Theory that works
What makes a theory work? If there is an excellent example of a theory that works, then it is George Ritzer's McDonaldization thesis. Its success can be attributed to Ritzer's exploration of a different way of theorising that can be seen as consistent with his biography and lifestyle – perhaps a best practice model. As a result, the McDonaldization thesis is taken as an analytical scheme that has not only framed many innovative and relevant quest…
Afromontane forests and human impact after the African Humid Period
The SW highlands of Ethiopia are a key component in the evolution of modern humans. Yet, palaeoecological studies, essential to understand past human-vegetation relationships, are almost inexistent in this region. In this paper, we present an anthracological study of the Sodicho rock shelter, located at 1,930 m a.s.l. in the SW Ethiopian Afromontane forest zone, reconstructing the past woody vegetation since the end of the African Humid Period (c…
Ethnobotanical study of Burkea africana Hook. in the Reserves of Bontioli and the Classified Forest of Koulbi, Burkina Faso
Background: Burkea africana Hook. is one of the species exploited throughout Africa, particularly in south-western Burkina Faso. However, this species has not been investigated at a community level. The aim of the study is to evaluate the ecosystem services provided by B. africana to three communities located around two protected areas, which will allow for the identification of strengths and weaknesses that can guide local conservation. Methods:…
Intimacy and the Transformation of the Public Sphere
Intimacy and the public sphere have typically been conceptualized dichotomously both in scholarly and popular accounts. Problematizing this approach, I argue that considering 'intimacy' and 'public' solely as dichotomous entities unduly limits the scope of research on intimacy. In making this case, I interpret classic social theory from the works of Simmel and Habermas. Both accounts of transformations in modernity describe the emergence of a sph…
Traditional ecological knowledge-based assessment of threatened woody species and their potential substitutes in the Atakora mountain chain, a threatened hotspot of biodiversity in Northwestern Benin,…
BACKGROUND: Atakora mountains in Benin are a unique but fragile ecosystem, harboring many endemic plant species. The ecosystem is undergoing degradation, and the woody vegetation is dramatically declining due to high anthropogenic actions and recurrent drought. This study aimed to (i) assess the diversity of threatened woody species and (ii) identify their potential substitutes in the three regions of the Atakora mountains namely East Atakora, Ce…
Zur Einführung
Kese and Tellak
Using water for body treatments has an especially long tradition in many cultures and, is deeply intertwined with Roman and Ottoman culture. However, it is clear that today it is not possible to attribute bathing – not even a specific type of bathing, such as the hammam steam bath – to one particular culture (ignoring the obvious problems associated with trying to delineate clearly between such blurred constructs as a specific culture or as a dis…

Traditional plant use in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
The national-scale analysis revealed systematic patterns of traditional plant use throughout BFA. These results are of interest for applied research, as a detailed knowledge of traditional plant use can a) help to communicate conservation needs and b) facilitate future research on drug screening
Use of Ecosystem Services of Sarcocephalus latifolius (Sm.) E.A.Bruce and Induced Effect of Human Pressure on the Species in the Southwestern Region of Burkina Faso
People depend heavily on natural resources for their daily living. In the Sudanian zone of Africa characterized by high population growth and poverty incidence, there is a growing pressure on high value species such as Sarcocephalus latifolius (Sm.) E.A.Bruce. The objectives of this study were to evaluate its diverse uses and to highlight some practices which could affect its survival. The work was conducted in the southwestern region of Burkina …

Do protected areas really work to conserve species? A case study of three vulnerable woody species in the Sudanian zone of Burkina Faso
Local Values, Social Differentiation and Conservation Efforts
Impact of Future Climate and Land Use Change on Non-timber Forest Product Provision in Benin, West Africa
Zur Soziologie des Privaten. Einleitung
Wie gestalten Individuen in modernen Gesellschaften ihre sozialen Netzwerke und wie bahnen sie private Beziehungen an? Welche Rolle spielen Körper, Emotionen und Attraktivität in und außerhalb von Paarbeziehungen? Wie gestalten Subjekte ihr Sexualleben? Was bedeuten Geschlechtsnormen in Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit (Familie und Partnerschaft) in unterschiedlichen Sozialmilieus? Wie haben sich private Beziehungen durch die Nutzung neuer Kommunika…

Spiritual Care
These materials describe the professional, legal, relational, and theological roles of parish nurses, health care chaplains, and community clergy. It illustrates these roles by discussing two case studies of how these professionals can work together. It then provides examples of role violations for each profession and recommends some simple rules that will enable them to work together productively

Grenzen und Grenzüberschreitungen der Liebe
Die Thematik dieses Bandes greift den Sachverhalt auf, dass die Konstitution des Beziehungstyps "Liebesbeziehung" ein (Interaktions-) Spiel mit normativen Grenzen und deren Überschreitung voraussetzt. Hierdurch entstehen Ambivalenzen: Der Vorgang des Sichverliebens geht einerseits mit einer Transzendenz des Alltags und der Alltagserfahrung einher, die als Übergang, Konversion oder auch Statuspassage aufgefasst werden kann. Andererseits ist zu kon…

Women, Men, and the 'Second Shift' in Socialist Yugoslavia
The authors examine the 'second shift' in the former socialist Yugoslavia through the analysis of 1989-90 data from a random sample of 7,790 adults in the paid labor force. Despite working outside the home, women are primarily responsible for housework. Neither education, occupation, urbanization, nor participation in the informal economy has a significant effect in reducing this; only the presence of an older female in the household measurably r…
