The Inari Saami traditionally inhabit the area around Lake Inari in northern Finland. Despite being a minority group among the Saami, the Inari Saami have distinctive cultural traits as well as their own language, which has now about 400–450 speakers, including many children. This makes it a small language community in Wikipedia terms. It is still worth noting that Inari Saami is one of the most successful revitalisation processes in the world. During the last decades the language community has organised language nests for Inari Saami children, and it has taught the language to key members of the middle generation. The third phase of the revitalisation, strengthening the literacy of the language, is now in its initial phase. And this is where Wikipedia comes into play. In my presentation I am going to illustrate how the Inari Saami Wikipedia was born and what were the steps taken by the Inari Saami Language Association to make it all happen. I will also explain how we currently encourage the community to take an active role in developing the Inari Saami Wikipedia. We try to involve people from different backgrounds, but our main focus is on young people and students who can write Wikipedia articles as part of their studies at the University of Oulu and at the Sámi Education Institute (SAKK) in Inari. The ultimate goal is to create content that caters to the needs of the Inari Saami school in Inari and to give schoolchildren the possibility to use Wikipedia in their own language as a resource for assignments and classwork.

The article provides an overview of ten diploma theses written under the supervision of Professor of Zoology Juhan Aul at the University of Tartu from 1958–1970. The theses deal with physical development of Estonian school students in two Estonian towns (Tartu and Pärnu) and nine districts (Tartu, Elva, Põlva, Räpina, Rapla, Keila, Pärnu, Võru, Harju) according to the then existing administrative division. The theses are based on the anthropological material collected from 1956–1966.The first part of the article briefly describes the period of nearly 202 years during which the scholars related to the University of Tartu have conducted various physical anthropological studies on Estonians. These years can conditionally be divided as follows: the first period, 1814–1927 – the period from Baer to Aul, the second period, 1927–1993 – the Aul period, the third period, from 1993 to the present – the period of the Centre for Physical Anthropology.The article describes some of the options the students had for participating in anthropological research. An overview is given of the beginning of anthropological research of children and school students in Estonia and in the world. The article acquaints the reader with the whole of the so-called Aul period and the diploma theses on Estonian school students’ physical development supervised by him.The second part gives an overview of the diploma theses.

A Biochemical Society Focused Meeting on bacteriocins was held at the University of Nottingham on 16–18 July 2012 to mark the retirement of Professor Richard James and honour a scientific career of more than 30 years devoted to an understanding of the biology of colicins, bacteriocins produced by Escherichia coli. This meeting was the third leg of a triumvirate of symposia that included meetings at the Île de Bendor, France, in 1991 and the University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K., in 1998, focused on bringing together leading experts in basic and applied bacteriocin research. The symposium which attracted 70 attendees consisted of 18 invited speakers and 22 selected oral communications spread over four themes: (i) Role of bacteriocins in bacterial ecology, (ii) Mode of action of bacteriocins, (ii) Mechanisms of bacteriocin import across the cell envelope, and (iv) Biotechnological and biomedical applications of bacteriocins. Speakers and poster presenters travelled from around the world, including the U.S.A., Japan, Asia and Europe, to showcase the latest developments in their scientific research.

The article presents Armand-Jean de Rancé’s reform of the Cistercian abbey of La Trappe. It positions Rancé’s ascetic programme within the wider devotional culture of seventeenth-century France, and explores in three registers the inherent dynamic between withdrawal from the world and engagement with the world. The first register concerns the abbot’s biography, the argument being that the familial, societal and ecclesiastical ircles inhabited by Rancé before and after his conversion are more closely connected than has been traditionally seen. The second is dedicated to the position of La Trappe in contemporary society and a discussion of the continuous traffic across the monastic wall of texts, guests, rumours and myths. The third involves an examination of the role of withdrawal and engagement in Rancé’s reform and its ascetic programme, showing how the abbot expounds the central notion of solitude as a place, a condition and a strategy. The article presents key insights from the author’s doctoral thesis, which was defended at the University of Copenhagen in June 2017.

