Abstract:
Contemporary events frequently call into question the status of state-recognized Native nations. For example, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) failed to pass a resolution dissolving state-recognized membership; and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has reported on the reality of federal funding being awarded to non-federally recognized Native nations. Although state-recognized Native nations are handicapped in their strategies and the availability of resources to assert their right to self-determine, some have persevered despite the inability to establish a direct relationship with the national government. Reconsidering federalism as it pertains to Native nations reveals opportunities for non-federally recognized Native nations to access resources and assert self-governing authority in alternative arenas outside the exclusive tribal-national government-to-government relationship. My research analyzes how two state-recognized Native nations, the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and the Waccamaw Indian People of South Carolina, have operated as political actors; have maintained their communities; have organized politically and socially; and have asserted their right to self-determine by engaging state—and at certain times federal—politics to address needs within their communities. I used a qualitative case study approach to examine the strategies these two state-recognized Native nations have developed to engage state relationships. I argue that state-recognized Native nations are developing significant political relationships with their home states and other entities, such as federal, state, and local agencies, and nonprofits, to address issues in their communities.

Full text
Abstract:
Louise Erdrich's novel Love Medicine presents a variety of voices that depict thetruths of Chippewa life and how they as a group are victims of a society that authorizesoppression and domination. Studies show that Chippewa tribes have a close connectionto nature and with each other as people. Ecofeminist critics draw analogies between theexploitation of nature and the oppression of groups such as those based on race, class,and sexuality, which results in a distortion of Native people's identity and connection tonature. Since the characters and nature are both oppressed and exploited by the U.Sgovernment, it becomes relevant to draw parallels between Erdrich's characters andnature with ecofeminism. The analysis concludes that ecofeminism can be applied toErdrich's novel because they share some values such as the importance of striving forinterconnection between humans and nature to free both from the power structure. TheChippewa characters and the U.S government can be identified in ecofeminist discourseas a set of dualisms. However, there are also some differences between ecofeminismand the way in which Erdrich depicts her Chippewa characters and nature. Erdrich’sstory shows that both female and male characters of Chippewa origin possess a sacredrelationship to Mother Earth, not only women, as ecofeminists would suggest.

Abstract:
Hållbarhet är ett viktigt koncept i dagens samhälle där TBL teorin blivit allt mer använd av företag. TBL teorin är uppdelad i tre perspektiv, people, planet och profit. Digitaliseringen av revisionsbranschen har på senare tid genomgått stora förändringar. Informations och kommunikationsteknologier (IKT) är ett område inom digitalisering som används flitigt inom revision. Frågan om IKT påverkar revisorns hållbara arbete utifrån TBL teorin har vi inte funnit någon forskning om. För att undersöka syftet med studien har en kvantitativ ansats applicerats och data har samlats in via en webbaserad enkätundersökning vilket revisorer och revisorsassistenter på olika revisionsbyråer deltagit i. Enkätens frågor formulerades utifrån den beroende variabeln revisorns hållbara arbete och den oberoende variabeln IKT. Enkäten undersökte även fyra kontrollvariabler. Resultatet från studien visar på att IKT har en positiv påverkan på revisorns hållbara arbete. Inga kontrollvariabler påverkar sambandet mellan IKT och revisorns hållbara arbete. Dessutom anser revisorer att people, planet och profit är viktiga begrepp och arbetar mycket med samtliga. Profit anses dock vara viktigast och planet anses vara minst viktig. Tidsramen för att slutföra studien och revisorernas högsäsong har begränsat enkätens svarsfrekvens. Detta är något som framtida forskning bör ha i åtanke för att kunna undersöka ämnet ytterligare.
Sustainability is an important concept within today’s society whereas the TBL theory has become increasingly useful by companies. The TBL theory is divided into three perspectives which are people, planet and profit. Lately digitalization of the accounting profession has been through some big changes. Information and communication technologies (ICT) is a field within digitalization that is used diligently within audit. The question if ICT effects the auditors sustainable work using the TBL theory is something that we have not found any research about. To examine the purpose of the study a quantitative approach has been applicated and data has been collected using an online survey that auditors and auditor assistants on different firms has been a part of. The surveys questions were formulated from the dependent variable, the audits sustainable work and the independent variable, ICT. The survey also examined four control variables. The result from the study showed that ICT has a positive effect on the auditors´ sustainable work. Where no control variables effected the correlation between ICT and the auditors´ sustainable work. The auditors also consider people, planet and profit to be important concepts and works a lot with all of them. Profit, however, is considered the most important and planet is considered the least important. The time frame to finish the study and the peak season for auditors has limited the surveys response rate. This is something that future research should consider to be able to investigate the subject further.

