Autobiographical documents of Petro Kurinny in the archives of the Ukrainian Free University
Authors: Oleksandr Bon
Published: September 2023

This paper is devoted to a famous scientist Petro Petrovych Kurinny – an archaeologist, historian, art critic, musuemist, and heritage protectionist in Ukraine and in immigration. This article provides information on the autobiographical documentary of P Kurinny, which is stored in the archive of the Ukrainian Free University in Munich. He immigrated to Germany and attempted to immediately start scientific and educational activities. The scientist was among not too many archeologists in the diaspora and considering his high reputation and scientific weight, Ukrainian Free University engaged him as an extraordinary professor since 1946, since 1948 as an ordinary professor and since 1950 he received the doctorate. All these allow analyzing the autobiographical documents in the archive of Ukrainian Free University. Special scientific value can be found in his autobiography «Short biography», which was provided to the Ukrainian Free University as part of the application for the mentioned above positions. An important part of the scientific documents play the lists of publications and the articles that were finished but yet not published. It was established that the lists of materials that the scientist and archeologist had an intention to publish and were taken by him from Ukraine but have not been found in his archive. This paper proved that there are no traces of self-censoring as it was in his soviet time of scientific work. In addition, these documents allow us to analyze the events of his scientific and academic life in immigration in Germany, as well as to establish unknown facts of his biography. We also can observe the prosopographical portrait in a circle of the famous figures of Ukrainian emigrant science.
Key words: Petro Kurinny, autobiographical documents, short biography, Ukrainian Free University, Munich.
Return and Volatility Connectedness in Electronic Warehouse Receipt Market of Turkey
Authors: AÇIKGÖZ Türker
Published: September 2023

Over the course of the last century, globalization and integration have increased significantly around the world. The rise in economic and financial globalization and integration has increased the connectedness between national economies and financial markets and secured an important place in the systemic risk spillover. It is important to analyze the issue in terms of different markets. Food prices around the world have increased significantly over the last 20 years. The price and volatility increase associated with food products lead to important socioeconomic and social problems. In this context, it will be important for decision-makers to assess the issue from the perspective of financial markets and to understand and reveal the dynamic structure of food commodity markets. This study aims to examine the connectedness of return and volatility in the Electronic Warehouse Receipt (EWR) market, where agricultural commodities are traded in Turkey, and to analyze its dynamic structure that changes over time. In this study, the Diebold-Yilmaz connectedness measurement method based on the forecast error variance decomposition after the VAR (p) model was used to analyze the connectedness between financial assets. According to the results of the static analysis performed, it was observed that while the return connectedness in the EWR market is very low, the volatility connectedness is at a higher level than the return connectedness. Based on the results of the dynamic analysis, no trend was observed in return connectedness; however, rapid increases and decreases were observed for certain periods. On the other hand, while an increasing trend was observed in the dynamic analysis of volatility connectedness, sudden increases and decreases were observed during periods of crisis. Of all agricultural commodities, it was observed that barley was the asset that sent the most net shock into the system. The EWR market in Turkey has come up recently. The market's structure, dynamics, and synchronization with other markets are still at a low level. The spillover effect of return and volatility shocks in the market are also low. The findings of this study can be used by producers, financial market participants and various decision makers for risk management, hedging and profit maximization purposes.

