The family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) can be credited with two major landmarks in botanical history: the first systematic monographic treatment of any plant group (Morison, 1672), and the first international symposium dedicated to systematic research on a plant family (Heywood, 1971). The 1970 symposium on the Biology and Chemistry of the Umbelliferae held at the University of Reading, UK, resulted from the large body of research interest in the family around the world at that time, and helped to stimulate further work on the Apiaceae. It also provided a model for similar symposia on major plant groups in the years to follow, including Asteraceae (Heywood et al., 1977), Brassicaceae (Vaughan et al., 1976), Lamiaceae (Harley & Reynolds, 1992), Solanaceae (Hawkes et al., 1979), and Fabaceae (Summerfield & Bunting, 1980; Polhill & Raven, 1981). Growing interest in umbellifers soon resulted in a second international symposium on the family held at the Centre Universitaire de Perpignan, France, in 1977 (Cauwet-Marc & Carbonnier, 1982). Although a large role of this second symposium was to review progress on a major co-operative research programme focused mainly on the tribe Caucalideae, participants with other interests were also involved, and wider developments in the systematics of the family were discussed.

In today's dynamic world, entrepreneurship is gaining greater attention both by the policymakers and scholars because of growing unemployment problems across the globe. Entrepreneurs remain vital as they contribute to crack-down on the rising societal challenges through the generation of new employment opportunities. Despite the growing acceptance of entrepreneurship in today's dynamic & competitive environment, some graduates are not comfortable pursuing their career as entrepreneurs. What perceptions they carry regarding entrepreneurship as their career choice and who can nurture their positive entrepreneurial perceptions are crucial matters, thus encouraging researchers to conduct in-depth study along this line. By considering this issue, the present study sought to know the perceptions of university graduates regarding entrepreneurship career and who influences their perceptions. Based on the above reasons, this study was conducted in two universities in Malaysia: Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) and Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) and taken entrepreneurial perceptions as a function of the role of university and family. The study results reveal that 57 percent of the students want to start their career as entrepreneurs after graduation. Still, several factors can make barriers for them to enter into the business environment. In this context, the majority of students mentioned insufficiency of funds as the most significant obstacle, while the desire to get rich forces them to take such a hindrance as a challenge and the key to success in an entrepreneurial career. Though the study also identifies that both university and the family play positive roles in influencing student's entrepreneurial perceptions, the family contributes more than the university. Hence, this study hopes to contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by enhancing the understanding of the entrepreneurial perception of university graduates and also provides some basis for future research in this area. As the majority of students' perception is directly inclined towards selecting entrepreneurship opportunities as a career, the findings from the current study would also assist governmental institutions, affected agencies, academic institutions, entrepreneurial mentors, dedicated consultants, as well as counselors to enhance students' perceived feasibility of self-employment by providing them relevant start-up opportunities.

The Melbourne meeting is drawing close. The local Melbourne organising committee, NSAC and the Rubbo Committee have put together an excellent programme and outstanding speakers. The opening ceremony will set the benchmark for the rest of the meeting. Professor Peter Doherty will speak on The role of leadership in changing times. Professor Doherty, who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology together with Rolf Zinkernagel, discovered how T cells recognise their target antigens in combination with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. Professor Doherty is currently an NHMRC Burnet Fellow and Laureate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Melbourne. While maintaining an active research programme, he is also an advocate for innovation, liberal education and the role of science in the community. He has published two books for the general public, his semi-autobiographical book The beginner?s guide to winning the Nobel Prize and, more recently, A light history of hot air. I?m sure all attendees of the meeting will look forward to this fantastic start to ASM 2008.

