Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms, Quilici v. Village of Morton Grove

From the colonial firelock to today\u27s inexpensive handgun, the United States has toiled over the right to keep and bear arms. In 1981, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois addressed this recurring issue in Quilici v. Village of Morton Grove. The arguments espoused in Quilici consisted of both traditional and novel hypotheses on this uncertain subject. Delivered within an atmosphere of renewed concern over the use and possession of firearms, the arguments in Quilici provide insight into the reasoning on both sides of the gun-control issue. The following note reviews the potential ramifications of the decision

Linguagens, integração e culturas migrantes: construindo estratégias de acolhimento a partir da iniciação científica

Anais do V Encontro de Iniciação Científica e I Encontro Anual de Iniciação ao Desenvolvimento Tecnológico e Inovação – EICTI 2016 - 05 e 07 de outubro de 2016 – Sessão Linguística, Letras e ArtesRecobrando sua condição antiga de “terra de promessas”, o Brasil, ao longo das últimas décadas, tem recebido um crescente número de migrantes, especialmente vindos de outros países latino-americanos, de inúmeras nações africanas e de países do oriente médio atingidos por conflitos, como a Síria. Do mesmo modo, o país se transformou em destino para um extenso número de haitianos, desterritorializados pela grande catástrofe natural de 2010, pela degradação econômica oriunda das reincidentes investidas coloniais e pós-coloniais e pela ingerência das nações ocidentais. Esse novo contexto tem exigido, principalmente a partir da crise humanitária na fronteira norte, uma revisão profunda das políticas migratórias, até então delimitadas pela ótica ditatorial de segurança nacional, para um modelo orientado a partir do conceito dos direitos humanos. Além disso, ao passo que tais comunidades confluem e passam a interagir na sociedade brasileira, torna-se cada vez mais clara a precariedade de políticas públicas de inserção produtiva, social e cultural para essas pessoas. Entendendo o princípio da Universidade Pública de construir e compartilhar conhecimentos, este projeto de pesquisa tem o objetivo de investigar políticas linguísticas e culturais de acolhimento destinadas às comunidades migrantes a partir do espaço das IES. A partir do trânsito disciplinar com áreas como a sociologia, antropologia, estudos da linguagem e estudos culturais, a pesquisa procura levantar dados sobre a conjuntura migratória haitiana no Estado do Paraná e observar ações empreendidas por programas da IES da região orientados a essas comunidades, como proposição de políticas linguísticas de acolhimento e programas de ensino do português brasileiro, bem como o estabelecimento de redes de integração cidadã e promoção de diálogos culturais entre as comunidades migrantes e as locais

Implementation of education for sustainable development in geography subjects among trainee teachers

Education for sustainable development (ESD) is a truly positive measure. This study was unique in that it made students aware of the positive qualities. Therefore, ESD is crucial to be inculcated among students. If the students are provided with in-depth knowledge related to sustainable development, hence it is not impossible for the sustainable development concept to come true. The study was conducted at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Perak, Malaysia. The respondents involved are geography students who have undergone teacher training in semester 7 and semester 8. This study also focused on the level of knowledge and the level of mastery among trainee teachers on ESD. In addition, this study was carried out for the trainee teachers to obtain the data the on the implementation of ESD values in teaching and learning (T&L) of geography subjects via a survey. Result showed that T&L of geography subjects shall be interesting and challenging so that students can enjoy fun learning. Teachers need to be smart in finding approaches to be tailored to the curriculum, especially in the geography subjects

Alur Kerja Video Editor di Divisi News Production Non-Bulletin Metro TV

Metro TV merupakan salah satu media yang mengalami digitalisasi media. Konvergensi ke media digital tidak terlepas dari internet yang kemudian melahirkan jurnalisme daring. Jurnalisme daring merupakan "generasi baru" dalam dunia jurnalistik sehabis munculnya jurnalisme konvensional, seperti jurnalisme media cetak dan jurnalisme media penyiaran (Romli, 2018, p. 15). Metro TV melakukan digitalisasi dengan membuat situs web metrotvnews.com dan juga memiliki berbagai media sosial, termasuk Instagram dengan nama pengguna @metrotv. Kebanyakan konten yang diunggah dalam akun Instagram Metro TV merupakan produk berita video.

Limits on the production of scalar leptoquarks from Z (0) decays at LEP

A search has been made for pairs and for single production of scalar leptoquarks of the first and second generations using a data sample of 392000 Z0 decays from the DELPHI detector at LEP 1. No signal was found and limits on the leptoquark mass, production cross section and branching ratio were set. A mass limit at 95% confidence level of 45.5 GeV/c2 was obtained for leptoquark pair production. The search for the production of a single leptoquark probed the mass region above this limit and its results exclude first and second generation leptoquarks D0 with masses below 65 GeV/c2 and 73 GeV/c2 respectively, at 95% confidence level, assuming that the D0lq Yukawa coupling alpha(lambda) is equal to the electromagnetic one. An upper limit is also given on the coupling alpha(lambda) as a function of the leptoquark mass m(D0)

Contribution à l'étude du procédé de croissance de diamant par dépôt chimique en phase vapeur assisté par plasma micro-onde : contrôles optiques in situ et caractérisation des films élaborés

Non disponible / Not availableLes objectifs de ce travail de thèse étaient l'étude et le contrôle du procédé de croissance de diamant par dépôt chimique en phase vapeur assisté par plasma micro-onde (MPACVD). Il s'agissait d'optimiser les conditions de fonctionnement d'un réacteur de dépôt de conception originale, de développer et de mettre en oeuvre des techniques d'analyse optique in situ du plasma et de la surface, et d'étudier et de maîtriser les mécanismes de nucléation et de croissance du diamant, afin d'obtenir des films présentant les propriétés requises en vue de leur intégration dans des dispositifs à ondes acoustiques de surface (SAW), à savoir une épaisseur suffisante, une très faible rugosité et une résistance électrique de surface élevée. Les conditions de fonctionnement du réacteur de synthèse ont été améliorées et contrôlées, et un système de surveillance électronique permettant de sécuriser son utilisation a été mis au point. Une méthode d'analyse optique in situ des surfaces en temps réel par pyrométrie interferentielle (IP), reposant sur la modélisation des variations d'émissivité du système film/substrat durant la synthèse, a été développée. Elle rend possible l'estimation de certains paramètres physiques et cinétiques : indice de réfraction complexe du film et du substrat, temps d'incubation, température réelle du système et vitesse de croissance du film. Le dispositif concu pour l'étude du plasma est un système d'analyse par spectroscopie optique d'émission résolue dans l'espace (SROES) qui permet de réaliser des profils radiaux et axiaux ou des cartographies 2D de l'intensité d'émission des espèces radiatives caractéristiques du plasma. Des études préliminaires ont permis d'élaborer des protocoles de traitements mécanique et chimiqu
