In the case of Lagrange, we have a man whose interest seemed to lie in other fields until, apparently by accident, his attention was drawn to mathematics which he then studied almost to the exclusion of everything else. Lagrange was of French descent, but for a number of generations his people had been in Turin where representatives of his family held a certain political post in the Sardinian government. Loria notes that this position remained in the family until 1800 from which one concludes that it was abolished when Napoleon's campaigns changed the political organization of Italy.

The foundation of social order, the primary essence and basic nucleus of every political organization, rests in the family, without whose stable and healthy development, the prosperity of the nation is impossible. On the afternoon of August 10, 1959, several dozen Dominican and Cuban women gathered in the streets of Havana. Dressed in black as though headed to a funeral, they mourned the political situation in the neighboring Dominican Republic. Specifically, they targeted the dictator Rafael Trujillo, calling him the “Jackal of the Caribbean.” As they paraded through the streets carrying placards and visiting newspaper offices, tliey were focusing attention on their specific struggles as women and motliers. Their posters read, “Dominican Women Support the Revolutionary Government”; “We Ask for the Expulsion of Trujillo from the OAS”; and “We Represent the Mourning of the Assassinations Committed by Trujillo.”

Opening Paragraph

Opening ParagraphAn outstanding feature of the kinship organization of the Baniyankole is its lack of uniformity. Here we have an African tribe composed of pastoralists and agriculturalists, whose respective kinship organizations reveal marked differences, despite the fact that they have for a long time inhabited a common territory, spoken a common language, and practised many similar customs. Besides these two, so to speak, original forms there are the more recent variations due to European influences. If we are to study the family, for instance, we shall have to consider several types. There is the family of the Muhima herdsman, the family of the agricultural Mwiru of the old type, the family of the peasant who owns cattle and grows coffee, and the family of the government clerk or school teacher. Similarly, if we were to study the political organization, we should have to consider the old form of Banyankole kingship as it existed when the British took over the administration of Ankole, the outlines of which we are able to construct not only from the present form of government but also from official documents and the memories of missionaries and natives who lived at the time, and the series of changes that have taken place in this form of government. It at once becomes apparent that we are here dealing with variations and change. Differences in time and space are as much facts of the case as are the peculiarities and general features of a given item of culture. Any realistic approach to the variations and changes in the kinship organization of the Banyankole, therefore, calls not only for description but for comparison and interpretation.

In order to codify the political and partisan activity in Iraq, after a difficult labor, the Political Parties Law No. (36) for the year 2015 started and this is positive because it is not normal for the political parties and forces in Iraq to continue without a legal framework. Article (24) / paragraph (5) of the law requires that the party and its members commit themselves to the following: (To preserve the neutrality of the public office and public institutions and not to exploit it for the gains of a party or political organization). This is considered because it is illegal to exploit State institutions for partisan purposes . It is a moral duty before the politician not to exploit the political parties or some of its members or those who try to speak on their behalf directly or indirectly to achieve partisan gains. Or personality against other personalities and parties at the expense of the university entity.

The growth of cities and informal economies are two central manifestations of globalization in the developing world. Taken for a Ride addresses both, drawing on long-term fieldwork in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and charting its public transport system’s journey from public to private provision. The book investigates this shift alongside the increasing deregulation of the sector and the resulting chaotic modality of public transport. It reviews state attempts to regain control over public transport, the political motivations behind these, and their inability to address its problems. The analysis documents how informal wage relations prevailed in the sector, and how their salience explains many of the inefficiencies of public transport. The changing political attitude of workers towards employers and the state is investigated: from an initial incapacity to respond to exploitation, to political organization and unionization, which won workers concessions on labour rights. A longitudinal study of workers throws light on patterns of occupational mobility in the sector. The book ends with an analysis of the political and economic interests that shaped the introduction of Bus Rapid Transit in Dar es Salaam and local resistance to it. Taken for a Ride is an interdisciplinary political economy of public transport, exposing the limitations of market fundamentalist and postcolonial scholarship on economic informality and the urban experience in developing countries, and its failure to locate the agency of the urban poor within their economic and political structures. It is both a contribution to and a call for the contextualized study of ‘actually existing neoliberalism’.

AbstractTransport routes are basic elements that are inextricably linked to diverse political, economic, and social factors. Transport networks may be the cause or result of complex historical conjunctions that reflect to some extent a structural conception of the political systems that govern each territory. It is for this reason that analyzing the evolution of the transport routes layout in a wide territory allows us to recognize the role of the political organization and its economic influence in territorial design. In this article, the evolution of the transport network in the Iberian Peninsula has been studied in a broad chronological framework to observe how the different political systems of each period understood and modified the transport systems. Subsequently, a second analysis of the evolution of transport networks in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula is included in this article. This more detailed and geographically restricted study allows us to visualize in a different way the evolution and impact of changes in transport networks. This article focuses on the calculation of the connectivity to analyze the intermodal transport systems. The use of network science analyses to study historical roads has resulted in a great tool to visualize and understand the connectivity of the territories of each studied period and compare the evolution, changes, and continuities of the transport network.

We reflect on the political organization processes of Mapuche women in territories demarcated as “protected areas” and “sacrifice areas” in Neuquén, Argentina. Beyond the differences, both conservation and protection as well as sacrifice and risk, question the rights of Mapuche communities over the territories, rising socio-environmental conflicts in which women and their practices, knowledge and bodies take a leading role. From an ethnographic and ecofeminist perspective, we investigate the practices and meanings of care, proposing a reflection on what we define as “the political”, seeking to study how care, “poner el cuerpo” and the reproduction of life become forms of politics that allow dispute rights over territories that are redefined based on their protection or sacrifice.

Frequent Exposure

The proliferation of fake news on Facebook and Google has been a hot-button topic after the 2016 US presidential election. Fake news phenomenon is not limited in the political sphere. The porn industries have been using affiliate marketers to send fake news to reach more consumers, even children. Easy availability of pornography for children on the internet has been an issue. In US, the average age of exposure to porn is 11 to 12. Frequent exposure to pornography may lead to normalization of harmful behaviors. Starting late 2013, internet service providers in Britain made “family-friendly filters,” which block X-rated websites, the default for customers, because kids are exposed to pornography at a young age. Google banned pornographic ads from its search engine from July 2014. Prostitution and escort services extend its market despite these efforts for the sake of the upsurge porn fake news. Porn fake news is produced purposefully to click, share, react, and comment. To mitigate the damage caused by porn fake news, designing a fully automated fake news detector is currently infeasible, because the problem at hand is too complex for technology alone. Even the subproblem of defining the criteria under which to classify news as “fake” creates ambiguity that requires human judgment. The ability to determine whether an article is real or fake requires more than just information about the article; it requires an understanding of cultural factors, for example “tea” maybe used by prostitution and escort services in Taiwan. This paper suggests one way to use artificial intelligence and human judgment to make it more valid to quarantine porn fake news.
