Crisis, What Crisis?
Authors: Simonsen Anne Hege , Evensen Jon Petter
Published: November 2017

As in most countries, Norwegian and Danish media houses struggle to adjust to new technological, economic and political realities. Photo departments have seen their budgets cut and people have been let go. It looks, however, as if the organisational response to the crisis is more nuanced than it may seem at first glance. We have examined three media organisations, with a reputation for an above average interest in photojournalism, through the filter of organisational psychology. By looking at the conjunction between organisational culture, the present climate, and what we may call visual editorial competence, which relates to a photo department’s relative power within the organisation, we try to shed some light on when and why photo departments are able to implement their own crisis management and thus influence their own situation. Our findings suggest that photo departments with a strong culture are more resilient to a climate marked by disruptive change. The overall visual editorial competence does, however, impact their manoeuvring space within the organisation.
Editorial: „Special Focus on Holm Tetens’s ‚Thinking God‘ (‚Gott denken‘)“
Authors: Brüntrup Godehard
Published: November 2017

In Germany, Holm Tetens is an influential analytic philosopher of science, mind, and logic. For many years he had been arguing within the widely accepted framework of naturalism and atheism. It came, to put it mildly, as a surprise to the entire philosophical community in Germany when he published a book defending theism in 2015. In this book “Thinking God” he claims that physicalism is an incomplete account of reality, because the mental and ideal realm cannot be reduced to the physical realm. As an alternative, he develops a version of theistic idealism which stands in the tradition of “panentheism”. Human subjectivity is fully embedded into the all-encompassing divine subjectivity. In dealing with the problem of theodicy, he then argues that the hope for eternal life and salvation by a supremely good being makes life more meaningful, esp. because it offers a prospect for justice to the countless victims of history. To Tetens, the worldview of naturalism and the worldview of theistic idealism are on the one hand both equally rational and defensible. On the other hand, both cannot be defeated by knock-down arguments. In closing, he urges his peers in philosophy to take the question of God seriously again. Shortly after the publication of the book, the Catholic Academy of Bavaria and the Munich School of Philosophy jointly organized an international master class on Tetens’s views which was taught by himself. The papers published in this issue grew out of this master class. For each paper by a young scholar there is also a reply by Tetens. The following editorial addresses specifically the German-speaking audience. It was thus not translated into English. All original papers discussing Tetens’s views and his replies to these, however, were written in English for the sake of reaching a larger worldwide readership.
God as Creator of Natural Laws: On the Relation of the Absolute and the Contingent World
Authors: Müller Tobias
Published: November 2017

In his essay on rational theology Holm Tetens broaches the issue of God’s role as creator and additionally addresses the relationship of the absolute to the contingent world in a philosophical perspective. By making this a topic, the question arises as to whether or not God’s creative activities are limited by the laws of nature. According to Tetens, God as the infinite self-conscious subject must not just considered as free from all restrictions concerning his creative activities, but rather, characterized as the absolute, he must be thought of as the ultimate ground of all beings, and therefore also as the creator of natural laws. In this article I will give a brief sketch of how this task could be tackled in philosophical terms. In doing so I will both pick up some of Tetens’ main intentions and concepts and try to explore them in some detail, as well as attempt to link them with the principle of determinacy as the main characteristic of the absolute.
Current practice in paediatric basic life support
Authors: Heczková Jana , Bulava Alan
Published: November 2017

Introduction. Although the incidence of cardiac arrest in children is much lower than in adults, the condition is still considered a major health problem with a very low chance for survival. As in adults, the timely provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in children is crucial. Current guidelines for CPR in children were published along with the guidelines for CPR in adults in 2015. As in previous years, they are based on consensus provided by International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Guidelines of particular ILCOR member councils may vary and reflect regional characteristic such as different access to health care, education methods or willingness of population to provide emergency assistance. Moreover, the conditions requiring CPR in children are characterized not only by different incidence, but also by aetiology or techniques used for different age groups. Therefore, emphasis is put on simplicity and feasibility as well as on consistency with adult guidelines to improve retention of the paediatric sequences. Nurses may be first rescuers not only in health care facilities. Better understanding of CPR guidelines might help them to improve their ability to detect conditions requiring CRP and also initiate and provide effective emergency care.

