PLANNING EDUCATION, ACCREDITATION AND INTER-PROFESSIONAL LINKS
Authors: Alithamby Mohamed Thalha
Published: September 2016

Planning education is changing with the changing vision on the needs of society for the 21st century. The core ideas of planning centres on: (a) spatial - the management of competing uses of land and the making of places; (b) sustainable - that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs; ( c) integrative - that takes account of the wider set of issues plus bringing together a range of professional skills and disciplines to influence spatial planning delivery mechanisms; and ( d) inclusive - that recognises a wide range of people and opinions that shape planning. Planning is also value driven and action oriented. Professional status of planners comes through providing critical thinking that aims at achieving outcomes and not just procedures, emphasising locational relationships and inter-relationships of the sectoral on the spatial and focusing on what could and should be done based on ethics, values and facts. Based on this the paper outlines the proposed content of planning education. Accreditations of planning schools are then discussed based on the new RTPI recommendation of partnership agreements that are less regulatory and more constructive. Under this topic the qualities possessed by effective planning schools are discussed. Good examples of inter-professional links are then examined with a view towards encouraging similar programs in other Commonwealth countries.

Published: September 2016

Nowadays, public awareness on the potential dangers of environmental problems and the negative impact from the development has been increasing. Public has the right to know and participate in making decisions, particularly in those have potentially affect on the communities in which they live and work. Furthermore, Malaysia is adopting the Rio Declaration - Sustainable Development and Agenda 21. One of the fundamental prerequisites for the achievement of sustainable development is broad public participation in decision-making. Research had been carried out to identify the effectiveness of the public participation programme for Sabak Bemam District Local Plan 2002-2015 and Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020. The research was carried out by collecting feedback from the participants of public exhibitions and workshops for both of the plans. Through the research, it was found that series of workshops are the effective method of public participation for development plan as compared to public exhibition after draft proposal of the plan has been completed. An effective and successful public participation programme should allow members of the community to have an active voice in the process and to have a free access to important information.

Published: September 2016

In the declaration of the Conference on Environment and Development at Rio de Janeiro 1992, the role of indigenous people in environmental management and development for achieving sustainability was recognized because of their knowledge and traditional practice. However, the value and traditional practices of the indigenous communities today has gradually disappeared due to pressure from modernization and influence of market economy, which penetrated them. The study examine the extent to which the knowledge and practice of the Orang Asli community comply with sustainable development principles and how their knowledge and practice could be used to derive a framework for sustainable development strategies of Orang Asli community. As an introduction, this article present an alternative thought on the concept and also suggestions on the characteristics of sustainable community. This study revealed that, sustainable community should be guided by a set of system which maintains the relationship of trinity; i.e. relationship between Man and his Creator, Man and Man, and Man and Environment. Eventually, this would help to attain balanced and sustained development economically, socially, environmentally and spiritually. Another part of the study involves an in-depth case study on the selected Orang Asli Temiar settlements in the state of Perak. Based on a case study of Orang Asli Temiar communities of Kampung Perjek and Kuala Mu, the study evaluated the level of sustainability of the community's base on the indicators formulated. Forty-five (45) indicators were finalized in a comprehensive 1nanner covering economic, social and physical dimensions. These indicators were then categorized into behaviour, system and situational components. Fieldworks were conducted and the level of sustainability of each indicator was analyzed based on the information collected and index was used to measure the overall sustainability. This study shows variability of sustainability levels of each indicator. Findings from the first part of the analysis (sustainability level for each indicator) showed that only nine of the 16 behaviour indicators have achieved sustainability level. Under system category, only two out of 10 indicators achieved the level of sustainability and for indicators under state category, seven out of 19 indicators achieved the sustainability level. Meanwhile, for the index analysis (overall sustainability level of each dimension) it showed that the levels of sustainability were moderate for the social and physical/ecological indicators (42.1 % and 60.0%) and low for the economic indicators (25.0%). Based on the findings and discussions with the local community, this study suggests a framework for the sustainable development strategy which includes; (1) conserve or encourage continuation of current sustainable practices, (2) improve or change the unsustainable or low level of sustainable practices and (3) develop the potential of the area in a sustainable manner.

