My thesis is an analysis of my own translation of a chapter from Dominik Nagl's legal history 'Grenzfälle,' which addresses questions of citizenship and nationality in the context of the German colonies in Africa and the South Pacific. My analysis focuses primarily on strategies that I used in an effort to preserve the strangeness of a linguistic context that is, in many ways, "foreign" to twenty first-century North Americans while also striving to avoid reproducing the violence embedded in language that is historically laden with extreme power disparities.

Can leaders shape identity and legitimize new political orders? I address this question by studying the role of Mustafa Kemal, the founder of modern Turkey, in spreading a new national identity. Using a generalized difference-in-differences design, which exploits time and geographic variation in Kemal's visits to cities, I test whether exposure to a charismatic leader affects citizens' take-up of the new Turkish identity. I find that people living in cities visited are more likely to embrace the common identity, as proxied by the adoption of first names in "Pure Turkish", the new language introduced by the state. I also show that Kemal was more efficient in making people use the new language, compared to Ismet Inonu, the Prime Minister and Kemal's second man, suggesting that he had an idiosyncratic effect. I find that the effect is mostly driven by cities where he met with local elites, rather than the mass, and are not driven by places that had a nationalist club during the Ottoman Empire. Overall, the findings are consistent with the Weberian view that charismatic authority can induce others to follow and legitimize new political orders.

The intensifying pace of research based on cross-cultural studies in the social sciences necessitates a discussion of the unique challenges of multi-sited research. Given an increasing demand for social scientists to expand their data collection beyond WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic) populations, there is an urgent need for transdisciplinary conversations on the logistical, scientific and ethical considerations inherent to this type of scholarship. As a group of social scientists engaged in cross-cultural research in psychology and anthropology, we hope to guide prospective cross-cultural researchers through some of the complex scientific and ethical challenges involved in such work: (a) study siteselection, (b) community involvement and (c) culturally appropriate research methods. We aim to shed light on some of the difficult ethical quandaries of this type of research. Our recommendation emphasizes a community-centred approach, in which the desires of the community regarding research approach and methodology, community involvement, results communication and distribution, and data sharing are held in the highest regard by the researchers. We argue that such considerations are central to scientific rigour and the foundation of the study of human behaviour. ; National audience

Le présent rapport décrit en détail la méthode et les hypothèses utilisées pour la construction desscénarios, puis les résultats de simulation de ces scénarios. Outre le scénario de référence à l'horizon2030, nous considérons trois scénarios alternatifs choisis pour illustrer le phénomène de concurrencepour la terre entre le secteur de l'élevage et le secteur des cultures, qui est le coeur de la présente étude.Les deux premières parties de ce rapport sont centrées sur le scénario de référence dont l'objet est deprojeter la situation des marchés agricoles et alimentaires à l'horizon 2030 en intégrant, à partir de lasituation initiale 2009, l'évolution tendancielle de certaines variables du modèle et l'évolution prévue ducontexte économique général (croissance démographique et croissance économique par exemple) et ducontexte politique (réformes prévues de certaines politiques à l'horizon 2030, par exemple). Ce scénariode référence, parfois appelé baseline ou scénario « business as usual », a pour vocation de servir depoint de comparaison aux résultats de simulations des scénarios alternatifs. De ce fait, une bonnecompréhension du scénario de référence et de ses résultats est le pré-requis indispensable à touteinterprétation des résultats des scénarios alternatifs.En sa qualité de modèle d'équilibre partiel statique, le modèle MATSIM-LUCA n'intègre pas la dynamiquetemporelle des variables. Par construction il n'est donc pas en mesure de projeter la situation desmarchés de façon cohérente selon une tendance de long terme. Afin d'établir un scénario de référencecohérent nous nous sommes donc appuyés sur les résultats d'exercices de projections dédiés existantsdont principalement les Perspectives agricoles de l'OCDE et de la FAO 2014-2023.La méthode qui a été utilisée pour construire le scénario de référence à l'horizon 2030 est présentée dansla première partie de ce rapport. Dans la deuxième partie, nous détaillons les résultats de simulation dece scénario de référence.La troisième partie du rapport est consacrée aux ...

Die beachtliche Vergrößerung des Angebots an Ganztagsschulen in den letzten Jahren wurde begleitet von Bemühungen, die pädagogische Qualität ganztägiger Schulangebote bei diesem rasanten Ausbau nicht zu kurz kommen zu lassen. Diesem Ziel ist auch das "Jahrbuch Ganztagsschule" verpflichtet. Das Leitthema "Leben - Lernen - Leisten" des vorliegenden sechsten Jahrbuchs unterstreicht die Breite des Aufgabenfeldes ganztägiger Schulerziehung und hebt drei fundamentale Dimensionen hervor. Weitere Themen [sind]: Berichte zur Ganztagsschulentwicklung aus den Bundesländern Sachsen-Anhalt und Nordrhein-Westfalen; Pädagogische Grundlagen; Praxisberichte: Kulturelle Bildung, Serviceagenturen, Selbstevaluation; Wissenschaft und Forschung: Gesundheitsförderung, Schulabsentismus; Nachrichten: Kongressberichte, Multiplikatorenausbildung, Forschungsvorhaben; Rezensionen. (DIPF/Orig.)

