Internationalization and clusters of cultures
Authors: Makharashvili I. , Lomaia N.
Published: May 2019

The cluster term is a cluster analysis tool that develops from the mid-twentieth century and was used in areas where there was an enormous mass of primary data and this concept had no economic content. Cluster Analysis is a mathematical procedure based on a number of characteristics of the set of objects, which allow them to classify as classes (clusters) so that objects entered in one class are more homogeneous and similar to those in other classes. The distance between them is calculated on the basis of numerically expressed parameters. The method first appeared in 1939 in R. Trion used and called this method cluster analysis. Cluster is a complex concept that involves "industrial, geographically close, intercontinental companies and other organizations that act in a certain area and characterized by unity and / or mutual filling". In some works clusters are called "industrial" or "industrial areas". According to the Porter, the cluster is a group of geographically close interdependent companies and related organizations operating in a certain area and characterized by unity, and complemented by each other. In this definition, the main focus is on the three main features of enterprise clusters: geographical localization, interconnection between enterprises and technological interaction of sectors.

The Eastern European cluster in which Georgia enters, is characterized by a high level of power distance and collectivism. Members of this community maintain close family connections and are characterized by low orientation of orientation and final outcome. Also, the distinctive features of this cluster are the charismatic and team-oriented style of leadership. Such dimensions and leadership styles, such as personality orientation, institutional collectivity and gender equity, occupy the middle position among the clusters. According to the GLOBE project, members of the Eastern European Clusters do not expect that power will be distributed between the citizens, focusing on the group and family, paying attention to the power and status of the person. Compared to other clusters, they are confused and aggressive during interpersonal relationships. Despite the fact that the personality orientation of the leadership and the participatory styles are positively perceived in the clusters for clusters, the charismatic and group-oriented style of leadership gains more importance.
Problems of legal regulation of the grounds for termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employer
Authors: Musabayev M.
Published: May 2019

The presented scientific article arises from the research of theoretical and practical problems of the legal regulation associated with the grounds and the procedure for termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employer under a free market economy. The article substantiates a number of concepts, along with ideas and conclusions which are conceptual in theoretical terms and important for the legal practice. In particular, for the first time the classification of stages of development of the labor legislation regulating the procedure for termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employer is given, characteristics of each of these stages are analyzed and defined. In addition, the article summarizes the expediency of bringing the norms of the national legislation on the dismissal of employees at the initiative of the employer in accordance with the conventions and recommendations of the International Labor organization, and substantiates the need to fix the amount of severance allowance depending on the grounds for dismissal of the employee and the length of current employment. There have been formulated proposals to specify the grounds for termination of an employment contract with an employee performing educational functions. Moreover, it is suggested to introduce in the labor legislation standalone grounds for termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employer, namely: dismissal of the employee on completion of qualification testing; violation of labor protection rules by the employee, which resulted in serious consequences, including injuries and accidents; dismissal of the employee due to changes to essential labor conditions; deliberate violation by the employee of the obligation not to disclose the state, commercial and other secrets or information protected by law; provision of false information by the employee to the employer when concluding the employment contract; termination of business by the employer as an individual.

Authors: Nagorichna O. , Kapitanets S.
Published: May 2019

The problem of improving the administrative component of the fiscal service in the context of its reform is raised in the article. It is pointed out the importance and necessity of forming a team of officials capable of ensuring the productivity, feasibility and effectiveness of implementing quality solutions for solving tax and customs problems. It has been determined that the effectiveness of a management team is determined by the ability of the manager to exercise his or her authority, that is, the ability to use the existing leader's potential, as well as the desire and ability to develop it.

The types of organizations and stages of management team development are shown. The key leadership qualities and features of the manager of the management team are determined; the importance of developing the leadership potential of the head of the fiscal service in the context of institutional changes has been proved.

The authors of the study found that the work performed by a management team professionally managed by a charismatic leader could give the necessary effect and ensure the subsequent transition of the fiscal service to a new level of organizational development in the status of separate full tax and fiscal services.

