Chronic Pollution

Examples are cited from the literature of phytoplankton-related pollution and nutrition studies where the possibility of successful adaptation and subsequent growth could have been overlooked because of insufficient duration of algal exposure to the pollutant or nutrient tested. We present evidence from our investigations where: a) initial algal exposures as long as 20–40 days to the pollutant or alternative nutrient may be required for successful adaptation, and b) phytoplankters initially tolerating only a low level of pollutant concentration could be trained to accept severalfold higher levels by repeated exposure to gradually increasing pollutant concentration A plea is made for future investigators to recognize the importance of long-term bioassays ascertaining algal potential for adaptation, in order that their results may be ecologically realistic for the purpose of environmental protection against chronic pollution and eutrophication. The short-term "shock" response should be clearly distinguished from the long-term habituation response of phytoplankters to the test chemical in these bioassays. Possible problems raising questionable objections to the long-term bioassay approach are discussed.

Migration Politics

Each society has myths about the successful adaptation of former migrants. Historians need to deconstruct these myths by dealing with the imagined boundaries between “indigenous” and “foreign” people that give way to them. This essay does so by comparing how children of Polish interwar immigrants and children of Italian postwar immigrants came to be seen as insiders in the Belgian Limburg mining region. Oral testimonies, associational records, and population data reveal that Poles achieved the status of industrious, adapted people around 1960, due to the equal promotion of Polish and indigenous miners' sons in the mines and to the labour migration regime which constructed Italians as unskilled outsiders. Around 1980, the industrial recession caused unemployment among young Italians. However, migration politics has, since the recession, primarily focused on culture. Moreover, European legislation constructed foreignness as non-European. Consequently, it is not class, but European culture which has turned Italians into “integrated” people.

The paper reveals the essence and features of adap-tation of students during the transition to the fifth grade. The determination of the complexity of the course of adaptation is shown by the coincidence in time of external and internal crises associated with changes in the educational situation and the entry of fifth-graders into the younger adolescent age. The indicators of students' readiness to transfer to basic school and factors determining its effective-ness are presented. The role of purposeful activity in pedagogical attention to successful adaptation of fifth-graders is revealed. The main directions and content of the process of pedagogical attention to adaptation of students during the transition to the fifth grade are characterized. A complex of propae-deutic measures carried out in the fourth grade is listed. The work of the subjects of pedagogical at-tention to adaptation of students, carried out direct-ly in the fifth grade, is characterized.

Successful Adaptation

The article reveals some issues of application of incentive norms and institutions that stimulate law-abiding behavior of convicts sentenced to life imprisonment. It is proposed to supplement the penal enforcement legislation with a provision providing for the transfer of positively characterized convicts to life imprisonment to a penal colony of strict regime after serving at least 20 years in a correctional colony of special regime for life imprisonment. In order to increase the effectiveness of the incentive effect on convicts it also seems appropriate to provide for the possibility of transferring convicts from the strict regime to the colony-settlement for the following categories of persons: convicted with a particularly dangerous relapse of crimes; convicted to life imprisonment; convicted persons who have been commuted to the death penalty by way of pardon. The possibility of transfer to the colony-settlement for these categories of convicts will contribute to the maintenance and restoration of their socially useful ties and successful adaptation to the conditions of life in society. In addition it is necessary to change the mechanism of grant of parole and provide for this incentive institution only in respect of positively characterized convicts to life imprisonment, transferred by a court decision from the special regime for convicts to life imprisonment in the strict regime.

Vladimir Putin

This article analyzes the successful adaptation of the Russian Constitutional Court (RCC) to an increasingly authoritarian regime under President Vladimir Putin. It argues that the key to its success lay in its pragmatic approach, whereby the Court decides cases that matter to the regime in a politically expedient way, while giving priority to legal and constitutional considerations in other cases, thereby recognizing the reality of a dual state. Over the years the RCC has taken a pragmatic approach in its reaction to changes in the rules of its operations, in its personnel, and in the policies of the popular political leader, including reducing the country’s subordination of European legal norms. In so doing, the Court and its skillful chairman Valerii Zorkin achieved considerable autonomy in pursuing its own legal vision on many issues and even improved the implementation of its decisions by other judges and political bodies alike (previously a big problem). In short, the RCC developed its own version of “authoritarian constitutionalism”, which may serve as a model for constitutional judicial bodies in other authoritarian states.
