Mitchell, Elizabeth Sarah. ""Believe me, I remain ..." : the Mary Greg collection at Manchester city galleries." Thesis, Manchester Metropolitan University, 2018. http://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/620461/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces the history of a collection of domestic objects and amateur crafts given to a museum during the first half of the twentieth century. Using the metaphor of archaeology, it takes an object-centred approach to the investigation of changing relationships over time between a collection of objects, an archive of letters, and the institution in which they are held. Drawing on developments in sensory anthropology, theoretical distinctions between objects and things, and letter-writing as a gendered social practice, it treats this material as both ‘evidence and affect’, using writing and photography to consider sensorial and emotional responses to objects, documents and place alongside the historical data they may yield. It situates this within wider historical and biographical research into private and public collecting during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In so doing, this thesis provides new insight into the histories of collecting and the development of the municipal art gallery in Britain during the interwar period. It evidences the centrality of decorative art to an increasing domestication of the art museum in the aftermath of the First World War, even as modernist art practices prompted the development of the formalist ‘white cube’ aesthetic. It demonstrates the conflicted position of decorative art objects within this developing dynamic, caught between aesthetic and ethnographic criteria of value. It also challenges received knowledge in relation to the gendered history of institutional collecting. Mary Greg is identified as a significant patron of multiple museums, her interests contributing to an expansion of scope in what was considered worthy of museum preservation. The Mary Greg Collection in Manchester is shown to manifest, in microcosm, a history of changing attitudes towards the material culture of the domestic past, from nineteenth century antiquarianism, through an Arts and Crafts sensibility and developments in domestic ethnography, to the early twentieth century theorising of childhood and the interwar handicrafts revival. However, this thesis also demonstrates how formal technologies of record keeping, distinctions between professional and amateur, and developing hierarchies of museological value, as well as social and gendered modes of propriety, all contributed to the obscuring of one woman’s contribution to British museum culture. Bringing the history of the collection up to the present day, this research also considers the ways in which museums incorporate the sedimented layers of their own institutional histories, and how the meaning and value of objects in museums changes over time. Drawing on a Ruskinian notion of ‘voicefulness’, found within the collection’s history, it makes a case for alternative museological criteria of value based on qualities of intimacy, love and curiosity. In so doing, it demonstrates how the legacies of past collecting practices, often difficult to reconcile with contemporary professional concerns, may yet have the potential to yield not just new insights into the past, but new possibilities in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a growing problem worldwide and young people are especially vulnerable. Every day about 1 million people contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and over half of the newly infected are young people aged between 15-24 years. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate knowledge, attitudes and beliefs related to STDs among adolescents at a secondary school in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and to compare the genders regarding these issues. Method: This study was a descriptive and comparative cross-sectional study and a quantitative approach was used. The project was carried out at Nhan Dao Vocational Secondary School in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Two hundred and ten male and female students aged between 15-24 years participated in the study and chose to fill in the questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 31 questions regarding the students’ knowledge, attitude and beliefs of STD. Leininger’s Theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality was provided as theoretical framework. Results: The Vietnamese students at Nhan Dao Vocational School in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, had low knowledge about STDs and the students’ attitudes to and beliefs about STDs showed that there exists a lot of misconceptions about the subject. The study did not show any major differences between the genders regarding knowledge, attitude or beliefs. Conclusions: Further research about young people’s practice needs to be performed in order to receive a wider perspective on young Vietnamese people’s knowledge, attitudes and beliefs. It is also important in order to be able to draw conclusions concerning whether knowledge and attitudes are related to sexual practice.Sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar (STD) är ett växande problem världen över och ungdomar är särskilt utsatta. Varje dag smittas ca 1 miljon personer av en sexuellt överförbar sjukdom (STD) och över hälften av de smittade är ungdomar mellan 15-24 år. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka kunskaper, attityder och övertygelser relaterade till sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar bland ungdomar på en gymnasieskola i Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, och att jämföra könen i dessa frågor. Metod: Denna studie var en beskrivande, jämförande tvärsnittsstudie med kvantitativ metod. Projektet genomfördes på Nhan Dao Vocational Secondary School i Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Tvåhundra tio manliga och kvinnliga studenter i åldern 15-24 år deltog i studien och valde att fylla i frågeformuläret. Frågeformuläret bestod av 31 frågor om elevernas kunskaper, attityder och övertygelser om STD. Som teoretisk referensram användes Leiningers teori om mångfald och universalitet i kulturrelaterad omsorg. Resultat: De vietnamesiska studenterna hade bristande kunskap om sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar och elevernas attityd till och övertygelser om sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar visade att det finns många missuppfattningar om ämnet. Studien visade inte några större skillnader mellan könen när det gäller kunskap, attityd eller övertygelse. Slutsats: Ytterligare forskning om ungdomars sexuella vanor behöver utövas för att få ett vidare perspektiv på vietnamesiska ungdomars kunskaper, attityder och övertygelser. Det är också viktigt för att kunna dra slutsatser om huruvida kunskap och attityder är relaterade till det sexuella utövandet.

