Translators. mew] One of the seven conditions in rule 21.30Kl for making an added entry for the translator of a work is that "the translation is important in its own right." The Library of Congress applies this condition as follows: Make an added entry under the heading for the translator of a work of belles lettres when the name of the translator appears on the chief source of information of the item being cataloged. (Note: This policy is effective January 1994.) 21.30M. Analytical entries. [Rev.] Added Entries for Work Added entries for works reflect the type of main entry heading of the work being cataloged in the tracing as follows: Qpe of main entry Qpe of added entry Personal or corporate Name headingluniform name heading title Title Uniform title Uniform title (e.g., Uniform title Bible) The phrase "added entries for works" in these instructions is intended to encompass all the various types of added entries listed above. Added entries for works are of two types: analytical and simple. They are made on the basis of various rules, some of which prescribe an analytical added entry in explicit terms, others of which do not. Whenever the added entry is made to furnish an access point to work contained in the item being cataloged, it should be an analytical added entry (e.g., 1 21.7B1, 21.13B1, 21.19Al). If the added entry serves only to provide an approach to the item being cataloged through a related work, however, and the text of this work is not present in the item being cataloged, then a simple added entry for the work is appropriate (e.g., 21.12B1, 21.28B1, 21.30Gl). The relationship that is expressed between works by means of an added entry, either analytical or simple, is limited to a single access point, namely, that of the main entry. An added entry in the form of the main entry heading for a work provides the sole access to the work it represents in the tracing on the catalog record for another work; do not trace in addition any added entries for that work's title (when main entry is under a name heading), joint author, editor, compiler, translator, etc. Analytical Added Entries Formulate analytical added entries as follows: Qpe of analytical added entry Components Name headingltitle Heading in catalog- entry form plus uniform title Title Uniform title Uniform title (e.g., Bible) Uniform title In addition, following the uniform title, provide the language (if appropriate). For the Bible and the collective uniform titles "Works" and "Selections," provide the elements appropriate to these uniform titles as called for in the relevant rules and LCRIs: for the Bible, 25.18A; for "Works," LCRI 25.8; for "Selections," LCRI 25.9. Note that all of these specify including in the uniform title the year of publication of the item being cataloged. Cataloging Service Bulletin, No. 62 (Fall 1993) 11 In making analytical added entries, note especially the following details: 1) Do not abbreviate the names of languages. 2) For the Bible and the collective uniform titles noted above that include the year I of publication, formulate the year according to the guideline stated in LCRI 25.8. 3) Do not enclose uniform titles within brackets. 4) Do not give in the tracing a title found in the item being cataloged that is different from the uniform title. Simple Added Entries Formulate simple added entries as follows: Qpe of simple added entry Components Name headingltitle Heading in catalog- entry form plus uniform title Title Uniform title Uniform title (e.g., Beowulf) Uniform title Note that subject entries for works are formulated in the same manner as simple added entries. 23.2. GENERAL RULES. [Rev.] Sources Apply the following for current place names: 1) For names in the United States, base the heading on the form found in a recent edition of the Rand McNally Commercial Atlas and Marketing Guide. 2) For names in Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, base the heading on the form found in a recently published gazetteer. 3) For names in Canada, use the heading provided by the National Library of Canada. Accept the NLC form, even if it differs from LC policy in such matters as abbreviations, fullness, qualifiers, etc. 4) For other names, base the heading either on the form found in the work being cataloged together with a consideration of the form found in a recently published gazetteer or on the form provided by the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN), as necessary. This means that BGN may be consulted routinely or not, as efficiency, etc., in the particular case warrants. It also means that all problems not resolved by the work in hand and a recently published gazetteer must be referred to BGN. English or Vernacular Forms If BGN approves both a vernacular and an English form (called a conventional name in BGN terminology), use the English form. For the following names, use the English form listed rather than the BGN-approved form: Alma-Ata Amoy Anhwei Province Ashkhabad Bavaria Bosnia and Hercegovina 12 Cataloging Service Bulletin, No. 62 (Fall 1993) Brittany Bruges Burgundy Canton Carinthia Chekiang Province Corsica Crete Dairen East Flanders Fukien Province Ghent Harbin Heilungkiang Province Hesse Hokkaido Honan Province Hopeh Province Hunan Province Hupeh Province Inner Mongolia Istanbul Jaffa Kalgan Kansu Province Kiangsi Province Kiangsu Province Kirin Kwangsi Chuang Autonomous Region Kwangtung Province Kweichow Province Kyoto Liaoning Province Louvain Lower Austria Lower Saxony Malacca Mantua Mexico City Ningsia Hui Autonomous Region North Brabant North Holland North Rhine-Westphalia Nuremberg Osaka Padua Peking Picardy Piraeus Port Arthur Rabat Rhineland-Palatinate Saint Gall Saxony Saxony-Anhalt Seville Shanghai Shansi Province Shantung Province Shensi Province Sian Sicily Sinkiang Province Sinkiang Uighur Autonomous Region South Holland Styria Cataloging Service Bulletin, No. 62 (Fall 1993) 13 Swatow Syracuse Szechwan Province Tehran [instead of Teheran] Thuringia Tibet Tientsin Tirana Tsinan Tsinghai Province Tsingtao Tsitsihar Turin Upper Austria Urumchi West Flanders Yunnan Province Zurich Note: If a foreign name is established in an English form, use the same form if the name is used by more than one jurisdictional level or is used as part of another name, whenever the same name occurs at the beginning of the name. Kyoto (Japan) Kyoto (Japan : Prefecture) not Ky6to-fu (Japan) Cologne (Germany) Cologne-Deutz (Cologne, Germany) not Koln-Deutz (Cologne, Germany) but Garching bei Miinchen (Germany) not Garching bei Munich (Germany) Modflcations of the Name 1) Initial articles. Drop initial articles from the beginning of the entry element of geographic names in Arabic, Urdu, Hebrew, and Yiddish. Retain initial articles in other non-English geographic names when retention is supported by current gazetteers in the country's language. ("Non-English" is meant to include names in French, Spanish, etc., when these are used in the United States (e.g., Los Angeles) or other English-spealung countries.) Drop all other initial articles (e.g., drop "The" from "The Dalles"). 2) Gazetteers. If the name is based on the form found in a recently published gazetteer, generally use in the heading the form found on the item being cataloged rather than a shortened form or unabbreviated form found in a gazetteer, unless 23.5A is applicable. However, for "Saint" or "St." and "Mount" or "Mt. ," always use the spelled out form regardless of the item being cataloged or other evidence. in source: Montgomery County gazetteer: Montgomery heading: Montgomery County (Md.) in source: St. Joseph gazetteer: Saint Joseph heading: Saint Joseph (Mo.) 3) U.S. Board on Geographic Names. If BGN approves a romanized form that conflicts with LC's policy for the romanization of that language, use the LC form of romanization in the heading.

