The paper aims to analyse the management of projects on European funding, taking into account two major directions, namely the efficiency and effectiveness of management. In order to achieve these objectives, a number of issues are examined, such as: the achievement degree of the indicators proposed by the project, the most efficient use of existing funding and the analysis of project sustainability, considering both market realities as well as the provisions of the initial project. Important in the analysis are both the results obtained during the implementation period of the project and the values recorded after the completion of the projects and the way in which, in the absence of financial support, there is continuity in the conduct of the activities..

Rarely is there a middle ground in the way poor golf caddies in Bangalore analyze their situation and the plight of others similarly disadvantaged in the society. If there is success—measured in the ability of some caddies to win consistent financial support from members—then it is a matter of their remarkable work ethic and high morals. If they fail at this effort, then it is owing to bad luck or fate. Club members and the clubs where they play golf, along with structural forms of caste and religious bias in the society at large, are rarely implicated, one way or the other. Ultimately, disadvantaged golf caddies carry forward the rhetoric and ideology of individualism, while unwittingly justifying the inequality between caddies and club members, and between a select few up-and-coming caddies and the rest.

This chapter focuses on the way cultural production was mobilized to fight fascism and racism in the early 1930s. Yet it simultaneously illustrates how different constituencies in “Black Paris” related to colonialism very differently. The two events that anchor this exploration are the celebration of the tercentenary of France’s colonization of the Antilles and the campaign against Mussolini’s invasion of Ethiopia. Various coalitions used music and performance to celebrate the tercentenary. Others made music to generate solidarity and financial support for Haile Selassie and Ethiopia in the face of the Italian invasion. In both cases music and performance became a way of gathering people together and raising money for political causes. The strong support for the pan-African campaign on behalf of Ethiopia was present at the same time as the divided responses to the tercentenary. The conjunction illustrates Paul Gilroy’s characterization of Black identities in the Atlantic region as showing both solidarity and difference.

The article discusses the use of the Agile methodology in providing educational and methodological activities at university. The article presents the current results of the study carried out with the financial support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) in the framework of the research project No. 19-013-00690 “Economics of educational and methodological activities in high school”. The article proposes the requirements that can be applied to the use of the Agile methodology in providing educational and methodological activities of the University. The possibility and expediency of using this methodology for the successful implementation of these processes has been substantiated. The principles and tools of Agile in adaptation to the educational process of the university are presented. The components of the proposed approach are considered, in particular: the basic principles of the Agile methodology and the possibility of their application in educational and methodological activities; the compatibility of Agile with the existing system of educational and methodological support; areas where Agile technologies and principles can be adapted immediately and without significant problems. The problems on the way of introducing flexible methodologies into the educational and methodological activities of the university are indicated.

In this article, I dwell upon the Croatian system of free legal aid in civil and administrative matters. The background of the system, its problems and deficiencies are firstly discussed. Primary attention is on the legal framework for legal clinics, their position within the system of legal education, the importance of their role within the system of free legal aid, types of legal assistance that legal clinics can provide and the way they are obtaining financial support for their operations. We shall also try to foresee the future of Croatian clinical legal education under the present normative scheme and propose some steps that, we firmly believe, have the actual capacity to promote further development of clinical legal education within the system of free legal aid.

Cybercrime is a computer-oriented crime where offences are committed against an individual person or group of persons with a criminal intention to harm the victim either physically or psychologically, directly or indirectly, using IT devices via internet. It may threaten an individual or a financial health and even a nation's security by intercepting or disclosing the confidential information. The various forms of cybercrime are phishing, identity theft, hacking websites, spreading terrorism, distributing child pornography, etc. Cybercrime does not require any higher-level technical knowledge but only sufficient financial support to perform the unethical process. The current demand for malware creation exceeds three times the supply, and now, new tools are arriving with the concept of “malware as a service.” The deep web is the invisible web that paves the way for various criminal activities like weapon trading, cybercrime, and drugs.

The chapter explores the role of luck and contingency in influencing the success or failure golf caddies in Bangalore have in gaining traction on a path to social mobility. Some caddies receive mentorship and financial support at just the right time, while others miss out on such connections, never quite able to build a steady and reliable network of members to help them. The former often forget the way their successes come about, or by whose grace, and instead think of their new position as a function of merit, discipline, and hard work. Yet the latter are often no better discerning the structural forces at work in their lives, embracing the idea that bad luck or fate has intervened.

What are the civic responsibilities of universities in a democratic society? Since the emergence of the modern university system in the nineteenth century, financial support and a degree of academic freedom have been bestowed on universities but what should society expect back from these places of specialised and, often, elite learning? These are perennial questions, yet answers have been very different under different political and economic circumstances. Originally, the emphasis was on the production of knowledge in settings that were ‘antifunctionalist as well as antiutilitarian’ (Sahlins 2009: 1000); subsequently the wider knowledgeability of students was incorporated as the way the debt to society would be repaid (Nowotny, Scott and Gibbons 2001: 80). In recent years, the making of citizens or, rather, the making of better citizens has come to the fore as an essential output in exchange for society’s input. As part of their ‘service’ to society at large, universities will, amongst other things, produce people who will take their place as members of society with a strong sense of rights that will be asserted and responsibilities that will be exercised.

In recent years in Bangladesh there has been renewed emphasis on the Alternative Dispute Resolution schemes as a means to avoid the use of contested hearings in the formal litigation and to ensure the most fundamental right of access to justice for all in an easy way. These Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) modalities are considered as less likely to fuel the parental conflicts, more likely to induce the parties to resolve their conflicts in an amicable manner preserving the future relationship between the parties and reducing cost, delay and loss of energy to a significant extent. Following the considerable advantages of ADR almost every county of the world has introduced ADR system in its justice delivery system which has paved the way to the promotion of access to justice indiscriminately for all. This paper is an attempt to provide a comprehensive idea about obstacles in the way of access to justice in our legal system and by analyzing the different mechanisms of ADR and court and non-court based practices of those modalities under different legislations of Bangladesh, to show the fairness, efficiency and effectiveness of ADR towards the promotion of access to justice and to provide some recommendations for the complete success of ADR towards the effective, non-discriminative, speedy and easy access to justice for all either rich or poor, literate or illiterate, male or female and elite or lower class.

The Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) test has replaced about 80% of the use of the rabbit pyrogen test. Ideally, human-based in vitro tests are needed, to replace the remaining use of the rabbit test and the use of the LAL test. The progress of an EU-funded project is described, in which a number of in vitro tests based on the human fever reaction are passing through a prevalidation study on the way to evaluation in a formal validation study.
