Cadbury Research Library: Special Collections Preliminary listing of the Save the Children Fund Archive (SCF) PRELIMINARY LISTING OF THOSE SECTIONS OF THE SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND ARCHIVE WHICH ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR RESEARCH ACCESS (August 2017) Researchers are asked to contact Cadbury Research Library: Special Collections, University of Birmingham in advance of their visit to request material from this list. Email to: special- [email protected] (Notice is not required for viewing material from the EJ sequence of papers, the council and committee minutes or the publications.) Please note that those box numbers highlighted in red have not been transferred to Cadbury Research Library: Special Collections by Save the Children Fund (SCF). This material is now only available on microfilm. This list only represents a proportion of the Save the Children Fund archive. It is largely based on material which was previously published by SCF through the commercial company ‘Primary Source Microfilms’, in its microfilm series ‘Western Aid and the Global Economy’. The microfilm project concentrated on archive material dated before 1972 and 101 reels of film were produced in total. The full set of films is available at the Cadbury Research Library (all but reels 19 & 21 which are hopefully to be acquired), the John Rylands Library, University of Manchester and possibly at other large research libraries. The list below gives details of the original records and their microfilm reel copies which are currently available to view by personal visit to the Cadbury Research Library: Special Collections. Please note that researchers are asked to view records which have been microfilmed on microfilm in the first instance, to help cut down on wear to the originals records. As will be evident from consulting the list, archive material up to 1972 only is open for access by researchers, though general publications later than this date are also open. Requests about access to archive material post 1972 can be made to SCF; permission has been granted to researchers after consideration on a case-by-case basis – see advice on our website at this link: http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/facilities/cadbury/membership/avonpapers.aspx Detailed cataloguing work on the archive is under way and this list will be updated as reference numbers are amended, the archive classified and more material is made available for research. All catalogued material will be appearing on the online catalogue as sections of the catalogue are completed. Entries on the online catalogue will include a note on whether items are open for consultation, or closed (in which case researchers may contact SCF to seek permission to consult, as noted above).

    The Production of Lexical Tone in Croatian

    The production of lexical tone in Croatian Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie im Fachbereich Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaften der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität zu Frankfurt am Main vorgelegt von Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina aus Kiew 2018 (Einreichungsjahr) 2019 (Erscheinungsjahr) 1. Gutacher: Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 01.11.2018 ABSTRACT Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina: The production of lexical tone in Croatian (Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz and Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder) This dissertation is an investigation of pitch accent, or lexical tone, in standard Croatian. The first chapter presents an in-depth overview of the history of the Croatian language, its relationship to Serbo-Croatian, its dialect groups and pronunciation variants, and general phonology. The second chapter explains the difference between various types of prosodic prominence and describes systems of pitch accent in various languages from different parts of the world: Yucatec Maya, Lithuanian and Limburgian. Following is a detailed account of the history of tone in Serbo-Croatian and Croatian, the specifics of its tonal system, intonational phonology and finally, a review of the most prominent phonetic investigations of tone in that language. The focal point of this dissertation is a production experiment, in which ten native speakers of Croatian from the region of Slavonia were recorded. The material recorded included a diverse selection of monosyllabic, bisyllabic, trisyllabic and quadrisyllabic words, containing all four accents of standard Croatian: short falling, long falling, short rising and long rising. Each target word was spoken in initial, medial and final positions of natural Croatian sentences.

    The Ethno-Cultural Belongingness of Aromanians, Vlachs, Catholics, and Lipovans/Old Believers in Romania and Bulgaria (1990–2012)

    CULTURĂ ŞI IDENTITATE NAŢIONALĂ THE ETHNO-CULTURAL BELONGINGNESS OF AROMANIANS, VLACHS, CATHOLICS, AND LIPOVANS/OLD BELIEVERS IN ROMANIA AND BULGARIA (1990–2012) MARIN CONSTANTIN∗ ABSTRACT This study is conceived as a historical and ethnographic contextualization of ethno-linguistic groups in contemporary Southeastern Europe, with a comparative approach of several transborder communities from Romania and Bulgaria (Aromanians, Catholics, Lipovans/Old Believers, and Vlachs), between 1990 and 2012. I am mainly interested in (1) presenting the ethno-demographic situation and geographic distribution of ethnic groups in Romania and Bulgaria, (2) repertorying the cultural traits characteristic for homonymous ethnic groups in the two countries, and (3) synthesizing the theoretical data of current anthropological literature on the ethno-cultural variability in Southeastern Europe. In essence, my methodology compares the ethno-demographic evolution in Romania and Bulgaria (192–2011), within the legislative framework of the two countries, to map afterward the distribution of ethnic groups across Romanian and Bulgarian regions. It is on such a ground that the ethnic characters will next be interpreted as either homologous between ethno-linguistic communities bearing identical or similar ethnonyms in both countries, or as interethnic analogies due to migration, coexistence, and acculturation among the same groups, while living in common or neighboring geographical areas. Keywords: ethnic characters, ethno-linguistic communities, cultural belongingness,

The blockade has received modest attention in the historiography of the First World War, despite the assertion in the British official history that extreme privation and hunger resulted in more than 750,000 German civilian deaths.

