Der Aufsatz geht der Frage nach, wie in Deutschland - unter den derzeitigen politischen Bedingungen - gesellschaftliche Einheiten ihre Funktionen wahrnehmen und inwiefern
einflussreiche Personen des öffentlichen Lebens nach einer bestimmten Ethik handeln. Max Webers Unterscheidung von Verantwortungs- und Gesinnungsethik gibt uns wichtige Anhaltspunkte für eine Untersuchung.
Was tut die deutsche Regierung für die Durchsetzung des Rechtsstaates und die innere und äußere Sicherheit? Dies sind angrenzende Untersuchungsgegenstände. Merkels Regierung hat auf wirtschaftlichem Gebiet in den vergangenen zehn Jahren Wichtiges geleistet. Die Bundeswehr hat zwar nicht die internationale Sicherheit in nennenswerter Weise erhöht, hat aber dafür auch nicht an destruktiven Kriegen teilgenommen. Merkels Migrations-Politik, die sich nicht mit dem Konzept einer Verantwortungsethik erklären lässt, hat eher zu einer Schwächung des Rechtsstaates und der inneren Sicherheit beigetragen.

Declining performance of the postcolonial African states suggest the inefficiency of centralization and/or socialist strategy that currently dominates the region. Presents involving state elites in grass roots capitalist development. It fosters decentralization and economic development without sacrificing rule legimization and national integration as equality objectives. It seeks to adapt to African realities the norms of embedded liberalism that properly describe current Western liberalism. (Abstract amended)

With the possible exception of the violation of Belgian neutrality, no acts have provoked wider criticism than the burning of Louvain with its university, its cathedral, its library, including its books, manuscripts and scientific collections, the partial destruction of the cathedrals of Rhcims and Soissons, the alleged "massacre" at Aerschot, the "sacking" of Senlis, including the partial destruction of its cathedral, and the "atrocities" at Linsmeau, Termonde and Orsmael. The British Prime Minister, in his Guildhall speech of September 4th, characterized the burning of Louvain as "the greatest crime committed against civilization and culture since the Thirty Years War—a shameless holocaust of irreparable treasures lit up by blind barbarian vengeance." Sir Frederick Pollock also declared that "it exceeded in horror and calculated wickedness any military crime committed since the Thirty Years War." The London Times denounced it as "an atrocious act without a parallel even in the Dark Ages and one which would turn the hands of every civilized nation against the Germans." These expressions fairly represent the opinion of the English and, to a large degree, the American public in regard to the character of the act.

The all-embracing discourse of population quality (suzhi) is put to work through rural primary schools in ways that help state institutions implement policies such as accelerating demographic transition, restructuring the education system, professionalizing labour markets, promoting agricultural skills training, instituting economic liberalism and carrying out patriotic education. Suzhi discourse facilitates policy implementation in four ways. First, it imbues disparate policies with seeming coherence. Secondly, by articulating a diverse set of policies through suzhi discourse, including state retreat from welfare provisioning, state institutions can be seen to be working to improve people's well-being. Thirdly, in making people responsible for raising their own quality, the need to improve suzhi is an explanation and a prescription when individuals are adversely affected by policies. Finally, suzhi discourse encourages individuals to regulate their conduct in accordance with the political drift of society. By enfolding suzhi norms into identity formation, the education system shapes each individual's ongoing process of "becoming" in ways that parallel the nation's modernization, thereby reducing the costs of policy enforcement.

Artículo escrito por un elevado número de autores, solo se referencian el que aparece en primer lugar, el nombre del grupo de colaboración, si le hubiere, y los autores pertenecientes a la UAM ; The β decay of Cd129, produced in the relativistic fission of a U238 beam, was experimentally studied at the RIBF facility at the RIKEN Nishina Center. From the γ radiation emitted after the β decays, a level scheme of In129 was established comprising 31 excited states and 69 γ-ray transitions. The experimentally determined level energies are compared to state-of-the-art shell-model calculations. The half-lives of the two β-decaying states in Cd129 were deduced and the β feeding to excited states in In129 were analyzed. It is found that, as in most cases in the Z < 50, N ≤ 82 region, both decays are dominated by the ν0g7/2→π0g9/2 Gamow-Teller transition, although the contribution of first-forbidden transitions cannot be neglected ; This work was supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion under contracts FPA2009-13377-C02 and FPA2011-29854- C04, the Generalitat Valenciana (Spain) under grant PROMETEO/2010/101, the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) grant funded by the Korea government (MEST) (No. NRF-2012R1A1A1041763), the Priority Centers Research Program in Korea (2009-0093817), OTKA contract number K-100835, JSPS KAKENHI (Grant No. 25247045), the European Commission through the Marie Curie Actions call FP7-PEOPLE-2011-IEF under Contract No. 300096, the US Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357, the "RIKEN foreign research program," and the German BMBF (No. 05P12RDCIA and 05P12RDNUP) and HIC for FAIR

