Journal articles on the topic '1840-1894'

The final stadium larvae of Huosoma latiloba (Yu, Yang & Bu, 2008) and Huosoma tinctipenne (McLachlan, 1894) from Yunnan Province, China are described and illustrated for the first time, with diagnostic differences between the two species identified. While no morphological characters separating the adults of this genus, and the closely related western Palaearctic Pyrrhosoma Charpentier, 1840 have been found, the larvae of these two genera do show differences which are discussed here.

Three species of harpacticoids are herein recorded from the zooplankton of Rodadero beach, Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia. Samples were collected from the littoral zone, mainly at inshore areas covered by mangrove vegetation and in an adjacent oyster bank. One of them, Laophonte cornuta Philippi, 1840 is new to the Colombian harpacticoid fauna, the other two species: Distioculus minor (Scott T., 1894) and Microsetella norvegica (Boeck, 1865) are new reports to the Magdalena department. This is the first illustrated record confirming their presence in Colombia and Magdalena, northern Colombia. Comparative morphological comments and illustrations of these species are also provided to document this report.

A magyar rendészeti jogtörténetben kiemelkedő jelentőséggel bír a mezei rendőrség, hiszen az első rendőrségi törvény a 1840. évi IX. törvénycikk volt a mezei rendőrségről. A későbbi, 1894. évi szabályozás értelmében minden községnek kötelessége volt a határainak őrizet céljából esküt tett mezőőrt alkalmazni, illetve minden 100 holdnál több földtulajdonnal rendelkező egyén, valamint zárt, bekerített hely tulajdonosa tarthatott mezőőrt. A mezei rendőrségek meghatározó jellege, és a mezőőrök általános jelleggel történő alkalmazása óta nagy utat járt be a jogintézmény. A 20. században tapasztalt háttérbe szorulás után az elmúlt a rendszerváltás után kezdenek újraéledni a mezei őrszolgálatok. Jelen tanulmányban az önkormányzat rendészet ezidáig nem kutatott ágát a mezei őrszolgálatok (mezőőrségek) működését tekintjük át.

Este artigo aborda a escrita da história escolar operada pelo padre jesuíta Rafael Maria Galanti (1840-1917). O objeto de investigação em destaque é o seu Compêndio de história universal, publicado no ano de 1894. Realizamos uma reflexão que compreende os eixos de inteligibilidade que acompanham a confecção dessa obra diante de exigências epistêmicas e ético-políticas que circunscrevem a história na Primeira República, o que nos faz apreender a historicidade das próprias regras (visíveis e invisíveis) que presidem a disciplina (escolar) naquele momento especifico. O recorte analítico proposto por este texto deslinda as dinâmicas do catolicismo, do eurocentrismo e do conceito de civilização presentes no referido livro. Ao que parece essa chave interpretativa possibilita o entendimento do raciocínio historiográfico elaborado por Galanti.

Summary Laura Soames (1840–1895) came to the attention of the teaching and phonetics professions through her work in applying phonetic principles to the teaching of reading and to the pronunciation of English and foreign languages. Lauded by many European phoneticians, she was despised by Henry Sweet – much to his discredit. Her publications, especially the Introduction to Phonetics (English, French and German) (1891) and The Child’s Key to Reading (1894) reveal a capacity to simplify the more technical expositions of phonetic theory in order to achieve a popular and readable exposition of the subject. Together with a number of other phoneticians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, she represents the bridge between the work of Henry Sweet (1845–1912) and Daniel Jones (1881–1967).

Based on adults, mature pupae, and larvae sampled at the same sites on mainland Greece and on the Greek islands of Kerkyra (Corfu) and Crete, the previously unknown larval stages of Rhyacophila tsurakiana Malicky 1984, R. gudrunae Malicky 1972, and R. biegelmeieri Malicky 1984 could be associated and identified. This material enabled us to describe and illustrate the final instar larvae of these three species, and to extract reliable diagnostic characters updating the existing larval key to the Greek species of genus Rhyacophila Stephens 1836 (Karaouzas et.al. 2015). In the context of this key, R. tsurakiana (together with R. tristis Pictet 1834 and R. obtusa Klapálek 1894) lacks abdominal gills; the three species can be separated by the shape of the dorsal sclerite of abdominal segment IX and by anal proleg morphology. Rhyacophila gudrunae is the only Greek species so far where larvae are fitted with one four-filament gill on each body side of the abdomen. Finally, R. biegelmeieri has one tufted multifilament gill on each body side and can be separated from four other species sharing this gill morphology by coloration patterns and head widths; however, separation from R. nubila Zetterstedt 1840 and R. palmeni McLachlan 1879 is not yet possible. Rhyacophila tsurakiana and R. biegelmeieri are large-scale endemic caddisfly species of European Ecoregion 6 (Hellenic Western Balkan), whereas R. gudrunae is a micro-endemic species of this region and restricted to the island of Crete (Malicky 2005b; Graf et al. 2008).

Abstract Heavy snowfall and extreme snow depth cause serious losses of human life and property in the northern Tianshan Mountains almost every winter. Snow cover is an important indicator of climate change. In this study, we developed five tree-ring-width chronologies of Schrenk spruce (Picea schrenkiana Fisch. et Mey) from the northern Tianshan Mountains using standard dendrochronological methods. Correlation analyses indicated that radial growth of trees in the northern Tianshan Mountains is positively affected by annual maximum snow depth. This relationship was validated and models of annual maximum snow depth back to the 18th century were developed. The reconstruction explains 48.3% of the variance in the instrumental temperature records during the 1958/59–2003/04 calibration periods. It indicates that quasi-periodic changes exist on 2.0–4.0-yr, 5.3-yr, 14.0-yr, and 36.0-yr scales. The reconstructed series shows that maximum snow depth exhibits obvious stages change, the periods characterized by lower maximum snow depth were 1809/10–1840/41, 1873/74–1893/94, 1909/10–1929/30, 1964/65–1981/82, and the periods characterized by higher maximum snow depth were 1841/42–1872/73, 1894/95–1908/09, 1930/31–1963/64, and 1982/83–present. The lower period of annual maximum snow depth during the 1920s–1930s is consistent with the severe drought that occurred at this time in northern China. From the 1970s to the present, the maximum snow depth has increased clearly with the change to a warmer and wetter climate in Xinjiang. The reconstruction sheds new light on snow cover variability and change in a region where the climate history for the past several centuries is poorly understood.