Aim. The aim of this study is to compare different approaches to paediatric CPR, in particular to basic life support (BLS), used in current guidelines of different ILCOR member councils.

Results and conclusions. General algorithm for adult CPR may be followed for victims of all age, but in case of children, slightly different approach might have much more favourable outcome.
Why Roma Children Need Language Asessments in Romani
Authors: Kyuchukov Hristo , Villiers Jill de , Tabori Andrea Takahesu
Published: November 2017

In this paper we make one major point: that Roma children in Europe need to be tested in their mother tongue before school placement. Roma children are in a particularly perilous position with respect to their education. We describe the problematic linguistic situation of Roma children, who are bilingual and often bidialectal, but are frequently evaluated in the language of the state for educational placement, a process that has been shown to significantly compromise their chance of success. We then review the considerable empirical evidence that bilingual children must be evaluated in both languages to give a fair assessment of their knowledge and skills. Furthermore, strength in the mother tongue has demonstrable transfer to skills in the second language. We provide a brief summary of a new assessment for Romani that has been used successfully to evaluate children aged 3 to 6 years, and present the results of a new study using it in Slovakia on 29 children aged 3 to 6 years.

Published: November 2017

A filamentous benthic cyanobacteria, strain USMAC16, was isolated from the High Arctic Svalbard archipelago, Norway, and a combination of morphological, ultrastructural and molecular characterisation (16S rRNA gene sequence) used to identify to species level. Cell dimensions, thylakoid arrangement and apical cell shape are consistent with the Pseudanabaena genus description. The molecular characterisation of P. catenata gave 100% similarity with Pseudanabaena catenata SAG 1464-1, originally reported from Germany. Strain USMAC16 was cultured under a range of temperature and photoperiod conditions, in solid and liquid media, and harvested at exponential phase to examine its phenotypic plasticity. Under different culture conditions, we observed considerable variations in cell dimensions. The longest cell (5.91±0.13 μm) was observed at 15°C under 12:12 light:dark, and the widest cell (3.24±0.06 μm) at 4°C under 12:12 light: dark in liquid media. The study provides baseline data documenting the morphological variation of P. catenata in response to changing temperature regimes.
‘It Seems I’m Scattered by the Wind’: Liber tristium – Franciszek Pik Mirandola’s Debut Poetry Volume
Authors: Samborska-Kukuć Dorota
Published: November 2017

Franciszek Pik Mirandola’s debut poetry volume, whose title Liber tristium (1898) was inspired by a book of elegies of the 16th-century Polish-Latin poet Ianicius, is a projection of the poet’s own psychological dilemmas in a tone of voice echoing the splenetic mode of Baudelaire and Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer. His poems are uneven; their weaknesses are hard to overlook. Yet in spite of his all too obvious dependence on the fin de siècle (and Young Poland’s) poetics and mannerisms, he manages to rise above the run-of-the-mill laments and decadent clichés. Taken as a whole, the poetry of the idiosyncratic pharmacist from Krosno has the ring of an authentic inner struggle of an alienated individual looking for some metaphysical signs that would give meaning to his life. In his search he draws on Schopenhauer and the currently fashionable Hinduistic themes, but he does it with commendable good sense. He should also be praised for his ‘aquatic’ poems, especially the sonnet cycle Nieznajomi (Strangers).
‘Hinc Habitat Regina Voluptas’: Literary Sources of Book III of Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus’ Zodiacus vitae (1536)
Authors: Drzewiecka Ewelina
Published: November 2017

This article explores the literary sources of Book III of Zodiacus vitae, a philosophical poem by Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus. Publish in Venice in 1536, it was banned by Inquisition and condemned to oblivion in its native Italy. The infamy of the work in Italy was in stark contrast with the popularity it enjoyed in early modern Europe, including Poland. Book III (Gemini), which contains the work’s best passages, tells the story of the poet’s journey to the Garden of Lust (Voluptas), filled with a series of allegorical figures, where he was lectured on the nature of pleasure and its uses. In this way the garden is turned into Humanist locus docendi. The article tries to explain the main philospohical sources and contexts of this learned debate.
Olwid, Or the Beginnings of Polish Postcolonialism
Authors: Szewczyk-Haake Katarzyna
Published: November 2017

