In this chapter, drawing on interviews with parents approximately a year after they enrolled in the program, participants reflected on what it meant to them to take part. Some credited the program with helping to address core issues in their relationships, often around trust and communication. This did not mean relationships were perfect or arguments didn’t occur. Rather, couples saw things moving in the right direction, which gave them a sense that their relationships were worth investing in. When couples had inadequate living space or social-psychological resources, it could be difficult for them to institute the techniques they learned in the program. Women who broke up with their partners felt supported by the program staff during this transition. These findings can shed light on the quantitative results of a federally funded national study of relationship education programs, Building Strong Families.

The Eu

In a resolution adopted on 1 February 2018, the European Committee of the Regions noted that a legislative proposal of the European Commission concerning a Regulation that changes the rules governing the EU regional funds for 2014-2020 did not comply with the principle of subsidiarity. Accordingly, the Committee considered challenging the legislative proposal before the Court of Justice if the proposal was formally agreed upon. Although at a later stage the European Commission decided to take into account the Committee’s argument and amended the proposal accordingly, such a context offers the chance to investigate more in detail the role of the Committee of the Regions in the legislative process of the EU and, more in particular, its role as a watchdog of the principle of subsidiarity. This paper aims to shed light on a rather neglected aspect of the EU constitutional practice, such as the potential of the Committee of the Regions to contribute to the legislative process, and answer the question of whether this Committee is the right body to guarantee compliance with the principle of subsidiarity.

The Impact

Fair procedures have long been a topic of great interest for human rights lawyers. Yet, few authors have drawn on research from other disciplines to enrich the discussion. Social psychological procedural justice research has demonstrated in various applications that, besides the final outcome, the manner in which one’s case is handled matters to people as well. Such research has shown the impact of procedural justice on individuals’ well-being, their acceptance of unfavourable decisions, perceptions of legitimacy and public confidence. The ECtHR has confirmed the desirability of these effects in its fair trial jurisprudence. Thus far, it remains unclear to what extent the guarantees offered by Article 6(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights (the right to a fair trial) coincide with the findings of empirical procedural justice research. This article aims to rectify this and uncover similarities between the two disciplines.

Based on a two-week daily diary study of 31 leader–follower dyads, this article demonstrates that within-person variation in the leader’s level of state core self-evaluations is associated with within-person variation in the follower’s level of state core self-evaluations. Moreover, we provide tentative evidence that this crossover effect might be mediated by transformational leadership behavior. Our study contributes to personality and leadership research by exploring within-leader, within-follower, and within-dyad personality processes. By showing that the personality states of leader and follower fluctuate in sync, we shed light on a new way in which leaders and followers connect.

AbstractAccording to Tocqueville, the freedom of the press, which he treats as an extension of the freedom of speech, is a primary constituent element of liberty. Tocqueville treats the freedom of the press in relation to and as an extension of the right to assemble and govern one’s own affairs, both of which he argues are essential to preserving liberty in a free society. Although scholars acknowledge the importance of civil associations to liberty in Tocqueville’s political thought, they routinely ignore the importance he places on the freedom of the press and speech. His reflections on the importance of the free press and speech may help to shed light on the dangers of recent attempts to censor the press and speech.

In the early 1980s a systematic investigation was begun by G. Fornaciari and his staff of a series of mummies from central and southern Italy, and in particular of important Renaissance remains. The study of a substantial number of artificial mummies has shed light on the human embalming techniques connected with the methods and procedures described by medical and non-medical authors in the early modern period. This has made it possible to reconstruct the history of the art of mummification, from the ‘clyster’ techniques to the partial or total evisceration of the corpse, to the intravascular injection of drying and preserving liquors. In addition to the bodies of Aragonese princes and members of the Neapolitan nobility, interred in the Basilica of San Domenico in Naples are the remains of important French personages dating to the modern age. Among the tombs arranged in two parallel rows to the right of the balcony are four sarcophagi containing the bodies of the wife and three children of Jean Antoine Michel Agar, who served as the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Naples from 1809 to 1815. The type of wrapping used for the corpses of the children presents strong analogies to those of ancient Egyptian mummies.

