While there are numerous investigations of the impact of English on Spanish vocabulary, the opposite direction of lexical borrowing has as yet received fairly little attention. Spanish-derived words and meanings which have been taken over into English in the last few decades have been relatively neglected. The present article gives essential insight into the influence of Spanish on the English lexicon since 1901. I assign the different twentieth and twenty-first century Spanish borrowings to various lexical domains in order to offer an overview of the subject areas and fields of life to which Spanish has added new words and senses in recent times.

The Impact

Introduction: digitalization has generated qualitative changes in many spheres of public life. The science of civil law cannot stay out of these changes. It is necessary to define new directions of scientific research, including in related fields of knowledge. Cross-sectoral research methods will take a key place in the study of the impact of digital technologies on public relations. Purpose of the research: identification of new thematic (subject) areas for the science of civil law. The relevance of these areas is determined by the high degree of penetration of digital technologies into economic and social processes. Methods: general scientific (dialectical) method, as well as such particular scientific methods of cognition, formal legal, comparative legal, logical. Discussion: a change in the subject areas of research under the influence of a new technological reality occurs in all sciences and fields of activity. Artificial intelligence technologies and robotic technology are being actively studied not only at the level of engineering sciences, mechatronics, etc., but also become an object of study in philosophy, ethics, medicine, linguistics and philology. Outside of this scientific context, research in the field of civil law is impossible. Representatives of other scientific areas determine social risks, threats and opportunities, which later take on specific outlines in the form of legal regulation models. Conclusions: the inclusion of the science of civil law in the subject areas of the new technological reality is dictated by the high social risks of technologization of law. For a long time, civil law managed to maintain a balance between the needs of civil circulation and the protection of the natural rights of citizens. Today, it is also necessary to maintain a balance between the development of digital technologies, reducing regulatory barriers and protecting the rights of citizens, as the least protected category of participants in the digitalization process.

Pandemic Wave

The aim of the paper is to give the insight into international business and management in pandemic-related conditions in the first half of 2020. The subject of the paper is the analysis of the impact of the initial pandemic wave on the conditions in which international business and management take place and the risks to which companies are exposed, the ways they react to these conditions regarding the business ventures they give up or undertake, as well as the possibilities of how to cope with the current pandemic conditions. Therefore, the paper consists of three parts which analyze each of these aspects. In the pandemic-related conditions, full of unknowns and declining trends of almost all economic indicators, managers have a significant and additional responsibility to consider all relevant aspects and act accordingly making possibilities to mitigate the effects of a pandemic and to get through it.

Shed Light

The present article sets out to shed light on the Turkish influence on the English vocabulary over the centuries. The results provided by this study rely on a close analysis of a comprehensive lexicographical sample of Turkish borrowings listed in the Oxford English Dictionary Online. This study will provide an overview of the diversity of subject areas and spheres of life influenced by Turkish down the ages, which has as yet been considered little in existing investigations. On the basis of their meanings, the various Turkish-derived items have been grouped into several different semantic domains, ranging from the natural sciences, gastronomy, people and everyday life to faith and religion. A number of typical examples of borrowings will be given, in order to illustrate the impact of Turkish on the English lexicon from a historical point of view.

Insight Into

While the empirical literature on foreign military intervention has made considerable progress identifying the causes and consequences of military intervention, we still have much to learn about the subject. Mixed and even contradictory results remain common in the literature, and cumulative knowledge has in many instances proven elusive. Arguably the two most prominent theoretical approaches in recent scholarship, the bargaining model and the rivalry approach, have provided important insight into the phenomenon. They would nonetheless benefit from further refinement. Common explanatory variables outside of these two approaches also require further theoretical and empirical development. The literature has recently begun to examine the impact that military intervention has on target societies as well, with particular attention being given to target state democratization, human rights development, and conflict resolution. Empirical research could shed additional light on all of these phenomena by developing more detailed theory and data on intervention targets. It would also profit from incorporating systematic knowledge on leaders’ proclivities to use military force into current theoretical models.

Is there room on the shelf for another book about Jalal al-Din Rumi, thethirteenth-century mystic of Persia? Considering the great depth of hisgenius, the answer has to be yes. Sefik Can’s Fundamentals of Rumi’sThought is one of the latest books on the subject, and is distinguished fromothers in that its author is the current head of the Mevlevi order, the Sufiorder established after Rumi’s death and based on his teachings. In his biography,the author is introduced as “the most authoritative spiritual figure ofthe Order” and “the latest living Mesnevihan (Mesnevi reciter) whoreceived his ijazah (special certificate in the recitation of the Mesnevi) fromhis spiritual master Tahir al-Mevlevi.”This book thus reflects the Mevlevi tradition as it is understood withinits Turkish milieu today. Neatly organized into four chapters, it deals withthe political and historical background of Anatolia during Rumi’s lifetime(chapter 1), “Rumi’s Personality and Views” (chapter 2), his influence(chapter 3), and “Rumi’s Sufi Order and His Approach to Orders” (chapter4). A short bibliography and an index are also provided.Throughout many passages, one can feel the author’s love and compassionfor Rumi. His sincerity and enthusiasm compel one to set aside academicconcerns over historical accuracy and critical analysis in order to viewRumi from a Mevlevi perspective. The book offers insight into a livingdevotional approach to Rumi that often translates into an uplifting joy, whichis the hallmark of Rumi’s poems and which has animated the life of manyof his devotees. The reader will benefit from the relevant spiritual insightsoffered. The section entitled “Beauty” is a good example of explainingRumi’s views and relating them to contemporary experiences. The authorwrites:According to Rumi, beauty takes us from ourselves, frees us from theprison of the body, and brings us closer to another realm, to God. Thus wefind God within the impact of the fine arts on sensitive people. (p. 191)The heart of this book is chapter 2, which features the author’s interpretationsof Rumi’s personality and views (pp. 97-246). Although a small portionof this chapter is devoted to Rumi’s life and characteristics, most of it ...

Samuel Beckett's impact on literature and theatre is unquestionable but what is the impact of his work within the classroom and how do we quantify the effect on student minds? With an emphasis on why, as opposed to how, this article investigates the rationale for teaching Beckett in Higher Education. It raises questions about curriculum design and delivery, and the pedagogical motivation for exposing students to Beckett's work in the twenty-first century. Adopting a qualitative approach from the positionality of the Beckett educator within an Anglophone-Irish context, the phenomenological accounts of teaching Beckett detailed here offer some substantive observations regarding the study of Beckett and education. Providing insight into pedagogical practice in relation to Beckett from literary and practice-based perspectives, each account demonstrates how Beckett's work is effective in creating significant learning experiences which have application for the wider field of literary pedagogy at higher education level.

The narrative dealing with the official founding of Ava as recorded by both the Old Burmese inscriptions and later Burmese chronicles is the subject of this chapter. Practical, strategic, and military concerns, especially the impact of the Syam (Shan) raids, were paramount in choosing the site on which Ava stood. Thadominbya and Minkyiswa Sawkai were the two kings responsible for the founding and establishment of the new dynasty and kingdom. Without them, and ministers such as Minyaza, the period of dis-integration that followed Pagan’s decline would surely have not abated, but perhaps continued well into the third quarter of the fourteenth century, making re-integration that much more difficult. Original and contemporary epigraphic evidence is used to supplement the chronicle narrative in this reconstruction of Ava’s founding, not only providing viability to the account, but also allowing the reader to gain some insight into the nature of the indigenous chronicles and their perspective on the factors responsible for the establishment of Ava.