THE ANALYSIS OF FORMULA IN THE LEGEND OF JAPANESE SAMURAI RUROUNI KENSHIN AND MIYAMOTO MUSHASI: POPULAR LITERARY APPROACH
Authors: Arianto Tomi , Ambalegin Ambalegin
Published: May 2019

This research examined the formulation of legendary heroic stories and popular in Japan about the story of Rurouni Kenshin or often referred to as Samurai X and Miyamoto Mushashi atu called Samurai I. The two stories are then adapted into the screen and get a positive response and even enter in star 7 in the Box Office and imdb. It’s clear that the two of the stories surged as apopular works and deserve to be analyzed by using the popular literature approach. To examine the hypothesis, researchers used the Cawelty theory with the terminology of formula/formulae. By using the Cawelty concept, this research examined the formulas used in both Japanese legend stories Rurouni Kenshin and Miyamoto Mushashi regarding similarities and differences as well as the factors that caused them to become popular according to the values and tastes of the audience. The results of the study indicated that the two action legends generally have the same action story formula as the cawelty formula, story/narrative structure, and similar motives for action. The difference from the two stories lines mainly in the way of author presents mythology and metaphor. Formula is one of the main factors that make a story like and get a positive response in the market, including consistency, originality, and the ability to attract miracles, place and style in the presentation of stories.
What Communities Want: Recognizing the Needs of Hate Crime Targets
Authors: Perry Barbara
Published: May 2019

The theme of the Third International Conference on Hate Studies, “The Pursuit of Justice: Understanding Hatred, Confronting Intolerance, Eliminating Inequality,” took me immediately to the subject matter of this article: Who is meant to be served by the subthemes of this conference, if not the targets or potential targets of hate crime? An equally important set of questions would ask: What justice looks like from the perspectives of those individuals and groups? What do hate crime victims want, and what do they need? And, what do vulnerable communities want and need?
Fighting for the Right to Be White: A Case Study in White Racial Identity
Authors: Dentice Dianne , Bugg David
Published: May 2019

Membership in extremist groups, such as White Revolution and the Ku Klux Klan, embody specific behavioral attributes. These attributes include practicing endogamy and exhibiting racial pride. There is general consensus among members as to what it means to be part of a socially constructed extremist group. There are also strong motivational factors that support maintaining in-group solidarity and dominant status. By adhering to the rules dictated by group membership, both the self and the group are uplifted based on white racial identity. The process of self-categorization for white racial activists accentuates their own physical similarities along with perceived negative physical differences among racial and ethnic groups. The result is a reinforcement of norms that favor the in-group over the out-group. Subjective belief structures, such as the superiority of whiteness and heterosexuality, legitimize the existence of a universal higher status in-group (at least in the white supremacist worldview). This project is based on ongoing field research that began in July 2009, survey data collected in May 2010, and discussion topics posted on the hate site, Stormfront.org in 2013 and 2014. These findings, among others, contribute to literature about why some people join extremist groups, adhere to racialist ideology, and believe that whites are superior to all other groups.
Uniting the Right: Anti-Immigration, Organizing, and the Legitimation of Extreme Racist Organizations
Authors: Vysotsky Stanislav
Published: May 2019

This article analyzes the use of anti-immigration rhetoric and organizing efforts by extreme rightwing racist groups to present themselves as political actors. The authors analyze this process through a case study of the Keystone State Skinheads/Keystone United, a Pennsylvania-based hate group. The authors identify the manner in which this countercultural group uses anti-immigrant rhetoric to frame itself as a political organization. White racist organizations utilize issues such as the opposition to immigration to minimize stigma associated with their beliefs. This strategy has allowed them to participate at the forefront of anti-immigration organizing over the course of the last decade. By engaging in such organizing activity, extreme groups often present themselves to a more mainstream audience as nonviolent organizations working merely to uphold immigration law. Additionally, the participation of white supremacists in the immigration debate shifts rhetoric further to the right and legitimizes expressions of racist senti- ment by mainstream political actors.
Misogyny and Marginalization in Criminal Justice Systems: Women’s Experiences in Two Post-Conflict Societies
Authors: Tunney Erin
Published: May 2019

In Northern Ireland and South Africa, two countries that are attempting to rebuild their societies after extended periods of armed conflict, women who seek redress from gender-based violence through the criminal justice system encounter barriers to justice. Such barriers emerge from misogynistic attitudes toward women that prevent police from appropriately responding to reports of sexual and domestic violence, diminish the capacity of police and court officials to empathize with rather than blame victims, and impede judges from sentencing convicted perpetrators in proportion to their crimes. Despite the striking differences between these two countries, in each society women face similar patterns of obstacle when confronting the criminal justice system. Indeed, the respective criminal justice systems provide venues through which the hatred of women intersects with the secular politics of nation-building.
Discrimination Based on “Sameness,” Not “Difference”: Re-Defining the Limits of Equality through an Israeli Case for Discrimination
Authors: Bitton Yifat
Published: May 2019

