Abstract:
This thesis is tripartite. It is at once a search for the universal principles of good architecture, an architect's personal search for what is valuable, and the exploration of some particular ideas in a particular project. The successful thesis joins the universal and the particular and calls into use the rational and the intuitive. The thesis began with an attempt to name some of these universals and from them to distill some "clear and distinct"² ideas about the making of architecture. Together these ideas make a manifesto, not in a positivistic sense but rather as a way of beginning this "creative dialectic" between universal and particular. They are ultimately to help address the issue of significance in architecture.M. Arch.

Pietri, Nicole. "La photographie comme sépulture." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021PA080049.
Abstract:
Depuis le début de l’humanité, l’homme a pris soin de ses morts, tandis que les relations de la Mort à la photographie commencent au milieu du XIXème siècle avec l’invention de la photographie. La Mort suppose un corps mort dont on se doit de prendre soin en lui donnant une sépulture. Telle que nous la concevons, la sépulture est un dépôt intentionnel qui montre, par cet acte, l’attention que l’on porte au mort, qui conserve ainsi sa part d’humanité dans la Mort, c’est-à-dire précisément, ce que la sépulture se devrait de protéger. En proposant d’interroger les relations de la Mort à l’image du mort, à partir de la photographie et à l’aune de la sépulture, le propos de ce travail de recherche ne serait pas tant de savoir ou d’affirmer que la photographie est ou non une sépulture, mais comment la photographie peut interroger la notion même de sépulture. En retour, nous nous demandons, à partir de la sépulture, comment celle-ci serait susceptible d’induire un questionnement vis-à-vis de la photographie. La photographie comme sépulture, suppose de rapprocher la photographie de la sépulture, et d’envisager comment la photographie pourrait répondre à ce que l’on pourrait attendre d’une sépulture. À une autre échelle, nous nous demandons s’il serait possible de voir ce qui relèverait de la sépulture dans la photographie analogique à partir de l’œuvre de Christian Boltanski qui apparaît comme le fil directeur de ce travail de thèse. Parmi tous les artistes photographes qui nourrissent et guident cette réflexion, Boltanski, sans être photographe, a un cheminement artistique qui l’a conduit à se tourner vers la photographie et à réaliser des sépultures, des Monuments funéraires. Il nous offre un éclairage particulier pour aborder à la fois la photographie et la sépulture. C’est en croisant les disciplines, les points de vue, ce qui se voit et ce qui ne se voit pas, ce qui se dit et ce qui se murmure que cette thèse se donne à lire dans un tissage entre implicite et expliciteSince the beginning of mankind, man has been taking care of his dead ones, while the relationship between death and photography began in the middle of the 19th century with the invention of photography. Death supposes a dead body that one takes care of by giving it a burial. As we conceive it, burial is an intentional deposition which shows, by this act, the attention that one draws to the dead one that keeps its humanity in Death. Preservation of humanity is precisely what should be protected through burial. By proposing to question the relationship between Death and the image of the dead one, starting from photography and in the light of burial, the purpose of this research work would not be so much to know or to affirm that photography is or is not a burial, but how photography can question the very notion of burial. In return, we ask ourselves, starting from burial, how burial would be likely to induce a questioning towards the photography. Photography as a burial, supposes to bring photography closer to burial, and to consider how photography could respond to what one could expect from a burial. On a different scale, we question whether it would be possible to see what would be related to the burial in analogue photography from the work of Christian Boltanski which appears as the guiding thread of this thesis. Among all the artist-photographers who feed and guide this reflection, Boltanski, without being a photographer, has an artistic path that led him to turn to photography and create burials, funerary monuments. He offers a particular insight to approach both photography and burial. By crossing disciplines, points of view, what is seen and what is not seen, what is said and what is whispered, this thesis should be read as a weaving between implicit and explicit

Geng, Bowen. "Sacred Groves in Burial Grounds." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/96149.
Abstract:
The thesis starts with the study of a Miao village in China, which is known as the center of the Miao culture. In Miao settlement landscape history, there is one feature that can be found in many cultures. The Fengshui Lin, also known as the Sacred Grove, protects the village. The ancient songs and tales of Miao show that the Fengshui Lin can be seen as the spirits of the ancestors (Wang, X. 2015). Since ancient times, Miao people have a tradition of respect for nature, and Fengshui Lin is the most important landscape element for them. It is not only part of the natural flexible border, but also associated with many social activities.
Sacred groves are created and evolved through human acts and the long span of human history (Jackson J. B. 1980). They play an important role in many different cultures around the world. Sacred groves may reflect the culture of society as settings for specific functions, or serve as objects of worship for people to purify their souls and refresh their spirits.
In burial grounds, there also are sacred groves which could be a place for praying and commemorating. Since sacred groves are seen as spirits of life, it is necessary to think about the relationship between sacred groves and burial grounds.
The thesis focuses on the issue of what is sacred? How to make a grove sacred or create a sacred grove in burial grounds? What kind of scenario for the design? With the inspiration of the Fengshui Lin in Miao village, the project aims to create a sacred space with trees for people who lost their family or friends in local communities. My thesis addressed these questions through a design project for sacred groves in the local parks of Arlington, Virginia. With design criteria derived from case studies and literature review, my goal is to create neighborhood cemeteries in the local parks to bring people closer to life as well as death and to let people get the experience of mortality.Master of Landscape Architecture
In many ancient societies, sacred groves were an essential aspect of life. In some cases, these groves encompass a large territory; in other cases they may be a few trees. These groves originated in the time following the introduction of agriculture. When societies evolving, sacred groves became not a piece of nature, but an institution that depending on custom, agriculture, and even the cycles of life. Sacred groves are a legacy for everyone. These sacred groves may reflect the culture of society, they are not merely symbols but dynamic and complex landscapes created as settings for specific functions. These sacred groves serve not only as totems of worship, but as moments or places where people purify their souls. Sacred groves surrounding or covering burial grounds have existed widely throughout the world (Tuan, Y. 1977). In many burial sites, sacred groves dominate the landscape. They serve the spiritual needs of the living as well as keep alive memories of the dead. This thesis will discuss the method to make a grove sacred and develop a landscape to provide an opportunity for people to get a sense of their life and culture. The concept is to reinstate the connection between burial grounds and neighborhoods by creating neighborhood cemeteries in the local parks of Arlington, Virginia. Through thoughtful site selection and design, sacred groves can hold precious information about the history of communities for generations.

