<p>Recent debate on monetary theory has probed increasingly into its fundamental conceptualisations, and some far-reaching proposals for reform have emerged. This study is an attempt to contribute towards such a reform. It begins with an appraisal of the theory in order to evaluate its status as an empirical theory, and finds that the ideas of money as a nexus between producer and user, of economic processes as occurring through time, and of the absence of general equilibrating tendencies, need substantial reformulation if the processes of a modern pecuniary economy are to be adequately represented. The study devotes its major effort to structuring these ideas into a form capable of sustaining the required theoretical development while maintaining contact with the world of experience.</p>

Abstract As an emerging discipline, disaster nursing is very important in disaster emergency management, but there are few mature practice models and theoretical discussions. In particular, the contribution of nursing staff in disaster emergency has not yet received widespread attention and recognition. After more than ten years of rapid development, China’s disaster nursing has gradually formed a Chinese model and Chinese experience. During the global fight against COVID-19, this article takes the nursing work in disaster emergency rescue as the perspective and briefly describes the development process of disaster nursing in China to introduce the practice and theoretical development of disaster nursing in China to nursing workers around the world. By analyzing the role of Chinese nurses in national disaster emergency response, it provides a reference for global disaster nursing talent capacity building. By sharing the Nightingale spirit of Chinese nurses in disaster emergency, we will show people all over the world the professional value of disaster nursing practitioners and pay tribute to the nursing staff engaged in disaster emergency work.

The One

The commonly held truth is that the attitude of German society and the German elite to Russia is different to the attitude of Poland. This is not entirely true because due to Russian policy, the Germans have become more critical of Russia in the twenty-first century than before. Germany, however, pursues a more global policy than Poland. As Russia and Germany are of great significance in Polish politics, it is important to question the German vision of Russia’s place in today’s multipolar world. This is all the more important given that Germany, as the strongest country in Europe and the one that stabilized the euro zone, has difficulty in defining its role in the international arena. It is only as a result of the recent debate about the hybrid war, that Germany has overcome its unilateral geo-economic perception of the world. It is clear that the Germans are facing a new challenge, which they have not been prepared for.

Recent Debate

Much of the recent debate on the labor market issues of developing countries has revolved around the interaction of the labor market with stabilization and structural adjustment policies, introduced mostly in conjunction with the IMF and the World Bank. In particular, there is a growing body of literature on the interaction between structural adjustment policies and employment performance in these countries.According to the dominant view in this literature, the favorable employment effects of these policies stem basically from the shift of industrial trade strategy from state-led import substitution towards market-based export orientation.

Ordinary Notion

At least since the middle of the twentieth century, philosophers have tended to identify weakness of will with akrasia—i.e. acting, or having a disposition to act, contrary to one’s judgments about what is best for one to do. However, there has been some recent debate about whether this captures the ordinary notion of weakness of will. Richard Holton claims that it doesn’t, while Alfred Mele argues that, to a certain extent, it does. As Mele recognizes, the question about an ordinary concept here is one apt for empirical investigation. We evaluate Mele’s studies and report some experiments of our own in order to investigate what in the world the ordinary concept of weakness of will is. We conclude that neither Mele nor Holton (previously) was quite right and offer a tentative proposal of our own: the ordinary notion is more like a prototype or cluster concept whose application is affected by a variety of factors.

<p>This paper presents the recent debate on modern monetary theory (MMT) and contributes to a critical view on its application to peripheral countries. MMT has been centered on both demystifying postulates of the ‘New Macroeconomic Consensus’ and offering an alternative theory to reach full employment with price stability. However, it has been criticized for assuming that constraints on domestic policies are generally self-imposed, not arising from international markets. Using the “international currency hierarchy” approach, this paper argues that peripheral countries, in the context of financial globalization, are not fully sovereign in determining its own macroeconomic policy. Our main argument is that currencies issued by peripheral countries do not fulfill money classical functions at the international level. Being hence illiquid at the international scenario, these peripheral currencies (and assets) are demanded by the international investors only in the quest for high returns; moreover, this demand depends on the “international liquidity preference” and the markets’ confidence in this country. Consequently, interest rates in peripheral countries tend to be higher and volatile. Additionally, the exchange rate is potentially under the pressure of this capital flows movements. Finally, monetary, fiscal and exchange policies in peripheral countries have constrains that are not considered by MMT.</p>

