Full textAbstract:
The Winn family were landowners with estates at Nostell in Yorkshire and Appleby in Lincolnshire. Their property was mainly agricultural but included a small colliery on the Yorkshire estate. In the late 1850s the Winns’ land was heavily mortgaged and the family was in financial difficulty. The thesis centres on the successful efforts led by Rowland Winn (1820-1893), elder son of the landowner Charles (1795-1874), to restore the estates’financial ‘equilibrium through the exploitation of their mineral resources. Edmund Winn (1830-?1908), Rowland’s younger brother, supported him in these endeavours, as did George Winn (1863-1952), Rowland’s fourth son. The thesis places the Winn family in the context of the mid-nineteenth century landowning class, with particular reference to their characteristic attitudes to the preservation, management and economic development of landed property. The Winns’previous experience in mining is linked to their plan for a new and larger colliery at Nostell, which they considered the best opportunity for increasing the income from their estates. This plan was overtaken by the discovery of ironstone on the Lincolnshire property, and the thesis investigates the Winns’ rationale for leasing the stone rather than mining it on their own account. The ironstone generated a rapid and growing income and, building on this success, the Winns sank a new colliery at Nostell that opened in 1866. Unlike the ironstone, the colliery was directly financed and managed by the Winn family, who took on the full capital risk of the venture. The thesis investigates the sources of the colliery capital, and considers the running of the colliery between 1866 and 1914 from the perspectives of accounting policy, transport and logistics, marketing and management. It concludes that in establishing and running the colliery the Winn family combined the characteristic and in some ways contrasting approaches to entrepreneurialism and management of the landowning class, and of the personal capitalists who dominated contemporary British industry. The conclusion challenges the suggestion that the mid-late nineteenth century landowning class had an inherent dislike of all forms of industry. The thesis also attempts to contribute to the knowledge of the evolution of marketing and management in the Victorian and Edwardian coal industry.

Full textAbstract:
The development of and changes in human social organization have been a concern of anthropological research since the inception of the discipline. A perspective that focuses on the interaction between exogenous (ecological and historical) variables and social organization is argued for herein. This study tests the idea that inheritance patterns reflect both land use and sociohistorical factors. Further, it is suggested that after their move into the American Southwest, the inheritance of agricultural land was influential in the development, although not necessarily the origins, of matrilineality among the Navajo. Data were obtained on land tenure practices in Canyon de Chelly and its major tributary, Canyon del Muerto, historically important centers of Navajo agriculture. Detailed interviews with 93% of the Navajo families owning land in the canyons provided information on land use and inheritance patterns since the 1880s. Data from over 400 cases of land transfers were analyzed. Historical documents and archaeological studies also provided information on Navajo settlement patterns, changes in farming practices and environmental fluctuations since the mid-1700s. Within the past fifty years, and probably longer, topographic and physiographic differences between Canyon de Chelly and Canyon del Muerto have contributed to variations in land use within the canyon system. Ditch irrigated feed crops are now only grown in Canyon del Muerto, and they are commonly used by families involved in market oriented cattle ranching. Further, as a result of erosion problems, the production potential of some canyon areas, as well as the quantity of arable land, is declining. Not all families are able to meet the increasing need for labor and capital intensive practices that could maximize agricultural production on their canyon land, but it remains a highly valued resource. This research indicates that since the 1880s agricultural land in Canyon de Chelly has been transferred more frequently along matrilineal lines, and the explanations for the differences in land tenure patterns between the canyons over time relate both to ecological and socio-historical variables. In conclusion, it is argued that the complexity found within this canyon system reflects a heterogeneity common to any culture, but which anthropologists tend to overlook.

Full textAbstract:
During the first millennium BC, the people of the chalk landscapes of the Yorkshire Wolds began carving up their world with monumental linear earthworks. This project explores the meanings of the later prehistoric boundary systems of the Yorkshire Wolds. It writes a biography of the linear earthwork landscapes of the north-central Wolds, using geographic information systems (GIS), original fieldwork and theories of agency and memory. Tracing the construction, use and modification of particular linear earthworks, it examines how these monuments would have related to other features in the landscape, and how they could have exercised agency within networks of interconnected people, animals, objects and other places. Finally, the project attempts to situate these boundary systems within the larger context of Late Bronze Age and Iron Age society in order to understand how the later prehistoric people of East Yorkshire would have experienced their world. Taking a biographical approach to landscape and allowing linear earthworks to become the protagonists of this narrative, the project charts the life histories of the earthworks at Wetwang-Garton Slack and Huggate Dykes and investigates the collective authorship of the wider landscape. To understand the rural, monumental landscapes of the Wolds, we must consider the agency of not only people, but also of animals and of monuments themselves. By focussing on the relationships which bound together linear earthworks and other agents, we can begin to understand the ways in which monumentalised landscapes both reflected and generated the cosmologies of prehistoric communities.

Hagelin, Christopher A. "Patterns of residence and inheritance of rural Rastafarians of Jamaica." Virtual Press, 1995. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/958774.
Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to examine the patterns of residence and inheritance of rural Rastafarians of Jamaica. A historical materialist perspective is used to investigate the development of the matrifocal rural peasantry and the Rastafari movement, focusing on major economic changes which laid the foundation for the present cultural patterns. Ethnographic fieldwork was carried out from January to June 1995, in which a participantobservation methodology was used to gather data concerning patterns of residence and inheritance of 22 Rastafarians. The findings demonstrated that rural Rastas have difficulty practicing their ideal patrilineal patterns due to economic and material conditions; poverty and limited access to land impose limitations on patterns of residence and inheritance. Following a period of isolation after converting to the movement, Rastas generally must return to their mother's family to gain access to land and gardens or continue to squat in the mountains on government or private land.Department of Anthropology