  • The Czech Position on US Missile Defense – Between Strategy and Public Political Debate
    Unwilling to Succeed: The Czech Position on US Missile Defense – Between Strategy and Public Political Debate Irena Kalhousová Background After the fall of Communism in 1989, one of the main goals of Czechoslovak, and later Czech, foreign policy, was to become a member of Western security, economic, and political structures. It was not long after the Velvet Revolution that the Czechs rejected “neutrality” and began to strive for NATO membership. This pro-Atlantic position was not only a strategic choice, but also a natural reaction to forty years of living under the Soviet VSKHUHRILQÀXHQFH,QOLJKWRIWKLVKLVWRULFDOH[SHULHQFHLWZDVKRSHGWKDWWKH United States, rather than West European countries, would provide security guarantees not only to the Czech Republic, but to the whole Central and Eastern Europe region. This aspiration culminated in 1999 when the Czech Republic, together with Hungary and Poland, joined NATO. In 2006, the US announced a plan to deploy ballistic missile defense interceptors in Europe as part of the George W. Bush administration’s policy for advancing missile defense. In 2007, the Czech Republic and Poland were invited to participate in this plan by deploying US military infrastructure on their territory; ten interceptors would be deployed in Poland and a missile tracking radar in the Czech Republic. The interceptors were to be two-stage versions of the three-stage GBIs, and the radar an X-band radar. The European site of the ballistic missile defense would be part of a system that was intended to defend both the US and parts of Europe from potential future Iranian long-range ballistic missiles. The participation of the Czech Republic in the US Missile Defense System (MDS) was seen by the proponents of the project as an opportunity 64 I Irena Kalhousová to send a clear signal that the Czech Republic was now fully integrated into the Western political sphere.

