Child Testimony

Testimony is an important method of proof of evidence used in courts.  The purpose of this paper is to examine previous studies and research related to testimony by children involved in sexual offences in courts. The focus of this paper would be on the provisions of laws relating to evidence given by a child as an accused and victim; and the procedures applicable in Malaysia based on the three existing courts i.e. Shariah Courts compared with Courts for Children and Courts for Sexual Offences Against Children i.e. to explore relevant issues on its admissibility for further review and reform. The outcome from this study will ascertain whether the current laws are adequate to protect the rights of child during trial.

Conventional SAD patterns as obtained in the TEM present difficulties for identification of materials such as asbestiform minerals, although diffraction data is considered to be an important method for making this purpose. The preferred orientation of the fibers and the spotty patterns that are obtained do not readily lend themselves to measurement of the integrated intensity values for each d-spacing, and even the d-spacings may be hard to determine precisely because the true center location for the broken rings requires estimation. We have implemented an automatic method for diffraction pattern measurement to overcome these problems. It automatically locates the center of patterns with high precision, measures the radius of each ring of spots in the pattern, and integrates the density of spots in that ring. The resulting spectrum of intensity vs. radius is then used just as a conventional X-ray diffractometer scan would be, to locate peaks and produce a list of d,I values suitable for search/match comparison to known or expected phases.

Sexual Offences

Paedophilia—a sexual preference for the body scheme of pre-pubescent children—is defined as a disorder within the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) of the World Health Organization as well as within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association. Contrary to popular belief, not all sex offenders who target children are paedophiles, and not all paedophiles commit sexual offences. But quite obviously paedophilia is an emotionally charged and controversial topic, which might be an explanation for putting it out of focus within the healthcare system. Mental health professionals are mainly (and worldwide) not well trained in terms of assessment methods and intervention techniques available to develop and implement effective policies and practices. This presents an obstacle for prevention, in that proactive strategies to protect children from child sexual abuse and sexual exploitation by online offences, such as the consumption or distribution of child abusive images (so-called child pornography), which emphasises the internationally relevant dimension of the issue. The article will address key concerns and questions in dealing with this clinically relevant population, offer insights into a primary prevention approach developed in Germany, and discuss the situation on a European level.

Unmarried Girl

In 1814 in a small Highland township an unmarried girl, ostracised by her neighbours, gave birth. The baby died. The legal precognition permits a forensic, gendered examination of the internal dynamics of rural communities and how they responded to threats to social cohesion. In the Scottish ‘parish state’ disciplining sexual offences was a matter for church discipline. This case is situated in the early nineteenth-century Gàidhealtachd where and when church institutions were less powerful than in the post-Reformation Lowlands, the focus of most previous research. The article shows that the formal social control of kirk discipline was only part of a complex of behavioural controls, most of which were deployed within and by communities. Indeed, Scottish communities and churches were deeply entwined in terms of personnel; shared sexual prohibitions; and in the use of shaming as a primary method of social control. While there was something of a ‘female community’, this was not unconditionally supportive of all women nor was it ranged against men or patriarchal structures.

Background: Electromagnetic detection is an important method of geophysical exploration. The transmitting system is an important part of the electromagnetic detection equipment. Methods: The general topologies of a transmitting system for EM instrument are analyzed. The basic principle of EM detection is interpreted. In order to improve the output power and give consideration to the dynamic performance, an electromagnetic transmitting system based on the tri-state boost converter is proposed in this paper. Results: The principle of the proposed transmitting system is analyzed. The topology of the proposed transmitting system is illustrated and the working modes of tri-state boost converter are given. Conclusion: The simulation model is established and the simulation experiment is carried out to verify the feasibility of the new electromagnetic transmitting system.
