first and second days after the second gonadotrophic cycle. However, the presence of the \"Leishmania\" parasite within the sandfly is associated with even lower levels of activity of the protease enzyme. This modulation in Trypsin activity after a sandfly's second blood meal is suspected to produce a conducive physiological environment for \"Leishmania\" infections, which is exploited by the parasite. Transmission and development of the disease are consequently dependent upon the sandfly's access to multiple blood meals. Dogs that have been treated with the LJM17 salivary protein from \"L. longipalpis\" presented a more powerful cellular immune response in response to infection. Higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines were detected with a specific increase in the production of IFN-\u03b3 and IL-10, indicating a stronger and longer-lasting immune response to the disease antigen. The"}, {"text": "strong immune reaction in response to exposure to the salivary protein indicates the protein's potential use in the field as a treatment to vaccinate dogs who then become immune to the disease. Midgut. The acidity of the sandfly midgut is maintained at a stable homeostatic pH level of ~6, even in the presence of strong buffer solutions. However, the proper digestion of blood requires an alkaline pH of 8.15 in the abdominal midgut for proteases like Trypsin to function properly. \"Lutzomyia longipalpis\" females contain the ability to abruptly alter their physiology by switching the internal environment of the abdominal midgut from acidic to alkaline. The presence of undigested proteins serves as the acting stimulus to drive female sand flies to undergo a shift in abdominal midgut pH. Even though the pH of the abdominal midgut is alkaline, carbohydrate digestion is able to function efficiently due to the maintenance of the acidic pH of the thoracic midgut. Diet. Humans are an important blood source for these flies, but they are also known to feed on dog, chicken, and armadillo blood. Blood from horses, guinea pigs, and humans provide the best nutrients to support \"L. longipalpis\" females in their reproduction processes. Interestingly,"}, {"text": "sand flies do not feed on the blood from cats or the opossums \"Monodelphis domestica\". Most scientific evidence points towards \"L. longipalpis\" being eclectic feeders, signifying that they acquire blood from multiple sources. Dangers of multiple blood meals. Although the feeding of blood is important for the maturation of oocytes, too many blood meals can also negatively impact the lifespan of females. \"Lutzomyia Longipalpis\", like most other blood-sucking organisms, ingest large amounts of blood in a single meal. A female sandfly consumes between three and ten times its body weight in one feeding. Blood is rich in proteins, consisting mainly of hemoglobin (Hb), which accounts for approximately 60% of the blood protein content. The digestion of hemoglobin results in the release of high levels of the prosthetic group heme. Heme acts as a toxic molecule that can generate oxygen-reactive species and bypass membranes due to its high permeability. Elevated levels of heme in female \"L. longipalpis\" are suspected to be the cause of increased mortality for females that have ingested multiple blood meals. Pathogenesis. \"L. longipalpis\" plays a primary role in the transmission of \"Leishmania infantum\" throughout several countries in South America.This parasite directly causes visceral leishmaniasis, which is a"}, {"text": "severe disease that affects internal organs, including the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. The parasitic pathogen is transmitted through the bite of a sandfly, and although humans can be infected, humans cannot spread the disease further. Instead, domestic dogs are the primary amplification host for the parasite. Immune response. The direct bite of an infected sandfly during blood feeding allows for the parasitic transmission of \"Visceral leishmaniasis\" from \"L. longipalpis\" to the vertebrate host. The sandfly saliva contains potent physiological compounds that cause anticoagulant, vasodilating, and anti-inflammatory activity, which influences the immune response of the host vertebrate. Dogs that have been treated with the LJM17 salivary protein from L. longipalpis presented a more powerful cellular immune response in response to infection. Higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines were detected with a specific increase in the production of IFN-\u03b3 and IL-10, indicating a stronger and longer-lasting immune response to the disease antigen. The strong immune reaction in response to exposure to the salivary protein indicates the protein's potential use in the field as a treatment to vaccinate dogs who then become immune to the disease. Microbiome of midgut. For transmission of \"Leishmania\" to occur, it must first undergo development into"}, {"text": "an infective promastigote. This crucial step of development occurs in the midgut of \"Lutzomyia longipalpis\". The microbiome of the midgut is a critical factor that influences the growth of the pathogen into its infective state. Sucrose-rich diets result in highly diverse, stable bacterial microbiomes. Meanwhile, blood-feeding diets cause a markable decrease in microbial richness, but this decrease is eventually corrected after a short period of time. Sandflies infected with \"Leishmania\" experience a progressive decline in the bacterial diversity of the midgut. Interestingly, the perturbation of the midgut microbiome due to the introduction of antibiotics causes the sand flies to become unable to support the parasitic growth of the pathogen. This highlights the bacterial microbiome of the \"L. longipalpis\" midgut as another area of interest that can be explored to control the disease. Interactions with domestic chicken. One study within Bahia, Brazil discovered that people with chicken coops in their homes were 4.21 times more likely to contract zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL) compared to those who did not have chicken coops. However, other studies have not been able to verify this significant correlation. Nevertheless, it is well known that \"L. longipalpis\" are highly abundant near chicken coops, but the relationship between"}, {"text": "chicken raising and ZVL is not fully understood because chickens are unable to harbor infections of the parasite. Although chickens cannot serve as host reservoirs for the disease, chickens may play a crucial role in sustaining populations of the sandfly vector for the disease, as well as attracting other mammals, such as dogs, for the parasite to potentially infect. Theories of explanation. One factor possibly contributing to the high \"L. longipalpis\" presence near chickens is the feeding of sand flies on chicken blood. Chickens are dormant at night, which leave large areas of exposed skin susceptible to fly feeding. The epidermis of chickens is relatively thin (~0.02 mm), which allows the sandfly to more easily pierce the skin to acquire the blood nutrients. From an evolutionary standpoint, one theory proposes that male blood-sucking \"L. longipalpis\" may have gained a significant mating advantage by staying near chickens and waiting for females to arrive and feed. At any given moment, the number of male flies far outweighs the number of female flies present on a chicken host, which is similar in size to their mating ritual of courtship. Thus, chickens may play a vital role as a hub for the propagation of"}, {"text": "the fly species. Another theory is that in general, many of these people who raise chickens in chicken coops tend to also raise other animals, such as pigs and livestock, in their yards. Dogs are commonly used as security to guard the chickens, which presents a convenient group of amplification hosts for the parasite within a concentrated area. Life history. The total developmental time for each generation lasts about 6\u20137 weeks. \"L. longipalpis\" follow a general life cycle common to sand flies consisting of eggs, larvae, and pupae, and winged adults. After the female acquires a blood meal, oviposition occurs within 5\u20139 days. After eggs are laid, they require 4\u20139 days to grow before they hatch. Larvae develop in 9\u201324 days, while pupae then develop in approximately 10 days. Immature stages involve growth in the ground, and soil traps have identified chicken sheds as the optimal breeding site for \"L. longipalpis\" larvae. Implications for the residence of these larvae suggest that larval control at chicken sheds could aid in control of adult flies and thus, disease pathogenesis with regards to \"L. infantum\". Development. After emergence from pupae, both male and female \"L. longipalpis\" initially feed on sugars from plants and"}, {"text": "aphids, but as development occurs, only adult females are hematophagous. Both genders will consume sugar-rich foods, such as nectar, honey dew, and plant sap, but females will feed on a wide range of vertebrates, including dogs, chickens, horses, and humans. The blood meal serves as an essential step for the maturation of the ovaries. After consuming a fulfilling amount of blood, the female starts its digestion, which requires three to four days. Females are anautogenous insects, so egg development only occurs after a blood meal. Oviposition begins six days after the blood meal and generally lasts for six days. However, a second blood feed is required to start a new cycle of digestion and oviposition. Mating. This species has an overall sex ratio of 2:1 for males to females, so males outnumber females. Males of the species complex are attracted to vertebrate host odors called kairomones and collectively form nocturnal aggregations called leks near the hosts. Females, unlike males, are haematophagous and are attracted to the lek both by the kairomones secreted from the host, as well as the sex pheromones secreted by the males. Males. Males possess glands that secrete pheromones to attract females that can act over a"}, {"text": "distance of 240 cm. After birth, pheromone biosynthesis occurs after 12 hours, and it takes males 24 hours to become sexually mature. Male courtship behavior involves the aggregation of males who compete with one another by producing sex pheromones. Males encircle females and use the vibrating movement and flapping of their wings to produce audible sounds. These pre-mating signaling frequencies resemble a song that the males use to attract and court the females. Ecology. Several abiotic factors, such as temperature, rainfall, and humidity have been shown to influence the population density size of these sand flies. Rainfall is the most influential variable accounting for population size as documented increases in population size occur during the rainy months and directly after the rainy period. Higher relative humidity is significantly correlated with higher population sizes of the species, as well. Flora. Because the diversity and quantity of plant wildlife are largely associated with the quality and availability of resources that insects can utilize, acacias have been targeted as a point of interest in their involvement with \"L. longipalpis\" and the propagation of its disease. Acacia trees attract the presence of these sand flies due to their ability to provide protection from predators,"}, {"text": "allowing the flies to proliferate. Sand flies also require sugar from plants as their energy source. Plants from the family \"Fabaceae\" are preferentially selected for in the feeding diet of \"L. longipalpis\", while other trees that may be more abundant, such as the \"Anacardiacea\" and \"Meliaceae\" families are not preferred by the fly species. The \"Fabaceae\" family is commonly known as legumes and contain a mixture of carbohydrates ranging from simple sugars to complex heteropolysaccharides.