This article points to a general weakness in liberal rights discourse, and specifically in the antidiscrimination stratagem. It argues that this stratagem is of limited effectiveness due to its perception of “difference” as constituting the heart of the notion of discrimination. Reliance on “difference” in formatting discrimination fails to acknowledge discrimination held against a group within settings characterized by “sameness,” thereby rendering the antidiscrimination principle too narrow to protect some discriminated-against groups. This point is exemplified by analyzing the case of the de facto discrimination against Mizrahi Jews in Israel, or Jews of Arab/Muslim descent, who are conceptualized under a notion of “sameness” rather than “difference” within Israeli hegemony vis-a-vis the Palestinians, who figure as the ultimate “others.” Employing an interdisciplinary methodology, the argument relies on the theory of Orientalism, developed in the fields of postmodern cultural studies, and on its implementation to address Israel’s social stratifications. Fortified with this richer, contextual concept of Orientalism, the article turns to the legal sphere to attain better understanding of the constituents of discrimination as a whole and of that practiced against Mizrahim, in particular. Specifically, the analysis targets the antidiscrimination stratagem and stresses its limited effectiveness when applied from within its traditionally ahistorical, de-politicized framework. In a radical move, the article argues that to cross into the antidiscrimination discourse in an effective way, Mizrahi Jews should also embrace the “Arab” component of their own identity. This move entails two reconstructive undertakings: one in which Mizrahis’ legal identity may be re-identified as “Arab,” and a second in which discrimination against Palestinians may be reconsidered as rooted in anti-ethnic rather than in anti-national sentiments. Consequently, a new discursive “third space” will be opened for both Palestinians and Mizrahis, in which they may collaborate in articulating and contesting both shared and uniquely encountered forms of discrimination. This two-pronged critical approach to challenging discrimination in Israeli systems can benefit both groups and enrich the antidiscrimination discourse in a manner crucial to achieving a better, more just society inside Israel.

Blood on the Tongue: Reading Abjection in Nationalist Blood Libels From Nazi Germany to Hamas and the British National Party
Authors: Berry Damon T
Published: May 2019

The blood libel is usually known as the Medieval European legend about Jews killing Christians to consume their blood or otherwise use it in rituals. However, in this paper I explore more recent instances of the blood libel that have emerged in nationalist contexts. What I call the nationalist blood libel is more overtly politicized than its predecessors, as there is a relationship between the accusatory portrayals of groups signified as alien and what Arjun Appadurai in Fear of Small Numbers (2006) called an “anxiety of incompletion” inherent in the modern nation-state as a result of the political discourses of majority and minority. In this article I discuss specific instances of the nationalist blood libel in a Nazi publication and in a cartoon aired in 2010 by Hamas wherein “the Jew” is signified as an agent of abjection; of transgression and dismemberment. I also examine an example from contemporary Britain in which “the Islamist” has replaced “the Jew” in the narrative, as this subject is imagined as an existential threat to the British people and the nation. In reading these examples through Julia Kristeva’s theorization of abjection, I contend that the telling of the nationalist blood libel relates personal and communal fears about pollution and dissolution, and that this fear, though fundamentally threatening to subjectivity, nevertheless works to establish it. I therefore argue that this reveals the nationalist blood libel as a folk reification mechanism that allows the segmentation of friend/enemy camps and rationalizes anxieties along lines of protectionism, and thereby mobilizes affects into political and often violent action.
Book Reviews: Arthur Goldwag’s The New Hate: A History of Fear and Loathing on the Populist Right & Thomas R. Pegram’s One Hundred Percent American: The Rebirth and Decline of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s
Authors: Barrett-Fox Rebecca
Published: May 2019

As reported by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the number of hate groups in the United States has continually risen since 2000 in response to three factors: the election of the nation’s first African American president, economic turmoil, and undocumented immigration (Potok, 2011). While these structural changes might feel painful for those native-born white Americans who view signs of increasing pluralism as worrisome and who believe that their economic losses are due to the gains of minority groups, they are not new challenges—nor are the hate-filled responses to them new. In both One Hundred Percent American: The Rebirth and Decline of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s by Thomas R. Pegram and The New Hate: A History of Fear and Loathing on the Populist Right by Arthur Goldwag, the authors make the point that hate groups and the conspiracy theories that circulate within them are deeply rooted in American culture and that, while they are, in the details, constructions of their own times, they are also responses to problems seen as long-standing threats to American security and prosperity, responses that are consistent across time.
'Winning Bigly': Sporting Fantasties of White Male Omnipotence in the Rise of Trump and Alt Right White Supremacy
Authors: Kusz Kyle W
Published: May 2019