Win, Kyaw Zaw. "A history of the Burma Socialist Party (1930-1964)." School of History and Politics - Faculty of Arts, 2008. http://ro.uow.edu.au/theses/106.
Abstract:
This dissertation seeks to demonstrate the legacy and historical significance of the Burma Socialist Party (BSP), and so, to solve major puzzles for scholars of Burmese history, particularly with regard to how the links between civilian and military groups in politics in Burma came about. Thus, this thesis addresses a major gap in the current historical literature, which has tended to underplay or ignore the role of the BSP. In so doing this work draws a wide range of interviews, archives and hitherto unused research sources, as well as the historical analyses in English and Burmese contribute. The thesis begins by examining the historical and cultural antecedents of the BSP. The party was formed as a major element of Burma’s independence movement, which developed from a core group of nationalist leaders. Among these leaders were founders and key members of the future BSP. The Peoples’ Revolutionary Party (PRP), the prewar version of the BSP, emerged in the struggle for independence and played a key role in that struggle as a core group around which the future state was founded. After the War, the BSP came out as separate party to compete with the Communist Party of Burma (CPB). The Tatmadaw played a key role in this process, and thus the process itself was a crucial turning point in Burma’s history. The BSP was the main political party after Burma’s independence in 1948. This situation can be seen through looking at the way the Anti-Fascist Peoples’ Freedom League (AFPFL) operated as the umbrella of the BSP. The BSP shaped domestic and foreign policies in the period 1948-58, and provided the basis of various forms of government, even at times of internal division. It was in these circumstances that the military aspect of Burmese politics became important. Careful examination of the sources dealing with the major political influences of the post-independence period shows that the Burmese military took their ideas from the BSP and launched their bid for power by taking over from the BSP.

Abstract:
(Chadic), which exhibits a number of asymmetries: Grammatical focus marking is obligatory only with focused subjects, where focus is marked by the particle án following the subject. Focused subjects remain in situ and the complement of án is a regular VP. With nonsubject foci, án appears in a cleft-structure between the fronted focus constituent and a relative clause. We present a semantically unified analysis of focus marking in Bura that treats the particle as a focusmarking copula in T that takes a property-denoting expression (the
background) and an individual-denoting expression (the focus) as arguments. The article also investigates the realization of predicate and polarity focus, which are almost never marked. The upshot of the discussion is that Bura shares many characteristic traits of focus marking with other Chadic languages, but it crucially differs in exhibiting a structural difference in the marking of focus on subjects and non-subject constituents.

Abstract:
The purpose of the essay is to investigate whether the principles formulated by Peter Ackerman and Christopher Kruegler, concerning strategic non-violent conflicts, can serve a purpose when analyzing improvised non-violent conflicts. The principles are derived from factors that have been prominent in earlier successful improvised non-violent conflicts.
The essay is based on two research questions; if the factors included in the principles formulated by Ackerman and Kruegler, exist in the two cases that this study investigates, and if those principles offer a satisfactory explanation for the outcome of an improvised non-violent conflict.
To answer the questions the study uses a comparative method, where the improvised non-violent conflict of 2004 in Ukraine is compared to the improvised non-violent conflict of 1988 in Burma.
The answer to the first question shows that the factors contained in the principles previously mentioned, exists in both cases. The answer to the second question is more uncertain, as there seems to be doubts on whether the case of Ukraine really was completely improvised. Another reason for caution is that the factors contained in the principles, only consider actions made by non-violent actors, and not by opponents or third parties. Thus the risks of missing vital explanatory factors are substantial.

