This practice based PhD project investigates the language ideologies which surround the specific multilingual context of rural primary education in Zambia. The project comprises of a creative documentary film and a complementary written submission. The fieldwork and filming of the project took place over 12 months between September 2011 and August 2012 in the community of Lwimba, in Chongwe District, Zambia. The project focuses on the experiences of a single grade one class, their teacher, and the surrounding community of Lwimba. The majority of the school children speak the community language of Soli. The regional lingua franca, and language of the teacher, however, is Nyanja, and the students must also learn Zambia’s only official language, English. At the centre of the project is a research inquiry focusing on the language ideologies which surround each of these languages, both within the classroom and the wider rural community. The project also simultaneously aims to investigate and reflect on the capacity of creative documentary film to engage with linguistic anthropological research. The film at the centre of the project presents a portrait of Annie, a young, urban teacher of the community’s grade one class, as well as three students and their families. Through the narrativised experiences of the teacher and children, it aims to highlight the linguistic ideologies present within the language events and practices in and around the classroom, as well as calling attention to their intersection with themes of linguistic modernity, multilingualism, and language capital. The project’s written submission is separated into three major chapters separated into the themes of narrative, value and text respectively. Each chapter will focus on subjects related to both the research inquiry and the project’s documentary film methodology. Chapter one outlines the intersection of political-historical narratives of nationhood and language that surround the project, and reflects on the practice of internal narrative construction within documentary film. Chapter two firstly focuses on the language valuations within the institutional setting of the classroom and the wider community, and secondly proposes a two-phase perspective of evaluation and value creation as a means to examine the practice of editing within documentary film making. Chapter three addresses the theme of text through discussing the role of literacy acquisition and use in the classroom and community, as well as analysing and reflecting on the practice of translation and subtitle creation within the project.

Magister Legum - LLM / Stateless children and those at risk of becoming stateless has been an ongoing issue both on a domestic level as well as internationally. In many African countries children face discriminatory and arbitrary nationality laws as a result of which they are not registered and granted citizenship in their country of birth or where they are found or undocumented. Thus, children continue to be stateless and will not be able to register their own children once they become parents. As a result, this creates an issue of transgenerational statelessness which will continue indefinitely and as such, requires attention and action both on a domestic and international level as a matter of urgency. While laws have been enacted in the aim to protect stateless children or children at risk of becoming stateless, the lack of guidelines in the implementation thereof creates a difficulty for children to acquire a nationality. States in this regard have the responsibility to create mechanisms to facilitate the implementation of laws especially when dealing with vulnerable groups such as stateless children.

Urban development has long been the major threat to archaeological sites. Recent theoretical discussions advocate that archaeological sites in urban areas should be protected not only through technical solutions and archaeological studies, but also through spatial planning processes, which define basic mechanisms to direct and control the urban development. Despite a specific type of spatial plan, the &amp / #8216 / conservation plan&amp / #8217 / in Turkish legislation, negative impacts of urban development on archeological sites could not be successfully eliminated. This is due to the reason that conservation and planning systems do not concern &amp / #8216 / integration of the archaeological site with the urban built environment&amp / #8217 / , which results in either isolation or destruction of the archaeological remains. Based on this assumption, the objective of this dissertation is to determine in which points Turkish conservation and planning systems fail to achieve integration and how this failure could be overcame. Turkish conservation and planning systems are evaluated on selected case study area, Soli-Pompeiopolis Archaeological Site, by using three-step qualitative analysis methodology. First, conservation and planning decisions and the built environment shaped by these decisions are examined in details through process analysis. Then, based on qualities of spatial planning process redefined through theoretical discussions, &amp / #8216 / process integration&amp / #8217 / and &amp / #8216 / outcome integration&amp / #8217 / are evaluated through context analysis. Lastly, reasons of problematic issues on integration are discussed through causality analysis. Concluding the study, a discussion is carried on how to achieve &amp / #8216 / integration of conservation of archaeological sites in urban areas into spatial planning processes&amp / #8217 / by making modifications within the &amp / #8216 / Turkish conservation and planning systems&amp / #8217 / .

