Abstract:
Financial accounting standards (FASs) are frequently changed by formal amendment. Frequent amendment imposes costs upon the users of these standards. Research into amendments and the amendment process is strikingly absent. A better understanding of what is amended and how often such amendments occur may facilitate a reduction in the frequency of such amendments enabling a corresponding reduction in the associated costs. This study examines a sample of 567 amendments to FASs. Classical information retrieval techniques are applied to establish whether meaningfully related clusters of amendments can be identified. Identified clusters are compared to a descriptive taxonomy of change (FAS amendments) proposed by Fisher (2004) to determine whether the clusters fit within the framework of the taxonomy, thereby lending it support. The results demonstrate the ability of classical information retrieval techniques to identify significant clusters of amendments and extend the applicability of the techniques into the FAS domain. In addition, the identified clusters provide preliminary support for the proposed taxonomy of change. We propose future research using amendments inserted into the original pronouncements in order to provide the context for the amendments. The additional context should enhance the ability of latent semantic indexing to identify meaningful clusters and may provide stronger support for the taxonomy.

Abstract:
Metal(loid) soil pollution resulting from past and present mine activities is a serious environmental and health issues worldwide. Therefore, the remediation of those polluted areas has been a growing research interest over the last decades, especially the assisted phytoremediation. In this study, a pot experiment was set up, using a former mine technosol, highly polluted by As and Pb, to which biochar, activated carbon, or ochre was applied, alone or in combination to clover green amendment. Following amendment application, Populus x. canescens cuttings were planted. Results showed that all four amendments reduced soil acidity. However only the first three amendments immobilized As and Pb, while the green amendment drastically mobilized those two pollutants and none of the amendments improved plant growth. In conclusion, the association of clover green amendment to biochar, activated carbon, or ochre did not appear as an efficient remediation strategy in this case; although the aging of the amendments and degradation of the green amendment in the soil with time could have positive outcomes.

Abstract:
The author explores the power of the European Parliament (EP) in the co-operation procedure, using health and safety Directives as a sample. The measure of power is success of the amendment. Each amendment proposed by the EP was traced through the legislative process, coded according to its type proportion adopted and its reading was introduced in. The results demonstrate that the EP is an influential legislator, as a large proportion of EP amendments is incorporated into the final legislative text. As for the factors affecting the success of amendments the analysis finds that the role of the Commission is considerable, that less politically controversial amendments are more often accepted, but non-technical amendments have a high acceptance rate as well, and that amendments introduced in the second reading have a lesser chance of success than those proposed in the first reading.

Abstract:
In British Columbia (BC), Canada, there is increased attention on mines and their impacts on water resources. In BC, many proposed mines undergo provincial environmental assessment (EA), which predicts a mine’s risks and involves government oversight and public engagement. After approval, mines can apply for amendments that alter the project’s undertakings, including in ways that may harm water resources. We examined all amendment documents for mines undergoing provincial EA in BC from 2002 to 2020. Of the 23 approved mines, 15 (65%) requested a total of 49 amendments, of which 98% were approved. Most mines applied for their first amendment within 3 years of approval. We deemed 20 of the approved amendments (associated with 10 projects) likely to have negative impacts on water resources, including changes to effluent discharge, increased volume of water extraction, or degradation of fish habitat. Amendment applications and approval documents lacked specific, quantitative information to reinforce claims or decisions. We present the first known summary of EA amendments in any jurisdiction. Given that most mines in BC receive amendments, and many are related to water, we express concern that amendment processes increase risk to water resources without meeting standards of evidence and public scrutiny required by the regular EA process.

Abstract:
Soil compaction impedes plant growth by negatively affecting water infiltration, soil aeration, access to soil water and nutrients, and consequently restricts root development. Previous studies to alleviate such problems in rehabilitated mine soils using a single amendment material did not provide a long lasting solution. The aim of the study was to quantify the role of different amendments in alleviating selected soil hydraulic properties. Five single amendment materials and three different blends of amendments were mixed thoroughly with degraded mine soil in a 1:3 (amendment:soil) ratio and packed in columns. Two additional unamended soils with different bulk densities were included as benchmarks. In general, the application of amendments reduced bulk density (BD) by 4–20%, enhanced infiltration rate by 15–70%, increased porosity by 5–35% and increased plant available water (PAW) by 9–33% compared with the unamended soils. Between amendments, the blends of amendments reduced BD by 9–16%, enhanced infiltration rate by 17–59%, increased porosity by 6–32%, and PAW by 4–28% compared with single amendments. The study showed that a blend of amendments have better soil restoration capacity through improving porosity, infiltration rate and plant available water. A blend of amendments therefore has the potential to be a sustainable and an important component of a rehabilitation strategy for surface coal mined soils.

