The Fight against Corruption in Sport: International and National Experience

Corruption is a particularly dangerous scourge, which encompasses the whole of society, all spheres of human activity, and by virtue of this, it also encompasses education, whether we want to recognize it or not. Corruption flourishes in times of great social unrest, in times of crisis that societies are going through, especially in the period of transition from a totalitarian regime to a democratic society. The factor generating corruption is the socio-economic crisis, having as causes: weakening of state authority, degradation of living standards, altered moral judgment, lack of effective control levers, diminished public confidence in institutions and social values, non-adaptation of legislation to economic and social conditions and so on Sport is one of the largest businesses in the world, being influenced and influencing in turn both financial and political interests. Every year, millions of dollars and Euros circulate in this area, most of the transactions and agreements taking place behind closed doors, in order to keep any possible advantage over the competition. This fierce competitiveness, together with the lack of transparency, makes the sports field extremely vulnerable to corruption acts. Summarizing the results of our study, we can conclude: the fight against corruption is an opportunity for beneficiary institutions, which can strengthen and improve their systems for preventing and combating corruption and money laundering and asset recovery, by reference to worldwide first-class practices and standards. Following intense consultations with all beneficiaries in the Republic of Moldova: Minister of Education, Culture and Research, National Olympic and Sports Committee, Paralympics’ Committee, Sports Federations and other structures in the country, in order to ensure effective support in the field of physical culture and sports. The direct relations with the interested actors contribute to the creation of a positive framework, which will favour the general success of the future activities that will take place in obtaining the expected results.

Macroeconomic Outcomes

This chapter examines the consequence of larger welfare states on two macroeconomic outcomes: growth and employment. Much of the standard neoclassical literature predicts that large welfare states will necessarily have negative consequences for both growth and employment. This is not borne out by the empirical evidence. In part, this is because some welfare state measures, on education and health care, for example, have positive externalities in the wider economy. It also seems that national experience varies with differing institutional contexts, especially in relation to wage-bargaining institutions. After 2008, this argument played out in differing views about ‘austerity’, some suggesting that it was necessary to re-establish growth, with others dismissing it as a sort of economic primitivism.

Many ideas of nation, many national maps

Contrary to the traditional approach to the analytical category of the national map, Tania Rossetto and Laura Lo Presti use it to highlight the cultural pluralism inherent to the national experience in Italy. Their study offers a conceptual framework with considerable potential, capable of developing an insightful observation into the practices of everyday nationhood through which nationalism takes on concrete meaning. Moreover, the category of the national map appears to be usable in different theoretical paradigms, provided that the conditions for its use are specified.

THE MOTIVE OF THE ROAD, THE THEME OF THE HEARTH AND THE IMAGE OF THE MOTHER IN THE WORKS OF S. YESENIN AND Z. KHOSTIKOEVA

В статье рассматриваются циклы стихотворений осетинской поэтессы З.А. Хостикоевой и русского классика С.А. Есенина, посвященные теме родного очага, отчего дома, матери, мотиву пути-дороги. Ни один писатель, независимо от степени таланта, еще не смог избежать благотворного влияния наследия прошлого в области художественной деятельности. Так, темы истинных и вечных ценностей в творчестве осетинской поэтессы З. Хостикоевой коррелируют с темой родного очага, образом матери и мотивом пути. В цикле произведений о матери и отчем доме, а также исследуя мотив пути, Хостикоева продолжает поэтические традиции Есенина, но преломляет их соответственно личностному и национальному опыту, особенностям местного колорита. В литературе многих народов, в творчестве многих поэтов «Письмо матери» Есенина стало схематичным художественно-изобразительным средством. Для русского поэта строки данного стихотворения – это, по образному определению Ю.Л. Прокушева, «…честная и мужественная исповедь мятежной, ищущей души». Так и Хостикоева в «Письмах к матери» использует поэтические обороты речи, которые выражают бескрайнюю любовь, верность, восторг, признательность и уважение к матери. В статье описываются пути творческих достижений яркой, самобытной осетинской поэтессы, рассматриваются жанровые, сюжетные и психологические особенности некоторых произведений, подчеркивается необходимость дальнейшего изучения творчества Хостикоевой в данном контексте. Попытки осетинской поэтессы перенять лиризм и образность поэзии С. Есенина требуют научного изучения. The article examines the cycles of poems by the Ossetian poetess Z.A. Hostikoeva and Russian classic S.A. Yesenin, dedicated to the theme of the home, the father's home, mother, the motive of the path-road. No writer, regardless of the degree of talent, has yet been able to escape the beneficial influence of the heritage of the past in the field of artistic activity. Thus, the themes of true and eternal values in the work of the Ossetian poetess Z. Khostikoeva correlate with the theme of the home, the image of the mother and the motive of the path. In the cycle of works about the mother and father's house, as well as exploring the motive of the path, Khostikoeva continues Yesenin's poetic traditions, but refracts them according to personal and national experience, the peculiarities of local color. In the literature of many nations, in the works of many poets, Yesenin's "Letter to Mother" has become a schematic artistic and pictorial means. For a Russian poet, the lines of this poem are, according to the figurative definition of Yu.L. Prokusheva, "...an honest and courageous confession of a rebellious soul-seeking." So Khostikoeva in "Letters to Mother" uses poetic turns of speech that express boundless love, loyalty, delight, gratitude and respect for the mother. The article describes the ways of creative achievements of a bright, original Ossetian poetess, considers the genre, plot and psychological characteristics of some works, and emphasizes the need for further study of Khostikoeva's work in this context. The attempts of the Ossetian poetess to adopt the lyricism and imagery of S. Yesenin's poetry require scientific study.
