Parallel to the discourse of Tropical Architecture and the work of UK architects in the British colonial territories in the Middle East, Africa, and India after the WWII, climate adaptation designs or devices such as brise-soleil, perforated cement bricks, sun shading screens, courtyards, etc., started to emerge in modernist buildings in Asia. This article is a preliminary survey of these cases in Hong Kong and Macau since the 1950s. It discusses how tropicality was used in response to the post-war revisionism of Modern Movement that placed emphasis on local identity and culture.

The article will focus on the conflicts between individual rights and collective religious autonomy in Europe. The goal is to analyze the approach taken by the European Court of Human Rights to these conflicts and investigate how it influences both individual and collective religious freedom, how it may affect domestic solutions, and how it may be related to other relevant processes in the fields of law, religion and politics at the European level, e.g., in the context of the Council of Europe and the European Union as well as in the (somewhat specific) context of East European countries. The article will put forward an individual (personal) autonomy-based framework for the court to deal with these conflicts.

This chapter gives a general overview of the development of cantorial singing in the Polish lands. It discusses eastern Europe as the youngest when it came to the traditions of synagogue music. It also explains how eastern Europe is rooted in the Middle East and its direct origins lie in the medieval traditions of the Ashkenazi community in southern Germany. The chapter focuses on Poland and its pre-partition borders that became an important centre of Jewish culture, and the art of hazanut. It discusses the east European hazanim that were characterized by great mobility, which was the result of their studying with a hazan who did not live locally, of their attending Polish or foreign universities, and of travelling long distances with their meshorerim.

The Government

One of the critically important trends in the government and politics of the East European Communist states in recent years has been the quite steady and rapid development in Yugoslavia of some striking forms of pluralization and institutionalization of power, and of some concomitant fairly well enforced legal restrictions on power. The development is often called by the Yugoslavs their movement toward “constitutionalism and legality.” However, though Titoism has been much studied, this particular movement, one of the most far-reaching and fundamental of all of the Titoist innovations, has received little explicit examination in Western scholarship, even in such a colorful manifestation as the exercise by the new constitutional courts of the power of judicial review over major legislation approved by the party. This article deals with the nature and dynamics of the movement and with some implications it may have.

Povzetek: Leta 2016 in predvsem 2017 so se na kriznih območjih Bližnjega vzhoda in Severne Afrike pojavile nekatere pozitivne spremembe. Spodbuden dogodek je bila uspešna akcija iraških in pešmerskih sil, ki jih podpira zahodna koalicija, proti tako imenovani Islamski državi, katere rezultat je bila izguba ozemlja ekstremističnih organizacij. Avtor analizira vidike kriznih območij, in sicer Iraka, Sirije in Libije, ki se nanašajo na posledice nerešenega vprašanja migrantov. Poleg kriznih območij predstavlja tudi situacijo tujih borcev in varnostna tveganja, ki jih povzroča njihova vrnitev v domovino. Navaja ukrepe, ki so jih sprejele EU in njene države članice, da bi preprečile in obvladale grožnjo, ki jo predstavlja vračanje tujih borcev. Ključne besede: Bližnji vzhod, Evropska unija, migracije, Sirija, Libija, tuji borci. Abstract: In 2016, but mainly in 2017 some positive changes happened in the crisis areas of the Middle East and North Africa. Encouraging event was the successful actions of Iraqi and Peshmerga forces supported by the western coalition against the so called Islamic State, the result is the loss of territory of the extremist organizations. The author analyzes the perspectives of the crisis areas, namely Iraq, Syria and Libya, referring to the effects of the unresolved migrant issue. Besides the two crisis zones, he also presents the situation of foreign fighters and the security risks posed by their return. He specifies the measures taken by the EU and its member states to avert and handle the threat represented by returning foreign fighters. Key words: Middle-East, European Union, migration, Syria, Libya, foreign fighters.

<p>A total number of 35 spider species and more than 170 insect species from five orders were recorded from the southeast of Poltava Region through the pitfall-trapping in the floodplain meadows. Six spider species, eight true bug species, and five beetle species are new for Poltava Region; one spider species (<em>Pardosa maisa</em>) and one fly species (<em>Aphanotrigonum</em><em> </em><em>brachypterum</em>) are new for Ukraine. For <em>A.</em><em> </em><em>brachypterum, </em>it is the first record from the East European Plain. Spider assemblages were the most abundant in the terms of species and individuals in a saline meadow while the beetles preferred mesic non-saline meadows. A checklist of collected species is given, and the geographic distribution of the rare species is discussed.</p>

The aim of the paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of regulations regarding compensation for wrongful detention on remand in three continental law states - Germany, France and Poland - in order to identify the similarities and differences between the adopted provisions and critically assess their advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of an optimum model of such compensation. Legal regulations regarding compensation for wrongful preliminary detention are matter of crucial importance, because they not only protect the right to liberty, by making the State accountable for its violations, but also strengthen confidence in criminal justice system. If the state is granted power to do justice and that prerogative is be to accepted by individuals, there has to exist an effective mechanism of compensating damages resulting from defective functioning of courts. The significance of the above-mentioned mechanism is visible especially in situations where the deprivation of liberty occurs before the final judgment is passed. In such cases those who are detained are people protected by the presumption of innocence. Wrongful detention of an innocent person is a particularly serious case, calling for a firm and speedy reaction of the State. Analysis of German, French and Polish regulations concerning compensation for wrongful detention on remand includes their brief history, grounds for claiming compensation, exemptions from state’s liability and analysis of procedure allowing to demand compensation. The comparison between two major Western European jurisdictions (Germany and France) and major Central and East European jurisdiction (Poland) indicates that there are remarkable differences between regulations regarding compensation for wrongful preliminary detention. They concern grounds for compensation, exemptions from state liability and, particularly, the mode of claiming compensation. The differences between analysed legal systems justify a critical analysis of adopted provisions in order to establish which model, using the expression of the European Court of Human Rights, best guarantees that the right to compensation for wrongful detention is practical and effective, not theoretical or illusory.