Abstract:
The anoxic conditions produced after the reflooding of acid sulphate soil (ASS) can reduce sulphate and/or Fe(III) with a consequent rise in pH. This study aimed to compare the effect of different amendments on ASS remediation and to analyse the effect on soil pH and exchangeable aluminium. Two mid-term incubation experiments were carried out to analyse the effect of amendments and water management on ASS. Soil samples were taken in the Santak Valley from four agricultural plots. During the first experiment, each soil sample was subject to two water management systems (flooded and non-flooded) and three amendment types (rice straw, manure, and lime). During the second experiment, the flooded condition was performed with three organic amendments (rice straw, manure, and biochar). In the first experiment, the amendments with organic matter (rice straw, and manure) increased the pH more under the flooded conditions, and manure was effective in reducing exchangeable aluminium (Alex) to 45% in the control soil. In the second experiment, all the organic amendments reduced soluble Al, but whereas straw increased soluble Fe, biochar diminished it. The amendment addition increased the soil pH and reduced Alex. The Alex reduction was greater for the stabler organic amendments: manure and biochar.

Abstract:
Harry Reid is often lauded by fellow Democrats as one of the most powerful Senate Majority leaders in modern history. One tactic that he used to usher in legislation was a parliamentary procedure known as “Filling the Amendment Tree.” Amendment trees are diagrams that demonstrate the amendment process for legislation, but Reid often limited the number of amendments that could be offered on a piece of legislation using this procedure. From the majority’s perspective, this procedure helps usher in legislation and protects vulnerable moderates from having to vote on controversial legislation. Still, others argue that the restrictive procedure limited the ability of moderate Democrats to distinguish themselves from their party leadership, making them vulnerable to attacks. In this article, I find that filling the amendment tree did not limit moderate Democrats from proposing amendments. In fact, although moderate Republicans shied away from the process of filing amendments in protest, there was no statistical relationship between ideology and the number of amendments filed for Democrats. Still, upon examination of voting data, the use of the procedure homogenized the voting records of moderate Democrats in the 112th and 113th Congresses. Furthermore, it forced moderate Republicans to vote more often with the Democrats in each of the Congresses in which Reid employed the procedure.

Abstract:
The year 2018 did not yield any breakthrough amendments to the Act on Museums. Those adopted were essentially meant to either adjust or complement the existing acts, and were adopted as the consequence of the amendments to other laws. However, the Act on Organizing and Running Cultural Activity, which actually stands as the systemic reference, particularly when it comes to museums operating as cultural institutions, was amended in 2018 to a greater extent. The widest range of the above amendments related to the organizational aspects of the operation of Polish cultural institutions. Firstly, the option of establishing cultural institutions with their seat on the territory of Poland was introduced; this on the grounds of contracts concluded by ministers and managers of central government offices with the organizations active within the area of the protection of national heritage and established in compliance with foreign law (Amendment of 12 April 2018 to the Law on Organizing and Running Cultural Activity). Additionally, the provisions defining competition for the appointment of the director of a cultural institution in compliance with the Amendment of 6 December 2018 to the above Act were substantially extended. The adjusting character in this context can be seen in the amendment to Article 16.4.3 of the Act on Organizing and Running Cultural Activity resulting from the new provisions on the representative trade union organization in the Trade Unions Act, resulting from the Act’s amendment of 5 July 2018. The second scope of the discussed amendments include those of financial character. This can be said both of the amendment of 12 April 2018, related to designated fund and foreseeing allocating them for tasks under state patronage, as well as of the Amendments of 8 April 2017 to the Act on Organizing and Running Cultural Activity in relation to awarding state aid from Norway Funds and EEA. As far as amendments to the Act on Museums in 2018 are concerned, these were reduced to two of very limitedrange ones, so-called terminology amendments of 3 August 2018 within the framework of the regulations introducing the Act on Higher Education and Science, limited to the new phrasing of Articles 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 of the Act on Museums, these dealing currently with postgraduate students, and the amendment of 28 January 2018 consisting in incorporating new Par. 6b in the Act on Museums opening the option for the Medal of the “Guardian of National Memorial Sites”.