Full textAbstract:
Magister Theologiae - MThIn this thesis I show the relationship and interplay between Deuteronomistic ideology, land (which sometimes leads to food security) and cohesion with God and with ‘brothers’ socioreligious cohesion) in Deuteronomy and the eighth century prophets (especially Micah, Amos, Isaiah and Hosea). This research argues that loyalty to the covenant with Yahweh guarantees cohesion/solidarity with Yahweh and with ‘brothers’, as well as “God’s gift of Land” (which sometimes amounts to food security). However, the broken covenant with Yahweh leads to “loss of land” which presents food insecurity, and as a consequence people turn against one another. These three interplaying-themes of ideology, land and cohesion does not follow a set path but rather but they appear in different ways hence in Deuteronomy 8 food security (abundance) leads to “loss of memory about Yahweh”. Yahweh is forgotten! But also food security fosters a relationship with Yahweh (idea of eating to remember Yahweh’s goodness). Deuteronomic texts of feasts, festivals and sharing will be utilized to prove how food (in)security guarantees and/or compromises cohesion with Yahweh and especially ‘brothers’ (Deuteronomy 6,14 and 15). The fertility curses of Deuteronomy 28 will be brought up as proof that the scarcity of food breaks down ideas of sharing and cohesion, hence, parents ate their children in secret without sharing with anyone (Deuteronomy 28:53- 5). Cohesion is compromised due to famine. The relationship between disobedience, food and fertility curses in the eighth century prophets will be explored.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the link between Paul's belief that Jesus is Israel's Messiah and his interpretation of the Abrahamic land promise in Galatians. It counters claims that Paul replaces the Promised Land with the gift of the Holy Spirit or salvation. Instead, this thesis argues that Paul expands the inheritance to include the whole earth because he believes that, as the seed of Abraham and David, Jesus is entitled to the entire earth as his inheritance and kingdom. For Paul, then, God's promise to Abraham will be fulfilled when believers share in the worldwide inheritance of the Son. This thesis demonstrates that scholars neglect Paul's expanded interpretation of the inheritance because they rarely appreciate the role that messianism plays in Galatians. I contend that they fail to appreciate the role of messianism because they do not acknowledge a central point of contact between Jewish and Pauline messianism. This point of contact is that royal and messianic figures are often portrayed as God's means of fulfilling the land promises through the establishment of their kingdoms. An examination of several second temple texts will show that authors often tie the actions of royal and messianic figures to the final realisation of the land promises. In many of these accounts, these messianic figures establish kingdoms that are worldwide. Turning to believe heirs is a manifestation of Second Temple messianism because Paul argues that faith in Christ is sufficient to allow believers to share in the inheritance that belongs to Christ as seed and Son. For Paul, that inheritance is the whole renewed earth. Thus, Paul's interpretation of the Abrahamic inheritance is inseparable from his belief that Jesus is Israel's Messiah.

Higgins, David Ian. "Catchment scale influences on brown trout fry populations in the Upper Ure catchment, North Yorkshire." Thesis, Durham University, 2011. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/3571/.
Full textAbstract:
A multi-scale approach for restoration site selection is presented and applied to an upland catchment, the River Ure, North Yorkshire. Traditional survey methods, advances in remote sensing, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and risk-based fine sediment modelling using the SCIMAP module are combined to gather data at the catchment-scale through to the in-stream habitat-scale. The data gathered have been assessed against spatially distributed brown trout fry populations using Pearson’s correlation and multiple stepwise regressions. Fine sediment was shown to have a positive correlation with fry populations when upland drainage channels (grips) were added to the SCIMAP model. This suggests risk from peatland drainage is realised further down the catchment where eroded sediments are deposited. Farm-scale SCIMAP modelling was tested against farmers’ knowledge with variable results. It appears there is a cultural response to risk developed over generations. Management of meadows and pasture land through sub-surface drainage and stock rotation resulted in the risk being negated or re-routed across the holding. At other locations apparently low-risk zones become risky through less sensitive farming methods. This multi-scale approach reveals that the largest impacts on brown trout recruitment operate at the habitat-adjacent scale in tributaries with small upstream areas. The results show a hierarchy of impact, and risk-filters, arising from different intensity land management. This offers potential for targeted restoration site selection. In low-order streams it seems that restoration measures which exclude livestock, and provide bankside shading, can be effective. At such sites the catchment-scale shows a reduced signal on in-stream biota. Thus, brown trout stocks could be significantly enhanced by targeting restoration at riffle-habitat zones and adjacent land in order to disconnect the stream from farm-derived impacts and through adding structure to the stream channel.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Chapter one of this research and its hypothesis outlines the way in which land inheritance has been applied in past decades to the total exclusion of women. This study includes mainly the Ogba and Ekpeye and concentrates on areas where the Bible has been read for nearly 100 years without any appreciable impact on the cultural restrictions imposed on women with respect to the inheritance of land. Chapter two highlights the practices of land tenure in both the ancient Near East (ANE) and ancient Israel, with specific emphasis on the concepts of ahuzzah and nahalah, the role of the kinsman redeemer (goe/) in the redemption and retension of the family inheritance, and the importance of the dowry as a substitute for land inheritance. Chapter three looks at the social and religious status of women in the ANE and ancient Israel, and illustrates the importance of women as daughters or wives. The specific inheritance rights enjoyed by women in ANE societies are also mentioned. The inheritance rights of women in South-east Nigeria and the Niger Delta are covered in chapter four. The traditional system of land holding and the relationship between this system and the socio-economic status of women are disussed. Empirical evidence from the Niger Delta communities is given and a comparison made with other groups in Niqerie. The thesis proceeds to make a functionally equivalent translation of the Zelophehad narrative (Num. 27:1-11) with the understanding that such unique texts, if properly understood, could impact on the cultural perceptions of the people in terms of the inheritance rights of women. This contrasts with the more literal, second language translations which seem not to have had any significant impact on the communities so far. The final chapter makes an evaluation of the central hypothesis. Due to logistic difficulties, the application of the results of the research to the target communities may have to wait until funds are available to test the translation within the target communities. Such a test will have to be done over a period of time to determine its impact on the problem facing women with respect to inheritance rights.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hoofstuk een van hierdie studie en hipotese fokus op die navorsingsvraag, naamlik die wyse waarop grondnalatenskap die afgelope dekades tot die algehele uitsluiting van vroue plaasgevind het. Die studie sluit hoofsaaklik die Ogba en Ekpeye in, en konsentreer op streke waar die Bybel die afgelope 100 jaar gelees is sonder enige noemenswaardige impak op die kulturele beperkings op vroue met betrekking tot die erf van grond. Hoofstuk twee bespreek die grondbesitpraktyke in beide die antieke Nabye Ooste (ANa) en antieke Israel. Spesifieke aandag word geskenk aan die konsepte van ahuzzah en nahalah, die rol van die bloedverwant losser (goel) in die aflos en behoud van die familie erfenis, en die belang van die bruidskat as substituut vir 'n nalatenskap van grond. Hoofstuk drie kyk na die sosiale en godsdienstige status van vroue in die ANa en antieke Israel, en illustreer die belangrikheid van vroue as dogters of getroudes in die gemeenskap. Die spesifieke erfregte wat vroue in die ANO geniet het, word ook genoem. Die erfreg van vroue in Suid-oos Niqerie en die Niger Delta word in hoofstuk vier gedek. Die tradisionele stelsel van grondbesit word bespreek, asook die verhouding tussen hierdie sisteem en die sosio-ekonomiese status van vroue. Empiriese bewyse uit die Niger Delta gemeenskappe word verskaf en 'n vergelyking getref met ander groepe in Niqerie. Die tesis maak 'n funksioneel gelykwaardige vertaling van die Selofgad-verhaal (Num. 27: 1-11), met die verstandhouding dat sulke unieke tekste, indien behoorlike verstaan, 'n impak kan he op kulturele waarnemings ten opsigte van die erfreg van vroue. Dit kontrasteer met die meer letterlike, tweedetaal vertalings wat tot dusver skynbaar geen noemenswaardige impak op die gemeenskappe gehad het nie. In die finale hoofstuk word die sentrale hipotese qeevalueer. Die toepassing van die resultate van die navorsing op die teikengemeenskappe sal, as gevolg van logistieke struikelblokke, moet wag tot fondse beskikbaar is om die vertaling op die teikengemeenskappe te toets. Sodanige toets sal oor "n tydperk moet strek ten einde die impak daarvan op die probleem wat vroue ervaar ten opsigte van erfreg vas te stel.