In this article, the author offers a critical contextual analysis that seeks to answer Giroux’s (2015) call for scholars to map and critically examine the “cultural circuits, points of connection, internalized values, discourses and pedagogies. . . responsible for both promoting and legitimating the likes of Donald Trump” (Don’t Get Distracted by the Buffoonery section, para. 1). To this end, this essay explores how the Trump candidacy and presidency, the rise of the Alt Right, and the appeal of New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, to his fans who have nicknamed him as the ‘Greatest Of All Time’ (i.e. The G.O.A.T.), are all linked by 1) the lionization of a particular performance of white masculinity as omnipotent, and 2) a desire to unapologetically revitalize white male privilege and prerogative as the unquestioned norm across American culture. The author articulates these three cultural sites together—Trump’s racial and gender performance as a politician, the alt-right’s visions of white national manhood, and cultural representations of Brady as the embodiment of white male omnipotence—to emphasize the point that the white supremacist and anti-feminist ideas expressed by Trump, his administration, and the alt-right are not just beliefs held just by a handful of white racists with ‘hate in their hearts.’Instead, these retrogressive and anti-democratic ideas about race and gender have been circulating and cross-pollinating across American film, television, and sport media (among other cultural sites) over the past decade and have primed anxious white men to perceive the Alt Right and Trump’s efforts to revitalize white male prerogative in American civic life as reasonable.
League of the South's Internet Rhetoric: Neo-Confederate Community-Building Online
Authors: Barnett Brett A
Published: May 2019

A nationwide backlash against the Confederate flag and other Confederatesymbols occurred after the deadly June 17, 2015, church shootings inCharleston, South Carolina, when images of the alleged gunman displayinga Confederate flag surfaced. This backlash sparked a reactionary movementamong pro-Confederate supporters who viewed the attacks on Confederatesymbols as an affront to their Southern heritage. Some neo-Confederategroups exploited the backlash, and the pro-Confederate sympathy it generated,as an opportunity to build their communities. This essay examineshow the neo-Confederate group League of the South (LOS) used its websiteto attract members to its community in the week before the Confederateflag’s removal from South Carolina’s state capitol on July 10, 2015. Analysisreveals LOS may have aided its community-building efforts by attemptingto foster a sense of shared identity within the pro-Confederatecommunity and employing fear-raising rhetoric relating to the backlashagainst Confederate symbols. The relevance of examining U.S.-based hategroups’ Internet rhetoric has substantially increased in recent years as theUnited States has witnessed a series of deadly mass shootings perpetratedby various extremists, some of whom were apparently motivated by rhetoricthey accessed on U.S.-based extremist sites.
The Nazis Next Door: How American Became a Safe Haven for Hitler's Men by Eric Lichtblau (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2014. 288 pg. $28.00 ISBN 978-0547669199).
Authors: Laney Monique
Published: May 2019

The Nazis Next Door is a follow-up to a breaking news story Lichtblau authored in 2010 when an unredacted version of a 600-page report chronicling the activities of the U.S. Department of Justice’s “Nazi hunting” Office of Investigations was leaked to the New York Times.2 The fact that the United States has been harboring Nazis, some of whom were war criminals, has not been news at least since the 1970s, but as Lichtblau explains in his 2010 article, the report “goes further in documenting the level of American complicity and deception,” especially the CIA’s involvement in using Nazis for postwar intelligence purposes, as Lichtblau wrote in The New York Times.
Perpetrators of Genocide: An Explanatory Model of Extraordinary Human Evil
Authors: Waller James
Published: May 2019

According to Jewish-Christian tradition, the first time that death appeared in the world, it was murder. Cain slew Abel. “Two men,” says Elie Wiesel, and “one of them became a killer.” Throughout human history, social conflict is ubiquitous. Wars erupt naturally everywhere humans are present. Since the Napoleonic Wars, we have fought an average of six international wars and six civil wars per decade. The four decades after the end of World War II saw 150 wars and only 26 days of world peace—and that does not even include the innumerable internal wars and police actions. Buried in the midst of all of our progress in the twentieth century are well over a hundred million persons who met a violent death at the hands of their fellow human beings. That is over five times the number from the nineteenth century and more than ten times the number from the eighteenth century.
Busting the Bandito Boyz: Militarism, Masculinity, and the Hunting of Undocumented Persons in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands
Authors: Castro Robert F
Published: May 2019