(par Arnaud Hurel) Dans cet article, Paul Broca fixe le type de Cro-Magnon. Le 10 avril 1868, L’Écho de la Dordogne annonce une « découverte scientifique de la plus haute importance » : la mise au jour aux Eyzies-de-Tayac de sept squelettes humains « qui appartiennent évidemment à l’époque dite de l’âge de pierre ». Trois semaines plus tôt, des ouvriers ont mis au jour de façon fortuite des restes humains fossiles. Le 25 mars, à la demande du ministre de l’Instruction publique Victor Duruy (1811-1894), le géologue Louis Lartet (1840-1899) entame une fouille de ce qui va devenir l’illustre abri Cro-Magnon. Il y distingue plusieurs niveaux archéologiques et dégage les ossements de quatre adultes et un enfant associés à des artefacts. Après une première présentation au congrès de sociétés savantes en avril 1868, Lartet expose en mai les hommes de Cro- Magnon à la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris où ils vont être l’objet d’intenses discussions lors de quatre séances (21 mai, 4 et 18 juin, 16 juillet). L’étude princeps des crânes de Cro-Magnon proposée par Paul Broca (1824-1880) va fixer pour plusieurs décennies l’image des hommes de Cro- Magnon et en arrêter le type racial ; ce terme de race étant compris, dans l’esprit de Broca, dans une perspective polygéniste (pluralité d’espèces humaines). Son analyse essentiellement anthropométrique s’insère dans les débats qui l’opposent à Franz Pruner-Bey (1808-1882) sur la classification des populations humaines entre dolichocéphales et brachycéphales. Pour Broca, la population primitive représentée par les hommes de Cro-Magnon n’était ni brachycéphale ni mongoloïde. Ces individus, qui auraient constitué le peuple autochtone français, étaient dolichocéphales, de belle stature, au cerveau volumineux et de moeurs élevées, car ayant la « culture des arts ». Les BMSAP reproduisent ici in extenso cet article à l’occasion des 150 ans de la découverte des « Hommes de Cro-Magnon ». Redécouvrir cette publication de 1868 permet de comprendre comment ces vénérables ossements se trouvèrent alors mobilisés au service d’une anthropologie mêlant hommes fossiles et hommes actuels dans une même perspective classificatoire (raciologique).

In the tribe Adeliini, 45 genera are recognised: 24 endemic to Australia, nineto New Zealand, eight to New Caledonia, and three to Chile, and one(Licinoma Pascoe) that occurs in both Australia andChile. The genera of Australia and Chile are keyed and fully described, andall recognised species of Adeliini from Australia (303) and Chile (12),including synonyms and 66 new combinations, are listed in appendices. Onlycryptic features (defensive glands, stridulatory files, aedeagus, ovipositorand female tract) are described for New Zealand and New Caledonian genera, butall characters are included in an overall data matrix for analysis.The Adeliini are considered to be a tribe separate from Laenini. Therelationships of Phobelia Blanchard, Laenini,Goniaderini and Oncotini are briefly discussed. Four generic names aresynonymised: Achora Pascoe, 1869 =Isopteron Hope, 1840; DystalicaPascoe, 1869 = Adelium Kirby, 1818;Macroperas Carter, 1914 =Daedrosis Bates, 1868; andPseudadelium Kaszab, 1982 =Neoadelium Carter, 1908. New specific synonymiesproposed are Daedrosis rufipes Carter, 1934 =Tetragonomenes ruficornis (Champion, 1894);Adelium sinuaticolle Carter, 1914 =A. hackeri Carter, 1908;Dystalica multilineata Carter, 1937 =Seirotrana strigipennis Bates, 1873; andAdelium delicatulumCarter, 1919 =Adelium panagaeicolle Macleay, 1872. Two new names areproposed for new secondary homonyms: Daedrosis carteri,nom. nov. for D. antennalis Carter, 1920 (not Carter,1914), and Isopteron kulzeri, nom. nov. forCestrinus gracilis Kulzer, 1964 (not Carter, 1939).Eleven new genera and seven new species are described from Australia:Apocryphodes based onA. thompsoni, sp. nov; Bellendenumbased on B. gonyxuthum, sp. nov.;Bolusculus based on B. arcanus,sp. nov.; Diaspirus based onD. bellendenus, sp. nov.;Dicyrtodes based on D. arneius,sp. nov.; Diemenoma based onAdelium commodum Pascoe, 1869;Dorrigonum based onLicinoma umbilicata Carter, 1924;Epomidus, based on E. prionodes,sp. nov.; Monteithium based onM. ascetum, sp. nov.; Nolicimabased on Cardiothorax angusticollis Carter, 1906; andYarranum based onSeirotrana crenicollis Pascoe, 1869. Two new genera andone new species are described from Chile: Penadeliumbased on P. araucanum, sp. nov., andValdivium based onAdelium sulcatulum Fairmaire & Germain, 1860.All world genera but one were used for a phylogenetic reconstruction usingparsimony, which in turn is the basis for a biogeographic analysis. It wasfound to be necessary to divide Australia into two areas: the wet tropics ofnorthern Queensland, which have genera forming a monophyletic group with someof those of New Caledonia, and south-eastern Australia, which includes generaforming monophyletic groups with those of Chile. New Zealand genera do notparticipate in convincing monophyletic relationships with those of any othersingle area.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In East Asia, the modern hydrographical survey was promoted during the Opium War (1840&amp;ndash;1842) and the Arrow War (1856&amp;ndash;1860) by Western countries, which demanded the establishment of modern trade relations with this area. However, the application of modern mapping such as triangulation to its inlands was limited even at the end of the nineteenth century, because it required stable and innovative governments for implementation. Keeping this uneven extension of modern cartography in East Asia in mind, we should pay attentions also to various map makings, which had been carried out in most of the inlands, in order to unravel the process of transition from early modern to modern cartography. In this presentation, I would like to follow up Japanese mappings in Taiwan and Korea to scrutinize their role for the preparation of modern survey.</p><p>Japan had little geographical information of neighbouring countries except China at the start of the Meiji Government, because of the long national seclusion during the Tokugawa Era, Accordingly, it depended heavily on foreign source in this period. Concerning Korea, Japanese army printed a large map titled “A complete map of Korea” (Fig. 1), compiling Western charts, native maps of Korea, and maps of China, which were affiliated with the Qing Imperial Atlas of the 18th century. As for Taiwan, various materials including Western charts, maps prepared by an American former consul at Amoy and a Chinese administrative map copied secretly at the residence of a high official of Taiwan were gathered and translated into Japanese for the use of military expedition in 1874.</p><p>However, a stark contrast is found concerning subsequent map making in these two areas. After the treaty of Kanghwa (1876), Japanese navy promoted hydrographical survey of coasts of Korea, which had not been surveyed yet by Western ships under the pretext of the search of new treaty port. In addition, army officers were dispatched to Japanese diplomatic offices in Korea for land survey after the Imo Military Rebellion (1882). Traversing with compass and pacing was commonly conducted by them. Up to the start of the Sino-Japanese War (1894), Japanese army prepared 64 sheets of 1&amp;thinsp;:&amp;thinsp;200,000 maps to cover most of the territory of Korea compiling geographical information accumulated mainly during 1880s. In contrast, only one sheet of 1&amp;thinsp;:&amp;thinsp;200,000 and one sheet of 1&amp;thinsp;:&amp;thinsp;500,000 maps were printed till the end of 1894 for Taiwan, which had been unexpected to be battlefield (Fig.2).</p><p>However, Japanese army concentrated surveyors to Taiwan for plane table surveying after the conclusion of the peace treaty of Shimonoseki (1895), in which the cession of Taiwan was specified. Until 1903, 147 sheets of 1&amp;thinsp;:&amp;thinsp;50,000 and 1&amp;thinsp;:&amp;thinsp;20,000 maps, which covered coastal areas, were completed. Although the same kind of military survey was started in Korea, it took longer time to cover the whole area than that in Taiwan, mainly because of the native people’s resistance movements against it.</p><p>Subsequent cadastral and topographical surveys including triangulation in colonial Taiwan and Korea were carried out on the basis of these preceding mappings. In addition to geographical knowledge summarized in these transitional maps, surveyors who had mastered specialized skills during the wartime mapping played important roles in these colonial projects. It should be also noted native youth were trained and hired for these surveys.</p>

