Second International

On September 22–24, in 2011, the second international phenomenological conference took place in Vilnius, Lithuania. It was organized together with Antioch University of the USA and it was hosted in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University's Faculty of Architecture. Urbanists, philosophers, educators and other academic scholars had a chance to deepen their knowledge and present the results of their researches on the subject of “Phenomenological Perspectives on Cultural Change and Environmental Challenges”. More than 10 speakers from various countries had presented their speeches and afterwards actively indulged in group discussions on the most problematic issues. Due to a huge success that the event has proven to be, it is expected to be just a beginning of a new tradition to hold such conferences in the university regularly. Santrauka Antroji tarptautinė fenomenologų konferencija Lietuvoje įvyko 2011 m. rugsėjo 22–24 d. Ši konferencija, kitaip nei 2009 m. įvykusi jos pirmtakė, buvo organizuota kartu su JAV Antiocho universitetu. Vilniaus Gedimino technikos universitete, Architektūros rūmuose urbanistai ir architektai turėjo galimybę sužinoti daug naujo ir patys pateikti savo tyrimų rezultatus tema ,,Socialinių pokyčių ir aplinkos iššūkių fenomenologinės perspektyvos“. Daugiau nei 10 pranešėjų iš viso pasaulio parengė kalbas ir po jų aktyviai įsitraukė į diskusijas, kuriose buvo gvildenami problematiškiausi klausimai. Tikėtina, kad tokios konferencijos ateityje taip pat bus organzijuojamos ir pamažu virs pasididžiavimo verta tradicija.

The Second International Conference on Ethico-Economics was organizedby the Centre of Humanomics at the UniverSity College of Cape Breton,Sydney, NS, Canada, on October 11-12, 1991. It turned out to be a great success,as the fourteen university professors and research scholars from America,Canada, and overseas were active participants in the sessions. There werefive sessions and three invited luncheon and dinner sessions. The conferenceproved to be of a rigorously analytical nature, as its purpose was to inquireinto the ethical foundations of the theory and policy of economic reasoningand socioeconomic development.The objective of the conference was to intensify the Scientific ResearchProgram (SRP) launched by a group of university professors and researchscholars, an undertaking which seeks to discover the analytical and appliedroots and possibilities of treating ethics endogenously in socioeconomicsystems. The latitude is extended to comprehend the socioscientific systemas well. The First International Conference on Ethico-Econornics, held atSydney, NS, Canada, in 1989, inquired into the subject of “The EpistemologicalFoundations of Social Theory.”Among the papers presented and extensively discussed in critical length -an expressed style of this SRP group to evolve a scientific theory and applicationof ethics as endogenous elements of the socioeconomic and socioscientificorders-were two papers on Islamic economics. Mohammad Ansari, ofAthabasca University, Athabasca, AL, Canada, dealt with the question ofthe Islamic concept of rationality being different from the neoclassical conceptof rationality.

The Institute of Development Studies organised an international conference on this topic at the University of Sussex, Brighton, from 12 to 16 September 1971. A background paper prepared by the convenors, Richard Jolly and Rita Cruise O'Brien, outlined the purpose as follows:Urban unemployment in Africa is a theme on which much has been written in recent years but which is still ‘in fashion’ and of considerable importance to a broad range of scholars and policy makers…there is a great risk of dissipating one's efforts over that whole field. In planning this conference, we have tried therefore to be guided by three dominant principles: (a) to restrict the topics for discussion so as to focus on what seem to us important issues, on which further understanding could be generated by a bout of concentrated thought, analysis of data and discussion; (b) to invite a limited number of people engaged in current research or involved on the spot with investigation or policy-making; (c) to request authors of papers to start at what might be called the current conventional wisdom among specialists and to build their analysis from there… It will be assumed that persons attending the conference are generally in touch with recent literature on the subject.

With regard to the article of Ellis and Knight on the parathyroids in sudden death in infancy, I should like to record the fact that our own investigation of the subject was delivered in the form of a preliminary report in February 1969, at The Second International Conference on Sudden Death in Infancy, Eastsound, Washington. Our data can be summarized. There were 85 infants who died suddenly and whose deaths were not explained at autopsy, and 50 control infants of similar age whose deaths were adequately explained at autopsy.

In 2010 the first fully online Masters Degree on Translation and Interpreting in the USA was launched, and it included Legal Translation as a subject. The authors of this paper were in charge of designing the contents of this subject, creating the didactic materials to be used and actually teaching the subject. In this paper the authors explain how the curriculum was designed, the criteria developed to create the didactic materials and how it actually worked in a very specific context as is the University of Texas at Brownsville, set next to the border between Mexico and the USA, where most of the students are bilingual and have a background of Mexican and American cultures which create an unique environment of legal cultures mediation.

This subject is a timely one from the fact that we are on the eve of the meeting of the second international conference at The Hague, the first conference in 1899 having voted that —The conference expresses the wish that the proposal which contemplates the declaration of the inviolability of private property in naval warfare may be referred to a subsequent conference for consideration.The present programme for this coming conference includes this question of the immunity of private property as one agreed upon for discussion.Before entering into a discussion of the subject, it may be well to make a résumé of the historical status of the question up to the present time so far as the United States, Great Britain, and other civilized countries are concerned.
