Print Serbian media presented Belgrade Pride Parade 2014 in an ambivalent way - as a successful state project, on the one hand, and as a threat to the national security, on the other. Contradictory media discourse related to the promotion of human rights favored the tabloidization of almost all contents related to the Belgrade Pride Parade 2014.In this way in the focus of tabloidization was put wider cultural and social contexts including issues such as the process of EU integration, the effort of redefining national identity in the context of EU, and, finally, the very role of the LGBT community in organization of Belgrade Pride Parade. Tabloidization of the issue of EU integration was achieved mostly through indirect reporting on Belgrade Pride Parade by the combination of the articles which - in the same issue and often within the same section - reported on the Pride mutually quite contradictory for the audience, in sensationalist and confusing ways. The result of such reporting is, quite unexpectedly, the strategy of constant parody of topics which are declaratory considered to be policy priorities of Republic of Serbia while in the Serbian cultural and media practices are called into question and ridiculed. This kind of parody is based on a hidden affirmation of (in) equality and discrimination, as well as on the violation of journalistic ethics codes. The aim of the paper is to analyze – in the case of reporting on Belgrade Pride Parade 2014 - the narrative forms and the communication effects of this populist-based media parody, as well as to deconstructs its ideological reception and consequences.

The progress of human civilization today is inseparable from the role of science. The dynamics of the pattern of our daily lives from time to time it runs in line with the dynamics of the development of science. The development of science and human civilization running together since from classical times, the middle ages, modern times, and so on. Novelty found in a period becomes an essential ingredient for other discoveries in the next period. One thing that is difficult to argue is that almost all sides of human life today has been entered by the various effects of the development of science and technology, ranging from economic, political, social and cultural, communication, education, health, and so on. All this progress is the fruit of the development of science that never recede from human studies. This paper on the one hand want to observe the philosophical basis for the world of Catholic education, and on the other hand, this article seeks to contribute a little reflection, especially for teachers of religious education in STKIP Widya Yuwana and Catholic families today. There wilderness philosophy that is so tempting to dive, but the limitations of time and space makes this paper should choose to focus. Perspective selected is Aristotelian philosophy.

The cybersecurity issue discussed in the paper is seen from the perspective of political science with the indication that the subject under discussion concerns the multifaceted nature of the state’s actions, which consists of political, economic, social, and cultural factors. At the same time, the work also intends to prove that cybersecurity is not only a domain of technology because it is the mentioned aspects that shape the conditions of stable development of the state and its citizens in a space dominated by cyber technology in a much more decisive way. Given the growing role of cybertechnology in almost all areas of human life, its importance also forces and inspires political science to question the shape and model of modern policy, which is significantly evolving under the influence of new technologies. On the one hand, emerging cyber threats reveal the weakness of the state and the dependence of state institutions on cybertechnologies, but on the other hand, existing cyber incidents may also motivate many governments to take action to increase the level of cybersecurity.

Holocaust Survival

Almost all of the 140,000 Jews living in the Netherlands when the German occupation began were sent to transit camps and eventually to death camps, but not on the same timetable. According to the Jews themselves, social-economic class and (pre-war) nationality played an important role in determining when and whether people were sent to meet their death. However, data from the province of Overijssel reveal that Jews from the highest social economic class were, in general, transferred to Westerbork transit camp at a later date than were Jews from lower social-economic classes. Although the usual assumption is that Jews who had more time to find a safe hideout had a better chance to survive the Holocaust, the analysis reveals otherwise. The results for nationality are similar. German Jews from Overijssel were, in general, deported from Westerbork transit camp to the death camps in the East later than were Dutch Jews from the same province. Even though this delay reduced the likelihood that German Jews were sent to a concentration camp that had a survival rate even worse than the one at Auschwitz, German Jews did not survive the Holocaust to a greater extent than did Dutch Jews.

This paper discusses in general terms the mechanisms proposed to explain the resistance of higher plants to infection and colonization by bacteria and fungi, especially the type of resistance associated with rapid killing of host cells and very limited growth of the pathogen; that is, with the hypersensitive reaction of the plant to infection (h.r.). The main points considered are: the significance of the h.r. for obligate and other types of parasites; the nature of the h.r. and the means by which it is invoked; the absence of the h.r in compatible host-parasite combinations; the h.r. and the production of phytoalexins, and the role of the latter in resistance; the part played by cell-wall degrading enzymes in the earliest stages of infection; the relation between the h.r. in interactions between races of a pathogen and different forms of a host species, on the one hand, and the resistance of all plants to almost all pathogens, on the other. Also discussed is the less specific but important type of resistance in which the pathogen continues to grow in resistant plants more slowly than in susceptible plants.

