Narcissistic Self-Beliefs
Authors: Freund Vanessa Lea , Hoedemakers Charlotte , Peeters Frenk , lobbestael jill
Published: October 2023

Individuals with narcissistic traits tend to be put under one umbrella term, where they are defined by a high self-conviction and an unawareness of their damaging behaviour. However, we may have gotten our wires crossed when colloquially thinking that all narcissists are similar. To gain an understanding of the self-image of individuals with elevated grandiose and vulnerable narcissistic traits, we investigated the narcissistic subcomponents and both the content (i.e., agentic, communal, positive/negative), and the form (i.e., discrepancies between the actual-, imposed-, ideal-, and unwanted-self) of self-beliefs. Participants (N=203, Mage=22.72, 68.5% female) completed narcissism questionnaires and a self-belief interview. The results indicated an unapologetic awareness of unsociable attributes within the grandiose exploitativeness/entitlement subcomponent. Leadership/authority related to aiming for personal success at the possible expansive of interpersonally beneficial behaviour, self-absorption/self-admiration to employing two different standards for social behaviour to the self and others, and superiority/arrogance demonstrated a positive personal view of oneself. Within the vulnerable narcissistic subcomponents, oversensitivity to judgement related to personal (e.g., lazy) and egocentrism to interpersonal shortcomings. Only oversensitivity to judgement showed a discrepancy between how one is and how one would ideally like to be. Overall, the grandiose focus was primarily on getting ahead of rather than getting along with others and the vulnerable focus was on negative self-beliefs.

Effectiveness of group cognitive behavioral intervention in reducing test anxiety among psychology undergraduates in Kathmandu, Nepal
Authors: Bhatta Khem Raj , Shakya Suraj , Luitel Nagendra Prasad , Rai Bijay
Published: October 2023

Background: High test anxiety negatively impacts students, affecting academic performance, well-being, focus, and retention rates. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a promising approach to reducing test anxiety, and we aimed to assess the effectiveness of group-based CBT in reducing test anxiety among undergraduate students.
Material and Method: This experimental, independent two-group design enrolled 80 test-anxious participants, randomly assigning them to a control or intervention group (40 participants each). Westside Test Anxiety Scale was the primary outcome measure, and participant's feedback was collected. The intervention group received ten sessions of group-based CBT. Baseline and endline data were analyzed, and effect size was reported.
Results: Participant feedback was analyzed qualitatively. The intervention group demonstrated 16% reduction in test anxiety score from their baseline, while the control group showed only 5.54% reduction from their baseline. In contrast, the control group showed a 2-point reduction, representing a 5.54% decrease. This difference was statistically significant (effect size= -0.53), supporting moderate effectiveness. Further, scores in specific test anxiety areas, such as worry about forgetting during the study and performance after exams, showed notable improvement. Participant feedback highlighted improved stress management, self-awareness, and understanding of emotions. Suggestions incorporating visual aids and increasing interactivity for the future.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates utility of group-based CBT in reducing test anxiety among undergraduate students. A larger scale randomized controlled trial is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of group CBT in a larger population, and future studies can focus on examining the effect of group CBT delivered by non-specialists in a broader population.
Anti-Blackness and the Thieving, Gifting, and Owning of Scholarship
Authors: George Sneha
Published: October 2023

Recently, it has become a common notion that the revolutionary scholar should have a relationship of theft with the university, which draws from Fred Moten and Stefano Harney and others. This paper challenges this relationship as revolutionary by stating, relationships of theft already exist in the university as seen amongst cheaters, an embodiment that is always already deemed criminal in the university.This article examines theft as it takes place in the politics of plagiarism, and cheating as two case studies that demonstrate that theft itself requires the facilitation of anti-Black property logics. In the examination of both moments, plagiarism and cheating, it is evident that the university subject’s relationship to property and ownership dictates which university subjects can steal and indeed force “mobility, and security” for themselves and their communities, and which university subjects and communities are perpetually stolen from, never fully having ownership over property. Assigning theft as a task only expands the role of the scholar, and by extension the university, both of which only exist to “violently extract” ( Kim, 2017 ) the knowledge and resources that is to be stolen.

