Zur eisernen Fibel vom Spätlatèneschema aus der Siedlung von Kruhlyk (obl. Tscherniwzi, UA)
Building on the older discovery of a brooch from the Late Ice Age settlement of Kruhlyk and a more recent interpretation of the same, this article focuses on the distribution of brooches from the Kostrzewski K var. It has been shown that this brooch has interesting potential for the interpretation of the Poienești-Lucașeuca culture. It connects the region of the Poienești-Lucașeuca culture with Central Europe and thus joins a whole series of meta…
Breaking Good? Managerial Practices in Nonprofits
Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) are often torn between calls to remain “distinctive” and pressures to adopt managerial, professional, and market-oriented practices. Early scholarship emphasized the risks of such practices, warning of mission drift, bureaucratization, and the erosion of civic and democratic functions. This article reviews and synthesizes three decades of research, tracing how concerns about business-like logics evolved into a more …
Beyond cemeteries – excavation of a settlement of Poieneşti-Lucaşeuca Culture in Ivancea, Republic of Moldova
The Poieneşti-Lucaşeuca-culture (late 3 rd to second half of the 1 st century BC), which is distributed in the forest steppe between the east Carpathian Mountains and the river Dniestr, is seen as the result of an immigration of groups from the Jastorf area in North-East Germany. This concept is based on cemeteries: both the form of the grave4s and their material culture (ceramics, jewellery, costume) are foreign in the area, but show clear conne…
Let us be Clear
Transparency means being honest and open about one’s practices. Transparency is considered a gold standard in the nonprofit sector and associated with a range of positive outcomes. We propose that transparency should also become a guiding principle and documented practice for nonprofit scholars. In this article, we articulate the context for discussing transparency in social science research and the potential risks of not being transparent. Ackno…
Integrating Geomorphology, Geology, and Geochemical Parameters to Understand the Preservation Status and Spatial Distribution of Archaeological Iron Objects Related to the 235 ce Roman–Germanic Harzho…
With more than 2000 excavated archaeological iron artifacts, the Roman–Germanic conflict site Harzhorn is among the best‐preserved battlefields from Classical Antiquity. The Harzhorn hogback, with its steep front face oriented to the north, is situated perpendicular to an important north–south passage west of the Harz Mountains in central Germany. The geological setting shows abrupt transitions at the surface between different Triassic and Quater…

Polizeiarbeit mit psychisch belasteten Personen
Das ethnographische Forschungsprojekt widmet sich dem polizeilichen Umgang mit psychisch belasteten Personen, der im Schweizer Kontext bisher kaum untersucht wurde. Die empirischen Befunde der vorliegenden internationalen Studien vermitteln ein unklares und ambivalentes Bild. Insbesondere wissen wir immer noch wenig darüber, wie solche Begegnungen vor Ort ablaufen und wie Polizist*innen Personen mit psychischen Belastungen in ihrer täglichen Arbe…

From controversy to common ground
Once a concept of the radical environmentalist movement, the term sustainability was incorporated into the hegemonic discourse. Prior research argues that this occurred through a process in which the original controversy between ecological and economic issues has evolved from an antagonist opposition to a broad concurrence. While this development has mainly been analysed qualitatively, we apply quantitative analysis of mass media in Austria betwe…
Collaborative governance in Social Impact Bonds
Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) are a novel form of cross-sector collaborations and an alternative way of financing innovative social services. Based on an in-depth longitudinal case analysis and drawing from agency theory as well as resource dependence theory, we examine the process of interest alignment among involved partners over the lifespan of a SIB pilot project in Austria. Our study shows the multitude of problems and costs that such a challen…

