Analysis of Permanent Magnet Material Influence on Eddy Current Braking Efficiency
Authors: M. Salman Ahmed , A.-K. Mohammed Jamal , M. Mohammed Farag
Published: July 2024

Traditional friction brakes can generate problems such as high braking temperature and pressure, cracking, and wear, leading to braking failure and user damage. Eddy current brake systems (contactless magnetic brakes) are one method used in motion applications. They are wear-free, less temperature-sensitive, quick, easy, and less susceptible to wheel lock, resulting in less brake failure due to the absence of physical contact between the magnet and disc. Important factors that can affect the performance of the braking system are the type of materials manufactured for the permanent magnets. This paper examines the performance of the permanent magnetic eddy current braking (PMECB) system. Different kinds of permanent magnets are proposed in this system to create eddy currents, which provide braking for the braking system is simulated using FEA software to demonstrate the efficiency of braking in terms of force production, energy dissipation, and overall performance findings demonstrated that permanent magnets consisting of neodymium, iron, and boron consistently provided the maximum braking effectiveness. The lowest efficiency is found in ferrite, which has the second-lowest efficiency behind samarium cobalt. This is because ferrite has a weaker magnetic field. Because of this, the PMECBS based on NdFeB magnets has higher power dissipation values, particularly at higher speeds.

Authors: Haron Nor Hafiza , Abd Samad Nor Hafiza , Mohd Zainudin Anis Juanita , Mahmod Ramlan , Hamzah Fatimah Bibi
Published: July 2024

With the proliferation of Open Access journals and the shift to online publishing, academic publishing has changed dramatically. The number of journals has expanded dramatically as the publishing business has evolved. There are currently more journals than ever before where authors can publish their work. With the numerous advantages of Open Access publication for both writers and readers, credible publishers are currently launching hundreds of new Open Access journals. However, as a result of their increased popularity, less respectable journals have emerged, abusing the author-pay model and jeopardizing the integrity of published research. Some journals, for example, may not feel obligated to follow the principles of good scientific practice, preferring to exploit the academic publication market only as a commercial model for the publishers. Authors are charged publication fees or article processing charges (APCs) by these publications, which are commonly referred to as "predatory journals," but they do not conduct peer reviews or other forms of quality control. The publication of research findings in such publications is not only detrimental to the writers involved but also undermines public trust in scientific research. As a result, this research aims to develop a system for detecting predatory journals which will guide researchers in evaluating a journal or publisher. The application will help users to identify predatory publications, as well as how to determine whether or not a journal is legitimate by checking databases such as SCOPUS. To accomplish the goal of this study, Beall's List and other lists of predatory publishers will be employed.

Published: July 2024

This article discusses the experience of jointly holdingan interdisciplinary seminar on the problem of HIV/AIDS of student scientific circles of the departments of infectious diseases and propaedeutics of internal medicine of the Dnieper State Medical University, which took place in one of the forms of interactive learning. First of all, it should be noted that the format of the event in online mode with the participation of teachers and students of two departments was adapted to the conditions of distance education in connection with the introduction of martial law in Ukraine as a result of military aggression by the russian federation and anti-epidemic restrictions against the background of the coronavirus disease pandemic (Covid-19). The indisputable advantage of this seminar was that this event was able to unite a significant number of students, both junior and senior year applicants for professional education in the specialty “Medicine”. The methodology for conducting this educational event combined both theoretical knowledge of this pathology and the application of acquired knowledge in practice during the presentation and discussion of clinical situational cases. Based on the results of the event, junior students identified an increase in motivation for a deeper study of morphological and propaedeutic disciplines, which are important and necessary steps for understanding clinical issues. For graduate students, conducting seminars in a similar format is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of fundamental basic subjects for a better understanding of clinical medicine. Taking into account the experience gained in interdisciplinary meetings of student scientific societies, we can confidently note that it is the increase in the activity of creative actions that leads to better assimilation of practical and theoretical educational material, which contributes to a positive attitude towards learning with increased motivation among applicants for professional highest education.

