During the last century, networks of several types have been used to model a wide range of physical, biological and social systems. For example, Moreno (1934) studied social networks with multiple types of ties, later called multiplex networks (Verbrugge, 1979; Minor, 1983; Lazega & Pattison, 1999) as well as networks with multiple types of actors. Networks with multiple types of actors and relational ties have often been used together: relevant examples are the extensions of two-mode networks studied by Wasserman & Iacobucci (1991), multi-level networks (Lazega & Snijders, 2016), and heterogeneous information networks (Sun et al., 2012). More recently, researchers in physics and computer science have developed models for different types of interconnected networks known as networks of networks (Buldyrev et al., 2010; D'Agostino & Scala, 2014), multilayer social networks (Magnani & Rossi, 2011), and interconnected networks (Dickison et al., 2012).

Writing from the United Kingdom, Freda Matassa prepared her textbook Museum Collections Management: A Handbook as a text for museum professionals and students in British classrooms, yet the clearly laid out information is equally relevant to a range of different types of cultural heritage institutions outside England. In the first part of her book, Matassa covers big-picture issues and defines the scope of collection management, before introducing day-to-day collection management activities in the second part of the text. Her treatment covers the full scope of collection management including registrarial responsibilities as well as physical collection care duties.As a central . . .

This research aims to analyze the perception, motivation and behavior of tourists attending the Fiesta de los Patios in the city of Córdoba (Spain), declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) by UNESCO in 2012. This research has categorized tourists based on two different models: the model developed by Poria et al. (2003) and the one developed by McKercher (2002). Four different tourist groups were obtained: alternative, cultural, emotional and heritage. The main result of this research is that the behavior of different types of tourists can be determined depending on the perception that the ICH tourist has. The main practical application of this research is to provide public administration and management companies with tourism tools that allow sustainable management of this ICH event.

No Laboratório de Física Nuclear Aplicada (LFNA – DFIS/UEL) diferentes combinações de metodologias nucleares, atômicas e moleculares têm sido empregadas para estudos de objetos do patrimônio cultural. Metodologias como a Fluorescência de Raios X (nas diferentes modalidades EDXRF, PXRF, TXRF), a Espectroscopia Raman e a Transmissão de Raios Gama têm sido empregadas no estudo de diferentes tipos de objetos arqueológicos e, quando necessário, em colaboração com outros laboratórios, em conjunto com técnicas como a Emissão de raios X induzida por partículas (PIXE), Espectroscopia Mössbauer, Microscopia Eletrônica, Radiografia Digital,  Difração de Raios X e Retroespalhamento Rutherford (RBS), entre outras. Neste contexto, apresenta-se uma síntese dos trabalhos realizados desde o início do envolvimento do LFNA com Arqueometria e Artes, fazendo pequeno um recorte dentro da larga gama de objetos do patrimônio cultural analisados, focando alguns materiais cerâmicos. Abstract: Different combinations of nuclear, atomic and molecular methodologies are employed In the Laboratory of Applied Nuclear Physics (LFNA - DFIS / UEL) to study objects of cultural heritage. Methodologies such as X-Ray Fluorescence (in the different modalities EDXRF, PXRF, TXRF), Raman Spectroscopy and Gamma Ray Transmission have been employed to the study of different types of archaeological objects and when necessary, in collaboration with other laboratories, in conjunction with techniques such as particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE), Mössbauer Spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy, Digital Radiography, X-ray Diffraction and Rutherford Backscatter (RBS), among others. In this context, a synthesis of work accomplished since the beginning of the LFNA's involvement with Archaeometry and Arts is presented, making a small cut within the wide range of cultural heritage objects analyzed, focusing on some ceramic materials.

Scholarship negotiating African folktales and the entire folkloric tradition in Africa has always been constituted as harbouring fundamental lacks. One of these lacks is the supposed incapacity of oral cultures to produce high literature. However, it is true that folktales and other oral forms in Africa can participate actively in the social, political and cultural process. In this paper, we engage folktales told by the Tiv of central Nigeria and situate them within the dynamic of history, culture, modernity and national construction in Nigeria. The paper adopts a historicist and culturalist perspective in its interpretation of the folktales which were collected in particular Tiv communities. This methodological approach helps to crystallize the historical and cultural lineaments embedded in the people’s experiences, values and worldviews. It also constitutes a contextual background for the understanding of the folktales as they offer informed commentaries on social currents and political contingencies in Nigeria. It argues that though folktales belong to a pre-scientific and pre-industrial dispensation, they are part of the people’s intangible cultural heritage and are capable of distilling powerful statements which negotiate Nigerian modernity and postcolonial condition. The paper underscores the dynamism and functionality of folktales even in an increasingly globalised ethos.
