Academic literature on the topic 'Poliginy'

AbstractMarriage is formed to create a harmonious, happy, and prosperous family (sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah). Polygyny or better known as polygamy has always been a subject of fiqh which has always been excellent among fiqh experts and researchers of Islamic law. This form of polygamy is well known among medes, babylonia, abyssinia, and Persians. The Prophet Muhammad allowed polygamy among his people because it was also practiced by the Greeks, among whom even a wife could not only be exchanged but could also be traded commonly among them. Australia and Mormons in America. Even Hinduism in India does not prohibit polygamy. The jahiliyyah Arabs married a number of women and regarded them as possessions, even in large part, especially as they were not part of a marriage because the women could be brought, owned and sold as they pleased. Polygamy becomes an emergency exit for a husband who has been established in household mahligai as a protection against adultery. AbstrakPerkawinan dibentuk untuk menciptakan keluarga yang bernuansa harmonis, bahagia, dan sejahtera, (sakinah, mawaddah, dan rahmah). Poligini atau lebih dikenal dengan istilah poligami senantiasa menjadi bahasan fiqih yang selalu menjadi primadona dikalangan para ahli fiqih dan para peneliti hukum Islam. Bentuk poligami telah dikenal diantara orang-orang medes, babilonia, abesinia, dan Persia. Nabi Muhammad SAW membolehkan poligami diantara masyarakatnya karena telah dipraktekkan juga oleh orang-orang yunani yang diantaranya bahkan seorang istri bukan hanya dapat dipertukarkan tetapi juga dapat diperjual belikan secara lazim diantara mereka. Australia serta mormon di Amerika. Bahkan ajaran hindu di India tidak melarang poligami. Orang-orang arab jahiliyyah menikahi sejumlah wanita dan menganggap mereka sebagai barang kepunyaan bahkan dalam sebagian besar khususnya ia bukanlah bagian perkawinan karena para wanita itu dapat dibawa, dimiliki, dan dijual sekehendaknya. Poligami menjadi sebuah emergency exit bagi seorang suami yang telah mapan dalam mahligai rumah tangga sebagai proteksi terhadap perbuatan perzinaan.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong><em> Marriage, as one of the subject </em><em>domains of Islamic studies, often led to problems in a number of cases if it is related to polygamy. Polygamy was often only seen from the perspective of the needs and the existence of man. Wives who accepted polygamy were synonymous with stigma called "trouble maker wives." This point of view caused community see polygamy as a form of abuse and torture against women. However, the practice of in disguise polygamy was still going on firmly. n. A male was "allowed" to have as many women as he wants, as long as it was not carried out in public </em><em>registry office or religious court. Illegal polygamy had raised many social problems and made women as its victims. Studies through the perspective of the economy, particularly through the concept of supply and demand, indicated that people's attitude which opposed toward polygamy had made all women in a very poor bargaining position. The struggle of feminists to reject polygamy was a wrong step that could </em><em>disadvantage womankind. That is why this study tried to explore polygamy from Islamic perspective. Islam actually had given privilege to every wife to ensure the harmony of family and happiness of life. However, if a wife was not comfortable with being polygamous relationships, she could get out of his marriage without being given the burden of a child, living, as well as fearing of getting public censure. Islam gave ease to every woman to marry another better </em><em>man.</em></p><p dir="RTL"><strong>الملخص</strong> :إن موضوع "النكاح" كأحد الموضوعات في الدراسات الإسلامية، كثيرا ما أنشأت الخلافات في جوانب، ومنها تعدد الزوجات. وهذا التعدّد يُنظر كثيرا من ناحية الحاجة وكنه الرجل. والزوجة القابلة للتعدّد لها سمة "المرأة ذات مسألة". هذه الوجهة من النظر جعل المجتمع ينظر إلى "تعدد الزوجات" كشكل التعذيب للنساء. لكن وقوع عملية هذا التعدّد خفية مستمرّ. يجوز للرجل أن يملك لنفسه عددا من النساء على حسب رغباته، بشرط أن لا يكون تحت "النكاح". سبّب هذا النوع من التعدد (غير الرسمي) إلى ظهور مشاكل إجتماعية ووضع المرأة مظلومة. دلّت الدراسة – بوجهة النظر الإقتصادية – وخاصة بالمفهوم " <em>supply and demand” </em><em> " </em>أن موقف المجتمع المعارض لتعدد الزوجات وضع المرأة في موضع تساوم وضيع. وجهاد الحركة النسائية لرفض التعدد هو خطوة ضالة ومخسّرة للنساء أنفسهنّ. لذا فإن هذه الدراسة حاولت دراسة "تعدد الزوجات" بمنظار الإسلام. ولقد أعطى الإسلام حقا مثاليا للزوجة للتأكد على سعادة الحياة الزوجية ورفاهيتها. لكن لو أنها شعرت بعدم الاطمئنان بالتعدّد، يجوز لها الانفصال عن النكاح بدون عبء الأولاد، والنفقات، أو الخوف من لومة المجتمع. وأجاز الإسلام أن تنكح هي من رجل آخر أحسن من زوجه الأول.