    Schlagwort(e): Environment
    Kurzfassung: The mammalian in vivo micronucleus test is used for the detection of damage induced by the test substance to the chromosomes or the mitotic apparatus of erythroblasts, by analysis of erythrocytes as sampled in bone marrow and/or peripheral blood cells of animals, usually rodents (mice or rats). The purpose of the micronucleus test is to identify substances (liquid or solid) that cause cytogenetic damage which results in the formation of micronuclei containing lagging chromosome fragments or whole chromosomes. An increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in treated animals is an indication of induced chromosome damage. Animals are exposed to the test substance by an appropriate route (usually by gavage using a stomach tube or a suitable intubation cannula, or by intraperitoneal injection). Bone marrow and/or blood cells are collected, prepared and stained. Preparations are analyzed for the presence of micronuclei. Each treated and control group must include at least 5 analysable animals per sex. Administration of the treatments consists of a single dose of test substance or two daily doses (or more). The limit dose is 2000 mg/kg/body weight/day for treatment up to 14 days, and 1000 mg/kg/body weight/day for treatment longer than 14 days.

    Paralleltitel: Parallelausg. Essai n 424: Étude de neurotoxicité
    Schlagwort(e): Environment
    Kurzfassung: This Test Guideline has been designed to obtain the information necessary to confirm or to further characterise the potential neurotoxicity of chemicals in adult animals. This Test Guideline is designed for use with the rat. It specifically addresses the daily oral administration, by gavage, (in the diet, in drinking water or by capsules) of the test substance. When the study is conducted as a separate study, at least 20 animals (10 females and 10 males) should be used in each dose. At least three dose groups and a control group should generally be used. Dose levels should be selected by taking into account any previously observed toxicity and kinetic data available for the test compound or related materials. The dosing regimen may be 28 days, subchronic (90 days) or chronic (1 year or longer). The procedures set out in this Test Guideline may also be used for an acute neurotoxicity study. The limit test corresponds to one dose level of at least 1000 mg/kg body weight. The results of this study include measurements (weighing, food /water consumption), functional tests, and, at least, daily detailed observations (Ophthalmology, haematology, clinical biochemistry and histopathology). At least five males and five females, selected from test group, should be perfused in situ and used for detailed neurohistopathology at the end of the study. The findings of the study should be evaluated in terms of the incidence, severity and correlation of neurobehavioural and neuropathological effects (neurochemical or electrophysiological effects as well if supplementary examinations are included) and any other adverse effects observed.

    Schlagwort(e): Urban, Rural and Regional Development
    Kurzfassung: Human resources, training, qualifications and skills play an essential part in the development of regional economies. The notion of "learning" regions which has now become self-evident has yet to be translated into practice: but under which conditions and what are the priorities? This publication gives a comprehensive picture of current practices and future issues. Regional policies are increasingly focusing on human resources and their orientation towards market demand and improvement of partnerships. The great diversity of regional approaches to human resource development in industrialised countries shows that an efficient regional governance, coupled with concern for equity, can reinforce and consolidate national policies. This volume casts a new light on these issues, providing a useful source of information and inspiration for regional actors and their national partners.

    Kurzfassung: This test measures chromosome events in spermatogonial germ cells and is, therefore, expected to be predictive of induction of inheritable mutations in germ cells. Male Chinese hamsters and mice are commonly used. Animals are exposed to the test substance (liquid or solid) by an appropriate route of exposure, usually by gavage or by intraperitoneal injection. Then, they are sacrificed at appropriate times after treatment. Each treated and control group must include at least five analysable males. Test substances are preferably administered once or twice but they may also be administered as a split dose to facilitate administering a large volume of material. Prior to sacrifice, animals are treated with a metaphase-arresting agent. Chromosome preparations are then made from germ cells and stained, and metaphase cells are analyzed for chromosome aberrations. A limit test may be performed if no effects would be expected at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw/d. Positive results from the in vivo spermatogonial chromosome aberration test indicate that a substance induces chromosome aberrations in the germ cells of the species tested.

    Schlagwort(e): Environment
    Kurzfassung: The bacterial reverse mutation test uses amino-acid requiring at least five strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli to detect point mutations by base substitutions or frameshifts. The principle of this bacterial reverse mutation test is that it detects mutations which revert mutations present in the test strains and restore the functional capability of the bacteria to synthesize an essential amino acid. Suspensions of bacterial cells are exposed to the test substance (liquid or solid) in the presence and in the absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system. At least five different analysable concentrations of the test substance should be used. The recommended maximum test concentration for soluble non-cytotoxic substances is 5 mg/plate or 5 ml/plate. There are two methods: the plate incorporation method and the preincubation method. For both techniques, after two or three days of incubation at 37°C, revertant colonies are counted and compared to the number of spontaneous revertant colonies on solvent control plates.

