According to the author of this article, economy plays a major role in the Near East. The relationship between Germany & the Middle East focuses on social & political, in particular security, issues. Due to the Holocaust, Germany has a special relationship with & responsibility for Israel. Nonetheless, economic ties with Israel & the Middle East should not be forgotten, the author contends. Since the boom in the developing countries of Asia, the world needs even more energy than before. The author describes the planned economic sanctions against Iran & the West's half-hearted efforts to become less dependent on Middle Eastern oil. In conclusion, the author contends that no roadmap for pacification & dynamization of the Near East exists. A. Kallioinen

In this article, the author investigates the basic elements of choice and markets theory. In recent years, children were moving from rural and township schools to suburban White schools. This trend emerged in the late 1980s and simmered after the demise of apartheid. At face value, school choice appears to be happening merely for the reason of accessing resources in the former Model C1schools. The author argues that school choice is not simply driven by a lack of resources in local schools or by the motivation to gain access to educational opportunities. It happens because of several factors, which the author analyzes through selected theories. In the conclusion, the author argues that school choice is a complex phenomenon with many ambiguities and dilemmas.

The author counters the claim that public opinion matches elite opinion in terms of foreign policy because of lack of full information. In a comparative analysis of the divergent public & elite opinion in Italy & the UK to the congruent opinions in France & Germany, the author identifies contrasting behavior between the two sets of governments. The author argues that the explanatory factors for elite behavior in relation to divergent public opinion are the two different "dimensions" of opinion between European citizens & the British & Italian elites, that ultimately caused them to ignore public opinion. A case study of Italy analyzes Italian public opinion & the Church's negative response. In conclusion, the author advocates a louder public voice, & that European leaders must listen.

In everyday discourse and in the context of social scientific research we often attribute intentional states to groups. Contemporary approaches to group intentionality have either dismissed these attributions as metaphorical or provided an analysis of our attributions in terms of the intentional states of individuals in the group. Insection1, the author argues that these approaches are problematic. In sections 2 and 3, the author defends the view that certain groups are literally intentional agents. In section 4, the author argues that there are significant reasons for social scientists and philosophers of social science to acknowledge the adequacy of macro-level explanations that involve the attribution of intentional states to groups. In section 5, the author considers and responds to some criticisms of the thesis she defends.

The article analysis the consentaneous aspects of the Russian modem federalism's formation and development.

In the article the author considers urgent problems of Extradition. The study is based on scientific researches in this area and Laws on Extradition in other countries. The article consists of 3 parts. In the first part the author analyses the notion of Extradition. The legal regulation on Extradition is considered in the second part and the problems of conditions and procedures related to Extradition are presented in the third part of the article. The author pays attention to shortcomings of the legal regulation on Extradition in Lithuania and gives the ways of their elimination. At the same time the author grounds the need of passing the National Extradition Act and at the end in the view he gives the scheme of such law.

The author discusses Kolb's learning cycle and the propositions that give rise to it. The author considers the importance of the cycle within mainstream management education and development and then takes a more critical view, looking both behind and beyond the learning cycle at issues that can be developed out of its current conceptualization. The author argues that a more comprehensive picture of experiential learning in management education might be based on developments around emotional and political aspects of Kolb's model. These developments are intended to acknowledge additional, often omitted, aspects of learning from experience within management education and development. The author offers three particular areas for the development of skill and knowledge in the practice of management education.

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) and clustering analysis of the co-citation patterns of 58 authors are used to explore the intellectual organization of population genetics and related specialties. In two dimensions, author clusters are arranged along a horizontal continuum reflecting a range of research specializations from highly molecular-oriented research to that focusing on the analysis of organisms interacting with each other and their environment. The vertical dimension separates theoretical (formal) approaches from research that is primarily experimental or observational in nature. Author placement and cluster assignment may also reflect institutional affiliations and national research efforts. Co-cited author mapping, with the author as the unit of analysis, is likely to complement studies of informal communication networks.

Pour les auditeurs d'Hérodote, il ne faisait pas de doute qu'Artémise, capitaine de vaisseaux qui s'était illustrée à Salamine au Ve siècle av. J.-C., avait effectivement participé à la célèbre bataille navale, elle qui avait dirigé la cité d'Halicarnasse et qui, bien que Grecque, avait été membre de l'état-major perse. Pour les historiens postérieurs, l'exploit d'Artémise est en revanche incroyable : comment des citoyens d'Halicarnasse auraient-ils pu accepter qu'une femme les gouverne et commande leurs navires ? À partir du cas singulier d'Artémise, Violaine Sebillotte Cuchet mène une vaste enquête. Elle dévoile le regard que les habitants des cités grecques portaient sur les femmes au pouvoir, les rapports de force qui organisaient alors les relations sociales, les manières de construire la masculinité, la féminité et l'altérité barbare. La vie d'Artémise, longtemps considérée comme exceptionnelle, s'éclaire ici des fragments de vie connus des autres femmes de l'Antiquité grecque, contre les stéréotypes construits au fil des siècles

"The contributors to Kin draw on the work of anthropologist Deborah Bird Rose (1946-2018), a foundational voice in environmental humanities, to examine the relationships of interdependence and obligation between human and nonhuman lives. Through a close engagement over many decades with the Aboriginal communities of Yarralin and Lingara in northern Australia, Rose's work explored possibilities for entangled forms of social and environmental justice. She sought to bring the insights of her Indigenous teachers into dialogue with the humanities and the natural sciences to describe and passionately advocate for a world of kin grounded in a profound sense of the connectivities and relationships that hold us together. Kin's contributors take up Rose's conceptual frameworks, often pushing academic fields beyond their traditional objects and methods of study. Together, the essays do more than pay tribute to Rose's scholarship; they extend her ideas and underscore her ongoing critical and ethical relevance to a world still enduring and resisting ecocide and genocide.