The multiple price list format is a simple procedure where participants are asked to respond yes or no to a variety of prices for a commodity, and while doing so, reveal their willingness to pay. Traditionally, the multiple price list format has had three potential flaws, interval responses, the ability to switch answers between prices, and framing effects. After manipulating the traditional price list format, Rutstr\u00f6m et al. were able to mitigate the majority of framing effects (tendency to move towards the middle price choice), and reduce a portion of ordering effects. Ordering effects still present were determined to be a result of human error and the possibility of a learning curve as they moved farther down in the responses. Overall, they found that by manipulating small features of the multiple price list format, it could be improved to provide more accurate results on risk preference. This should specifically be designed for each unique population, due to differing results across groups.

It is most closely related to \"S. plinthopyga\", \"S. securifera\", and \"S. bullata\" of the same genus. The species was first discovered by Eugene Thomson in 1868. \"S. barbata\" has also been found in the Middle East near carcasses, where the larvae can thrive. \"S. barbata\" is also a prominent organism in scientific research and has been used to study L-3-glycerophosphate oxidation and location within the mitochondria . Morphology. The body of \"S. barbata\" is grey in color, spanning from 10 to 14 mm in length. \"S. barbata\" has red compound eyes. Its thorax displays three prominent black stripes, with another less distinct stripe on each side. Its abdomen is smaller in width than the thorax and has four sections, featuring a checkerboard pattern. Two scales are found at the base of edge of the species' wings, called epaulet and subepaulet. The epaulet is situated close to the thorax and usually black, while the subepaulet is located further out and white in color. The distinction of these scales is what separates it from other members of its family. Male \"S. barbata\" are on average"}, {"text": "smaller than the females and have stripes that are closer together. Below the section of the abdomen, males have the hypopygium, which is the genital segments. At the end of the genital segments is the anus, which is flanked by two curved forceps that lack lateral motion.

The two-jointed penis is located between the claspers next to the forceps. Males also possess combs on their hind legs composed of a close arrangement of short, blunt bristles. These combs are a distinctive feature of males. Distribution and habitat. \"Sarcophaga barbata\" can be found in North American and the Middle East year round. These flies prefer areas with direct sunlight and warmer climates. \"S. barbata\" are usually found in dead and rotting meat and animal excrement, which are prime environments for them. This is because their larvae are facultative parasites, as they feed on organic tissue and use the hosts' oxygen reserve. Such parasitic feeding causes dermal myiasis in humans and animals. Life cycle. The life cycle of \"S. barbata\" takes between 12 and 60 days. It involves the larva"}, {"text": "stage, the pupa stage, and the adult stage. The fly is viviparous, which means the female gives birth directly to live maggots, the larvae, as opposed to giving birth to eggs that later form into larvae. Embryo. The embryo develops inside the female body and is deposited through the ovipositor into the food source, which is usually decaying meat or animal excrement, with a still intact egg membrane. Some of the deposits might be unfertilized eggs and thus will degrade into the food source. The larvae will remain in their egg membranes until they are totally developed, at which point they will break out and begin to feed. Larva. Fully developed larvae tend to be about 3.6 mm in length and of normal musocid shape. The smallest width is at the anterior end and tapers out reaching a stable cylindrical shape in the middle. The anal and genital areas are still not fully developed and are less prominent, but they have developed tubercles.

The average female has 60 larvae, but can have as few as 6 larvae. Pupa. The pupa puffs up as it develops over time. All cells of one region of the body aggregate and puff up together. However, there is no synchrony between regions of the body. The thoracic region puffs up one day before the abdominal region. This puffing pattern is related to the development of the pupa and is not hormonally controlled. After the pupa is fully developed and after eclosion has occurred, the cuticle of the newly emerged fly is darkened, which requires a hormonal cue that is delivered by the emergence. Genetics. The ovaries of \"S. barbata\" experiences and under-replication of rDNA resulting in half the amount of rDNA as compared to the brain. A similar result is found in \"Drosophila hydei\", which displayed under-replication in both nurse and follicle cells. This degree of under-replication, 47%, is still less than that in polytene chromosomes of the salivary glands of \"Drosophila melanogaster\", which is 20%.