Full textAbstract:
Le théâtre symboliste, au tournant des dix-neuf et vingtième siècles en France et en Belgique, a souvent été considéré comme un théâtre de réaction, dont l'idéalisme interdisait toute connexion avec les réalités sociale, politique et idéologique de son époque. En analysant le positionnement des artistes symbolistes à l'égard de leur temps à l'aide du principe utopique, plus particulièrement pendant la décennie 1890-1900, il est possible d'y déceler un discours idéologique critique sur le contemporain des auteurs. Déçus par la Troisième République en mal d'idéal et de représentation, sceptiques quant à sa capacité à appliquer les principes de Liberté, d'Egalité et de Fraternité, les artistes symbolistes défendent les libertés de l'individu d'exception (artiste ou héroïque) contre l'égalitarisme républicain jugé illusoire, dans une perspective à la fois anarchiste, antilibérale et réactionnaire. Ils expriment la nécessité de refonder une communauté civique par la fête théâtrale, dans une conception mystique des modalités et des fonctions de l'art investi d’une fonction sociale essentielle (première partie). La représentation théâtrale de l'individu d'exception engagé dans un processus révolutionnaire instaure une dialectique féconde entre mythe, histoire et utopie, qui permet de dégager, dans la fiction théâtrale, les différentes alternatives symbolistes opposées à la société de leur temps (deuxième partie). Les dramaturgies de l'âme et du sujet constituent le point d'aboutissement du projet symboliste, la représentation du sujet servant à la fédération émotionnelle d'une communauté théâtrale idéale, aboutissant à la construction d'une véritable utopie théâtrale (troisième partie)Late 19th-early 20th century symbolist drama in France and Belgium has often been deemed reactionary as the idealism it conveyed was at odds with the social, political and ideological realities of its time. The Utopian principle helps understand how symbolist artists relate to and prove ideologically critical of their epoch – especially during the 1890-1900 decade. Such artists feel frustrated with the ideal- and representation-deprived Third Republic and sceptical about its ability to enforce the Liberty, Equality and Fraternity principles; they thus favour the liberties of exceptional individuals, including artists and heroic ones, over the illusory-seeming egalitarianism of the Republic which they question from an anarchistic, anti-liberal and reactionary standpoint. Their mystical approach to the form and role of socially irreplaceable art leads them to claim the necessity for theatrical feasts to weave a new civic communal fabric (first part). The theatrical representation of exceptional individuals who have embraced revolutionary methods introduces creative dialectics involving myths, history and Utopias which allow theatrical fiction to stage the range of the symbolists' alternatives to their epoch (second part). Theatrical art dealing with the soul or the subject is the ultimate goal of the symbolist artistic project as the representation of the subject creates emotional bonds within an ideal theatrical community which eventually leads to the creation of a genuine dramatic Utopia (third part)

Previous issue date: 2010-11-05This thesis examines the relationships between advertising and urban living in the city of Belem, in the period known historically as belle epoque, between the years 1870 and 1912. From the analysis of advertising campaigns, the study focus on the construction of historical representations of the city of Belem of Para, and the evolution of advertising activity in this period. Reflecting on the representations constructed by the look of propaganda and publicity about the city of Belem, conveyed in advertisements for newspapers, almanacs and commemorative albums of the time, sought help to systematize the history of advertising activity between the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century in the Paris of the Tropics . Call belle epoque Amazon depicts the euphoria and the triumph of bourgeois society of the time over a period of effervescence economic, material and technological, from the extraction and marketing of rubber, a fact that has generated a cultural climate, intellectual and artistic which translated into new ways of think and live the life of the city of Belem. This study discusses between the years 1870 and 1912 the role and importance of advertising in this context
Esta tese analisa as relações entre a publicidade e o viver urbano na cidade de Belém, no período conhecido historicamente como belle époque, entre os anos de 1870 e 1912. A partir da análise de peças publicitárias, o estudo tem como foco a construção histórica de representações sobre a cidade de Belém do Pará, e a evolução da atividade publicitária nesse período. Ao refletir sobre as representações construídas pelo olhar da propaganda e da publicidade sobre a cidade de Belém, veiculadas nas mensagens publicitárias de jornais, almanaques e álbuns comemorativos da época, busca contribuir para a sistematização da história da atividade publicitária entre o final do século XIX e início do século XX na Paris dos Trópicos . A chamada belle époque amazônica retrata a euforia e o triunfo da sociedade burguesa da época num período de efervescência econômica, material e tecnológica, proveniente da extração e comercialização da borracha; fato que gerou um clima cultural, intelectual e artístico, que se traduziu em novos modos de pensar e viver o cotidiano da cidade de Belém. Este estudo discute, entre os anos de 1870 e 1912, o papel e a importância da publicidade nesse contexto