Abstract:
This review aims to comment the content of the publication “Tribal Peoples for Tomorrow’s World” by Stephen Corry through a critical view and academic perspective. The knowledge of indigenous groups is of vital need in the South and Central American context because of the important amount of indigenous population that lives in these countries.  Only in Peru, four million indigenous people were counted in the last national census. Stephen Corry’s book is relevant because it provides a general outlook about the history and contemporary problematic of indigenous people and tribes. However, the lack of references to lay the foundations of his arguments is noticeable, making them seem superficial, extremely general and subjective in occasions. Even so, this book might prove to be a rich starting point for those who are interested in knowing more about indigenous people, using it as a non-academic guide and reference material on general culture about the subject. It is written in simple, emotive style, easy to read and with potential to contribute to the propagation of knowledge about these human groups and their past and present quandry, which is not unrelated to those of other human groups.
Esta reseña busca comentar el contenido de la publicación Pueblos indígenas para el mundo de mañana, de Stephen Corry, a través de una mirada crítica y desde una perspectiva académica. El conocimiento de los pueblos indígenas es de vital importancia en el contexto sur y centro americanocentroamericano, debido a la importante población indígena de estos países. Solo en el Perú habitaban en el 2007, 4 millones de personas de origen indígena, según el censo del Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (- INEI). El libro de Stephen Corry es relevante porque aporta un panorama general sobre los pueblos indígenas, su historia y problemáticas contemporáneas. Sin embargo, consideramos que en ocasiones la aproximación hacia los hechos llega a ser muy general y subjetiva, quedando en lo superficial por la falta de referencias. A pesar de ello, este libro puede ser un punto de partida interesante y rico para aquellos interesados en conocer más sobre los pueblos indígenas, constituyéndose en una guía no académica y de cultura general sobre el tema. Está escrito en un lenguaje sencillo y de fácil lectura, con capacidad de alcanzar a más lectores y contribuir al conocimiento de la problemática que atraviesan estos pueblos ahora y a lo largo de la historia, que no está separada de la problemática de otros grupos humanos.

Abstract:
Forest dwellers in most parts of the world live in close association with the forests. Of late, relentless pressure on these forests has brought their own survival into question. Deforestation of tropical forests has brought into focus different strategies of forestry development for such areas and participation of people in these strategies. Since its inception in late sixties social forestry as a strategy of forestry development aims to close this gap. The thesis aims to analyse attitudes of tribal people towards their participation in the social forestry approaches in use in Madhya Pradesh, India, through analyses of their socio-economic system, their interaction with forests, and their perceptions about forests, forest management and social forestry. The study is based on primary data collected through a household survey in 24 villages in the tribal areas of Nimar, Madhya Pradesh. The results indicate that a household level approach to planning social forestry is essential with a view to involve the people in the developmental strategy. The socio-economic factors play a significant role in framing the attitudes of the households towards adopting social forestry within their system. Lack of irrigation is a major constraint among all household categories. The interaction of households with forests also has an influence on their attitudes in some cases. The pattern of interaction is similar for a large majority of both landholders and landless households. However, their perceptions are found to be significantly different. Their perceptions do play some degree of influence in influencing their attitudes. While their participation in social forestry has been low, the tribal households do show strong inclination towards social forestry with many factors influencing their attitudes. Farm forestry and Joint Forest Management appear as the two most favourable approaches. An application of logistic regression has been suggested as a planning methodology to ascertain the probability of participation at the household level. The proposed methodology should be considered as a topic of future research.

A research project submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for B.A. Honours degree in the Department of History at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 1995.
AbaKwaMthethwa form a very important component of the Zulu nation as we know it today. They were in fact the vanguards in the implementation of the idea of a confederation of smaller states (clans) under one supreme ruler or a king who become their overlord. The history of abaKwaMthethwa is so wide that one would need volumes to do justice to it. This project is only going to deal with their movement from around uBombo mountains round about AD 1500 to 1818 when king Dingiswyo was assassinated by Zwide, inkosi of the Ndwandwe people. This project will furthermore concentrate on the life of Dingiswayo from the time he escaped death from his father. The project also seeks to examine the controversy surrounding Dingiswayo's formative journey. It is intended that Dingiswayo's influence and his contribution socially, politically, military and economically to the upliftment of the Mthethwa confederacy will be examined. Finally mention will be made of the royal imizi, some principal imizi not necessarily royal ones, as well as religious imizi that are to be found at KwaMthethwa.

The Maori urban drift after the Second World War has deeply altered New Zealand’s sociocultural landscape. This thesis explores one of its direct aftermath: the emergence of Maori gangs as an attempt to reterritorialise the surrounding space in a logic of differen-tiation from the established order. Therefore, breaking off with the European city and Maori ancestral traditions was required. In this respect, so called “Maori” gangs could and can no longer be thought as the extension of Maori tribalism and precolonial belli-cism. This type of analysis freezes the Maori into essentialist considerations. This thesis introduces the Maori gang in its historical contingent dimension and aims – without sup-porting the essentialist approach – at pinpointing its very effects on gang members’ daily practices and also on their relationship with wider society.The same gangs that wanted to create their own space ended up acknowledging their Maori heritage. As a result, the members were not only to rewrite the history of their or-ganisation, as they found out other origins, but also precontact Maori history as they in-troduced elements that are typical of contemporary street gangs