"Am 1. Februar wurde der Außenminister Gabuns, Jean Ping, zum neuen Kommissionsvorsitzenden der Afrikanischen Union (AU) gewählt. Die Anforderungen an ihn sind beträchtlich: Er soll die regionale Integration des Kontinents vorantreiben, während sich gleichzeitig die ökonomische Spaltung zwischen den Regionalorganisationen Afrikas zu vertiefen droht. Die von Libyens Revolutionsführer Gaddafi propagierte Gründung der 'Vereinigten Staaten von Afrika' ist völlig unrealistisch und lenkt von den tatsächlichen Herausforderungen ab: Die wirtschaftliche Integration des Kontinents wird nur stockend umgesetzt. Das Verhältnis zwischen der AU und den zahlreichen Regionalorganisationen bleibt ungeklärt. Mehrfachmitgliedschaften einzelner Staaten in verschiedenen Regionalorganisationen behindern den afrikanischen Integrationsprozess massiv. Bislang sind keine Erfolge bei der beschlossenen Reduzierung der Mehrfachmitgliedschaften ersichtlich, vielmehr gehen einzelne Staaten sogar neue Mitgliedschaften ein. Die Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) der Europäischen Union (EU) erschweren den Integrationsprozess zusätzlich, da die EPA-Ländergruppen nicht identisch mit den Regionalorganisationen sind. Nur einige wenige Regionalorganisationen sollten in Zukunft als 'Bausteine' der wirtschaftlichen Integration Afrikas dienen. Der AU-Kommission kommt dabei als Koordinatorin eine zentrale Rolle zu. Für Geber gilt es, auf Anfrage hin die Organisationen und die Kommission in ihren operativen Fähigkeiten zu unterstützen, die regionale Integration zu vertiefen." (Autorenreferat)

Die Verfasser geben zunächst einen Überblick über die Verselbständigungstendenzen der Unionsrepubliken sowie den Zerfall des zentral geprägten Einheitsstaates und der Kommunistischen Partei. Sie arbeiten im folgenden gemeinsame Grundzüge und Probleme der neuen politischen Bewegungen und Parteien heraus. Hierbei geht es um die Volksbewegungen als Motoren des Systemwechsels, die Keimformen neuer Parteien und die Problematik der internationalen Beziehungen. Es schließen sich Porträts neuer Parteien und Bewegungen in Rußland, der Ukraine und Weißrußland an. In einer abschließenden Bilanz wird die Orientierung der neuen Parteien auf die Selbständigkeit der Republiken, die Gefahr eines Festhaltens westlicher Außenpolitik an alten Unions-Klischees sowie die Orientierung auf charismatische Führerpersönlichkeiten hervorgehoben.

Jets are reconstructed from clusters of energy depositions in the ATLAS calorimeters using the anti-kt algorithm. A jet calibration scheme is applied in multiple steps, each addressing specific effects including mitigation of contributions from additional proton–proton collisions, loss of energy in dead material, calorimeter non-compensation, angular biases and other global jet effects. The final calibration step uses several in situ techniques and corrects for residual effects not captured by the initial calibration. These analyses measure both the jet energy scale and resolution by exploiting the transverse momentum balance in γ + jet, Z + jet, dijet, and multijet events. A statistical combination of these measurements is performed. In the central detector region, the derived calibration has a precision better than 1% for jets with transverse momentum 150GeV

