The flow of a viscous electrically conducting incompressible fluid due to an infinite rotating disk has been analysed when an uniform magnetic field acts perpendicularly to the disk. The solution is obtained by expanding the velocity components in powers of a hydromagnetic parameter.

The following paper will try to capture and to understand one of the most haunting and one of the most obsessive human endeavors undertaken by mankind: the pursuit for happiness! The goal of this study is that of trying to understand the ever recurring dream of Utopias! The only dream that made, and continues to make history. My goal is to investigate the phenomena of utopias, and to analyze all the inner mechanisms that are involved at work in this wild goose chase after the presumably Lost and Found Paradises. I argue that more often than not, utopia comes with a price tag attached to it. Throughout my research, I argue that primarily understood as part of the literary genre, when utopias are surrounded by ideology, they have the tendency to generate and to unleash a form of violence that stretches upon three distinctive yet closely related levels. Such a violence however, is done for the greater good of mankind! That is so to say, there's no violence at all in the end! I argue that in a world dominated by a self-denied utopianism, all acts of violence are dogmatically justified because all of them are done in the name, and for the sole purpose of attaining the Ever Lasting Peace on earth. Or at least, utopia's version of what peace ought to look like. The present study describes this paradoxical and quite ambiguous scenario, where the utopian discourse with the help of ideology demonizes the Other, in order to justify its own violent means of attaining the perfect human society. But utopia can also lead to a totally different version of the world, other than the one initially envisioned in the sacred blueprints of the forefathers. As we shall find out, things never go as they were initially planned in the utopian laboratory. While utopia can envision the purest of all heavens, in theory of course, the same utopian impulse can lead humanity to a nightmarish state of existence. Is there a clear line between utopias and dystopias? Can a society clearly differentiate between Heaven and Hell? In this thesis, I will try to see how utopia evolved throughout Western political mythology. I will try to see the connection between utopianism and the first "great debate" in International Relations, and the utopian consequences that are still visible today, in the 21st century. Keywords: utopia, utopianism, ideology, political myth, democratic peace, violence, wilsonianism

Alexander, the son and – first – heir of Stephen III the Great of Moldavia, remains a highly
controversial figure. Officially, he died on 26 July 1496, whilst with the host. The reports
sent from Hungary to Stephen's ally, Maximilian I of Habsburg (prior to 22-24 August
1496), and – most importantly – to his royal councillor Johannes Fuchsmagen (14 July
1496), show however that Alexander died at least a month earlier. He probably died on 26
June, as recorded in one of the chronicles of the Putna Monastery, Stephen's necropolis,
but not the burial place of Alexander (who was laid to rest at the Bistriţa Monastery).
The impact of Alexander's demise was considerable. His death was initially deemed that of
Stephen himself, to the utmost concern of the House of Habsburg. Allegedly, both the
Ottoman Turks and Sigismund Jagiello, the brother of Wladislaw II, king of Hungary and
Bohemia, and of Jan Albert, king of Poland, were ready to occupy Moldavia. Within a year,
Jan Albert did indeed attack Stephen, who had to be replaced with Sigismund as ruler of
Moldavia. The Jagellonian plan was foiled by the conspiracy of Maximilian and Stephen,
supported by the military intervention of Bartholomew Drágffy, the voivode of Transylvania
as well as – between 1489 and 1496 – the father-in-law of the late Alexander

An astonishing and furthermore anonymous report was preserved in the archives of the "Slovak branch" of the Erdődi family. Written in all likelihood in spring 1498, and – additionally – with direct focus on the policies of future cardinal Thomas Bakócz of Erdőd (Ardud), the extensive Latin document covered the recent talks and arrangements between Maximilian I of Habsburg, King of the Romans, and Stephen the Great, voivode of Moldavia. The document was eloquently entitled Modus conspirationis Romanorum regis Maximiliani cum Stephano, waywoda Moldavo, contra statum serenissimi principis domini Wladislai, Dei gratia regis Hungarie, Bohemie etc. et similiter contra statum serenissimi principis domini Alberti, Polonorum regis, primus initam cum prefata maiestate regis Hungarie et strictissimo iuramento firmatam perpetuam pacem et concordiam. The report provides a thorough overview of Maximilian's (and Stephen's) complex network of Hungarian supporters, as well as an insight into the most delicate matter of Habsburg-Ottoman agreements. The document substantiates Maximilian's pompous claim of February 1498 (made in front of the Spanish ambassador at his court) that the Wallachian (Stephen of Moldavia) controlled half of Hungary, while the other half of the realm reverted to the King of the Romans, therefore prompting the profound reformation of Europe, much desired by the Habsburg monarch.