</p><p><strong>Abstrak: </strong><em>Pernikahan, sebagai salah satu dari ranah subyek kajian Islam, seringkali memunculkan permasalahan dalam sejumlah hal, termasuk ketika ia direlasikan dengan poligami. Poligami seringkali hanya dilihat dari perspektif kebutuhan dan eksistensi laki-laki. Istri yang menerima poligami identik dengan stigma “istri bermasalah.” Sudut pandang ini menyebabkan masyarakat memandang poligami sebagai bentuk penyiksaan terhadap perempuan. Namun praktik poligami secara terselubung tetap terjadi. Laki-laki “diperbolehkan” memiliki perempuan sebanyak yang ia mau, selama tidak dilakukan di dalam lembaga pernikahan. Poligami ilegal menimbulkan berbagai persoalan sosial dan menempatkan perempuan sebagai korban. Kajian melalui perspektif ekonomi, khususnya melalui konsep supply and demand, menunjukkan bahwa sikap masyarakat yang antipoligami telah menempatkan seluruh wanita dalam posisi tawar yang sangat rendah. Perjuangan kaum feminis untuk menolak poligami merupakan langkah yang tersesat dan justru merugikan kaum perempuan. Karenananya kajian ini mencoba untuk mengeksplorasi poligami melalui perspektif Islam. Islam sejatinya memberi hak istimewa kepada istri untuk memastikan keharmonisan rumah tangga dan kebahagiaan hidup. Namun, bila istri tidak nyaman dengan poligami, ia boleh keluar dari pernikahannya tanpa beban anak, nafkah, maupun kekhawatiran mendapatkan celaan masyarakat. Islam memberi kemudahan untuk menikah dengan laki-laki lain yang lebih baik.</em></p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>poligami, supply, demand, perempuan, istri, perspektif Islam.</p>

Noise is one of the most common adverse environmental factors. Military bases and airports and the areas surrounding them are affected by acoustic impact. The problem of military noise is researched in this article. Since 2004 Šiauliai Airport has been the site of NATO forces’ base in the Baltic States for the protection of the region's airspace. Military aircraft are used for the mission. The Kairiai military grounds on the Curonian Lagoon is the only site in Lithuania where all kinds of military forces may arrange their training. Measurement of the level of noise caused by Šiauliai Airport in residential and public areas of the surrounding areas and by the Kairiai military grounds was carried out using a Nor121 digital sound analyser. It was found that the maximum noise level (Lmax) in the surroundings of Šiauliai Airport sometimes exceeds the permissible maximum noise level specified in HN 33:2007. Exceeding of Lmax on aircraft flights was short (up to 5 minutes). The calculated level of noise Lden and Lnight at all points of measurement within the territories surrounding Šiauliai Airport does not exceed the limit values and causes no damage to the health of the population in Šiauliai. The noise generated by shooting at Kairiai military grounds causes no damage to the health of residents. Santrauka Vienas iš plačiausiai paplitusių kenksmingų aplinkos veiksnių yra triukšmas. Akustinį poveikį patiria karinių poligonų ir aerodromų aplinka. Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjama karinio triukšmo problema. Nuo 2004 m. Šiaulių oro uostas tapo Baltijos šalių NATO pajėgų dislokacijos vieta, iš kurios vykdoma Baltijos šalių oro apsauga. Šiai apsaugai atlikti naudojami kariniai lėktuvai. Prie Kuršių marių įsikūręs Kairių poligonas yra vienintelis Lietuvoje, kuriame gali treniruotis visų rūšių karinės pajėgos.

Nustatyta, kad maksimalus triukšmo lygis (L max) Šiaulių oro uosto aplinkoje kartais viršija leistinąjį maksimalų triukšmo lygį pagal HN 33:2007. L max viršijimai, siejami su orlaivių skrydžiais, buvo trumpalaikiai (iki 5 min.). Apskaičiuoti dienos, vakaro, nakties triukšmo lygis L dvn ir nakties triukšmo rodiklis L nakties neviršija ribinių triukšmo dydžių, Šiaulių miesto gyventojų sveikatai grėsmės nekelia. Kairių poligone šaudymo pratybų keliamas triukšmas gyventojų sveikatai grėsmės nekelia.

