Alphabetical name order is the norm for joint publications in economics. However, alphabetical order confers greater benefits on the first author. In a two-author model, we introduce and study certified random order: the uniform randomization of names made universally known by a commonly understood symbol. Certified random order (i) distributes the gain from first authorship evenly over the alphabet; (ii) allows either author to signal when contributions are extremely unequal; (iii) will invade an environment where alphabetical order is dominant; (iv) is robust to deviations; (v) may be ex ante more efficient than alphabetical order; and (vi) is no more complex than the existing alphabetical system modified by occasional reversal of name order.

This article is part of the special section titled Recursive Easts, Shifting Peripheries, guest edited by Pamela Ballinger. In this brief introduction to the special forum on the topic of "Recursive Easts, Shifting Peripheries: Whither Europe's 'Easts' and 'Peripheries'?" the author lays out the conceptual framework for the forum's contributions. The forum takes as its starting point the supposed "obsolescence" of both the notion of Eastern Europe and the scholarship dedicated to this topic, which flourished in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War's end. The author argues, instead, the continued urgency and value in studying the operation of easternisms and processes of peripheralization within the European context. In particular, the author highlights the recursive nature of easternisms and peripheries.

Abstract
The author was inspired to write this article in light of the ongoing and recent claims by some radical feminists that trans women are not women. This is much more than a debate among differing theoretical positions. Women have been threatened, both trans* and cis women. The vitriol on both sides is alarming and undermining of the feminism we all share. Rather than write an academic, philosophical treatise on the meaning of "woman," the author wrote this from her first-person experience, as someone who was "born female" and identifies as a woman but is often socially read as trans* (a trans man). The author aims to articulate a radical feminist understanding of women that shows trans women are women in concrete, personal terms.

This article addresses the question of subjectivity in research. In order to facilitate the use of subjectivity in a research context, the author reminds readers of possible procedures as suggested in the literature. Particular attention is given to the idea of peer debriefing. Inspired by psychoanalysis, the author expands on the concept of discussant or debriefer and suggests that by doing so, subjectivity can be better understood. It is suggested that this may actually be fully integrated into a study in order to both better understand the subject under examination as well as the influence of the research mentor and student dyad. The author shares an example of this approach taken from a previously completed study on pedophile sex abusers.

In this paper the author explores how relationships are defined within the context of constructing a life history. The life history of Benjamin, a homeless young man transitioning to adulthood, is used to illustrate how difficult it is to define the parameters of the research environment. During an "ethically important moment" in the research process, the author had to critically analyze his obligation to his participant based upon the relational titles exchanged. As chaos in Benjamin's life increased, a choice needed to be made about the researcher's involvement in his life. Should the researcher provide support or simply document events? Based upon the obligations inherent in how Benjamin defined his relationship with the researcher, the author explains why and how Benjamin's life was interrupted.

The author believes that Russian authoritarianism is a socially and politically non-uniform phenomenon, with a manifestation of national-regional features and characteristics. Russian authoritarianism has demonstrated certain vitality. At a certain historical stage, it has solved some problems of socio-political development relatively successfully.

The article describes the questions of guaranteeing the safety of funds of individuals and legal entities in the Russian banks. First there is an analytical review of such experience in foreign countries in the article. Then the author explores the current status of legislation and practices in the protection of individuals' deposits through the Deposit insurance system.

In this regard, the author proposes to implement legislative initiatives. DOI:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n6p101

We obtain a matrix characterization of semiclassical orthogonal polynomials in terms of the Jacobi matrix associated with the multiplication operator in the basis of orthogonal polynomials, and the lower triangular matrix that represents the orthogonal polynomials in terms of the monomial basis of polynomials. We also provide a matrix characterization for coherent pairs of linear functionals. ; The work of the first author was supported by a grant of the Secretaría de Educación Pública of México and the Mexican Government.
