Around 1 in 6 of the world’s children live in a conflict zone, and of these 357 million children, 165 million are affected by high intensity conflicts. Pediatric war injuries pose a huge challenge to health professionals treating such patients. The evidence base on the quality and scale of this challenge is scarce, and the majority of clinicians treating these patients are either not sufficiently experienced in the treatment of war injuries, are not pediatric surgeons, or both. The majority of the evidence in the literature comes from a small subset of children who were managed in well-resourced military facilities that differ drastically from the conditions in which the majority of war wo...
Provides a detailed look at how war affects human life and health far beyond the battlefield Since 2010, a team of activists, social scientists, and physicians have monitored the lives lost as a result of the US wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan through an initiative called the Costs of War Project. Unlike most studies of war casualties, this research looks beyond lives lost in violence to consider those who have died as a result of illness, injuries, and malnutrition that would not have occurred had the war not taken place. Incredibly, the Cost of War Project has found that, of the more than 1,000,000 lives lost in the recent US wars, a minimum of 800,000 died not from violence, but f...

Der Begriff Anti-Semitismus ist zur Währung geworden für die Kennzeichnung von Menschen: wer als Anti-Semit öffentlich angeklagt oder bezeichnet wird, ist praktisch ein Stigmatisierter, ein Außenseiter - und das trifft auch viele Juden und kritische Israelis, die mittlerweile in groß- formatigen Zeitungsanzeigen weltweit bekunden: Not in our name. Der inzwischen hemmungslos verwendete Begriff Anti-Semitismus hat sich von seiner ursprünglichen Bedeutung zu einem Wort entwickelt, das vor allem Bedrohung, Einschüchterung und Erpressung signalisiert, für manche sogar das soziale Ende. Beispiele dafür gibt es reichlich. Wolfgang Preikschat hat mit diesem Buch, mit dieser Selbstvergewisserung einiges gewagt: Hintergründe auszuleuchten, unbequeme Fragen zu stellen und vor allem an gängigen Erklärungsmodellen zu zweifeln, die von interessierter Seite permanent gestreut werden. Einfach das Wagnis, sich dieser Erpressung nicht zu beugen.
In what we tell ourselves is an age of reason, we are behaving increasingly irrationally. An astonishing number of people subscribe to celebrity endorsed cults, Mayan armageddon prophecies, scientism, and other varieties of new age, anti-enlightenment philosophies. Millions more advance popular conspiracy theories: AIDS was created in a CIA laboratory, Princess Diana was assassinated, and the 9/11 attacks were an inside job. In The World Turned Upside Down, Melanie Phillips explains that the basic cause of this explosion of irrationality is the slow but steady marginalization of religion. We tell ourselves that faith and reason are incompatible, but the opposite is the case. It was Christian...
Since 2011 the Libyan crisis has moved from being a domestic dispute to assuming increasing importance at the international level. Today it represents a crucial issue affecting global security. The intervention of external actors in the Libyan crisis was mainly driven by a desire to direct the transition towards outcomes that would best meet their own political and economic interests. Accordingly, each external player tried to support one specific faction, favoring either the Parliament in Tobruk, upheld by Khalifa Haftar, or the Presidential Council headed by Fayez al-Serraj in Tripoli, the latter being legitimized by the UN as well as by local militias in both Misrata and Tripoli. This report analyzes the troublesome re-building of Libya with a focus on the specific role played by international actors (neighboring and Gulf countries, European nations, Russia and the US) which make it more of an international rather than a domestic issue.

Dari penelitian terlihat bahwa Perawi ahl al bida dalam meriwayatkan hadis tidak memiliki bias terhadap mazhab yang dianutnya dengan melakukan pembelaaan terhadap hadis yang diriwayatkannya. Kalau pun terdapat bias dalam periwayatan hadisnya maka bukan karena mazhab yang dianutnya, melainkan jeleknya ahlak perawi hadis tersebut. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan celaaan (tajrih) terhadap perawi tersebut dari para kritikus hadis. Penilaian ibn Hajar al Asqalani terhadap para perawi hadis juga tidak sepenuhnya tepat, karena dalam kenyataaanya ada perawi yang seharusnya dikategorikan baik (ta’dil) yang berimbas sahih terhadap hadis yang diriwayatkannya namun justru dicela (tajrih) sehingga hadis...
