Abstract:

The collective monograph examines the main aspects of the large-scale structural modernization of the Russian economy at the present stage. Considerable attention is paid to the necessary conditions for the implementation of structural changes, the increasing importance of social and socio-political factors is analyzed, and the sectoral and regional potential of structural modernization is studied in the context of its relationship with practice. Barriers and factors that are relevant for Russia, as well as the effects of numerous rounds of collective sanctions that constrain structural transf

Over the last 70 years, Holocaust representations increased significantly as cultural objects distributed on a large scale: fictional books, museum sites, artworks, documentaries, and films are only a few samples of those echoes the Holocaust produced in contemporary Western culture.

Abstract:

Journals are becoming increasingly more stringent in their requirements for what must be reported in articles about the psychometric properties of scales. This chapter reviews three of the most commonly used guidelines; the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, the STARD initiative (Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy), and the Guidelines for Reporting Reliability and Agreement Studies (GRRAS). It abstracts portions of these guidelines that are most relevant for scales used in research settings. These cover the reporting of test development, reliability, and validity.

Abstract:

This chapter provides a brief overview of the need for measurement in the health sciences. As interventions are increasingly aimed at improving subjective states, such as quality of life or pain, it becomes ever more important to be able to measure these accurately. This means that the items must be clear, unambiguous, and as free from biases as possible. Test constructors must also be aware of the different options for responding to the items. Finally, issues of reliability and validity need to be addressed. The chapter also has a ‘road map’ and flow chart, outlining the steps in scale constr

Abstract:

The chapter explores the notion of “community interests” with regard to the global “land-grab” phenomenon. Over the last decade, a dramatic increase of foreign investment in agricultural land could be observed. Bilateral investment treaties protect around 75 per cent of these large-scale land acquisitions, many of which came with associated social problems, such as displaced local populations and negative consequences for food security in Third World countries receiving these large-scale foreign investments. Hence, two potentially conflicting areas of international law are relevant in this con

Marxism was one of the major currents that brought history from below into ancient history, through a focus on slaves, women, and other subaltern groups.
