Résumé :

Contemporary Samoan society is a reflection of a number of different cultures and influences. As a result of several attempts at colonisation by the British, German and New Zealand Administrations the cultural landscape of Samoa has been influenced by many different groups and peoples. As a result of integration and assimilation into the Samoan way of life the Chinese have been accepted into Samoan society and have contributed to the development of Samoan culture and identity. This thesis explores the history of the Chinese in Samoa as a method of uncovering the true extent of the influence pl

Résumé :

Apia, Western Samoa, has experienced a history since European contact which has been more significant and complex than the capital of a small, remote, island nation might expect. Moreover, the physical environment and indigenous politics have interacted with international political, economic and religious rivalry to produce a distinctive environmental heritage. Prior to partitioning in 1900, Samoa comprised three major islands: Savaii, Upolu and Tutuila with a total area of about 2,900 square kilometres. Apia is located on the north coast of Upolu, 14 degrees south of the equator and about 4,3

Résumé :

Les Samoa américaines sont un territoire du Pacifique associé aux Etats-Unis. L'histoire coloniale a conduit à de nombreuses transformations sociales. Pourtant quatre-vingt-dix pour cent des terres restent encore aux mains des familles étendues samoanes. En 1994, le gouvernement américain y établit un parc national. La majorité des espaces protégés étant la propriété des locaux, ils reçoivent un loyer de la part du parc mais continuent de vivre sur leurs terres familiales. Ma thèse porte sur l'étude de l'interaction entre cette aire protégée et les populations locales, et les possibles impacts

Résumé :

Male androphilia (i.e., male sexual attraction to males) is an evolutionary paradox. It is unclear how genes for male androphilia persist given that androphilic males have lowered reproduction? Evidence suggests that ancestral androphilic males were transgendered. Hence, I address this paradox by focusing on a group of Samoan transgendered androphilic males (i.e., fa’afafine). Specifically, I show that male androphilia has consistent developmental correlates across Samoan and Western populations, indicating that fa’afafine provide a suitable model for the evolution of male androphilia across p

Résumé :

Energy is critical to the economic growth and social development of any country. Samoa, as a least developing country, therefore needs to ensure that its energy demands are supplied for. However, such a demand has risen exponentially in the last few years forcing Samoa to rely heavily on costly imported fossil fuels such as diesel and petroleum. The motivation to undertake this research on Samoa is due to the fact that the price of fossil fuel products especially petrol and diesel among others, fluctuates as they are dictated by the market prices overseas.

Résumé :

The Kin Selection Hypothesis proposes that the genes associated with male androphilia (i.e., sexual attraction/arousal to adult males) may be maintained over evolutionary time if the fitness costs of not reproducing directly are offset by increasing one’s indirect fitness. Theoretically, this could be accomplished by allocating altruism toward kin which would increase the recipient’s ability to survive and reproduce. Evidence for this hypothesis has been garnered through research conducted in Samoa however, no support has been garnered from research conducted in more industrialized cultures (i

The human-environment relationship has often been characterized as one of human adaptation. This particular view has now come into questions as critiques have shown that the relationship is complex and dynamic. In archaeology, one way of examining this relationship is to study the settlement, subsistence, and land use of a given area. This thesis serves that purpose by providing a case study of a small island in the Samoan archipelago in the central Pacific.

One of the functions of TLR proteins is to recognize the presence of bacteria via identification of bacterial flagella. My evaluation of a Samoan family identified a

Résumé :

This project is an exploration of the endless negotiation of the va, the relationships that consistently define and redefine themselves in the space between two cultures. The va consists of relationships between people and things, unspoken expectations and obligations: the inherent and changeable patterns, of obligations and expectations between people and their environment. The va space can be viewed as the stage upon which all patterns and motifs carry meaning. How the patterns and motifs change meanings are subject to other elements in the va. Meaning in my work will evoke the interweaving

Résumé :

The overall objective of this study is, to understand how the prehistoric individual experienced her “being in the world”. This is done by examining the spatial relationships of prehistoric remains in order to understand hierarchies. The foundation of the thesis is constructed by using data from the prehistoric settlement of Letolo in Samoa (Independent State of Samoa) in West-Polynesia and Hanga Ho´onu on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in East-Polynesia. These data are stored and analysed in a Geographical Information System (GIS). In the Samoan case the intention is to make previously unpublished

The evolution of Polynesia's complex chiefly systems is a long standing issue in anthropology, and prior archaeological research has identified that specialized goods were a significant factor in the elevation of elite status in many Polynesian contexts. Before Western contact, Samoa was a stratified chief

Résumé :

Western Samoa is one of the most vulnerable countries from climate changes due to its geographic location, and as agriculture is a main industry on the island, this sector is vulnerable to different risks such as tropical cyclones, heavy rainfall or droughts. Samoa could in theory be self-sufficient, but imports large quantities of processed foods which is affecting the health of the population in a negative way. The purpose of the thesis is to create an understanding of how the development of indigenous agriculture in Samoa can lead to increasing efficiency and sustainability and a decrease o
