The presented text consists of two parts. The first is a review of Janina Gesche’s book devoted to the German-speaking winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature in the first half of the twentieth century. Gesche not only meticulously reconstructed the activities of the Swedish Academy, but also showed the cultural German-Swedish relations in this period against a broad background. The second part shows the activities of Carl David af Wirsén (1842–1912), who as secretary of the Academy had a huge impact on who will be honored with the award. Wirsén’s attempt to create his own rules for granting the Nobel Prize ended in failure, as shown by the theory of Pierre Bourdieu.

Transboundary disputes over Lake Victoria between Kenya and Uganda concern resources in the marine zone. This transboundary conflict has had a negative impact on managing economic security since it has not been adequately addressed in resolutions. This study evaluates the strategies for resolving transboundary disputes between Kenya and Uganda in light of strengthening bilateral economic security management. The study was influenced by the structural-functionalist philosophy, social conflict, and John Burton’s theory of conflict resolution. The research design used in the study was descriptive. The samples were chosen using simple random sampling methods and purposive sampling techniques. Philosophically, the work provided a foundation for future research and helped us comprehend transboundary issues and how to manage them. Findings indicated that mediation and conciliation were the most used mechanism in resolving disputes in Lake Victoria. However, this approach has not reach zenith as far as managing dispute between Kenya and Uganda is concerned. The study recommends that, sensitization programs tailored towards effective dispute management be put into place and awareness programs disseminated along contested boundaries. In this regard, economic security management will be bolstered well.

Son yıllarda hem küresel hem de bölgesel dinamikler dolayısıyla ağırlıklı olarak göç konusunun uluslararası boyutunu konuşsak da maalesef Türkiye’de 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde yaşanan ve 11 ili etkileyen yıkıcı deprem felaketi, tüm ekonomik ve sosyal dinamiklerin yanı sıra felaketler sonrası ülke içi göç ve yer değiştirme konusunun da gündeme gelmesine ve tartışılmasına neden oldu. Depremler 1,8 milyonu göçmen olmak üzere bölgede yaşayan yaklaşık 16 milyon kişiyi etkilerken (Reliefweb, 2023), mevcut tahminler en az 2,7 milyon kişinin depremleri takiben ikamet yerlerini terk ettiklerini gösteriyor. Türkiye ile birlikte Suriye’yi de etkileyen depremlerde her iki ülkede yaklaşık 850 bin çocuğun da yerinden olduğu raporlanmış bulunuyor (UNICEF, 2023).

This paper aims to get an insight into students’ perceptions regarding hybrid learning/on-line learning, in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. This seems to be increasingly important, as decision-making in any university takes into account the viewpoints of all the important stakeholders, in this particular case, professors and students alike. In this research study, I focused on the first year students of only one faculty of Bucharest University of Economic Studies, namely International Business and Economics.
