The process of intensive ageing of the population of Vojvodina, present for a long time, and specially the problems and changes in contemporary family in Vojvodina, require and need a well designed comprehensive program - based on the needs of the old persons - to solve the basic social-protection problems of the population of old persons, specially the struggle for a quality life at old age. On the one hand, such an attitude implies equal significance of prevention - so that old persons do not find themselves in a situation needing social support - as well as protection when they do get in such a situation; on the other hand, it implies ensuring a full confirmation of the concept of the active old age. At the same time, such an approach requires the development of all forms of social protection and an active participation and cooperation of all subjects in the society.

Abstract The art of bodypainting that is fairly unknown to a wider public turns the body into a canvas - it is a frequently used phrase in the field of bodypainting that illustrates the challenge it faces: it uses a three-dimensional surface and has to cope with its irregularities, but also with the model’s abilities and characteristics. This paper looks at individuals who are turned into art by bodypainting. Although body painting can be very challenging for them - they have to expose their bodies and to stand still for a long time while getting transformed - models report that they enjoy both the process and the result, even if they are not confident about their own bodies. Among the reasons there are physical aspects like the sensual enjoyment, but also the feeling of being part of something artistic. This is enhanced and preserved through double staging - becoming a threedimentional work of art and then being staged for photography or film clips. This process gives the model the chance to experience their own body in a detached way. On the one hand, bodypainting closely relates to the body and on the other hand, it can help to over-come the body.

AbstractAl-dād is a unique sound in Arabic. It is believed that this sound is what makes Arabic a distinguished language. However, its description has confused the linguists for long time. Some modern linguists believe that al-dād described by the ancient linguists is not used in the present time. On the other hand, Arabic speakers may not know that the sound they use for the classical pronunciation of al-dād is not the one described by the ancient Arab linguists. This study records the existence of a sound that has the features of al-dād as described by the ancient Arab linguists. It is used among some speakers in Southwest Saudi Arabia.

We investigate the transfer of bipartite (measured by cocurrence) and multipartite (measured by global discord) quantum correlations though spin chains under phase decoherence. The influence of phase decoherence and anisotropy parameter upon quantum correlations transfer is investigated. On the one hand, in the case of no phase decoherence, there is no steady state quantum correlations between spins. On the other hand, if the phase decoherence is larger than zero, the bipartite quantum correlations can be transferred through a Heisenberg XXX chain for a long time and there is steady state bipartite entanglement. For a Heisenberg XX chain, bipartite entanglement between two spins is destroyed completely after a long time. Multipartite quantum correlations of all spins are more robust than bipartite quantum correlations. Thus, one can store multipartite quantum correlations in spin chains for a long time under phase decoherence.

Abstract For quite a long time it has been part of the opinio communis within Hebrew Bible scholarship that compassion and empathy with persona miserae is in its very meaning invented by Ancient Israel. This view has been challenged by a comparative study of Frank C. Fensham. The present article shows on the one hand that care for the poor, widows and orphans is in fact not innovative. On the other hand, a closer analysis is able to show that the biblical and Jewish care for the strangers, slaves and animals is indeed unique.

The experience of passing and old agein the works of Victor Paskov and Stanislav StratievThe literary works of famous Bulgarian authors Stanislav Stratiev 1941–2000 and Victor Paskov 1949–2009 may be viewed in terms of athorough study of the human being and the multidimensionality of its existence. Their reflections about existential problems also involve the experience of passing and old age that have ontological, social, cultural, symbolic and metaphorical dimension. The novel A Ballad for George Henig 1987 by Paskov and the drama On the Other Side 1994 by Stratiev include clear and ambiguous images of the end of the human life. The experience of passing and old age affects aparticular person as apersonality and its relationship with the other people. This subject reveals, on the one hand, the crisis of human relations and values in contemporary Bulgarian society, on the other hand it emphasizes the fragility of the human condition, expressed in the experience of pain, illness, passing, old age and death.Опитът на преходност и старост в творчествотона Виктор Пасков и Станислав СтратиевТворчествотo на известнитe български автори Станислав Стратиев 1941–2000 и Виктор Пасков 1949–2009 можe да бъдe разгледанo кaто по-задълбочено изучаване на човешкото същество и на множествотo измерения на неговия живот. Интересът към екзистенциалните проблеми включва и описание на опита на преходност и старост, който притежава онтологично, социалнo, културнo, символично и метафорично измерение. Романът на Пасков Балада за Георг Хених 1987 и драмата на Стратиев От другатa страна 1994 представят изразителни и нееднозначни картини зa крайния етап от човешкия живот. Опитът на преходност и старост засяга човешкия индивид като личност и отношенията мy с близкитe и по-далечнaтa социална среда. Тeматa разкрива, от една страна, кризата на човешките отношения и на ценноститe в съвременното българското общество, от друга страна — подчертава крехкостта на човешкото съществуване, което се изразява в опита на страдание, заболяване, преходност, старост и смърт.

