Abacus of frozen conflicts
No full textOne of the central topics of international relations study is the function of military threats as a mean to deter international crises and war. Rational choice models provide the groundwork for theorizing circumstances under which conventional deterrence is likely to thrive or fail. According to Paul Huth, rational deterrence theorists have focused on four sets of variables: the balance of military forces, costly signaling and bargaining behavior, reputations, and interests at stake. By using the case of the Russian-Georgian War of August of 2008, one can argue that an actor's perception, in addition to signaling, is another essential variable for successful deterrence.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Outstanding ThesisCenter for Strategic Studies under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Baku, Azerbaijan author (civilian)http://archive.org/details/abacusoffrozenco10945528

settlement of Interest-free banking disputes under Ethiopia banking law: a comparative study
No full textOne of the most emerging trends in global economics is the idea of interest-free banking and
finance. Interest-free banking in the global landscape has emerged as an alternative banking
system. It was established based on the ethos and values of Islam and is governed by the rules of
Sharia law. Ethiopia is actively working for financial inclusion, especially under the country’s
financial inclusion policy, which focuses on the inclusion of Muslim interests in financial
institutions. This has begun with permission given for interest-free banking, followed by Islamic
insurance, and now interest-free microfinance. The government introduced interest-free banking
in 2011 by enacting two directives: 1) the Directive to Authorize the Business of Interest-Free
BankingNo.SBB/51/2011; and 2 the Directive to License and Authorize Interest-Free Banking
Business No.SBB 72/2019. In addition, these directives oblige the application of Islamic laws for
interest-free banking transactions. The aim of this research is to investigate the legal framework
for dispute settlement of the interest-free banking regulation in Ethiopia in line with Islamic
perspectives. By using comparative methods of analyzing rules, this research has investigated
and analyzed legal deficiencies. Furthermore, the study employs non- doctrinal methodology to
identify the practical procedure for dispute settlement in interest-free bank in Ethiopia. The
author has found that the existing legal framework is not adequate to settle disputes in the case
of interest-free banking, Interest free banking dispute settled by conventional laws which are
against Islamic finance principles and a dispute settlement mechanism for interest-free banking
is not included in Ethiopian banking regulations. As a result, the author recommended major
points in order to provide a solution to the major legal problems identified by this research that
surround dispute settlement of interest-free banking, as well as making a solution to dispute
settlement of interest-free banking in Ethiopia

Features of the translation of Turkish realities in fiction (based on the material of Chalikushu's novel by Reshad Nuri Gyuntekin)
No full textТаким чином, існує декілька способів перекладу реалій, і найбільш вживаний з них – транслітерація. Однак завжди треба пам'ятати, що засмічений транслітерованими словами текст не відбиває намірів автора, який описує близьку для нього дійсність, а для іншомовних сучасних читачів вона стає чужою і незрозумілою. Тому можна сказати, що всі засоби передачі реалій у перекладі напряму залежать від задачі, що стоїть перед перекладачем: зберегти колорит мовної одиниці з можливим збитком для семантики або передати значення реалії (якщо воно невідомо), втративши при цьому колорит. Таким образом, существует несколько способов перевода реалий, и наиболее применяемый из них - транслитерация. Однако всегда надо помнить, что засоренный транслитерированными словами текст не отражает намерений автора, который описывает близкую для него действительность, а для иностранных современных читателей она становится чужой и непонятной. Поэтому можно сказать, что все средства передачи реалий в переводе напрямую зависят от задачи, стоящей перед переводчиком: сохранить колорит языковой единицы с возможным ущербом для семантики или передать значение реалий (если оно неизвестно), потеряв при этом колорит. Thus, there are several ways to translate realities, and the most used of them is transliteration. However, one should always remember that the text clogged with transliterated words does not reflect the intentions of the author, who describes a reality close to him, and for foreign modern readers it becomes alien and incomprehensible. Therefore, we can say that all means of transmitting realities in the translation directly depend on the task facing the translator: to preserve the color of the language unit with possible damage to semantics or to convey the meaning of realities (if it is unknown), while losing color
