Scenario Study

The article will discuss the results of an exploratory scenario study on victim satisfaction with victim-accused negotiations in a sample of 242 Dutch university students. The data were collected at the University of Leiden. The main purpose of the research was to investigate the impact of different types of damage on victim-accused negotiations. It was our hypothesis that reaching a restorative agreement and satisfaction with that agreement would be the most difficult for subjects with a high degree of psychological injury. Results confirm this hypothesis. Furthermore the results show that subjects with high material damage were more satisfied with a restorative agreement than subjects with little material damage. Some implications for further research will be discussed.

The Impact

Land reclamation over the coast has four philosophically values, among others is that reclamation must observe prevailing regulations. An administrative lawsuit has been lodged into Jakarta Administrative Court against the Governor of Jakarta Decree No. 2485 of 2015 concerning License on K Island Reclamation. The problems arose over the case both legally, socially, and philosophically. This article will examine the Administrative Court consideration over the case, especially on the issues of the implication of Governor’s license, coastal region use in the perspective of sustainable development, and the implication of license towards the case pending before civil court. The research methodology uses normative research. The research fi nds that the license issued by the Jakarta Governor comply with Article 93(1) of Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Protection and Management of Living Environment. The use of coastal region should be directed for the achievement of sustainability of ecology, economy, social, and cultural. The implication of license related to civil case has a correlation that the licensee cannot freely doing reclamation even though he holds a license. The licensee must observe the impact of reclamation over surrounding environment. A civil lawsuit based on unlawful act committed by the licensee can be submitted if the reclamation infl icts fi nancial loss to the surrounding community.

This study tried to parse the possibility of contempt of court application is a breakthrough to build for effectiveness of real execution of civil cases. The discussion in this study rests on two problem objects, namely; 1) What are the obstacles in the real execution of civil case decisions; and 2) How can a solution be proposed to encourage the effectiveness of the real execution of civil cases. This paper is used to normative legal research so that it rests on the statute approach. The results of this research to indicate that in addition to normative problems in execution arrangements, in practice it is often found that problems occur due to physical resistance from the losing party in the trial. Because of this reason, it is important to apply contempt of court as a legal formulation to create an effective and efficient execution system.Keyword: Contempt of court, Real Execution, Civil CaseAbstrakKajian ini mencoba mengurai kemungkinan Penghinaan terhadap Pengadilan yang merupakan terobosan untuk membangun efektivitas eksekusi nyata dalam perkara perdata. Pembahasan dalam penelitian ini bertumpu pada dua objek masalah, yaitu; 1) Apa saja kendala dalam pelaksanaan putusan perkara perdata; dan 2) Bagaimana solusi yang dapat diajukan untuk mendorong efektivitas pelaksanaan perkara perdata yang sebenarnya. Tulisan ini digunakan untuk penelitian hukum normatif sehingga bertumpu pada pendekatan undang-undang. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa selain masalah normatif dalam pengaturan eksekusi, dalam praktiknya sering ditemukan masalah yang terjadi karena adanya perlawanan fisik dari pihak yang kalah dalam persidangan. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk menerapkan Penghinaan terhadap Pengadilan sebagai rumusan hukum untuk menciptakan sistem eksekusi yang efektif dan efisien. Kata kunci; Penghinaan terhadap Pengadilan, Eksekusi Nyata, Perkara Perdata

BackgroundEach year approximately 2000 UK service personnel are medically discharged with physical and/or psychological injury or illness. While there is much research on both psychological injury and physical injury, the challenges of transition relating to the intersection between the two has received less attention. This article reports on the first phase of a 2-year funded study with the aim to understand the lived experiences of veterans who have been discharged from service with a physical injury or illness and the impacts of this on their mental health.MethodsUsing a qualitative methodology, 22 veterans who had been discharged from service within the last 8 years were interviewed to identify key aspects of their experience of the transition process.ResultsThe article highlights two key themes: how some veterans adjusted to life with a physical injury or condition; and, the intersections that became apparent between physical injury and mental health. The challenges that veterans faced were shaped by the transition process and by the way in which the medical discharge process was conducted.ConclusionsConsideration of improvements to the medical discharge process could influence better outcomes for those who have left with a physical injury or illness and later find themselves struggling with mental health issues.

The Impact

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.

AbstractWhilst lithopanspermia depends upon massive impacts occurring at a speed above some limit, the intact delivery of organic chemicals or other volatiles to a planet requires the impact speed to be below some other limit such that a significant fraction of that material escapes destruction. Thus the two opposite ends of the impact speed distributions are the regions of interest in the bioastronomical context, whereas much modelling work on impacts delivers, or makes use of, only the mean speed. Here the probability distributions of impact speeds upon Mars are calculated for (i) the orbital distribution of known asteroids; and (ii) the expected distribution of near-parabolic cometary orbits. It is found that cometary impacts are far more likely to eject rocks from Mars (over 99 percent of the cometary impacts are at speeds above 20 km/sec, but at most 5 percent of the asteroidal impacts); paradoxically, the objects impacting at speeds low enough to make organic/volatile survival possible (the asteroids) are those which are depleted in such species.

The Impact

AbstractA large amount of CO has been detected above many SL9/Jupiter impacts. This gas was never detected before the collision. So, in our opinion, CO was released from a parent compound during the collision. We identify this compound as POM (polyoxymethylene), a formaldehyde (HCHO) polymer that, when suddenly heated, reformes monomeric HCHO. At temperatures higher than 1200°K HCHO cannot exist in molecular form and the most probable result of its decomposition is the formation of CO. At lower temperatures, HCHO can react with NH3 and/or HCN to form high UV-absorbing polymeric material. In our opinion, this kind of material has also to be taken in to account to explain the complex evolution of some SL9 impacts that we observed in CCD images taken with a blue filter.

AbstractHydrogen cyanide polymers – heterogeneous solids ranging in color from yellow to orange to brown to black – may be among the organic macromolecules most readily formed within the Solar System. The non-volatile black crust of comet Halley, for example, as well as the extensive orangebrown streaks in the atmosphere of Jupiter, might consist largely of such polymers synthesized from HCN formed by photolysis of methane and ammonia, the color observed depending on the concentration of HCN involved. Laboratory studies of these ubiquitous compounds point to the presence of polyamidine structures synthesized directly from hydrogen cyanide. These would be converted by water to polypeptides which can be further hydrolyzed to α-amino acids. Black polymers and multimers with conjugated ladder structures derived from HCN could also be formed and might well be the source of the many nitrogen heterocycles, adenine included, observed after pyrolysis. The dark brown color arising from the impacts of comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter might therefore be mainly caused by the presence of HCN polymers, whether originally present, deposited by the impactor or synthesized directly from HCN. Spectroscopic detection of these predicted macromolecules and their hydrolytic and pyrolytic by-products would strengthen significantly the hypothesis that cyanide polymerization is a preferred pathway for prebiotic and extraterrestrial chemistry.
