The article deals with the role of volunteer services provided for and by families. This includes care and consulting services for children, adolescents and seniors and is supposed to disburden families in a direct or indirect way. Data from the German “Freiwilligensurvey” (Volunteer Survey) suggest that a proportion of 35 percent of all volunteers aim their services at families. On the other side, families belong to the main actors of volunteering. In household with children, more than 40 percent of the volunteers are engaged for other families. Against the background of current problems in family life and demographic change, a raise in demand for volunteer services is likely for the future. Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Rolle von bürgerschaftlichem Engagement, das für Familien erbracht wird und das Familien selbst erbringen. Dabei werden unter bürgerschaftlichem Engagement für und von Familien Betreuungs-, Beratungs- und Pflegeleistungen für Kinder, Jugendliche oder Senioren betrachtet, die Familien auf direkte oder indirekte Weise entlasten. Die Daten des Freiwilligensurvey zeigen, dass 35 Prozent der bürgerschaftlich engagierten Menschen in Deutschland ihre Tätigkeit direkt oder indirekt an Familien ausrichten. Familienmitglieder gehören zugleich zu den Hauptakteuren bürgerschaftlicher Arbeit. Insbesondere in Haushaltskontexten mit Kindern sind mehr als 40 Prozent aller Engagierten für andereFamilien aktiv. Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Problemlagen von Familien und des demografischen Wandels kann in Zukunft mit einem deutlich steigenden Bedarf an bürgerschaftlicher Unterstützung gerechnet werden.

In the XIV century. centripetal tendencies began to appear in the Moscow principality. Inside the Russian church, several areas were distinguished. Part of the clergy supported the specificobar form. The other understood the need for transformations in society. As a result, this led to a split in the Russian church in the 15th century for "non-possessors" and "Josephites". The former linked the fate of the future with the ideology of hesychasm and its moral transformation, while the latter sought support in alliance with a strong secular power.

This article proposes an alternative sociological framework for dealing with the imaginary constitution of financial crises. Theorisation of financial crises is often limited by dualistic juxtaposition of the rational and irrational, moral and immoral, calculative and intuitive, thus neglecting the imaginary structuring of such dyads in the construction of financial and fiscal realities. To address this lacuna, we introduce ideas from philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis, and develop a framework that unpicks the often-suppressed, mediating and generative role of imagination in finance. On the one hand, we show how dominant forms of imagination enable the financialisation of contemporary societies, serving to sustain existing debt practices and lender–debtor relationships. On the other hand, we propose a re-animated ‘sociological imagination’ that offers potential avenues for establishing alternative social visions of the future that will enable re-thinking of the nature of debt, money and financial institutions.

In the context of government, what do we mean by the phrase “a learned man”?* I take it we can mean a variety of things. On the one hand, we can have in mind the specialist, the expert, the man with an intensive and specialized background in a particular field of knowledge. On the other hand, we can have in mind the man with general wisdom, with that feeling for the past and the future which enriches a sense for the present, and with that appreciation for wider loyalties which deepens patriotism to one's country and finds bonds between it and Western culture and links with the universal aspirations of mankind.

The chapter examines the corruption, disintegration, and renewal of democracy in relation to election. Taking issue with two canonized views on election, it shows that neither the liberal nor the republican version captures its emancipatory spirit; how it tames and shapes the essential uncertainties of the future equally. What makes election democratic is that it gives institutional body to the principle of emancipation, and secures our freedom to begin anew. On this basis, the chapter elaborates on the meaning of democratic corruption. It distinguishes between three democratic “tyrannies” in electoral politics based on distinction, virtue, and emancipation respectively: the tyranny of the majority, the tyranny of the minority, and the tyranny of novelty. It ends by discussing the future role of election as path to democratic disintegration, on the one hand, and democratic renewal, on the other.

The Iraqi state and the Kurds have always been at the odds over the territory around Kirkuk, particularly following the discovery of oil in the province in 1927. Both sides have claimed ownership of the province since that time and have sought to gain advantage over the other through various means. The region was subjected to a forced demographic change under the Arabisation policy during the reign of Ba’ath Party between 1968 and 2003. Following the overthrow of Saddam’s regime in 2003, the status of Kirkuk was to be constitutionally and peacefully resolved according to Article 58 of the 2004 interim constitution and then Article 140 of the 2005 permanent constitutions, which called for normalisation, a census, and a referendum in Kirkuk and other disputed areas to determine the will of their residents. Practically, however, various Iraqi governments and the two dominant Kurdish parties, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party, were able to politicise implementation of Article 140. Although each blame the other, all share responsibility for the lack of implementation. This research investigates that experience and argues that the joint administration is the optimal scenario in the short run and independent region within the Iraqi state would be the best-case scenario in the long term.

