Eastern Europe - Science topic

Identifying a Miocene freshwater turtle can be tricky! Scientists use special features like the shape of the shell, bones, and teeth to figure out which kind of turtle it is. They often compare it to other known turtle fossils to make a match.

Thank you!

On the page of these items, you should have a drop-down menu titled "more". Among the options, you should find "claim authorship". That's what you need, probably.

Thank You for your recommendation.

Thank You for all recommendation

I think 'Lambert Academic Publishing (LAP)' is one of the vanity publishers. Do not fall into the trap. I mean do not publish your thesis or book via this publisher, it may bring trouble in your future scientific career.

Hello,

Interesting topic of research. What about Women in North Africa please?

Timber houses in northern Europe

Timber houses, also known as wooden huts, originated in northern European countries such as Sweden, Finland, Norway and Russia. The reason is that in these places, what was found in abundance was forests and trees. Timber houses have a very prominent exterior. Usually the color of these houses is burnt brown to black and the timber is placed horizontally. In the corners, the beams are fastened together. Of course, before the construction of these houses, brick houses related to the Viking period style were very common in these areas. Later in the mid-17th century, Swedish immigrants introduced this style of home to the people of North America, and later Native Americans and American colonists imitated this style of architecture.

The findings, published in Nature tomorrow and Behavioral Sciences this week, raise questions about the practice of drawing universal claims about human psychology and behavior based on research samples from WEIRD societies.

“The foundations of human psychology and behavior have been built almost exclusively on research conducted on subjects from WEIRD societies,” says UBC Psychology and Economics Prof. Joe Henrich, who led the study with UBC co-authors Prof. Steven Heine and Prof. Ara Norenzayan.

“While students from Western nations are a convenient, low-cost data pool, our findings suggest that they are also among the least representative populations one could find for generalizing about humans.”

The study, which reviews the comparative database of research from across the behavioral sciences, finds that subjects from WEIRD societies are more individualistic, analytic, concerned with fairness, existentially anxious and less conforming and attentive to context compared to those from non-WEIRD societies.

Marcus Vinicius C. Alves search fot those theories and you will get more of the genre, sir.

All the best!

Fighting every moment against frustrations.

As Dr Allen noted, it depends on your purpose. Assuming all are continuous measures, I would start with correlations to see how the variables relate to one another. If you are interested in the combined effects of the two IVs on each DV I would do two multiple regression analyses, regressing each DV separately on the 2 IVs. MANOVA would be used if the two IVs are categorical and you want to see the joint effects of both IVs on both DVs simultaneously.

You will face fierce resistance from the goverment, so you will have to struggle for access to the relevant data. Otherwise I hope you will succeed with finishing the project. I am definitely pessimist about the future of this region.

Please look at the following below links which may help you in your analysis:

Thanks

Thank you, I will take a look

Did you already search the internet for seed catalogues (= Index seminum) from botanical gardens? A quick search now has resulted in a number of botanical gardens, which distributed Lythrum virgatum during the last years through their seed catalogues:

http://www.botanischer-garten.uni-erlangen.de/pdf/IS-2015-2016.pdf (Erlangen-Nürnberg, Gemany, who have got the plants from HB Paris)

I suppose most or all of these got the seeds from plants cultivated in their garden.

Hi, Catalina.

I think, there is quite a lot literature on this topic out there. One of the recent texts, I came across, was Ana Juncos´ "Member state-building versus peacebuilding: the contradictions of EU state-building in Bosnia and Herzegovina" (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13523279.2011.635650). You might want to check the reference list of this article to find out other relevant studies (e,g, Gergana Noutcheva has wrote a lot on the EU democratization policy incl. in the Balkans region). 

Hope, it helps.

All the best,

Ekaterina

I primarily recommended in my perception two valuable publication which definitely enlarge your intellectual horizon to tackle the issue.

Minority Rights in Central and Eastern Europe BASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European studies Series editor: Richard Sakwa Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Kent First published by Routledge 2009

Minority Integration in Central Eastern Europe Between Ethnic Diversity and Equality Edited and introduced by Timofey Agarin and Malte Brosig Amsterdam - New York, NY 2009

Please, find attached files.

With best regards,

Dear Ekaterina,

Thank you for the information. I know no Russian, but I will contact the two persons. Maybe there are some publications in English, French or German, too.

Thank you

Cristina and Megali, - I thank you for the very interesting information. In Albania, we are now discussing the new law on lustration, and the practices of some former communist countries are good examples to be analyzed. New Albanian Law on opening “the dossiers” is taken from the German practice, but law is not accompanied with the process of lustration, which I think is a more complex process and more difficult. Again, thank you!

CARPATCLIM should be more presize, but unfortunately, they have coarser resolution (10x10km) compared to BIOCLIM (1x1km), so for the species distribution modelling in Carpathians we prefer BIOCLIM.

Dear Balasz,

Many thanks for your kind response, it helps.

I have some familiarity with the Hungarian compensation laws (in English there is also an excelent literature on the shortcommings of these laws),  but  what I am trying to argue is that these compensation/restitution laws in post-communist Europe are just in their name about "restitution." And that generally, they do not correspond to what the civil lawyers understand by the term restitution. Indicating the definition of "restitution" in the civil codes in force during real existing socialism, I can show somehow that "restitution" already existed, and does not have reinvented by socialist lawmakers (for their benefit, of course...I would be curios to find out whether the politicians or their proxies, in Hungary were able to benefit from these laws-by buying property, for example...; this is a topic not well tackled in the English literature). So this is why I asked for definitions of restitution in the civil codes...it is easily to show that compensation/restitution laws diverge in their fundamental traits from what was understood as restitution in 1989...

Otherwise, I dream that we will be able to have sometime in the future an oral history project, where all these encounters with post-communist laws on "restitution" could be recorded (including yours and your family)...so the future generations know how chaotic were the first years of post-communism.

With my thnaks and the best wishes,

Liviu

Hi Eltion

Indeed ICTWSS is a very comprehensive database

You may find useful the following paper by Jelle Visser "Wage Bargaining Institutions - from crisis to crisis" .

I'm not entirely sure that the insecurity of the eastern and southern European members of the alliance is fully appreciated.  In conversations I've had with eastern Europeans (mostly from Poland and the Baltics) they are profoundly disappointed with the Alliance for the simple reason that the 'West' doesn't take their concerns about Russia seriously enough.  The annexation of Crimea has probably changed that, but there is an unbridgeable divid:  they want the permanent stationing of NATO (read US) troops on their territory and many in the alliance are firmly against doing so (notably Germany).