Poligamy has been a sensitive issue and a heated debate among ulamas, Muslim scholars, and interpreters of the Qur’an since a long time ago. There are three opinions on interpreting verses considered as the source of law on poligamy and which is written in the books of the Qur’anic exegeses. Firstly, the group of interpreters who allow poligamy absolutely and extremely flexible. Secondly, the group of interpreters who allow poligamy but under very strict requirements. Thirdly, the group of interpreters who reject and prohibit and even consider poligamy as an unlawful act for any reasons. Within such a context Shaykh Mushthafā al-‘Adawī wants to give a full explanation about the understanding on poligamy especially that is related to the concept of equality in the poligamy by interpreting qur’anic verses which are understood controversially by using the methode of interpreting the Qur’an with other verses of the Qur’an, sound narration, munāsabah al-ayāt (interralated quranic verses), and the context of the verse of poligamy itself.<br />---<br /><br />Poligami telah menjadi isu sensitif dan perdebatan sengit antara para ulama, ilmuwan Muslim, dan penafsir Alquran sejak dahulu kala. Ada tiga pendapat dalam menafsirkan ayat-ayat yang dianggap sebagai sumber hukum tentang poligami dan yang ada dalam kitab-kitab tafsir Alquran. Pertama, kelompok penafsir yang mengizinkan poligami dan sangat fleksibel. Kedua, kelompok penafsir yang mengizinkan poligami namun memiliki persyaratan yang sangat ketat. Ketiga, kelompok penafsir yang menolak dan melarang dan bahkan menganggap poligami sebagai tindakan melanggar hukum karena alasan apapun. Dalam konteks seperti itu, Syekh Mushthafā al-'Adawī ingin memberikan penjelasan lengkap tentang pemahaman poligami terutama yang berkaitan dengan konsep kesetaraan dalam poligami dengan menafsirkan ayat-ayat qur'an yang dipahami secara kontroversial dengan menggunakan metode untuk menafsirkan Qur'an dengan ayat-ayat Al Qur'an lainnya, narasi yang baik, munāsabah al-ayāt, dan konteks ayat poligami itu sendiri.

A differenza dell'Angiografia, l'esame Angio-RM consente la simultanea visualizzazione dei vasi del poligono. Si è valutata la correlazione esistente tra calibro dei sifoni e asimmetrie di sviluppo del poligono nella popolazione normale. Sono stati esaminati 3 casi di occlusione totale di una carotide. 120 pazienti privi di patologie vascolari o neoplastiche sono stati sottoposti ad esame Angio-RM 3DTOF con Magnetization Tranfer e TONE. Sono state valutate le immagini di sorgente e 3DMIP, prima e dopo sottrazione dei pixel non vascolari. I pazienti sono stati suddivisi in 5 gruppi: I = aplasia di A1, II = ipoplasia di A1, III = lieve asimmetria di A1, IV ? arteria comunicante posteriore fetale, V = poligono simmetrico. Inoltre i pazienti sono stati suddivisi in base al calibro della carotide interna in: A (simmetrico), B (lieve asimmetria), e C (marcata asimmetria). è stata calcolata la percentuale di differenza di calibro (PDC) tra carotide destra e sinistra (Cmin/Cmax). Sono stati posti in correlazione PDC e simmetria dei vasi del poligono. I pazienti del gruppo C sono stati sottoposti a color Doppler dei vasi al collo, per escludere vasculopatia a monte. Una differenza statisticamente significativa in termini di PDC tra sifone carotideo destro e sinistro è stata osservata unicamente nei pazienti di gruppo I e II. I pazienti affetti da occlusione del sifone carotideo con compenso via Al dimostravano un calibro di Al superiore rispetto ai gruppi III, IV e V. Per quanto una asimmetria di calibro dei sifoni carotidei possa suggerire l'esistenza di una patologia vascolare a monte, è necessario considerare le varianti anatomiche correlate all'asimmetrico del poligono di Willis. Il bilancio dei rami collaterali esistenti a livello del poligono di Willis mediante Angio-RM è importante per la valutazione dei possibili circoli di compenso.

In this work, we propose a multi agent system for digital image steganalysis, based on the poliginic bees model. Such approach aims to solve the problem of automatic steganalysis for digital media, with a case study on digital images. The system architecture was designed not only to detect if a file is suspicious of covering a hidden message, as well to extract the hidden message or information regarding it. Several experiments were performed whose results confirm a substantial enhancement (from 67% to 82% success rate) by using the multi-agent approach, fact not observed in traditional systems. An ongoing application using the technique is the detection of anomalies in digital data produced by sensors that capture brain emissions in little animals. The detection of such anomalies can be used to prove theories and evidences of imagery completion during sleep provided by the brain in visual cortex areas

Il teorema della mappa di Riemann afferma che gli insiemi aperti semplicemente connessi contenuti strettamente nel piano complesso sono biolomorfi al disco unitario. Quando l'aperto semplicemente connesso di cui si parla è un poligono, è possibile trovare una formula esplicita del biolomorfismo. Questo elaborato si propone di studiare alcuni aspetti di tale formula. Viene quindi definita la formula di Schwarz-Christoffel e si mostra che essa si estende con continuità sul bordo del disco unitario. Successivamente, si utilizza la caratterizzazione delle rette quali curve a curvatura nulla per dimostrare che la formula in questione mappa tratti del bordo del disco in segmenti rettilinei. Infine, ci si avvale della definizione di indice di una curva rispetto ad un punto e del principio dell'argomento come strumenti fondamentali per la dimostrazione del fatto che la restrizione della formula di Schwarz-Christoffel al disco unitario è un biolomorfismo.