Full textAbstract:
The large-scale field-systems, ubiquitous across upland and marginal parts of the Yorkshire Dales, are insecurely dated and poorly understood. Apart from some sporadic academic interest, the archaeology of this region has yet to receive the level of scholarly attention it deserves. The research presented here involved an intensive investigation of an area near Grassington, Upper Wharfedale, UK. Detailed field analysis revealed a section of one of these field-systems to be only a single element in a complex, multi-layered prehistoric landscape, which it is proposed may have roots as far back as the early Neolithic. Contextualisation of the survey area against palynological data, radiocarbon dates and comparative material moves the date of inception of the field-systems back to the middle Bronze Age, some 1000 years earlier than is currently assumed. The combination of empirical data and theoretical ideas has allowed a relative chronology to be determined in the survey area, together with the creation of a testable hypothesis surrounding the development of Upper Wharfedale and the wider Yorkshire Dales through prehistory. A sense of place and the veneration of natural places are key themes within this landscape and it was possible through these to draw out elements of prehistoric society and to show the evolution of ideas such as land tenure and monument significance. This dual empirical-theoretical approach is novel in upland landscape archaeology in the UK and is shown here to have significant merit.

Full textAbstract:
The study explores the situation of women in the indigenous villages in Hong Kong during the post-colonial era, with particular reference to the walled villages in the New Territories. I look at how the legitimization of women inheritance right has an effect on gender dynamics since the ruling. The research is the first detailed ethnographic study that takes on an important Issue about how the indigenous women status and gender dynamics have evolved in the post-colonial Hong Kong, an understudied topic by contemporary scholarship. It makes a valuable contribution to the study of rural women in conditions of post-colonial transformation and to Hong Kong studies. The thesis is a comparative study of two walled villages based on a 24-month of archival research and fieldwork between 2008 and December 2011. Through chapters that provide analyses of the women inheritance women movement, the political and socio-economic transformation in Hong Kong. I elucidate the indigenous women's struggles that result from their intersectional position in the Hong Kong context. This context includes the long standing patriarchal dominance of the walled villages; a colonial history that promotes patriarchy in contradiction to the legal institution that legalizes women's right to inherit and government policy that obstructs indigenous women from exercising their full rights. The findings demonstrate that change in the inheritance law serves as an important statutory rather than an active agent in promoting changes in gender relations in the walled village. Rapid urbanization and commoditization of the walled villages and wider opportunities for walled village women in education, jobs are important factors that led to a shift in gender dynamics within the two villages. Difference in gender relations are salient across generations in both villages. In the walled villages, women, whether they are indigenous inhabitants or not, are both the products of political and socio-economic transformation within the greater Hong Kong context and the agents that induce changes to the walled villages since the legitimization of women inheritance rights in 1994.

Full textAbstract:
Zimbabwean rural women make significant contribution to agriculture and are the mainstay of the farm labour. Although women do the majority of agricultural work, men, for the most part continue to own the land, control women‟s labour and make agricultural decisions supported by patriarchal social systems. Thus, rural women faced difficulties than men in gaining access to land under Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP). Women‟s relationship with land is therefore through husbands, fathers, brothers or sons. Therefore, this study has undertaken with the objective of assessing the impact of land distribution programme with respect to its contribution to women‟s empowerment in the study area. The Gender and Development approach was employed to assess women access to land under the FTLRP. Such an approach to rural development can help in reducing the gender gap between women and men in order to achieve gender-balanced development. The study used qualitative research methodology where semi-structured interviews gather data from women in Mutasa District. Findings indicate that there are a number of challenges and constraints that are experienced by rural women under the Fast Track Land Reform Programme which include male land registration, no access to credit, inadequate government input support, lack of government laws and policies awareness on women land rights, shortage of farm implements and irrigation water supply and lack of agriculture training. On the other hand, culture and traditional practices still affect women in other cases, disadvantaging them in favour of men, as in inheritance of land and property in the household. It was generally assumed that the programme did not improve women access to land. To improve women access to land, in future, the study recommends that a serious intervention by the state should occur coupled with the revitalization of the programme and a paradigm shift towards an effective food security programme which emphasizes women and their important role in agriculture.