Abstract:
Ce document présente la réalisation du premier système tactile de substitution sensorielle neuromorphique, en venant fusionner le domaine des neuroprothèses avec celui de la substitution sensorielle. L’évolution du dispositif jusqu’à sa version la plus aboutie est détaillée. Le système est testé au sein de deux études. La première permet d’étudier la discrimination spatiale et temporelle des sujets. Il rend possible l’évaluation de la capacité de discrimination de mouvement d’un point via le dispositif porté sur le dos. Dans la deuxième étude, le système tactile neuromorphique est couplé à une rétine artificielle. Une étude clinique permet d’étudier l’évolution d’un tel dispositif dans un environnement plus complexe via un apprentissage progressif et personnalisé. Cette étude permet également d’évaluer les retours des sujets vis à vis de l’ergonomie d’un tel système. Dix non-voyants acquis et cinq bien-voyants ont participé à cette étude. Les sujets sont capables grâce à ce dispositif de détecter des objets en mouvement, de discriminer l’espacement entre des formes, de trouver une cible dans une salle à luminosité variable, de suivre un chemin signalé au sol et d’éviter un potentiel obstacle. Enfin, ce dispositif a reçu un retour positif de la part des sujets nonvoyants, avec le souhait de voir le système devenir moins encombrant et plus discret pour permettre une utilisation quotidienne
This document presents the conception of the first neuromorphic tactile sensory substitution device, merging the domains of neuroprosthetics and sensory substitution.After a presentation of the state of art of the domains at the core of this work, we will introduce the device and present its chronological evolution and technical choices. We will then in a second stage introduce the validation studies that have been carried out to test the tactile neuromorphic device on blind and healthy control patients. The first study relies on psychophysical tests carried out to evaluate the link between spatial and temporal resolution of the developed device. The test relied on the ability of subjects to detect the direction of motion of a point sent on the tactile belt contacting the back of the subject. In the second study, the neuromorphic tactile system is coupled with an artificial silicon retina. A clinical trial is performed to study the performances of the developed device in a more complex environments using an incremental learning method. This study also evaluates the subjects’ feedback on the ergonomics of such an equipment. Ten visually impaired and five well-sighted subjects were selected. Subjects were able to detect objects in motion, discriminate the spacing between shapes, find a target in a scene with variable brightness, follow a signaled path on the ground and even avoid potential obstacles

On an ongoing construction, during six years, since the elaboration of the project of the investigation till the conclusion of the thesis, established by the requirements of the doctorate course, I had been delineating the outlines of the object of study, circumscribed by the smiles of the poor young peoples that inhabit the suburban areas. The investigative focus, consubstantiated here in the structural process of this expositive text, falls upon the comprehensive disclosure of the senses and meanings of the smiles of poor young people that face processes of social exclusion and precarious social inclusions, within the present capitalist civilization, by the best tradition of the Sociology of the Absences and the Sociology of the Emergencies. This is an analytical work, done by the trails and routes configured by the contemporary thinkers, such as the basic references: Zygmunt Bauman, Michel Maffesoli, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and the analysts from the area of studies of young people by the ways of contemporary times, in XXI Century. This work is structured in five parts, following the expositive dynamics that I defined as the most fruitful in order to present thought, analysis, questions constructed by the circuits of the investigation, which are shown here: the approach of the introduction which I entitled: âPresenting the scientific work: as if it were an introductionâ; Chapter I named âWays and routes:the methodology and its processual constructionâ; Chapter II that deals with âThe smile of young peoples like an investigative phenomenon: conceptual marks and analytic perspectiveâ; Chapter III that consubstantiates the basis of the structure of the work with the title: âYoung peoples in contemporary times: delineating ways of analysisâ; Chapter IV that incorporates the discoveries and questions weaved by the texture of the theory/empiric aspects, named âSmiles of the young peoples in the suburban areas: the practice of the Sociology of the Absences and the Sociology of the Emergenciesâ; at last, I present conclusions to incorporate ways of the study that I entitled: âPlaces of arrival to glimpse new trips: as title of conclusionâ

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates the struggle for identity among the tribal people of North-East India with a special reference to the Kuki people of Manipur. It explores the cultural and religious traditions of the people and the changes brought to them in the process of western colonial administration and Christianization in the early part of the twentieth century.  It also investigates the socio-political and cultural situation of the people under the Independent India.  The thesis explores debates within sociology between primordialist and constructivist theoretical perspectives and concludes that, while identity is a social construct, it reflects the real socio-economic, cultural and political context within which it emerges and real struggles for justice and dignity on the part of marginalised peoples.  It is in this light that the current ethnic movements in North-East India are understood and their limitations are described and shown to result from the lack of a critical theological reflection.  This study demonstrates that Christianity, although playing an important role in the formation of the peoples’ identity in the new setting, neglected their traditional cultural values and hence became a factor contributing to the peoples’ identity crisis.  Dalit theology is taken as a dialogue partner in search of relevant theological response to the issue, but it is pointed out that while they have much in common, the additional task for tribal theology is to take into consideration the primal religious past as well as the difficult and complex socio-political realities shaping their present experience in a post-colonial, globalised world. The thesis outlines aspects of Kuki tradition which may contribute to a local theology and, in that process, can shape a new sense of identity, restoring dignity to the Kuki, while respecting the freedom and humanity of other peoples.

Abstract:
The intent of this exploratory study was to discover the cultural significance of an Apache ritual, the Sunrise Ceremony, as it relates to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the Apache individual, family, and community at large. The ethnographic methodology was used to gather data because this design provided the most systematic and flexible process to generate the widest range of information necessary for describing this culture from the native's point of view. Four culturally relevant domains were developed and analyzed to reveal five cultural themes, including "It's my strength," "Women are the core of living here," "It Tells You the Story of the Beginning," and "Change is Sad--Alcohol is Bad." The findings suggest that because the Sunrise Ceremony is central to the Apache way of life, its values and culture, an understanding of the Sunrise Ceremony can assist in the development of accurate nursing assessments and successful interventions to improve the collective health and well being of the Apache people. Additionally, recommendations for nursing practice and further research are proposed.