Published: September 2023

Mantar içerdiği %90 seviyelerindeki yüksek nemden dolayı hasat sonrası çabuk bozulabilen bir üründür. Meydana gelebilecek kimyasal, mikrobiyolojik ve enzimatik bozulmaları önlemek için ürün içerisindeki fazla nemin kurutularak uzaklaştırılması önemlidir. Kurutma işlemi üründeki fazla nemi ürünün kalite özelliklerini (fiziko-kimyasal, fitokimyasal vb.) kaybetmeden depo edilebilir bir nem değerine (%10-13) kadar düşürülmesi işlemidir. Bu çalışmada; geliştirilen sıcaklık kontrollü bir mikrodalga kurutucu kullanılarak 50±1,5°C, 60±2°C ve 70±2.5 °C sıcaklık değerlerinde kültür mantarı (şapkalı) kurutulmuştur. Kurutma işlemleri örneklerinin nem içeriği %92.85±0.29’den %10 nem seviyesine düşene kadar devam etmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında sıcaklık kontrollü mikrodalga yönteminin mantarın kuruma süresi, kuruma oranı, matematiksel modelleme, rehidrasyon kapasitesi, rehidrasyon oranı, renk, sertlik ve efektif difüzyon-aktivasyon enerji değerlerine olan etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bulgulara göre en kısa kuruma süresi 40 dakika ile 70 °C kurutma sıcaklığında belirlenirken en uzun kuruma süresi ise 210 dakika ile 50 °C kurutma sıcaklığında yapılan kurutma işlemlerinde belirlenmiştir. Taze mantarın renk değerlerini istatistiksel açıdan en iyi 50 ºC sıcaklıkta muhafaza ettiği tespit edilmiştir. En yüksek rehidrasyon kapasitesi 50 °C rehidre su banyosunda ve 70 °C sıcaklıkta kurutulan örneklerde belirlenmiştir. Sertlik özellikleri açısından incelendiğinde 70 °C sıcaklığın istatistiksel açıdan (P

Published: September 2023

Today, 29 subspecies have been defined, each of which is adapted to a certain set of environmental characteristics, spreading all over the world except Antarctica. Many morphological and morphometric features have been used to classify honey bees from the past to the present. It has been reported that features such as length, angle and indices coming from the front wings are very efficient for classification. In recent studies, various programs have been developed and automatic classification has been attempted through the images of bee wings. This study aimed to determine the naturally occurring honey bee biodiversity in Turkiye by measuring 7 areas (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7) on the right front wing. For this purpose, a total of 3392 worker bee samples were collected from 143 colonies in 19 provinces of Turkiye. The photographs of the prepared preparations were taken at 1X magnification with the BAB camera system connected to the BAB STR45 stereozoom microscope. The measurements of 7 areas on the right front wings of honey bee populations distributed in Turkiye were made automatically in the BAB Bs200ProP program. Colony averages of the raw data of the area measurements of each province were taken and the results were evaluated with Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) in the SPSS.15 package program. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was applied to separate the groups to determine the variation within and between groups. As a result of this study, the minimum total area was seen in Van at 4.51 and the maximum total area was seen in Ardahan at 5.76. The average size of the measured areas decreased from the north-east to the south of Turkiye. Area measurements on the forewing were found to be a marker for distinguishing Anatolian (A. m. anatoliaca) and Caucasian (A. m. caucasica) honey bees.

Authors: TALEBI Ebrahim , HAGHIGHAT JAHROMI Marjan
Published: September 2023

The incidence of disease and damage will increase, if environmental control and acceptable management practices are not provided during the rearing period. Ascites affect young broilers with rapid growth, and the most critical factor in causing ascites syndrome is the lack of oxygen in body tissues (hypoxia). This research aimed to investigate the effect of olive leaves hydroalcoholic extract and probiotics (LactoFeed) on experimental ascites caused by levothyroxine in male broiler chickens. The present study was an interventional type, and for its implementation, a single-factor design was used in eight groups with 3 replicates. Data were analyzed based on a one-way analysis of variance. Blood parameters of male chickens were measured after 42 days. Biochemical factors of the blood serum of broilers included AST, ALT, ALT, TSHT, T4, T3, Glucose, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, Urea, Uric acid, TP, Albumin, and Globulin. AST, ALT, and ALP levels in the induced ascites group increased by 1.16, 1.35, and 1.16 times, respectively. When the chickens had induced ascites, the levels of all three hormones in the blood serum of broiler chickens increased significantly (P
Research on the morphological and molecular diagnosis of Hyalopterus pruni (Geoffroy)
Authors: TAYAT Esra , ÖZDER Nihal
Published: September 2023