Published: September 2016

Urban sprawl is a one of the most pressing issues confronting urban development in the developed as well as developing countries. Much research had been done on the trend of urban sprawl and its negative consequences in established cities in the United States, Europe and Australia. This paper analyzes the phenomenon in the three largest metropolitan areas in Malaysia, namely Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bharu Metropolitan Areas. Using population and land use as main variables, it argues that suburban expansion and the resulting urban sprawl has been occurring in these metropolitan areas since 1970 and has intensified since the late 1980s due to the rapid economic growth brought by industrialization. It calls for more sustainable approach in the planning and management of urban areas in Malaysia.

Published: September 2016

Today one of the important concerns of cities is growth by sustainable development. However sustainable urban development has been used in various forms and explained by various definitions, this subject is accompanied by uncertainty. New approaches in urban planning have attempted to achieve sustainable development. One of these is City Development Strategies (CDS), a new strategic planning approach that has been employed in more than 200 cities worldwide to achieve sustainable growth. However, CDS achieve different levels of success in sustainability. This paper takes the initiative to investigate the contribution of CDS toward sustainable urban development by looking for inclusion of principle of sustainable urban development in CDS themes. However CDS themes are various such as sustainable urban development definitions, therefore this inclusion is different. This paper highlights this relationship and inclusion for one the latest definition of CDS presented by Cities Alliance in 2006. This definition can succeed to achieve sustainability on some aspects, especially environmental and economic sustainability and fail to achieve some ones. This output is discussed in relation to CDS themes that have been applied in developing countries.

Rapid urbanisation in Malaysia has resulted in the loss and fragmentation of lowland tropical forests. Due to the modification ofhabitat needs provided by these natural green, the diversity and population of urban wildlife have been significantly reduced. Urban parks provided are recognized as an effective urban conservation strategy to mitigate the effects of urbanisation by conserving, enhancing and creating new habitats for urban wildlife. Potential of neighbourhood green spaces to function as urban wildlife habitats has not been optimized. This research investigates urban residents' responses to different dimension of attitudes toward common wildlife; and their needs for wildlife in the contact of sustainable living in the Klang Valley. The research, has sought to investigate through a combination of surveys and observations on residents' attitudes toward urbanwildlife. The findings demonstrated selective preferences towards urban wildlife while residents displayed strong preferences toward naturalistic landscape elements compared to man-made landscape elements.

Published: September 2016

The large and increasing amounts of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated each year in several industrialised countries have raised concerns on the economic viability and environmental acceptability of the current generation activities. The planning of an optimal regional waste management strategy requires a reliable tool for predicting the amount and the corresponding composition of MSW likely to be produced. Furthermore, for integrated solid waste management, direct and indirect participation of local government's authority is essential. This paper focuses on the existing waste management characteristics of selected local authorities in Malaysia. As a case study, the research considers three local authorities in Selangor State, namely Selayang, Klang and Subang Jaya. This research further identifies the issues concerning the enviromnental effects due to indiscriminate solid waste disposal. The findings of the study are expected to provide useful guidelines to the MSW policy makers.
Ap 12 jako teologia historii
Authors: Nowińska Joanna
Published: September 2016

The Biblical writers notice history as the space of God’s rule. He is the director, who comes into contact with human being through signs – events and words, and also He is the history’s perpetuum mobile. Rev 12 specifically reflect nowadays and the previous in the context of the whole world’s vision and mix the reference to facts (lack of the temple, ark, faithful people, horrible experiences, the death danger), places (the temple, a desert), persons (the Child-Ruler, Michael) with the Old Testament figurative exposing, a typical one for such a book (the Woman with Child, the heaven, the dragon), enriched with a lot of symbols (a crown, a horn, the moon under feet). God’s interference into World history is presented through lightning, voices, thunder, an earthquake and great hail, that stress His power and supremacy. The biblical writer refers to events, which make place whole the time in the natural- and supernatural space, like: the war between God and evil, persecutions, hiding, God’s care of men. The specific literary structure of Rev 12, contrary to the other parts of that book, seem to help to put an accent for the fundamental truths for transcendental theology of history of which the most important is the eternal rule of God and only accidental, finished in the time perspective of Satan’s position.

