The Subject

The subject of analysis in this paper is the motif of loneliness in the early works of Irène Némirovsky (1903–1942). A pessimistic view on human life, which is typical for Némirovsky, is shown by the author of this article on the example of three works: L’Enfant génial, David Golder and Les Mouches d’automne.  The main character of each of the works constantly feels misunderstood, alienated and eventually dies, convinced of the meaninglessness of his/her existence. These feelings become common for the characters, which at first glance seem completely different - a Jewish boy from the poor quarter of Odessa, a rich financier living in Paris, and an elderly Russian nanny, who emigrates with her masters. The problem of loneliness in Némirovsky’s writing is closely related to the issues of finding one’s own identity and attempts to overcome the past.

Judged by the amount of space devoted to the subject in the Journal of the Institute, Unemployment Insurance has received but little attention from actuaries in the past Public interest in the problem of relieving distress due to unemployment became pronounced in the early years of the present century and led to the appointment in 1904 of a Royal Commission on the Poor Laws and, eventually, to the passing in 1911 of the first Unemployment Insurance Act. These important events found a somewhat pallid reflection in our proceedings in the form of reprints of extracts from Sir H. Llewellyn Smith's address on Insurance against Unemployment to the British Association in 1910 (J.I.A., vol. xliv, p. 511) and of Mr. Ackland's report on Part II of the National Insurance Bill (J.I.A., vol. xlv, p. 456). At a later date, when the scope of the national scheme was very greatly widened, the Government Actuary's report on the relevant measure—the Unemployment Insurance Bill 1919—was reprinted in the Journal (J.I.A., vol. lii, page 72).

Scholarly Attention

IN THE PAST DECADE EDWIN CHADWICKhas been the subject of several scholarly inquiries; indeed one can almost speak of a “Chadwick industry” these days. This is not, however, the first time he has attracted significant scholarly attention: in 1952, S. E. Finer's and R. A. Lewis's biographies initiated our century's first evaluation of him, culminating in M. W. Flinn's excellently edited reprint of Chadwick's most important text,The Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population of Great Britain(referred to as theSanitary Report). Yet the Chadwick that emerges in recent accounts could not be more different from the mid-century Chadwick. The post-war critics saw him as a visionary, an often-embattled crusader for public health whose enemies were formidable but whose vision, extending the liberal and radical tradition, ultimately prevailed. Cultural critics, on the other hand, present a Chadwick who misrepresented (if not outright oppressed) the poor and who was instrumental in developing a massive bureaucracy to police their lives. Thus, while earlier accounts highlighted Chadwick's accomplishments, the progress of public health reforms, and the details of legislative politics, more recent ones draw attention to his representations of the poor, the erasures in his text, and the growing nineteenth-century institutionalization of the poor that theSanitary Reportpromotes. Chadwick, in other words, is portrayed as either a pioneer of reform or an avatar of bureaucratic oppression.

Literary work tries to describe human life, not only in relation to other humans, but also in relation to itself through the relationship of inner events. One form of literary work is novel. The birth of the novel is the creative result of the author in processing a story about life complete with various conflicts in it. Because this research is intended as a study of literary psychology to achieve the psychological aspects of the main character in the novel Hati Suhita by Khilma Anis, what will be put forward is the structure of the story which is closely related to the psychological exposure of the main character. The story structure is the characters and characterizations. As well as the story setting. Qualitative method. Namely, research procedures that produce qualitative descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words from people and observed behavior. How as much data as possible will be able to become the subject of research depends on the use of research techniques. While the approach is a literary assessment perspective. The approach is the scope of literary research. The form, content, and nature of literature as the subject of study. Until now, it seems that in literary research there is often confusion between the use of the terms method, technique and approach. As a result, there are overlapping areas of literary research. The method should involve the operational means of research. The method requires research steps that are worth following. The research results found by the researcher were in the form of the character of the main character and psychological conflicts in Khilma Anis' novel Hati Suhita. Suhita's character is good, tawadhu, smart. Al Birruni is firm, easy to change. Rengganis beautiful, smart. Aruna is good, cheerful. Kang Dharma is calm, mature. And the psychological conflict of Suhita's character is sad. Al Birruni didn't have the heart, Rengganis knew himself, Aruna was sad, and Kang Dharma was calm. In connection with conducting the research, the writer suggests that: first, literary reviewers are advised to examine more deeply the implicit and explicit values in Khilma Anis' novel Hati Suhita, because then we as readers can understand the author's message and his work in totality.

Abstract:This article, based on fieldwork in Western Kenya from 2012 to 2016, describes how life cycle rituals collect and distribute different forms of money, including land, property, personhood, animals, cash, and digital moneys. It specifically examines a ritual coming of age for adolescent boys. By organizing multiple forms of money relative to the phases of a human life, the past, and the future, these rituals serve to manage and transfer wealth across generations and to give these transfers social and moral dimensions. The study provokes a critique of financial initiatives in the Global South that often assume that the financial goals of the poor are short-term.