This paper aims to describe different aspects of critical care in the FTA. For this, we reviewed official 25 information about population size and intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity in the FTA and literature on FTA ICU specificities. Persons living in or visiting the FTA are exposed to specific risks, mainly severe road traffic 26 injuries, envenoming, stab or ballistic wounds, and emergent tropical infectious diseases. These diseases may 27 require specific knowledge and critical care management. However, there are not enough ICU beds in the FTA. 28 Indeed, there are 7.2 ICU beds/100 000 population in Guadeloupe, 7.2 in Martinique, and 4.5 in French Gui- 29 ana. In addition, seriously ill patients in remote areas regularly have to be transferred, most often by helicopter, 30 resulting in a delay in admission to intensive care.

An overseas department of France ( département d'outre-mer ). The Fisheries of French Guiana Overview Commercial shrimp fishing, along with forestry are the most important economic activities and export of shrimp accounts for 50% of export earnings (Weidner et al. 1999). Local fisheries are inshore artisanal canoe fisheries, line fisheries for snappers and commercial shrimp trawling. Foreign-flagged vessels were a significant component of the fishery until the 1990s, when French Guiana waters were closed to US and other international fleets. There are no longline fisheries in French Guiana. 1. What fisheries exist in this territory? The shrimp fishery is dominated by commercial operations fishing for penaeid shrimp, with P. subtilis and P.brasiliensis making up 99% of the catch. Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (seabob) shrimp fishey has not been assessed, and is considered insignificant because of the ban on trawling in the 20 m isobath (Charuau and Medley 2001).

  • A Century of Czech Tramping 19 FOLKLORICA 2011, Vol. XVI ARTICLES a Century of Czech Tramping Jan Pohunek Institute of Ethnology
    A Century of Czech tramping 19 ARTICLES A Century of Czech tramping Jan Pohunek Institute of Ethnology, Faculty of Arts, Charles University Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The article describes the history and major characteristics of an independent Czech youth movement called “tramping”. The movement originated in the 1910s-1920s as an unorganized offshoot of boy scouting and E. T. Seton’s Woodcraft and quickly became popular among urban teens and young adults. It was simply a way of spending time outdoors with friends at first, heavily influenced by early western movies and Wild West aesthetics in general, but became a distinctive subculture and cultural phenomenon during the following decades. Some of its unique aspects include specific music, slang, art and dress code. Czech tramping is also an interesting example of an early youth subculture, which is comparable to post-WW2 subcultures and which survived into the present day although its participants were often persecuted, especially under the communist regime. Another topic discussed is the fact that the movement kept its independence even under political pressure, rejected all attempts to organize it hierarchically and while it sometimes had a dimension of a protest culture in the 20th century, it can be considered to be apolitical in general. It is now almost a hundred years since an interesting modern folk cultural phenomenon began to establish itself in Bohemia. ‘Tramping’ (1), as it is called nowadays, can be described as an unorganized youth movement, or a subculture, that is heavily inspired by the romantic image of the American Wild West and that manifests itself mostly through outdoor social activities such as hiking or camping, accompanied by specific styles of music, slang, architecture, art and clothing.

