可信賴專業活動(Entrustable Professional Activities, EPAs)的重要概念，是將核心能力整合成臨床實務專業任務，以信賴等級作為能力進展的依據，供臨床監督授權參考，有助於融合核心概念於臨床照護，應用在職場的教學行為。為進一步推動臺灣醫事放射職類落實勝任能力導向醫學教育(Competency-Based Medical Education, CBME)，本專案活動透過嚴謹共識程序，召集醫事放射職類醫學教育專家完成三大部門之EPAs。活動成果提升了專案對象之EPAs整體概念與五大核心能力理解程度(p<0.001)，問卷調查顯示共識建立法可有效凝聚專家共識（名義團體法4.87分、修正式德菲法4.82分），亦提升EPAs臨床教學助益（4.88分）及醫事放射職類之專業認同（4.87分）。下階段預計號召教學醫院進行場域實踐，以提升整體醫事放射醫學教育水平，促進醫療服務品質。

 

Integration of core competencies into professional tasks in clinical practice is the core concept of entrustable professional activities (EPAs). The progression of competencies can be examined using entrustability scales, which are also applied as a reference for clinical supervision and authorization. Through EPAs, core competencies are effectively integrated into clinical care and applied in workplace teaching. To implement competency-based medical education (CBME) in Taiwan for medical radiation technologists, we established the EPAs of the three departments of radiation technology by adopting solid consensus methods. The results revealed that our methods effectively improved the overall understanding of the concept of EPAs and profession-specific core competencies (p<0.001). In addition, the effective consensus methods (4.87 and 4.82 points) improved the applicability of EPAs in clinical teaching (4.88 points) and professional identification in medical radiation technology (4.87 points). In the next step, nationwide teaching hospitals will be invited to implement CBME. Extensive practical experience and feedback will be collected to tailor the program according to local needs.

 
Excessive Temper(ament), Flawed Character: On the Entanglement of the “Medical” and the “Ethical” in the History of Rhetoric
Authors: Petit Caroline
Published: May 2022

Rhetoric is a bodily art. “Character” itself is an emanation, or a translation of an individual’s physical nature: excessive, outlandish characters are used in ancient rhetoric as relevant examples of this connection. Starting from the controversial legacy of Mark Antony as an orator, this paper explores how medical theory underpins ancient rhetorical thought on the excessive orator and reveals the linkage of character, the body, and its environment. By reexamining the famous cases of Mark Antony, Cassius Severus, Maecenas, and Cicero himself in the light of Greek discourse on the effects of humoral imbalance on speech, I revisit the legacies of several heroes and villains of Roman oratory, as well as contemplate the enduring seduction of excess.
Identifying the Critical Barriers Factors to the Implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Sarawak's Construction Industry
Authors: Myint Naing Toe , Nobahar Sadeghifam Aidin , Selowara Joo Meheron
Published: May 2022

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the most advanced developments in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry that can generate a 3D virtual information model which can be used for planning, design, construction, and operations. As Building Information Modelling (BIM) approaches the construction industry as a new technology and process, changes in the industry have created some barriers to BIM adoption in Malaysia. This research aims to enhance the implementation of BIM in the construction stage of Sarawak's construction industry by identifying and classifying the critical barriers. This study fills this current knowledge gap and enhances the understanding of BIM in the construction stage and the factors that hinder implementation in Sarawak. To develop the challenges being faced in this industry, a set of barrier clusters based on people, process, policy, technology, and cost were pre-identified through a literature review, and a structured interview involving three BIM experts was conducted on WebEx to refine these barriers with the current industry situation. As an outcome, this study identified 49 of the barriers from the literature and refined them into 26 of the barriers under their main clusters. Interestingly, they all validated the fact that lack of government involvement in BIM implementation is an undeniable barrier factor to growing BIM utilization and reaching its full potential. This study will form the basis of further research, and additional studies focusing on prioritizing these identified barriers for strategic planning would help the construction players in their swift transformation to BIM.

