John and Sarah Churchill, first duke and duchess of Marlborough, carefully destroyed most of the correspondence they received during the two years of their self-imposed continental exile. Historians, forced to rely mainly upon the Hanoverian and Jacobite papers published by Macpherson in 1775, have reached radically different conclusions on the central question of Marlborough's loyalty to the Hanoverian succession between 1712 and 1714. Klopp, Trevelyan, and J. H. and Margaret Sherman maintained that Marlborough was ‘the greatest of all trimmers’.2 On the other hand, Sir Winston Churchill, emphasizing ‘the frauds and injuries which Marlborough perpetrated upon the House of Stuart’, contended that the exiled general ‘never swerved from his fidelity to the Protestant Succession.’ A search of Hanoverian, French, and British archives has yielded new material which illuminates Marlborough's political activities during his exile.

Natural source of coagulant is certainly being considered in addressing the disadvantages associated with the use of inorganic coagulants. Annona muricata is hypothesized to be new material as natural coagulant aid in coagulation-flocculation process. On the other hand, due to the high lipids content in microalgae, namely, Chlorella vulgaris is used in producing renewable energy, i.e. biodiesel. Coagulation-flocculation is an effective method in microalgae harvesting. Thus, in this study, a novel natural coagulant aid extracted from fruit waste in algae harvesting. It is aimed to (1) to extract natural coagulant aid (hereafter is known as biopolymer) extracted from Annona muricata seeds in algae harvesting, and (2) to evaluate the operational conditions of coagulation-flocculation process by utilizing the biopolymer. As a result, it is observed that acid extraction and extraction through sodium chloride does not show any yield. On the other hand, the harvesting efficiency showed positive response as coagulant aid at 20 mg/L.

Today, the martyrological discourse is one of the most conspicuous traditions of Polish Romanti-cism. When searching for the genesis of this discourse, one cannot overestimate the importance of the literary and political activities of Adam Mickiewicz from the autumn of 1832 to the middle of 1833. However, little is known about the problem of the resonance of Mickiewicz’s martyrological language and about how this discourse functioned in various texts of the Great Emigration. This paper attempts to answer those questions in reference to left-leaning texts of Komitet Narodowy Polski (KNP) and To-warzystwo Demokratyczne Polskie (TDP) from the 1830s. A study of the writings of KNP has led the author to the conclusion that they represent a common martyrological code of the emigration’s logo-sphere, while the TDP publications constitute an interesting variation of the martyrological collective imagination. The original character of the martyrological expression of the democrats stems from their views on the role of the people in regaining independence. On the other hand, certain common traits existed between TDP and Mickiewicz, which demonstrates that democrats modified the martyrological framework as a national narrative established by Mickiewicz.

The focus of this research is finding the construction of religious harmony in former conflict areas in Indonesia. The aim is to photograph the process of resolving religious conflicts in Kampung Rano in Mamasa of West Sulawesi Province. This research uses a qualitative method using a phenomenological approach by collecting socio-religious data and interviews from researchers with objects. This study empirically shows that finds the importance of understanding the value of pluralism has been taking place, especially for the people of Kampung Rano to regenerate an economic situation that has been devastated for more than a decade. On the other hand, there are a number of agreements between the transmigrant community and local residents, one of which is to no longer use religious attributes and symbols in political activities.

Abstract The genus Holcophylloceras Spath, 1927, including especially a majority of Jurassic species and some rare lower Cretaceous species, is easy to distinguish from other genera with constrictions such as Calliphylloceras Spath, 1927 or Sowerbyceras Parona & Bonarelli, 1895. In the genus Holcophylloceras the constrictions are clearly sigmoid or falcoid. Both characteristics can be observed on the same specimen. In the genus Calliphylloceras the constrictions are falcoid while they are sigmoid on Sowerbyceras. Actually these genera are closely allied and they represent evolutionary stages in a lineage characterized by more or less growth alteration. The lineage origin probably exists among Liassic Phylloceras. The genus Calliphylloceras shows a small growth alteration, while it is maximal in Sowerbyceras and it is intermediate in Holcophylloceras. This note shows that species of the genus Holcophylloceras are also characterized by three morphotypes: prae-caucasica, caucasica and nausikaae; these morphotypes do not characterize any particular species. The first and the second morphotypes could be an adaptation to live in deep waters. They probably give more solidity to the shell. The initial object of this note was to study again all the morphotypes of the genus Holcophylloceras with a new material collected in the oxfordian “Terres noires”. The authors of this note have studied the relations between the morphotypes prae-caucasica, caucasica and the peristome of Holcophylloceras. Does the peristome study permit to envisage the existence of dimorphic couples? (sexual dimorphism?). The result has been disappointing. On the other hand many microconchs and macroconchs have been identified. In particular with zignodianum-mediterraneum it is possible to identify the “male form” (zignodianum = microconch) and the “female form” (mediterraneum = macroconch) which confirms the intuition of Beznosov [1958] by an other approach to the problem. Many authors asked them if they had to separate the forms with sigmoid constrictions from those with falcoid constrictions. It seems now, there is no doubt and both species zignodianum-mediterraneum have to be joined in the same taxon zignodianum which has priority over mediterraneum. Last result of this study is the justification of the genus Holcophylloceras created by Spath.

