Ma, Rongqian, and Fanghui Xiao. "Data Practices in Digital History." International Journal of Digital Curation 15, no. 1 (July 22, 2020): 21. http://dx.doi.org/10.2218/ijdc.v15i1.597.
This paper presents an exploratory research project that investigates data practices in digital history research. Emerging from the 1950s and ‘60s in the United States, digital history remains a charged topic among historians, requiring a new research paradigm that includes new concepts and methodologies, an intensive degree of interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, and international collaboration, and experimental forms of research sharing, publishing, and evaluation. Using mixed methods of interviews and questionnaire, we identified data challenges in digital history research practices from three perspectives: ontology (e.g., the notion of data in historical research); workflow (e.g., data collection, processing, preservation, presentation and sharing); and challenges. Extending from the results, we also provide a critical discussion of the state-of-art in digital history research, particularly in respect of metadata, data sharing, digital history training, collaboration, as well as the transformation of librarians’ roles in digital history projects. We conclude with provisional recommendations of better data practices for participants in digital history, from the perspective of library and information science.

Macgilchrist, Felicitas, Barbara Christophe, and Alexandra Binnenkade. "Memory Practices and History Education." Journal of Educational Media, Memory, and Society 7, no. 2 (September 1, 2015): 1–9. http://dx.doi.org/10.3167/jemms.2015.070201.
This special issue of the Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society explores memory practices and history education. The first point of departure for the texts collated here is that memory (whichever concept we use from the current range including collective memory, cultural memory, social memory, connected memory, prosthetic memory, multidirectional memory, travelling memory and entangled memory) is a site of political contestation, subject formation, power struggle, knowledge production, and community-building. Our second point of departure is that history education is a site where teachers and pupils as members of distinct generations engage with textbooks and other materials as specific forms of memory texts that guide what should be passed on to the younger generation. As editors, we solicited papers that investigate how what counts as “worth remembering” in a given context is reproduced, negotiated and/or interrupted in classrooms and other educational practices. This introduction aims to sketch the overarching understanding of memory practices which guide the contributions, to point to the purchase of attending explicitly to the “doing” of memory, to highlight the difference between our approach to history education and approaches focusing on historical thinking, and to introduce the six articles.

Ukraine has gone a long way in developing the right to work. The lack of own statehood for a long period led to the fact that labour relations were regulated by the legislation of empires, which included Ukrainian lands. The purpose of the article is to trace the genesis of the right to work in Ukraine from the beginning of its normative consolidation in the 19th century to the modern stage of bringing national legislation to European standards. Scientific novelty: for the first time, an analysis of the evolution of labour rights in legislation from the imperial acts to the present was carried out, the reasons for changes in the field of labour legislation were analysed. Methodology: the application of problem-chronological, comparative-historical, historical-legal methods made it possible to follow the genesis of the right to work in Ukrainian legislation from the imperial experience to the present. The combination of historical and jurisprudential methods contributed to the systematic examination of the problem, made it possible to follow the influence of the legal component on history, which determined the novelty of the research.
Conclusion: The adoption of imperial legislation was conditioned by the deepening of capitalist relations, but it was limited in nature and did not adequately ensure the rights of workers. Soviet legislation regulated labour relations in more detail. Democratic principles were proclaimed, which, however, had a declarative nature, which was confirmed by the legislative consolidation of forced labour, discrimination in the field of labour relations. With the declaration of independence in Ukraine, labour relations were restructured on the basis of the market, but the Code of 1971 is still in force. With the signing of the Association Agreement with the EU in 2014, Ukrainian labour legislation is being brought closer to European standards.

The article aims to substantiate the potential of postcolonialism's theoretical approaches in rethinking an ethnographic museum's mission in a globalized, multicultural society. The methodological basis of the study based on the tools of contemporary postcolonial and memory studies, museology and anthropology. Scientific novelty. The importance of theoretical approaches to postcolonialism in rethinking the mission of an ethnographic museum in a globalized, multicultural society is substantiated. In the example of the Museum of Civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean in Marseille, innovative curatorial approaches are identified to decolonize the ethnographic collection and integrate the heritage of different peoples of the former colonial empire. Conclusions. The article analyses the emergence and functioning of ethnographic museums in the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century as the embodiment of imperial projects. The evolution of ethnographic museums is closely connected with the development of anthropology as a scientific discipline. Ethnographic objects were seen as evidence of humanity's civilizational evolution and established differences between Europeans and "others." The challenges and peculiarities of the new paradigm of ethnographic museology in the modern world are characterized. The article presents curatorial approaches in the permanent exhibition of the Museum of Civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean in Marseille as an example of transforming an ethnographic museum into a museum of society.

