Resistant Depression

This chapter discusses reasons for and against euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide for patients with treatment-resistant depression or other psychiatric disorders. Although these actions may seem anathema to the goal of treating psychiatric patients in order to prevent suicide, there may be cases in which it would be permissible to bring about or assist in the death of a person with one of these disorders. The permissibility of these actions depends on four conditions. First, the patient must be competent enough to weigh the reasons for and against euthanasia and assisted suicide. Second, the patient must make an informed and persistent request for it. Third, the suffering the patient experiences from the disorder must be unbearable and interminable. Fourth, the disorder must be resistant to all indicated treatments given to the patient over many years. There must be a reasonable limit to the time a patient could be expected to wait for a possible treatment that might relieve symptoms. Any right to euthanasia or assisted suicide entails at most a permission and not an obligation for a physician to perform these actions.

The Honorary Board of the Indonesian Notary Association as the organ of the Indonesian Notary Association issues a regulation regarding the Fairness of the Deed Making Certificate per Notary for 20 deeds per day. Based on pre-research, there are still many notaries who do not know about the regulation in Padang. Why a Notary is prohibited from making a deed exceeding the fairness limit, what factors becomes the reasons for a Notary in Padang to make a deed exceeding the fairness limit and the legal consequences of a deed exceeding the fairness limit will be the topic of discussion in this paper. The research method used is a type of empirical juridical research and the nature of analytical descriptive research; data collection is done by using data in the form of primary material as primary data, supported by secondary and tertiary materials. The data obtained are then processed, analyzed, and interpreted qualitatively. Compliance is a virtue that moves people to act rationally in using what is fair, it is important for Notary to be given reasonable limits on the deeds that they can make per day so that the Notary does not exceed their physical ability to make daily deeds. The Law of Notary Position does not limit the number of deeds that can be made by the Notary per day, so that there are still notaries who make the deed exceed the reasonable limits set especially Fiduciary deed in Padang. Notary Deed that exceeds the fairness limit determined by the Honorary Board of Notary will not be degraded to privately-made deed, provided that what is done by Notary in making the deed is in accordance with the Law of Notary Position. The reasonable limit of making a daily deed issued by the Indonesian Notary Association Honorary Board should be included in the Minister Law or Regulation because basically the DKP.INI 1 regulation in 2017 only binds members of the association. Had the notary been expelled from the association, it would not have had any effect on his position.

This study is part of an on-going series of studies that relate to Alpine or Downhill Ski Boot Design. In current Alpine skiing, the ski boot is an integral part of the ski boot-binding system. One of the roles of the ski boot is to protect the ankle from excessive dorsiflexion during forward falls, as the ski boot is levered out of the heel binding. A boot designer needs to know what the ranges of dorsiflexion are for human ankles so that the allowable forward flex built into the ski boot will not exceed some specified level. That specified level should be such that a large part of the population will not exceed a safe level of dorsiflexion. The stiffening of the ankle by voluntary contraction of the muscles that control the ankle joint cannot be relied upon since the reaction time to contract the muscles will be greater than the time available to the skier under many circumstances. This study looks at the maximum voluntary dorsiflexion of a group of people (n=64) similar to a skiing population. The anatomical and biomechanical posture of the subjects was intended to represent typical skiing situations, therefore the subjects were measured in a weight bearing, flexed knee, upright posture. The age, gender, height, weight and skiing experience of the subjects was recorded as independent variables. The maximum voluntary dorsiflexion of the ankle was the dependent variable. 10 subjects were measured while the knee was kept in a straight or extended posture. The analysis indicates that there is no statistically significant relationship between dorsiflexion and any of the independent variables. The mean dorsiflexion was 42.7 degrees, the 5th% value was 28.5 and the 95th% was 56.7 degrees. The straight knee posture reduces the effective dorsiflexion by 8.5 degrees. Current standards permit as much as 40 to 45 degrees dorsiflexion. The implications are that current standards are excessive, a reasonable limit would be something under 30 degrees. Such a limit, or less, is consistent with the maximum dorsiflexion found in most current ski boots.

Judicial Reasoning

The object of this paper is to show that rules of evidence are often unworkable in s. 1 Canadian Charter cases. A survey reveals that courts tend to use these rules selectively when a party attempts to demonstrably justify a reasonable limit to a guaranteed right or freedom. A parallel is made with the Supreme Court of Canada's flexibility in admitting extrinsic material in constitutional references. American law is useful in that it establishes the key distinction between adjudicative facts and legislative facts. Rules of evidence apply only to the former category. Legislative facts correspond to facts needed for a s. 1 demonstration. It should be recognized in Canada that rules of evidence are inapplicable to such facts because of the specific purpose and importance of judicial reasoning in Charter cases.

