This book brings together scholars and practitioners for a unique inter-disciplinary exploration of justice and memory within Rwanda. It explores the various strategies the state, civil society, and ...individuals have employed to come to terms with their past and shape their future. The main objective and focus is to explore broad and varied approaches to post-atrocity memory and justice through the work of those with direct experience with the genocide and its aftermath. This includes many Rwandan authors as well as scholars who have conducted fieldwork in Rwanda. By exploring the concepts of how justice and memory are understood the editors have compiled a book that combines disciplines, voices, and unique insights that are not generally found elsewhere.
Including academics and practitioners of law, photographers, poets, members of Rwandan civil society, and Rwandan youth this book will appeal to scholars and students of political science, legal studies, French and francophone studies, African studies, genocide and post-conflict studies, development and healthcare, social work, education and library services.
One of the main tasks of ecological parasitology at the present stage is to establish patterns of spread of invasive diseases of animals in the environment through a thorough epidemiological ...examination, as well as to determine the main directions and factors of spread of parasites in Ukraine. Among the many pathogens, endoparasites play a major role in a number of diseases in rabbits with increased morbidity and mortality. In the body of both wild and domestic rabbits several species of parasites that form a parasitocenosis can be localized. The latter have a pathogenic effect on organs and tissues, leading to reduced weight gain, premature slaughter and even mortality. The prevalence of endoparasitoses was studied in weaned rabbits 60 days of age, 120 days of age at fattening, 180 days of age – mating age and adults of 320 days of age to determine the extensiveness and intensity of the dominant invasion. A total of 720 head was studied, 180 animals from each age group. Three species of nematodes were recorded in the rabbits: Trichostrongylus retortaeformis (Zeder, 1800), Nematodirus leporis (Ransom, 1907) and Passalurus ambiguus (Rudolphi, 1819); the cestode Taenia pisiformis (Bloch, 1780); three species of Emeria: Eimeria stiedae (Lindermann, 1865), which parasitizes in the bile ducts of the liver and gallbladder, E. magna (Perard, 1925) and E. media (Kessel, 1929) – in the epithelial cells of the intestine. The prevalence of the infestation depends on the age of the animals. According to the data obtained, eimeriosis was one of the main parasitic diseases of the rabbits. Dominant invasions of Eimeria in the intestines of 60-day-old rabbits were found in the studied animals, their extensiveness reached 19.4%, while the spread of hepatic Eimeria was registered in 13.3% of the examined rabbits. The total infestation of weaned rabbits with helminths was 22.2%, in rabbits for fattening – 26.7%, and in rabbits of mating age and adults – 20.0% and 20.6%, respectively. Global climate change will change the distribution and dynamics of soil-borne helminthiases, but host immunity may also affect host-parasite interactions. Subsequent studies will be aimed at elucidating the effect of mono and mixed invasions on the body of rabbits. Updated data on helminthiasis will expand the screening strategy to maintain rabbit health and reduce economic losses.
From Sovereignty to Solidarity seeks to re-imagine human mobility in ways that are de-linked from national sovereignty. Using examples from around the world, the author examines contemporary ...practices of solidarity to illustrate what such a conceptualization of human mobility looks like. He suggests that urban and local scales, rather than the national scale, is a better way to frame human migration and belonging. The book ultimately proposes that solidarity, rather than sovereignty, offers an alternative approach to imagine how human mobility should, and already does, occur. This book will be relevant to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in disciplines such as Migration Studies, Urban Studies, Human and Political Geography, and Refugee Studies. It is also relevant to researchers, development workers and human rights/environmental activists, and other intellectual practitioners.
After a drought during the 1990s, Tlemcen has experienced heavy rainfall in recent years which caused several floods. They have become frequent and usually cause large damage. We then asked ourselves ...questions about the reasons for this deregulation of rainfall and floods. We have assumed that climate change has led to deregulation of precipitation and that the urbanization and morphology of the site are the causes of the floods. For this, we analyzed the rainfall data and study the configuration of the town of Tlemcen. We noticed then that Tlemcen town undergoes the climate changes effects per a diminution of the multi-annual mean of rainfall between 1974 and 2008, and a slight displacement of the rainfall from April to November after 2008. Finally, the principal reason of floods is the thoughtless urban sprawl on the water courses also favored by an unfavourable topography.
The purpose of the research was to examine perceived moral agency beliefs, attitudes, and prosocial actions of 226 undergraduate World Regional Geography students and eight instructors at two ...Midwestern U.S. universities. The context of the research is positioned within the study of world regional geography courses in order to better understand students' and professors' perspectives and expectations for prosocial action while learning and teaching about global environmental and human issues. Theoretical backgrounds include living in a globalizing world, witnessing distant suffering, and moral education. Using a socio-psychological lens for examining geography learning related to motivations for prosocial behavior and moral agency, the research context included a framework for investigating student and instructor perspectives of prosocial behavior in response to human suffering and environmental crises. The cross-case study included mixed methodology, with analysis of student survey responses, student and professor interviews, and written reader-responses to global issues. Findings showed a significant correlation between when students felt disturbed by global crises and subsequent thoughts on moral agency. Results reveal diverging and contrasting views between students and professors, with undergraduate participant perspectives, requests, and significant suggestions for explicitly addressing pro-social actions in world regional geography for educators and students for the future.
