The thesis introduces gathered Indian castes that are known as Doms. The Dom castes are considered to be the groups in where Roma originated. The thesis is a case study of particular localities of the North-Indian region Kumaon (Uttarakhand province). The thesis focuses on the daily life of local Dom groups, their position in the caste system, and also targets the professions they are performing. It further targets the practices performed during choosing the partner and also focuses on their religious ideas about the world around them. Finally it itroduces the parallels, that can be found between Doms and Roma.

Yes / Participation in community programmes by the Roma community is low whilst this community presents with high risk of poor health and low levels of wellbeing. To improve rates of participation in programmes compatibility must be achieved between implementation efforts and levels of readiness in the community. The Community Readiness Model (CRM) is a widely used toolkit which provides an indication of how prepared and willing a community is to take action on specific issues. We present findings from a CRM assessment for the Eastern European Roma community in Bradford, UK on issues related to nutrition and obesity. We interviewed key respondents identified as knowledgeable about the Roma community using the CRM. This approach applies a mixed methodology incorporating readiness scores and qualitative data. A mean community readiness score was calculated enabling researchers to place the community in one of nine possible stages of readiness. Interview transcripts were analysed using a qualitative framework analysis to generate contextual information. An overall score consistent with vague awareness was achieved, which indicates a low level of community readiness. This score suggests there will be a low likelihood of participation in currently available nutrition and obesity programmes. To our knowledge this is the first study to apply the CRM in the Roma community for any issue. We present the findings for each of the six dimensions that make up the CRM together with salient qualitative findings. / Better Start Bradford

A partir da identificação de dispositivos retóricos relativos às mulheres, principalmente nos livros XIII ao XVI dos Anais, parte do relato referente aos acontecimentos do principado de Nero (54-68 d.C.), buscamos compreender como Tácito utilizou-se das personagens femininas como recurso retórico na elaboração de críticas a este imperador. Tais críticas indicam valores morais pelos quais se orientava a sociedade romana. Neste sentido, analisamos como as interações entre as personagens e a composição de exempla (exemplos) evidenciam modelos de vícios e virtudes. A fim de fundamentar nossa análise, exploramos questões a respeito da condição social e política em que viviam tais mulheres, principalmente aquelas que pertenciam à domus Caesarum (Casa dos Césares). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ / ABSTRACT: This dissertation deals with the relationship established between the female characters of the Tacitus‟s Annals, and the making of the Nero‟s image as an evil emperor. Identifying rhetorical devices relating to women, especially in the Annals‟s books XIII to XVI, as part of the narrative regarding the events of the Nero‟s principate (54-68 AD), aims to understand how Tacitus had used the female characters as a rhetorical tool to censure the emperor. These criticisms indicate moral values which the Roman society was embeded. In this way, we analyse how the interactions between the characters and the composition of exempla (examples) show models of vices and virtues. In order to substantiate our analysis, we will explore questions about the social and political conditions in which these women have lived, especially those who belonged to domus Caesarum (Caesars household).

This thesis focuses on the relation of a Roma pupil and a school from the point of view of a teacher. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is divided into four subtopics. The first subtopic is dedicated to the Roma in Czech society, their differentiation, the social situation of the Roma, the relation between the majority and the minority, and especially the conflicts between the majority and the minority. The second theme deals with the Roma family, how it looked in the past and what it is today. It also focuses on the education of children by gender and the family's influence on the child's success in school. The third theme deals with the education of the Roma and especially with pre-school, primary and secondary education. The fourth theme describes communication with Roma parents. The second part deals with the research itself. The research method used is a qualitative method and especially a semi- standardized questionnaire. The aim of the diploma thesis was to find out what the relationship between a school and the family of a Roma pupil in the Liberec region is. The whole problem is examined from the point of view of the educator. Other objectives of the research were to find out the level of communication between schools and the families of Roma pupils, to find out how the...

