Legal Profession of China in a Globalized World: Innovations and New Challenges

Spatial and social mobility in an increasingly globalized world is associated with new challenges for social sciences, including political science. This also applies to methods and methodology. The article aims to reveal the cognitive potential that lies in the use of multi–sited ethnography for research on politics and on the study of political behaviors (das Politische). The utility of this approach is illustrated on the basis of the research on social and spatial mobility of small town residents conducted with the use of this method.

New Millennium

Practicing good advocacy in the new millennium may not be that different than it was in the century just past. What is different are some of the new challenges to be faced in becoming and remaining an effective and successful advocate. The foundations of skillful advocacy are best set down at the outset of one's legal career, and the development of the art must at all times be considered from its human, legal, and ethical sides. While the evolution of the practice of law is built upon the careful and steady historical ascendancy of precedent, there are practices and rules in our age that need to be critically examined. In this lecture, delivered before an audience comprised mainly of people newly entering the legal profession, the author shares his thoughts on the contemporary practice and ethical strictures of good advocacy. He draws on a wide body of knowledge, personal experience, and established practices in the legal profession, and imparts lessons on a thorough range of advocacy topics, including the importance of preparation and presentation, the art of examination and cross examination of witnesses, and tactics for addressing juries.

Globalized World

The rapid development of information technology and the changing social and political situation around the world brings new challenges to madrasah. Madrasahs are challenged to transform themselves into institutions that are able to adapt to changing society. That means the madrasah must be able to adapt to the globalization process. Therefore, madrasah should be able to identify challenges and formulate strategies. The most important thing to note is that the process of change is not aimed at the institution itself, but rather to help students as the next generation of nations to embrace a different world, a globalized world characterized by constant technological change and different social lives.Pesatnya perkembangan teknologi informasi dan perubahan situasi sosial dan politik di seluruh dunia membawa tantangan baru untuk madrasah. Madrasah ditantang untuk mengubah dirinya menjadi lembaga yang mampu beradapt asi dengan perubahan masyarakat. Itu artinya madrasah harus mampu beradaptasi dengan proses globalisasi. Oleh karena itu, madrasah harus mampu mengidentifikasi tantangan dan memformulasikan strategi. Yang paling penting untuk dicatat adalah bahwa proses perubahan itu tidak ditujukan pada lembaga itu sendiri, melainkan untuk membantu siswa sebagai generasi penerus bangsa untuk merangkul dunia yang berbeda, dunia yang mengglobal yang ditandai dengan perubahan teknologi yang terus terjadi dan kehidupan sosial yang berbeda.

Professional Formation

This article analyses the development and achievements of the area of History in the Tuning-Latin America Project from its launch in 2004 to its completion in 2013. Through two phases and nine general meetings, academics from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru, along with academics from Spain, Portugal and Italy, discussed the professional formation of future generations of historians. The debate centred on the concept of “competences” as the axis of training, a concept which generated innovative thinking and understanding but also friction due to specific historiographic traditions and regions. The Tuning-Latin America Project generated a significant body of documentation on the new challenges implicit in training historians in a globalized world. However, it has not received sufficient analysis from the Latin-American perspective. This article contributes to this by providing insight on the Tuning Project’s successes and limitations in Latin America, as well as evaluating its progress more than a decade after it was introduced.

Particle Images

Compared with images of negatively stained single particle specimens, those obtained by cryo-electron microscopy have the following new features: (a) higher “signal” variability due to a higher variability of particle orientation; (b) reduced signal/noise ratio (S/N); (c) virtual absence of low-spatial-frequency information related to elastic scattering, due to the properties of the phase contrast transfer function (PCTF); and (d) reduced resolution due to the efforts of the microscopist to boost the PCTF at low spatial frequencies, in his attempt to obtain recognizable particle images.