Перспективы оценки турбулентности сердечного ритма как предиктора фатальных аритмий у пациентов после острого инфаркта миокарда
Authors: Fushtei I.M. , Holdovskyi B.M. , Fedi Mohamed , Sid Ye.V.
Published: September 2016

За последние 20 лет сердечно-сосудистая смертность в развитых странах снизилась, так как были приняты превентивные меры по уменьшению распространенности ишемической болезни сердца. Несмотря на эти обнадеживающие результаты, сердечно-сосудистые заболевания являются ведущей причиной смерти приблизительно 17 миллионов человек в год во всем мире. Одним из новых неинвазивных передовых методов прогноза внезапной смерти у пациентов с ишемической болезнью сердца и желудочковой экстрасистолией после перенесенного инфаркта миокарда может быть оценка турбулентности сердечного ритма. Турбулентность сердечного ритма — это его изменение, которое развивается в ответ на возникающие желудочковые экстрасистолии и проявляется кратковременными колебаниями сердечного ритма.

Published: September 2016

Наибольшие трудности в лечении пострадавших с термической травмой возникают при комбинированном поражении. У таких больных тяжесть и течение шока отягощаются токсическим воздействием продуктов пиролиза на легочную систему и организм в целом. Высокая смертность тяжелообожженных в периоде ожогового шока и в ближайшие сутки после выхода из него свидетельствует о том, что расстройства кровообращения сохраняются длительное время и их коррекция представляет определенные трудности. Авторами доказано, что формирование синдрома гемодинамических расстройств у пострадавших с многофакторным термотоксическим поражением протекает на фоне сниженной перфузии тканей, выраженного метаболического ацидоза с формированием кардиальной дисфункции. Указанные нарушения препятствуют поддержанию необходимого темпа жидкостной реанимации и своевременной компенсации метаболических сдвигов.

Authors: Tsarev А.V.
Published: September 2016

Періопераційна (ненавмисна) гіпотермія розвивається спонтанно як наслідок травми, хірургічного втручання та наркозу в результаті порушення відповідності теплопродукції тепловтратам і інгібування компенсаторної терморегуляційної відповіді. Мета: вивчити вплив ненавмисної гіпотермії на перебіг післяопераційного періоду, розвиток асоційованих із нею післяопераційних ускладнень у пацієнтів із політравмою та оцінити ефективність її усунення з використанням системи конвекційного обігріву. Матеріали та методи. Обстежено 40 пацієнтів із політравмою після оперативних втручань, яким проводилося активне зігрівання з використанням системи конвекційного обігріву Warm Air (CSZ, США) (n = 20) і пасивне зігрівання (n = 20). Вивчалась тривалість і швидкість зігрівання, потреба в трансфузії еритроцитів у післяопераційному періоді і тривалість перебування в умовах ВРІТ. Результати. Тривалість зігрівання в групі з конвекційним зігріванням становила 2,81 ± 0,84 години у порівнянні з 5,57 ± 0,91 години в групі з пасивним зігріванням; швидкість зігрівання становила 0,91 ± 0,29 °С/год та 0,28 ± 0,07 °С/год відповідно. Потреба в гемотрансфузії еритроцитів у групі пацієнтів із конвекційним зігріванням була вірогідно менше (763,00 ± 1,31 мл) у порівнянні з групою з пасивним зігріванням (978,00 ± 1,29 мл). Не виявлено вірогідних відмінностей між групами за тривалістю перебування пацієнтів в умовах ВРІТ. Висновки. Використання в комплексі інтенсивної терапії конвекційної системи зігрівання дозволяє швидко і ефективно нормалізувати температурний гомеостаз у критичних пацієнтів із політравмою.

Authors: Mishchenko T.S. , Mishchenko V.N.
Published: September 2016

Статья посвящена одной из разновидностей головной боли — мигрени. Приведены этапы и критерии успешного лечения приступов мигрени. Лекарственными средствами выбора для терапии приступа мигрени легкой или средней тяжести признаны нестероидные противовоспалительные препараты (НПВП). Одним из наиболее эффективных НПВП для лечения и профилактики мигрени является напроксен натрия (Налгезин форте). Если приступы не удается купировать с помощью НПВП, назначают препараты с более выраженным специфическим действием (триптаны). Лекарственная профилактическая терапия оправданна при частых (не менее 3 раз в месяц) тяжелых приступах мигрени, а также при наличии коморбидных нарушений.