    Kurzfassung: The mammalian in vivo chromosome aberration test is used for the detection of structural chromosome aberrations induced by test compounds in bone marrow cells of animals, usually rodents (rats, mice and Chinese hamsters). Structural chromosome aberrations may be of two types: chromosome or chromatid. Animals are exposed to the test substance (liquid or solid) by an appropriate route of exposure (usually by gavage using a stomach tube or a suitable intubation cannula, or by intraperitoneal injection) and are sacrificed at appropriate times after treatment. Prior to sacrifice, animals are treated with a metaphase-arresting agent.

    Schlagwort(e): Governance
    Kurzfassung: This is a report on human resources management practices in the public administrations of four central and eastern European countries: Albania, Estonia, Hungary and Poland. The report is based on information from 1996. Since then significant changes have occurred in at least two of the countries. In Poland a new Civil Service Act came into force in January 1997 (certain provisions came into force 30 days after the Act’s promulgation); and in Albania the current situation in the administration is difficult to assess due to recent political upheaval. When this report was prepared in 1996, Albania, Estonia and Hungary all had civil service laws in force, while in Poland the1982 Act on Civil Servants still regulated employment in the state administration. The report’s purpose is to determine to what extent the implementation of a specific law for employment in the administration would lead to significant changes in personnel management or in the preconditions for management, selection and promotion of staff. This report is therefore about public personnel management systems, management procedures and management practices and how they either support or hinder professionalism and appropriate conduct. To a certain extent it is also about the legislation and institutions as well as the training necessary to promote suitable civil service behaviour. The study was based on a common guideline document developed together with experts from the four countries. These experts are Odeta Dibra, Lawyer, Albania (now with UNESCO); Professor Georg Sootla, Tallinn Pedagogical University, Estonia; Istvan Borbiro, Lawyer, Jutasi & Partners, Hungary; and Wojciech Marchlewski, Co-operation and Partnership, Poland. The four experts used the guideline document as a reference tool for conducting interviews in the administrations of their countries and for reporting their findings.

    Schlagwort(e): Governance
    Kurzfassung: The public service in central and eastern Europe has to adapt to an enormous number of changes in a very short time. The staff is faced with a constantly changing regulatory framework which needs implementation and enforcement, as well as new demands from the growing private sector and the citizenry at large. These challenges can only be met if the staff is highly qualified and constantly updating their qualifications. A sound system of in-service training is therefore crucial to keep the personnel within the public service on equal footing with the rapidly changing environment. This short paper is meant to point out the determining components of training systems, and advantages and disadvantages of possible solutions as they were developed in OECD countries, in order to assist countries in central and eastern Europe to set up a sound training system, while avoiding mistakes already experienced in OECD countries.

    Paralleltitel: Parallelausg. Statut de la fonction publique : Liste de critères de référence sur la législation subordonnée (et autres instruments règlementaires)
    Schlagwort(e): Governance
    Kurzfassung: This checklist is intended to supplement the Civil Service Legislation Contents Checklist, (Sigma Papers: No.5 OCDE/GD(96)21, February 1996). The previous checklist was principally concerned with matters that could usefully be considered when a civil service bill (i.e. the draft of primary legislation governing the civil service) was in preparation in a central and eastern European country. The present checklist deals with matters that can usefully be considered in connection with the secondary instruments that may be needed to implement the Civil Service Act enacted by the Parliament. It begins with a narrative section describing the types of instruments that are typically used for this purpose in OECD Member countries and factors that are widely taken into account when such instruments are being prepared and drafted. This is followed by a checklist of questions which law drafters in particular may find useful in the drafting process. These questions concern the general approach to secondary regulation rather than the substantive contents of instruments dealing with particular topics. Such contents are necessarily dictated by the contents and details of the primary legislation and are likely to vary considerably from one country to another. This checklist, as for the primary legislation checklist, is not intended as directions for approaching these matters but rather as guidance to best practice. Final choices must reflect local circumstances.