Difficulties of implementation of European standards in Ukrainian universities
Authors: ТАМАРКІНА O.Л. , БАЙДАК Л.І.
Published: July 2024

There is a growing focus on quality and standards around the world, driven by the rapid development of higher education and the rising cost of education for the state and people. Europe intends to realize its goal of becoming the most dynamic and intelligent economy in the world (Lisbon Strategy). New initiatives and requirements emerging both in Europe and beyond, in view of the internationalization of higher education, require an appropriate response. The formation of a quality assurance system based on common standards and guidelines indicates the emergence of a true European dimension in quality assurance, which should increase the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area. By joining the Bologna Process, Ukraine has committed itself to work on bringing the quality of national education in line with European standards. As European societies increasingly strive to become knowledge societies, higher education is an integral component of socio-economic and cultural development. At the same time, the growing demand for skills and competencies requires higher education to take new steps. Widening access to higher education is an opportunity for higher education institutions to absorb an increasingly diverse range of individual experiences. To respond to this diversity and rising expectations, higher education needs to be fundamentally transformed; it needs a more student-centered approach to learning and teaching that provides flexible learning pathways and recognizes competencies acquired outside of the formal curriculum. Higher education institutions are also becoming more diverse in their goals, delivery modes, and models of cooperation, with increasing internationalization, digital learning methods, and new forms of teaching. The quality assurance process significantly helps higher education systems and higher education institutions to respond to these changes, while ensuring that the qualifications students acquire and the higher education experience they receive remain the top priorities of educational institutions.

Published: July 2024

This study explored the narratives of teachers in challenging environment as they adopted information and communication technology (ICT) in their teaching and in learning how to develop in their craft in San Isidro District, Davao Oriental. There were ten (10) public elementary school teachers who participated in the study. This study made use of a phenomenological approach to extract the ideas of the participants. The virtual in-depth- interview was employed to gather some information as regards to their respective stories as they handled the sports activities during the non-face to face classes during the pandemic. Using the thematic analysis, the following themes emerged: the experiences of the teachers delved in the limited impact on quality of pedagogical instructions, negative perceptions of experiences and learning, and constraints in technology-related resources. The coping mechanism of the teachers were: refreshing and rejuvenating teaching skills, opportunity for retooling and reskilling, and appreciation of its accessibility, affordability, and flexibility. The insights drawn from the findings of the study were: Plan programs fit to non-face- to- face activities and less submission of video clips due to lack of gadgets and internet connectivity. They may continuously be creative in the utilization of the ICT in various classroom activities. The teachers may also be very vigilant in finding solutions to their problems and even seek information and clarifications to unburden themselves.

Published: July 2024

Sandy soil in Muncuk Karya, Ampenan, has low water retention and nutrient content, making it difficult for sticky rice farmers to meet their plants' water and nutrient needs. To overcome this challenge, research entitled "Optimizing Glutinous Corn Productivity through Demonstration Plots with the Application of Combined Organic Ameliorants" was carried out using an experimental methodology using a randomized block design involving five treatments and four replications, so that there were a total of 20 treatment plots. The treatments applied consisted of: A1 (50% cow manure + 50% mycorrhizal biofertilizer), A2 (50% compost + 50% mycorrhizal biofertilizer), A3 (50% fertile organic fertilizer + 50% mycorrhizal biofertilizer), A4 (50% rice husk charcoal + 50% mycorrhizal biofertilizer), and A5 (50% mixture of cow manure, compost, fertile organic fertilizer, and rice husk charcoal with a volume ratio of 1:1:1:1 + 50% mycorrhizal biofertilizer). The research results showed that the application of ameliorant, a combination of 50% cow manure and 50% mycorrhizal biofertilizer, was proven to be effective in increasing growth, plant productivity, soil nutrient concentration, plant nutrient uptake, and mycorrhizal development in the soil. To increase the productivity of sticky corn plants, soil fertility, plant nutrient uptake, and mycorrhiza development, it is recommended to use this combination ameliorant application.

A Review of Forensic Microbes in Crime Investigations
Authors: Pravallika Vataparthi , K Naga Jogayya. , Ampolu Satheesh , Bashar Sheerin
Published: July 2024

