The subject of the study is the cooperation of S. Efremov with Western Ukrainian periodicals as a page in the history of Ukrainian journalism which covers the relationship of journalists and scientists of Eastern and Western Ukraine at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Research methods (biographical, historical, comparative, axiological, statistical, discursive) develop the comprehensive disclosure of the article. As a result of scientific research, the origins of Ukrainocentrism in the personality of S. Efremov were clarified; his person as a public figure, journalist, publisher, literary critic is multifaceted; taking into account the specifics of the memoir genre and with the involvement of the historical context, the turning points in the destiny of the author of memoirs are interpreted, revealing cooperation with Western Ukrainian magazines and newspapers. The publications ‘Zoria’, ‘Narod’, ‘Pravda’, ‘Bukovyna’, ‘Dzvinok’, are secretly got into sub-Russian Ukraine, became for S. Efremov a spiritual basis in understanding the specifics of the national (Ukrainian) mass media, ideas of education in culture of Ukraine at the end of XIX century, its territorial integrity, and state independence. Memoirs of S. Efremov on cooperation with the iconic Galician journals ‘Notes of the Scientific Society after the name Shevchenko’ and ‘Literary-Scientific Bulletin’, testify to an important stage in the formation of the author’s worldview, the expansion of the genre boundaries of his journalism, active development as a literary critic. S. Yefremov collaborated most fruitfully and for a long time with the Literary-Scientific Bulletin, and he was impressed by the democratic position of this publication. The author’s comments reveal a long-running controversy over the publication of a review of the new edition of Kobzar and thematically related discussions around his other literary criticism, in which the talent of the demanding critic was forged. S. Efremov steadfastly defended the main principles of literary criticism: objectivity and freedom of author’s thought. The names of the allies of the Ukrainian idea L. Skochkovskyi, O. Lototskyi, O. Konyskyi, P. Zhytskyi, M. Hrushevskyi in S. Efremov’s memoirs unfold in multifaceted portrait descriptions and function as historical and cultural facts that document the pages of the author’s biography, record his activities in space and time. The results of the study give grounds to characterize S. Efremov as the first professional Ukrainian-speaking journalist.

This chapter explores three of Still’s long-time friendships. The first is with fellow writer Jesse Stuart and is best described as uneven but enduring. The second is with Dean Cadle who for a time was Still’s promoter, bibliographer, and literary critic. That friendship unraveled. The third is with Albert Stewart who lived in Knott County. Their relationship was positive in the 1950s and 60s but mysteriously turned negative when Still returned to Hindman from Morehead in 1970.

I have been affiliated with AI Magazine for a long time. In 2010, David Leake, the then Editor-in-Chief of AIM, invited me to join the magazine’s editorial board. About five years later, David and Mike Hamilton, AIM’s Managing Editor, invited me to become the magazine’s next Editor-in-Chief. After serving as an Associate Editor for about a year and receiving approval from AAAI’s Executive Council, I became the Editor-in-Chief of AI Magazine on August 1, 2016. About that time, I wrote an editorial titled Rethinking AI Magazine (Winter 2016, pp. 3-4). Now, almost five years later, as I step down as the AIM’s Editor-in-Chief, I want to revisit the vision articulated in that editorial.

