Twenty years since the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region first began, 610,000 people are still internally displaced in Azerbaijan, living in poverty and in wretched housing conditions. The causes of violence in the ongoing ethnic conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which began in the late 1980s and has since resulted in 30,000 deaths, can mainly be analyzed using a constructivist framework. However, elements of a primordialist approach to national identity were also used by mobilizers totrigger political and social uprisings. This paper presupposes that the constructivist theories on identity formation and territorial claims offer a better explanation as to why the war over Nagorno-Karabakh broke out in the 1990s, and why, in 2010, the two parties are no closer to a resolution and the Nagorno-Karabakh region remains in limbo.   Full text available at: https://doi.org/10.22215/rera.v6i1.208

Abstract Member States of the WHO European Region are currently facing high migratory pressure, and violence and injury among refugees and migrants travelling to and living in the Region is a major health risk. The development and implementation of interventions to prevent and effectively deal with such incidences are necessary. The main findings of the WHO technical guidance Strategies and interventions on preventing and responding to violence and injuries among refugees and migrants will be presented as well as best practice examples from countries. Existing regulations and laws for the prevention of violence and protection of refuges and migrants across the WHO European Region will be discussed as well as recommended strategies and interventions: ensuring safe passage for migrationaddressing causes of violence and injuries in transit and destination countriesidentifying victims and providing care and protectioninvestigating and prosecuting perpetratorsstrengthening the knowledge base

To date, there is no synthetic, general theory of violence able to integrate the less complete theories of violent behaviour. There is little agreement among researchers about the causes of violence (not to mention what to do about it) and the field has become vast in terms of literature. This paper reviews theories of violence, mostly from sociology, political science and psychology both at the level of the individual and the collective. The paper is divided in two parts: the first deals with theories that see violence as a reaction, the second deals with those theories that see violence as a mean to attain goals.

Violencia Politica

Resumen.-El potencial de la violencia política y las formas específicas de sus manifestaciones en Colombia sólo pueden ser explicadas adecuadamente si se incluyen en el análisis la dimensión de la cultura del autoritarismo y sus características premodernas. Las causas de la violencia política pueden ser calificadas de múltiples: la destrucción del tejido social tradicional, la presión demográfica, las grandes migraciones internas, las expectativas de progreso individual, la debilidad de las instituciones y la democratización incompleta. Los movimientos guerrilleros se aprovecharon de estos factores, pero no supieron brindar a la población una alternativa moderna, realista y creíble. Palabras clave: autoritarismo, Colombia, conservadurismo, ELN, FARC, guerrillas, M-19. Premodern Political Cultural and Absence of Democracy. Colombia’s Violence as a Expression of the Traditional Environment Abstract.-The potential of political violence and the specific forms of its displays in Colombia cannot be duly analised without considering the dimension of the authoritarian culture and their premodern features. The causes of violence are many: the destruction of traditional social webs, demographic pressures, the frailty of institutions, the large intern migratory movements, and the uncompleted democratization process. Guerrilla movements derived profit from these factors, but they failed to exhibit a modern, realistic and plausible alternative for the population. Key words: authoritarianism, Colombia, conservatism, ELN, FARC, guerrilla, M-19.

Causes Of Violence

In response to Dr Blackman: Dr Blackman's letter confuses several distinct issues: 1) gun exposure of children seen in pediatric practices, 2) teen gun use, 3) the root causes of violence (eg, poverty), and 4) his model of "a stable and moral family environment." Our paper addresses only the first issue. Guns in the homes of pediatric practice attenders are not the cause of all of society's ills, nor of all gun violence. On the other hand, guns in the home are a proven hazard,1-4 which pediatric counseling may help to reduce.

Violence, War, and Capital Punishment in For the Life of the World: Toward a Social Ethos of the Orthodox Church

Social Ethos

In response to the challenges presented by violence, war, and capital punishment, For the Life of the World: Toward a Social Ethos of the Orthodox Church argues that foundational liturgical, canonical, and spiritual resources invite the Church to manifest a foretaste of the fullness of God’s peace amidst the brokenness of a world that remains tragically inclined toward taking the lives of those who bear the divine image and likeness. It also summons the Church to engage people and power structures toward the end of enacting practical reforms that ameliorate the underlying causes of violence, a task especially urgent in light of the powerful weapons and technologies employed by governments today. While reflecting distinctive Orthodox sensibilities on the topics it addresses, the document also presents points of commonality with other Christian traditions of theological and moral reflection, especially concerning the obligation to take realistic initiatives in peacemaking.

Electronic Meeting System

The increasing availability of mobile devices in today’s business contexts raises the demand to shift the focus of groupware framework design. Instead of solely focusing on functional requirements of specific application domains or device characteristics, nonfunctional requirements need to be taken into account as well. Flexibility concerning the integration of devices and tailorability of the framework according to different usage contexts is essential for addressing device heterogeneity. Besides flexibility, in order to support the development of real-world applications involving heterogeneous devices, robustness and scalability concerns have to be addressed explicitly by the framework. This article presents Agilo, a groupware framework for synchronous collaboration. The framework incorporates approaches addressing flexibility, robustness, and scalability issues. The combination of these concerns makes it suitable for development of collaborative applications involving up to hundreds of users. As an example application, a commercial electronic meeting system is presented by illustrating typical usage scenarios, explaining applicationspecific requirements and describing the system design.