Authors: Dakal Nataliia , Anikeienko Larysa , Bilokon Viktor
Published: October 2023

In the practice of physical education, large number of various physical exercises are used, which differ from each other in both form and content.

The content of physical exercise is formed, on the one hand, by all those movements and operations that are included in one or another exercise, and, on the other hand, by those complex and multifaceted processes that occur in the body during exercise. They can be considered in many aspects: psychological, physiological, biomechanical, biochemical, etc.

The article defines the influence of the means used during physical exertion on the development of physical qualities of students of higher education institutions. It was found that during the period of distance learning, a sharp decrease in the level of physical fitness of higher education students is observed. In the course of the research, theoretical methods, analysis and generalization of methodological, sports-research and educational-methodical literature were used, the level of development of physical qualities of the participants of the educational process in the conditions of online education was revealed; surveying teachers and students of higher education institutions to find out their motivational priorities in learning and imparting knowledge in the absence of face-to-face educational process.

It has been established that distance learning has a negative effect on the development of physical qualities.

Published: October 2023

The article presents the concept of life values as a way of attitude of people belonging to different age and social groups to a healthy lifestyle. Regardless of the individual priorities of each person, the following are common for most: family, friendship, material well-being, career, health, creativity, self-development, and spirituality.

It was determined that for most people, the concept of life values includes relationships with loved ones, harmony, health and beauty, both external and internal, and with age the vector changes in the direction of spiritual values and recreation, but the general understanding of values remains constant.

It has been established that physical education and sports are important in the formation of a healthy lifestyle of a person, spiritual and physical development, where the rejection of bad habits is a prerequisite for a healthy lifestyle.

The question of “free time” requires a more conscious attitude to its planning and filling. The opportunity to think about the content of one's own free time led to an understanding of the unconscious and uncontrolled use of time.
The features of the special physical training of the tennis players
Authors: Bakanova Oleksandra
Published: October 2023

The physical qualities are individual aspects of a person's motor capabilities. The following physical qualities are distinguished: strength, speed, endurance, flexibility and agility. There is a close relationship between them. In the sports training, physical training plays an important role, as it is aimed at developing the physical qualities necessary to achieve success in the chosen sport. The high level of the physical development is the foundation on which sports training is based and is one of the components of the achieving high sports results. The tennis, like any sport, has specific characteristics. A tennis player must be fast, but the speed of his actions is different from that of a sprinter; enduring, but not the endurance of a marathon runner. He must have strength, but it is not the strength that a weightlifter needs; he must be agile and flexible, but not like a gymnast or acrobat.Виявити специфічні особливості гри в теніс необхідно для того, щоб розвивати всі фізичні якості необхідні для досягнення успіху саме в цьому виді спорту. Objective of the study: to reveal the peculiarities of special physical training of tennis players. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalisation of scientific and methodological literature. Results of the study. A general description of physical qualities is given. The methods and means of improving the level of physical fitness in tennis players are presented. Conclusions. In order to achieve high sports results, the level of physical fitness of a sportsman in accordance with the peculiarities of sports specialisation is of primary importance. For the successful game activity of tennis players it is necessary to develop all physical qualities, because only their combination will allow to solve various game tasks qualitatively. Prospects for further research: selection of means and methods for improving tennis players' physical fitness.

Published: October 2023

Many researchers in the program of physiological examination of swimmers, related to the determination of their working capacity and its physiological correlates, include both an assessment of the state of rest and reactions to physical exertion of various strengths. It is very desirable to be able to have indicators of the level of working capacity already on the basis of indicators of rest (criteria of working ability based on indicators of rest). The purpose of our study was to determine which of the functional indicators of the wedge-orthostatic test can be physiological correlates of work capacity. Male swimmers (29 people) aged 17-23 took part in the experiment, sports qualification - KMS and MS. The paper presents the materials obtained when athletes specializing in swimming performed an active wedge-orthostatic test and step-increasing load on a treadmill. With the help of correlation analysis, it was established that the values of heart rate and blood pressure were the most informative for the possibility of performing a large amount of work. in a sitting position; AT swing in a standing position in the initial part of the test. Heart rate values during work depend on the functional reserve of the athlete's body, which is expressed in low heart rate values during the wedge-orthostatic test and its load based on the amount of carbon dioxide released. The level of energy supply of the work depends on the adrenergic background of rest and the load of the wedge-orthostatic test. Based on the obtained results of the reaction to the proposed test, it is possible to predict the adaptation of the athletes' body to physical exertion.

