If white authors speak on behalf of dark-skinned characters in their texts, African-American critics and writers often accuse them of attempting cultural appropriation. In this case, according to African-Americans, white people describe them only stereotypically and thus deprive them of a voice. Despite this, such attempts continue. In 2009, K. Stockett released her novel "The Help", which is narrated by three women, including two dark-skinned maids (Aibileen Clark and Minny Jackson). These characters tell about their experiences working for white masters in the early 1960s, in the city of Jackson, Mississippi, during a time of severe racial segregation. Newly arising after every release of such literary or film texts (just remember the recent film "Green book"), the ongoing controversy over cultural appropriation determines the relevance of addressing this topic. K. Stockett presents these characters as anti-racism fighters, with the word as their main weapon. Minny bluntly tells her employers what she thinks of them, which is in line with how African-American authors describe in their texts a way of speaking boldly to those you obey, called "to sass". On the other hand, Aibileen tries not to show her attitude to white people and, in conversations with them, encodes the true content of her statements as much as possible, in fact using the practice of "signifying", also characteristic of African-American culture: persuading other maids to tell a white girl about the relationship between masters and servants in their city, in order for it to be published. She deems the written preservation of an ethnic group history as a way to fight against racism. The author comes to the conclusion that K. Stockett follows, consciously or not, the traditions of African-American literature, in which many dark-skinned characters appear as tricksters.

Following the July 22, 2011, Oslo bombing and shootings at the Utøya youth camp Norway became embroiled in a conflict over commemorative ethics. The memorial initially selected in an international contest, Memory Wound by Jonas Dahlgren, drew opposition from victims' families and local residents for its severe impact on the natural landscape. Plans for installation were cancelled in 2017. This controversy, we submit, must be contextualized in relation to the Norwegian justice system's handling of Anders Breivik, the perpetrator whose criminal proceedings were kept relatively secluded. We demonstrate how the design of Memory Wound and the suppression of Breivik's publicity reflect a symbolic logic traceable to a national imaginary of Norwegian exceptionalism. By interpretively aligning the use of negative space in Memory Wound with the muting of Breivik as a media event, we investigate the prescriptive force of symbols to inculcate world views. Specifically, we attend to the foreclosure of "prosthetic memory," which through media circulation allows people to engage with memory that is not primarily theirs. We acknowledge the possibility of empathy across difference that Landsberg ascribes to prosthetic memory; however, we insist that the circumstances under which solidarity might be rejected must be considered. With a dual case study, we offer a perspective on enduring assumptions about cultural identity and the rise of rightwing extremism in Northern Europe.

Seiring dengan adanya roda reformasi yang menggilas juga pada sektor pemerintahan (khususnya di daerah), maka UU Nomor 22 tahun 1974 yang selama ini menjadi pedoman telah diubah dengan UU Nomor 22 tahun 1999 yang dianggap lebih aspiratif dan demokratis meskipun sedikit cenderung liberal. Namun demikian, pergantian atau perubahan UU belum merupakan jawaban atas segala permasalahan yang terjadi selama ini, sehingga diperlukan penafsiran yang mendalam dan komprehensif agar dapat dilaksanakan secara efektif dan efisien. Untuk itu, Perwakilan LAN Jawa Barat dan Biro Otonomi Daerah Setwilda Tingkat Jawa Barat mencoba menggali interpretasi, terutama pada aspek kewenangan baik pada tingkat Provinsi maupun Kabupaten/Kota.

These tests, which showed that significant errors can result from RFI, demonstrated the need for system designs which minimize radio-frequency (r.f.) coupling to the high impedance elements of the radiation detector and circuitry. RFI in the radiation recorder tested caused an increase in the recycling period of 20 percent or more under some conditions. This increase was attributed to the recharging of the radiation detector by the r.f. through the diode action of the electrometer tube. Also, it was found that the effect of bandwidth limitation on the transmitted pulse output of the recorder was small and that the system accuracy was not significantly lowered. However, system noise reduced reliability at very low pulse repetition rates. The test results showed that potential RFI problems exist in radiac-telemetry systems. Most of these problems can be met satisfactorily through the use of common r.f. elimination techniques. ; With the need for radiological data for military purposes and public safety, radio telemetry may be used extensively in the transmission of radiological information. The use of radio telemetry in nuclear radiation measuring systems introduces potential radio-frequency interference (RFI) problems in the detector elements of the system, due to the telemetry transmitter, and in the reception process, due to noise. Also, data accuracy may be reduced by the bandwidth limitation of the telemetry system. In an effort to better understand the effects of RFI and bandwidth limitation on data accuracy and reliability, a number of qualitative tests were made with an existing recycling electrometer type of radiation recorder coupled to a standard telemetry system. ; "8 February 1962." ; Ntis: ad273452. ; Accession No.: 57315. ; Includes bibliographical references (pages 7-8). ; These tests, which showed that significant errors can result from RFI, demonstrated the need for system designs which minimize radio-frequency (r.f.) coupling to the high impedance elements of the radiation detector and circuitry.