“Bandito heroes flourish in many cultures because they symbolize a virtually universal belief: that at times it’s necessary to break the law in order to obtain justice,” writes historian Paul Vanderwood (1992, p. xix). The idea of justice does seem to animate many of the stories associated with the borderlands’ most famous outlaws. For example, retaliatory justice appears to be at the heart of the literal violence that Joaquin Murrieta inflicted on California Anglos during the nineteenth century. Joaquin Murrieta became famous for his lightning-fast robberies and bloody assaults in California during the 1850s Gold Rush. Reportedly, Murrieta was set on his fiery path as the result of racially-tinged violence aimed at him years earlier by white residents (Irwin, 2007).
Purify and Destroy: The Political Uses of Massacre and Genocide
Authors: Baum Steven K
Published: May 2019

There is a popular movement in genocide research to portray genocide as arising from anything other than hate (e.g. Moshman, 2005). From a topdown perspective, this makes sense. After all, the case has been made that there are instrumental (e.g. land grabs) and social psychological considerations— careerism, social bonding—as well as ideological and contextual considerations that all contribute to the genocide recipe and have little to do with hate per se. Yet the current trend makes it seem as if hate crimes and old ethnic enmities do not exist.
From Hatred to Compassion: An Interview With Thupten Phelgye
Authors: Eppinga Joanie
Published: May 2019

Thupten Phelgye was born in Tibet in 1957. He remembers the chaos brought by the Chinese invasion of his country in 1959. After several failed attempts to escape that resulted in their being placed in concentration camps, Phelgye’s parents managed to travel with him to India. There Phelgye heard His Holiness the Dalai Lama explicate four lines of a sutra, an experience that changed his life. He became a monk and, after an individual audience with the Dalai Lama at the age of 17, went into isolation for five years. Since rejoining society he has worked hard to better the lot of his people and of animals, encouraging a vegetarian diet. Phelgye founded the Universal Compassion movement and now represents the Dalai Lama in the Tibetan Government-in-Exile. He spoke briefly with our editor about the transcendence of hatred at Gonzaga University on October 15, 2008.
Steven Baum’s The Psychology of Genocide: Perpetrators, Bystanders and Rescuers
Authors: Polek Jan
Published: May 2019

Baum’s work raises difficult questions, but he presents concrete solutions for the reader. The book is scholarly in intent without being pedantic. There is a liberal use of endnotes for each chapter, a wide selection of tables and figures, and a comprehensive index. It would be helpful for readers to have a general understanding of key conformity studies, but most readers will be able to follow Baum’s review of major genocidal events and his belief in the possibility of an emotionally developed world in which “rescuer qualities” will be esteemed. Certainly this text is a strong addition to the widening field of holocaust and diversity studies, and equally important to those readers committed to improving community life. It is an effective plea for citizens to move toward the “emotional higher road.”
Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070: Targeting the Other1 and Generating Discourses and Practices of Discrimination and Hate
Authors: Arrocha William
Published: May 2019

The state of Arizona, through its Senate Bill 1070, has made legal the practice of profiling as one of the key tools to regulate migration and differentiate those who are presumed to be residing in the state without legal documents. The state is encouraging xenophobia and empowering the groups with a strong anti-immigrant sentiment to become directly involved in the monitoring of such practice. History has shown us that when the state and large sectors of civil society exclude the “other” and criminalize his/her presence, hate toward the “other” is the most common result. The consequences of such a dynamic can result in an increase in racism, segregation, and an intensification of social violence and state repression. By tearing down the social and economic relationship between those who can legally reside in the state and those who are excluded, a future of a common ethos of inclusion and mutual respect is seriously jeopardized.

