Objective - This paper highlights the threats that Al-Aqsa Mosque is exposed from the Zionist entity. It seeks to recognize the gradual Judaizing attempts that are being implemented on the factual level. In more comprehensive frameworks, the paper also addresses the Judaizing of Jerusalem science occupying the sacred city in 1967. There is no doubt that these Zionist practices have led to igniting a third Intifada. This paper examines the evolution of active power's map and their interactions, which includes: The Israeli occupation authority, Jewish religious groups, the Palestinian Authority, the Palestinian militant factions, Fatah and Hamas, The Palestinian people, the Arab regimes, and the Arab peoples. The paper is interested in analysing the Palestinian political differences and the evolution of political situations in the Arab region. The paper also addresses the impact of the Arab situations on the Israeli political behaviour and the extent to which the region is passing through an appropriate opportunity toward more Zionist violations and accelerating the Judaizing of the Holy City, which include the Islamic sanctities and the Palestinian suburbs of Jerusalem, the native people of the city. The paper also covers the developments and the new phenomena in particular, and at the forefront the rise of Palestinian Intifada's phenomenon which called: the third Intifada. Methodology/Technique - The study reviews previous literature. Findings - The paper concludes at the end of the analysis to provide a vision for the future of contemplative Al-Aqsa mosque, runs from two visions; one is pessimistic and the other is optimistic. Every approach has its private determinants, on the safe level in particular, which related to the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic reality. Novelty - Accordingly, this paper will analyse four topics: Judaizing of Jerusalem, threats of Judaizing Al-Aqsa Mosque, the rise of the Intifada's phenomenon, and the future of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The chapter provides an overview of how policy analysis takes place in Mexican Think Tanks. It focuses on two of the few organisations of this kind that currently exist in the country: the Centro de Investigación para el Desarrollo (CIDAC, or Centre for Research for Development) and the Centro de Estudios Espinosa Yglesias (CEEY, or Centre of Studies Espinosa Yglesias). The chapter is divided into four sections. The first discusses the main features of think tanks, with a particular focus on the Mexican ones. The second presents the origins and general objectives of CIDAC and CEEY, and describes how these two organizations conduct policy analysis. The third compares both cases, paying particular attention to how they define their topics of interest, how they gather relevant information, what kind of policy products they generate, what kind of communication channels they use, and how they assess the impact that their analyses may have had. The chapter closes with some conclusions and general remarks about the future challenges of policy analysis in Mexican think tanks.

The Impact

Prior research has overlooked board processes and examined direct links between board structure and monitoring financial reporting with mixed results. We use an input–process–output heuristic model to argue that board processes mediate the association between board structure and earnings persistence. Our results support this assertion by showing the mediating effect of board processes and the impact on managerial behaviour in relation to monitoring financial reporting. We contribute to the accounting and finance literature by demonstrating the importance of examining alternative theoretical models and board-process variables, along with structure. This article also highlights the importance of establishing best-practice guidelines around board processes in governance regulations. JEL Classification: M41, G34

While the Oslo agreement consecrated Hamas's role as a new national resistance to Israel, it ushered in a reality that progressively would tie the movement's hands. This article traces the impact on Hamas of the installation of the Palestinian Authority, particularly in terms of undermining the cohesion of a decentralized leadership whose various wings came to face differing circumstances. After the disarray following the February-March 1996 suicide bombings, Hamas appeared to be on the upswing, with its top leadership back from prison and the forging of a new consensus. With the Wye River Memorandum's determination to destroy Hamas, however, the future remains uncertain.

Artificial Intelligence based technologies are becoming more and more pervasive in people’s lives. Whether it takes the form of machine learning algorithms, Internet of Things smart devices, virtual assistants, chatbots, robots, AR/VR experiences, consumers are faced directly or indirectly, conscientiously or unconscientiously, with a variety of incarnations of what is generically called AI. The current debate surrounding AI seems to focus on a few major aspects related to this next technological breakthrough. Right from the start, there is intense discussion even around the definition of AI: what is and what is not AI, how broad of a definition can be applied, and which of the many current and envisaged applications are actually ‘intelligent’. Then, there is the critical issue of the use of consumers’ personal data and underlying privacy issues, as AI seems to be built and thrive on being fed enormous amounts of data of various kinds. And lastly, there seems to be increasing concern regarding the potential for AI to evolve into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence – independent self-reliant robots) and the threats this poses to humanity. A subject of potentially equal importance could be AI applications and implementations are impacting individuals’ lives and the manner in which people relate to, perceive and assess AI and the underlying current technologies, both in terms of the impact in their daily lives, as well as in terms of expected prospects for the future. This paper looks at the progress made so far in addressing some of the above questions and, by analyzing data from EU’s 2017 Eurobarometer study, attempts to reveal how various Romanian consumer segments perceive and relate to AI and current technologies. It identifies potential emerging inequalities from access, acceptance and usage of these technologies at present and in the future. The paper also sets out future directions for further understanding of the intricate relationship between human consumers and emerging AI tech, both in terms of benefits as well as potential threats.