Published: October 2023

The article presents materials and arguments that prove the relevance of assessing the state of health of student youth by studying the level of functional reserve capabilities of the cardiovascular system. The list of main reasons and prerequisites for the emergence of this system is identified. Normative and legal documents, medical and pedagogical studies, which contribute to the objective approach to solving the issue of health assessment, are established.

The following scientific research methods were used to implement the goals of the study: analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical observation, medical examination, and statistical data processing.

During the experiment, the dynamics of the indicators of the Ruffier sample for the assessment of the cardiovascular system and their inconsistency were determined, and it turned out that the students of the physical rehabilitation group had a "low" result of 39.2%, and "below average" result of 34.8%. Moreover, "low" and "below average" indicators were identified among the students with the main diseases of functional systems, such as musculoskeletal and central nervous systems.

To confirm the results obtained, other alternative approaches to the study of the level of functional reserve capabilities of the cardiovascular system, such as the Ruffier test and the Ruffier-Dickson index, were used. When using the Ruffier test, the dynamics were similar to the ones observed using the Ruffier sample method. Moreover, the number of students of the main group has "unsatisfactory" indicators – 50,1%, while physical rehabilitation group – 26,1%. But the number of students with a "satisfactory" indicator increased, both in the main group 40.1% and in physical rehabilitation group – 56,5%.

When analyzing the results of the Ruffier sample method, the Ruffier-Dickon index, and the Ruffier test, a discrepancy is observed, which in turn leads to the unreasonable division of students into PE group, as well as indicates the emergence of individuals with unsatisfactory state of health in higher education institutions.

Taking into account the current state of modernization of weapons, equipment, improvement of forms and methods of conducting combat operations and comprehensive provision of units of the Ukrainian forces in accordance with NATO standards (world standards), it is urgent to make changes to the existing programs of professional education of future officers, in particular, programs of special physical training. In this work, we conducted a comparative analysis of the assessment of the importance of the physical qualities of military personnel according to physical training and sports instructors and students of participants of professional development courses. 29 physical training and sports instructors and 155 participants of professional development courses of the Vasyl Vyshyvany training center of the National Guard of Ukraine participated in the study. We found that the opinions of physical training and sports instructors and participants of professional development courses were similar for almost all qualities, the differences in the priority of physical qualities were in the time of reaction to a choice, the time of a simple reaction to a visual stimulus, and the ability to maintain statistical equilibrium (р<0.05). A survey of physical training and sports instructors showed that the most important physical qualities for military personnel are the time of a simple reaction to a visual stimulus (4.59±0.74 points), the ability to maintain statistical balance (4.52±0.63 points) and coordination of movements (4.48±0.63 points). For the participants of professional development courses, coordination of movements was the most important (4.34±0.75 points), strength endurance (4.29±0.75 points), speed (4.28±0.84 points) and speed strength (4.28±0.77 points).

Authors:   Universidad de Colima, Ordónez Trujillo Karen Fabiola , Orozco Plascencia José Manuel ,   Universidad de Colima
Published: October 2023

