Zusammenfassung
Ein stetig wachsendes Angebot an religiösen und spirituellen (r/s) Weganleitungen und Praktiken wird von einer zunehmenden Zahl von Individuen in den westlichen Gesellschaften rege in Anspruch genommen. Während r/s Glaubensüberzeugungen, Gruppenzugehörigkeiten und Praktiken vielfältige salutogene Wirkungen haben können, so kann unter diversen abträglichen Kontextbedingungen auch ein breites Spektrum an problematischen und krisenhaften psychischen Reaktionen daraus erwachsen. Derartige Probleme und Krisen im Kontext der r/s Entwicklung, Orientierung und Praxis sind in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten zunehmend in den Fokus des klinisch-psychotherapeutischen Interesses gerückt. Der Beitrag gibt einen orientierenden Überblick über wesentliche Entwicklungen auf diesem Forschungsgebiet. Es werden prominente Typologien psychischer Probleme im Kontext von Religiosität und Spiritualität (R/S) vorgestellt und deren jeweilige Schwerpunktsetzungen diskutiert. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Reflexion der Faktoren, die zu einer angemessenen und effektiven Begleitung von Menschen in problematischen psycho-religiösen oder psycho-spirituellen Prozessen beitragen.

Utopias are embedded in contexts from which they derive meaning and significance. As a vehicle for speculation, intervention, and creativity, narrative utopia (the literary genre and its counterparts in other media) reflects the circumstances of its times, including its culture's relationship to the past. This article offers a survey of ways in which utopias engage with the problematics of historical memory both by looking to the past in the "real" world (either critically or apologetically) or in a mythical world (in the sphere of religion) and by positing fictional peoples with their own historical memory/ies, as instanced in legends, libraries, works of art, and so on. The erasure or falsification of memory, on the other hand, appears as an important leitmotif of the dystopian imagination. By pointing out a variety of examples and issues, the article will attempt to bridge the existing gap between utopian studies and cultural memory studies.

The article is devoted to the study of state support in the field of bioenergy production in Ukraine. It is mentioned, that it is still not clear the legal nature of agricultural bioenergy relations. However, it is quite clear that relations on state support of bioenergy production (in terms of production of biofuels from agricultural raw materials) belong to the subject of agroprotective law and are regulated by it. This is due to the fact that: first, the objects of bioenergy relations are biomass and biofuels, which are agricultural products; secondly, the subjects of bioenergy relations are mainly agricultural producers or processors; thirdly, the content of bioenergy relations is in the production and processing of agricultural products. That is, bioenergy relations at the stages of production (formation) of biomass and its processing into biofuels constitute a type of agricultural activity, the state support of which is regulated by agroprotective law. It is revealed that in terms of state support should be taken such measures as: support of processing of actually produced agricultural products by its producer; support of creation of agricultural processing cooperatives; support of bioenergy production, which is based on the process of processing biomass into biofuels. Improvement of agroprotective legislation in this area should occur by: a) foreseeing universal legal mechanisms to support processing activities in the Law of Ukraine "On state support of agriculture of Ukraine"; b) addition to the Law of Ukraine "On agricultural cooperation" of agroprotective provisions on agricultural processing cooperatives; c) adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On production and sale of biofuels".

The article presents the concept of strategic planning adapted to the realities of social assistance and attempts to prove that this concept significantly affects the demand for research on local social problems that is carried out in local social assistance institutions. This increasingly significant activity, mainly concerning diagnosing and forecasting, influences both the identification of new tasks of social welfare and, consequently, new elements of its organizational structures, which were called local laboratories for research on social policy in the title of the article, and the need to delegate these tasks to specialists in social policy.

The book is a collection of essays, which aim to situate African legal theory in the context of the myriad of contemporary global challenges; from the prevalence of war to the misery of poverty and disease to the crises of the environment. Apart from being problems that have an indelible African mark on them, a common theme that runs throughout the essays in this book is that African legal theory has been excluded, under-explored or under-theorised in the search for solutions to such contemporary problems. The essays make a modest attempt to reverse this trend. The contributors investigate and introduce readers to the key issues, questions, concepts, impulses and problems that underpin the idea of African legal theory. They outline the potential offered by African legal theory and open up its key concepts and impulses for critical scrutiny. This is done in order to develop a better understanding of the extent to which African legal theory can contribute to discourses seeking to address some of the challenges that confront African and non-African societies alike
