Authors: Dr. K. Balachandran
Published: November 2022

Animals are the part and parcel of human life so in literature. Indian authors in most of the languages have represented different kinds of animals sometimes in negative and other time in positive ways. In literature it has been seen that most of the genres have represented animals in different forms. Various names of studies are prevalent related to animal studies. Anthropocentrism studies human beings as the center of the whole universe. It deciphers the importance of other creators in the universe. Ecocentrism studies nature and environment as the key to life on the Earth. Animals like, cow, horse, buffalo, tigers, bird, dog, cat, elephant, pig, bull, dear sheep, calf and many more have been represented since the emergence of literary practices. This paper aims to provide a brief note on how animals have been represented in the poetic expressions.
Literature and Culture: A Survey of Ruskin Bond’s Works in Special Context to the Present World
Authors: Dr. Gaurav Agrawal
Published: November 2022

The most ancient and the mother of almost every culture of the world, Indian culture has been immortal with its traditional entity. It is the purest one with its refined traits and inside it; there lies love, respect and egoless personality. Basic elements of it have been inspiring and combining not only Indians but the foreigners also. In spite of the diversity, whole India is a unity because of its common culture and that is why when the ancient cultures and civilizations of the world e.g., Greek, Egyptian and Rome have perished but Indian culture and civilization is intact even today. Behind Indian culture there are major features such as the spirit of deism, coordination, unity in diversity, ancientness, and benevolence and these are life-giving elements that calm us down and assure us to withstand the attack of post modern mechanized culture. History tells that the imbibing power of Indian culture is employed under its currents, either trying to make itself most beautiful or battling and defeating inner or outer foes. Today the whole world is accepting the greatness of Indian culture, besides many causes, contributions of many philosophers and ideologists are also appreciable in its publicity and dissemination. Classical writers like Kalidas, Shudrak, Bhas, Shri Harsh etc. have disclosed the culture of the golden era of India in their works; for in the shadow of literature, features of particular age are hidden. Later a long series of the writers of regional languages have echoed and expanded the Indian way of living, thinking, and behavior, according to their own style. Anglo-Indian literature is also not spared this particular subject and many writers are contributing in spreading Indian culture throughout the world. Ruskin Bond is one of the shiniest stars in this galaxy and his whole literature is based on ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ ideology. The present paper is an endeavour to evaluate Ruskin Bond as a writer and a Culturist.

The Withering of Our Hill World: Critiques of Globalization and Modernization in the Eco-conscious Poetry of the North-East
Authors: Debasis Samaddar
Published: November 2022

This article explores the searing critiques of globalization, modernization and industrialization in the eco-conscious poetry of North Eastern India through an ecocritical analysis of selected poems of Saratchand Thiyamand others. In celebrating the ecological glory of their region, these poets criticize modernization, urbanization, industrialization and irresponsible human behaviour that are continually ravaging the biodiversity and ecosystem of their land. The poets are playing an important role in raising eco-consciousness and eco-sensibility not only among the people of their own region but also in the wider world. The people of the North East revere nature and depict it in their literatures. Although in the arena of world literature the concept of eco-consciousness is a relatively modern phenomenon, a deep sensibility for nature and a harmonious inter-relationship between man and the environment can be seen in the literature of the North East. The eco-centric lifestyle of the people of this region is reflected through their oral or written literature.

Authors: Dr. D. P. Digole
Published: November 2022

The present paper intends to offer a critical reading of Hamid Dalwai's celebrated novel Indhan (1965) as “a critique of Muslim orthodoxy and inter-communal tensions”. This classic Marathi narrative has acquired the status of pan-Indian masterpiece after its brilliant English translation under the title Fuel by the renowned translator Dilip Chitre (1938-2009).The novel offers a deeply perceptive view of small-town life in rural Konkan and the emerging inter-communal tensions. The references to key historical events and time-markers in the narration help in contextualizing this novel in larger perspective and making it a pan-Indian masterpiece deserving to be placed among the immortal literary classics like Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan, Amrita Pritam’s Pinjar (1956), Bhisham Sahni’s Tamas (1973), Chaman Nahal’s Azadi (1975).
Masking and Unmasking: A Study of Girish Karnad’s The Fire and the Rain
Authors: Mrityunjoy Mondal
Published: November 2022