Military grounds are territories with specific purpose. Various kinds of military installations, ammunitions and explosives are used in such areas. Because of these reasons, soil in military grounds is very often polluted with heavy metals and oil products; because of continuous damages, made to the top soil, vegetation is very scarce, in some spots missing – sandy wastelands are formed. Explosions, performed in military grounds, can be characterized by both thermal and chemical effect (soil pollution with such compounds, like lead, zinc, copper etc). Not only soils in military grounds and surrounding areas can be polluted because of military activities, but surface water bodies and groundwater as well. Aiming on determination and estimation of the level of pollution and disturbance of superficial layer of soil in military grounds, it is essential to do comprehensive research on physical (explosions and other mechanical effects) and chemical (pollution with heavy metals) effects on soil, caused by militaryactivities, and to evaluate potential danger of pollutants spread and groundwater pollution. It is important to foreseen changes of soil damage and pollution depending on impact strength, type and intensity of military action, performed in specific area, and to evaluate pollution dispersion in deeper layers of soil, relying on investigation results and long-term prognosis. It is necessary to apply and elaborate effective methods for cleaning of polluted soils from military... [to full text]

UVOD: Vilisov poligon predstavlja najznačajniju rezervu kolateralnog protoka između ekstrakranijalnih arterija koje vaskularizuju mozak i ima sposobnost razvoja kolateranih puteva kod ekstrakranijalne karotidne bolesti. Ova anatomska struktura podložna je varijacijama koje uključuju i prekid kontinuiteta i nekompletnost kolateralizacije. CILJEVI: Cilj je bio da se utvrdi da li nekompletnost Vilisovog poligona utiče na češće pojavljivanje neurološke simptomatologije i ishemijske moždane lezije kod pacijenata sa ekstrakranijalnom karotidnom bolesti. Takođe cilj je bio i da se utvrdi da li cerebrovaskularna reaktivnost kod pacijenata sa asimptomatskom ekstrakranijalnom karotidnom bolesti zavisi od kompletosti Vilisovog poligona i na koji način hirurški tretman utiče na parametre cerebrovaskularne rezerve kod pacijenata sa kompletnim i nekompletnim Vilisovim poligonom. METOD: U retrospektivnoj studiji analiziran je nalaz MRA kod 211 pacijenata sa ekstrakranijalnom karotidnom bolesti i 102 pacijenta iz kontrolne grupe. U prospektivnoj studiji je kod 98 pacijenata sa asimptomatskom karotidnom bolesti pored MRA nalaza određivana cerebrovaskularna reaktivnost putem određivanja „breath hold index“-a (BHI) pre i nakon operativnog tretmana. REZULTATI: Nekompletan Vilisov poligon nađen je kod 25% asimptomatskih, 47,5% simptomatskih pacijenata sa karotidnom bolesti i kod 59% kontrolne grupe pacijenata, pri čemu su se razlike pokazale kao statistički značajne. Kod asimptomatskih pacijenata sa nekompletnim Vilisovim poligonom BHI preoperativno iznostio je 0,62 a postoperativno 1,01 na strani lezije. U slučaju nekompletnog Vilisovog poligona preoperativna vrednost BHI iznostila je 0,88 a postoperativna 1,09 na strani lezije. Razlike su se pokazale kao statistički značajne između grupa i pre i posle operativnog tretmana. Porast je bio statistički značajno izraženiji u grupi asimptomatskih pacijenata sa nekompletnim Vilisovim poligonom. Nisu zabeležene major operativne komplikacije (perioeprativni moždani udar,smrtni ishod) a na pojavu hiperperfuzionog sindroma najviše su uticali kompletnost Vilisovog poligona, vrednost BHI i preoperativni tretman hipertenzije. ZAKLJUČCI: Nekompletan Vilisov poligon predstavlja faktor rizika za pojavu neurološke simptomatologije ili ishemijske moždane lezije kod pacijenata sa ekstrakranijalnom karotidnom bolesti. Kod asimptomatskih pacijenata nekompletan Vilisov pologon utiče na smanjenu cerebrovaskularnu reaktivnost i veći rizik od moždanog udara. Parametri cerebrovaskularne reaktivnosti signifikantno se poboljšavaju nakon operativnog tretmana.
