<p>This study focuses on socio-cultural issues, which affect Kavango women&rsquo / s decision to participate in the PMTCT programme. It investigates the treatment methods used by HIV-positive pregnant women for themselves and their unborn babies, neonatally, during pregnancy and after delivery, particularly in relation to the prevention of transmission of HIV. The thesis further investigates whether women choose alternative services such as traditional healers for medical attention during pregnancy, birth and post-natally. The research aims to establish and describe the role of local notions and practices concerning anti-retrovirals on the aforementioned programme. Ethnographic and thus qualitative research methods were used to gather and analyze data. I spent three months working as a nurse in two health facilities that offer PMTCT in Rundu, Kavango. I also held semi-structured and open-ended interviews, formal and informal discussions, formal and informal focus groups with nurses, community counselors, pregnant women, women who had recently given birth in the health care facility and traditional health care practitioners. In the case of the latter, I utilized narratives of healing to understand their perception of HIV/AIDS, their beliefs and practices as well as their healing methods. Furthermore, I employed other informal conversations outside the formal research participants. The study shows that there is a paucity of partner involvement and in some cases women have to first seek permission from their partner before enrolling into the programme. My research findings further indicate that women utilized various traditional herbal medicines for themselves and their babies as part of their cultural beliefs and practices. It was evident that some of these, such as Likuki, affect women&rsquo / s participation in and adherence to the protocols of the PMTCT programme. </p>

The collaboration forms between communities and institutions of culture and art. Key words: community, culture, social-cultural work, national minority. In the process of forming democratic and public policy of nation it is extremely important that every member of it completely would feel himself the part of the society. National minorities and their cultural self-expressions, that perform both the role of spiritual movement and strengthening national identity, are analyzed in this work. This work is based on the research of collaboration between national minorities and both culture and art institutions (66 Karaiten, Tartaren, Jews and Romany minorities’ persons were polled). The date of the research illustrates the cultural and social situation of national minorities, the spiritual demands of community members, qualities and weaknesses of their cultural life. Also the importance of this cooperation to the individuals and all the ethnic communities is emphasized as well as that essential changes in the process of cultural and spiritual live determine participation of the numbers of community in the cultural activities. The results of the research show how creative work in the community and cultural institutions stimulate the integration of national minorities, the internal socialization inside the community and emphasize the gaps and perspectives of the cultural cooperation. Hopefully, that members’ spiritual experience of communities will enrich the life of the community... [to full text]

Temos aktualumas. 2000 m. Europos viršūnių susitikime Lisabonoje buvo priimta Strategija, kurios tikslas – pasiekti, kad ES per dešimtmetį taptų konkurencingiausia ir dinamiškiausia ekonomika pasaulyje, pajėgi darniai augti. Viena iš sąlygų – stiprinant socialinę sanglaudą. Todėl ir Lietuvoje dėmesys turėtų būti sutelktas į vieną iš svarbiausių sričių – žmoniškųjų išteklių ugdymą, investicijas į žmogų. Bendruomenė – viena svarbiausių socialinio gyvenimo savivaldos, bendradarbiavimo, socialinių subjektų bendradarbiavimo, kūrybiškumo, iniciatyvumo, vertybinio mąstymo ugdymo terpė. Kultūrinė (dvasinė) struktūra užtikrina kultūrinių – estetinių, dvasinių, aukštesnių vertybių patenkinimą. Todėl šioje studijoje bandėme diagnozuoti ir nurodyti galimybes kaip regioniniame mieste galima tenkinti bendruomenės sociokultūrinius poreikius. Prasminga bendruomenės sociokultūrinė veikla gali padėti kurti vieningą, tikslingą veiklą įprasminančią aukštesnėmis vertybėmis pagrįstą bendradarbiavimo, partnerystės sistemą. Bendruomenėje, kitose visuomenės sferose reikšmingus darbus gali nuveikti vadybos pagrindus gavęs kvalifikuotas socialinis darbuotojas, gebantis kritiškai, analitiškai mąstyti, bendradarbiauti ir mokyti kitus dirbti komandoje, būti pokyčių skatintoju. Vertindami Lietuvos regioninę politiką turime konstatuoti, kad periferijoje esančių bendruomenei įtaką darančių kultūros židinių (sociokultūrinių institucijų) veiklos, tenkinant ir ugdant bendruomenės poreikius, problema yra labai...

Creative industries have significance in considerations of regional development because of their potential for both social-cultural and political-economic benefit. This is especially the case in Indigenous communities, given the potential of traditional and contemporary cultural expression for industry development and employment. This research set out to explore and evaluate an action research approach to creative industries development in regional contexts, stimulated by a research initiative of　Queensland's Department of State Development in cooperation with Queensland University of Technology's Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre. It is based on an analysis of seven pilot projects undertaken between 2002 and 2004, most of which involved Indigenous　participation and which gave rise to consideration of the additional value of Indigenist research perspectives. The research found that an action research methodology, informed by Indigenist research values, can assist creative enterprise development in a regional context through the development of new businesses or by value-adding to existing businesses, and the consequent generation and exploitation of new intellectual property. In this process, it found that there is an emerging role for the creative entrepreneur, such a role arising from the practices of community cultural development and social-cultural animation.

