Authors: Шустов Юрий Степанович , Пушкина Жанна
Published: July 2023

Вопросам разработки защитной одежды с каждым годом уделяется всё большее внимание, особенно если это связано с изготовлением рабочей одежды для защиты от термических воздействий. От качества материалов, из которых выполнена специальная одежда, во многом зависят защитные функции спецодежды, а значит и здоровье окружающих. В качестве объектов исследования были взяты 3 образца тканей различного волокнистого состава. В работе приведены сравнительные характеристики физико-механических свойств рассматриваемых тканей. Уровень защиты определяется максимальным значением падающей энергией теплового потока электрической энергии, при котором защитная одежда способна предохранять пользователя от ожогов 2 степени. Рассмотрены уровни защиты верха одежды, а также рассмотрены различные виды многослойных пакетов материалов. В результате исследования выявлены пакеты материалов, соответствующие требованиям стойкости к конвективному теплу.

Authors: Быков Владислав , Ильина Светлана , Равичев Леонид
Published: July 2023

В работе рассматривается применение мембранных процессов как один из альтернативных методов получения электрической энергии. В качестве данных процессов рассмотрен обратный электродиализ. Выделены преимущества и недостатки процесса, а также проблемы его практического применения для получения энергии из морской и речной воды. Показано, что данный процесс нерентабелен, так как при больших производительностях потребление электроэнергии насосами превышает производительность электродиализатора. Были сделаны выводы о возможности применения процесса обратного электродиализа для рекуперации энергии из промышленных сточных вод. Показаны зависимости получаемой мощности от солесодержания низкоконцентрированного и высококонцентрированного растворов, а также от отношения их солесодержаний. На основании данных зависимостей сделаны выводы об оптимальном отношении солесодержаний.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. The accumulation of α-synuclein protein in the basal ganglia is the underlying pathogenesis of PD. Genetic abnormalities are one of the predisposing factors for PD. PDs with GBA gene mutations have abnormalities coding for β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase) enzymes in lysosomes, which lead to increased accumulation of α-synuclein. Ambroxol has long been known as a therapy for airway disorders which also has antioxidant benefits. However, recently, there have been many experimental studies examining the benefits of ambroxol in neurodegenerative diseases, including PD. This study aims to examine experimental studies of ambroxol administration in PD.

Purpose. Present study describe the case of lumbar radiculopathy with radiating pain up to knee joint managed with Mulligan bent leg raise (BLR) technique. Case presentation. Total six intervention sessions were carried out over two consecutive weeks, three times per week. Three repetitions of BLR techniques with 5-10 seconds of sustained stretch with one minute rest between each repetition were given on first visit. On consecutive visits six repetitions were delivered in pain free zone. Study outcomes were measured by using straight leg raise (SLR) range of motion and “visual analog scale (VAS)” for back and leg pain. After two weeks of interventions, range of motion of SLR was increased from 45° to 56° while VAS score improve by 3 points both in back and radiating thigh pain. Conclusions. Mulligan BLR technique resulted in reduction in back and radiating thigh pain as well as increase in range of SLR. Therefore, Mulligan BLR technique can be used a first line of treatment in lumbar radiculopathy with radiating pain up to knee joint.

Pandemic is a phenomenon that has been occurring for decades. In the past two years, the world has again faced a pandemic situation due to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world to a standstill. People also experience psychological stress conditions in the form of anxiety, worry, and anger due to the social impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as has happened in other countries. Social distancing regulations lead to an increase in psychiatric symptoms, including stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. Sleep disturbances can also have a negative impact on health, quality of work, and the risk of bad behavior or events in the workplace, as well as the risk of work-related accidents or injuries. There is a correlation between the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the neuroendocrine stress axis. The ability of an organism to adapt to the stressors encountered involves the sympathoadrenal system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The interactions between these two systems play an important role in adaptation. Excessive or chronic activation of the endocrine stress axis, which also causes feedback loop disruption, triggers and contributes to a variety of stress disorders and conditions in humans, including anxiety, sleep disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, and job burnout.