The authors prove the relevance of the study of the effectiveness of professional activities of employees in relation to personal characteristics and functional states in extreme conditions, especially in conditions of the shift work in the Far North. The purpose of the study was to analyze the interrelationship between the efficiency of professional activities of shift workers in a mining and processing factory with their social and psychological qualities and functional states during the shift-work period. Study group: 41 shift workers of the mining and processing factory of one of the diamondiferous deposits of the Arkhangelsk region. Methods of research included the psychological testing, set of psychophysiological techniques. The research show the social-psychological characteristics of the personality such as an evaluation of others as an etalon of oneself, moderate severity of altruistic type of attitude towards people, desire to achieve results in their activities at an average level, ability to control one’s feelings and emotions to be important for the effectiveness of the professional activity of shift specialists. The states of high effective workers are estimated at the level of the norm according to the indices of well-being and mood, the activity is estimated below the norm. The states of high-performance workers are also characterized by heteronomy and a strong degree of predominance of the right hemisphere. Average effective workers have a setting for the result at a level above the average, developed the ability to control one’s feelings, responsibility towards people. The states arising in the course of the labor activity, average-effective workers are estimated to be on average higher than the group of highly efficient workers. They are more autonomous and have a small degree of predominance of the right hemisphere. Employees, judged by experts as average-effective, resort to the use of the adaptation strategy for the emergency job, highly effective workers use economical strategy.

Overvægt spiller en stor rolle i den offentlige debat, mens undervægt til dels er et overset problem. Formålet med denne artikel er at belyse undervægt ud fra et sociologisk perspektiv med fokus på individ- og strukturperspektivet. Til at belyse denne problemstilling anvendes data fra Projekt 3A, som omfatter 1.092 skoleelever i Aalborg Kommune. Undersøgelsen blev foretaget i 2008-2011 med dataindsamling i 2008, da eleverne gik i 6. klasse samt i 2010, da eleverne gik i 8. klasse. Resultaterne viste, at piger med højt uddannede mødre havde en større sandsynlighed for at blive undervægtige end piger af lavt uddannede mødre. Endvidere fremgik det, at sandsynligheden for undervægt steg på de skoler, hvor eleverne blev udsat for en intervention, som øger viden om egen sundhed og til dels en intervention, som er rettet mod adfærdsændringer. Det fremgik desuden også, at interventionen, som øger viden om egen sundhed, øgede den sociale ulighed i vægt. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Annette Quinto Romani: Overdoing the Right Thing – Advantaged Parents and Underweight Overweight is an important topic in the public debate, while underweight is an often ignored problem. The purpose of this article is to shed light on underweight in a sociological perspective focusing on both individual and structural perspectives. To illustrate this I use data from Project 3A, which includes 1.092 schoolchildren in the Municipality of Aalborg. The study was conducted in 2008-2011, where data was collected in 2008 when the schoolchildren attended 6th grade and in 2010 when they attended 8th grade. The results indicate that girls with mothers having a higher education are more likely to be underweight as opposed to girls with lower educated mothers. In addition, the results indicate that the likelihood of underweight to some extend increased among the schoolchildren who were exposed to an intervention that increased their own health knowledge, and to a behavioral altering intervention. Social inequality in weight was increased by the intervention that increases own health knowledge. Key words: Underweight, social inequality, self-perceived weight, issue of elite.

<p>In this paper we aim to add additional knowledge regarding the occurrence, origin and epidemiological features of the English sweating sickness. The English sweating sickness raged in five devastating epidemics with mortality rates between 30 and 50% between 1485 and 1551 throughout England, and on one occasion also affected mainland Europe, in 1529. The Picardy sweat, generally considered as the English sweating sickness’ lesser deadly successor, flared up in France in 1718 and caused 196 localized outbreaks with varying severity all over France and neighboring countries up to 1861. The English sweating sickness has been the subject of numerous attempts to define its origin, but so far all efforts have failed due to lack of material, DNA or RNA, that - using modern techniques and knowledge - could shed light on its cause. Although the time frame in which the English sweating sickness occurred and the geographical spread of the outbreaks is generally known, we will demonstrate here that there was more to it than meets the eye. We found reports of cases of sweating sickness in years before, after and between the 1485, 1508, 1517, 1529 and 1551 epidemics, as well as reports of sweating sickness in Italy and Spain.</p><p><strong>Conclusion. </strong>In spite of the fact that the English sweating sickness apparently has not caused casualties for a more than a century now, we suggest that -given the right circumstances- the possibility of re-emergence might still exist. The fact that up until today we have no indication concerning the causal pathogen of the English sweating sickness is certainly not re-assuring.</p>

AbstractBritish perceptions of the United States in Indochina between 1957 and 1963 were cautious and constructive. This article examines the perceptions of policymakers in Prime Minister Harold MacMillan's government and public opinion as expressed in the Times of London. British policymakers had basic doubts regarding American policy in Indochina, but Britain remained involved in the region after 1954 and agreed with the United States on defining the problem and on the broad methodological approach to the crisis. London wanted to ensure that Washington pursued the “right” policy in Indochina, that Britain utilized its expertise in post-colonial and counter-insurgency, and that the Anglo- American alliance maintained its importance for both countries. The study of these perceptions reveals some concerns which we would anticipate, but also shows that Britain respected the United States as a leader in the region and that it agreed with the United States on core issues.