Введение. Одной из главных причин синдрома грудного выхода являются изменения в передней лестничной мышце в результате компрессии плечевого сплетения и подключичных сосудов. Стандартное оперативное вмешательство с целью устранения компрессии позволяет существенно улучшить результаты хирургического лечения, однако, учитывая длительность периода восстановления функций пораженных верхних конечностей и возобновление симптоматики, особенно боли, в послеоперационном периоде, проблема лечения СГВ остается актуальной на сегодняшний день. Целью исследования было улучшение результатов хирургического лечения больных с синдромом грудного выхода, обусловленным изменениями в передней лестничной мышце, путем усовершенствования методов длительной электростимуляции структур плечевого сплетения. Материалы и методы. В клинике восстановительной нейрохирургии были прооперированы 37 пациентов с синдромом грудного выхода, обусловленным изменениями в передней лестничной мышце. Всем пациентам проведены невролиз, ангиолиз и декомпрессия нейрососудистого пучка в надключичной области, в том числе 14 больным с использованием методики длительной электростимуляции структур плечевого сплетения «НейСи-3М» («ВЭЛ», Киев, Украина). Результаты. Сочетание декомпрессии структур плечевого сплетения и подключичных сосудов с дополнительной длительной электростимуляцией в послеоперационном периоде позволило достичь у 92,3 % пациентов положительного эффекта в виде восстановления нервно-мышечного аппарата, чувствительных и трофических функций верхней конечности, а также стабильного регресса болевого синдрома. Выводы. Длительная электростимуляция плечевого сплетения — эффективный метод для восстановления нервно-мышечного аппарата и чувствительных функций верхней конечности, обеспечивающий стабильное купирование болевого синдрома у больных с синдромом грудного выхода.

Залежно від того, на якому рівні відбулося порушення обміну білірубіну, виділяють такі види жовтяниць: надпечінкова, печінкова, підпечінкова. Для надпечінкової жовтяниці характерне підвищення рівня непрямого білірубіну в крові при нормальній активності печінковоклітинних ферментів, паралельно в крові має місце зниження рівня гемоглобіну, еритроцитів і високий ретикулоцитоз. Характерною лабораторною ознакою печінкової жовтяниці є підвищення рівня загального білірубіну за рахунок прямого й підвищення активності печінковоклітинних ферментів. Підпечінкова жовтяниця виникає при порушенні відтоку жовчі з жовчного міхура і жовчних проток у порожнину тонкої кишки.

Authors: Zanin Ediane , Bichel Anathan , Mangilli Livia Galiano
Published: September 2016

In addition to the growing demand for dairy products, recently the population has given greater importance to issues such as sustainability and animal welfare. Thus, producers are adapting to the demands of the consumer market through systems to produce sustainably and quality of life for animals, besides being economically efficient. The silvipastoral system allows combining forestry and livestock activities, and so increasing production efficiency. Among the main benefits of this production system are soil conservation and water resources, the promotion of carbon sequestration and increased biodiversity. In addition, animals raised in this system have a lower risk of thermal stress due to shadow arising from afforestation, favoring animal welfare. Therefore, the silvipastoral system represents a suitable alternative to the production of dairy cattle, once lactating cows need ideal climatic conditions to express their genetic potential, resulting in high production performance. In this way, this study aims to gain a better understanding on the establishment of dairy cattle in silvipastoral system and the influence on their welfare.

Ureteral ectopia is a congenital abnormality of the genito-urinary tract disorder characterized by the insertion of the ureter in the urinary bladder, the most common cause of urinary incontinence in young dogs, occurring predominantly in female animals. Anatomically it is classified as intramural or extramural. In the intramural ureter is attached to the dorsal surface of the urinary bladder, but has failed to culminate in the trigone, while the extramural there is a deviation in full bladder and can occur in both cases unilaterally or bilaterally. The main clinical signs include addition of urinary incontinence, vulvar eczema with hyperpigmentation, hypotrichosis and dermatitis in perivulvar region, hematuria, pyuria and recurrent cystitis. The objective of this article report the case of a bitch pinscher breed, 8 months old, attended at the Veterinary Hospital of UFPI, diagnosed and treated for ureteral ectopia with megaureter and acquired hydronephrosis.

