“Wachuküa müsüka sain wanée a’laülaa joyotüsü spünalu’u ka’i katspüla skujainjatüin sukuwa ipa sumüin wachonyuu ée antüin skal’uu ka’kat”(Texto en “wayuunaiki”…idioma Wayúu)[La tradición es como una anciana que sentada en el camino de los días cuenta a las jóvenes generaciones las experiencias que ella ha vivido.]“Los Wayúu son gente de arena, sol y viento, llevan adentro la moral del desierto, han resistido durante siglos en la península de la Guajira, son grandes artesanos, y comerciantes, luchadores incansables por sus derechos históricos, que han sido muy violentados por la discriminación y el racismo”.Investigar en el mundo mágico y cosmogónico de una etnia ancestral es adentrarse en un espacio lleno de sabiduría e importantes conocimientos, lo cual no permite que el estudio del ceremonial y el protocolo escape a ello. La etnia indígena WAYÙU, ubicada en el espacio geográfico de territorio de 15.300 km2 dentro del departamento de la Guajira, Colombia, y 12.000 km2 dentro del estado Zulia, Venezuela, es un ejemplo importante de la necesidad de buscar en nuestras raíces interrogantes que a simple vista no pareciera tener respuesta. Porque hablamos de ceremonial y protocolo en las Ceremonias ancestrales y tradicionales de la etnia Wayúu? porque todo grupo humano antropológicamente ha demostrado que sus raíces provienen de MITOS, los cuales se transformaron y escenificaron en RITOS, estos evolucionaron a RITUALES que se convirtieron en CEREMONIAS, que con el paso del tiempo se estructuraron en CEREMONIALES y que fueron estructurados y normados como base de lo que hoy denominamos PROTOCOLO. De esta forma logramos llegar a la raíz primigenia del entendimiento antropológico y científico de nuestro conocimiento protocolar.La etnia Wayuu descendiente de los Arawak, presenta casi inalterablemente una serie de ceremonias ancestrales que basados en su estructura social matrilineal (podemos definir el matrilinaje Wayúu como un grupo de descendencia unilineal genealógicamente definido. Estos linajes tienen como elemento común los nexos de consanguinidad, ya que todos los individuos de cada grupo se identifican como descendientes de los mismos antepasados por línea femenina) y sin haber sufrido modificaciones estructurales importantes a través de los años, nos da una visión muy acertada de cómo podemos tras polar sus ceremonias a nuestro saber académico del protocolo actual. La estructura ceremonial de esta etnia se centra en tres hechos sociales específicos, la pubertad, la unión de pareja y en la muerte. Conoceremos como hay un eje central y conductor de estas ceremonias y cuáles son las figuras más relevantes en ella. Descubrir que, aunque no existe de manera formal el uso de términos “protocolares” la acción protocolar en si misma se realiza, como el uso de la precedencia, la etiqueta, el ente organizador, etc.___________________“Wachuküa müsüka sain wanée a’laülaa joyotüsü spünalu’u ka’i katspüla skujainjatüin sukuwa ipa sumüin wachonyuu ée antüin skal’uu ka’kat”(Text in "wayuunaiki”... language Wayúu)[The tradition is like an old woman sitting in the road that has to the younger generations the experiences that she has lived].Them Wayuu are people of sand, Sun and wind, carry in the moral of the desert, have resisted during centuries in the peninsula of the Guajira, are large craftsmen, and merchants, fighters tireless by their rights historical, that have been very violated by the discrimination and the racism.Investigate in the World Magic and cosmogonic of an ethnic ancestral is enter is in a space full of wisdom and important knowledge, which not allows that the study of the ceremonial and the Protocol escape to this. The ethnic indigenous WAYUU, located in the space geographical of territory of 15,300 km2 within the Department of the Guajira, Colombia, and 12,000 km2 within the State Zulia, Venezuela, is an example important of the need of search in our estate questions that to simple view not seems have response. Because talk of ceremonial and Protocol in the ceremonies ancestral and traditional of the ethnic Wayuu? because all group human anthropologically has shown that their estate come of myths, which are transformed and staged in rites, these evolved to RITUAL that is developed in ceremonies, that with the step of the time is structured in CEREMONIAL and that were structured and regulated as base of what today call Protocol. In this way we were able to reach the primordial root of anthropological and scientific understanding of our knowledge Protocol. The Wayuu descendant of the Arawak ethnicity, almost relentlessly presents a series of ancient ceremonies based on matrilineal social structure (we can define the genealogically defined matrilineality Wayuu as a group of unilineal descent. These lineages have common element the ties of consanguinity, since all individuals in each group identify themselves as descendants of the same ancestors by female line) and without having undergone significant structural changes over the years, gives us a very successful vision of how we can after polar ceremonies to our academic knowledge of the current Protocol. The ceremonial structure of this ethnic group focuses on three specific social facts, puberty, the union of couple and in death. We know as a conductor and central axis of these ceremonies and what are the most important figures in it. Discover that, even if it does not exist in a formal way the use of terms "Protocol" action Protocol if same occurs, as the use of precedence, label, the organizing entity, etc.KEYWORDS: Protocol, Ceremonial, Ethnicity, Cosmogony, Rites

