Abstract This article examines the early publications and correspondence of Karl Nickul, a Finnish geodesist and amateur ethnographer/anthropologist. In his publications and correspondence, Nickul studied and discussed the Skolt Sámi of the village of Suenjel in the Finnish province of Petsamo. Nickul was a polyglot and an internationally-minded pacifist who framed the Suenjel Sámi among other “primitive” peoples worldwide, instead of among the neighbouring Finno-Ugric-speaking peoples in Soviet Karelia just across the Finnish-Soviet border. In the Suenjel Sámi, Nickul saw a chance to preserve an instance of the “original” Sámi way of life, which he viewed as being closely conditioned by nature. Nickul wanted to carry out this preservation for the sake of the Sámi themselves as well as for scholarly purposes. As he sought international recognition for the Suenjel Sámi and parallel cases of cultural preservation, Nickul simultaneously developed a scholarly persona as the foremost expert on this population without following the conventional academic route.

Case study 4: TaI O Village is a scenic, stilted fishing village which is an excellent example of an organically evolved and associative cultural landscape. In addition to fishing, Tai O was renowned for its salt pans and production of shrimp paste. The physical fabric of the village is largely intact despite many threats and pressures for change over many generations. Despite recent attempts by government authorities to ‘revitalise’ the village for tourism, resettle the villagers from the stilt houses, as well as natural disasters, such as, typhoons, flooding, and devastating fires, the villagers have a very strong bond that allows them to rebound after each setback with a passion for conserving their way of life. Tai O offers a valuable contrast to the fortunes of Ping Shan and underlines the importance of adopting an integrated approach to conservation that ensures that the policy, planning, and project levels of intervention put the interests and aspirations of residents first.

India lost a distinguished physicist and philosopher in the death, after a third heart attack, of Kariamanikkam Srinivasa Krishnan. His contributions to science and his achievements especially in physics won international recognition for India. Krishnan was born on 4 December 1898, in the village of Watrap, in the Tirunelveli (now Ramnad) District of Tamilnad (Madras State). His father was a Brahmin farmer-scholar of the old school, deeply versed in Tamil and Sanskrit religious literature, who spent a good part of his time in pilgrimages to South Indian temples, particularly to Srirangam and Tirupathi. From him Krishnan inherited an abiding love of religion and philosophy and a thorough knowledge of the Tamil language and literature, and of Sanskrit. His mother was very intelligent and an excellent organizer.

Статья посвящена исследованию поэм К. Иванова «Нарспи» и С. Есенина «Анна Снегина» с точки зрения особенностей национальной модели мира и человека. Своеобразие данных произведений видится в экзистенциальном ракурсе восприятия событий, но при этом каждый из героев выступает прежде всего как носитель своей национальной стихии. В поэмах в центре внимания - семья, деревенский уклад жизни со своими радостями и проблемами, где лад крестьянской жизни связан с национальными образами. Главными героинями являются молодые женщины - Нарспи, Анна, в судьбах которых высвечивается трагическое начало. Однако в поэме С. Есенина образы крестьян, лирического героя, Анны воспринимаются сквозь призму конкретно-исторических событий - революции, гражданской войны, в то время как мир поэмы К. Иванова дан вне конкретно-исторической реальности, что высвечивает мифологическую составляющую картины мира. Обе эти книги построены на хронотопе дороги, особое семантическое значение придается поэтике цвета, звука и света, архетипу круга. Поэму «Нарспи» отличает бинарная картина мира, оппозиция «сад - лес» является значимой. События в поэмах возводятся к классическому мифу об уходе и возвращении, а социальный мотив разрушения старого мира во имя нового рассматривается как мифологический. Сравнительно-сопоставительный аспект исследования позволил выявить общие черты и неповторимые особенности национального мировидения и миропонимания. The article is devoted to the study of the poems of K. Ivanov “Narspi” and S. Yesenin “Anna Snegina” from the point of view of the peculiarities of the national model of the world and man. The originality of the poems is seen in the existential perspective of the perception of events, but each of the characters acts primarily as a carrier of the national element. In the poems, the focus is on the family, the village way of life with holidays, joys and problems, where the harmony of peasant life is connected with national images. The main characters are young women: Narspi and Anna, whose fates are characterized by the tragic beginning. However, the images of peasants, the lyrical hero, Anna are perceived through the prism of specific historical events - the revolution, the civil war in the poem by S. Yesenin, while the world of the poem by K. Ivanov is given outside of concrete historical reality, which highlights the mythological component of the picture of the world. The poems are based on the chronotope of the road, with a special semantic meaning attached to the poetics of color, sound and light, the archetype of the circle. The poem “Narspi” is distinguished by a binary picture of the world, the opposition “garden-forest” is significant there. The events in the poems are raised to the classic myth of departure and return, and the social motive of destroying the old world in the name of the new is considered as mythological. The comparative aspect of the study allowed us to identify common and unique features of the national worldview and worldview.

