The North as an Empowering Place: Young People’s Experiences of Space and Place in the Novels Ykä yksinäinen (”Lonely Ykä”, 1980) and Kehnompi Kettunen (“The Inferior Kettunen”, 1986) by Anna-Liisa Haakana The subject of my article is Anna-Liisa Haakana’s two novels for young people: Lonely Ykä (My One-Legged Friend and Me) (1980) and The Inferior Kettunen (1986). By analyzing Haakana’s novels I study how young people living in northern Finland experience different spaces and places. The main characters of the novels, 15-year-old Ykä and Jukkis, discover their own sexuality, relationships and themselves in the space of nature. It leads them to feel deep love and attachment, topophilia, toward the North. Important places are also the isolated cabins in the middle of nature, where the boys can spend nights and train to cook and manage themselves. The nature functions as a compensation for the lack of such places that are usually important to young people. The boys meet friends in the center of the village as well, usually in cafés of gas or bus stations. These kind of places can increase their feelings of anxiety and hate, topophobia of the North: competition among young people, drinking and other troubles are born there. Other reasons for topophobia are the state of unemployment, the tattle of others, who know one another well, and the negative TV news from countries stricken by war and famine. Despite the topophobia present in these books, the North is depicted as a place where the young characters of Haakana’s books feel such a deep love, topophilia, toward the North, that they want to stay there. Their feelings of topophobia are only temporary.

This paper explores the Wancho communities in the Longding District of Arunachal Pradesh, located in the north-east of India, analysing their architecture in its traditional cultural and geographical context. Through a phenomenological study of the landscape and architecture of the Wancho, it reveals how these communities create forms and inscribe their particular patterns upon the landscape, resulting in a unique built expression. Phenomenology emphasizes lived experience and enquires into the related concepts of space and place, understanding how physical phenomena are inscribed with meanings. Accordingly, the Wancho settlements in Arunachal Pradesh have been seen through the lens of lived-experiences that provide them with meanings. In Wancho settlements the emotional and subjective attachment of the community to their place is strong, and is reflected through the material reality of the village and its environment. Seen as a whole, the settlements integrate climatic and other natural environmental factors, as well as the cultural institutions, values and practices of these people, which are also reflected through the craft and local skills of the community. The traditional Wancho settlements are “read” here by considering their landscape and townscape as “texts”.

Women’S Views

This was the call of a peasant woman, most likely a teenager, prompting her friends and neighbors to join her in composing and singing chastushki, the short ditties that enlivened all youth gatherings. The humorous songs were the spontaneous creation of young people of both sexes for an audience their own age. At times ironic, biting, or plain silly, chastushki expressed the composers' views on almost all facets of the young peasant's life: love, homelife, the way to dress, the changing countryside, and the world beyond the village. We know little about the views of the young peasant woman in the Russian countryside just after the Revolution. She is rarely the subject of scholarship, and her voice is seldom heard in the rich literature of the 1920s. In the wake of the revolutions of 1917 peasants made up 80 percent of the population; their children nineteen years of age· or younger accounted for half of the rural population, with females making up half of that age group. As the expression of the village young people, the chastushka is an invaluable historical source that captures the tension between old and new. This interpretative essay seeks to use chastushki as a tool in reconstructing aspects of post-revolutionary peasant mentalite-that is, the views, attitudes, and mores of peasant society.

Social Phenomenology

The method of social phenomenology is seen as appropriate to describe the dimensions of poverty so that reality will be found in the "Poor Village" of the Village of Fishermen across the country. The intersection between Marxist thinking, Chambers and the phenomenological method lies in the unit of analysis. The unit of analysis in the phenomenology method lies in the subjectivity that leads to things that appear around, so that the facts presented are facts in accordance with what is felt by the subject under study. If it is associated with Marxist perspectives that talk a lot about class, which in other words there are actors or actors in the class. The state provides assistance to poor families as a solution to poverty alleviation, but in reality the assistance provided by the State preserves poverty.

The effort to strengthen the village is the constitutional mandate contained in Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. the law is considered to place the village government as the subject of development in the village, has broad autonomy, and has broad authority in regulating governance in accordance with the potential of each village. On the other hand, there are concerns from the village government because they do not have the ability to carry out the village law mandate. Responding to village worries in North Halmahera, a North Halmahera Regent Decree was born numbered 814.1 / 2018 concerning Appointment of Regional Contract Workers with Work Agreements in Villages in North Halmahera Regency. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the policy for the appointment of regional contract workers in an effort to strengthen villages in North Halmahera Regency. Furthermore, this study uses qualitative research methods. Because of this the unit of analysis of this research is the village government of the Central Tobelo sub-district and the results of this study indicate that the Regional Government Policy of the North Halmahera Regency in the appointment of regional contract workers did not run smoothly in accordance with the program's objectives, due to lack of communication or direct socialization to the village government or community. Most of the contract workers assigned in the villages cannot carry out their main tasks, because of their limited capacity and because they are not given assignments by the local village government. As for funding this program, there is no problem, all regional contract workers are paid above the district minimum wage standard. In the implementation of regional contract personnel recruitment has been carried out openly and transparently. Furthermore, there is no good collaboration between the Regional Personnel Agency and Apparatus Resources with the Community and Village Empowerment Agency in coaching and training so that contract workers cannot carry out their duties properly.