Holloway, James Edward. "Charcoal burial in early medieval England." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2009. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/252132.
Abstract:
Until relatively recently, archaeologists and historians have tended to ignore the burial practice of the late Anglo-Saxon period (c. AD 800-1100) in favour of other aspects of the archaeology of this period, or of the burial practice of earlier periods, assuming that burial in this period is uniform and well-understood. In fact, the late Anglo-Saxon period shows a great deal of diversity in burial practice. One of these diverse forms of burial is so-called “charcoal burial”, in which the body or coffin is laid on or under a layer of wood charcoal. This thesis examines the possible symbolic associations of charcoal burial, as well as how those associations might have been used to convey issues of status, identity, group membership or religious belief. Data presented includes the historical context of sites with charcoal burials, as well as their chronology, distribution and demographic characteristics. The manufacture and use of charcoal in the late Anglo-Saxon period is also studied, as are examples of similar burial rites from outside England. In addition to archaeological data, textual sources provide information on the symbolic context in which this burial rite occurred, suggesting that charcoal burial was one of a number of types of burial associated with ideas of cleanliness and protection, serving to define a space for the body against the “filthy” and possibly threatening earth. This rite was selected for the burials of specific, usually high-status individuals, rather than being associated with any specific segment of the population. Its application appears to have varied from site to site, representing a flexible, creative burial practice capable of producing a range of symbolic associations for funerals.

Tint, Win. "Population projections for Burma 1983-2013." Thesis, Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University, 1989. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/117557.
Abstract:
Most countries in the world endeavour to develop
their society and economy by means of short and long-term
plans. In attempting to do this, information on the current
and future size of the population and its age-sex
distribution play an important role. Population projections
are thus essential tools for development planning.
In this study, an attempt has been made to project
the population size and age-sex structure of Burma for a
thirty year period from 1983 to 2013. The information
provided by the 1983 census is used as basic data even
though it has some limitations. To describe the rough
demographic trends of the country, the data from annual
vital statistics reports are also utilized.
There are six chapters in this study. In Chapter I,
the geographic and demographic backgrounds, of Burma are
viewed. Chapter II is an analysis of the 1983 census age-sex
distribution by means of sex ratios and age accuracy
indices. Adjusted and smoothed age-sex data are obtained by
three methods.
In Chapter III, the three components of population
growth: mortality; fertility and migration are examined. It
is found that Burma's mortality and fertility have declined
over time. A high level of literacy, an increase in the
singulate mean age at marriage (SMAM) and decrease in the
proportion of married led to fertility decline.
International migration is not significant in Burma.
In Chapter IV, population projections are made using
3 mortality and 4 fertility assumptions. In Chapter V, the
implications of the projected population are assessed. The
effect of rapid population growth on the socio-economic
sectors: agriculture; education; health and employment are
evaluated. This study concludes that the higher the
fertility, the greater the problems for socio-economic
development in the country. Fertility control is desirable
to prevent further economic deterioration in Burma.

Abstract:
Agriculture is still the main stay of the Burmese
economy and the livestock sub-sector is an integral part of the
agricultural sector. Use of draught cattle , which is the main
source of power , is significantly related to the intensity of
cultivation. Livestock are maintained by small farmers as part of
mixed farming , in this way these two sectors are complementary
and inter-dependent.
The main objective of this study is to examine the
aspects of the cattle economy of Burma since independence and the
consequences of State policy in this field. Much has been done in
the agricultural sector since independence, especially beginning
from the early 1960s and effects have started to become
noticeable since the late 1970s.
The livestock sector is targeted to increase at an
average annual growth rate of 5.34 percent in net value of output
(at constant 1969-70 prices) during the Twenty - Year Plan (1974-75
to 1993-94). However, actual growth rate during the first decade
(1974 - 75 to 1983 - 84 ) was 4.49 percent , less than the desired
rate . Growth of agriculture has been substantial and growth in
numbes of draught cattle though higher in recent decades than in
the past is still not sufficient , because of the dispersion of
land among the peasants. During the past decade, as the rate of
expansion draught cattle was faster than that of total sown area,
average sown area per yoke has been declining.
Percapita consumption of meat is fairly low and
percapita consumption of milk is very low, in fact lowest in the Asian region. To improve the situation, the State has been
encouraging individuals and organizations to take up and or
improve animal rearing for milk production. A milk processing
plant is being established with Australian aid.
Recent policy initiatives (since the late 1970s)
and establishment of a separate Ministry of Livestock Breeding
and Fisheries (in 1983) including initiatives like livestock
insurance and loan schemes, the milk processing plant and
improved breeding programmes should help to improve performance
of the sector. Due to constraints of data availability this study
has been restricted to an overall view of the sector°s
performance . Periodic indepth studies of the sector (with
appropriate data base) will help in identification of bottlenecks
and formulation of appropriate corrective policy.