Sinopse:Trago um conjunto de imagens que representam os territórios de saúde às populações indígenas pela narrativa fotoetnográfica. As imagens apresentam um dos territórios indígenas onde há atuação de equipes multidisciplinares de saúde pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) no âmbito do Ministério da Saúde, por meio de um modelo que prioriza a ação dos profissionais e dos programas de saúde no território das aldeias, afirmando as políticas de incentivo a atenção básica. Esse registro foi realizado na aldeia da etnia Anambé do estado do Pará.O objetivo do registro é resgatar memórias e sensibilizar para as singularidades inerentes a esses espaços quando da atuação técnica profissional e dentro das perspectivas da antropologia da saúde. Ao observar as imagens é possível identificar condições sociais e culturais, representadas por casas regionais de madeira, arborização e rios. Na sequência das imagens é possível observar animais livres nos limites do território e os caminhos (rio) percorridos pelos profissionais de saúde para acessar a aldeia.Considerar estes fatos é importante, pois, desde a primeira Conferência Nacional de Saúde aos povos indígenas realizada em 1986, as representações vêm questionando o déficit dos profissionais quanto as habilidades e competências para atuar na área de saúde indígena. Essas assertivas e necessidades visam diminuir as iniquidades em saúde por meio de uma atuação técnica que apresente princípios que resguardem os valores culturais, saberes e o modo de vida desses povos de acordo com cada etnia. sinopsis:I bring a set of images that represent the territories of health to the indigenous populations by the photoetnographic narrative. The images present one of the indigenous territories where multidisciplinary health teams work under the National Health System (SUS) within the scope of the Ministry of Health, through a model that prioritizes the action of professionals and health programs in the territory of the villages, affirming policies to encourage basic care. This record was made in the village of the Anambé ethnic group in the state of Pará.The purpose of the registry is to rescue memories and sensitize the singularities inherent to these spaces when performing professional techniques and within the perspectives of health anthropology. It is possible, by observing the images, to identify social and cultural conditions, represented by regional houses of wood, afforestation and rivers. Following the images it is possible to observe free animals in the limits of the territory and the paths (river) traveled by the health professionals to access the village.It is important to consider these facts because, since the first National Health Conference to indigenous peoples held in 1986, the representations have been questioning the professionals' deficit regarding the abilities and competencies to act in the subject of indigenous health. These assertions and needs aim to reduce inequities in health through a technical action that presents principles that safeguard the cultural values, knowledge and way of life of these peoples according to each ethnic group.Palabras-chave:populações vulneráveis; enfermagem; saúde coletiva; comunidadeKey-words:vulnerable populations; nursing; collective health; communityFicha técnica:Autora:Nádile Juliane Costa de CastroFotografias: Nádile Juliane Costa de CastroDireção, Edição de Imagem e Texto: Nádile Juliane Costa de CastroFicha técnica:Autora:Nádile Juliane Costa de CastroFotografía:Nádile Juliane Costa de CastroDirección:Nádile Juliane Costa de Castro

John Hilton Grace was born on 21 May 1873 at Halewood, a village in South Lancashire not far from Liverpool, the eldest of six children of a farmer. He received his early education at the village school, from which he went on to the Liverpool Institute. Here he came under the influence of an outstanding teacher of mathematics, J. A. Owen (who lived to the advanced age of 103), and in 1892 he entered Peterhouse, Cambridge, with an open Entrance Scholarship. His was a vintage year for Cambridge mathematics; among those who took the Mathematical Tripos in 1895 were six future Fellows of the Royal Society; besides Grace himself these were T. J. I’A. Bromwich, F. W. Carter, B. Hopkinson, E. T. Whittaker (later Sir Edmund Whittaker), and A. Young. Young was to become closely associated with Grace in his later mathematical work. There was intense rivalry, not only between the candidates but between their colleges, for the Senior Wrangler-ship. Grace, Bromwich, and Whittaker were the most fancied candidates, and the element of doubt in Grace’s case was not due to any misgivings regarding his mathematical ability, but because it was thought that his rather unstable way of life might result in his not doing himself justice. At any rate a wag pinned on the door of one of the favourites, who was known to be of a religious turn of mind, the verse ‘Work, as if on that alone Hung the issue of the day, Pray that Grace may be sent down, Work and pray!’ In the event, Bromwich was Senior Wrangler, and Grace and Whittaker were bracketed second. Rumour had it that Grace was in the lead at the end of the penultimate paper, but celebrated a day too soon. Whether this is true or not it is in keeping with the fact that Grace was his own worst enemy, and throughout his life he missed opportunities of achieving the greatness of which he was capable through his intemperate habits.