In this work, two particular orthogonal and conformal decompositions of the 3+1 dimensional Einstein equation and Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) formalism for general relativity are obtained. In order to do these, the 3+1 foliation of the four-dimensional spacetime, the fundamental conformal transformations and the Hamiltonian form of general relativity that leads to the ADM formalism, de

Johann Joachim Quantz, am 30. Januar 1697 im niedersächsischen Oberscheden geboren und am 12. Juli 1773 in Potsdam gestorben, gilt nicht nur als einer der bedeutendsten Flötenvirtuosen seiner Zeit, sondern hatte sich auch einen großen Namen gemacht als Lehrer des Flöte spielenden Preußenkönigs Friedrich II. und als Verfasser des theoretischen und selbst noch für die heutige Musikforschung wichtigen Grundlagenwerkes Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traversiere zu spielen (1752)1. Überdies hatte er ein umfangreiches OEuvre an Kompositionen – Konzerte und kammermusikalische Werke vornehmlich für sein Instrument – geschaffen, die zumeist für seinen königlichen Schüler bestimmt waren, an dessen Hof er seit Dezember 1741 lebte und wirkte. Zwar gehörten die Jahre am preußischen Hof für den Flötenmeister zu den wichtigsten seines Lebens und Schaffens, jedoch war seine vorangegangene Anstellung – seit 1718 als Mitglied der so genannten »Polnischen Capelle«2 und seit 1728 Flötist in der Hofkapelle – am Hofe August II. (des Starken) in Dresden für seine Entwicklung und Reife entscheidend. Dort hatte er nicht nur Gelegenheit, die hohe künstlerische Qualität der vorzüglichen Hofkapelle hauptsächlich unter Leitung von Johann Georg Pisendel (1687–1755) zu erleben und späterhin mitzugestalten, sondern sich frühzeitig durch gründlichen Unterricht beim ersten Flötisten der Königlichen Kapelle, Pierre Gabriel Buffardin (1689–1768), ausbilden zu lassen und sich selbst zu einem herausragenden Musiker zu entwickeln. Während einer dreijährigen Studienreise (1724–1727) nach Italien, Frankreich und England machte er sich mit den bekanntesten Instrumentalisten und Gesangskünstlern bekannt, versuchte, sich auch kompositorisch weiter zu bilden (u. a. Unterricht bei Francesco Gasparini) und studierte mit Eifer die Eigenheiten und Besonderheiten des italienischen und französischen Nationalstils.

Sodium chloride is an integral part of our nutrition and has an important function in the metabolism of the human organism. It contains sodium which is one of the basic minerals of the body. Although the salt is necessary for our body, its excess intake leads to a number of negative health effects. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the physiological importance of sodium chloride and the negative effect of salt on the body. It also deals with legislative requirements for salt, the recommended daily doses and trends in the consumption of salt. Last but not least, inform about therapeutic nutrition and the prevention of diseases associated with excess salt intake. The aim of the work is to make an overview of the importance and use of salts and the negative health effects of excess salt in human nutrition and further laboratory verification of the salt content in selected food and compared the measured results with the data on the salt content listed on the packaging. Part of the work is sample menus with different content of salt. The assembled full-day menus using the program Nutriservis represent, how to eat properly and to follow the health recommendations for salt intake according to the WHO and at the same time contain examples of bad menus with overdue daily amount of salt. For...

The main goal of this thesis was to find and compare salt-forming ions from samples of a subsurface zone of sandstone and other porous rocks. The surveyed samples came from different environments (humid and arid climate) from different locations in the Czech Republic, Jordan and the United States of America. Identification of various types of salt was based on evaluation of chemical analyzes of leached samples. Furthermore a laboratory experiment in which I used a fluorescein dye to observe the capillary rise and evaporation in unsaturated samples of sandstone was carried out. The salt content in the Czech Republic humid environment locations is generally lower than the one in foreign arid climate locations. Halit dominates in the locations Petra and Crystal Peak. In the other locations sulphate minerals dominate. The salts containing aluminum - alums were determined in the Czech Republic in the area of Czech Paradise and the surrounding. Relatively high concentrations of nitrate mineral nitratine were identified in the Devil's Pulpit location in Pilsen, the Czech Republic. From the observation of capillary rising experiments performed with artificially created honeycombs, I conclude that the height of the capillary rise is crucial for the transport of solution, and at a certain capillary height,...

Performance issues related to Soli by Carlos Chávez and Two Little Serious Pieces by Silvestre Revueltas. Chapters one and two provide a brief biography of each composer. Chapter three is an examination of their musical style and the influence that indigenous Indian music, popular music and nationalism had on their styles. Chapter four provides an investigation of Soli by Carlos Chávez, a chamber piece written for oboe, B-flat clarinet, bassoon and B-flat trumpet. Chapter five offers an examination of Two Little Serious Pieces by Silvestre Revueltas, a wind quintet for piccolo, oboe, C trumpet, B-flat clarinet and baritone saxophone. Chapters four and five contain an analysis of these pieces with regard to melodic and harmonic material, tonality, texture, range, phrase structure and form. Performance issues, such as tempo, dynamics, articulation, rhythm and style are likewise addressed with the result being an interpretive analysis of each piece. The final chapter offers a comparative analysis of Soli and Two Little Serious Pieces relative to the topics discussed in chapters four and five.
