Popular Dramas Between Transgression and Order

Abstract

This article examines the importance and the effects of crime news and courtroom journalism for modern societies, taking a global perspective. Mass media starting in the middle of the nineteenth century identified criminal courts as important places that allowed for popular and often-sensational stories of transgression and order. In the United States, in Europe, and in Asia, popular dramas based on criminal trials that appeared in the newspaper stimulated important societal debates, questioning the very notion of modern law and its application. However, it is argued that future research needs to pay more attention to the narratives and effects of courtroom reporting on democracy, both past and present.

Enhanced Volts-per-Hertz Sensorless Starting of Permanent Magnet Motor with Heavy Loads in Long-Cable Subsea Applications

“…This voltage drop varies from system to system depending on various factors such as cable length, voltage rating, power rating, system components, etc. The voltage drops in the sinewave filter (~2 to 5%) [58][59][60][61], transformer (~1 to 3%) [62][63][64][65][66][67], cable (length-dependent, ~10%), and PM motor stator resistance. Additionally, on the input side of the drive, DC link voltage (vdc) fluctuation also introduces distortion to the motor and affects performance, which can be compensated for through software control.…”
