Published: February 2023

Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) has high economic value and opportunities for local and export market demand. The present study aims to investigate growth and exploitation status of the resource. Data collection was carried out in April-August 2021 by collecting catch data from fishermen at four fish landing sites in Manokwari. Skipjack tuna caught from the fishermen were caught in the waters around Manokwari. The size of skipjack tuna measured ranged between 260 mm and 760 mm, with an average monthly size ranging between 540 mm and 595 mm. The relationship between total length and body weight of skipjack tuna followed the equation W = 0.00006L2.7702, where the b value of 2.7702 indicates that the growth pattern of skipjack tuna (K. pelamis) is negative allometric. The growth model using the von Bertalanffy model, found asymptote length (L∞) of 792.75 mm, growth rate (K) of 0.75 year-1 and theoretical age (t0) of -0.0254 years. The total mortality (Z) was 1.32 yr-1. Natural mortality (M) was 0.61 yr-1. The mortality due to capture (F) was 0.71 yr-1. The exploitation rate of 0.54 indicated that the exploitation rate of skipjack tuna in the waters around Manokwari has slightly exceeded the optimum utilization rate. The spawning potential ratio (SPR) value was 16%, which was less than the lower reference point (20%).

D’ARS BENE DICENDI AUX DIFFÉRENTES FORMES DE POLYSÉMIE
Authors: Miljković Ivana
Published: February 2023

La présente monographie se veut illustrer, d’une façon globale, trois champs qui, à première vue, peuvent sembler assez différents. Dans un premier temps, nous décrivons la linguistique en tant que discipline scientifique multidisciplinaire, en décrivant la sémantique plus en détail. Ensuite, nous parlons brièvement de la rhétorique, de ses origines jusqu’à nos jours. La rhétorique – art de persuader – s’est développée à l’époque antique et dans ce but nous présentons les grands rhéteurs et orateurs. Les rhéteurs, en voulant toucher, persuader et convaincre leur public, utilisaient les figures de style. À cette époque, les figures de style relevaient plutôt d’ars bene dicendi, pour entrer presque en même temps dans la littérature. Cependant, leur nature langagière suscite la curiosité des philosophes. Aristote essaie d’expliquer la nature de la métaphore. Cela nous amène au chapitre suivant dans lequel nous abordons, d’une manière assez détaillée, les figures de style et les tropes. Comme point de départ, nous avons pris les écrits de Dumarsais et de Fontanier. Nous insistons notamment sur la métaphore et la métonymie, ainsi que sur les figures dérivées de la métonymie, à savoir la synecdoque et l’antonomase. La métaphore et la métonymie sont présentées, selon notre point de vue, à l’aide des ensembles. Cette approche ensembliste englobe aussi la synecdoque. L’intersection entre deux ensembles matérialise les sèmes en commun. Ceci nous amène à la polysémie qui permet la bonne compréhension des tropes. Ainsi arrivons-nous à la polysémie, aspect principal de notre intérêt. En nous intéressant à toutes formes de polysémie, nous présentons la théorie des facettes, les zones actives, ainsi que les théories cognitives associées. Bien-sûr, cette étude n’est pas exhaustive. Elle représente une modeste façon de mieux tracer le chemin de la polysémie. Dans notre monographie nous nous sommes servie aussi de quelques articles, plus ou moins adaptés, qui sont déjà publiés dans différentes revues linguistiques.
Political Iconography vs Potestary Imagology: Research Centers, Heuristic Potential and Methodological Frameworks
Authors: Levchenko I.
Published: February 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the heuristic potential, methodological framework and research direction of two (sub)disciplines – political iconography and post-war imagology.

The scientific novelty consists in revealing aspects of the development of political iconography and post-modern imagology that have not been sufficiently studied by historical science, in particular on the example of Ukrainian historiography at the current stage (1991–2022).

The research methodology involves adherence to the principles of scientificity, development, systematicity, historicism, and historiographical tradition. Research methods are general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, and deduction, as well as historical methods, in particular historical-genetic, historical-systemic, and the method of source criticism.

The source base of the research consists of the texts of Martin Warnke, Abi Warburg, Alois Riegl, Mikhail Boytsov, in which the terminological apparatus of art history, visual history, political iconography, and post-historical imagology is partially or fully substantiated.