India on the Global Market of Energy Resources: Issues of Energy Security
No full textThe purpose of the chapter is to find out the position and the role of the Indian Republic in the global market of energy resources. One of the most important and significant question of this chapter is the issue of energy security and independence of India in the context of national economic security. The authors tried not only to determine the position and the role of the Indian Republic on the global market of energy resources but also to identify the sharpest and the most cornerstone issues of the Indian dependence on energy import in the context of economic and energy security. The 1990s in India are known as the period of economic reforms, that have been aimed at liberalization of the Indian economy (especially, foreign trade and the sphere of foreign direct investment) and implementation of economic transformation and orientation on the market basis. The key idea of economic reforms was to decrease government control and regulation under the market. At the same time, implementation of FDI policy liberalization allowed to attract foreign capitals to almost all the sectors of Indian economic activity, to set up joint ventures, increase the level of employment, develop the basis of infrastructure transformation and so on. For instance, the “Mining and petroleum and natural gas” sector was liberalized for FDI, and the level of entrance to the sector was almost totally 100% under automatic and government route (except petroleum refining by the Public Sector Undertakings (PSU), without any disinvestment or dilution of domestic equity in the existing PSUs—49% under automatic route). According to the last published data by “BP”, India took 5.4% of the global consumption of crude oil in 2019 (by thou. barrels daily), took 7.9% of the global import of crude oil in 2019 (thou. barrels daily), took 11.8% of the global coal consumption in 2019 (by exajoules—EJ) and 16.1% of the global import of coal in 2019 (by EJ). All these indicators tell us about the certain dependence of India on mineral resources and import supply, and interrelation with the issues of economic and energy security. So, in the context of IEA prospects, it is rather important to understand the current situation of the global market of energy resources, the position of India on it and the importance of energy and economic security. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG

No full text12 pages.If the study abroad pro-gram
ever needs a spokes-woman,
they’ll find one in
Carla Gibbs. The junior Mi-cah
student at Saint Louis
University recently partici-pated
in a study abroad Casa
program, where she spent a
life-changing semester in the
Philippines experiencing a
new culture.
“I love doing service and
diving into different cul-tures,”
said Gibbs. She re-flected
that through the
Casa program she was able
to accomplish both of these
things by experiencing the
Filipino culture and learning
how to accompany the com-munity.
Established in El Salvador
by Santa Clara University,
the Casa program is founded
on spirituality, simple com-munity
living, academic
study and accompaniment
for those who are suffering.
Gibbs was one of the first of
two SLU students to partici-pate
in the Casa program in
the Philippines. She said that
the program is not as much
about doing things as it is
about making connections
between people of different
cultures and building rela-tionships.
“I want to be skilled in
working with all kinds of
populations,” stated the
friendly social work major.
With her love and fascina-tion
for people, it’s no sur-prise
that she grew close
with her Filipino and Casa
families while abroad – de-spite
language barriers. In
not knowing the communi-ty’s
native language, Tagalog,
Gibbs was able to find other
ways of connecting with
people.
“The language of love and
laughter is something, in my
opinion, that is so prevalent
in poverty stricken commu-nities,”
Gibbs said. “They’re
very rich in their heart in-stead
of in the material
world.”
Besides connecting with
her Filipino families, Gibbs
has also found family within
SLU’s own Micah organiza-tion
– a faith-based learn-ing
program that was a huge
selling point for her when
deciding on colleges.
“I’m just really thankful
for that whole community,”
Gibbs stated. “We can have
fun but be serious and deep
together at the same time.”
Gibbs’ passion for the Mi-cah
Program and the Jesuit
mission are mirrored in her
desire to sometime join ei-ther
the Peace Corps or the
Jesuit Volunteer Corps.
