Die vorliegende Arbeit gliedert sich in drei Kapitel. Das erste Kapitel umfasst dabei die Darstellung von Methoden, die zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt unter anderem in der provinzialrömischen Archäologie zur Untersuchung von Gefäßkeramik üblich sind, wobei die Einzelergebnisse des im Rahmen dieser Arbeit untersuchten gebrauchskeramischen Materials (Randfragmente) der Saalburg (bei Bad Homburg) am Ende des Kapitels zusammengefasst werden. Im zweiten Kapitel werden anhand des gleichen Materials einige naturwissenschaftliche Methoden dargestellt, die zur Materialanalyse sowohl in den Geowissenschaften (Materialwissenschaft), als auch in der Archäometrie häufig Anwendung finden und deren Ergebnisse am Ende des Kapitels zusammengefasst. In einer Gesamtbetrachtung (drittes Kapitel) werden schließlich diese hinsichtlich ihrer Aussagekraft in archäologischem Kontext evaluiert. Neben der im Anhang festgehaltenen Original-dokumentation der Dünnschliff-Untersuchungen (Ramanspektroskopie, „RS“), werden im Abbildungsteil die Kopien der Originaldaten aus der Röntgendiffraktometrie („XRD“) und der Röntgenfluoreszenzanalyse („RFA“, chemische Analyse), Abbildungen einiger Festkörper, als auch Zeichnungen, Photos und Dünnschliffe der Randfragmente aufgeführt. Während die Darstellung der angewandten Methoden einer Verständniserleichterung vor allem der komplexen chemisch-physikalischen Zusammenhänge dienen soll - nicht zuletzt auch, um die künftige Methodenwahl zu optimieren - soll mittels der Evaluation, vor allem für die Keramikforschung, die Entwicklung neuer Forschungsmethoden unterstützt werden. Aus dem Vergleich der Ergebnisse beider Kapitel erhebt sich nicht allein für die Keramikforschung die Frage, inwieweit die Anwendungen bestimmter Untersuchungen überhaupt sinnvoll sind, wenn sie nicht nur der Bestätigung dienen sollen, sondern welche Konsequenzen daraus auch für die Untersuchung anderer historisch-kultureller Materialgruppen resultieren könnten.

This study examines the social cultural factors that influence HIV/AIDS transmission among women in RWANDA and especially in RUGALIKA sector. Some of those social cultural factors we can say marriage, polygamy, early marriage, poverty, religious beliefs, lack of access to productive resources and lack of education and training. The objectives of the study were to identify the social cultural factors which influence in HIV transmission among women and the constraint of HIV/AIDS among women and to find out how those constraint can be overcome and also to identify the measures that could be take for more prevent the spread of HIV infection to the women and to the all people in general. The research contains 5chapters which are: 1st chapter: general conclusion; 2nd chapter: literature review; 3rd chapter: research methodology; 4th chapter: data analysis and interpretation and the 5th chapter is general conclusion and recommendation. This research was conducted in RUGALIKA sector which has about 2990 women aged between 21 35 years old and thus a sample of 290 women was selected in different region of RUGALIKA sector. After the interpretation of the findings; the most vulnerable group is the women aged between 31-35 years; the vulnerability is due to different factors but most of them we have: poverty issues, polygamy, lack of access to productive resources, lack of education and training, religious beliefs and we cannot forget the physiological factors. After the genocide of 1994, Rwanda has known many orphans; and in RUGALIKA sector young women and girls are often to be sexual exploited in order to survive.

Interpretations of Shakespeare’s characters have been subject to the pressures of history, exhibiting a progression of performance styles in accordance with changes in ideas and concerns over time. Shakespeare’s complex portrayals of women leave room for cultural influences of a time period to greatly influence interpretations because of the ambiguous nature of some of his major female characters. Lady Macbeth and Much Ado About Nothing’s Beatrice both overstep and challenge gender boundaries, and the combination of their defiant natures and textual ambiguities have made these characters highly controversial over the past four centuries.Various cultures over time have imposed specific readings of the characters that serve to reinforce the male-dominated expectations of a given society. The examination of variations in performance styles and interpretations of these two extremely canonical characters revealinsights into gender ideologies that existed during various time periods throughout history. The combination of this analysis with an exploration of the effects of the more recent applications offeminism and film, which have both helped to reshape the cultural images of both Lady Macbeth and Beatrice, will aide in an observation of the status of gender relations in our contemporary society. The current trend of interpretations of these characters could also provide predictions about future gender relations in our culture.

This paper examines the provision of interpretation services to immigrants with limited English proficiency in Federally Qualified Health Centers, through examination of barriers and best practices. The United States is a nation of immigrants; currently, more than 38 million, or 12.5 percent of the total population, is foreign-born. A substantial portion of this population does not have health insurance or speak English fluently: barriers that reduce the likelihood that they will access traditional health care organizations. This service void is filled by FQHCs, which are non-profit, community-directed providers that remove common barriers to care by serving communities who otherwise confront financial, geographic, language, and cultural barriers. By examining the importance and the implementation of medical interpretation services in FQHCs, suggestions for the future are presented.^

El bandolerismo social en general y el mito de Vairoleto en particular, constituyen prácticas contestatarias. Este trabajo procura ofrecer una breve descripción del estado de la cuestión para abrir la complejidad teórica del fenómeno del bandidaje y los principales problemas relacionados con el análisis de la evidencia empírica. Se establecen las principales críticas, autocríticas y anticríticas de las hipótesis clásicas de Hobsbawm. Con esto se sustenta el recorte de nuestra investigación y se justifican los contornos del objeto de estudio, para así ofrecer nuestra propia interpretación acerca de la construcción de mitos populares alrededor de figuras como Juan Bautista Vairoleto.