    Globalization is a new phenomenon that has received widespread attention in intellectual circles which erupted - and still does - a broad controversy  and varied opinions. It is not just a linguistic term easily explained or put it in the face of another term, It is this powerful movement that go deep in all directions which are not determined in a particular stage or period . so it resembles a machine that roams the earth treading on everything and caring for nothing,  it does not recognize the traditional boundary between the countries of the world, it's a machine with no steering wheel, its only direction is forward and so it is moves strongly ,growing every day and not understanding nothing except its appetite. Globalization is not a theory developed by a scientist or a philosopher, but it’s the experiences obtained in the years of the past two decades since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Berlin Wall until the present day. A phenomenon that touched all fields to the extent that one is puzzled how to study it and build a knowledge on the subject matter, especially that each author or speaker addresses its analysis from a particular aspect, such as the economic, cultural, political or informative. Globalization covered all aspects of human life, making it awaken minds and leading them to look for a way to upgrade and how to confront and defend cultural identities. The most dangerous aspect ​​globalization can reach is the field of education, because education is the corner stone for all other areas such as culture, politics, economy. Education helps us maintain our Arab identity, thus making it easier for us to face globalization, and so we find ourselves in a crossroads: Globalization of Education, which causes the demise of identity or Breeding of Globalization and taming it for the benefit of our societies, and this is what we are supposed to achieve which requires many mechanisms and challenges not to be underestimated. These mechanisms are what I want my research to address and explain in the hope that it could benefit us to contain the phenomenon of globalization and ensure the permanence of the cultural identity of the Arab and Islamic societies.

Do So

The subject is one which may seem of somewhat minor importance, but, on investigation, it will be found that, even under present-day conditions, it requires careful attention by life assurance offices and by all societies and funds which have liabilities depending upon the duration of human life. As an illustration of its importance it may be mentioned that it is well known that statements of ages made in the past by the public for the purposes of census and death returns contain a considerable number of errors, both intentional and unintentional: and it can readily be understood that life assurance offices would certainly involve themselves in serious loss if they dispensed with satisfactory proof of age. Were they to do so the resulting errors in age would be relatively far in excess of the corresponding errors contained in census returns, owing to the monetary advantages which could be gained by understating the age at the date of effecting a policy of assurance, and to these advantages acting as an incentive to fraud. Accordingly, it is recognised by all life assurance offices—though not always by their assured—that proof of age is a requirement which must be complied with before payment of a claim.

Criminal Legislation

The subject and method of criminal law should be placed among those categories that are undeservingly forgotten in the Russian doctrine. This situation is mainly explained by the existence of established views regarding their contents. At the same time, the transformation of public relations, which took place over the 20th century and intensified in recent years, forces us to reflect on how well the basic concepts developed more than 100 years ago correspond to the current situation. Their ability to ensure the development of a unified and, most importantly, effective mechanism of criminal law influence should be reconsidered taking into account the factual changes in the model of public relations and its considerable differences from the previous model. Truly dramatic changes took place at the level of basic conceptual values; they influenced all spheres of human life, not least of which is law in general and criminal law in particular. Not all methods successfully used in the past correspond to new conditions and, at the same time, the development of new methods of influence is specifically limited by the boundaries of the subject and method of criminal law. In this situation West European lawmakers, who are guided by the idea of ensuring public safety viewed as an absolute principle, demonstrate a conceptually different approach to the choice of means and methods of counteracting crime. To achieve the desired result, western criminal legislation uses a maximally pragmatic approach while paying special attention to the personality of the criminal, not criminality in general. However, even this approach is now facing serious challenges. The development of technology made it possible to considerably reduce the personal space of each individual. Personal rights and liberties are under threat. At present, there are not answers to the questions on the limits of such impact and on how far a state could go to ensure its security, while the principles of postmodern are more and more aggressive in minimizing the very possibility for a person to have their own space not controlled by anybody else.

Origen’s Christian Approach to the Song of Songs

AbstractThis essay attempts to understand and appreciate what Origen was aiming at in his commentary on the Song of Songs. Origen “imagined” the purpose of reading the Scriptures as the transformation of the reader into the “likeness of God”. He viewed the Song of Songs as the climax of all songs of Scripture and therefore, “learning to sing that song” expressed the highest stage of Christian growth. As the subject matter of the Song of Songs is love, it is clear that perfection in love is indeed the ultimate goal of human life. However, understanding love is difficult and many go astray, because, in fact, as God is love, understanding love and loving is as profound as God Self. It is through the Logos at work in the Scriptures as well as within us and in the whole of the created reality that we are empowered for loving and understanding love. Origen describes the action of the Logos with the image of a “saving wound caused by the arrow of the divine eros”. Origen’s perspective is not that of working towards a fusion of horizons between a human author in the past and a present-day reader, but of working towards an ascent from the level of the “letter” to the level of the “spirit”.

Ducted Wind Turbines have been the subject of numerous studies in the past (both analytic and experimental), but the concept has not found commercial use so far, mainly due to the poor performance of the tested configurations. Our analytical studies, however, have shown that an optimized configuration of a Ducted Wind Turbine with ejector type assist for the exhaust may generated Power Coefficients of the order of CP = 6. This corresponds to the output of nearly 15 conventional un-ducted wind Turbines (with a typical CP = 0.4). The present study simulates the Two Dimensional simplification of such a Wind Turbine Plant by employing the commercial code FLUENT and compares its performance against the case of an open (no turbine) duct.

Late Twentieth Century

Abstract In the past four decades, the discourse on addiction in the United States has dramatically changed. Most scholarly and popular accounts have depicted this change as an instance of “medicalization,” whereby medical definitions and imperatives have displaced those of morality, war, or criminal justice. This article seeks to revise that dominant characterization. In fact, the medicalization trend is only one part of a broader discursive shift, in which addiction has been normalized as a form of attachment and conduct—rendered ordinary, even predictable or natural, for a human life. The article reveals this shift through a set of historical readings across four venues in the period 1980–1993: scientific research, diagnostic protocols, judicial practice, and political rhetoric. More than an empirical advance, this shift in addiction discourse reflects a novel construction of the subject in our time.