    Schlagwort(e): Governance
    Kurzfassung: The development of a regulatory framework which meets EU standards is a major concern in central and eastern European countries, and this not only to foster economic development but also to ensure the wellbeing of the citizen. To achieve this goal, it is important to create a sound institutional structure, to dispose of staff qualified in law drafting, to set up efficient procedures for co-ordination and consultation, and to ensure that the possible impact of new legal instruments is assessed before they are adopted. SIGMA has been requested by several of its beneficiary countries to assist them in this extremely difficult task to set up efficient and effective structures and procedures for law drafting. Besides several workshops which have been carried out regarding crucial issues in law drafting, this checklist has been developed to provide countries with an additional means for self assessment. This checklist offers a means for evaluating structures, procedures and techniques for preparing and drafting legislation, and for identifying methodologies that may be helpful when changes are under consideration. Law drafting comprises two stages: policy development, and preparation of the legislative text to give effect to the policy adopted. The checklist is primarily concerned with the latter. The checklist draws upon experience gathered in OECD and central and eastern European countries. In particular, it takes into account work carried out by the Regulatory Management and Reform Group of the OECD’s Public Management Service (PUMA) and concerns of the EU Phare Programme voiced in the context of the approximation of law with regard to EU accession.

    Kurzfassung: This book shows hows how regulatory reform has produced substantial economic and social benefits for citizens by enhancing competition and reducing regulatory costs. It can boost efficiency, sharply reduce prices, stimulate innovation, and improve the ability of economies to adapt to change and remain competitive in global markets. Properly done, regulatory reform also can help governments promote other important policy goals, such as environmental quality, health, and safety. Finally, country experience shows that disruptions which can accompany reform can be addressed by complementary policies and actions. In this Report, the OECD calls for renewed attention to regulatory reform, and the recommendations in this Report constitute an ambitious plan for action. In May 1997, Ministers of OECD countries welcomed this Report and agreed to work to implement its recommendations in their countries.

    Kurzfassung: This publication is the product of a project which SIGMA started in autumn 1995. The country papers were completed in late spring 1996, and since that time some countries have reviewed their training strategies. Lithuania, for example, has adopted a regulation concerning the qualification of civil servants, which includes training. The rationale for launching this project was the recognised need for more detailed information on training systems and on the organisation of training in central and eastern European countries. This information is essential to the efforts by countries in transition, working in collaboration with the donor community, to develop demand-driven training strategies, efficient structures for civil service training, and cost-effective and sustainable training activities.

    Kurzfassung: Assessing the Impacts of Proposed Laws and Regulations deals with policy assessment and Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA), or the ex ante assessment of how proposed legislation and regulations will affect a country’s economy, society, budget and existing laws, international agreements, etc. Through RIA governments can improve the quality of their interventions by ensuring that the impacts, both intended and unintended, of proposed legislation and regulations are assessed in advance, and form an input into decision-making. This is especially relevant for countries of Central and Eastern Europe in light of European Integration and the need for economic management. This publication is a follow-up to a seminar that was held in Riga on 2 and 3 October 1996 for public officials of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It comprises a brief description of the highlights of the seminar discussions and the three papers that were prepared for the seminar by experts from Canada, France and the United States. Canada and the United States are leaders in RIA technology, and France is adopting new methodologies.

    Kurzfassung: Compliance with the European Union’s budgetary, financial control and audit requirements is one of the basic obligations of EU membership. SIGMA examines this in two publications that chronicle the experiences of seven EU Member States, including its three newest adherents, in integrating EU budgetary, financial control and audit procedures and requirements with national ones. The publications also describe central regulations and procedures used by the European Commission and the European Court of Audit. The present publication complements SIGMA Paper No. 20 Effects of European Union Accession—Part 2, External Audit, on the impact of accession on external audit. The purpose of these publications is to assist central and eastern European countries that have applied for membership of the European Union in discerning the ideas at stake, to give comparative information on the various approaches and solutions used by Member States and to sum up the experiences gained and lessons learned. The approach is to provide an overview of the topic and analyse key issues for reflection and debate. The focus is on practical experiences gained and conclusions drawn by those who have been involved in the daily work of adaptation and development of the government administration in the seven countries. The two publications also provide insight into the implementation policies adopted and an overview of the regulations and procedures used. Appendices include lists of abbreviations and useful terms and a selection of EU

Given the geographical and ethnic diversity of Mexico's regions, as well as their particular cultural and historical traditions, each of the regions making up the Federation calls for a specific development policy. At the same time, economic, political and social equilibria are going to be affected by the trend towards a greater decentralisation of political structures. Mexico is faced with two major challenges. How can consistency of government action be maintained in conjunction with a firm resolve to decentralise? How is it possible to reconcile regional and national development while striving to achieve the country's integration within the world economy? This study, which includes many tables, maps and figures as background material, makes it possible to define these challenges more clearly and therefore to clarify regional policy options for the coming decade.

