This article investigates the narratives of people moving out of Islam in contemporary Europe. In particular, it focusses on the potential performance of non-belief in the form of speech. By critically examining the function of testimony in conversion and deconversion narratives, this article problematises the assumed boundaries of belief, non-belief, and the function of the performance of identity. It does so by investigating contemplations over private and public performances, since the performance of speech was thought to have different effects in both spheres. Whilst public discourses on leaving Islam and speaking freely were always weighed, in private these were related to familial bonds, love, and belonging. On the other hand, considering speaking out in public was often contextualised with reference to potential secularist appropriation of their stories as ‘native testimonial’. As such, my interlocutors show that testifying of one’s religious transformation in the case of moving out of Islam was neither central nor conditional. Speech was mostly considered a ‘step beyond’ not believing.

AbstractThe authors analyze the changes in value patterns—patriarchy, authoritarianism and nationalism—in Serbia in the context of the social changes that have marked the postsocialist transformation period. They focus on the extent and intensity of two sub-patterns within each of these three basic value patterns: private and public patriarchy, general and specific authoritarianism, organic (natural) and ethnic nationalism. The conclusions about changes in these value patterns are drawn on the basis of three empirical studies conducted in 2003, 2012, and 2018. They show the prevalence of private patriarchy, general authoritarianism, and organic (natural) nationalism over their counterparts. Private patriarchy has weakened, which is largely to be explained by the significant structural changes in Serbia. On the other hand, support of general authoritarianism and organic (natural) nationalism has been on the rise, which clearly mirrors the unfavorable economic and political situation in the country.

In this text we try to clarify some misunderstandings that in our opinion have arisen on the issue of digital educational platforms. These misunderstandings are based on the one hand on the profound misconception of the meaning of “open”, which is reduced to “free”, and on the other hand on a conception of the company as an activity necessarily extraneous to the ethical dimension. Overcoming these misunderstandings could lead to a collaboration between private and public, between profit and non-profit that defines precisely the models and standards and lays the foundations for the construction of an ecosystem of open, inter-operating and ready-to-use platforms both on the software side and on the content side.

The Government

For seventy-five years the Mexican government allocated private and public land to people who needed it—and lots of it. An average of 1.3 million hectares were redistributed annually from 1917 to 1992, for a total of nearly 1 million square kilometers, or, almost exactly half of the nation’s arable area. On the other hand, serious flaws in government policy, coupled with macroeconomic, demographic, and environmental phenomena, undermined the program and turned its signature component, the ejido, into a synonym for rural backwardness and poverty. Thus, in spite of the astonishing volume of redistributed land, many assert that revolutionary land reform in Mexico failed: that it did not permanently improve the lives of rural land recipients as much as convert them into clients of the government.

Eavesdropping scenes are common features of ancient and modern literary creations. However, in spite of the contemporary interest in the literary and artistic character of biblical narratives, eavesdropping scenes in biblical narratives have received little scholarly treatment. This paper engages the presence, use and functions of eavesdropping scenes in biblical narrative. In particular, eavesdropping scenes aid characterization, trigger the plots of stories, introduce turning points, and increase the mimetic qualities of the story. On the other hand, eavesdropping scenes breach the borderlines between the private and public spaces by taking readers into the private world of biblical characters. On this discourse level, the reader also becomes an eavesdropper by overhearing/ reading the conversations situated in these eavesdropping scenes. In the same way, the narrator also shares the posture of the eavesdropper in the hearing/retelling of the story to the intended readers.

This article presents an analysis of two brass lockets, rectangular in shape, discovered in a richly equipped grave no. 62 in an early-medieval grave field in Radom (the 4th quarter of the 11-12th centuries). As a result of the analysis, their cognitive value can be estimated in a comprehensive way against the background of other finds of the type excavated in graves. On the other hand, it has allowed to enrich the knowledge of burying the dead with objects of magical and religious nature. The lockets discovered in Radom were made locally, most probably as imitations of more sophisticated pendants. Most probably, they were used as containers for magical or healing amulets, possibly contact relics (brandeum, eulogiae) or perfumes. They were probably buried after mid-11th century, during the religious transformation taking place in the early Piast state, bearing material testimony to the intertwining pagan rites and the ceremonies of the new faith.

To Come

After 9/11 there was a rise of “islamophobe” with the spreading of negative views on it besides anti-semite and anti-immigrants. Islam in some cases is seen as fundamentalism, radicalism and has a close meaning to terrorism. More than few were found some mistreatment to Muslim community in Europe such as shouting, blaming, exile and another form of discrimination in public sphere. This paper analysis European multiculturalism descriptifly.  Europe is a region which not only recognises cultural and ethnic plurality but also multiculturalism. Its recognition was based on Europe’s identity as a modern and secular society. The population accepted other culture and ethnic rather than only welcomed immigrants. The migrants in Europe especially who came from Asia, Africa and Arab have differentiation in races, languages, habits, religions and their own views. In one hand, the differentiation enriches Europe culture but in the other hand, they have realised that it can be a threat to their identity.  We found a lot of Europeans put their focus in particular on Islam which was spreading and growing as immigrants and new convertions. Nowadays they see the plurality especially to Islam as the integral religion both in private and public sphere as the challenge for their multiculturalism and reviewing to come, to assimilate, and to protect the European majority of Christians identity. Some European leaders agree that minority have to assimilate to the majority.

There are opinions in for and against the privatization in school education. Some people argue that the privatization in school education should not be promoted. It creates two classes citizens. Similarly some people argue that the school education is entirely responsible of the government. On the other hand, some gives logic that the government is failure to offer quality education to all children due shortage of funds so, this paper tries to explore the existing debate on public and private schools in Nepal.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijssm.v2i1.11882 Int.

Abstract Entrance portals and gates are the elements of the city's architectural environment with which we commune on a daily basis, often unknowingly. Now and again they contain architectural codes that convey to us relevant information about the building or its function. Gates and Portals create an occlusive, orderly space which brings together, and at the same time divides three worlds: the street, the house, and the backyard. This article aims to show that the building entrances not only constitute its closure, but can and often are the carrier of information about the building and their functions or what is in their interior. Therefore, they are also openings to something new, often something interesting, hidden in the nooks of the buildings' architecture. In addition, portals and gates, and especially their doors, are sometimes small works of art that show extraordinary carpentry, woodcarving or metalwork craftsmanship. Others, on the other hand, do not stand out at all, but it are worth looking inside and searching for traces of splendor past and present. The entrance to a building is an important architectural element, which we use involuntarily when crossing the invisible barrier between the inside and the outside, between the private, semi-private and public zones.

Abstract The state can be an actor in Hungarian private law in several ways: on the one hand, by its organs (e.g. the Office of the National Assembly, ministries), on the other hand, by the organs of public law the state creates (e.g. budgetary organs), thirdly, through business associations operating with the participation of the state, fourthly, exceptionally, the state itself can also act as a subject of private law. In this study we call the attention to that the terminology used in case of business associations operating with state/local government participation is not sustainable and we focus on some issues where the private and public law discrepancy can be found in Hungary.
