The final chapter systematizes the empirical lessons derived from the detailed analyses of the various chapters. It generalizes the theoretical results of the empirical analyses and reconsiders these issues within the theories of regionalism and autocracies. It sums up the findings for post-Soviet Eurasia, but also makes generalizations beyond the specific regions, presenting implications for the world-wide experience of the failure or success of democratization and opening up new lines of investigation at an international level. The conclusion discusses implications for the further development of a theory of regionalism, autocracies, and for policy making. It also describes an agenda for future research, which can be derived from our investigation.

A comparative study was made of the ways in which Australian universities are disseminating information about their courses over the World Wide Web. The study examined the quantity and quality of the information provided, the forms in which information is presented, and means of access to the information. The results of the survey indicated that while the majority of universities are now publishing at least some information over the World Wide Web, both the quantity and quality of information is variable. Implications for further development of institutional course information databases are discussed.

Author defines monetary globalization and examines the historical process of spreading money and cash nexus across the globe. It is stated that money developed almost simultaneously in three great civilizations (Europe, India, China), but over time the Hellenistic form of money absorbed and universalized all other forms of money. The author examines in detail the process of distribution of metallic and then credit form of money and their impact on economic globalization. All these processes occurring both in the markets of separate countries or small regions and at the international level (where money started to act as global currency almost immediately after its appearance) constitute the essence of the monetary globalization. The author dwells on the post-Bretton Woods period of development of the World Monetary System, believing that the extensive phase of monetary globalization has come to an end at this stage and its further development will be caused by fundamental qualitative changes.

Current Mechanism

In this chapter, we describe the motivations for, and development of, a rule-based policy management system that can be deployed in the open and distributed milieu of the World Wide Web. We discuss the necessary features of such a system in creating a “Policy Aware” infrastructure for the Web and argue for the necessity of such infrastructure. We then show how the integration of a Semantic Web rules language (N3) with a theorem prover designed for the Web (Cwm) makes it possible to use the Hypertext Transport Protocol (http) to provide a scalable mechanismfor the exchange of rules and, eventually, proofs for access control on the Web. We also discuss which aspects of the Policy Aware Web are enabled by the current mechanism and describe future research needed to make the widespread deployment of rules and proofs on the Web a reality.

Humans and alcohol have shared a very long history. In this final chapter, we highlight some of the key findings that emerge from the chapters in this book, in particular the evolutionary history of our adaptation to alcohol consumption and the social role that alcohol consumption plays, and has played, in human societies across the world. This raises a major contradiction in the literature, namely the fact that, despite this long history, the medical profession typically views alcohol as destructive. We draw attention to several avenues that would repay future research and how humans’ relationship with alcohol stands to change and evolve.

The cause of interfaith dialogue, understanding and what is sometimesdescribed as "the wider ecumenismn has gained considerable momentum inrecent years. While interfaith conflicts and sectarian tensions continue to hitthe headlines, efforts to build bridges and arrive at some degree of mutualunderstanding are also underway. Recent years have witnessed the emergenceof many groups, agencies and organizations around the globe that are workingin the field of interreligious dialogue and understanding. These groupingshave held numerous interfaith seminars, cqnferences and workshops and havecontributed significantly in opening up new channels of communication andwider avenues of concord among the hitherto contending religious communityleaders. One such organization is The Council for the World's Religions (CWR).a New York based organization which aims to bring believers of all faithsinto mutual friendship and collaboration in the service of God and humanity.The Interfaith Directory sponsored by the CWR is one important step towarddisseminating information about other organizations and agencies workingfor interreligious harmony and concord.The Directory lists names, addresses and activities of about seven hundredinterfaith organizations throughout the world. These organizations have beenlisted in five different categories: 1) organizations with multifaith membership;2) organizations relating to two or three religions; 3) organizations basedon one religion. but with outreach to other religions; 4) universalist movementsfor spiritual unity; and 5) academic institutions which are also centers ofinterfaith dialogue and encounter. Some organizations receive multiple entriesbecause of the varied nature of their activities and programs. The Directoryalso includes two very useful indeces, one alphabetical and the othergeographical. As has been noted by the editor, these organizations may varyconsiderably in size, resources and effectiveness but all of them share thecommon goal of interreligious harmony. Francis Clark has contributed a verythoughtful introduction to the volume in which he discusses present trendsin the world-wide interfaith movement. He rightly points out that the interfaithmovement "is a deeper religious expression of the new sense of oneness ofthe human family and the new awareness of our coounon responsibilities,dangers and destiny in our one shared habitat." However, he is not oblivious ...