Background. This case report highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment for intramedullary spinal cord hemangioma, which is a rare condition that can present with common symptoms of various spinal cord pathologies. The report recommends decompression laminectomy as the appropriate intervention for this condition. This report adds to the existing clinical literature on intramedullary spinal cord hemangioma and can assist clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of similar cases. Case report. The patient is a 30-year-old female who complained of left leg heaviness, cramps, numbness, and urinary incontinence. MRI revealed a suspected intradural intramedullary lesion, as high as VTh5, suspected to be ependymoma or astrocytoma. The patient underwent decompressive laminectomy on thoracalis vertebra 5-7 and spinal cord mass with hemorrhage and calcification components was observed on post-operative Spinal CT Angiography. The mass was found to have a feeder artery from spinal branches of the left right a. intercostalis at T5 level and spinal branches of the left a. intercostalis at T6 level. Thoracolumbar spondylosis was also observed. Conclusion. The clinical impact of vertebral hemangioma lies in its potential to cause neurological deficits due to spinal cord or nerve root compression. Early diagnosis and treatment through imaging modalities such as MRI and surgical intervention, such as laminectomy, can alleviate symptoms and prevent disability or mortality. However, careful consideration of the patient’s clinical history, imaging findings, and neurological status is necessary for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
SANAL SOSYAL AĞ AİDİYETİ VE DİJİTAL YERLİ GENÇLİK
Authors: BOZDAĞ TULUM Arzu , KAYA Yaşar
Published: July 2023

Dünyada ve Türkiye’de yoğun olarak kullanılan sanal sosyal ağlar hem bireysel hem de sosyal hayatı etkileyen ve değiştiren çok önemli bir etken haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada bilimsel ve teknolojik gelişimin ortaya çıkardığı dijitalleşme ve bunun toplumsal yaşama olan etkileri sonucunda ortaya çıkan sanal sosyal ağların, geleceğin yetişkin kuşağı olacak “Dijital yerliler” in aidiyet tutumlarında nasıl bir etkiye sahip olduğunu araştırılmaktadır.
Etkili görünümleri ile bir problem alanı haline gelen sanal sosyal ağlar Barnes’ in tanımıyla “bireyler arasındaki rastlantısal tanışmalardan, ailevi bağlara kadar uzanan ilişkilerin bir haritası”dır. Bu bağlamda her türlü ilişki ve etkileşimde baş rollerde karşımıza çıkan sanal sosyal ağlar bir şekilde hayatımızda yer almakta ve eski ile yeniyi tamamen değiştirmektedir.
Sanal ortamda veya başka bir ifadeyle siber uzayda; ortak amaç, ilgi veya ortak değerler etrafında birleşen insanların oluşturduğu grupları ifade eden sanal sosyal ağlar, bu ağlara dahil olan bireyler için kullanılacak bir araç olmaktan daha fazla anlamlar kazanarak, en içteki âlemlerimizin bir bileşeni olarak, kimliğimizin inşa edildiği merkezi bir eksen haline gelmektedir. Bu bağlamda bireyler, kendilerini sosyal ağlara bağlı varlıklar olarak sunma eğilimi göstermektedirler.
Son yıllarda bireyler ve özellikle bir gençlik kategorisi olarak ortaya çıkan “Dijital Yerli” gençler, bu sanal ağların sunduğu imkanlar ile yaşadıkları bölgelerin fiziksel sınırlarını aşarak, dünyanın her bölgesinden, farklı ülkelerin ve toplumların insanları ile milli sınırlardan bağımsız olarak, kendi seçtikleri değişkenlere göre, iletişime geçebilmekte ve bu iletişim ve etkileşim süreçleri sonucunda, kendi (özel) kimlik ve aidiyet algılarını inşa edebilmektedir.

ROLES OF INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS ON PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST: EXAMPLE OF THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS
Authors: GÖZÜM Prihan , YILDIRIM Yasin , YILDIRIM Rabia
Published: July 2023

Since time immemorial, the Middle East has periodically suffered numerous and various conflicts. Throughout the ages, these conflicts and their reasons have been analysed from different perspectives and varied resolutions have been offered. However, so far, efforts have had limited success and many conflicts remain. Moreover, the region has also been suffering from environmental problems and environment-related conflicts for a long time. Nevertheless, as such problems and conflicts are exacerbating, general awareness over the protection of environment and desire for environmental justice and peace is also increasing. The Abraham Accords, signed between the State of Israel and 4 Arab nations, are the most recent and solid reflections of this awareness and desire, as the Accords created a new chance for parties to normalize their relations, and allowed parties to protect fragile environment of the region by predicting cooperation on vital topics namely environment, and water. Moreover, the Accords set an example to normalize other strained relations and long-standing environment-related conflicts in the region. Eventually, by initiating such legal and political co-operation processes, regional actors can take many social and environmental advantages while ensuring a degree of prosperity and security at the same time in the region which desperately needs it.
A Skyrme Model with Novel Chiral Symmetry Breaking
Authors:   Durham University, UK, Sutcliffe Paul
Published: July 2023

