Sobre un hipogeo fenício descubierto en Almuñecar (Granada) en el siglo XVII
Authors: Martin Ruiz Juan António
Published: October 2022

We examine the available information on a hypogeum where a Phoenician aristocrat was buried which was discovered by chance in the Granada town of Almuñécar during the year 1604. We consider the data provided by some preserved documents from that century about its constructive characteristics, as well as the different elements that made up the grave goods and the ritual that was used. At the same time we will try to insert this finding within our current knowledge about this colony and in particular within some other burial chambers documented in this site.

Published: October 2022

This work presents the results of the study of the set of roman lamps collected during the archaeological excavation carried out in 2004 at Rua Infante D. Henrique Nº 58-60 (Faro, Portugal). This intervention was carried out in a site that use to belong to the roman city of Ossonoba and that had its chronology defined between the first half of the 1st century AD and the first third/half of the 5th. The ceramological study that we present here had as main focus the chronotypological analysis, as well as the iconography and epigraphy present in the lamp fragments. The studied set presents a great diversification in terms of morphologies and the chronology that reflects a more intense occupation of the site is marked out between the middle of the 1st century and the end of the 3rd/beginning of the 4th.

Published: October 2022

Because of climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased, leading to the implementation of energy transition policies. Countries have adopted the Paris Agreement to curb the effects of climate change. The emergence of COVID-19 in 2020 led to the application of different measures to stop its transmission. This study evaluated the effects of COVID-19-related restrictions (such as quarantine and mobility restriction) in Chile during the first wave on compliance with the country's energy transition policies and the goals toward a decarbonized energy matrix by 2050. For this, the main GHG contributors were evaluated. According to updated Chile's fourth biennial climate change report, the main GHG contributor is the energy sector (during the generation and transportation of electricity). In addition, the country’s economic growth during the same period was evaluated by analyzing the quarterly GDP data presented by the Central Bank of Chile. The results indicated a decrease in GHG emissions compared with the same period of the previous 2 years. Because the energy sector contributes 77% of emissions, the fulfillment of the established goals is possible by targeting this sector. However, the COVID-19-related restrictions slowed down the country's economy, as indicated by the significant decreases in quarterly GDP during the study period.

Background

Passive, case-based surveillance underestimates the true extent of active infections in the population due to undiagnosed and untested cases, the exclusion of probable cases diagnosed point-of-care rapid antigen tests, and the exclusive use of at-home rapid tests which are not reported as part of case-based surveillance. The extent in which COVID-19 surveillance may be underestimating the burden of infection is likely due to time-varying factors such as decreased test-seeking behaviors and increased access to and availability of at-home testing.

Objective

The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 based on different definitions of a case to ascertain the extent to which cases of SARS-CoV-2 may be underestimated by case-based surveillance.

Methods

A survey on COVID-19 exposure, infection, and testing was administered to calculate point prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among a diverse sample of cohort adults from February 8, 2022, to February 22, 2022. Three-point prevalence estimates were calculated among the cohort, as follows: (1) proportion positives based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and rapid antigen tests; (2) proportion positives based on testing exclusively with rapid at-home tests; and (3) proportion of probable undiagnosed cases. Test positivity and prevalence differences across booster status were also examined.

Results

Among a cohort of 4328, there were a total of 644 (14.9%) cases. The point prevalence estimate based on PCR or rapid antigen tests was 5.5% (95% CI 4.8%-6.2%), 3.7% (95% CI 3.1%-4.2%) based on at-home rapid tests, and 5.7% (95% CI 5.0%-6.4%) based on the case definition of a probable case. The total point prevalence across all definitions was 14.9% (95% CI 13.8%-16.0%). The percent positivity among PCR or rapid tests was 50.2%. No statistically significant differences were observed in prevalence between participants with a COVID-19 booster compared to fully vaccinated and nonboosted participants except among exclusive at-home rapid testers.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest a substantial number of cases were missed by case-based surveillance systems during the Omicron B.1.1.529 surge, when at-home testing was common. Point prevalence surveys may be a rapid tool to be used to understand SARS-CoV-2 prevalence and would be especially important during case surges to measure the scope and spread of active infections in the population.
On the Unification of the Precession of the Foucault Pendulum, the Earth’s “Precession” and the Mercury Precession by Constructing the Vortex Gravitational Mechanism
Authors: Lixin Yuan
Published: October 2022

