Many Hysterectomies Unnecessary, British Study Shows Around 100,000 British women have a hysterectomy every year, and by the age of 60, one in five has had their womb removed.

LIST OF PAPER ABSTRACTS Fridman Orli (Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University, USA), Public Urban Space and Alternative Voices: the Case of Women in Black. Although a relatively non-turbulent political climate in the country has not proven to be a particularly fertile ground for the appearance of inflammatory, humorous and critically minded political graffiti that characterised the 1990s, graffiti emerging today deals with subjects that, nontheless, are witness to the zeitgeist and current interests. This paper looks at the history of the construction and destruction of mosques and churches in Belgrade and elsewhere in the Balkans as manifestations of symbolic dominance, and argues that this form of contested symbolism is still practiced not only by “nationalists” in Bosnia and Serbia but also by representatives of the international community. www-gewi.kfunigraz.ac.at /inasea/abstracts.htm   (6163 words)