The article examines the specifics of the preparation of dialect dictionaries – the goal and purpose, the principles of material selection and presentation. The research carried out shows that a comprehensive dialect dictionary must present the totality of words used in a dialect and reflect the most important distinguishing features of the dialect – phonetic, accentual, morphological, syntactic, semantic and stylistic fields of data. Therefore, when collecting material for a future dictionary, it is necessary to take into account three important things: 1) method of data collection, 2) themes of oral and written texts, 3) principles of compiling a database.Properly selected illustrative sentences of a comprehensive dialectal dictionary are meant to reveal the so-called microstructure of a dictionary entry, and show a broader structure of the concepts researched than demonstrated in the lexicographic definition of words.A dialect dictionary is a cultural and historical phenomenon that records the level and peculiarities of the knowledge of the world of an ethnic group at a certain period of time. Texts reveals people’s ethnic values, their attitudes towards social and religious relationships, everyday phenomena, etc. Therefore, a comprehensive dialect dictionary is to be considered as a multi-layered text of ethnic knowledge, revealing the heritage of material and spiritual culture passed down from generation to generation by a particular ethnic group. A dictionary like this regulates the most important areas of man’s life: establishes the rules of behaviour and etiquette, describes customs, provides knowledge about folk remedies and economic activities, explains world phenomena, provides fragments of mythical worldviews and so forth.

The main objective of this study is the substantiation of experiment as one of the key features of the world music in Ukraine. Based on the creative works of the brightest world music representatives in Ukraine, «Dakha Brakha» band, the experiment is regarded as a kind of creative setting. Methodology and scientific approaches. The methodology was based on the music practice theory by T. Cherednychenko. The author distinguishes four binary oppositions, which can describe the musical practice. According to one of these oppositions («observance of the canon or violation of the canon»), the musical practices, to which the Ukrainian musicology usually classifies the world music («folk music» and «minstrel music»), are compared with the creative work of «Dakha Brakha» band. Study findings. A lack of the setting to experiment in the musical practices of the «folk music» and «minstrel music» separates the world music musical practice from them. Therefore, the world music is a separate type of musical practice in which the experiment is crucial. The study analyzed several scientific articles of Ukrainian musicologists on the world music; examined the history of the Ukrainian «Dakha Brakha» band; presented a list of the folk songs used in the fifth album «The Road» by «Dakha Brakha» band; and showed the degree of the source transformation by musicians based on the example of the «Monk» song. The study findings can be used to form a comprehensive understanding of the world music musical practice. The further studies may be related to clarification of the other parameters of the world music musical practice, and to determination of the experiment role in creative works of the other world music representatives, both Ukrainian and foreign. The practical study value is the ability to use its key provisions in the course of modern music in higher artistic schools of Ukraine. Originality / value. So far, the Ukrainian musicology did not consider the experiment role as the key one in the world music.

