Research Questions. Studies on Indigenous heritage collections in the Caribbean are scarce. Literature that specifically addresses connections between collecting institutions and communities is even more limited. To a large extent, the existing literature is descriptive and focuses on overviews of the nature of collections. None of the available studies on Indigenous heritage institutions in the Dominican Republic can attest to having improved ties with their communities. In this research context, framed within the global scope of the transdisciplinary Nexus 1492 project, furthering this underdeveloped area of study in the Dominican Republic will help contribute to the body of knowledge on heritage management in the Caribbean and on contemporary Dominican culture. The research questions that guide this qualitative study explore how Indigenous heritage institutions, both public and private, can facilitate community connections to their collections: RQ1). What is the scope of archaeological collections in the Dominican Republic in terms of where they are located, who has custody of them, who uses them, and what information about them is available to the public? RQ2). How do current Dominican heritage laws hinder or xxxxxx community access to archaeological collections? RQ3). How do communities access Dominican Indigenous heritage collections?
Research Questions. The demand for censoring or banning a publication with a religious subject can be based on different grounds: feeling of offense, hate, vilification, discrimination, or threat experienced by individuals belonging to the target religious groups, or the feeling of any disruption or interruption in the enjoyment of the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion; it can also occur when government on its own decides to prohibit certain types of speech on the pretext that such speech may hurt sentiments and pose a threat to public order (tools like censorship of books, banning of books under Customs Act etc.). In such controversies it becomes the responsibility of the state to balance contradictory claims and at the same time to ensure that the fundamental rights of citizens are protected. Further, any such case is open to scrutiny by the judiciary, whereby a rational assessment of the executive’s action and its legality is undertaken. The response, both from government and the judiciary, is largely based on their interpretations of the provisions laid down under the Constitution, as well as other legal resources. As legal scholars have pointed out, the executive often takes the easy course by either banning the publication or arresting the accused writer/publisher, citing the threat of public disorder.18 As a result, it falls upon the judiciary to play the role of defender of the right to freedom of speech and expression.
Research Questions. The first group of research questions is hence related to the allocation and transfer of cases among hearing locations: - How are cases allocated to the various hearing locations within a judicial district? Is there a possibility for parties or for court managers to choose the hearing location for a case (within or outside the court district)? And if yes, to what extent and how is this process supported by ICT? The experiences and approaches of the reform efforts aimed at ensuring a balanced distribution of cases in Latvia will provide interesting perspectives on these issues.Not all court cases require judicial work. In some cases, what is really required are just the authority of the court and its capacity to issue enforceable decisions. It may be useful for Spain, while reorganising the work of all of its first instance courts, to consider the possibility to introduce, after looking at good practices, mechanisms that may take out from judges’ workload all repetitive cases with little or no judicial content. New working processes can be designed to automate as much as possible the treatment of these cases. Under certain circumstances, it may be convenient even to create an ad-hoc court, whose greater inflow of cases may both justify and simplify the adoption of more sophisticated technological solutions.
Research Questions. The intention of this thesis was to take those thoughts further and examine what impact courts (by which is meant agreed dispute resolution mechanisms, which include so-called ‘informal systems’) have had on insurgency and counterinsurgency. As will be seen, such systems range from the shuras of Pashtun Afghanistan or the xeer of the Somali lands, involving a few men sitting under a tree, to the highly technical supreme courts in well- developed societies such as the United Kingdom and the United States. While the focus is on insurgencies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, reference will be made to events further back in the past, for example the United States Civil War and the English Civil War of the 1640s.
Research Questions. The need for this research has risen from a design rule as specified in Xxxxxxxx et al. (2010). In this research, a control framework for maintenance of spare parts is given for an environ- ment like that of NedTrain. In this framework, it is stipulated that the interface agreement between inventory control and a repair shop should be based on lead-times. At NedTrain, there is an R&D program that is dealing with maintenance development. Currently at Xxx- Train, a Min-max control mechanism is used. The steering committee of the maintenance development research program at NedTrain is wondering which interface agreement has a better performance under which conditions. One of the aims of this research is to com- pare both interface agreement with related different control mechanisms and decide which interface agreement holds promise for further implementation. Before the two interface agreements can be compared, for both agreements, close to op- timal values for the turn-around stock, minimum level or threshold has to be determined. This has to be done because otherwise the comparison is not fair. Obtaining the optimal configuration of the Min-max interface agreement is also very useful for NedTrain, because when doing this, it can be seen whether it is possible to improve the perfromance of the currently used Min-max interface agreement. This is the second aim of this research. These aims lead to the following research questions:
1. Can the performance of the fill rate and other KPIs of interest, of the currently used Min-max interface agreement be improved, by changing the values of the turn-around stock and the minimum level?
2. Which interface agreement holds more promise for further implementation, the Min-max interface agreement or the Lead-time interface agreement?
3. In the upper row there is the As-Is situation. In the As-Is situation, interface agreements are compared using the current values for the turn-around stock and minimum level. In case of the Lead-time interface agreement for the threshold, the turn- around stock minus the minimum level is used. It is tested which interface agreement performs better under the current settings, indicated with the arrow in the upper row. The lower row of the matrix is the To-be Situation. In this situation for both interface agreement, an optimization model to determine the turn-around stock and the minimum levels (threshold) is used. Two other aspects are compared. First, the performance differ- Min−max inter...