Aim/Purpose: The qualitative study aims to examine the lived experiences of women persisting in the distance; professional doctoral degrees as they seek to integrate and balance their family of origin and current family system with their development as scholars. Background: A vital reason many women choose not to drop out of their doctoral programs is that they experience conflict between their identities as women and scholars – a conflict between “the enduring sense of who they are and whom they want to become” (Cobb, 2004, p. 336). A supportive family is a salient theme that arises in studies on doctoral persistence, with many researchers noting that the family is essential in helping women navigate the doctoral journey (e.g., Lott, Gardner, & Powers, 2009; Tinto, 1993). Methodology: This qualitative study employed Moustakas’ (1994) transcendental phenomenological approach through a purposive sampling of eleven women who are enrolled in distance education, professional doctoral programs at two universities in the southern United States. Contribution: This study furthers the existing research by demonstrating that family is intimately tied to the scholarly identity development and persistence of women enrolled in distance education, professional doctorate programs. While previous research has shown that family support is a factor promoting doctoral persistence, previous studies have not examined how women integrate and balance their family of origin and current family system with their development as scholars while persisting in a doctoral degree. Findings: Findings highlighted that the doctoral journey is marked by personal fulfillment and struggle. Women’s development and persistence are influenced by familial support, choosing to continue or discontinue family of origin patterns, and differentiation from the family. Recommendations for Practitioners: To support women’s persistence and scholar identity development, the university can facilitate discussions and provide opportunities that explicitly orient families to the rigors of doctoral training. The university can host family webinars, create family orientations, offer family counseling, and develop family social media groups. Recommendation for Researchers: This study is an essential step toward understanding the role of the family in the doctoral persistence of women. The study provides a foundation for further research with women who are divorced, never married, or identify as LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual). Further study should focus on women enrolled in various disciplines and residential programs. Impact on Society: If women are to succeed in doctoral programs, the academic institution cannot ignore the role of the family in persistence. Future Research: The role of the family in doctoral persistence for men and residential students needs to be explored. Experience of women in distance education and residential programs should be compared to highlight differences and similarities.

Cricket is the most popular game at present not in only in India but also in the Indian Subcontinent. The controversies and the ups and downs of the willow game have been the subject of discussion by the cricket chroniclers and the lovers of the game in times gone by. The present study aims at examining the level of motivation among players, nature and role of cooperation from academic institutions such as the college or the university, from the family, need for a different academic course structure for players and fairness in the selection process. Using the information through a sample of 320 student cricketers, the role of the University of Delhi in nurturing the talent and producing some outstanding cricketers of national and international levels has been probed. Absence of trainers along with commensurate infrastructure seems to be the bane in developing top cricketers in the Colleges and the Universities. Forced to give major part of their time to the sport, it is tough for the sportspersons to focus on academics. Continuous training and travel with consequent missed classes makes it tough to secure good credits in class attendance and internal assessment which results in adverse performance in semester examinations. The sports centric curriculum and sufficient credit for performance in sports with adequate, flexible teaching schedules, improved training and sports infrastructure in colleges and the universities in India can only raise the standard of cricket and other sports.

Continuously changing social drug policies pose problems in presenting an homogeneous picture of the current situation in Italy. The Consolidation Act was passed three years ago, and in 1993 a national referendum substantially modified the 1989 law. Goals have been reached regarding coordination of repressive action at an international level, and a National Fund for the Fight against Drugs was established. Efforts have been made to coordinate a unitary, although not standardized, policy among different authorities involved in anti-drug activities. A prevention “culture” has been implemented, recognizing the basic role of the family in primary education, increasing activities from the first years of school, as well as improving programs for educators at the university level. Great efforts are also being made to achieve better coordination in the field among the various social services. Monitoring studies are in development.

