Subject Prospects for Dagestan. Significance Dagestan appears to be winning the struggle with terrorists, guerrillas and mafia gangs; violence in the province subsided last year and the trend seems to be holding for the first half of 2015. Ramazan Abdulatipov, Dagestan's president, declared a new anti-terrorism strategy from the start of his tenure in January 2013. While continuing traditional law-enforcement, he laid out a broad plan of economic development and institutional reform to eliminate the root causes of instability. However, the investment needed for Abdulatipov's plan can only come from Russia's federal budget, which is under serious pressure. Impacts The Kremlin may decide that the Chechen approach of allowing the local elite wide autonomy is preferable to the current Dagestan model. The anti-corruption campaign may exacerbate tensions. Security structures in the Russian government will rise to positions of greater prominence should Dagestan's situation worsen.

Resilience Mechanisms

In this article the author submits that COVID-19 pandemic challenges could be utilised as an opportunity to reform government institutions to develop resilience measures that would potentially meet contemporary and future challenges. It will highlight that the current approach of institutions has failed to meet societal need. It focuses on developing countries, particularly the continent of Africa, drawing on results from a qualitative study of a justice institution of Uganda as a case study that explored how institutions coped to maintain societal relationship during the pandemic. Results suggested that, despite the pandemic challenges, institutions suffer epistemic issues that require critical examination for states to develop policies that would facilitate institutional reform to gain resilience mechanisms needed to meet contemporary and future societal challenges. A vulnerability theoretical framework is introduced and suggested as the remedy.

Grassland Research

New Zealand's grassland industries are entering a new phase of rapid technological and structural change. A complex mix of factors fuels this including institutional reform, Government science policy, growth in telecommunications, trade reform, and changes in consumer expectations and society's values towards the environment and new technology. Developing a common inspirational purpose, picking and investing in a 'best bet' future scenario, managing constraints to productivity gains, and increasing technology transfer and farmer learning are some of the challenges that those in the grassland sector must met.

Personal Fulfillment

Researchers have studied the experiences of female officers, but little is known about whether women, who are not yet officers, perceive future challenges and sex discrimination within a hypothetical law enforcement career. This study surveyed 387 male and female undergraduate students to compare perceptions and beliefs. Female students are less interested in a law enforcement career, perceive themselves as potentially less successful, and perceive less potential personal fulfillment. Women believe that current female officers receive less respect, acceptance, and opportunity. Perceptions of fulfillment and success significantly and positively impacted interest in a law enforcement career. In addition, fulfillment and success mediated the impact of sex on interest in a law enforcement career. These findings are important for recruiters because the sample comprises a target applicant pool that merits recruitment.

Detailed List

Particle analysis by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive x- ray analysis is one of the current methods used in crime laboratories to aid law enforcement in identifying individuals who have recently fired or handled a firearm. During the discharge of a firearm, the high pressure caused by the detonation of the cartridge materials forces a portion of the generated gases through leaks in the firing mechanism of the weapon. These gases contain residues of smokeless powder, primer mixture, and contributions from the projectile itself. The condensation of these hot gases form discrete, micrometer-sized particles, which can be collected, along with dry skin cells, salts, and other hand debris, from the hands of a shooter by a simple adhesive lift technique. The examination of the carbon-coated adhesive lifts consist of time consuming systematic searches for high contrast particles of spherical morphology with the characteristic elemental composition of antimony, barium and lead. A detailed list of the elemental compositions which match the criteria for gunshot residue are discussed in the Aerospace report.

Abstract The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has emerged as a critical regulator of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), which plays important roles in cardiovascular homeostasis by regulating vascular tone, fluid and electrolyte balance. ACE2 functions as a carboxymonopeptidase hydrolyzing the cleavage of a single C-terminal residue from Angiotensin-II (Ang-II), the key peptide hormone of RAS, to form Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), which binds to the G-protein–coupled Mas receptor and activates signaling pathways that counteract the pathways activated by Ang-II. ACE2 is expressed in a variety of tissues and overwhelming evidence substantiates the beneficial effects of enhancing ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis under many pathological conditions in these tissues in experimental models. This review will provide a succinct overview on current strategies to enhance ACE2 as therapeutic agent, and discuss limitations and future challenges. ACE2 also has other functions, such as acting as a co-factor for amino acid transport and being exploited by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses (SARS-CoVs) as cellular entry receptor, the implications of these functions in development of ACE2-based therapeutics will also be discussed.

Self Report Data

With reference to EJPA’s unique and broad scope, the current study analyzed the characteristics of the authors as well as the topics and research aims of the 69 empirical articles published in the years 2009–2010. Results revealed that more than one third of the articles were written by authors affiliated with more than one country. With reference to their research aims, an almost comparable number of articles (1) presented a new measure, (2) dealt with adaptations of measures, or (3) dealt with further research on existing measures. Analyses also revealed that most articles did not address any particular field of application. The second largest group was comprised of articles related to the clinical field, followed by the health-related field of application. The majority of all articles put their focus on investigating questionnaires or rating scales, and only a small number of articles investigated procedures classified as tests or properties of interviews. As to further characteristics of the method(s) used, a majority of EJPA contributions addressed self-report data. Results are discussed with reference to publication demands as well as the current and future challenges and demands of psychological assessment.
