Our work is based on the material provided by the answers to Ion Muşlea's questionnaires on the funeral in Maramureş, which raises a special interest to the researcher due to the rich ritual and ceremonial acts, beliefs and superstitions that give complexity, individuality and also the status of regional variant to the funeral in this area. After brief general considerations about the funeral, in which we emphasized its characteristic traits, especially the historical evolution of this custom, we proceeded to synthesize and systematize the information obtained in the localities Vadu Izei, Rona de Jos, Hărniceşti and Giuleşti, following the succession of the sequences in the funeral ceremony. The first part of our paper was reserved for the signs of death, then we talked about the period before the agony, and finally about the agony of the dying person. The largest part of our work concerns the burial itself, as it is the basic sequence of the funeral ceremony and it has a very rich repertoire, made up of all kinds of ritual-magical acts related to different sequences of the custom, some of them complex - such as the wake ceremony. We included information about the post-burial sequence, where the ritual funeral repasts are predominant. Our work ends with the beliefs and superstitions that once circulated intensely during the funeral, the emphasis being on the superstitions - reproduced separately by the investigator - about male or female ghosts; then the beliefs related to the soul, to the afterlife, to apparitions and to death. In the context of using the material investigated by Ion Muşlea's correspondents, we have made some interpretations focusing on decoding the symbols of some magical instruments or vegetal elements used in the magical practices and ritual acts of the funeral in Maramures. Our guidelines throughout the work was our concern to show the entire complexity, richness and variety of the funeral habits in this area.

Islamic economics based on specific concept of universe and the creation of man is contradictory to the concept adopted and accepted by modern science. Islamic economics postulates although ability and expertise is required for progress and growth but distribution of resources completely dependent on it would be cruel, inhuman and bereft of kindness, and lead to oppression. Islamic economics does not favor making human ability and expertise the fulcrum of resource distribution. It should be kind, considerate and based on justice and fairness. This is because according to Islamic philosophy, ownership is considered to be a trust from Allah which has been bestowed on the rich so that they may utilize it correctly. In Islamic economics the role of the individual, has inclinations and his aims and objectives occupy a central position and are vitally important. He is definitely a rational being but his level of rationality is not confined to the calculations of cost and profit. An individual does not want merely to obtain monetary profit and physical pleasure and leisure but he also wants and aims for something beyond what the material world has to offer. The main aim of the study is to find out the relationship between Islam and economics. In Islamic economics the comprehensive moral training of the individual, his technical and educational ability, his aims and his priorities are of primary importance. According to Islamic economics the means of acquiring wealth has the same importance as wealth itself. Dishonesty, abuse of trust and earning of wealth through fraudulent ways and means may perhaps increase the status of an individual but the society suffers because of it on the whole. This leads to an unjust and oppressive economic system.

We study continuous-time quantum walks on graphs which generalize the hypercube. The only known family of graphs whose quantum walk instantaneously mixes to uniform is the Hamming graphs with small arities. We show that quantum uniform mixing on the hypercube is robust under the addition of perfect matchings but not much else. Our specific results include: • The graph obtained by augmenting the hypercube with an additive matching x ↦ x ⊕ η is instantaneous uniform mixing whenever |η| is even, but with a slower mixing time. This strictly includes the result of Moore and Russell1 on the hypercube. • The class of Hamming graphs H(n,q) is not uniform mixing if and only if q ≥ 5. This is a tight characterization of quantum uniform mixing on Hamming graphs; previously, only the status of H(n,q) with q < 5 was known. • The bunkbed graph [Formula: see text] whose adjacency matrix is I ⊗ Qn + X ⊗ Af, where Af is a [Formula: see text]-circulant matrix defined by a Boolean function f, is not uniform mixing if the Fourier transform of f has support of size smaller than 2n-1. This explains why the hypercube is uniform mixing and why the join of two hypercubes is not. Our work exploits the rich spectral structure of the generalized hypercubes and relies heavily on Fourier analysis of group-circulants.

The scientific proposal that the Earth has entered a new epoch as a result of human activities – the Anthropocene – has catalysed a flurry of intellectual activity. I introduce and review the rich, inchoate and multi-disciplinary diversity of this Anthropo-scene. I identify five ways in which the concept of the Anthropocene has been mobilized: scientific question, intellectual zeitgeist, ideological provocation, new ontologies and science fiction. This typology offers an analytical framework for parsing this diversity, for understanding the interactions between different ways of thinking in the Anthropo-scene, and thus for comprehending elements of its particular and peculiar sociabilities. Here I deploy this framework to situate Earth Systems Science within the Anthropo-scene, exploring both the status afforded science in discussions of this new epoch, and the various ways in which the other means of engaging with the concept come to shape the conduct, content and politics of this scientific enquiry. In conclusion the paper reflects on the potential of the Anthropocene for new modes of academic praxis.

The status of sports in today’s life is rising day by day. As a sports culture person, the most important thing to spread sports culture better is to clearly define what “sports” is. At different stages of development in modern times, the discourses on sports concepts at home and abroad have shown the characteristics of “historic and epochal”, reflecting people’s different understandings of the attributes of sports at different stages. This article discusses the definition and historical evolution of sports concepts at home and abroad from different historical stages in order to better understand and study sports.

