Assessment of the European Commission Initiatives on Creating Transnational Media Networks
Authors: Kaliberda Elena 
Published: May 2020

The paper examines two European Commission initiatives on creating transnational media networks on European affairs, the Euronews television and the Euranet Plus radio network, and their roles in the European public sphere. An overview of Euronews and Euranet Plus is based on the author's research, first-hand contacts with representatives of the European Commission, media in Belgium and France, and field work at the editorial office of Euronews in Lyon-Ecully and at the editorial offices of Euranet Plus in Paris and Brussels.

Moving from Integration to Participation? Notes on the Interrelationship between Communal and Associative Relationships
Authors: Faist Thomas , Ulbricht Christian 
Published: May 2020

There are current trends in public and academic debates which point toward a wish of some analysts and observers to “de-culturalize” debates on international migration. In German debates, it is the term “integration” which has an alleged culturalizing effect and which therefore should be avoided and discarded as a concept of practice and as a concept of theory. In contrast to these positions we argue that there is a fundamental nexus between communal relations (Vergemeinschaftung or integration) and sociation (Vergesellschaftung). It is only by relating communal relations and sociation that we can understand the logics of important institutions such as citizenship and welfare states. Analytical concepts such as Vergemeinschaftung and Vergesellschaftung are necessary because they help us to account for fundamental changes. We find that in recent decades the meaning of integration connected to nationhood in public debates has changed from an ethno-cultural understanding to a republican one which is simultaneously characterized by increasing demands upon individuals who are conceptualized as autonomous persons (individualization).

Mapping of Population Diversity in Canada and Germany: Different Strategies, Similar Pragmatism
Authors: Schultz Caroline 
Published: May 2020

The aim of this paper is to compare the respective approaches of Canada and Germany in statistically mapping population diversity and to offer possible explanations for the differences and commonalities observed. In order to investigate this, the paper takes into account the concept of ‘politics of belonging’ as a theoretical background and considers the functions of national statistics in categorizing different groups of people. There are different strategies of mapping population diversity and, inter alia, two models can be distinguished: while some countries explicitly include questions on elusive concepts of ‘origin’ in their population data collection, others refrain from doing so and instead derive different subgroups from information on citizenship and place of birth. Taking Canada as an example of the first group of countries and Germany of the second, and delineating recent changes within their respective strategies of measuring diversity within their populations, this paper argues that Canada and Germany converge towards a new pragmatism in the approaches of measuring diversity in population statistics.

Externalities of the EU Immigration and Asylum Policy: The Case of Ukraine
Authors: Zhyznomirska Lyubov 
Published: May 2020

Since the 1990s, the EU has been gradually transferring to neighbouring countries parts of the burden of securing its internal order from illegal migrants, terrorists, criminal groups and other “threats.” It has done so using policy transfers and foreign relations mechanisms. The European Union, seeking to create an “area of freedom, security, and justice” in the region, exports the burden of migration management to its neighbouring countries and thus creates security threats – if not real then perceived – for these countries. The case of Ukraine demonstrates that EU policies of shifting the burden of international migration management to its neighbours can destabilize the societal security of countries that lack the experience and instruments to effectively deal with migration. Rather than shifting the burden of responsibility to the neighbouring states, the EU should prioritize co-operation and assistance to expand the area of freedom, justice and security on the European continent.

Marginal Stories? The Perspectives on Citizenship of Multiple Citizens and Multicultural Persons of Estonia
Authors: Kalev Leif , Ruutsoo Rein 
Published: May 2020

This article focuses on practices of citizenship in Estonia by persons with multiple citizenship or multicultural background. In the previous stages of research on this topic primary attention was paid to national citizenship, multiple citizenship and European Union citizenship as institutions, as well as the role of citizenship in the construction of European space. Expected "configurations" of multiple citizenship as articulated in Marshallian (1992) terms, as well as linkages between different spaces of membership (national and not-national) of citizenship as perceived by the national decision makers, mapped both avenues and bottleneck s for the future. Our research raises questions and problems related to citizenship as both an essential tool of nation building and of EU integration (cf. Ruutsoo and Kal ev 2006, Ruutsoo and Kalev forthcoming).

La gouvernance de la sécurité au sein de l’UE : un nouveau défi pour le Canada
Authors: Lavallée Chantal 
Published: May 2020

Since 1976, Canada and the EU developed and enlarged their relations including not only investment and trade, but also international security, environment, justice, culture, etc. During the last decade, the European Union progressively became an actor in the field of security and defence with the adoption of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). ESDP is entering in the logic outside of the traditional framework analysis that conceives security as a natural input, linked to territorial defence and assumed only by the State via military means. If ESDP entered in an intergovernmental logic, it is no longer the exclusive field of the Member States, but rather the result of interactions between a broad variety of public and private actors. In this new EU security governance, Canada is bound to face a major challenge, but it’s not sure that it is conscious of all the possibilities for its foreign and security policy!

