Oral History In Post-Conflict Societies: Experiences From Researching The Northern Ireland Troubles
The past five or so years were rather difficult for those conducting interviews in Ireland. Nonetheless, interviews remain an essential source for those of us researching political violence and the Northern Irish Troubles. Since the debacle of the Belfast Oral History Project at Boston College (BC), narrators greet oral historians in the best case with increasing suspicion, in the worst case with open hostility. All too often, potential narrators refuse to proceed with interview requests, giving the BC project as the reason.
To be sure, the BC project is not the only academic project using interviews that has brought oral history under a cloud of suspicion among activists. Despite the label “disaster”, and most likely rightly so, the BC project led to the publication of some groundbreaking writings, almost all sparked intense public debate. The first began with the publication of Richard O’Rawe’s Blanketmen. The former IRA prisoner decided to write the book after interviews with Anthony McIntyre, himself also a former IRA prisoner, for the BC project. A few years later, Ed Moloney published the book and TV documentary “Voices from the Grave”, including interviews with two deceased participants in the project, Brendan Hughes and David Ervine. Finally, November 2018 saw the release of “Say Nothing” by New Yorker writer Patrick Radden Keefe, also an indirect result of the BC project.
Despite these publications, researchers tend to shy away from interviewing former Republican and Loyalist paramilitaries. Yet, my own experience researching the Northern Irish Troubles convinced me that oral history is one of the most fruitful methodologies for uncovering hidden narratives and, thereby, providing a fresh understanding of the conflict.
For the past ten years, I have conducted oral history research in Ireland and Northern Ireland. First, in 2009/10 for my MA thesis, then, from 2014 to 2017 for my PhD thesis, and now, as part of my postdoctoral research project. Altogether, I recorded almost 100 interviews with Irish Republicans.
My first research project was about Irish Republicans that were active in the women’s organisation Cumann na mBan. I later published a German-language monograph and an article in Irish Political Studies, among other publications.
When I embarked on my research as an MA student, I had not anticipated becoming an oral historian. Instead, I became an oral historian partly by chance, partly by circumstances.
My initial research led me, as so many students, to the Linen Hall Library in Belfast. There, in the Northern Ireland Political Collection, to my disappointment, all material related to militant women in the Provisional Republican Movement was filed under “Women IRA”, no matter if they were indeed in the Provisional IRA or Cumann na mBan.
Some weeks later, I met a member of the 1960s Cumann na mBan leadership in Limerick. When the conflict in Northern Ireland erupted, Cumann na mBan, then the only paramilitary organisation that provided membership for women since the IRA was all-male until autumn 1971, decided to move the leadership from the south of Ireland to the north.
She told me that representatives of the old leadership and the new Belfast-based leadership held a meeting in Dublin. At that meeting, they handed all internal documents, including minutes, financial reports, correspondence between local branches, internal communique, etc., over.
The following year, she attended another meeting with members from the Belfast leadership in Dublin. She asked if the documents were safely stored in a “billet”, the term for safe houses of the IRA. To her great disbelief, she was informed that all documents were burned in a shed outside Newry, just north of the border. This step was justified because of “security concerns”, yet, to me, she said: “They also burned our history.”
By burning their internal documents, Cumann na mBan played its part in removing themselves from history books. In the historiography of the Troubles, Cumann na mBan appears as a mere footnote – at most. Over the following years, I was able to conduct 24 interviews with former activists of Cumann na mBan. Despite several difficulties, I was able to uncover parts of the hidden history of Republican women during the Troubles.
Despite the numerous obstacles faced by academics in researching post-conflict societies, oral history provides arguably one of the most fruitful and interesting avenues for researching war, conflict, and political violence. This avenue must not be left neglected due to the mistakes of those who went before us. On the contrary, these mistakes are a chance to learn from them and improve further oral history research on the Northern Irish Troubles.