The occurrence of a pre-Glacial marine terrace and raised beach along the coast of the south of Ireland was described by Messrs. Wright & Muff in 1904, and its development in the eastern part of co. Waterford was the subject of two short papers by the author in 1907 in this Magazine. Messrs. Wright & Muff (op. cit.) observed the same raised beach only in the south-eastern portion of co. Wexford, so that its recognition this summer by the author further north along the east coast of Ireland deserves recording, for it has been traced for several miles to the north and south of Courtown Harbour, and its height, characters, and relations to the overlying deposits show that it is a continuation of the same feature. The first locality to be mentioned is about 3 miles to the south of the village of Courtown, where relics of it are preserved between Roney Point and Salt Rock; it is still more distinct as a rock-terrace a little further north at Pollshone Head and Breanoge Head, but in the bays between these points the conditions are not favourable for its exposure, as there are no rocky cliffs, only extensive sand-dunes stretching along the shore. From Courtown Harbour northwards for about 2 miles to Duffcarrig Rocks sand-dunes are similarly developed, forming a nearly continuous line of ridges rising to heights of over 50 feet. Thick drift deposits occur behind them, but no pre-Glacial cliff or platform is exposed. At Duffcarrig Rocks solid rock again appears forming the headland, and we can recognize remnants of the rock-cut shelf in a much eroded and fissured condition.

Explosions in mines, from the kindling of the inflammable gas called Fire-Damp by the miners, have always occasionally occurred. Of late they have become more frequent in some of the coal-mines in this country, particularly those in the districts of the Tyne, and the Wear, in the North of England, and have been attended with such fatal consequences, as to have forcibly called public attention to the subject. In an explosion in one mine, about two years ago, ninety-two persons were killed; in another, which occurred soon after, thirty-two lost their lives; in one which happened within these few months, fifty-seven persons were destroyed; and recently, it has been affirmed, that several hundred lives are lost annually from this cause. From the state of the mines, particularly in the accumulation of wastes, the collection of water, and the increasing depth of the workings, there is reason to fear, too, that such accidents will become more frequent. Humanity loudly calls, therefore, on every effort being made to obviate the calamity; and even as a national concern, the immense loss of property in the mines, and the probability which has been suggested, that the working of them must ere long be abandoned, give to the subject the highest claims to consideration.

The accidents arising from the explosion of the fire-damp or inflammable gas of coal mines, mixed with atmospherical air, are annually becoming more frequent and more destructive in the collieries in the North of England. A committee has been for some time formed at Sunderland for the benevolent purpose of investigating the causes of these accidents, and of searching for means of preventing them. In consequence of an invitation from the Rev. Dr. Gray, one of the most active members of this committee, I was induced to turn my attention to the subject. I went to the North of England, and visited some of the principal collieries in the neighbourhood of Newcastle, for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the workings, and the state of their ventilation. I found the greatest desire to assist my enquiries in the gentlemen acquainted with the northern collieries, as well as in the inspectors or viewers of the mines; and I have particular obligations on this point to the Rev. Dr. Gray, Cuthbert Ellison, Esq. M. P., the Rev. John Hodgson, Mr. Buddle, and Mr. Dunn. Dr. Fenwick, Dr. Clanny, and Mr. Fenwick, likewise kindly offered me their assistance.

A total of 212 new members of the staff of the North-Eastern Fever Hospital were Schick and Moloney tested. The Schick-positive reactors were immunised with formol toxoid and post-Schick and Moloney tests were performed. The following conclusions were reached:(1) The intradermal toxoid test of Moloney or Zoeller corresponds exactly with the pseudo response in the Schick test.(2) The pseudo response is as efficient as the Moloney for detecting possible reactors to immunising doses of toxoid, and is a more accurate control of the Schick test. The Moloney therefore appears redundant.(3) A positive MP (Moloney or pseudo) reaction accurately indicates those who will react to immunisation; but a negative MP is no guarantee that the subject will not react.(4) The MP-reaction is evidence of bacterial hypersensitiveness to specific products of the body of the diphtheria bacillus.(5) Zoeller's theory that hypersensitiveness is a half-way stage between susceptibility and immunity, is incorrect.(6) MP-reactions usually, but not invariably, develop pari passu with immunity. Because of this parallelism tests of hypersensitiveness give information as to the state of immunity.The significance of tests of infection, hypersensitiveness and immunity are considered; and the possible relationship of MP-reactions with bacterial immunity suggested.

Abstract In July 2019, the village of Nizhniy Bestyakh in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutiya), the Russian Far East, was finally able to celebrate the opening of an eagerly awaited railroad passenger connection. Through analysis of rich ethnographic data, this article explores the “state of uncertainty” caused by repeated delays in construction of the railroad prior to this and focuses on the effect of these delays on students of a local transportation college. This college prepares young people for railroad jobs and careers, promising a steady income and a place in the Republic's wider modernization project. The research also reveals how the state of uncertainty led to unforeseen consequences, such as the seeding of doubt among students about their desire to be a part of the Republic's industrialization drive.
