The complex of modern sociological and religious studies approaches to the analysis of religious practices in post-sectarian societies makes it possible, among other things, to characterize their biographical aspects. First of all, it is about the ways and means of displaying the "Man of Faith" in the various reference journals, which are traditionally widely represented in secular literature, and have recently become increasingly popular among denominational publications and resources. The latter promotes both the "mature" of the domestic theological centers (and thus the ability to implement significant encyclopedic projects) and the more open intensive work of religious organizations (which entails the need for a variety of popular editions, including personalities). But the landmark change, which radically changed the state of affairs, setting new trends and putting forward fundamentally different goals, was the emergence of new information technologies and their adaptation and use to accumulate and disseminate information about beliefs and their leaders. The most important feature of these newest electronic resources in comparison with the traditional (according to VI Popik) is their potential ability to objectively integrate the information accumulated previously by society in all its diversity, to organically absorb the inheritance of the manuscript and print culture of the past

In this paper I have endeavoured to give an account of the various methods which have been employed in the past ten years to alter—for better or worse— the conditions in the boundary layer of a body in turbulent flow. I have refrained from speaking of “ control ” in reference to the-boundary layer, since in the minds of most people, this implies an amelioration of the flow and a reduction of drag. As will appear in what follows, some of the devices in which I and other experimenters have been concerned have just the opposite effect. Nevertheless, following the principles current in clinical research in medicine, I think we should find both what conditions will cause “ deterioration ”—if one may use the term—as well as those which will cause “ improvement ” of the flow round a body, if we are to progress in our knowledge of the state of affairs in the boundary layer. Working rather on my own in aerodynamics and not being committed to any rigid programme of research, I have followed my bent to explore unorthodox paths of experiment, the results of which I present with some diffidence in the hope that engineers may pursue them further with better equipment. I am afraid I have not gone deeply into the vexed question of the efficiency—in the engineering sense—of the devices I am going to describe to you, since, as a physicist that—nevertheless, important—aspect of the question does not interest me.

Not long ago globalization had only one face, that of a restructured capitalist economy employing new information technologies to operate on a global scale (Castells, 2000). According to this interpretation of globalization, the global is represented as space dominated by the inexorable and homogenizing logic of global markets (Steger, 2002). In this neoliberal model, the market replaces the state and the individual, the community thus posing a bleak future for citizenship.

This inquiry demonstrates that the political legitimacy of a certain society is historically determined, reflects specific institutional and contextual features, and employs a variety of meanings. These meanings can describe both a state of affairs and a process that ultimately involves justifications for legitimate agents and socio-political structures. This paper attepmpts to understand how the meanings of political legitimacy are conceptualized in society. As a case study, it questions: What are the conditions for the existence of political legitimacy and how have they been constructed? How is political legitimacy endorsed in South Korea today, and how does it differ from the past? This paper applies a deconstructive theory of political legitimacy that exploresa a distinctively modern style, or 'art of governance' that has an all-encompassing, as well as individualized effect upon its constituencies. By this approach, this paper argues that the concept of unification does not have a solid significance in the real world, but rather, it is an imaginary idea imposed by the dominant elite class, which is constantly imposed, reinterpreted and transformed in its political context.

The article presents how of wagons and the train equipped with new information technologies allows to reduce the queues and time of in/out charging. It has been indicated that this allows significantly decreasing the probability of being in the state connected with time of waiting for unloading (queue) especially after case of disturbance caused by random events, including environmental conditions, weather conditions or failures.

Summary The concept of ‘duty of care’ for citizens abroad is grounded in a political rationality where the population is seen as an object for protection by the state. In today’s globalised world, however, this rationality is challenged by increased citizen mobility, budget cuts, new information technologies and the proliferation of new security threats. In recent years the state’s duty of care has received fresh political and scholarly attention, but Diplomatic Studies have so far overlooked how the recent waves of neoliberal reforms have introduced a new political rationality into policy-making circles, where the population is not seen only as an object for protection, but also as a resource for mobilisation. Developing insights from studies of governmentality, this article argues that when this neoliberal political rationality becomes predominant in diplomatic circles, it leads to inversion of the duty of care through new citizen-based practices, steered at a distance by the state.

All three of the world's major monotheistic religions traditionally affirm that petitionary prayers can be causally efficacious in bringing about certain states of affairs. Most of these prayers are offered before the state of affairs that they are aimed at helping bring about. In the present paper, I explore the possibility of whether petitionary prayers for the past can also be causally efficacious. Assuming an incompatibilist account of free will, I examine four views in philosophical theology (simple foreknowledge, eternalism, Molinism, and openism) and argue that the first three have the resources to account for the efficacy of past-directed prayers, while the latter does not. I further suggest that on those views which affirm the possible efficacy of past-directed petitionary prayers, such prayers can be ‘impetratory’ even if the agent already knows that the desired state of affairs has obtained.

Abstract This study is the last one of a three-part series reviewing the history of Hungarian language technical terminology. In this article, we strive to present all the factors that have influenced the state of Hungarian technical language and terminology at a particular period of time during the past hundred years. Over a long period of time, the most important part in establishing and disseminating adequate Hungarian terms was played by standards, dictionaries and the publishing of technical literature. Since this situation has dramatically changed by now, after presenting the current state of affairs, we make suggestions on handling terminological problems emerging in the course of technical communication, the instruction of technical language or the translation of technical literature.

This article is based on reviews of studies in the field of journalism education in India after the proliferation of the Internet, particularly after the year 2010. The journalism practices have undergone a significant change in the past two decades, with the enabling of new information technologies, resulting in increased feedback from the audiences as well as globalized education opportunities for the content creators. The article is based on the content analysis, using grounded theory as the qualitative research method, to identify various themes in journalism researches, from Indian universities during the same period. The implications of the results suggest that there is a wide gap between the research conducted in the educational institutions and the prevailing pattern in the journalism industry in the country.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with monumental art in Slovakia before and after the fall of Communism in 1989. Generally, art in public spaces is important, because it influences the knowledge and feelings the people who use this space have about the past and the present, and thus influences the shared social construction of who we are as a social group. In this article we concentrate on the period of Communism and the formal and iconographic aspects that were essential to art at that time. We also look at the political use of art—the ways in which explicit and implicit meanings and ideas were communicated through art to the general public. We touch also on the present situation regarding the perception of “Communist art”. In the final section we discuss the state of affairs of the last twenty years of chaotic freedom in the post-socialist era. On the one hand, since there is no real cultural politics or conception for artworks in public spaces at the level of the state many artworks simply disappear, often without public discussion, and on the other hand, some actors use their political power to build monuments that promote their private political views.