<p>Resumen<br />Nuestro principal objetivo es analizar los comportamientos religiosos femeninos en distintas sociedades históricas, el valor simbólico del género representado en las diosas y su posterior retracción ante el avance de la hegemonía masculina. Los roles de género han marcado la experiencia religiosa de las mujeres, la rigidez en los rituales litúrgicos han replegado a las mujeres como subordinadas de la "estirpe varonil". El patriarcado fue desplazando a las mujeres de las principales religiones del planeta ocultando su protagonismo e invisibilizándolas. Pretendemos proporcionar una visión global de la proyección de las mujeres en las diferentes tendencias, manifestaciones y credos religiosos, siguiendo el desarrollo teórico de la narración social e histórica a través de la argumentación crítica en torno a los principales ejes de significado que la han ido definido en su trayectoria. Desde la óptica feminista se aboga por la relectura de los textos desde la indiferenciación para descubrir la inclusión de la subjetividad de género y recuperar sus construcciones simbólicas.</p><p>Our main objective is to analyze the female religious behaviour in various historical societies, the symbolic value of the gender represented in the goddesses and their subsequent retraction before the advance of male hegemony. Gender roles have marked the religious experience of women, rigid liturgical rituals have retreated to women as subordinate to the "men's race." The patriarchy was displacing women from the major religions of the world by hiding their prominence and visibility. We aim to provide an overview of the women’s projection in the different trends, events and religious beliefs, following the theoretical development of social and historical narrative through critical argumentation about the main meaning axes that have been defining them on their path. The feminist perspective calls for a rereading of the texts from the undifferentiation to discover the inclusion of the gender subjectivity and recover their symbolic constructions</p>

The Object of the Study. Economic culture.The Subject of the Study. The economic culture of the world finance market.The Purpose of the Study. Demonstrating the financial mechanism of exploiting Russia, its citizens and developing countries disguised as free market economy models.The Main Provisions of the Article.Economic culture is an important part of common personal culture. There are three interrelated levels of people’s economic behaviour. The basis of economic behavior is an “economic person” wishing to achieve maximum usefulness. Theoretical development of a more perfect category characterizing a person’s economic activity has not caused any changes in their practical behavior. Today, the category “human capital” functions to a certain degree only on microeconomic level and its practical use is connected not with the necessity of a person’s development but with the necessity of income growth from economic use of this very person. The economic person continues to function on all the other levels of economic activities. It is, connected with the fact that financial and economic mechanisms regulating the behaviour of market agents on macro and mega levels, have already been formed and are used with the category of economic person. Credit, stock and currency markets exist as the system of command and exploitation of small economies. Every element of financial market is used to redirect the value created in the developing countries to the leading economic powers. Not only the financial system itself, but also the educational system of undeveloped countries, existing market models, international agreements and clustering countries have been organized for the diversion of this created value. Russia’s peculiarities are that the monetary authorities of the country submit to the interests of leading economic states. Many elements of economic culture are apparently of a fictitious and declarative nature, hiding the essence of economic and financial relations, which are still on the level of an economic person. Current economic culture does not meet the interests of contemporary society. It is necessary to transform economic and financial mechanism so that it should not destroy spirituality and nature of a person and contribute to harmonious development of both particular regions of the world and human civilization as a whole.

Peace And War

ABSTRACTIn this article I argue that the very meaning of ‘inter-national relations’ is emerging as a focus of debate in International Relations, particularly among the critical traditions in the discipline. No longer seen as a mere study of peace and war, IR is viewed as a component of general pan-disciplinary theories or order and change. The international sphere is perceived, accordingly, no longer as a system in its own right, but rather as a gigantic transmission belt, and a huge communication device transmitting and diffusing ideas, practices, rules, norms and institutions throughout the world. The article examines the implications of such an approach on IR theory. In addition, the article revisits the works of Hegel, Marx and the French School of Regulation to demonstrate how they developed an empirical theory of international diffusion.