    Kurzfassung: SIGMA is publishing this report to make more widely available comparative information on administrative law and administrative supervision in central and eastern European countries, and to highlight certain relationships with developments in these areas in Western Europe. Although each country has its own history and traditions in approaching these matters, there is at the same time emerging a common and widely accepted model of how they should be managed in democratic states. This report should be of particular interest to civil servants, government officials, parliamentarians and others with an interest in the development of administrative procedures and oversight institutions.

    Paralleltitel: Parallelausg. Régimes de pension de la fonction publique
    Schlagwort(e): Governance
    Kurzfassung: This publication is a tool for designers of new civil service pension schemes in central and eastern Europe. It presents civil service pension schemes in five OECD Member countries and ten central and eastern European countries. In most central and eastern European countries, people employed in the public administration are covered under common national pension schemes, usually defined in a common pension law. As part of efforts to improve the professionalisation and quality of public administration, countries are defining civil service categories of personnel through civil service legislation. Some countries will introduce specific pension provisions for the public administration employees subject to this legislation. There are at least three obvious reasons for this: to secure the independence of civil servants, to make a public sector career more attractive, and to shift the costs of current remuneration into the future. In most OECD Member countries, civil servants have separate and specially designed pension schemes. These are either totally independent of the common national pension schemes or complementary to them. Conditions vary between countries and so do principles for financing. In one country there might also be several schemes for various categories of state officials and employees. “Pay-as-you-go” schemes financed by the annual state budget exist in several OECD Member countries. When they were introduced, national civil services were small and common pension schemes for the working population at large were lacking. Over the last 30 years, the rapid growth of western public services has not had any major impact on pension costs in pay-as-you-go schemes for demographic reasons and, until recently, the financing of pensions has in many countries stayed unchanged. The long-term nature of pension schemes and the strong interest that civil servants and their unions have in keeping them intact has added to the difficulty of changing them. With changing demography, pensions are becoming a heavy burden on the budget. Pensions imply both considerable running costs and heavy long-term liabilities. That is why many OECD Member countries today are trying to find new solutions to fund the financing costs. Different funding and actuarial techniques can be used to achieve this.

    Schlagwort(e): Environment
    Kurzfassung: The in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation test can be used to detect gene mutations induced by chemical substances. In the cell lines the most commonly-used genetic endpoints measure mutation at thymidine kinase (TK) and hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT), and a transgene of xanthineguanine phosphoribosyl transferase (XPRT). The TK, HPRT and XPRT mutation tests detect different spectra of genetic events. Cells in suspension or monolayer culture are exposed to, at least four analysable concentrations of the test substance, both with and without metabolic activation, for a suitable period of time. They are subcultured to determine cytotoxicity and to allow phenotypic expression prior to mutant selection. It is recommended to utilise at least 106cells. Cytotoxicity is usually determined by measuring the relative cloning efficiency (survival) or relative total growth of the cultures after the treatment period. The treated cultures are maintained in growth medium for a sufficient period of time, characteristic of each selected locus and cell type, to allow near-optimal phenotypic expression of induced mutations. Mutant frequency is determined by seeding known numbers of cells in medium containing the selective agent to detect mutant cells, and in medium without selective agent to determine the cloning efficiency (viability). After a suitable incubation time, colonies are counted.

    Kurzfassung: Over the past decade, the European Commission, as the institution responsible for implementing the Community Budget, has taken an increasingly active interest in the effectiveness of the control measures applied by Member States to Community funds. Indeed, it is in the common interest of the Member States to exercise proper supervision of Community funds. The responses of EU Member States’ Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) to the Commission’s external audit procedures and requirements are divergent for various reasons, including legislative ones. This issue overview paper draws on the separate country papers which describe in more detail the different experiences of selected national SAIs in their co-operation with the Commission’s services and the European Court of Auditors (ECA). The present publication complements SIGMA Paper No. 19 Effects of European Union Accession — Part 1, Budgeting and Financial Control on the impact of accession on budgeting and financial control. In both cases, the approach adopted has been analysis of selected issues for reflection and debate.