This made an important contribution to scientific research because it indicated a possible energy-saving mechanism employed by certain organisms during development, which is currently being studied. Eye mutation. Wild type \"S. barbata\" possess a red eye color, but the recessive autosomal gene \"ivory\" causes a white eye color. The mutation blocks the formylkynurenine pathway, which produces xanthommatin. Xanthomattin is a yellow-brown pigment in its primary form, and its reduced form is red, which gives the flies their red eye color. These flies can display an intermediate eye color if they ingest xanthommatin precursors. \"Ivory\" gene mutation is homologous to the \"D. melanogaster\" mutation vermillion and the \"M. domestica\" mutation green. \"S. barbata\" with ivory are less viable than wild-type. Spatial perception. An experiment to test the spatial perception of the larvae and its effect on pupation can be performed in vitro.

The court also determined that Congress\u2019s actions to block the executive branch from raising matters of confidence were unconstitutional. The Court noted that while a formal vote is typically required to confirm confidence, certain actions by Congress can implicitly indicate a denial.

It was published by One World, an imprint of Random House. The book discusses concepts of racism and Kendi's proposals for anti-racist individual actions and systemic changes. Background. Kendi is the founder of the Antiracist Research & Policy Center at American University in Washington, D.C. \"How to Be an Antiracist\" expands on ideas from Kendi's previous book, \"Stamped from the Beginning\", which won the National Book Award in 2016. Synopsis. The book is organized into chapters that each examine a different theme through a racial lens. These themes include \"dueling consciousness\", \"power\", \"biology\", \"ethnicity\", \"body\", \"culture\", \"behavior\", \"color\", \"white\", \"black\", \"class\", \"space\", \"gender\", and \"sexuality\". Kendi relates his evolving concept of racism through the events of his own life over four decades, touching on observations and experiences as a child, young adult, student, and professor, from classes he has taught, via contemporary events such as the O. J. Simpson robbery case and 2000 United States presidential election, and through historical events such as the scientific proposals of polygenism in Europe in the 1600s and racial segregation"}, {"text": "in the United States. Kendi further details the manifestations of racism, such as scientific racism, colorism and their intersection with demographics including gender, class and sexuality, arguing that racism is founded in both patriarchy and capitalism. Kendi argues that the opposite of \"racist\" is \"anti-racist\" rather than simply \"non-racist\", and that there is no middle ground in the struggle against racism; one is either actively confronting racial inequality or allowing it to exist through action or inaction. He defines \"racism\" as any policy that creates inequitable outcomes between people of different skin colors; for instance, affirmative action in college admissions is anti-racist in that is designed to remedy past racial discrimination, while inaction on climate change is racist because of the disproportionately severe impacts of climate change in the predominantly non-white Global South. Kendi defines a racist person as anyone who supports racist policies \"through their actions or inaction or expressing a racist idea\", while an anti-racist person is someone who supports anti-racist policies \"through their actions or expressing an antiracist idea\". He draws upon what he describes as his own lifelong racism to argue that anyone, regardless of race, can be racist when they express harmful stereotypes about entire"}, {"text": "groups. Kendi relates how he once accepted certain stereotypes about black people, such as that black youth devalue education, and how he once wore colored contact lenses in order to not \"look black\". He calls such internalized racism \"the real black on black crime\". Kendi disagrees with the prejudice plus power model of racism, which would not allow for Black racism. Finally, Kendi suggests models for anti-racist individual actions and systemic (i.e. policy) changes. He uses the metaphor of racism as a cancer to argue for society-wide \"treatments\" such as ending racist policies (as one might remove a tumor), \"exercising\" anti-racist ideas, consuming \"healthy food for thought\", and being vigilant toward a recurrence of racism \"before it can grow and threaten the body politic\". Rather than presenting a how-to guide, Kendi uses his own experience as an example of shifting one's focus from the personal to the systemic regarding racial issues. He argues that \"being antiracist requires persistent self-awareness, constant self-criticism, and regular self-examination\".

Ericka Taylor of NPR described the book as \"clear and compelling\" and \"accessible\", saying it \"exemplifies a commitment to clarity\". A review in \"The Christian Science Monitor\" called the book \"thought-provoking and insightful\" and an \"important and necessary contribution\" toward understanding racism in the United States. Journalist Afua Hirsch writes that Kendi shows \"honesty in linking his personal struggles\" to the book's subject, which Hirsch describes as \"brilliantly simple\" and \"dogmatic\", but that the book's personal anecdotes seem incomplete and the style resembles that of a textbook too much. It was the Book of the Day in a review for \"The Observer\" in which Colin Grant found that the book \"encourages self-reflection\" and described the writing style as \"calm\" but \"insightful\".