Nettles, Isolde Betty. "Mamluk cavalry practices: Evolution and influence." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2001. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/289748.
Mamluk equestrian expertise in Egypt and Syria from mid-thirteenth to early sixteenth century reflects skills derived from a variety of sources incorporated artfully into their military institution, and which exerted influence beyond the period and the region with which it is directly concerned. With a thorough examination of its various vocations including Furusiyah and equestrian-related activities, a reconstruction of the Mamluk military society leads to the inescapable conclusion that the mounted military sector was absolutely essential to the operation and defense of the State. Maintaining a top-notch cavalry fluctuated at different periods in Mamluk history but seems to have been especially crucial in the first twenty years in the wars against the Crusaders and Mongols. The Mamluk's armies are credited with having cleared the remnants of the Crusaders out of the Levant region, checked the westward advance of the fearsome Mongol hordes into Syria and Palestine, and carved out an empire that extended northwards as far as eastern Turkey. How and where the Mamluks acquired the tactical and riding expertise to accomplish these feats is examined in this dissertation along with the legacy they passed on to later Egyptian and French horsemen. Classical equitation's origins trace to a period of progressive development in horsemanship's history stimulated by Mamluk preoccupation with furusiyah as well as the French Knights' chivalric tournament and battle honor code. Mamluk horsemanship literature left in manuscript form contains systematized military games and tactics patterned after the ancient Greco-Roman world's military, joined with Mamluk cavalry training experience. The main corpus of surviving horsemanship treatises from the Mamluk period awaits translation and/or remains unpublished.

Rigby, Emma Dulcie. "Fashion design and laundry practices : practice-orientated approaches to design for sustainability." Thesis, University of the Arts London, 2016. http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/12014/.
This doctoral enquiry develops practice-orientated approaches to design for sustainability. It focuses on the relationship between garment design, laundry practices and sustainability, and responds to research that evidences domestic laundering as one of the most environmentally damaging stages in a garment’s lifecycle (Allwood, et al.,2006; Hansen, et al., 2007). A one-year laundry study surveyed the use and laundry of sixteen garments to ascertain the relationship between garment design and laundry behaviour. The research findings revealed that laundry behaviours are complex and unpredictable, and often not directly linked to producing cleaner clothes. Laundry routines are underpinned by factors beyond cleanliness including: garment use, social auditing, garment aesthetics,life stage, cultural norms, and spatial arrangements within the household. Through re-examining laundry as a social practice the research develops a series of design provocations to challenge the organisation of laundry practices, and by extension the frequencies and processes in which laundry is carried out. The findings highlight that understanding laundry as a social practice opens a space to reconceptualise design, laundry behaviour and sustainability. It decentres material products and attends to the embedded social dynamics that are set within a nexus of spaces, materials, thoughts, actions and emotions. This provides an alternative lens from which to view and develop design theories and practice for sustainability in fashion. The central insight from the research shows there are multiple benefits from incorporating social theory into methodologies for design for sustainability.

Bear, Carl. "Christian funeral practices in late fourth-century Antioch." Thesis, Graduate Theological Union, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10646813.
Carl Bear This study considers the ways in which the complex debates about appropriate Christian funeral practices in late fourth-century Antioch indicated some of the ways in which Christians' ritual practices embodied their theological beliefs and enacted their religious identities. Sources used to study Christian funerals include the homilies of John Chrysostom, the orations of Libanius, the church order known as Apostolic Constitutions , the historiographic and hagiographic work of Theodoret, and archaeological remains. The analysis of the sources utilizes methods of liturgical history that focus on the perspectives and experiences of ordinary worshipers, and attends to the biases and limitations inherent in the historical record. It also places Christian funeral practices in the context of larger questions surrounding religious identity and ritual in Antioch, especially within the Christian cult of the saints and eucharistic liturgies.
Ordinary Christians and church leaders in fourth-century Antioch had different ideas about how to Christianize their funerals. Criticism from church authorities that Christians' funeral practices were inconsistent with Christian faith in the resurrection were one-sided. Instead, it seems that ordinary Christians had their own ideas about appropriate ways to care for their dead ritually. Especially in the case of mourning and other contested practices, Christians were giving expression to their human emotions of bereavement, loss, and concern for the dead in culturally prescribed ways. Church leaders, such as John Chrysostom., however, desired Christian funeral practices that exhibited fewer cultural influences and that distinctly demonstrated Christian belief in the resurrection in all aspects of the ritual.