"Mind the gap!" is an expression meaning a visual or audible warning phrase to take caution while crossing the gap between the train door and the platform. The subject of this paper is to highlight the existing inequalities, even the case East-West, and the necessity that, by political will and concrete economic and social measures, not only by warnings, to mitigate these disparities in the benefit of the parties involved in. This means that, through continuous political awareness of these inequalities, paying attention to this scourge of the today’s world and to implement such measures in order to ensure a strategic game type win-win. The methods used in this paper are represented by primary data collected from international reports and situations about the status of today’s world countries and from national analyses published. All these data and information become base for the analyses of this issue and emergence of valuable recommendations, rather than conclusions, regarding the counterbalance East and West, apart from the famous and classic example of David Ricardo regarding the theory of the international trade between the rich and developed North and the poor and underdeveloped/developing South, in Europe and in the world. Awareness, alertness and prompt responses to all challenges and a balanced development type win-win, here they are the keys for a modus vivendi and sustainable evolution. JEL Codes: F16,  F63, O15.

Three brachiopod species, Terebratulina tenuistriata (Leymerie, 1846), Argyrotheca vidali (Mallada, 1878), and "Terebratula" n. sp., are recognized in the marls and calcareous silts of the Lower Eocene Puebla Formation of the Campo region in the Central Pyrenees, north-eastern Spain. The rich and well preserved material of T. tenuistriata and A. vidali allows to recognize the range of their morphological variability and to evaluate the status of earlier established species. The investigated assemblage is characterized by the small, pedunculate taxa adapted to life on a soft bottom anchoring directly in a soft substrate or attaching to very small, hard substrates.

The population dynamics of the larch budmoth (LBM), Zeiraphera diniana, in the Swiss Alps are perhaps the best example of periodic oscillations in ecology (figure 7.1). These oscillations are characterized by a remarkably regular periodicity, and by an enormous range of densities experienced during a typical cycle (about 100,000-fold difference between peak and trough numbers). Furthermore, nonlinear time series analysis of LBM data (e.g., Turchin 1990, Turchin and Taylor 1992) indicates that LBM oscillations are definitely generated by a second-order dynamical process (in other words, there is a strong delayed density dependence—see also chapter 1). Analysis of time series data on LBM dynamics from five valleys in the Alps suggests that around 90% of variance in Rt is explained by the phenomenological time series model employing lagged LBM densities, R, =f(Ni-1,Ni-2,) (Turchin 2002). As discussed in the influential review by Baltensweiler and Fischlin (1988) about a decade ago, ecological theory suggests a number of candidate mechanisms that can produce the type of dynamics observed in the LBM (see also chapter 1). Baltensweiler and Fischlin concluded that changes in food quality induced by previous budmoth feeding was the most plausible explanation for the population cycles. During the last decade, the issue of larch budmoth oscillations was periodically revisited by various population ecologists looking for general insights about insect population cycles (e.g., Royama 1977, Bowers et al. 1993, Ginzburg and Taneyhill 1994, Den Boer and Reddingius 1996, Hunter and Dwyer 1998, Berryman 1999). These authors generally concurred with the view that budmoth cycles are driven by the interaction with food quality. A recent reanalysis of the rich data set on budmoth population ecology collected by Swiss researchers over a period of several decades, however, suggested that the role of parasitism is underappreciated (Turchin et al. 2002). Before focusing on the roles of food quality and parasitism in LBM dynamics, we briefly review the status of other hypotheses that were discussed in the literature on LBM cycles. First, the natural history of the LBM-larch system is such that food quantity is an unlikely factor to explain LBM oscillations.

History of State and law of Ukraine can be considered as one of the leading academic disciplines to modern lawyers. Its purpose is to familiarize professionals with the historical experience of the development of statehood on the territory of modern Ukraine that directly or indirectly impacts the current status and the quality of the public authority in our country, the relationship between the State and citizens, the situation in Ukraine in the international arena, its image in the world, etc.The role of history of State and law of Ukraine here is mapping the processes of historical evolution of human relationships and the State of modern Ukrainian territory. This includes compliance with State rights, in particular political ones, struggle of people for their rights through both peaceful and violent way (through armed revolt against the authorities) etc. In this connection, we think that the evolution of public authority as a result of the struggle of people for their rights should be displayed in training courses and researches on history of State and law.The purpose of the article: coverage of the history of constitutionalism on the territory of modern Ukraine in XIX – early XX centuries.The task: disclosure of the relationship between the history of State and law and constitutional law of Ukraine through the analysis of the content of the constitutions for the then population of Ukrainian lands in various states.Findings from this research and prospects for further research in this field: 1. Teaching history of constitutionalism in the training course «History of State and law of Ukraine» must conform to the Constitution of Ukraine as the Main Law of the State and the benchmark for social activities. 2. Teaching History of constitutionalism in the training course «History of State and law of Ukraine» gives an opportunity to examine the historical evolution of the idea of limit and self-restriction of State power in favor of its citizens rights. This is not just about the rich historical tradition of constitutionalism on the territory of modern Ukraine, but about the ability of our ancestors to live in conditions of observing the rules of the law and maintenance of order in society and the State in civilized ways.3. The prospects of further scientific researches, to our opinion, are the following: a) research of history of constitutionalism is separate states on the territory of modern Ukraine; b) research of separate problems and periods of history of constitutionalism in Ukraine.
