Abstract. Roof is regarded as one of the main components of a building and understanding how to design it by the locals throughout the time plays a key role as their answer to the structural issues and problems arising during the implementation will be helpful for the new approaches to vernacular architecture. In this study, by investigating the roof of the houses in Banadkook-Dize village in Taft county (Yazd, Iran) from the appearance of the village, the reason of form changes and their method of construction have been examined. To do this, the history of the village was divided into four different era; the first era was when the village came into existence and the villagers used to live in the citadel; the second was when the citadel had no more capacity and the people went out of the citadel to construct buildings near it; the third was the constructions after the destructive flood of 1956 in the village; and the fourth one is the current construction status of the village. Except for the first period which the citadel is almost completely destroyed and no information is left, five houses were studied for each era throughout field study and an interview was conducted with the owners. The results reveal that two general forms can be seen in the form of roof in the village, that is flat and curved roof, each of which having a different method of construction. There are different reasons involved in their changes including residents' skill in its construction, finding new building materials, keeping prices reasonable prices and responding to functional demands.

Abstract The Wukan Incident attracted extensive attention both in China and around the world, and has been interpreted from many different perspectives. In both the media and academia, the focus has very much been on the temporal level of the Incident. The political and legal dimensions, as well as the implications of the Incident in terms of human rights have all been pored over. However, what all of these discussions have overlooked is the role played by religious force during the Incident. The village of Wukan has a history of over four hundred years, and is deeply influenced by the religious beliefs of its people. Within both the system of religious beliefs and in everyday life in the village, the divine immortal Zhenxiu Xianweng and the religious rite of casting shengbei have a powerful influence. In times of peace, Xianweng and casting shengbei work to bestow good fortune, wealth and longevity on both the village itself, and the individuals who live there. During the Wukan Incident, they had a harmonizing influence, and helped to unify and protect the people. Looking at the specific roles played by religion throughout the Wukan Incident will not only enable us to develop a more meaningful understanding of the cultural nature and the complexity of the Incident itself, it will also enrich our understanding, on a divine level, of innovations in social management.

Borneo Island is the third largest island in the world, rich in natural resources, biodiversity and cultural diversity. The uniqueness of Borneo is that it is home to three countries; Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, each with their own valuable cultural heritage. One of the unique aspects of the Borneo archipelago is the shared wealth of civilizations derived from the dissemination of Islam. Treasures known as the “Borneo Islamic Heritage" are not only valuable as cultural artefacts that need to be preserved, but they can also be elevated and commercialised as regional economic drivers. This paper discusses the Idahan manuscript written in Jawi script as one of the treasures of Islamic intellectual legacy in Borneo. The method of study is based on content analysis which depicts the descriptive history of the discovery of the Idahan Jawi manuscript. This manuscript not only serves as evidence of the early embrace of Islam in Sabah, but also as a reference to matters pertaining to religion and the laws of Islamic jurisprudence. This factor leads the Idahan community be considered as the first native people embracing Islam at the east coast of Sabah. The contribution of this study is to enhance understanding of the development of Islamic heritage in Borneo Island and to inculcate the spirit of solidarity among the people living in the region.

The study of the issue of child socialization is one of the current problems of ethnology. Because through the upbringing of children, one can learn a lot about the lifestyle, spiritual outlook, psychological image and socio-economic history of the people. This article aims to study the features of child socialization in a modern Uzbek village on the example of a village. The information in the article was collected during the author's expeditions to the village of Mindon in 2012-2014. Research methods: direct observation, in-depth interview-based interviews and questionnaires. Theoretically, it was based on T. Parsons' structural functional theory on the study of socialization [26, p.58.]. In this theory, the family is shown as the first major stage of socialization. The study shows that the traditional method of upbringing in the family depends on the lifestyle of the people and is based on the experience of the people in child psychology, taking into account the mental and physical aspects of the mother from pregnancy to childbirth and adulthood. The data presented in the study can be used to study the culture, ethnography, spiritual and moral characteristics of the Uzbek people and to theoretically enrich such areas as ethnopsychology, ethnopedagogy, gender socialization, sociology of education.

