Qualitative analyses of water from the River Danube were conducted to determine changes in the concentrations of heavy metals during the period 1985 to 1987. The samples were collected from a locality situated on the right bank of the river at the village of Vinča. The heavy metals Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, As, Ni, and Hg were found to be constantly present in the river water, whereas Cr3+ and Cr6+ were not detected. It was found that the tendency for levels of these heavy metals to increase had ceased. The number of samples containing major ecotoxic elements (Pb, Cd, and Hg) was reduced, and a slight improvement was also recorded with regard to the other heavy metals, with the exception of Zn.

The Impact

Objective: This article describes an approach to a metrics-based evaluation of public space in hospitals using cross-disciplinary qualitative and quantitative analyses. The method, Indoor Public Space Measurement (IPSM), is well suited to researchers and designers who intend to evaluate user-centered spatial solutions in hospitals and similar facilities. Background: Healthcare is transiting toward a value-based policy at all levels. Choosing the right set of qualitative and quantitative analyses to support value-based design solutions is not always an easy journey for healthcare design consultants. This article seeks to pull together the key analyses to evaluate the impact of the hospital indoor public space on the psychosocial well-being of the hospital users. Method: A step-by step guide to performing key analyses to evaluate the impact of hospital indoor public space environment on the users’ psychosocial well-being is provided. A case study from the authors’ research is utilized to illustrate the application of the method. Results: Interpolating the results of all the analyses, the reader can identify where in the layout most of interactions among users occur, identify their typology and evaluate the contribution to the general psychosocial well-being, and know which group of users is more exposed to a specific typology of interaction. Conclusions: The IPSM method can help design consultants to measure the impact of the built environment of hospital public space on its occupants’ psychosocial well-being: factual knowledge about the users’ behavioral response with respect to wayfinding and social interaction. The application of the method is not limited to healthcare settings only.

Tedious Process

The season which is to be recorded in the following pages has been marked by a persevering and wide-spread activity, both on the part of the Greek Government and the Archaeological Society, and also among all the foreign schools established in Athens. This activity has been rewarded by results which are in many cases very interesting; but at the same time there are no discoveries to record so fortunate and brilliant as those which gave us last season the gold cups of Baphion or the great group by Damophon at Lycosura. One fact, however, is of higher importance than any single discovery. The long-postponed excavation of Delphi has at last been formally conceded to the French School. Those who have heard of the complicated negotiations which have been going on about this matter for the last few years may be surprised to hear that the original draft of the contract, which was published last spring, bears the date 1887. But it did not receive the Royal assent and so become law until 13/25 April, 1891. The chief features of the agreement, which follows the same lines as that made with the Germans about Olympia, are as follows. Right of compulsory expropriation is given, as in the case of roads and railways; all land thus acquired becomes the property of the Greek Government, as also do all antiquities of any kind which may be discovered. On the other hand the right of excavation is given to the French for ten years, and also the exclusive right of copying, photographing, and publishing all antiquities discovered for five years from the date of discovery in each case. The expropriation of the village of Castri is a difficult and tedious process; but it is to be hoped that work will actually begin upon the site of Delphi during the coming season. All will await its results with the highest interest, and with confidence that the French School, under the able direction of M. Homolle, will carry out the excavations with the same high efficiency that has marked its other undertakings.

This article discusses apanage land belonging to the village heads, which is a legacy of the land system in the era of pre-colonial Surakarta and Yogyakarta kingdoms or what is termed as Vorstenlanden. This paper is aimed to find out how the feudal and nobility system in Java, which in the colonial era was very vulnerable to intervention and politics of splitting or fighting. To answering this question, a study will be conducted on the history of the Islamic Mataram kingdom until the era of Surakarta and Yogyakarta, en focusing on the analysis of the apanage and nobility systems. The method used is a historical method that consists of four steps, namely, heuristics, textual criticism, interpretation, and historiography. This research shows high officials and royal aristocrats have the power and the right to collect land tax and labor. A decline in the degree of nobility in Java will also affect the extent or amount of apanage land obtained. In the other side, the peasant only enjoy a small portion of the results of working on land or rice fields. Artikel ini membahas tentang tanah apanage milik para kepala desa yang merupakan     peninggalan sistem pertanahan di era pra-kolonial kerajaan Surakarta dan Yogyakarta atau yang disebut dengan Vorstenlanden. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana sistem feodal dan bangsawan di Jawa yang pada masa penjajahan sangat rentan terhadap intervensi dan politik perpecahan atau perkelahian. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, dilakukan studi tentang sejarah kerajaan Mataram Islam hingga era Surakarta dan Yogyakarta, dengan fokus pada analisis sistem bangsawan dan bangsawan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode sejarah yang terdiri dari empat tahapan yaitu heuristik, kritik tekstual, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan pejabat tinggi dan bangsawan kerajaan memiliki kekuasaan dan hak untuk memungut pajak tanah dan tenaga kerja. Penurunan derajat kebangsawanan di Jawa juga akan mempengaruhi luasan atau jumlah rata-rata tanah yang diperoleh. Di sisi lain, petani hanya menikmati sebagian kecil dari hasil menggarap lahan atau sawah.

