Yes / DNA analysis demonstrates that all seven individuals buried in an Early Iron Age barrow at Dolge njive, southeast Slovenia, are close biological relatives. Although group composition does not suggest strict adherence to a patrilineal or matrilineal kinship system, the funerary tradition appears highly gendered, with family links through both the male and female line being important in structuring communities. We explore the implications for our understandings of kinship and funerary practices in Early Iron Age southeast Europe. / This research forms part of ENTRANS: a collaborative project involving the Universities of Bradford, Zagreb and Ljubljana, and the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia. ENTRANS (PI: Armit) received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 291827.

Research for this paper also received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 834087 (COMMIOS).

The discovery and excavation of Long Barrows has been one of the major developments in the understanding of the Early Neolithic in Southern Scandinavia during the last decade. The Long Barrows are one of the oldest monumental burial forms that we see in northern Europe in the neolithic. They are also the first example of a common idea that is connected to a monumental burial form amongst the people. In this essay I attempt to show that there actually are quite a large number of Long Barrows in Scandinavia that show similarities with Long Barrows in well-known areas such as Kujavia (Poland) and Pommerania (Germany/Poland), in both architecture and location in the landscape. I also scrutinise some theories regarding this phenomenon and discuss, and i some cases, criticise them. I especially focus on the stated similarity between LBK houses and Long Barrows. My aim was to see if these theories were appliciable to the relatively recent discoveries of Long Barrows in Southern Scandinavia.

Background: Employer Branding is a relatively new concept stemming from concepts of HRM, however, the conceptualization has not yet been applied to current changes arising with the COVID-19 virus. Ambler and Barrow (1996) introduced their three-dimensional framework. where they divided benefits employees could get from a company into three different pillars, economic, psychological, and developmental.  However, the literature lacks the application of this concept to the technology industry during COVID-19.  Purpose: To provide insight into how HR professionals can attract highly skilled talent post-COVID-19 pandemic and investigate how the requirements of the tech professionals have changed  Method: This study follows an interpretivism paradigm with an inductive research approach. Furthermore, a qualitative design is applied through a multiple case study in an epistemological assumption. Thereby semi-structured interviews were conducted with HR professionals, as well as highly skilled workers in the technology industry.  Conclusion: The collected data highlights the importance and change of employer branding before and after the pandemic. Results of this study have shown that monetary benefits are less valued since COVID-19, drawing importance to developmental and psychological benefits, such as good company culture. The ability to work remotely has become a determinant factor for prospective job applicants in their job search.

The dissertation discusses, in conformity with burial data, the social organisation of the East Lithuanian barrow culture (3/4th–11/12th c.). The research method is the correlation of archaeological record (construction of barrows and graves, grave good assemblages) with the results of osteological analysis (age and sex of the buried individuals). The survey uses the data from 425 burials found at 67 burial sites. Main theoretical premises of the study are the reflection of social status in burial and the connection between mortury variability and complexity of social organisation. Various elements of funerary ritual were defined as indicators of status. A review of the graves of infants, children, adolescents, adult males and females reveals several interrelated dimensions of social status. Status was associated with individual age. Societal position of subadults was lower, while young adults had the highest status. The main category determining status was sex and individual qualities related to it. The principal quality for males was military activity and for females fertility. Inheritance of the position also played a certain role in social organisation. Significance of all the mentioned factors was of different degree in different periods. The discussed society was divided into small communities based on nuclear and extended families. It probably consisted of social elite, freemen, and unfree (and half-free?) classes. The social organisation of East Lithuania is rated as...

Tyrimo metodas yra archeologinių duomenų (pilkapio ir kapo konstrukcijos, įkapių kompleksų) koreliacija su osteologinės analizės rezultatais (palaidotų asmenų amžiumi ir lytimi). Tyrime naudojami 425-ių kapų iš 67-ių laidojimo paminklų duomenys. Pagrindinės darbo teorinės prielaidos yra socialinio statuso atspindys laidojimo paminkle ir laidosenos įvairovės ryšys su socialinės organizacijos kompleksiškumu. Įvairūs laidosenos elementai įvertinti statuso išraiškos požiūriu. Apžvelgus kūdikių, vaikų, paauglių, suaugusių vyrų ir moterų kapus, išryškėja kelios tarpusavyje susijusios socialinio statuso dimensijos. Statusas buvo susijęs su individualiu amžiumi. Nesuaugusiųjų padėtis visuomenėje buvo žemesnė, o aukščiausią statusą turėjo jauni suaugusieji. Pagrindinė statusą lemianti kategorija buvo lytis ir su ja susijusios individualios savybės. Svarbiausia vyro savybė buvo karinis aktyvumas, moters – vaisingumas. Tam tikrą reikšmę socialinėje organizacijoje turėjo padėties paveldimumas.

This thesis is a meditation on liberatory futures for colonized pasts. It begins with a history of the imperial relationship between the US and the Philippines and how coloniality took root in the lives of Filipinos. The second chapter explores the critique of imperialism offered in post/colonial cultural productions by Manuel Ocampo and his location within the museum, as a constitutive site of modernity. The third chapter explores the project of de-coloniality and the role of ritual and imagination.
