Continuity and Social Transformation in Trickster Tales from Central Asia1
Oral Tradition, 26/1 (2011): 71-124 Crossing Boundaries, Breaking Rules: Continuity and Social Transformation in Trickster Tales from Central Asia1 Ildikó Bellér-Hann and Raushan Sharshenova Introduction The Arguments Although oral literature has conventionally been considered a field of study for folklorists, anthropologists started taking an interest in the subject very early on, conceptualizing such materials as socially embedded communicative strategies.2 The present paper investigates a body of texts that emerged in the Kyrgyz3 speech community in what is today northern Kyrgyzstan over the course of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In an effort to implement Soviet nationality policies, Soviet folklorists in the 1960s identified and collected a sizeable body of Kuyruchuk stories and published them in Russian (Bektenov 1964).4 Since Kyrgyzstan’s declaration of independence in 1991, two new books have been published, one containing some of the figure’s adventures and the other summarizing and analyzing stories about him, this time in Kyrgyz (Öskönalï uulu 1997, Kenchiev and Abdïrazakov 2002). The stories are generally simple and evoke the style of folktales; under socialism a number of such 1 An earlier, shorter version of this article has appeared in German; see Bellér-Hann and Sharshenova 2008.

Epidemic Cystic and Alveolar Echinococcosis in Kyrgyzstan: an Analysis of National Surveillance Data
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2020 Epidemic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis in Kyrgyzstan: an analysis of national surveillance data Paternoster, Giulia ; Boo, Gianluca ; Wang, Craig ; Minbaeva, Gulnara ; Usubalieva, Jumagul ; Raimkulov, Kursanbek Mamasalievich ; Zhoroev, Abdykadyr ; Abdykerimov, Kubanychbek Kudaibergenovich ; Kronenberg, Philipp Andreas ; Müllhaupt, Beat ; Furrer, Reinhard ; Deplazes, Peter ; Torgerson, Paul R Abstract: Background Human cystic and alveolar echinococcosis are among the priority neglected zoonotic diseases for which WHO advocates control. The incidence of both cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis has increased substantially in the past 30 years in Kyrgyzstan. Given the scarcity of adequate data on the local geographical variation of these focal diseases, we aimed to investigate within- country incidence and geographical variation of cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis at a high spatial resolution in Kyrgyzstan. Methods We mapped all confirmed surgical cases of cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis reported through the national echinococcosis surveillance system in Kyrgyzs- tan between Jan 1, 2014, and Dec 31, 2016, from nine regional databases. We then estimated crude surgical incidence, standardised incidence, and standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) of primary cases (ie, excluding relapses) based on age and sex at country, region, district, and local community levels. Finally, we tested the SIRs for global and local spatial autocorrelation to identify disease hotspots at the local community level. All incidence estimates were calculated per 100 000 population and averaged across the 3-year study period to obtain annual estimates. Findings The surveillance system reported 2359 primary surgical cases of cystic echinococcosis and 546 primary surgical cases of alveolar echinococcosis. -
