Disintegration of the Kingdom of Hungary and the Treaty of Trianon. Politics of memory in Slovakia and Hungary

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

As the title indicates, the team of contributors, consisting of Hungarian and Slovak authors, does not focus primarily on the historical events of 1918-1920 in Central Europe (i.e. the breaking up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the disintegration of the Hungarian Kingdom, the formation of Czechoslovakia, the peace conference and the making of the Trianon Peace Treaty). Political history in the traditional sense is not the focus here; rather, the authors are interested in the narratives which were told of those events in the subsequent 90 years, their existence and impact in various social contexts. Each chapter observes a different area of the institutionalised social sphere, wherein the discourse on the mentioned historical period was present in one way or another. The authors focus on four domains of social production / reproduction and instrumentation of historical knowledge: professional history writing; official history curriculum; political discourses and the utilisation of history in public discourses, as well as the symbolic/ social representation of the events around ‘Trianon’ in public spaces.

Modeling And Prediction Of The 2019 Coronavirus Disease Spreading In China Incorporating Human Migration Data

Author(s): Choujun Zhan,Chi Kong Tse,Yuxia Fu,Zhikang Lai,Haijun Zhang / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) began to spread since December 2019 from Wuhan, a centrally located city in China with a population of 11 million, to almost all provinces throughout China and 213 other countries. On February 19, 2020 (when this work was completed), a total of 74,579 cases of COVID-19 infection were confirmed in China, and the death toll reached 2,119. Moreover, as human-to-human transmission had been found to occur in some early Wuhan cases in mid-December (Li et al., 2020), the high volume and frequency of movement of people from Wuhan to other cities and between cities was an obvious cause for the wide and rapid spread of the disease throughout the country. Prior study also suggested strong correlation between the spreading of infectious diseases with intercity travel (Colizza et al., 2006). The Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed (SEIR) model has traditionally been used to study epidemic spreading with various forms of networks of transmission which define the contact topology (Diekmann, Heesterbeek & Britton, 2013), such as scalefree networks (Pastor et al., 2001; Boguna et al., 2003; Small & Tse, 2006), small-world networks (Small & Tse, 2005), Oregon graph (Wang et al., 2003; Chakrabarti et al., 2008), and adaptive networks (Gross, D’Lima & Blasius, 2006). Moreover, in most studies, the contact process assumed that the contagion expanded at a certain rate from an infected individual to his/her neighbour, and that the spreading process took place in a single population (network).

The Study Of The Effects Of Mobility Trends On The Statistical Models Of The Covid-19 Virus Spreading

Author(s): David Gondauri,Mikheil Batiashvili / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The history of the Pandemics makes a significant impact on the memory and behavior of the affected communities. It is important to study the connection between human mobility and the spread of viral infection. Specifically, we aimed to investigate whether there was a correlation between Mobility Trends and the spread of Covid-19 virus. Thus, in the conclusion it should be noted that the intensity of pedestrians, traffic and transit traffic during the study period, on average, after 15-20 days, affected the spread of the virus. If there was a positive slope and correlation coefficient between the variables presented in the period 22.01.2020 - 11.03.2020 (before the announcement of the pandemic), in the period 12.03.2020 - 14.04.2020 (after the announcement of the pandemic) the slope and correlation coefficients received negative values between the study variables, which indicates That on average, after 15-20 days, Due to the intensity of the movement, the center of the virus spread is identified, and the intensity of the movement itself is decreased.

‘Unwanted But Needed’ In South Africa: Post Pandemic Imaginations On Black Immigrant Entrepreneurs Owning Spaza Shops

Author(s): Sadhana Manik / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This chapter is an attempt to imagine the policy environment and socio-economic spaces of what a post pandemic SA could be for immigrant small/micro business entrepreneurs, who are owners of ‘spaza’ shops. I present a focused gaze for this sub set of immigrants (developing the informal economy in SA) who have been experiencing a cornucopia of challenges pre-pandemic and during the pandemic based on their status as immigrant entrepreneurs, the most pronounced of which has been xenophobia which is cocooned within the explicit aim of purging South Africa of immigrants. It is for this reason that I trace the realities of the landscape pre COVID-19 and during the pandemic before offering up three ‘imaginations’ (O’Tuathail, 1996) as possibilities for the future of immigrant spaza shop owners. I draw on existing securitization policies, political utterances and practices, socio-economic events and immigrants’ experiences in post- apartheid South Africa which has created particular ‘auras’ ( Roy, 2005) and anti-immigrant discourses that provide some insights into what a post pandemic future could be.