    Kurzfassung: The purpose of the in vitro chromosome aberration test is to identify agents that cause structural chromosome aberrations in cultured mammalian somatic cells. Structural aberrations may be of two types: chromosome or chromatid. The in vitro chromosome aberration test may employ cultures of established cell lines, cell strains or primary cell cultures. Cell cultures are exposed to the test substance (liquid or solid) both with and without metabolic activation during about 1.5 normal cell cycle lengths. At least three analysable concentrations of the test substance should be used. At each concentration duplicate cultures should normally be used. At predetermined intervals after exposure of cell cultures to the test substance, the cells are treated with a metaphase-arresting substance, harvested, stained. Metaphase cells are analysed microscopically for the presence of chromosome aberrations.

    Kurzfassung: In many countries a new concept is emerging as an alternative to command-and-control regulation: the concept of shared responsibility between governments and businesses. Governments and businesses are seeing a need for co-operation and partnership, rather than confrontation and adversarial relations. Increasingly, governments and businesses, often represented by business federations, are engaged in dialogue to find more effective and efficient solutions to conflicts between public and private interests, solutions in which multiple public and private bodies set goals, identify solutions, and monitor outcomes. This Occasional Paper contains case studies on different strategies of public/private co-operation from Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.

    Schlagwort(e): Governance
    Kurzfassung: This SIGMA publication is made up of a general report, six country reports and several appendices, such as relevant regulations and the OECD checklist for regulatory decision–making. The general report on law drafting and regulatory management is designed as a hands-on tool for policymakers and law drafting personnel. It points out crucial issues for improving law drafting through creating and enforcing an adequate institutional framework, improving policy development, setting and maintaining law drafting standards, making fuller use of consultation, and improving access to legislation. This report also explains how procedures and standards should be applied to parliamentary initiatives and secondary legislation, as well as discussing the training of law drafters. The country reports offer a full account of law drafting regulations and drafting practice in Albania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia. While reforming regulatory programmes in any democracy is a major endeavour replete with potential pitfalls, central and eastern European countries confront even greater challenges in this area. They must build up regulatory frameworks for economic and political conditions radically different than those which existed just a few years before. In particular, these countries must align their regulatory practices with those of the European Union. This implies the creation of new institutions, and control and monitoring systems.

    Schlagwort(e): Environment
    Kurzfassung: The purpose of the unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) test with mammalian liver cells in vivo is to identify substances that induce DNA repair after excision and removal of a stretch of DNA containing a region of damage induced by chemical substances (solid or liquid) or physical agents in the liver. The test is usually based on the incorporation of tritium-labelled thymidine, 3H-TdR, (during 3-8 hours) into the DNA of liver cells which have a low frequency of cells in the S-phase of the cell cycle. The uptake of 3H-TdR is usually determined by autoradiography. Rats are commonly used, and the number of animals should be at least three analysable animals per group. Normally, at least two dose levels are used. A limit test may be performed if no effects would be expected at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw/d. Test substances are generally administered as a single treatment by gavage using a stomach tube or a suitable intubation cannula. Liver cells are prepared from treated animals 12-16 hours after dosing of animal. After autoradiography, normally 100 cells are scored from each animal from at least two slides. A positive result from the UDS test with mammalian liver cells in vivo indicates that a substance induces DNA damage in mammalian liver cells in vivo that can be repaired by unscheduled DNA synthesis in vitro. A negative result indicates that, under the test conditions, the test substance does not induce DNA damage that is detectable by this test.

    Schlagwort(e): Croats ; Kroatien ; Kroatien
    Kurzfassung: This file consists of five documents with a time coverage from approximately 1840 to 1983. None of these can be considered as comprehensive works dealing with all of Croatia as of the 1990s. The closest to a general survey of the region is the study of southwest Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Dalmatia made by the Croatian economist Rudolf Bićanić in 1935. This work provides much ethnographic data but is restricted to the period of the author's field work (1935). Community studies of the town of Milograd (a pseudonym), a medium-sized industrial town in the Slavonian region of Croatia are provided by Gilliland. The first discusses family values in terms of various aspects of the ethnography (e.g., ritual occasions, courtship and marriage, etc.). The second (written under Olsen) concentrates on socio-economic changes in household structure, particularly in relation to authority and in patterns of conflict and sharing. Bennett, a social anthropologist, presents a detailed study of socio-cultural change in the village of Sutivan on Brac Island on the Dalmatian littoral in Croatia. This study, based on the author's field work in 1970-1971, provides much cultural data on the population of this island. The final document in the Croatia file by Olga Supek, based on field work in 1977-1980, presents a general discussion of the relationship of Mardi Gras (carnival) to social stability and/or instability and change

