This case study explores how a charitable organization, World Vision Canada, engages publics of various ideological backgrounds and moves them to donate based on a number of contingency factors, as well as the community-building and co-creational theories of public relations. How the organization is identifying, communicating, listening, and responding to core audiences of various denominations and faith backgrounds was studied. Three salient points emerged from interviews, documentation, and archival records: First, the organization is able to identify and communicate with its broad base of core audiences, and it has been able to do so thus far by striking the right balance. Second, it has mechanisms in place that allow it to listen and engage with these audiences deeply and regularly. Finally, the organization needs to further articulate its Christian identity, to better communicate how development work is carried out in the context of its faith motivations, and to tailor communications uniquely for current and future audiences.

This chapter analyzes the right to unionize. It first describes the doctrinal aspects of this right, and how it is organizational in nature. It also theorizes why unions are well equipped to protect the right to unionize and other workers’ rights, and why the constitution can help them do so. It then presents results from a global statistical analysis, which reveal that constitutional protections of the right to unionize are systematically associated with higher levels of respect for the right to unionize practice. It attributes this finding to the actions by trade unions, which use the constitution to protect their rights. This chapter also presents findings from a case study on the right to unionize in Tunisia, which illustrates how trade unions strategically used the Tunisian Constitution to protect their rights.

The central argument presented in the article is that user embracement is a fundamental condition for the achievement of the right of education in the EJA modality. In order to do so, we have done a case study qualitative research and a bibliographic review about the conception and the practice of user embracement at Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental (Municipal School of Primary Education) Porto Alegre – EPA located in Porto Alegre / RS. This school receives young and adult homeless people. As a conclusion, the main attributes and pedagogical guidelines of what is known as user embracement at the EPA are presented, and political-conceptual elements about this subject are selected.

Do So

This article examines how three transmasculine persons are subjectified in the Danish treatment system. Based on a multiple case study with three transmasculine persons, we analyse how the treatment system encourages them to perform a more traditional masculinity in order to be culturally intelligible and in order to be assessed as being eligible for treatment. We explore the struggle of subjectivity embedded in these practices. By investigating the concrete subjectification mechanisms and the ways these are dealt with by transmasculine persons, we support existing literature identifying the queer community as a strategic resource in regard to teaching new patients how to “be wrong the right way.” They do so by sharing knowledge about how best to manage the system in order to get closer to living the lives they want. The study contributes theoretically by shedding light on the subjectification processes producing not only boundaries between normal and abnormal (such as binary and nonbinary), but also between legitimate abnormal (binary transgender) and illegitimate abnormal (nonbinary transgender).

This chapter analyzes the right to form political parties. It first describes the doctrinal aspects of this right, and how it is organizational in nature. It also theorizes the extent to which political parties are able to mobilize to protect their rights, and whether and how the constitution can help them do so. The chapter also draws attention to important differences between opposition parties and ruling parties. It then presents results from a global statistical analysis, which reveal that constitutional protections of the right to form political parties are systematically associated with higher levels of respect for party rights and levels of democratization. It attributes this finding to the actions by political parties, which use the constitution to protect their rights. It also presents findings from a case study in Myanmar, which demonstrates how the constitutional protection of political parties facilitated the emergence of dozens of new parties and how the new parties used the Myanmar Constitution to protect their interests.

Current Reality

I congratulate the authors of this article for their beneficial and much-needed work. I consider this work to be a bright shining light in a dark tunnel and a brave move in the right direction. The true value of this work is far beyond the treatment of 71 patients; it implants hope where there is confusion, promotes love where there is hate, and initiates trust and confidence where mistrust is common. Today, humanitarian aid groups and relief organizations face unique, difficult conditions, and sometimes must answer obscure questions and respond to new problems. History tells us that the war ends when the cease fire starts, that humanitarian organizations are well-received and protected, and that victims and patients respect and trust those providing medical treatment, regardless of their nationality. However, current reality reveals that a cease fire sometimes marks the start of a different war with a different strategy. The number of victims after the cease fire may exceed the number of conventional war victims. Some politicians generalize, classify, and reclassify people, creating mistrust, a lack of confidence, and confusion. It is sad to see victims who need treatment, while nearby there are well-meaning people willing to treat them but who are unable to do so without great risk.

This essay explores the conceptualization of warfare in Romanticism. The focus is on two plays by Heinrich von Kleist, Penthesilea and Prince Friedrich von Homburg. I begin by discussing Carl von Clausewitz's influential understanding of conflict and the problems that arise when he attempts to explain the interdependence of warring parties. I go on to argue that in Kleist's dramas war is a competition between different languages of authority. When no coherent paradigm of agency emerges from this contest, the right to wage war is revealed to be anything but a guarantee that one knows how to do so.

The paper deals with the issues related to the pollution of aquatic ecosystems. The influence of turbulence on the transport and dispersion of pollutants in the mentioned systems, as well as the calculation of the turbulent diffusion coefficients are studied. A case study on the determination of turbulent diffusion coefficients for some sectors of the Prut River is presented. A new method is proposed for the determination of the turbulent diffusion coefficients in the pollutant transport equation for specific sectors of a river, according to the associated number of P�clet, calculated for each specific area: the left bank, the right bank and the middle of the river.