Aphids are one of the most important groups of insects that cause damage to agricultural crops, ornamental plants, as well as herbaceous and woody plants in their natural habitats. Aphids that feed on plant sap can cause significant crop losses worldwide, ranging from 70% to 80%, due to stunted growth, deformation, wilting, and other detrimental effects on plants. Despite the chemical, biological, and integrated pest management methods applied against these damages, aphids have rapidly expanded their distribution areas and their damages have been increasing in recent times. Hyalopterus Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae), a genus of aphids, are known worldwide as pests that infest Prunus trees, which are stone fruit trees. They cause damage by feeding on the trees and also by transmitting plant viruses. Subsequently, improper and indiscriminate use of chemical control methods negatively impacts both human and environmental health. Accurate identification of aphids, especially in terms of invasive species, is crucial for early detection of their damages in the initial stages. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is an effective gene region used in the identification of many economically important plant pests worldwide. In this study, a total of 50 individuals of Hyalopterus pruni (Geoffroy) were collected from three localities Şarköy (Ulaman, Bulgurlu, Gölcük, Cumhuriyet, Mürefte, Hoşköy, Gaziköy, Tepeköy, Palamut), Süleymanpaşa (Yüzüncüyıl, Altınova, Banarlı, Barboros, Bıyıkali, Çınarlı, Değirmenaltı, Ferhadanlı, Hürriyet, Karacakılavuz, Karaevli, Naip, Namık Kemal and Marmaraereğlisi (Bahçelievler, Cedit Ali Paşa, Dereağzı, Mustafa Kemal Paşa, Sultanköy, Türkmenli, Yakuplu and Yeniçiftlik) in Tekirdağ province. The species H11, H41, and H61, which were selected to represent three counties, were sequenced, and the molecular sequence results revealed that H. pruni, as morphologically described, showed 99% consistency at the molecular level.

FACIAL EXPRESSION RECOGNITION USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS [CNN]
Authors: Raghav Akash , Tewari Nitin ,   SRMIST
Published: September 2023

While humans have traditionally excelled at discerning emotions through facial expressions, achieving the same capability with a computer program has proven challenging. However, recent advancements in computer vision and machine learning have made it feasible to recognize emotions accurately. This paper introduces a novel facial emotion identification technique known as Convolutional Neural Networks for Facial Emotion Recognition (FERC). FERC utilizes a twopart convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture: The paper consists of two main sections. The first section is dedicated to removing the background from the image, while the second section focuses on extracting the facial feature vector. The FERC model utilizes an expressional vector (EV) to identify five different regular facial expressions. With its single-level CNN approach, FERC offers improved accuracy compared to commonly used techniques. Moreover, prior to constructing the EV, a novel background removal strategy is implemented to address various potential challenges, such as distance from the camera. The application of FERC in emotion detection holds promise for a wide range of applications, including student predictive learning and lie detection.

Уральские скитники в «чулымской и колыванской тайге» (из истории старообрядчества Томской области в конце XIX – первой трети XX вв.)
Ural Skete Dwellers in the “Chulym and Kolyvan Taiga” (From the History of the Old Believers of the Tomsk Region at the End of the 19th — First Third of the 20th Centuries)
Authors: Beloborodov S. A.
Published: September 2023

Одной из главных задач в изучении такого сложного и противоречивого явления, как русское (и сибирское) старообрядчество является исследование локальных центров разных согласий и толков. По нашему глубочайшему убеждению, лишь такой подход дает возможность воссоздать цельную, объемную картину феномена старообрядчества в России. Статья посвящена реконструкции истории малоизвестного (в наши дни) скитского старообрядческого центра, появившегося в последней четверти XIX в. на территории Томской губернии и просуществовавшего до конца 1930‑х гг. Особое внимание автор уделяет воссозданию биографий скитников и скитниц, большинство из которых были уроженцами Урала и до переселения в Сибирь проживали в различных уральских скитах. Комплексное использование источников, имеющих как сибирское, так и уральское «происхождение», позволило существенно расширить наши представления об этих людях, а в отдельных случаях достаточно полно реконструировать жизненный путь выдающихся старцев и стариц, о судьбе которых до этого момента почти ничего не было известно. Затронуты вопросы, связанные с периодизацией переселенческого движения уральских скитников в Сибирь. Анализируются причины миграции значительно числа старообрядцев в Томскую губернию. Рассказывается о их жизни в новых условиях и проблемах, которые в 1930‑е гг. привели к новому переселению в еще более отдаленные края — на берега Енисея.

