INTRODUCTION Murdock and White, in a rapprochement between modern cross-cultural and statistical methods (Murdock) and more nuanced approaches of the Columbia historical school (White), published the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample in 1969 as the basis for a coded, collaborative, and cumulative comparative data base, extracted from ethnographic research on 186 societies, for use by scholars engaged in cross-cultural studies. White (1968) had shown that previous cross-cultural samples had so little overlap that it was fruitless to test hypotheses comparing variables from different studies. Murdock (1967, 1968) had classified the 1,267 societies in his Ethnographic Atlas into 200 distinctive world cultural provinces. From these they evaluated the literature and chose the best and preferably earliest described representatives for the SCCS. The idea behind the sample was to allow any and all theories that could be tested with comparative data to have a level and historically nuanced playing field on which to compete. The sample was designed to be sufficiently large to test multivariate hypotheses, sufficiently small to allow different investigators to code all the cases and so contribute to a cumulative database, and pinpointed to specific communities and times (White and Murdock 2006), for which bibliographic recommendations for ethnographic sources (White 1986) were classified by focus and pertinence. The goal of the SCCS was to represent the cultural diversity of well-described human societies. The sample ranges from contemporary hunter gatherers such as the !Kung, to early historic states (e.g., the Romans; Khmer), to peoples of the industrial period (e.g., an Irish village; a Russian commune), with a wide swath of representative ethnography on all types of societies. Raoul Naroll’s (1962, 1965) tests and recommendations for data quality controls (see Whyte 1978b), and for solutions to Galton’s problem of nonindependent cases were adopted in the original design.

Representative of the Province and of Cluster 3: Nama Hottentot (Naman, Namaqeua) Focus: Gei//Khauan tribe (17°E, 23°30's) as reconstructed for about 1860 (45 years prior to the field work of Schultze, the principal ethnographer), with cautious use of data from its offshoot, the //Khau/Goan (studied by Hoernle on 1912 and 1923). General Area: Of the eight tribal groups indigenous to the Great Namaqua homeland at the time of Schultze's study (1903-06), two were extinct (the //Haboben and //0 Gein) and one was scattered (the !Kara-!Oan), and the remaining five had fled or been forced to choose sides in the German-Hottentot war. The senior group (the Gei//Khauan), the focus, were reduced in population form about 2,500 to 100 by the war and were settled in a small reserve. An offshoot from them (the //Khau/Goan) had been evicted form the central territory by the Herero in 1860 and occupied a northern encampment relatively isolated form the war. Another (the //Aunin) had settled along the Kuisib River, adopting an atypical life based on fishing and growing of nara melons. Another (the !Gama/Num) had settled along a major highway and become assimilated into the surrounding population. The last of these five (the !Kara Gei Khoin) escaped into the British -controlled Kalahari and were never contacted by ethnographers. Selection of Focus: The Gei//Khauan were studied by Schultze through informants, and his description is largely a reconstruction of their earlier culture. Hoernle also used several Gei//Khauan informants, but her data pertain mainly to the offshoot //Khau/Goan, among whom the clan system was still functioning when she visited them. Data from other groups than these two should be used only when a wide distribution of traits can be inferred. Time: The date of 1860 is selected as the last year in which the Gei//Khauan collected tribute from other groups and as the date of the Herero war, after which the //Khau/Goan fled to the north as refugees. Coordinates: Theses listed above (under Focus) represent the location of Rehoboth, the early town site of the Gei//Khauan as shown by Schapera and as indicated by Hoernle as their former location. Hoernle's map, however, shows the Gei//Khauan somewhat to the east at the town of Hoachanas (c.18°E, 24°10's), whence they had presumably moved after the German-Hottentot war. 3 3 World Cultures eJournal, 17(1), Article 1 (2009) ==== <Pinpt002> Standard Sample Unit 2 (GPM 5/30/68) Sampling Province 2: Bushmen. Representative of the Province and of Cluster 2: Kung Bushmen (!Kung), Aa1:1. Focus: Kung of the Nyae region (20-21°E, 19°30'-20°30's), presumably identical with the Agau of Schapera, as of 1950 (the first year of the field work by the Marshalls). General Area: Schapera (1930: 33) lists four major groupings of Kung Bushmen: (1) the Agau, southeast of Karakuwisa and hence in the Nyae Nyae region; (2) the !Ogowe of the lower Omuramba Omatako, north of Karakuwisa and thus about 50 miles north of the Nyae Nyae region; (3) the Nogau of Karakuwisa and the upper Omuramba Omataka, i.e., just north of the Nyae Nyae region (Marshall's map shows a group called //No!Gau in the southeast corner); and (4) the ≠Kangau far to the north of the Nyae Nyae region along the Okavango River. The population of the Nyae Nyae region in 1953 was about 3,500. Selection of Focus: The Kung of the Nyae Nyae region are chosen because of the quality of Lorna Marshall's work. She notes (Marshall 1960:328) that there were 27 intermarrying bands in this region, for most of which a head count was obtained. Two central bands (Gautsa) at the Gautscha Pan waterhole were the most fully studied, but full genealogies were also obtained for two adjacent bands (the Kautsa and Deboragu), as well as additional data on ten others (Marshall 1959:336). Though the Gautsa bands form the core of the region, data on the others may be used in default of specific evidence of cultural differences. And Agua Kung are presumably identical, to judge from the frequency with which Nyae Nyae band leaders are called ≠Gau, Gao, or Agau, as well as because the identity of their location. The work of the Marshalls may thus be supplemented from earlier data on the Agau. Isolation, intermarriage, and lack of acculturation justify using the Nyae Nyae region as a whole, rather than the Gautsa bands alone, as the focus. Time: The data of 1950 is selected as the year when the Marshalls began their field work (1950-55). Richard Lee of Harvard is currently engaged (1967-68) in his second period of field work among a nearby Kung group. Coordinates: The Gautsa bands are pinpointed by Marshall at 19°48'3"S, 20°, 34'36"E, but the wider range indicated under Focus will be used unless specifically contraindicated. Data pertaining to bands outside this core area should be used only with appropriate caution. 4 4 White: Pinpointing Sheets for the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample: Complete Edition ==== <Pinpt003> Standard Sample Unit 3 (GPM 5/30/68) Sampling Province 3: Southeastern Bantu.

