Postkolonialismi pealetung post -sovetoloogias: kas paradigmamuutuse künnisel? The Rise of Post-Colonialism in Post-Soviet Studies: Witnessing the Paradigm Change by Epp Annus

“…Studies of colonialism argue that Soviet Union was indeed a colonial enterprise where subordinated nations and ethnicities were exploited in the interests of the central power. Postcolonial Soviet studies would apply a postcolonial critique to the research of the area: this would involve a bricolage analysis of power-relations, mechanisms of desire, the hybridity of the colonial subject, and its traumatic identity; it would shift the focus of research from the politico-historical features to socio-cultural features of the period. …”

The commission of the peace, 1675-1720 by Glassey, L

“…The commission of the peace was thus a means by which changes in central policy, and shifts in central power, were extended into the localities. In a period when Parliamentary and electoral politics, and, to a lesser but still important extent, ministerial politics, became influenced by distinctions of party, it is a reasonable hypothesis that local politics became similarly influenced through the medium of appointments to the local magistracy.…”

تكامل عمل الشبكات الكهربائية التقليدية مع مصادر الطاقة المتجددة by فيصل شعبان, طارق خيربك, سنان رزوق

“…As a result of fast development of electrical power applications, the need to find new ways to produce, store and deliver electricity to the consumer has been directed towards the techniques of generating electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass and other energy sources, Our traditional power grids today face new challenges, including the involvement of renewable energy resources distributed at different points of the network, or what is known as distributed generation, The disadvantages of this shift from central power generation to decentralized generation are voltage instability and changing power flow within the network. …”