Abstract:
In Burma, levels of fertility and mortality are usually estimated directly using the data from the
incomplete vital registration. These estimates, of course, are under-estimates and fertility and
mortality are the areas for further research in Burma. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to
estimate the levels and trends of fertility and mortality in Burma.
Although the Governments of Burma have never intervened in the fertility attitude of the people,
the former socialist Government limited access to any modern methods of contraception. However,
this study shows that a fertility decline started in urban areas in the early 1970s. Moreover, the
levels of fertility in Burma have never exceeded those in India and Bangladesh. Historically, Burma
had lower fertility than India as a whole throughout the pre-War period. The higher age at
marriage, the higher status of women, the higher level of female literacy and the main religion in
Burma, Buddhism, which does not discourage the use of any methods of contraception, are the main
causes of lower fertility in Burma.
Recently, various sources, such as the United Nations, ESCAP, the World Bank and the US Bureau of
the Census, have given quite different estimates of mortality, especially the level of infant
mortality for Burma. Therefore, some indirect estimates of infant and child mortality, using the
data on children ever born and children still living from the 1983 Census, are also made in this
study. The estimates of both infant and general mortality derived in this study are much higher
than both the Government's official estimates and the United Nations estimates.
Moreover, this study shows that mortality has declined substantially since the mid-1950s, and the
decline was much more faster in urban areas than in rural areas. However, it has apparently slowed
down in recent years. The levels of mortality were much lower in Burma than in India throughout the
pre-War period, and still lower than in India and Bangladesh but higher than in Thailand.

Ye, Myint U. "The role of agricultural co-operatives in Burma." Thesis, Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University, 1985. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/120890.
Abstract:
Burma is a country with a long history of rural co-operatives and
with new trends in the co-operative movement. The trend has recently
been to move from lower to higher stages of cooperation - from credit
provision to marketing, and from marketing to farming activities. The
latest development is in the field of co-operative farming which
involves joint efforts in cultivation of land leading to pooling of
cultivation rights and to group farming.
The major aim of this study is to see how agricultural
co-operatives have contributed to rural development in Burma, to
examine the causes of failure and success of the agricultural
co-operative movement in the past, to review the present status of the
movement, and to highlight ways and means that will encourage success
in the future.
The co-operative movement was started in Burma in 1905, under
British rule, to free the small cultivator from dependence on private
money-lenders. Much was expected of the movement, but it was a failure
and this seriously damaged the image of co-operatives.
After Burma regained its independence the Five Year Co-operative
Plan was announced and agricultural co-operatives were formed to
service its members with finance, to supply consumer goods and
agricultural inputs, to sell produce and to promote thrift. Serious
difficulties, including reliance on government loans, inefficiency
compared to private traders and inadequate leadership, meant that most
society did not serve their members well.
When the Revolutionary Council came to power, bogus societies were
liquidated and efforts were made to form new socialist co-operatives as
a mode of socialist ownership of means of production. The co-operative
was regarded as the only socially-acceptable form of socializing
small-scale producers, but most of the peasants were unwilling to pool
their land. The Ministry of Co-operatives adopted the Pilot Project for Co-operative Fanning which emphasised establishing co-operative
farms on cultivable waste land. The Pilot Project aimed to attract
farmers through demonstration of the benefits of co-operative farming.
Most co-operative farms, however, appear to have failed to take full
advantage of their large scale and have experienced management
disadvantages. The majority of land remains under individual private
ownership and management and the small-holders are still economically
dominant.
Co-operative farming is still in its infancy and has not taken
firm root. Only state initiative and local leadership can give
momentum to the movement. It has to rely on good management and new
technology to achieve higher productivity and output in order to
attract more farmers.

Abstract:
The archaeological landscape of Upper Burma from the middle of the first millennium BC to the Bagan period in the 13th-14th century AD is a landscape of continuity. Finds of polished stone and bronze artifacts suggest the existence of early metal-using cultures in the Chindwin and Samon River Valleys, and along parts of the Ayeyarwady plain. Increasing technological and settlement complexity in the Samon Valley suggests that a distinctive culture whose agricultural and trade success can be read in the archaeological record of the Late Prehistoric period developed there. The appearance of the early urban "Pyu" system of walled central places during the early first millennium AD seems to have involved a spread of agricultural and management skills and population from the Samon. The leaders of the urban centres adopted Indic symbols and Sanskrit modes of kingship to enhance and extend their authority. The early urban system was subject over time to a range of stresses including siltation of water systems, external disruption and social changes as Buddhist notions of leadership eclipsed Brahmanical ones. The archaeological evidence indicates that a settlement was forming at Bagan during the last centuries of the first millennium AD. By the mid 11th century Bagan began to dominate Upper Burma, and the region began a transition from a system of largely autonomous city states to a centralised kingdom. Inscriptions of the 11th to 13th centuries indicate that as the Bagan Empire expanded it subsumed the agricultural lands that had been developed by the Pyu.

In October 2010 the Constitutional Council of France approved a law banning the burqa and niqab from all public places. Joining the ongoing scholarly discussion on veiling, this study seeks to understand the role the French press played in legitimating the ban, the first of its kind to be implemented in Europe. I argue that discourse in the press made the legislation appear reasonable and necessary because of its association with gender inequality and religious fundamentalism. This media narrative legitimated the legislation by presenting the veil as intolerable and “against public social order.” Made necessary by rapidly shifting demographics in contemporary France, this discourse was couched in a defensive employment of laïcité.

