| ARTICLES RELATED TO 1923 - April | | | |  1923 - April: Encyclopedia II - Ustaše - Connections with the Catholic ChurchMain article: Involvement of Croatian Catholic clergy with the Ustasa regime
The Ustaša policies against the Eastern Orthodoxy are called "Uniatism" in some Eastern Orthodox circles. This is a term never used by the Roman Catholic Church, except Vatican condemnation of the idea in 1990[2]. Still it is a, generally pejorative, description of the Catholic Church's efforts to convert large numbers of Orthodox Christians ...

| | | | | 1923 - April: Encyclopedia II - Tsunami - Characteristics Although often referred to as "tidal waves", a tsunami does not look like the popular impression of "a normal wave only much bigger". Instead it looks rather like an endlessly onrushing tide which forces its way around and through any obstacle. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully into the coastal area. The sheer weight of water is enough to pulverise objects in its path, often reducing buildings to their foundations and scouring exposed ground to the bedrock. Large objects such as ships and boulders can be carried severa ...

Having restored the unity of the empire, now overseeing the progress of major governmental reforms and sponsoring the consolidation of the Christian church, Constantine was well aware that Rome had become an unsatisfactory capital for several reasons. Located in central Italy, Rome lay too far from the eastern imperial frontiers, and hence also from the legions and the Imperial courts.Moreover, Rome offered an undesirable playground for disaffected politicians; it also suffered regularly from ...

Whereas Pareto and Durkheim, following Comte, worked in the positivist tradition, Weber created and worked – like Werner Sombart, his friend and then the most famous representative of German sociology – in the antipositivist, idealist and hermeneutic tradition. Those works started the antipositivistic revolution in social sciences, which stressed the difference between the social sciences and natural sciences, especial ...