Reclaiming Justice and Eliminating Inequality through Compassionate Migration: The Relentless Struggle of Migrants Living in the Shadows
Authors: Arrocha William F
Published: May 2019

This article elaborates on the emerging concept of “compassionate migration” as a counter-hegemonic response to the institutions and systems that criminalize unauthorized immigration, including the assistance provided by those who aid such migrants out of a sense of compassion. In the name of human dignity, it is imperative that those who live in the shadows of United States immigration law and its enforcement system sense that social justice is a tangible possibility, and that they indeed may be able to free themselves from the structures that criminalize them and render them vulnerable to various forms of discrimination and other human rights abuses.
Filipino Amerasians: Gauging Stigmatization, Intolerance and Hatemongering in a Pluralistic Asia Pacific Society
Authors: Kutschera Peter C , Caputi Marie
Published: May 2019

Empirical and evidence-based researchers have neglected stigmatization, bias, name-calling, intolerance and even hatemongering experienced by military Filipino Amerasians and other biracial Pan Amerasian progeny who were abandoned abroad by their U.S. servicemen fathers. This condi- tion persists in the Philippines and has been reliably documented in other East and Southeast Asian nation-states, such as Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. A relatively recent multiple-case study investigating psychosocial risk and mental health among Amerasians in Angeles, Pampanga, site of the former Clark Air Base, substantiated long-reported anecdotal claims that Anglo (White) and particularly African (Black) Amerasians were targets of victimization and traumatized by verbal harassment, hate, and occasional violence by mainstream Filipino natives or foreigners. These marginalized Amerasians faced stigmatization and ridicule because of skin color and pig- ment differences, uncommon facial features, hair texture variances and dif- ferential personal demeanors. Even more severe criticism was against Africans and Anglos because of the unproven, stereotypical view that the vast majority of Amerasian mothers were sex workers. For this reason, it was held that many servicemen rejected these children. The notion that within a pluralistic, multiracial society Filipino Amerasians experienced less discrimination and prejudice than might be expected within a more racially homogenous in part set the stage for the U.S. Citizen and Immigra- tion Services to diminish easements for Amerasians. In contrast to other nation-states where Amerasians reside (e.g., South Korea, Vietnam, Thai- land, and Cambodia), the belief is that stigmatization and its correlates are higher. However, these faulty conclusions take on exceptional geopolitical sensitivity in the realities that marginalized Amerasians face in the Philip- pines, a former U.S. colony and commonwealth.
Film Review: S. Leo Chiang’s Mr. Cao Goes to Washington
Authors: Maucione Jessica
Published: May 2019

S. Leo Chiang’s documentary-biopic, Mr. Cao Goes to Washington, opens in New Orleans in 2010 as Joseph Cao closes out his two years in the U.S. House of Representatives and hopes desperately but doubtfully for re-election—a situation Cao likens to “waiting to see a dentist before you get your teeth pulled out.” Part character study and part exposé of the current state of partisan politics in Congress, the film tells the story of Cao’s 2008 victory—the biggest upset of the 2008 Congressional elections—and his two years of service. During his term, Congressman Cao goes from enthu- siastic idealist to a man whose face registers the alarm of one who has mistakenly but irreversibly offered himself up to the machinations of a sadistic dentist.

Book Review: Joseph G. Bock’s The Technology of Nonviolence: Social Media and Violence Prevention
Authors: Branson Tyler
Published: May 2019

In the wake of the 2009-2012 Arab Spring protests—the first large- scale wave of Arab demonstrations in the Internet age—many pondered the significance of the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the movement. While the actual impact of technology in the Arab Spring is contested (Morozov, 2012), we can nevertheless tentatively note that the examples of technology being used throughout the Arab Spring are at the very least compelling for the field of peacebuilding, including vio- lence prevention. In this unique cultural and technological contemporary moment, scholars who study violence should be asking themselves: in socially and politically tumultuous places, can technology predict or even be used to prevent violence?

¿Auge o decadencia del Derecho Internacional Público?
Authors: Hernández González Ninoska Guillermina
Published: May 2019

El propósito de este artículo, fue analizar el estatus actual del Derecho Internacional Público, (DIP) y el cumplimiento de las normas de conducta entre los diferentes sujetos de derecho, además de demostrar que no es el DIP el que se encuentra en decadencia, sino, que es la debacle de sus sujetos, los hombres que en momentos históricos son los encargados de articular y mover las piezas, en ese gran conglomerado denominado Comunidad Internacional. Se ubicó bajo paradigma cualitativo, de nivel descriptivo, utilizando como técnica para la obtención de la información, la revisión documental y la hermenéutica como actividadinterpretativa de los hechos; de tal forma que, se compiló información relacionada al Derecho Internacional Público, comportamiento humano frente al uso, manejo y aplicación de las normas, para finalmente, realizar el respectivo análisis hermenéutico, relacionando las normas de conducta humana, con las normas del DIP. La  investigación determinó, que no es el Derecho Internacional Público el que se encuentra en crisis o decadencia en el decir de sus negadores, sino porel contrario, en la medida que surgen contradicciones en la aplicación de las normas en la comunidad internacional, el DIP se fortalece, generando normas de control interno.