INTRODUCTION: Circle of Willis is the most important reserve of collateral flow between the extracranial arteries that supply the brain and has the ability to develop collateral pathways in extracranial carotid disease. This anatomical structure is subject to variations which include a disruption in the continuity and incompleteness of collateralisation. OBJECTIVES: was to determine whether the incompleteness of the Circle of Willis is more often associated with neurological symptoms and ishemic cerebral lesions in patients with extracranial carotid artery disease. Also, the objective was to determine whether cerebrovascular reactivity in patients with asymptomatic extracranial carotid artery disease depends on the completeness Circle of Willis and how surgical treatment affects the parameters of cerebrovascular reserve in patients with complete and incomplete Circle of Willis. METHODS: This study analyzed the findings of MRA in 211 patients with extracranial carotid artery disease and 102 patients in the control group. In prospective study in 98 patients with asymptomatic carotid artery disease in addition to the MRA findings cerebrovascular reactivity was determined by determining the "breath hold index" -a (BHI) before and after surgical treatment. RESULTS: Incomplete Circle of Willis was found in 25% of asymptomatic, 47.5% of symptomatic patients with carotid artery disease, and 59% of the control group patients, where the difference proved to be statistically significant. In asymptomatic patients with incomplete Circle of Willis BHI values were 0.62 preoperatively and 1.01 postoperatively on the side of the lesion. In the case of incomplete Circle of Willis preoperative BHI values were 0.88 preopertively and 1.09 postoperatively in asymptomatic patients. The differences are shown to be statistically significant between the groups before and after surgical treatment. The increase was significantly more pronounced in the group of asymptomatic patients with incomplete Circle of Willis. There were not recorded major operative complications (perioeprativni stroke, mortality) and the occurrence hyperperfusion syndrome was most affected by completeness of the Circle of Willis, a value BHI and preoperative treatment of hypertension. CONCLUSIONS: Incomplete Circle of Willis is a risk factor for the occurrence of neurological symptoms or ischemic brain lesions in patients with extracranial carotid artery disease. In asymptomatic patients incomplete Circle of Willis affects the reduced cerebrovascular reactivity and a higher risk of stroke. The parameters of cerebrovascular reactivity significantly improved after surgical treatment.

Cap. 2 Com a finalidade de detectar possíveis diferenças na eficiência do processo de aprovisionamento e postura nas células de cria (POP), comparamos uma colônia monogínica e uma políginica em Melipona bicolor. Ao início das observações na colônia políginica, esta tinha três rainhas das quais uma deixou de ovipositar na metade do período de observações. Por isso separamos em duas partes a base de dados da colônia poligínica de acordo com o número de rainhas poedeiras, três ou duas. Observamos grandes diferenças entre as duas condições das colônias, a monogínica e a poligínica. Nosso estudo permitiu perceber como é a competição entre as rainhas em uma colônia poligínica. Neste tipo de colônia, as rainhas se “precipitavam” por ovipositar e como conseqüência os POPs eram muito mais curtos, diminuindo a postura de ovos tróficos. A rainha da colônia monogínica consumiu mais ovos tróficos e para conseguí-los, aumentava a duração do POP, especificamente a duração do processo de pós-aprovisionamento. O número de operárias em colônias poligínicas que participam do POP, tanto operculadoras quanto aprovisionadoras, também é maior. Isto pode refletir na eficiência do POP em colônias poligínicas: atrai um número maior de operárias que conseguem terminar o processo em menor tempo. Mas também reflete a competição entre as rainhas da colônia poligínica. Nesta, as rainhas estimulavam o POP em células que ainda não estavam com o colar pronto, dificultando seu fechamento pelas operárias. Como resultado da combinação de todos estes fatores, a produção total de ovos é maior na colônia políginica, embora cada rainha individualmente bote menos ovos na colônia poligínica do que a da colônia monogínica. Também detectamos um tipo de dominância, que se refletia no tempo que as rainhas demoravam em colocar seus ovos. Cap. 3 Para entender a poliginia, perguntou-se quais seriam as condições necessárias que levariam a uma associação estável de rainhas. A hipótese sobre “incentivos para permanecer” para as rainhas subordinadas, pode ser relevante para discutir o processo inverso testemunhado em uma colônia poligínica de Melipona bicolor que retornou à condição monogínica. Em nossa colônia poligínica, as três rainhas eram similares em vários aspectos. Não foram encontradas diferenças na competitividade na hora de ovipositar ou consumir ovos tróficos, nem discriminações por parte das operárias. Assim, cada rainha tinha igual oportunidade para pôr ovos ou se alimentar. As rainhas tinham idades semelhantes, e poder-se-ía esperar que o seu desempenho na produção de ovos fosse semelhante. Contudo, elas apresentaram uma clara desigualdade reprodutiva. Também ficou claro que a duração do processo de aprovisionamento e postura (POP) “per se”, revelou diferenças como um “marca-passo” das rainhas, especialmente quando estavam sozinhas nas células de cria. A presente investigação descreve possíveis relações