Conventional water resource carrying capacity (WRCC) assessment methods often struggle to capture dynamic water-economy-ecosystem interactions and lack standardized, reproducible frameworks. This study introduces water accounting—particularly the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-W)—as a comprehensive methodological upgrade for WRCC assessment. Through a systematic review of existing methods and a detailed case study, we demonstrate how SEEA-W integrates hydrological processes with socioeconomic data using a structured supply-use framework, enabling multi-scale, policy-relevant, and comparable assessments. Our analysis identifies five critical dimensions for enhancing WRCC practices: spatiotemporal scalability, standardized account compilation, data gap mitigation, integration with ecosystem accounting (SEEA-EA), and modular indicator development. The results highlight the potential of SEEA-W in identifying water-use conflicts, evaluating efficiency, and supporting sustainable water governance. Finally, we outline key challenges—such as data consistency and regional adaptability—and propose strategies for future advancement, including the adoption of hybrid data integration techniques and unconventional water resource accounting. This research provides a new pathway toward more systematic and adaptive water resources management.

This essay demonstrates how wartime objects can have a special resonance in families as keepers of memory, and it especially explores the role of daughters of military participants in preserving the artifacts of their veteran fathers. Using several case studies from a recent public history project collecting objects and object stories in the American southwest, it argues that a focus on daughters as caretakers of family military history offers a new way to engage with descendants’ histories by showing how the work of such women can contribute to our understanding of modern war and its legacies.

The aim of this review study is to achieve a comprehensive and deep understanding of the research process and new issues in the systematic review of the merger process in government organizations as well as to identify the related research areas.As a descriptive-analytical research,this study uses the bibliometric methodology. The VOSviewer software is used for bibliometric analysis.The findings indicate that during the period between2000 to2010, research conducted in this field has taken an upward trend, then followed by a downward trend. Then in2012, the volume of studies in this field increased significantly, and after that, a decreasing trend was observed again. Genealogy studies indicated that the authors of 81% of the studies have a doctorate degree and are university faculty members; 19% are graduate students , a high percentage that in itself can indicate the richness and quality of the research conducted in the field of merger on the one hand, and the importance of this issue in the world's scientific societies on the other hand. 17% of the studies considered in this review, are in the field of "merger", 37% "monopoly", and 46% "merger and acquisition"The studies conducted in the field of “merger” in our country is almost mixed with the field of “acquisition and monopoly”.Many researchers have tried to study what is related to this field in order to evaluate its components and factors as well as the associated consequences.The present meta-analysis is an attempt to re-analyze a set of studies in the field of merge

INTRODUCTION. The book heritage of the region’s personal libraries analysis allows us to understand the reading interests’ specifics of different generations of library owners, and to clarify important aspects of the intellectual and spiritual growth of Tambov bibliophiles in the process of working with books. In this regard, the stages of Alexey Nikolaevich Nortsov’s biography are considered in the context of its influence on bibliophilism.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The fundamental methodology in the work is the principles of objectivity and historicism. The historicism principle made it possible to analyze the book collection of A.N. Nortsov in close connection with the specifics of the epoch and the reader’s needs of the bibliophile. The objectivity principle is i mplemented on the basis of a detailed analysis of historical sources, which makes it possible to comprehensively study the process of completing the Norts library.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. A passion for genealogy and history of his native land inevitably left a mark on A.N. Nortsov’s library collection. His personal collection included voluminous collections of books on local history, regional archeology, and genealogy.CONCLUSION. The study of A.N. Nortsov’s personal library complements the cultural and educational portrait of its owner. The extensive thematic repertoire of the presented books allows us to speak about the broad reading interests of Alexey Nikolaevich, his high artistic taste. At the same time, the library collection acted as a creative laboratory for writing numerous works on the history of the Tambov Region, philosophical, religious, socio-political works.

This article aims to raise awareness that accounting research needs ought to be based upon beliefs about what is "true" or what is "the truth" itself. Research methods should be understood not only as the technique of "cooking". By exploring, the thought of King Udayana and Tri Hita Karana (THK) through genealogy reveals epistemological positions, which is in the positive as well as critical accounting research has a different “truth”. In positivism, the thought of King Udayana and THK can become mechanistic elements of reality that need to be tested. In the critical paradigm, they function as liberators of opression towards a desirable reality ontology. Abstrak Artikel ini bertujuan memberikan penyadaran bahwa pelaksanaan riset akuntansi perlu dilandasi keyakinan mendasar atau “keimanan” tentang berbagai aspek realita. Metode riset harus dipahami sebagai bukan semata teknik “memasak”. Telaah tentang pemikiran Raja Udayana dan Tri Hita Karana (THK) melalui genealogi mendedahkan posisi epistemologis, yang dalam riset akuntansi positif maupun kritis memiliki “kebenaran” masing-masing. Dalam paradigma positivisme, pemikiran Raja Udayana dan THK dapat menjadi salah satu elemen mekanistis realita yang perlu diuji. Di sisi lain, dalam paradigma kritis, mereka berfungsi sebagai pembebas keterkungkungan menuju realita yang diidamkan.