One of the main tasks in studying such a complex and contradictory phenomenon as Russian (and Siberian) Old Believers is the study of local centers of different consents and interpretations. We firmly believe that only this approach makes it possible to recreate a complete, three‑dimensional “picture” of the phenomenon of Old Believers in Russia. The article is devoted to the reconstruction of the history of the little‑known (nowadays) Old Believers’ skete center, which appeared in the last quarter of the XIX century in the Tomsk province and existed until the end of the 1930s. The author pays special attention to the reconstruction of the biographies of skete dwellers, most of whom were natives of the Urals and lived in various Ural sketes before moving to Siberia. The comprehensive use of sources of both Siberian and Ural origin made it possible to significantly expand our understanding of these people, and in some cases quite fully reconstruct the biographies of prominent elders (starets), about whom little has been known until now. The paper also covers the issues of the periodization of the migration movement of the Ural skete dwellers to Siberia and the reasons for many Old Believers to migrate to the Tomsk province. It describes their life in the new conditions and problems that led to a new migration in the 1930‑s to even more remote lands — to the banks of the Yenisei.
Традиции старообрядцев в меднолитой пластике: восстановление складня XIX века
Old Believers' Traditions in Casting Copper: Restoration of a 19th-Century Folding Icon
Authors: Safonov V. V. , Voronzheva P. A. , Tretyakova A. E.
Published: September 2023

Используемая для изготовления религиозных предметов, в первую очередь предметов личного благочестия, меднолитая пластика представлена и широко распространена у старообрядцев, течения в православии, образовавшегося в результате церковного раскола на почве реформ церковных догматов и последовавшего за ними социального напряжения в российском обществе XVII в. Старообрядчество помимо стремления сохранить древнерусские исконные религиозные традиции, несмотря на относительно небольшое число последователей, оказало влияние и на культуру России в более широком плане, например, на особенности изготовления икон. Меднолитая пластика используется также в ювелирном деле, при изготовлении фурнитуры для одежды, мебели и интерьера. Она создает определенного рода стиль и антураж вплоть до настоящего времени. Авторами данной работы исследован и атрибутирован найденный в Забайкалье фрагмент складня — вторая створа, изготовленный в XIX в. путем меднолитой пластики. Осуществлена попытка провести восстановительные работы — реставрационно‑консервационные, цель которых не только улучшить внешний вид реликвии и сохранить экспонат, но и получить возможность продолжить изучение образа жизни людей, связанных со старообрядчеством, а также и самого искусства работы с металлом.

Copper casting is widely used among the Old Believers for creating religious objects, especially those of personal use. The Old Believers’ branch of Orthodoxy formed due to church reforms that were followed by the Schism of the Russian Church and tension in the Russian society in the 17th century. The Old Believers, who desired to preserve old Russian religious traditions despite the small number of followers, also influenced some aspects of the Russian culture in general, such as the technology of icons manufacturing. Cast copper objects are also used in jewelry, for clothes fittings, furniture and interior, and create a certain style and entourage up to the present. The authors of this work investigated and attributed the fragment (the second section) of a folding icon found in Transbaikalia and cast in copper in the XIX century. The authors aimed to carry out restoration and conservation work not only to improve the appearance and preserve the exhibit, but also to get the opportunity to continue studying the lifestyle of the Old Believers, and the art of working with metal itself.

Одной из наиболее наглядных иллюстраций биологической изменчивости древних популяций служат серии портретов‑реконструкций внешности, выполненные по черепам из одного или ряда близких могильников. Такие галереи образов позволяют судить о размахе вариаций основных размеров и пропорций головы, об изменчивости описательных и качественных характеристик внешности. В статье приведены контурные и графические реконструкции, выполненные в фас и профиль, по восьми черепам представителей средневекового населения г. Вологды. Краниологический материал происходит из трех могильников: 1) кладбище по адресу Парковый переулок, 12, датировка XIII– XVI вв. — три мужских и один женский череп; 2) захоронения у южной стороны Софийского собора, датировка XIV–XVI вв. — 1 череп; 3) кладбище на ул. Бурмагиных, 34 — два погребения, мужское и женское, датировка XV–XVI вв. и одно мужское XVII века. Прически, одежда и украшения выполнены в соответствии с реалиями эпохи. По каждому индивиду представлены словесные портреты прижизненной внешности. Для некоторых индивидов проведена реконструкция прижизненной длины тела, а также определен конституциональный тип.

