No / The University of Manchester, England hosted the fourth Work, Employment and Society Conference, on 1¿3 September 2004. Previous WES conferences were held in Nottingham in 2001, Cambridge in 1998, and Canterbury in 1994. Two even earlier stages in the process of institutionalization were the first British Sociological Association conference on the theme of Work in 1984, and the launch of the Work, Employment and Society journal itself in 1987. Although the conference is a separately organized event, it has become de facto the conference of the WES journal.

No / The past two decades have seen important changes in the ways in which archaeologists perceive interpersonal violence in the past. Prehistoric archaeology in particular provides a unique long-term perspective on the development and institutionalization of violence in human societies, adding a further dimension to the work of cultural anthropologists studying more recent non-state societies. Evidence can be drawn from a range of sources, including material culture, settlement patterning, iconography and (crucially) patterns of trauma in human remains. The interpretation of such evidence remains inseparable from wider contextual understandings of prehistoric social forms and practices. This paper considers the specific role of archaeological evidence in establishing a broader historical context for the study of violence.

Denna avhandling undersöker problemet med penningtvätt inom fastighetsmäklarbranschen iSverige. Trots regleringar och lagstiftning fortsätter penningtvätt att vara en utmaning förbranschen. Genom att tillämpa den rättsdogmatiska metoden granskas befintlig lagstiftningoch åtgärder för att förhindra penningtvätt identifieras. Specifika problem som identifierasinkluderar användningen av dolt ägande, värderingsmanipulation och bristandekundkännedom.För att förhindra penningtvätt föreslås åtgärder som ökade sanktioner, strängare krav påmäklare och branschutbildning. Ny teknik, såsom automatiserade övervakningssystem ochblockkedjeteknologi, kan också spela en avgörande roll i arbetet mot penningtvätt. Slutsatsenär att en kombination av åtgärder krävs för att skapa en tryggare och mer ansvarsfullfastighetsmarknad. Genom att öka medvetenheten, främja efterlevnad av lagstiftning ochförbättra utbildningen inom branschen kan penningtvätt effektivt motverkas, vilket skapar ensäkrare arbetsmiljö för mäklare och mäklarföretag.

The concept of civil society has for so long been complex, elusive and debatable. Time and again it has increasingly dominated both political and academic discourses. For the last two decades, there has been proliferation of civil society organisations especially in developing world whereby the donor community regard them as a universal remedy for underdevelopment and authoritarianism. After failure of several development approaches to do away with poverty, underdevelopment and dictatorial regimes, civil society has been presented as the beacon of freedom, the fountain for the protection of civil rights and of resistance against state repression. It was also regarded as the mobilizing platform of society for the protection and projection of substantive interests, the compelling force for state moderation, the epitome of popular struggles and civil power as well as a centralforce in political and economic reforms. This report presents findings on a study of state-civil society relationship, the case of Uganda. The main objective of this study was to “describe and analyze the reality of civil society in Uganda in relation to the theoretical concept of civil society”, therein comprehending the functions, actors and relationship between state and civil society in Uganda. The study process consisted of a desk study of available documentation on civil society concept.  The main findings indicate that civil society organisations in Uganda are more active in the area of service delivery than policy advocacy. Therefore the bilateral function as service deliverers and policy advocates by civil society is far way from being a reality in Uganda. Findings also indicate that the state is less tolerant and uncomfortable with advocacy CSOs but largely cooperates with CSOs dealing in service delivery. The applicability of civil society concept in Uganda’s context is still far away from being achieved due to the fact that the political environment where civil society operates is constrained by the state. It was also revealed that donor funding is the cornerstone for civil society functioning in Uganda.