Gravitation is generated between static objects, while vortex gravity is generated between moving objects. Forming the integrity and completeness of gravity theory, these complement each other. The vortex gravity mechanism of moving objects is established to solve the objective problem of vortex gravity. The precession of Foucault’s pendulum, the precession of the Earth and the precession of Mercury are objective phenomena, for which there are many different explanations. The author suggests, only by the mechanism of vortex gravity can reveal their operation law and unity of operation. Through the analysis and calculation in this paper, the precession value of mercury produced by vortex gravity is 5025.6", which is different from the observed value 5600", the deviation is -10.26%. which also proves the rationality and effectiveness of establishing the mechanism of vortex gravity. Therefore, the explanation that Mercury precession is caused by planets such as earth is fetched and unreasonable. The establishment of vortex gravitation mechanism can generally solve the kinematic problems of vortex gravitation caused by the motion of objects in physics, geophysics and astronomy. Furthermore, the problem about the determination of the vortex gravitational field strength Bg and the vortex gravitational constant kg in the solar system is put forward. Vortex gravity is the attraction between moving objects, The construction of vortex gravity theory is construction of the basic theory.

Published: October 2022

This study aimed to evaluate the growth and commercial quality of two species of Echeveria plants after the surface of their leaves were treated with artificial dyes. The goal of the experiment was to show that the three main products and processes used for artificial coloring of potted plants by Brazilian nurseries, subject to inspection and quality control for trade purposes, are harmless to the plants and do not impair their growth or market quality. The study is justified by the need to offer safe and scientifically guaranteed indicators for consumers who are concerned about the effects of interventions on plants. Three experiments, with three treatments each, were carried out simultaneously, according to the most frequent artificial coloring products and processes in Brazil. The samples were collected directly from the producers that supply them to the market and composed of young plants, conducted in 11 cm diameter pot and filled with identical commercial substrates for each producer. The plants were kept in the laboratory for 90 days and exposed to lighting of 1,000 lux in alternating cycles of 12 hours light (from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) and 12 hours of dark (from 6:01 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.). The temperature was kept at 22ºC with a tolerance of ± 1ºC and the relative humidity was at 60± 5%. Conclusively, all experiments showed that the interventions were harmless to the plants, and that the new leaves continue to be produced with all the natural characteristics of the species.

Authors: Herrera Ochoa Oscar Javier , Arrieta Camacho Nicolas , Jerez Amador Vianey Lizeth , Camacho Perez Geraldine , Romero Ivan Dario
Published: October 2022

In this article, a model is established for the planning of the weekly distribution of refreshments in a company that produces 6 types of beverages in 3 Production Centers, with the potential use of 3 Distribution Centers and supplying 22 Consumer Centers located in Bogota. Due to the impact of transportation costs on the company profits, it is necessary to determine the optimal planning of the allocation of sources to destinations in the nodal network of the system and its subsequent routing with two types of vehicles. Therefore, a two-phase model is proposed. In the first, the initial optimal assignments are established by comparing two techniques; one based on the Open Transshipment Problem (OTP) and the other on the Capacitated Transshipment Problem (CTP), which determine the trips to be made from production centers to consumer centers using distribution centers as intermediaries. This comparison allowed to analyze its efficiency to choose the model with the lowest cost and number of trips. In the second phase, routing was performed on routes that do not use the full capacity of the vehicles. The routes were established through the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). As a result, a comprehensive model was obtained to carry out the planning of the product distribution, obtaining in Phase II the use of the OTM model, which presented 14% less distance; 2.6% less time and 0.28% less than the total cost compared to the CTP model. In Phase II  5 routes were obtained, of which Distribution Center 2 covers 59% of customers.
The effect of fine W particles in matrix phase on mechanical properties of tungsten heavy alloys
Authors: Kumari Anjali , Sarkar Rajdeep , Panchal Ashutosh , Prabhu G , Nandy T K
Published: October 2022

Tungsten heavy alloys 90W-7Ni-3Co (WNC) and 89.6W-6.2Ni-1.8Fe-2.4Co (WNFC), produced using liquid phase sintering followed by thermo-mechanical processing, were investigated for microstructure and mechanical properties. 90W-7Ni-3Co alloy processed following a cyclic heat treatment showed fine tungsten particles in the matrix. The alloy, when heat treated at a temperature 850°C (the lower temperature of cyclic treatment), formed a W-rich intermetallic phase in the matrix that subsequently dissolved during high temperature (1150°C) solution treatment leaving behind fine W particles. On the other hand, the matrix phase of the alloy, 89.6W-6.2Ni-1.8Fe-2.4Co showed a clean structure devoid of any such precipitates. Both the alloys were subjected to a thermomechanical treatment that included two stage swaging with intermediate heat treatments. 90W-7Ni-3Co alloy exhibited superior strength, but lower elongation to failure and impact toughness as compared to 89.6W-6.2Ni-1.8Fe-2.4Co alloy. Microstructure-property correlation was undertaken in order to elucidate the effect of enhanced W dissolution and fine W precipitates (in the matrix) on mechanical behaviour of the alloys investigated.