This article presents a postcolonial interpretation of Olwid’s (Witold Hulewicz’s) book of poems Flame in Hand (Płomień w garści, 1921). His poetic ‘fragments’ describing the experience of the World War are remarkably similar to the poetry of German expressionism. Whereas previous critics treated this similarity as a proof of the derivative, unoriginal nature of the Poznań expressionism, this article claims that Olwid’s was a deliberate attempt to start a rapprochement between the Polish and the German culture. After decades of colonial dependence the breakthrough of 1918 the two cultures had a chance to resume a dialogue of equals with the expressionist poetics as a new footing. Hulewicz tones down the difference between the hegemon and the victim in the spirit of the expressionistic search for common humanity. To that end he also develops a new interpretation of the Polish Romantic tradition. His endeavours mark him out as a precursor of postcolonial criticism, and more specifically that type of postcolonialism which uses the emancipatory strategy as a means to the creation of a ‘truly free man’. That high goal is pursued not because of a commitment to cosmopolitanism but in the name of absolute human values.
Peculiarities of Distribution of Two Amblydromella Species (Phytoseiidae, Parasitiformes) in the Zone of Their Natural Intergradation in the Eastern Ukraine
Authors: Kolodochka L. A. , Bondarev V. Yu.
Published: November 2017

Distribution of two morphologically and ecologically related species of predatory phytoseiid mites of the genus Amblydromella (A. pirianykae and A. recki) in a zone of their natural intergradation (mountain ridge Donetsky Kriazh in the east of Ukraine) is studied for the first time. The list of plants populated by both predators is given. Consistent patterns of mite distribution on life forms of plants are determined biotopical fidelity on the basis of the coefficient. Very rarely, A. pirianykae and A. recki mites simultaneously populate the same plant organism (only 1.6 % of all samples) which can be attributed to the partially resolved antagonistic relationships. Th e basis of the antagonism is, in the first place, similarity of food preferences of the predators that, in principle, occupy the same ecological niche. Dramatic finale of this confrontation is the elimination of one of the species which has no distinct advantage in the specific conditions of a local microhabitat.
ÖPP – eine Linderung, keine Lösung
Authors: Puls Thomas , Schaefer Thilo
Published: November 2017

In der Debatte um die Neuordnung der Bund-Länder-Finanzbeziehungen hat die Gründung der Bundesfernstraßengesellschaft einen extrem großen Raum eingenommen. Allerdings ging es in der Debatte weniger um die bestehenden Probleme und mögliche Lösungen, sondern vielmehr darum, wie eine angebliche Privatisierung der Autobahnen am wirkungsvollsten verhindert werden könne. Dabei stand eine materielle Privatisierung nie zur Diskussion, denn in Öffentlich-Privaten-Partnerschaften (ÖPP) wird die Ausführungsplanung an einen Privaten im Verbund mit der Finanzierung übergeben, wohingegen die Straße selbst in staatlichem Eigentum verbleibt. Dennoch waren einige Fraktionen bestrebt, ÖPP als Beschaffungsvariante vollständig zu streichen. Am Ende wurden das Instrument nur für Teilnetze und Streckenlängen von mehr als 100 Kilometer ausgeschlossen. Dadurch werden ÖPP jetzt aber explizit im Grundgesetz erwähnt. Die neuen Regeln schränken die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von ÖPP zwar ein, stellen aber keineswegs das Ende für das Instrument ÖPP dar. Denn weiterhin bestehen strukturelle Probleme in der Fernstraßenverwaltung, die durch den Einsatz von ÖPP gelindert werden können. Die Effizienz der konventionellen Beschaffung leidet unter diversen Vorschriften und Engpässen, was zu dem Zustand der Fernstraßen geführt hat, den wir heute beobachten können. An dieser Stelle können ÖPP ansetzen, da sie besseren und schnelleren Bau versprechen und gleichzeitig Aufgaben übernehmen können, welche die personell ausgebluteten Behörden kaum mehr leisten können. ÖPP sind also geeignet an den aktuellen Problemen anzusetzen. Dennoch bleiben ÖPP nur für bestimmte Projekte geeignet und die konventionelle Beschaffung wird die Norm bleiben.
Die politische Ökonomie deutscher Landkreise: Determinanten der Verschuldung
Authors: Boll David , Sidki Marcus
Published: November 2017