The biological variability of the population can be clearly shown in portraits reconstructed from crania that come from close burial grounds. Such image galleries give an idea of the range of variations in the main proportions of the head and the variability of different traits. Contour and graphic reconstructions, full‑face and profile, were performed on eight skulls representing Vologda’s medieval population. The cranial material comes from three burial grounds: 1) cemetery at Park Lane, 12 (13th‑16th centuries) — three male and one female skulls; 2) burials at the south side of St. Sophia Cathedral (14th‑16th centuries) — 1 skull; 3) cemetery at Burmaginykh Str., 34 — two burials, male and female (15th‑16th centuries) and one male burial (17th century). Hairstyles, clothes and jewelry were designed based on the realities of the corresponding time period. The article also provides verbal portraits of each individual and the calculated lifetime body length and constitutional type of some individuals.
Анализ фамилий представителей современной этнической группы итальянцев Крыма и их предков в качестве квазигенетических маркеров
An Analysis of the Surnames of the Members of the Modern Ethnic Group of the Italians of Crimea and their Ancestors as Quasi-Genetic Marker
Authors: Zini S. , Khokhlov N. V.
Published: September 2023

В статье представлены результаты всеобъемлющего анализа фамилий представителей современной группы «итальянцев Крыма», а также их предков — итальянских мигрантов XIX–XX вв. в Черноморско‑Азовский регион. Каждая итальянская фамилия имеет свою историю и может много рассказать о человеке и его семье: часто встречаются и равномерно распространяются фамилии с четко выраженной привязкой к конкретному региону Италии и/или свидетельствующие о социальном статусе своего владельца. Это позволило использовать фамилии «итальянцев Крыма» и их предков в качестве надежных квазигенетических маркеров, что соответствует методам, применяемым в антропогенетических исследованиях при решении вопросов историко-генетического характера. Анализ антропонимов‑фамилий представителей изучаемой группы, в сравнении с архивными данными, позволил с определенной точностью установить территорию исхода итальянцев, мигрирующих в Черноморско‑Азовский регион в XIX–XX вв., участвующих в процессе возникновения современной группы «итальянцев Крыма», проживающих сегодня в основном в Крыму, в Керчи. Трансформации, которым подвергались во времени исконные фамилии итальянских мигрантов отражают сложный процесс адаптации итальянских групп в социокультурных, экономических, языковых условиях Черноморско‑Азовского региона.

The article presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of the surnames of members of the modern ethnic group called the “Italians of Crimea” (living today mainly in Kerch), and of their ancestors — the Italian migrants to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov region of the 19th‑20th centuries. Each Italian surname has its own history and can tell a lot about a person and their family: most of Italian surnames have their origin in a particular Italian region and/or refer to the social status of their owner. This made it possible to use the surnames of the “Italians of Crimea” and of their ancestors as a reliable quasi‑genetic marker, which corresponds to the methods used in anthropogenetic studies to find answers to historical and genetic questions. The analysis of the surnames of the group, compared to the historical data from Russian and Italian archives, made it possible to establish with a certain degree of accuracy from which regions of the Apennine Peninsula several hundreds of Italian migrants moved to different cities of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov regions and to Crimea in the 19th‑20th centuries. The transformations that the original surnames of Italian migrants underwent over time reflect the complex process of adaptation to the new socio‑cultural, economic and linguistic conditions of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov regions.