Pristine Aisle of Budhi Ganga from Mahabharatafame Hastinapur to Athwart
Authors: Bharati Priyank
Published: October 2022

Abstract: The ancient flow of the Ganges during the Mahabharata period is known today as Budhi Ganga. Earlier, the Ganges used to flow only near the Mound of Ulta Khera (locally Known as Pandav mound). But the floods during the reign of King Nichakshu changed the flow of the Ganges as well as changed the place and left "Budhi Ganga" for his memories. The name of Budhi Ganga is also recorded in the revenue records. In Hastinapur Kauravan, Karna Ghat (bathing place of Karna) was situated at one end of the Ganges whereas Draupadi Ghat (bathing place of Draupadi) and Pandeshwar Mahadev Temple are in Hastinapur Pandavan. All this is still there, but the Ganges has gone far away. A stream of Budhi Ganga passes through Hastinapur Kaurwan Pandavan, Gajpura, Shimla, Dayalpur, Alipur Morna gets in.A stream of the Budhi Ganga, passing through Hastinapur Kaurwan Pandavan, joins the Ganges via Gajpura, Shimla, Dayalpur, Alipur Morna (however in Alipur Morna two streams split from Budhi Ganga, one joins the Ganges and the other proceeds towards Garhmukteshwar).The "Ganga" of hope never left the Ganges and always flowed non-stop in the form of “Budhi Ganga”

Authors: Kumar Kuldeep , Paul Virendra Kumar
Published: October 2022

Abstract: During building fires, the most lethal factor affecting the occupants is the spread of smoke and toxic gases in the compartment, adjacent spaces, evacuation routes, and locations that are remote from the fire origin threatening life and damage to the property of the facility. Smoke and heat control in building fires is a major challenge for the egress of occupants as well as the fire-fighting operations. This paper provides an insight into risks due to the failure of smoke control and ventilation systems. Life and fire safety in and outside the building must also be analyzed in order to limit the spread of fire and control the spread of smoke thereby, offering adequate time and structural stability for the evacuation process as well as firefighting operations. This paper focuses on the identification of factors to establish the critical risk and reliability of the smoke control and exhaust systems in the buildings in an event of a fire
Contextuality in entanglement-assisted one-shot classical communication
Authors: Yadavalli Shiv Akshar , Kunjwal Ravi
Published: October 2022

We consider the problem of entanglement-assisted one-shot classical communication. In the zero-error regime, entanglement can increase the one-shot zero-error capacity of a family of classical channels following the strategy of Cubitt et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 230503 (2010). This strategy uses the Kochen-Specker theorem which is applicable only to projective measurements. As such, in the regime of noisy states and/or measurements, this strategy cannot increase the capacity. To accommodate generically noisy situations, we examine the one-shot success probability of sending a fixed number of classical messages. We show that preparation contextuality powers the quantum advantage in this task, increasing the one-shot success probability beyond its classical maximum. Our treatment extends beyond Cubitt et al. and includes, for example, the experimentally implemented protocol of Prevedel et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 110505 (2011). We then show a mapping between this communication task and a corresponding nonlocal game. This mapping generalizes the connection with pseudotelepathy games previously noted in the zero-error case. Finally, after motivating a constraint we term context-independent guessing, we show that contextuality witnessed by noise-robust noncontextuality inequalities obtained in R. Kunjwal, Quantum 4, 219 (2020), is sufficient for enhancing the one-shot success probability. This provides an operational meaning to these inequalities and the associated hypergraph invariant, the weighted max-predictability, introduced in R. Kunjwal, Quantum 3, 184 (2019). Our results show that the task of entanglement-assisted one-shot classical communication provides a fertile ground to study the interplay of the Kochen-Specker theorem, Spekkens contextuality, and Bell nonlocality.

