ROBERT WISE'S THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL PART II: KLAATU AS ALIEN MESSIAH AbstractIn Part I, the author had documented how the SF cult classic The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) was traditionally perceived as a UFO film with Artificial Intelligence (AI), political, police and philosophical dimensions, and arguing that it is best understood as a profoundly religious film. In Part II, the critical literature was revisited and textually-based, humanist film criticism was again utilized as the guiding analytical lens to explicate the subtextual construction of Klaatu as an alien Messiah within an SF Passion picture. It is argued that Klaatu is the Christ-figure of 1950s science fiction cinema. IntroductionIn the Fall 2013 issue of Kinema: A Journal for Film and Audiovisual Media, the author closely examined the classic black-and-white UFO film The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Прослеживается реакция Азербайджана на кризис на Украине. События на Украине предлагается рассмотреть не столько в контексте национальной позиции Азербайджана и региональной политики, сколько в контексте глобальной геополитики. В этой связи исследуются складывающиеся новые реалии, и делается вывод о начале складывания «глобального многополярного регионализма» и о «постиндустриальном институциональном колониализме» ЕС.

Why would a national political party that has been competitive for decades collapse overnight? In recent years, parties across Latin America went from being major contenders for executive office to electoral irrelevance over the course of a single electoral cycle. The author develops an explanation that highlights the impact of elite actions on voter behavior. During the 1980s and 1990s leaders across the region implemented policies that were inconsistent with their traditional party brand, provoked internal party conflicts, and formed strange-bedfellow alliances with traditional rivals. These actions diluted the brands of their parties, eroding voters' partisan attachments. Without the assured support of partisans, parties become more susceptible to retrospective voting. Voters who now had no party attachments deserted incumbent parties when they performed poorly. The author tests this interactive hypothesis using matched comparisons of six party-election cases from Argentina and Venezuela. (World Politics / SWP)

На основе анализа зарубежного уголовного законодательства о раскаянии в совершенном преступлении делается вывод о том, что за исключением стран, ранее входивших в состав СССР либо испытавших влияние советского законодательства, в большинстве такое раскаяние стимулируется лишь смягчением наказания либо освобождением от него. Обращается внимание российского законодателя на опыт тех Уголовных кодексов (в частности, Австрии), в которых стимулирование деятельного раскаяния осуществляется в Особенной части в отношении целого ряда видов преступлений. ; Having analyzed other countries' criminal legislation regarding repentance for crime the author concludes that in most countries' legislation (with the exception of the former USSR countries or those under the influence of the Soviet legislation) such repentance is stimulated only by mitigation of punishment or exemption from it. The author wants to draw the attention of Russian lawmakers to those Criminal Codes (Austrian in particular) where actual repentance for a considerable number of crime categories is stimulated in the Special Part.

"In 2013 insular Southeast Asia was the region most prone to pirate attacks in the world. (The author) takes a close look at contemporary piracy in this region, examines the nature of pirate attacks and identifies recent piracy trends and
hotspots. Has there been a shift or change in comparison to the last piracy boom in this region between the 1990s and the mid-2000s? And what could be done to ensure piracy does not worsen, to protect those targeted by attacks in the future
and guarantee the safety of the region's primary maritime shipping routes? (The author) demonstrates that, unlike in waters such as the wider Gulf of Aden area, there is no need for international warships or armed private security guards on ships in Southeast Asia. Instead, it is important to work out tailored responses to the specific types of attacks as well as adopt broader measures which address the root causes of piracy." (author's abstract)

Th e author proposes a test for the propensity of being a reactionary that he calls "Metternich test", although Robert Stewart Castlereagh (1769–1822) could also be called as an examiner. Undoubtedly only Russian tsars can be considered reactionary monarchs, starting from Nicholas I (1796–1855). To judge whether president Putin is a reactionary we need authority of Alexandr Solzhenitsyn (1918–2008). Although Henry Kissinger is called Metternich of 20th century, he is not suit for the function of examiner. Author elaborates on the faith Metternich had in love as a force that makes politics possible. A person that can't understand the life of other people, cannot understand history. Aft er Nicholas I became tsar all Russian doctinaires, such as Sergey Uvarov (1786–1855), Konstantin Leontiev (1831–1891) and Konstantin Pobedonostsev 1827–1907), formulated principles of reaction. The paper ends with Wacław Nałkowski's (1851–1911) critique of Henryk Sienkiewicz as a reactionary.

Health care services in India have undergone rapid transitions in the last two decades. While government health services have been shrinking and investments got squeezed, the private sector has been promoted as an efficient alternative. This has led to an increasing dependence of people on the private sector for seeking care and a regressive form of financing based on out-of-pocket spending has emerged. The 12th Plan tries to address some of these concerns through Universal Health Coverage. The author argues that while universal access to health is a noble goal, it may not be achieved if an insurance-based model of financing and a managed care approach based on private sector delivery is adopted. Such an approach may facilitate further consolidation of capital at the expense of people's money. The author draws from international experience to argue that egalitarian and universal access to health care can be provided only if government health services are strengthened.

Do health and health policy professionals (HHPPs) participate in the formation of agency health regulations? Passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 has necessitated the writing of many health‐related national and state regulations. This article examines the participation patterns of HHPPs during rulemaking to gain insights that may be transferable to future health‐related administrative decision making. The author suggests that the mix of public participants active during rulemaking has implications for health policy outputs. This proposition is tested using data drawn from 39 state health regulations and survey data from more than 380 participants and 23 interviews with agency officials. The author finds that HHPPs participate across the majority of the sample regulations, and when their activity across a rule increases, so does participant satisfaction with regulatory outcomes. More broadly, the results suggest a desire for even greater participation by HHPPs in future health‐related rulemaking.
