CONSTITUTIONAL LAW--FIFTH AMENDMENT--PRIVILEGE AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION BY ADMISSION OF OCCUPATION AND OF KNOWLEDGE OF WHEREABOUTS OF A FUGITIVE WITNESS

Petitioner, who was known as an underworld character and racketeer, was subpoenaed before a federal grand jury investigating federal crime and rackets and was asked his occupation and business and whether he had seen, talked to, or knew the whereabouts of a certain person upon whom a subpoena had been issued but not served requiring such fugitive person to appear before a federal grand jury. He refused to answer on the ground of the constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. Petitioner was adjudged in contempt of court for refusal to answer the questions. The court of appeals affirmed the judgment and the Supreme Court granted certiorari. Held, judgment reversed. Petitioner could sense the peril of prosecution and therefore had the right to assert his constitutional privilege of refusing to answer. Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S. 479, 71 S.Ct. 814 (1951)

Pain and Epiphany: Julian of Norwich’ Revelations of Divine Love as pathography

This article discusses the medieval English mystic Julian of Norwich’s autobiographical text Revelations of Divine Love and the significance of physical pain in Julian’s holy visions. Applying Anne H. Hawkins’ idea of the ‘myth of rebirth’, the article argues that although Julian’s work is not a narrative about illness as such, it may nevertheless be read as a medieval pathography or as a representative for a pre-stage genre of the modern pathography. Moreover, by applying theories on the phenomenology of pain, it discusses whether we may learn something today from the way in which medieval religious writers found a theological meaning in pain and whether painful experiences may help develop positive character traits