The article presents the history of the studies of the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper. Periodization of the researches by chronological periods from the XIXth century to the beginning of the XXIth century is developed. The author singles out 5 periods and the key stages of the river research during the corresponding period. Further continuation in time of the period of systematization of reliable information about the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper in 1801-1820s is substantiated. Attention is paid to the described and cartographic data of this period, in particular to the “Detailed map of the Russian Empire and adjacent foreign possessions” for 1801-1804 and “Carte de la Russie Europeenne en LXXVII feuilles executee au Depot general de la Guerre” for 1812. Theories of the XIX – early XX centuries on the formation of the river valleys of the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper are covered in detail – in the works of Nikolai Arendarenko, Nikolai Markevich, Vasily Dokuchaev, Ivan Levakovsky, Nikolai Maximovich and Eugene Oppokov. Emphasis is placed on two main cartographic works of 1840-1860, reflecting detailed hydrographic network of rivers in the region – the map by N. Arendarenko “The main rivers and ravines of Poltava province” in 1848 and “Military-topographic map of the Russian Empire” 1846-1863 years, by F. Schubert and P.A. Tuchkov. It was highlighted information about the formation of gauging system on the rivers of the left bank of the Middle Dnieper and substantiated the key stages of formation, expansion and curtailment of the gauging system from 1880 to 2012. Information about field scientific expeditions along the rivers of the study region under the leadership of hydrologists V. Lokhtin (1882 – 1892) and E. Oppokov (1894 – 1898). Information is provided on the most accurate catalog of rivers and streams of the Dnieper basin by P.L. Mashtakov, “The List of Rivers of the Dnieper Basin. With Map and Alphabetical Index.” This catalog identifies 9 large basins of the Left Bank of the Middle Dnieper, which lists 569 rivers within the study area. Spatial and temporal analysis of water management, rail transport, agriculture on the main left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper during 1910 – 1930s is carried out. Activities of Hydrometeorological Service of USSR on making hydrological descriptions of the left tributaries of the Middle Dnieper from 1949 to 1960 are covered in detail. A detailed analysis of the list of works on hydrological and other researches concerning the rivers of the left bank of the Middle Dnieper basin from 1920 to 2022 is carried out

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie kolei losów dziewiętnastowiecznego jezuity Iwana Martynowa, który wraz z trzema zakonnymi współbraćmi – Iwanem Gagarinem (1814–1882) Pawłem Pierlingiem (1840–1922) i Jewgienijem Bałabinem (1815–1895) – poświęcił swoje życie sprawom ekumenicznym, a szczególnie zjednoczeniu prawosławnej Rosji ze stolicą Apostolską. Jakkolwiek Martynow był pisarzem bardzo płodnym, a do tego wszechstronnym naukowcem, zajmującym się nie tylko kwestiami dogmatycznymi, ale także sprawami języków (szczególnie słowiańskich), sztuki, historii Kościoła, hagiografii, nie doczekał się dotąd żadnego obszernego naukowego opracowania, które pokazałoby jego miejsce zarówno w życiu religijnym, jak i naukowym Rosji i Francji. Nie zauważono jego wkładu w odkrywanie i propagowanie staroruskich tradycji kulturowych, nie poddano szerszej ocenie jego roli w tłumaczeniu i upowszechnianiu idei ekumenicznych. Materiałem badawczym będą prace Iwana Martynowa publikowane głównie we Francji, ale także w innych krajach. Wykorzystamy metodę analizy tekstowej i badań hermeneutycznych literatury podmiotu oraz przedmiotu. Szukając odpowiedzi na pytanie o zasługi Iwana Martynowa – jezuity i uczonego – spróbujemy przybliżyć jego najważniejsze teksty i te pola aktywności, które sprawiają, że powinien on znaleźć należne mu miejsce w historii religii, kultury, sztuki i literatury.

