In order to understand the folk traditions that Félix Arnaudin recorded, it is important to consider who his informants were. Félix Arnaudin prided himself on his honesty in how he presented these informants, but this chapter suggests that this honesty was only ever partial. Research drawing on birth, marriage, and death certificates, notarial documents, and other sources suggests that Félix Arnaudin exaggerated the age of his informants, and put more emphasis on informants who worked in ‘traditional’ occupations, such as pastoralism, even though many of his singers and storytellers worked in ‘modern’ occupations, as employees of the state, for example.

AbstractOBJECTIVESTo estimate TB mortality rates, describe multiple causes in death certificates in which TB was reported and identify predictors of TB reporting in death certificates in the State of Amazonas, Brazil, based on a multiple cause of death approach.METHODSDeath records of residents in AM within 2006-2014 were classified based on tuberculosis reporting in the death certificate as tuberculosis not reported (TBNoR), reported as the underlying cause of death (TBUC) and as an associate cause of death (TBAC). Age standardized annual mortality rates for TBUC, TBAC and with TB reported (TBUC plus TBAC) were estimated for the State of Amazonas, using the direct standardization method and WHO 2000-2025 standard population. Mortality odds ratios (OR) of reporting TBUC and TBAC were estimated using multinomial logistic regression.RESULTSAge standardized annual TBUC and TBAC mortality rates ranged, between 5.9-7.8/105 and 2.7-4.0/105, respectively. TBUC was associated with residence in the State capital (OR=0.66), female sex (OR=0.87), education level (OR=0.67 and 0.50 for 8 to 11 and 12 or more school years), non-white race/skin colour (OR=1.38) and occurrence of death in the State capital (OR=1.69). TBAC was related to time (OR=1.21 and 1.22 for years 2009-11 and 2012-14), age (OR=36.1 and 16.5 for ages 15-39 and 40-64 years) and when death occurred in the State capital (OR=5.8).CONCLUSIONTBUC was predominantly associated with indicators of unfavorable socioeconomic conditions and health care access constraints, whereas TBAC was mainly related to ages typical of high HIV disease incidence.Conflicts of interestNone.FundingFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Amazonas - FAPEAM

This paper presents two archival collections: death certificates of the Warsaw Jews (1939 and 1941), from the archives of the Jewish Historical Institute, and a collection of books kept in the State Archives in Warsaw, containing names of patients treated in 1939 and 1940 in the hospital at Czyste, and in the Bersohn and Bauman hospital. These collections are a part of official medical records, which today can be read as a record of the fate of the Warsaw Jews. These non-narrative documents are not the just the only testament to the existence of people claimed by the Holocaust, but they also reveal various aspects of theirhistory to the modern reader, they become elements of a great historical fresco

Special Case

Many individuals in America die in distant states, sometimes quite far from what is considered their residence. This study employs an analysis of death certificates in order to explore the geography of death away from home. The state of Arizona, 807 residents of which died out-of-state in 1984, is used as a case study. This study reveals that most out-of-state deaths did not occur randomly around the United States, but rather occurred in adjacent states, and in those states that have strong cultural and economic ties to Arizona. Most deaths occurred in summer months, when most Arizonans can be expected to be out of the state. Finally, it appears that minorities do not travel much out of Arizona, except for Navajo Indians, who are a very special case.

This chapter examines how folk paper-cuts have served as a site of intellectual expressions and debates about the meanings of—and the entangled relationships between—culture, gender, history, and the state in modern China. It first takes up the question of folk traditions, gender, and modernity before discussing the practice of paper-cutting in the Yan'an period (1937–1947) and in the late 1970s. It then considers how gender figures in the narrative of the folk cultural form of paper-cuts in Yan'an and its later deployment by urban intellectuals in various nationalist campaigns. In particular, it looks at women paper-cutting artists in contemporary Ansai County and describes how folk paper-cuts have become that “site of awkward engagement” where the agenda of the state, global capital regimes of values, and local tradition forces interacted with each other. The chapter suggests that, through the representation of paper-cuts, the binary oppositions of gender and rural–urban divide have become part of the meanings of Chinese modernity itself.

Many people who die in the United States are transported across state boundaries for burial at a place viewed as “home” by the decedent or the next of kin. This article employs an analysis of data from death certificates to explore the transportation of human remains from Arizona where, in 1983, 17.1 percent of those who died were shipped beyond the state. A sample of 783 removals reveals a predominant geographical pattern of flows to the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes states. This pattern is the reverse of recent patterns of both seasonal (“snowbird”) and permanent in-migration of the living to Arizona. A propensity for individuals to be transported back to their state of birth or to their most recent previous residence is also revealed.