Clinical Characteristics Of People In Randomized Clinical Trials Of First Episode Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders: Attrition Versus Non-Attrition Groups Submitted by Joanne D. Wojcik PhD, RN Dissertation Advisor Judith Shindul-Rothschild, PhD, RN Abstract Background: Early identification of psychosis and intensive treatment has been the focus of the treatment of people with a first episode (FE) schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD). Attrition rates in studies of people in the first episode are high, which makes it difficult to understand the meaning of the study outcomes. High attrition rates affect the validity of a study by decreasing its power and the study's ability to detect differences between treatment groups. Additionally, the people who leave a study may be different from those who stay in demographic, illness and treatment characteristics. Method: This study is a secondary analysis of a group of FE SSD participants enrolled in one of three separate double-blind, randomized, drug trials. The variables were first analyzed across the three drug study data sets to determine if the patient populations are comparable across the three studies to allow for the merging of the data. Exploratory and descriptive statistics of study participants were conducted in a comparison of the three studies, for the merged group, and for the attrition and non-attrition groups. Effect sizes (Cohen's d) were calculated for each variable in the individual studies and in the merged dataset for the magnitude of difference between the attrition and non-attrition groups. Results: The three studies were merged after analysis found no consistent difference in demographic and illness characteristics between the three studies. There was no significant difference between the attrition and non-attrition groups in the merged data in demographic and illness characteristics. Treatment characteristics consistently found lack of efficacy and patient withdrawal of consent to be the two most frequent reasons for attrition from the studies. In addition, participants receiving a typical agent were less likely to complete the study. Effect size calculations found attrition group to more likely be Caucasian, with a lower median income. The attrition group had more years of education, but was not in school in the year previous to hospitalization. Conclusion: Historically, attrition is a major problem in clinical trials of people in a first episode of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. People receiving typical antipsychotic medication are more likely to leave a study. Most common reasons for attrition include lack of efficacy and withdrawal of consent

Offer, Frank Stanley. "Full participation in education and training to age 18 in England : perspectives from policy and life-worlds of young people." Thesis, Brunel University, 2013. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/7645.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis draws on the voices of the young people who will be affected by the government’s proposal to increase the age of participation in education and training to 18 by 2015, voices which are otherwise overlooked in policy formulation and much research. The young people most affected are those who currently do not participate in education or training after the age of 16. The thesis takes a phenomenological approach, building understanding from the young people’s perspectives of their life-worlds and their reasons for not participating and exploring their response to their particular circumstances as perceived by them. The thesis explores their understanding through focus groups held in one local authority in South East England, comprising urban and rural settings. The thesis highlights factors that impede young people’s participation from their own perspectives, which fall into three categories: physical factors; social factors; and emotional factors. Nationally, the government has confirmed its commitment to raising the participation age by 2015, yet many of the government’s policies are exacerbating the challenges that young people face. This study concludes that the barriers highlighted by young people in relation to physical factors; social factors; and emotional factors are neglected in the current policy drive to full participation to age 18 and this needs urgent attention if the policy is to succeed. The thesis proposes a model which is offered for future policy and practice development to give greater weight to the perspectives of young people in relation to participation as expressed in this research. There is a risk if their concerns are not addressed that young people who have experienced a failure by the system and associated damaged self esteem, are now further pathologised, and potentially criminalised, for failing to fulfil their duty to participate. Yet, a more holistic approach that addresses the broader issues highlighted by this research, could realise pathways into further education and training that redress some of the previous negative experience and restore their confidence for the future.

Full text
Abstract:
Among elderly people, falls lead to a considerable amount of immobility, morbidity, and mortality. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate methods for predicting falls, and to evaluate a fall prevention program among elderly people living in residential care facilities. A fall was defined as any event in which the resident unintentionally came to rest on the floor or the ground regardless of whether or not an injury was sustained. In developing the prediction methods, it was hypothesised that older persons showing difficulties in performing a familiar second task while walking were more likely to fall within six months. For residents who stopped walking when talking, the relative risk of falling was 3.5 (95% CL2.0-6.2) compared to those who continued walking. For residents with a time difference (diffTUG) of at least 4.5 seconds between two performances of the Timed Up&Go test, with and without carrying a glass, the hazard ratio for falls was 4.7 (95% Cl: 1.5-14.2) compared to those with a shorter diffTUG. A screening tool, the Mobility Interaction Fall (MIF) chart, was developed and evaluated, then validated in a new sample. This tool included a mobility rating, ‘Stops walking when talking’, ‘diffTUG’, a test of vision, and a concentration rating. In the first sample, the hazard ratio was 12.1 (95% 0:4.6-31.8) for residents classified as ‘high-risk’ compared to ‘low-risk’. The positive predictive value was 78%, and the negative predictive value, the sensitivity, and the specificity were above 80% for falling in six months. In the second sample the prediction accuracy of the MIF chart was lower (hazard ratio 1.7, 95% Cl: 1.1-2.5) and a 6-month fall history or a global rating of fall risk by staff were at least equally valuable. A combination of any two of the methods - the MIF chart, staff judgement, fall history - was more accurate at identifying high risk residents than any method alone. Half of the residents classified by two methods as ‘high risk’ sustained a fall within 6 months. In a randomised study a prevention program directed to residents, staff, and environment resulted in a significant reduction in the number of residents falling (44% vs. 56%; odds ratio 0.62, 95% CF0.41-0.92), the incidence of falls (incidence rate ratio IRR 0.80, 95% CF0.69-0.94) and of femoral fractures (IRR 0.25, 95% 0:0.08-0.82) in the intervention compared to the control group. In conclusion, a combination of any two of the staff judgement, fall history or MIF chart has the potential to identify a large proportion of residents at particular high fall risk. A multidisciplinary and multifactorial fall prevention program directed to residents, staff, and the environment can reduce the numbnumber of residents falling, of falls and of femoral fractures.