An extension of the Skyrme model is presented in which derivative terms are added that break chiral symmetry to isospin symmetry. The theory contains just one new parameter and it reduces to the standard Skyrme model when this symmetry breaking parameter vanishes. The same Faddeev-Bogomolny energy bound applies for all parameter values, but the parameter can be tuned so that the energy of the single Skyrmion is much closer to the bound than in the standard Skyrme model. Applying the rational map approximation to multi-Skyrmions suggests that, for a suitable value of the symmetry breaking parameter, binding energies in this theory may be significantly more realistic than in the standard Skyrme model.
Observational Prospects of Double Neutron Star Mergers and Their Multimessenger Afterglows: LIGO Discovery Power, Event Rates, and Diversity
Authors: Aghaei Abchouyeh Maryam , van Putten Maurice H. P. M. , Amati Lorenzo
Published: July 2023

The double neutron star (DNS) merger event GW170817 signifies the first multimessenger (MM) event with electromagnetic-gravitational (EM-GW) observations. LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observational runs O4-5 promise to detect similar events and as yet unknown GW signals, which require confirmation in two or more detectors with comparable performance. To this end, we quantify duty cycles of comparable science quality of data in coincident H1L1-observations, further to seek consistent event rates of astrophysical transients in upcoming EM-GW surveys. Quite generally, discovery power scales with exposure time, sensitivity, and critically depends on the percentage of time when detectors operate at high quality. We quantify coincident duty cycles over a time-frequency domain W × B, defined by segments of duration W = 8 s, motivated by a long-duration descending GW-chirp during GRB170817A, and the minimum detector noise over about B = 100–250 Hz. This detector yield factor satisfies 1%–25% in S5-6 and O1-O3ab, significantly different from duty cycles of H1 and L1 individually with commensurable impact on consistency in event rates in EM-GW surveys. Significant gain in discovery power for signals whose frequency varies slowly in time may be derived from improving detector yield factors by deploying time-symmetric data analysis methods. For O4-5, these can yield improvements by factors up to

relative to existing data and methods. Furthermore, the diversity of MM afterglows to DNS mergers may be greatest for systems similar to GW170817 but possibly less so for systems of substantially different mass such as GW190425. We summarize our findings with an outlook on EM-GW surveys during O4-5 and perspectives for next-generation GRB missions like THESEUS.
Propagation of Very-high-energy γ-Rays from Distant Blazars
Authors: Dong L. J. , Zheng Y. G. , Kang S. J.
Published: July 2023

We rederive the possible dependence of the redshift with a very-high-energy (VHE) γ-ray photon index. The results suggest that the universe to VHE γ-rays is becoming more transparent than expected. We introduce the extragalactic background light (EBL) and photon to axion-like particle (ALP) oscillations to explain this phenomenon. We concentrate our analysis on 70 blazars up to redshift z ≃ 1. Assuming this correlation is solely the result of photon-photon absorption of VHE photons with the EBL, with deviations between the predictions and observations, especially at redshifts 0.2 < z < 1. We then discuss the implications of photon-ALP oscillations for the VHE γ-ray spectra of blazars. Strong evidence shows that (1) the results of the EBL attenuation show that the VHE γ-ray photon index increases nonlinearly at the ranges of redshift 0.03 < z < 0.2 and (2) the photon-ALP oscillation results in an attractive characteristic in the VHE γ-ray photon index at the ranges of redshift 0.2 < z < 1. We suggest that both EBL absorption and photon-ALP oscillation can influence the propagation of VHE γ-rays from distant blazars.

Recent studies have proposed that the nuclear millimeter continuum emission observed in nearby active galactic nuclei (AGNs) could be created by the same population of electrons that gives rise to the X-ray emission that is ubiquitously observed in accreting black holes. We present the results of a dedicated high-spatial-resolution (∼60–100 mas) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) campaign on a volume-limited (<50 Mpc) sample of 26 hard X-ray (>10 keV) selected radio-quiet AGNs. We find an extremely high detection rate (25/26 or

), which shows that nuclear emission at millimeter wavelengths is nearly ubiquitous in accreting SMBHs. Our high-resolution observations show a tight correlation between the nuclear (1–23 pc) 100 GHz and the intrinsic X-ray emission (1σ scatter of 0.22 dex). The ratio between the 100 GHz continuum and the X-ray emission does not show any correlation with column density, black hole mass, Eddington ratio, or star formation rate, which suggests that the 100 GHz emission can be used as a proxy of SMBH accretion over a very broad range of these parameters. The strong correlation between 100 GHz and X-ray emission in radio-quiet AGNs could be used to estimate the column density based on the ratio between the observed 2–10 keV (

