This article aims to explain why organized queer activism emerged in Aceh, but could endure only in about six years (from 2008 to 2014). It is argued that this has mainly caused by massive expansion of ‘shari‘a spheres’ since 2001 supported by national and local government and parliament legal-political back up and societal religio-cultural forces on the one hand, and weak nature of the queer movements as counterpublics, characterized with the inadequate resources mobilization, especially in leadership and in getting support from its social movement communities during the crises on the other hand. Shari‘a, which is heteronormative, have been used as discursive and embodied disciplinary power of sexuality for normalizing and excluding the queer (including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender/LGBT). Their organized visibility triggered the issuance of the Qanun Jinayah in 2014, which includes punishment for same-sex activities. It caused them to dissolve their own queer organizations.

The inspection of local government in 1800, the largest ever conducted in Russia, is very modestly presented in historiography. On the one hand, this is due to the predominance of a negative tradition in the study of the epoch of Paul I despite the “new direction” laid down by M. V. Klochkov, on the other hand — due to the source base for studying the issue formed in the work of A. E. Nolde. It was A. E. Nolde, followed by V. N. Bochkarev, who had a decisive influence on the development of the historiography of the issue. In addition to the term “audit”, the established historiographical parameters include: limited funding, small number of participants in the inspection; uncertainty regarding the rights of senators; formal pattern of reports; the predominance of positive feedback in them in order to avoid the consequences of “hot-tempered nature of the monarch”; perfunctory, and therefore “inconclusive”, pattern of the inspection not providing the materials “for any general reform or reorganization of any parts of management”. We object to such interpretations of predecessors and to the definition of inspection as “audit”, to the issue with the initiator of the inspection, the reasons for its conducting, the time, the content of instruction. All of the above mentioned problems require further studying, and first and foremost — the text of the instructions, which is a key to their understanding. Reconsideration the biased assessments of the first and last all-Russian inspection of 1800 by extracting new information from traditional sources and introducing previously unknown archival materials into scientific circulation is an objective historiographical necessity.

The attitude of the Kazan community to the urban environmental and sanitary problems during the second half of the 19th–early 20th centuries was discussed. The measures taken by the local government were analyzed. Based on the administrative sources and periodicals of that time, an ambiguous reaction to the governmental measures was noticed among the residents of Kazan, as compared with a similar situation in St. Petersburg. In Kazan, the residents intermittently violated the compulsory resolutions adopted by the local government to improve the environmental and sanitary situation: they kept the latrines dirty, failed to timely clean the street areas, and discharged their household wastes in the river waters. It was revealed that the residents tended to neglect the sanitary rules because of both irresponsibility and the difficult socioeconomic situation, i.e., sewage cleaning was expensive and complicated. Interestingly, the steps undertaken by the local government are quite confusing and questionable: on the one hand, the authorities did their best to prevent littering, deforestation, and sewage discharge; on the other hand, they were eager to solve the burning sanitary problems at the expense of the ecological well-being of the city.

Abstract This article reflects upon the experience of researching and teaching human rights, and related areas, in a number of university settings. It is argued, on the one hand, that interdisciplinarity is necessary, present and considered valuable in academic human rights scholarship. On the other hand, the article argues that disciplinary power is exercised in the academy with the effect of limiting the degree to which interdisciplinary research and teaching can take place in practice. As a consequence, interdisciplinary academics (and students) are punished. Both intellectual horizons and material opportunities are potentially constricted. Reflecting upon this potential, the article considers whether it is practically possible to reduce or avoid the disciplining and punishment of this kind of teaching and research in universities and concludes by making the case for a postdisciplinary reimagining of human rights in the academy.

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.

In article public legal formation is studied as the organizational and legal embodiment of state and in the publication analyzes using the normative and systematic methods, as well as analysis and synthesis, the content of the Russian legislation and the works of legal scholars. The author came to a conclusion that «to be a subject of legal relations» means only to have ability to enter them. Therefore nothing and nobody can treat a sort of such phenomena as a legal entity or subject of legal relationship as ability is one of attributes. When public formation is called legal entity, often on a background the fact it is officials and bodies of public government (public administration and local government) ordered in structure and that the most important function of public formation – right ensuring. According to the author legal personality of public formation and legal personality of its bodies also mutually depend on each other. On the one hand, public formation as phenomenon, ideal in terms of philosophy, cannot carry out any actions as legal entity without actions of people – bodies and officials. On the other hand, state and municipal bodies and officials or act as legal entities – representatives of state or municipality (for example, governor in relations with legal entities which exist out of state), or their legal personality is based on they are recognized as a part of public formation, entering relations with its population or with other bodies and officials of this public formation. At the same time legal personality of public formation is not the sum of legal personality of all public bodies neither particular bodies of public formation, nor all of them combined are legal entities of state or municipal property.

AbstractLove is ever-present in the debate for the legal recognition of same-sex marriage. Its importance, however, is often underestimated. I will show in this article that much can be gained by viewing this issue through the analytical lens of romantic love. This analysis will show that romantic love is a contested idea. On the one hand it claims to embody a radical and permissive ideology that is capable of penetrating established social and cultural divides. On the other hand, however, love has been accused of replicating patriarchy, and of being ideologically heteronormative. As such, love is not necessarily the answer needed to win the legal argument for same-sex marriage – not unless we begin a process of redefining love for our times.They say that the world was built for twoOnly worth living if somebody is loving you1

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.

SummaryThe prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has improved considerably by introduction of aggressive consolidation chemotherapy and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Nevertheless, only 20-30% of patients with AML achieve long-term diseasefree survival after SCT. The most common cause of treatment failure is relapse. Additionally, mortality rates are significantly increased by therapy-related causes such as toxicity of chemotherapy and complications of SCT. Including radioimmunotherapies in the treatment of AML and myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) allows for the achievement of a pronounced antileukaemic effect for the reduction of relapse rates on the one hand. On the other hand, no increase of acute toxicity and later complications should be induced. These effects are important for the primary reduction of tumour cells as well as for the myeloablative conditioning before SCT.This paper provides a systematic and critical review of the currently used radionuclides and immunoconjugates for the treatment of AML and MDS and summarizes the literature on primary tumour cell reductive radioimmunotherapies on the one hand and conditioning radioimmunotherapies before SCT on the other hand.

Two aspects of Schumpeter' legacy are analyzed in the article. On the one hand, he can be viewed as the custodian of the neoclassical harvest supplementing to its stock of inherited knowledge. On the other hand, the innovative character of his works is emphasized that allows to consider him a proponent of hetherodoxy. It is stressed that Schumpeter's revolutionary challenge can lead to radical changes in modern economics.