Poltrack, Emma. "The history and working practices of the Propeller Theatre Company (1997-2011)." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2015. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/77436/.
My thesis examines the production practices of the Propeller Theatre Company, an all-male ensemble under the direction of Edward Hall. To date, Propeller has worked exclusively on Shakespeare’s plays, staging eighteen full-length productions of eleven plays. The critical attention Propeller has received remains centered on its all-male casting, but my project goes beyond this aspect of Propeller’s work to analyze how Propeller engages practically with Shakespeare’s scripts and to what ends. As a touring company, Propeller has broad popular and commercial appeal, yet there exists little scholarship on the company. In addressing this gap, I demonstrate how Propeller offers something unique in Shakespearean performance as well as investigate the process by which the company produces Shakespeare’s plays. The first chapter begins the work of examining Propeller specifically through its director, Edward Hall, focusing on the way in which Hall’s personal opinions regarding theatre and Shakespeare led to Propeller’s evolution from a one-off production (Henry V, 1997) into an established company. Chapter two concentrates on how designer Michael Pavelka works with Hall in creating the conceptual framework for a production and how he creates scenic and costume designs for the company. The next chapter explores the effect of the Watermill Theatre’s relative isolation on the company's early working practices, the consequences of the first-refusal policy, casting across and within productions (including cross-gender casting and the personation of women), the collaborative rehearsal process, music, and Propeller’s approach to Shakespearean verse speaking. In the fourth chapter, I examine two productions — The Taming of the Shrew (2006) and The Merchant of Venice (2008) — as case studies of how the company performs Shakespeare. The concluding chapter examines the challenges facing Propeller as it attempts to balance a defined reputation with a desire to grow artistically as a company.

Abbink, Erik. "Saxophone education and performance in British Columbia : early history and current practices." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/33141.
There is very little literature available on the overall history of the saxophone in British Columbia. Up to the present time only a few general works have been available, notably the works of Robert Dale McIntosh (History of music in British Columbia 1850-1950) and Paul Green/Nancy Vogan (Music education in Canada: A historical account), but they deal with the saxophone rather marginally. This thesis explores and attempts to synthesize several issues pertaining to the history of the saxophone in British Columbia: how and where it was first introduced, how the public’s reaction to the saxophone seems to have evolved over the years, and which important musical groups from outside British Columbia introduced the saxophone to British Columbia. As the story unfolds the author comments on larger educational issues such as the growth of the wind band movement and its principal proponents, the struggle to get bands accepted as part of the school curriculum, and the evolution of the programs which were developed in universities, colleges and conservatories.
The latter part of the thesis reflects on the current state of affairs and explores current issues involving the saxophone in British Columbia: What are the problems faced by saxophone professionals? What are current attitudes of the public towards the saxophone? In order to answer such questions the author devised a questionnaire which was filled out by a significant number of professional saxophone players.

Our study’s main object is travel anthropology, the branch of science that studies the history and nature of man, socio-cultural space, social relations, and structures by gathering information during short and long journeys. The publication aims to research the theoretical foundations and genesis of travel anthropology, outline its fundamental principles, and highlight interaction with related sciences. The article’s defining objectives are the analysis of the synthesis of fundamental research approaches in travel anthropology and their implementation in journalism. When we analyze what methods are used by modern authors, also called «cultural observers», we can return to the localization strategy, namely the centering of the culture around a particular place, village, or another spatial object. It is about the participants-observers and how the workplace is limited in space and time and the broader concept of fieldwork. Some disciplinary practices are confused with today’s complex, interactive cultural conjunctures, leading us to think of a laboratory of controlled observations. Indeed, disciplinary approaches have changed since Malinowski’s time. Based on the experience of fieldwork of Svitlana Aleksievich, Katarzyna Kwiatkowska-Moskalewicz, or Malgorzata Reimer, we can conclude that in modern journalism, where the tools of travel anthropology are used, the practical methods of complexity, reflexivity, principles of openness, and semiotics are decisive. Their authors implement both for stable localization and for a prevailing transition.

This is a practical workbook to guide local communities and heritage gatherers through the process of capturing and storing their heritage for future generations. Through initiatives with the British Academy and the Coalition for Religious Equality and Inclusive Development (CREID), the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) has been working with young people in Egypt, Iraq and Syria to capture their oral heritage, so that it may be preserved for future generations. Alongside life history interviews and topic interviews - which cover particular aspects of communities’ heritage - a key component of this heritage preservation is how these records will be stored. Thinking about the language and accessibility of digital archiving practices, this workbook is a practical guide to capturing and storing “heritage harvests”, including community interviews, photographs, and short films.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) initiated this project through Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. (PRCI), to apprise industry consensus recommended practices regarding reasonable and prudent crack in-line inspection (ILI) response criteria for hazardous liquid pipelines based on a comprehensive and informed consideration of current practices, processes, research, ILI performance and the industry's operating history. API Recommended Practice (RP) 1176, Assessment and Management of Cracking in Pipelines, are currently being prepared. A target date for a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) from the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) for Title 49 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) and sect;195.452 has not been communicated at this time, however it is anticipated by the industry that an NPRM addressing changes to pipeline integrity management is forthcoming. The objective of this research is to substantiate API's stated depth and failure pressure ratio (FPR) response criteria applicable to ILI reported cracking anomalies in hazardous liquid pipelines, as well as facilitate operator and regulator technical insight sharing.

