The Bowed Lyre of Estonia's Swedes
Once played across Northern Europe in the Middle Ages, as early as the Viking Era, the bowed lyre has survived in an unbroken tradition in the Baltic region. The traditional playing method uses a loosely strung bow to stroke drone and melody strings simultaneously, while pressing the latter with knuckles or fingernails through a handhole. Iconographic, archeological, and ethnographic evidence points to the likely derivation of the bowed lyre from…
Rahvapillipärandi säilitamine Eestis ja välismaal
By the middle of the 20th century, old folk musical instruments had disappeared from Estonian culture. Musicians played modern internationally widespread instruments, especially the accordion and the guitar. The article discusses the return of old folk musical instruments, especially the Estonian kannel (plucked Baltic psaltery), bagpipe, and bowed lyre. The revival of these traditions has been more marked in Estonia, due to the contribution from…
Repeated Strains, Social Control, Social Learning, and Delinquency
In Agnew's general strain theory, repeated strains can generate crime and delinquency by reducing social control and fostering social learning of crime. Using a sample of 615 middle- and high-school students in China, this study examines how social control and social learning variables mediate the effect of repeated strains in school and at home on delinquency. The findings from an integrated model support Agnew's mediating argument in a non-West…
Social Change, Life Strain, and Delinquency among Chinese Urban Adolescents
Using Agnew's general strain theory (1992, 2006) as a theoretical framework, this study examines how China's ongoing social transformation has affected its youth, particularly in urban areas, and how general strain theory can be fruitfully applied to account for the country's rising rate of juvenile delinquency In particular, we analyze how the sources of strain, at both societal and individual levels, have led to a higher level of interpersonal …
Life Strain, Negative Emotions, and Delinquency
Using a sample of 615 middle school and high school students from both rural and urban areas of the People’s Republic of China, this study tests the central hypotheses concerning the mediating model in Agnew’s general strain theory. The analyses focus on the intervening mechanisms of negative emotions such as anger, resentment, anxiety, and depression that connect exposure to interpersonal strain with delinquent outcomes, including both serious d…
Echoes Of Ancient Cataclysms In The Baltic Sea
The observation that human societies are shaped by the natural environment appears in the earliest treatises on cultural diversity. Scholars have focused their attention on the ordinary conditions of the environment (weather patterns, topography, natural resources, and other enduring features) or on recurrent events in an area (earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc.), when trying to account for local inhabitants’ distinctive customs and beliefs. Yet…
Intercultural contact and the evolution of the Baltic psaltery
The kannel's importance as a symbol of Estonian heritage has discouraged exploration of its origin in links with other cultures. The ancient Northern European lyre (especially a Germanic or Slavic type) is a likely source of inspiration for this instrument and nearby peoples' own versions of the Baltic psaltery. Archeological finds, manuscript illustrations, and ethnographic museum specimens from various countries are examined for clues to the pr…
Non-violence in ethnic relations in Estonia
The Soviet Union's collapse left in its wake many vexing problems, of which few have attracted as much attention as the tensions between nationalities. The Baltic republics were in the forefront of efforts to win independence from Moscow and enact reforms. Due to this vanguard role, accessibility to visitors, and links with exiles in Western lands, the Baltic countries' handling of the nationalities problem after regaining independence has attrac…

Suburbanizing the City
Urban planners and city officials have considered various strategies to lure the middle class back to the central city — including urban renewal programs and historic preservation. A neglected alternative is to build suburban style housing downtown. Residents of a ranch-style condominium development in downtown Indianapolis were asked about their backgrounds, reasons for moving, and reactions to their new neighborhood. The results were compared w…
Social Bases of Support for Workplace Democracy
Little research has been done to verify speculations about reasons for the upsurge of interest in workplace democracy in recent years. This study analyzes personal interview and mail survey data from workers in Gothenburg in 1977 and 1980, to discover what differentiates advocates and opponents of the idea. Although different categories of workers appeared basically like-minded about the effects of Sweden's new Codetermination Law, opinions on fu…

Whose Neighborhood
This report considers who is involved in urban revitalization, why some neighborhoods are more quickly revived than others, and whether participation by longtime residents in renovation of historic areas is feasible. Surveys of two preservation districts in Indianapolis revealed that recent in-migrants are in a stronger position than longtime residents to influence the revitalization process. Although incumbent homeowners are willing to join rest…

The Effect of Unemployment Duration on National Suicide Rates
The relationship between unemployment and suicide in the United States is examined. Data for the period 1948 to 1978, primarily from the U.S. Public Health Service, are used to examine the effect of the duration of unemployment on suicide. "The results of a Cochrane-Orcutt iterative regression analysis indicate that the greater the duration of unemployment the greater the suicide rate. Using ex post forecasting techniques it is estimated that inc…
Economic Development and Strikes
Theorists of class conflict have debated the nature of the relationship between economic development and the incidence of strikes. The liberal perspective contends that such developments as the growth in size of corporations and the separation of ownership from control enable modern management to institutionalize industrial conflict in the form of collective bargaining. In contrast, writers in the radical perspective argue that conflict will incr…