Abstract:
Drained cultivated peatlands have been an essential agricultural resource for many years. To slow and reduce the degradation of these soils, which increases with drainage, the use of plant-based amendments (straw, wood chips, and biochar) has been proposed. Literature on the effects of such amendments in cultivated peatlands is scarce, and questions have been raised regarding the impact of this practice on nutrient cycling, particularly nitrogen (N) dynamics. By means of a six-month incubation experiment, this study assessed the effects of four plant-based amendments (biochar, a forest mix, willow, and miscanthus) on the release kinetics of water-soluble N pools (mineral and organic) in two histosols of differing degrees of decomposition (Haplosaprist and Haplohemist). The amendment rate was set at 15 Mg ha−1 on a dry weight basis. The N release kinetics were significantly impacted by soil type and amendment. Miscanthus and willow were the amendments that most reduced the release of soluble organic N (SON) and mineral N (minN). The addition of plant-based amendments reduced the total amount of released N pools during the incubation (cumulative N pools) by 50.3 to 355.2 mg kg−1, depending on the soil type, the N pool, and the type of amendment. A significant relationship was found between microbial biomass N, urease activity, and the cumulative N at the end of the incubation. The results showed that the input of plant-based amendments in cultivated peatland decreases N release, which could have a beneficial impact by decreasing N leaching; however, it could also restrict crop growth. Further research is needed to fully assess the impact of such amendments used in cultivated peatlands on N and on C fluxes at the soil–plant and soil–atmosphere interfaces to determine if they constitute a long-term solution for more sustainable agriculture.

Abstract:
AbstractNational courts, largely in South Asia and Latin America, have deemed unconstitutional certain constitutional amendments that have been enacted into law in their respective jurisdictions. In the article, this author explores the normative arguments for and against the judicial enforcement of implicit substantive constraints on formal constitutional changes. In essence, the author argues that, in determining whether judges should render the substance of constitutional amendments unconstitutional, one must examine how the impugned constitutional amendment was passed. In jurisdictions where a constitutional amendment can be passed by a dominant party/coalition without bipartisan support or the general support of the people, the courts may intervene, but only where the constitutional amendment(s) in question is/are so manifestly unreasonable that such a revision is akin to a substantial destruction of the pre-existing constitution. But no constitutional amendment should ever be judicially invalidated for violating any implied ‘basic features’ of the constitution when the amendment process is particularly cumbersome and requires significant bipartisan support and the general public’s express or implicit endorsement for the amendment to pass.

Full text
Abstract:
This research project stems from a single puzzle: how can constitutional amendments be unconstitutional? Adopting a combination of theoretical and comparative enquiries, this thesis establishes the nature and scope of constitutional amendment powers by focusing on the question of substantive limitations on the amendment power, looking at both their prevalence in practice and the conceptual coherence of the very idea of limitations to amendment powers. The thesis is composed of three parts. The first part is comparative. It examines substantive explicit and implicit limitations on constitutional amendment powers through manifold descriptions of a similar constitutional phenomenon across countries, demonstrating a comprehensive pattern of a constitutional behaviour. This process is theory-driven, and the second part of the thesis constructs a general theory of unamendability, which explains the nature and scope of amendment powers. The third part explains how judicial review of amendments is to be conceived in light of the theory of unamendability, and further assesses the possible objections to the theory of unamendability. The theory of unamendability identifies and develops a middle ground between constituent power and pure constituted power, a middle ground that is suggested by the French literature on ‘derived constituent power’. Undergirding the discussion, therefore, is a simple yet fundamental distinction between primary constituent (constitution-making) power and secondary constituent (constitution-amending) power. This distinction, understood in terms of an act of delegation of powers, enables the construction of a theory of the limited (explicitly or implicitly) scope of secondary constituent powers. This distinction is supplemented by a further one, between various shades of secondary constituent powers along a ‘spectrum’, a theoretical construct that links amendment procedures to limitations on amendment powers. The theory of unamendability explicates the limited nature of amendment powers and the practice of judicial review of amendments, thus clarifying the puzzle of unconstitutional constitutional amendments.

Abstract:
The application of animal manures to agricultural land as a soil organic amendment has been identified as an important route by which foodborne pathogens can enter the human food chain. Knowledge of the presence and incidence of key foodborne pathogens in manure is a vital first step in the establishment of sound and effective guidelines for management and prevention of contamination by manure. The work described in this thesis attempts to determine the persistence of pathogens when raw manures are directly applied to agricultural soils, and treated under thermophilic composting conditions. Results from this study indicated that the current conditions suggested by typical food safety guidelines are sufficient to reduce the population of enteric bacteria to levels that minimise risks associated with culturable cells in raw manure and finished compost. However, E. coli cells have the potential to enter a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state and are undetected by culture-based monitoring methods, thus providing a false impression of the innate risk of the product. Prc, bamB and tolA, which are responsible for stabilising the cell membrane, were found to be essential genes required for surviving heat treatment at 55°C. In addition, the presence of relA and oxyR suggested that E. coli may use the VBNC state as an adaptive strategy for long-term survival to withstand multiple stresses, including heat stress. Entering the VBNC state with a strengthen cell envelope may help E. coli to survive prolonged heating during standard composting conditions. Successful resuscitation from the VBNC state was achieved in the presence of cell-free supernatant from actively growing E. coli MG1655. These results underline the importance of considering VBNC cells when evaluating the sanitary effect of the composting process. VBNC cells in composts could facilitate the persistence of pathogens in manure-amended soil and thus pose a risk of microbial contamination of fresh produce.