Rubber is a cultivated plant and became the lifeline of many peoples since a long time ago, without exception farmers in Tabir Ilir which became one of the rubber centers in Jambi Province with 15.787 hektares and 8.050 family. To get the result, rubber farmers in Tabir Ilir applies the rubber management mechanism independently and handed it over to others. The application of these two mechanisms is done by the rubber farmers based on their rational choice perspective. Rubber farmers with enough resources will choose how to manage independently, whereas for those who do not have sufficient resources, will choose to hand over their rubber management to others. The management mechanism chosen by these rubber farmers has an impact on the income inequality they earns. On the one hand, there are those who earns more than the management of rubber they do, while on the other hand there are those who get little results.Karet merupakan tanaman yang dibudidayakan dan menjadi tumpuan kehidupan banyak orang sejak lama, tak terkecuali petani di Tabir Ilir yang menjadi salah satu sentra karet di Provinsi Jambi dengan 15.787 hektares dan 8.050 keluarga. Untuk mendapatkan hasilnya, petani karet di Tabir Ilir menerapkan mekanisme pengelolaan karet secara mandiri dan menye-rahkannya kepada pihak lain. Penerapan kedua mekanisme ini dilakukan oleh petani karet berdasarkan perspektif pilihan rasional mereka. Petani karet dengan sumberdaya yang cukup akan memilih cara mengelola secara mandiri, sedangkan bagi mereka yang tidak memiliki sumberdaya yang memadai, akan memilih menyerahkan pengelolaan karetnya kepada orang lain. Mekanisme pengelolaan yang dipilih oleh petani karet ini berdampak pada ketimpangan pendapatan yang mereka peroleh. Di satu sisi, ada orang yang menghasilkan lebih dari pengelolaan karet yang mereka lakukan, sementara di sisi lain ada mendapat hasil yang kurangKeywords: rubber farmer, management mechanism, rational choice, unequility.

The Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) is becoming one of the most important equipment of the modern ship, especially for the combat vessel. In the one hand, Many types of data of the combat vessel can be recorded in time and be saved for a long time, which could be benefit for replaying some status or scenes of the vessel on some occasion. On the other hand, For the reason of the complex sources and instability of the data in VDR, It is difficult to separate the VDR voice signal completely, then it is inconvenient for the data retrieval. In this paper, a new method named Local-wave method has been used to resolve the problem in theory, which usually focus on the local feature of the signal. According to the simulation, this method separated the VDR voice signal more effective, and it will be useful to the data retrieve of VDR voice signal.

Abstract As part of NTT JTSR’s series on Key Texts, the present article discusses Cicero’s dialogue Cato Maior De Senectute (44 bce). Over the longue durée of western cultural history, the dialogue has been a key cultural reference. Even today, after the rise of modern gerontology, it is frequently cited. However, prevailing interpretations are hard-pressed to offer an even-handed and plausible view of the text. On the one hand, Cicero is presented uncritically as having anticipated all the latest results of today’s gerontological research. On the other hand, he is ridiculed as spokesman for a male Roman elite, drawing an unrealistically positive picture of old age. In this article a fresh interpretation is proposed, to contextualize and mitigate such extreme readings. De Senectute is primarily a consolation for old age, which uses themes and stratagems of the consolatory genre. It offers a more realistic view of old age than current ideas of ‘successful ageing’ and can contribute to a concept of age-adapted wellbeing.

Discourses on old age and ageing are framed in narrow and binary ways, either as a decline narrative or through discourses of positive and successful ageing. The decline narrative, on the one hand, is highly centred on the decline of the ageing body as frail, leaky and unbounded, and on how old age is characterised by non-productivity, increasing passivity and dependency. Discourses on successful ageing, on the other hand, rely heavily on neo-liberal imperatives of activity, autonomy and responsibility. In successful ageing, the specificities of ageing bodies are largely overlooked while the capacity of the old person to retain a youthful body, for example, with the aid of sexuopharmaceuticals, is celebrated. This article argues for the need of a theorising of old age that goes beyond the binaries of decline and success. Drawing on the work of feminist corpomaterialists Rosi Braidotti and Elisabeth Grosz, the article proposes affirmative old age as an alternative conceptualisation of old age. As a theoretical project, affirmative old age aims to acknowledge the material specificities of the ageing body and is an attempt to theorise the ageing body in terms of difference but without understanding it as a body marked by decline, lack or negation.

For a long time, historical educational research has seen a decline in its representation in university teaching and academic posts. Concurrently, its thematic and methodological variation has expanded impressively in the last two decades. This volume, dedicated to Edith Glaser, aims to enrich the legitimacy discourse on the importance and necessity of educational historical expertise from two perspectives. On the one hand, it presents exemplary fields of research in the history of education, on the other hand, contributions show the relevance of historical educational research for other (sub-)disciplines.