Die kommunale Verschuldungssituation in Deutschland, insbesondere der starke und asymmetrische Anstieg in kurzfristigen Kassenkrediten in den letzten Jahren, steht verstärkt im Fokus von Politik, Forschung und der Öffentlichkeit. Dies betrifft nebst den Städten und Gemeinden auch die weniger wahrgenommene Landkreisebene. Diese verfügen über einen deutlich geringeren Grad an finanzieller Autarkie. Somit werden politökonomische Einflüsse auf die Kreisfinanzen eher in den jeweiligen Landesregierungen bzw. in der politischen Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Landkreis- und Landesebene vermutet. In dieser Arbeit werden bekannte politökonomische Determinanten der Kommunen und Staaten auf die Besonderheiten der Landkreise angepasst und für alle deutschen Landkreise für die Jahre 1998 bis 2010 empirisch untersucht. Wir finden Hinweise für einen verstärkenden Einfluss von Wahlzyklen der Landesregierung auf die Kassenkreditverschuldung der Landkreise. Ferner wirkt die politische Kooperation zwischen den Landräten und dem Finanzminister eines Bundeslandes verschuldungshemmend. Ebenso finden sich schwache Hinweise für einen positiven Einfluss des Wechsels von Landesregierungen und von Finanzministern auf die Verschuldung. Im Ergebnis unterstreicht die Analyse die Rolle des Landes als Finanzausstatter der Landkreise und somit deren hohe Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Landesregierung.
Numerical Solution of Conjugate Free Convection From a Vertical Fin Embedded in a Non-Darcy Porous Medium
Authors: Kumar Vikash , Rani Abha , Singh Ajay Kumar
Published: November 2017

The problem of conjugate free convection from a vertical fin embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium is investigated. The governing nonlinear equations are solved iteratively by a highly implicit finite difference scheme. In this paper, the results based on four models, viz the Darcy model, the Brinkman model, the non-Darcian model with nonlinear inertia and viscous terms, and also the non-Darcian model with viscous, nonlinear inertia and velocity square terms, are compared. It is seen that fin cooling is more effective at higher Grashof or Darcy numbers due to stronger convection effects. The local Nusselt number is observed to increase with the Grashof or Darcy numbers and decrease slightly with the conduction–convection parameter. The limitation of the Darcy’s law is observed at higher values of permeability when the non-Darcian models are more relevant.

The following proseminar-paper works on the question whether there was a monarchic court and an equivalent courtly culture in Renaissance Venice despite its Republican constitution. The seafaring nation disposed of several aristocratic institutions which dealt with the political everyday business of the Republic, but strikingly the doge still appeared as an official leader. In this context, the following analysis focuses on the geostrategic and historical conditions, the economics of the city state as well as the Venetian constitution and the representational function of the doge and his wife, the dogaressa, in a plurality of cultural ceremonial acts in order to depict the evolution of the Most Serene Republic of Venice of the 15th and 16th century.
Die Vorrechte des Adels in Bayern und Tirol. Steuer-, Gerichts- und Jagdprivileg im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert
Authors: Bliem Nikolaus
Published: November 2017

The present bachelor thesis examines whether the nobility were a homogenous group in terms of privileges granted by the sovereign or not. I argue that the amount and extent of these could vary. As shown for the case studies Bavaria and Tyrol and the selected group of privileges (tax, jurisdiction and hunting) the nobility were eager to preserve and strengthen their claim on special rights, while the sovereign, as well as the emergent bourgeoisie, tried to diminish and disprivilege them. This evolved as a continuous struggle in which the lower nobility clung to their claims jealously. As a result the nobility were neither acting as one group nor were the privileges under examination always and everywhere accessible to them.