Context.— Despite the importance of accurate death statistics for epidemiologic studies and public health initiatives, there remains a high frequency of errors in death certification. This deficiency can be addressed by the hospital autopsy service. Objectives.— To improve the quality and accuracy of death certificates issued in the hospital and improve resident and clinician education by initiating a death certificate review process, performed by pathology residents while on their hospital autopsy rotation. Design.— A resident reviewed all death certificates issued in the hospital daily through the state electronic death certificate filing system and correlated with the decedent's medical record. When errors were found, the resident filed an amended death certificate with the state. If applicable, the Office of the Medical Examiner was contacted to investigate. The original certifying physician was then contacted via email with an explanation for the amendment. Results.— In 12 months, 590 death certificates were issued by the hospital. Eighty-eight of 590 (15%) were amended. Of those 88 amended, 41 (47%) were missing an underlying cause of death, 7 (8%) had an inaccurate cause of death, 41 (47%) failed to include relevant contributory causes of death, and 17 (19%) had major typographic errors. Of 88, 24 (27%) fell under the Office of the Medical Examiner's jurisdiction and were reported with a subsequent change in the manner of death in 23 of 88 cases (26%). Conclusions.— Death certificate review by the autopsy service improves the accuracy of death certification, impacts resident and clinician education, and serves as quality assurance for both the hospital and the state.

During the Qianlong period (1736–95) in China, knowledge of Manchu origins, much of which had been of a folk or informal character, was given documentary institutionalization—that is, incorporation into the Qing (1636–1912) imperial cultural mosaic by the act of writing something official about it. Much but by no means all of Manchu civilization was derived from Jurchen culture (tenth–seventeenth centuries), which was primarily a folk culture in which oral tradition, shamanic ritual, and clan custom were the mainstays of orderly social life. Inseparable from those folk traditions were elements of tribal rule that affected political life in many ways in the Later Jin (1616–35) and early Qing periods. To the extent that Manchu society retained the archaic forms through the Qing era, the folk heritage was brought into conflict with the political institutions and classical traditions of conquered China, especially the emperorship. The history of the Qing court and its relation to the Manchus may be viewed as the aggregate of the processes by which the dynasty attempted to resolve this conflict through formalization of the old culture. In its political aspects this meant the progressive bureaucratization, regulation, and depersonalization of the state in displacement of the personal, diffused authority that had once been vested by tradition in the clans and confederations. In its cultural and ideological facets, it meant the documentation of descent, myth, clan history, and shamanic practice; what had once been various and mystically obscure was now made visible, manageable, and standard.

Oswald Spengler

The article presents the comparative analysis of certain aspects of the socio-political views of Oswald Spengler and Mikhail Menshikov. The author reveals certain similarity of the processes of their personal formation, which could also affect the conformity of their views on a number of issues of the cultural development of the state and nation, perceived syncretically. The comparison of Menshikov’s ideas in the period of his work in “The Nedelya” journal with the views of Spengler expressed in his fundamental work “The Decline of Europe” has already been carried out by Russian researchers, albeit to a limited extent. Therefore, the author of the research uses as sources for his studies primarily the articles by Menshikov published in the late period of his journalistic activity at “Novoye Vremya” newspaper, and Spengler’s book “Years of Decisions”, which is also one of his last significant works. The author considers both thinkers to be apologists for the priority of state interests, without which, according to them, the preservation of the nation won’t be possible. The political views of Spengler and Menshikov are characterized by the article author as conservative state nationalism, manifested in such ideas as: the preservation of “healthy” folk traditions, aristocracy as civil service, subordination of personal interests to the state. On the basis of the comparison of Menshikov’s and Spengker’s ideas the author comes to the conclusion about the similarity of the problems faced by Russia and Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century.

An artist and writer from the Republic of Turkey, Nurullah Berk worked to promote the expression of Turkish aesthetic ideals as one of the founders of the D Group. Berk first studied in Paris with Ernest Laurent at the École des Beaux Arts between 1924 and 1928. Upon his return to Turkey, he became a member of the recently established Society of Independent Painters and Sculptors. He spent a year in Paris studying with André Lhote and Fernand Leger, whose Cubist modernism reflected the ideas of Henri Bergson as developed by the Puteaux Group before World War I. Returning to Turkey in 1933, Berk became one of the founders of a society of artists that promoted independent thought and modernist ideals, known as the D Group. He also participated in the state-sponsored Homeland Tours project that sent artists to the provinces between 1938 and 1943. Berk promoted the expression of Turkish aesthetics through a vocabulary of abstraction, combining flat abstraction with patterns drawn from the popular and folk traditions of Turkey. Woman Ironing (1950) exemplifies his combination of Cubist abstraction with national identity in its idealization of the working figure of the Turkish peasant woman, with patterns derived from traditional Turkish flatwoven carpets.