Na busca por soluções organizacionais, modelos alternativos de redes de cooperação, como forma otimizada de gestão, vêm sendo pesquisados e propostos. O conceito de empresa virtual é uma destas propostas, tendo como característica a integração de competências de diferentes empresas que se unem para satisfazer oportunidades específicas de negócio. Um ambiente adequado para as empresas virtuais se constituírem rapidamente é através da criação de organizações virtuais, formadas por empresas pré-dispostas a cooperarem e que juntas, buscam novas oportunidades de mercado. O pré-requisito para seu adequado funcionamento depende de quatro infra-estruturas: física, legal, de informação e a sócio-cultural. A ausência de estudos e ações aprofundadas sobre a parte sócio-cultural pode inviabilizar o bom desempenho das organizações virtuais devido, principalmente a falta de cultura de cooperação baseada na confiança. No sentido de minimizar o problema, este trabalho define uma infra-estrutura sócio-cultural essencial que suporta a participação de empresas em organizações virtuais contribuindo para um maior conhecimento científico sobre aspectos sócio-culturais em ambientes dinâmicos e viabilizando maiores chances de sucesso das organizações virtuais. Esta infra-estrutura é baseada em estudo de caso numa organização virtual brasileira onde, numa experiência de três anos, benefícios, problemas e sugestões são apresentados servindo assim, como um referencial para futuras organizações virtuais. / The actual fast dynamic in the business impose of the enterprises more flexibility and so an inquiry for organizational solutions to make this enterprises competitivities. New alternative models of cooperation chain between enterprises as a way of optimized management have been research and proposal. The Virtual Enterprise concept is one of this proposes having as characteristic the integration of the abilities, or competences, of this existent enterprises join itself to satisfy specific opportunities of business. One manner to create a proper environment to quickly constitute a virtual enterprise is among the creation of a Virtual Organization, formed by enterprises predisposes and qualified to cooperate seeking together new opportunities to operate in the market. This organizations owing for a good growth four substructures: physical, legal, of information and social-cultural. The absence of profound studies and actions about the social-cultural substructure can make unable the good performance of the virtual organizations due, mainly, to the absence of the cooperation culture based in trust. In sense to minimize this problem this work define a essential social-cultural substructure to support the participation of enterprises in Virtual Organizations contributing to a scientific knowledge about social-cultural aspects in dynamics environments and allowing higher chances of success of the Virtual Organizations. This substructure is based in a study of case in the brazilian virtual organization, where in a experience among three years, benefit, problems and suggestions are presented serving so as a referential to the future virtual organizations.

Durant la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle, en Espagne, tout particulièrement à Madrid, principal lieu de résidence de la Cour et capitale du royaume, divers facteurs historiques, culturels et artistiques engendrèrent une évolution de la profession de comédienne vers une spécialisation lyrique.Dans chaque compagnie, le nombre de comédiennes-chanteuses augmenta régulièrement, les attributions de chacune (fonction ou emploi) se précisant peu à peu jusqu’à l’interprétation exclusive de drames en musique en espagnol. Aussi, la place principale que l’on attribua désormais aux comédiennes-chanteuses modifia-t-elle leur existence, leur formation et l’exercice de leur métier. D’autre part, la présence d’interprètes lyriques italiens à Madrid entre 1737 et 1759 réorienta l’évolution des fonctions des chanteuses espagnoles.Dans une perspective historique et sociale centrée sur la période 1700-1767, cette étude considère tout d’abord les origines et la vie privée de ces artistes dans la Villa y Corte, puis les différents aspects de leur vie professionnelle, enfin leur place dans la société madrilène et plus largement espagnole, ainsi que le regard porté sur elles par leurs contemporains. / During the first half of the XVIIIth century in Spain, particularly in Madrid, principal place of residence of the Court and capital of the Kingdom, various historical, cultural and artistic factors engendered an evolution of the profession of comedienne towards a more specialized lyrical interpretation.In each company, the number of comedienne-singers regularly increased, their remit becoming little by little more defined, until they reached the exclusive stage of interpreting musical dramatizations in Spanish. Consequently, the new position attributed from then on to the comediennes-singers altered their existence, their training and the practice of their art. Moreover, the presence of Italian opera singers in Madrid between 1737 and 1759 re-oriented the evolution of the role of Spanish singers.In a historical and social perspective focused on the period 1700-1767, this study considers initially the origins and private life of these artists in the Villa y Corte, then the different aspects of their professional life and finally their position in the Madrid society and, more widely, in the Spanish society, as well as the way they were considered by their contemporaries.

When we are outdoors we rely on the things we bring. By questioning, if the outdoors are freely accessible and detached from our capitalistic world, I identified that to- day’s outdoor equipment industry is not only enjoying great popularity, but is also having the tendency to stay in its comfort zone, mainly engaging in ecological spheres of sustainability. With my bachelor’s thesis project, Friluftsliv för Alla?, I had the aim to initiate a shift, to broaden one’s mind, and to put a focus beyond the sustainability indicator of a product. Together with my collaborator ‘Friluftsfrämjandet’, a Swedish outdoor association, I shared concerns about social-cultural sustainability in the area of outdoor recreation, and started to look at the people who are in need of gear. An item that sparked a lot of my interest was the indispensable shelter, that is needed when we want to spend a good amount of time outside in nature. With the help of my sponsors and other stakeholders I was able to craft a fully functioning tent, that is supposed to be used and shared unconditionally.