Labour Market And Migration Outcomes Of The Covid-19 Outbreak In Mexico

Author(s): Carla Pederzini Villarreal,Liliana Meza González / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

One of the main results of the health crisis caused by the expansion of the coronavirus in Mexico is the plunge of the economic activity and the consequent reduction in employment. The pandemic adds to the negative performance that both the economy and the employment rate had been showing in the country. In January 2020, before the first COVID case, ILO had already estimated an increase in the unemployment rate in the country in 2020 and 2021. On the other hand, economic activity fell in Mexico -0.1 in 2019, which shows that Mexico was experiencing a recession before the pandemic onset.

Reflections On Collective Insecurity And Virtual Resistance In The Time Of Covid-19 In Malaysia

Author(s): Linda A. Lumayag,Teresita C. Del Rosario,Frances S. Sutton / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

No one escapes insecurity today. It is one of the most basic human experiences, more pronounced in others depending on their personal and social circumstances. Personal insecurities refer to the subjective feeling of anxiety and to the concrete lack of protection. This paper attempts to interrogate collective insecurity particularly among migrant workers. The paper likewise argues that such experience gives rise to a form of collective resistance which has become more pronounced within the context of the coronavirus pandemic. In this paper, we argue that migrant insecurity is a collective experience, and is all the more heightened in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. (see for example, Cohen, 2020). We further argue that forms of resistance have been developed as a response to collective insecurity.

Author(s): Elena Varzari / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The goal of the present article is to investigate how the Phenomenon-BasedLearning Approach can be applied in teaching the speech act of praise. Beinglearner-centred, Phenomenon-based learning is a rather new multidisciplinaryteaching style based on learner inquiry and problem solving activities. Itsnovelty lies in the procedure within which the students themselves, under theguidance of teachers, choose a topic (phenomenon), decide what they want toknow about it, explore and answer their own questions using and applyingexisting knowledge from various subjects appropriate to the solving of the setgoals. We propose the scenario of such an activity following some of the stepsspecific for the PhBL approach.

Author(s): Olga Cosovan / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The terminology used in the Language and Communication curriculararea contains numerous specifically philological vocabulary units. Theinterdisciplinary potential of philological terminology comes into play when aword that is a legitimate linguistics or literary theory term passes into social andhuman sciences or arts, with slight semantic adjustments. The transdisciplinarypotential of philological terminology may be perceived in certain situations,amongst which we could name a lexicographic approach to words; perceivingsemantic processes, which also involves terms; the use and the specificsemantisation of terminological word combinations, with common elementsappearing in various terminological systems, as well as the assimilation ofalgorithms for the fulfilment of intellectual operations and the development ofassessable products

BEYOND THE SOFT LAW- HOW THE LEGISLATOR CAN RULE THE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?

Author(s): Renier Steyn / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Values are often linked with nations or regions, and the relationship between values and behaviour is well established. Aim: The aim of the study is to provide a multi-dimensional description of economic values across several countries and to link these values with gross national income, a proxy to wealth. Method: Cross sectional country-level data on five economic values (from the World Values Survey) were related to GNI per capita data (from the World Bank). The relationship of each economic variable with GNI were calculated. Results: Compete data for 65 countries were available. The data revealed certain economic values (e.g., Private ownership being favoured above government ownership of business and industry) are significant predictors of GNI. Other economic values (e.g., Competition as being good or harmful) are not significant predictors of GNI. Discussion: Certain economic values are present in countries where levels of wealth is high. Formal or mainstream support for these values may contribute to wealth creation. Conclusion: Country-level wealth can be explained by differences in the economic values regarded in specific countries. Wealth may increase if these values are endorsed.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN COLOMBIA

Author(s): César Augusto Ortiz Neira / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The rights that women have been obtaining are more the result of individual struggles, with legal recognition, through the exercise of the tutela action and the issuance of the corresponding sentences that resolve them. The historically discriminated woman then becomes a subject of special constitutional protection, in fact, what the Jurisprudence has called a reinforced protection that shows that her rights have been disregarded unlike those of men who do not seem to require, in general, this constitutional guarantee. Through the exercise of the tutela action and in the instance of review, the Honorable Constitutional Court has issued sentences that have generated new rights by issuing Jurisprudence on the issues under review. It is through the use of the tutela action that women have been obtaining rights that historically have been denied to them and that, even once recognized through different judicial rulings, continue to be violated by the abuse of the law by judges or institutions in charge of enforcing the rights, once recognized. It is important to remember that the exercise of the tutela action is only appropriate in Colombian law to protect and guarantee those fundamental rights contemplated as such in articles 11 to 41 of the Political Constitution of Colombia.