    Kurzfassung: The Montenegrins live in the republic of Montenegro in Yugoslavia and they are closely related to the Serbs. This collection contains four documents that provide a cultural history of Montenegrin society. The time period covered is from the eighteenth century through the 1960s but most of the materials are historical, dealing with the nineteenth century. Two are historical accounts by foreign travelers who visited Montenegro in the 1800s (Viallade Sommières and Wilkinson). Sommières was an officer in Napoleon's army which occupied the coastal province of Cattaro, and Wilkinson was an Englishman and Fellow of the Royal Society. Both works may be regarded as intelligence gathering trips, describing the terrain, roads, settlements, warfare, leadership, national character and sympathies of Montenegrins. The other two sources are ethnohistorical works by the ethnographer, Christopher Boehm. These focus on the social organization and values and feuding behavior of Montenegrin tribal society before 1900

    Kurzfassung: This collection contains specific information on the Southern Toraja of southern Celebes (Sulawesi) in Indonesia. These people speak the Sa'dan Toraja dialect and are predominantly Christians. This collection contains six documents that cover the time period from ca. 1900 through the early 1980s. The most comprehensive of these is the two volume work by Nooy-Palm dealing with the ethnography of the Southern Toraja of the Tana Toraja region. This work offers a wide range of ethnographic topics including data on geography, social and territorial organization, religion and religious organization, and material culture. The monograph by Volkman which focuses on the village of To' Dama' located in the Mount Sesean area, revolves around the culture history of the community with particular emphasis on the family of Mama' Agus, one of the author's primary informants. This work provides some additional information on the analysis of Southern Toraja society and its rituals. The four Hollan articles deal with religious change in the society, the expression and control of anger and emotions, and cultural beliefs about dreams

    Kurzfassung: Slovenes are Slavic people living in Slovenia, an independent state that was formerly a northwestern republic of Yugoslavia. This collection contains 3 documents covering the period of time from approximately 1850-1975, with most of the data focused on the period from the mid-1940s until 1970. Two of the documents are ethnographies on Slovene peasant society and based largely on fieldwork carried out in the 1960s and 70s (Winner and Minnich). The third work, a chapter from Urban life in Mediterranean Europe, summarizes a Yugoslavian study of a suburban working class community outside of the Slovene capital of Ljubljana (Kremensek). Minnich's study is on the social reproduction of peasant farmsteads. Winner's study is a more comprehensive look at the persistence of Slovene peasant culture and society from the 1840s on. Krememsek's article is a review of a more complete study of the cultural and social changes within a suburban community between the 1850s and 1970s

    Schlagwort(e): Basque Americans ; Basken ; Basken
    Kurzfassung: Basque Americans are an ethnic minority present in every state of the United States and concentrated in California, Idaho, and Nevada. Basques are particularly noted for an identification with sheep herding and are therefore present to some degree in the open-range livestock districts of all thirteen states of the American West. This file consists of nine English language documents, covering a time span from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1990s. Of these, four have been written by William A. Douglass one of the foremost scholars on the Basques. His works provide an excellent background for a study of the Basques of North America, containing information on cultural history, general ethnography, immigration patterns, settlements, and the manner in which Basque ethnicity has been maintained. Nearly all documents in this file contain information on sheep herding, as well as on cultural assimilation, cultural associations, recreational activities, and other forms of economic pursuits (other than sheep herding). In addition to the above, Araujo also provides some interesting data on the effects of hydatid disease (Echinococcosis species) on human and animal populations in California. The significance of the Basque hotel is frequently mentioned in many of the works in this file. A study of the hotel in all its manifestations, is specifically detailed in Echeverria

    Schlagwort(e): Toraja (Indonesian people) ; Toradja ; Toradja
    Kurzfassung: This collection contains specific information on the Eastern Toraja (the Bareë speakers) of central Celebes (Sulawesi) in Indonesia. It consists of five documents, one in English (Downs) and the other four are translations from the Dutch (Adriani and Kruyt: 1950-1951). Kruyt was a missionary and Adriani was a linguist. Their combined fieldwork stretched from the 1890s to the 1940s. The four-volume work by Adriani and Kruyt make up the bulk of this file and provide a very comprehensive study of traditional Toraja ethnography that ranges in coverage from the precontact to early contact periods. The monograph by Downs, an anthropologist, is a critical analysis of the works of Adriani and Kruyt and is a more concise and manageable summary of Eastern Toraja culture, although its major concentration is on religion

