Indeed, funding crises, corruption allegations and opposition from the Cambodian government in two of its latest investigations buffeted the Court as it prosecuted its first two cases. Nevertheless, the Court was viewed positively by some commentators, because of its innovative victim participation and civil party reparations schemes. However, the high take up rate and procedural complexities of civil party participation brought action by the Court to amend both schemes. The revised victim participation and reparations regimes were given effect in the ECCC's second case, the trial of Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan, the two most senior surviving leaders of the brutal Khmer Regime in Cambodia from 17 April 1975 to 6 January 1979. The purpose of this article is to examine the background to the Court's reparations ruling in Case 002/01 which enabled the civil parties to the criminal action to secure tangible moral and collective redress. It emphasises the participatory processes engaged throughout the trial to

Her recent books include Educational Research: Towards Sustainable Development, Research Methods for Adult Educators in Africa, and Indigenous Research Methodologies. Indigenous Research Methodologies is the first textbook that situates research in a larger, historical, cultural and global context and draws on Indigenous knowledge from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and Asia. Her research focuses on the development of research methodologies that are relevant, context specific and appropriate in African contexts and other culturally complex communities. She writes about and practices research methodologies that make visible the voices of those who continue to supper oppression and discrimination on the basis of sex, race/ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or social class.

Building on Palestinian experiences of social suffering, and honouring local idioms, the work of the Institute of Community and Public Health at Birzeit University, refuses to separate health from justice.

I discuss an alternative, which consists of demand estimation and the use of a model of postmerger conduct to simulate the competitive effects of a merger. I estimate a brand-level demand system for ready-to-eat cereal using supermarket scanner data and use the estimates to (1) recover marginal costs, (2) simulate postmerger price equilibria, and (3) compute welfare effects, under a variety of assumptions. The methodology is applied to five mergers, two of which occurred and for which I compare predicted to actual outcomes.

The Saramaka, a tribal group living in Suriname, accused the Surinamese government of allowing multi-national logging enterprises to harvest timber from traditional Saramaka territory. In addition to this violation of human rights, the government did not provide a plan following the destruction of Saramaka collective property. In response, the Association of Saramaka Authorities submitted a petition to the Inter-American Commission claiming the government of Suriname did not consider the socio-cultural character, and the subsistence and spiritual relationship the Saramaka have with their environmental heritage. The IACHR judgment1 arms the Saramaka ...

We present the result of a theoretical and calculational study of the possibility of placing the gain regions of VCSELs in external cavities to provide mode control over a larger area. A Fabry-Perot or stable resonator with very low loss is required. Several configurations are discussed and evaluated. A ring cavity is the most practical due to its relative lack of sensitivity to misalignment of the mirrors.

They were exciting times. This publication, which was later to become the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy, sought to contribute to the development of family therapy 'downunder'. And so it has. Thirty five years on, this special issue focuses on narrative family therapy approaches. Narrative approaches to therapy and community work derived from the Australian and New Zealand fields of family therapy. David Epston and Michael White first met at an Australian Family Therapy Conference. And yet, here in Australia at least, there have been some pretty significant ups and downs in the relationship between 'family therapy' and 'narrative therapy'. The invitation to Dulwich Centre to put together this special issue of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy was particularly significant to us and we would like to thank Glenn Larner for this. Once we received his invitation, we wrote to key narrative family therapists in different parts of the world and asked whether they would like to submit papers. There was a tremendous response and enthusiasm for this. I think this reflects the rich intertwined histories of family therapy and narrative approaches, and also a great wish for further collaborations and generative conversations across differences. We will look forward to hearing feedback from readers.

Case series with planned data collection. A tertiary urban university hospital. Normal adult volunteers without dysphagia, neurological disease, or previous surgery underwent VFSS. Studies were recorded and then reviewed for evidence of penetration or aspiration. The degree of penetration was assessed with the penetration-aspiration scale (PAS). The effect of age, bolus size, and consistency was evaluated. A total of 149 VFSS (596 swallows) were reviewed. The mean age of the cohort was 57 years (+/-19 years); 56 percent were female. Only one (0.6%) individual aspirated on VFSS. Seventeen (11.4%) individuals demonstrated penetration. The mean PAS for the entire cohort was 1.17 (+/-0.66). Prevalence of penetration by swallow was 2.85 percent (17/596). Prevalence of penetration was 9.3 percent in elderly individuals aged >65 years and 14.3 pe...

The use of thickening agents to alter bolus rheology is particularly commonplace; however, the precise effects of these alterations on swallowing remain uncertain. The purpose of our study, a prospective, double-blind clinical trial (Level 1b), was to investigate the effects of viscosity on aspiration. One hundred patients with dysphagia were prospectively evaluated with fluoroscopic swallow studies performed across three standardized and randomized conditions: thin liquid barium (THIN), liquid barium thickened with a starch-based agent (STARCH), and liquid barium thickened with a gum-based agent (GUM). Outcome measures included the prevalence of aspiration and score on the Penetration-Aspiration Scale. A total of 23 out of 100 patients exhibited 56 episodes of aspiration. Twenty patients aspirated on THIN, 15 on STARCH, and 11 on GUM bolus conditions (P<0.05, thin vs gum). There we...

Sideband suppression and frequency control with high extraction efficiency and single line, transform limited operation were demonstrated. The rwmlts of our LANL experiments and computer simulations showed that for very high gain applications, the first-order sideband is" completely suppressed, but the laser : ain is so strong that on about pass 300 the sideband at the second-order or next free spectral range of the PSM appears. This second-order sideband may be suppressed by designing a PSM with grooves having two alternating depths, one chosen to suppress the first-order sideband, and the other, the second-order sideband.