Functionalist Approach

The study focuses on the discursive self-construction of suicidal help seekers in an open computer-mediated forum for mental help. Our theoretical framework is inspired by a functionalist approach to discourse, which emphasizes that language resources are selfdisplaying. It also espouses discursive psychology, which prioritizes the study of psychological and social phenomena in discursive processes. In addition, we adopt the Four World Approach to the analysis of positioning. Qualitative and quantitative analyses show that the density of ‘irrealis’ (i.e. negation, future and wishes) units and figurative forms was significantly higher in the suicidal messages compared with the messages of other troubled selves, who produced more ‘realis’ units (i.e. specific and generic stories) and information questions. We interpret these findings as showing that in their attempt to conceptualize conflict and pain, suicidal help-seekers shied away from the narration of past experience and focused instead on the construction of death. The other troubled help seekers used realis units and questions in order to describe their experience to guarantee that help would be provided.

Family planning programs have a strategic, comprehensive and fundamental role in achieving a healthy and prosperous Indonesia. Efforts to deny pregnancy can be done by the use of contraceptives, but not all husbands agree to the use of contraceptives. What happens is drop outs of the acceptor. Women who are of productive and childbearing age, and the right to use contraceptives, as it is an important and necessary right. While it protects women’s health, contraceptives require the husband’s support to prevent dropouts and in selecting the proper contraceptive. Planned Parenthood service must be made through informed choice and consent of the couple, in order to avoid human rights violation, especially in the choice of contraceptives. The incidence of dropouts remains high for several reasons. This study was conducted to determine the role of husband support in incidents of dropouts in villages and the city. It is a descriptive research. The population in this study are acceptors drop out for 3 consecutive months, and are not pregnant. A sample of 100 people, and collection of data with a closed and open questionnaire, is presented descriptively. Husbands support the incidence of drop -out in the village and in the town due of the side effects at a rate of 38%, the husband does not support his wife KB 22 %, the other - the other 22 %, the husband does not receive contraceptive family planning in cities 82 % in rural 74 %, the husband asks stop KB in the city 48 % rural 60 %, the husband providing cost planning in the village 42 % in the city 34 %, the husband does not support the use of contraceptives in the city 38 % rural 38 %. In conclusion, increasing the support of her husband, improve mentoring and coaching acceptor drop out to be willing to use contraception again. Support includes acceptance of family planning services for the husband against wife in the city is higher than in the village.

<p>This study focuses on reported speech in two different genres: spoken conversation and newspaper articles. There are two basic structures that allow language users to report formerly uttered words: direct and indirect speech. Both structures serve to integrate former discourse into the ongoing discourse. In different genres, however, language users draw upon different language tools to meet their communicative aims. This study examines how this might affect the distribution of direct and indirect reports across conversations and newspaper articles. Two of various hypotheses that have been suggested for the different uses of direct and indirect reported speech are examined using qualitative and quantitative analyses: 1) that direct speech would be a &lsquo;less complex' strategy than indirect speech, in the sense that the reporter does not need to make deictic adaptations if we take the &lsquo;original' words as our starting point, and 2) that direct speech is a more involving strategy than indirect speech. While the statistical results confirm both hypotheses, the confirmation of the complexity hypothesis differs for the two genres studied and needs some refinement as will be show with further qualitative analyses.</p>

Legal Barriers

The article is a contribution to studying the gap between the upper and the lower estates of the Russian society at the early XX century. In particular, peasants' perception of law is taken as the subject of the investigation. One of the striking examples of conflicts between peasant migrants an old settlers in the course of the famous "Stolypin's migration" to Siberia provides ground for this research. The authors aim at detecting peasants' readiness to defend their interests using legal loopholes to circumvent legal barriers. Documents from a file of the governor's office (gubernskoye upravlenie) of State archive of the Tomsk region let us have an all-round impression of the case as far as they represent views of the both struggling sides (migrants and old settlers), opinion of the local authority (krestyansky nachalnik) and the motivated decision of the governor's office. Compared to the legislation and to the other similar cases, these documents allow us to make out the hidden motive (old residents' wish to keep their plough-land) for the formal subject of the struggle (rent payment for the right to live in the village cottages). The facts discovered by the authors prove that the struggle over cottages was only a legally competent form for the struggle over plough-land. The result obtained corrects the currently understated evaluation of the Russian emancipated peasants' readiness to maintain their interests by legally competent methods.