Girish Karnad was a versatile genius. He was a prolific Kannada writer, a brilliant playwright, a fantastic actor, a talented film director and a meritorious scholar. His long stay in Europe has confirmed him that the Western theatre has nothing to provide him. Therefore, in search of a new mode of expression, he has used ancient Indian myths and history to represent the contemporary issues. The Fire and the Rain is one of the most successful drama of Karnad. In this drama, Karnad has made a brilliant and innovative use of mask. In Indian dramatic culture, masks were used frequently to represent the dramatic characters. But in The Fire and the Rain, mask is both a stage-prop as well as an important tool for the dramatist, by which he has successfully been able to expose the brahminical society. In this paper I will focus on how Girish Karnad has used the mask to unmask the upper-caste Brahmins.
Deconstructive Features of Culture and Natural Instinct in Jhumpa Lahiri’s Short Stories “Interpreter of Maladies” and “Sexy”: A Criticism of the Values of Life
Authors: Somnath Shankhari
Published: November 2022

Jhumpa Lahiri in her collection of short stories, “The Interpreter of Maladies”, has accentuated on the multifarious level of complexities that ooze along the repository of feelings and emotions of an individual, in a subterraneous manner. Two short stories of the book, namely “The Interpreter of Maladies” and “Sexy” unveil the lack of contentment, frustrations and craving for a harmoniously reciprocal relationship amongst the protagonists, who through their life struggle, sometimes prioritizes the culture with its prevalent ideals, while on the other hand instinctively let their individualities float on the intrinsic urge to follow the passionate longing for a natural instincts. Derrida's deconstruction deals with the tactics of decentering as well as subverting the privileged term in favour of the prominence of the marginalized one, and thereby promoting a free play of dominance of both the central and repressed ideas and meanings without having a hierarchy. Now, in both the above mentioned stories, conforming to the features of deconstruction the prime characters show their allegiance to the dominant cultural ethics, notions, values, ideas, customs and behaviour, but an instinctive, repressed personal yearning for the affinity with a more compatible and considerate partner, which remains subterraneous in their psyche and constantly strives to possess the centre of their instrumental impetuses of life.
The Problematics of Ideological Construction and Repressive Interpellation of Caste in Bama’s Karukku
Authors: Dr. Aarti Vishwakarma
Published: November 2022

The problem of caste in India is supposed to have commenced from the division of the Indian society into Varna system in the ancient times. It led to the marginalization of the people of Shudra Varna to the level of untouchability, discrimination, poverty, subjugation, subordination and exploitation. In the caste system, that was, and is, categorised as the upper caste and the lower caste-- the two fractions that emerged after the Independence of India, many people of the upper caste became so antagonistic into their treatment of the people of lower caste that they designed a system of ‘power’ and ‘control’, both ideological and repressive, in order to exert their hegemony over them and dominate the consciousness of these people for the perpetuation of their privilege, authority and rule. The writings by Dalit authors, in the post-Independence era, have posed a resistance against this ideological and repressive structure of India society that enforces the people of the lower caste to accept their lot of being born to be ruled by the upper caste people. This resistance has been voiced through candour and boldness into the ‘life narratives’ of many Dalit authors. This article seeks to explore these designs and structures of ideological formations of the caste system and its repressive interpellation in the Indian society through the autobiography of Bama, Karukku.
heuristic inquiry into the transformative potential of optimal sexuality within a relational context
Authors: Hellyer Jacqueline
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to explore transpersonal dimensions of sexuality, in particular the transformative potential of sexuality. Heuristic inquiry (Moustakas, 1990) was chosen as the research methodology. Six couples who self-identified as having an optimal sexuality were interviewed to discover their individual and joint experiences of sexuality and their sense of transformation. The data was examined and developed into individual, exemplary and composite depictions, the latter of which is presented here as the results. The results show two general themes of transformation: (1) a sense of sexual evolution, and (2) a sense of before and after transformation. In addition, there were a range of transformations in the three areas of (1) personal, (2) relational and (3) sexual transformation. While they interrelate and it was not possible to clearly differentiate them, all co-researchers felt that the sexual area contributed to the personal and relational. The discussion in this report interprets the results through a transpersonal lens in three ways: (1) How this type of sexuality is experienced as a dyadic, movement-based, embodied, mindfulness practice, (2) how it cultivates vital energy, and (3) how it forms part of a participatory spirituality. Scope for further research into transpersonal sexology is also identified.
‘What Would Denis Have Done?’ A Critical Reflection Upon 2020’s Rapid and Obligatory Transition to Remote Delivery
Authors: James Nick
Published: November 2022