Abstract:
Burial spaces within the City of Pretoria have become inert, fenced-off islands – restricting death rituals and their intrinsic value to society. The lack of urban burial space within Pretoria has resulted in the propagation of urban sprawl, and the bereaved are required to bury the deceased in cemeteries outside of the city. Burial spaces were once part of the range of vital public facilities within historical cities, and death rituals are argued to be central to cultural and individual identities. In order to address this predicament of the removal of burial rituals from the City, the dissertation proposes re-introducing a public commemorative burial space within the City of Pretoria. The dissertation challenges the notion of the heterotopic modern burial space occupying a peripheral site, out of the public eye, and completely insular to the public realm in order to preserve its sanctity. The overarching intention of the research is to develop a prototypical approach for the introduction of a commemorative burial space which can support the burial rituals of the cultural groups of Pretoria, publicly express civic cultural memory, and contribute to urban-placemaking activities.Mini Dissertation (MArch (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2020.

Chapman, Emma Rosamund. "Children and child burial in medieval England." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2016. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/255866.
Abstract:
This thesis presents an investigation into children in medieval England through burial, the most archaeologically-visible evidence for the treatment and conceptualisation of children in life. It examines whether children were distinguished in burial from adults in parish cemeteries of the 10th-16th centuries. Selected cemeteries are analysed in detail to establish whether or not children received different burial treatment to adults. The burials of biologically-immature individuals are compared with the remainder of the burial population, totalling c.4,700 individuals, assessing whether the provision of burial furniture, burial in a shared grave and location of graves varied by age at death. The dissertation includes a discussion of archaeological and historical approaches to children and child burial, both general and medieval, medieval attitudes to children, death and burial, before discussing the case study sites in depth. From this, the methodological issues of undertaking such a study are considered and a sympathetic methodology developed, before the presentation of analysis, discussions and conclusions. I demonstrate that a variety of burial practices were used during the medieval period and that differentiation by age at death occurred. The results show that burials of juveniles are commonly differentiated, particularly infants aged 0-1 year or children aged 12 years or younger, by furniture, inclusion in a multiple burial and location. The thesis concludes that a variety of factors affected how an individual was buried, with age a strong determining factor for those dying at a young age. The influence of age is interpreted as resulting from medieval attitudes to infants, children and adolescents based on active, socially-identified characteristics, indicative of age-based appropriate burial treatment on both familial and community levels due to emotional, social, religious and economic concerns.

Abstract:
Forensic taphonomy is concerned with investigation of graves and grave sites. The primary aim of forensic taphonomy is development of accurate estimations of postmortem interval (PMI) and/or postburial interval (PBI). Soil has previously been largely ignored, therefore this thesis is designed to investigate changes in decomposition as imparted by the soil. Furthermore the impact of cadaver interment on the surrounding soil may offer prospects for identification of clandestine graves. A series of laboratory controlled decomposition experiments using cadavers (Mus musculus) and cadaver analogues (skeletal muscle tissue (SMT); Sus scrofa, Homo sapiens, Ovis aries and Bos Taurus) were designed to investigate decomposition in burial environments. Sequential destructive harvests were carried out to monitor temporal changes during decomposition. Analyses conducted included; mass loss, microbial activity (CO2 respiration) and soil chemistry (pH, EC and extractable NH4 +, NO3 -, PO4 3- and K+). Several experimental variables were tested; frozen-thawed versus refrigerated SMT, different mammalian sources of SMT, different soil type and contribution of soil versus enteric microbial communities. Mass loss measurements for SMT experiments demonstrated a sigmoidal pattern of mass loss, however, larger cadavers (Mus musculus, 5 weeks) did not. The inhumation of SMT (frozen, unfrozen, different mammalian sources) or cadavers leads to an increase in microbial activity (CO2 respiration) within 24 hours of burial. A peak of microbial activity is attained within a week, followed by a decrease and eventual plateau. The rapid influx in microbial activity is matched by corresponding increases in pH and NH4 + concentration. pH and NH4 + are strongly correlated in soils with acidic basal pH, by comparison highly alkaline soil demonstrated no relationship. NH4 + concentration also appeared to be related directly to NO3 - concentration and cadaver or SMT mass. A decrease in NH4 + corresponds with an increase in NO3 -, however, nitrification was unpredictable. Rapid nitrification was observed in sand systems when SMT was interred, but was not noted when cadavers were interred. By comparison both sandy clay loam and loamy sand soils demonstrated rapid nitrification after inhumation of a cadaver. When cadaver or cadaver analogue mass was larger, so were NH4 + and NO3 - concentrations in systems that experienced nitrification.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Sports Science Radiology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2006The knee is one ofthe most complicated joints in the body. The deep infrapatellar bursa being only a small water-pocket and forming a small part of the knee. The deep infrapatellar bursa can get inflamed and cause great discomfort, especially to professional sportsmen and -women. If such a inflammation is present, a common treament option are to inject a cortisone solution into the bursa for quick relieve and healing. This study was performed to investigate the specific ultrasound features of a normal deep infrapatellar bursa. Thus enableing more specific and accurate diagnosis of deep infrapatellar bursitis or not, which in turn leads to quicker recovery ofthe patients. A total of280 males and females from various population groups were recruited for the study. Subjects were categorized into different subgroups depending on their gender, ethnicity, competitiveness in sport, sport type practised and previous knee problems. These subgroups enabled a more individual specific DIB measurement. A high frequency ultrasound examination ofboth knees ofall recruits were performed. The deep infrapatellar bursa was located by slightly flexing the knee and applying not to much pressure with the probe whilst scanning. Three measurements, antero-posterio (AP), cranio-caudal (CC) and width measurements, were recorded ofeach individuals left and right deep infrapatellar bursa (DIB). The results ofthe DIB measurements were compared to results from a ultrasound study perfonned in Gennany and a favourable comparison could be made. MRI studies of the DIB performed in Turkey and Switzerland differed greatly from those of this study and Germany. This study could serve as a valuable source ofreference to sonographer, radiologist and orthopaedic surgeons when investigating the deep infrapatellar bursa. A statistical significant difference was shown for males having a larger DIB than female, for competitive sports people having a larger Dill than non-competitive sports people and also inactive people; and rugby players (as a sport type) have larger DIBs than cricketers, runners, soccer players and cyclists. Another surprising factor was the amazing ultrasound detection rate of the deep infrapatellar bursa, which allows for future easy and confident assessing of the DIB by ultrasound.

