Palau

For a small country setting like Palau, the independent of their Judiciary is always going to be a challenge. Using the case study of Hatohobei State with only 25 people living on it. It has its own constitution, a 9 member legislator, a Governor, a Lieutenant Governor, traditional leader, legislative clerk, a treasurer, an Island Projects Supervisor and two island maintenance officials. Whether the Hatohobei state court would remain impartial when one family members or close relatives turn up for a court hearing would be a challenge given its strong sociocultural environment. Could this western model court system structure be still effective in this case? The introduction of their traditional peacemaking process might work better for them, and to the extent only major disputes may then refer to this modern court system. Also, Palau has been regarded as one of the top premier diving destination with unspoiled beauty and rich marine environment . Similar to any small island country, it has its own legal system that determine to increase foreign investment while simultaneously preserving its cultural and economic heritage from over…

Rising sea levels will increase the frequency or likelihood of extreme sea level events and resultant flooding. The risks from sea level rise are not confined to the coast itself. In many cases flooding may impact areas some distance from the sea for example along estuaries, rivers, lakes and lagoons. To get a better understanding of the issue, this paper will analyse the case study of a small island state in relation with the greenhouse effect. The relevant case study would be Palau, a small…

earthworks in Palau, Menka in Kosrae and Nan Madol on Pohnpei. These will be compared with the East Polynesian monumental sites of the Hawaiian Heiau, the Moai statues and ahu of Rapa Nui and Tahitian Marae. The reasons that might explain the similarities and differences between these two regions is due to the cultural traditions as a result of a linked ancestry and thereby similar cultural traditions. However, the differences could be due to the environmental landscape of each area and what the…

Quite frankly I think I can relate to how some of those students felt being placed in an english course that does not count toward college credit. I was never great at math, even when I tried the hardest to remember formulas, rules and even exceptions to those rules. So you can imagine my disappointment when I found myself in taking Pre-Algebra again my freshman year of highschool even though I thought that I could of done fine in regular Algebra my first year.

such as marshes, leading to a loss in biodiversity. Additionally, land has to be reclaimed from the deeper waters which is costly as more sand has to be supplied to the reclaimed area. The absence of the availability of sand would compound the governments’ financial predicament as well. An example of countries who carry out landfill method would be Singapore. Since the 1960s, land constraints have been a serious problem for Singapore, therefore large-scale land reclamation was in the pipeline…

mutation in one allele and long GAA repeats in another allele (Campuzano et al. 1996). Hyper expanded GAA repeats (66 – 1800 triplets) hypothesized to interfere with the gene transcription through either non-B DNA structure or chromatin formation leading to deficiency of frataxin protein (Patel and Isaya 2001; Herman et al. 2006). Frataxin is an essential mitochondrial protein of as yet unknown function, with ubiquitous expression. Even though the role of frataxin has not been fully elucidated,…