The thesis generally deals with the situation of the Roma on the territory of newly formed Czechoslovakia between 1918 - 1945 on the backgroundof the particular example of the Roma settlement in Bohusoudov. The introductory part concentrates on coming of the Roma ethnicities on our territory and on circumstances of formation of the Roma settlement in Bohusoudov. The following one tries to look closer at the state of Roma population in the Czechoslovakia Republic from the point of view of legal framework, subsistence, criminality, schooling and religion. This view is complemented by circumstances in Bohusoudov. The next chapter concentrates on Roma genocide which took place in forced concentration camps in Hodonín u Kunštátu and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. The second part of the thesis contains a survey among contemporary inhabitants of neighbouring villages which tries to find out knowledge of history and life of the perished Roma community in Bohusoudov. The enclosure of the thesis offers a set of preserved texts from Bohusoudov and a nominal list of victims from the settlement.

Nesse sentido, trabalha-se o período através de suas particularidades, evitando generalizá-lo como um bloco monolítico no que se refere à conduta política dos homens diretamente envolvidos com o poder. Dessa forma, decidiu-se explanar a ideia de memória e seus atributos tanto para a historiografia romana (e greco-romana) quanto para a aplicação direta na ação política. A percepção da memória enquanto recurso da trama governamental foi possível por meio da exposição do conceito de mos maiorum e de seu significado para a cultura romana dos dois últimos séculos da República. Portanto, Salústio indica na cena política o aumento das dissensões políticas e sua premissa perpassa pelo desejo de encontrar possíveis soluções para contê-las e, assim, reestabelecer o consenso político. Nesse sentido, personagens como Catilina e Jugurta, César e Catão, fomentam para essa pesquisa o estilo elaborado por Salústio para questionar os problemas de seu tempo, buscando para isso retratar, em Bellum Catilinae e Bellum Iugurthinum, um passado próximo que poderia explanar de maneira direta como se constituiu o cenário de conflitos políticos da República romana e, feito o diagnóstico, indicar os caminhos para saná-los. __________________________________________________________________________________________ / ABSTRACT: This thesis aims to analyze the works of Sallust, Bellum Iugurthinum and Bellum Catilinae. Firstly, it is studied the Roman Republic as regards its administration during the II and I centuries BC, and particularly how this period suffered numerous transformations that culminated in a civil strife that led to a new form of government. This period is analyzed in its specificities, thus avoiding generalizing it as a monolithic bloc. It was decided to explain the idea of memory and its attributes for Roman and Greek historiography concerning its direct application in political action. The concept of memory was intimately linked to that of mos maiorum and its significance for the Roman culture of the last two centuries of the Republic. Therefore, Sallust points to the increase of political dissent in the political scene and tries to find possible solutions to deter it and reestablish the political consensus. In this sense, characters like Catiline and Jugurtha, Caesar and Cato, illustrate the scenario of political conflicts of the Roman Republic as well as presents ways of addressing them.

A representação do Imperador Cláudio, que governou de 41 a 54, nas fontes apresenta um imperador fraco e inapto, manipulado por suas mulheres e libertos. Com o passar do tempo, a historiografia passou a retratar este imperador de forma diferente, valorizando mais suas ações de governo do que sua personalidade ou os problemas na Corte Imperial. Mesmo entre as representações feitas por Sêneca, Tácito e Suetônio existem elementos distintos para compor a representação deste imperador. Este estudo leva a concluir quais os elementos utilizados nas fontes para compor a representação de Cláudio e o porquê de seu uso. Assim, entendendo o processo de montagem da representação de Cláudio podemos conhecer as expectativas que se tinham de um bom imperador e da sociedade romana com um todo. ___________________________________________________________________ / ABSTRACT: This dissertation analyzes the representations of Emperor Claudius by three sources: Seneca’s Apocolocyntosis, Tacitus’ Annales, and Suetonius’ Vita Caesarum. Such representations of Claudius, who ruled from 41 to 54, in general reveal a weak and unqualified emperor, manipulated by women and freedmen. More recently the historiography has changed its view of this emperor by giving more importance to his political decisions than to his personality or events in the imperial Court. Even in the representations of Claudius by Seneca, Tacitus and Suetonius it is possible to discern contrasting elements that compose the image of this emperor. This study seeks to point out these elements and explain their respective reasons by the sources above mentioned. By understanding the process of composition of the representation of Claudius, we can perceive the expectations of the aristocracy in relation to the emperor and to the Roman society as a whole