Year III, Vol. 4 Scientific polemics pp. 121-141 Momčilo Subotić1 Institute for Political Studies, Belgrade The Renewal of Serbistics Introduction It is known, from the researches conducted by many public opinion agencies, that most Serbs and other citizens of Serbia are inclined to- wards Serbia’s accession to the European Union. However, things have gone a step backwards today compared to the nineties; no one in the Serbian politics, or in the key national institutions, such as the SANU (Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts), Matica srpska and others, is even trying to conduct the analyses of Serbian defeats, to face the wrong ideas of Yugoslavism and Yugoslav politics and state. Without scientifically based and critical analyses of the status of Serbian nation and its state’s state constituencies, no further European integrations are possible. In other words, until the time when the Serbian political and intellectual leadership is finished with the Yugoslav era of its history, and realize and correct all the historical forgeries and counterfeits it was based on, the European integrations on an equal basis and by Eu- ropean standards will not happen. It is likely that the Serbian leader- ship, for the umpteenth time in the recent history, cannot overcome the excess history which, in the Balkan’s „barrel of gun-powder“ has always been too much. The Serbs have to answer the question of what happened to the Ser- bian national identity in the Yugoslav state to themselves first; do the European standards for entering „the family“ of the European nations, based on the linguistic definition of a nation, also stand for the Serbian people, being multi-confessional such as some other European nations (Germans, Hungarians, Аlbanians etc.).

    Towards a UN Convention on the Rights of the Child

    Towards a UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 1923 Eglantyne Jebb, founder of Save the Children, drafts the five points of the first Declaration of the Rights of the Child . 1924 Jebb’s Declaration is adopted by the League of Nations and becomes known as the Declaration of Geneva . 1948 The UN adopts the Universal Declaration of Human Rights , a document that implicitly includes the rights of children. 1959 The UN General Assembly adopts the ten point Declaration of the Rights of the Child , a revised and extended version of Jebb’s original Declaration constituting the first international commitment to children’s civil and political rights and incorporating the guiding principle of working in children’s best interests. 1979 To mark the twentieth anniversary of the 1959 Declaration of the Rights of the Child , 1979 is designated International Year of the Child. During preparations for this year, the government of Poland proposes a new and binding children’s rights convention be drafted and submits just such a draft to the UN Commission on Human Rights in 1978. Consequently, a working group is established to consider the creation of a convention on the rights of the child. 1989 On 20 November 1989, the UN General Assembly adopts the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child . This Convention enters into force as international law on 2 September 1990 following its ratification by the required 20 states. 1992 Ireland ratifies the Convention on the Rights of the Child . 1996 First National Report of Ireland, on its implementation of the UNCRC, is submitted to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.

VLADIMIR, IN HOLY BAPTISM BASIL, THE ENLIGHTENER OF THE RUSSIAN LAND – Commemorated on July 28th Few names in the annals of history can compare in significance with the name of St. Vladimir, the Baptizer of Rus, who stands at the beginning of the spiritual destiny of the Russian Church and the Russian Orthodox people. Vladimir was the grandson of St Olga, and he was the son of Svyatoslav (+ 972). His mother, Malusha (+ 1001) was the daughter of Malk Liubechanin, whom historians identify with Mal, prince of the Drevlyani. Having subdued an uprising of the Drevlyani and conquered their cities, Princess Olga gave orders to execute Prince Mal for his attempt to marry her after he murdered her husband Igor, and she took to herself Mal's children, Dobrynya and Malusha. Dobrynya grew up to be a valiant brave warrior, endowed with a mind for state affairs, and he was later on an excellent help to his nephew Vladimir in matters of military and state administration.

Th e rest of the report is primari- ly focused on the educational issues of linguistic minorities in Serbia. We present data concerning the edu- cational level of the population, the legal-normative preconditions for the education of minorities and the expert treatment of the problems encountered in education in the languages of national minorities since 2001. Finally, we discuss the representation of minorities in education in their own language, some prob- lems involved in education in minority languages and possible models for education in minority languag- es in the Republic of Serbia. Keywords: ethno-linguistic, teaching in languages of minorities, teaching models, education system. Introductory remarks1 the Kingdom of Yugoslavia since 1929).

    The Birth of Children's Rights Between the First and Second World Wars

    MISCELLANEA HISTORICO-IURIDICA TOM XIX, z. 1 ROK 2020 Roldán Jimeno Universidad Pública de Navarra (Public University of Navarre, Spain) e-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-1400-282X DOI: 10.15290/mhi.2020.19.01.06 The birth of children’s rights between the First and Second World Wars: The historical events leading up to the Convention Abstract At the beginning of the twentieth century, the industrialised countries had no guidelines for protecting children. From the time of its creation, the League of Nations has been interested in improving the situation of children and expanding their rights. To accomplish just that, the Child Welfare Committee was created in 1919. The creation of said Committee was the first action taken by the international community in a matter that was not to be left to the sole discretion of the states. That same year, the Englishwoman Eglantyne Jebb and her sister Dorothy founded Save the Children, which evolved very quickly and, in 1920, gave way to the establishment of the International Save the Children Union, headquartered in Geneva. In 1924, the League of Nations approved the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child, drafted by Eglantyne Jebb herself. The first big challenge that said legal doctrine and the partnership in favour of children’s rights came up against was the Spanish Civil War. The first great movement of refugee children featured the children of the Basque Country, who were welcomed in Great Britain. Let us take a look at this case as an example of the practical side of the first legal doctrine on children’s rights.

Signature: ii University of Sussex Rose Holmes PhD Thesis A Moral Business: British Quaker work with Refugees from Fascism, 1933-39 Summary This thesis details the previously under-acknowledged work of British Quakers with refugees from fascism in the period leading up to the Second World War. This work can be characterised as distinctly Quaker in origin, complex in organisation and grassroots in implementation. The first chapter establishes how interwar British Quakers were able to mobilise existing networks and values of humanitarian intervention to respond rapidly to the European humanitarian crisis presented by fascism. The Spanish Civil War saw the lines between legal social work and illegal resistance become blurred, forcing British Quaker workers to question their own and their country’s official neutrality in the face of fascism.