Both commodity and metallic money were used, often concurrently, in a \"hybrid currency system\": The metallic money consisted of coins, both Chinese and Korean, and silver currencies. Paper money was used during the late Goryeo period. Goryeo was the first Korean state to mint its own coins. Among the coins issued by Goryeo, such as the \"Dongguk Tongbo\", \"Samhan Tongbo\", and \"Haedong Tongbo\", about a hundred variants are known. Coins failed to gain widespread use, whereas silver currencies were used until the end of Goryeo. The \"\u016dnby\u014fng\", a silver currency in the shape of the Korean Peninsula, was in circulation for around 300 years and, according to the Bank of Korea, occupies an important place in the history of Korean currency. Goryeo enjoyed monetary stability until the late 13th century, but experienced monetary instability with the introduction of paper currency from the Yuan dynasty. History. Early period. The main currencies used in Goryeo after its founding were Chinese money, such as Tang and Song dynasty coins, and commodity money, such as cloth (). Goryeo did not have a unified legal currency, and"}, {"text": "each region, ruled by the quasi-independent \"hojok\" () regional lords, used a different currency. Following the Khitan destruction of the kingdom of Balhae, which Goryeo had considered a country of kinship, Taejo of Goryeo proclaimed a ban on the circulation of all coins in 942. This was to sanction trade with the hated Khitans, who used metallic money, and protect Goryeo's metal reserves. In addition, Goryeo prepared itself for a conflict with the Khitan Empire. Taejo's prohibition in 942 indicates that, to some degree, coins had been circulating in Goryeo. Following the prohibition, rice and cloth were the medium of exchange. Likewise, cloth was the medium of exchange for everyday transactions in the Liao dynasty and Jin dynasty. During this period in Goryeo, agriculture achieved high productivity and living standards improved; rice and textile production enabled Goryeo to increase its military strength. The ban on coins lasted until 996, three years after Goryeo had resumed diplomatic relations with the Liao dynasty. In 996, Seongjong of Goryeo minted iron coins to trade with the Khitans, who used iron coins. The coins may have been issued to promote centralization. As far as can be established, the iron coins were not inscribed. The"}, {"text": "government made many efforts to promote the use of coins instead of commodity money; in 997, Mokjong of Goryeo prohibited the monetary use of hemp cloth, which, at the time, was the most widely used currency for everyday transactions. However, because of opposition, including from the nobility, the government repealed the prohibition and shifted its policy in 1002: The distribution of the coins was stopped and the public was allowed to use any currency. Meanwhile, coins continued to be used at tea and wine shops (\u8336\u9152\u5e97) and restaurants. The \"Geonwon Jungbo\", an iron coin inscribed with \"Geonwon Jungbo\" () on one side and \"Dongguk\" () on the other side, was excavated from a Goryeo tomb in the vicinity of Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo, in the early 1910s; it was unearthed along with bronze \"Geonwon Jungbo\", \"Dongguk Tongbo\", and \"Dongguk Jungbo\" coins. However, its relation to Goryeo's iron coins minted in 996 is controversial. Gary Ashkenazy of \"Primal Trek\" says that the \"Geonwon Jungbo\" is not mentioned in Korean historical sources and was not cataloged until 1938 in the by Masahiro Okudaira, in which it is attributed to Goryeo. In Korea, the \"Geonwon Jungbo\" is considered a Goryeo coin. The"}, {"text": "original coin, called the \"Qianyuan zhongbao\" in Chinese, dates to 759 during the Tang dynasty; the \"Geonwon Jungbo\", in contrast, is inscribed with \"Dongguk\" on the reverse. \"Dongguk\" was one of Goryeo's many names, along with \"Samhan\", \"Haedong\", \"Dongbang\", and \"Cheonggu\". According to Jun Seong Ho of the Academy of Korean Studies: \"Since cast coins cannot be altered, the coin cannot have been recast preserving the Tang inscription. Most probably, the coin was a heavy denomination cast by the [Goryeo] mint in the late tenth century.\" Furthermore, Goryeo and Tang coins have a different metal composition. In China, the \"Geonwon Jungbo\" is viewed as a Goryeo coin or a Balhae coin. The \"Goryeo coin\" viewpoint is represented by the \"T\u014da senshi\", published in 1938. Wang Zuyuan, a proponent of the more recent \"Balhae coin\" viewpoint, says that Balhae always had close relations with and was strongly supported politically, economically, culturally, and militarily by the Tang dynasty; therefore, he concludes that Balhae, also known as \"Haidong Shengguo\" (\u6d77\u6771\u76db\u570b), minted the \"Geonwon Jungbo\" to show its loyalty to the Tang dynasty during the reign of Emperor Suzong (). However, Balhae coins have not been excavated. Alexander Alexeyvich Kim says, \"One of the"}, {"text": "arguments the Chinese frequently use when they describe [Balhae] as 'provincial power of the Tang Empire' is the absence of [Balhae] coins.\" Russian archaeologists argue that Balhae may have used foreign currency, as many independent and developed states did. Middle period. Goryeo issued new currencies during the reign of Sukjong of Goryeo () based on proposals by the Buddhist monk Uichon and the military officer Yun Kwan. Uichon, who was a younger brother of Sukjong, argued for the implementation of a monetary economy, having experienced its convenience and efficiency in the Song dynasty. Moreover, his proposed reform was intended to centralize the commerce and economy, which were dominated by the nobility. Uichon established a mint bureau in 1097; coins, named after sobriquets of Goryeo, such as the \"Dongguk Tongbo\", \"Samhan Tongbo\", and \"Haedong Tongbo\" were subsequently minted and circulated. Beginning in 1101, a uniquely shaped silver currency called the \"\u016dnby\u014fng\" (), meaning \"silver vase\" in Korean, was cast and circulated. Goryeo bronze coins resembled standard East Asian coins of the time, but differed in that they were inscribed with a national name instead of an era name. Sukjong actively promoted the use of coins. After a five-year delay because of"}, {"text": "opposition, 15,000 \"gwan\" (or 15 million pieces) of the \"Haedong Tongbo\" were minted in 1102. Goryeo had circulated coins in the past, but this was the first full-scale circulation. The \"Sikhwaji\" () in the \"History of Goryeo\" says: \"There is nothing more important than coinage, which may benefit our country and enrich the people ... It is only now that we have issued decrees about the minting of metal coinage.\" To promote their use, the newly minted coins were distributed to government officials and soldiers, and new shops were installed in the capital; in 1104, the states and prefectures were ordered to open new wine shops and restaurants. Sukjong died in 1105. In the following year, his monetary policy was met with stiff resistance from officials in both the central and provincial governments. Despite the opposition, Yejong of Goryeo doubled down on Sukjong's monetary policy in 1112. However, coins ultimately failed to gain widespread use in Goryeo. Silver currency, on the other hand, was used continuously until the end of the dynasty. Xu Jing, a Song dynasty envoy who visited Goryeo in 1123, observed the use of the \"\u016dnby\u014fng\", but not coins, as a currency. The \"\u016dnby\u014fng\" \"silver vase\", popularly"}, {"text": "called the \"hwalgu\" () for its broad mouth, was imprinted with a government seal and first issued in 1101. It was made with one \"geun\" () of silver and designed to resemble the cartographic outline of the Korean Peninsula. The \"\u016dnby\u014fng\" was made because of the illegal manufacture of silver currency; all other silver currencies were prohibited by the government. As a stable, standardized currency, the \"\u016dnby\u014fng\" was used throughout the kingdom in both public finance and private trade; it was also used to pay taxes.

The Langenthal-Jura Railway (\"Langenthal-Jura-Bahn\"; LJB) was opened in 1907 and it also provided the operational management of the Langenthal\u2013Melchnau-Bahn (; LMB), which was opened in 1917. The Solothurn-Niederbipp Railway (\"Solothurn-Niederbipp-Bahn\", SNB), which opened in 1918 also immediately agreed to cooperate with the LJB.

