The paper defends the notion that cosmopolitanism is an important starting point for addressing political identities, but one that needs to be rethought. The paper starts by exposing some political situations both in Europe and in North America where the debate on national identity is faced with the need for a renewed idea of cosmopolitanism, an idea that must be differentiated from similar notions such as cultural diversity or multiculturalism, but also from the idea of globalization. It shows in this sense that there is an important and often forgotten difference between cosmopolitanism and politics, an essential difference when thinking about the real situation in Europe. The paper explains how contemporary cosmopolitanism has its roots in the Stoic and Kantian ideals, ideals that are no longer serviceable and that need to be renewed to confront the new demands of the complexity of the world. The paper concludes defending a new cosmopolitanism (tending towards the line of Hans Jonas or Yves Charles Zarka) that should be respectful to politics (but without forgetting that cosmopolitanism should be prioritised over politics) and also with different national or supranational identities, since it in fact provides a meta-identity for man as a citizen of the world. Received: 02 July 2018 Accepted: 16 July 2018 Published online: 27 February 2019

Over The Top

Since Andrée's magnificent failure to fly to the North Pole in a balloon in 1897, two great epochs have been marked in polar aviation. The first was the epoch of adventure, lasting nearly 60 years, which attracted to its ranks such men as Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth, Umberto Nobile, Richard Byrd, Charles Lindbergh, Gino Watkins and the real father of Arctic aviation, Hubert Wilkins. Many others added their quota of experience until enough was known, and the technique of long-range polar flying had developed sufficiently far, for a regular air line to start operations across the North Polar Basin. That was on 15 November 1954 when Scandinavian Airways System (SAS) opened the first air route over the top of the world, from Europe to North America. This heralded the second epoch—the one of consolidation, and the purpose of this article is to describe very briefly the course of developments during these last seven and a half years.

Broadcast media can powerfully influence the way we view the world. Journalists drawn to sensational news items do not necessarily portray the real situation they are describing. Often they strengthen belief in stereotyped images, such as the ‘mad axeman’. Yet they have the potential to foster greater public understanding of mental illness and a more responsible attitude to sufferers.

Academic Results

As we care to create a successful learning for every student we talk about students’ capacity to evaluate their own studying process. It is thought that when student is able to assess his own learning his academic results tends to be much higher than students who prefer not to assess themselves. Thus, it is recommended to begin self-assessment lessons in a primary school. Nevertheless, the importance of self-assessment is being highly analyzed there are few empirical researches which would show the real situation of how it works with students in the first grade. Also, it is proven that at this age children understands the world as a unified system, thus the subjects at school should be as much related as possible. When talking about self-assessment it is easier to try it in the context which is less difficult to understand. In this research we have integrated two lessons of arts and Lithuanian language. After completing the research we have noticed some significant changes in students’ perception of self-assessment. They mentioned that when they can assess themselves they can notice what was good in their work and where do they have to improve. The majority of students said that self-assessment is necessary for them and after the research they are going to assess themselves more often.

The Press

Taking the field of specialized press as a starting point, this study aims at determining and understanding the mechanisms of representation employed by the press for women, also known as women´s magazines and women´s pages. Stereotypes, understood as a representation tool, determine the actual models and icones for women in women´s magazines, and besides, permit comparison with the real situation of the contemporary Spanish woman. This paper also argues about the correspondence between media stereotypes and social stereotypes used in the interviews published by «Telva» in almost 40 years. Tomando como punto de partida el campo de la prensa especializada, este estudio trata de determinar y de estudiar los mecanismos de representación usados por la prensa para mujeres o prensa femenina. Los estereotipos, entendidos como una herramienta de representación, determinan los actuales modelos e iconos de género en la prensa femenina y, a su vez, permiten la comparación con la situación real de la mujer española contemporánea. Este artículo también versa sobre la correspondencia entre los estereotipos mediáticos y los estereotipos sociales usados en las entrevistas publicadas en «Telva» durante casi 40 años.