This case report describes an evisceration of a segment of the small intestine in a male, 15-years-old Mangalarga Marchador horse, which was submitted to elective orchiectomy in a stud farm in Alegre, ES, Brazil. Following sedation and local anesthesia, the patient was submitted to the surgical procedure. Fifteen minutes after the end of surgery, hemorrhage from the region of the scrotum was observed, with tissue protruding from the surgical wound in the right scrotal sac. Visual exam revealed that it was a segment of the small intestine protruding from the inguinal ring and surgical wound. The patient was immediately submitted to TIVA (total intravenous anesthesia) and an emergency median laparotomy was performed to reduce the evisceration. The procedure was carried out with success and the right external inguinal ring was sutured. Six hours after the second procedure, the patient presented clinical signs of acute abdomen, and rectal palpation revealed a right inguinal hernia. It was decided to perform euthanasia of the animal as there was no referral large animal surgery center in the region. During necropsy, a segment of the jejunum insinuated in the right inguinal canal was observed, evidencing strangulation and a greenish appearance. Orchiectomy is a relatively simple technique to execute, which can be performed by the veterinary surgeon in the field. However, it presents elevated rates of complications, ranging from 20 to 38% of the cases, which are predominantly associated to surgical technique errors. Intestinal evisceration following orchiectomy is considered an emergency situation, requiring a fast and efficient therapeutic conduct. Its incidence is rare, occurring in between 0.2 and 2.6% of the cases of orchiectomy. It is believed that rectal palpation prior to orchiectomy could aid in the detection of a dilated internal inguinal ring, or any other alteration in this structure. Nevertheless, this practice is not performed pre-operatively in cases of orchiectomy in the equine species.

Technical analysis experiments using repeated measures over time should consider the correlation structure between time and within time. Dry matter production with the usage of high and low nutrient concentration was analyzed in this work. (It) was found through Mauchly test the covariance matrix of the model (which) does not satisfy the criterion sphericity and do not have equal variances and zero correlations. This fact may turn the F test invalid for the analysis of variance applied to the sources of variation present in the subplot, so it used two paths to fix the respective degrees of freedom, and thus ensure that the F distribution is accurate. In the study of dry matter production, it was verified that the use of nutrients in the production of dry matter is not relevant and this fact was confirmed by classical analysis of variance and the corrected variance analysis

The pathological mechanisms that link the metabolic syndrome (MS) and
colorectal cancer (CRC) are most probably related to abdominal obesity and
insulin resistance. This study aimed to assess the relationship between MS
and its clinical characteristics, with CRC. We investigated the changes in
the appearance of MS features three months after surgical treatment, and its
relationship with the concentration of tumor and inflammation markers. The
retrospective cohort study was performed on 193 patients who were diagnosed
with CRC and consequently surgically treated (at the Department of General
Surgery, Clinical Hospital Center ?Bezanijska kosa?, Belgrade). The included
patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of MS. Body mass
index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose,
triglycerides (TG), high density lipoproteins - cholesterol (HDL-C),
carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), ?-fetoprotein (AFP), carbohydrate antigen
19-9 (CA 19-90) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analyzed at the time when
the CRC diagnosis was made and three months after surgery. We observed a
significant decrease in the number of patients with MS three months
postoperatively compared to the number of patients in the preoperative period
(106 versus 81; p<0.001). CRP levels were significantly decreased
postoperatively compared to the preoperative period in patients with MS
(p<0.001). AFP concentrations were significantly decreased (p<0.001), while
CEA and CA 19-9 were significantly increased postoperatively compared to
preoperatively (p<0.001, p<0.001). Further studies should be conducted in
order to examine the influence of MS and its characteristics solely on CRC
prognosis and its overall effect on CRC treatment.
Importance of early ventilation tubes insertion in chronic otitis media with effusion in children with congenital cleft palate
Authors: Subarevic Vladan , Arsovic Nenad , Simic Radoje , Stankovic Katarina
Published: September 2016