Deltakernes opplevelser med viltkikkingsturisme

This dissertation contributes to the wildlife watching tourism literature by investigating which elements are important to participants’ overall experiences and how these elements can contribute to the desired outcomes and/or reduce the negative impacts of wildlife watching tourism activities. Moreover, wild animals are unpredictable as main attractions, and attempts to make encounters more predictable often have negative impacts on the animals involved. Certain exploitative practices such as food provisioning and habituation are also illegal in many areas. Therefore, the thesis emphasizes how other elements than the actual target species encounters can enhance overall wildlife watching experiences, and results provide suggestions on how providers can facilitate high quality experiences while reducing negative impacts on wildlife. To achieve these goals, the thesis investigates participants’ main motivations, whether participant characteristics influence overall wildlife watching tourism experiences, destination loyalty and pro-environmental behavioral intentions, as well as which elements are important to participants during wildlife watching tourism activities. These issues were mainly investigated at Norwegian wildlife watching tourism destinations, and the thesis is a novel contribution to the literature on Norwegian wildlife watching tourism. The mixed methods research approach was adopted, and data collection was based on the convergent research design, in which different but complementary data on the same topic are obtained to investigate a research topic. Empirical results are based on participants surveys, participant observations, travel party interviews and digital content analysis. This is a compilation thesis, which consists of a synopsis and four research articles. The synopsis provides a snapshot of the main findings of the four papers, frames them theoretically and discuss the overall findings as well as their practical implications and main theoretical contributions. Article 1 investigates participants’ main motivations to participate in wildlife watching tourism and links between motivational factors, overall satisfaction and destination loyalty. Article 2 and Article 3 investigate which elements are important to participants during wildlife watching tourism experiences when the target species is encountered and when the target species is not encountered. Finally, Article 4 contributes to the discussion on wildlife watching tourism’s potential to foster pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors among participants, by investigating the relationships between two of the concepts used to study this issue: The theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985) and involvement (Burke & Stets, 1999; Havitz & Dimanche, 1999), measured by centrality to life. Findings underline that there are several elements of importance to a wildlife watching tourism experience besides the actual target species encounter and that it is, in some cases, possible for participants to have positive experiences even in the absence of their target species. Elements that were important to participant experiences included the natural surroundings, encounters with other wildlife in the area, secondary more guaranteed side experiences and guiding, which was especially important both when the target species was encountered and when it was not encountered. Thus, findings indicate that providing high quality guiding should be a priority for wildlife watching tourism providers. The other supporting elements became more important to participants in cases when the target species was not encountered, indicating that they are especially important to consider when the target species is considered difficult to encounter. Another key priority is expectations management, as findings indicate that participants who are warned that encounters are not guaranteed are more likely to remain positive towards the wildlife watching activity provider in the absence of their target species. Additionally, findings indicate that participant characteristics influence overall experiences and at least two of the desired outcomes of wildlife watching tourism: destination loyalty and intentions to perform pro-environmental actions after joining a wildlife watching tourism activity. Therefore, wildlife watching tourism providers and managers of areas that are rich in wildlife should carefully consider which participants they would like to reach when they implement marketing and communication strategies.Denne doktoravhandlingen bidrar til litteraturen om viltkikkingsturisme gjennom å undersøke hvilke elementer som er viktige for deltakernes totalopplevelser, og hvordan disse elementene kan bidra til ønskede utfall og/eller redusere negative effekter av viltkikkingsaktiviteter. Ville dyr er uforutsigbare som hovedattraksjoner, og forsøk på å gjøre møter med ville dyr mer forutsigbare har ofte negativ innvirkning på dyrene som er involvert. Enkelte praksiser slik som bruk av åte eller habituering er også ulovlige i mange områder. Derfor fokuserer avhandlingen på hvordan andre elementer enn møtet med dyret man ønsker å se kan bidra til å forbedre totalopplevelsene til viltkikkingsturister, og resultatene inkluderer forslag til hvordan tilbydere kan legge til rette for gode opplevelser samtidig som de reduserer negative effekter på dyr. For å oppnå disse målene undersøker avhandlingen deltakernes hovedmotivasjon for å delta, hvorvidt deltakernes egne egenskaper påvirker opplevelsene deres, lojalitet til destinasjonen og intensjoner om å utføre miljøvennlige handlinger, samt hvilke elementer som er viktige for deltakere når de tar del i viltkikkingsaktiviteter. Disse temaene ble hovedsakelig undersøkt på norske destinasjoner for viltkikkingsturisme, og avhandlingen er et av de første studiene på norsk viltkikkingsturisme. Avhandlingen benyttet en kombinasjon av flere metoder, også kalt «mixed methods», og tok utgangspunkt i et konvergent forskningsdesign, hvor forskjellige men komplementære data om det samme temaet samles inn for å forstå et forskningsspørsmål eller tema. Funnene i avhandlingen er basert på spørreundersøkelser, deltakende observasjon, dybdeintervjuer og digital innholdsanalyse. Avhandlingen består av en kappe og fire frittstående artikler. Kappen inneholder en introduksjon til artiklene, teoretisk bakgrunn, sammendrag av de overordnede hovedfunnene, samt en diskusjon av de praktiske betydningene og teoretiske bidragene til avhandlingen. Artikkel 1 undersøker deltakernes hovedmotivasjon for å delta i viltkikkingsturisme og koblinger mellom motivasjonsfaktorer, fornøydhet og lojalitet til destinasjonen. Artikkel 2 og Artikkel 3 undersøker hvilke elementer som er viktige for deltakere når de deltar i viltkikkingsturisme, både når dyret de ønsker å se blir funnet og når det ikke blir funnet. Artikkel 4 bidrar til diskusjonen om viltkikkingsturismes potensial for å styrke intensjoner om å utføre miljøvennlige handlinger gjennom å undersøke koblinger mellom to konsepter som har blitt benyttet til å studere dette temaet: «The theory of planned behavior» (Ajzen, 1985) og «involvement» (Burke & Stets, 1999; Havitz & Dimanche, 1999), målt som «centrality to life». Funnene i avhandlingen understreker at det er flere elementer ved viltkikkingsopplevelser som er viktige ved siden av det å oppleve dyret man ønsker å se, og at det i noen tilfeller til og med er mulig for deltakerne å ha gode opplevelser selv om de ikke får se dette dyret. Andre viktige elementer ved opplevelsen inkluderer naturomgivelsene, møter med andre dyr i området, sekundære men mer garanterte sideopplevelser og guiding, som var spesielt viktig både når man fikk se dyret man ville se og når man ikke fikk se det. Dermed bør det å tilby guiding av høy kvalitet være et fokusområde for tilbydere av viltkikkingsturisme. De andre støtte-elementene ved opplevelsen ble viktigere for deltakere i tilfeller hvor de ikke fikk se dyret de hadde lyst til å se. Dette betyr at slike elementer er spesielt viktige å utvikle for opplevelser som er basert på arter som ansees som vanskelige å finne. Et annet viktig fokusområde er det å styre forventningene til deltakerne, da funnene viser at deltakere som fikk beskjed på forhånd om at det ikke var garantert at de fikk se dyret de ville se i mange tilfeller fortsatt var positive til tilbyderen sin da de ikke fikk det. Videre viser funnene i avhandlingen at deltakernes egne egenskaper også påvirker minst to ønskede utfall av viltkikkingsturisme: lojalitet til destinasjonen og intensjoner om å utføre miljøvennlige handlinger. Derfor bør tilbydere av viltkikkingsturisme og forvaltere av områder som har rikt dyreliv vurdere nøye hvilke deltakere de ønsker å nå når de iverksetter markedsføring og kommunikasjonsstrategier

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-DENATURALIZATION UNDER THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT OF 1952

On June 26th and 27th of 1952, the House of Representatives and the Senate, respectively, passed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 over the President\u27s veto. There are substantial differences between the denaturalization provisions of this new act and those of prior acts. Before this act, the denaturalization statute provided for the bringing of suits by the attorney general to revoke the judgment of naturalization and to cancel the certificate of naturalization on the ground of fraud or on the ground that naturalization had been illegally procured. The basic provision for denaturalization is now section 340, which provides for denaturalization on the ground that such order and certificate of naturalization were procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation .... Moreover, the new act adds presumptions that certain acts shall constitute concealment of a material fact or willful misrepresentation

