II. Sobre el vasco hamaika «11» (en relación con el artículo de I. Bochoroshvili sobre el mismo tema)
No full textThe author of this work admits that the numeral meaning of the term hamar «10» is older than «amai», end, limit in the word hameka, going back to the meaning of «hand» (mano), although it contributes with the observation that other languages had a numeral, eka, ika, to indicate the number «1».
The second part brings a complementary explanation that poses Prof. Zystar in favour of the old position accepted by Michelena, which sees the numeral hamar «10» in the base of the term hamaika, opposite to Tovar's hypothesis which sets of amai, end, limit, extreme. La autora de este trabajo admite que la acepción numeral del término hamar «10» es más antigua que la de «amai», fin, límite, en la palabra hameka, remontándose al significado de «mano», aunque asume ambos conceptos. Aporta la observación de que otras lenguas poseían un numeral, eka, ika, para indicar el número «1».
La segunda parte aporta una aclaración complementaria que posiciona al prof. Zytsar a favor de la postura antigua admitida por Michelena, que ve el numeral hamar «10» en la base del término hamaika, frente a la hipótesis de Tovar que parte de amai, fin, límite, extremo. Lanaren egiliearentzat hamar «10» zenbakiaren erroa zaharragoa da «amai», bukaera, azkena, hitzarena baino, eta «eskua» adierazten zuen noizbait. Gero, hamar eta amai edukin biak hartu zituen noski. Beste hizkuntza batzuetan ere bazela eka, ika, bat «1» zenbakia adierazteko, aditzera ematen du.
Bigarren atala bestearen gehigarria da eta Zytsar jauna Mitxelena-ren alde agertzen da «hamar» zenbatzailea ikusten duelarik «hamaikaren» erroan, eta ez Tovar jaunak proposatutako amai hitza, bukaera, azkena, aideraziz.

Nomadic Society and the Hungarian Conquerors' Tribal Society of Oriental Origin
No full textThe social structure of nomadic societies is best reflected in that of organised nomadic empires. The present article explores the closely interrelated social, economic and military activities in advanced nomadic societies. The changing status and sometimes significantly different roles of newly conquered tribes are elucidated to provide a true picture of the organising principles of the relationship between the conquerors and the conquered population. Myths of origin, religious elements, real or virtual borders and the practice of exogamy all played a decisive role in creating social stability and an efficiently functioning order on the steppe. Furthermore, the term half-nomad is investigated to clarify its precise meaning, clearly contrasting it with some widespread misunderstandings. It is suggested that the use of this term should be avoided in contexts when it refers to the mixture of livestock-breeding and pasture-life. In addition, the exact meaning of the term clan and the roles of women in nomadic societies are analysed with various mythical and historical examples. The author suggests that the general concepts of nomadic societies could and should be applied to the history of the Magyars

Enhancing information security in organisations in Qatar
No full textDue to the universal use of technology and its pervasive connection to the world, organisations have become more exposed to frequent and various threats. Therefore, organisations today are giving more attention to information security as it has become a vital and challenging issue. Many researchers have noted that the significance of information security, particularly information security policies and awareness, is growing due to increasing use of IT and computerization.
In the last 15 years, the State of Qatar has witnessed remarkable growth and development of its civilization, having embraced information technology as a base for innovation and success. The country has undergone tremendous improvements in the health care, education and transport sectors. Information technology plays a strategic role in building the country's knowledge-based economy. Due to Qatar s increasing use of the internet and connection to the global environment, it needs to adequately address the global threats arising online. As a result, the scope of this research is to investigate information security in Qatar and in particular the National Information Assurance (NIA) policy. There are many solutions for information security some technical and some non-technical such as policies and making users aware of the dangers. This research focusses on enhancing information security through non-technical solutions.
The aim of this research is to improve Qatari organisations information security processes by developing a comprehensive Information Security Management framework that is applicable for implementation of the NIA policy, taking into account Qatar's culture and environment. To achieve the aim of this research, different research methodologies, strategies and data collection methods will be used, such as a literature review, surveys, interviews and case studies.
The main findings of this research are that there is insufficient information security awareness in organisations in Qatar and a lack of a security culture, and that the current NIA policy has many barriers that need to be addressed. The barriers include a lack of information security awareness, a lack of dedicated information security staff, and a lack of a security culture. These barriers are addressed by the proposed information security management framework, which is based on four strategic goals: empowering Qataris in the field of information security, enhancing information security awareness and culture, activating the Qatar National Information Assurance policy in real life, and enabling Qatar to become a regional leader in information security. The research also provides an information security awareness programme for employees and university students.
At the time of writing this thesis, there are already indications that the research will have a positive impact on information security in Qatar. A significant example is that the information security awareness programme for employees has been approved for implementation at the Ministry of Administrative Development Labour and Social Affairs (ADLSA) in Qatar. In addition, the recommendations proposed have been communicated to the responsible organisations in Qatar, and the author has been informed that each organisation has decided to act upon the recommendations made