Major depressive disorder detection in polytechnic college students
Authors: Janardhan Naulegari , Kumaresh Nandhini
Published: May 2022

Over 322 million people worldwide are affected by depression, the leading cause of disability. Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the most frequent mental disorder and contributes significantly to the global disease burden. Current depression diagnoses, on the other hand, are beset by issues such as patient denial, clinical experience, and self-report bias. Early detection of depression can assist in lessening or even eliminating its detrimental effects. To help the conventional diagnostic approaches in psychiatry, there has been much research into automated depression prediction in recent years. Automated depression identification based on machine learning techniques can help disorder analysts diagnose depression more effectively. The literature on depression has proven that the acoustic features of a depressed individual vary from a normal individual. This paper aims to identify the minimal acoustic features that can be used to detect depression accurately and propose a majority voting classifier for detecting depression (MVCDD). MVCDD is designed with the base classifiers, including Random Forest Classifier (RFC), Support Vector Classifier (SVC), and Logistic Regression (LR). The experiments are performed on the data collected from the students of Government Polytechnic, Masabtank, Hyderabad, India.

‘Hombres-mujeres’, ‘mujeres-hombres’: reflexiones sobre la realidad ‘trans’, en la relectura diversa e incluyente de los cronistas y las esculturas de la Colombia antigua
Authors: Sotomayor Tribín Hugo , Ramírez Buriticá Paula
Published: May 2022

Contexto: en las últimas décadas se ha visto un cambio sobre los conceptos de diversidad sexual, específicamente hacia lo ‘transexual’; de hecho, con la evidencia sobre la etiología neuroendocrina de la diversidad sexual, la comunidad médica ha empezado a redefinir sus conceptos tradicionales respecto a la sexualidad humana, como lo demuestran los cambios al CIE-11, el cual entra en vigor este 2022.
Objetivo: divulgar y sensibilizar a la comunidad médica sobre el tema ‘trans’, a través de una perspectiva histórica y técnica.
Metodología: al aplicar un enfoque interseccional, se correlaciona con la literatura más contemporánea sobre la etiología biológica de las personas no binarias, partiendo de una síntesis de la historia ‘trans’ en las sociedades de América y las perspectivas de los médicos, quienes planteaban la desestigmatización desde más de un siglo atrás. Se continúa, de manera local, a través de la relectura y la reinterpretación de los escritos de cronistas de la conquista española y los testimonios arqueológicos de tres diferentes cosmovisiones indígenas entre los siglos XVI y XVII, en los territorios hoy conocidos como Panamá, Colombia, Ecuador y Perú.Resultados y conclusiones: se exponen factores sociales y antropológicos que podrían tener una influencia en la incidencia de personas no binarias en la Colombia antigua, lo cual refuerza las teorías de incidencia multifactorial. También, se evidencia la necesidad deinvestigaciones locales enfocadas en la atención diferencial de la población ‘trans’, y así, proponer estrategias desde los programas curriculares para abarcar las posibles necesidades de capacitación del profesional de salud.
The Sacred and the Holy in Tolstoy’s Hadji Murád: Irreconcilable Tensions Between War and God
Authors: Khalife-Hamdan Raimy
Published: May 2022

Twentieth-century French thinker Emmanuel Levinas’ distinction between the sacred and the Holy — the spiritual journey “du sacré au saint” — is key to understanding his philosophy. While the sacred emanates from religiously-justified violence, the Holy manifests in the ethical relationship with “the other.” This essay explores the fundamental distinction between the sacred and the Holy in relation to Leo Tolstoy’s novella Hadji Murád. Adopting a Levinasian view, the author unravels Tolstoy’s moral message: the sacred violence of war fuels the totalization of the other, which blinds its perpetrators to its un-Godliness and facilitates the continuation of violence. Even when narratives of war implicate God to glorify violence, war is the un-Holy. To signal the sacred, the author extracts examples from Tolstoy’s novella of the Holy emerging from humans’ selflessness. Through the story of Hadji Murád, Tolstoy begs his reader to revive God in all his Holiness, which entails an ethical surrender to the other. Today’s reader must re-interpret the Divine as Levinas does, for collective peace depends on it.