Abstract:
A dissertação propõe o estudo da cultura material - representada pela arquitetura e indumentária - de sociedades que mantém ou em algum momento tiveram comportamentos nômades. A pesquisa se ocupa de corpos que estão em movimento, marcados por ritos e exposto a condições ambientais extremas; vestuários e acessórios feitos sob medida e imbuídos de poderes sobrenaturais e habitações conscientes de sua efemeridade. Seu objetivo geral é estudar as inter-relações que se estabelecem através de suportes efêmeros como as habitações e trajes. Em específico ela busca conhecer os processos de produção do espaço da habitação nômade; apreender e identificar o processo de concepção, confecção e uso dos vestuários; perceber a importância das manifestações da cultura material nômade para a sua identidade e estética e procurar similaridades construtivas, visuais e estéticas entre vestes e abrigos nômades. A dissertação é o resultado da revisão bibliográfica que transita pelos trabalhos de Bernard Rudofsky, Florencia Ferrari, Labelle Prussin, Mark Jarzombek, Mette Bovin, Paul Oliver, Robert Kroenenburg, Torvald Faegre entre outros; do estudo de caso dos Ciganos Calons e de quatro povos nômades: Beduínos, Inuit, Tuaregues e Wodaabes; das visitas realizadas aos acampamentos Calons em São Paulo e no Espírito Santo e das entrevistas à costureira especializada em vestidos ciganos. Esta obra fortalece o vínculo conceitual e prático entre indumentária e arquitetura através do estudo paralelo dessas duas manifestações culturais. Ela constata que o vestuário nômade vai muito além da necessidade de proteção e do desejo de ornamentação, muitas vezes estando relacionado à cosmologia ou aos mitos e crenças destas sociedades e reitera a importância de repensarmos as concepções clássicas e eruditas da arquitetura.
This dissertation aims to study the material culture - represented by the architecture and clothing - of societies that maintain or at some point had nomadic behaviors. The research deals with bodies that are in movement, marked by rites and exposed to extreme environmental conditions; Clothing and accessories made to measure and imbued with supernatural powers and dwellings aware of their ephemerality. Its general objective is to study the interrelationships that are established through ephemeral supports such as shelters and costumes. Speci?ically, it seeks to know the processes of production of the nomadic housing space; to seize and identify the process of designing, making and using garments; to perceive the importance of nomadic material culture manifestations for their identity and aesthetics and to look for constructive, visual and aesthetic similarities between nomadic garments and shelters. The dissertation is the result of the bibliographical review of the works of Bernard Rudofsky, Florencia Ferrari, Labelle Prussin, Mark Jarzombek, Mette Bovin, Paul Oliver, Robert Kroenenburg, Torvald Faegre among others; the case study of the Calon Gypsies and four other nomadic societies: Bedouin, Inuit, Tuareg and Wodaabes; visits to the Calon camps in São Paulo and Espírito Santo and interviews with the seamstress specialized in gypsy dresses. This work strengthens the conceptual and practical link between clothing and architecture through the parallel study of these two cultural manifestations. It ?inds that the nomadic clothing goes far beyond the need for protection and the desire for ornamentation, often being related to the cosmology or the myths and beliefs of these societies and reiterates the importance of rethinking the classic and scholarly conceptions of architecture.

Abstract:
The Chinese historical tradition has long associated the Mosuo and the Naxi of Southwest China under the single ethnic title of Mo-so, and Post-Liberation, both peoples were formally identified as members of the Naxi Nationality. In the 1980s, however, the Mosuo were contesting their nationality status on the grounds that they are not Naxi, and that among other things, evidence of this claim rests with the fact that they are matrilineal and the N axi are patrilineal. Chinese social science, however, explains that the socio-cultural differences between the Mosuo and the N axi are accidents of history. The Mosuo have remained at an earlier matrilineal stage, whilst the N axi reached the patrilineal stage during the Tang period and continued to progress under the influence of Han civilization. In the 'West', ethnohistorical reconstructions have attempted to make historical sense of what were until 1949, unique Naxi socio-cultural characteristic - a high rate of ritual love suicide and pictographic manuscripts - in reason of a matrilineal and common past with the Mosuo, and the devastation of the Confucian impact. Naxi society would have been matrilineal like Mosuo society until the annexation of 1723 when it was brought under direct imperial rule. The thesis holds that the history of Naxi customs does not lie with a common Mosuo and Naxi ethnic origin, but with the feudalization of Lijiang and the establishment of the Naxi overlords as 'divine kings'. On the basis of an ethnohistorical method which takes into account broader comparative studies in Tibeto-Burman, Chinese and Tibetan ethnography, mythology, political and civilisational histories, the thesis argues that the Naxi Dongba tradition originates in a Bon inspired ritual which sustained not only the Naxi folk tradition, but the apparatus of the Mu feudal state and 'royal' house. It also argues that the pictographs were inspired from the local rock art and Naxi Naga cults, and that the diffusion of the Dongba manuscripts had to do with the conquest of the tribal peripheries during Ming times. The love suicide custom, for its part, played a juridical role in Naxi marriage institutions, including the institution of preferential patrilateral cross-cousin marriage. Preferential patrilateral cross-cousin marriage seems to be evidenced in the royal genealogy from 1400 and may have contributed to the transformation of Naxi tribal relations into feudal ones while at a later date, it perhaps played a role in integrating Han-Naxi intermarriages. The dissertation also argues that the Naxi and the Mosuo share some common ancestors, but that matrilineality is specifically relevant to the Mosuo whose aristocracy appears to have historical connections to a Tang dynasty queendom, the Dong Nu Guo. The thesis concludes that Mosuo and Naxi ethnic identities were shaped through the ritual and kinship adjustments which the history of imperial frontier politics and feudalisation instituted as local custom.