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail se propose d’interroger le sujet pris sous le joug des discours de la post-modernité, à partir de ce que nous repérons comme la désacralisation de la croyance mythique. Ce remodelage symbolique fait basculer le lien social vers une société de la technique, une techni-cité, gouvernée par de nouvelles puissances économiques GAFAtisantes. Le sujet contemporain s’assujetti ainsi aux injonctions a-surmoïques d’un Père 2.0 qui le pousse toujours davantage dans la dégringolade subjective d’une jouissance absolue et massifère. Cette nouvelle organisation sociale fait alors éclore de nouvelles représentations de la folie. C’est ce qui nous pousse à réinterroger cette notion qui éclaire l’ensemble de notre propos. La clinique contemporaine témoigne de quelques formes de résistances du sujet. Celui-ci, ayant besoin de renouveler son rapport à l’Autre, se tourne vers de nouvelles formes de spiritualités qu’il prélève dans d’autres cultures. Il espère à partir de la mise en pratiques de ces traditions pouvoir extraire un savoir sur sa propre condition. Ce faisant, il technicise ces croyances importées qui aussitôt arrachées à leur socle symbolique virent à l’imaginaire et s’assignent à la logique capitaliste. Les nouvelles pratiques qui en émergent relèvent alors d’une post-traditionnalité qui offre un compromis au sujet cherchant à se renouveler subjectivement.La post-modernité ne connaissant aucune frontière, nous mettrons ces questions en jeu dans d’autres sociétés, notamment en Amazonie, au Sénégal et au Vanuatu. Nous constaterons que la folie demeure intimement liée au désordre social et que la contamination du discours économico-techno-scientifique contemporains produit des effets au-delà de la culture occidentaleThis research proposes to question the subject taken under the yoke of the discourses of the post-modernity, from what we see as the desecration of mythic belief. This symbolic remodeling shifts the social link towards a society of technology, a “techni-cité”, governed by new « GAFA » economic powers. The contemporary subject is thus subject to the a-parametric injunctions of a Father 2.0 which pushes him ever further into the subjective tumble of an absolute and massive enjoyment and « massifere ». This new social organization then gives rise to new representations of madness. This is what drives us to re-examine this notion that sheds light on our whole subject. This new social organization then gives rise to new representations of madness. This is what drives us to re-examine this notion that sheds light on our whole subject.The contemporary clinic shows some forms of resistance of the subject. The latter, needing to renew his relationship with the Other, turns to new forms of spirituality that he takes from other cultures .He hopes from the putting into practice of these traditions to be able to extract knowledge about his own condition. In doing so he technicizes these imported beliefs, which are immediately torn from their symbolic base, turn to the imaginary and take up capitalist logic. The new practices that emerge from it are part of a post-traditionalism that offers a compromise to the subject that seeks to renew itself subjectively.Since post-modernity knows no boundaries, we will put these issues at stake in other societies, particularly in the Amazon, Senegal and Vanuatu. We will find that madness is closely linked to social disorder and that the contamination of contemporary economic-techno-scientific discourses produces effects beyond occidental culture

Grabli, Charlotte. "L’urbanité sonore : auditeurs, circulations musicales et imaginaires afro-atlantiques entre la cité de Léopoldville et Sophiatown de 1930 à 1960." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019EHES0138.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse examine les rapports entre musique et politique dans l’espace de circulations musicales s’étendant entre Sophiatown, à Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud, et la « cité indigène » de Léopoldville (aujourd’hui Kinshasa), au Congo belge, de 1930 à 1960. L’étude envisage à la fois la fabrique musicale de ces quartiers ségrégués – l’usage des nouvelles technologies d’écoute, l’appropriation des styles afro-atlantiques, la profusion des fêtes et la vie des bars – et la formation de l’espace transcolonial de la musique congolaise moderne, mieux connue sous le nom de « rumba congolaise », à l’ère de la radio. Bien que souvent occulté, le développement précoce de l’industrie musicale sud-africaine joua un rôle important dans l’émergence et la mobilité des premières célébrités médiatiques congolaises qui parcouraient les routes transimpériales entre Léopoldville, Elisabethville (Lubumbashi), Nairobi et Johannesburg. Étudiés conjointement, l’ancrage et le déploiement de ce que nous appelons l’« urbanité sonore » permettent d’éclairer la place des célébrités et chansons transcoloniales dans l’imaginaire politique des auditeurs africains. Ces phénomènes témoignent également des nouvelles possibilités d'émancipation que l'économie des plaisirs offraient aux catégories les plus marginalisées de la ville coloniale, telles que les « femmes libres » et/ou membres des sociétés d'élégance.A la cité de Léopoldville, comme à Sophiatown, auditeurs, danseurs et musiciens contestaient la définition coloniale de l’urbanité alors que le gouvernement monopolisait la définition de « la ville », en même temps qu’il en conditionnait l’accès, symbolique et concret. Jusqu’au lendemain de l’Indépendance du Congo en 1960, la scène musicale de la cité s’établit comme le principal espace d’expression politique et d’affirmation de la place du Congo moderne dans l’Atlantique noir.L’étude considère ainsi la musique dans la continuité de l’écologie sonore de la ville afin d’« écrire le monde depuis une métropole africaine ». Il ne s’agit pas seulement de penser la musique en contexte, mais aussi comme contexte, en tant que paysage, en l’étendant au-delà de la performance pour inclure les différents jeux d’échelle qui façonnaient les mondes musicaux. Pour comprendre la dimension politique des échanges afro-atlantiques impliqués dans la création de la rumba congolaise – un style africain né de l’écoute des musiques afro-cubaines –, il importe de prendre en compte le contexte de globalisation des modes d’écoute et de l’ethnicité. A une époque où le nationalisme racialisé des États-Unis façonnait la compréhension du jazz, comment repenser l’opposition d’une « Afrique latine » à une « Afrique du jazz », dont les pôles respectifs se situeraient à Johannesburg et Léopoldville ? Cette thèse cherche à déconstruire ces représentations tout en observant la puissance d’agir de la musique noire – « sa réalité et son inexistence » – en fonction des contextes, des acteurs et des lieuxThis thesis studies connections between music and politics within the space of music circulation stretching from Sophiatown, in Johannesburg, South Africa, to the cité (the “native quarters”) of Léopoldville (today Kinshasa), in the Belgian Congo, from 1930 to 1960. This study considers the music making of these segregated areas – the uses of new sound technologies, the appropriation of Afro-Atlantic styles, the profusion of festivities and nightlife – as well as the formation of the trans-colonial space of modern Congolese music—better known as “Congolese rumba”—in the age of radio. Although often overlooked, the early development of the South African record industry played an important role in the making and mobility of the first Congolese media celebrities who circulated across the trans-imperial roads between Léopoldville, Elisabethville (Lubumbashi), Nairobi and Johannesburg. Studied together, the grounding and the deployment of what I call “sonic urbanity” highlight the place of trans-colonial celebrities and songs in the political imaginary of African listeners. These phenomena also show how the economy of pleasure offered new possibilities of emancipation to the most marginalized categories such as the "free women" and members of women’s fashion associations.Both in the cité of Léopoldville and in Sophiatown, listeners, dancers and musicians challenged ideas of black exclusion to urbanity enforced by the government that conditioned symbolic and material access to “the city”. Until the day after independence in 1960, the musical scene represented the main space for political expression in the modern Congo, allowing it to claim its place in the Black Atlantic.This thesis thus conceptualizes music as part of the city’s ecology of sound in an attempt to “write the world from the African metropolis”. It does not merely think of music in context but also regards it as context and soundscape, extending it beyond performance by including the different “scale games” that shaped musical worlds. Understanding the political dimension of the AfroAtlantic exchanges involved in the creation of Congolese rumba – an African style born out of listening to Afro-Cuban music – requires a consideration of the globalisation of ways of listening and ethnicity. How can we rethink the opposition of a “Latin Africa” to an “Africa of jazz”, whose poles would be located respectively in Léopoldville and Johannesburg, at the moment when U.S. racialized nationalism shaped understandings of jazz? This thesis seeks to both deconstruct these representations and examine the power of black music to act—its “reality and non-existence”— depending on contexts, actors and places