Published: September 2023

Выдающийся деятель казанской этнографической школы Л. С. Токсубаева (1948–2017) сыграла большую роль в развитии исследований орнаментальных особенностей и семантической функции полотенец в семейных обрядах. В статье на основе полевых материалов автора и архивных документов впервые рассмотрена научная биография Л. С. Токсубаевой, проанализированы основные направления её работы в контексте развития этнографии в Казанском университете. Л. С. Токсубаева стала одним из первопроходцев в разработке инструментария, проведении полевых исследований русского народного искусства Среднего Поволжья и анализе собранного материала. Она также внесла весомый вклад в развитие предметного поля этнографических исследований в Казани. Рассматривая полотенца как один из важных источников исследования русского декоративно‑прикладного искусства, Л. С. Токсубаева пришла к выводу, что они являлись знаковой частью семейной обрядности. Совместно с коллегами ей удалось собрать значительный объем материала по культуре русского населения Казанского Поволжья конца XIX — начала XX вв., и, в частности, реконструировать территориальные и хронологические особенности орнаментации полотенец, выявить традиционные функции и рассмотреть их трансформацию.
L. S. Toksubayeva (1948–2017) was an outstanding figure of the Kazan ethnographic school and played a major role in the studies of ornaments and semantic function of towels in family rituals. This article is the first attempt to examine the scientific biography of L. S. Toksubayeva based on her field materials and archival documents and to analyze the main areas of her work on the development of ethnography at Kazan University. L. S. Toksubayeva became one of the pioneers in the development of research tools, conducting field research of Russian folk art in the Middle Volga region and analyzing the collected material. She also made a significant contribution to the development of ethnographic research in Kazan. Considering towels as one of the important research objects of Russian decorative art, L. S. Toksubaeva concluded that they were an iconic part of family rituals. Together with her colleagues, she managed to assemble a diverse collection of material culture of the Russian population in the Kazan Volga region in the late XIX — early XX centuries, and, in particular, to reconstruct the territorial and chronological patterns of towel ornamentation, identify their traditional functions and consider their transformation.
Апотропеические образы восточноевропейского скифского звериного стиля
Apotropaic Images in the Eastern European Scythian Animal Style
Authors: Dobrovolskyi L. S.
Published: September 2023

Статья посвящена актуальной проблеме семантики образов скифского звериного стиля восточноевропейской зоны. Проблематика охватывает вопросы характерных мотивов и специфики приёмов моделирования скифских зооморфных изображений. Объектом исследования служат 39 изображений, оформляющих или украшающих золотые нашивные бляшки из археологических памятников и местонахождений, локализуемых в пределах восточноевропейской зоны. Использована комплексная методика, включающая традиционный иконографический, формально‑стилистический и структурно‑семиотический методы, а также приёмы общенаучного гипотетико‑дедуктивного метода. Новизной в исследовании является анализ моделей зооморфных и монструозных образов в аспекте характерных мотивов, использованных для создания итифаллических изображений в эротических сюжетах и их стилизации в виде животных. Проанализированные изображения «горного козла», «лосекозла» и «хищника» содержат комплексы мотивов, которым присуща смысловая двойственность: они создают образы «реальных» и «монструозных» зверей, и в то же время — итифаллические образы, являясь их стилизацией в образах животных. Художественный приём заключается в имитации реальности и метафорическом сдвиге, в результате чего происходит совмещение «реалистических» и «метафорических» изображений. Доминантой изображений является апотропеический итифаллийческий образ.

The article is devoted to the problem of the semantics of the Scythian animal style images in the Eastern European zone. The issues covered include characteristic motifs and the specifics of modelling techniques for Scythian zoomorphic images. The object of the study consists of 39 images that decorate golden sewn‑on plaques from archaeological sites and locations within the Eastern European zone. The methodological complex included the traditional iconographic, formal‑stylistic and structural‑semiotic methods, and the general scientific hypothetical‑deductive method. The study is novel in that it analyses the models of zoomorphic and monstrous images in the aspect of characteristic motifs used to create ithyphallic images in erotic scenes and their stylization in the form of animals. The analyzed images of the “mountain goat”, “moose goat” and “predator” contain complexes of motifs that are characterized by semantic duality: they create images of “real” and “monstrous” animals, and at the same time — ithyphallic images, being their stylization in the images of animals. The artistic technique consists in imitation of reality and a metaphorical shift, resulting in a combination of “realistic” and “metaphorical” images. The dominant image is the apotropaic ithyphallic image. The systematization of motifs of ithyphallic images and their modeling will be used for a comparative study of all zones of the Scythian‑Siberian animal style.
К вопросу о юго-западных пределах кочевания ненцев (To the Question of the South-Western Limits of Nomadic Nenets)

