Presents a selected bibliography of Lazarsfeld's work, 1929-1996.

Since 2014, the Shiite Badr Organization, led by its Secretary General Hadi al-Amiri, has become one of the main actors in Iraqi politics. This development was largely possible due to the successes of its paramilitary units in the fight against the Islamic State (IS). The Badr Organization, which relies strongly on support from Tehran, has thus become the most important instrument of Iranian politics in its neighbouring country. Tehran's aim is to exert as much influence as possible on the central government in Baghdad and, at the same time, build a strong militia that depends on it. Since Badr established control over the province of Diyala and the Interior Ministry of Baghdad, the organization has grown appreciably and is now playing a role similar to that of Hezbollah in Lebanon. Badr is also part of a growing "Shiite International" which supports the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria and aggravates religious conflicts between Sunnites and Shiites through its violent acts. The combination of these factors makes the organization an increasingly important obstacle to the future stabilization of Iraq. (author's abstract)

"Im amerikanischen Vorwahlkampf ist eine der wichtigsten Vorentscheidungen bereits gefallen: das Rennen um das meiste Geld. Im System der Vorwahlen, das sich durch das Vorverlegen wichtiger Primaries deutlich verdichtet hat, ist das Einsammeln hoher und höchster Wahlkampfspenden so wichtig wie nie zuvor. Wo früher der persönliche Kontakt des Kandidaten zum Wähler noch möglich war und so auch Außenseiter eine Chance auf Erfolg hatten, können Kandidaten heute nur noch über teure Fernsehwerbung ein Profil gewinnen. Schon hat sich das Feld der aussichtsreichen Kandidaten erheblich gelichtet – und das obwohl dies die erste auf beiden Seiten offene Wahl seit fast 70 Jahren ist. Diese Verschiebung wird das amerikanische politische System verändern – wahrscheinlich
nicht zu seinem Vorteil." (Autorenreferat)

Attitude is very crucial in determining the decision for a woman to stay in the job. This means that employees tend to have a desire to leave if they feel not attached to the company. Female employees who tend to be married have a role as an employee and family member. Married female employees will have high work engagement if they feel their work brings benefits to family life. This study aims to determine the effect of work-family enrichment on work engagement and turnover intention. The population of this research was 391 married women employees who worked at least a year in four-star hotels in Bali, Indonesia. The sample in this study is determined using a nonprobability sampling method with a saturated sample based on specified criteria, 331 questionnaires returned (response rate of 85%), but only 325 questionnaires were complete and feasible to be analyzed (usable response rate of 83%). Data were collected via questionnaire and analyzed using SEM (structural equation modeling). The results showed that married female employees were more enthusiastic about working when they could fulfill their multiple roles in work and be better family members. Their involvement in work seriously and feeling proud to be part of the company can reduce their intention to leave. This research is expected to be a consideration for management in making policies related to decreasing turnover intention.