It has been found that there are almost no studies in the framework of political iconography in Ukraine, but studies using the methods of imagology, post-historical imagology, and historical imagology have gained active development. Post-test imagology, proposed by M. Boytsov, continues research in philology, comparative linguistics, and political history. The problems of post-war imagology cover, first of all, the problems of alienation, the mechanisms of creating and functioning of stereotypes, images of power, and the effects of images on society. Political iconography proposed by M. Warnke at the beginning 1990s, is a logical continuation of Warburg iconography, art history and visual studies. Recognizing that the main political center is not narrative, but visual sources, researchers of political iconography analyze the communicative space in which the image (German: bild) is an independent actor that implements its own policies. Thanks to the images, the space is semiologized and transformed into a political space.
ANALYSIS OF SPACE SYSTEMS FOR MOVING WATER SURFACE OBJECTS IDENTIFICATION
Authors: Fryz S. P. , Kalvatynskyi O. V. , Sobolenko S. O. , Avsiievych R. O.
Published: February 2023

The governing documents assume the creation in Ukraine by 2025 of a state integrated system of water surface and underwater environment of the Black and Azov seas and the basins of the Dnipro and Danube rivers, as well as a system of operational (combat) control, communication, intelligence and surveillance (C4ISR) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Both systems will function in the interests of the Naval Forces of Ukraine and will enable receiving operational data on the water surface environment for the purpose of protecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, as well as countering illegal activities within the exclusive (maritime) economic zone of Ukraine.
The article considers the possibility of using space systems for moving water surface objects identification as part of the targeted water surface environment detection systems. The mentioned space systems allow to simultaneously solve all three tasks inherent in water surface environment detection systems, i.e. detection, identification and observation of moving water surface objects. In the article, moving water surface objects should be understood as manned or unmanned sea and riverine single and group objects capable of moving on the water surface. Currently, similar space systems are already used by the EU, the USA, as well as other maritime states. The abovementioned systems enable the performance of the tasks of covering the water surface environment at significant distances from the coastline under any weather conditions and at different times of the day. At the same time, there are no risks for personnel and technical means of surveillance. The article contains a description of the specified space systems, as well as an overview of the spacecraft used to relay on-board navigational information.
It should be noted that at the current stage, similar space systems are also used to detect, identify and track air and ground moving objects.
Keywords: water surface environment; exclusive (maritime) economic zone; space system; radio line; navigation information; AIS; LRIT; COSPAS-SARSAT; SSAS; VMS.

Published: February 2023

This article is about Phrasal Verb found in Coldplay’s Song Album A Head Full of Dream and its contribution to vocabulary learning. The researchers utilized a descriptive qualitative method as the data is not numerical but instead taken from the lyrics of the songs in the form of words and phrases. The object of the research is phrasal verbs in Coldplay’s Song Album A Head Full of Dream. There are eleven songs on the album: A Head Full of Dreams, Birds, Hymn of the Weekend, Everglow, Adventure of a lifetime, Fun, The Scientist, Army of One, Amazing Day, Yellow, and Up & Up. There are fifty-six phrasal verbs found in the album that are divided into three types; transitive separable, transitive inseparable, and intransitive inseparable. It is possible that Coldplay’s album A Head Full of Dreams is a useful material to improve vocabulary building on phrasal verb since there are numerous phrasal verbs. This can provide students with much-needed exposure to challenging aspects of the English language, such as phrasal verbs. This is especially true in the English as a Foreign Language context, where the majority of learners' exposure is limited to the teaching. The use of songs from Coldplay's album is also emerging as an innovative method of teaching phrasal verbs. It is also a significant development in terms of how to teach phrasal verbs

Introduction: Scarring happens after trauma, injury or surgery to any tissue or organ in the body. Disturbing perceptions like pain, itchiness or tenderness from one perspective, and functional limitations in the form of contractures on the other, are ramification of problematic scars. In addition, scar esthetics can also have a negative influence on psychosocial factors. Various treatment options described in the literature include chemical, physical, and surgical methods. The purpose of physical scar treatment is primarily focused on preventing inappropriate healing of the skin
Estudo da reutilização do catalisador NbOPO4,nH2O na conversão do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar em furfural
Authors:   , Esposito Alexandra Jaques
Published: February 2023