Published: September 2023

В работе предпринята попытка по-новому рассмотреть некоторые опубликованные исторические источники, в которых можно увидеть прямые или косвенные указания на то, что самоеды-ненцы некогда кочевали дальше от территории своего нынешнего компактного проживания. Были проанализированы царские грамоты и челобитные XVI–XVII вв., записки иностранных путешественников о России того же периода, труды советских и российских историков и этнографов. В этих источниках прослеживаются маршруты продвижения ненцев на запад в разные исторические эпохи. В ходе исследования одной из челобитных было обнаружено свидетельство о том, что торгово-обменные связи ненцев и русских в XVII в. происходили не только в широко известных центрах Пустозерске, Мезени, Обдорске, но и в отдалённом от них Белозерском крае. Более ранние ненецко-русские контакты носили характер военных столкновений, что, возможно, подтверждают некоторые археологические находки на о. Вайгач. Критический подход к рассмотрению автобиографического жизнеописания монаха Лазаря Муромского позволил выдвинуть обоснованное предположение о несправедливости утверждения о кочевании ненцев в XIV в. возле Онежского озера. Кроме того, была доказана ошибочность утверждений некоторых исследователей о широких связях ненцев и саамов в прошлом и распространении саамских топонимов на притоках р. Печора.
The paper attempts to take a fresh look at some of the published historical sources, in which one can see direct or indirect indications that the Samoyed Nenets once wandered further from the territory of their current compact residence. The author analyzed the royal letters and petitions of the 16th–17th centuries, the notes of foreign travelers about Russia of the same period, the works of Soviet and Russian historians and ethnographers. These sources trace the routes of the Nenets advance to the west in different historical epochs. One of the petitions provides evidence that trade and exchange relations between the Nenets and Russians in the 17th century took place not only in the well-known centers of Pustozersk, Mezen, Obdorsk, but also in the remote Belozersk region. Earlier Nenets-Russian contacts took form of military clashes, which may be confirmed by some archaeological finds on Vaygach Island. A critical consideration of the autobiography of the monk Lazar of Murom suggests that the Nenets could not roam near Lake Onega in the 14th century. In addition, the paper rejects the hypothesis of some researchers about the extensive ties between the Nenets and the Saami in the past and the spread of the Saami toponyms on the tributaries of the Pechora River.

Making a water level control system using the Arduino-based prototyping method means making a tool to regulate the water level of the pool automatically. The Arduino platform is used to develop the system, which serves as the main regulator that can control various related components and sensors. The prototype design process enables rapid development of iterative control systems. The system was developed and upgraded to meet the desired performance requirements by using Arduino modules, water pump actuators, water level sensors, and additional components such as LCDs, ultrasonic sensors, buzzers, and relays. At first, the water level sensor is used to measure the water level in the tank. The data from the sensor is processed by the Arduino, and a corresponding control signal is generated. This control signal regulates the water pump to discharge water from the tank according to the set point. When developing this prototype, an important factor to consider is the accuracy and reliability of the control system. When designing this tool, scalability and ease of use were also considered. It is expected that this water level control system tool can provide efficient water level regulation solutions for various applications, such as agricultural irrigation, automatic irrigation systems, water level control storage tanks, and others, using an Arduino-based tool approach.
Modifiable risk factors linked to the development of rheumatoid arthritis: evidence, immunological mechanisms and prevention

Published: September 2023

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease that targets the synovial joints leading to arthritis. Although the etiology of RA remains largely unknown, it is clear that numerous modifiable risk factors confer increased risk to developing RA. Of these risk factors, cigarette smoking, nutrition, obesity, occupational exposures and periodontal disease all incrementally increase RA risk. However, the precise immunological mechanisms by which these risk factors lead to RA are not well understood. Basic and translational studies have provided key insights into the relationship between inflammation, antibody production and the influence in other key cellular events such as T cell polarization in RA risk. Improving our general understanding of the mechanisms which lead to RA will help identify targets for prevention trials, which are underway in at-risk populations. Herein, we review the modifiable risk factors that are linked to RA development and describe immune mechanisms that may be involved. We highlight the few studies that have sought to understand if modification of these risk factors reduces RA risk. Finally, we speculate that modification of risk factors may be an appealing avenue for prevention for some at-risk individuals, specifically those who prefer lifestyle interventions due to safety and economic reasons.
Collaborative Self-Supervised Transductive Few-Shot Learning for Remote Sensing Scene Classification