Advances in genetic sequencing technology, enhanced microbiological sample methods, and rapidly developing approaches in bioinformatics have all contributed to the meteoric emergence of microbiomics and metagenomics. Humans harbour vast microbial communities, both internally and outside, that are constantly exchanging information with and shaping their environs. These interactions may be crucial to forensics because information about them can be gleaned from human and environmental microbial profiles. Over the reports of hundred studies, as metagenome markers in forensic science is an emerging field of forensic science, microbiomes has a greater chance of becoming a specific tool kit for forensic science to provide answers for personal identification, cause and manner of death, interpretation of PMI and geolocation of a suspect or accused. Although the application of microbiomics to forensics has been extensively studied, most of its potential remains untapped because of insufficient sample numbers, inaccurate models, and unrepresentative experimental conditions. Law enforcement agencies are unlikely to benefit from the limited microbiomics data that is currently available. However, efforts are being made to find solutions to these problems, and evidence gleaned from the microbiome may one day aid in forensic investigations. Until more is learned about microbiomics, it is unlikely that this information will be useful to law enforcement. However, efforts are being made to find solutions to these problems, and it is possible that evidence gleaned from the microbiome can one day aid in forensic investigations.
Diseases Caused by Faulty Gene Expression. There are Several Hereditary Diseases that may be Entirely Cured if Detected and Treated Early Enough
Authors: Yongxia Dai , Bin Amir Hashim Nurul Azmir , . Suriyakala
Published: July 2024

Many genes and environmental factors often work together to cause a disease. The identification of significant genetic factors is useful for both medical (by aiding drug development and personalised therapy) and scientific (by shedding light on mechanistic and evolutionary aspects of illness) purposes. Linkage analysis (which joins loci that have a propensity to be inherited together) and association studies are two of the many genetic methods that have shown correlations between illnesses and particular sections of the genome (mapping correlation between alleles at different loci). Several hundreds of genes are examined in these types of studies, much too numerous to be tested experimentally as potential disease genes. The use of computer methods to assess the possibility of individual genes within a certain chromosomal area being disease genes is thus quite useful. Many diseases' susceptibilities have been demonstrated to a fair degree. changes in the rate at which genes are expressed in various cell types. In instance, if a gene or gene cluster is more common in sick individuals than in healthy people, it's likely that the gene plays a role in illness. Microarray studies were the major method for detecting the differences in expression levels.
Concept Mapping as Problem-Based Learning: Assessing its Effectiveness in Teaching-Learning Processes
Authors: Chunyan Song , Agarwal Nidhi , Islam Aminul
Published: July 2024

Whether they are students or working doctors, effective people in the medical field have knowledge structures that are made up of large, integrated frameworks of linked topics. Improving clinical problem- solving along with other higher-level cognitive functions is one of the many potential results of developing this knowledge foundation. Concept mapping is a technique that makes it possible to see how students conceptualise the ideas that constitute the basis of the knowledge they have been given. Concept maps are based on theories from the academic field of learning theory and may be used by students as a support aid when they solve problems (PBL). In problem-based learning (PBL) classrooms, students may draw concept maps that integrate fundamental scientific and social concepts in addition to PBL cases. In addition to promoting communication, detecting knowledge gaps, coming up with ideas for learning goals, stimulating application across disciplinary boundaries, and evaluating each student's progress, the usage of concept maps in PBL lessons may also be advantageous. Concept mapping may also be useful for students in other PBL contexts, such as large-scale seminar discussion and team-based learning settings. Students may get a deeper understanding of the relationships between different concepts and the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) case that is being examined by using these kinds of PBL settings. The creation of reliable, validity-evidenced tools is one of the challenges preventing idea mapping from being widely used in medical education.

Survey collected demographic, psychosocial, and allergic data from 108 food allergy sufferers (85% female; 18-87). Following that, participants completed a two-week online diary survey on stress, mood, and energy and a 25-item food allergy checklist (based on iii Study 1) throughout the day. Daily polls show widespread allergies. Food allergies, the cost of avoiding particular foods, the anxiety of food safety concerns, the difficulty of maintaining a balanced diet, and the pressure of social activities centred on food were all issues. Allergy days increased stress and negativity, according to multilevel studies. Seniors were less energetic on allergy days. Rural and suburban communities frequently do better than smaller cities. Character may affect food allergy management. This study supports the first's results While food allergy rates are rising, little is known about its practical effects. This research sought to identify food allergy sufferers' issues, measure how much they affect daily life, explore how demographic and psychological factors affect food allergies, and devise solutions to help them. Study 1's qualitative results informed Study 2's quantitative findings. (2). The first research examined dietary allergies and health-related quality of life. Focus groups with four demographics helped researchers understand food allergy problems. Lifelong consumer susceptibility. Vulnerability depended on demographics, food allergy awareness, prejudice and stigma, pricing and availability of allergen-free choices, food label clarity, and restaurant wait staff skill (external conditions). The second research examined how much food allergy symptoms affected daily living (in terms of stress, mood, and energy levels). An online on food allergy prevalence and stress.
Class mobilisation and class consciousness in the British strike wave of 2022–23
Authors: White Jonathan
Published: July 2024