“I want to travel wher-ever
I can in the world,” said
Gibbs. She dreams of com-bining
traveling with work-ing
with children in third-world
countries.
“There’s something about
[children] that just makes
me come alive and feel like
the best me that there is.”
In 1995, a group of Af-ghan
women escaped the
Taliban and journeyed to
America for a better life. It
was here in St. Louis where
this group discovered Gitana
Productions – a nonprofit,
multidisciplinary arts and
education program that uti-lizes
music, dance and dra-ma
to provide the St. Louis
community with a healthy
outlet for expression. Gitana
Productions
has given
these Af-ghan
wom-en,
as well
as numerous
other racial-ly
diverse
groups, an
emotional
safe haven
and a chan-nel
through
which to tell
their stories.
“While doing outreach
with Carpenter Branch Li-brary,
I learned of the con-flicts
and misunderstand-ings
that occurred between
African American and Im-migrant
Youth, and often
between different refugee
groups such as the Bosnians
and Gypsies,” said Cecilia
Nadal, founder of Gitana
Productions.
The organization was es-tablished
in 1996 as an effort
by Nadal to bring a global vi-sion
of the arts to St. Louis.
Nadal had the idea that a
cross-cultural awareness
and appreciation for diver-sity
could help St. Louis in
future progression efforts.
The program has seen im-mense
growth since its es-tablishment,
and in 2008 it
introduced St. Louis to an
artistic version of a youth-outreach
program. Through
this community arts project,
Global Education through
the Arts, Gitana promotes
an intercultural competence
among the economically-challenged
youth living in
South St. Louis.
Global Education through
the Arts is a 16-week after-school
program that gives
these students the oppor-tunity
to explore St. Louis’s
artistic side
by taking
f i e l d t r i p s
to dance
and musi-cal
produc-tions,
radio
and televi-sion
stations,
mu s e ums ,
theaters and
f e s t i v a l s .
With the ul-timate
goal
of providing team-building,
conflict resolution, cross-cultural
communication and
social skills to these youth,
the project engages these
ethnically diverse kids in the
fields of dance, poetry and
drama.
Through the program,
Nadal hoped to discipline
the youth to work as a team
and bring about cultural ac-ceptance.
It provides almost
8 hours of weekly training in
drama, leadership and dance
to 100 kids.
The program is free-of-

SLU sets tuition hikes for 2014-15 school year
A summary of SLU’s Fis-cal
Year 2015 budget was re-leased
by Interim President
Bill Kauffman last Thursday,
announcing a 3.5 percent
increase in undergraduate
tuition and a 2.2 percent in-crease
in graduate and pro-fessional
tuition. In addition,
the university has commit-ted
5.3 million for
faculty and staff salary raises,
equating to a 2 percent merit
compensation pool accord-ing
to the letter.
“There was a concerted
effort to keep tuition in-creases
as reasonable as pos-sible,
while ensuring that we
have the necessary financial
resources to further enhance
the already outstanding
quality of a SLU education,”
Kauffman said in his letter.

Let Us Introduce You: Carla Gibbs
Jessica Winter/The University News
Divided only by an ocean
and two continents, SLU
students are set for a Skype
debate with students in Af-ghanistan
on affirmative ac-tion
and it’s applicability to
Afghan culture. The debate
aims to honor Black His-tory
Month within an inter-national
forum, while also
bringing a new level of cul-tural
learning and discussion
to campus. Both the Cross
Cultural Center and the
Center for Global Citizen-ship
are hosting the event.
“The basic idea for this
unique program is to gener-ate
conversation about civil
rights and human rights as
they relate to Black His-tory
Month,” Katie Gauthier
Donnelly, Program Manager
at the CGC, said.