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced law schools to rapidly transition to remote delivery of their programs and to place a greater emphasis upon technology-enhanced learning. Those legal academics who were unfamiliar with this method of delivery were obliged to very quickly develop their digital skills to facilitate this transition. The outcomes of this transition were mixed: while most law schools managed to continue to deliver their programs during the pandemic, student feedback about the quality of the remote delivery was not always positive. Nevertheless, the emphasis upon remote delivery and technology-enhanced learning is likely to continue and even increase in the coming years. In this paper I interrogate the assumption that the rapid and obligatory transition to remote delivery that took place because of the pandemic will form a stable basis for further development of digital skills by legal academics. Drawing upon the notion of academic resistance as well as the well-known distinctions between surface and deep approaches to learning and intrinsic and extrinsic student motivation, I argue that the impact of the rapid and obligatory transition to remote delivery upon academic motivation, morale, and freedom exposes law schools to the risk that, without mindful intervention, the quality of technology-enhanced learning in law schools will be lower than optimal.

Authors: Simão Andréia Aparecida , Pinto Almeida Maria De Lourdes
Published: November 2022

Esse artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre a formação de professores no contexto brasileiro a partir de aspectos históricos e teórico-contextuais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e qualitativa, na qual se articula dois procedimentos de investigação: pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa documental. Os documentos são: Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação - LDB (1996); Parâmetros Nacionais Curriculares – PCNs (1997); Lei 13005/2014 - Plano Nacional de Educação 2014 a 2024 – PNE (2014); Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC (2021) e; Educação um tesouro a descobrir: relatório para a Unesco da Comissão Internacional sobre Educação para o século XXI (Delors, 1998). Os resultados mostram que o professor, no âmbito de sua formação está implicado: a) no entremeio das relações sociais e do trabalho pela instrução e educação; b) em uma formação onde a prática se torna ponto efetivo de hegemonia; c) em relação a sua totalidade existencial-profissional, no movimento do trabalho vivo.
Deslizamentos nos modos de exclusão e a emergência do capacitismo
Authors: Hickel Neusa , Mörschbächer Juliana Silveira
Published: November 2022

Este ensaio discute a construção das categorias de anormalidade/normalidade a partir das quais se constituem e se validam práticas segregacionistas. Utilizamos para tal análise o referencial teórico de Michel Foucault em diálogo com o conto O alienista, de Machado de Assis. Tais conceitos se imbricam com a história da loucura e da educação especial. As práticas classificatórias são compreendidas como um modo de assinalar quem pode ou não circular socialmente. Nesse contexto, evidencia-se o capacitismo como preconceito contra as pessoas com deficiência, sendo produzido a partir da comparação com os corpos considerados capazes de atender aos atuais modos de produção capitalista. Essa construção social da incapacidade é tomada como verdade e se presentifica no contexto escolar através da exclusão de alunos com deficiência, encaminhados para espaços segregados. Michel Foucault aponta para as estruturas sociais que se reiteram por deslizamento nos modos e nas formas, sendo necessário que se criem brechas nesses discursos para que a produção de diferença possa emergir.

Published: November 2022

Respiratory infection (RTI) is one of the leading factors of death in children in India. In most countries, RTI is a common cause of hospitalisation in children under five years old. There are different guidelines for management of various type of RTI. Most of these, emphasis on use of antibiotics in specific sub type of RTI. While literatures recommend avoiding antibiotic in viral infections, they mostly suggest beta lactams as first line drugs. Depends on patients, amoxicillin remains drug of choice for most of out-patients. In case of hypersensitivity to penicillin, cephalosporin commonly will be substituent. If specific and atypical organism found, need to switch to other type such as macrolides. In this research, we aimed to briefly review current guidelines and literatures regarding antibiotic selection in paediatrics suffering from different type of respiratory tract infection.