Islamic Civilization

<p>The progress of Islamic civilization is inseparable from the influence of the emergence and rapid development of Islamic astronomy. Islam leads the world civilization and breaks the record as the longest-running civilization lasting more than 14 centuries. At this time, astronomical activities in the Islamic world began to develop intensively. This condition cannot be separated from the role of al-Khwarizmi who made a very valuable contribution. The construction of his thinking which was based on mathematical astronomy made him the foundation of the development of Islamic astronomy, in addition to its development of the geocentric theory of Aristotle and Ptolemy. This is the real contribution of al-Khwarizmi that is very large and fundamental in the heyday of medieval Islam which eventually became the starting point of the scientific development and subsequent Muslim astronomers to date. The emergence of various observatories and planetariums which made observations with more modern tools finally gave birth to many new theories in the study of world astronomy. This study explores al-Khwarizmi's role in the growth and development of astronomy in his time to the present.</p>

The Relationship

The absence of a typology of irony in the theory of fiction stems from the fact that irony and fiction differently form and transform reality – fiction is a kind of fictional depiction of amazing worlds or phenomena. On the contrary, irony does not create worlds; in it, the subject comments on reality, adding another vision, a vision with a reassessment and deviation from what is said or presented. Irony can comment on the realities of different ontological status, that is, irony can relate to the real world and the fictional world, whether it is real or amazing. Fantasy transforms the world – it distorts, destroys or completes, or builds new worlds, and irony already adds a different vision to the ideas and views presented, regardless of whether they are real or fictional. The terminological and literary-theoretical aspects of the use of irony in works of literary fiction are discussed in the text. Dragan Stojanović’s book “Irony and Meaning” and the author’s terms “Ironical Focus” and “Meaning Pressure” are used as a theoretical starting point. After highlighting the touchpoints of irony and fiction and their special qualities and roles, is proposed a typology of the use of irony in fiction that separates ironic actions concerning the real world, the marvelous world and problematizing the relationship between the real and the marvelous world.

In North America, one could very easily get a distorted view of the rest of the world when it comes to internet access. in the USA and Canada, one can stay connected continually, without regard to cost. And the connections tend to be fast and convenient.But this is not the case in most of the rest of the world. While there are some notable exceptions, Australia and Israel for example, many in the international microscopy and microanalysis community have to struggle with connections that are either very slow, or very expensive, or both, in fact, in many parts of the world, internet content is routinely not with the benefit of graphics. This is really a great disadvantage since, in many instances, the real important information is contained within the graphics. Even in the USA and Canada, because of firewall considerations or other concerns, a surprisingly large number of end users do not have internet access at their main workstations, and they have to suffer the inconvenience of using some kind of shared resource, either “down the hall” or worse yet, in another building.

Gender quotas have spread rapidly around the world in recent years. However, few studies have yet theorized, systematically or comparatively, variations in their features, adoption and implementation. This article surveys quota campaigns in Western Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. It proposes that one or more sets of controversies influence the course and outcomes of quota reforms. These revolve around (1) competing principles of equality, (2) different ideas about political representation, and (3) various beliefs about ‘gender’ and its relation to other kinds of political identities. The article draws on these distinctions to identify four broad models of political citizenship that determine the kinds of quota policies that are pursued and their prospects for bringing more women into political office.

The increasing number of malware spread in the world today, then there will be more opportunities to commit crime, so readiness is needed for every internet user in dealing with these crimes. The readiness to handle crime is called digital forensic readiness. Therefore, we need a specific digital forensic readiness model to measure the level of readiness of internet users or institutions in achieving malware attacks. This model has the main components used to determine or calculate the level of readiness of internet users or institutions, the main components are the strategy component, the policy & procedure component, the technology & security component, the digital forensic response component, the control & legality component. The calculation method used in this study is a Likert Scale, with this method the results will be obtained that are closer to the real situation. The value / index of readiness level obtained will provide recommendations to internet users and these recommendations can be used to make improvements properly and on target.
