[Para. 1 of Introduction]: Migration is shaping societies around the world. It has long defined settler countries, such as Canada; it is affecting communities of departure and return, ranging from the Azores to Zimbabwe; and it is increasingly impacting countries that have traditionally not considered themselves as major immigrant destinations, like many European countries. Meanwhile, individual migrants and their families experience departure, migration, and arrival differently than the communities shaped by them. From both societal and individual perspectives, we can ask whether migration accomplishes what it promises to achieve. Does migration contribute to the economic, social, and cultural well-being of societies? Do migrants and their families find a pathway to security, achieve social and economic upward mobility, and gain opportunities to participate in the political and cultural life of their arrival communities? The Promise of Migration addresses these questions through a critical lens. ; Bauder, H. (Ed.). (2019).

The Confederate Graves Survey Archive of the Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans consists of surveys of cemeteries throughout Texas, and portions of Oklahoma and New Mexico. The surveys document the interment of Confederate States of America military veterans. United States of America (Union) veterans, as well as able-bodied men at the time of the Civil War, are also documented. 13 boxes entitled "Grave Surveys" contain grave surveys listed county-by-county, 3 boxes of "Unit Files" list surveyed individuals by their military unit. Finally, 17 boxes contain "Veteran Files" that document each veteran by name in "last name, first name, middle initial" format. An index that cross-references each of the collection series (Grave Surveys, Unit Files, and Veteran Files) is included, as are institutions to surveyors on how and what to document while conducting surveys. ; Lakeview Cemetery #2588, Lakeview Hall County, Texas | Veterans Interred: Jackson, W.

The story of 22.July, which contain deeply painful but also catalyze the maturity,it always be treated as sensitive topic nowadays. However, the wound will eventually heal, the story will definitely become more objective and educational. The place in where keep this story shouldleave the revelation behind for future generations. The project is an experiential learning centre in Oslo, which based on the Norway terrorist attacks that occurred on July 22, 2011. By exploring the potential qualities from the event, the value from Democracy become the Spirit of Place, which could leave that dignified calm while also let the contemporary life have its own expression. Through whole process, democratic features were reflected in spatialquality, site constraint and public identity. ; submittedVersion
Die Thünen-Baseline 2013 bis 2023 ist eine auf den deutschen Agrarsektor fokussierte modellgestützte Projektion der erwarteten Entwicklungen auf der Grundlage der im Winter 2013/14 vorliegenden Daten und Informationen. Sie stellt eine Referenzsituation für die Analyse von Auswirkungen alternativer Politiken und Entwicklungen dar. Die Thünen-Baseline geht von einer Beibehaltung der derzeitigen Agrarpolitik bzw. der Umsetzung bereits beschlossener Politikänderungen aus. Für die vorliegende Baseline bedeutet dies im Wesentlichen die Umsetzung der 2013 beschlossenen Reform der Europäischen Agrarpolitik und ihrer nationalen Umsetzung entsprechend des Beschlusses der deutschen Agrarministerkonferenz. Insgesamt zeichnet die Thünen-Baseline 2013 bis 2023 das Bild einer wettbewerbsstarken Landwirtschaft in Deutschland, die sich gut an die Veränderungen der jüngsten Agrarreform anpasst und die Möglichkeiten zur Produktionsausdehnung, insbesondere im Milchbereich, wahrnimmt. Auf der anderen Seite zeigen die Projektionen, dass sich unter den getroffenen Annahmen und unveränderten politischen Rahmenbedingungen die Probleme, die sich aus der intensiven Tierproduktion ergeben können, nicht im Zeitablauf "von selbst" lösen, sondern im Gegenteil angesichts der projizierten Rentabilität der Veredlungsproduktion weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen könnten. ; This article presents selected results of the Thünen-Baseline as well as the assumptions upon which these results are based. The Thünen-Baseline is established using and combining several models of the Thünen model network. It provides a reference scenario for the analysis of the impacts of alternative policies and developments. The projections are based on data and information available as of winter 2013/14. The baseline assumes a continuation of the current policy framework and the implementation of already decided policy changes. For the Thünen-Baseline 2013 to 2023, this implies the implementation of the EU-CAP reform decided in 2013 and its national implementation according to the decisions made at the German Ministers of Agriculture conference. Overall, the Thünen-Baseline 2013 to 2023 draws a picture of a competitive agricultural sector in Germany, which adapts well to the changes of the latest policy reform and seizes the opportunities for expanding production, especially in the dairy sector. On the other hand, the projections also highlight that – under the assumptions made and with unchanged policy conditions – the problems that may accompany intensive livestock production will not simply dissolve. In contrast, in view of the projected high profitability of intensive pig and poultry production the related challenges could increase.
The purpose of this paper is to describe the findings of a survey of Bulgarian faculty about the extent to which their research is openly available, awareness of the European Union Competitive Council open access goal, support of the goal, and preferences for achieving it. The authors conducted a survey of 584 faculty at six universities in Bulgaria using the Qualtrics online survey software. There were 222 effectively surveyed respondents. Bulgarian researchers are aware of arguments in favor of open access and believe that it benefits researchers in their discipline. Only a little more than a third of Bulgarian faculty are familiar with the E.U. goal of open access to all publicly funded research by 2020. Once the goal is explained, they support it. Authors may not understand the intricacies of green and gold open access, but they are willing to meet the E.U. goal by either publishing in open access journals (the gold method) or depositing articles in open access repositories (the green method). The results are useful to countries and funding agencies interested in achieving open access to state funded research. To date, there has been no research that seeks to determine the degree to which researchers are aware of the E.U. Competitive Council goal or that seeks to determine faculty preferences for achieving that goal. This paper explores methods available for achieving open access to the results of publicly funded research in Bulgaria.

With new proposals and development initiatives, the government aims to maintain the momentum of economic growth. There is emphasis on keeping poverty and job losses to a minimum with no new taxes, expansion of social protection schemes, and increase in salaries. Initiatives to protect both formal and informal Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have been announced in view of the stresses faced by private enterprises amid COVID-19.
Western democratic nation-states are governing (im)migrations through systemic indifference (a new form of systemic xenophobia and systemic racism). Majority self-aware ethnic groups (led by elites, i.e., the nation, the executive, the government) apply formal social control with total indifference to (and in contradiction with) social order and the rule of law. Social order and the rule of law are not honored (refusal of entry in humanitarian crisis, border outsourcing, and permanent state of exception in borders) or, in other cases, they are (dubiously) honored (approval of deportations) but not enforced. This systemic indifference has led to a Catch-22 in which immigrants are trapped (necropolitics, permanent state of exception in EU and US outside borders, border outsourcing, and hopeless free wandering in which immigrants may challenge, unintentionally and inadvertently, the internal social order). Western democratic nation-states show their deep internal contradictions in times of mass migrations, aged (and fast-aging) societies, populisms, authoritarianism, extremism and the reinforcement of whiteness. In XXI century, Western democratic nation-states´ weakness is an important challenge in front of other political systems (China with its Chinese Marxism, authoritarian regimes like Russia, Turkey…) which are gaining momentum. The EU and the US confront a catharsis of their traditional social and political paradigms: from national to post-national and multicultural societies. Majority self-aware ethnic groups oppose this paradigm change with systemic indifference, systemic xenophobia and systemic racism. ; Universidad de Málaga.
