The Government

This article aims to analyze Taiwan's government accountability for fishermen who are working in the waters of Nanfangao, Taiwan. Jeremy Bentham through his book "Introduction to the morals and legislation" states that legal duty is nurturing goodness and preventing evil, so the law should provide benefits or usability for the crowd (to serve Utili TY). The community as a basic component can sue the government if in other cases raises losses on the management of public facilities and infrastructure. It also relates to the Taiwan government's liability for legal protection, for which the state's responsibility has been regulated in the SCL (State Compensation Law) or the Taiwan State Compensation Act. As for that would be a case study of bridge collapse which is one of the disability management of state-owned public facilities that cause harm to the community in Taiwan. That article 2 SCL describes the country or Government of Taiwan shall be liable for any form of loss, property damage and loss of life arising from the management of the state's public facilities. This is a real example of the application of Taiwan's accountability to public services as a form of legal protection to the public. The concept of the responsibility in Indonesia is governed by article 1365 BW, that personal accountability is caused by individual events and legal acts. There is a comparative study of government and local Government accountability within the scope of administrative law..

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.