Williams, Richmond Paul Bowen. "Towards a strategic transcultural model of leadership that enhances Koinonia in urban Southern Africa." Thesis, Full-text available online as a .pdf file, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/2263/23874.
Full textAbstract:
The research conducted was done on the basis of providing an initial platform or starting point for insight and discussion into what a strategic transcultural model of leadership might look like which was relevant to the early 21st Century Christian context in the cities of Southern Africa. A strategic transcultural leader is essentially a transformational leader who exhibits an ability beyond the norm in being able to cross socio-political barriers and thus inspiring the multicultural dynamic, while also honouring the individual cultures represented. In order to study strategic transcultural leadership models a strong leadership angle was taken, which employed investigating six leaders, three political and three Christian as to the structures, styles, values, transcultural abilities and Christian/political beliefs and/or philosophies they employed. The thesis poses the problem of urban unrest in the cities of Southern Africa. The problem of an influx into the cities, of the many different ethnicities and tribes from throughout Southern Africa and the pressures this has caused is briefly alluded to. This problem has been further exacerbated in South Africa by the arrival of many peoples from throughout Africa, south of the Sahara seeking their fortune without having to leave the African Subcontinent, and in Zimbabwe by the political policies of the Zimbabwean government, over land and in clearing away her unapproved urban high-density housing, and her informal business and white farming sectors of the economy. With these issues in mind, there is a need for strategic transcultural leadership to address these and other issues of unrest. The examples of Mandela and De Klerk as transformational leaders, inspire hope, that the vacuum of strategic transcultural leadership seen in Africa at large and specifically in relation to Southern Africa can be met, as is noted by the progress made in recent years in the arena of transformational leadership which the Group of eight and the United Nations and others allude to. While this is true, there are still problems in relation to the political decision-making within South African, as seen by Mbeki’s stance in the past on HIV-AIDS, and Zimbabwe’s woes. The stage is set from a missiological and historical perspective by looking at multicultural models of leadership in the Early Church with specific reference to Paul and the Antiochan model he used as a prototype. The Jerusalem Church is mentioned as a bi-cultural model, which has significant use outside of large urban environs. However it was the Pauline-Antiochan model that provided a platform, in the later use of a synthetic-semiotic model, to deduce or synthesis a transcultural model. Paul’s model of leadership was analysed specifically in relation to the five elements already noted (structures, styles, etc.) and is particularly useful as a model as Paul himself provides firstly an insight into a man of bi-cultural heritage yet someone who was empire-conscious. Paul was able to uphold both the cultural distinctive or uniqueness of both the Greek and Jew (noting Paul’s use of both Hebraic and Hellenistic styles of the diatribe for example) as well as the universal, in that he was empire-conscious which played into his Kingdom perspective. Secondly he provides a reasonable grounds for understanding that if the belief system of the individual is changed on one of its most fundamental levels – allegiance – then given time the macro-cultural identity of a nation, even empire can be significantly altered. He was able to do this primarily because the Graeco-Roman Empire had a common linguafranca in Greek, and the Christian community – as the followers of the Way became known as – had an ethos of reconciliation, enhancing the multicultural and one also of inclusivity (for example a worship style that encompasses both Jewish and local expressions) enhancing the particular. In declaring the One God of Israel and Jesus Christ – Messiah, as the only true Kyrios, Paul replaced the Emperor and the whole Greek pantheon of the Gods with the one true God and Father of us all, and his one and only Son.< /p> The three political leaders – Moshoeshoe, Smuts and Mandela – and the three Christian leaders – Mutendi, Cassidy and Tutu – are investigated in terms of the five elements (structures, styles, values etc.) that comprise the model of leadership. Each of these leaders in turn made a lasting contribution to national and/or tribal change. After looking at the six leadership models an initial conceptual framework for a multicultural model of leadership is outlined. However, in order to bring significant current postmodern/neo-African/tribal/multicultural paradigms of thought and the associated socio-political forces and philosophies of the day, to bear on the evolving model, these were specifically highlighted and brought into the process of synthesizing a model. Lastly once all these inputs are brought together in a tabulated framework, and the evolving multicultural model is screened against three known working scenarios, and further synthesized such that the refined model was then called a strategic transcultural model of leadership. Before this can be achieved however, various North American multicultural models posited were looked at in a literary review, which served to reinforce the understanding of the need to balance the universal and the particular aspects of culture. In refining a strategic transcultural model, the thesis next attempted to address the problem of developing a national macro-cultural identity. A strict delineation in a postmodern era between Church and State was considered to be not only unnecessary but a modern myth, also noting that the State mirrors the Church in many of the problems of community and identity. Thus the meso-level of the Church provided key insights into the macro-level of the State. An argument all along was posed for not just orchestrating a macro-culture based on multiculturalism, nor in just upholding the micro-cultural individual identities at the expense of participation in a national framework and beyond this the global village, but an argument was made for a both/and scenario. In doing this the thesis sought to address both the macro-cultural and individual cultural identities at every level and in every element of the model of leadership. The plausibility of the argument for today was based on the prevalence of a language of choice – in most cases English – and an ethos of reconciliation and inclusivity for which Madiba and Tutu among others have set the standard. A final picture of a community based on both was posited for reflection, a picture that John paints where the great heavenly host (mirroring the macro-level of the Kingdom) is contrasted with the micro-level of a people made up “from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Rev 5:9).Thesis (PhD (Science of Religion and Missiology))--University of Pretoria, 2007.