Toward a Better Understanding of Social Origins Theory
Social origins theory explains variation between civil societies by power relations between socioeconomic classes and by path dependencies. There have been few systematic reflections on which dimensions of civil society depend on these factors and can thus be explained by the theory. With the help of a historical narrative of the eventful history of Vienna’s civil society, in which traditional, liberal, social democratic, statist, and corporatist…
Prahistorische und antike Kampfplatze als archaologische Quelle
Die sogenannte ‚Schlachtfeldarchäologie‘ ist – nach Anfängen seit den 1910er Jahren und einem ersten Höhepunkt in den 80er und 90er Jahren –mittlerweile eine eigene Forschungsrichtung innerhalb der Archäologie geworden, die über immer mehr Erfahrungen im Umgang mit diesen ungewöhnlichen Fundplätzen verfügt. Sie erforscht Fundplätze von der Steinzeit bis in die Zeitgeschichte und leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur frühen Entwicklung von Krieg und…

Research Handbook on Nonprofit Governance
Civil society organizations (CSOs) are important actors in the European Union’s multilevel governance system. This chapter analyses CSOs’ multilevel governance actions in relation to their advocacy and service delivery activities, including triangulation between civil society groups in member states and the EU level and engagement in multiple forms of political mobilization. The chapter argues that each of these activities characterizes a particu…
Partnership in Times of Covid-19
How did the relation between Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and government develop during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, once governments had taken restrictive measures to lock down economic and public life? Austria is used as an example of a corporatist welfare state whereby collaboration between government and CSOs occurs particularly in the fields of social services, health-care, and youth. Our analysis focuses on the social se…
Who Is in Charge? Social Inequality in Different Fields of Volunteering
Volunteering in civil society organizations (CSOs) is sometimes idealized as welcoming arena for everybody. Prior research, however, has shown that participation in volunteer work depends on gender, wealth, education, and social networks, suggesting that CSOs are not in fact open to everyone. Inequality within different fields of volunteering combined with the factors that put actors into more powerful positions has rarely been scrutinized. Besid…
I.2. La coopération franco-allemande dans le domaine de la Judenpolitik , 1940-1942
The reaction of the French and the country’s administration to the German occupation during WWII is too often reduced to either collaboration or resistance. However, recent Holocaust research has shown that European societies both contributed to and benefited from the persecution of Jews without necessarily being pro-German. By focusing on France, Michael Mayer demonstrates that the German concept of occupation was based on the fact that Germany …

Managerialism and Beyond
Different disciplinary, theoretical, and empirical lenses have contributed to a kaleidoscopic picture of the governance of civil society organizations (CSOs). Most of the time, CSO governance is contrasted with corporate governance in business organizations; only rarely is the broad variety of CSOs taken into account. To widen this perspective, we develop an empirically grounded typology of five discourses of organization in CSOs: managerialist, …
Forms of capital, intra-ethnic variation and Polish entrepreneurs in Leicester
A study of ten Polish entrepreneurs operating in Leicester, UK is reported in this article. The concepts of social, cultural and economic capital are used as the lens through which to explore the way the capital they access is employed and converted into entrepreneurial activity. Ethnic entrepreneurship takes place within wider social, political and economic institutional frameworks and opportunity structures and so this is taken into account by …
In Search of Legitimacy
In this article, we investigate the changes in the legitimating accounts used by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), in the context of spreading managerialism—one of the most powerful institutional practices of our time—in the Third Sector. We first introduce the concepts of legitimacy and legitimating account, before showing how managerialism manifests itself in CSOs and presenting three managerialist accounts used to legitimate such organizatio…
Police work and new ‘security devices’
Mobile technologies have brought about major changes in police equipment and police work. If a utopian narrative remains strongly linked to the adoption of new technologies, often formulated as ‘magic bullets’ to real occupational problems, there are important tensions between their ‘imagined’ outcomes and the (unexpected) effects that accompany their daily ‘practical’ use by police officers. This article offers an analysis of police officers’ pe…