For better performance and durability of tractor and machinery during field operations, it is necessary to select a proper matching machine/implement. The purpose of the study was to analyse the effect on parameters affecting to power requirement of power take-off (P.T.O) for rotary tiller, development of mathematical modelling and validation of the model under field conditions. Three different regression models (multiple linear regression, weighted least squares and stepwise regression) were used to predict the P.T.O power requirement. All three developed models were observed significant at 1% level with R2 value of 0.945, 0.984 and 0.940 for three models respectively. Correlation analysis was performed and all the parameters expressed positive correlation in relation to P.T.O power requirement. Speed of operation, moisture content, depth of cut, working width, peripheral velocity, number of blades and weight of rotary tiller were shown linear relation with P.T.O power requirement. L shaped blades consumed more power than the J and C shaped blades. Hard soil consumed more power followed by medium and light soil. The Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) ranged in reasonable limit for all three models. Based on higher R2 value, weighted least square regression model was found to be the best fit model for prediction of P.T.O power requirement of rotary tiller.

Real World Datasets

Today's social platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, continuously generate massive volumes of data. The resulting data streams exceed any reasonable limit for permanent storage, especially since data is often redundant, overlapping, sparse, and generally of low value. This calls for means to retain solely a small fraction of the data in an online manner. In this paper, we propose techniques to effectively decide which data to retain, such that the induced loss of information, the regret of neglecting certain data, is minimized. These techniques enable not only efficient processing of massive streaming data, but are also adaptive and address the dynamic nature of social media. Experiments on large-scale real-world datasets illustrate the feasibility of our approach in terms of both, runtime and information quality.

Particulate Reinforced

A simple and economical powder metallurgy forming process known as warm compaction was employed to fabricate a Cu-Ti3SiC2 particulate reinforced copper matrix composite for electro-friction purpose. Copper matrix composites reinforced with 5, 10, 15 mass% Cu coated Ti3SiC2 particulate were prepared by compacting the powder mixture with a pressure of 700 MPa at 145°C, and then sintered at 1000°C under cracked ammonia atmosphere for 60 minutes. Their density, hardness, tensile strength, elongation and electrical resistivity were studied. Result showed that within a reasonable limit, the addition of Ti3SiC2 particulate can increase the hardness of the composite without losing much of electrical conductivity. Sintered composite with 5 mass% Ti3SiC2 has an ultimate tensile strength of 182 MPa with an elongation of 10%, a hardness of HB 68 and a resistivity of 8.0×10-8Ωm. Compared with the samples using uncoated Ti3SiC2 particulate, the resistivity of the samples prepared by using the Cu coated Ti3SiC2 particulate have a better conductivity, but have a slightly lower mechanical property.

The Right

Faced with technological advances in the field of food preserving methods, Canadian consumers are concerned and call for legislative action to require food processing industries to clearly indicate "irradiated food" on product labels. The author questions the constitutionality of such action. After having attempted to define the meaning of the concept "freedom of expression " (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Subsection 2.b) to see if it includes commercial speech as well as the right to remain silent, the author sets out to determine whether such measures constitute a "reasonable limit that can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society."

Although the KNOU has successful history, it has been in a difficult situation, recently. By comparing the statistical figures of the university in the early 1990s and 2000s, we can delineate the followings as the major difficulties. First, there was a sharp decrease in the number of the applicants and students. Second, there was a continuous downward trend of the enrollment rate of the admitted students. Third, there were feminization and aging of the student population. Forth, the academic departments with students less than the quotas increased and the gaps in student numbers between the department widened. In terms of policy implications to the Open Universities, we propose the followings based on the experiences of the KNOU: we should maintain the number of students within a reasonable limit; the Open University needs to do its best to improve quality in education.

The work reported in this article developed a home automated system using voice activation. This is with a view to providing users complete control over electrical appliances using simple easy to remember voice commands on an Android mobile device. This work was implemented using the Atmega 328 microcontroller, Relays and a Wi-Fi shield. The human voice is first converted to text using a Natural language processing tool from the Android based application. Thereafter, the text is sent over the internet via the PubNub to the microcontroller. The Atmega 328 microcontroller was programmed on an Arduino using C programming language and the Android based application was developed using Android Software Development Kit. Results obtained from the testing show that the implemented system achieves the mean scores of 8, 7.6, and 7.2 for ease of use, learnability and effectiveness respectively justifying the fact that the system is capable of controlling appliances by changing their state (ON/OFF) from remote a location with a response time within the reasonable limit.