Networked systems, natural or designed, have always been part of life. Their sophistication degree and complexity have increased through either natural evolution or technological progress. However, recent theoretical results have shown that a previously unexpected number of different classes of networks share similar network architectures and universal laws. Examples of such networks include metabolic pathways and ecosystems, the Internet and the World Wide Web, and organizational, social, and neural networks. Complex systems-related research questions investigated by researchers nowadays include: how consciousness arises out of the interactions of the neurons in the brain and between the brain and the environment (Amaral & Ottino, 2004; Barabási, 2005; Barabási & Oltvai, 2004; Neuman, 2003b) and how this understanding could be used for designing networked organizations or production networks whose behavior satisfies a given specification.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the method of profiling the identity of an unknown criminal. The possibilities of profiling the identity of the offender (including the world wide web) and the practice of its application in the activities of law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes are investigated. Profiling (English Profile-profile) - profile, outline, outline, draw in profile - an integrated crime prevention technique by highlighting the characteristics of persons who have committed a crime or are preparing to commit it on the basis of psychological, criminological, criminalistic and sociological knowledge; a set of methods and techniques for assessing and predicting human behavior based on the analysis of the most informative signs, forensic portrait of a person, characteristics of appearance, non-verbal and verbal behavior, location and the like. Specialists who collect, process data, analyze and obtain an image are called profilers. Today, in law enforcement agencies, not only the profiling technique is not widely used. They do not use this term at all. It is noted that the effectiveness of the profiler depends primarily on its communicative abilities, the ability to verbal and non-verbal means to read the information that the interlocutor provides. Verbal means include language and speech, and non-verbal means the appearance of the interlocutor, facial expressions, timbre, tone, voice intonation, gestures, poses. Both groups of means are used in communication, and non-verbal ones are less dependent on the conscious control of a person. Thus, profiling is used not only to search for unknown criminals, but also to prevent illegal actions. The use of profiling as a component of law enforcement has positive and negative aspects. In Ukraine, profiling is only just beginning to be introduced into the activities of law enforcement agencies, so the further development of this problem taking into account foreign experience is relevant. The content of the use of profiling, the types and main areas of profiling are highlighted. A specific example of a model of a forensic portrait of a person is given. The article contains a number of recommendations for achieving practical results.

Globalization is a term used widely to describe ‘homogenization’ of the world and various cultures. Although it is to do with trade, with an impact on resources, manufacture, and consumption, its impact is often seen on economics, development, international relations, and health. However, its effect on individual and population mental health across cultures deserves detailed study. The term means different things to different people and is often misused and misinterpreted in a number of ways. The geopolitical impact of globalization on social determinants of mental health of individuals and populations is of particular interest, especially because globalization affects migration and consequent changes in well-being. Cultures vary and have various dimensions, which change in response to globalization. The challenges in the global mental health agenda are of critical interest to policymakers and service planners. Often, mental health is regarded as separate from aspects of physical health and well-being, thereby creating specific problems. In the context of globalization and resulting migration, we propose a conceptual model to understand the effects of globalization on mental health and identify some action points for future research and policy-making.

Dark Web

In an increasingly intrusive era, the deep web is considered to be a bastion of privacy, while for others it is one of the most evil places to exist. The deep web is a part of the world wide web that cannot be readily accessed by conventional search engines, and a small part of it forms the dark web. The enshrouded nature and complex methodology required for access have made dark web a platform for carrying out numerous illicit activities, one of them being drug trafficking. This article explores how deep web and dark web operate, the trade of illegal drugs online in so-called cryptomarkets or dark net markets, the foundation and shut-down of Silk Road, the new cryptomarkets that popped up to take its place, the use of ‘the onion router' or TOR browser in this anonymous sale and purchase of illegal drugs, the role of encryption and cryptocurrencies, the existing and suggested tactics of the law enforcement to prevent internet-facilitated drug trafficking, and the future research areas.