The paper focuses on key questions relating to the concepts of development, sustainability and sustainable development, and also presents the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the associated ...discussions regarding its complementarities and benefits. It took more than 40 years for the SD concept to take shape and turn into a global agenda. On the other hand, there is still no formalized description of a sustainable or monitoring system, of the requirements necessary for the development criteria and measures. The aim of this article is to contribute by providing concise data about its SD concept evolution, principles and their implications for the global, national and individual actions aimed to achieve SD. From the angle of a future view on sustainability, the paper reinterprets the information field, significance of the ecological economics concept (monographic method) and further elaborates on the spatial-temporal energy flows (power) approach for monitoring the socio-economic system development.
The article is a critical analysis of data collected during anthropological fieldwork in the Albanian city of Berat, where one of the world’s largest political slogans is located. The inscription ...“ENVER” on Shpirag mountain was created in 1968 as a birthday present for the leader of the Albanian regime Enver Hoxha. For almost thirty years, this inscription dominated the city, being visible from a distance of many kilometers. After the political transformation in 1991, the new Albanian government planned to destroy the slogan as a remnant of the cult of personality. However, despite the help of the army and the use of explosives, the inscription could not be removed. The giant slogan from Berat is a phenomenon on a global scale: its history, as well as its meanings, created a unique narrative about Albanian politics and culture. For over three decades, the inscription has become an element of the local aesthetic and social landscape. In 2012 the Albanian artist made a subversive act of capturing the old propaganda slogan: as a consequence, the original inscription “ENVER” was replaced with a new one: “NEVER.” Anthropological fieldwork and art-based research focused on the slogan, encouraged participants to express ideas, insights, views, and experiences. The data collected during the research are very varied. Many of them consist of superficial judgments, gossips, presumptions, and stereotypical clichés. They are also accompanied by much deeper expressions, articulating the palimpsest memory of women and men living in the shadow of ENVER/NEVER.
Although we are steadily getting a better understanding of why regional population decline occurs, little is known about the causes of differentiated levels of decline between municipalities in the ...same region. In this paper we address the causes of intra‐regional differentiation in decline in the Dutch region Southern‐Limburg. The quantitative and qualitative analyses reveal that in the 1900‐1945 period, differentiation in population development was the result of economic boom and bust in the mining areas. After 1945 (except for 1985‐1989) however, the economic argument lost much of its relevance: intra‐regional differentiation has primarily been the result of intra‐regional and international migration and these flows are steered predominantly by life course motives, the uneven spatial distribution of housing opportunities and access to these opportunities within the region.
Idioms are stereotyped structures that are mostly unknown when they originated and are a common product of the people. It is possible to encounter words that have remained in historical periods and ...forgotten today within idioms. In addition, idioms may also contain words that are not used in the standard language and live only in dialects. For idioms living in dialects to be better understood, the words they contain should also be known by the interlocutors. Based on this necessity, around 1500 idioms used in the dialects of Alanya region were scanned and 65 words that are not used in standard Turkish were subjected to analysis. Regarding the idioms used in Alanya region, the work titled Alanya Ağzından Esintiler prepared by Tevfik Hacıhamdioğlu was taken as a source. The etymologies of the words analyzed are shown to the extent that they can be determined. In addition, it has been investigated whether the related words have witnesses in Old Turkish, Old Anatolian Turkish, Ottoman Turkish and other dialects of Modern Turkey Turkish. As a result of the study, it was seen that 11 of the 65 words were Arabic, 4 were Persian and 4 were Greek. No data on the origin of 7 words could be found. The remaining 39 words are thought to be Turkish. 10 words are not included in the Compilation Dictionary; 2 words have a different meaning although they are included in the Compilation Dictionary. 11 words were found to be directly witnessed in the Old Turkish period.
Especially since the beginning of 2000’s, upon the discovery of rich hydrocarbon reserves, significant changes have become in the geopolitics of the Eastern Mediterranean which is known as an ...efficient energy basin. In particular, a fragile ground was created on the behalf of countries involving in region such as Turkey, Greece and Greek Cypriot Administration (GCA) in terms of security. In line with bilateral agreements that started on the region long time ago, “exclusive economic zone” and “continental shelf” concepts came into question. Recently, due to “Agreement on Delimitation of the Maritime Jurisdiction Areas” between Turkey and Libya Governments and declaration of NAVTEX by Turkey, which means the stimulation of sailors, continental shelf discussions between Greece and Turkey have flared up. On the other hand, the moves made by Greece with the support of some European and Middle East countries have increased the tension between the parts, even have brought along the discourses of war. This process has ceased to be an energy problem between the parts, it has also become a “sovereignty problem” which each country takes a hard stance against the harassment of its borders and protects its borders by referring to international law texts. Therefore, while the parts aimed to expand their economic jurisdiction, they also targeted to establish a political superiority over each other by preserving their sovereign authorities and rights. This study analyses the efforts of Turkish foreign policy on the way to be dominant in economic and political areas and its security-oriented strategies within the framework of the current developments in Eastern Mediterranean, by also emphasizing the ongoing Aegean problems during the historical process between Turkey and Greece.
