The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) plays a central role in the protection of cultural, historical, and archaeological heritage worldwide. Membership in UNESCO entails legal and moral obligations, particularly with regard to the safeguarding of cultural property during armed conflict. Israel’s formal withdrawal from UNESCO in 2019 has raised significant concerns among scholars and international observers, especially regarding the consequences of this decision for the preservation of cultural heritage in conflict-affected regions such as Palestine and Syria.

Well folks, it’s the beginning of a new era: after nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release will be Wayland-exclusive! Support for X11 applications will be fully entrusted to Xwayland, and the Plasma X11 session will no longer be included.

For most users, this will have no immediate impact. The vast majority of our users are already using the Wayland session, it’s the default on most distributions, and some of them have already dropped — or are planning to drop — the Plasma X11 session independently of what we decide.

This paper examines the systemic and social implications of the recent liquidation and merger of insolvent banks in Iran, focusing on the case of Ayandeh Bank (formerly TAT Bank, merged into Ayandeh, and now absorbed into Bank Melli). We assess whether this resolution mechanism yields positive outcomes in terms of financial stability, inflation control, depositor protection, and public trust. Our analysis argues that while the merger offers significant benefits, its success depends critically on structural reforms and improved governance within the banking sector.