El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar los retos que enfrentan los productores de limón del estado de Colima, ante el proceso de transición agroecológica que se impulsa en la entidad. Tales productores se encuentran articulados a una cadena agroindustrial de mediano y largo alcance, cuya operación sigue una lógica de mercado, por lo que su transición a nuevas formas de producción orientadas a la sustentabilidad implica otro tipo de dinámicas, tensiones y retos. El estudio parte del enfoque de Investigación-Acción-Participativa (IAP), que incluyó recorridos de campo, talleres participativos, foros y entrevistas a profundidad a actores clave: productores, autoridades, miembros del sistema producto limón, sociedad civil e investigadores, y se complementó con la consulta bibliográfica y bases de datos del sector. El estudio se deriva de la investigación “Fortalecimiento del sistema socio-organizacional de los productores agrícolas de limón y café para la transición agroecológica en el estado de Colima, México”, misma que se desarrolla en el marco de una estancia posdoctoral académica realizada en la Universidad de Colima. Se encontró que los productores son conscientes de las repercusiones de la agricultura convencional, orientada al mercado y con una fuerte dependencia hacia los agroquímicos. No obstante, tienen incertidumbre sobre la factibilidad, principalmente económica, de las alternativas agroecológicas hasta ahora impulsadas. Se concluye que la transición agroecológica implica un cambio social complejo desde diferentes aristas, una transformación institucional y un fuerte respaldo estatal a partir del diseño de mecanismos estructurales integrales que fortalezcan las acciones hasta ahora emprendidas por los agentes sociales.

La producción anual del cultivo de frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) en México se reduce principalmente por enfermedades y plagas. Una alternativa de control biológico es el empleo de esporas de Metarhizium anisopliae por su capacidad de colonizar la rizosfera, pero su efectividad disminuye por la sensibilidad a factores ambientales. Por tanto, el objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el potencial de biocontrol de una formulación de alginato con esporas de M. anisopliae en el cultivo de frijol infectado con Fusarium. Se planteó un diseño experimental completamente al azar, utilizando plantas sanas como control, también se inocularon de plantas con una suspensión de Fusarium oxysporum en el sustrato y adicionalmente a una parte de estas se les depositó en la base del tallo 1 g de cápsulas de alginato que contenían esporas de M. anisopliae por planta, se midieron los parámetros morfométricos cada 8 días durante 8 semanas, así como la aparición de síntomas de fusariosis. Tras analizar los datos obtenidos se observó que hubo diferencias significativas a los 64 días después de la inoculación (ddi) siendo mayor el peso seco foliar y de raíces, así como la longitud de raíz en las plantas donde hubo interacción de Fusarium y las esporas encapsuladas de Metarhizium, esto sugiere que la presencia de ambos microorganismos afectó de forma positiva el metabolismo de las plantas, superando los beneficios de Metarhizium como promotor de crecimiento. Además, se observó que el porcentaje de incidencia en la raíz disminuyó con el tratamiento 4 sin presentar diferencia significativa de 32 a 64 ddi con valores similares al tratamiento 3 a los 16 días. Se concluyó que la aplicación de esporas encapsuladas de M. anisopliae es una opción viable para reducir el efecto del marchitamiento por Fusarium en el cultivo de frijol.

El asma es una enfermedad crónica cuya sintomatología incluye la dificultad respiratoria, que se debe a la restricción del flujo de aire. Esto se atribuye a la contracción del músculo liso bronquial por diversos mediadores inflamatorios. Desafortunadamente, en la mayoría de los pacientes las terapias existentes no han logrado un control adecuado de la sintomatología, por lo que es necesaria la búsqueda de nuevas opciones. Hyptis suaveolens es utilizada en el estado de Chiapas, México, para tratar el asma, sin embargo, esta actividad no ha sido corroborada científicamente. Por lo que el objetivo de la presente contribución fue determinar la actividad relajante de Hyptis suaveolens en el modelo de anillos aislados de tráquea de cobayo. Los extractos de hexano, diclorometano y metanol de la planta se prepararon por maceración. El extracto de mayor actividad se separó por cromatografía en columna para encontrar la fracción más activa. Se determinó la participación de los receptores β2 adrenérgicos y muscarínicos, mediante curvas concentración-respuesta a partir de los siguientes tratamientos: la subfracción activa de Hyptis suaveolens (56-177 µg/mL) e isoproterenol (3-170 µM) en ausencia y presencia de propranolol (0.3 µM), y carbacol (1x10-16-0.01 M) en ausencia y presencia de la subfracción activa (100 y 177 µg/mL) o de atropina (0.3 y 3 µM). El extracto de diclorometano fue el más activo (p<0.05), y su subfracción más activa (F4´) tuvo una CE50 de 91.19 ± 1.83 µg/mL. El efecto relajante de F4´ no fue inhibido por propranolol. F4´ se comportó como un antagonista competitivo de los receptores muscarínicos (p<0.01). En conclusión, Hyptis suaveolens ejerce actividad relajante sobre anillos aislados de tráquea de cobayo. Una subfracción activa del extracto de diclorometano actuó como antagonista competitivo sobre los receptores muscarínicos, pero los receptores β2 adrenérgicos no participaron en su mecanismo de acción.