Mapondera was born in the 1840s and spent most of his life in the upper and middle Mazowe valley until in about 1894 he embarked on a career that reached its climax in 1901 when he and a large group of allies fought a pitched battle with the Rhodesian colonial authorities that led to his trial and imprisonment. Few people of his time and region have received as much attention from modern writers: articles, sections of books and a historical novel have been based on his career, and he has even had an important building named after him.This paper examines his life. It is a long paper, partly because there is so much evidence available, but also because the evidence is often vague or contradictory on certain crucial points. For example, his son and grandson could not even agree on the identity of his father. Such points must be discussed in detail before even tentative conclusions are drawn. This paper also differs from others in that most works introduce the reader to the subject by reviewing the historiography. In this case an attempt will be made to examine the evidence first and then to refer to previous writing, to allow the readers to form their own conclusions unaffected by earlier views. It also tries to use only the terminology that would have been familiar to Mapondera and his contemporaries. Thus it refers to varungu and vazungu not Rhodesian or Portuguese colonialists, and it refers to non-African individuals by their African names.

Changes to the treatment of Coleoptera family-group names published by Bouchard et al. (2011) are given. These include necessary additions and corrections based on much-appreciated suggestions from our colleagues, as well as our own research.

The following names were proposed as new without reference to family-group names based on the same type genus which had been made available at an earlier date: Dineutini Ochs, 1926 (Gyrinidae); Odonteini Shokhin, 2007 (Geotrupidae); Fornaxini Cobos, 1965 (Eucnemidae); Auletobiina Legalov, 2001 (Attelabidae). The priority of several family-group names, listed as valid in Bouchard et al. (2011), is affected by recent bibliographic discoveries or new nomenclatural interpretations. †Necronectinae Ponomarenko, 1977 is treated as permanently invalid and replaced with †Timarchopsinae Wang, Ponomarenko &amp; Zhang, 2010 (Coptoclavidae); Agathidiini Westwood, 1838 is replaced by the older name Anisotomini Horaninow, 1834 (Staphylinidae); Cyrtoscydmini Schaufuss, 1889 is replaced by the older name Stenichnini Fauvel, 1885 (Staphylinidae); Eremazinae Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1977 is treated as unavailable and replaced with Eremazinae Stebnicka, 1977 (Scarabaeidae); Coryphocerina Burmeister, 1842 is replaced by the older name Rhomborhinina Westwood, 1842 (Scarabaeidae); Eudysantina Bouchard, Lawrence, Davies &amp; Newton, 2005 is replaced by the older name Dysantina Gebien, 1922 which is not permanently invalid (Tenebrionidae). The names Macraulacinae/-ini Fleutiaux, 1923 (Eucnemidae), Anamorphinae Strohecker, 1953 (Endomychidae), Pachycnemina Laporte, 1840 (Scarabaeidae), Thaumastodinae Champion, 1924 (Limnichidae), Eudicronychinae Girard, 1971 (Elateridae), Trogoxylini Lesne, 1921 (Bostrichidae), Laemophloeidae Ganglbauer, 1899 (Laemophloeidae); Ancitini Aurivillius, 1917 (Cerambycidae) and Tropiphorini Marseul, 1863 (Curculionidae) are threatened by the discovery of older names; Reversal of Precedence (ICZN 1999: Art. 23.9) or an application to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature will be necessary to retain usage of the younger synonyms. Reversal of Precedence is used herein to qualify the following family-group names as nomina protecta: Murmidiinae Jacquelin du Val, 1858 (Cerylonidae) and Chalepini Weise, 1910 (Chrysomelidae). The following 17 Coleoptera family-group names (some of which are used as valid) are homonyms of other family-group names in zoology, these cases must be referred to the Commission for a ruling to remove the homonymy: Catiniidae Ponomarenko, 1968 (Catiniidae); Homopterinae Wasmann, 1920, Glyptini Horn, 1881 (Carabidae); Tychini Raffray, 1904, Ocypodina Hatch, 1957 (Staphylinidae); Gonatinae Kuwert, 1891 (Passalidae); Aplonychidae Burmeister, 1855 (Scarabaeidae); Microchaetini Paulus, 1973 (Byrrhidae); Epiphanini Muona, 1993 (Eucnemidae); Limoniina Jakobson, 1913 (Elateridae); Ichthyurini Champion, 1915 (Cantharidae); Decamerinae Crowson, 1964 (Trogossitidae); Trichodidae Streubel, 1839 (Cleridae); Monocorynini Miyatake, 1988 (Coccinellidae); Gastrophysina Kippenberg, 2010, Chorinini Weise, 1923 (Chrysomelidae); Meconemini Pierce, 1930 (Anthribidae). The following new substitute names are proposed: Phoroschizus (to replace Schizophorus Ponomarenko, 1968) and Phoroschizidae (to replace Schizophoridae Ponomarenko, 1968); Mesostyloides (to replace Mesostylus Faust, 1894) and Mesostyloidini (to replace Mesostylini Reitter, 1913). The following new genus-group name synonyms are proposed [valid names in square brackets]: Plocastes Gistel, 1856 [Aesalus Fabricius, 1801] (Lucanidae); Evambates Gistel, 1856 [Trichius Fabricius, 1775] (Scarabaeidae); Homoeoplastus Gistel, 1856 [Byturus Latreille, 1797] (Byturidae). Two type genera previously treated as preoccupied and invalid, Heteroscelis Latreille, 1828 and Dysantes Pascoe, 1869 (Tenebrionidae), are determined to be senior homonyms based on bibliographical research. While Dysantes is treated as valid here, Reversal of Precedence (ICZN 1999: Art. 23.9) is used to conserve usage of Anomalipus Guérin-Méneville, 1831 over Heteroscelis.