Principles of Modern Management in the Innovative Activity of Economic Entities
Authors: Shamakhov V. A. , Kudryashov V. S. , Khlutkov A. D.
Published: October 2022

In the 21st century, innovations are necessary because they allow us to withstand the rapidly changing and growing competition in a globalized world. Entrepreneurs who do not introduce innovations face stagnation and lagging behind competitors. Regardless of the size of the enterprise, the volume of production or the field of activity, innovation should be the hallmark of any modern enterprise. The innovation processes that take place at enterprises are determined by an extensive constellation of both internal and external conditions, which should be considered in the category of stimulators, as well as barriers to innovation. Enterprises can use various typical strategies to create and implement innovations. However, they must decide how to act innovatively, which strategy to choose and how to use it to ensure market success.

The article discusses the basic concepts and definitions of innovative activity of the enterprise, considers various approaches to the formulation of the concepts of innovative activity and innovation system. The basic principles of the mechanism of management of innovative activity of the enterprise are defined. The stages of formation of the organizational and economic mechanism of innovation management were also investigated, the theoretical foundations of the formation of such a mechanism were worked out.

The Adolescent: A Novel of Vision
Authors:   Moscow State Institute of Culture, Stepanуan-Rumyantseva Elena V.
Published: October 2022

This article presents the novel The Adolescent by Fyodor Dostoevsky as a text that illustrates the specific visual approach inherent to the prose of the writer. Dostoevsky considers the viewpoints of all his characters, main as well as minor, positive as well as evil. This makes the picture of the world in The Adolescent panoramic and extremely broad, as the visual angles of different characters, and sometimes of the same, are related in the most paradoxical manner, that is, as if they contest each other. The visual element of the novel is enriched by many ekphrastic inclusions. The article adds to the most known and studied of these, the detailed mentioning of Lorren’s “Landscape with Acis and Galatea”, the reference to G. Bellini’s “Lake Madonna”, which reveals a latent interrelationship with the visual world of The Adolescent. The two masterpieces create (one directly and the other subtly) a picture of the Golden Age seen by the internal vision of Versilov, who is the character that determines the ideology of the novel. The author of the article also draws attention to what is explicitly clear to the reader in the text of The Adolescent: the repeating details and situations related to characters that duplicate each other. In order to define such repetitions, the author of the article uses the term dvoichatka (didymous), which was introduced in literary writing by Osip Mandelstam, and should not be considered a strictly academic definition, though capacious and expressive. The novel, which was initially titled “Confusion”, reflects this concept, with the whirling structure of its text and the non-linear development of the plot. However, these repetitions, the duplications of significant as well as of insignificant details, play a regulating role, create a uniform rhythm, prompting the reader to sense and grasp the uniformity of the text, which at first seems non-uniform. The text, which is seemingly imbued with such figures, is essentially ornamentally uniform. Therefore, the visual aspect of The Adolescent is attained both through the vision of the characters and the reader’s ability to comprehend the text.
Confession and Writing in Dostoevsky’s Novel The Adolescent
Authors:   University of Parma, Ghidini Maria Candida
Published: October 2022

This article analyses the specificity of Dostoevsky’s confessional prose, focusing on the novel The Adolescent. Dostoevsky can be defined as a super-confessional author, but he is also characterized by a certain suspicion, and a certain mistrustfulness towards the very process of confession is typical of him. The article attempts to show that this apparent paradox has its origins in the modern context in which Dostoevsky operates, when religious, sacramental confession gives way to a psychological practice of selfaffirmation.
Money and Personality. Notes from the House of the Dead, The Gambler, The Adolescent
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Kovalevskaya Tatyana V.
Published: October 2022

Taking Notes from the House of the Dead, The Gambler, and The Adolescent as its material, the article treats the topic of money in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s works primarily as a metaphysical concept instead of an economic phenomenon of everyday life. Money, “minted freedom,” is intended to replace a person’s inner personality and become that person’s external personality. The person thirsting for money envisions this replacement as a way of gaining boundless freedom that is akin to the freedom of God. In fact, however, the accumulation of money separates a person from other people and from God, deprives that person of their ability to act, of their freedom. The article analyzes the mechanisms of this phenomenon, the various forms of a person’s perception of their relations with the social and metaphysical levels of existence (a person’s “sociomythological status”) in different social strata, and their consequences for the person’s metaphysical self-determination.
The Novel The Adolescent by Fyodor Dostoevsky: Academical and Critical Reflection in German-Speaking Countries (19th–21st Centuries)
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kudryavtseva Tamara V.
Published: October 2022