Background/Aim. Otitis media with effusion (OME) is almost universal in children with cleft palate with an incidence of more than 90%, but the approach to managing this problem varies significantly among authors. The Eustachian tube dysfunction is the main factor that leads to the presence of the middle ear effusion. This is especially prominent in children with congenital cleft palate and explains the prolonged course of this process. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of early ventilation tubes insertion in children with cleft palate at the time of palatoplasty by monitoring the course and duration of the disease as well as development of complications. Methods. In the prospective study with predefined regular follow-up intervals and parameters, the two groups of children were observed. The group one (E) included 45 children with congenital cleft palate who underwent the early insertion of ventilation tubes during palatoplasty, and the group two (C) had the same number of children with cleft palate who were treated conservatively on an as-needed basis. Assessment parameters were findings of otomicroscopy, tympanometry, play and pure tone audiometry. Each child was followed-up for 5 full years at total of nine follow-up examinations. Results. Result analysis showed that there were no statistically important differences between the two study groups in terms of the course and duration of the presence of the middle ear effusion, or in terms of complications and speech development. Conclusion. Based on the results obtained, we can conclude that there is no significant benefit in early ventilation tubes insertion in children with cleft palate, therefore our recommendation is watchful waiting and a conservative treatment on an as-needed basis, with the ventilation tubes insertion when a surgeon, based on his or her experience and individual findings considers it necessary.

Egypt and Israel: The Ways of Cultural Contacts in the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age (20th – 26th Dynasty)
Authors: Schipper Bernd U.
Published: September 2016

When did literary ideas and Egyptian motifs first find their way to Israel/Judah? The article investigates modes of cultural contact in the Late Bronze and Iron Age (20th – 26th Dynasty). According to archaeological, epigraphic and literary material two ways of cultural contact can be found: an indirect one as a kind of ‘leftover’ of the Egyptian presence in the Southern Levant in the late Bronze Age (20th Dynasty) and a direct one in the 25th and 26th Dynasty. Because of the political development, within the 7th century for the first time direct political and various cultural contacts between Egypt and Israel/Judah existed. In Egypt this period represents a policy of openness in connection with a ‘renaissance’ of older material in the Saite Dynasty. This included wisdom texts, such as the teaching of Amenemope which was used by a Hebrew scribe when writing Proverbs 22:17-23:11.

Gift Exchange and Seaborne Contact in Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt: The Case of Keftiu Artists at Tell el-Dab‘a (Avaris)
Authors: Barnes John Tristan
Published: September 2016

Public acquisition and display of imported prestige goods was a well-recognized method by which Egyptian and wider Near Eastern rulers established status in their own societies and negotiated their place among royal peers. Fresco fragments from the palacesat Tell el-Dab‘a (ancient Avaris), constructed and painted in an Aegean technique, suggest that monumental wall decoration was used in this manner as well. Trade and exchange routes between the Aegean and Egypt have been discussed since the time of Arthur Evans’s excavations at Knossos. These discussions have focused primarily on objects and the political-religious ideas behind artistic expression moving in both directions; however, since walls cannot move, in this case it is the artists who painted them that must have traveled. It is argued here that Aegean fresco artists were imported to work at Tell el-Dab‘a through a process of royal gift exchange, which was negotiated via existing sea routes between the Aegean and Egypt.
Research Report: The Wadi el-Jarf Site: A Harbor of Khufu on the Red Sea
Authors: Tallet Pierre
Published: September 2016

Wadi el-Jarf, located south of Zarafana, has parallels to two other Red Sea sites, Ain Sukhna (Ayn Soukhna) and Mersa/Wadi Gawasis. Over the course of two campaigns (2011-2012), an elaborate complex of storage galleries (some for storage of boat parts), including a system for closure, was excavated, as were camps, facilities for pottery production, dry-stone structures, and an L-shaped jetty with associated stone anchors. Inscriptional evidence allows for interpretation of the organization of the site and a date (reign of Khufu). Seemingly the earliest Egyptian harbor installation on the Red Sea, it may have been superceded by Ain Sukhna.
Research Report: Brief Report of the Project of the Second Boat of King Khufu
Authors: Yoshimura Sakuji , Kurokochi Hiromasa
Published: September 2016