How do collective societies deal with the issue of justice? Addressing this central question, we argue that collective societies emphasise understanding rather than rational agreement. As a result, different notions of justice embedded with socio-local identities are acceptable in a given society. Therefore, to grapple with the question of the relationship between diversity and justice, it is important to unearth the extra-rational elements in the exercise of justice. Rationally oriented notion of justice has been anthropocentric and it has focused on attaining common good. On the other hand, justice system that aims at rhythmic existence with living and non-living organisms de-emphasises consensus on justice itself.

In this essay, I analyze Vietnamese migrant associations in Poland, which have been routinely classified as “non-governmental organizations.” And yet, through their involvement in networks of relationships with a broad range of actors, including transnational connections with institutions back in Vietnam, they are in fact positioned in a liminal zone between the state and civil society. On the one hand, migrant associations are to a large extent entangled with the politics of the Vietnamese state through various channels, including the embassy, and through personal and institutional connections maintained with mass organizations such as the Fatherland Front and the Women’s Union. On the other hand, they are able to retain some degree of autonomy and pluralism, remaining active agents engaged with the fraught social and political activities of Vietnamese diasporics in Poland.

The theme of this article was inspired by a series of questions that arise to researchers when discussing compositions by musical modernist Slavko Osterc and his pupils from the first half of the 20th century, whose music was neither "tonal" nor extreme "atonal". On the one hand, there is a strong doubt of the Slovenian analysts in the progress (modernity) of the compositional means of the mentioned music, since the works are usually compared with the most extreme solutions of the Second Vienesse School – with atonality, athematicism or twelve-tone technique, and on the other hand the rejection of this music from the Slovenian cultural management in concert performing. The central question that arises is the question of the meaningfulness of such comparison, given that these composers were educated also in Prague and did not want to follow the Schönberg's twelve-tone method.

Most species of Scydmaenus Latreille described by Herbert Franz are impossible to identify without re-examination of the type material. The Chinese fauna is no exception and it is easy to find specimens whose aedeagi resemble those illustrated by Franz, but the only way to identify them is to directly compare new material with types. On the other hand, the aedeagi of type specimens often look slightly or even strongly different from those illustrated in original descriptions, which increases the confusion. Six species of Scydmaenus described by Franz and occurring in continental China are here redescribed, and the aedeagi of holotypes are illustrated in detail: S. chinensis, S. fukiensis, S. kunmingensis, S. sinensis, S. szechuanensis, and S. kiautunensis. The first five species are confirmed to belong in the nominotypical subgenus; S. kiautunensis is transferred from Scydmaenus (s. str.) to the subgenus Nepaloscydmaenus Franz. As previous checklists of Palaearctic or Eastern Asian Scydmaeninae contain incomplete data, an updated and annotated checklist of Scydmaenus species so far recorded from the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong is given, with comments on possible misidentifications, possible synonymies and distributional issues.

The paper discusses the ideology of fundamentalism on political fiqh. Their idea of ‘total Islam’ emerges problematic situation as the concept they build has not yet faced theoretical and practical construction. This is in line with the idea they have, historical-philology, a hint of paragidm which trying to have religious comprehension structurally, textually, and literally. Since its establishment in 1981, Ikhwan community has conducted many political activities. All activities are intended to reach the vision and mission of the organization, even, by conducting an extreme way that is executing the leader who does not response and accomodate their belief, syari’at Islam. This situation leads to a point of view that their movement is successful and fail in two different sides. They successfully defend the consistency to build the religious proselytizing activities. On the other hand, they cannot have any support from the leader to accommodate their activities.

Historians have often directed their attention towards Judaea when delving into the legal organization of the Roman provinces and in particular into the policy which Rome adopted towards them.The works of Flavius Josephus, the only ones which have come to us from amongst the many other contemporary works of varying political outlook, were for a long time the historians' chief source.Jurists, on the other hand, have not really exploited this source despite its great importance. Indeed, for many of them the numerous doubts raised as to the authenticity of the official documentation present a serious obstacle, although it is this very characteristic that could be of the greatest help in making an historical reconstruction which would also be valid at the legal level.Now however, the recent discoveries in the Dead Sea have brought to light new material of undoubted authenticity. This material sheds light on what was one of the most troubled Roman provinces for both the historian and the jurists.