Full text
Abstract:
A review of existing literature shows that there is a lack of research regarding appropriate adult schemes for vulnerable adults in England and Wales. Little is known about how appropriate adults construct and understand their role. Given this, the present study aimed to explore ‘professional’ appropriate adults’ accounts of working to support adults with mental health needs during their time in police custody. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine ‘professional’ appropriate adults attending police custody settings to support adults identified as mentally vulnerable according to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (1984). A grounded theory method was used to collect and analyse the data. The core concept generated in the analysis was that appropriate adults ‘construct and manage multiple identities’ when working in their role. There were four categories identified as being part of this process: ‘what is PACE?’; ‘in negotiation with the police’; ‘in negotiation with the clients’ and ‘my appropriate adult scheme’. A complex negotiation and dynamic understanding of each category influenced participants’ construction of their identities as an appropriate adult, and how they went about carrying out their work. The findings are discussed, and recommendations for training, policy review and further research are outlined.

Background: Intermittent dieting may be an alternative to continuous dieting for weight reduction. Objective: To evaluate the effect of intermittent dieting versus continuous dieting on weight and body composition in overweight or obese adults. Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Five databases were searched until February 2018 for RCTs comparing intermittent versus continuous dieting. Intermittent dieting consisted of two types: regular intermittent was caloric restriction interspersed with days of weight maintenance or ad libitum eating; intensified intermittent was caloric restriction interspersed with days of even lower caloric restriction. Continuous was continual caloric restriction. Primary outcomes were weight, body fat, lean mass, waist circumference, hip circumference, and energy expenditure. Data were pooled by the inverse variance method using random-effects models and expressed as mean differences (MD) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Nine trials met the inclusion criteria (n = 782), six comparing regular intermittent vs continuous (n = 553), and three comparing intensified intermittent vs continuous (n = 229). Populations were heterogeneous: obese only in five studies, and overweight or obese (mixed) in four studies. Lean mass was significantly lower in regular intermittent vs continuous (MD −0.86 kg; 95% CI −1.62 to −0.10; p = 0.03). No differences were found for the remaining outcomes for both comparisons (regular intermittent or intensified intermittent vs continuous). There was low heterogeneity of effects across trials. Subgroup effects by time to follow-up, gender, per-protocol versus intention-to-treat, enforced exercise, and diabetes were similar to main analyses. Conclusions: This systematic review in obese and overweight individuals showed that regular intermittent dieting decreased lean mass compared to continuous dieting. There were no differences in effects for either intermittent vs continuous interventions across all other outcomes. In contrast to previous systematic reviews, this study suggested that lean mass is better preserved in continuous dieting compared to regular intermittent dieting.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to understand the political sociology of Maoist insurgency in India using a combination of disaggregated statistics and qualitative data. The vast majority of insurgent leaders are from dominant or upper caste, middle class backgrounds. Their participation in the insurgency can be understood in terms of ideology and short-term processes of mobilization. The Maoist insurgents provide a unified organizational structure for two separate sections of society. On the one hand, are untouchable or dalit landless laborers who suffer economic exploitation at the hands of higher caste landowners. On the hand are tribal or adivasi landowning cultivators whose relative autonomy has come under increasing pressure over the past two centuries as the state has established control over natural resources in their area. Their support for the insurgents does not just manifest itself from exploited untouchables’ and oppressed tribals’ positions in the social structure as structural theories would assume. Rather, the insurgents provide them with collective incentives in order to encourage their support. The actors at the macro and micro levels have very different reasons for participating in the insurgency. The insurgent leaders aim to capture state power through a Protracted People’s War, while the objectives of supporters at the micro-level tend to be more concerned with local and short-term issues. The insurgency should be conceptualised as a state building enterprise in which the interests of supporters at all levels are served by seizing local political power and the building of a base area. The thesis demonstrates that the insurgency is expanding most rapidly in the central Indian tribal belt. I use a case study to show that not all tribal communities support the insurgents. Some oppose them, either because their interests have been harmed by the presence of the insurgents, or as a result of a variety of endogenous mechanisms. This indicates that insurgency is a more dynamic and complex process than structural and rational actor theories allow for. The thesis finishes by placing the subject of indigenous communities and insurgency in the global context. It demonstrates that, while so-called indigenous communities listed by the Minorities at Risk project amount to 4.8% of the world’s population, they were involved in 43% of the intra-state conflict years listed by the Uppsala Conflict Data Program Armed Conflict Dataset between 1946 and 2010.

