L’évaluation de la performance de l’Ombudsman est complexe en raison d’une mission de nature procédurale et de caractéristiques spécifiques aux organ-ismes de protection des droits. Cet article offre une synthèse des connaissances de la mesure de sa performance et ouvre la voie à de nouvelles réflexions tant théor-iques que pratiques. En plus de présenter les forces et les faiblesses des différents modèles d’évaluation recensés dans la littérature, cette étude précise la raison d’être de l’Ombudsman ainsi que les finalités de son évaluation. Cet article formule les prémisses d’une évaluation intégrée de la gestion de l’Ombudsman parlementaire.Owing to its procedural mission and the specific characteristics of rights protection organizations, the evaluation of an Ombudsman’s performance is a complex task. This article presents a knowledge synthesis of performance measure-ment for Ombudsman’s Offices and opens the way to new reflections that are both theoretical and practical. In addition to presenting the strengths and weaknesses of the various evaluation models identified in the literature, this study clarifies the purpose of the Ombudsman and the purposes for which it is evaluated. Finally, this article formulates propositions for an integrated assessment of the management of the Parliamentary Ombudsman.

In studies of Renaissance architecture, little attention is normally given to the organization of building sites and to the way in which the practicalities of mechanics and material supplies influenced the finished works. This article describes Inigo Jones's site organization at St. Paul's Cathedral where, during the 1630s, he undertook the large and complex task of refacing the existing Gothic structure. Here practical site constraints influenced Jones's design at least as much as theoretical objectives. This study throws light on Jones's relationship with his assistant, John Webb, who oversaw much of the day-to-day work, and illustrates such details as Jones's use of craftsmen to make and amend models in perfecting his designs on-site. In this article the work's accounts are studied in order to reinterpret the few known surviving working drawings and contemporary views that record one of Jones's most important achievements.

The field of computational models of argument is emerging as an important aspect of artificial intelligence research. The reason for this is based on the recognition that if we are to develop robust intelligent systems, then it is imperative that they can handle incomplete and inconsistent information in a way that somehow emulates the way humans tackle such a complex task. And one of the key ways that humans do this is to use argumentation either internally, by evaluating arguments and counterarguments‚ or externally, by for instance entering into a discussion or debate where arguments are exchanged. As we report in this review, recent developments in the field are leading to technology for artificial argumentation, in the legal, medical, and e-government domains, and interesting tools for argument mining, for debating technologies, and for argumentation solvers are emerging.

Past research shows that teams working on a complex task need developmental space to be successful. They can create this space in their interaction by undertaking four activities: creating future, reflecting, organizing, and dialoguing. These four activities refer to two orientations: the performance orientation, limiting the space, and the sensemaking orientation, opening up the space. Teams need them both, yet it seems inconsistent and impossible to achieve together, thus a paradox. In this exploratory research, we address the way in which teams experience and handle that “developmental space paradox,” and how it affects team success. Individual team members ( N = 70) from 12 teams were interviewed. Successful ( n = 7) and unsuccessful ( n = 5) teams were compared. The results show that successful teams experience this paradox differently than the unsuccessful teams, and that both categories choose other coping strategies to handle this paradox.

Australia’s parliamentary model of rights protection depends in large part on the capacity of the federal Parliament to scrutinise the law-making activities of the Executive government. Emergency law-making undertaken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the Australian Parliament’s capacity to provide meaningful scrutiny of proposed laws, particularly identifying and addressing the impact of emergency powers on the rights of individuals. In this context, the work of parliamentary committees has become increasingly important. Special committees, such as the Senate Select Committee on COVID-19, have been set up to provide oversight and review of Australia’s response to the pandemic. This article gives an early glimpse into the key features of the COVID-19 Committee and the way it may interact with other committees within the federal system to scrutinise the government's legislative response to the pandemic. It also offers some preliminary thoughts on the capacity of these committees to deliver meaningful rights scrutiny.

Abstract The article discusses the recast of the EU Return Directive (2008/115/EC) from the perspective of effectiveness and fundamental rights protection, as two underlying objectives of the Directive. Relying on the implementation assessment of the Directive carried out by the European Parliamentary Research Service, the article analyses the way in which Member States have implemented the Directive and how this has impacted the effectiveness of the Directive. If adopted as proposed, will the recast strengthen or further undermine the effectiveness? The assessment focuses on return decision, voluntary departure, entry ban, and detention. It also looks at omissions in the recast proposal, namely a missed opportunity to remedy the current shortcomings as regards non-returnable people. As the article concludes, the recast proposal will hardly improve the effectiveness of return and may lead to violations of fundamental rights of people in an irregular situation.

RESUMEN En este artículo se analizan las denominaciones de Vasconia y sus siete provincias, una labor compleja debido a la ausencia de una entidad política duradera que las abarcara a todas. Usando una metodología más histórica que filológica, se explican brevemente su origen y la evolución de su significado a lo largo de los tiempos y se da para cada una de ellas una etimología verosímil y otras, que sin serlo, han conocido cierto éxito. El objetivo final ha sido intentar acabar con vacilaciones en una cuestión que, por sus implicaciones, supera los planos meramente lingüístico e histórico y preparar el camino para un Diccionario de los nombres de los pueblos de Vasconia. LABURPENA Artikulu honetan Euskal Herriaren eta haren zazpi probintzien izenak dira aztergai. Lan nahasia da, ez baita inoiz denak bildu dituen entitate politiko iraunkorrik izan. Gehiago metodologia historikoa erabiliz filologikoa baino, haien jatorria eta haien esanahiak denboran zehar izaniko bilakaera azaltzen dira laburki eta haietako bakoitzarendako etimologia sinesgarri bat ematen da, baita, sinesgaitzak izanik, arraskatsuak izan diren beste batzuk ere. Azken helburua duda-mudekin bukatzen saiatzea izan da. Izan ere, afera honek, dituen ondorioengatik, maila linguistikoa eta historikoa gainditzen ditu. Horrez gain, Euskal Herriko herrien izenen hiztegi baterako bidea urratu nahi izan da. ABSTRACT This paper analyses the names for Basqueland and its seven provinces, a complex task due to the absence of a lasting political entity that would incorporate them all. Using historical rather than philological methodology, their origin and evolution of meaning over time are briefly explained and a plausible etymology is given for each, as well as other etymologies that, without being so, have been partly successful. The ultimate goal has been to try to end confusion in a matter that, due to its implications, goes beyond mere linguistic and historical levels, and to pave the way for A Dictionary of Town Names in Basqueland.

An unconventional approach to the study and analysis of ontogenesis, based on the duality of its nature is proposed: in the first case this is a phenomenon, in second case it is a process. As a phenomenon, ontogenesis covers all manifestations of living, providing the continuity of life on all the levels of its organization, ensures lifespan of a species, regardless of the individual‘s life, and thus the dynamic stability of the cycle of matter and energy flows, the evolution cycles, the biosphere and life in general. As a process it is the implementation of ontogenesis by the way of successive morphogeneses. There is a gap between these components of ontogenesis (the phenomenon and the process) that must be filled out. This is a complex task in the scope of the ontogenesis evolution problem (making the theory of ontogenesis).