This study explores women’s access to land under the customary tenure system. It examines how the changes in land tenure, access and rights to land as a consequence of HIV/AIDS are affecting agricultural productivity, food security and poverty, with a specific focus on women who have lost their husbands to HIV/AIDS in Zvimba. Zvimba is a village community located in Zvimba District in the Mashonaland West Province of Zimbabwe. The study also discusses policy responses designed to cushion the impact of HIV/AIDS on local communities especially women living with HIV/AIDS. The study highlights the vulnerability of widows to land rights violations, mainly inflicted by relatives but sometimes by the wider community. The main form of abuse encountered included the use of abusive language, threats of evictions and at times, beatings. The legal route for seeking redress was rarely used. Fear of witchcraft, low educational levels and fear of causing conflict between children and their paternal relatives also led widows to abandon the fight for their rights. The study further reveals that widows are heavily exposed to dispossession of their land rights. HIV/AIDS has increased the vulnerability of widows and other women to threats and dispossession of their land and other property rights. Dispossession of arable fields was observed in the four wards. The dispossessions and threats to livelihoods were directly related to the HIV positive status of the widows. The findings from this study illustrate the predominant role that male members of the household or family have over land. Thus, culture and traditional practices still affect women in other cases, disadvantaging them in favour of men, as in inheritance of land and property in the household.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates inheritance among landowning families in the parish of Estuna in east-central Sweden between 1810 and 1930. The patterns of action examined in the study are analyzed as strategies in terms of objectives and principles on the one hand, and means towards these objectives and principles on the other. Before 1885, strategies were based on family interest. The individual’s dependency on inheritance was strong: a fact manifesting itself e.g. in the strong connections between inheritance and matrimonial patterns. The principal goal of the family strategies was to accomplish a transfer of the estate under sustainable conditions to one of the heirs, preferably – but not necessarily – a son. After 1845, as a response to institutional and social change, forms of conveyance changed. For example, after the introduction of equal rights of inheritance between sons and daughters in 1846, the number of quasi-commercial sales of land directly to sons increased, as a way of circumventing judicial demands. Yet this change of action in no way counter-acted the comprehensive goals and principles of inheritance. On the contrary, it was a means to overcome new difficulties in accomplishing these goals. After 1885, inheritance strategies reflected individual, rather than collective, aims. Estates were parcelled and the lots sold by the heirs at a profit. Furthermore, matrimony no longer showed connection with the spouses’ respective inheritance. This development was a result of institutional developments as well as of economic change, both diminishing paternal power. Industrialization had created openings outside domestic agriculture, and so individuals became less dependent on family and family resources. During this period, the older generation tended to keep their estates as long as possible, and this was read as a defensive strategy aimed at continued maintenance of estates within the family.

Esta tese investiga o estudo da (re) criação do campesinato em área de latifúndio a partir da fragmentação da terra por herança e doação em Rondonópolis/MT. Ela aborda as ações resultantes desse processo, e particularmente o significado desta conquista pelos sujeitos sociais. Rondonópolis é um município onde impera grandes latifúndios e uma enorme concentração fundiária, aliás, uma marca no território brasileiro. Nele está também presente, a expansão dos movimentos sociais no campo representados pelos assentamentos criados pelo Estado. A importância desta pesquisa deriva do processo de surgimento de áreas de fragmentação dos latifúndios que foram adquiridos por migrantes no auge da venda de terras pelo governo de Mato Grosso em meados do Século XX. As áreas pesquisadas têm como peculiaridade mais de quarenta e sete anos de história, pois estão nas mãos das mesmas famílias, passando de geração para geração. Este processo gerou paulatinamente, a transformação do latifúndio em pequenas propriedades. Nestes espaços os membros das famílias têm a preocupação em não deixar o patrimônio sair do domínio familiar. O estudo foi realizado nas localidades de Bananal, Beroaba, Belém, Aldeinha, Pequi, Núcleo Colonial de Naboreiro e Vila Bueno, no município de Rondonópolis-MT, e abrangeu cinco propriedades que se formaram pela junção de dez unidades através da compra e ou doação e que hoje estão divididas em sessenta e seis pequenas propriedades. Os resultados deste trabalho revelaram que a fragmentação tem seus benefícios, mas por outro lado, tem também suas conseqüências negativas, embora diferenciadas, do risco de formação de minifúndios.This thesis research the (re)creation of peasant farming agriculture, in latifundium areas, through land fragmentation, by heritage and donation in Rondonópolis-MT. It analyze the actions resulting from this process, and emphasize the meaning of this conquer by the social actors. The importance of this work is based on the fact that Rondonópolis is a municipality with a great land area concentration, similar to great part of Brazilian territory. It also includes the expansion of social field movements, represented by many settlements created by the State. The importance of this research is related to the process of latifundium fragmentation, acquired by migrants in the peak of land selling by the government of Mato Grosso State in the middle of XX century. The researched areas have got a singular history aspect. More than 47 years has been kept in the same family ownership, from one to the next generation. This way, gradually have been changing from latifundium to small farming areas, therefore the family members are concerned about not to permit the properpty going out of family control. The study was carried out in the Rondonópolis municipality and in the Bananal, Beroaba, Belém, Aldeinha, Pequi, Nucleo Colonial de Naboreiro e Vila Bueno regions. It comprehends five properties that has been originated adding up (10) ten different areas through purchase and/or donation, otherwise now a days are divided in (66) sixty six small farming areas. The main results of this work have shown that the land fragmentation process has got their profits, but on the other hand can bring negative effects, although different.