The court found that the bill was repugnant to the constitution. The court ruled that patients were entitled to recover unlawful charges that they had paid because a person's rights to recover property are protected by the constitution. Background & Case Details. Article 26 of the Irish Constitution allows all bills to be sent to the supreme court by the president in order to ensure that they are not repugnant to the constitution. On 22 December 2004 the President referred the Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2004 to the Supreme Court for that purpose. Section 51 of the Health Act 1970 defines \"in-patient services\" as institutional services provided to those maintained by the state either in hospitals, convalescent (nursery) homes or homes for the mentally disabled. The Act provides those in these institutions with maintenance, diagnosis, treatment, advice, medicines and special apparatus (if required). The act also distinguishes between those who can enjoy \"full eligibility\""}, {"text": "and \"limited eligibility\" of such services. Section 45(1) of the Act describes Patients who are entitled to full eligibility as people who, without undue hardship, cannot arrange general practitioner medical and surgical services for themselves and their dependents. Section 53(1) of the act states that charges cannot be levied on those with full eligibility, however, section 53(2) stated that those with limited eligibility may be charged for these services if the Minister for Health makes regulations to this effect. Charges were imposed and money was demanded unlawfully from those with full eligibility, contrary to the express provisions of the 1970 Act. On 6 August 1976, the Department of Health reiterated to the health boards by way of a circular letter that all existing regulations made by the minister regarding in-patient services did not apply to those with full eligibility. However, in spite of this information, the health boards continued to charge those who were considered fully eligible. The pool of people considered fully eligible was also increased in 2001 as section 1 of The Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2001 extended the definition of those considered to be fully eligible to all persons who are normally resident in the state over"}, {"text": "the age of 70. Charges continued to be imposed on these people regardless. The Health (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2004 sought to amend section 53 of the 1970 Act by introducing new subsections (3)(4)(9)(10) and (11) regarding in-patient services. These provisions required the Minister for Health to regulate charges for some in-patient services; in addition the Minister was required to identify the \"category\" of people to which the charges applied, the circumstances for imposing them, and their maximum level. Furthermore the bill required that a chief executive officer of a health board to reduce or waive a fee arising from the regulations if there was an instance of individual hardship. In addition the Bill sought to introduce subsections (5)(6)(7) and (11) regarding relevant charges. These subsections would make the imposition of charges for in-patient services on persons with full eligibility lawful and would also consider them to have been always lawful. This would bar any patients bringing legal proceedings forward against the Minister for Health in order to recover their lost sums. In the past these charges had been imposed without any lawful authority and contradicted the express provision of Section 53(1) of the Act.

It was decided by the Supreme Court, regarding hearsay that: The test is not whether the members of An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na have fears or an apprehension for witnesses.

The spirit of the Supreme Court's judgement was that frozen embryos were not extended the same right to life as given to embryos protected in the womb. With an increase in IVF (\"in vitro\" fertilisation) among couples, legal issues arise when the couple decide to separate or divorce. This is a landmark case as it gave a judgement on such a circumstance where a couple has separated but there are surplus embryos frozen at a clinic. The Court made its decision by ultimately taking into account the right to reproduce. Facts of the case. The Roches (Mary and Thomas) were married in 1992. Mary gave birth to a son in 1997. Subsequently she underwent surgery for an ovarian cyst and she lost part of an ovary. Again she had a fertility treatment in 2001 which proved to be unsuccessful. In July of the same year, the couple underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) at Sims Clinic Limited. As a result of this"}, {"text": "treatment, six viable embryos were created. Three embryos were used; three were frozen. As a result, Mary became pregnant and gave birth to a girl in 2002. Both signed consent forms and various other forms involving egg retrieval and embryo freezing. They both took full responsibility for the cyro-preserved embryos. The relationship between the couple broke down towards the end of the second pregnancy. They entered into judicial separation but they were still legally married. The Plaintiff wished to have the remaining embryos implanted into her uterus but Thomas objected to having another child with the Plaintiff and refused consent. As a result, Sims Clinic was unwilling to release them. In 2005, Sims Clinic informed both parties that they had \"not received any payment\" for the embryos since 2003 and that this failure resulted in a breach of unit policy which rendered the storage contract as void. With this in mind, Mary initiated proceedings in the court. Issues. The court had to resolve a number of issues: Constitutional interpretation. Article 40.3.3\u00b0 of the Irish Constitution stated that:\"The State acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees"}, {"text": "in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.\"Today this section has been removed altogether by Article 40.3 which states \"provision may be made by law for the regulation of termination of pregnancy.\" As Article 40.3.3\u00b0 did not define what was meant by \"unborn\" it was left to the courts to define the term and what it needed to protect. Judgment of the High Court. The High Court decision was delivered by McGovern J on 18 July 2006 in which he held that Mr Roche did not give express or implied consent to the implantation of the remaining embryos into Mrs Roche's uterus. It was not specified in the contract what should happen if a situation like the present one arises. To say Mr Roche is required by the contract to give consent to the implantation is false as there is nothing in the contracts binding him to do so. The most important issue before the Court was whether the embryos were 'unborn' for the purpose of Article 40.3.3\u00b0 of the Irish Constitution. Witnesses were called to the stand, some of whom argued that from the moment an egg is"}, {"text": "fertilized by a sperm new human life begins. Others argued that human life only began once the embryo was implanted into the uterus. Another group of witnesses said that it was impossible to say when human life begins. Ultimately, the Court decided that since frozen embryos were not \"unborn\" within the meaning of Article 40.3.3, the rights arising under Article 41 were invalid. Also, it is not the Court's duty to explain the legal status of an embryo outside the womb. This matter is exclusively for the Oireachtas to decide on. The decision was subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court where the appeal was dismissed. Holding of the Supreme Court. The main issue that the Court dealt with is whether the frozen embryos stored in Sims Clinic can be protected under Article 40.3.3 of the Constitution by falling within the scope of an unborn as mentioned in the subsection. This is an issue under the rubrics of public law. Whereas the dispute about implied consent in the contractual arrangements between both parties falls within the realm of private law. In any case, the Appellant essentially argued that the frozen embryos did have a right to life despite the Defendant's objection."}, {"text": "Appellant maintained this claim on foot of Article 40.3.3. The Court ruled against Mary and upheld the decision of the High Court. It concluded that frozen embryos were not \"unborn\" until they are actually implanted in a uterus. The court chided the legislature for failing to pass laws regarding embryos. Nevertheless, the Court did state that if a woman's only chance of having a child was access to frozen embryos then consent by an ex-partner could not be refused. Subsequent developments. The Eighth Amendment was placed into the Irish Constitution in 1983 which made abortion illegal in Ireland. In May 2018 the Irish population voted to repeal this amendment and it was signed into law on September 25, 2018.

A \"inordinate\" delay of seven years before the man was charged, coupled with the nature of the offences being described as \"a form of sexual experimentation between two children under the age of ten\" led to the decision of the court. Background. The appellant was nine years old when the \"sexual experimentation\" began with his sister, who was aged seven at the time. This carried on until shortly after the appellant reached the age of adult responsibility. In 1991, the appellant's mother expressed concern that her youngest daughter (J), then aged three, might have been sexually abused by the appellant. A social worker and psychologist reported their findings of these accusations to the Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na (the police) in January 1992.

The case was brought to the High Court in 2002, where the granting of an order preventing further prosecution of the appellant was refused. During the High Court hearing the DPP decided not to proceed with charges that occurred before the appellant was fourteen years old, as Irish law at the time did not recognise that a male under that age was capable of sexual intercourse. The DPP proceeded with all other charges. The High Court judge noted that The fact that a young person commits a crime and delay occurs does not of itself per se confer immunity from prosecution.