The Role of Political Culture in Shaping Canadian, EU and US Disarmament Initiatives
Authors: Al-Fattal Rouba 
Published: May 2020

Canada and the European Union (EU) share, to a certain extent, a similar political culture, one based on multilateralism and the use of soft power. Nevertheless, over the past fifteen years Canada has been sometimes adopting disarmament policies that are similar to those of the EU and different from those of the US, while in other times it has been adopting policies that are similar to those of the US and different from those of the EU. This indicates that similarity in political culture alone is not sufficient enough to create convergence on foreign policies and that certain conditions must first be met for political culture to take precedence over neorealist explanations when dealing with security issues. Using Canadian, EU and US decisions on the issues of anti-personnel landmines and Iranian nuclear proliferation dilemma as case studies, this article analyses the conditions under which political culture plays a role in forming similar security policies.

Accumulation by Any Means: Neoliberalisation and Environment in Post-Communist Europe
Authors: Peters Frederick 
Published: May 2020

This paper explores water services restructuring in the post-communist Europe. The cases of the cities of St Petersburg, Russia and Tallinn, Estonia serve to trace changes in tone and timbre over the course of the post-communist transition to a market based economy. This paper is divided into two sections: we begin by placing the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in the context of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund–the International Financial Institutions significantly involved with infrastructure rebuilding. Section Two presents a brief look at specific cases of municipal water restructuring in the Baltic Region in postcommunist transition period, 1991 – 2006, brokered and funded in part by EBRD money. Tracing investments and the strategic partnerships formed in the region by the EBRD sheds light onto the development of IFI capacity and strategy since the early 1990s. The politics behind the notion described in shorthand with Harvey’s reworking of the Marxian ‘Primitive Accumulation’ is crucial to understanding the dynamics and trends often apparent in water infrastructure restructuring.

Cooperation and Isolation: Understanding EU-Russia Dialogue
Authors: Chebakova Anastasia 
Published: May 2020

The promising agenda of EU-Russia cooperation has resulted in mutual frustration manifested in continuous, paradoxical crises and isolation between the partners. This article offers a possible way to reflect on an uneasy EU-Russia relationship. In this study, I make problems in EU-Russia cooperation discursively visible by scrutinizing the official speech acts articulated in EU-Russia political and security discourse. I demonstrate that these official speech acts create conditions for a responsive dialogue and, eventually, form a set of prevalent discursive practices that re-produce and reinforce problems in EU-Russia cooperation. Blending Bakhtin‟s dialogic analysis and Onuf‟s constructivist accounts, I strike a balance between theoretical and empirical analyses and develop a model for understanding current and possible future events in the EU-Russia partnership. This model of international cooperation can be transferable beyond its borders to similar examples of relationships currently existing all over the world.

Ethnic Conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh
Authors: Kuburas Melita 
Published: May 2020

Twenty years since the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region first began, 610,000 people are still internally displaced in Azerbaijan, living in poverty and in wretched housing conditions. The causes of violence in the ongoing ethnic conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which began in the late 1980s and has since resulted in 30,000 deaths, can mainly be analyzed using a constructivist framework. However, elements of a primordialist approach to national identity were also used by mobilizers totrigger political and social uprisings. This paper presupposes that the constructivist theories on identity formation and territorial claims offer a better explanation as to why the war over Nagorno-Karabakh broke out in the 1990s, and why, in 2010, the two parties are no closer to a resolution and the Nagorno-Karabakh region remains in limbo.

Tribunes and Patricians: Fringe Parties in the 21st Century
Authors: Nedelcu Harry 
Published: May 2020

The mid and late 2000s witnessed a proliferation of political parties in European party systems. Marxist, Libertarian, Pirate, and Animal parties, as well as radical-right and populist parties, have become part of an increasingly heterogeneous political spectrum generally dominated by the mainstream centre-left and centre-right. The question this article explores is what led to the surge of these parties during the first decade of the 21st century. While it is tempting to look at structural arguments or the recent late-2000s financial crisis to explain this proliferation, the emergence of these parties predates the debt-crisis and can not be described by structural shifts alone . This paper argues that the proliferation of new radical parties came about not only as a result of changes in the political space, but rather due to the very perceived presence and even strengthening of what Katz and Mair (1995) famously dubbed the "cartelization" of mainstream political parties.

