The significance of space/place in the experiences of people is recognized and theorized in the literature, pioneered by Henri Lefebvre (1991). People not only are affected by the place they live in, but also, as active agents, they can create their own place. In this process, spatial clustering, either voluntary or forced, may have an enabling effect both in economic and cultural terms in the former, or create conditions of exclusion and poverty in the latter (Marcuse, 1997). The clustering of rural-to-urban migrants on the peripheries of big cities as they build their gecekondus is well-documented in the Turkish context (e.g. Karpat, 1976; Gökçe, 1993; Erman, 2012), with some attention paid to its gendered outcomes (Erman, 1998). Today we are witnessing a new phenomenon in Turkey, which is about the clustering of people of a different nationality such as Syrian refugees in the slum/gecekondu neighbourhoods of Turkish cities.

Súčasný moderný historický výskum spoločenských elít a osobitne aristokracie v Uhorsku sa nemôže zaobísť bez bližšieho skúmania príbuzenských a rodinných vzťahov uhorských magnátskych rodov. Dôležitú úlohu pri objasňovaní týchto vzťahov má nepochybne vedecká genealógia. Napriek tomu, že genealogický výskum má u nás už úctyhodnú, vyše dvestoročnú tradíciu, nemožno konštatovať spokojnosť s dosiahnutými výsledkami. Najmä v slovenskej historiografii chýbajú genealogické pramenné edície, ako aj širšie koncipované analytické práce, ktoré by osvetľovali historické procesy cez zrkadlo rodových a príbuzenských väzieb. Prakticky neexistujú slovensky písané genealogické monografie, ktoré by súborne mapovali nobilitu na našom území a predstavovali ju cez genealogické tabuľky. Nedostatočne spracovaná je najmä aristokracia pôsobiaca na našom území v období raného novoveku. V poslednom období síce vzniklo niekoľko monografií o jednotlivých aristokratických rodoch, avšak ide zväčša o práce kompilačného charakteru, spracované na základe staršej literatúry, bez hlbších archívnych výskumov.

Sceny dionizyjskie należą do najpopularniejszych motywów dekoracyjnych zdobiących greckie wazy. Przedstawiają rolę, jaką w kształtowaniu technik winobrania, przygotowywania wina i jego konsumpcji odegrali Dionizos, satyrowie oraz menady. Ta funkcja wychowawcza miała źródło w przekonaniu, iż wino jest boskim darem, który, ofiarowany człowiekowi, ma zmienić jego życie na lepsze, obiecując przy tym nieśmiertelność. W tym kontekście zestawienie analogicznych scen z udziałem postaci związanych z kultem Dionizosa i ludzi, w którym wino jest elementem kluczowym (uczta, thiasos i komos, czy sceny oddawania czci bogu), tworzy symboliczny obraz prymitywnego życia wiejskiego oraz życia w mieście, pokazując jednocześnie ścisły związek między zachowaniem człowieka a przykładem danym przez boga. Pojawianie się poszczególnych motywów dionizyjskich w malarstwie wazowym oraz okresy ich popularności wskazują na powiązania z politycznymi i ekonomicznymi zmianami w Atenach oraz z procesem rozwoju społecznego i zmianami kulturowymi.
More...The paper deals with the so-called ”epic genitive” which in South Slavic epic decasyllable and long-verse poems often substitutes the accusative of inanimate objects, e.g. mača plamenoga ‘(he unsheathed) the fiery sword’ and of direction, e.g. u bijela grada ‘(he went) into the white town’. Such forms are ungrammatical and metrically conditioned, i.e. they fit into the second half-line of the decasyllable, which is not the case with the gramatically correct sentences, e.g. u b(ij)eli grad ‘to the white town’, at least after the loss of the final ”weak” semi-vowels shortly before 1000 A.D., for hitherto, in its original phonetic shape, the sequence *vъ(n) bělъjь gordъ, with six syllables, the penult long and the preceeding two short, perfectly matched the second hemistich of the Common Slavic epic decasyllable as reconstructed by Roman Jakobson; consequently, the pattern must be older than the 10th century and rooted in the prehistoric past. The substitution of genitive for accusative may be regarded as purely morphological process, inspired by the analogy of the category of animate nouns in which genitive is used to design the direct object, and/or by the phonetic coincidence of two Common Slavic prepositions, *vъ ‘in(to)’ with accusative and locative and *u ‘at’ with genitive, in Serbian. However, the starting point of the development may have been a phonetic phenomenon, the persistent pronunciation of final weak semivowels in the metrical speech long after their fall in the spoken language, not unlike the ”e muet” in French poetry, e.g. u Budimə gradə, which subsequently resulted in u Budima grada ‘into the town of Buda’ as the shwa reflecting Common Slavic ъ and ь in the strong position turned, in Shtokavian, into the full vowel a. It was supposedly only then, in the 14th–15th centuries, that the original accusative in those inherited formulas was reinterpreted as a genitive in a. In any case, the ”epic genitive” seems to be an archaism bearing a further testimony to the prehistoric roots of Serbian oral poetry. Additionaly, the occurence in the reconstructed formulas of the word *gordъ ‘town’, initially ‘enclosure, fortified place’, confirms that fortresses played in the epic world outlook of the ancient Slavs a role no less important than among other early Indo-Europeans.