The court stated that a period of \"inordinate delay\" existed in the seven-year period from when the Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na were aware of the allegations in 1992 until 25 May 1999 when the man was charged. The nature of the offences were described as \"a form of sexual experimentation between two children under the age of ten and continued for a relatively short time after the applicant had reached the stage at which, in the eyes of the law, his actions attracted the same degree of criminal responsibility as adults.\" It was also noted that the alleged activities did not cause the appellant's sister to suffer significant long-term psychological damage, according to a psychologists' report. Mr Justice Keane also noted the \"bewildering contradiction\" between the statement of the appellant, in which it was stated that sexual intercourse continued with his sister until she was nineteen years of age, and the"}, {"text": "statement of the appellant's sister, in which it was stated that the alleged activity ceased when she was twelve years old. Emphasising the importance of a speedy trial, the court concluded: I am satisfied that, in this case, the nature of the offences with which the [appellant] is now charged coupled with the inordinate and wholly unjustifiable delay in bringing them to trial renders this a case in which the constitutional right of the applicant to a reasonably expeditious trial outweighs any conceivable public interest there might be in the prosecution of the alleged offences.The court allowed the appeal and substituted the High Court's order for an order prohibiting the DPP from proceeding with the prosecution."}, {"text": "Kelly v Trinity College Dublin [2007 IESC 61]; [2007] 12 JIC 1411; is an Irish Supreme Court case in which the Court held that former employments or associations are insufficient, in the absence of other evidence, to disqualify a person from participating in disciplinary or similar tribunals related to that former employment. Background. Kelly (a student of Trinity College Dublin at the time) made a complaint of bullying against a member of staff. Following internal investigations which rejected his complaint, Kelly appealed to the Visitors to Trinity College Dublin (\"Visitors\" are part of the oversight structure of Trinity College Dublin). The Visitors decided that they had no jurisdiction to consider the complaint. Kelly sought to apply for the judicial review of this decision of the Visitors on the basis of the \"composition of the Visitors and alleges bias\". The application for judicial review was dismissed in the High Court (Abbot J) and was appealed directly to the Supreme Court pursuant to Order 58, Rule 13 of the Rules of the Superior Courts. Amongst the grounds on which judicial review was sought was that one of the Visitors, Professor Sagarra, was disqualified from the role by reason of objective bias as"}, {"text": "she had previously been employed by the university and had become a Pro-Chancellor of the university in 1999.

In making the claim of objective bias, Kelly relied on the test set out by Keane CJ in He relied on \"Orange Communications Ltd. v. Director of Telecoms (No. 2)\" [2000 IESC 79; [2000] 4 IR 159] in which Keane C.J. defined objective bias as the apprehension \"that the decision will be set aside on the ground of objective bias where there is a reasonable apprehension or suspicion that the decision maker might have been biased, i.e. where it is found that, although there was no actual bias, there is an appearance of bias.\" Holding of the Supreme Court. Fennelly J delivered the sole written judgment, with whom the other judges agreed. The Supreme Court held that Kelly had not established an arguable case of objective bias against the decision of Professor Sagarra in her role as a Visitor. Noting that"}, {"text": "\"former employments or association\" are not sufficient in and of themselves to disqualify someone from participating in a disciplinary or similar tribunal and that Professor Sagarra's position as Pro-Chancellor did not undermine her ability to bring a \"fresh and independent mind\" to the matters before the Visitors, the Supreme Court cautioned against attempting to list the factors that may or may not give rise to a risk of bias. Citing from the English Court of Appeal case, \"Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield Properties Ltd\" [2000] 2 WLR 870; [2000 QB 451], the Supreme Court noted that \"[e]verything will depend on the facts\" The Supreme Court therefore held that it would not be a justified step to disqualify an otherwise qualified person from performing an adjudicative role merely because of that person's previous profession, social links or background. During the hearing Kelly also objected to the presence of Macken J on the Supreme Court bench for this case on the basis that Macken J was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin and had been a law lecturer there. This fact was raised by the judges prior to the hearing, but it was only after the hearing had commenced that Kelly raised"}, {"text": "an objection.

Mr. Damian Dolny of Wielkopolska, Poland was arrested and charged under the Polish penal code articles 156 \u00a7 1, 157 \u00a7 1 and 158 \u00a7 1 following a violent assault he carried out against Mr. Andrzej Lnka on June 20, 2004.

However, the Counsel for Mr. Dolny rejected this. He submitted that Mr. Dolny's offense corresponded to s.2(1) of the Act of 1997. Furthermore, he claimed that the description of the offense did not \"contain all the necessary ingredients\" to constitute a criminal offense under Irish law.

The territory watered by this river has scarcely any agricultural value, according to the same surveyor, and the forest was burned in the past. There is, however, a new growth of white and black spruce, tamarack and birch. Salmon frequent this river, especially at the foot of the first fall, and it is also considered excellent for hunting.

The result of this decision was to broaden the use of fraud and specifically to rule that the charge of \"conspiracy to defraud\" is constitutional. Background. Case details. The case involved the efforts of an individual to resist extradition to the United States to face charges for wire fraud. The defendant argued that because there was no \"wire fraud\" crime in Ireland he could not be extradited. His argument hinged on the point at which he became involved in the fraudulent enterprise. The fraud involved two phases. The first phase involved obtaining money from banks under false pretenses. The second phase consisted of a \"lulling phase\" where the fraudsters assured the bank that the enterprise was legitimate. The first phase of the scheme corresponded to existing Irish laws, but the second did not, according to a lower court. The defendant in this case was involved in the second phase,"}, {"text": "but not the first phase. As such the court had to rule if there was, in fact, a corresponding Irish law and if so, whether or not extradition was permitted.

The Space Applications Centre developed a miniaturized high-resolution camera with photo and video capability that was carried aboard SDX01. SDX02 was equipped with a Multi-Spectral Payload (MMX) for vegetation and natural resource monitoring. In order to properly plan the Gaganyaan missions, SDX02 has a radiation detector that will collect data on radiation levels in space. After separation, the two spacecraft will run their payloads for a period of two years. The Bhartiya Docking System (BDS) was developed by ISRO based on the International Docking System Standard (IDSS) after unsuccessful attempts to import the docking technology from abroad. For autonomous docking, the relative velocities of SDX01 and SDX02 were reduced to 0.036 km/h or 10 mm/s using retrorockets and a sensor suite.

According to a contemporary, Poulard told him she \"took the eggs and beat them as they were.\" Depending on the source, butter or cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche is dropped into a hot long-handled copper pan, the pan is placed into a hot oven until the butter is melted, then the egg mixture is added, and the pan placed over a wood-fired flame to cook.