Pinder, Adam. "Decomposition of organic materials within burial environments." Thesis, University of York, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/17404/.
Abstract:
The funerary practices of many past cultures in Northwestern Europe involve the burial of the deceased in clothing and in wooden coffins. Although objects made from wood, textiles and leather that exhibit exceptional levels of preservation, or that hold great significance, are commonly analysed by a wide range of analytical techniques, fragments of degraded coffin wood and funerary clothing materials have not, to date, been chemically analysed. This material therefore represents a wealth of potential information that has yet to be investigated. By identifying and examining the preservation state of wood, textiles and leather placed in archaeological human burials, this research sought to explore the information that could be gained from analysing these degraded materials, and to develop an understanding of the long term decomposition trajectories of different archaeological materials buried in a range of burial environments. This analysis was complemented with data obtained from relatively shorter term burial experiments, aimed at investigating the short term diagenetic processes. A suite of appropriate analytical chemistry techniques were employed to assess the degradation that had occurred in wood, textiles and leather by comparison with undegraded modern analogues. Using this approach, it has been shown that by examining the component biopolymers, not only can their preservation state be assessed, but a greater depth of information regarding their provenance may be gained in comparison to traditional archaeological methods. The degradation modifications that have occurred within the burial environments were shown to be attributable to a range of fungal, microbial and chemical factors. The type and extent of the degradation allow conditions within the burial environments to be elucidated. These findings have potential implications for the understanding, interpretation and conservation of buried archaeological and forensic materials.

Previous issue date: 2008-04-29Palms (Arecaceae) are considered to be one of the most important plant resources. These plants are sources of food, fiber, building material, medicine and other products. Due its exuberance they are also used in landscaping projects. Brazil presents great diversity of palms. In Rio Grande do Sul State there are six genera, of which the most known is Butia genus for the reason that they have fruits with unique flavor and aroma. Butia palms are quite known and used mainly by rural communities. There are few references on genetic diversity and other scientific issues related to species use and conservation. On the same way, there is no currently knowledge about uses of this plant by local communities as well as on their real potential for use. Two studies were developed with the goal of contributing to knowledge related to genetic resources of Butia genus palm trees native from Rio Grande do Sul State: first, an ethnobotanical survey of rural communities knowledge about fruits and leaves uses, management and care related to these plants; second: a molecular characterization of Butia capitata plants in eight populations from three regions in Rio Grande do Sul State by AFLP molecular markers. The results of ethnobotanical survey shows a strong relationship between people and plants studied. It was verified use of Butia fruits in various types of food and beverages production (sweets, ice cream, chocolates and desserts) and handicrafts (recycled paper from fruit pulp and utilitarian objects from leaves fibers). Besides, data for plant management, like seed germination process, pruning, transplanting and methods that could increase productivity were obtained. With presence and absence data from four primer combinations, 199 polymorphic loci were found. Molecular markers were evaluated by AMOVA. Thus, it was possible to verify that 83.68% of genetic variability is attributed to variation between populations and 13.67% is attributed to differences between populations within regions. We conducted an AMOVA pair-wise analysis among eight populations. From a total of 28 comparisons, 15 populations shows significant differences, with an average of 14.72% molecular variation attributed to differences among populations, indicating the presence of genetic variability. The results obtained through this analysis indicate that AFLP molecular markers were effective for genetic divergence analysis. These studies helped to increase the existing knowledge about this genetic resource.
As palmeiras (Arecaceae) são consideradas como um dos mais importantes recursos vegetais. Essas plantas são fontes de alimento, fibra, material de construção, remédios e outros produtos. São também utilizadas em projetos paisagísticos devido à sua exuberância. O Brasil apresenta grande diversidade de palmeiras. No Rio Grande do Sul ocorrem seis gêneros, dentre os quais o mais conhecido é o gênero Butia, devido aos seus frutos de sabor e aroma peculiares. Os butiazeiros são bastante conhecidos e utilizados principalmente pelas comunidades rurais. Apesar disso, existem poucas referências sobre a diversidade genética e demais questões científicas referentes à utilização e conservação das espécies. Da mesma forma, não se tem um conhecimento sobre os usos dados atualmente à planta pela população local, assim como sobre o seu real potencial de utilização. Com o objetivo de contribuir para o conhecimento relacionado aos recursos genéticos de palmeiras do gênero Butia nativas do Rio Grande do Sul foram realizados dois estudos: primeiro, foi feito um levantamento etnobotânico em busca do conhecimento das comunidades locais a respeito do uso dos frutos e folhas e do manejo e cuidados dados a estas plantas; segundo, foi realizada a caracterização molecular de Butia capitata através da análise de oito populações de três regiões do Rio Grande do Sul por meio de marcadores moleculares do tipo AFLP. Os resultados do levantamento etnobotânico mostraram que, nos locais visitados, existe uma forte relação entre os moradores e as plantas em estudo. Foi verificada a utilização dos frutos de butiazeiros para a produção de diversos tipos de alimentos e bebidas (doces, sorvetes, bombons e sobremesas) e confecção de artesanato (papel reciclado da polpa e objetos utilitários das fibras das folhas). Também foram obtidos dados referentes ao manejo, relativos à germinação da semente, poda, transplante e métodos que poderiam aumentar a produtividade de frutos. Através dos dados de presença e ausência de marcadores obtidos com quatro combinações de primers, foram encontrados 199 locos polimórficos. A avaliação dos dados moleculares foi feita pela análise molecular da variância (AMOVA). Deste modo, foi possível verificar que 83,68% da variabilidade genética é atribuída à variação entre populações e 13,67% é atribuída a diferenças entre populações dentro de regiões. Foi feita a análise comparativa entre as oito populações estudadas, analisadas de duas a duas pela análise da AMOVA. Do total de 28 comparações, foram significativas as diferenças entre 15 populações, com média de 14,72% da variação molecular atribuída às diferenças entre populações, indicando a presença de variabilidade genética. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a técnica de AFLP foi eficiente para a caracterização molecular e análise da variabilidade genética. Estes estudos contribuíram para aumentar o conhecimento existente a respeito deste recurso genético.