Серед патологічних процесів, які характерні для спортсменів, основними є застудні захворювання та враження ЛОР-органів. У виникненні та перебігу патологічних процесів, які зумовлені згаданими захворюваннями, значну роль відіграють складові системного імунітету: клітинна і гуморальна ланки та неспецифічна ланка. Дослідження залежності захворюваності від рівня майстерності спортсмена показало, що респіраторні інфекції зустрічаються на багато частіше у майстрів та кандидатів в майстри спорту ніж у спортсменів нижчої кваліфікації; наявність захворюваності спостерігається цілий рік з мінімумом в період липень-вересень.Фактори, які впливають на стан імунної системи спортсменів: вік, кваліфікація спортсмена, спеціалізація (вид спорту), тренувальний цикл. Науковими дослідженнями доведено, що спортсмени страждають на різні ступені імунодефіциту.Метою нашого дослідження є вивчення імунологічних показників у спортсменів різного рівня спортивної підготовки ігрових видів спорту, на прикладі футболістів та гандболістів.Дослідження проводилося на групі волонтерів віком від 18–25 років, яку було поділено на дві групи. Першу групу контроль склали практично здорові люди – чоловіки 30 осіб. Друга група була дослідницькою, її склали 30 спортсменів ігровихвидів спорту.Досліджувалися наступні показники: кількість лейкоцитів, лейкоцитарна формула, кількості нейтрофілів, моноцитів, лімфоцитів, Т-лімфоцитів всіх популяцій і В-лімфоцитів за методикою моноклональних антитіл (CD3+, CD22+, CD4+,CD8+), концентрацію циркулюючих імунних комплексів (ЦІК) та Ig A, Ig M, Ig G.У другій групі виявили достовірне зменшення абсолютної кількості Т-лімфоцитів (СD3+), щодо контрольної групи. Т-лімфопенія була обумовлена зменшенням кількості Т-хелперів/індукторів (СD4+) (р<0,05) і Т-супресорів/цитотоксичних(СD8+) (р<0,05), спостерігалося достовірне зниження IgG і IgМ, підвищення загальної кількісті (ЦІК) за рахунок числа дрібномолекулярних комплексів (р <0,05).У спортсменів різного рівня підготовки ігрових видів спорту в період тренувального піку спостерігається дисфункція клітинної ланки системного імунітету
ALIENATING LABOUR
Authors: Bartha Eszter
Published: October 2023

The Communist Party dictatorships in Hungary and East Germany sought to win over the “masses” with promises of providing for ever-increasing levels of consumption. This policy—successful at the outset—in the long-term proved to be detrimental for the regimes because it shifted working class political consciousness to the right while it effectively excluded leftist alternatives from the public sphere. This book argues that this policy can provide the key to understanding of the collapse of the regimes. It examines the case studies of two large factories, Carl Zeiss Jena (East Germany) and Rába in Győr (Hungary), and demonstrates how the study of the formation of the relationship between the workers’ state and the industrial working class can offer illuminating insights into the important issue of the legitimacy (and its eventual loss) of Communist regimes.
BEING BEDOUIN AROUND PETRA
Authors: Bille Mikkel
Published: October 2023

Petra, Jordan became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, and the semi-nomadic Bedouin inhabiting the area were resettled as a consequence. The Bedouin themselves paradoxically became UNESCO Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2005 for the way in which their oral traditions and everyday lives relate to the landscape they no longer live in. Being Bedouin Around Petra asks: How could this happen? And what does it mean to be Bedouin when tourism, heritage protection, national discourse, an Islamic Revival and even New Age spiritualism lay competing claims to the past in the present?

