Artikel ini membincangkan sumbangan Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) terhadap masyarakat Melayu di Malaysia dalam menangani isu-isu sosioekonomi, 1971-2000-an. Kajian artikel ini dilakukan untuk mengisi kekurangan penulisan terhadap sumbangan badan NGO Islam bukan kerajaan yang dikenali sebagai gerakan Islam ABIM kepada masyarakat Melayu dalam menangani isu-isu sosioekonomi. Isu-isu sosioekonomi masyarakat Melayu selepas merdeka adalah sangat meruncing dan ini ditambah lagi dengan kesan Dasar Ekonomi Baru (DEB) yang diperkenalkan pada tahun 1970. Masyarakat Melayu masih terpinggir dari aspek sosioekonomi khususnya pendidikan Islam dan jurang pendapatan masih membimbangkan. Maka gerakan Islam ABIM bangkit membantu masyarakat Melayu dalam menangani isu-isu sosioekonomi ini. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah pendekatan disiplin sejarah dengan menganalisis dokumen terhadap sumber primer seperti Laporan Tahunan ABIM, Risalah, Siaran Media, Kenyataan Akhbar, Ucapan Dasar Muktamar dan melalui temu bual. Sumber sekunder pula dikumpul daripada kajian perpustakaan berdasarkan bahan ilmiah, buku, akhbar dan data atas talian. Hasil kajian membuktikan bahawa dari aspek sosial sistem pendidikan dalam gerakan Islam ABIM berjaya memenuhi keperluan sistem pendidikan Islam kepada masyarakat Melayu selari dengan pendidikan nasional. Sistem pendidikan dalam gerakan Islam ABIM yang terancang dan tersusun memberikan kesan kepada lahirnya pendidikan diniah. Manakala dari aspek ekonomi pula gerakan Islam ABIM telah menubuhkan Koperasi Belia Islam Malaysia Berhad (KBI) yang dapat menambah pendapatan masyarakat Melayu khususnya dalam kalangan ahli semakin meningkat.  Gerakan Islam ABIM juga secara tidak langsung dapat membantu pihak kerajaan Malaysia menyeimbangkan sosioekonomi penduduk khususnya masyarakat Melayu sehingga tahun 2000.

The object of this research is the methods used in design practices of post-Soviet time to give historical appearance to landscapes of former estates of Moscow region, which faded away, i.e. the methods of historicization. The landscapes under review are being protected by the government as the objects of Moscow cultural heritage, and designated as museums (reserve museums) and public parks. The subject of this research is disclosure of the essence of these methods and their assessment from the perspective of alignment with historical primary sources, implementation, proliferation, and attractiveness. The author conducts systematization of methods in accordance to the degree of conformance to the historical realities, and divides them into the following groups: 1) that provide accurate reproduction of historical forms, 2) that create similarities, 3) that create new forms. Each group is divided into subgroups. By frequency of application, the leading place belongs to the methods of first group, which are aimed at reproduction of the shapes of buildings and structures. The rest two methods focus on reviving the memory of the past. The application is attributed to new construction, which can be assessed as landscape evolution and a modern artistic phenomenon. The methods of second group lead to landscape development in spirit of historicism, while the methods of third group – to the development of territory based on modern vision of the past. The conducted analysis is valued for the general outlook upon the process of preservation of one of the most complex types of cultural heritage of Moscow.

India is rich in natural water resources, but because of the uneven distribution of resources and improper management, the major part of the country suffers from drought almost every year. The present study is based upon the inappropriate management of water resources in the urban and rural area of Jabalpur. The present paper intends to find out the actual condition of management of water resources by the municipal corporation of Jabalpur, whether the citizens of Jabalpur are benefitted through the policies made by the government for the equal distribution of water resources, are the policies adequately implemented and monitored once they are made?The data has been collected from secondary and primary sources, and simple percentage method has been used to analyze the collected data. The outcome of the study reveals that the government is trying to manage the water resource and is concentrated on the equal distribution of water in both urban and rural areas. Many policies have been prepared by the local government, but ineffective monitoring is the leading cause of improper management of water resources.

AbstractIn the 4th and 5th centuries B.C. the most significant paradigm change in Western intellectual culture occurred, later affecting Christianity and subsequently science. In the interest of personal empowerment over spontaneous stirrings, a private inner sphere, a so-called soul (psyche) was ascribed to every conscious subject which was taken to contain their whole experience, like a house, conceived of as an inner world in which reason was to be the master of spontaneous impulses; the empirical external world between these inner spheres was cleansed of all gripping forces and, for this purpose, ground down to a few elegantly selected types of features and their carriers (atoms, substances): the remainder of this grindingdown was deposited in the souls or overlooked to nonetheless be found in the souls in changed form. Man was dissected into body and soul. In the transposition into the soul’s huge amounts of life experience were forgotten. Among them can be counted the felt body which disappeared between body and soul as in a crevasse, even though it is the closest thing to human experience.

This handbook presents a broad sampling of current historical scholarship on Shakespeare’s period that it is hoped will prove useful to scholars of his poems and plays. Rather than attempting to summarize the historical ‘background’ to Shakespeare, individual chapters explore numerous topics and methodologies at the forefront of current historical research. An initial cluster shows how political history has expanded beyond a traditional focus on relations between Crown and Parliament to encompass attention to attempts by the government to manage opinion; military challenges; problems in subduing Ireland and mediating relations between the British kingdoms; and the interplay between national affairs and local factions and concerns. Additional chapters deal with relationships between intellectual culture and political imagination, with detailed attention to varieties of early modern historical thought and the emergence of a ‘public sphere’. Other contributors examine facets of religious and social history, including scriptural translation, concepts of the devil, cultural attitudes concerning honour, shame and emotion, and life in London. A final section deals with vernacular architecture, Renaissance gardens, visual culture and theatrical music.

The Russian Revolution has not yet achieved the status of the French Revolution as an academic preserve for battalions of professional historians, but few are likely to deny that its impact on the twentieth century is already more profound than that of the French upheaval on the nineteenth. The fiftieth anniversary of the Russian Revolution is now upon us, and it is a melancholy commentary on the uncertain intellectual climate of the Soviet Union that despite lavish funds, abundant trained personnel, and access to archives and primary sources unavailable in the West, Soviet historians have failed to produce a work of permanent importance on this crucial episode of modern Russian history. Yet the stifling orthodoxy of Stalinism has given way to the uncertain but relative freedom under his successors, and the auguries point to a further mellowing of the party line as Soviet society haltingly approaches the educational and living standards of the Western world.