ABSTRAK Peran notaris sangat krusial dewasa ini digunakan oleh para pihak yang ingin membuat beragam perjanjian, dengan alasan akta notaris yang bersifat otentik dianggap masyarakat lebih terjamin kekuataan hukumnya daripada akta dibawah tangan. Namun dalam praktik, acapkali ditemukan adanya suatu akta notaris digugat untuk dimintakan pembatalan di muka pengadilan yang disebabkan karena kesalahan dari para pihak yang tidak sepakat dan tidak jujur dalam memberikan keterangannya terhadap notaris, atau kesalahan dari notaris itu sendiri baik karena kelalaiannya maupun karena kesengajaan. Penulisan artikel ini bersifat deskriptif analitis, dengan tujuan untuk melihat kedudukan notaris di pengadilan terkait penyelesaian sengketa baik dalam kapasitasnya sebagai pejabat negara maupun dari kedudukan akta otentik yang dihasilkannya serta tanggung jawab dari notaris/PPAT yang dianggap telah melakukan kesalahan ketika memberikan jasanya yang lebih lanjut dianggap merugikan pihak ketiga. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa dalam hal timbul permasalahan dikemudian hari atas terbitnya akta otentik yang dibuat oleh notaris, tidak serta merta notaris dapat ditarik sebagai pihak yang bersalah yang mengakibatkan persengketaan tetapi harus dilihat sejauhmana pelanggaran yang telah dilakukan oleh notaris, apakah ada kesalahan/tidak, pelanggaran terhadap kode etik dan atau UUJN.   Dalam penyelesaian sengketa di pengadilan dalam sengketa perdata, notaris dapat saja berkedudukan sebagai pihak antara lain Tergugat jika dirasa telah melakukan perbuatan melawan hukum sehingga merugikan pihak lain, sebagai Turut Tergugat, atau saksi. Tanggung jawab notaris/PPAT tergantung dari kedudukannya dalam penyelesaian sengketa, namun pada intinya mempertanggungjawabkan perbuatannya baik secara perdata, pidana, maupun administratif.   Kata kunci: notaris; perdata; sengketa; tanggung jawab. ABSTRACT The role of a notary today is crucial for the parties who wish to make variety of agreements, due to authentic notarial deed is considered to be more secure for the society than the legal power of the deed under the hand. Nevertheless, in practice it is frequently discovered the presence of a notarial deed being sued to be requested  for cancellation  before the court due to the fault of the parties who disagree and dihonest in his statement to the notary, or the fault of the notary him/herself, either for negligence or willful misconduct. This article/is an analytical descriptive study, in order to see the position of the notary in the process of examination of dispute in court either as a person in his/her capacity as a state official or from the positions of the authentic deed made are often the source of disputes and and responsibility of the notary who is deemed to have made mistakes during undertaking further work that is considered detrimental to the third party. In terms of any problems that might arise in the future on the publication of an authentic deed made by the notary, the notary may not necessarily be drawn as the guilty party which  caused the disputes, yet to be seen how far the offense has been committed by a notary, whether there is an error/not, a violation of the code of ethics and or the Law Number 2 of 2014 on the Position of Notary (hereinafter referred to as UUJN). In the dispute resolution in court on civil disputes, notaries can hold the position as the other party such as  Defendant,  if deemed to have  committed an unlawful act to the detriment of others, as a co-defendant, or witness. The responsibility of a notary/PPAT depends on his/her position in dispute resolution, but in essence, they are responsible for their actions, whether civil, criminal or administrative. Keywords: notary; dispute; private; responsibility

From a historical point of view, it can be argued that the cultivated arrangement of the relationship between man and woman, the support of the institution of marriage, and therefore families, have always been one of the important requirements of individual cultures and religions. There is also a close connection between the state of society (and the dominant requirements in it) and the form of personal and family life. In the Western cultural space with the decisive ecclesiastical discourse, the view of marriage and the family was not spared from one-sidedness and problematic practice. The current magisterium of the Catholic Church remains critical of some contemporary trends and phenomena, including the questioning of the very institution of marriage and the family. At the same time, it remains open to new challenges in this field.The article aims to critically reflect on some issues related to the current situation of marriage and the family, especially the individual and social ethical context of married and family life in contemporary Western culture.Using a reflection of the findings of selected authors, especially of sociologists (Lipovetsky, Beck), the article demonstrates the reality of problematic „points“ of the present time (marked by magisterial texts by Pope Francis) and their connection to married and family life. It thus verifies the thesis that the preconditions for marriage and the family are currently weakened in the Western area. This state of affairs include even the institutions that want to invoke the necessary personal and social responses to the problematic situation. Although the study does not capture the full range of issues and problems currently associated with marriage and the family, it does demonstrate that marital and family relationships in contemporary Western culture are conditioned by a number of factors. Those cannot be fully influenced by the individuals directly affected. The study points to the crucial role of politics, including its responsibility and to the exclusive role of the Church. The Church can, in many respects, increase respect for the institutions and bring a concrete help to the people.The result of the study is an emphasis on the fact that, in the current situation, it is not easy for individuals or families to maintain their own integrative values. It is not easy to withstand the pressures from the outside, to not succumb to the vision of success offered by the majority society. It is also problematic that the focus of politics is not predominantly on the family but, above all, on the immediate interests of the individual. Politics is irresponsibly undercutting itself in order to get into favor of individuals.The conclusion of the study confirms the validity of the magisterial belief that the prosperity of the family is crucial for the future of the world and the Church. Marriage and the family are natural communities that correspond to a person‘s anthropological setting. They allow him or her to find his or her own identity. They are a guarantee of the humanization of the person and society, a protection against deformations of the individualistic or collectivist type.

This chapter complements the volume’s focus on Celtic–Classical interactions within the notion of Britishness by examining the role of such a dialogue in Ireland’s attempts to extricate itself from the British Empire, and by emphasizing the part that Irish scholars and poets have played in shaping Celtic, Roman, and British identities. It focuses on the Revivalist translator and neurologist, George Sigerson (1836–1925), whose comparative reading of ‘Celtic’ and Latin poetry set out to prove an Irish influence on Latin verse, on the one hand by arguing that Cicero was directly influenced in his poetry by a Celtic druid, and on the other by proving that the author of the first Latin biblical epic of Late Antiquity was Irish. The chapter examines these arguments for the forgotten Celticization of Rome in the light of colonial mimicry, before asking how Sigerson put his theories of the postcolonial power of cross-linguistic influence into practice in his own translation strategy. It concludes by highlighting the lasting implications of Sigerson’s call for a new way of reading texts across languages, attuned to verbal and stylistic echoes and so able to dismantle any strict divide between the Celtic and the Classical.