Zusätzlich kann man(n) sich auch an einen Andrologen (ursprünglich spezialisiert auf Störungen der Fortpflanzungsfähigkeit beim Mann) oder einen Internisten bzw.
Endokrinologen (Internisten mit Schwerpunkt hormonelle
Störungen) wenden. Dennoch gibt es auch Länder in denen anabole Steroide authorized,
ohne ärztliche Verordnung erworben werden können.
Diese Veränderungen fördern nicht nur das Körperbewusstsein, sondern tragen auch zu einer besseren physischen und psychischen Gesundheit bei.
Um jedoch die Risiken, die mit der Einnahme von Testosteron einhergehen, zu minimieren, sollte die Therapie stets unter ärztlicher Aufsicht durchgeführt werden. So kann sichergestellt werden, dass sowohl die medizinischen als auch die wirtschaftlichen Aspekte
der Testosteron-Verordnung verantwortungsvoll und nachhaltig gehandhabt
werden. Stellt ein Endokrinologe oder Androloge (Männerfacharzt) einen Testosteronmangel
fest, kann er zu einer Ersatztherapie raten. Die Behandlung erfolgt meist mittels spezieller Gels, die täglich beispielsweise auf Unterarm, Bauch
oder Oberschenkel aufgetragen werden.
In Deutschland ist die PKV eine der Möglichkeiten, um die Kosten für medizinische Behandlungen zu decken. Doch wie sieht es mit der Erstattung der TRT durch die
personal Krankenversicherung aus? In diesem Artikel klären wir, was die TRT ist, wie sie in der PKV behandelt wird
und welche Leistungen Sie erwarten können. Die Testosteronersatztherapie hat nichts mit illegalem Doping zu tun,
sondern ist eine ärztliche Behandlung, die einen krankhaften Testosteronmangel ausgleichen soll.
Die Therapie darf nur erfolgen, wenn ausgeschlossen werden kann, dass
der Mangel nicht lebensstilbedingt ist. In diesem Fall übernehmen die gesetzlichen Krankenkassen die Behandlungskosten. Diese Effekte sind jedoch in der Regel reversibel,
insbesondere wenn die Therapie fachgerecht überwacht und
langsam abgesetzt wird.
Im Rahmen einer Ersatztherapie wird der Testosteronspiegel im Blut bei Männern, durch
spezielle Medikamente auf den unteren bis mittleren Wert gebracht.
Sollte es sich um eine dieser drei Erkrankungen handeln, übernehmen die meisten Krankenkassen die Kosten. Natürlich wird normalerweise jeder einzelne Fall einer Prüfung unterzogen, ob diese oben erwähnten Erkrankungen, nicht auch
mit anderen Behandlung kostengünstiger wäre. Dagegen gibt
es numerous Präparate, die den Hormonspiegel wieder erhöhen. Allerdings
kann es ab einem höheren Alter zu einem sinkenden Testosteronmangel kommen(2).
Die Haut wird schlaff und die Haare werden weich und
fallen gegebenenfalls aus.
Die Testosterontherapie, auch als Testosteronersatztherapie (TRT) bezeichnet, ist eine
medizinische Behandlung, die darauf abzielt, einen Testosteronmangel (Hypogonadismus) auszugleichen. Wenn der Körper
nicht mehr ausreichend Testosteron produziert, kann es
zu gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen kommen.
Aber ja, wenn du eine indikation und eventuell überweisung an eine endokrinologische fachperson hast,
übernimmt die krankenkasse die kosten für die hormontherapie.
Ich weiss nicht genau wie es in deutschland ist, aber in der schweiz sind sie nur dazu verpflichtet, nebido zu bezahlen, also könnte probleme geben, wenn du gel
nehmen willst. Die Testosteronersatztherapie
(TRT) ist ein wichtiges Thema für viele Männer, die an Testosteronmangel leiden.
Im Volksmund werden diese deshalb auch als 3-Monats-Spritzen bezeichnet.