    Schlagwort(e): Mataco Indians ; Mataco ; Mataco
    Kurzfassung: The Mataco are Native Americans who live in the northern and central Gran Chaco from Bolivia to Argentina. This file consists of eight documents, two of which are translations from Spanish (Pelleschi and Métraux 1944) and one from French (Dijour). The works of Pelleschi, Métraux, and to some extent Karsten complement one another and provide an excellent background for a study of the traditional Mataco culture (relevant to the periods of the authors' fieldwork ranging from approximately 1875 to the late 1930s). Alvarsson's monograph reviews previous literature on the area, provides additional reconstructive information on the Mataco before the colonization of the area, and updates the existing ethnographic data. This document, used in conjunction with the works of Pelleschi, Métraux, and Karsten, should provide the reader with a relatively complete overview of Mataco culture and society. Other works in the file provide information on Mataco folktales, marriage customs, suicide, and curing ceremonies

    Schlagwort(e): Sinhalese (Sri Lankan people) ; Singhalesen ; Singhalesen
    Kurzfassung: The Sinhalese are the dominant ethnic group in Sri Lanka. There are ten documents in this file, focused mainly on the Kandyan Sinhalese. The dates of coverage range from 1860 to the 1980s; with most of the fieldwork done in the 1950s and 1960s. Many of these works are heavily oriented to kinship and its integration into other cultural aspects of the society. Yalman's work, based on seven community studies, is probably the best general source on Kandyan kinship and its relation to other aspects of the culture. While most of the kinship documents tend to be concerned with the theoretical considerations of British kinship and social structure studies, they are well supported with case histories and community studies material which provide more than just kinship information. A number provide additional ethnographic data on social structure, architecture, material culture, religion, politics, culture history, and the ethnic conflict between the majority Sinhalese population and the minority Tamils

    Kurzfassung: The Bosnian Muslims file consists of nine works. Five by William G. Lockwood provide a broad range of ethnographic topics plus a focus on social organization. Lockwood's studies center around the village of Planinica in the Skoplje Polje region of Bosnia and Herzegovina and provide information on the market economy, social organization, forms of marriage among rural Muslims, social change, culture history, and the function and role of songs in terms of their relationship to social structure. Donia traces the political, social, economic and cultural foundations of the Bosnian Muslims from the beginning of the Ottoman period (1463) to the 1960s

    Schlagwort(e): Tarahumara Indians ; Tarahumara ; Tarahumara
    Kurzfassung: The Tarahumara are Native Americans who live in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico and who speak a Uto-Aztecan language. This file consists of eleven documents nearly all written by professional anthropologists, whose collective fieldwork experience among the Tarahumara ranges in time from 1891 to 1989. Probably one of the most comprehensive studies in the file on traditional Tarahumara ethnography is that done by Bennett and Zingg. Although the fieldwork for this study was done in the 1930s, this work, nevertheless, provides an excellent introduction to the study of traditional Tarahumara society. It should be noted, however that this monograph has been criticized by a later ethnologist for factual errors in the data. Some of the major topics discussed by additional works include culture history, material culture, socio-cultural change, social organization, ideal and practical norms of behavior, and the ecological relationship between the Tarahumara and their environment. Other documents provide additional data on sorcery, residential mobility, kinship, ceremonial behavior, curing, religion, social conformity, and lying in relation to informant/author relationships

    Schlagwort(e): Serbian Americans ; Serben ; Serben
    Kurzfassung: This file is made up of ten documents almost entirely on Serbs in the United States and dealing with a wide range of ethnographic topics. Cultural assimilation and adaptation to American society, as well as the maintenance of Serbian ethnic identity are discussed to some extent in nearly all the works but are given special attention by Padgett, Simić, and Matejec. A study of the Serbian American community in the San Francisco Bay Area for the period of 1918-1980s, is found in Vucinich. This document discusses Serbian immigration to the area, the culture history of the region, socio-political organization, literary activities, and the effects of the European "wars of liberation" on the Serbian American population. Brkich's work describes the origin, development, activities, and significance of various Serbian organizations in the United States, with particular emphasis on the Serbian Mutual Aid Societies. The three publications in this file by Simić deal with the concept of aging in Serbian American society, the institution of slava or "baptismal glorification", and the Serbian family. The study by Vrga presents an analysis of the various factors promoting ethno-religious factionalism in the Serbian Orthodox Church in America in the early 1960s. Gakovich presents a bibliography of documents on Serbian life in the United States and Canada up to 1990. His work also contains a list of Serbian newspapers and periodicals which are active or no longer active in the field of publication for the period of 1869-1990. This document also contains a directory of Serbian churches and monasteries in the United States and Canada