Published: July 2023

The SNAD team has developed an adaptive learning algorithm, named Pine Forest (PF), to enhance anomaly detection in astronomical data. Recognizing the essential role of human engagement in the discovery process, PF presents outliers to a human expert for review, and filters out trees which disagree with the feedback provided. During the sixth annual SNAD workshop (https://snad.space/2023/), held in 2023 July, we applied PF to the Zwicky Transient Facility’s DR17 data. Interesting discoveries include long-duration objects such as supernovae, along with fast transients like red dwarf flares and one microlensing event. As a result, new variable stars were identified and labeled in the SNAD knowledge database.

Published: July 2023

Background/Aims: The short- and long-term effects of adalimumab (ADA) on Korean patients with intestinal Behcet’s disease (BD) for remain unclear. Therefore, a multicenter study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ADA in Korean patients with intestinal BD in a real-world setting.Methods: The medical records of 67 patients with BD prescribed ADA between January 2012 and December 2020 at five referral centers in Korea were retrospectively analyzed and the safety and efficacy of ADA within 52 weeks were assessed. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ADA, the Disease Activity Index for Intestinal BD (DAIBD) and representative blood biochemical markers were compared at 0, 12, 24, and 52 weeks of ADA treatment.Results: During the follow-up period of 52 weeks, 46 patients continued ADA treatment. The cumulative drug survival rate was 83.5%. The DAIBD score decreased over the study period (p < 0.001). Moreover, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum C-reactive protein levels, and serum albumin levels significantly improved at 12, 24, and 52 weeks of ADA treatment (all, p <0.05).Conclusions: As ADA is effective for refractory intestinal BD with few safety concerns in real-world situations, it is a potential treatment option for Korean patients with intestinal BD.

Rasgos sintácticos en glosas aljamiadas de un glosario-comentario bíblico hebreo del s. XIII
Authors: Del Barco Javier
Published: July 2023

Este artículo analiza los rasgos sintácticos de glosas romances aljamiadas que se encuentran en un glosario-comentario bíblico del s. xiii. Estos rasgos se analizan en comparación con los romanceamientos bíblicos medievales que son traducción del hebreo, así como con traducciones sefardíes posteriores a la expulsión de los judíos de la península ibérica, en particular con la Biblia de Ferrara. El análisis realizado sugiere que algunos rasgos coinciden con los romanceamientos, mientras que otros coinciden en mayor medida con una tradición distinta, que es la reflejada en la Biblia de Ferrara y otras traducciones bíblicas sefardíes.

Métrica, poética y humanismo en el Laberinto de Fortuna de Juan de Mena
Authors: Márquez Guerrero Miguel Ángel , Gómez Canseco Luis
Published: July 2023

Juan de Mena se propuso componer su Laberinto de Fortuna como una epopeya inspirada en los modelos clásicos. En esa concepción poética, la métrica fue un elemento clave. Mena partió de esquemas acentuales latinos, clásicos y medievales, para vincular su verso de arte mayor al hexámetro. Las aparentes anomalías solo son la manifestación de la coexistencia de dos sistemas métricos: el original y más común patrón isorrítmico, y el patrón isosilábico, incipiente en el Laberinto, pero bien consolidado en obras como la Comedieta de Ponza.

Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus: un proverbio clásico en Lope de Vega
Authors: Sánchez Jiménez Antonio , Sáez Adrián J.
Published: July 2023

Este estudio examina la aparición de un proverbio terenciano (“Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus”) en la obra de Lope. Tras mostrar que el Fénix lo emplea en al menos diez de sus obras, explicamos que debió de encontrarlo no en su fuente original, sino en alguno de los manuales de retórica del momento, en los que se usaba como ejemplo metonimia. Asimismo, precisamos que Lope solo usa el proverbio a partir de la Arcadia, tal vez debido a su intento de presentarse como un autor prestigioso, y que la mayoría de las menciones proceden de la época del reinado de Felipe III. Por último, clasificamos los usos según respondan a preocupaciones retóricas, amorosas, religiosas, cortesanas o burlescas, explicando cómo cambia en cada una de estas líneas.
Participatory Moral Reasons: Their Scope and Strength
Authors: Cullity Garrett
Published: July 2023