Ao longo de nossa pesquisa, buscamos observar as características de cada autor, e confluímos suas experiências de vida para encontrarmos os pontos convergentes e divergentes de seus conceitos em torno das responsabilidades Imperiais. Nesse ínterim, ressaltarmos o entrelaçamento entre romanos e bárbaros, muito perceptível nesse momento; e como este processo de interação de culturas influenciou no pensamento dos escritores tardo-antigos aqui estudados. Também, preocupamo-nos em observar como um filósofo e um militar desenvolveram tais ideais em relação a dois governantes distintos: Joviano (363-364 d.C.) e Valentiniano I (364-375 d.C.), para tanto fizemos uma análise mais especifica dos Discursos V – A Joviano – e VI – ao Amor Fraterno ou Sobre a Humanidade – de Temístio e dos Livros XV a XXX de Amiano Marcelino, por serem Imperadores eleitos diretamente pelo Exército Romano, sem o auxilio de outros órgãos da sociedade romana. Além disso, são eles, até o momento, os imperadores romanos menos explorados pelas historiografias ibérica, francesa, britânica e nacional consultadas até o momento. Em geral, tais historiografias quando se referem a esses governantes, os mencionam de maneira pejorativa. Assim, em um momento de grande efervescência sócio-político cultural, dois autores não cristãos escrevem seus trabalhos, com o intuito de relembrarem seu público... / In the context of Late Antiquity, we observe the ideals of Royalty which spread throughout the Roman Empire in the IV century AD, especially the reports of two writers who shared political events which occurred between the governments of Constantius II and Theodosius (337-395 AD), they are: the philosopher Themistius (317-388 AD) with his political speeches and the military Ammianus Marcellinus (325/330-395 AD) with his work Res Gestae. Throughout our research, we aimed to observe the characteristics of each writer and merge their life experiences to find the convergent and divergent points of their concepts around the imperial responsibilities. Meanwhile, we highlight the interlinking between Romans and barbarians, very perceptible at that time; since this process of culture interaction influenced the thoughts of the ancient late writers here studied. We also sought to observe how a philosopher and a military developed such ideals in relation to two distinct rulers: Jovian (363-364 AD) and Valentinian I (364-375 AD), for this a more specific analysis of the Speeches V was made – to Jovian – and VI – to Fraternal Love or on Humanity – Themistius‟ and Books XV to XXX by Ammianus Marcellinus for being Emperors directly elected by the Roman Army, without any help from other agencies of the Roman society. Moreover, they are, so far, the least explored Roman emperors by the Iberian, French, British and national historiographies checked so far. In general, when such historiographies refer to these rulers, they are mentioned in a pejorative way. Thus, in a time of great socio-political and cultural excitement, two non-Christian writers write their papers in order to remind their audience of the importance of virtues and, because of that, both of them base themselves in examples from the classical tradition; the same way we perceive other elements that permeate the structure of both good rulers: Themistius and Ammianus Marcellinus

This diploma deals with the problem of the participation of Roma in the work market. The scope of the investigation is focused on the Broumov region, where I look for possible causes, hurdles and reasons for Roma unemployment. The empirical part deals with gathering data from three different informants. The goal of this research is a complex overview of the actual situation from the view of employers, Roma themselves, and the state, represented by the Job Centre (Work Offive). To this end I used the involved observation method, and in-depth interviews. The target of the diploma was to find out what the main hurdles are in the scope of the participation of Broumov Roma in the work market, and what are the main obstacles to the participation of Roma in the work market. The result of the completed research is that among the main obstacles are insufficient education, low qualifications, frequent property re-possession and the unwillingness of employers to employ Roma. The source of this unwillingness is distrust of Roma due to bad experience with this minority.