Organizing the Unexpected
The capability of organizations to respond to unexpected events has been investigated from different theoretical angles: organizational learning, improvisation, ambidexterity, resilience, to name but a few. These concepts, however, hardly ever refer to structural characteristics. Against this backdrop, the aim of this paper is twofold. First, based on systems and organizational learning theory, it will theoretically link the characteristics of or…
Civil Society and Its Institutional Context in CEE
Although civil societies in Central and Eastern Europe are often portrayed as similar, united by a shared communist past, they have developed along increasingly divergent trajectories over the past three decades. This article investigates the current state of civil society in the region and the role the institutional context plays in it. Drawing on historical institutionalism and the process of European integration, we classify the 14 countries u…
Le travail des images dans la démarche de recherche. Analyse réflexive et compréhension de l’objet
Produire et/ou utiliser des images dans les démarches de recherche sur les mondes du travail sont des techniques d’enquête qui se développent dans le champ des sciences sociales. Embrayant le pas des travaux américains en visual sociology, ces dernières années ont vu se multiplier en Europe et en France les initiatives académiques visant à discuter de l'intérêt des « méthodes visuelles » : colloques (Géhin et Stevens, 2012), numéros spéciaux de r…

Post-Last Glacial Maximum settlement of the West Angelas region in the inland Hamersley Plateau, Western Australia
An excavation and survey program at West Angelas, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, shows that the poorly watered interior area of the Hamersley Plateau was first occupied soon after the conclusion of the Last Glacial Maximum, and that significant use of this area probably only occurred during the mid to late Holocene. Although current archaeological research shows that Aboriginal groups have occupied areas of the Hamersley Plateau for …
Entre ambition ' tout-terrain ' et impossible ubiquité
La pratique ethnographique est marquée par l’implication des chercheur·e·s et le partage d’un lieu avec des enqueté·e·s, pendant une durée prolongée. Cette manière de faire du terrain, en sciences sociales, est aujourd’hui questionnée par certaines transformations de la méthode, enrichie par les interrogations sur le rôle de l’ethnographe, la délimitation spatiale et temporelle de son travail, ou encore sur les conséquences sociales et politiques…

Membership and Participation
Citizens' engagement in civil society appears in various forms. Membership in civil society organizations and political engagement have been analytically identified as two major forms, among other forms such as volunteering, donating money, and informal participation, based on European Social Survey data from 2002. In this paper, we analyse the relationship between formal membership and political engagement. Does formal membership contribute posi…
The importance of the International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent to National Societies
The International Conference is based in particular on the long-established National Society auxiliary role and partnership with States. The importance of the Conference is clear from the Movement's Statutes. In practice, not all National Societies have taken full advantage of the opportunities provided by the International Conference for interaction and relationship-building with their own authorities. Practical ways are suggested to help Nation…

The Nazi Musicologist as Myth Maker in the Third Reich
In view of the continuing interest in Nazi affairs, in the relationship of ideology to totalitarian government and in the effects of this totalitarian state on various aspects of German life, it is extraordinary that, to date, no comprehensive analysis has been written on the impact of National Socialism on the outstanding manifestation of German cultural achievement in moder times, German music.

Vol d'images, images en vol. L'intermédialité et l'imitation au secours des superhéros
L’invention du genre « superhéros » est liée au développement des comic books , forme spécifique de la bande dessinée américaine, à la fin des années 1930. Cependant, cette nouveauté suppose la cristallisation et la réinvention d’un vaste ensemble de codes visuels qui dépasse largement son support principal. Parti d’images spécifiques, nous ne pouvons qu’aboutir à l’exploration d’un univers visuel multiple et intermédiatique. Sans cela, l’étude d…
Thoreau and Black Emigration
HOREAU 's hatred of slavery was as unqualified as his prose was forthright. Throughout his writings are allusions, passages, and whole essays insisting upon absolute moral necessity of ending slavery in United States. Because Thoreau chose moral truth over political expediency, what concerned him was not how slavery was to be ended but that it be ended immediately. What wanted, he demanded, is men, not of policy, but of who care more for justice …

Aging and immunity in nonhuman primates
Immunity declines with advancing age. Lymphocyte proliferation, natural killer cell activity, and antibody response to tetanus toxoid vaccination were evaluated in cohorts of rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta ) aged 2–36 years in order to characterize senescent changes in immune function. The results were analyzed in accordance with host age. Lymphocyte proliferation was generally low in older monkeys, especially males. Lymphocytes from old male mo…