Afrika’nın Değişen Jeopolitiğinde Türkiye’nin Rolü
Authors: YAHYA GOUDJA Oumar
Published: May 2022

ÖZ: Türkiye dış politikasında önemli bir noktada bulunan Afrika’nın tarihsel süreç içerisinde jeopolitik açıdan yaşadığı değişimlerin geniş bir çerçeve içerisinde yeniden analiz edilmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda Türkiye ve Afrika’nın jeopolitik açıdan ortak çıkarlarının yeniden keşfedilmesi ve ileriye taşınması için yapılan hamlelerin ne tür sonuçlar doğuracağı üzerine durulmaktadır. Özellikle son yıllarda Libya ve Somali örnekleri incelendiğinde Türkiye dış politikasında Afrika’ya yönelik önemli adımlar atıldığı gözlemlenmektedir. Afrika’nın yerel hükümetleri ve konjonktürel değişimlerin yol açtığı gelişmelerle beraber Türkiye’nin jeopolitik konumu itibarıyla bu bölgeye yönelik açılımları bir taraftan risk olarak görülürken diğer taraftan da olumlu olarak kabul edilmektedir. Türkiye tarafından kıtaya yönelik geliştirilen dış politikaların mevcut güç dengesini bozduğuna ve özellikle Batılı ülkelerin bu bölgelerdeki etkinliğini tehdit ettiğine ilişkin çeşitli görüşler hakimdir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin özellikle son yıllarda Afrika’nın değişen jeopolitiğinde nasıl bir rol üstlendiği ve uluslararası sistemde bu rolünü hangi adımlarla kabul ettirmeye çalıştığı gibi konular incelenmiştir. Afrika kıtasında tarih boyunca süregelen sömürgecilik faaliyetleri nedeniyle bir istikrar sağlanamamıştır. Bu da kıtaya yönelik üretilen dış politikaların da istikrarlı olamayacağı anlamını taşımaktadır. Özellikle son yıllarda Afrika halkları, geçmişte Batılı devletler tarafından uygulanan sömürgeclilik faaliyetlerini öne sürerek günümümüzde devam eden bağlılıklarını koparma girişimlerinde bulunmaktadır. Ancak bu ticaret, askeri, ekonomik ve diğer pek çok alanda seyreden bu ilişkilerin kopması ya da zayıflaması durumunda Türkiye’nin bu boşluğu doldurabileceği yönünde görüşler hakimdir.Bu nedenle Türkiye’nin Afrika’ya yönelik üstlenmek istediği bu etkin rolünü sağlamlaştırmak adına Osmanlı söylemini geliştirdiği anlaşılmaktadır. Basın ve medyada Türkiye’nin pek çok kurumunun bu söylem üzerinden kıtaya yönelik tarihsel bağlarını yeniden canlandırma eğiliminde olduğu ve bu konuda uluslararası basın kuruluşlarını da sürece dahil ettiği gözlemlenmektedir.

Aim of study: To evaluate diets with different proportions of butterfly pea hay (BH) and cactus pear meal (CM) on the intake and digestibility of nutrients, productive performance, feeding behavior and physiological parameters of crossbred Boer kids.
Area of study: Northwest of Brazil.
Material and methods: 32 crossbred Boer intact male goats were distributed in a randomized block design, with four treatments with different proportions of BH and CM in the diets, partially replacing elephant grass on a total dry matter (DM) basis: 0% BH + 0 % CM as a control, 83% BH + 17% CM, 67% BH + 33% CM, and 50% BH + 50% CM. Each treatment group included eight animals. The experiment lasted 84 days preceded by 15 days of adaptation.
Main results: Kids fed the control diet had the greatest intake of neutral detergent fiber, hemicellulose, water intake via food, time to feed and the lowest feed conversion (p<0.05) compared to BH+CM diets. Diet 83% BH+17% CM provided less digestibility of neutral detergent fiber, greater efficiency of DM intake and lower efficiency of DM and neutral detergent fiber rumination (p<0.05) compared to other diets. Diet 67% BH+33% CM resulted in greater digestibility of dry and organic matter, weight gains and longer (p<0.05) chewing time (seconds/cud) compared to other diets. Diet 50% BH+50% CM showed lower (p<0.05) intake of acid detergent fiber, time for rumination, efficiency of ingestion of neutral detergent fiber and rectal temperature, and longer (p<0.05) idle times compared to other diets.
Research highlights: Partial substitution of elephant grass with 67% BH and 33% CM increased digestibility and weight gain of crossbred Boer kids, without changing nutrient and water intake in the finishing.