With the advent of deep learning and the accessibility of massive data, scene classification algorithms based on deep learning have been extensively researched and have achieved exciting developments. However, the success of deep models often relies on a large amount of annotated remote sensing data. Additionally, deep models are typically trained and tested on the same set of classes, leading to compromised generalization performance when encountering new classes. This is where few-shot learning aims to enable models to quickly generalize to new classes with only a few reference samples. In this paper, we propose a novel collaborative self-supervised transductive few-shot learning (CS2TFSL) algorithm for remote sensing scene classification. In our approach, we construct two distinct self-supervised auxiliary tasks to jointly train the feature extractor, aiming to obtain a powerful representation. Subsequently, the feature extractor’s parameters are frozen, requiring no further training, and transferred to the inference stage. During testing, we employ transductive inference to enhance the associative information between the support and query sets by leveraging additional sample information in the data. Extensive comparisons with state-of-the-art few-shot scene classification algorithms on the WHU-RS19 and NWPU-RESISC45 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed CS2TFSL. More specifically, CS2TFSL ranks first in the settings of five-way one-shot and five-way five-shot. Additionally, detailed ablation experiments are conducted to analyze the CS2TFSL. The experimental results reveal significant and promising performance improvements in few-shot scene classification through the combination of self-supervised learning and direct transductive inference.

Esse artigo tem como objetivo estudar as vantagens da aprovação de jogos de azar no Brasil, levando em conta seus impactos sociais e econômicos na sociedade em geral, tendo como base estudos da lei, notícias, artigos e livros relacionados ao tema, propondo-se também a observar a experiência de outros países que permitem os jogos de azar em seu território, e os benefícios que estes países eventualmente experimentam com a sua legalização. A abordagem do presente tema é de grande relevância ao debate público, pois por décadas foi pouco discutido no Brasil. Acredita-se que, se bem executada e administrada, a legalização dos jogos de azar pode ser uma grande fonte de tributos e empregos para o país. Ao se discutir sobre todos os caminhos que acarretam a legalização dos jogos de azar, que já estão em andamento tanto na Câmara como no Senado, pretendemos apresentar alguns projetos de lei e apontar os possíveis benefícios que decorrerão de sua legalização, caso seja aprovada, pensando-se na estrutura necessária que permita que todo seu potencial econômico seja alcançado e que venha a ter seus danos sociais reduzidos ao máximo. Além disso discutiremos a respeito do conceito de loot box, nova modalidade de jogo de azar que surgiu das novas tecnologias, processos tramitados sobre o assunto e legislações aplicadas no exterior.

Os licores se destacam entre as bebidas alcoólicas obtidas por misturas, formulação de matérias-primas variadas com sabores adocicados. É produzido no Brasil de forma artesanal sendo uma bebida tipicamente brasileira. É importante destacar que a bebida agrega valor à produção agrícola. Neste contexto o presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar a produção e avaliar os parâmetros sensoriais dos licores de jenipapo e tamarindo utilizando o álcool de cereais e licores contendo a cachaça. As duas formulações preparadas foram denominadas J1 = jenipapo (álcool de cereais), T1 = tamarinho (álcool de cereais), J2 = jenipapo (cachaça) e T2 = tamarinho (cachaça). Os resultados foram realizados, utilizando o Programa SigmaPlot (2007), versão 10. As avalições sensoriais dos produtos foram bem aceitos pelos provadores. Quanto a análise de intenção de compra conclui-se que os provadores certamente comprariam os licores, no entanto o licor de T2 = tamarinho (cachaça) foi obteve maiores notas e intenção de compra. O que permite concluir que o licor de Tamarindo com cachaça é uma alternativa viável, que além de colaborar na região e ser fonte de renda para agricultura familiar e aproveitamentos dos frutos, reduzindo perdas.