Resumo: O objetivo dessa tese é conhecer os mecanismos que determinavam a dinâmica agrária em uma sociedade rural tradicional. A partir da análise de registros paroquiais (casamentos, batismos e terras), processos judiciais e inventários, percebemos que essa engrenagem passava longe de uma racionalidade econômica moderna, e mais perto de um sistema denominado, por alguns autores, de 'economia moral¿. Sendo assim, situamos as condições de formação dessa economia moral, e buscamos entender como ela se sustentou e geriu com relativa autonomia a circulação de terras, até bastante avançado o século XIX. Para entender sua formação, são analisadas as relações dinâmicas entre o contexto sócio-econômico, as estratégias familiares e a produção agrícola no século XVIII, com ênfase nos senhores de engenhos de açúcar do Recôncavo da Guanabara. Em seguida, são caracterizados os elementos básicos desse sistema normativo: a centralidade do senhor de engenho, a herança preferencial, a vontade do testador, os intercâmbios estratégicos entre parentela consangüínea, matrimonial e ritual, a hierarquia dos direitos de uso e os compromissos corporativos assumidos pela 'casa' em relação ao direito de subsistência de seus membros. Verificamos que a efetividade dessa moral local conferia à estrutura agrária da região características originais e bastante estáveis no tempo, tornando-a capaz de adaptar-se ou superar parte das dificuldades impostas tanto pela conjuntura econômica quanto por suas próprias contradições. Analisamos a funcionalidade das fazendas pro indiviso, dos sítios e da hierarquia de acesso às terras livres. Verificamos também o funcionamento da moral tradicional e suas respostas nos conflitos sobre a derrubada de matos e o acesso a terras devolutas. Discutimos as variantes senhoriais impostas pela crise econômica e pela fragmentação das terras pela herança. Depois, analisamos os impactos do novo mercado de terras e dos interesses econômicos 'de fora¿ sobre essa moral tradicional. Por fim, se discutem os elementos geradores da ruptura desse sistema, não como processos alheios a vontade dos homens, mas como manipulações estratégicas nos direitos costumeiros por parte de agentes locais
Abstract: This dissertation aims to investigate the mechanisms which determined the agrarian dynamics in a traditional rural society. Based on parish records (weddings, baptisms and lands), lawsuits and inventories, it was observed that this organization was far from being ruled by a modern economic rationality; instead, it approached a system named ¿moral economy¿ by some authors. The study seeks to establish the conditions whereby this moral economy was formed, in an attempt to understand how it supported itself and managed the circulation of lands with relative autonomy throughout the 19th century. In order to understand its formation, special emphasis was placed on the sugar mills masters from the Recôncavo da Guanabara. Subsequently, a characterization of the basic elements of this normative system is provided: the central role played by the sugar mill master, the preferential inheritance, the willingness of the testator, the strategic exchanges among consanguineous, matrimonial and fictitious relatives, the hierarchy in the usage right, and the corporative commitments made by the ¿household¿, as far as the rights to subsistence of its members were concerned. It was observed that the effectiveness of this local moral rendered the agrarian structure of the region some original features, which were quite stable throughout time, making it possible for it to adjust to or overcome part of the difficulties imposed by both the economic situation and its own contradictions. An analysis of the functionality of the pro indiviso farms, the ranches and the hierarchy in the access to free lands was carried out. In addition, the functioning of the traditional moral and its responses to the conflicts over the clearing of thickets, the access to returned lands and invasion was verified. The image of the tenants led to an investigation of the reason why they had such an inferior social position in that moral hierarchy. The study also provides an analysis of the variants regarding the masters, which were imposed by the economic crisis and the fragmentation of the lands through inheritance, as well as an examination of the impact caused by the new land market and the ¿external¿ economic interests over this traditional moral. Finally, the elements responsible for this rupture are discussed, not as processes alien to the will of men, but rather as strategic manipulations of the customary rights by local agents

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates what the early modern donation system in Sweden reveals about the Crown’s expectations of the social group that served the state, and what these individuals expected from the Crown. The author shows how the Crown used donations of land rents to remunerate and reward individuals in its service. In 1680 the donation system was abolished and the Crown reclaimed everything that had been alienated. It was not until 1723 that the proprietors could address a specially appointed parliamentary commission (which ended in 1748) and challenge the Crown’s repossession. The deeds of donation and ratification, most issued during the period 1604 to 1680, as well as petitions submitted to the commission constitute the sources used in the investigation. A petition from the recipient usually preceded remunerations and the deeds drawn up by the Crown often refer to these letters. Petitioners accordingly referred to arguments used by the administration in Stockholm. This makes it possible, by direct and indirect methods, to study how both parties sought to change and influence the imagined compact between Crown and families in its service. The negotiation between the parties, studied over such a lengthy period, helps identify tendencies in the way the relation between state and its servants was changing. The thesis shows that there was a clear gender aspect to the process through which state formation happened. Even though most recipients were male, the deeds included his wife and children. Service and fidelity to the Crown was expected also from the descendants of the recipient. Accordingly, the Crown had both liabilities and duties to fulfil to the recipients family. We could say that in the eye of the Crown its servants were a family. The author also argues that the Crown used the donations to create and favour an informal fifth estate and how this policy influenced the shared ideas in society on merits versus ancestry. In the end of the period, however, the imagined compact was changing. The emerging state came with new claims to authority and the need to separate the Crown from its subjects at various levels (legal, political). As the compact became less personal family members were no longer included and women could no longer negotiate from their position within the family.

Full textAbstract:
Shetland boasts exceptionally well-preserved, but largely overlooked, field systems spanning a period of approximately 4000 years (Neolithic/Bronze Age – Viking/Norse). These have the potential to vastly increase our understanding of past agricultural practices and life styles. This study uses topographical survey, Shape Analysis, GIS, soil survey and micromorphology to answer questions relating to their location, form and function/management, pioneering the use of new tools and testing current models. An holistic landscape approach to the field systems is developed and tested against a multi-period site. Previously unknown types and periods of field systems are identified through survey and shape analysis, tools demonstrated to be valuable in refining the emerging model of field classification. GIS has illuminated pre-, during and post- construction factors influencing boundary form. New insights into location arise from the survey and GIS. Soils work has demonstrated that existing models of soil management over-simplify a complex situation, that thin acidic soils retain cultural information and that accretion was important to the sustainability of these peaty soils. While soils were sustainable over extended periods, the cultural inheritance of managed land appears to be limited. This thesis therefore presents the most holistic and comprehensive understanding of Shetland field systems which has so far been attempted.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 1 introduces the need for an updated study on the inheritance in the Pauline epistles, examines the history of research on this topic, and states the thesis of this dissertation. Then it explains the method that will be employed to examine the relevant inheritance texts and provides an overview of the dissertation.
Chapter 2 argues that typology and intertextuality are significant for interpreting the inheritance in Paul. Thus it explains these hermeneutical concepts before moving on to an analysis of the pertinent texts.
Chapter 3 contends that in Genesis to Chronicles the central understanding of the inheritance is the land of Canaan promised to Abraham and his descendants (e.g.Gen 15:3-5, 17:8; 21:10), the territory to which Israel sojourned and established a kingdom.
Subsequently, chapter 4 displays that the Psalms and Prophets expand the inheritance to include the eschatological world (e.g., Ps 2; Isa 54, 65-66). When God's people enter their inheritance, David's royal descendent will reign over them forever (Ezek 36-37; cf. Dan 7).
Chapter 5 demonstrates that the Second Temple literature, in line with the Psalms and Prophets, expands the inheritance to include the whole world (e.g., Sir 44:21; Jub. 22:14, 32:19). This is the place to which God's people will be resurrected to dwell (e.g., 4 Ezra 7) and over which Messiah will reign (e.g., 1 En. 51:1-5; 1QHª 14:29-31).
Chapter 6 argues that Paul's interpretation of the inheritance in Galatians follows that of the Old Testament and Second Temple literature, for he views this theme to be the renewed world (3:15-29; 4:21-31) where God will establish his lasting monarchy (4:1-7). Paul also suggests that the Spirit will see to it that believers receive their future inheritance (4:1-7).
Chapter 7 then examines the pertinent passages in Romans and other Pauline texts, confirming the observations about the inheritance in Galatians.
Chapter 8 summarizes the findings of each chapter and affirms the thesis of this dissertation.

