Open data and the XML community

The world of XML is changing. Large “super schemas” like OOXML, XBRL, NIEMs, HL7, and so on, push the limits of existing XML software, while also encouraging the creation of ecosystems built around them, in order to exploit the large quantities of important data now or soon to be available in these formats. Standardization around these formats is driven less by existing proprietary formats and less by industry consortia than by government adoption. The super schemas are often formulated less as definitions of single concrete vocabularies than as meta-definitions of families of vocabularies. The confluence of emerging Open Data standards, the government-as-database conjecture, and a shift towards RESTful services will serve to turbocharge the XML community.

In this article are discussed the main prospects of development of cryptocurrency in Singapore, as it is widespread and used all over the world. The article covers the main points for the regulation of the cryptocurrency. There is a wide range of cryptocurrency trading platforms, and most of them are located in different countries, which leads to significant differences in terms of regulation by the authorities and, accordingly, different rules for users and companies. Several exchanges allow trading derivatives. A more detailed review would give a correct impression of the current situation in the world in terms of regulation of cryptocurrencies and future trends. Cryptocurrencies continue their development; the number of users of cyber money is steadily growing. The popularity of bitcoin has generated the creation of other cryptocurrencies that are developing along with bitcoin, but their popularity and capabilities are much less. In some countries, including Russia, the government started warning people that investing in “cash” equivalents could lead to losses in case if there is a collapse of cryptocurrency (bitcoin).

Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three. It isindeed surprising that a leader of such stature and achievement shouldhave received such scant attention from the historians and biographers.Both Gandhi and Jinnah were contemporary leaders of the Indian Subcontinentand while hosts of books have been written on Gandhi, evenmovies have been made (“9 hours to Rama”and “Gandhi”), there has beenvery little literature on Jinnah, the creator of Pakistan. Although threevery little literature on Jinnah, the creator of Pakistan. Although therehave been a few attempts at sketching a biography of Quaid-i-Azam-asJinnah is called by his grateful nation-by some Indian and Pakistaniwriters, there has been hardly any authoritative or sustained study onJinnah, his role in the Pakistan Movement and how it affected thepolitical future and geography of the entire Sub-Continent. HectorBolitho was commissioned by the Government of Pakistan in the early1950s to write a biography of the Quaid-“Jinnah, creator of Pakistan”,but it failed to evoke any excitement or even meet the standards of abiography. It is exactly after 30 years after Hector Bolitho’s publicationthat an attempt has been made by Stanley Wolpert, a professor of historyat UCLA to reconstruct a chronicle of this pivotal figure in the Indianpolitics during the turbulent decades that led to the creation of Pakistan.Wolpert is an old and respected expert on South Asia and has writtenextensively on the politics of the Sub-Continent.

The study reflects the management aspects of innovation and investment development of the commodity sector on the example of the African Republic. The key problems of African countries are problems caused by dependence on world commodity prices. When examining the dynamics of the development of the commodity sector (production of cashew nuts) in the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, the need to increase the country's resilience to the volatilization of world prices and global demand has been identified. The authors noted that to achieve this goal it is necessary to increase the competitiveness of cashew products on the world market and to steadily increase processing. The novelty of the study is to consider changing the vector of development of the cashew sector in order to intensify processing in the country and minimize dependence on world prices for raw cashews. The relevance of the research results on the creation of value added in the agro-industrial complex is based on its importance and the need to make innovative and investment decisions for conducting in the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, as well as in Russia and other foreign countries. The authors analyzed the dynamics of the development of the cashew sector in the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire and noted its stability since the 1990s and during 2000–20019, and conducted a comparative analysis to increase the share of the country's cashew products in world production. Innovation and investment trends in the development of the cashew sector in the African Republic are considered with the help of World Bank investments, public and private investments. For the development of processing enterprises, the government needs to effectively use innovative solutions and investment resources. Proposed measures to ensure the steady growth of cashew nuts processing. The work includes examples from the World Bank, the government, the National Cotton and Cashew Council (CCA), foreign companies in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire on innovative and investment development, industrialization of the cashew sector and the creation of new jobs in this sector to increase employment of the population.

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.

Academic and public discourses often oversimplify the complex historical, social, and discursive forces that have created the current realities in Haiti. These discourses ignore or distort the role that foreign governments and international agencies have played and continue to play in the creation of the Haitian state. They portray the Haitian government as singular and static, corrupt and incapable, and fail to acknowledge changes in leadership and the diversity of individuals who exist within the government. This “single story” about Haiti privileges the international community and overlooks the stories from Haitians who are working to rebuild and reimagine their own country. This article examines the personal stories of Haitians in order to better understand the nature of Haitian leadership in a neocolonial, post-disaster context.

This article addresses the meaning and significance of the “world revolution of 1968,” as well as the historiography of 1968. I critically interrogate how the production of a narrative about 1968 and the creation of ethnic studies, despite its world-historic significance, has tended to perpetuate a limiting, essentialized and static notion of “the student” as the primary actor and an inherent agent of change. Although students did play an enormous role in the events leading up to, through, and after 1968 in various parts of the world—and I in no way wish to diminish this fact—this article nonetheless argues that the now hegemonic narrative of a student-led revolt has also had a number of negative consequences, two of which will be the focus here. One problem is that the generation-driven models that situate 1968 as a revolt of the young students versus a presumably older generation, embodied by both their parents and the dominant institutions of the time, are in effect a sociosymbolic reproduction of modernity/coloniality’s logic or driving impulse and obsession with newness. Hence an a priori valuation is assigned to the new, embodied in this case by the student, at the expense of the presumably outmoded old. Secondly, this apparent essentializing of “the student” has entrapped ethnic studies scholars, and many of the period’s activists (some of whom had been students themselves), into said logic, thereby risking the foreclosure of a politics beyond (re)enchantment or even obsession with newness yet again.
