Ficus Microcarpa

In November 2009 the gall midge species Horidiplosis ficifolii Harris 2003 was detected in the Czech Republic on leaves of an ornamental fig Ficus microcarpa. The insect is native to South East Asia, where it lives on the genus Ficus. No information is currently available on the prevalence of the pest in the countries of its origin. Imported Ficus plants from China into the Netherlands are sometimes heavily infested with the gall midge. In Europe it is also known from Denmark and the United Kingdom. As Horidiplosis ficifolii is a tropical species, no environmental and social damage is expected.

Social Competences

Shaping social competences of university graduates constitutes one of the most important contemporary challenges. The cognitive objectives of the Erasmus + DASCHE project, the selected results of which are presented in this article, were (1) to identify good practices in shaping social competences of students in selected higher education institutions, (2) to support public policies with regard to higher education at both European and national levels, as well as at higher education institutions (HEIs) in the area of designing, shaping and verifying students’ social competences and formulating recommendations in this regard. For these purposes, case studies at 26 selected HEIs were carried out within the project. This article presents an analysis of public policies in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Latvia, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom in the context of influence of these policies on whether and how HEIs shape students’ social competences and whether HEIs are obliged, encouraged or supported by legal regulations and other instruments in this regard. The research shows a large diversity of national public policies in this respect and - with the widespread recognition by the academic staff of the importance of shaping student attitudes - a significant lack of intentional actions leading to shaping students’ competences at the national, institutional and European level.

The Bankovic case is one of few cases in which the European Court of Human Rights took a position that, without an acceptable explanation, restricts the application of rights granted by the European Convention on Human Rights. The application was submitted by individuals who put forward that in 1999 seventeen states parties violated art. 2 (right to life) of the Convention by bombing by aircraft the television and radio station in Belgrade. As a consequence of this NATO directed operation sixteen civilians were killed and another sixteen were seriously injured. The Court found that it had no jurisdiction to entertain the case, as at that time Yugoslavia was not a party to the Convention. The Court gave a too restrictive interpretation of the word ‘jurisdiction’ to basically conclude that the Convention applies only within the territory of states parties. The Bankovic decision has been contradicted by subsequent judgments.

Using Data

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a case study of the challenges and requirements associated with harmonising data from two independently-conceived datasets from The Netherlands and the United Kingdom: the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA) and the Nottingham Longitudinal Study of Activity and Ageing (NLSAA). The objectives were to create equivalent samples and variables, and to identify the methodological differences that affect the comparability of the samples. Data are available from the two studies' 1992–93 surveys for respondents born during 1908–20, and the common data set had 1,768 records and enabled the creation of 26 harmonised variables in the following domains: demographic composition and personal finances, physical health, mental health and loneliness, contacts with health services, physical activity, religious attendance and pet ownership. The ways in which the methodological differences between the two studies and their different selective attrition might lead to sample differences were carefully considered. It was concluded that the challenges of conducting cross-national comparative research using independent datasets include differences in sampling, study design, measurement instruments, response rates and selective attrition. To reach conclusions from any comparative study about substantive socio-cultural differences, these challenges must first be identified and addressed.