The National Development Council of the Executive Yuan has been stressing on the “Fully promote the transformation of government service processes” program since 2015, in order to create a more convenient and effective civil service. The policy includes: focusing on functions closely relating to the people; exploiting information technology; comprehensively reviewing administrative processes and working towards cross-agency collaborations to streamline administrative processes. “Land Inheritance Registration” is a key function in transfer of property rights. The process involves reviews in multiple agencies related to respective rights and obligations. There are various steps to accomplish land inheritance. First, one has to declare the Estate Tax to the National Tax Administration, Ministry of Finance. Second, he/she has to then apply for Land Value Tax arrears verification at all the local Tax Collection Agencies where the properties are located, to ensure no outstanding tax relating to these properties. The third is to register with the Land Administration Office where the properties are located, with the paper works collected from the first two steps. The current procedure relies on issuance or paper certificates by various government agencies, and transfer of these papers by the applicant from counter to counter, at various locations. It consumes time and human resources for both applicants and the agencies. Based on various e-Government and service process transformation concepts, in addition to exploiting the opportunities brought by modern technologies, this study attempts to look into the bottlenecks of the current process, and proposal a set of solutions. The proposal is expected to reduce service contact points, streamline the administrative processes of the National Tax Administration and Land Administrations, as well as the people. Feasibility study reveals that it might result in significant time savings, improved service quality and user satisfaction.

In order to urge the inheritor to register their inherited land, on every 1st of April of the year, provide by the accordance of Tax Administration, the Land Administration Office would precede proclamation on the information of land and building improvement that were unregistered for more than one year. The proclamation period was three months. After the period, unregistered inheritor would be listed by the authority, and such unregistered land and building improvements would be listed by the local Land Offices. After 15 years of listing, the real estate inheritance of unregistered inheritor would be auctioned publically by the National Property Administration in accordance with Clause 73-1 of the Land Law. The aim of Clause 73-1 of the Land Law seeks to urge the inheritor to register their inherited land in order to achieve land usage efficiency. Clause 759 of the Civil Law stated that, “Due to inheritance, compulsory execution, expropriation or court order; by obtaining right in rem of the real estate before registration, it should receive disposition of right in rem through registration”. Clause 765 of the Civil Law further stated that, “Within the scope of regulation, every person should enjoy free usage, receive profit, dispose of right, and exclude interference from other”. The inheritor should receive disposition of real estate through registration, and there were fine penalty for overdue at present moment. By defining the public auction as a tool to urge inheritor to register their overdue real estate, it would be a measure of punishment. However, if the aim of public auction was to encourage land usage efficiency, such nature would be eliminating the ownership right of the inheritor. Therefore, would such measure be complied with the principle of proportionality of the Law? The perspective of property right protection for such clause should be inspected by accordance of the constitution.

In order to control a continuous rise on the high price of domestic house and land in recent ten years, the immovable property of short-term holding at the time of the transfer was levied by the authorities with luxurious tax since 1, June 2011. But, some disputable problems occur that the rule executed has violated the principle of tax capability. In the next year, the tax levied on real price is established with the real price registration. Furthermore, executing the integrated housing and land tax instead of the luxurious tax on 1, Jan.2016, and the gains realized from the sale of land was canceled income tax exemption to not only reform the tax system but also achieve the most important purpose of the principle of tax capability. However, the tax base of the integrated housing and land tax is the actually trade price of house and land. As a land sale would be levied the Land Value Increment Tax in existence, the basis of calculation of the housing and land tax is the price actually paid, but buying costs, selling fees and the total incremental value of the land should be deducted to avoid double tax. The most disputable problem that there is no payment when the holders received an inheritance or donation, and the announced present value of land and the declared current value of house are considered as buying costs regulated by the Income Tax Act and the relative regulations. Although the laws were made by theory, but there are some disputable problems on the operation system caused the research to begin. The price of immovable properties could be checked from real price registration or trade contract since 1, Aug. 2012. After the integrated housing and land tax executed, it is still a confused problem that the cost and holding-term calculated whether combined or not when the holder received an inheritance or donation. Thus, this article was researched and analyzed the unreasonable point of present regulation with the cases of disputable problem. The research has found some unreasonable points with the method of qualitative in-depth interviews with the experts of Industry, Official and University. The unreasonable points were found as follows: the real prices ought to be the buying costs, but the announced present value of land and the declared current value of house are considered as buying costs instead, that is against the principle of real estate tax; the continuous household registration over six years of an immovable property could be exempted by self-use residential rate, let the regulations relaxing should be appropriated to the real situation of society; the holding-term of a donation from the lineal relative could be calculated combined like the holder received an inheritance; one of the special problem cases, a holder just obtained the only immovable property as a self-use residential, but he or she died within a short time later, that the inheritor received an inheritance under pressure. Finally, the suggestions for the equitable tax system are not only the interpretation issue to explain the practical problems but also the regulation amendment to achieve the principle of tax capability and the principle of real estate tax in the further future.