Estudos realizados no Distrito Águas do Miranda, município de Bonito – MS apontam alto índice de infecção por protozoários e helmintos em crianças que frequentam a escola local evidenciando grande necessidade na avaliação da qualidade da água que é distribuída para a população. Portanto, este trabalho tem o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade da água do Distrito de Águas do Miranda, por parâmetros físico-químicos, microbiológicos e parasitológicos, bem como conhecer o perfil dos moradores do Distrito. O trabalho foi realizado no Distrito de Águas do Miranda, município de Bonito-MS, onde foram realizadas quatro coletas de água em nove pontos do Distrito. As análises físico-química, microbiológica e parasitológica seguiram métodos padrões. Para verificar a variância entre os meses e os parâmetros analisados utilizou-se o teste MANOVA e a Análise dos Componentes Principais (ACP). A partir dos resultados pode-se constatar que a população do Distrito de Águas do Miranda é jovem, a maioria são pescadores, tem acesso a luz elétrica e mora em residência própria. Em relação à qualidade da água, os resultados da análise parasitológica mostram que não há contaminação por protozoários e helmintos em nenhuma das amostras. Observa-se que todas as variáveis analisadas apresentaram correlação superior a 0,5. Esses dados somados ao fato de que o lixo é descartado a céu aberto levam a conclusão de que o saneamento básico local é deficitário.  A B S T R A C TPrevious studies developed at the village of Águas do Miranda, county of Bonito – MS showed high index of infection by protozoan and helminths in children that study at the local school, demonstrating great necessity of evaluating the quality of the water distributed to the population. Therefore, this work had as its goal to evaluate the quality of the water from the village of Águas do Miranda, via physicochemical, microbiological and parasitological parameters, as well as to survey the profile of the people from the county. The work was developed at the village Águas do Miranda, county of Bonito-MS, where four samples were taken in nine different points of the village. The physicochemical analysis, microbiological and parasitological followed the same pattern.

In every country, state symbols such as the national flag, emblem, and national anthems represent the independence and sovereignty of the state. In the Soviet Union as well as in other autocratic states symbols also played an important role in propaganda, influencing peoples’ attitudes to the actions of the state at all levels. These symbols could also be found, together with powerful imagery in posters, on buildings, monuments and many other things visible and incorporated in the routine life the people. Ukraine has huge historical heritage of symbolism and propaganda from when the country was a major part of the USSR. After the creation of the USSR a political, socio-economic, cultural and spiritual experiment on the construction of a communist society, which in the case of Ukraine was unprecedented in scale and tragedy, began. The collectivization of the village is one of the most tragic pages in the history of Ukraine. As the most important grain-growing region of the country at the time its production was vital to feed the growing cities and industrialisation. The forced collectivisation led to starvation in the 1930s and millions of people died. In order to counter this most public information showed people another side of collectivization. Propaganda was used, such as posters and slogans, to persuade the peasants to join the collective farms and to promote the real or fictitious results of the workers, and, conversely, to attack people who did not want to believe in the “bright future” of the USSR and to denounce “kulaks” and “saboteurs”. Materials from archives and published sources show many examples of Ukrainian images and symbols of that time which shed a light on the way the collectivisation process was portrayed and promoted.

The fortress in the village of Achabet is known from a number of written sources of the early 15th and 18th centuries. Despite this circumstance, in the scientific tradition it is contradictory to believe that the first information about the fortress contained in written sources refers to the events of the middle of the 16th century, and the lower limit of several periods of its construction is correlated by researchers with the same time. The presence of a contradiction between the information about the fortress contained in written sources and the presentation of this information in the scientific tradition determined the relevance of this study. The aim of the study, therefore, was to resolve this contradiction by analyzing and comparing the known information from written sources about this monument with information about it contained in the historical and linguistic literature, as well as with descriptions of the monument presented in the literature on the history of fortifications of the Transcaucasia. This comparison, in turn, made it possible to present a possible chronology of the construction of a number of objects that made up the complex of the monument over several periods of its construction. According to the results of the study, it is assumed that the tower and the adjacent semicircle of the first fortress wall were erected at the turn of the 13th–14th centuries, the second fortress wall was built along the first in the second half of the 15th century, and the third wall, the largest in terms of area covered, was erected in the 30-s of the 18th century. The materials for the study were written sources, as well as information about field examinations of the monument, available in the scientific tradition. The research was carried out on the basis of the method of comparative historical analysis.

Opening ParagraphThe village-group of Nike occupies an area of some 200 square miles to the immediate north-east of Enugu, capital of the Eastern Provinces of Nigeria. It comprises 24 villages with a total population of 9,600, a figure which gives the average density of the group as 48 per square mile—one of the lowest in Ibo country.Traditions in neighbouring groups, as well as in Nike itself, affirm that before the advent of the British Administration the people of Nike were the principal slave-traders in northern Ibo-land. The first mention of the group in the history of colonial Nigeria appears in an account submitted by the Assistant District Officer, Obubra, of some exploratory journeys undertaken amongst the northern Ibo in the year 1905. Remarking, with the true empire-builder's sang-froid, that ‘the whole area seems relatively quiet and well-disposed…cannibalism and human sacrifice are more or less general’, the officer encloses an interesting sketch-map of the north-eastern section of Ibo-land which shows the Nike group to have been the main trading cross-roads of the whole of this area.