Josephinne Amann (1840-1887) foi a primeira mulher a reger uma orquestra em Portugal, em 1879. Foi apenas quase meio século depois que Francine Benoît (1894-1990) se apresentou à frente de uma orquestra de mulheres, em 1928. Nas décadas entre 1930 e 1960 mais mulheres se aventuraram na direção de orquestra, entre as quais se salientam por atividade regular Berta Alves de Sousa (1906-1997), Natércia Couto (1924-1999) e Elvira de Freitas (1927-2015). Mas a carreira de regente de todas estas mulheres foi curta. O percurso das mulheres maestras em Portugal foi marcado pelo regime político vigente e pelas suas relações com este, bem como pela ideologia de género dominante e respectiva opressão exercida sobre as mulheres. Neste artigo pretende-se traçar uma genealogia das mulheres maestras em Portugal durante período do autoritarismo de Estado (1926-1974).

Este artículo ofrece una breve visión general de la aceptación personal, la promoción y la práctica de una dieta vegetariana por parte de Elena de White. De ser una gran amante de la “carne” durante las décadas de 1840 y 1850, ella se convirtió en una defensora del vegetarianismo. El cambio se produjo durante la década de 1860 después de que ella reciba sus grandes visiones sobre la salud en 1863 y 1865. Aunque la Hna. White comenzó a practicar una dieta sin carne, ella no se convirtió en una “vegetariana estricta” hasta el año 1894 debido a varias circunstancias. Además, ella siempre promovió un enfo- que del“sentido común”en la dieta. Su llamado para optar una dieta vege- tariana está basado en dos argumentos: los benefi para la salud y las preocupaciones éticas, especialmente sobre la crueldad hacia los anima- les. Es por su liderazgo que hoy en día los adventistas del séptimo día son conocidos en todo el mundo por su mejor salud y su longevidad.

The article reviews the contents of published special course “History of Crusader Age” by V.K.Nadler, Professor of Kharkov University. It is emphasized that this special course reflected the most advanced trends on this question in European medievistics. V.K.Nadler rejected obsolete concepts by F.Wilcken and J.Michaux who treated Crusades as purely religious enterprises and specified a whole set of Crusade-generating causes, including political and social-economic changes inside West European society. Among researchers of Crusades history V.K.Nadler deservedly marked out H.Sybel, his new treatments based on critical study of medieval annals. Some of these advanced treatments were adopted by V.K.Nadler. The main initiator of Crusades, according to V.K.Nadler, was not Peter of Amiens, but papacy, namely, Urbanus II. The researcher from Kharkov refuted the widespread opinion that the idea of Crusades in the form in which it was implemented was originated still by Gregory VII. V.K.Nadler marked out that already the crusade of 1101-1102 lacked the mystical ardor and godliness that distinguished First Crusade. The later, the more mundane trends dominated. Though Fourth (Sixth by V.K.Nadler) was arranged, as V.K.Nadler correctly specified, by efforts of famous Pope Innocent III, he treated this event as a reflection of secular trends. The researcher fairly explained devastation of Byzantium in 1204 not only by military power of Crusaders. He connected this to internal reasons as well: weakening of Byzantine supreme power, growing separatism of aristocracy, mass destruction of peasantry, impoverishment of people. The subsequent Crusades, as V.K.Nadler supposed, were doomed mostly due top politics of Papacy which turned them into an instrument against its enemies both in the East and in Europe. Presentation by V. K. Nadler of causes, progress and consequences of Crusades strongly loosened Europe-centered approach inherent in numerous foreign and Russian historians.

According to the information provided by the historian, Ludwig Aigner/Lajos Abafi (1840–1909), born in a locality from Banat, Iecea Mare, the first freemasons’ lodge from Banat, named Zu den drei weißen Lilien (At the three white lilies), was founded by a baron, Maximilian Josef Linden (1736–1801) who, known by freemasons as Ardaxanes Linniphoen Mimichemen, had already acted in the Viennese lodges Zur Hoffnung and Zur gekrönte Hoffnung. Besides the Viennese connections set up in the lodge of Rosicrucians from Timișoara there were also some local personalities such as the Orthodox bishop of Arad, Petru Petrovici (1733–1780), the canonic from Cenad, Vuko Branko de Pal (Vuco-Brancovici Paul, 1725–1798), the abbot from Bezdin, Gherasim Adamovici (1733–1794) subsequent Orthodox bishop of Transylvania, Iosif Ioanovici Şacabent (the Orthodox bishop of Vârşeţ between 1786 and 1804). These connections brought the people living in Banat closer to the Jacobin movement from Hungary in 1795, run by Ignác Martinovics. There is a new phase of the masonic activity in Banat, which begins after the reestablishment of the Ioanit lodge from Timișoara, known as Zu den drei weißen Lilien, on April 3, 1868. After 1868, there were some other lodges such as Hunyady (1872–1876) and Losonczy (1899–1919; after1923, Loja Pax) from Timișoara, Concordia from Lipova (1871–1883), Kosmos (1870–1878) and Glückauf zu den drei Schlägeln in Oravița (1871–1878), Irenea from Caransebeș (1882–1894), Petőfi from Aradul Nou (1871) and Loja Dél in Lugoj (1903–1918). The lodges’ members played a special role in the cultural and civic activities in these localities. In Banat, besides the already mentioned lodges there were: Zur Wahrheit lodge from Reșița, founded in 1874, Egalitas from Vârşeţ, in 1870, Fels der Warheit from Biserica Albă, in 1873, Vaskapu Kör from Orșova, Stella Orientalis from Panciova, in 1890 and Thales from Becicherecul Mare. We don’t own any information regarding the activity of these lodges. Besides the already specified lodges there were very many people from Banat, especially intellectuals and students, who had acted in the lodges from Hungary.The collections of the Museum of Banat from Timişoara comprise several masonic objects mostly originating in the property of a baron, János Károly Hiller de Butin (1748–1819).