entre a taxa de postura das rainhas e fatores nutricionais. Discute-se sobre a provável existência de um feromônio que regularia, nas operárias, o comportamento de fechamento das células. Também se acredita que as operárias possam ter um papel importante no contexto reprodutivo entre múltiplas rainhas. Estes fatores combinados, teriam incrementado as diferenças entre as rainhas, o que levou à interrupção de postura e ao desaparecimento do favo, de duas das rainhas. Cap. 4 Ao acompanhar individualmente as operárias da Melipona bicolor, em colônias monogínica e poligínica, encontramos que existem grandes variações no comportamento de cada uma, sendo que aqueles indivíduos que tinham colocado algum tipo de ovo apareciam como os mais interessados no processo de aprovisionamento e postura (POP). Ao dividir a população de operárias em poedeiras e não poedeiras, constatamos que aquelas que colocaram ovo trófico contribuem efetivamente ao POP, mas que as operárias reprodutivas, apesar de seu pequeno número, conseguem níveis de atividade tão altos que aparentemente excluem as não poedeiras do POP. Também encontramos indivíduos “especiais” por sua extraordinária participação em um ou mais dos comportamentos básicos que compõem o POP, mas estes também parecem movidos principalmente pelo drive de colocar algum tipo de ovo. Entretanto, também encontramos diferenças entre as colônias monogínica e poligínica, mas estas foram difíceis de analisar devido ao momento em que cada colônia começou a ser filmada. Os padrões gerais encontrados tanto para a colônia monogínica, como para a poligínica são muito importantes, pois demonstram que o fato de botar ou não ovos, provoca diferenças quantitativas de comportamento, produzindo desde indivíduos “preguiçosos” até aqueles “hiperativos”. Acreditamos que o desenvolvimento ovariano é a causa interna proximal que produz os diversos limiares de resposta individuais. Estes limiares produzem um efeito-cascata, já que a repetição da tarefa é reforçada no próprio indivíduo, e ao mesmo tempo, a atuação deste indivíduo afeta o repertório das outras operárias. A observação das diferenças apresentadas entre operárias poedeiras e não poedeiras, apresenta uma base muito firme para continuar na busca das causas proximais para tal diferenciação. Cap. 5 Os estudos da divisão do trabalho em insetos sociais demonstraram que embora a diferenciação de tarefas baseada na idade seria um fator importante, este mecanismo sozinho imporia uma rigidez nas sociedades que as conduziriam provavelmente à extinção. A plasticidade então é reconhecida como essencial, e a diferenciação entre indivíduos geneticamente similares deve existir. Contudo, a especialização nas tarefas de alguns indivíduos conduz a um melhor desempenho na colônia. Neste capítulo fornecemos evidências de que ocorre especialização no processo de aprovisionamento e postura (POP): poucos indivíduos “especiais” que apresentaram um repertório comportamental específico, e realizam a primeira regurgitação de alimento em Melipona bicolor. Cap. 6 A determinação de castas é um tema amplamente estudado, mas que continua deixando muitas questões a serem solucionadas. Contudo, compreendemos alguns fatos. Reconhece-se a influência de fatores externos como a quantidade e/ou a qualidade do alimento, atuando com hormônios e genes. Já que são as operárias as responsáveis pela administração da quantidade ou da qualidade do alimento, a determinação de castas é socialmente controlada e talvez, entre as aprovisionadoras, existam indivíduos que prefiram criar irmãs rainhas ao invés de irmãs operárias. Para esclarecer esta pergunta, há necessidade de estabelecer a presença ou ausência de secreções glandulares nutritivas no alimento larval, além de técnicas para examinar e acompanhar as operárias aprovisionadoras de alimento larval. Cap. 7 Nos insetos sociais, demonstrou-se que o grau de desenvolvimento dos ovários está correlacionado com relações de dominância, níveis de atividade e com a produção de hormônio juvenil. No epitélio folicular dos ovários, o hormônio juvenil estimula a absorção de nutrientes, mas ao mesmo tempo sabemos que a oogênese é um processo limitado pela disponibilidade de nutrientes. Estas são as causas e efeitos inter-relacionados na reprodução de um indivíduo. Uma das diferenças maiores entre as abelhas do gênero Apis e os meliponíneos, é que as abelhas sem ferrão conseguem desenvolver os ovários e reter a capacidade de botar ovos (embora comumente de natureza trófica) em colônias com rainha. As operárias jovens normalmente desenvolvem seus ovários, principalmente aquelas atendendo ao processo de aprovisionamento e postura (POP). As diversas tarefas relacionadas ao processo são realizadas com diferentes níveis de intensidade por cada indivíduo participando dele. Como demonstramos no capítulo quatro, as operárias que colocam ovos são os indivíduos mais envolvidos no POP contribuindo eficientemente ao processo. Quando em uma colônia monogínica de Melipona bicolor dissecamos as participantes do POP, revelamos que há uma correlação significativa entre a área dos ovários de cada indivíduo com o grau de atividade por ele apresentada. Já que os fatores nutricionais tem um papel importante no desenvolvimento dos ovários, nosso método de correlacionar o peso final com a atividade das abelhas, demonstrou ser adequado para testar indiretamente a influência do alimento na oogênesis. Neste capítulo discutimos o significado evolutivo de manter a capacidade de produzir ovos, em relação com a divisão de trabalho em insetos eussociais.