More...Keywords: litigation; mediation; legality; unavailability; equality;
Mediation is an ADR which falls within the category of means of self-determination and which presupposes the intervention of a third party a mediator whose functionis to bring the parties together in a dispute in order to conclude an agreement between them. In the Portuguese legal system, it is not possible to mediate disputes between taxable persons and the Tax Administration. There are several obstacles to the mediatability of litigation in tax matters. In particular, we are thinking about the principles of legality, the unavailability of the tax credit, and equality. In this paper, it is sought to ascertain if these obstacles are absolute, not allowing any openness to the legality of legal-tax disputes, or if, on the contrary, they are not absolute, making feasible the thinking of creating a relation between Law Taxation and mediation. Adopting a method based essentially on dogmatic analysis, it is believed that it is possible to recognize the legality of legal-tax disputes, albeit within certain limits. The mediation will allow a closer approximation between the parties - taxable person and the Tax Administration - thus contributing to the creation of a greater ethical-tax awareness and, in this way, to the reduction of litigation.

Since then, in art bio there have been distinguished number of trends, such as: a transgenic art, a microbial art, an agar art. A separate section of bio-art is the work with cells and tissue culture (in vitro). All trends are characterized by the work on unstable materials, the so-called wet media/ wetware, an ephemeral, a processuality, interactivity and the use of highly advanced technologies such as atransgenesis, neuropsychology and robotics. The biological world also inspires designers, builders and architects. The source of inspiration is mainly the physiology of living organisms, their structure and construction.In the bio art there also has appeared a critical movement. It deals with the problem of the relation between science and living organisms, the fight against commerce, the protection of life at each level. This results in a reevaluation of the relationship between humans and other species, which implies a departure from anthropocentrism. A critical aspect of this art is also a question about humans’ right to control their own evolution, to create new forms of life outside the natural order of living. On the one hand, bio art raises concerns, but on the other, it evokes a sense of the inevitability of transformation, of which we are witnesses. It is also heterogeneous in its ideological mssage. It questions the paradigm of the relationship between nature and culture, emphasizing morphism, liquidity and relativity of existing divisions, but it is involved in technology and a praise progress. Especialy dangerous aspect of bio-art is associated with biohacking and bioterrorism.
More...Keywords: Bulgaria; cultural distance; GLOBE
The paper displays the cultural profile of Bulgarian management and responds to the gaps in comparative studies by positioning Bulgaria in cross-cultural space. The study is based on the survey of Bulgarian managers (2014) per the GLOBE methodology and on culture distance (friction) measures for Bulgaria relative 57 countries/societal cultures. It highlights the behavior-tied profile that is low on Uncertainty Avoidance, Performance and Future Orientation , visible Collectivism and high Gender Egalitarianism; and the values-tied profile that is compatible with all-countries average scores with slightly higher indicators of Collectivism, Assertiveness, and Uncertainty Avoidance. This research distinguishes between countries that display cultural proximity to Bulgaria (East European, Latin Europe, Latin American clusters) and those with greater distance (Germanic, Asian Nordic, Middle Eastern clusters).
More...Keywords: cohesion; polycentricity; accessibility; sustainability; EU
Accessibility is a key concept in regional development, with numerous ties to territorial cohesion and polycentricity. Moreover, it also exhibits a geo-strategic function, anchored in the international relationships between countries and continents. The article reviews several case studies, placing analyses of the Romanian accessibility in a broader context. The results show that regional development, overall EU connectivity and possible transit fluxes are prevented by the configuration or lack of communication routes. Increasing the accessibility of regions must be a priority of governments, regardless of political opinions. It is expected that the transition of economy to post-carbon era or other models – green economy, knowledge-based economy etc.) – to result into the emergence of new poles and axes of development, and ensure transport sustainability.

More...Keywords: Methodical Sonatas; Georg Philipp Telemann; Johann Joachim Quantz; instrumental music teaching
In the Baroque period of the 17th and 18th centuries, several excellent tractates that focused on the instrumental early music performance were printed. Alongside them, the published methodical early music was devoted to particular problems of instrumental performance. The example of that are Methodical Sonatas for Violin or Flute and Basso Continuo by Georg Philipp Telemann. They deal with quite a serious problem of ornamentation while drawing inspiration from the principles of the mixed – German style. Their methodical quality lies in the fact that the author writes their compositions in one line in the form the compositions are commonly written, while in the line beneath they add the recommended ways of ornamentation. In addition, they also serve as the methodical guide for a precise assignment of the period tempo at which the verbal expression had a different meaning than in the present time. In this sense we can benefit from the tractate by Johann Joachim Quantz entitled Attempt to Create Manual of Playing Diagonal Flute.