Abstract:
This thesis concerns the recent debate about the so-called cover ban in Denmark, which has been known in media as the ‘burka ban’. The ban involves an illegalization of covering of the face that does not have a justifiable cause like weather conditions. Through a discourse analysis of media articles the aim of this thesis is to identify which arguments are represented in this debate. The material for the analysis is found in the two major Danish newspapers; Politiken and Berlingske. The analysis is inspired by the theories of Norman Fairclough. The theoretical framework of the thesis is centered on theories regarding gender equality and feminism, and the analysis focuses on the discourses of these topics that are reproduced in the debate. The results show how the discourse of gender equality is the most prominent in the debate, and it shows how this discourse is naturalized. Within this discourse, there is an element of liberation of women, and this liberation is presented as the goal for all women. Furthermore, only the majority has access to this discourse, and it is not possible for the minority to negotiate it in any way. I discuss how the debate can be seen as an expression of the discourse about Islam in Denmark in general, as well as how the ban can be seen in a context of objectification of the female body.

Abstract:
The aim of this work was show two studies. The first one consisted of a survey on indigenous Butia from Rio Grande do Sul. Through observations of morphological characteristics, eight species were recognized (B. catarinensis Noblick & Lorenzi, B. eriospatha (Mart. ex Drude) Becc., B. exilata Deble & Marchiori, B. lallemantii Deble & Marchiori, B. odorata (Barb. Rodr.) Noblick, B. paraguayensis (Barb. Rodr.) L. H. Bailey, B. witeckii K. Soares & S. Longhi and B. yatay (Mart.) Becc.). Three were considered synonyms (B. missionera Deble & Marchiori, B. pulposa (Barb. Rodr.) Nehrl. and B. quaraimana Deble & Marchiori). B. microspadix Burret and B. stolonifera (Barb. Rodr.) Becc. was not confirmed from Rio Grande do Sul. Figures with geographical distribution, key of identification, illustrations, and comments about the biology and taxonomy of each species were provided. The second study evaluated the ecological characteristics and productive and reproductive potential of two jelly palm populations from Rio Grande do Sul, with a population of B. yatay species (from Coatepe Quaraí) and another of B. witeckii species (from Quebra-dentes Quevedos/Júlio de Castilhos). In an area of 1 ha of the first species and 2 ha of the second species, respectively 79 and 34 mature palms were found. The characterization of the number of fruits per inflorescence was based on a sample of 80 and 84 infructescenses, respectively of the B. yatay and B. witeckii species. The biometric characterization of the fruits was based on a sample of 240 and 360 fruits, respectively for the B. yatay and B. witeckii species, separated by crop and plot. The hypsometric distribution shows that two populations are seriously threatened due to lack of natural regeneration, predated by cattle. Both species showed some significant differences between biometric parameters in adult trees (except the stem circumference and number of inflorescences in B. witeckii) and their fruit, when comparing the different plots. Positive correlations were found between biometric parameters of plants and of the fruits. Biometric parameters of the palmtrees are correlate with ecological parameters observed. There was an increase in the production of fruit pulp in the year 2012 when compared with 2011 on two species.Several factors seem to influence productivity, such as weather conditions, performance of pollinators, age/size of palm, physical and chemical characteristics of the soil and density of reproductive plants. The productivity of pulp and viable seeds per adult palm shows significant difference between two species, 10.31 kg and 12.96 kg of pulp and 1388 and 1075 viable seeds per palm, respectively, for B. yatay and B. witeckii. The two species have great productive potential.O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de realizar dois estudos. O primeiro consistiu no levantamento das espécies de Butia nativas do Rio Grande do Sul e, através de observações das características morfológicas, foram confirmadas oito espécies: B. catarinensis Noblick & Lorenzi, B. eriospatha (Mart. ex Drude) Becc., B. exilata Deble & Marchiori, B. lallemantii Deble & Marchiori, B. odorata (Barb. Rodr.) Noblick, B. paraguayensis (Barb. Rodr.) L. H. Bailey, B. witeckii K. Soares & S. Longhi e