    Schlagwort(e): Korean Americans ; Koreaner ; Koreaner
    Kurzfassung: Korean Americans are a North American ethnic minority. This file is made up of seventeen documents that span the mid-nineteenth century through the mid-1980s. The documents cover issues of immigrant history and adaptation, entrepreneurs and business, women and kinship. General history and survey of Korean-Americans are found in Kim, H.; Ryu; and Choy. Studies centered on the Korean community in Chicago discuss social and cultural adjustment and the importance of the family and kinship in this process. Other local studies look at the establishment of the Korean community in New York City, social networks in two Georgian Korean communities, and family and kinship networks in the Los Angeles. Several studies examine the changing status and roles of Korean women in the United States, and the particular role they play in maintaining ethnic identity. The rest of the studies examine Korean- American entrepreneurship and business and the work patterns of Korean families

    Schlagwort(e): Serbs ; Orašac (Serbia) ; Yugoslavia--Social life and customs ; Serben ; Serben
    Kurzfassung: This collection about the Serbs consists of thirty-five documents and 1577 digital images. Serbia is one of two republics within Yugoslavia. Serbs are Slavs and practice the Serbian Orthodox religion. The most comprehensive coverage is provided by Joel M. Halpern and Barbara Kerewsky-Halpern. Their fieldwork (1953-1986) focused on the village of Orasac, a typical Serbian peasant community. Their works concentrate on historical and cultural change and theory, ethno-medicine, the economy, linguistics, oral literature, ritual laments, and memory recall. Their photograph collection represents episodes of their fieldwork, and documents many changes in architecture, household furnishings, dress, agricultural tools, and commerce. The participation of the Halperns and their children in community life is also depicted in these pictures. Lodge presents data on Serbian cultural history and ethnography from 550 A.D. to 1939 A.D. The remaining documents cover topics such as: religion; folk psychology and folk medicine; the economy; kinship; the family; nationalism; literature; fertility and reproduction; women's roles; urban and rural life, and time, in relationship to economic and social development

    Schlagwort(e): Yakut (Turkic people) ; Yakut (Turkick people) ; Jakutien ; Jakutien
    Kurzfassung: The Yakut, including the Dolgan, are the farthest north Turkic people. They live in Yakutia, the Sovereign Sakha Republic of the Russian Federation formed in 1992. This file consists of 17 excerpted or complete documents based primarily on fieldwork carried out in two periods: the late 1800s and the 1920s and 30s. The most comprehensive accounts of Yakut culture from each of these periods are Sieroszewski and Jochelson (1933). The earliest account on the Yakut is based on reports from a late-18th-century geographical expedition (Sauer). Topics covered by individual papers include history, material culture, shamanism and other religious ritual, clan system, reindeer herding and transportation, making of kumiss and associated rites, and folk tales. There are also two works are on the cultural history and family life of the closely related Dolgan people

    Schlagwort(e): Kagaba Indians ; Cágaba ; Cágaba
    Kurzfassung: The Kogi live in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in northern Colombia where they practice agricultural transhumance. The Kogi language belongs to the Chibchan family. This file contains eleven sources, nine of them written by Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff, the leading authority on the Kogi. His writings are based on field work carried out over three decades from 1950 to 1980. His major two-volume ethnography on the Kogi was written in Spanish and covered material culture, economy, social organization, life-cycle, values, religion, mythology, and psycho-cultural patterns. His subsequent works included in the file focuses on specific cultural behavior: funeral ceremony; the training of Kogi priests; the religious symbolism of the loom; environmental adaptation; and cosmology. The two other sources are Preuss, also on Kogi mythology and religion, and Park, which is the entry on the Kogi (Cagaba) for the Handbook of South American Indians

    Paralleltitel: Parallelausg. Evolution des rémunérations du secteur public dans les pays de l'OCDE 1997
    Schlagwort(e): Governance
    Kurzfassung: The reform of pay determination systems has been completed in some OECD countries. This report presents information on the procedures which governments have developed to carry out reforms, and on the results obtained, particularly when the reforms have a positive impact on holding down public expenditure. Comparative analysis of public sector pay determination systems in OECD countries illustrates the wide variety of methods of determining public sector remuneration and shows that each country adapts the instruments available to its own institutional structure and economic and social constraints. Those countries which have not opted for radical change are taking a phased, pragmatic approach, lending weight to the view that reform of pay determination systems is extending to all OECD countries.
