Citizenship and Civic Subdivisions

Author(s):  
Marcello Lupi

The creation of civic subdivisions is a relevant chapter in any discussion of archaic Greek citizenship. The Spartan case is particularly interesting because, although extremely scanty, the sources testify to an early effort to organize the citizen body into formal structures. Contrary to the dominant model, which has the Spartans distributed into two transversal structures of civic membership, one kinship-based (the three Dorian phylai) and the other one territorial (the alleged five obai), here a new model is proposed. An examination of the relevant evidence shows, in fact, that the obai were an internal subdivision of the phylai. While being a member of these civic subdivisions was a prerequisite for citizenship, social cohesion was strengthened by participation in collective practices whereby the members of the Spartan community recognized each other as fellow citizens.

This chapter examines the first decades of emigration in the 1830s and 1840s, in which Polish patriots and Russian intellectuals predominated. It then turns to the first Russian colony, which formed in Zurich in the 1860s thanks to the arrival of several hundred students from the Russian empire. It shows how residents of the Zurich colony transformed the abstract, utopian ideas of the first generation of exiles into concrete praxis expressed through experiments in collective living, practices of women’s liberation and ethnic inclusion, and the creation of new institutions such as libraries. The new model of revolutionary living that emerged in Zurich would become a template for future exile experiments and would profoundly affect revolutionary culture at large.

En las últimas tres décadas, Francia ha reconocido un derecho a la inserción a las personas que se hallaban en una situación de vulnerabilidad social, a pesar de que puedan distinguirse varios periodos. La aprobación de la Renta Mínima de Inserción (RMI) y la creación de estructuras especializadas en la inserción por la economía, especialmente en dirección de los jóvenes, han significado un cambio de filosofía, puesto que se abandona el derecho a la asistencia para acceder al derecho a la inserción. Gracias a unos cambios legislativos, con la aprobación de la ley de lucha contra las exclusiones y de la ley de cohesión social, esta política ha dado lugar, por una parte, a la creación de estructuras adecuadas, sinónimas de empresas de inserción, de asociaciones intermedias, de entidades de inserción o de agrupaciones de empleadores, y, por otra parte, a la aprobación de unas medidas individuales que se parecen a unos contratos subvencionados. La inserción por la actividad económica pretende favorecer la reinserción laboral de unos colectivos marginados, lo que supone unas condiciones previas en materia de salud, de habilidades sociales y de capacidades cognitivas.In the last three decades, France has recognized a right to the insertion to the persons who were situated in a situation of social vulnerability, in spite of the fact that several periods could be distinguished.The approval of the Minimal Revenue of Insertion (RMI) and the creation of structures specialized in the insertion by the economy, specially in direction of the young persons, have meant a change of philosophy, since the right of the assistance to the right of the insertion.Thanks to a few legislative changes, with the approval of the law of fight against the exclusions and the law of social cohesion, this policy has given place, on one hand, to the creation of suitable structures, synonymous of companies of insertion, of intermediate associations, of entities of insertion or of employers' groups, and, on the other hand, the approval of a few individual measures that are feigned for helped contracts.The insertion for the economic activity tries to favor the labour rehabilitation of a few isolated groups, which supposes a few previous conditions as for health, social skills and cognitive capacities.

In this article, we propose study practices as a way to respond to the question Bruno Latour raised with regards to our current global predicament, namely where to land? In the first sections we explain the background of this question – socio-ecological challenges and transformations – and how study practices might help to offer an answer. The subsequent section sheds light on the theoretical developments in relation to which the notion of study practice has been conceived in the first place, in particular the methodological debates which saw a turn to practices on the one hand, and the theoretical discussions about the concept of study on the other hand. Analysis of the urban farming initiative Torekes in terms of a study practice allows for fleshing out the educational dynamics at play in such practices: composition, problematization, and attention. We contrast such an educational analysis with sociological and political analyses that understand this initiative as aimed at social cohesion or political subjectification respectively. In the last section, we argue how study practices, due to the ways in which they allow for the creation of a common world, might provide a response to the question how to live together on a damaged planet.

The creation of the Bundesrat, when the Federal Republic was launched a decade ago, has brought into being a new variant among the several examples of second chambers in the lengthening history of federal governments. The purpose of this study is to investigate the working of that new model—in contrast to the expectations of its originators—and its relations to the other parts of a democratic system; and to assess its present merits and future utility.

The Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe ads territorial cohesion as Union’s third goal, beside economic and social cohesion and lists it as a shared competence. In the other hand, the Lisbon Strategy aims to turn Europe into the most competitive area of sustainable growth in the world and it is considered that the Territorial cohesion policy should contribute to it. This paper is structured by a descriptive language while deduction method is used. It refers to official documents, strategies, agendas and reports, as well as books, articles and assessments related to topic. This paper covers all of two Territorial Agendas as well as the background of territorial cohesion thinking and setting process of territorial cohesion policy.

Optimization of the activities of medical organizations providing primary health care requires the development of new organizational and functional models. The introduction of new approaches to organizing the activities of medical organizations is primarily a step towards patients. The new model is a patient-oriented medical organization, the management of which is based on the use of a process-oriented approach and «lean» technologies. Since 2019, within the framework of the federal project «Development of a primary health care system,» a project has been launched to introduce the «New Model of a Medical Organization Providing Primary Health Care». The implementation of the project is scheduled for 2019-2024 inclusive. The creation and replication of the «new model» is planned for the participation of all subjects of the Russian Federation. The introduction of lean technology methods in the work of medical organizations has reduced the waiting time for doctors, optimized the burden on doctors, reduced the time for obtaining research results, streamlining the process of moving a patient within a medical organization. The creation of an effective quality management system in medical organizations is achieved through the phased implementation of lean-technology.

In the article on set-theoretic level, developed a conceptual model of the system of special types of technical support for difficult organizational-technical system. The purpose of conceptualizing the creation of a system of interrelated and stemming from one of the other views on certain objects, phenomena, processes associated with the system of special types of technical support. In the development of applied concepts and principles of the methodology of system approach. The empirical basis for the development of the conceptual model has served many fixed factors obtained in the warning system and require formalization and theoretical explanation. The novelty of the model lies in the account of the effect of environment directly on the alert system. Therefore, in the conceptual model of the system of special types of technical support included directly in the conceptual model of the system of special types and conceptual model of the environment. Part of the conceptual model of the environment is included in the conceptual model of the enemy of nature and co-systems.

This chapter examines the ambivalent image of Classical Athens in Dionysius of Halicarnassus’ Roman Antiquities. This image reflects a deep-seated ambiguity of Dionysius’ Classicist ideology: on the one hand, there is no question for Dionysius that Athenocentric Hellenicity failed, and that the Roman empire has superseded Athens’ role once and for all as the political and cultural centre of the oikoumene. On the other, Dionysius accepted Rome’s supremacy as legitimate partly because he believed (and wanted his readers to believe) her to be the legitimate heir of Classical Athens and Classical Athenian civic ideology. As a result, Dionysius develops a new model of Hellenicity for Roman Greeks loyal to the new political and cultural centre of Rome. This new model of Greek identity incorporates and builds on Classical Athenian ideals, institutions, and culture, but also supersedes them.

In attempting to characterize Second Temple legends of the Hasmoneans, the concluding chapter identifies several distinct genres: fragments from Aramaic chronicles, priestly temple legends, Pharisaic legends, and theodicean legends explaining the fall of the Hasmonean dynasty. The chapter then examines, by generation, how Josephus on the one hand, and the rabbis on the other, reworked these embedded stories. The Josephan treatment aimed to reduce the hostility of the early traditions toward the Hasmoneans by imposing a contrasting accusatory framework that blames the Pharisees and justifies the Hasmonean ruler. The rabbinic treatment of the last three generations exemplifies the processes of rabbinization and the creation of archetypal figures. With respect to the first generation, the deliberate erasure of Judas Maccabeus’s name from the tradition of Nicanor’s defeat indicates that they chose to celebrate the Hasmonean victory but concealed its protagonists, the Maccabees, simply because no way was found to bring them into the rabbinic camp.

The non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) software has a crucial role in computer systems. Furthermore, the software is used in various environments. It was developed and tested in a controlled environment, while real-world operating environments may be different. Accordingly, the uncertainty of the operating environment must be considered. Moreover, predicting software failures is commonly an important part of study, not only for software developers, but also for companies and research institutes. Software reliability model can measure and predict the number of software failures, software failure intervals, software reliability, and failure rates. In this paper, we propose a new model with an inflection factor of the fault detection rate function, considering the uncertainty of operating environments and analyzing how the predicted value of the proposed new model is different than the other models. We compare the proposed model with several existing NHPP software reliability models using real software failure datasets based on ten criteria. The results show that the proposed new model has significantly better goodness-of-fit and predictability than the other models.