For a brief period, the British strike wave of 2022-23, which broke out during the inflationary surge and subsequent ‘cost of living crisis’, both reflected and enabled the articulation of a heightened level of class consciousness, given expression by the left of the trade union movement. The widespread collapse in living standards interacted with the longerterm weakening of consumption-based identities in the wake of the financial crash, and the manifest profiteering of big business, to create a moment where it was possible for union leaderships to describe the strike wave and the plight of working people in terms of a class struggle. The longer-term legacy of this moment is yet to become clear.
Lenin’s lessons
Authors: Prashad Vijay
Published: July 2024

Few Marxists left behind the kind of legacy associated with Lenin. Not only did Lenin build a vital theoretical arsenal, but he led his party through the revolutions of 1917 and towards the building of the Soviet Union. His landmark elaborations of Marxism include the development of the concept of the worker-peasant alliance, the sharp understanding of inter-imperialist conflict and militarism, the particularly important advancement of the idea of the right of nations to self-determination, and the important characterisation of the simultaneous need to fight for national sovereignty and for a socialist project. At the centre of these important theoretical breakthroughs is Lenin’s formidable assessment of socialist consciousness and the importance of a vanguard party. The ideas of praxis are to be found most centrally in Lenin’s Where to Begin (1901), What Is to Be Done? (1902) and Twelve Years (1907). This article introduces Lenin’s work, with a special focus on Lenin’s idea of the party and his advice to those who want to build a socialist society.
Cosmic-Ray Transport in the Presence of a Fisk-type Heliospheric Magnetic Field: Investigating the Influence of Drift
Authors: Troskie J. S. , Engelbrecht N. E. , Steyn P. J.
Published: July 2024

Drifts due to the gradients in, and curvatures of, the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) play a significant role in the transport of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) in the heliosphere. Although this has been well studied for the Parker HMF, the influence of Fisk-type fields, with their unique geometry, has hitherto received less attention. Here, drift velocity profiles computed for a Schwadron–Parker hybrid field are compared with those for a purely Parkerian field. Furthermore, the influence of this field on GCR modulation, as computed with a 3D, ab initio, modulation model, is investigated. Globally, the differences between the computed intensities are small. Nevertheless, local measures, such as azimuthal variations in the GCR intensities, show a significant influence of the Schwadron–Parker hybrid field on GCR transport.
Preliminary Study of Dark-matter-dominated Systems: Further Analysis for Galactic Dark Matter Halos with Pressure
Authors: Aceña A. , Barranco J. , Bernal A. , López E. , Llerena M.
Published: July 2024

Low-surface-brightness galaxies are excellent laboratories, where stars and baryonic matter act as tracers of the gravitational potential of the dark matter halo. If dark matter is modeled as a perfect fluid, then spherically symmetric and static dark matter halos in hydrostatic equilibrium demand that dark matter should have an intrinsic pressure that counteracts the gravitational attraction that the dark matter halo exerts on itself. This static fluid (a dark-matter-dominated system, where the presence of baryons is negligible) has a specific equation of state for each rotational velocity profile of the stars in galaxies. In this work, we study the dark matter equation of state needed for the self-gravitating object to produce a gravitational potential such that the tracers follow the universal rotational velocity profile for stars of spiral galaxies proposed by Persic et al. and analyze the properties of the self-gravitating structures that emerge from this equation of state. The resulting configurations explaining the observed rotational speeds are found to be unstable. We conclude that the halo is not in hydrostatic equilibrium, it is nonspherically symmetric, or it is not static if the universal velocity profile should be valid for fitting the rotational velocity curve of the galaxies.
Le CV projectif commenté : entre écriture normée et accompagnement formatif
Authors: Mourlhon-Dallies Florence
Published: July 2024

Est ici présenté le dispositif de rédaction progressive d’un CV projectif (qui anticipe l’avenir à dix ans) expérimenté en master de didactique des langues. Cet entraînement à la maîtrise des normes d’écritures figées du CV a été conçu pour amener les étudiants à affiner leur projet professionnel. Dans ce but, on a opéré sur plusieurs fronts entrecroisés : conseils entre pairs en début de séance, courriels, retours par fichiers audio enregistrés. La majeure partie des appuis proposés repose sur des échanges à la marge des cours ou hors cours, par le biais de formats de communication qui ne sont pas forcément reconnus comme formatifs par l’institution académique. L’analyse des discours tenus montre l’importance d’un suivi souple et peu formel, déployé sur du temps long ; l’accompagnement, qui est une notion prégnante en sciences de l’éducation, est ainsi caractérisé, au plan discursif, au moyen d’une analyse qui en objective les marqueurs linguistiques en prenant appui sur l’analyse du discours de tradition française.
Une rythmanalyse des discours de formation : un chemin de professionnalisation
Authors: Demont Guillaume
Published: July 2024