Abstract:
From time to time, firms do repurchase their shares. An open market repurchase or a general tender offer does not have the effect of transfering wealth from one group of shareholders to another. This is in contrast to a privately negotiated premium repurchase from a single block holder where the remaining shareholders are excluded from participating in the offer. This type of targeted share repurchasing has been observed before - or in connection with - a takeover attempt and often has the effect of terminating the takeover attempt. Such a targeted share repurchase is commonly referred to as "greenmail". The price is usually at a premium over the prevailing market price and the seller will typically agree to abstain from acquiring any more of the company's voting stock. The non-participating shareholders stand to lose from both the premium paid out of corporate assets and the loss of a potential takeover offer premium. Recently, firms have been proposing to institute antigreenmail charter amendments that would prevent management from engaging in greenmail. Such a proposal may or may not be in the best interest of shareholders. This paper attempts to measure the economic significance of an antigreenmail proposal. The methodology chosen is that of an event-time study. The magnitude of abnormal returns is used to gauge its significance in relation to the day that the market learns of the antigreenmail charter amendment. The "stockholder interest hypothesis" predicts that the proposal is undertaken with the interest of shareholders in mind and thus stock prices should react positively to the announcement. However, the results obtained do not support that hypothesis. Stockholders seem to suffer a statistically significant decline in the value of their shares around the day when news of such proposals reach the market. This result is also inconsistent with previous empirical evidence on targeted repurchases and standstill agreements.

Abstract:
Gaseous movement in soil varies with soil's physicochemical properties and biochemical oxygen demand. Diffusivity patterns of four different types of soil (sand, silt, sandy silt, and clay) were examined and sand have shown the highest rate of diffusivity increase with the decreasing soil moisture content. Raw cow manure was then added to the sandy soil at four different rates 0, 20,40, and 80 Mg/ha. Depletion of soil oxygen and changes of carbon dioxide and ammonia for different concentrations were compared against the control. The oxygen depletion or carbon dioxide and ammonia accumulation reached the highest level at initial 16 hour followed by gradual reversal to a steady state. A significant amount of oxygen depletion was noticed with the different concentration levels. Oxygen depletion had shown an oscillatory behavior towards zero. Among different concentrations that of 40 Mg/ha showed the highest oscillatory behavior, but the shortest time was required to recover its original oxygen level. Thus the 40 Mg/ha application of organic matter is seems to be the optimum level for sandy soil.

Abstract:
In two pot experiments using two different crop ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and two flax (Linum usitatissimum) varieties Viola and Elise, ryegrass decreased in the pool of heavy metals compared with bare soil using EDTA as extractant. NH4+ decreased the soil pH, increased EDTA-extractable Zn and increased the Zn uptake. Lime addition increased the pH and depressed Zn uptake. The pool of extractable EDTA was not changed by growing both of the flax varieties. Lime increased EDTA-extractable Cu and Pb significantly, but decreased the Zn, and pH increased in this order NH4+NH4++lime>NH4+>NO3-. Ammonium decreased the pH more than other treatments. In agar using Bromocresol purple indicator NH4+ increased the pH in the rhizosphere of different plants. With two different initial pH treatments (7 and 3.2) the NH4_ decreased the pH in the rhizosphere at high initial pH 7 and maintained the low pH at initial pH 3.2 to 4 against the buffer capacity. At different initial pH 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 the ammonium decreased the high pH and maintained the low pH, but NO3- had no effect on the pH. Ammonium increased the toxicity of Zn due to pH decreases. There was no effect of both nitrogen sources NH4+ or NO3- on rhizosphere pH when applied as a foliar application. These indicated that the NH4+ can decrease the pH in the rhizosphere of plants and could play an important role in manipulation of the rhizosphere bioavailability of heavy metals. Toxicity of the three metals is Cu>Pb>Zn in this order and the crops tolerance is following this order pea>flax>barley. An agar-Hoagland nutrient solution contaminated with two soils, sewage treated soil (SBS) and galena soil (G), was used with flax as a test crop. The ammonium treatment lowered the pH in both soils, but with galena treated greater than SBS soil, this is attributed to the buffering capacity of the SBS soil. Averaged over all the concentrations the NF4+ treatments resulted in higher Zn shoot content that NO3- treatment, while in Cu shoot content nitrate was more than ammonium. The transfer factor of lead with ammonium treatment was greater than nitrate treatments at the 0.1 and 0.25% galena and the transfer factor of the Zn and Pb more than Cu in all treatments. At high initial pH 8 and high concentration of Zn and Cu barley grew well and this is attributed to immobilisation of Zn and Cu compared with low pH 5 and 6.5 where the barley plant did not survive. Ammonium lowered the high pH 8 and caused lower biomass production of barley than nitrate.