O estudo do reuso do catalisador fosfato de nióbio (NbOPO 4 .nH 2 O, abreviado como NbP) na produção de furfural a partir do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar (BCA) em meio aquoso é o objetivo deste trabalho. O catalisador heterogêneo NbP foi explorado para hidrolisar a hemicelulose do BCA e desidratar seu principal carboidrato liberado, i.e., a xilose, em furfural. A relação biomassa / catalisador e o tempo de reação foram fixadas em 1/1 e 5 h. Duas temperaturas foram estudadas, i.e., 110 e 150 o C. Os compostos foram separados e quantificados por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (HPLC). Ao final de cada reação o catalisador foi separado da BCA por peneiração e tratado com (A) água, (B) 5 mL de acetona ou (C) calcinado a 500 ºC por 5h. Após o tratamento o catalisador foi reutilizado por mais um ciclo. Os licores do primeiro e segundo ciclos foram analisados usando o HPLC. O tratamento (A) foi escolhido pois apresentou rendimentos de furfural de 76 g kg -1 e recuperação de catalisador igual a 92 % em reações a 150 ºC. A fim de analisar a atividade do catalisador durante 4 ciclos de reuso e o impacto no rendimento de furfural, reações foram conduzidas em um reator de alta pressão a 150 ºC e 700 RPM. As massas de BCA e o volume de água foram ajustados a cada ciclo, com um rendimento de furfural igual a 73,63 g kg -1 para o último ciclo. Estes valores de rendimento foram consistes durante todos os ciclos de reuso. Em um último estudo, a reposição de catalisador foi realizada a cada ciclo mantendo a proporção de massa de NbP inicial constante nos ciclos, sem que fosse necessário um ajuste de BCA e o volume de água. Este estudo ldvou a rendimentos de furfural similares aos anteriores, 74,56 g kg -1 para o último ciclo, porém com melhore recuperação. A reposição do catalisador apresentou uma economia de 64,9% de NbP durante a execução das reações. Por fim, uma titulação potenciométrica com n-butilamina foi executada para determinar o potencial de NbP. Os resultados obtidos para o catalisador i) com o catalisador integro, ii) após reuso e iii) após reuso e com reposição foram respectivamente 406,0; 341,0 e 355,8 mV, indicando que não há diferença significativa de potencial e que o catalisador mantém suas propriedades ácidas mesmos após consecutivas reações de reuso.

Identificação de novas moléculas orgânicas pelo uso combinado de experimentos de RMN e cálculos computacionais de DFT
Authors:   , Pinto Bryan Nickson Santana
Published: February 2023

A elucidação da estrutura de um produto natural inédito é o primeiro passo para compreendermos as suas propriedades físico-químicas e suas aplicações, seja enquanto agroquímico ou fármaco. Esse processo, muitas vezes, é moroso, sobretudo em moléculas com alta complexidade e, geralmente, requer o uso combinado de várias técnicas. A espectroscopia de RMN é a principal técnica utilizada na elucidação estrutural de produtos naturais, devido à sua viabilidade e à qualidade dos dados obtidos, porém, é comum encontrarmos situações de moléculas complexas, nas quais a interpretação dos espectros de RMN é árdua. Nos últimos 15 anos, os cálculos computacionais de DFT se tornaram uma ferramenta popular, em conjunto com os dados experimentais de RMN, para auxiliar a elucidação estrutural de novas moléculas orgânicas. Métodos estatísticos – como o MAE, CMAE e, sobretudo, o DP4 – são utilizados para avaliar a qualidade do ajuste entre os dados experimentais e calculados, a fim de confirmar se a metodologia foi realizada de forma correta. Esse trabalho descreve detalhadamente a elucidação estrutural de quatro moléculas utilizando dados experimentais de espectros de RMN ( 1 H, 13 C, COSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC) e outras técnicas (massas, IV, VCD), aliados a cálculos computacionais de DFT. Uma das moléculas estudadas tem origem sintética da reação de Diels-Alder, enquanto as demais são produtos naturais extraídos das plantas Crotalaria retusa L. e Conchocarpus mastigophorus (Rutaceae). As moléculas elucidadas nesse trabalho foram: (rac-(3aR,4S,4aS,5R,8S,8aR,9R,9aS)-3a,9a-dicloro-3a,4,4a,5,8,8a,9,9a-octaidro- 4,9:5,8-dimetanonafto[2,3-c]furan-1(3H)-ona); (3S * ,4R * ,5S * ,8a 1 R * ,13aR * )-3-hidroxi-3,4,5- trimetil-4,5,8,8a 1 ,10,12,13,13a-octahidro-2H-[1,6]dioxacicloundecino[2,3,4-gh]pirrolizina- 2,6(3H)-diona; 3S-(-)-hidroxi-1-metilpiperidin-2-ona; 1,3,6-triidroxi-2,4,5-trimetoxi-10- metilacridin-9(10H)-ona. A qualidade do ajuste foi verificada pela análise estatística DP4, bem como outras análises mais simples, como o MAE e CMAE. Palavras-chave: Crotalina. DFT. Diels-Alder. Identificação estrutural.

