Intermatch, genetic distance, and admixture analyses highlighted the genetic similarity between the Croatians of Molise and the neighbouring Italian populations and demonstrated that the Croatian-Italian ethnic minority presents features lying between Croatians and Italians. This finding was confirmed by a phylogeographic approach, which revealed both the prevalence of Croatian and the penetrance of Italian maternal lineages in the Croatian community of Molise. These results suggest that there was no reproductive isolation between the two geographically proximate, yet culturally distinct populations living in Italy. The gene flow between the Croatian-Italians and the surrounding Italian populations indicate, therefore, that ethnic consciousness has not created reproductive barriers and that the Croatian-speaking minority of Molise does not represent a reproductively isolated entity.

Cilj je ovoga rada prikazati adventske običaje u narodnoj Ključne riječi: kulturi stanovnika Makarskoga primorja, kako one koji su advent, običaji, Makarsko pri- se zadržali do današnjega vremena, tako i one koji su na morje, ophodi, priprava za doček žalost nestali.

Riječ je o običajima koji su se u najvećoj mjeri prenosili s koljena na koljeno i tako ostali zapisani u kolektivnoj svijesti zajednice.

Uvod Zanimanje za običaje u Hrvata vrlo je staro. Naš humanistički pjesnik i povjesničar, rodom Šibenčanin, Juraj Šižgorić još je u 15. stoljeću uspoređivao domaće božićne običaje s rimskim Saturnalijama. Opise običaja naći ćemo u književnim djelima naših renesansnih i baroknih pisaca, baroknih polihistoričara, djelima propovjednika i pro- svjetitelja. Prekretnica nastojanja sustavnoga prikupljanja običajne građe u Hrvatskoj bila je ‘’Osnova’’ Antuna Radića iz 1897.

  • Self-Determination for the Basque People
    THE HUMAN RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION AND THE LONG WALK OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY TO A DEMOCRATIC SCENARIO ―Law is a living deed, not a brilliant honors list of past writers whose work of course compels respect but who cannot, except for a few great minds, be thought to have had such a vision of the future that they could always see beyond their own times‖. Judge Ammoun ―Separate Opinion‖ Advisory Opinion of the ICJ Jon Namibia, 1971 Introduction Let me start with some considerations. The case of the right to self determination is the case of human rights and history shows us that human rights are the cause of the oppressed, the cause of the colonized, the subalterns, and the cause of those on the other side of the borderline. Human rights have always been opposed by those in power, by the states of the capitalist world system. And so the recognized human rights are not but the consequences of long term struggles for non-recognized rights. And same pass with the right to self determination. Those who today consider this right only to be applied to colonies or occupied territories, are the same who opposed to the struggles for national liberation. Those who consider right now the right to self determination recognized in art 1 of the UN International Covenants on Civil and Political rights and Social, Cultural and Ecomic Rights are the same who opposed in the UN to the stablishment of art.1 and those who right now try to limit the right of indigenous peoples to self determination.