Sustainable Development (SD), Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) and Climate Change (CC) are three synergistic areas that present tremendous challenges for developing countries in the 21st century. Consequently, this thesis presents current perspectives, within the premise of developing countries, on the concepts of Sustainable Development (SD) and Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) and their inter-relationship with Climate Change in an effort to establish a conceptual framework for identifying a core group of headline indicators that can suitably highlight major urban sustainability and climate change vulnerability issues. A group of twelve (12) highly integrative indicators were chosen using the knowledge of a small group of twenty (20) Belizean and International experts and an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The indicators were then applied in case study of Belize City, the largest urban area in Belize. Results indicate that there is a marked absence of the inclusion of urban issues especially with reference to Belize City in sustainability discourse in the country. Belize City like the cities of many other developing countries faces issues of urban poverty and poor housing conditions and is significantly exposed to storm, hurricane and flood impact. Ensuring that development within the city is undertaken within a sustainability framework and in a planned manner could both address existing urban SD issues as well as considerably reduce vulnerability and increase adaptive and mitigative capacity for climate change. However, improvements to governance especially at the local level with particular emphasis on the increasing citizen participation in decision-making could play a key role in formulating and progressing towards a collective vision of sustainability for the city.

Solid waste management has become a major priority practice for many developing countries in order to secure the public health and environment while promoting justifiable economic and social development. In Belize, waste management is a multidimensional problem that has been aggravated by rapid urbanization and population growth rate. Therefore, the state environmental agencies are continuously faced with an increasing amount of solid wastes to handle. The goal of solid waste management is to minimize waste generation in the production process through the implementation of more appropriate collection systems for each situation and the employment of recovery and recycling, treatment, and refuse disposal processes and technologies. This paper highlights the need of constructing adequate sanitary landfill site in Belize City. Currently in Belize, there is an initiative to build a central sanitary landfill, and try to close all existing open-dump facilities for refuse disposal. The refuse open-dump method may have serious danger to public health with its breeding of terrible flies and rats, which can transmit lots of diseases. The uncontrolled leachate from the open-dump refuse site may also pollute surface and ground waters. This study aims at assessing the establishment of Fukuoka semi-aerobic landfill site with the comparison of open-dump sites in the measure of a benefit-cost analysis. The Fukuoka landfill site will service five major districts including San Pedro Town, Caye Caulker, Belize City, San Ignacio and Santa Elena. The municipal solid wastes generated from these five districts are estimated in this study to be 45,758 tons per year (125 tons per day) in 2030. The Fukuoka landfill site, which designed capacity is 125 tons/day, is assessed by benefit-costs analysis with three factors: the decreased costs of mortality and morbidity due to the reduction of sulphur dioxide from spontaneous burning and the lead emissions from open-dump sites and land use recycling. The results showed that, according to the designed conditions and economic assumption, the total construction cost of the Fukuoka sanitary landfill is US$4,312,895, and the total operation costs for 20-year duration is US$18,618,912. However, the total benefit is estimated to be US$US$142,879,624 that much surpasses the construction costs plus operation expenses. This study has estimated that there will have a benefit of US$131,113,792 getting from decreasing the damage costs of mortality and morbidity, that is because of the elimination of sulphur dioxide from spontaneous burning as well as the reduction of lead emissions from open-dump sites. The other benefit could be from restoring closed open-dump sites, and the restored land value to be US$11,765,832. According to the analysis with cash-flow sheet, the financial benefit of the Fukuoka landfill investment for 20-year duration is that the net present value (NPV) is US $ 2,241,594 and internal rate of return (IRR) is 19%.