Στο κοινωνικοπολιτικό πλαίσιο της βυζαντινής κοινωνίας, αυτοκρατορικές τελετές, όπως για παράδειγμα στέψεις, πανηγυρικές πομπές και γάμοι, αναδείκνυαν την ιδιαίτερη φύση της αυτοκρατορικής κυριαρχίας και ήταν εκφραστές διάφορων πτυχών της πολιτικής ιδεολογίας της αυτοκρατορικής αυλής. Από την οπτική αυτή, οι τελετές της αυλής των Παλαιολόγων μπορούν να ιδωθούν ως συμβολικές πράξεις που αποσκοπούσαν στην προώθηση της αυτοκρατορικής πολιτικής σκέψης κατά την ύστερη Βυζαντινή περίοδο. Μέσα σε αυτό το ερευνητικό κλίμα, η διδακτορική μου διατριβή εξετάζει τις τελετές ανάδειξης των Παλαιολόγων ως μέσο έκφρασης της ιεραρχικής τάξης και των ιδεολογικών αξιώσεων της αυτοκρατορικής αυλής της Κωνσταντινούπολης με ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στην περίοδο 1261–1357. Ο στόχος της παρούσας μελέτης δεν είναι μόνο να συμβάλει στην ακαδημαϊκή έρευνα που αφορά στις Βυζαντινές αυτοκρατορικές τελετές, αλλά και να διαμορφώσει μια καινούργια αντίληψη για την πολιτική ιδεολογία των Παλαιολόγων μέσα από μια νέα ανάγνωση και ερμηνεία των σχετικών ιστοριογραφικών πηγών της περιόδου. Ως θεωρητικό και μεθοδολογικό υπόβαθρο χρησιμοποιούνται σχετικά πρόσφατες ανθρωπολογικές και κοινωνιολογικές μελέτες που καταπιάνονται με το τελετουργικό στις δυτικές μεσαιωνικές κοινωνίες, ενώ ταυτόχρονα λαμβάνεται υπόψη η αφηγηματική δομή των ιστοριογραφικών κειμένων σε σχέση με τις προθέσεις του εκάστοτε Βυζαντινού ιστοριογράφου. Συγκεκριμένα, η προσέγγισή μου διαφωτίζει παραμελημένες έως τώρα θεματικές πτυχές της αυτοκρατορικής διαδοχής, των τελετουργικών τρόπων επίλυσης των ενδοδυναστικών συγκρούσεων, καθώς επίσης και των συμβολικών προβολών της αυτοκρατορικής εξουσίας και δύναμης μέσα από τα έργα των υστεροβυζαντινών συγγραφέων Γεώργιου Ακροπολίτη, Γεώργιου Παχυμέρη, Νικηφόρου Γρηγορά, και Ιωάννη Στ΄ Καντακουζηνού. Όσον αφορά στο θέμα της διατριβής, τα τελετουργικά στοιχεία που συνδέονται με την ανάδειξη των Παλαιολόγων στον αυτοκρατορικό θρόνο αναλύονται ως μέσο δημόσιας μεταβίβασης εξουσίας και νομιμοποίησης των πολιτικών δικαιωμάτων της δυναστείας σε σχέση με την κληρονομική διαδοχή. Ορισμένα τελετουργικά που τελούνταν πριν από το 1261 ή συνέχισαν να τελούνται μετά το 1354, λόγου χάρη η ανύψωση σε ασπίδα, ο όρκος πίστης και το εκκλησιαστικό χρίσμα, εξετάζονται εδώ με βάση τις ιστοριογραφικές αφηγήσεις της υπό συζήτηση εποχής για να υπογραμμίσουν νέες τάσεις και αντιλήψεις ως προς το συμβολισμό και την ιδεολογική τους σημασία. Τέλος, στο πλαίσιο ανάλυσης των εμφύλιων πολέμων, επιχειρείται μια επισκόπηση της διπλωματικής δραστηριότητας και της τελετουργικής συμπεριφοράς των Παλαιολόγων αυτοκρατόρων που συνδέεται με το χειρισμό των ενδοδυναστικών συγκρούσεων. Παράλληλα, αξιολογείται η αποτελεσματικότητα των πρεσβειών και των προκαθορισμένων συμφωνιών για τη θέσπιση συμμαχιών. Εν γένει, τα νέα πορίσματα συμβάλλουν στην κατανόηση ευρέως ανεξερεύνητων λειτουργικών πτυχών των τελετουργικών ανάδειξης των Παλαιολόγων αυτοκρατόρων και των ιδεολογικών τους προεκτάσεων. ; Over the past decades, medievalists have demonstrated that ceremonies played a key role in the political culture of pre-modern societies and their studies have provided the impetus for further research. In the sociopolitical framework of Byzantine society, imperial ceremonies such as coronations, processions, and weddings enacted the elevated nature of imperial rule and manifested different aspects of the imperial court's political ideology. In this respect, Palaiologan court ceremonies can be examined as symbolic acts that conveyed and promoted the late Byzantine imperial political thought. Within this research framework, my dissertation explores the Palaiologan imperial accession ceremonies as a symbolic expression of hierarchical order and ideological claims of the imperial court of Constantinople in the period 1261–1357. The aim of the present study is not only to contribute to scholarly research with reference to late Byzantine imperial ceremonies, but also to provide a fresh insight into the Palaiologan political ideology through a re-reading of the relevant historiographical sources. The new methodological approach that I apply closely follows the adjacent disciplines of anthropology and sociology with regard to the ceremonies of Western medieval societies, while at the same time it takes into consideration the narrative structure of historiographical texts in relation to the Byzantine authorial intentions. In particular, my approach sheds new light to hitherto neglected thematic aspects of imperial accession, intra-dynastic conflict resolution, and symbolic projection of status and power, focusing on late Byzantine historiographical narratives, namely the works of George Akropolites, George Pachymeres, Nikephoros Gregoras, and John VI Kantakouzenos. As regards the topic of this dissertation, the ceremonial elements connected with the accession of the Palaiologans to the imperial throne are analyzed as a vehicle for publicly transferring power and legitimizing the rights of the dynastic succession. A number of rituals that were performed before 1261 or continued to be performed after 1354 such as the shield-raising, the oath-taking and the anointing ceremony are examined to show new trends and conceptions depicted in the Late Byzantine historiographical narratives. Finally, to offer an overview of the Palaiologans' diplomatic activity and ritual behavior concerning the handling of intra-dynastic conflicts, some chapters also focus on the efficiency of embassies and pre-arranged agreements in establishing alliances during the years of the civil wars. Overall, the new findings contribute to the understanding of widely unexplored functional aspects of the Palaiologan imperial accession ceremonies and their ideological ramifications.