A familiar part of ordinary moral thought is this idea: when other people are doing something worthwhile together, there is a reason for you to join in on the same terms as them. Morality does not tell you that you must always do this; but it exerts some pressure on you to join in. Suppose we take this idea seriously: just how should it be developed and applied? More particularly, just which groups and which actions are the ones with respect to which you have participatory moral reasons? And just when is it wrong not to join in? I present answers to these questions, and discuss the implications—including for joint action on a very large scale, like global efforts to address climate change or fight a pandemic.
Monochromatic Excimer Light in South Indian Patients (Skin Type IV, V, and VI) with Palmoplantar Psoriasis: A Case Series
Authors: Mohanan Saritha , Thappa Devinder Mohan
Published: July 2023

Monochromatic excimer light (MEL) is available in India, although there is not much data on Indian patients. MEL was offered to 10 Indian patients with palmoplantar psoriasis and a response was noted. The mean percentage fall in erythema, scaling, infiltration, and fissuring score among our patients was 62% (standard deviation [SD] 17.2%) in the mean of 10.4 sessions (SD: 4.1). Thus, MEL appears to be a promising treatment option for Indian patients.

Вариации $v$-замены времени в задаче оптимального управления с фазовыми и смешанными ограничениями
Authors: Dmitruk Andrei Venediktovich
Published: July 2023

Для общей задачи оптимального управления с фазовыми и регулярными смешанными ограничениями предлагается доказательство принципа максимума с помощью так называемой $v$-замены времени $t \mapsto \tau$, при которой исходное время становится еще одной фазовой переменной, подчиненной уравнению $dt/d\tau = v(\tau)$, а дополнительное управление $v(\tau)\geqslant 0$ кусочно постоянно, и его значения служат аргументами новой задачи.

Longitudinal and Lateral Dynamics Simulation of an 11-Axle, 91-Ton
Vehicle Combination for the Sugarcane Industry
Authors: de Oliveira Paulo Ricardo Araujo , de Almeida Lima Vinicius , Bougo José Igor Calsavara
Published: July 2023

The sugarcane industry holds the second largest share of production value in the
Brazilian agricultural sector, with Brazil responsible for more than 20% of the
world’s production. Therefore, the increase of efficiency in the production
process of sugarcane is an object of interest for producers, with transportation
playing an important role in the process, both economically and environmentally.
Intending to improve the efficiency in the transportation of sugarcane between
cultivation and processing facilities, this work uses simulations to analyze
safety aspects of a vehicle combination with 11 axles and 91ton capacity, new to
the Brazilian transportation system. Several procedures were performed in a
virtual environment to evaluate the vehicle longitudinal and lateral dynamics,
including weight distribution, overtaking performance, rollover threshold,
rearward amplification, braking and gradeability. The study is focused on
providing information about the feasibility and safety of this vehicle
combination in highway traffic. The simulations were made in the software
TruckSim 2020.1, from Mechanical Simulation, broadly used by the automotive
industry due to its friendly interface when modeling the vehicle and test
procedures. The results obtained indicate that it is possible for these vehicles
to operate safely, as long as some restrictions on the trailer design and
traffic engineering are respected, allowing to increase the efficiency in
sugarcane transportation without compromising traffic safety.
Method for Fatigue Life Analysis in Road Implement Chassis from Power
Spectral Densities
Authors: Costa Felipe Acordi , Vieceli Alexandre , Corso Leandro Luís , Bernardi Rodrigo
Published: July 2023

This paper presents the development of a method for the fatigue life analysis in
chassis of road implements from power spectral densities, bringing a new
possibility for fatigue analysis and reducing the probability of a prototype
having fatigue failure. The method was executed by deploying triaxial and
uniaxial accelerometers at various points on the road implement chassis, and
performing finite element analysis, while it was driven on various road
surfaces. Within the proposed method, three types of analyzes were performed:
the operational modal analysis; harmonic and modal analysis; and fatigue life
analysis. To perform the operational modal analysis, the signals were treated
with low-pass and window filters and converted to the frequency domain. As a
result, the modal data referring to the implement are inserted as properties of
a virtual chassis model in finite elements to obtain frequency response
functions through harmonic and modal analysis. A matrix of power spectral
densities was also created from the accelerations obtained so that, together
with the frequency response functions and, from stress calculation techniques,
the spectral moments are obtained. To calculate the fatigue life, the Dirlik or
Tovo-Benasciutti methods were employed using spectral moments to obtain the
probability density functions. These functions, along with S-N curves, were then
utilized to determine the fatigue life. The fatigue life was calculated both in
the time and frequency domains for two chassis models, one simplified and the
other being a full representation. The simplified model presented approximate
results in both domains, in the time domain, the worst life presented itself at
11.200 km and, in the frequency domain, 8.900 km. The complete model showed a
variation in the results, 847.000 km in the time domain, and 0.05 km in the
frequency domain.