More...Ryoji Ikeda is one of the most important artist of data in this moment. It is the art of contemporary infosphere which explores the world of invisible data that makes up our technocultural habitat. It is represented in the form of art of data (resp. data of art). In this article – among others – I present the most important thematic series of Ikeda works, such as datamatics, test pattern and a sort of culmination of previous research and artistic strategies which is an exhibition called the planck universe [micro|macro] organized in 2015 in the ZKM in Karlsruhe. Drawing inspiration from physics, mathematics, working with scientists (from CERN for example) Ikeda creates high-tech projects in the area of art@science. At the heart of its activities it is to practice what I call “logical emotions”. The paradox of “the logical emotions” lies in the fact that the artist is referring to scientific procedures and the use of hidden data that visualizes and sonificated at the same time appeals to the viewer of the body treated as a multifunctional and polysensory instrument. The context for my considerations is the Richard Shusterman’s concept of somaesthetics. Ikeda’s sonovisual experiments activate somatic or psychosomatic acceptance, which once David Bohm called “the principle of soma-significance”.
More...Keywords: ADB; AIIB; development banks
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is a well-known financial institution operating in the Asia-Pacific region since 1966. The rise of this multilateral organization was sponsored mainly by Japan, for which, no doubt, it is still an important instrument of external policy. However, nowadays the ADB constitutes 67 members (48 regional and 19 non-regional), including PR China. With an impressive budget (ca. $20 billion) and focus areas ranging from social development to information technologies, the ADB is an important source of development funding.The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a rather new initiative, only opening up for business in January 2016. Based in Beijing, it is a multilateral organization comprising 57 founding members (37 regional members and 20 non-regional partners), excluding Japan and the United States. The creation of the AIIB is a reaction to the fiasco of the transformation of global financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group. China’s intentions in initiating the AIIB are clearly something other than altruism. It might be seen as part of a win-win economic cooperation strategy that could benefit both regional and national development processes. Like the ADB, the AIIB focuses on the development of infrastructure and other productive sectors in the Asia-Pacific region.The question is, should we anticipate strong rivalry between these two institutions, as political realism would suggest, or will the ADB and the AIIB find a way to offer their best to the Asia- Pacific countries without any major conflict?
More...On the basis of a constructivist communication theory that treats cognitive objects, to a large extent independently of perceptual offers – as communication constructs, we may assume that personal images also have such a character. Collective objects of communication (stereotypes, collective symbols, normatives and the like) emerge in consensus-based constructive processes in a given communication area. However, in what way are constructed entities functioning at an individual level or in the framework of social groups – such as the image of a person? The presented text addresses this issue, showing the range and diversity of images generated in relation to a single person.
More...Keywords: Poverty Alleviation; Capability Approach; Relation of Economics to Social Values; Human Development
The capability approach of Amartya Sen focuses on the freedom of individuals, their real opportunity to lead a life they have a reason to value. Within this framework poverty is not solely the lack of material goods, but the lack of valuable doings and beings one has the freedom to choose. The objective of present paper was to propose a minimum set of aspects to be considered by poverty alleviation initiatives on the basis of the capability approach; and to test this framework through a qualitative empirical analysis carried out in Hungary. The paper analyzed how were the proposed aspects of poverty alleviation reflected by various stakeholders of poverty reduction initiatives (decision makers, experts and civil activists). It first examined the general thinking of stakeholders about poverty, then it analyzed their opinion about a planned housing project for disadvantaged people in Szeged, Hungary. According to the results, the general thinking of stakeholders about poverty was in harmony with the aspects we proposed on the basis of the capability approach. However, stakeholders’ focus of attention shifted when they evaluated a given case instead of just thinking generally about poverty.
More...Keywords: drone; unmanned aircraft; civil aircraft; airspace; Civil Aviation Code
Unmanned aerial vehicles - drones, are the most important innovation in the military field in recent years. If, until recently the drones were used only in the theaters of war, their use in the civilian field has various uses, the drones industry being in rapid growth worldwide, given the extremely useful and immediate applications of these technologies in multiple domains. In Romania, although the drones market is at the beginning, forecasts are extremely favorable given the particular opportunities these technologies are shaping. In this context, it is necessary to develop the legislative and institutional framework in Romania regarding the production, marketing, registration and use of the drones in the national airspace, in order to accommodate the European and international trends, taking into account the possible evolutions of these technologies in future and with integrated safeguards related to the protection of privacy, personal data and the patrimony