While one can cite a wide range of local and international development co-operation promoting social change in the social position of women in Nepal, one also sees changes arising from local communities themselves. Local and international concepts of change do not always coincide; indeed they sometimes clash. The need for change and development in women's social position is a given in development discourses, yet the definitions of change and development are complex, incorporating as they do colonial and imperial power structures intertwined with local hierarchies and inequalities. Alongside these considerations, one finds traditional elements that support women's wellbeing and social change in communities, yet are not always recognised in development discourses and practices. In this ethnographic inquiry in the field of social work, I analyse the change process(es) in the women's social position in Nepalese rural communities. I view social change as a complex transition towards multiple goals with varying rhythms. My analysis lies at the intersections of the international and local, and conceptual and practical knowledge bases. The study seeks to contribute to the discussion on international social work, with particular emphasis on decolonising and feminist approaches. My main research question is: How can one promote ethically sustainable social change processes with the women in globally and locally marginalised communities? I also ask how is the women's social position in Nepalese rural communities shaped at the intersection of traditions and transition; how do the global and local driving forces reshape the women's social position; and how are the women's perspectives and environments that promote the transition in their social position related to the international paradigms of development and social change. My analytical focus is on the activism and perspectives of the women participating in the research in their particular environment and their links with communal and societal structures and international politics. My primary research material consists of the data collected in six months of ethnographic fieldwork (from 2012 to 2013) and in return visits to Nepal totaling an additional month (in 2014, 2015 & 2016) working with two women's communities in rural Nepal. The research encounters took place in the communities' daily contexts and the registered organisations that local women had established. The data include group, pair and individual discussions with the women, as well as my participatory observation. The study takes account of the women's perspectives from multiple social positions, from both the centres and the margins of the communities. My earlier experiences with communities elsewhere in Nepal, gained in seven different periods of living and working in the country (during 2005–2011), provided in-depth background knowledge of the context. Throughout the study I reflect on questions of ethical knowledge production and epistemological hierarchies and privileges. The research also discusses how equality and social justice are promoted within social work research, on the level of both ideology and practice. The findings illustrate that the women assumed diverse roles and positions in their communities and daily settings. These positions were actualised in the women's social relationships and communal roles—as wives, daughters-in-law, mothers, 'sisters', community activists and leaders—as well as in their duties and responsibilities—maintaining the household, nurturing, ensuring survival, and representing culture and religion. The analysis indicates that the women were subject to multiple social restrictions but that they also played an essential role in their communities, one which expanded to bringing about transformations. The women's aims in and tools for producing social change were diverse and linked to their daily realities and traditions as well as to their close relation to the land and spirituality. Their goals culminated on a concrete level in improving their means of livelihood and fighting poverty, and on an abstract level in their being seen and heard. The research highlights the value of the traditions that supported the women's wellbeing and of the cultural and religious practices and ideologies that they sought to maintain. It also underscores the importance of taking these elements into account in development discourses and practices. I reflect on the women's perspectives in the light of feminist and decolonising theorisation. This theoretical analysis led me to identify five goals of the transition in the women's social position: decolonisation of subjectivities, renegotiation of social hierarchies, decolonisation of epistemologies, feminisation of the economy, and redistribution of space. Achieving these aims requires critical reflection on global and local power imbalances and recognition of the hierarchies between the different actors within the transition process. The research indicates that the focal transition in the women's social position was pervaded by power imbalances that created ruptures and transgressions in social, gendered, spatial and epistemological dimensions. The study argues that changes towards greater social justice can be achieved by bridging the gaps between the epistemologies from the Global South and North, centers and margins, practice and theory as well as spirituality and rationality. The research prompts the conclusion that ethically sustainable change in women's social position in the global and local margins is promoted by solidarity that includes dialogue, alliance and exchange, on both the conceptual level and in practice. The inquiry provides insights on the value of striving for holistic inclusion and of respect for diversities as a basis for locally relevant and contextually specific social work practice.