Full textAbstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhDThe thesis examines the characteristics of land tenure among African families with freehold title who trace their relationship to the land to their forebears who first acquired title in the mid-nineteenth century. The evidence was drawn from two field sites in the Eastern Cape, Fingo Village, Grahamstown and Rabula in the Keiskammahoek district of the former Ciskei. The evidence, supported by evidence in other Anglophone countries, shows that African familial relationships reminiscent of ‘customary’ concepts of the family, were not, and are not extinguished when title is issued, though they are altered. Africans with title regard the land as family property held by unilineal descent groups, challenging the western notion of one-to-one proprietal relationships to the land and its devolution. By exploring the intersection between tenure, use and devolution of land, the main findings reveal that local conceptions of land and use diverge considerably from the formal, legal notion of title. Title holders conceive of their land as the property of all recognised members of a patrilineally defined descent group symbolised by the family name. Because freehold is so intimately linked with inheritance, the findings significantly illuminate the social field of gender and kinship. The implications of the findings are that differing concepts of the ‘family’ and ‘property’ are fundamental to the lack of ‘fit’ between the common-law concept of ownership and what I term in the thesis ‘African freehold’. The thesis dissects the implications of culturally constructed variability in familial identities for recognition and transmission of property. Title is legally regulated by Eurocentric notions of both family and property, which lead to significant divergence between western and African interpretations of ownership, transmission and spatial division of land. The deficiencies of the South African legal mindset with regard to property law are thus fundamentally affected by the deficiencies in recognising the broader field of gender and kinship relations. The findings fundamentally challenge the dualistic paradigm currently prevalent in much of South African legal thinking, since the factors that are found to affect land tenure relationships cannot be reduced to the binary distinctions that are conventionally drawn in law, such as ‘western’ vs. ‘customary’ or ‘individual’ vs. iii ‘communal’ tenure. Instead, the important sources of validation of social (importantly, familial) and property relationships are found to be common to all property relationships, but are arranged and calibrated according to different normative patterns of recognition. In the case of the subjects in the field sites, these do not fit into the main ‘categories’ of property defined in law. Neither of the main bodies of official law, the common law and customary law, adequately characterise the relationships among the African freehold title holders. The source of legitimation is, therefore, not the ‘law’ but locally understood norms and practices. The findings suggest that the practices of the freeholders, derived from constructed ideas of kinship and descent, have relevance for a wide range of diverse African land tenure arrangements and categories, and not only ‘African freehold’. The findings therefore have significant implications for law reform more broadly. The thesis suggests that law reform should move away from models that do not match reality, and in particular should heed the warnings that titling policies as presently designed are particularly poorly aligned with the realities presented in the thesis.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines relationships between the social and physical environments of a village on Butaritari atoll in Kiribati. The system of ambilineal descent and land inheritance obtaining there results in complex networks of genealogical relationships which affect most aspects of social life, including land rights. While previous studies conducted in Kiribati have recognised the intimate connection between genealogy and land rights, none has investigated its ramifications for the distribution of land rights within a community. In contrast, this study engages that question as a central concern using a framework which integrates Bourdieu's concepts of social space, field and habitus with post-neo-Darwinian ideas about the relationship between organism and environment. The social space was found to be primarily structured by relationships based upon genealogy and secondarily by age and gender, each of which constituted a field within the wider social space. The genealogical field was defined by a network of positions, each representing a particular descent group. In accordance with the prevailing system of ambilineal descent, residents could belong to more than one descent group and it was upon the resulting networks of relationships between descent groups that the disposition of those groups within the genealogical field was defined. Because land-use rights were associated with genealogical connections the reconstruction of the genealogical field encompassing all of the village residents was a necessary precursor to discovering the distribution of those rights and the genealogical field was a central point of articulation between the social and physical spaces. The fields of age and gender relations provided further points of articulation between the social and physical spaces, the natures of which are examined through discussion of the material culture of the village and village and island politics. Despite a contemporary ideology of egalitarianism there were vestiges of a former hierarchy of social status groups. While the inter-group obligations, rights and responsibilities associated with this hierarchy were no longer practised, the association of contemporary residents with those social status groups bore a relationship to their position within the genealogical field and the amounts of land to which they shared rights.

Full textAbstract:
This diploma thesis [in the master's course], drawn up at the Faculty of Law of Charles University in Prague, deals with the principles of the law of inheritance in Bohemia prior to its codification in 1811. Although inheritance law is one of the oldest branches of law, and was very thoroughly developed in ancient Roman law, in our territory it actually started to develop some more only after the Hussite movement. That is due to the fact that in the Middle Ages, the prevailing concepts were the ruler's right to bona vacantia and family indivisible ownership ["rodinný nedíl" in Czech], both of which did not really make it possible to pass estate from the deceased to their heirs. Therefore the aim of the thesis is to examine and gain a deeper insight into the historical development and historical contexts of the law of inheritance in our territory, which had preceded its modern form that was first codified in Allgemeines bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [the General Civil Code], which accepted the structure of the Inheritance Patent of Joseph II in 1811. Part One of the thesis, Introduction, briefly discusses the law of inheritance as a specific element of legal science, the principles of inheritance law, and inheritance conditions and titles.