The development, advancement and clinical integration of robotictechnology in surgery continue at a staggering pace. In no otherdiscipline has this rapid evolution occurred to a greater degreethan in urology. Although radical prostatectomy has grown tobecome the prototypical application for the robot, the role of therobot in renal surgery remains controversial. Herein we reviewthe literature on robotic renal surgery. A comprehensive PubMedliterature search was performed to identify all published reportsrelating to robotic renal surgery. All clinically related articlesinvolving human participants were critically appraised in thisreview. Fifty-one clinical articles were included, encompassingrobot-assisted pyeloplasty, nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy,living-donor nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy. Feasibilityhas been shown for each of these procedures. Robot-assisted techniqueshave been described for almost all renal-related procedures.However, the intersect between feasibility and necessityas it pertains to robotic renal surgery has yet to be defined. Also,the high cost of surgical robotic technology mandates criticalappraisal before adoption, especially in a publicly funded healthcare system, such as the one present in Canada.Le développement, le perfectionnement et l’intégration en milieuclinique de la technologie robotique en contexte opératoire sepoursuit à un rythme stupéfiant. Aucune autre discipline n’a vucette évolution rapide à un niveau aussi élevé que l’urologie.Alors que la prostatectomie radicale en est devenue l’applicationprototype, le rôle de la robotique en chirurgie rénale demeurecontroversé. Dans l’article qui suit, nous passons en revue lalittérature portant sur l’emploi de la robotique en chirurgie rénale.Une recherche exhaustive dans la base de données PubMed aété effectuée afin de cerner les rapports sur le sujet. Tous les rapportscliniques portant sur des sujets humains ont été évalués.Cinquante et un articles cliniques ont été inclus dans notreanalyse, incluant des cas, tous assistés par robot, de pyéloplastie,de néphrectomie, de néphro-urétérectomie, de néphrectomiechez des donneurs vivants et de néphrectomie partielle. Pour chacunede ces interventions, la faisabilité a été démontrée. Des techniquesassistées par robot ont été décrites pour pratiquement tousles types d’interventions rénales. Néanmoins, le point d’intersectionentre faisabilité et nécessité concernant l’utilisation de larobotique reste à définir. Par ailleurs, le coût élevé de la robotiquechirurgicale justifie une évaluation critique avant l’adoptionde cette technologie, en particulier dans un système de santépublic comme celui du Canada.

The current financial crisis in the Eurozone has put the debate on EU integration back on the table. Yet, how does the debate on EU integration, particularly the arguments and ideals used in it, actually influence the process of EU integration? This article wishes to provide some food for thought by arguing the debate’s irrelevance in furthering or hindering the EU integration process. It does so by discussing the role of the debate’s arguments in shaping EU integration and by comparing the EU debate with the one had by the founding fathers of the US. The article shows the debate is beside the point largely because most steps in EU integration are driven by circumstances, events, or national interests, that even when one argument seems decisive it is likely to be elevated over others by circumstances, and that none of the debate’s arguments hold an intrinsic value over others.

Violence is a global phenomenon, and any contemporary society is not without this phenomenon, and the difference between societies in this phenomenon is in the degree of violence.Violence has many patterns, including some that takes behavioral activity, as it crystallizes according to what constitutes it on the one hand, and the nature of the social contexts from which it emerges and appears on the other hand. And with different social contexts, the patterns of the phenomena of thought violence may vary and vary.And that the practice of violence and whatever the actor in it, whether it is official, informal or popular violence, resorting to it indicates the existence of a crisis in society, the degree of its severity may be commensurate with the level of violence on the quantitative and qualitative levels. This study came (to know the trends of foreign satellite channels speaking in Arabic Regarding violence in Iraq) by analyzing the content of the study channels from Sky News and Al-Alam. In this study, the researcher aimed to achieve a set of objectives represented in identifying the nature of the trends adopted by Sky News Arabia and the Al-Alam channel in question, within each of the axes Violence in Iraq. And revealing the degree of relative focus that each channel in question has given to the axes on the issue of violence in Iraq. And to diagnose the trends of foreign Arabic-speaking satellite channels, represented by Sky News Arabia and Al-Alam TV, about violence in Iraq within all axes on the issue of violence. This study falls under the classification of descriptive research that depends on the content analysis form of the two study channels in terms of or content, by analyzing the content of news analyzes in the two channels during the period of the study. The research concluded with a set of results, the most important of which are: - The axis (the role of armed militias in spreading violence in Iraq) has won the first place in the hierarchical distribution of the axes of the main categories of analyzes in Sky News, after it obtained (34) recurrences and percentage A percentage of (38%), and this axis did not get any repeat in Al-Alam channel, and thus it ranked sixth and last in the channel. - The axis (neighboring countries and their role in the violence in Iraq) came in second place, with a number of (21) recurrences, and a percentage of (23.59%) in Sky News, while this axis ranked fifth with (10) recurrences and (9) %) On Al-Alam channel. - Axis (the Iraqi government and its position on the violence in Iraq), this axis came in third place with (16) recurrences, and a percentage of (17.97%) in Sky News. This axis ranked third also with (18) recurrences and a percentage (16.36%) in Al-Alam TV.