Objectives. This work aims to provide retrospective analysis of socio-economic, demographic and clinical features of patients with HIV infection in 5 regions of Russian Federation with high prevalence of HIV infection (Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk, Ulyanovsk Region, Samara Region). Materials and methods. A study was a part of the project «Natural and Clinical Course of HIV Infection in the Russian Federation». The protocol of study included a retrospective analysis of the regional Centers for the Prevention and Control of AIDS registers and medical records of patients. Inclusion criteria was a veriﬁed diagnosis of HIV infection. Diagnosis should be made by 01/01/2015 at the latest.Results. Demographic and socio-epidemiological parameters, clinical manifestations, immunological aspects and the status of antiretroviral therapy in the studied cohort were evaluated. The results of the analytical study allowed us to present a modern proﬁle of the HIV-infected population.Discussion. The analysis showed the prevalence of socially adapted people of working age (30–39 years), the predominance of the parenteral route of HIV infection associated with intravenous drug use in men and the activation of the sexual route of HIV infection in a cohort of women, and other features of HIV epidemiology. Results of analytical work reﬂect the situation of HIV infection in the Russian Federation, justifying the need for further research in this area and implementing effective prevention strategies into practice.

PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER MELALUI PEMBELAJARAN SASTRA BERBASIS EKOLOGIS DALAM KUMPULAN CERITA RAKYAT NUSANTARA
Authors: Rahman Hasrul , Wirawati Denik , Sidiq Julivan Nur Ahmad 
Published: May 2020

Pembelajaran sastra selalu memiliki berbagai macam metode yang dapat digunakan dalam proses kegiatan belajarnya. Melalui pembelajaran sastra, pendidik dituntut untuk lebih kreatif sekaligus peka dalam memilih materi yang menarik untuk disampaikan. Para pendidik saat ini kurang memperhatikan hal tersebut. Para pendidik hanya terpaku pada target-target yang akan disampaikan sesuai materi dan RPP yang sudah ada sebelumnya, tanpa berpikir lebih jauh mengenai hal-hal lain yang dapat dijadikan sumber pembelajaran. Padahal di era seperti sekarang ini, banyak hal yang bisa dimanfaatkan melalui kegiatan pembelajaran sastra untuk membentuk karakter bangsa. Pembentukan karakter dapat dilakukan dengan cara memilih buku-buku sastra yang kaitannya dengan masalah kekinian, misalnya saat ini sedang banyak terjadi kebakaran hutan, sungai yang dipenuhi sampah, dan lain-lain. Problematika tersebut tentunya dapat dikaitkan dengan materi ajar yang akan disampaikan. Dengan mengedepankan kepekaan terhadap hal-hal yang sedang terjadi, tentunya proses pembelajaran sastra akan berjalan dengan baik. Salah satunya mangaitkan pembelajaran sastra berbasis ekologis dengan kumpulan cerita rakyat. Selama ini para pendidik saat mengajarkan materi cerita rakyat hanya sebatas pada isi cerita dan tokoh-tokoh yang terlibat di dalamnya sehingga metode seperti ini sudah seharusnya dicermati kembali agar pembelajaran sastra kedepannya akan lebih menarik dan menyenangkan. Dengan adanya pembelajaran sastra berbasis ekologis peserta didik dituntut untuk menemukan pesan yang berkaitan dengan hubungan antara manusia dan lingkungannya dalam cerita tersebut. Hal ini tentunya sangat bermanfaat bagi peserta didik agar mereka tahu tentang pentingnya menjaga lingkungan..Kata kunci: Pengajaran Sastra, Sastra Ekologi, Cerita Rakyat Nusantara

MetIDfyR, an Open-Source R Package to Decipher Small-Molecule Drugs Metabolism Through High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Published: May 2020

After administration to humans or animals, small-molecule drugs most frequently undergo several biochemical transformations by the endogenous enzymatic machinery, called phase I and phase II metabolism. These molecular processes allow organisms to eliminate xenobiotics through modification of their chemical properties and generate metabolites. With recent advances in analytical chemistry, LC-HRMS/MS has become an essential tool for metabolite discovery and detection. Even if most common drug transformations have already been extensively described, manual search of drug metabolites in LC-HRMS/MS datasets is still a common practice in toxicology laboratories, disabling efficient metabolite discovery. Furthermore, the availability of free open-source software for metabolite discovery is still limited. In this article, we present MetIDfyR, an open-source and cross-platform R package for in-silico drug phase I/II biotransformations prediction and mass-spectrometric data mining. MetIDfyR has proven efficacy for advanced metabolite identification in semi-complex and complex mixtures in in-vitro or in-vivo drug studies and is freely available at https://github.com/agnesblch/MetIDfyR.