I za vrijeme vladavine Petra II Petrovića Njegoša od 1830. do 1851. g. bilo je nesnosno' političko stanje na granici Crne Gore i Skadarskoga i Hercegovačkoga pašaluka. Turci i Arbanasi su, tako reći. posvednevno vodili prave bitke s Crnogorcima. Oni su obično iznenada u ranu zoru upadali na crnogorsko zemljište, napadali crnogorska sela, ubijali Crnogorce, vodili u ropstvo Crnogorke i crnogorsku djecu, palili crnogorske kuće, kolibe, staje, slamu, sijeno i drugu stočnu hranu i plijenili na stotine sitne i krupne stoke. Staviše su žnjeli i usjeve s crnogorskih njiva, vozili ih svojim kućama ili su ih prilikom svoga povlačenja uništavali.

In Ireland today, we eat more pigmeat per capita, approximately 32.4 kilograms, than any other meat, yet you very seldom if ever see a pig (C.S.O.). Fat and flavour are two words that are synonymous with pig meat, yet scientists have spent the last thirty years cross breeding to produce leaner, low-fat pigs. Today’s pig professionals prefer to use the term “pig finishing” as opposed to the more traditional “pig fattening” (Tuite). The pig evokes many themes in relation to cuisine. Charles Lamb (1775-1834), in his essay Dissertation upon Roast Pig, cites Confucius in attributing the accidental discovery of the art of roasting to the humble pig. The pig has been singled out by many cultures as a food to be avoided or even abhorred, and Harris (1997) illustrates the environmental effect this avoidance can have by contrasting the landscape of Christian Albania with that of Muslim Albania.This paper will focus on the pig in Irish cuisine and culture from ancient times to the present day. The inspiration for this paper comes from a folklore tale about how Saint Martin created the pig from a piece of fat. The story is one of a number recorded by Seán Ó Conaill, the famous Kerry storyteller and goes as follows:From St Martin’s fat they were made. He was travelling around, and one night he came to a house and yard. At that time there were only cattle; there were no pigs or piglets. He asked the man of the house if there was anything to eat the chaff and the grain. The man replied there were only the cattle. St Martin said it was a great pity to have that much chaff going to waste. At night when they were going to bed, he handed a piece of fat to the servant-girl and told her to put it under a tub, and not to look at it at all until he would give her the word next day. The girl did so, but she kept a bit of the fat and put it under a keeler to find out what it would be.When St Martin rose next day he asked her to go and lift up the tub. She lifted it up, and there under it were a sow and twelve piglets. It was a great wonder to them, as they had never before seen pig or piglet.The girl then went to the keeler and lifted it, and it was full of mice and rats! As soon as the keeler was lifted, they went running about the house searching for any hole that they could go into. When St Martin saw them, he pulled off one of his mittens and threw it at them and made a cat with that throw. And that is why the cat ever since goes after mice and rats (Ó Conaill).The place of the pig has long been established in Irish literature, and longer still in Irish topography. The word torc, a boar, like the word muc, a pig, is a common element of placenames, from Kanturk (boar’s head) in West Cork to Ros Muc (headland of pigs) in West Galway. The Irish pig had its place in literature well established long before George Orwell’s English pig, Major, headed the dictatorship in Animal Farm. It was a wild boar that killed the hero Diarmaid in the Fenian tale The Pursuit of Diarmaid and Gráinne, on top of Ben Bulben in County Sligo (Mac Con Iomaire). In Ancient and Medieval Ireland, wild boars were hunted with great fervour, and the prime cuts were reserved for the warrior classes, and certain other individuals. At a feast, a leg of pork was traditionally reserved for a king, a haunch for a queen, and a boar’s head for a charioteer. The champion warrior was given the best portion of meat (Curath Mhir or Champions’ Share), and fights often took place to decide who should receive it. Gantz (1981) describes how in the ninth century tale The story of Mac Dathó’s Pig, Cet mac Matach, got supremacy over the men of Ireland: “Moreover he flaunted his valour on high above the valour of the host, and took a knife in his hand and sat down beside the pig. “Let someone be found now among the men of Ireland”, said he, “to endure battle with me, or leave the pig for me to divide!”It did not take long before the wild pigs were domesticated. Whereas cattle might be kept for milk and sheep for wool, the only reason for pig rearing was as a source of food. Until the late medieval period, the “domesticated” pigs were fattened on woodland mast, the fruit of the beech, oak, chestnut and whitethorn, giving their flesh a delicious flavour. So important was this resource that it is acknowledged by an entry in the Annals of Clonmacnoise for the year 1038: “There was such an abundance of ackornes this yeare that it fattened the pigges [runts] of pigges” (Sexton 45). In another mythological tale, two pig keepers, one called ‘friuch’ after the boars bristle (pig keeper to the king of Munster) and the other called ‘rucht’ after its grunt (pig keeper to the king of Connacht), were such good friends that the one from the north would bring his pigs south when there was a mast of oak and beech nuts in Munster. If the mast fell in Connacht, the pig-keeper from the south would travel northward. Competitive jealousy sparked by troublemakers led to the pig keepers casting spells on each other’s herds to the effect that no matter what mast they ate they would not grow fat. Both pig keepers were practised in the pagan arts and could form themselves into any shape, and having been dismissed by their kings for the leanness of their pig herds due to the spells, they eventually formed themselves into the two famous bulls that feature in the Irish Epic The Táin (Kinsella).In the witty and satirical twelfth century text, The Vision of Mac Conglinne (Aisling Mhic Conglinne), many references are made to the various types of pig meat. Bacon, hams, sausages and puddings are often mentioned, and the gate to the fortress in the visionary land of plenty is described thus: “there was a gate of tallow to it, whereon was a bolt of sausage” (Jackson).Although pigs were always popular in Ireland, the emergence of the potato resulted in an increase in both human and pig populations. The Irish were the first Europeans to seriously consider the potato as a staple food. By 1663 it was widely accepted in Ireland as an important food plant and by 1770 it was known as the Irish Potato (Mac Con Iomaire and Gallagher). The potato transformed Ireland from an under populated island of one million in the 1590s to 8.2 million in 1840, making it the most densely populated country in Europe. Two centuries of genetic evolution resulted in potato yields growing from two tons per acre in 1670 to ten tons per acre in 1800. A constant supply of potato, which was not seen as a commercial