Full textAbstract:
Raps (Brassica napus L.) ist heute die drittwichtigste Ölfrucht weltweit. Einer der Hauptgründe für die große Anbaubedeutung liegt in der Züchtung von Sorten mit niedrigem Gehalt an Glucosinolaten (GSL) im Samen, welche die Koppelnutzung des Öls und des Rapskuchens in der Tierfütterung möglich machte. GSL sind schwefelhaltige, sekundäre Pflanzeninhaltsstoffe und ein Charakteristikum der Familie der Kreuzblütler, zu der Raps zählt. Die Funktion der GSL in der Pflanze wird zusammen mit dem sie abbauenden Enzym Myrosinase als konstitutiver Abwehrmechanismus gegenüber unspezifischen Fraßfeinden gesehen, dem sogenannten Glucosinolat-Myrosinase System. Raps wird aber auch von Schädlingen befallen, die speziell nur Kreuzblütler als Wirtspflanzen akzeptieren. Bei einigen spezialisierten Schädlingsarten der Kreuzblütler konnte gezeigt werden, dass GSL oder ihre Abbauprodukte einen Einfluss auf das Verhalten bei der Wirtspflanzenwahl, bei der Eiablage oder beim Fraß haben können. Es besteht also die Möglichkeit, dass über GSL in der Grünmasse eine quantitative Resistenz gegenüber Schadinsekten vermittelt wird und die genetische Variation von GSL im Rapsgenpool eine natürliche Resistenzquelle darstellt. Jedoch ist die Vererbung der GSL in Blatt und Stängel im Gegensatz zu den GSL im Samen wenig untersucht.
Die Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit bestand daher einerseits in der Evaluierung von GSL-Gehalten und -mustern als potentielle Resistenzfaktoren gegenüber den spezialisierten Rapsschädlingen „Großer Rapsstängelrüssler“ (Ceutorhynchus napi) und „Gefleckter Kohltriebrüssler“ (Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus) und andererseits in einer genetischen Analyse der GSL-Gehalte in Blatt und Stängel. Dazu wurden dreijährige Feldversuche an vier Standorten durchgeführt, in denen 28 genetisch sehr unterschiedliche Genotypen, darunter 15 Rapsresynthesen und 13 ältere und neuere Zuchtsorten hinsichtlich der Variation von GSL-Gehalten und –Zusammensetzungen in Grünmasse und Samen und deren Anfälligkeit gegenüber den beiden Rapsstängelschädlingen evaluiert wurden. Die Daten des Schädlingsbefalls wurden in der Abteilung Agrarentomologie erhoben und entstammen der parallel durchgeführten Dissertation von Schäfer-Kösterke (2015). Um die Selektionsmöglichkeiten auf unterschiedliche GSL-Gehalte in Samen und Grünmasse zu eruieren, wurde die Vererbung von GSL in einem weiteren Experiment mit Hilfe einer DH-Population untersucht. Die Hauptfrage dieser QTL-Kartierung war, inwieweit am GSL-Stoffwechsel beteiligte Genomregionen sich zwischen Stängeln, Blättern und Samen unterscheiden.
In der Auswertung der Versuchsserie zur Variation der GSL konnte für die elf identifizierte GSL eine große genetische Variation mit hohen Heritabilitäten festgestellt werden. Als großer Einflussfaktor auf die GSL-Gehalte der Genotypen erwies sich das Entwicklungsstadium der Pflanzen: Die über 28 Genotypen gemittelten GSL-Gesamtgehalte in der Grünmasse nahmen vom ersten Probenahmetermin von 18 µmol im Schossen zum zweiten auf 4 µmol bei Blühbeginn ab. Weiterhin hatten Samen im Mittel der Genotypen um 47 µmol höhere GSL-Gehalte als die Grünmasse, und Stängel um ca. 3 µmol höhere Gehalte als Blätter. Auch die mittlere GSL-Zusammensetzung der Genotypen unterschied sich deutlich zwischen Samen und Grünmasse, jedoch nicht zwischen den zwei Probenahmeterminen. Zusätzlich hatten Standort und Jahr einen Einfluss, wobei in den Jahren 2012 und 2013 die Standorteffekte größer als die der Jahre waren. Zwischen den Pflanzenteilen Blatt und Stängel bestand eine hohe Korrelation von 0,96 für den GSL-Gesamtgehalt. Zwischen Samen und Grünmasse war die Beziehung für die GSL-Gesamtgehalte mit 0,60 weniger deutlich und für die Gruppe der indolischen GSL mit 0,14 nicht mehr vorhanden. Die komplexe zeitliche und räumliche Verteilung der GSL innerhalb der Pflanze wird im Zusammenhang mit der Bedeutung von Transportprozessen diskutiert.
Bei der Untersuchung der Beziehung zwischen dem Befall durch Stängelschädlinge und GSL stellte sich heraus, dass der natürliche Schädlingsdruck im Freiland mit durchschnittlich 2,6 Rapsstängelrüsslerlarven pro Pflanze und 2,8 Kohltriebrüsslerlarven pro Pflanze sehr niedrig war. Daher konnte eine Differenzierung der Genotypen im Rapsstängelrüsslerbefall nur an einem Standort in den Jahren 2012 und 2013 statistisch abgesichert werden. Für den Kohltriebrüsslerbefall gab es an keinem Standort statistisch absicherbare, genotypische Unterschiede. In den beiden ausgewerteten Umwelten zeigten sich keine signifikanten Beziehungen zwischen GSL-Gesamtgehalt, Alkenyl-GSL, Indol-GSL oder den elf einzelnen GSL und dem Befall mit Rapsstängelrüsslerlarven pro Pflanze. Hauptkomponentenanalysen und Vergleiche zwischen unter-schiedlich stark befallenen Gruppen von Genotypen ließen ebenfalls nicht auf lineare Zusammenhänge zwischen GSL-Gehalten oder -Zusammensetzungen und der Wirtspflanzenpräferenz des Rapsstängelrüsslers oder auch des Stängelfraßes der Larven schließen. Allerdings fiel die Resynthese S30 in beiden ausgewerteten Umwelten durch eine niedrige Anzahl an Rapsstängelrüssler-larven und einen niedrigen Anteil Minierfraß auf. GSL-Zusammensetzung und GSL-Gesamtgehalt von S30 zeigten jedoch keine Besonderheiten.
Für die Kartierung von am GSL-Stoffwechsel beteiligten Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) wurden GSL in Blatt, Stängel und Samen von 120 DH-Linien der DH-Population ‚L16 x Express‘ untersucht. Die beiden Populationseltern L16 und Express unterscheiden sich nicht nur durch unterschiedliche GSL-Gesamtgehalte im Samen (L16 59,0 µmol vs. Express 26,4 µmol) und in der Grünmasse (L16 1,1 µmol vs. Express 6,2 µmol), sondern auch in der relativen Zusammensetzung von Alkenyl- und Indol-GSL (L16 31 % Indol-GSL vs. Express 10 % Indol-GSL). Die über zwei Orte gemittelten GSL-Gehalte der Population waren zum Knospenstadium in der Grünmasse mit 5,4 µmol in Stängeln und 3,7 µmol in Blättern sehr niedrig, zur Reife in den Samen mit 48,6 µmol jedoch hoch. Die Heritabilitäten der Merkmale mit signifikanter genotypischer Variation lagen im Stängel zwischen 0,64 und 0,86, im Blatt zwischen 0,55 und 0,89 und im Samen zwischen 0,70 und 0,98. Die Korrelationen der GSL-Gesamtgehalte zwischen Blatt und Stängel lag bei 0,95, diejenige zwischen Stängel (Blatt) und Samen bei 0,52 (0,53). Die erstellte Kopplungskarte enthielt 4003 SNP-Marker, deren 19 Kopplungsgruppen 2050 centiMorgan abdeckten. Der mittlere Abstand zwischen zwei Markern lag bei 2 cM. Es wurden insgesamt 115 QTL gefunden von denen 49 QTL für die GSL-Gehalte im Samen, 35 QTL für die Gehalte im Stängel und 31 QTL für die Gehalte im Blatt verantwortlich waren. Für aliphatische GSL zeigten sich drei Hauptregionen auf den Kopplungsgruppen A03, C02 und C09. Während auf A03 und C09 QTL aus allen Pflanzenteilen lokalisiert wurden, regulierten die QTL auf C02 spezifisch die Gehalte im Samen. Für Indol GSL-Gehalte von Blatt und Stängel existierten zwei Hauptregionen auf den Kopplungs-gruppen A02 und C07, welche von denen im Samen (auf A03, C02 und C05) getrennt lokalisiert waren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass 1) die Akkumulation von aliphatischen und indolischen GSL durch gentrennte Genomregionen gesteuert wurde, 2) GSL-Gehalte in Blatt und Stängel durch identische Genomregionen kontrolliert wurden und 3) die GSL-Akkumulation im Samen teils von den gleichen Regionen des Genoms wie in Blatt und Stängel, teils aber auch durch für Samen spezifische Genomregionen reguliert wurde.