RECENTLY RELEASED U.S. DIPLOMATIC DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE COLLAPSE OF THE BATISTA REGIME IN CUBA AND THE EMERGENCE OF FIDEL CASTRO DO LITTLE TO SETTLE THE CONFUSION ABOUT THESE EVENTS. HOWEVER, A FEW CONCLUSIONS SEEMED TO BE SUPPORTED BY THE NEW DOCUMENTS: THERE WAS REALLY NO "HONEYMOON" WITH THE CASTRO REGIME, BUT NEITHER WAS THE U.S. RIGIDLY AND UNALTERABLY OPPOSED TO WORKING WITH THE NEW GOVERNMENT; THERE WAS NO "LOST OPPORTUNITY" TO BUY CASTRO OFF WITH OFFERS OF ECONOMIC AID; LAND REFORM WAS A SERIOUS IRRITANT, BUT IT WAS OVERRULED BY OTHER U.S. INTERESTS AND CONCERNS; AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT STRUGGLED AS LONG AS POSSIBLE TO INSERT THE CASTRO REVOLUTION INTO THE KNOWN TAXONOMY OF LATIN AMERICAN NATIONALIST REGIMES.

Since the Geneva Conventions were signed on August 12, 1949, the International Committee of the Red Cross has endeavoured to make these texts universal since they constitute the basis of humanitarian law. Recently, it has put the emphasis on their dissemination in Africa because, in the critical phase which this continent is going through, it seems particularly desirable that all African states feel themselves bound by these treaties.

This open access book illustrates a new type of formative intervention for in-service teacher training in entrepreneurship education. The book describes a Change Laboratory and shows how teachers and workshop assistants develop the idea of a multidisciplinary project entailing the design of a self-service and parking lot in a dismissed area close to the city centre. The multidisciplinary project is taken as example of how an idea is debated and turned into collective action and change, the very essence of initiative and entrepreneurship. The Change Laboratory thus increases the participation of students, teachers and stakeholders in the school towards a new curriculum through the implementation of a multidisciplinary project connecting school with the world outside and working life. The book features a foreword by Luke Pittaway, USASBE Entrepreneurship Educator of 2018. The manuscript discusses key concepts of Cultural Historical Activity Theory's Change Laboratory as a formative intervention in a coherent and accessible manner. Beyond that it carefully illustrates how the Change Laboratory and its principles of double stimulation and ascending from the abstract to the concrete can be used as a theory of change to address one of the difficult and new demands of the European Union's New Skills Agenda. The author takes the reader through the expansive learning journey and uses strong evidence to show how a new object can be developed, and how associated tensions and contradictions can be surfaced and tackled by actors with a partially shared object, and how a new concept can be formed and enriched through implementation and reflection in a manner that generates collective transformative agency.

Citizenship education in pluralistic countries often relies on programs to combat negative prejudice and, to a lesser extent, to make various groups feel as if they are all one group. Recent research on allophilia, a largely ignored positive dimension of intergroup attitudes, suggests
that these approaches are insufficient. Intergroup attitudes do not have to be negative (prejudice) or neutral (tolerance); they can be positive (allophilia). Allophilia research finds that allophilia takes five forms: affection, comfort, kinship, engagement and enthusiasm. Research also finds
that increasing allophilia has different antecedents and predicts different outcomes than decreasing prejudice does. For citizenship education, this means that two goals – reducing existing prejudice among a country's different groups and increasing allophilia among them – can
and should be pursued to achieve the goal of a country with different groups that actually want to live and work together. The article suggests ways in which citizenship education programs can promote allophilia, including the use of empathic joy along with the more commonly used empathic
sorrow; activities to promote affection, comfort, kinship, engagement and enthusiasm; applications of social-networking technology to promote allophilia; and the use of direct measurements of positive attitudes, such as the Allophilia Scale, rather than assuming that low measurements of prejudice
indicate the presence of allophilia.

This article explores the relationship between public opinion and nonincremental policy change by extending the analysis of Wright et al. (1985, 1987). We develop a two-step model in which we first relate the level of a relevant outcome measure of a policy to the degree of opinion liberalism, the strategy of Wright and his colleagues. Then we posit that policy shocks will move the policy system into greater policy-opinion congruence. The model is tested for two policy areas that have undergone nonincremental change over the late 1970s and early 1980s: tax policy and education policy.

The motivation to investigate degree of job satisfaction arises from the fact that a better understanding of teachers is the desirable to achieve a higher level of motivation which is directly associated with student achieved. Since, women play a very crucial role in the development of society and education at all levels. The present study is attempted to study the job satisfaction among women teacher in higher education of Manipur. Objective of the study: To study the age group and qualification of women teachers working in Government Colleges and Manipur University in Manipur and also analyse the comparison of Government Colleges and Manipur University women teachers in respect of working hour and job satisfaction. Method: The present study adopted a normative survey method. The data were collected through Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale (TJSS) standardized by MMLB (Mubar Mudgil Bhatia 2012). Results: It can be concluded that the women teachers working in Manipur University has more job satisfaction and working hour than of the women teachers working in Government Colleges in Manipur