Paul-\u00c9mile met C\u00e9zanne several times in Paris, and his influence became evident in Pissarro's green-gold classical compositions from around 1918 onward.

In order for the Supreme Court to grant leave, it has to be established that it was either a matter of public importance or \"that it is otherwise in the interest of justice necessary that there be an appeal to this Court\". The Supreme Court noted that since the enactment of the 33rd Amendment the function of the Supreme Court is no longer an appeal court to remedy errors made by the trial court.

The Constitution will not allow parties to leapfrog from the High Court to the Supreme Court as the Supreme Court asserted that they will only hear appeals that are limited to issues that are important for the public or otherwise in the interest of justice to be heard by it.

The court ruled that an arrest will be thrown out if it is shown that it was unnecessary to place handcuffs on the accused. There are certain circumstances that must be considered. For instance, whether the accused has a tendency for violence whilst intoxicated. The ruling raised the possibility that an invalidation of the arrest will also have an effect on the admissibility of the evidence. Background. On 21 September 2007, Peter Cullen was driving through Clonee Village in Dublin around 10:30 pm when Garda Sergeant Moyles noticed Mr.Cullen driving in an erratic fashion. He became suspicious that he was under the influence of alcohol and signalled for him to pull over. He requested that Mr.Cullen provide a breath sample under the Road Traffic Act 1994, as amended, which he did so without any objections. The test indicated that his blood alcohol level was above the legal limit. He was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, placed in handcuffs and brought to"}, {"text": "Blanchardstown Garda Station. After arriving at the Garda Station he then provided two more breath specimens. These specimens indicated 71 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. When cross-examined, Sergeant Moyles admitted that Mr.Cullen had been obliging during the arrest and it was because of personal policy that he had decided to place the accused in handcuffs, rather than belief that it was necessary. This establishes how difficult it is to rely on gut instinct. It may be suggested that Sergeant Moyles was taking the usual precautions whilst arresting someone, in any given circumstance. However, the fact that Mr. Cullen was obliging during the arrest could mean that Mr. Cullen's constitutional rights have been breached which would have made his arrest unlawful. On appeal in the Circuit Court, the Judge was of the opinion that Sergeant Moyles had acted unlawfully in placing handcuffs on the defendant. His Honour Judge O'Sullivan stated a case for the opinion of the Supreme Court on two issues. He asked: In the District Court, Sergeant Moyles believed that the arrest was justified because such persons, whilst intoxicated could become abusive and resist arrest. Supreme Court Decision. The court concluded that the arrest made on"}, {"text": "the defendant was unjustified. As a result, the Supreme Court also had to consider the admissibility the evidence relating the blood alcohol concentration. The Court held that it was unlawful to place handcuffs on suspects who were being arrested without giving any consideration to the context and, in particular, to the behavior and demeanor of the individual being arrested. The Court held that the Garda\u00ed must only use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances. This is of paramount importance. It is for the Garda to make such a judgment and the law allows a generous measure of judgment to be exercised as to whether such force is or is not justified. Fennelly J. relied on the principles established in DPP v Gaffney and DPP v McCreesh. In DPP v Gaffney, the arresting Garda breached Article 40 of the Constitution. The arresting Garda went into the house of the defendant to arrest him. However, this arrest was held unlawful as the arresting Garda was not given the permission to enter the house. There was a deliberate and conscious breach of the defendant's constitutional rights. For the arrest to be lawful, a warrant should have been made. DPP v McCreesh"}, {"text": "stated that an arrest may not be valid if the defendant was not aware that an arrest is being made. The defendant must be given clarity, such as words that would expressly state that the defendant is being arrested.

In this case, the defendant was shown to have not resisted arrest. Furthermore, he was cordial and sensible whilst being detained. Hardiman J. agreed with this judgment. The Supreme Court seemed to be of agreement that the arresting Garda was acting subjectively. Dissent. Interestingly, Clarke J. disagreed in part from the judgment. In his dissent, he noted that while the placing of handcuffs on the defendant was unlawful, it affected the manner of his arrest rather than the entitlement to arrest him, and therefore did not affect the lawfulness of his arrest or custody. Clarke J held that \"the unlawful handcuffing of the person only rendered the manner of the arrest, not the arrest itself, unlawful\". The exclusionary rule means that evidence obtained from"}, {"text": "the defendant would be unlawful, if it was held that the defendant's constitutional rights were breached.