"Performing identity in an ancient Maya city: The archaeology of houses, health and social differentiation at the site of Baking Pot, Belize." Tulane University, 2006.
Find full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the construction of social identity through the archaeological investigation of houses in the ancient community of Baking Pot, a medium-sized center located in the Belize Valley. Excavations in five residential structures form the basis of a holistic analysis of Late and Terminal Classic domestic material remains. Analyses of architecture, ritual and refuse deposits, ceramics, lithics and faunal materials are presented with the goal of creating an internal framework of identity construction, focusing on evidence of cohesiveness and differentiation in domestic activities. Osteological analysis of human remains from Baking Pot, and stable isotopic analysis of individuals from sites throughout the Belize River Valley, integrate data on health and diet into interpretations of social identity Constructions of identity among house groups focus on cohesiveness within the Baking Pot community, but social differentiation can also be identified. The residents of Baking Pot possessed and used a set of material remains that show more internal similarity than in larger and more differentiated lowland communities. Health and diet also show little differentiation, confirming similar strategies in the daily lives of residents throughout the valley. Location of houses, architectural elaboration, and use of high-quality construction materials were, in contrast, found to reliably differentiate house groups. Ceramic and lithic samples from the residences have much in common, including the artifact types that form the foundation of each industry. Imported items, painted ceramics, and formal chipped stone tools are not differentially distributed among residences. Ceramic assemblage size, glyphic and figural decoration on ceramics, concentration of painted ceramic types, chert quality, and lithic artifacts such as grooved stones and incised limestone spheres do, however, differentiate among houses. The lithic sample from the most elaborated residence demonstrates less involvement with agricultural activities for the members of this house group. Ritual activities, health, and dietary data do not show variation that relates to socioeconomic differentiation. This dissertation stresses the importance of seeking indicators of differentiation within residential assemblages, rather than relying on external models of socioeconomic status to interpret domestic behaviors and interactionsacase@tulane.edu

The utilitarian point of view of faith is the main theme of this research. The belief of Baosheng Emperor began to form in the Song Dynasty. It was originally spread in the area of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. It was the concept of the local patron saint. When the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty moved to Taiwan with the ancestors, the belief of the Baosheng Emperor also came to Taiwan. Because of the development of Taiwan at that time featured the south , so the belief of the Baosheng Emperor is mainly spread in the south, which is mostly in Tainan. Because of the relationship between the secondary immigrants , the belief of the Baosheng Emperor also entered the Annan District and became the belief feature of this area. In terms of historical evolution, the Daoguang three years (AD 1823), a storm in Tainan was the starting point for discussion. This is also an important year for the formation of the Taijiang floating land. When the land in Annan District was formed around Taijiang, the residents of the village began to move and reclaim the area , and these secondary immigrants also brought in the belief and culture of the original Baosheng Emperor , and the Annan District became the Da Dao Gong Ku . The characteristic of the belief in Annan District is the belief of Baosheng Emperor. Therefore, By actual visit to all the main points and the temple of Baosheng Emperor in Annan District. This paper calculates the number and density of the temples of Baosheng Emperor in Annan District, which explains and confirms the true name of the Da Dao Gong Ku of the Annan District. This paper tries to make readers understand the process of building the temple, the source of the division of the spirit, local legends, and the unique activities of the ancestors and the beliefs of the Baosheng Emperor in Annan District. In terms of humanities, the nostalgia of the second immigrants is the main reason for constructing the beliefs of the Da Dao Gong Ku . In terms of the influence of the legend, it discusses the legend of the life of the Baosheng Emperor, and finally focuses on the local legends of Annan District. As for the function of the gods and the utilitarian point of view of the believers,the paper focuses on the reclamation background of the past, the beliefs established for the medical needs of the Baosheng Emperor , as well as the magical medical legends about the Baosheng Emperor , and the function of the god and the value of the drug swab , in order to help readers understand the reasons for the loyalty of the Baoan Emperor in Annan District .

This treatises is mainly on the religion of "Wang-Yie", including the differences Between the religion of "Wang-Yie" and the ceremony about "Wang Boat." First, this region will be ivided into two parts-the country and city. Then, I will classify the religion of "Wang-Yie" and track their resouces and development. As to the "Wang-Yie Temples" in Tainan, I will portray their historic distribution according to all kinds of researches and records and compare the differences between the country and the city. The firsthand investigation in the past three years and the fact what we have already known will also be mutual verified. Besides, I will make every step of procedure into a clear list in order to get to the bottom of the details of every activity. Among them, I will take the "seven dynasties in Saint Shwin Tiang Dai Temple in Yun Kan Da Wan in year 2000" as our example. And I will raise my observation of the interaction between every local temple which took place after the restoration of Taiwan. The last theme is the investigation on the religion and ceremonies of "Wang Boat" in the city and compare it to those in the country. We know there are various kinds of "Wang-Yie" besides what we have know such as "the god of plague" 、"the ghost of hatred" and "Jeng King" by the classification of the religion of "Wang-Yie." The "Wang-Yie" are including "Specific Wang-Yie" 、" 5 blessing emperors" 、"Wang-Yie of 5 palaces" 、"General Wang-Yie" "Saint King Wang-Yie" "Respectful Wang-Yie" "Collective Wang-Yie" "Wang-Yie of nature" "Wang-Yie-Di-Hau" "Wang-Yie of imperor" and some "Wang-Yie waiting for promotion." We can see clearly that the religion of "Wang-Yie of navigation"、the "Wang-Yie of frontiersman"、"ancestors" and the "Wang-Yie of sages and the virtuous" are more widespread in the city. While the religion of "Wang-Yie of nature" such as the spirits of trees and the "Wang-Yie waiting for promotion" who was a soldier before his death is more popular in the country. It may claim that the religion in the country is more primitive than that in the city. Besides, the biggest difference is lying on the "Wang-Yie of 5 palaces." I think it is because the country people came from the different places and they want to seek a mutual spiritual support. According to the research within three years, the activity of the "Chiau Ceremony" is very surprising. But although the ceremony about "Wang Boat" is very popular in Tainan, the number of the activities of "Wang-Chiau"(19) is still far less that it of the "Chin-Chiau"(44). It is a myth "Wun-Chiau is more popular in south Taiwan while Chin-Chiau is more popular in north Taiwan ." In fact, "Chin-Chiau" is the mainly religious activity in whole Taiwan. Additionally, not every "Wang-Yie temple" will hold the ceremony of "Wang-Chiau" but there''re more temples hold the ceremony of "Chin-Chiau." And there''re seven out of nineteen "Wang-Chiau" don''t include "the god of plague." It displays that "Wang-Chiau" is not a monopoly of ""the god of plague temple." The distribution of the "wang-chiau" is the last to be mentioned. Besides the bank of the sea, there''re also some records about the "Wang-Chiau" in the hinterland. The above are all through the 3-year-visit and found to be different with what we have already known. Finally, there’re many remarkable differences between the religion of “Wang-Boat” in the countryside and it in the city. The number of it in the country is far more than it in the city. There’s only one altar in the city while there’re 18 in the country during the past 3 years. In the property of the “Kung Temple”, there are mainly “Chung-Toe Kung Temple” and "Chung Kung Temple” in the country while there are mainly “Jieu-Toe Temple” and “private altar” in the city. About the scale of the ceremony, there are many compounded “5 Chau” or even “7 Cheu” grand ceremony of “Wang-Chiau” in the country while there are more “3 Chau” and few simple ceremonies in the city. As to the gods, they are more diversified in the city and the “Shin-Fung” district than in the country. When it comes to the shape of the “Wang-Boat”, there are mostly middle-or- small sized ones in the city even if the paper boat. While there are mostly large sized wood boats in the country. It can be identified that in the country, the scale of the ceremony is much grander and more serious、the model of the “Wang-Boat”is more delicate and the habitants are more enthusiastic at the ceremony. Besides the factor of civilization(sense of remoteness ), the reason may be that the adherents‘ recognition of the “Wang-Fue-Shing-Yi.” Because that the “Wang-Yie” in the “Wang-Chiau” takes the responsibility of “patrol on behalf of the heaven,” and the place he makes his round is the sacred place in the “Chiau.” The ceremony of the “Wang-Chiau” presents that this place is civilized and people’s desire to culture. It is why “Wang-Chiau” is more popular in the country than it in the city.