Resumen: La indumentaria divina, ampliamente tratada desde múltiples puntos de vista en los estudios de la Antigüedad, también se presta a análisis que ponen de manifiesto connotaciones ideológicas, de tipo social o político, a menudo propagandístico, conscientemente reflejadas bien en las propias prendas reales, bien en las obras artísticas que las representan o en elaboradas narrativas. En la presente contribución me propongo llevar a cabo una aproximación a la cuestión desde esta perspectiva “política” e ideológica, discutiendo dos casos de vestidos destinados a sendas diosas arcadias: el vestido de la diosa Despoina, parcialmente conocido por un fragmento marmóreo del grupo escultórico de culto del santuario de Licosura, por un lado, y el peplos enviado a Atenea Alea de Tegea por parte de una mujer residente en Chipre, llamada Laodice, por otro. Teniendo en cuenta el extraordinario bagaje religioso de la región, junto con su capacidad de aglutinar elementos de culto innovadores, pero también su versatilidad religiosa ante los imperativos políticos y sociales, así como su papel protagonista en el Peloponeso durante la época helenística (especialmente en el marco de la Liga aquea), estos dos casos sirven para profundizar en lo que se percibe detrás de las telas, es decir el mensaje que las prendas, por sus características, pretenden transmitir. El análisis nos conduce a vislumbrar la posible exaltación triunfalista y propagandística de alguna realidad no estrictamente religiosa, quizás una victoria militar de la Liga aquea, en el caso de Licosura y un acto posiblemente adscribible a un contexto de diplomacia internacional, orientada a crear redes de parentesco entre Chipre y Tegea, en un intento de potenciar las relaciones entre las partes para beneficio mutuoAbstract: The clothing of the gods, widely treated from different points of view in the ancient studies, can be analyzed in terms of its ideological, social or political connotations. Such connotations are often propagandistic and have been consciously reflected in the real attire itself or in garments represented on artistic works and elaborate narratives. In this paper I am proposing to approach the issue from a "political" and ideological perspective, discussing two cases of dresses of arkadian goddesses: the garment of the goddess Despoina, as it can be seen in a fragment of the acrolithic cultic group of her sanctuary at Lycosoura, on the one hand, and the peplos offered to Athena Alea at Tegea by Laodice, a woman resident in Cyprus, on the other. Bearing in mind the extraordinary religious background of Arkadia, together with its ability to bring together innovative elements of worship, but also its religious versatility in changing political and social contexts, as well as the leading role of this region in the Peloponnese during the Hellenistic period (especially as part of the Achaean League), the two cases chosen serve to the present study as a platform to deepen what is the message that garments, by their characteristics, intend to convey. The analysis leads us to glimpse the possible triumphalist and propagandistic exaltation of some reality not strictly religious, perhaps a military victory of the Achaean League, in the case of Lycosoura and an act possibly to place in an international diplomacy context, aimed at creating networks of kinship between Cyprus and Tegea, in an attempt to enhance relations between the parties for mutual benefit.Palabras clave: Agapenor, Chipre, indumentaria divina, manto de Despoina, Licosura, peplos de Laodice, Tegea.Key words: Agapenor, clothing of the gods, Cyprus, garment of Despoina, Lycosoura, peplos of Laodice, Tegea.

This article investigates the role of relational motives in the saying-is-believing effect ( Higgins & Rholes, 1978 ). Building on shared reality theory, we expected this effect to be most likely when communicators were motivated to “get along” with the audience. In the current study, participants were asked to describe an ambiguous target to an audience who either liked or disliked the target. The audience had been previously evaluated as a desirable vs. undesirable communication partner. Only participants who communicated with a desirable audience tuned their messages to suit their audience’s attitude toward the target. In line with predictions, they also displayed an audience-congruent memory bias in later recall.