Se realiza un análisis exploratorio del concepto de "garantía cultural", con el objetivo de caracterizar áreas futuras de investigación en torno al mismo. En primera instancia se analiza la noción genérica de 'garantía', tal como ha sido considerada en la Organización del Conocimiento. Se reseñan diversos tipos de garantías propuestas para legitimar la inclusión de terminología en sistemas de organización del conocimiento. Se cumple un análisis crítico del concepto de "cultura" y la manera en que distintas concepciones antropológicas, sociológicas y políticas confluyen en su construcción epistemológica. Se revisa y se problematiza el tratamiento de la garantía cultural en la literatura del área. Se valora su aporte en la construcción de identidades culturales, a través de elementos de diferenciación de la interpretación y la vivencia de la realidad. En particular se desarrolla la relación entre garantía cultural y cultura local. Se pondera la inserción del factor ético a través de la garantía cultura, en el desarrollo de esquemas de clasificación y en los procesos de clasificación e indización. Entre otras conclusiones, se establece la necesidad de explorar con mayor detenimiento las alternativas metodológicas que puedan sustentarse en esta concepción integradora y democratizadora en el ámbito de la Organización del Conocimiento

Pesquisa a respeito das influências da indústria cultural sobre a formação da identidade nas Escolas de Samba em Juiz de Fora, as transformações introduzidas nestas agremiações através dos meios de comunicação de massa ao longo dos anos e o modo pelo qual os sambistas de Juiz de Fora reinterpretam e assimilam as informações da indústria cultural. O papel dos meios de comunicação locais frente ao carnaval. O trabalho dividiu-se em três etapas: pesquisa bibliográfica; realização de um diagnóstico a partir de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com as pessoas envolvidas com as Escolas de Samba ou historicamente relevantes para os desfiles oficiais de carnaval em Juiz de Fora; e a análise qualitativa dos dados coletados. Levantou-se a trajetória histórica das Escolas de Samba de Juiz de Fora e seus pontos de contato com as Escolas de Samba do Rio de Janeiro, além de se buscar compreender qual é a percepção que os juizforanos têm sobre o desfile local. As informações foram trabalhadas sob o ponto de vista da Teoria Crítica, das propostas filosóficas de Michel Foucault, das considerações sobre a sociedade do espetáculo. O trabalho demonstra que a preocupação principal das Escolas de Samba de Juiz de Fora é com a realização de um desfile que se enquadre nos padrões exigidos pela indústria cultural, conseqüentemente o espetáculo em torno da festa transformou-se em uma forma de controle social, eliminando a espontaneidade e a transgressão que tradicionalmente estão associadas ao carnaval.(AU)

This project examines what an ethical code of conduct would look like in Afghanistan through analysis of historical, cultural and linguistic aspects found within its regions, as well as an examination of ethical codes of conduct for translators and interpreters in other countries. While numerous ethical guidelines and codes of conduct for translators and interpreters exist throughout global communities, it seems that creating a successful standardized ethical code of conduct in Afghanistan may be difficult to achieve given cultural and linguistic complexities. An ethical code of conduct for translators and interpreters in Afghanistan should include particular focus on: cultural sensitivity and courtesy, impartiality, conflict of interest, options for withdrawal, as well as reflect the importance of Pashtunwali.

The Palestinian region is changing rapidly, with both economic and cultural consequences. One way of approaching this very political process is thru the concept of landscape. By viewing the region as a multiprocessual, dynamic landscape the analysis allows for a holistic read where historical and contemporary projections, interpretations and notions of power are fused. This thesis draws on the scholarly fields of humanistic landscape research and aerial image interpretation as well as theories of orientalism and power. A case study of two regions of the West Bank is performed; interviews and observations provide localized knowledge that is then used in open-access image interpretation. By performing image interpretations this thesis explores the power embedded in mapping and the possible inclinations the development towards open-access geospatial analytic tools could have on the functions of power in the Palestinian landscape. By investigating the spatial configuration of the Palestinian landscape and tracing its roots this thesis finds four major themes that are particularly pivotal in the processual change of the Palestinian landscape: the Israeli/Palestinian time-space, the blurring of the conflict, the dynamics of the frontier region and the orientalist gaze.

Culture is a central but debated concept in many disciplines and its complexity may become an even bigger source of argument in Suicidology. In spite of the intricacy of the study of this construct, the paper illustrates that various scholars have recognised the relevance of culture and ethnicity in the understanding of suicidal behaviour. The author provides evidence of the need to pay more attention to the meaning and interpretation of suicide in cross-cultural research and underlines the necessity to establish cultural-sensitive prevention strategies. The paper closes by providing methodological considerations and suggestions for future research on cultural aspects of suicidal behaviour.