Almost 50 per cent of the world population is constituted by the women and they have been making substantial contribution to socio-economic development. But, unfortunately their tremendous contribution remains unrecognized and unnoticed in most of the developing and least developed countries causing the problem of poverty among them. Empowering women has become the key element in the development of an economy. With women moving forward, the family moves, the village moves and the nation moves. Hence, improving the status of women by way of their economic empowerment is highly called for. Entrepreneurship is a key tool for the economic empowerment of women around the world for alleviating poverty. Entrepreneurship is now widely recognized as a tool of economic development in India also. In this paper I have tried to discuss the reasons and role of Women Entrepreneurship with the help of Push and Pull factors. In the last I have also discussed the problems and the road map of Women Entrepreneurs development in India.

The subject of this article is the genesis of the professional culture of personnel management. The last decades of the 20th century were marked by various revolutions - scientific, technical, democratic, informational, sexual, etc. Their cumulative effect has been mostly reflected in the professional revolution that shapes the professional society around the world. This social revolution has global consequences. In addition to its extensive parameters, it also has intensive ones related to the deeply-rooted structural changes in the ways of working and thinking, as well as in the forms of its social organization. The professional revolutions in the history of Modern Times stem from this theory.Employees’ awareness and accountability shall be strengthened. The leader must be able to formulate and bring closer to the employees the vision of the organization and its future goal, to which all shall aspire. He should pay attention not to the "letter" but to the "spirit" of this approach.

The article examines the correlation between the world and the word in two novels which engage with a post-apocalyptic scenario: David Markson’s Wittgenstein’s Mistress (1988) and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (2006). Shifting the focus from the very event of catastrophe to the notion of survival through memory and storytelling, both novels problematize the strained relationship between language and reality in an increasingly diminished and dehumanized world. My aim is to investigate the limits of language as well as its capacity to withstand the chaos, loss, trauma, and death that follow the apocalypse. The issues to be considered include the influence of external experience on forms of communication, the role of central metaphors (the archive and the museum in Markson’s novel; cinders and the road in McCarthy’s) and their relation to the form of both novels, as well as the word’s (in)capacity to preserve human values and hopes. Both novels will be discussed as deconstructionist projects in which language becomes a habitat at once impossible and life-preserving: in Wittgenstein’s Mistress it plays the role of both home and prison, whereas in The Road it functions as messianic discourse which simultaneously carries, propels and extinguishes the human hope for a transcendental reality beyond the post-apocalyptic emptiness and doubt.

Despite long historical ties, post-colonial relations between India and Myanmar have fluctuated between magnanimity and mistrust. While India often stood for high moral grounds and promotion of democracy, it did so at the cost of losing Myanmar to China. This affected both India and Myanmar adversely: while New Delhi’s economic, energy and security interests were hurt, isolated Yangon became more China-dependent. However, since the early 1990s, domestic developments in Myanmar and post-Cold War structural changes in the world order necessitated conditions for cooperation and mutual gains. It appears that blatant domestic suppression in, and international seclusion of, Myanmar is not desirable. Having witnessed two eras of magnanimity and mistrust, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Myanmar in 2012 heralds a prospective era of market interdependence while opening Pandora’s box: can India get a better share of Myanmar’s commercial possibilities without compromising its core interests in promoting democracy, development and diaspora protection?

AbstractFor Mandinga in Guinea-Bissau and Portugal, life-course rituals are currently provoking transnational debates on ethnic and religious identity. In Guinea-Bissau, these two identities are thought to be one and the same—to be Mandinga is to 'naturally' be Muslim. For Mandinga immigrants in Portugal, however, the experience of transnationalism and the allure of 'global Islam' have thrust this long-held notion into debate. In this article, I explore the contours and consequences of this debate by focusing on the 'writing-on-the-hand' ritual, which initiates Mandinga children into Qur'anic study. Whereas some Mandinga immigrants in Portugal view the writing-on-the-hand ritual as essential for conferring both Muslim identity and 'Mandinga-ness', others feel that this Mandinga 'custom' should be abandoned for a more orthodox version of Islam. Case studies reveal an internal debate about Mandinga ethnicity, Islam and ritual, one that transcends the common 'traditionalist'/'modernist' distinction. I suggest that the internal debate, although intensified by migration, is not itself a consequence of 'modernity' but has long been central to how Mandinga imagine themselves as both members of a distinct ethnic group and as practitioners of the world religion of Islam.