Agro e biodiversidade na agricultura familiar: potencial de diversificação e conservação em paisagens desmatadas na Amazônia
Authors: De Souza Valdânia Da Conceição , De Oliveira Renata Evangelista , Sais Adriana Cavalieri
Published: November 2022

Conservação da biodiversidade, restauração florestal e redução do desmatamento são demandas prementes da sociedade brasileira. No Portal da Amazônia, fronteira agrícola inserida no Arco do Desmatamento, são urgentes estratégias que garantam produção agrícola com permanência de agricultores familiares, aliadas à redução do desmatamento e conservação da agro e biodiversidade. Esta pesquisa traz um olhar multidisciplinar para os quintais agroflorestais, em 19 comunidades, em dois municípios. Identificamos as espécies agrícolas e florestais cultivadas, seus principais usos e potenciais para produção de alimentos, diversificação da produção, geração de renda e uso e conservação de espécies florestais nativas em 44 quintais. Trabalhamos também com a espacialização da riqueza de espécies, pensando a paisagem dos dois municípios. Foram identificadas 201 espécies, com diversos usos potenciais. Dessas, 48% geram renda a partir de várias fontes de comercialização já estabelecidas, nos dois municípios. A escolha de espécies a serem cultivadas (com alta diversidade, baixa similaridade entre quintais, uso frequente de espécies exclusivas e implantação de espécies florestais nativas), aliada ao potencial uso dessas espécies para consumo e comercialização, denotam a importância dos quintais para a diversificação produtiva, alimentar e de renda para a agricultura familiar. Os números de riqueza e a distribuição espacial dos quintais demonstram que a diversificação em escala local (propriedade rural) implica em diversificação na escala regional (município). Os resultados indicam aceitação do modelo como sistema de produção, para além dos sistemas simplificados usuais em áreas desmatadas da Amazônia. Pode-se apontá-los como espaços biodiversos por decisão de seus mantenedores, que diversificam a produção, favorecem a conservação de espécies florestais nativas e contribuem para o desenvolvimento e conservação da agro e biodiversidade na região. Conclui-se que podem ser implementados como novos sistemas produtivos no Portal da Amazônia, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento local e regional, gerando benefícios ecológicos, econômicos e sociais.

Published: November 2022

Polymeric microspheres enclosing an extremely porous surface are termed as microsponges. Microsponges are drug loaded microporous beads having 10-25 micron diameter. These may augment stability, ease side effects and amend drug release. Microsponge systems have capability to capture ample drug substances and are then formulated into various products like gel, cream, liquid or powder. Several research studies corroborated that microsponge entities possess non-irritant, non-mutant, non-allergic and non-toxicity features. Suitable analytical techniques for characterization of microsponges can be illustrated for suitable characteristic properties such as thickness, particle size and its distribution, surface and pore properties. Many problems such as repulsive odor, greasiness and skin exasperation are resolved by MDDS (microsponge drug delivery system). MDDS generates prolonged release and site specific action. In this review article, a concise outline of MDDS covering the principle, methods of formulation and characterization have been discussed. Microsponge delivery system (MDS) is primarily utilized for topical and oral formulations but it is also being explored for cosmetic formulations.

A Study on the School Culture and Teaching Methods that Elementary School Teachers Consider Important
Authors: Kim Sahoon
Published: November 2022

There are many predictions of how education will change in the future. In particular, the impact of technological and social change will make schools look different than they are today. Schools are expected to perform various functions in the future, and their forms and functions will differ from those of today. This study is mainly composed of two research contents. The first is about the school culture that teachers consider important in the future school, and the second is about the teaching-learning method suitable for the future. In this study, a survey was conducted on 81 elementary school teachers from February to April 2022. Data collection was conducted online. A total of 73 data were analyzed, excluding data judged to be insincere among respondents. The results are as follow. First, the most important thing for teachers to recognize is to operate a competency-oriented curriculum and set educational goals suitable for the future society. In addition, the most important teaching and learning methods of future schools recognized by teachers were student-student interaction, discussion-centered classes, and student-centered classes. Meanwhile, according to teachers, education using smart devices showed relatively low importance compared to other questions. Since this result is limited to elementary school students, it is necessary to interpret it carefully.