  • Marine Turtles Identification in French Guiana : Why, Where and How ?
    MARINE TURTLES IDENTIFICATION IN FRENCH GUIANA : WHY, WHERE AND HOW ? Johan Chevalier 1 & Marc Girondot 1, 2 1- UMR 8570 - Université Paris 7 Denis Diderot, CNRS, MNHN Paris et Collège de France - 2 place Jussieu - 75251 Paris Cedex 05 - France. [email protected] & [email protected] 2 - Réserve Naturelle de l’Amana - 97361 Ya:lima:po-Awa:la - Guyane française. Leatherback identification program began at the end of the 1960s in French Guiana. Many different methods have been used : plastic tags, titanium tags, Monel tags, PIT tags, photo- identification and branding. In total, more than 50,000 tags have been put on leatherbacks whereas the estimated number of females is much lower. Althought it initialy yielded important information the tagging program quickly became what Mrosovsky called the tagging reflex, because of the lack of objectives. Since 1998, a new identification program has begun in French Guiana. The first step of this program has been to clearly identify why, where and how leatherback identification should be performed in this region. Why ? The first question we asked was not why identify, but what scientific data do we need to improve knowledge and conservation of this species. Identification is a suitable tool to perform some of the needed studies such as: - The delimitation of the leatherback population nesting in the Guianas. The coast of the Guianas (North of Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana) is the most important nesting zone for Dermochelys coriacea in the world (Spotila et al., 1996). Ya:lima:po beach, in the western part of French Guiana, concentrates the large majority of the leatherback nesting activity in this region (Girondot & Fretey, 1996).

    Bulletin of Geography. Physical Geography Series, No. 16 (2019): 67–87 http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/bgeo-2019-0005 Tors in Central European Mountains – are they indicators of past environments? ISSN 2080-7686 Aleksandra Michniewicz University of Wroclaw, Poland Correspondence: University of Wroclaw, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8477-2889 Abstract. Tors represent one of the most characteristic landforms in the uplands and mountains of Central Europe, including the Sudetes, Czech-Moravian Highlands, Šumava/Bayerischer Wald, Fichtel- gebirge or Harz. These features occur in a range of lithologies, although granites and gneisses are particularly prone to tor formation. Various models of tor formation and development have been pre- sented, and for each model the tors were thought to have evolved under specific environmental con- ditions. The two most common theories emphasised their progressive emergence from pre-Quaternary weathering mantles in a two-stage scenario, and their development across slopes under periglacial conditions in a one-stage scenario. More recently, tors have been analysed in relation to ice sheet ex- tent, the selectivity of glacial erosion, and the preservation of landforms under ice. In this paper we describe tor distribution across Central Europe along with hypotheses relating to their formation and Key words: development, arguing that specific evolutionary histories are not supported by unequivocal evidence tors, and that the scenarios presented were invariably model-driven. Several examples from the Sudetes deep weathering, are presented to demonstrate that tor morphology is strongly controlled by lithology and structure. periglacial processes, The juxtaposition of tors of different types is not necessarily evidence that they differ in their mode glacial erosion, of origin or age.

  • 10 - Explanatory Notes
    ______________________________________________________________________________ French Guiana – Le Recensement Agricole 2010 - Explanatory Notes French Guiana, the largest Department of the French Territory, is recorded in the World Census of Agriculture Database at country level in the South American Region for statistical purposes only. Consequently, results related to France bear only upon the territory of France in Europe (France Metropolitaine). Historical outline Previous agricultural censuses were conducted in 1970, 1979, 1988 and 2000 Legal basis and organization The Decree No. 86-1169 of October 31st, 1986 established (Art. 3) that the agricultural statistics in the French territories of Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Reunion will be under the authority of the French Minister of Agriculture through the Director of Agriculture and Forest. The European Community Regulation EC 1166/2008 approved by the European Parliament and the Council establishes at European level the realization of decennial census of agriculture. Under this provision, the Decree No. 2009-529 of May 11th, 2009, established the undertaking of the 2010 Census of Agriculture in the French overseas departments. The Statistical Service of the French Guiana’s Direction of Food, Agriculture and Forest was commended with the actual undertaking of the census. It was founded by the French National budget. The field work for the 2010 Census of Agriculture, involved 70 enumerators. Enumeration period The census of agriculture was enumerated during the period September 2010 – June 2011. Reference period/date The census reference year was the 2009-2010 farming season - for crops, methods of production and labour. The 1st of November, 2010, for livestock. Calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010 were taken into account for rural development.