The follwing seminar paper is about Archduke Albrecht VI, brother to emperor Frederick III. Regarded as „villain“ in traditional historiography, which failed to value his substantial and successful efforts to improve his position as „prince without principality“, it will be shown that this assessment has its roots in his conflicts with his imperial brother. For an impartial observer, he pursued his aims with the means of a realpolitik. Although he still hast to be regarded as a minor figure in Austrian history, his expample tells a lot about the possibilities and constraints of a Late Medieval prince.

In order to exemplify these two topics, as well as to point out differences and similarities, three examples were chosen to illustrate the complexity of mosque conflicts. Furthermore, this paper will include the issue of Islamophobia as mosques are houses of prayer for Muslims and any uprising conflict must be seen in connection to each other.
Studentischer Antisemitismus in Innsbruck (1918–1938)
Authors: Hechl Stefan
Published: November 2017

The following pro-seminar paper highlights anti-Semitism at the University of Innsbruck between 1918 and 1938. As such, it is mainly concerned with student societies, both ";Burschenschaften"; and Catholic societies. It will be shown that while these groups had some significant ideological differences, anti-Semitism proved to be a uniting factor. This paper will also trace the history of the student society leading up to the ";Anschluss"; in 1938 and provide evidence that anti-Semitic activities by ";Burschenschaften"; continued well into the second half of the 20thcentury.
Innerstaatliche politische Konflikte und die Anerkennung kultureller Besonderheit. Der Beitrag Will Kymlickas multikulturalistischer politischer Theorie zur empirischen Konfliktforschung
Authors: Guérin Nina Stéphanie
Published: November 2017

Die multikulturalistische politische Theorie von Will Kymlicka, die sich mit den Bedingungen von „guter“ Demokratie in kulturell heterogenen Gesellschaften befasst, formuliert zwei zentrale Forderungen: Die Forderung nach sozialer sowie politischer Anerkennung kultureller Minderheiten. Wie relevant sind diese Anerkennungs-Maximen im Kontext innerstaatlicher Konflikte? Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, Ansätze der multikulturalistischen Theorie und der empirischen Konfliktforschung in einen Dialog zu bringen. Zu diesem Zweck wurde eine erste Regressionsanalyse durchgeführt. Diese erste tentative empirische Untersuchung generiert drei zentrale Ergebnisse: Von den geforderten Maßnahmen politischer Anerkennung entfalten allein die politischen Repräsentationsrechte die erwartete konfliktmindernde Wirkung. Im Gegensatz dazu haben Autonomierechte keine Wirkung, beziehungsweise eine den Erwartungen entgegengesetzte, also konfliktsteigernde Wirkung. Die Toleranz einer Gesellschaft weist ebenfalls keine konfliktmindernde Wirkung auf. Wichtigste (multikulturalistische) Erkenntnis hierbei ist, sowohl für die Wissenschaft als auch für die mit kulturellen Konflikten befassten Politikpraktiker, dass politische Anerkennungsrechte, wenn überhaupt, erst dann wirkungsvoll sind, wenn sich jene Gruppen, die davon profitieren sollen, auch tatsächlich dadurch anerkannt fühlen.

"Bridging Activities," New Media Literacies, and Advanced Foreign Language Proficiency
Authors: Thorne Steven L. , Reinhardt Jonathon
Published: November 2017

In this article we propose the pedagogical model bridging activities to address advanced foreign language proficiency in the context of existing and emerging internet communication and information tools and communities. The article begins by establishing the need for language and genre-focused activities at the advanced level that attend to the shifting social practices and emerging literacies associated with digital media. Grounded in principles of language awareness and the concept of multiliteracies, the bridging activities model centers on guided exploration and analysis of student selected or created digital vernacular texts originating in Web 2.0 and other technologies/practices such as instant messaging and synchronous chat, blogs and wikis, remixing, and multiplayer online gaming. Application of the model includes an iterative implementation cycle of observation and collection, guided exploration and analysis, and creation and participation. In sum, the bridging activities approach is designed to enhance engagement and relevance through the incorporation of students' digital-vernacular expertise, experience, and curiosity, coupled with instructor guidance at the level of semiotic form to explore interactional features, discourse-level grammar, and genre. The ultimate goal is to foster critical awareness of the anatomy and functional organization of a wide range of communicative practices relating to both digital and analogue textual conventions.
Annotation of Korean Learner Corpora for Particle Error Detection
Authors: Lee Sun-Hee , Jang Seok Bae , Seo Sang-Kyu
Published: November 2017