B. yatay (Mart.) Becc. Além disso, três foram consideradas sinonímias: B. missionera Deble & Marchiori, B. pulposa (Barb. Rodr.) Nehrl. e B. quaraimana Deble & Marchiori. B. microspadix Burret e B. stolonifera (Barb. Rodr.) Becc. não foram confirmadas para a flora sul-riograndense. Foram fornecidas figuras com a distribuição das espécies no estado, chave de identificação, ilustrações, e comentários acerca da biologia e da taxonomia de cada espécie. O segundo estudo avaliou os aspectos ecológicos e silviculturais de Butia yatay e Butia witeckii, sendo uma população de B. yatay, localizada na região de Coatepe Quaraí, RS, e, outra, da espécie B. witeckii, na região de Quebra-dentes Quevedos/Júlio de Castilhos, RS. Em uma área de 1 ha da primeira espécie e de 2 ha da segunda, foram registradas respectivamente 79 e 34 plantas adultas. A caracterização do número de frutos por infrutescência foi baseado numa amostra de 80 e 84 infrutescências, respectivamente das espécies B. yatay e B. witeckii. A caracterização biométrica dos frutos foi baseada numa amostra de 240 e 360 frutos, respectivamente para as espécies B. yatay e B. witeckii, sendo separadas por safra e por parcela. A distribuição hipsométrica mostrou que as duas populações estão seriamente ameaçadas devido à ausência de regeneração natural, uma vez que as plântulas são predadas pelo gado bovino. Nas duas espécies, houve diferenças significativas entre as estruturas biométricas das plantas adultas (exceto circunferência do estipe e número de infrutescências em B. witeckii) e dos seus frutos, quando se comparou as diferentes parcelas de cada população. Foram encontradas correlações positivas entre as estruturas biométricas das plantas e dos frutos. As estruturas biométricas das plantas apresentaram correlações com os dados ecológicos avaliados. Houve um aumento na produção de polpa dos frutos no ano de 2012 em relação ao ano anterior nas duas espécies; diversos fatores parecem influenciar a produtividade, como condições climáticas, atuação dos agentes polinizadores, idade/porte das palmeiras, características físicas e químicas do solo e densidade de plantas reprodutivas. Entre as espécies, a produtividade de polpa e sementes viáveis apresentou diferença significativa, sendo 10,31 kg e 12,96 kg de polpa e 1388 e 1075 sementes viáveis por butiazeiro, respectivamente para B. yatay e B. witeckii. As duas espécies apresentam grande potencial produtivo.

Abstract:
A lei francesa que proíbe o uso dos véus integrais em espaços públicos, recentemente aprovada, suscitou polêmicas políticas e sociais. Tal lei invoca a necessidade de evitar rostos cobertos em espaços públicos e os defensores da medida frequentemente mencionam o papel da lei em promover a laicidade e a igualdade de gênero. Contudo, o consenso sobre essa questão está longe de ser atingido entre os diversos acadêmicos e políticos que a discutem. Muitos dos opositores da lei a veem como uma forma de promover o racismo e a segregação ao invés da justiça, da liberdade, da integração, da igualdade de gênero e da agência das mulheres. Considerando a posição de algumas teóricas feministas, pretendemos desenvolver uma reflexão associando o feminismo às teorias liberal, comunitarista e multiculturalista a fim de refletir sobre as dimensões políticas e ideológicas deste processo. Assim, abordaremos os conceitos de justiça, liberdade e igualdade, fundamentais para a compreensão desse debate. Desse modo, pretendemos discutir as motivações para a criação da lei, bem como as suas consequências na sociedade francesa.The recent French law banning women from wearing full-cover veils in public spaces has raised controversy in different political and social scopes. The law mentions the necessity of avoiding hidden faces in public spaces and its defenders often mention the law’s role in promoting secularism and gender equality. However, several policy makers and scholars are far from reaching agreement around this issue. Much of the opponents of the law see in this measure a way of promoting racism and segregation instead of justice, freedom, integration, women’s agency and gender equality. Putting at the frontline the position of some feminist scholars, we intend to develop a debate among theoretical feminism liberalism, multiculturalism and communitarism in order to understand the political and ideological dimension of this process. We will be addressing important issues such as justice, freedom and gender equity, which are fundamental to understand this debate. Our aim is to discuss the motivations for creating the law as well as its consequences in French society.