Students’ learning effectiveness is an issue that every first-line teacher pays attention to. As long as the students can generate their potential, it represents the teacher’s teaching has developed substantial benefits. In other words, students’ learning effectiveness can not only make students’ achievements, but also strengthen teachers’ confidence. Teaching is a process of constant revision, especially for the new teachers. If teachers understand the factors which can improve students’ learning effectiveness, it is possible to create a win-win situation for teachers and students. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the view of teachers of elementary schools on teacher belief, classroom management strategies and students’ learning effectiveness by the method of questionnaire survey. The research results are as follows: 1. In terms of age, the result of some item showed that the agreed proportion of the seniors is higher than that of the younger teachers, including the item “Actively leading students to learn” of the facet of teacher belief, the item “Reviewing and adjusting the class regulations” and “Paying attention to students’ deviant behavior and timely counseling them” of the facet of classroom management strategies, and the item “students are willing to share experiences and opinions” of students’ learning effectiveness. 2. In the survey conducted in accordance with the seniority, the senior teacher’s agreed proportion was higher than that of the junior teachers on the item of “The main task for students is to study well and hand in the homework on time” of teacher belief, “Reviewing and adjusting the class regulations” of classroom management strategies, and “Students are able to complete their homework on time every day”. Because senior teachers have rich teaching experience and have exposed to more teaching sites, they are familiar with various classroom management strategies. Therefore, if senior teachers and junior teachers can communicate with each other frequently, it will help junior teachers improve the students’ learning effectiveness. 3. In the facet of teacher belief, the item “Actively leading students to learn” and “Teaching according to different interests and abilities” had a significant positive correlation with each item of students’ learning effectiveness. It meant that when teacher have a positive attitude towards students, actively lead students to learn, and take the belief of differentiation to conduct teaching, each part of students’ learning effectiveness can be improved. 4. Each item of the facet of classroom management strategies had high positive correlated with the item “The majority of students’ academic performance can meet the teacher’s expectations” of students’ learning effectiveness. It represented that the proper use of classroom management strategies can assist in achieving the students’ academic performance which meets the teacher’s expectations.

“Place” means a certain range of space, which a group of people dwell upon and belong to. It implies not only the social interaction of this group of people, but also the special features and historical interaction…etc. In Taiwanese religions, the belief in “Tutigong” is most closely related to the development of Taiwan, which can be shown by the widely seen “Tuti” temples. But with the development of the economics and the change of the social structure in Taiwan, the belief in “Tutigong” changes. This study investigates the cultural impression of the “Tuti” temples in Chiayi City , formed through time by the social change within the historical context, from three dimensions, namely the spatial distribution of the temples, the styles of the “Tutigong” and temples, and the activities and the organization of worship. Furthermore, the relevance between the social change and the transformation and the change of the belief in “Tuti” is also included.