crop, ensured that even the smallest holding could keep a few pigs on a potato-rich diet. Pat Tuite, an expert on pigs with Teagasc, the Irish Agricultural and Food Development Authority, reminded me that the potatoes were cooked for the pigs and that they also enjoyed whey, the by product of both butter and cheese making (Tuite). The agronomist, Arthur Young, while travelling through Ireland, commented in 1770 that in the town of Mitchelstown in County Cork “there seemed to be more pigs than human beings”. So plentiful were pigs at this time that on the eve of the Great Famine in 1841 the pig population was calculated to be 1,412,813 (Sexton 46). Some of the pigs were kept for home consumption but the rest were a valuable source of income and were shown great respect as the gentleman who paid the rent. Until the early twentieth century most Irish rural households kept some pigs.Pork was popular and was the main meat eaten at all feasts in the main houses; indeed a feast was considered incomplete without a whole roasted pig. In the poorer holdings, fresh pork was highly prized, as it was only available when a pig of their own was killed. Most of the pig was salted, placed in the brine barrel for a period or placed up the chimney for smoking.Certain superstitions were observed concerning the time of killing. Pigs were traditionally killed only in months that contained the letter “r”, since the heat of the summer months caused the meat to turn foul. In some counties it was believed that pigs should be killed under the full moon (Mahon 58). The main breed of pig from the medieval period was the Razor Back or Greyhound Pig, which was very efficient in converting organic waste into meat (Fitzgerald). The killing of the pig was an important ritual and a social occasion in rural Ireland, for it meant full and plenty for all. Neighbours, who came to help, brought a handful of salt for the curing, and when the work was done each would get a share of the puddings and the fresh pork. There were a number of days where it was traditional to kill a pig, the Michaelmas feast (29 September), Saint Martins Day (11 November) and St Patrick’s Day (17 March). Olive Sharkey gives a vivid description of the killing of the barrow pig in rural Ireland during the 1930s. A barrow pig is a male pig castrated before puberty:The local slaughterer (búistéir) a man experienced in the rustic art of pig killing, was approached to do the job, though some farmers killed their own pigs. When the búistéirarrived the whole family gathered round to watch the killing. His first job was to plunge the knife in the pig’s heart via the throat, using a special knife. The screeching during this performance was something awful, but the animal died instantly once the heart had been reached, usually to a round of applause from the onlookers. The animal was then draped across a pig-gib, a sort of bench, and had the fine hairs on its body scraped off. To make this a simple job the animal was immersed in hot water a number of times until the bristles were softened and easy to remove. If a few bristles were accidentally missed the bacon was known as ‘hairy bacon’!During the killing of the pig it was imperative to draw a good flow of blood to ensure good quality meat. This blood was collected in a bucket for the making of puddings. The carcass would then be hung from a hook in the shed with a basin under its head to catch the drip, and a potato was often placed in the pig’s mouth to aid the dripping process. After a few days the carcass would be dissected. Sharkey recalls that her father maintained that each pound weight in the pig’s head corresponded to a stone weight in the body. The body was washed and then each piece that was to be preserved was carefully salted and placed neatly in a barrel and hermetically sealed. It was customary in parts of the midlands to add brown sugar to the barrel at this stage, while in other areas juniper berries were placed in the fire when hanging the hams and flitches (sides of bacon), wrapped in brown paper, in the chimney for smoking (Sharkey 166). While the killing was predominantly men’s work, it was the women who took most responsibility for the curing and smoking. Puddings have always been popular in Irish cuisine. The pig’s intestines were washed well and soaked in a stream, and a mixture of onions, lard, spices, oatmeal and flour were mixed with the blood and the mixture was stuffed into the casing and boiled for about an hour, cooled and the puddings were divided amongst the neighbours.The pig was so palatable that the famous gastronomic writer Grimod de la Reyniere once claimed that the only piece you couldn’t eat was the “oink”. Sharkey remembers her father remarking that had they been able to catch the squeak they would have made tin whistles out of it! No part went to waste; the blood and offal were used, the trotters were known as crubeens (from crúb, hoof), and were boiled and eaten with cabbage. In Galway the knee joint was popular and known as the glúiníns (from glún, knee). The head was roasted whole or often boiled and pressed and prepared as Brawn. The chitterlings (small intestines) were meticulously prepared by continuous washing in cool water and the picking out of undigested food and faeces. Chitterlings were once a popular bar food in Dublin. Pig hair was used for paintbrushes and the bladder was occasionally inflated, using a goose quill, to be used as a football by the children. Meindertsma (2007) provides a pictorial review of the vast array of products derived from a single pig. These range from ammunition and porcelain to chewing gum.From around the mid-eighteenth century, commercial salting of pork and bacon grew rapidly in Ireland. 1820 saw Henry Denny begin operation in Waterford where he both developed and patented several production techniques for bacon. Bacon curing became a very important industry in Munster culminating in the setting up of four large factories. Irish bacon was the brand leader and the Irish companies exported their expertise. Denny set up a plant in Denmark in 1894 and introduced the Irish techniques to the Danish industry, while O’Mara’s set up bacon curing facilities in Russia in 1891 (Cowan and Sexton). Ireland developed an extensive export trade in bacon to England, and hams were delivered to markets in Paris, India, North and South America. The “sandwich method” of curing, or “dry cure”, was used up until 1862 when the method of injecting strong brine into the meat by means of a pickling pump was adopted by Irish bacon-curers. 