bulunan bilginin farkındalığı önem taşımaktadır. Bu kapsamda ortaokul
öğrencilerinin internette buldukları bilgilerin farkındalıkları
araştırılmıştır. 200 ortaokul öğrencisinin katılımı ile gerçekleştirilen
araştırmada, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen 33 maddelik anket
kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda ise öğrencilerin internette buldukları
bilgilerin kısmen farkında oldukları, bunun yerine daha çok ödevi bitirme telaşında
oldukları, bilginin güvenirliği ve doğruluğu ile bilginin kontrolü ve kullanımı
açısından farklı konulara önem verdikleri ve stratejiler izledikleri
görülmüştür. Ayrıca internetteki bilgiye yönelik farkındalıkları cinsiyet ve
evlerinde internet bulunmasına göre farklılaşmazken, internette ortalama
geçirilen süreye göre değişmektedir. Bu değişimde 60 dakika ve üzerinde
ortalama ile internette süre geçirenlerin daha az farkındalığa sahip olması
şeklinde olmuştur.
Okul Müdürlerinin Liderlik Stillerinin Çeşitli Değişkenler Açısından İncelenmesi
Authors: KAVRAYICI Ceyhun
Published: May 2019

Bu çalışmada öğretmenlerin görüşlerine göre okul müdürlerinin liderlik stillerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nicel araştırma olarak desenlenen çalışmada tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada Akan, Yıldırım ve Yalçın (2014) tarafından geliştirilen “Okul Müdürleri Liderlik Stilleri Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştrmanın evrenini Eskişehir ili Tepebaşı ilçesinde 2016-2017 eğitim öğretim yılında devlet okullarında görev yapan 3200 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örnekleminin belirlenmesinde olasılık temelli örnekleme yöntemlerinden oranlı tabaka örnekleme tekniği kullanılmış ve araştırmaya 400 sınıf branş ve meslek dersi öğretmeni katılmıştır. Araştırmada, yüzde, frekans, standart sapma ve aritmetik ortalamadan yararlanılmıştır. Gruplar arasındaki farklılıkların belirlenmesi amacıyla ANOVA ve t-testinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada verilerin çözümlenmesiyle elde edilen sonuçlar müdürlerin sürdürümcü liderlik stillerini yüksek, dönüşümcü ve serbest bırakıcı liderlik stillerini de orta düzeyde sergilediklerini göstermektedir. Okul müdürlerinin liderlik stilleri cinsiyet ve okul türü değişkenleri bağlamında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık göstermezken, serbest bırakıcı liderlik boyutunda branş değişkeni bağlamında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Regards sur l’oeuvre scientifique de Georges Le Rider
Authors: de Callataÿ François
Published: May 2019

Cette étude considère les travaux de Georges Le Rider sous plusieurs angles. Un modèle de clarté et de prudence, Georges Le Rider aura beaucoup plus publié sur les monnaies grecques que les collègues de sa génération, alors même que son mandat d’administrateur de la Bibliothèque nationale (1975-1981) réduisit fortement un temps sa productivité. On est aussi frappé par la cohérence d’une oeuvre qui n’a cessé de se développer, passant de la publication de documents (pièces rares ou trésors) aux larges thèmes d’histoire monétaire et financière, pour culminer dans une ambitieuse trilogie qui dresse le panorama sinon complet du moins le plus large qui soit du phénomène monétaire en Grèce ancienne. Par delà son insistance sur le profit comme moteur des frappes, Georges Le Rider offre toujours un exemple maximal de probité intellectuelle.
Phoroi et dôra chez les Thraces
Authors: Rufin Solas Aliénor
Published: May 2019

The distinction between dôra and phoroi among the Thracians is variously interpreted. It is generally assumed that in the great Odrysian kingdom of the 5th century BC a system of informal payments, in non-monetary form (dôra), coexisted with a more institutionalized one (phoros), settled in coins. This binary perception, as well as the one making these two forms of takings the same indistinct category, are being questioned through the review of a set of numismatic, literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources. The case of the Greek cities paying dôra and phoroi to kings of the inner Thrace in the 4th and 3rd century BC helps clarifying the distinction between these two categories of payments in our sources.
Des écus « de Flandre » aux « Caramboles ». Circulation et dénomination d’une pièce française dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux (1690-1810)
Authors: Petit Pierre
Published: May 2019