In this study, we focus on particle errors and discuss an annotation scheme for Korean learner corpora that can be used to extract heuristic patterns of particle errors efficiently. We investigate different properties of particle errors so that they can be later used to identify learner errors automatically, and we provide resourceful annotation guidelines. We present issues that are relevant to learner error annotation including how to classify particle error types, present correct tokens, mark overlapping error types, and so on. Accurate annotation of particle errors will be useful for extracting relevant error rules and will provide substantial benefits to the development of ICALL systems. We argue that it is necessary to link annotation with feedback procedures to increase the efficiency of systems. Furthermore, we investigate whether heritage learners and nonheritage learners generate different error patterns and discuss significant implications for heritage versus nonheritage language learning.
Different selective dry cow therapy concepts compared to blanket antibiotic dry cow treatment
Authors: Wente Nicole , Paduch Jan-Hendrik , Klocke Doris , Vries Elisabeth Mansion-de , Hoedemaker Martina , Krömker Volker , Seeth Martin tho
Published: November 2017

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the use of somatic cell count (SCC) and aerobic bacterial counts as possible tools to choose animals for selective dry cow treatment (DCT) on cow level. Blanket antibiotic DCT is an approved and common method in Germany aimed at increasing the cure rate of existing intramammary infections (IMI) at the time of drying off and decreasing the risk of new infections during the dry period. However, not all animals benefit equally from an antibiotic DCT. Moreover, dairies, consumers and politicians demand a reduction in the use of antibiotics in farm animals. Several criteria for identifying animals which would benefit from antibiotic DCT have been described in the literature. Material and methods: Animals chosen for this investigation were divided into three study groups: Aerobic Count Petrifilm® group A (153 cows), SCC group S (160 cows) and control group C (169 cows). All quarters were treated with an internal teat sealant (ITS) no matter which group the cows belonged to. Results: Group C, in which all cows received an antibiotic DCT, achieved the best results referred to udder health, particularly regarding bacteriological dry period cure. However, the results of the two study groups A and S, in which the animals were dried off selectively, were only marginally worse. A significant difference regarding bacterial dry period cure was revealed between group S and group C (p = 0.039), whereas no significant difference concerning new IMI risk could be detected between the three study groups. Compared to a blanket antibiotic DCT of all cows in the corresponding study group, a reduction of the usage of antibiotics of 23.5 % (A) and 55 % (S) was noticed, respectively. Furthermore, it could be shown that the lactation number as well as the microorganisms present at the time of drying off influence udder health. Conclusion: Selective DCT is an alternative method to the widespread blanket antibiotic DCT. However, it has to be mentioned that selective DCT involves the described marginal decline in udder health and the additional amount of time, which might arise from the procedure of choosing the right animals and performing the applied rapid test methods.

Da pergunta sobre o significado do aleitamento materno, resultaram quatro ideias centrais: previne doenças; promove saúde e crescimento da criança; desenvolve vínculo e amor e provoca desconfortos. As cinco ideias centrais sobre os motivos que as levaram a interromper a amamentação foram: culpa do bebê; leite secou; leite fraco; problemas nas mamas e retorno ao trabalho. Os resultados apontaram o significado da amamentação e os motivos da interrupção do aleitamento materno para as nutrizes e evidenciaram a importância da orientação e acompanhamento desde o pré-natal até a lactação na Rede de Atenção à Saúde.
BIG GAME IN BALOCHISTAN
Authors: Ignatiev Pavlo , Sakharenko Oleksandr
Published: November 2017

The peculiarities of political and economic situation in the historical region of Balochistan that is divided between Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran are analyzed in this article.
Due to specifics of its geographical position, poor soils and water scarcity, lands of Baloch people remain the least populated and the poorest in all aforementioned countries. This leads to insufficient attention of all three respective governments to the development of local communities that creates a basis for radicalism and separatism supported by ethnic and confessional differences.
On the other hand, the area of Balochistan still holds a promise of development due to its strategic location between borders of different countries, long stretches of coastline in Pakistan and Iran, considerable mineral resources of coal, natural gas, iron ore and marble. It is argued that three states should provide Baloch minorities with a just share of profits after sale of their commodities, limit migration of empoverished people from other regions and respect human rights. It is proved in the article that the implementation of those recommendations will put to rest the issue of separatism.