La formation professionnelle a pour visée la professionnalisation de celui qui la suit. Celle-ci passe aussi, ou surtout, par le discours : l’entrée dans la communauté discursive des professionnels laisse des marques dans le discours qui permettent au locuteur d’être reconnu comme pair par les autres. L’une des hypothèses de départ à notre recherche est que cette « professionnalisation discursive » est portée par l’expression de la temporalité : le rapport au temps du novice diffèrerait de celui du professionnel. Le rapport à l’urgence, au projet et au passé, la synchronisation de son rythme personnel avec celui de son environnement et de ses outils, etc., toutes ces temporalités professionnelles se construiraient pendant la période de professionnalisation, donc de formation. Pour vérifier cette hypothèse, nous avons réuni un corpus d’écrits de formation d’Accompagnants Éducatifs et Sociaux (AES) et élaboré une méthode d’analyse des temporalités en discours intitulée Rythmanalyse des discours. Ces analyses montrent qu’il existe cinq étapes de construction de l’identité professionnelle du sujet en formation : l’informité, la singularisation de la pratique, la concrétisation de la pratique, la critique et la personnalisation de la pratique. La mise au jour de ces cinq étapes nous permet de penser des applications concrètes concernant les écrits de la formation et l’accompagnement à ces écrits d’une part, et le développement de la professionnalité d’autre part.
Analyse des « moments informels » et de leur rôle dans l’apprentissage du geste professionnel dans les métiers de la Propreté
Authors: Royer Sabrina
Published: July 2024

La présente contribution s’intéresse à l’importance des moments informels dans les échanges d’apprentissage professionnel et à leur influence sur l’apprentissage d’un métier. Après un cadrage théorique sur la notion d’informalité dans les interactions, nous proposons de présenter comment les interactions informelles entre pairs permettent de co-construire l’activité professionnelle. Cette recherche se base sur un corpus d’analyse de situations d’apprentissage dans un atelier d’Hygiène et Propreté en lycée professionnel. Nous montrons comment ces moments informels font en effet le lien entre les connaissances apprises avec l’enseignant et l’expérience de la première pratique professionnelle et peuvent à ce titre être conçus comme des temps de formation à part entière.

L’article s’intéresse à des dispositifs de formation pour des apprenants, étudiants et élèves. À travers deux études de cas, l’une située dans un Centre de ressources en langues (CRL) en contexte universitaire et l’autre dans un collège, l’article illustre comment l’entretien centré sur les normes et les valeurs des apprenants augmente les effets de ces dispositifs en enrichissant les manières d’agir des accompagnants et en permettant aux apprenants de comprendre leur activité. Guidés par le formateur, les apprenants cartographient l’environnement normatif dans lequel ils évoluent puis la manière dont ils l’éprouvent en situation. La mise en tension de ces deux plans permet de faire émerger l’activité d’un point de vue ergologique et sert de levier pour leur développement (Schwartz 2000). Ce processus ambitionne d’enrichir la professionnalité des éducateurs en potentialisant les effets de leur accompagnement sur le développement des apprenants. Il permet aux uns et aux autres de redécouvrir leur activité, contribuant ainsi à leur transformation réciproque.
Imperatives and non-imperative command strategies in Western Oromo
Authors: Girma Mengistu Desta
Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the forms and functions of imperative constructions and other non-imperative command strategies in the western variety of Oromo. It describes the morphological realizations of the second person and third person imperative main and dependent verbs, both in affirmative and negative paradigms. It also examines the structure of other non-imperative constructions used for directive speech acts, based on data collected from a web text corpus, native speakers and secondary sources. The analysis shows that the second person imperative is the simplest of all verb forms in Western Oromo. Unlike the third person imperative and other verb forms, it does not occur with any of the aspect markers. The anterior converb marker, third person direct and indirect object markers, and the first person pronominal subject clitic are grammatical morphemes that are compatible with both second person and third person imperative constructions. Imperative constructions are mainly used for commands and warnings, but can also be used for other speech acts, such as blessings, curses, farewells, and suggestions. Commands and warnings can alternatively be expressed through negative interrogatives and insubordinate clauses. Animal-directed commands are expressed by interjections.
From the South: Exhibiting Architectural History
Authors: Parra Michael Andrés Forero
Published: July 2024

