Objective: We aimed to acquire Chinese cancer patients’ perspectives of depressive experience to identify risks and symptomatic signs of cancer-induced depression in order to inform culturally appropriate interventional strategies in a Cultural context. Methods: We used purposive sampling to enroll depressed and nondepressed Chinese cancer patients, phenomenology methods to conduct in-depth interview with each participant, and qualitative data analysis to identify thematic codes that were later converted quantitively and analyzed statistically. Results: Thirty depressed and 21 nondepressed Chinese patients with breast, stomach, colorectal, and prostate cancers were enrolled. Compared to the nondepressed participants, the depressed participants more frequently reported financial (p = .009), family (p = .012), and physical stress (p = .05). Most study participants (60.8%) rejected using the word “depression.” However, the depressed participants more frequently reported sleep disturbance (p = .001), rumination (p = .002), crying (p = .001), feeling guilty (p = .017), fear of losing family (p = .007), and suicidal ideation (p = .036). They were less likely to seek information or informational support from family (p =. 024, .009, respectively) and felt less optimistic about the future (p = .035). Conclusion: The study findings revealed finance and family conflict to be major socioeconomic risks of depression. The findings alert Chinese health providers to attend nonverbal signs (e.g., crying), ruminative thought patterns, and sleep problems for detecting depression and providing timely patient referrals to supportive care. They also suggested interventional strategies to reduce risks and symptoms of depression in Chinese cancer patients.

The centuriae from the praetentura sinistra of the fortress of legio V Macedonica from Potaissa (Turda, Cluj County) were excavated during 2012–2016 archaeological seasons. The stratigraphy of the Roman complex is affected by various late antique, medieval and modern destructions and interventions. In the following, archaeological material will be analysed from contexts dated to the Early Migration Period (5th–6th centuries) which overlap Barrack I. In addition to the rich archaeological material dated to the Roman period in the various sunken contexts reported (G1‑G6), as well as in the rubble level located on top of the collapsed tile roof of the Roman barracks, archaeological material dated to the Migration Period was also found. We publish here a Kreisaugen decorated bow fibula and 162 pottery fragments. The ceramic material is much diversified considering the production techniques and the vessel shapes. The majority of the pottery is made of fine clay, on the fast potter’s wheel, the second most popular production technique being the slow potter’s wheel, while pottery made by hand is present only at a negligible scale. The large variety of vessel shapes shows their intended function, and gives a glimpse into everyday life in this period. In conclusion, the 6th century AD dwelling structures and the common‑use pottery from the corresponding contexts and levels of habitation are added to the funerary finds and isolated artefacts discovered on the surface of the fortress to complete the habitation picture of the Migration Period.

La autoetnografia es un enfoque de investigacion y escritura que busca describir y analizar sistematicamente la experiencia personal con el fin de comprender la experiencia cultural. Esta aproximacion desafia las formas canonicas de hacer investigacion y de representar a los otros, a la vez que considera a la investigacion como un acto politico, socialmente justo y socialmente consciente. Para hacer y escribir autoetnografia, el investigador aplica los principios de la autobiografia y de la etnografia. Asi, como metodo, la autoetnografia es, a la vez, proceso y producto.