Abstract:
Cotton was grown in the fourth year of a soil amendment trial that evaluated 4 different soil amendments in 12 treatments on the Safford Agricultural Center. Yields varied from 1,659 to 1,392 pounds of lint per acre but none of the treatments yielded statistically different from the check. The higher yields were seen in the treatments with high and medium rates of soil sulfur, Boligrow, or gypsum, the lower yields were seen in the treatments with low rates of those amendments or with a biological amendment, but the conclusion of the study is that soil amendments did not significantly increase yields on that soil with its EC value of 2.3 dS/m. Crop and fiber quality measurements are reported here.

Abstract:
Constitutional amendment rules were once very simple in their design. A constitution codified a one-size-fits-all procedure for amendments to any part of the constitution, and that was it. Today, amendment rules are considerably more complex in their design and in the possibilities they offer constitutional designers for structuring their rules of constitutional change. This chapter examines the architecture of constitutional amendment, specifically the options available to constitutional designers to build their own rules of change. This chapter also weighs the strengths and weaknesses of these options and offers some guidance on when one choice may be better than another. This chapter compares single-track and multi-track pathways in constitutional amendment, single-subject and omnibus amendment bills, and procedures for amendment and dismemberment. This chapter also explains why codified unamendability is problematic for democracy and suggests an alternative design that can achieve the expressive function of unamendability while not denying the fundamental right of amendment. This chapter moreover examines the important relationship between time and change, namely how constitutional designers can use and manipulate time in their design of amendment rules. Finally, this chapter explores judicial review of constitutional amendments, beginning first by explaining eight strategies a court can use to invalidate an amendment and then elaborating several alternatives to the judicial invalidation of constitutional amendments. What results is a deep dive into the design of amendment rules. This chapter considers constitutions from around the globe.

Abstract:
The article presents the genesis and content of the amendments to the Protection of Public Order Act and the State Border Control Act, which were proposed by the opposition and adopted by the National Assembly at the end of September 2020 to limit the operation of the vigilant guards. The amendments prohibited and sanctioned the carrying or display of imitations of weapons and weapons-like objects to create the appearance that a person is performing the duties of officials or military personnel. They also prohibited and sanctioned the wearing of uniforms or clothing similar to the uniforms of officials or military personnel if a person, by his or her conduct or presence in a particular public or private place, creates the appearance of performing the duties of officials or military personnel. Time will tell how the police will implement the amendment and what the adopted amendments mean in practice.

Abstract:
Biochar application to agriculture soil has been recommended as a strategy to reduce increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and mitigate climate change. Significant suppression of soil CO2 emissions following biochar amendments has been demonstrated in short-term laboratory incubations by several authors, yet evidence from long-term field trials has been contradictory. This study investigates whether biochar addition to the soil could suppress soil CO2 emission under field conditions after 6�th years following amendment. CO2 emissions were not significantly suppressed with biochar addition, although they were generally low. Biochar amendment suppressed soil cumulative CO2 emissions by 30.59%. These findings demonstrate that biochar amendment has the potential to suppress soil CO2 emissions in corn crop system after 6�th years of biochar application. We conclude that the concentration of soil CO2 emissions were depended on soil temperature measured during study period.

Abstract:
Social security is a social insurance system that guarantees financial support to workers when they can no longer work, known as retirement. However, the 1988 Constitution established rights to social security without defining the means of financing, creating a gap. Over the years, due to this gap and other factors such as increased life expectancy, constitutional reforms through Constitutional Amendments were necessary. The process of approving a Constitutional Amendment is restricted and complex, requiring 3/5 of favorable votes in two rounds in each legislative house. Despite formal approval, an Amendment can be considered unconstitutional in the material aspect, as the power of constitutional reform is not absolute and must respect the principles and rules established by the original constituent legislator so as not to violate the Democratic Rule of Law established since 1988.