FRIENDSHIP WITHOUT BORDERS
Authors: Leask Phil
Published: October 2023

Across half a century, from the division of Germany through the end of the Cold War, a cohort of thirty women from the small German town of Schönebeck in what used to be the GDR circulated among themselves a remarkable collective archive of their lives: a Rundbrief, or bulletin, containing hundreds of letters and photographs. This book draws on that unprecedented resource, complemented by a set of interviews, to paint a rich portrait of “ordinary” life in postwar Germany. It shows how these women—whether reflecting on their experiences as Nazi-era schoolchildren or witnessing reunification—were united by their complex interactions with official power and their commitment to sustaining a shared German identity as they made the most of their everyday lives in both the GDR and the Federal Republic.

Published: October 2023

Since the Iraq war, the Middle East has been in continuous upheaval, resulting in the displacement of millions of people. Arriving from Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, and Syria in other parts of the world, the refugees show remarkable resilience and creativity amidst profound adversity. Through careful ethnography, this book vividly illustrates how refugees navigate regimes of exclusion, including cumbersome bureaucracies, financial insecurities, medical challenges, vilifying stereotypes, and threats of violence. The collection bears witness to their struggles, while also highlighting their aspirations for safety, settlement, and social inclusion in their host societies and new homes.

Published: October 2023

How much do we really know about our parents’ lives? What secrets lie in plain sight? This is the true story of hidden love within a small circle of some of the most acclaimed anthropologists of the 20th century. Told by Rosemary and Raymond Firth's son, and the daughter of Celia and Edmund Leach, the man Rosemary loved all her life, this part love-story, part biography, part social history is the tale of a highly influential circle of social anthropologists in Britain from the 1930s, through the Second World War, to the end of the century. The book explores their early influences, their insecurities, their flaws, struggles and achievements. It is a story of passion and commitment, but also of deceit and betrayal, including the inexplicable disappearance, death and alleged murder of a very close friend. It also narrates Rosemary's struggles for emotional and intellectual independence in the face of societal expectations of women and her own guilt, loss and self-doubt.
ALFRED CORT HADDON
Authors: Walsh Ciarán
Published: October 2023

An innovative account of one of the least-understood characters in the history of anthropology. Using previously overlooked, primary sources Ciarán Walsh argues that Haddon, the grandson of anti-slavery activists, set out to revolutionize anthropology in the 1890s in association with a network of anarcho-utopian activists and philosophers. He regards most of what has been written about Haddon in the past as a form of disciplinary folklore shaped by a theory of scientific revolutions. The main action takes place in Ireland, where Haddon adopted the persona of a very English savage in a new form of performed photo-ethnography that constituted a singularly modernist achievement in anthropology.
THE SPIRIT OF MATTER
Authors: Pels Peter
Published: October 2023

A range of meaningful objects—exhibits of human remains or live people, fetishes, objects in a Catholic Museum, exotic photographs, commodities, and computers—demonstrate a subordinate modern consciousness about powerful objects and their ‘life’. The Spirit of Matter discusses these objects that move people emotionally but whose existence is often denied by modern wishful thinking of ‘mind over matter’. It traces this mindset back to Protestant Christian influences that were secularized in the course of modern and colonial history.
EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCES
Authors: Rethmann Petra , Wulff Helena
Published: October 2023

Looking at encounters that can puncture or jolt us, this volume uses art as a lens through which to register and understand exceptional experiences. The volume also includes the fieldworker’s experience of unexpected events that can lead to key understandings, as well as revelatory moments that happen during artistic creation and while looking at art. By exploring exceptional experiences through art, the volume asks probing questions for anthropology. In recognizing that art is all-encompassing – including, as it does, narrative, performance, dance and images – Exceptional Experiences situates itself within a number of conversations on methodological and conceptual issues in anthropology and beyond.
BEYOND THE SOCIAL CONTRACT
Authors: Makovicky Nicolette , Smith Robin
Published: October 2023

Tax and taxation are conventionally understood as the embodiment of social contract. This ground-breaking collection of essays challenges this truism, examining what tax might tell us about the limits of social-contract thinking. The contributors shed light on contemporary fiscal structures and public debates about the moralities, practices, and imaginaries of tax systems, using tax to explore the nature of citizenship, personal freedom, and moral and economic value. Their ethnographically grounded accounts show how taxation may be influenced by spaces of fiscal sovereignty that exist outside or alongside the state, taking various forms, from alternative religious communities to economic collectives.