Frontiers lost a long-time colleague and supporter when David Macey, former Director of Off-Campus Studies at Middlebury College, passed away on August 10, 2008. David J. Macey: A Remembrance At a professional conference around a dozen years ago, a number of us had gathered at the hotel lounge at the end of a long day of sessions and workshops that focused mainly on administrative and logistical aspects of education abroad. From the other side of the room, I heard something I had not experienced before at these often bland professional meetings. I was taken aback by the raised voices and passionate exclaims that caused many of us in the room to turn our heads and stare. It was a genuine, heated argument that was in full swing among five or six colleagues. The topic, of all things, seemed to have something to do with academic standards for study abroad programs. In the middle of the group I quickly identified the instigator of this animated exchange, an unmistakable fellow in casual dress, a full beard and broad smile, and a wild gleam in his eyes. I and others moved over to join the fray, and I knew that I had to meet the rabble-rouser who seemed quite content in how he had stirred up the crowd. That was the first time that I met David Macey, and that evening began a friendship with him that I valued greatly.  David was a gift to the field at a time when many of us came together to focus more attention on the academic nature of education abroad. He contributed mightily to efforts to raise the standards of the field. He was for many of us the conscience of education abroad, always reminding us that our programs should be as academically rigorous as possible. This was not an abstract idea for David. He loved to tell detailed stories about individual students and their successes, and I relished the opportunity to hear him describe the many examples of how Middlebury students were transformed by their overseas learning. I found inspiration for my own work in those stories, and I know many other colleagues did as well.  David was one of the most influential activists in our field. He threw his support and energy behind important initiatives at critical times. When he did, it was a signal to everyone that the initiative was a serious and worthy one. If David Macey and Middlebury were on board, then people took notice, and they also wanted to be involved.  I and the editorial board will remain grateful always for David’s faithful support of Frontiers. When the journal went through an uncertain period and needed institutional sponsors, David offered the support of Middlebury. He took an active personal interest in Frontiers, and often served as an outstanding manuscript reviewer. His support and involvement were important to making Frontiers the success that it has become.  David’s early and enthusiastic support of The Forum on Education Abroad was important to what was then a fledgling organization. Kathy Sideli of Indiana University, the founding Chair of the Board of the Forum, wrote, “I remember that getting David to commit Middlebury early on was a real indication to me that the founding board members of the Forum had hit on something significant.” David went on to serve as a peer reviewer in the Forum’s Standards Pilot Project, and attended the Forum meetings and conferences, where he made significant contributions. The Forum feels David’s loss deeply and will long remember him. I had tremendous affection for David as a colleague and as a person. I loved to hear him laugh, and took glee in trying to make him do so. We shared a running joke and a friendly rivalry between our two institutions, Dickinson and Middlebury. Whenever we met I would tease him by pointing out ways that Dickinson was far more advanced in education abroad, and he would be ready with a comeback describing how far ahead of Dickinson Middlebury was. After David retired as Director of Off-Campus Study, he called me to say that he would like to visit Dickinson with his successor, Jeff Cason, to exchange ideas about study abroad. Hosting David and Jeff at Dickinson was a true pleasure, but David asked me with a sly smile to please not tell anyone about their coming down, lest people have the impression that Middlebury was trying to learn something about study abroad from Dickinson.  I and many Frontiers readers remember David as the ideal education abroad professional, someone who focused on students, believed in academic rigor, was collegial with and supportive of others, and who was not afraid to raise critical issues and questions about the status quo. Most of all, I suspect that we will remember David’s hearty laugh, that gleam in his eyes, and the genuine pleasure that he took in making life more meaningful for all of us. Brian Whalen


This encyclopedia brings together leading scholars to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource on politics and religion ever produced. Editors in Chief Paul A. Djupe, Mark J. Rozell, and Ted G. Jelen—joined by an editorial board of associate editors (Gizem Arikan, Pazit Ben-Nun Bloom, Taylor Boas, Steven Kettell, Amy Erica Smith, and Güneş Murat Tezcür)—have assembled over 100 peer-reviewed entries. In this extensive resource, readers will find authoritative overviews of the key topics, theories, and findings in religion and politics. Social scientists have closely observed religion at multiple levels of analysis, across a long time span, and in diverse outlets. As a result, it can be difficult for new researchers and interested observers to understand the state of the field. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Politics and Religion addresses that need, and is therefore essential reading for all who seek to understand some of the most important issues and questions facing the world, including the role of regulation of religion by states, how religion is linked to civil war, whether religion is compatible with democracy, how religion structures political behavior and public opinion, how religious parties behave, and much more.

- In this fairy tale, that can be considered a metaphor of the psychological issue of dependency, Paul Parin imagines that long time ago cats were always clinging to humans, in a relationship of mutual satisfaction. However, due to some unhappy events, cats run away from humans, and in a "Cats Council" they decided to pretend to be autonomous, independent and full of pride because this was the only way to gain the love of humans. This fairy tale is published in order to remember Paul Parin, who died on May 18, 2009, at the age of 92. Parin has always been an active member of the editorial board of Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane and part of the project of the journal, where he wrote several papers. Beside being a psychoanalyst and an anthropologist, and giving important contributions to the field of ethno-psychoanalysis, he was also a fiction writer. Paul Parin's life and work are summarized in a brief editorial note at the beginning of this paper.KEY WORDS: fairy tale, dependency, independency, autonomy, pride

In recent years, the electron microscope has been significantly improved in resolution and we can obtain routinely atomic-level high resolution images without any special skill. With this improvement, the structure analysis of organic materials has become one of the interesting targets in the biological and polymer crystal fields.Up to now, X-ray structure analysis has been mainly used for such materials. With this method, however, great effort and a long time are required for specimen preparation because of the need for larger crystals. This method can analyze average crystal structure but is insufficient for interpreting it on the atomic or molecular level. The electron microscopic method for organic materials has not only the advantage of specimen preparation but also the capability of providing various information from extremely small specimen regions, using strong interactions between electrons and the substance. On the other hand, however, this strong interaction has a big disadvantage in high radiation damage.