Émis par Louis XIV à partir de 1685 pour circuler dans les «pays conquis » , les écus «de Flandre » furent dès 1690 reconnus parmi les espèces ayant cours dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux, où ils restèrent en circulation jusqu’en 1810 – alors qu’ils furent démonétisés dès 1710 en Flandre française. L’analyse d’ordonnances et d’almanachs rédigés aux Pays-Bas permet de mieux comprendre cette adoption à la fois précoce et longue, liée notamment aux occupations militaires et aux carences de numéraire. Elle permet aussi de recenser les appellations successives données à ce monnayage, dont celle de «cara(m)bole » , attestée dès 1723 et dont l’étymologie la plus probable remonte à l’espagnol carambola (jeu de billard, tromperie).
Un trésor de monnaies musulmanes de la région d’Alep (XIIe-XIIIe siècles)
Authors: Albachkami Abdulsalam

Land use, water management
Authors: Nagy János
Published: May 2019

Due to the prognosed population increase to 9.2 billion people by 2050, the world’s crop production does not have any other chance than to increase production. This demand is a huge challenge for agriculture. Based on the forecasts, the growth rate of production of the main cereals will decrease as a result of the effect of soil, water, the increasing fuel and fertiliser prices and the impacts of climate change. Methods ensuring sustainability have to be preferred. Precision agriculture is the most effective method of crop production. We have to apply minimum cultivation in order to protect the soil surface, maintain its moisture content and increase its water reception ability. In addition to the localised use of fertiliser, sowing seed, irrigation and pesticides, it is also important to apply them in a targeted way on the basis of plot imaging. The use of the new technology results in significant cost saving and it could also reduce environmental load.
Dupuytren’s disease: using keystone techniques to improve vascular dynamics in fasciectomy
Authors: Behan Felix
Published: May 2019

Background: Palmar defects arising from surgical correction for Dupuytren’s disease can be surgically corrected using skin grafts. This article describes the applications of keystone principles as an alternative to John Hueston’s firebreak graft, popularised in the mid-1980s.
Method: In 2003, I introduced the principle of a fenestrated, full-thickness graft to optimise graft-take and expedite healing, offering an alternative for the management of palmar defects created by surgical release.
Results: The combination of reliable hypervascularity with a pain-free postoperative phase, characteristic of KPIF, ensures an easy recovery with early commencement of hand therapy. With minimal vascular complications (apart from clinical cases where diabetes and smoking are factors) the overall surgical outcome gives an aesthetic appearance matching surrounding tissues.
Conclusion: Island flaps based on the keystone principle improve vascularity resulting in minimal complications with healing. Recurrence of Dupuytren’s disease following this technique has not been observed to date.
Devil's advocate
Authors: Lee Mark , Ashton Mark
Published: May 2019

Is our speciality vulnerable to "groupthink"? Probably so. We are a relatively small and cohesive group, from similar backgrounds, who believe in our own inherent morality.
It is important to remember that some of the techniques we are using today may be modified or even totally reversed in time and so it is imperative that we, as a specialty, continually reflect on what we do. We must all challenge accepted dogma. We must allow those with dissenting opinions to speak up.
Valid advances and new techniques are able to withstand questioning and o win over even the most vocal critics. It is not the act of questioning which is at fault. Indeed, the questioning of new and established surgical dogma is integral to any worthwhile scientific discussion. Hopefully this journal can in some way be our specialty’s advocatus diaboli.
Thoracic osteomyelitis secondary to a complicated digital mucous cyst infection: a case report
Authors: Nowicki Jake L , Raymond Andrew , Griffin Phillip A
Published: May 2019

Since the first description by Hyde in 1883,1 the pathogenesis and clinical features of digital mucous (DM) cysts, as well as treatment options, have been well described in the literature.2 Complications associated with surgical treatment include cyst recurrence, loss of range of motion of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, joint stiffness, post-surgical infection and nail dystrophies.3 Digital mucous cyst infection prior to treatment is not well documented. This report describes a complicated case of a DM cyst infection upon presentation with subsequent development of DIP joint septic arthritis, bacteremia and thoracic spinal osteomyelitis.