Published: November 2022

Background/purpose: English language plays an important role in Afghanistan higher education. Proficiency in English as the language of communication is becoming progressively important for the development of higher education. However, speaking in English is one of the anxiety provoking skills for most of Afghan learners. This study therefore aims to investigate Afghanistan undergraduate English and literature students’ perceptions on foreign language speaking anxiety, and its components of communication apprehension (CA), fear of negative evaluation (FNE) and test anxiety (TA). Method: An adapted version of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and an interview protocol were used to investigate 302 Afghan students’ foreign language anxiety. Results/conclusion: The findings suggested that the students experienced a moderate level of anxiety. The female students had higher level of foreign language anxiety (FLA) than male students. The study further revealed that CA was the highest factor which contribute to students’ FLCAS. The study found no statistically significant differences between the university location and components of FLA. This means that the students either from Kabul as the capital or from Bamyan as a central province experienced FLA. Furthermore, the components of FLA significantly correlated to each other. The findings suggest facilitating short and long-term training for both teachers and students to employ effective strategies on reducing the level of anxiety in English language classes.

A Study on Performance of IPO (Initial Public offering) with Special Reference to Selected Companies at BSE
Authors: N Anil Kumar , K Dr. Ravi Kumar
Published: November 2022

Debt and/or equity are two ways that corporations and government entities raise money. The primary market can be used by unlisted companies to issue shares through an initial public offering (IPO). These businesses have the chance to grow, diversify, and expand with stronger long-term business prospects. An investor who owns shares from an IPO may view it as a short-term speculative opportunity or as a long-term chance to generate big dividends and capital gains. In India, initial public offerings (IPOs) or public issues have grown in popularity as a means of obtaining capital. These initial public offerings (IPOs) have an erratic performance over time, and previous investors who invested in them have suffered significant losses. While IPOs provide noticeable returns on the day of listing, they often perform poorly over the long run. This essay evaluates how Indian companies' operational performance changes following their initial public offerings (IPOs). If a performance metric like "profit" is normalized by sales volumes (i.e., return on sales) rather than assets (i.e., return on assets), it is discovered that there is no worsening in the operating performance post-IPO. This paper discovers a steady return on sales, in contrast to a clear fall in return on assets observed in comparable other studies. The importance of selecting the appropriate variables for matching and normalization purposes is emphasized in the paper.
Improving the Ability to Write Argumentation Texts of Students of Class Xi (Eleven) SMA Negeri 3 Gorontalo City Through a Project Based Learning Model
Authors: Hanipah Heni
Published: November 2022

The study's goal is to find out how Public School No. 3 Gorontalo's eleventh-grade history students would fare if they were taught using the Problem Based Learning Model. In this study, triangulation is employed both as a source of information and as a tool for gathering data. The analysis procedures utilized herein are both qualitative and quantitative in nature. The use of the issue based learning approach in SMAN 3 Kota Gorontalo resulted in an increase in motivation to study up to 85% by the third stage, and in achievement at every phase. There was an increase in first-step performance from 49.5% to 75.5%. Step two saw a rise, going from 53 to 81. The third increment was an increase from 60 to 83. Challenges to implementing the Problem Based Learning Model include, but are not limited to, students' initial lack of familiarity with the approach, classrooms that are too full, and students who cannot work together effectively. Students are more engaged in the learning process, students' abilities are fine-tuned, students can develop collaboration within the group, to generate a spirit of rivalry between groups, and teachers can easily see students' knowledge of the content while using a Problem Based Learning Model
Comparative Study of Some Numerical Schemes for a Fractional Order Model of HIV Infection Treatment
Authors: Ferrari A. J. , Lara L. P. , Olguin M. C. , Santillan Marcus E. A.
Published: November 2022

A fractional order mathematical model that already exists in the literature, was considered. This model was established to study the effects of medicinal treatment in people infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The importance of this study is that the model evaluates, among other parameters, the density of healthy and HIV-infected CD4+ T cells. These data are very necessary for the subject infected by the virus given the effects that an antiretroviral treatment causes in it. The objective of this work is to consider several numerical schemes that involve fractional derivatives in order to compare their behaviors and to obtain a good approximation of the mentioned model solution. Convergence of these schemes will be studied as well as sensitivity with respect to the variation of the parameters η (drug efficacy) and α (fractional derivative order). Furthermore, through the collection of medical records of people living with HIV, it is intended to determine the optimal fractional derivative order for the model and to compare it with the classical model.