This brief report summarizes the investigation of the second boat of King Khufu at Giza from 1987 to the present. In the late 1980s the Institute of Egyptology at Waseda University began preliminary investigations, including the first sampling of timbers from the boat. Based on the results of these surveys, plans for safeguarding the second boat were made and site facilities were prepared. In 2010 the pyramid enclosure wall standing over the pit of the boat was excavated, and in 2011 the cover stones of the pit were raised. In 2012 a second sampling of wood was undertaken, and now analyses of the condition of the wood and methods of consolidation are taking place.
An Analysis of Two Theories Proposing Domestic Goats, Sheep, and Other Goods Were Imported into Egypt by Sea During the Neolithic Period
Authors: Mark Samuel
Published: September 2016

Based on her work in the Sinai and an evaluation of the appearance of domestic goats and sheep at sites in northeast Africa, Angela Close has proposed a sea route connecting the Sinai and Egypt as the entry point for these animals c. 7000 BP. In an earlier work Béatrix Midant-Reynes had proposed that turquoise, copper, and glazed-steatite beads were imported into Egypt during the Badarian Period via a similar route. A review of the archaeological data suggests that the traditional land route across the northern Sinai is the most likely route connecting Egypt to the Levant for all interaction and trade during the Epipaleolithic and Neolithic Periods.
The Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project: A Preliminary Report of Excavations at Pyla-Viglia, a Fortified Settlement Dating to the Hellensitic Era
Authors: Olson Brandon R. , Caraher William , K. David , Moore R. Scott
Published: September 2016

Since 2003 the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project has systematically investigated a small region near the modern village of Pyla in southeastern Cyprus. Within this study region, the Hellenistic site of Pyla-Vigla is set atop a promontory of the same name, a toponym meaning "lookout." Dating to the late 4th and early 3rd centuries B.C., the site was founded and occupied during a turbulent period in Cypriot history, one that saw the transition from rule by local city kingdoms to outright foreign imperial domination. Pyla-Vigla represents a key strategic position for warring Hellenistic kingdoms with interests in Egypt and those seeking to achieve superiority in the eastern Mediterranean. Recent archaeological work by the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project has shed light on the lives of those living at a Hellenistic fort in Cyprus. Documenting sites like Vigla provides a valuable perspective on day-to-day life in the armies that shaped the Hellenistic world.

At the Border between Egypt and Nubia: Skeletal Material from El-Hesa Cemetery 2
Authors: Francigny Vincent , de Voogt Alex , Kahn Joanna , Harcourt-Smith William
Published: September 2016

In 1924, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York acquired a large collection of both archaeological and documentary material that had belonged to Austrian medical doctor, anthropologist and collector Felix von Luschan. Colloquially termed "The von Luschan Collection", a large portion of this collection consisted of human skeletal remains. Of these remains there are currently 339 individuals designated to the "el-Hesa" sub-collection, which is mainly made up of cranial and associated postcranial elements.
Uncovered in 1907 at Cemetery 2 of el-Hesa, one of the islands of the first cataract of the Nile, this skeletal collection illustrates the difficulties of using osteological material coming from Nubia, at the edge of the Egyptian territory. In particular, physical anthropologists continue to use outdated chronologies when discussing the age of the collection. This review of the el-Hesa collection provides an updated historical context for the remains, including new evidence dating them from the Late Roman period to the beginning of the Christian era.
The Worship of Isis and Serapis in Nomentum (Rome): Some Epigraphic and Archaeological Evidence
Authors: Colazilli Alessandra
Published: September 2016

The cult of Isis and Serapis, very popular outside Egypt during Greek and Roman era, had a deep widespread in Italy and certainly in Rome and its neighborhood. The area around the modern city of Mentana, where rose the ancient Nomentum, has given back some interesting finds which afford to suppose a worship of Isis and Serapis, recently supported by the recovery of a little granite head portraying a priest and imported from Egypt during Roman dominion. Furthermore, inscriptions and isiac symbols carved on some altars also coming from Nomentum, corroborate the hypothesis. Even though no evidence for a temple or shrine consecrated to Isis and Serapis have been discovered yet, the great fame of Egyptian religion and its inclination to syncretism make possible the presence of a priesthood or, at least, a domestic cult in the area under investigation.
