The 2005 reform is, in my opinion, the one with the greatest legal significance of the seventeen changes made to the 1980 Fundamental Charter. I think so because that amendment finds, in the new Chapter VIII dedicated to the Constitutional Court, the most far-reaching modification that has been introduced into the Chilean regulatory system, at least since the Political Code of 1980 came into effect. ; La reforma de 2005 es, en mi concepto, la de mayor trascendencia jurídica de los diecisiete cambios hechos a la Carta Fundamental de 1980. Pienso así porque esa enmienda halla, en el nuevo Capítulo VIII dedicado al Tribunal Constitucional, la modificación de mayor envergadura que ha sido introducida en el sistema normativo chileno, al menos desde la vigencia del Código Político de 1980.

Demography, the study of births & deaths, has a profound influence on people & public policy; governments or legislatures seem to have 'precious little influence on such matters.' It should have been possible to predict that the 52% increase in the fourteen to twenty-four age group in the US in the 1960s would have resulted in the overload of institutions, the teenage turbulence in the '60s & '70s, & the unemployment of today. The young people of the future will be paying to support the vastly enlarged number of old people that will exist once the youths of the '60s turn sixty-five; this becomes more alarming with consideration that population is now declining. World reproduction rates are beginning to decline & stability in world population may be achieved by 2010 or 2015. Modified AA.

The paper considers the validity of cheating in sports and the consequences of such practices, especially in football. The focus of the research is, first of all, the controversial thesis of some philosophers that cheating can make the sport more dynamic and attractive to the audience and thus indirectly generate greater benefits to its stakeholders. The authors are of the opinion that cheating within any framework of 'flexibility' of the rules cannot be (bio)ethically justified or morally acceptable since the idea of sports competition as such would be delegitimised. They then analyse in the text the specific act of cheating made by Thierry Henry in a match between France and the Republic of Ireland as part of the UEFA second round of qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The authors conclude that, by helping to score a goal on fraud and later refusing to admit his wrongdoing, the French striker derogated the constitutive rules of football and sportsmanship rules, violated the reference moral values in sport and the fair play dimension, and questioned the integrity of the activity itself, i.e., the game.

For nearly sixty years, H. Bruce Franklin has built a body of work that touches on everything Herman Melville to the military-industrial complex to a lowly, little-known fish that is a historical keystone of the U.S. fishing history.

Employing a public opinion survey and a content analysis of local media, this study sets out to examine of the agenda-setting effect in China. China is highlighted in this study because it is a collectivist, socialist nation whose mainstream media is largely controlled by the state. Data from this study reveal that (a) Chinese people make clear distinctions between issues of personal importance (their personal agenda) and issues of national importance (their social agenda) and (b) the agenda-setting function of Chinese media was only observed when considering one's social agenda; the personal agenda was not related with the Chinese media agenda. These findings hold true when comparing across different demographic groups on variables such as age, education, news source, and one's ability to critically analyze news. This article contributes to agenda-setting scholarship by providing empirical evidence of agenda-setting effects in a political and media structure substantially different from the Western structures usually examined in such research.