Cap. 2 In order to detect possible differences in the efficiency of the Provisioning and Oviposition Process (POP), we compared a monogynous from a polygynous colony of Melipona bicolor. At the beginning of observations, the polygynous colony had three laying queens, but one of these ceased to lay when observations where just at the middle. We then decided to split in two the database of the polygynous colony depending on the number of queens laying, being these three or two. ¶ We observed great differences between monogynous and polygynous conditions. In the polygynous colony, our investigation permitted us to perceive the strong competition between queens for laying. In this type of colony, queens were in a “rush” for laying their eggs. As a consequence, POP were very short and this diminished the number of trophic eggs laid. The queen of the monogynous colony consumed many more trophic eggs and in order to achieve this, she would increase the duration of the POP, specifically, the post-provisioning phase. In the polygynous colony, the number of workers, both dischargers and sealers were also greater than in the monogynous colony. This fact could be reflecting a more efficient process in polygynous conditions: more workers are attracted and complete the process in less time. However, again we may perceive the competition between the queens of this colony. The queens stimulated POP in cells that were still not ready, increasing the difficulty for its sealing by the workers. The total outcome of the combination of all these facts is that there is significant major production of queen eggs in the polygynous colony, although the number of eggs laid by each queen is smaller. We also detected a type of dominance reflected on the time queens spent laying their eggs. Cap. 3 There are hypotheses on which could be the necessary conditions that lead to stable multiple queen associations. Some hypothesis state mechanisms such as “staying incentives” for subordinated queens, and may be relevant for discussing the reversal process witnessed in a polygynous colony of Melipona bicolor that shifted to a monogynous condition. In a polygynous colony, three queens were similar in various aspects. Egg laying or consumption of trophic eggs, presented no differences or discriminations and each queen had an equal chance to lay or eat. The queens were of the same age, so it could be expected that they would have a similar performance in egg laying. However, a clear reproductive skew developed. It was also clear that the duration of the provisioning and oviposition process (POP), revealed differences in the pace-marking for the queens principally when alone. ¶ The present paper describes the possible relations between egg laying rate and nutritional factors. We discuss the possible existence of a queen pheromone, regulating the sealing behavior of the workers. Furthermore, workers might play a role in the contest for reproduction among multiple queens. In combination, these factors give rise to increasing differences among the queens resulting in egg laying cessation and disappearance of two of the queens from the comb. Cap. 4 When we followed individual workers of Melipona bicolor in monogynic and polygynic colonies, we found that there are great variations between the behaviors of each bee. Individuals that had laid some type of egg seemed to be the most interested in the provisioning and oviposition process (POP). Therefore, we then analyzed the population dividing them into layers and non layers. We proved that workers that lay trophic eggs contribute effectively to the POP, but reproductive workers, in spite of being so few, achieve such high levels of activity that it seems they exclude the non-laying bees from the process. We also found “special” individuals with an extraordinary participation in one or more of the basic behaviors of the POP, but these also seem to be motivated by the same drive of laying some type of egg. However, we also found differences between the monogynous and polygynous colonies, but these differences were difficult to analyze due to the filming moments for each colony. The general patterns found for both monogynous and polygynous colonies are very important because they demonstrate that the fact of laying an egg provokes quantitative differences in the behaviors, producing from “lazy” individuals up to those “hyperactive”. Ovary development is then thought to be the internal proximal cause producing the diverse response thresholds that in a cascade effect, produces an auto-reinforcement when repeatedly performed the task, that at the same time affects the performance of others. The observation on the differences presented by layers and non layers, represents a strudy base to continue exploring the proximal causes for behavioral differentiation. Cap.5 Studies on division of labor have demonstrated that despite being an important factor, etharism alone would impose rigidity to societies and thus, would make them less efficient probably leading them to extinction. Plasticity of behavior is then recognized as essential being expressed as individual differentiation among genetically similar sisters. Furthermore, task specialization of some individuals leads to a better performance of the colony as a whole. In this chapter we give evidence for specialization in the provisioning and oviposition process: a task such as the first discharge of food in Melipona bicolor, is carried out mainly by few, specialized individuals that exhibit a