People and Time: The Painting Exhibition Catalog
The exhibition presents the work of Russian artists of different ages and experience, displayed in various painting techniques and genres, united by one idea to capture the spiritual world of a person and its manifestation in life and culture. The idea of such an exhibition was born a long time ago, and now it has formed into a concept to present the work of both already formed artistic personalities with their own unique vision of the world, who have developed their own manner and painting techniques, and novice, young artists with a direct, open look at the world, untrained visual approaches reflecting their idea of people, their deeds, experiences, exploits, an independent vision of the reality being changed by a person and cultural transformation of space. Artists pay close attention to the transience of the flow of human life, the cyclical nature of natural phenomena, the passion of human nature, the strength of spirit, the height of spirituality, the depth of poetry, historical exploits, cultural traditions and embody in the images of their works.
Political Dissent and Democratic Remittances
With a focus on the most recent wave of political emigration from Russia unleashed during President Vladimir Putin’s third term, this book explores the activities of those who voice political dissent after leaving their country. Based on rich ethnographic data and interviews gathered among Russian emigrants to the EU member-states, who are engaged in civic and political participation targeted at their home country, it demonstrates that emigration, particularly forced emigration in which political dissidents are squeezed out of their country, no longer functions efficiently as a means of calming political unrest. Drawing on the concept of social remittances, the author analyses the content, structure and the channels of political democratic remittances sent by political dissidents overseas, the factors that shape them and the perceived effects of these endeavours. A study of the latest wave of politically charged emigration from Russia and emigrants’ engagement in ‘homeland politics’, this volume will appeal to scholars across a range of social sciences working on migration, diaspora and democratisation processes, citizenship, EU studies and Russia studies.

Un Homme à Abattre
Pour écrire ce livre l'auteur s'est appuyé sur les vrais échanges. C'est un travail d'investigation au coeur du système policier russe, uniquement répressif. Une machine à broyer. Mais la vie et l'espoir sont plus forts que tout. Lutter c'est vivre. L'ensemble de ces documents ont été transmis au Gouvernement Français.. . Nous avons aussi rencontré des personnes serviables, qui ne supportent plus ce régime cinique et corrompu... Contre toute attente !.
Amnesty International Report 2015/16
Der ›Amnesty International Report 2016‹ ist das essentielle Handbuch zur weltweiten Lage der Menschenrechte. Das vergangene Jahr war von gewaltsamen Konflikten und dem Versagen vieler Regierungen geprägt, die Sicherheit und Rechte der Zivilbevölkerung zu gewährleisten: Terror, Bürgerkriege, willkürliche Verhaftungen und Exekutionen waren für Zehntausende bittere Realität. Verfolgung und Diskriminierung sowie Folter und Tod gehörten zu den Ursachen für die größte Flüchtlingswelle seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Der ›Amnesty International Report‹ ist eine Bestandsaufnahme und gibt anhand von circa 160 Länderberichten – unter anderem aus der Volksrepublik China, Nigeria und den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika – einen Überblick über die weltweite Situation der Menschenrechte.

Residue Number Systems
There has been continuing interest in the improvement of the speed of Digital Signal processing. The use of Residue Number Systems for the design of DSP systems has been extensively researched in literature. Szabo and Tanaka have popularized this approach through their book published in 1967. Subsequently, Jenkins and Leon have rekindled the interest of researchers in this area in 1978, from which time there have been several efforts to use RNS in practical system implementation. An IEEE Press book has been published in 1986 which was a collection of Papers. It is very interesting to note that in the recent past since 1988, the research activity has received a new thrust with emphasis on VLS...