In 1983, the Museum of Modern Art in Bogotá established its Department of Architecture, a curatorial unit that was active until 1995. During that time, twenty exhibitions were presented, and eight of them were monographic shows. While at the start, the department focused on European architects, later on, more emphasis was placed on Colombian architecture. This emphasis echoed two significant events in Latin American architectural culture: first, the Seminars of Latin American Architecture, and second, the editorial series SomoSur. These two events encouraged exhibitions with a strong commitment to study, present, and celebrate Colombian architecture from diverse architectural traditions. Through archival research and interviews, this paper examines the intellectual reverberations between seminars, publications, and exhibitions. It highlights the use of monographic exhibitions and how they were channels for the continuous flow of ideas in the construction of Colombian architectural history.
Presenting Korea. Two Architecture Exhibitions at the Korean Pavilion for the Venice Biennale in 1996 and 2014
Authors: Lee Hyunah
Published: July 2024

Le pavillon coréen de la Biennale de Venise est le dernier pavillon national dans les Giardini, construit en 1995. Pourtant, il s’agit de la plus ancienne plateforme durable pour l’architecture coréenne, malgré son existence à l’étranger. Cet article explore deux expositions d’architecture majeures qui se sont tenues au pavillon coréen en 1996 et 2014. La première fut la première exposition d’architecture au pavillon et une introduction importante de l’architecture coréenne à un public international lors de la Biennale. Parallèlement, elle est restée obscure et négligée dans les discussions nationales coréennes. La seconde exposition a remporté le premier Lion d’or de toute l’histoire du pavillon, présentant les architectures de la Corée du Sud et de la Corée du Nord, et répondant à l’ambition initiale du pavillon conçu en 1995. En couvrant l’histoire globale, le texte examine le parcours paradoxal du pavillon coréen, qui a commencé avec un bâtiment dominant tous les contenus qu’il contenait et qui a évolué vers une harmonisation de ses expositions pour résonner avec sa propre histoire ainsi qu’avec le contexte de la Biennale de Venise. Ce faisant, le texte discute de la politique culturelle inhérente à la Biennale et de son influence sur la représentation et le développement de la culture et de l’identité locales.
Attentio infima. Prière et attention virtuelle chez Thomas d’Aquin et Francisco Suárez
Authors: Dubouclez Olivier
Published: July 2024

Cet article étudie le problème de l’attention oratoire tel qu’il a été formulé et transmis dans la théologie médiévale : si une attention continuelle est humainement impossible et si la dégradation de notre attention est inévitable, comment assurer la valeur morale et religieuse de la prière ? La notion d’attention virtuelle est une réponse à ce problème, permettant de penser une certaine permanence de l’attention au sein même des distractions. Dans ces pages, on se concentre sur la mise en place de cette notion chez Thomas d’Aquin et sur son développement plus systématique chez Francisco Suárez ; on étudie aussi comment cette notion a pu favoriser un laxisme moral ou au contraire soutenir une exigence de concentration et de constance.
Early Dilmun Burial Mounds in Bahrain: the Wâdî al-Sail Archaeological Project and the Dilmun Mapping Project
Authors: Abe Masashi , Uesugi Akinori
Published: July 2024

This paper overviews the results of archaeological research by the Japanese mission on the Early Dilmun burial mound sites. The archaeological research on Early Dilmun burial mounds in Bahrain has a history of more than 100 years. Excavations of a number of burial mounds, including 'Royal Mounds', have revealed different aspects of the mortuary and burial practice of the Early Dilmun period and the emergence of a complex society on Bahrain Island. However, there are many issues to be discussed with different approaches; how the mortuary practices changed through time, how the distribution pattern of burial mounds changed through time, how the social organization can be approached from burial mounds, and so on. The Dilmun Mapping Project run by Akinori Uesugi, one of the authors of this paper, focuses on the distribution pattern of burial mounds and the formation process of extensive cemeteries. The Wâdî Al-Sail Archaeological Project led by Masashi Abe has been revealing the mortuary and burial practice of the Early phase of the Early Dilmun period, which was not so well understood before. In addition, Wâdî Al-Sail provides an important clue for considering the origins of Dilmun.