Of late, CODESRIA has been experiencing problems publishing Africa Development regularly and has consequently accumulated a backlog of volumes. We sincerely apologise to our readership for failing to live up to their expectations, and pledge not only to clear the backlog, but also to restore the status of Africa Development as CODESRIA's flagship since 1976. To ease our task in this regard, we are now reinforced by a new editorial advisory board and an enriched pool of peer reviewers. In this context, we are appealing to all scholars and practitioners in the Social Sciences and Humanities to renew interest in the journal through their quality submissions on institutions and processes that impinge upon development in Africa. Proposals for guest-editorship on special themes are most welcome. Africa Development remains committed to its principal objective of providing a forum for the exchange of ideas among scholars of Africa from a variety of intellectual persuasions and various disciplines.
The Publications and Communication page of the CODESRIA website (www.codesria.org) offers information on other journals working in conjunction with Africa Development to foster greater recognition and representation of African realities and perspectives in global knowledge production and consumption. In particular, we would like to draw your attention to our latest initiative, the Africa Review of Books, which offers a forum for critical presentation of books produced on Africa within and outside the continent. The Review is central to our goal of projecting interesting original works of art and science produced in Africa that might otherwise be lost on account of poor visibility. It is intended as a key barometer of trends in the study of Africa and a pacesetter for an all-round improvement in standards and quality.
This issue of Africa Development (Vol XXVII, Nos. 1&2, 2002) continues with reflections on various aspects of some national economies, and touches as well on democratization, identity politics, education and the political economy of terrorism. The contributions are instructive in the questions they raise and in the substantiations they make.
I re macedoni e le due corone di Zeus
Authors: Santagati Elena
Published: July 2023

The Macedonian Kings and the Two Wreaths of Zeus This paper aims to investigate the reasons why, since the reign of Philip II, the “national” Zeus, venerated on Olympus and Dion and characterized by the oak crown, was abandoned in favor of the Olympian Zeus of Elis, characterized by the olive/oleaster wreath. We notice that while the members of the royal family display, in life and death, an oak wreath as an insignia of their kingship, and at the same time also as a symbol of their highest divinity, the kings themselves issue the image of the panhellenic god with an olive/laurel wreath on their coins.

Metallum Messallini – A New Roman Lead Ingot from the Danube Provinces
Authors: Rothenhöfer Peter , Bode Michael , Hanel Norbert
Published: July 2023

A Roman lead ingot with the mould mark metallo Messallini provides highly interesting insight into the economic side of power politics pursued by the first Roman emperor Augustus. The proprietor of the mine, Messallinus, can be identified with Marcus Valerius Messalla Messallinus, consul in 3 BC and governor of Illyricum in AD 6. At the beginning of the Illyrian revolt in AD 6 he achieved important victories over the insurgent tribes. The mines were likely a gift from Augustus (who owned mines in that region) to  Messallinus for his deeds. The shape of the panel and the inscription on the ingot as well as lead isotope analysis suggest an origin in  the ore regions of Serbia and the Kosovo. According to the isotope comparison, the mines were located in the district of today’s Novo Brdo in eastern Kosovo (Figure 1).

Published: July 2023

The river Brahmaputra and Jamuna have a significant contribution to water transportation, agriculture, and the livelihood of people living on the river banks. Ensuring the proper utilization of these channels, accurate water discharge prediction is a must since it can be of benefits for managing the river and allocating water resources. In this study, three different machine learning algorithms, K-nearest neighbor, decision tree, and random forest regressor, along with different hyperparameters, are presented, which have been found more efficient among the other machine learning approaches. Daily water level and maximum velocity were used as explanatory variables, and water discharge was used as a response variable. Data from 2005 to 2013 was used for training the model, and 2014 to 2019 was used for evaluation. Among these three models, the k-nearest neighbor has performed exceptionally well. This model's R2 value and mean absolute percentage error are 0.9447 and 17.38, respectively. The obtained discharge rates are further compared with previously recorded discharge data before, during, and after major floods in those regions and which are found to have a linear relationship with river flooding.
