Heritage Protection

Today, limes is an en vogue term in Romania. Scientific research, heritage protection and, more recently, politic discourse – they all deal, directly or indirectly, with issues regarding the Frontiers of the Roman Empire in today’s Romania. In the context of nominating the Frontiers of the Roman Empire as a serial site of UNESCO World Heritage, each of the previously mentioned domains has its responsibilities towards the monument itself. In this study I focus on explaining the different understandings of the term limes. Next, I found it rather important and well-timed to discuss the main tasks and obligations of archaeological research, of the industry of tourism and of archaeological heritage protection in Romania throughout the entire process of nominating and inscribing the Limes on the UNESCO List, as well as after this process is long over.

This chapter evaluates the use of rabbinic literature in the study of Jewish daily life and material culture. It explains that one of the main problems associated with research on material culture and daily life is the establishment of a proper relationship between rabbinic literary references and archaeological data, between text and object. It suggests that these problems can be resolved by approaching the issues on the basis of a historical-critical study of rabbinic sources in a broad interdisciplinary framework, which takes account of archaeological research within the Graeco-Roman and early Byzantine context and which uses tools, methods and models developed by the social sciences.

Abstract Capacity development is a key tool that can be used to improve maritime archaeological research and underwater cultural heritage protection. Despite numerous capacity development initiatives there has been little written about the theoretical concept of capacity or capacity development in maritime archaeology or even archaeology more generally. This paper borrows a theoretical concept of capacity from the environmental sciences literature and demonstrates how it can be applied to maritime archaeology through the examination of the situation in three case study States: Croatia, Italy and Montenegro. It argues that all aspects of the concept of capacity need to be understood before successful capacity development initiatives can be planned, and that the development of strategies for capacity development could initiate long term positive changes in maritime archaeological capabilities.

This article discusses the issue of adaptation of immovable historic monument and sites in light of the legal requirements and from the point of view of heritage protection authorities being one of the participants of the adaptation process. The initial aim is to define the concept of monument adaptation and delineate the conditions in which such a process occurs. The article describes a series of initial actions taken prior to the actual preservation and restoration works – as part of the adaptation process. These works include e.g. detailed research on a historic monument or site, including historical (historical-preservation studies), preservation, architecture, and in many cases also archaeological research. The aim of these activities is to acquire a fullest possible picture of the monument. The results of this research then constitute a basis for preparation of project documentation of the intended works. The article underlines importance of assigning an appropriate purpose to the asset undergoing the process of adaptation, which should be merged with a monument or site, i.e. respect all of its historical values and ensure the optimal utility of the asset, avoiding a series of potential negative consequences.The paper then discusses the applicable legal framework concerning protection of immovable monuments and competences of monument protection authorities resulting from the said framework.The paper’s conclusion postulates that the activities of all personnel working on historic monuments and sites should be guided by their inner conviction that monuments need to be looked after and that they have a social duty to maintain them for the sake of future generations. This duty is actually applicable to all citizens, just as the cultural heritage is the primary building block of the nation’s historical identity.

Heritage Development

Proper management of monuments and archaeological sites as well as how to present them to the wider public have been critical issues for years in Hungary. Discussions on monument protection have focused mainly on the problems posed by the relationship between research into buildings and their surroundings and redevelopment programmes. In cultural tourism, the interests and needs of these two fields can meet or clash. In Hungary, this is most conspicuous in relation to so-called heritage development undertaken within the framework of the National Program for Mansions and Castles, coordinated by National Heritage Protection and Development Ltd (Nemzeti Örökségvédelmi és Fejlesztési Nkft, NÖF). Two sites, Sárospatak and Szabadkígyós, are presented in this article as examples of such archaeological research projects undertaken in preparation for the further development of an area.

The article excavates and organizes silk culture resources in order to carry out a complete assessment in all perspectives of the silk culture. Current archaeological research, collections, traditional workmanship resumption and exploitation, and activities with cross-cultural influence conducted by culture and science/technology institutions are also taken into consideration. Meanwhile, others’ experience on culture heritage protection, resumption, and declaration on world cultural and natural heritage protection is used as a reference. Therefore, the assumption for further research on the silk culture conformation is made, and the necessary foundation for the declaration on protection of world cultural and natural heritage for silk culture is established.

Counseling Adolescents

Abstract Audiologists have a responsibility to counsel patients with auditory concerns on methods to manage the inherent challenges associated with hearing loss at every point in the process: evaluation, hearing aid fitting, and follow-up visits. Adolescents with hearing loss struggle with the typical developmental challenges along with communicative challenges that can erode one's self-esteem and self-worth. The feeling of “not being connected” to peers can result in feelings of isolation and depression. This article advocates the use of a Narrative Therapy approach to counseling adolescents with hearing loss. Adolescents with hearing loss often have problem-saturated narratives regarding various components of their daily life, friendships, amplification, academics, etc. Audiologists can work with adolescents with hearing loss to deconstruct the problem-saturated narratives and rebuild the narratives into a more empowering message. As the adolescent retells their positive narrative, they are likely to experience increased self-esteem and self-worth.

Lower Variability

Abstract. Most research in health psychology is based on retrospective self reports, which are distorted by recall biases and have low ecological validity. To overcome such limitations we developed computer assisted diary approaches to assess health related behaviours in individuals’, couples’ and families’ daily life. The event- and time-sampling-based instruments serve to assess appraisals of the current situation, feelings of physical discomfort, current emotional states, conflict and emotion regulation in daily life. They have proved sufficient reliability and validity in the context of individual, couple and family research with respect to issues like emotion regulation and health. As examples: Regarding symptom reporting curvilinear pattern of frequencies over the day could be identified by parents and adolescents; or psychological well-being is associated with lower variability in basic affect dimensions. In addition, we report on preventive studies to improve parental skills and enhance their empathic competences towards their baby, and towards their partner.