The debate will focus on
America’s history of poli-cies
concerning affirmative
action and whether appli-cation
of similar policies in
Afghanistan would be prac-tical
and desirable in Afghan
society. The concept is taken
from a yearly international
debate held during Black
History Month by the ODS-AO
(Open Debating Society
of Afghani-stan-
Orga-n
i z a t i o n ) ,
the first
r e g i s t e r e d
debate orga-nization
in
Afghanistan,
in conjunc-tion
with the
U.S. embassy
in Afghani-stan.
Frozan
Ma q s o o d
and Reshad Farzan, two of
the six founders of ODSAO,
worked with their mentor
Diana Carlin, the Associate
Vice President for Graduate
Education and International
Initiatives, to bring the event
to SLU.
The debate topic provides
a unique opportunity for in-ternational
and intercultural
communication on issues
that aren’t part of the usual
public discussion. Carlin
noted that there are many
conflicts in Afghanistan over
women’s rights, specifically
concerning
educational
opportuni-ties
and the
role of wom-en
in the
government.
Cultural re-s
t r i c t i o n s
on women
working and
v i o l e n c e
a g a i n s t
women have
also received more media at-tention
lately. The debaters
will attempt to demonstrate
how American affirmative
action policies might or
might not help the country
resolve such issues.
“Affirmative action is still
controversial in this coun-try,”
Carlin said, noting that
the topic leaves plenty of
room for consideration.
Farzan stated that 11
years after the U.S. invaded
Afghanistan, Afghan citizens
are still trying to adjust to
the differences between the
two cultures.
“[People are] trying to ad-just
to positive U.S. history,”
Farzan said. “Seeing that
[some things] happened in
America and happened well,
the belief is [they] will hap-pen
in Afghanistan.”
According to Carlin, part
of the debate’s purpose is
helping students understand
the influence of American
culture abroad.
“Culture is rather perme-able,”
Carlin said. “You take
a general principle… [and
consider] how you make
that work with cultural re-straints.”

has helped in identifying
many of the people that the
committee has spoken with
for the search, whether that
be candidates or people with
recommendations. AGB has
also played a large part in
identifying best practices for
the search and in helping to
create the position profile
for the new president.
The profile was built input
from two campus forums,
the Madrid administration,
the Arts and Sciences faculty
committees, SGA, the Facul-ty
Senate, college deans and
essentially every other group
on campus.
“That’s another part that
has been good: all of the work
that has been done to iden-tify
the position description,”
said Smith. “I think that was
important because we were
able to explain what we were
trying to do in the search,
and we got a lot of feedback
that was helpful in designing
the position description.”
In the profile, the com-mittee
has
provided a
detailed and
t h o r o u g h
description
of every as-pect
that
they felt
each candi-date
should
reflect and
value. Over-all,
those in-clude
a commitment to the
Jesuit mission, a decisive and
inclusive leadership style, an
ability to effectively fund-raise
on behalf of the univer-sity
and a vision for future
education.
Smith said that candi-dates
must not only vouch
for these characteristics, but
must also somehow prove to
the committee that they will
effectively portray th and fol-low
through in each of these
departments.
“If we
recommend
three [can-didates],
it’s
because we
think that
any one of
those three
could be a
good presi-dent—
and it
won’t be any
more than
three,” stated Smith.
Currently, the committee
is still taking nominations
and is in the process of iden-tifying
candidates, talking
with them and reducing the
pool to a more manageable
number. Reference checks
and background checks have
been a critical part of the
search, and by the end of
this stage they hope to have
around 10-12 people – at
which point the interviewing
phase will begin.
In an effort to ensure con-sistency
with each interview
and to encourage an open
process, the Search Commit-tee
is creating standardized
questions and will interview
each candidate as a group.
After thorough evaluations
and various meetings, they
look to ideally have two to
three candidates by the end
of Feb. whom they will rec-ommend
to the Board.
While unable to disclose
any specific profile infor-mation
about the individual
candidates, Smith did reveal
that included in the group
are Jesuits, women and
even current presidents of
other universities. Despite