In this paper, we examine the institutionalised demands and imperatives that govern the contemporary working subject. Our starting point is the thesis advanced by both Alain Ehrenberg and Eva Illouz that since the 1960s institutions are no longer characterised by a strict culture of prohibition and discipline. Instead, institutions seem to be increasingly animated by the norms and practices of a "culture of self-care", enriched by therapeutisation (Ehrenberg) and emotionalisation (Illouz). However, this does not mean that the disciplinary regimes that Foucault focuses on are simply disappearing. They persist, albeit in a different form, and we demonstrate this by looking at three central aspects of contemporary wellness: (a) specific spatial arrangements, (b) the performance of bodily practices and techniques and (c) ritualised interactions. We argue that in wellness facilities disciplinary regimes become effective through interpellations that are inscribed in rigid temporal-spatial orders and demand the body's docility. Insofar as this process relies on those norms that Ehrenberg and Illouz reserve for post-Fordist labour, the wellness space can ultimately be understood as a labour space. For what is at stake is the productivity of the subject.

This poem explores intergenerational wounding and healing from the perspective of a descendant of the African diaspora and of people affected by the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Inspired by intergenerational transmission discourse, the author reflects on the original and inherited injuries of the mass trauma of enslavement and initiates a transtemporal communication of empathy and healing with her ancestors.

The genealogical paradigm was renewed in French literary criticism in the XIXth Century. The problem it encounters is the following: on the one hand, to reduce the specificity of literary and artistic genius within natural or historical laws; on the other hand, being too fascinated by the uniqueness of genius, so that any historical explanation of the latter could be attempted. Literary genealogy in France is aimed at escaping the antithesis between reductionist naturalism and ahistorical romanticism. First approached through both a biographical and naturalistic method by Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve during the first half of the century, it turns into a more physiological and Darwinian perspective through Hippolyte Taine’s historiography. Seen from Nietzsche’s European point of view, this way of proceeding lacks self-examination, because every good genealogy must become aware of the values it conveys.

This paper will focus on several sources from Scandinavia and the Balkans, and compare the types of genealogies portrayed in them – descent from gods, descent from another kind of supernatural being, descent from a legendary hero. The paper will examine the types of genealogies and the purpose they serve; how and why they were commissioned? Is there a difference in the establishment of the image of the ruler if the latter has descended from gods, legendary heroes, or a specific clan or dynasty? Does Christianity change the tradition of writing genealogies and the stories they retell? Are personal qualities enough to provide legitimate claims?

After 16th century, literary genealogy genre has taken an important place in folk literature of Turkish people who live in Volga Ural region. In the 19th century, issue of history had also occurred while classical themes and subjects in Kipchak literature were still studied. Tarihnama i Bulgar was published at 1805 which comprises combination of history and genealogy wordings. The work shows features of Kipchak and Oguz languages. In this study, Oguz language features were examined. Features were analyzed under the titles of phonology, morphology, orthography, and lexicology. No significant differences were detected when examples in the phonology and orthography titles were evaluated within the context of the Tarihnama i Bulgar era. However, features of the Oguz language appeared more clearly in the examples which under the titles of morphology and lexicology. Yalçıgul's son Tacetdin who is the author of the work lived approximately 16 years in Anatolia. This is very effective on the formation of his wording and style.

Genealogical investigations that attend to colonial rule reveal the intimate alliance between social welfare policy, racial slavery and modern power. In this paper, I intervene in the historiography of social welfare policy to disrupt a long line of academic study that severs studies on the poor from the history of racial slavery. This separation is enormously productive and conceals the ways in which knowledge systems and social policies are organized by and through racial ideologies, early liberalism and its use of population science. To illustrate this point, I show how concerns with knowing and targeting the bodies of poor and enslaved women helped formulate the new economy, white bourgeois power and the extension of empire.

The article explores the surviving genealogical information resources of Panevėžys churches – christening, marriages, deaths, and population censuses. On the basis of the data provided in these books, repeating common names in different areas of the Panevėžys are overviewed. The origin of family names and their territorial linkage are suggested. Published ethnographic books are featured to reflect the availability of the genealogical research in Panevėžys vicinity. Relevant name correlations are drawn using Lithuanian State documents, such as the archives of the nobility. A new study of genetic genealogy is introduced, its value to research, and a spectrum of open possibilities it offers for solving otherwise complex kin puzzles. With good judgement and analysis, the reader may find the approach taken here encouraging to further explore the expatriates and peoples with relation of Lithuanian ancestry of the 19th–20th c.

The United States, according to sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset, was the ‘first new nation’. It may be at least anticipated, therefore, that genealogy, history, and the narration of time would prove more than usually complicated in a political state united across time and space solely by a civic idealism, and a people bound together only by what president Abraham Lincoln romantically described as ‘mystic chords of memory’. In order to probe the nationalist lineaments of America’s particular approach to locating the nation in time and in tradition, this paper traces a genealogy of American nationalism by interrogating three specific national discourses that have been of significance to the United States since its colonial beginnings. First, the identification of America as the New Israel in the New World; the attempt to inscribe the nation into spiritual, Biblical time. Second, the racial distinctions that America deployed to sustain a civic version of ethnic genealogical determinants, and to construct a coherent narrative of national lineage that embedded its citizens in time and space. And, finally, the role that conflict played, and still plays as both a central core and historical framework for both the narration, and the collapsing of time in the United States today.

A strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus that emerged in 1995 caused the first known pandemic involving this species. This strain comprises clonal autochthonous ocean-dwelling bacteria whose evolution has occurred in the ocean environment. The low sequence diversity in this population enabled the discovery of information on its origin and evolution that has been hidden in bacterial clones that have evolved over a long period. Multilocus sequencing and microarray analysis, together with phylogenetic analysis, of pandemic and pre-pandemic isolates has suggested that the founder clone was an O3:K6 non-pathogenic strain that initially acquired a toxRS/new region and subsequently acquired at least seven novel genomic islands. Sequencing and comparison of whole genomes later confirmed these early observations, and it confirmed that most of the genetic changes occurred via gene conversion involving horizontally transmitted DNA. The highly clonal population rapidly diversified, especially in terms of antigenicity, and 27 serotypes have already been reported. Comparisons of the core genomes derived from the founder clone indicate that there are only a few hundred single-nucleotide variations between isolates. However, when the whole genome is considered (the core plus non-core genome and from any clonal frame), the amount of DNA with a different clonal frame can reach up to 4.2% and the number of single-nucleotide variations can reach several hundred thousand. Altogether, these and previous observations based on multilocus sequence typing, microarray analysis, and whole-genome sequencing indicate the large contribution made by DNA with different clonal genealogy to genome diversification. The evidence also indicates that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) caused the emergence of new pathogens. Furthermore, the extent of HGT seems to depend on the vicissitudes of the life of each bacterium, as exemplified by differences in thousands of base pairs acquired by HGT among almost identical genetic isolates.

The essay explores issues pertaining to genetics vs. culture in understandings of kinship, hybridity as a disruptor of essentialist conceptions of race, the fetishization of ethnicity and culture, racist misuses of genetic science, processes of racialization, and counter-hegemonic resistance. Thirty- and sixty-second television advertisements airing in the U.S. from the 23andMe and AncestryDNA genetic genealogy testing services are analyzed in this context. The investigation demonstrates that genetic ancestry testing providers are well aware that their enterprise is premised on belief in the superiority of biological kinship and that hybridity is mobilized primarily as a marketing opportunity with ethnic components signified in shorthand by fetishized objects. Moreover, the categories of race and ethnicity presented in the ads give cover to racist abusers of genetic science, as the ads are consistent with socially constructed racial classifications. While maintaining this consistency, the categories are subject to adjustment based on the expectations of consumers. Resistance is possible in the use of genetic ancestry by descendants of African slaves to make localized connections to Africa, something that conventional genealogy seldom provides.

BACKGROUND:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an international health concern that has a devastating effect on patients and families. While several genetic risk factors for AD have been identified much of the genetic variance in AD remains unexplained. There are limited published assessments of the familiality of Alzheimer's disease. Here we present the largest genealogy-based analysis of AD to date. METHODS:We assessed the familiality of AD in The Utah Population Database (UPDB), a population-based resource linking electronic health data repositories for the state with the computerized genealogy of the Utah settlers and their descendants. We searched UPDB for significant familial clustering of AD to evaluate the genetic contribution to disease. We compared the Genealogical Index of Familiality (GIF) between AD individuals and randomly selected controls and estimated the Relative Risk (RR) for a range of family relationships. Finally, we identified pedigrees with a significant excess of AD deaths. RESULTS:The GIF analysis showed that pairs of individuals dying from AD were significantly more related than expected. This excess of relatedness was observed for both close and distant relationships. RRs for death from AD among relatives of individuals dying from AD were significantly increased for both close and more distant relatives. Multiple pedigrees had a significant excess of AD deaths. CONCLUSIONS:These data strongly support a genetic contribution to the observed clustering of individuals dying from AD. This report is the first large population-based assessment of the familiality of AD mortality and provides the only reported estimates of relative risk of AD mortality in extended relatives to date. The high-risk pedigrees identified show a true excess of AD mortality (not just multiple cases) and are greater in depth and width than published AD pedigrees. The presence of these high-risk pedigrees strongly supports the possibility of rare predisposition variants not yet identified.

The genealogical imaginary is a subcategory of the imaginary referring to the origin and it comprises a wide range of genealogical myths: fictitious ancestors, whether divine or human, fabulous kinships, invented genealogies, descendancies which are impossible to certify with documents, erroneous interpretations of certain degrees of kinship, real genealogies that have received unexpected interpretations and historiographic clichés grown on more or less attestable genealogies. The case of the Balş family is one of the most interesting: trying to integrate in the political structures of the Austrian and Russian Empire, some members of this old Moldavian family invent a fictitious genealogy that links the French counts of Baux, the Balsa family, a Serbian medieval dynasty and the Balş family, Moldavian boyars.