Resumo: O objetivo desta análise é trazer para discussão o papel da família no enfrentamento do envelhecimento. Apesar de ser um tema atual, percebe-se uma série de contradições na visão que os idosos têm da família e das expectativas que estabelecem nas relações familiares. A proposta deste estudo nasceu da disciplina de graduação “Longevidade: vida e sociedade”, que ocorre semestralmente na Universidade de Caxias do Sul, oferecida pelo Departamento de Educação, no módulo que trata dos aspectos sociológicos do envelhecimento. Dessa maneira, surgiu o interesse em responder às dúvidas apresentadas pelos alunos na interação em sala de aula, seguindo a proposta de ensino e, ao mesmo tempo, com a intenção de motivá-los no aprofundamento de questões pertinentes ao envelhecimento humano, pensou-se na elaboração de um estudo exploratório que pudesse propiciar ao aluno o contato com idosos de forma individual e espontânea. A amostra foi intencional, e os alunos entrevistaram idosos que não eram do mesmo grupo familiar, com o objetivo de conhecer como vêem a família e em que situações percebem sua importância. O estudo, de natureza qualitativa, utilizou o método análise de conteúdo. Das narrativas dos idosos foram construídas categorias analíticas que refletem sua relevância. A pesquisa, além de apresentar uma discussão conceitual, apresenta a percepção que os idosos têm da família e as contradições decorrentes de suas experiências nessa unidade social. Palavras-chave: Família. Envelhecimento Humano. Relações Familiares. Abstract: The aim of this analysis is to bring to discussion the role of the family facing aging. Despite being a current issue, various contradictions are noticed in the view that elderly people have of family, and the expectations they establish in family relations. A proposal for this study was born in the undergraduate discipline “Longevity: life and society”, which is offered every term at the University of Caxias do Sul by the Education Department in the module dealing with sociological aspects of aging. This way, the interest was risen in answering the doubts raised by the students during class interaction, following the teaching proposal and, at the same time, intending to motivate students to deepen questions pertaining to human aging, there came the idea of elaborating an exploratory study that could provide students contact with elderly people individually and spontaneously. Sampling was intentional, and the students interviewed elderly people who did not belong to the same family group, iming at getting to know how the elderly see the family, and in which situations they perceive its importance. Of a qualitative nature, the study used the content analysis method, and from the narratives of the elderly analytical categories were built which refl ect their relevance. Besides presenting a conceptual discussion, the investigation presents the perception the elderly have about family, and the contradictions resulting from their experiences in this social unit.

Abstract Changes in understanding and interpretation of decision-making processes have shed more light on complex interplay given the different settings, and different actors. The limitations in human decision-making and their significance and long-term implications on organizational management or policy making inspired a large body of evidence and research. Exploration of decision-making processes spans over decades, and is closely connected to the role of power; the amount of power in organizations is usually joined by the knowledge and prior experience, which together play a significant role in decision-making process, as well in selection of candidates for the job. However, there is an evident void concerning publications on decision-making processes in academic institutions, and it rapidly becomes the focus of interest due to a specific opposition contained in its core; positions of high level administrators are held by the university professors with no mandatory previous experience and/or knowledge in organisational management.

<p>This is one of the articles based on the research carried out in the contextof the European research programme PYTHAGORAS II titled «Greekcommunities and the European world (13th-19th centuries). Aspects of selfadministration,social organization, formation of identities», which was realized in the Department of History and Archaeology at the University ofAthens. In the text are discussed the results of the research made by the collaborators of the programme in the archives of Venice, Vienna, Hungary, Romania and referring to the organization of the Greek communities in thesecities and lands. The gathered material (especially statutes referring to theadministration of the communities, schools etc.), as well as the up to nowknown archival material and literature conducted us to conclusions discussedin this paper. The above article provides an attempt at typology of six groupsof organization, beginning from the case 'confraternity'/community of Venice (15th century onward), to those of the Transylvanian 'companies' (17th century onward) as well as the Habsburg lands communities (18th - beginning19th centuries). The typology is based on the data-base form systematized material, which gives answers concerning the comparison of the various typesand terms of administration, the relations between the Greek and othersettlers and the reception-countries too, the role of the home tradition andthat of the various group-immigrants from the Balkan lands, the developmentin the organization forms during the time, the influence of the emergence ofnationalism.</p><p>The article completes the publication and the comparative analysis of theunknown, till now, statutes of the Greek 'company'/community in Miskolc/Hungary (1801) found in the Borsod archive of Miskolc.</p>