Full text
Abstract:
Si le choc de la colonisation de la Nouvelle-Calédonie évoqué dans le préambule de l’accord sur la Nouvelle-Calédonie du 5 mai 1998 n’est plus à démontrer, les moyens développés par le droit français à l’endroit du peuple restent à être examinés. Compte tenu des relations particulières qu’entretiennent les Kanak à la terre, le choc des cultures va se traduire par l’opposition des droits entre une coutume immuable, et un droit français qui sacralise la propriété privée, participant aux droits de l’homme et du citoyen Ces particularismes propres à la colonisation de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, ont pris de multiples formes juridiques, pour ce qui est de la prise de possession elle-même puisque le peuple premier kanak va connaitre un traité (1844), une prise de possession en 1853, et des actes de reconnaissance de souveraineté paraphés par certains chefs (1854) sur la Grande Terre.1Notre questionnement permanent est donc celui de savoir comment le peuple kanak a subi en vertu du droit français un bouleversement fondamental de son espace foncier vital, des zones d’influences de ses chefferies traditionnelles, une déstructuration de son organisation dotée de ses propres codes. La reconnaissance constitutionnelle d’un statut personnel propre au peuple premier dans l’accord de Nouméa de 1998, va permettre de confirmer et d’assurer la prééminence des usages coutumiers, non plus dans ce seul domaine, mais pour tout ce qui concerne le droit civil. Le droit français réputé fondé sur l’égalité. L’application au peuple kanak de Nouvelle-Calédonie montre que cette idée doit être réexaminée. Aussi, qu’il s’agisse de la période de la colonisation (1ere partie) et son droit discriminatoire négatif où celle de la décolonisation (2eme partie) et son droit discriminatoire positif, le peuple kanak a connu et connaît toujours des règles différentes
If the shock of the colonization of New Caledonia evoked in the introduction of the agreement on New Caledonia of May 5th, 1998 is not to be any more demonstrated, themeans developed by the French law towards the people remain to be examined. Considering the particular relations that maintain Kanak in the land, the shock of the cultures is goi ng to be translated by the opposition of the rights be tween an unchanging custom, and a French law which makes sacred the private property, participat ing in the rights of man and the citizen. These senses of identity appropriate for the coloni zation of New Caledonia, took multiple legal forms, as for the very taking possession because the Kanak first people knows a treaty (1844), a taking possession in 1853, and acts of gratitude of sovere ignty were signed by leaders (1854 ) on the Big Earth 2 . Our permanent questioning is thus the one to know how the Kanak people underwent by virtue of the French law a fundamental upheaval of his vital land space, spheres of influence ofhis traditional chieftainships, a disintegration of his organizatio n endowed with his owncodes. The constitutional gratitude of a personal status a ppropriate for the first people in the agreement of Noumea of 1998, is going to allow to confirm and to assure the superiority of the usual uses, either i n this only domain, but for all which concerns the ci vil law. The renowned French law based on the equality. The application to the Kanak people of New Caledonia shows that this idea must be revised. So, it is about the period of the colonization ( 1st part)) and its negative discriminatory law wher e that of the decolonization (2eme left) and its posi tive discriminatory law, Kanak people knew and always knows different rules

Abstract:
This thesis details my applied thesis project and experience in the evaluation of a workforce development through sustainable construction program. It describes the need of my client, Sweet Grass Consulting and their contractual partner, the Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation, in the evaluation of Thunder Valley CDC's Workforce Development through Sustainable Construction Program. My role involved the development of an extensive evaluation package for this program and data analysis of evaluation materials to support Thunder Valley CDC's grant-funded Workforce Development Program. I place the efforts of Thunder Valley CDC in the context of their community, the Pine Ridge Reservation of the Lakota People, and within an historical and contemporary context to highlight the implications of the efforts of Thunder Valley CDC. Using the theoretical frameworks of cultural revitalization and community economic development, I attempt to highlight two important components of Thunder Valley CDC's community development efforts - cultural revitalization for social healing, and development that emphasizes social, community and individual well-being. Thunder Valley CDC's Workforce Development through Sustainable Construction Program is still in its early stages, and so this first year of implementation very much represented a pilot phase. However, while specific successes are difficult to measure at this point, general successes are viewable in the daily operations of Thunder Valley CDC that exemplify their stated mision and goals. These successes include initiatives that holistically address community needs; relevancy in the eyes of the community they serve; support for the community and for Program participants' unique challenges; and a cultural restoration and revitalization emphasis that underlies and strengthens all of this. The program thus has the potential to provide a model for community development by challenging dominant "development" paradigms and utilizing community resources and assets for community development that reflects the community's values and worldviews.