Wandji, Dieunedort, Jeremy Allouche, and Gauthier Marchais. Vernacular Resilience: An Approach to Studying Long-Term Social Practices and Cultural Repertoires of Resilience in Côte d’Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/steps.2021.001.
This working paper aims to situate our research project within the various debates around resilience. It advocates a historical, cultural and plural approach to understanding how communities develop and share resilient practices in contexts of multiple and protracted crises. A focus on ‘vernacular’ resilience, as embedded in social practices and cultural repertoires, is important since conventional approaches to resilience seem to have overlooked how locally embedded forms of resilience are socially constructed historically. Our approach results from a combination of two observations. Firstly, conventional approaches to resilience in development, humanitarian and peace studies carry the limitations of their own epistemic assumptions – notably the fact that they have generic conceptions of what constitutes resilience. Secondly, these approaches are often ahistorical and neglect the temporal and intergenerational dimensions of repertoires of resilience. In addition to observable social practices, culture and history are crucial in understanding the ways in which vernacular and networked knowledge operates.

This discussion paper summarizes the proceedings at the Second China-Latin America and the Caribbean Policy and Knowledge Summit, focusing on leadership and capacity building for public sector executives. The event, sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Inter-American Development Bank, was held in Beijing and Shanghai, China in 2015. The paper discusses practices related to the management and training of public executives in China, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Jamaica, and Peru, and provides a general context for these practices in OECD and Latin American and Caribbean countries. The Summit identified common challenges among the countries, despite the obvious differences in terms of size and history, such as finding a balance between political neutrality and technical capacity and ensuring high ethical standards to address low citizen trust in the public sector.

Denali National Park and Preserve (DENA) in central Alaska is one of the most geologically and paleontologically diverse parks in the national park system. Fossils found at DENA help to untangle the convoluted bedrock history, record a Late Cretaceous ecosystem, and show changes in life here over several hundred million years. We have prepared a paleontological resources management plan (PRMP) to successfully administer these non-renewable resources in accordance with law and policy. This PRMP establishes goals and strategies for the comprehensive management of paleontological resources at DENA, considering more than a century of change and development of park programs and themes, agency policies and guidelines, and state and federal laws and regulations. Objectives include informing decisions and implementing best practices for paleontological resource management; ensuring the highest protection and preservation of paleontological resources; supporting and overseeing research on these resources; and promoting public outreach and education. This paleontological resources management plan provides a variety of information and recommendations to address these objectives. A brief geological history of DENA and descriptions of fossiliferous rock units provide context for the fossils. Fossil areas of interest and paleontological localities of concern are detailed for management. Practices and recommendations are presented for inventory and monitoring. The process of research permitting and practices for researchers are described. The state of collections and curation is considered. Interpretation and education are tied into existing themes, and venues and opportunities for additional outreach are described. A series of overall recommendations are provided that consider the objectives. Finally, data forms are provided for reference. This PRMP should be used as the foundation of future, more specialized, management plans or reports relating to paleontological resources at DENA.

Maiangwa, Benjamin. Peace (Re)building Initiatives: Insights from Southern Kaduna, Nigeria. RESOLVE Network, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.37805/pn2021.22.lpbi.
Violent conflicts and crime have reached new heights in Nigeria, as cases of kidnapping, armed banditry, and communal unrests continue to tear at the core of the ethnoreligious divides in the country. Southern Kaduna has witnessed a virulent spree of communal unrest in northern Nigeria over the last decade due to its polarized politics and power differentials between the various groups in the area, particularly the Christians and Muslims, who are almost evenly split. In response to their experiences of violence, the people of that region have also shown incredible resilience and grit in transforming their stress and suffering. This policy note focuses on the transformative practices of the Fulani and other ethnic communities in southern Kaduna in terms of how they problem-solve deep-seated socio-political rivalries and violent relations by working through their shared identity, history, and cultures of peace. The note explores how peace practitioners and donor agencies could consolidate local practices of sustaining peace as complementary or alternative resources to the state’s liberal system.