Volóchinov: para uma análise sociológica da ideologia
Authors: Antoine Sébastien Gabriel Fabien Ghislain
Published: May 2022

O “Marxismo e filosofia da linguagem” (1929) de Valentin Volóchinov se destaca como uma das mais altas expressões da vida intelectual dos primeiros anos da Rússia pós-revolucionária. Começando com uma discussão relativa às fundações epistemológicas da obra, este artigo pretende trazer à luz as contribuições seminais de Volóchinov para uma semiótica social marxista, estudando os signos ideológicos como campos de luta entre acentuações sociais realizadas por vários grupos e classes sociais. Sublinhando as fortes afinidades eletivas tanto com a psicologia histórico-cultural de Vygotsky (1896-1934) quanto com o pensamento político de Gramsci (1891-1937), argumenta-se então que o método sociológico na ciência da linguagem de Volóchinov (1895-1936) propicia o fundamento para uma abordagem bastante frutífera da dimensão ideológica das relações sociais. Ao fazê-lo, ele lança uma luz dinâmica sobre o lado político das interações de linguagem concretas, como contribuição original para a expansão do programa de pesquisa marxista.

Primary myocardial involvement is common in systemic sclerosis. There is growing evidence strongly suggesting that this involvement is linked to repeated focal ischemic lesions causing irreversible myocardial fibrosis. It can affect all heart structures. We report the case of a 65 years old male patient, without any personal medical history, admitted for inaugural right heart decompensation. The diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy is based mainly on the following criteria: on echocardiography, hypertrohy of the right ventricle with alteration of the longitudinal systolic function, dilation of the right atrium, with good overall contractility. On right cardiac catheterization: elevation and equalization of the telesystolic pressures of the right atrium, right ventricle, and pulmonary artery with appearance of dip plateau on the right ventricle curve. Scleroderma was evoked considering following statements: the presence of Raynaud's phenomenon, unknown by the patient (presence of dermal sclerosis with pericapillary oedema and capillary dystrophy on capillaroscopy), cutaneous involvement (presence of perivascular and perineural mononuclear infiltrates, with collagen fibers increased in number and thickness), pulmonary involvement (diffuse bilateral interstitial lung disease) and renal involvement (moderately impaired function and positive proteinuria). The concept of cardiac dysfunction in scleroderma and other rheumatologic conditions has received new interest with the advent of newer non-invasive imaging techniques. Therfore, it would be necessary to search the cardiac involvement especially subclinical one in this type of system disease, as well as to confirm the systemic origin in front of certain forms of cardiopathies in particular restrictive cardiomyopathy.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) frequently affects ear, nose and throat (ENT) at disease onset. Our aim was to report on our experience with the ENT manifestations in GPA patients, therapy and outcome. A retrospective study of GPA patients was performed who followed up in Rheumatology clinics at King Khalid University hospital, Riyadh during the period 1990-2016. Demographics, different ENT manifestations, laboratory and diagnostic features, therapy and outcome of GPA patients were retrieved from their medical charts. ENT involvement was observed in 15 (65.2%) of the 23 GPA cases identified. Otologic symptoms were noted in 3 (13.0%), nose and sinus symptoms in 13 (56.5%) and throat symptoms in 3 (13.0%) GPA patients. Epistaxis (39.1%) was the most prevalent nose and sinus symptom followed by sinusitis (30.4%), otitis media and hearing loss were the frequent otologic symptoms, oral ulcers and hoarseness of voice constituted frequent throat symptoms in GPA patients. Of the 15 ENT-GPA patients, 9 were males and 6 were females (male: female; 1.5: 1). Their mean age at disease onset was 33.8 ± 18.3 (range 11-57) years and mean duration of disease was 10.1 ± 5.9 (range 1-20) years. ANCA was positive in 93.3% ENT-GPA patients, 73.3% had c-ANCA and 20.0% had p-ANCA. Infections were noted in 33.3% ENT-GPA patients that included pneumonia, septicemia, esophageal candidiasis, bacterial meningitis and herpes zoster. All patients received oral prednisolone, 60.0% received intravenous cyclophosphamide, 20.0% refractory cases received rituximab doses, and the disease outcome was good. Comparison of ENT- GPA with non- ENT GPA cohort showed that 26.7% ENT-GPA patients had renal involvement compared to 87.5% non ENT-GPA patients (p = 0.009). Our study showed that the frequency of ENT symptoms in our GPA patients was less compared to other studies, and the disease outcome was good. Renal involvement was significantly less frequent in ENT-GPA cohort compared to non ENT-GPA cohort.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is mechanistically complex and one probable cause is seizure-related respiratory dysfunction. Medullary respiratory regulatory nuclei include the pre-Bötzinger complex (pre-BötC) in the ventrolateral medulla (VLM), the medullary raphé nuclei (MR) and nucleus of solitary tract in the dor-somedial medulla (DMM). The region of the VLM also contains intermingled tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catecholaminergic neurones which directly project to the pre-BötC and regulate breathing under hypoxic conditions and our aim was to evaluate these neurones in SUDEP cases. In postmortem cases from three groups [SUDEP (18), epilepsy controls (8) and non-epilepsy controls (16)] serial sections of medulla (obex 2 to 13 mm) were immunolabeled for TH. Three regions of interest (ROI) were outlined (VLM, DMM and MR) and TH-immunoreactive (TH-IR) neurones were evaluated using automated detection for overall labeling index (neurones and processes) and neuronal densities and compared between groups and relative to obex level. C-fos immunoreactivity was also semi-quantitatively evaluated in these regions. We found no significant difference in the density of TH-IR neurones or labeling index between the groups in all regions. Significantly more TH-IR neu-rones were present in the DMM region than VLM in non-epilepsy cases only (P < 0.01). Regional variations in TH-IR neurones with obex level were seen in all groups except SUDEP. We also identified occasional TH neurones in the MR region in all groups. There was significantly less c-fos labeling in the VLM and MR in SUDEP than non-epilepsy controls but no difference with epilepsy controls. In conclusion, in this series we found no evidence for alteration of total medullary TH-IR neuronal numbers in SUDEP but noted some differences in their relative distribution in the medulla and c-fos neurones compared to control groups which may be relevant to the mechanism of death.