Die Spritzen erhält der Mann vom Facharzt, aber nur in vorheriger
Überprüfung der Testosteronwerte. Doch dieser Schritt will intestine überlegt sein und sollte niemals unter Ausschluss eines Facharztes geschehen.
Alles zum Ablauf, der Wirkung und den Kosten einer Testosterontherapie gibt
es in diesem Artikel. DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosteron) ist ein Steroidhormon und
wird vorwiegend in der Nebennierenrinde gebildet.
In der Regel übernehmen Krankenkassen die Kosten, wenn eine solche Therapie
unbedingt erforderlich erscheint. Da jedoch eine Einnahme von Testosteron Präparaten nur selten sinnvoll ist, haben viele Männer Probleme, eine
Kostenübernahme ihrer Krankenkassen zu bekommen. Various Experten gehen sogar so weit zu behaupten, dass Testosteronspritzen zu männerlastigen Chefetagen, oder zu mehr jugendlichen Rasern auf deutschen Strassen führen. Die Ursache
einer Testosteronsubstitution selber, kann an einer gestörten Testosteronproduktion in den Hoden oder einer Störung von übergeordneten Hormon Steuerzentrum im Gehirn liegen. Je nach Eintreten eines Mangels des Hormons, unterscheiden sich die körperlichen Anzeichen und Auswirkungen. Eine Ersatztherapie (Testosteronsubstitution) erfolgt häufig
mit speziellen testosteronhaltigen Gels, die täglich auf die Haut aufgetragen werden,
auf Arme, Schultern oder Bauch. Das Testosteron wird durch die Haut aufgenommen und verteilt sich dann über das Blut im Körper.Die Ärztin/der Arzt prüft zunächst, ob klinische Symptome für
einen Testosteronmangel vorliegen. Die Blutabnahme zur Messung des Testosteron muss morgens erfolgen, da der Testosteronspiegel bei Männern in der Früh erhöht ist.
Für viele Männer ist der erste Ansprechpartner der Hausarzt oder der Urologe.
Unabhängig von der Wahl des Arztes ist es wichtig,
sich intestine vorzubereiten. Bringen Sie alle relevanten medizinischen Unterlagen mit,
um eine zielgerichtete Untersuchung und mögliche Behandlungsansätze zu diskutieren.
Um die Kosten für die Testosterontherapie von Ihrer PKV erstattet
zu bekommen, sollten Sie einige Schritte beachten. Zunächst benötigen Sie
eine ärztliche Verordnung, die die Notwendigkeit der Therapie bestätigt.
Anschließend sollten Sie alle Belege und Rechnungen sorgfältig aufbewahren und
bei Ihrer PKV einreichen. In vielen Fällen ist es sinnvoll,
vorab eine Kostenzusage bei der PKV zu beantragen, um sicherzustellen, dass die Therapie erstattet
wird. Achten Sie darauf, alle erforderlichen Unterlagen und Anträge vollständig
einzureichen, um Verzögerungen zu vermeiden. -

With the compound having a half-life of about hours, I discover it higher
to take it once day by day (usually in the morning) to make sure it’s all the time energetic in my body.
This isn’t a compound for newbie SARM customers however ought to be used cautiously.
LGD-4033 causes a discount in the amount of testosterone your physique naturally produces.Some early analysis signifies that this SARM might need some disruptive effects on hormone signaling
as properly. Hair loss is a chance, however the precise explanation for this effect remains to be not identified.
LGD-4033 is one of few SARMs that have had some human research accomplished, and
the outcomes are spectacular, with glorious muscle features seen at very low doses.
With its specifically focused androgen receptor exercise, we can see advantages in all associated
areas, but there are some downsides with this powerful SARM regarding side
effects.
Nonetheless, these advantages are relatively delicate compared to powerful
bulking steroids, corresponding to testosterone, in our experience.