Abstract:
As colonized peoples Native Americans have had a complicated relationship to the United States. They have faced the question of whether they should demand tribal independence or embrace American citizenship. During the early 1970s, when radical ethnic and political movements occupied center stage in the United States, and in 1992, when the 500 year anniversary of Columbus discovery of America was celebrated, the issue of Indian American identification was actualized. The various possible ways in which Native Americans could identify in relation to the United States made their identification often seem contradictory. The same group and even the same individual could  identify as both part of and apart from the United States. Likewise, the same event could trigger different identifications in relation to the United States. How can this be explained? In this thesis I offer an explanation of Indian American identification that combines the perspectives of world view and historical context. Native Americans have related to two different world views, a Western world view which imagines a world made up of states, and a "traditional" Indian world view which imagines a world made up of peoples placed on their lands by the Creator. Different ways of understanding the world impacted how Native Americans understood "America," as USA or Indian ancestral homelands. Different world views provided different images of Native American relationship to the United States. These images could be put forward or be actualized in different contexts. The historical context influenced which images were most commonly chosen. During the 1970s, given the period's generally revolutionary discourse, more separatist images were prominent. In 1992, when a government-to-government relationship between tribal and federal governments was firmly established, Indians chose a more inclusive relationship to the Untied States.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to provide an introduction and analysis of Harvest Festival, a work for piano four hands by Taiwanese composer Yann-Jong Hwang. This work incorporates elements of traditional Taiwanese music that is largely unfamiliar to performers and listeners beyond the border of Taiwan. With the exception of Professor Hwang’s own journal article on this piece, this project is the only study of Harvest Festival available in the United States or Taiwan. This research will be meaningful to both performers and piano teachers as an encouragement to include Yann-Jong Hwang’s work within their concert repertory. This document examines the background of Yann-Jong Hwang; briefly introduces Taiwan, the Amis tribe, and the Harvest Festival event; provides a structural analysis of all four sections of Harvest Festival; and concludes with an appendix consisting of a complete score of Harvest Festival.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of exercise (EXE) alone or exercise combined with dietary supplements (EXE-SUPPL) on body composition and physical performance in subjects 60 years and older with sarcopenic obesity. Methods: A systematic review was carried out of studies identified through five search engines up to April 15, 2018. We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating EXE or EXE-SUPPL in elderly individuals with sarcopenic obesity for at least six weeks. Primary outcomes were percentage of body fat mass, appendicular skeletal muscle mass, and hand grip strength. Random effects meta-analyses with the inverse variance method were used to evaluate the effects of interventions on outcomes. Effects were expressed as mean differences (MD) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane tool. Results: Nine papers reporting seven RCTs (with a total of 558 participants) were included in the review. EXE alone and EXE-SUPPL increased grip strength (MD 1.30 kg; 95% CI 0.58–2.01), gait speed (MD 0.05 m/s; 95% CI 0.03–0.07) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (MD 0.40 kg; 95% CI 0.18–0.63). EXE alone and EXE-SUPPL reduced waist circumference (MD −1,40 cm; 95% CI −1.99 to −0.81), total fat mass (MD −1,77 kg; 95% CI −2.49 to −1.04), and trunk fat mass (MD −0.82 kg; 95% CI −1.22 to −0.42). Conclusion: EXE alone and EXE-SUPPL improved muscle-related outcomes and reduced fat-related outcomes in subjects with sarcopenic obesity. There is a need for better-designed RCTs with systematic assessment of both different exercise regimes and dietary supplements in sarcopenic obese subjects.

The participation of people in criminal justice trials is undoubtedly a good practice for the current reform of the judicial bureaucracy in Taiwan. When citizens participation in a criminal trial has been introduced in advanced countries worldwide, Taiwan will naturally conduct such practice and it has become a boost to the promotion of judicial progress in all countries of the world. From the “Citizens Trial Observation Trial Act Draft” formerly proposed by the Judicial Yuan to the current “Citizens Participation in the Criminal Trial Act Draft”, it shows the attempt and determination of judicial authorities to make changes. While we are building a new system, we should also refer to the successful experience of foreign countries in a timely manner to assist us building a suitable system. The jury system of the United Kingdom and the United States, the lay judge system of Germany and France, the citizen judge system of Japan, and the national participation system of Korea are all available for reference to Taiwan. In terms of the major judicial process reform, in addition to the system design and the drafting of the law, it is also important to listen to the valuable opinions of the public in order to move forward in a more stable pace after the implementation of the new law. This paper will explore the relevant issues of citizens participation in criminal trials from the perspective of comparison, from the jury system of the United Kingdom and the United States, the lay judge system of the European nations, the citizen judge system of Japan, and the national participation system of Korea, to compare and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each system, and make it available for the reference of Taiwan in introducing the participation of citizens in the criminal trial, if necessary. On the other hand, this subject involves the amendments of the relevant laws, such as the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the addition of the supporting measures. It is necessary to make adjustment to the relevant Code of Criminal Procedure and Court Organic Act accordingly to facilitate the operation of the new system. The main content of this paper is to explore the participation of people in the criminal trial system in all nations. Then, based on the status quo of Taiwan, the focus is to explore the types of support measures that Taiwan needs to match in terms of system selection or construction. In terms of system adoption and adjustment, there are many aspects worth discussing. While comparing national systems, it is also one of the goals of this paper to observe the latest development in each country. The subject of citizens participation in criminal justice trials, in the sense of “is,” has indeed become one of the judicial policies to be promoted, which is evidenced from the citizens concern about major social issues. Judicial trials in Taiwan have long been ruled by professional judges who pass the national examination and are properly trained. When the judgments made by professional judges do not conform to the legal sentiment of the majority of society, it may have reached the point for a change. In the sense of “ought to be,” the judicial authorities should propose corresponding countermeasures to reverse the situation. “Judicial Democratization” is not a slogan in today’s society, but a new challenge that we are about to face !