The FORCLIME supported the Provincial Forest Management System in West Kalimantan province and local stakeholders in fire prevention from 2017 to 2020. It empowered Forest Management Unit personnel to become competent facilitators, and to use technical approaches adapted from successful experiences that incorporated local innovations. Alongside fire prevention, the programme promoted dialogue with communities and assistance for them to establish permanent agriculture and agroforestry as a means of reducing the use of fire to clear land, which is the main cause of wildfires and smoke pollution. This article summarize lessons learned from this programme and offers recommendations for fire prevention in Indonesia and beyond.

Published: November 2022

By including local knowledge, integrated fire management is sustaining an ancestral practice for reducing forest fires and conserving ecosystems. In private areas, however, it is necessary to develop programmes that include land owners, and to evaluate ways of expanding the proposed system. Reintroducing integrated fire management in the Cerrado has brought new tools and technologies that improve planning and implementation. Investment in research and development must be continuous, in order to advance technologically, and to train technicians, traditional communities and land owners. And it remains essential to reconcile new technologies and methodologies with traditional knowledge about fire management
Wildlife management in Brazilian wildfires: a One Health approach
Authors: Koproski Letícia , Mangini Paulo Rogerio
Published: November 2022

Despite the clear threats from wildfires to biodiversity, until recently wildlife has not been seen as a priority in fire management. In Brazil, before 2000 there was no specific legislation to protect wild animals from the impacts of wildfires, nor any structured rescue programmes or response centres. This article looks at the effects of fire on fauna, along with an extrapolation to ecosystems and human health. Wildlife management must be integrated into wildfire protection and management policies. It must include multisectoral and interdisciplinary coordination that plans and implements strategies to minimize risks and vulnerabilities, and to maximize the quality of care for affected animals.
Ács-Öbölkúti-dűlő lelőhely római kori sírjainak embertani eredményei
Authors: Tóth Gábor , Merczi Mónika
Published: November 2022

2008 novembere és 2009 áprilisa között a Kulturális Örökségvédelmi Szakszolgálat megbízásából a Scott és Csoma szélerőmű-park területén, az Ács-Öbölkúti-dűlő lelőhelyen Fűköh Dániel vezetésével végeztek régészeti feltárást. A helyszínen egy késő római (3–4. századi) telep és a hozzá tartozó temető részletét sikerült feltárni. A feltárt 38 római kori sír a Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum leltározott gyűjteményébe tartozik. A nemi eloszlás alapján 18 esetben férfi, 13 esetben nő nyugodott a sírban. Az alacsony sírszám és a mennyiségében és minőségében nem reprezentatív temetőrészlet ellenére, a szükséges korrekciók után, kísérlet történt a halandósági viszonyok meghatározására. Mindenképpen figyelemre méltó a rövidfejűség magas aránya. Ha ezt a népességet is a római korban általános hosszúfejűség jellemezné, akkor azoknak a vizsgálható koponyák között is meg kellene jelenni. Ez az embertani megfigyelés mindenesetre szükségessé teszi a régészeti leletanyag körültekintő és alapos vizsgálatát.

Authors: Balogh Csilla
Published: November 2022

A tanulmány egy Makó határában található, kis sírszámú, teljesen feltárt szarmata temetővel foglalkozik. A temetkezési szokások elemzésén túl bemutatjuk a temető külön-leges ékszeranyagát, a viseletre vonatkozó megfigyeléseinket. A leletanyag kiemelkedő darabjai, elsősorban a fibulák, az üveg orsógombok és a változatos gyöngyanyag alapján vizsgáljuk a temető leletanyagának kapcsolatrendszerét. A Kr. u. 2. század második fele és a 3. század első évtizedei közötti időszakban használt, a Maros közelében létesült temető egy olyan szarmata közösség tagjainak temetkezőhelye, akiknek emlékanyagában a Fekete-tenger melléki kapcsolatok mellett a felső-germaniai–raetiai limes menti és a dél-pannoniai, dalmatiai területekkel is szoros kapcsolatok tükröződnek.