Oily skin, pimples, and thinning of hair on the scalp
are other potential androgenic unwanted side effects of
testosterone that our patients generally expertise.
A typical rip-off we see on the black market is to label hCG (human chorionic
gonadotropin) as HGH, with both compounds sharing a similar visual resemblance.HCG is a feminine being pregnant hormone but is sometimes used
by bodybuilders throughout PCT to stimulate endogenous testosterone production. Bodybuilders significantly increase the dosage, often identified as a blast, to overcome a plateau or maximize positive aspects in a short period of time.
This person skilled notable increases in muscle hypertrophy and fats loss from this protocol.
100 mg/week of testosterone may additionally be added to this
stack to extend anabolism with out adding any notable water retention because of this low dose.For individuals with extra experience, longer testosterone cycles may be acceptable.
Superior users may lengthen their cycles up to weeks to realize
their desired outcomes. However, it is crucial to notice that longer cycles improve
the danger of side effects and may require additional measures to handle potential health risks.However, it is crucial to say that the use of
exogenous testosterone can suppress the body’s natural testosterone production.
Testosterone is usually taken alongside T3 and Anavar for the final
8 weeks of this cycle. If a person does not want to use other injectable
steroids, they can instead stack Primo with any oral compound.
When it comes to oral steroids, Primo advantages for
both chopping and bulking cycles as well as used as a bridge between those two forms of cycles.
In this way, Primobolan may be stacked with any other
oral steroid an athlete chooses to make use of, depending on their objectives at that
particular time. Potential side effects in men embody decreased testosterone production, aggression, and sleep issues.Primo steroid shouldn’t considerably have an result on the level of the athlete’s blood pressure.
Primobolan has many benefits for almost anybody who wishes to realize
muscle mass because it actually works in a means that’s much like testosterone.Since Primobolan has a really gentle nature, athletes

steroid’ because its results act primarily on the central nervous system, supplying
you with an vitality increase when you want it. Stacking Primo with other
compounds is one of the simplest ways to attain most efficiency and results whereas additionally reducing the risk of any
potential negative side effects. As an added benefit to
Primo steroid, it has lately been found that this compound
has anti-estrogenic properties. It can actively inhibit estrogen manufacturing
by binding on to the aromatase enzyme answerable for breaking down testosterone into
estrogen.
Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels through the menstrual
cycle can have a big impact on ladies’s testosterone ranges.
Testosterone is an important hormone that plays a
job in various bodily functions, together with sexual development, bone energy, and muscle
mass. The Var and Clenbuterol cycle is probably the most common fats loss mixture where both steroids and non-androgenic PEDs are concerned.With EQ being such a slow-acting steroid, that is one that
we have to run for lengthy cycles. At the very minimum, I go for
20 weeks, but 24 weeks or extra is typical, and people of us who love EQ will
often be found operating it long-term. With EQ’s decrease androgenic ranking, girls will often take round 50mg/week and be capable of hold virilizing effects
at bay, with some known to take up to mg. Nonetheless, this higher
dose can have the effect of halting menstruation.
It has additionally been noted that individuals that use testosterone have
unbelievable boosts in their energy, recuperation, and immune system.
Whereas every of those steroids has a quantity
of advantages when used alone, combining Testosterone Cypionate and Anavar in a cycle can yield higher results before every of these steroids alone.
The improve in IGF-1 levels, which is liable for muscle mass development and strength will increase, is certainly one of
the most crucial advantages of combining Testosterone Cypionate and Anavar in a cycle.This suggests that when utilized in conjunction, this steroid mixture can significantly
enhance muscle improvement and energy in shorter time than when used alone.
Another profit is an increase in testosterone ranges, which means you have extra testosterone available to burn fats
and improve your endurance. With all of those benefits, it’s no wonder that this steroid
combo is in style among bodybuilders and fitness aficionados.
Different advantages of using Testosterone Cypionate with Anavar embrace enhanced
focus, power, confidence, and anti-aging effects. -