particular behavioral repertory. Cap. 6 Caste determination is a complex topic that has received much attention but remains elusive, leaving many questions to be solved. However, there are some facts that have been comprehended. It is recognized the influence of external factors such as the amount and/or the quality of the food ingested by the larvae, interacting with hormones and genes. Since the workers administrate the larval food, caste determination is socially controlled. Could it happen that among the nurse bees there are individuals that would prefer to raise sister queens than sister workers? To answer this question, it would be necessary to establish the presence or absence of glandular secretions of high nutritional value in the larval food, together with techniques to follow and assess the food dischargers. Through video recordings made on the Provisioning and Oviposition Process (POP) in Melipona bicolor, we recognized two types of food discharges: the first fluid and shiny and another discharge dense and opaque. From each cell filmed we compiled its historical plus the caste in formation. We did not find any relation between the resulting caste and the number of solid or liquid discharges it had received. We discuss why our method may not be an accurate technique to study this difficult and complex topic, but may support future investigations. Cap. 7 Ovary development in social insects has been found to be correlated with dominance relationships, levels of activity and production of juvenile hormone. In the follicular epithelium of ovaries, juvenile hormone stimulates the absorption of nutrients; however, oogenesis is a nutrient limited process. The above roughly summarizes the interrelated causes and effects involved in the reproduction of an individual. One of the biggest differences between Apis bees and stingless bees, is that in queenright conditions, stingless bee workers develop their ovaries retaining their capacity to lay eggs (although most are of a trophic nature). Ovary development is common among young bees attending the provisioning and oviposition process (POP). The several tasks that are involved in the POP are carried on with different levels of intensity by the individuals participating in the process. As we demonstrated in the previous chapter, the individuals that are egg layers are most involved in the POP contributing efficiently to the process. Dissections revealed that there is a significant correlation between the area of the ovaries and the levels of activity presented by the workers of a monogynouos colony of Melipona bicolor. Since nutritional factors also play an important role, our method of correlating the final weight of the bees with activity, proved to be adequate to indirectly test the influence of food in oogenesis. In this chapter we discuss the meaning of retaining the capacity to produce eggs in an evolutionary scenario related to division of labor in eusocial insects.

Various Christian societies utilize Genesis 2:24 as locus classicus for monogamy. A literary - historical approach has been followed in this study to show that Genesis 2:24 cannot serve as locus classicus for monogamy only. Monogamy is not the only acceptable marriage form for the Christian faith. Chapter one constitutes the introduction with the problem setting, objectives, method and hypothesis. The hypothesis of this study therefore states that Genesis 2:24 cannot serve as locus classicus for the legitimation of an exclusive monogamous marriage only. This text might also be applicable to poligamous marriage forms. Practical and sosio – cultural considerations influenced Israel and determined their marriage customs. Diachronical perspectives of polygamy are being given in chapter two. Examples from about 2000 BC until 1753 AC of various types of marriages and marriage customs have been investigated to depict the influence of Israel’s practical and socio – cultural circumstances. Socio - cultural influences and demands led to various types of marriages like the levirate, polygamy, endogamy and exogamy. These types of marriages that existed were primarily determined by the demands of social circumstances rather than religious prescriptions. Polygamy was an useful type of marriage to guarantee care, propagation and survival of the family. Chapter three consists of an analytical investigation of the meaning of Genesis 2:24. It’s meaning was investigated in various literary – and historical contexts. Genesis 2-3 is a narrative about the dependent, fallible and mortal man of the earth. Various important themes like death, relationships, social issues, guilt, suffering, punishment etcetera are evident in this narrative. From the analysis it seems that the author(s) / redactor(s) / Bearbeiter(s) of the text had a specific focus with this narrative. He called on man to bow before Yahweh, God of creation. The text especially focused on all people with power and authority. The narrative illustrates that man can never be God or be like God. The post – exilic author(s) / redactor(s) confirm with Genesis 2:4b-3:24 that man should stay humble before and dependant upon God. The text calls on people with power and authority to humble themselves before God. One of the narrative’s functions is to describe man’s hubris and to counter attitude and the hierarchy in various social structures. Genesis 2:24 is probably a later insertion by a redactor / Bearbeiter(s)Thesis (PhD (Old Testament Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2003.