Published: November 2017

In the article the major trends in the energy sector of Ukraine in modern geopolitical conditions are investigated. The status and dynamics of energy security of Ukraine during 2007–2015 years are evaluated. The main factors strengthening the energy security of Ukraine in 2015 – the decrease of energy intensity of GDP and improving of the diversification of supply sources and kinds of energy resources are detected. The impact of key threats caused by geopolitical changes on the level of energy security of Ukraine is determined. The probability and preconditions of implementation of optimistic, basic, pessimistic scenarios of changes in such key factors of energy security, as energy intensity of GDP and the share of the dominant fuel in total energy consumption are substantiated. Directions of strengthening the energy security of Ukraine in terms of geopolitical transformations, comprehensive reforms of the production and import of energy production, distribution and the use of electricity; further reducing of energy intensity of GDP through economic restructuring and increasing the share of services and high-tech industries in GDP, energy efficiency enterprises of old industrial areas and their technical modernization.
When Citizenship demands Care: the inclusion of people with autism in the Brazilian labour market
Authors: Aydos Valeria , Fietz Helena
Published: November 2017

In the late 2000s, a network of agents started to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities into the Brazilian labor market, through an Affirmative Action Law that requires private companies to include from 2 to 5 % of people with disabilities among their employees. In this context, the experiences of people with autism brought to light theoretical and practical discussions on both the autonomy of these people and the 'best ways' of managing their everyday work routines. Perceiving public policies as producers of both subjects and social relations (Shore, 2010; Biehl & Petryna, 2013; Schuch, 2009), we aim to understand their effects in the management practices of different companies and in the citizenship-making processes (Ong, 2003) involving people with autism. Through ethnographic observation of the work environment in private companies, we highlight some 'Western' values implicit both in the public policies and in management technologies which may clash with the "logic of care" (Mol, 2008). By showing how Citizenship demands Care in this context, and how Care always demands a kind of human dependency, we shed light on the complexity of the notion of Care and aim to problematize the concept of Citizenship itself.
'Her body [was] like a hard-worked machine': Women's work and disability in coalfields literature, 1880-1950
Authors: Jones Alexandra
Published: November 2017

This essay considers the representation of women's work and disability in British coalfields literature in the period 1880-1950. Industrial settings are a rich source for literature concerned with bodily health, injury and disability and offer insights into the gendering of the working body whether male or female. Situating this largely realist body of novels, stories and plays in its historical context, this article will focus on intersections between work, class and gender. It shows how the vital, but unpaid, work of women in domestic labour was depicted as an extension of the industrial machine, which had clear consequences in terms of high mortality and morbidity rates amongst women.

Nowadays, healthy food with low glycemic index is very usefull to people with diabetes mellitus because it will not increase blood sugar levels quickly. The purpose of this study was to know the glycemic index values of nugget made from tempeh and pecay, and evaluate macro nutrient density of the nugget. In this research used glycemic index (GI) test for subject with healthy criteria. Each formula consisted of nugget from tempeh and pecay, P1 (40% tempeh : 30% pecay : 25% flour : 5% tapioca), P2 (45% tempeh : 25% pecay : 25% flour : 5% tapioca), P3 (50% tempeh : 20% pecay : 25% flour : 5% tapioca), P4 (55% tempeh : 15% pecay : 25% flour : 5% tapioca), P5 (60% tempeh : 10% pecay : 25% flour : 5% tapioca) and P6 (65% tempeh : 5% pecay : 25% flour : 5% tapioca). The best formula is the nugget made with from 55% tempeh : 15% pecay. That formula has value of glicemic index were 22%, moisture content were 50%, ash content were 2,4%, fat content were 19%, protein content were 54,6%, carbohydrates content were 24%. The dietary fiber as Insoluble Dietary Fiber were 22,46%, Soluble Dietary Fiber were 2,26% and Total Dietary Fiber were 24,72%.