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-DUE PROCESS-BURDEN OF PROVING INSANITY AS DEFENSE TO CRIME

Defendant was convicted of first degree murder after having pleaded insanity as a defense to the charge. He appealed to the Supreme Court of Oregon, alleging that the Oregon statute, which required an accused pleading insanity to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because it placed on him the burden of proving his inability to premeditate and intend the criminal act. The defendant relied in part on the fact that Oregon is the only state requiring insanity to be proved \u27\u27beyond a reasonable doubt, while other states require at most that the accused show it clearly. The Supreme Court of Oregon held that the statute did not violate the due process clause. On appeal to the United States Supreme Court, held, affirmed. The due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not limit a state\u27s determination of its policy with regard to the issue of insanity as a defense to crime. Leland v. Oregon, 343 U. S. 790, 72 S. Ct 1002 (1952)

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-ALIENS-POWER TO EXCLUDE AND DENY HEARING

In two similar cases, petitioners sought a writ of habeas corpus from federal district courts in order to obtain release from federal immigration authorities. Both were aliens who had been lawful permanent residents at the time they left the country. Mezei had allegedly gone abroad to visit his dying mother, and his return to the United States had been delayed by difficulty in securing an exit permit. Kwong Hai Chew had left the country to sail aboard a vessel of American registry, prior to which he had been screened by the United States Coast Guard. He had also served in the United States Merchant Marine with credit during World War II. On return to the United States, both petitioners were denied entry without a hearing, on the basis of information of a confidential nature, the disclosure of which would be prejudicial to the public interest. This action was taken pursuant to federal regulations duly prescribed. In the Kwong case, the district court denied the writ on the ground that, since every entry by an alien is to be deemed a new entry, the petitioner became subject to the exclusion provisions of the immigration laws. In the Mezei case, the district court granted the petition and authorized temporary admission after refusal of the federal authorities to disclose in camera any proof of the petitioner\u27s danger to the public safety, since the petitioner had already been held for 21 months and the government conceded that, despite every effort on both its part and on that of the petitioner, his entry into another country could not be secured. The decisions of the district courts were affirmed by the respective courts of appeals. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, both decisions reversed. Since he had been on a vessel of American registry, Kwong Hai Chew had not lost his status as a lawful permanent resident. The regulations under which he had been denied entry without a hearing were construed not to apply to lawful permanent residents, both on constitutional grounds and on the ground of statutory intent. Mezei, on the other hand, could no longer be considered as a lawful permanent resident, and since he thus became an alien seeking entry, he had no right to a hearing on the question of his exclusion, even though he was undeportable; he could be detained indefinitely if his removal could not be effected. Shaughnessy v. United States ex rel. Mezei, 345 U.S. 206, 73 S.Ct. 625 (1953); Kwong Hai Chew v. Colding, 344 U.S. 590, 73 S.Ct 472 (1953)

Voice Markers in Septuagint Greek in the Light of Hebrew Interference: A Corpus-Based Study on the Aorist System of the Book of Genesis*

In this paper, we examine the behaviour of so-called passive and middle aorist forms in the Greek reflected in the Genesis of the Septuagint. The Septuagint, and Biblical Greek more generally, displays a considerable aberration with respect to other varieties of Ancient Greek regarding the relative frequency of passive vis-à-vis middle aorist forms. Here, we explore this feature of Septuagint Greek in some detail, showing that there is a more or less consistent, binary system at this stage, where the passive aorist is the preferred expression of monoargumental detransitive clauses, while the middle primarily appears in biargumental detransitive clauses. A comparison with the original text in Biblical Hebrew suggests that its binyanim system, with systematic distinction between transitive and detransitivising stems, may have played a key role in accelerating this process, which was already present in earlier stages of Greek. This process resulted in a general ousting of the aorist middle, which essentially became a lexically restricted variant of the active voice

NEGLIGENCE-DUTY OF CARE-MANUFACTURER\u27S AND SUPPLIER\u27S LIABILITY TO ALLERGIC USER OF BEAUTY PREPARATION

Plaintiff contracted dermatitis from the use of a mixture of ammonium thioglycolate and potassium bromate which she had purchased from defendant manufacturer as a permanent wave lotion and fixative. The lower court held that since the injury was due to her allergy, the plaintiff did not have a cause of action. On appeal, held, affirmed. The manufacturer could not reasonably foresee the injurious effects of a combination of the chemicals. Although the evidence showed that one out of one thousand persons was allergic to ammonium thioglycolate, the plaintiff was injured only by the use of a combination of the two chemicals, the dangerous character of which the manufacturer had had no previous knowledge.