BETWEEN THE FOREST AND THE ROAD
Authors: Bravo Díaz Andrea
Published: October 2023

During the past two decades Ecuadorians have engaged in a national debate around Buen Vivir (living well). This ethnography discusses one of the ways in which people experience well-being or aspire to live well in Ecuadorian Amazonia. Waponi Kewemonipa (living well) is a Waorani notion that embraces ideas of good conviviality, health and certain ecological relations. For the Waorani living along the oil roads, living well has taken many pathways. Notably, they have developed new spatial organizations as they move between several houses, and navigate between the economy of the market and the economy of the forest.
ASSEMBLING FINANCIALISATION
Authors: Langford Zannie
Published: October 2023

Farmers, Indigenous organisations, government and private-sector intermediaries from remote Northern Australia often negotiate with private finance capital to gain funds for agricultural development.The concept of financialisation is used to explore the drivers and effects of agrifood restructuring in the area, while assemblage theory is applied to position local actors as potential sites of power in negotiating connections between local spaces and global finance. This book demonstrates that while financialisation is a useful signifier of patterns of global change, it is assembled by a diverse range of often contradictory work.
THE SUBJECT OF SOVEREIGNTY
Authors: Feldman Gregory
Published: October 2023

Seeking new forms of democracy, progressive politics raises a fundamental question: what is the alternative to the allegedly coherent, self-contained liberal subject that represents the project of modernity? Exploring the themes of nature, race, and the divine, this book identifies the more realistic alternative in the “relational subject”: a subject that is inseparable from the global field of relations through which it emerges and yet distinct from that field because it lives a life that no one else ever has. Recognizing ourselves as such subjects allows us not only to rethink politics, but, more profoundly, to envision sovereignty as the means by which we each rejuvenate ourselves and the polities we constitute with others.
POVERTY ARCHAEOLOGY
Authors: Newman Charlotte , Fennelly Katherine
Published: October 2023

The Poor Laws in the United Kingdom left a built and material legacy of over two centuries of legislative provision for the poor and infirm. Workhouses represent the first centralized, state-organized system for welfare, though they maintain a notorious historical reputation. Workhouses were intended to be specialized institutions, with dedicated subdivisions for the management of different categories of inmate. Examining the workhouse provision from an archaeological perspective, the authors demonstrate the heterogeneity of the Poor Law system from a built heritage perspective. This volume forms a social archaeology of the lived experience of poverty and health in the nineteenth century.
Does Trauma Have a Race?
Authors: Ellis Katherine E. J.
Published: October 2023

The task of theorizing and “curing” psychological trauma posed an unprecedented challenge to Western medicine during World War I. In this article, I analyze linguistic and thematic patterns across influential French medical journal publications (1914–1919) to elucidate the dominant medical model of psychological trauma in white men. My approach highlights the centrality of la volonté (“willpower”), historically a critical aspect of Western masculinity, to experts’ conceptualization of trauma itself. I expand this analysis to consider key differences between the model of trauma in white men and the so-called “facsimiles of pathology” in North African soldiers. This comparative analysis illuminates a larger cultural schema of the healthy (white, masculine) self as discrete, sovereign, impermeable, and “justified” in its occupation of colonial spaces.
The Strange Case of Edward Sittler
Authors: Ostrower Gary B.
Published: October 2023