"Optics and the Culture of Modernity in Guatemala City Since the Liberal Reforms." Thesis, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10388/ETD-2013-09-1249.
Full textAbstract:
In the years after the Liberal Reforms of the 1870s, the capitalization of coffee
production and buttressing of coercive labour regimes in rural Guatemala brought huge amounts of surplus capital to Guatemala City. Individual families—either invested in land or export houses—and the state used this newfound wealth to transform and beautify the capital, effectively inaugurating the modern era in the last decades of the nineteenth century. This dissertation considers the urban experience of modernity in Guatemala City since the 1870s. It argues that until the 1920s and 1930s, modernity in the city was primarily influenced by aesthetic modernism in the form of shopping arcades and department stores with their commodities, sites of bourgeois pleasure and pomp such as the hippodrome and Temple to Minerva, society dances, expositions, and fairs. After this point, the social fallout of economic modernization increasingly defined the experience of urban modernity in Guatemala City. Capitalist development altered the social relations of production in the countryside, precipitating massive urbanization that characterized urban life in the second half of the twentieth century.
My analysis helps to account for shifting perceptions of Guatemala City; regarded during the fin-de-siècle as the “Paris of Central America”—owing to its wide boulevards, dawning consumer culture, and cosmopolitan nature—the capital today is considered one of the most dangerous cities in the Americas. I argue that, since the Liberal Reforms, urban Guatemalans learned to see, act, and think as modern subjects. The idea of the “optics of modernity” is introduced to understand epistemological shifts in perception associated with technological, scientific, religious, social, economic, and cultural changes. The optics of modernity denote both the markers of modernity (such as trains, department stores, and new social types like dandies) and new subject positions that altered the experience of the modern world. With these optics of modernity, I argue that urban Guatemalans learned to acclimatize themselves to living in a modern city.
The culture of modernity during the Guatemalan Belle Époque (roughly from 1892 until 1917) is of particular interest. This dissertation proposes that the economic expansion of the period was frequently punctuated by recessions and depressions as the prices of export agricultural commodities dropped and rebounded on global markets. These economic crises constrained the bourgeoisie’s visions of liberal utopia. A unique cultural phenomenon known as the cultura de esperar (the culture of expecting, hoping, and waiting) is introduced in this work to describe the epistemological predicaments that arose when the hopes and expectations of modernity were stifled by economic gluts. The analysis explores a wide variety of topics from nineteenth-century séance culture, bull fighting in cinema, the modernist avant-garde, and the dawning of consumer culture to the contrast between verticality in urban architecture and the expansion of urban slums.

We conducted a survey with a self-administered questionnaire in 2017 and recovered 420 valid questionnaires. The crucial findings were as follows. 1. Participants expressed moderately high degrees of perceived severity of influenza and perceived benefits of influenza vaccination, as well as moderate degrees of perceived susceptibility of influenza and perceived barriers of influenza vaccination. 2. Participant’s perceived susceptibility of influenza, perceived severity of influenza, perceived benefits of influenza vaccination, self-efficacy of influenza vaccination, and cues to action of influenza vaccination were significantly positively correlated with intention to get influenza vaccination, whereas perceived barriers of influenza vaccination were significantly negatively correlated with intention to get influenza vaccination. 3. The multiple regression analysis results revealed that participants who had gotten influenza vaccination before, had greater perceived benefits of influenza vaccination, had lower perceived barriers of influenza vaccination, and had higher self-efficacy of influenza vaccination were more likely to have greater intention to get influenza vaccination, while these variables accounted for 80% of the variance. Based on the results of this study, we suggest that enhancing the perceived benefits and self-efficacy of influenza vaccination in the public and reducing their perceived barriers of influenza vaccination to increase intention to get influenza vaccination.

Malignant tumor is the head of the top ten leading causes of death in Taiwan, while hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) is top two of ten malignant tumors. In 2010, 7,758 people died of HCC; 4,912 died of chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the main reasons of liver-related diseases. HCV infection is transmitted by exposing to contaminated blood and unsafe sexual relationship. Injection drug users frequently spread HCV through sharing injecting equipment, which make up approximately 80-90% of this population domestically and abroad. Because of substance abuse behavior, drug users have many health problems; however, they do not usually attract much attention. The purpose of this study is to investigate HCV carriers’ health belief, health seek behavior (it means cases’ regular follow-up behavior and willingness to do so), and related factors based on the Health Belief Model. The subjects are HCV carriers with injected drug use in three methadone clinics in Taipei City and New Taipei City. This cross-sectional study utilizes a self-developed structured questionnaire, which includes HCV Knowledge Scale, Injected Drug User Health Belief Scale, Social Support Scale, Health Seeking Behavior Scale, Substance Abuse Behavior Scale, and personal information. The data was collected from October, 2012 to January, 2013. A total of 242 people responded to the questionnaires. Among them, 232 copies were valid. The overall response rate is 95.9%. The results of this study show that the demographic, social-psychological, structural variables and health belief may impact the subjects’ regular follow-up behavior. The predictors of regular follow-up in the past include the age when HCV was diagnosed, acceptance of treatment or not, the number of types of hepatitis symptoms, barriers to action and cues to action. Barriers and cues to action are predictors of the subjects’ willingness to conduct regular follow-up afterwards. In practice, we may not only help decrease barriers to action of this population, but also may increase their cues to action. Barriers to action reveal a significant negative correlation with family and peer social support, health provider social support and the knowledge of HCV; however, cues to action have a positive correlation with them. If we want to decrease their barriers and increase the cues to action, we have to enhance their social support and knowledge. In addition to all of the above, we should encourage regular follow-up behavior of those who have symptoms or are diagnosed with HCV at the age over 51. According to the results, some suggestions are proposed to facilitate policy making on medical prevention. The suggestions include: we should (1) continue providing regular follow-up subsidies for HCV carriers with injected drug use in methadone clinics; (2) offer HCV carriers sufficient information to strengthen their knowledge of HCV; (3) set up patient support group; (4) establish a case management system; (5) plan cases’ clinical pathways of regular follow-up; (6) encourage those who have symptoms or are diagnosed with HCV at the age over 51 to have regular follow-up.