This chapter touches on three main themes: the first is the increasingly collaborative nature of auditorium and stage design; the second is the extent to which auditorium and stage design could be understood in ‘modern’ terms; and the third is the extent to which the relationship between the stage and the auditorium was often the subject of debate. The chapter begins with a discussion of the collaborative nature of stage and auditorium design, before examining the arguments made in favour of open staging, not least by the director Stephen Joseph, who edited several books on the subject. It then considers the impact of these debates on the design of key examples including Chichester Festival Theatre, the Young Vic, the National Theatre, and the Crucible, Sheffield. It ends with a discussion of flexible staging, highlighting the challenges posed by adaptability as well as examples in which it was explored.

Abstract. Inconsistency of modern conditions of commercial banks operation pose a threat to their activities and existence. Therefore, the problem of ensuring the financial security of banks is relevant. Ensuring the financial security of the bank should be based on a scientifically sound strategy that involves action on certain functional components of security. It is proposed to use a functional approach to the integrated assessment of the level of financial security of a banking institution, which takes into account four groups of indicators - capital and resource, credit and investment, currency security, as well as the security of bank income and expenses. This approach makes it possible to quantify the impact of each group of indicators on the level of financial security of a banking institution. An integrated assessment of the key components of the bank’s integrated financial security indicator revealed that the four surveyed banks are characterized by a sufficient level of financial security. The results of the integrated indicator of financial security of the bank should be used in developing a strategy for ensuring the financial security of the bank. The article proposes and substantiates the theoretical and methodological foundations of the strategy for ensuring the financial security of the bank. It is substantiated that to achieve a certain level of financial security of the bank it is advisable to use the GAP-method. It is proved that the application of this method will allow to single out only those components that have the greatest impact on the level of bank security and which need to be influenced. It is established that the strategy of ensuring the financial security of a banking institution should be aimed at bridging the gaps in key indicators. The methodology of game theory was used to establish the expediency of overcoming strategic gaps. It is proved that the application of the chosen methods of strategic planning will allow to quickly identify the causes of deviations from the safe level of the bank and justify the feasibility of influencing certain factors.  Keywords: financial security of the bank, financial security strategy, GAP-method, integrated indicator of financial security of the bank.  JEL Classification G 21, O 16  Formulas: 4; fig.: 0; tabl.: 5; bibl.: 17.

This article recounts the story of how the Circassians have been able to raise awareness of their deportation in the 1860s during the Caucasian Wars. After a brief methodology the authors provide an overview of the Circassian history. The second section analyses the period when the Circassian population came under Russian rule after the 1860s. The third part focuses on three broad approaches or strategies used by several Circassian groups to increase the awareness of the Circassian subjugation in the 1860s. The last two sections discuss some of the changes that have occurred as a direct result of the work undertaken by Circassian organisations. The authours argue that the Circassians have created lieux de mémoire, especially since the beginning of the 1990s, what does not always overlap with the dominant Russian perception of history in the North Caucasus. The analysis demonstrates how the Circassians have (re)discovered their story and the impact of this new information on their actions.

This chapter takes stock of the third edition of European Integration Theory in three steps. First, it offers a comparative perspective on the distinct contributions to the mosaic of integration presented by each chapter. The assessment is framed by three sea-faring metaphors of European integration, and details the insights derived by each of the book’s contributions from addressing the kind of polity, politics, and policy based on the three types of crises (i.e. economic, refugee, and security). Second, the chapter addresses the absence of security crises in the book’s contributions. To reverse that absence, it distinguishes the impact of integration along a horizontal regional comparative dimension and a vertical normative dimension. The former builds on insights from regional integration, the latter connects normative crises in EU sub-units with global conflicts. And third, the chapter addresses the question of how integration theory fares sixty years on from the Treaty of Rome, and points out potential issues and themes for the future of European integration theory.

The development of renewable energy producers in rural areas creates new job opportunities for the countryside population. The decentralized manner of renewable energy in small cities is one of the ways how to meet the rural and small scale energy needs in a reliable, affordable and environmentally sustainable way. In 2010, the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague has finished the participation in the European IEE project RES COMPASS. In mutual cooperation, with seven partners from the Great Britain, France, Spain, Greek and Finland, the University has been involved in the extensive research concerning the impact of the Renewable Energy Sources (RES) on the future European labour market. The RES COMPASS project meets the objectives expressed by the New Skills for New Jobs Initiative of the EU and stressed also other initiatives, namely the Green Jobs Initiative, the UNEP initiative as well as the requirements of the International Trade Union Confederation and the International Organization of Employers in 2008. The RES COMPASS programme strategy was based on the implementation steps in three mutually supportive components: The first component Comparative analysis of the methods of identification of skill needs on the future labour market based on the renewable energy sources was concerned in the young generation of the today’s students. The second component Career Orientation test was developed as a tool for the potential young people thinking about a future career in the emerging area of renewable energy. The third component focused on the future business opportunities for small and medium entrepreneurs (SMEs) in the RES sector. The paper informs about findings of the third component New businesses for SMEs in the RES. Realistic possibilities of the development of SMEs appear to exist in the provision of more complex services reacting to (1) needs of more rapid renovation of the morally depreciated devices, (2) interest of inhabitants and producers in the installations of at least two different autonomous alternative energy sources, (3) creation of informal groups of users who will share various energy sources, (4) need to support the installation of energy devices with other measures – energy audits and projects.