1887 saw the formation of the Bacon Curers’ Pig Improvement Association and they managed to introduce a new breed, the Large White Ulster into most regions by the turn of the century. This breed was suitable for the production of “Wiltshire” bacon. Cork, Waterford Dublin and Belfast were important centres for bacon but it was Limerick that dominated the industry and a Department of Agriculture document from 1902 suggests that the famous “Limerick cure” may have originated by chance:1880 […] Limerick producers were short of money […] they produced what was considered meat in a half-cured condition. The unintentional cure proved extremely popular and others followed suit. By the turn of the century the mild cure procedure was brought to such perfection that meat could [… be] sent to tropical climates for consumption within a reasonable time (Cowan and Sexton).Failure to modernise led to the decline of bacon production in Limerick in the 1960s and all four factories closed down. The Irish pig market was protected prior to joining the European Union. There were no imports, and exports were subsidised by the Pigs and Bacon Commission. The Department of Agriculture started pig testing in the early 1960s and imported breeds from the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. The two main breeds were Large White and Landrace. Most farms kept pigs before joining the EU but after 1972, farmers were encouraged to rationalise and specialise. Grants were made available for facilities that would keep 3,000 pigs and these grants kick started the development of large units.Pig keeping and production were not only rural occupations; Irish towns and cities also had their fair share. Pigs could easily be kept on swill from hotels, restaurants, not to mention the by-product and leftovers of the brewing and baking industries. Ed Hick, a fourth generation pork butcher from south County Dublin, recalls buying pigs from a local coal man and bus driver and other locals for whom it was a tradition to keep pigs on the side. They would keep some six or eight pigs at a time and feed them on swill collected locally. Legislation concerning the feeding of swill introduced in 1985 (S.I.153) and an amendment in 1987 (S.I.133) required all swill to be heat-treated and resulted in most small operators going out of business. Other EU directives led to the shutting down of thousands of slaughterhouses across Europe. Small producers like Hick who slaughtered at most 25 pigs a week in their family slaughterhouse, states that it was not any one rule but a series of them that forced them to close. It was not uncommon for three inspectors, a veterinarian, a meat inspector and a hygiene inspector, to supervise himself and his brother at work. Ed Hick describes the situation thus; “if we had taken them on in a game of football, we would have lost! We were seen as a huge waste of veterinary time and manpower”.Sausages and rashers have long been popular in Dublin and are the main ingredients in the city’s most famous dish “Dublin Coddle.” Coddle is similar to an Irish stew except that it uses pork rashers and sausage instead of lamb. It was, traditionally, a Saturday night dish when the men came home from the public houses. Terry Fagan has a book on Dublin Folklore called Monto: Murder, Madams and Black Coddle. The black coddle resulted from soot falling down the chimney into the cauldron. James Joyce describes Denny’s sausages with relish in Ulysses, and like many other Irish emigrants, he would welcome visitors from home only if they brought Irish sausages and Irish whiskey with them. Even today, every family has its favourite brand of sausages: Byrne’s, Olhausens, Granby’s, Hafner’s, Denny’s Gold Medal, Kearns and Superquinn are among the most popular. Ironically the same James Joyce, who put Dublin pork kidneys on the world table in Ulysses, was later to call his native Ireland “the old sow that eats her own farrow” (184-5).The last thirty years have seen a concerted effort to breed pigs that have less fat content and leaner meat. There are no pure breeds of Landrace or Large White in production today for they have been crossbred for litter size, fat content and leanness (Tuite). Many experts feel that they have become too lean, to the detriment of flavour and that the meat can tend to split when cooked. Pig production is now a complicated science and tighter margins have led to only large-scale operations being financially viable (Whittemore). The average size of herd has grown from 29 animals in 1973, to 846 animals in 1997, and the highest numbers are found in counties Cork and Cavan (Lafferty et al.). The main players in today’s pig production/processing are the large Irish Agribusiness Multinationals Glanbia, Kerry Foods and Dairygold. Tuite (2002) expressed worries among the industry that there may be no pig production in Ireland in twenty years time, with production moving to Eastern Europe where feed and labour are cheaper. When it comes to traceability, in the light of the Foot and Mouth, BSE and Dioxin scares, many feel that things were much better in the old days, when butchers like Ed Hick slaughtered animals that were reared locally and then sold them back to local consumers. Hick has recently killed pigs for friends who have begun keeping them for home consumption. This slaughtering remains legal as long as the meat is not offered for sale.Although bacon and cabbage, and the full Irish breakfast with rashers, sausages and puddings, are considered to be some of Ireland’s most well known traditional dishes, there has been a growth in modern interpretations of traditional pork and bacon dishes in the repertoires of the seemingly ever growing number of talented Irish chefs. Michael Clifford popularised Clonakilty Black Pudding as a starter in his Cork restaurant Clifford’s in the late 1980s, and its use has become widespread since, as a starter or main course often partnered with either caramelised apples or red onion marmalade. Crubeens (pigs trotters) have been modernised “a la Pierre Kaufman” by a number of Irish chefs, who bone them out and stuff them with sweetbreads. Kevin Thornton, the first Irish chef to be awarded two Michelin stars, has roasted suckling pig as one of his signature dishes. Richard Corrigan is keeping the Irish flag flying in London in his Michelin starred Soho restaurant, Lindsay House, where traditional pork and bacon dishes from his childhood are creatively re-interpreted with simplicity and taste.Pork, ham and bacon are, without doubt, the most traditional of all Irish foods, featuring in the diet since prehistoric times. Although these meats remain the most consumed per capita in post “Celtic Tiger” Ireland, there are a number of threats facing the country’s pig industry. Large-scale indoor production necessitates the use of antibiotics. European legislation and economic factors have contributed in the demise of the traditional art of pork butchery. Scientific advancements have resulted in leaner low-fat pigs, many argue, to the detriment of flavour. Alas, all is not lost. There is a growth in consumer demand for quality local food, and some producers like J. Hick & Sons, and Prue & David Rudd and Family are leading the way. The Rudds process and distribute branded antibiotic-free pig related products with the mission of “re-inventing the tastes of bygone days with the quality of modern day standards”. Few could argue with the late Irish writer John B. Keane (72): “When this kind of bacon is boiling with its old colleague, white cabbage, there is a gurgle from the pot that would tear the heart out of any hungry man”.ReferencesCowan, Cathal and Regina Sexton.
