Os mais “conservadores” admitem que os mecklenburgueses chegaram “antes de 1824”, “estabeleceram-se em Santa Catarina” ou “desapareceram devido a sua conduta imoral”, sem de fato analisar o movimento de seus agentes. Com base nessa premissa, a presente pesquisa dedica-se a estudar a composição, a condição social e as estratégias de um grupo de emigrantes provenientes das Casas de Correção, Trabalho e Penitenciárias do Grão-Ducado de Mecklenburg-Schwerin, estabelecidos no Rio Grande do Sul, a partir da primeira metade do século XIX. Além disso, pretende, a partir da genealogia de algumas famílias de ex-prisioneiros, estabelecidos em São Leopoldo, Três Forquilhas ou São João das Missões, a partir de 1824, sob o qualificativo de colonos, enfocar o estabelecimento de laços familiares e a constituição de redes de parentesco. Trataremos especialmente as relações que se firmaram através das estratég

This dissertation explores women's activism in the anti-abortion movement in the United States, from the 1960s through the close of the twentieth century. I study the transformation of the movement, from its origins in the Catholic Church in the 1960s, to the influx of evangelical Christians into the movement in the early 1980s. My primary sources include organizational records, personal papers, newspapers, legal documents, and oral histories. I analyze women's roles within the movement and the religious contexts that influenced their ideology and informed their choice of tactics. Anti-abortion activism provided a forum for many religiously conservative women to engage in public debates, shape public policy, and protest publicly. First, I examine the relationships between women who established national anti-abortion organizations with those women who participated in grassroots activism. I suggest that evangelical Protestant women were more likely to hold leadership positions in the mainstream movement because most leaders in the evangelical grassroots wing of the movement enforced a patriarchal organizational structure. On the other hand, progressive Catholic women had considerably more influence in the grassroots organizations they formed apart from the Roman Catholic Church. Second, I address how women responded to the rise of the New Right and the subsequent influx of evangelical Christians into the movement. I trace the history of violence in the history and suggest that women had prepared the movement to accept the radicalism of evangelical Christians by the 1980s. By focusing on women, I seek to reveal the contradictions between religiously conservative ideas about proper gender roles that many women in the movement espoused and the actual work they performed as activists.

In 1990 the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) required that states provide a free and appropriate education to all children and youth with disabilities, no matter how severe the disabilities. This obligation was tied to federal funding and outlined in detail parental rights with regard to identifying and educating their child with disabilities. The 1997 reauthorization of IDEA stepped into school discipline, creating a complex process for addressing school misconduct of such students. This study determines how the 1997 IDEA disciplinary mandates, as they existed until May 2003, were interpreted and implemented in three similar, urban, public school districts and how selected staff members perceived that implementation. School board policies in the three, urban, K-12, public school districts were very similar and, in many cases, drew language directly from the IDEA law. In each district, additional documents were developed providing detailed instruction to school based educators working directly with students with disabilities and their families. The policies and guidelines reflect a clear commitment to compliance with IDEA mandates. It was not possible through this study to assess whether the spirit of the law is part of the district culture. Staff were knowledgeable of IDEA provisions and where to seek assistance within their respective organizations. Administrators and attorneys stated that their responsibilities have expanded since the 1997 reauthorization and that more of their and their staff members' time is used addressing disciplinary issues. School principals reported concerns about the length of time it takes initially to identify students with disabilities and application of the dual discipline system created by the 1997 mandates. A majority of the principals expressed concern about the dual discipline systems. It would be helpful to undertake a longitudinal study of teachers and their attitudes towards students with disabilities.

Die Arbeit hat das Ziel, auf der Grundlage der natürlichen Standortfaktoren die Entwicklung der Getreideproduktion zwischen den Jahren 1900 und 2000 aufzuzeigen. Dabei sollen die Betrachtungszeiträume historischen Ereignissen, die Rahmenbedingungen für die Produktion bilden, angepasst werden. Für die recht unterschiedlichen Zeiträume werden für die einzelnen Getreidearten die Erträge ermittelt und der jeweils erzielte lineare Ertragsanstieg errechnet. Daran schließt sich dann eine Darstellung des spezifischen Produktionsverfahrens an, um die Ursachen für den erzielten Ertragsanstieg in der jeweiligen Periode aufzuzeigen. Die Verfahrensanalyse erstreckt sich auf die Einordnung in die Fruchtfolge, die Bodenbearbeitung und Bestellung, sowie auf die Düngung, Pflege und Ernte. Die Maßnahmen des Pflanzenschutzes werden nur sehr allgemein im Rahmen der Pflege des Getreides behandelt und die Züchtung begrenzt sich auf erforderliche Hinweise im Rahmen der Ertragsentwicklung. Es werden mehr die Einflüsse der klassischen acker- und pflanzenbaulichen Maßnahmen auf die Getreideproduktion im genannten Zeitraum innerhalb bestimmter Perioden, für die gleichen Rahmenbedingungen gelten, analysiert. Grundlage bilden die langjährigen Angaben über die Erträge der Getreidearten, die im Statistischen Landesamt vorliegen und Veröffentlichungen in Form von Lehrbüchern und Artikeln in Fachzeitschriften des zurückliegenden Jahrhunderts. Gewisse Probleme bereitet die Differenzierung zwischen Erkenntnisfortschritt und tatsächlicher Anwendung in der Praxis. Bestehende Disproportionen werden besonders bei dem Vergleich von Empfehlungen und statistischen Angaben zur Düngung offensichtlich, um ein charakteristisches Beispiel zu nennen. In der Arbeit wird an den betreffenden Stellen darauf hingewiesen. Neben diesen Quellen wurden für Zeiten mit eingeschränkten Publikationsnachweisen noch ältere Landwirte als Zeitzeugen befragt. Dadurch konnten wesentliche Lücken geschlossen werden. Im Ergebnis der analytischen Betrachtung sollen Lösungen für die Getreideproduktion der kommenden Jahre in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern aufgezeigt werden. Dabei wird dem Getreideanbau auf den Grenzstandorten besondere Beachtung zugemessen. / The objective of this work is to demonstrate the development of cereal production between 1900 and 2000 based on natural site-specific factors. In so doing, the periods under consideration are to be studied in correlation with the historical events that formed the framework conditions for production. For each of the various periods, the yields for individual cereal types shall be determined and the respective linear increases in yield shall be calculated. This will be followed by a representation of specific production procedures in order to demonstrate the reasons for the increases in yield for each period. The procedural analysis will cover the categories of crop rotation, soil preparation and treatment, fertilisation, care of crops and harvesting. Crop protection measures will only be touched on generally as is relevant to the care of cereals, and the consideration of cultivation will be limited to necessary indications pertaining to yield development. The work shall, instead, focus on the analysis of the influences of traditional agricultural and horticultural measures on cereal production in the aforementioned period within certain timeframes in which the same framework conditions are present. The basis for this study is formed by several years' worth of data on various cereal yields available from the national statistics office as well as textbook publications and articles in trade publications from the previous century. Certain problems arise when differentiating between the acquisition of knowledge and the actual widespread application thereof. To name a typical example, existing disproportions become particularly obvious when comparing recommendations and statistical details for fertilisation. References shall be made to such discrepancies where appropriate. In addition to theses sources, older generation farmers have been polled as witnesses of time periods for which limited data was available in the form of publications. This approach enabled significant gaps in information to be filled. The objective of these analytical results is to indicate solutions for future cereal production in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Special consideration will be given to the cultivation of cereals in border locations.