Bishop Gilbert of Hamar:A Norwich Cleric, Envoy and Administrator in Thirteenth-Century Norway
No full textGilbertus Hamarensis (died 1287 and also known as Gilbertus Norvicensis ), a largely overlooked medieval ecclesiastic, is shown to have had a remarkable career: archdeacon of Shetland; chaplain to Håkon IV of Norway; envoy of the Norwe- gian king to Alexander III of Scotland; bishop of the Norwegian diocese of Hamar; suffragan bishop in Norfolk; probable author of theological works; pos- sible patron of scholars; and benefactor to Carmelite friaries. His trans-North Sea career is an example of the role that senior ecclesiastics in the 13th-century could play in international diplomacy, while contributions from archaeological, architectural and art-historical sources complement and contextualise the thin documentary record. An explanation is offered for the eclipse of his undoubted contemporary fame in Norwich
Sverre Fehns museumsteori
No full textSverre Fehn and his theory of exhibitions In the 17th century a large barn was erected on the ruins of a medieval bishop's residence at Hamar in Norway. Today it has been transformed into a historical museum, Storhamarlåven. The exhibition of historical objects has been designed by the famous architect Sverre Fehn. In this paper, which is a chapter in a more extensive study of Fehn, the author analyses the exhibition against the background of Fehn's own writings and statements made in press interviews. The author finds that Fehn in his adherence to modernism, is akin to Elias Cannetti who has characterized 'history' as an old vampire sucking the blood out of young people's brains and who argues that people who do not make their way out of history are irretrievably lost. How can Fehn combine the modernistic rejection of everything with a taste for history and nationalism with the museological responsibility to further identity and factual historical information? Both aims to be achieved through the medium of material objects.
Teknologisk kartlegging av norsk polykrom treskulptur fra perioden 1100-1350: Nytt lys på Madonna fra Veldre, Madonna fra Østsinni og Krusifiks fra Tretten
No full textTechnological mapping of Norwegian polychrome wooden sculpture 1100-1350 New light on the Virgin from Veldre, the Virgin from Østsinni and the Crucifix from Tretten By Kaja Kollandsrud
The work presented herein is part of an ongoing research project mapping the material and techniques used in the construction and painting of Norwegian polychrome wooden sculptures from the period 1100-1350. The project is presented with updated statistical figures from Kollandsrud 2002. New analysis of the Virgin from Veldre, the Virgin from Østsinni and the Crucifix from Tretten (Fig. 1-5) has revealed that these pieces have been partly re-carved and re-polychromed after their original production. The original sculptures have been dated stylistically from their carvings to different parts of the thirteenth century. The sculptures all belongs to the area around the bishopric of Hamar. Even though the original carvings are dated differently, the author suggests that the same hand could have carried out the re-painting, at least on the two Virgins. There are striking similarities between the polychrome on the three pieces. The author suggests that what is seen today is a fifteenth century alteration of an earlier scheme. This conclusion is based on the examination of the techniques and materials used and their methods of application. Other sculptures in the Oslo University collection are used as comparative examples.