NUMBER 1707 FEBRUARY 1 9, 1955 Notes on the Birds of Northern Melanesia. 31 Passeres BY ERNST MAYR The present paper continues the revisions of birds from northern Melanesia and is devoted to the Order Passeres. The literature on the birds of this area is excessively scattered, and one of the functions of this review paper is to provide bibliographic references to recent litera- ture of the various species, in order to make it more readily available to new students. Another object of this paper, as of the previous install- ments of this series, is to indicate intraspecific trends of geographic varia- tion in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands and to state for each species from where it colonized northern Melanesia. Such in- formation is recorded in preparation of an eventual zoogeographic and evolutionary analysis of the bird fauna of the area. For those who are interested in specific islands, the following re- gional bibliography (covering only the more recent literature) may be of interest: BISMARCK ARCHIPELAGO Reichenow, 1899, Mitt.

Over the last decade, the growth of telecom infrastructure has become closely linked with the economic development of a country, especially the development of rural and remote areas. The challenge for developing countries is to ensure that telecommunication services, and the resulting benefits of economic, social and cultural development which these services promote, are extended effectively and efficiently throughout the rural and remote areas - those areas which in the past have often been disadvantaged, with few or no telecommunication services. 1.2. The Role of telecommunication connectivity is vital for delivery of e- Governance services at the doorstep of citizens, promotion of tourism in an area, educational development in terms of tele-education, in health care in terms of telemedicine facilities. In respect of safety and security too telecommunication connectivity plays a vital role.

A hospital-based case-control study of viral encephalitis was carried out at Port Dickson Hospital, in the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Between March and May 1999, 69 clinically diagnosed viral encephalitis cases and 31 controls were interviewed. Job histories on pig farming activities were assessed by a group of epidemiologists and veterinary surgeons. Results show that among clinical cases of viral encephalitis, 52 (75.4%) cases were diagnosed to have Nipah virus infection based on positive serology for antibodies to the cross-reacting Hendra virus antigen. The Nipah virus encephalitis was significantly associated with a history of working in pig farms (p < 0.001, OR = 196.0, 95% CI = 20.4 - 4741.6), history of contact with animals (p < 0.001, OR = 38.3, 95% CI = 8.2 - 209.0) and with history of direct contact with pigs (p = 0.002, OR = 34.4, 95% CI = 2.6 - 1,024.4). The Nipah virus infection was also significantly associated with history of feeding/cleaning pigs (p < 0.001, OR = 102, 95% CI = 11.9 - 2,271.5).