The article analyzes the scientific and critical reception of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Adolescent in German-speaking countries. The review covers the period from the first translations of the novel into German (1886, 1905, 1915, 1921) and the first responses to the work by writers such as Nietzsche, Hesse, Kafka, and Mann, critics, and researchers of the last third of the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century (Hofmann, Müller, Natorp, etc.) to the present day (Gerigk, Neuhäuser, Garstka, etc.). The analyzed reviews, essays, prefaces to publications, and numerous reprints of the novel throughout the 20th century, scientific articles, monographs devoted to The Adolescent, indicate a fairly stable interest of German intellectuals in this work of Fyodor Dostoevsky. The available material shows that the recipients were somehow interested in all aspects of the novel, from its themes and problems (socio-political atmosphere in society, problems of generational change, family education, growing up, etc.) to the peculiarities of poetics (plot composition, typology of images, novel polyphony etc.). The analysis and evaluation of the novel are usually carried out in direct connection with the realities of the writer’s life, with his worldview, religious, aesthetic views, taking into account the cultural context of the era. The article shows the differences in the reception of the novel at different times, as well as in connection with ideological and purely individual ones, due to the specific task that each recipient sets himself. The common denominator may be found in the recognition of The Adolescent as one of the most famous novels of Dostoevsky, as it is shown by the fact that it is always considered as one of Dostoevsky’s five great novels, or “Pentateuch”; however, it is also true that The Adolescent presents less value and popularity than Dostoevsky’s other novels, as it is proved by the smaller quantity of research about it. Nevertheless, The Adolescent receives well-deserved recognition to this day not only as a relevant work of the famous Russian author but also for the experimental, modernist nature of its artistic structure, thereby consolidating the canonical significance of the novel in the European literary process of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The article analyses the Italian reception of Dostoevsky’s novel The Adolescent. The small number of translations of the novel into Italian, as well as the lack of critical works devoted specifically to it, indicate little interest in the book on the part of both the average Italian reader and the academic community, especially when compared to other works by Dostoevsky. The second part of the article offers an overview of the prefaces to the various editions, which are, in fact, the only works devoted exclusively to the novel in Italian.

Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikolaev Dmitry D.
Published: October 2022

The article analyzes the publications of I.A. Bunin in the Paris newspaper “Vozrozhdenie” (Renaissance) in 1925–1927. Bunin published in the “Vozrozhdenie” articles, essays, poems and stories. The most important role in the history of the newspaper was played by the publication of Bunin’s “Okayanny Dni”. If fictional elements may be fixed in the book edition of “Okayanny Dni”, then in the newspaper edition of “Renaissance” it is important both for Bunin and for the newspaper’s editorial office to install on documentary character of Bunin’s “diary”. Bunin’s “Okayanny Dni” and essays are considered in the article in the context of the newspaper policy. Among the stories and poems published in 1925–1927 new versions of pre-revolutionary works prevail. At the same time, it was on the pages of the “Vozrozhdenie” that Bunin’s famous stories such as “Ida” and “Notre-dame de la Garde” were first published.

Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Trubilova Elena M.
Published: October 2022

Having spent half of his life in exile I.A. Bunin was mostly critical to the representatives of Soviet literature. However, in 1946 two Soviet writers via mail received books with heartfelt autographs from him. The author reveals the reasons for Bunin’s gesture, analyzes the creative interactions between I.A. Bunin and his disciple V.P. Kataev on the one hand, and indirectly between K.A. Fedin who inherited the traditions of classical Russian literature and Bunin as the most prominent representative of it in the 20th century, on the other. It is proved that Fedin, not being personally acquainted with Bunin, had no less right than Kataev to be considered the disciple of Bunin. Materials from the State Museum of K.A. Fedin (Saratov) including materials published for the first time are presented.

Poetics of the Work of I.A. Bunin, 1920–1923
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikolaev Dmitry D.
Published: October 2022

The article analyses the poetics of Bunin’s work of the first years of emigration. The subject of study is all the works of the writer created in 1920–1923: short stories, poetry and journalism. The first publications of works in newspapers, magazines and collections are considered in the sociopolitical and historical-literary context. The image of the writer becomes central to Bunin’s journalism and how the publicist Bunin argues primarily with the journalistic performances of writers. A significant role in the work of Bunin in 1920–1923 plays a controversy with Gorky, which he leads in both journalistic and fiction works. An important element of Bunin’s poetics is intertextuality. The use of this element in the first years of emigration is associated both with the peculiarities of the author’s world feeling, forced to leave Russia, and with the specifics of the readership. Practically without turning to the direct depiction of the life of Soviet Russia and emigration in his fiction of the early twenties, Bunin finds other forms of reflection of the post-revolutionary world perception of Russian man.