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread rapidly around the world in a frightening way. In Brazil, the third country with the highest number of infected and deaths from the disease, it is important for government health authorities to identify the federation units that stand out in cases and deaths from this disease to target resources. The circular scan statistic proposed by Martin Kulldorff allows to identify with some statistical significance the units of the federation that stand out in relation to the number of cases and deaths of COVID-19 in Brazil. Such units of federation are known as clusters. Once these clusters were identified, we used the coefficients of incidence and lethality to better describe the behavior of these clusters during three phases of the pandemic: the initial phase, the peak phase, and also the stability and fall phase. We observed changes in the location of the clusters identified in these three phases and used the R software and also the SaTScan software to obtain the maps and results, which were consistent with what was reported by the Brazilian media.

Third Phase

The key argument presented in this article is that a threefold temporal sequence can be recognized in the deployment of cup and ring marks and that these changes can throw new light on the nature of ideological evolution in northern Britain during the Neolithic. It is proposed that the initial phase relates to the symbolic portrayal of the ideological beliefs which constituted the ‘Neolithic’ (c. 4000–3200 BC) by mapping them on the landscape via outcropping bedrock. During the second phase (c. 3200–2000 BC) the significance of this symbolism is thought to be appropriated, as it is reworked into ‘man-made’ megalithic constructions which ‘monumentalize’ the landscape under the aegis of increasingly overt human control. By the third phase (c. 2000–1800 BC) a disjuncture is apparent in both the function and meaning of the cup and ring tradition culminating in its expropriation as human control of the natural world becomes more fixed.

The Canadian Light Source (CLS) in Saskatoon has been under construction for the last 4 years, and will be producing a number of very intense beams of far-IR, IR, soft and hard X-rays in 2004 for use by several hundred Canadian scientists in chemistry, surface and material science, and a host of other scientific disciplines. The CLS will dramatically enhance the Canadian spectroscopic tradition that Gerhard Herzberg help create. I begin this article (from my 2002 CIC Montreal Medal lecture) with an overview of the history of SR in Canada, beginning in 1972 with the first Canadian synchrotron workshop organized at the University of Western Ontario by Bill McGowan, and attended by Dr. Herzberg. The CLS facility is then described, along with the properties of the first and second set of beamlines to be built at the CLS. These SR beams, in the IR and X-ray regions from the third generation CSL ring, will be competitive in brightness and intensity with the best beamlines in the world for most applications. Finally, some of the present Canadian SR research at foreign SR sources is described across the entire SR spectrum. All known spectroscopic and diffraction experiments are dramatically enhanced with SR; and SR opens up new areas of spectroscopy, microscopy, and spectromicroscopy that cannot be studied with any other source of radiation.Key words: synchrotron light, X-rays, infrared, spectroscopy.

The trend of tattooing in different areas of the body has recently spread in a noticeable manner in Arab societies in general, and among young Iraqis in particular, and it becomes an obsession that is increasingly popular for both sexes as a sign of freedom and keeping pace with fashion. There are many reasons for Iraqi youth to tattoo their bodies. These reasons were presented to a sample of the students of the College of Administration and Economics /the University of Mustansiriyah. A questionnaire was distributed to 400 students from the departments of the College of Administration and Economics of all phases of study through a questionnaire to classify and discrimination the main reasons lead to tattoo working, by using the discriminant analysis. The following results have been reached and showed that the variables (, the existence of mental disorders and behavioral deviations) in the first discriminant function, and (to draw attention to the location of the tattoo and highlight the strength and rigidity) in the second discriminant function, and the two variables ( to express an indication in the psychological aspect of the person who makes a tattoo), and (a try to having a more beautiful body or a more pompous image of the arm and body drawn to refer to a person who has been killed or bombed),  and In the third discriminant function they had a high effect, they contributed positively to the causes of the phenomenon of tattoos, while the variables  in the first and second discriminant functions, and in the third discriminant function have significant negative contribution to discrimination, as well as that the  level of knowledge of the students of the first and second study phases about the tattoo health risk has been evaluated, which was weak for them, while it was average for the students of the third phase, and good for those of the fourth phase.