Edward V. Sittler, an American citizen, renounced his citizenship at the beginning of World War II and from Berlin broadcast Nazi propaganda to American and British troops. The article explores why he did this and the circumstances of his return to the United States in 1946. Sittler eventually taught at a number of colleges in the United States. His Nazi past may have cost him some of these jobs. He then went to court, unsuccessfully, to regain his American citizenship. In exploring Sittler's legal efforts, the article addresses issues related to the law of treason and of citizenship. It concludes with observations about the role of the American Association of University Professors in assessing Sittler's appeals following his resignation from C. W. Post College, and it offers observations about the relevance of Sittler's story to events in the twenty-first century.
EAW: Next Steps, Will Pandora’s Box Be Opened?
Authors: Glerum Vincent , Kijlstra Hans
Published: October 2023

The authors advocate operational improvement of the European Arrest Warrant system. When applying the judi­cial cooperation instruments concerning criminal matters, more attention should be devoted to the requirements of proportion­ality, effective judicial protection, and coherence. The power to issue an EAW should be more circumscribed whereas executing authorities should be allowed more flexibility in the decision making process as far as the execution of an EAW is concerned. The authors conclude by sketching amendments to the legal and practical framework and the efforts required to implement them as well as by addressing the issue of political feasibility.
Mediation as Means of Communication for Public Administration in Settling Administrative Disputes
Authors: Kułak-Krzysiak Katarzyna , Śwital Paweł
Published: October 2023

Nowadays solutions are sought for public adminis­tration to involve citisens in decision-making as one of the ways of promoting the development of civil society and thus to fos­ter democratic forms of government. Public administration is looking for efficient methods of resolving administrative dis­putes. Administrative mediation serving the purpose of ensur­ing proper communication between the parties to administra­tive proceedings is one of such methods. Mediation in public administration hinges upon the definition of communication rules. The aim of this paper is to define communication from the perspective of legal science and discuss its application in the administrative mediation proceedings. In this article, we discuss the essence, the subject matter and the object of medi­ation as well as the legal regulations governing the mediation procedure and consider the possibility of applying mediation to the administrative procedure, as exemplified by the related case law. The study has been conducted by means of the legal research methods, in particular the legal-dogmatic approach and the legal functionalism approach.
Detention Pending Execution of the European Arrest Warrant – Dutch and Polish Experience. Some Reflection from the Human Rights Perspective
Authors: Wąsek-Wiaderek Małgorzata , Glerum Vincent
Published: October 2023

This article focuses on detention pending surrender, i.e. detention of the requested person in the executing Mem­ber State on the basis of the European Arrest Warrant (EAW). It defines the scope of application of Article 5 of the Euro­pean Convention on Human Rights to such detention and anal­yses the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union on time limits of keeping the requested person in detention in the executing MS as well as on the notion of “the execut­ing judicial authority” entitled to decide on detention pending surrender. Both issues are explored with reference to national law and practice of the Netherlands and Poland. The article pro­vides the answer to the question whether national provisions which limit the duration of detention pending surrender prop­erly reflect the normative content of the framework decision on the EAW. The answer to this question is given with due regard to the standard of protection of the requested person stemming from Article 5 § 1 ECHR and Article 6 of the Charter of Funda­mental Rights. Furthermore, the analyses focus on Dutch and Polish provisions concerning the authority entitled to decide on detention pending surrender and their compliance with the CJEU’s jurisprudence on the notion of “the executing ju­dicial authority.” Recognising that detention is the basic meas­ure for ensuring the effectiveness of surrender, we try to define the limits of its use in the EAW procedure, stemming from the requirements of protection of human rights.
Verification in the Issuing State of Evidence Obtained on the Basis of the European Investigation Order
Authors: Świeczkowski Dawid , Steinborn Sławomir
Published: October 2023

The aim of this article is to address the issue of the ex­tent of incorporation and verification of evidence for purpose of the criminal trial as the evidence base for the judgement, namely the evidence that is obtained on the basis of the Euro­pean Investigation Order, including the evidence obtained in various forms that may raise doubts in terms of the protection of individual rights.
The authors would like to focus on the analysis from the perspective of the Directive 2014/41/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 on the European Investigation Order in criminal matters and Polish legislation, and consider what kind of possibilities the issuing state’s authorities have to verify admissibility of evidence, especially the way in which the evidence is obtained when it has not been produced upon request but only delivered since it has already been in possession of the executing state’s authorities.
