The point at which the liberty of the subject can be subject to interference by force of the law is a critical issue and one reliant on the integrity of judicial oversight. Focusing on the start of the twentieth century, this chapter addresses the discontinuities in the then existing rules relating to the interrogation of suspected persons (embodied by the Judges’ Rules of 1912, whose obscure origins are discussed) and the divergent responses of different police forces to the cautioning and questioning process. From this it explores how the need for closer formal regulation arose and the role of Home Office officials (the very same as those involved in the Adolph Beck case) in drafting the first revision of the Judges’ Rules in 1918 which were to remain in force for almost fifty years. These inapt and inexpertly drafted Rules thereafter laid the foundations for policing regulation in jurisdictions around the world.

"The study focuses on digitization and home office. The author indicates the circumstances that mean serious challenges to both the legislator and the law enforcer. Owing to the digital revolution, the emergence and spread of the electronic means of communication, we are witnessing significant economic and social changes. New types of legal relationships are emerging, trade is being restructured, and we can perceive a clear shift in the centre of gravity towards the virtual space. The question is how these processes affect the world of work."

<span>The design of a first year course with enrolments of about 400 students which is delivered using information technology via the Internet or Intranet is reviewed. The course is composed of a variety of information technology based applications including course materials, bulletin boards, email, quizzes, access to the World Wide Web and multimedia packages linked together using a single Internet browser interface. Access statistics through the entire course were collected hourly over the sixteen weeks of semester and separated on the basis of gender and final grade. Statistical analysis is presented which shows that different groups of students access the course in different ways. Performance in the course is statistically related to the number of times the student accesses the package. We find no evidence that males are advantaged or disadvantaged compared to females through the use of information technology although females appear to use the communications part of the course more than males. Based on the access statistics, we make recommendations on the components which seem to be well received by students and we note some components which will require more careful integration into a teaching program. Overall, the delivery of a first year course via information technology works well provided the components are carefully integrated into the course framework.</span>

Home office workspaces have significantly grown in residential sectors throughout the world. Nowadays, many people worldwide are forced to work from their housing units due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the existing residential buildings were only designed for living activities, not for desk-related tasks. This is more critical in tropical regions with the overabundance of indoor daylight and lack of external shadings on existing buildings. Despite the limitations for modifying the external facades, interior retrofit plays a major role in improving visual environments. Daylighting performances of various configurations, including internal shading devices, interior surfaces, and window films, were experimented with the Radiance-IES program. A field measurement of daylight was conducted in a home office room under the Malaysian tropical sky to validate the simulated results. This research proved that the existing residential buildings in the tropical climates had poor daylighting performance where the mean indoor illuminance could be over 10,000 lx. The combination of a light shelf, a partial blind, and the tinted window film could effectively 85% alleviate the excessive indoor daylight level. This configuration recorded a significant improvement in Useful Daylight Zone (around 300%), and Daylight Glare Probability was considerably reduced from 0.46 to 0.34.

AbstractThis article analyses the curious development and subsequent refinement of the Photo-FIT system for the identification of criminal suspects, used by police forces around the world from the 1970s. Situating Photo-FIT in a succession of other technologies of identification, it demonstrates that, far from representing the onward march of science and technology (and the way in which both were harnessed to the power of the state in the twentieth century), Photo-FIT was the brainchild of an idiosyncratic entrepreneur wedded to increasingly outmoded notions of physiognomy. Its adoption by the Home Office was primarily determined by the particular context of the later 1960s, and its continued use owed more to vested interest and energetic promotion than to scientific underpinnings or proven efficacy. It did, however, in the longer term, provide the impetus for the development of a new sub-field of psychology and pave the way for the development of increasingly sophisticated facial identification technologies still used today. Overall, the article demonstrates the long persistence of physiognomic thinking in twentieth-century Britain, the way in which new technology is socially constructed, and the persuasive power of ‘pseudo-science’.


This chapter tries to explain the procedural aspects of the copyright infringement investigation with special attention to the Abstraction – Filtration – Comparison test. Firstly, it situates the AFC test properly in the field (and also in the process) of copyright infringement of software program. Secondly, the chapter concentrates on the basic copyright doctrines and explores how they have been properly incorporated in the 3-phase procedure of the AFC test. The abstraction and the exclusion policies of the test are also explained in the context of the copyright policies of the United States. The chapter goes on to explain the scope of customization and induction of this test into the judiciaries in the rest of the world. This chapter concludes by pointing out the limitations of and further scope for research in this test.

The Home Office in January 1977 invited submissions for inclusion in the United Kingdom proposals to the World Administrative Radio Conference 1979 (WARC 1979.) Prior to that, in August 1976 in Boston, U.S.A., the member Institutes of the International Association of Institutes of Navigation had agreed to exchange views on matters of concern to the world's navigational community which in particular might be considered by WARC. It was envisaged that any approach by the various national Institutes would be through their own administrations.

A survey was recently achieved, on behalf of the Commission of the European Communities, to scrutinise the state-of-the-art of landfill gas control and exploitation. The survey is divided into 8 parts After an Executive Summary, part I deals with the environmental impact of landfill gas and details 166 reported cases of landfill gas damages in uncontrolled landfills. The second one details the process of landfill gas generation and the technology of landfill gas control by its exploitation. The third part surveys the methodologies for monitoring landfill gas emissions for landfill gas potential evaluation and for safety. The fourth part deals with policies and legal aspects of landfill gas in the European Community and in the World. The fifth part estimates landfill gas potentials and overviews the economics of landfill gas control and exploitation, notably by the exhaustive assessment of 6 case studies. The sixth part gives the status of landfill gas exploitation in the European Community and in the World. The two final parts list utilities and references.
