Abstract: Thesis Statement: Alexander the Great’s grand strategy of world conquest and leaders who followed his example such as the Arabs of the seventh and eighth centuries, Napoleon I, and Adolf Hitler, could never achieve world conquest. The reason is that every offensive military operation ultimately reaches a culminating point. This principle applies to the leaders of modern countries today. Methodology: Historiography and conceptual analysis of the writings of ancient and modern scholars and historians. Results: Alexander’s desire for world conquest caused him to continually move from one victory to another without creating a new moral and political community coextensive with his conquests and capable to lending stability to a new empire. Conclusion and Implications: Alexander, and other previous or current leaders bent on world conquest can never achieve this goal because every offensive military campaign reaches a culminating point beyond which continued operations risk overextension, counterattack, and defeat.

Abstract: Economic globalization has led to the continuous increase of multinational companies and enterprise groups in the field of shipping, an international and fully open international shipping market has initially formed, and the foreign-related business of shipping companies has also increased. But since the financial crisis, the shipping industry has been in a downturn, and bankruptcy cases of shipping companies continue to occur. In 2012, the world's second largest independent tanker operator, Overseas Ship Holding Group Inc (OSG), filed for bankruptcy protection; in 2013, STX Dalian went bankrupt; in 2014, the world's largest marine fuel oil supplier (OW Bunker) declared bankruptcy; in 2017, Hanjin Shipping, the world’s seventh largest shipping company, was declared bankrupt by a South Korean court. In this paper, we focus on the analysis for the legislative provisions and problems in judicial practice of the jurisdictional system of maritime cross-border insolvency cases, summarize the factors affecting the jurisdictional system of maritime cross-border insolvency cases by combining the criteria and theories of jurisdictional determination, draw on the legislative and judicial practice experience of major shipping countries, and put forward feasible suggestions to improve the jurisdictional system of maritime cross-border insolvency cases. This dissertation analyzes the conflict of jurisdiction between maritime and bankruptcy in the same jurisdiction and the conflict of jurisdiction in different jurisdictions from both horizontal and vertical dimensions; theoretically and practically, through the current regulations and judicial practice of China and major shipping countries, it puts forward feasible suggestions to improve the jurisdictional system of maritime cross-border bankruptcy cases in China.

Among Young People in Togo, Social Media Provide Social Remediation

Abstract: The notion of re-mediation sheds light on a shift that takes place gradually from action to reaction, from adjustment to readjustment, from formatting to reformatting, from mediatisation to re-mediatisation, from information to re-information. This shift is not trivial. It underlines the need for a rebalancing, a reorientation of policies and even information, communication and digital strategies. Following this logic, this paper presents social media as a tool of social remediation, in other words, resolving certain issues related to people's place in society and their relationships with others. By favouring speech and social mediation in various virtual discussion forums, social media helps citizens reconnect with the "palaver tree" and "grin" in traditional African societies. The palaver tree is well known, the grin a little less. The term "grin" signifies a place of meeting, entertainment and discussion. It is used in the Bambara cultural sphere (Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast), suggesting that it is a French transliteration of the word "gεrε", which has the same meaning and pronunciation in Bambara. Traditional media outlets have tended to replace these meetings dedicated to speech and discussions, without necessarily fulfilling the same functions. By reconstituting them, social media places citizens at the centre of the mediatised public space, from which they had been excluded. We are thus witnessing remediation, insofar as social media introduces citizens to an agora that was previously inaccessible.

Abstract: Since the onset of the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 epidemic in Burkina Faso, the already critical situation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) following terrorist attacks, has worsened. IDPs – who face an existential crisis – are further stricken by the psychosocial repercussions of the health crisis that are undeniable and known all over the world. The coexistence of the security and health crises further amplifies the psychosocial impact of the condition, especially for individuals living in extreme poverty. Through a qualitative methodology based on individual interviews and clinical observation, this article analyses the emergence mechanisms of psychosocial conditions in Internally Displaced Persons in a COVID-19 context and aims to identify and assess the psychosocial disorders inherent to the coronavirus pandemic in this population. Thus, terrorist attacks, hasty departures, abandonment of land, houses, property, loss of close relatives, material and financial hardship, etc., are all challenges whose impact is far more distressing for this population. Although it is not perceived as a significant phenomenon, the COVID-19 crisis is an aggravating factor due to its effect on the country and the world. As such, a psychological support framework that promotes a locus of control focused on problem-solving is recommended. This will reduce peritraumatic dissociations and prevent post-traumatic disorders associated with the context.

Highlighted Figures of Political Instrumentalization of Religion / Church - Contribution to the Issue of Its Nature and Internal Differentiation

Abstract: The political instrumentalization of religion / Church is - it seems - a fact. However, if any doubts arise in this respect, they can be dealt with by articulating what is constant / variable in the content of the idea (i.e. the idea of political instrumentalization of a religion / church) in terms characteristic of phenomenology, and then by reconstructing, analyzing and discussion of dimensions used for characterization: all politics-religion / state-church relations, political instrumentalization as a specific form of these relations and its internal differentiation (typology). All this must be preceded by reflection on the perspectives and limitations of unambiguous identification of the actual presence of instrumentalization and its form. This is done by recalling unclear, ambiguous cases (Pascal's bet and the authentic statement of the mother of a Jewish child...). In this context, heuristically particularly valuable are two forms of political instrumentalization of religion / church - self-instrumentalization and religiously motivated "black" PR of political opponents - and the attempts to use them together. These phenomena are illustrated by the reinterpretation of cases of political instrumentalization of religion / church present in the literature on the subject.

Abstract: During more than six centuries of existence, Bacau benefited both from the favorable socio-economic and political context, and from the interrelationships with the other communities, from the harmonious combination of these two elements resulting both the growth and development of the locality and the position in the local and regional hierarchy. The main beneficiaries of the progress made were of course the inhabitants, the city representing a living environment for them, as well as the essential factor in the functional dynamics and in the urban landscape. The sum of the histories of the communities that contributed to its secular existence, Bacau is in fact the binder and the proof of the perfect communion between them and the Romanians. Each community that contributed to the existence of Bacau actually contributed to the definition of the complex identity of the locality. Through its own cultural values, each community, with its own religion, history, with its own traditions, holidays and symbols, through its own way of being has expressed its vision of the world, of man and of relations with fellow human beings in a specific language, which it distinguishes it from both the majority population and the other communities. Over time, the Jewish community has contributed not only numerically to the growth of the population of Bacau, but also economically and culturally. Personalities with remarkable intellectual capacity honored Bacau both in the religious field and in the field of science and art. Their impact on the evolution of Bacau was extremely strong, largely due to the economic evolution of Bacău at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century.