L’image d’Auguste sous le règne de ses successeurs
Authors: Cosme Pierre
Published: November 2017

Résumé: Auguste s’etait occupé lui-meme de forger l’image qu’il entendait laisser à la posterite en laissant des instructions sur le déroulement de ses funérailles et le gouvernement de l’empire, mais aussi en rédigeant ses Res gestae. Jusqu’au règne de Neron, les empereurs Julio-Claudiens revendiquent leur parenté avec le fondateur du Principat, car le sang d’Auguste légitime leur pouvoir. À partir de l’avènement de Vespasien, c’est davantage par leur comportement que les princes peuvent se réclamer d’Auguste, surtout quand ils prétendent fonder une dynastie. Dans le regime tétrarchique, le surnom Auguste devient l’équivalent d’un grade militaire exprimant la préséance des empereurs les plus anciens sur ceux qu’ils choisissent comme successeurs en leur conférant le surnom de César. Si la référence augustéenne s’estompe sous certains règnes, sous celui de Trajan ou de Septime Sévère, elle subsiste, y compris après la conversion de Constantin au christianisme, révélant ainsi sa très grande plasticité. Mots-clés: Empire romain, ville de Rome, culte impérial, Tétrarchie, Constantin, Théodose Ier, Virgile, Tacite, Pline le Jeune.Abstract: Augustus had taken care to forge the image by which he wanted posterity to remember him, not only in the form of his instructions for his funeral and for the government of the empire but also in his Res gestae. Until the reign of Nero, the Julio- Claudian emperors claimed their kinship to Augustus, because bearing the blood of the founder of the Principality legitimized their power. Starting from the Vespasian’s rise to power, princes claimed their kinship to Augustus was behavioural, especially when they set out to found a dynasty. Under the tetrarchical regime, the nickname Augustus became the equivalent of a military rank, expressing the precedence of the oldest emperors over those whom they chose as successors and who they nicknamed Caesar. Although the Augustus reference fades under certain reigns, it subsisted under Trajan or Septimius Severus, even after the conversion of Constantine to Christianity, thus revealing its very great flexibility.Key words: Roman Empire, city of Rome, imperial cult, Tetrarchy, Constantine, Theodosius, Virgil, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger.
Augusto e historiografías periféricas: estudio de la figura de Augusto en la historiografía catalana
Authors: Cortadella Morral Jordi , Masat Barcina Albert
Published: November 2017

Resumen: Este trabajo es un estudio sobre la figura de Augusto en la historiografía catalana, desde los cronicones monásticos del siglo XII hasta las reivindicaciones nacionalistas del siglo XX. En el recorrido por este largo periodo veremos cómo Augusto pasa de ser parte de un mero sistema de datación, relacionado con el nacimiento de Cristo, a convertirse en una seña de identidad debido a la circunstancia (fortuita) de residir por un tiempo en Tarraco, y por tanto, gobernar su Imperio desde tierras catalanas. En el camino, Augusto atraviesa por momentos tanto de completo silencio historiográfico como de absoluto desprecio hasta alcanzar aquella consideración atemporal y acrítica tan propia de lo clásico. La cuestión a dilucidar es si este tratamiento del personaje se realiza en paralelo a la historiografía oficial española o en contraposición a ella.Palabras clave: Augusto, historiografía catalana.Abstract: This paper studies the figure of Augustus in Catalan historiography, from the monastic chronicles of the 12th century to the 20th century nationalistic claims. The survey of this long period allows us to see how Augustus goes from being part of a system of dating, relating to the birth of Christ, to becoming a symbol of identity, due to the (fortuitous) circumstance of having stayed briefly in Tarraco, ruling his empire from Catalonia. During this process, Augustus experienced both moments of absolute historiographical silence and of complete disdain. However, he finally reached a timeless and uncritical consideration typical of the classics. The key element is to establish whether this treatment of his character is performed in parallel to the official Spanish historiography or opposed to it.Key words: Augustus, Catalan historiography.