In this work, a low-cost and rapid electrochemical resistive DNA biosensor based on the current relaxation method is described. A DNA probe, complementary to the specific human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) sequence, was immobilized onto a screen-printed gold electrode. DNA hybridization was detected by applying a potential step of 30 mV to the system, composed of an external capacitor and the modified electrode DNA/gold, for 750 µs and then relaxed back to the OCP, at which point the voltage and current discharging curves are registered for 25 ms. From the discharging curves, the potential and current relaxation were evaluated, and by using Ohm’s law, the charge transfer resistance through the DNA-modified electrode was calculated. The presence of a complementary sequence was detected by the change in resistance when the ssDNA is transformed in dsDNA due to the hybridization event. The target DNA concentration was detected in the range of 5 to 20 nM. The results showed a good fit to the regression equation ∆Rtotal (Ω) = 2.99 × [DNA] + 81.55, and a detection limit of 2.39 nM was obtained. As the sensing approach uses a direct current, the electronic architecture of the biosensor is simple and allows for the separation of faradic and nonfaradaic contributions. The simple electrochemical resistive biosensor reported here is a good candidate for the point-of-care diagnosis of HPV at a low cost and in a short detection time.
War-Algorithm Accountability
Authors: Lewis Dustin , Modirzadeh Naz , Blum Gabriella
Published: May 2022

In War-Algorithm Accountability (August 2016), we introduce a new concept—war algorithms—that elevates algorithmically-derived “choices” and “decisions” to a, and perhaps the, central concern regarding technical autonomy in war. We thereby aim to shed light on and recast the discussion regarding “autonomous weapon systems” (AWS). We define “war algorithm” as any algorithm that is expressed in computer code, that is effectuated through a constructed system, and that is capable of operating in relation to armed conflict. In introducing this concept, our foundational technological concern is the capability of a constructed system, without further human intervention, to help make and effectuate a “decision” or “choice” of a war algorithm. Distilled, the two core ingredients are an algorithm expressed in computer code and a suitably capable constructed system. Through that lens, we link international law and related accountability architectures to relevant technologies. We sketch a three-part (non-exhaustive) approach that highlights traditional and unconventional accountability avenues. We focus largely on international law because it is the only normative regime that purports—in key respects but with important caveats—to be both universal and uniform. In this way, international law is different from the myriad domestic legal systems, administrative rules, or industry codes that govern the development and use of technology in all other spheres. By not limiting our inquiry only to weapon systems, we take an expansive view, showing how the broad concept of war algorithms might be susceptible to regulation—and how those algorithms might already fit within the existing regulatory system established by international law.
Indefinite War: Unsettled International Law on the End of Armed Conflict
Authors: Lewis Dustin , Blum Gabriella , Modirzadeh Naz
Published: May 2022