DPP v Peter Cullen has since been referred to as authority for the lawfulness of arrests in subsequent cases."}, {"text": "Braddish v DPP [2001 3 IR 127] was an Irish Supreme Court decision that established principles in relation to gathering of evidence. The Supreme Court ruled that \"the Garda\u00ed are under a duty to seek out and preserve all evidence bearing on the guilt and innocence of an accused.\" Daniel Braddish, the applicant, sought a prohibitory injunction against his approaching prosecution for robbery. Video evidence of the alleged crime had been in the possession of the Garda\u00ed but was no longer available. The effort to have the prosecution overturned was refused in the High Court. On appeal, the Supreme Court was satisfied that the Applicant was entitled to the relief sought and accordingly made an order to quash the prosecution. Background of the case. Facts of case. On 2 July 1997, a robbery occurred in a shop in Limerick which had been secured by surveillance camera. A Garda examined the tape and he concluded that it demonstrated the robbery in progress, clearly showing Braddish committing the crime. Subsequently, Braddish was arrested and detained under \"section 4 of the\" \"Criminal Justice Act\" \"1984\". While in custody, Braddish confessed and signed a statement that he had indeed committed the robbery. He was"}, {"text": "then released from custody and nine months later charged with the robbery. Braddish was first tried before the Limerick Circuit Criminal Court on 24 March 1999 and a retrial was ordered as the jury could not reach an agreement. The retrial was held before Haugh J on 20 April 1999 where he did not allow evidence in stills taken from the video tape while it was with the Garda. Haugh J prohibited the submission of this evidence because the actual video tape was not presented. Hence, the jury was discharged to save Braddish from being in an unfair situation before the Court. On 14 June 1999, he sought for judicial review on the basis that a continuation of his trial would a breach of his constitutional right to fair trial because the prosecution did not produce original evidence to him. High Court decision. The Garda\u00ed had been in possession of a video that showed the alleged crime. However, that evidence was no longer available. The videotape was returned to the shop after Braddish had confessed. Hence, Braddish had sought a prohibitory injunction against his approaching prosecution. Nevertheless, High Court refused such relief because the prosecution was relying on his confession"}, {"text": "rather than on the videotape. Had prosecution tried to rely on photographic evidence, then there would have been a significant problem as Braddish would not have had the opportunity to contest the evidence put against him. The Judge also took note of when the request for the video tape was made by the Counsel on behalf of Braddish. The issue before the Court was whether or not there is a need to prevent Braddish's further prosecution solely because the video tape was now unavailable. That piece of evidence was vital as it showed Braddish executing the crime and this was the only evidence available which identified him as the perpetrator. No other identification evidence was presented. Holding of the Supreme Court. While in Garda custody, Braddish made an inculpatory statement by confessing that he was the culprit in the video tape which was also signed by him. The prosecution's case was based wholly on the alleged confession that was made by Braddish, rather than on the video tape evidence. It was settled in this case that evidence admissible in relation to guilt or innocence must be preserved, heretofore necessary and practicable, until the judgment of the trial. This same rationale"}, {"text": "was accepted by Lynch J in the case of \"Robert Murphy v DPP\" which the Supreme Court cited and agreed to. Respondents asserted that at core this case was being advanced because of the alleged inculpatory statement made by Braddish. Even if the video tape was produced before the Court, Braddish would not benefit from it anyway and if anything, the only one at a disadvantage with the reintroduction of this tape is the prosecution. Hence, the absence of the video evidence should not be a sufficient ground for him to receive any relief from the Court. In this case, Braddish pleaded not guilty despite his previous confession to the crime. If Braddish wanted to dispute his previous confession on the grounds that his detention was illegal, then it would be difficult to put forward a persuasive argument without the video evidence as his arrest was made solely on the basis of it. The stills presented before the lower court cannot be used for the purposes of identification evidence. Hardiman J disagreed with the contention that video tape had little importance in this case simply because the prosecution was not depending on it. Also, the confession evidence put forward was"}, {"text": "being highly contested against as well. It is well known that in matters of confession evidences, it should be used as corroborating evidence and a high reliance on it to convict an accused should be avoided. Besides, the video tape can be a tool to inculpate and exculpate Braddish. The Supreme Court concurred that the video tape should not have been returned and disposed of as it was real evidence of the guilt of the accused. Hardiman J writing for the Court noted that \"it is the duty of the Garda\u00ed, arising from their unique investigative role, to seek out and preserve all evidence having a bearing or potential bearing on the issue of guilt or innocence.\" However, it was noted by the Court that this duty is not absolute where the evidence is not directly relevant to the case, and will be mitigated by considerations of practicability, feasibility and the availability of resources. Obiter dictum was created which means that where the evidence was not of direct and manifest relevance, then the duty to preserve and disclose had to be interpreted in a fair and reasonable manner on the facts of the particular case. Other pieces of evidence cannot"}, {"text": "be disposed simply because the argument is being made on the grounds of just one evidence. The destruction of any piece of evidence cannot be justified by saying it is not being used in the case. The Judge said this is because an evidence which the prosecution believes to be irrelevant could be considered to be of importance by the defense. This is why any real evidence should be preserved and disclosed to the defense counsel beforehand. In this case the Garda who disposed the video tape had said he believed the man on tape was Braddish. So, it is difficult to understand why then he did not preserve the evidence instead of getting rid of it. The Court also mentioned that a Garda has no right to destroy an evidence as he pleases. With respect to the time when the video was first requested, Hardiman J asserted that Braddish was not charged until nine months after his arrest and the request was made five months after this. He did not think it is reasonable to hold the request made for video tape against Braddish as there is contradicted evidence that Braddish made a formal request for it on the"}, {"text": "day he was charged as well. It is illogical to assume that he should have made a request before he was charged as there is no reason for the prosecution to present evidence before an accused is charged. Hardiman J also found that Braddish is entitled to apply for judicial review. The Supreme Court overturned the High Court judgement and allowed the appeal as the video tape was not presented before the courts."}, {"text": "This article deals with the history and development of tanks employed by the military of Sweden, from the interwar period, and World War II, the Cold War and modern era. History. Following World War I, the Swedish government purchased parts for the German tank prototype LK II and then assembled in Sweden as the \"Stridsvagn m/21\" (Strv m/21 for short), which was essentially an improved version of the LK II prototype. Ten of these tanks were built, their armament a single machine gun. In 1929, five were rebuilt to create the Strv m/21-29 variant which was armed with a 37mm gun or two machine guns and was powered by a Scania-Vabis engine. The Stridsvagn m/31 (Landsverk L-10) tank was the next design and built by AB Landsverk. It was armed with a 37 mm Bofors gun and a light machine gun, and was equipped with 8\u201324 mm armor. Only three were built and, despite being highly advanced for the time when World War II broke out, they were dug in as static bunkers.

On 1 September 1939, at the outbreak of war, Sweden relied on a numerous army through conscription and the use of a Total Defence policy. Throughout World War II, Sweden held the largest infantry army of the Nordic countries with more than 1,000,000 soldiers. When the war broke out in 1939, Sweden had one armoured division consisting of merely 13 light tanks, only 3 of which were considered to be modern (the remaining 10 had"}, {"text": "been in service since the 1920s). During the war, Sweden had the Stridsvagn m/41 which was a license-built version of the Czechoslovak TNH medium tank, and also the Landsverk L-60 light tank. The L-60 was adopted by the Swedish army in 4 main variants: Stridsvagn m/38, Stridsvagn m/39, Stridsvagn m/40L and Stridsvagn m/40K. The most significant Swedish tank development during the war was the Stridsvagn m/42 (Strv m/42) a medium tank it fielded with a 75 mm L/34 gun, the first of its size in a Swedish tank. It entered service with the Swedish army in November 1941. Modern in design, it was also well protected and mobile. A total of 282 were produced. In 1945, the number of tanks serving the Swedish army had increased from 13 to more than 800. As a neutral nation in World War II, Sweden did not engage in combat; thus its tanks have no battlefield record. The Stridsvagn 74 was a tank in use with the Swedish Army from 1958 to 1984.

The Stridsvagn 103 is a Swedish post-World War II main battle tank. It is known for its unconventional design: it is turretless with a fixed gun traversed by engaging the tracks and elevated by adjusting the hull suspension. While turretless armoured fighting vehicles are usually classified as assault guns or tank destroyers, despite its unique gun laying process the Strv 103 is considered a tank because its designated combat role matched those of other tanks within contemporary Swedish doctrine. It is the only mass-produced tank since World War II to dispense with a turret. The Strv 103 was designed and manufactured in Sweden.

On the other hand, Anarky is a vigilante with anti-authoritarian beliefs who aims to dismantle corrupt systems and bring about social change. Though both are acting as vigilantes in Gotham, their methods and goals conflict. The plot revolves around Anarky attempting to incite chaos in the city to expose the flaws in Gotham's power structure, hoping to inspire the citizens to rise up. Red Hood opposes Anarky's plan because of the potential harm to innocent people caught in the crossfire. Their battle becomes both physical and ideological, with Red Hood representing a more cynical, pragmatic approach to justice, while Anarky believes in radical change through disruption and anarchy.
