The subject of the presented article is the processing of archaeozoological finds from the Early Middle Age settlement in Brno-Medlánky. This relatively small set consists of two different groups of osteological material. The first represents fragments of bones and teeth coming from the so-called kitchen waste. This set was processed by standard methods consisting in determining the anatomical affiliation, species, age, or sex, and the evidence of traces of manipulation (cutting, chopping, biting). The second group of finds representing several complete skeletons of animals is quite significant, as some of the animals were not consumed. Within the three features, 3 canine (2× a dog, 1× a wolf?), a horse and a pig skeleton in the secondary position were captured. Even in these cases, the basic characteristics of the animals were recorded, including age, sex, height, and post-mortem manipulation. The presence of preserved animal bodies from the settlement in Medlánky was compared with other documented finds of skeletons of animals from this period.
Výzkumné šetření má tři hlavní cíle, které se zaměřují na hledání souvislostí mezi vybranými copingovými strategiemi a partnerskou spokojeností. Na základě prostudovaných zdrojů bylo stanoveno 10 výzkumných hypotéz. Výzkumný soubor tvořilo 60 respondentů (30 párů). Jednalo se o onkologické pacienty a jejich intimní partnery. Data byla získávána prostřednictvím vytvořeného dotazníku. První část byla zaměřena na zjišťování vybraných sociodemografických údajů. Další část byla tvořena položkami z metody WOC-CA (Dunkel-Schetter et al., 1992) určenými k měření copingových strategií. Třetí část tvořily položky z metody DAS (Spanier, 1976) pro měření partnerské spokojenosti. Na základě statistické analýzy se nepodařilo potvrdit stanovené předpoklady. and The research has three main objectives which focuse on finding links between chosen coping strategies and relationship satisfaction. Ten hypotheses were determined on the basis of literary sources. The research sample consisted of 60 respondents (30 pairs). It included the oncological patients and their intimate partners. The data were collected by using questionnaires. The first part focused on the detection of the socio-demographic data. The second part was made up of items from the method WOC-CA (Dunkel-Schetter et al., 1992) designed to measure coping strategies. The third section included items of method DAS (Spanier, 1976) for measuring relationship satisfaction. The statistical analysis was not able to confirm the research assumptions.
The article first outlines the three major phases of Islamization of Bengal, focusing particulary on the phase of mass Islamization of rural native population, which was characterized by strong tendencies to syncretism with local religious traditions. This syncretistic environment is then described in more detail with special emphasis on the Naths, Vaisnava Sahajiya, and their generally Tantric-yogicbackground. The literature that emerged from this environment is further introduced as a vehicle of mediation between the Perso-Arabic Islamic tradition and Bengalic cultural milieu. As this milieu was conspicuously Tantric in character, the article pays special attention to esoteric Islamic texts, which reveal considerable popularity of various Tantric-yogic notions and bodily techniques among Bengali Muslims., Kristýna Himmerová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The article deals with both achaelogical research of the Tall Hisban (northern Jordan) and archaelogists. Concerning the archaelogy it seems that presence of biblical Israelites of late bronze/early iron time is possible despite negative official statement issued in 1976. The negative statement might result from local unfavourable political conditions for research and tight relation between Syria and Israel caused by unsuitable interpretation of biblical names found on cuneiform tablets at Ebla at the time. Looking for all related to Israelites till now do not pertain to proper behaviour in Jordan as well., Pavel Mrázek., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