Can we say, definitively, when an armed conflict no longer exists under international law? The short, unsatisfying answer is sometimes: it is clear when some conflicts terminate as a matter of international law, but a decisive determination eludes many others. The lack of fully-settled guidance often matters significantly. That is because international law tolerates, for the most part, far less violent harm, devastation, and suppression in situations other than armed conflicts. Thus, certain measures governed by the laws and customs of war—including killing and capturing the enemy, destroying and seizing enemy property, and occupying foreign territory, all on a possibly large scale—would usually constitute grave violations of peacetime law. This Legal Briefing details the legal considerations and analyzes the implications of that lack of settled guidance. It delves into the myriad (and often-inconsistent) provisions in treaty law, customary law, and relevant jurisprudence that purport to govern the end of war. Alongside the doctrinal analysis, this Briefing considers the changing concept of war and of what constitutes its end; evaluates diverse interests at stake in the continuation or close of conflict; and contextualizes the essentially political work of those who design the law. In all, this Legal Briefing reveals that international law, as it now stands, provides insufficient guidance to precisely discern the end of many armed conflicts as a factual matter (when has the war ended?), as a normative matter (when should the war end?), and as a legal matter (when does the international-legal framework of armed conflict cease to apply in relation to the war?). The current plurality of legal concepts of armed conflict, the sparsity of IHL provisions that instruct the end of application, and the inconsistency among such provisions thwart uniform regulation and frustrate the formulation of a comprehensive notion of when wars can, should, and do end. Fleshing out the criteria for the end of war is a considerable challenge. Clearly, many of the problems identified in this Briefing are first and foremost strategic and political. Yet, as part of a broader effort to strengthen international law’s claim to guide behavior in relation to war and protect affected populations, international lawyers must address the current confusion and inconsistencies that so often surround the end of armed conflict.
Ungulate’s Hide in the Bronze Age Kurgans: Sacrifice or Psychopomp
Authors:   Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University, Lytvynenko Roman
Published: May 2022

Among the features of the burial rite of many Bronze Age kurgan cultures in Eastern Europe, there is one interesting common feature, when the deceased is accompanied by the ritual remains of hoofed animals, which are archaeologically recorded in the form of skulls and the lower parts of the limbs. Following M. P. Gryaznov (1977), the term “animal’s hide” or “stuffed animal” was assigned to these ritual objects, which were placed in burials to substitute the whole animals by the pars pro toto principle. In the Early Bronze Age, the main area of the use of ritual animals in the funerary ritual was the Lower Kuban region, where from a quarter to a third of the burials of the Novotitorovskaya and East-Azov Catacomb Grave cultures were accompanied by hides of small cattle. During the Middle Bronze Age, this burial practice significantly expanded its range and is found in all catacomb cultures of the Don basin and the steppe Ciscaucasia, with its greatest manifestation in the Seversky Donets basin. In the post-Catacomb period, the tradition of using of animal hides and stuffed animals in the funerary rite was preserved only in the Dnieper-Don Babino Culture. In the Late Bronze Age, this practice was unevenly represented in the Srubnaya cultural region, most massively in the Dnieper-Don region. Archaeological contexts, together with ethnographic, folklore and mythological analogies, allow us to interpret the ritual remains of ungulates as the animal–psychopomp that accompanied the soul of the deceased to the afterlife.
Non-Standard Old Kingdom Burials in the Context of Egyptian Ideas about the Afterlife

Published: May 2022

The paper deals with the problem of identifying and analyzing non-standard (alternative, deviant, extraordinary, atypical) Egyptian burials of the Old Kingdom (27th—22nd centuries BCE). On the territory of the Nile Valley, non-standard features are usually recorded in orientation of the body of the deceased or its position, manipulations with the body (skeleton) parts, incompleteness of the body (skeleton), and other features that are not consistent with the common burial rite. The problems associated with the study of ancient Egyptian non-normative burial practices are considered in connection to manipulations with heads (skulls) reported from Egyptian necropolises. The author discusses the place of non-standard practices in the structure of Egyptian funerary activities as well as possible reasons for such deviations with relation to Egyptian ideas about the afterlife. Among the main problems associated with the study of non-standard burials, the lack of securely recorded archaeological contexts and the absence of paleopathological reports are discussed. Finally, the paper considers perspectives on the study of non-normative ancient Egyptian burials at the present stage of the development of Egyptology.