Changes in White Blood Cells in Solid Cancers Before First Cycle and After the Third Cycle of Chemotherapy
Authors: Alkahiry Waiel Mohmed , Bakhubaira Sawson Mohamed , Anam Mariam Thabit Ali
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Chemotherapy is a nonspecific drug that kills or damages fast growing cells; cancer cells and noncancerous body cells including white blood cells (WBCs). Changes to the WBCs can begin as early as few days to a week after starting chemotherapy treatment. This study was conducted to assess the effect of three cycles of chemotherapy on white blood cells compared to that at diagnosis of solid cancers.
Methods: This is a prospective study included 100 patients diagnosed with solid cancers and subjected to chemotherapy in the National Cancer Centers in Aden and Taiz governorates, during 2020. Complete blood count was done for all patients prior to the first cycle and after the third cycle of chemotherapy.
Results: The mean total WBCs count, absolute neutrophil count (ANC), absolute eosinophile count (AEC) and absolute monocyte count (AMC) were statistically significantly lower after third cycle when compared to that before first cycle. Meanwhile, the mean Absolute Lymphocyte count (ALC) and absolute basophile count (ABC) did not show any significant difference. Only 9.0% of solid cancer patients had leucocytosis at diagnosis. The percentage of patients with low WBCs count significantly increased after the third cycle, while the percentage of patients with normal WBCs count significantly decreased after the third cycle. The ANC showed a significant statistical difference between the counts prior to the first cycle of chemotherapy and after the third cycle of chemotherapy. Normal ANC was observed among 74.0% of patients before the first cycle of chemotherapy and it decreased to 53.0% after the third cycle. Neutropenia with all grades of severity was statistically significantly higher after the third cycle. The mean total WBCs count decreased after the third cycle in all types of cancers, and this decrease was statistically significant in patients with breast cancers and lymphomas, while other cancers did not show such significance
Conclusion: This study concluded that in patients with solid cancer, WBCs and mainly the ANC significantly decreased after the third cycle of chemotherapy to a level that may be severe to affect patients’ overall health.

Authors: Saeed Adel A. , Sheikh Galal K.
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Hijamah as one famous therapeutic method used in traditional and new medicine can be done by special cups for sucking blood in wet and dry cupping therapy. The excessive use of minerals in various fields of life has become a threat to human health as they can accumulate in the body and lead to several chronic diseases.
Objective: This study was done to know the ability of wet hijamah on ridding the body of trace minerals and comparing the concentration of investigated elements with that found in venous blood samples.
Methods: The blood samples were collected from 18 volunteers. The samples were digested at ~65 ⁰C using a mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide in a ratio of (2:1), and then an inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used to determine the concentration of trace elements iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb). Relationships between the studied blood samples were examined using SPSS statistical software.
Results: It was noted that some trace elements in hijamah and venous had statistically significant differences were Fe, Ni, Cd, Zn, Al, Cu, and Pb, where the values of p (< 0.0001, 0.046, 0.024, 0.005, 0.009, 0.024, and 0.012 respectively). While the other elements did not show statistically significant differences, namely, Cr and Co, at p 0.263, and 0.416, respectively.
Conclusion: The study showed that wet hijamah can be safely applied to reduce the levels of trace elements in the blood. It may be useful for people who work in jobs where the accumulation of toxic elements in their bodies is possible.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: The process of giving breast milk for infant during the first six months without adding other fluids or solid food with the exception of medicines; called Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF). It is an important strategy for maintaining and improving child health. The overall aim of the study was to investigate the level of knowledge and practices regrading EBF and the factors associated with them among mothers in Al Mukalla, Yemen.
Methods: A community-based cross- sectional study was conducted in the urban and rural area localities in Al-Mukalla. Five hundred eighty-one mothers were selected randomly for those having a child aged <5 years. Data were collected using a pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the association between the variables.
Results: Urban mothers had good knowledge about EBF, while it was widely practiced among rural mothers. Eighty-two percent of urban mothers knew about EBF, and the main source for them was visits to Maternal and Child Health centers. Certain factors like age among rural mothers, education and work of mothers in both areas were significantly associated with EBF knowledge and practice of mothers.
Conclusion: Fair knowledge was common among urban mothers while their EBF practice was comparatively lower than mothers living in rural area. There is a need for efforts and adequate support at all levels to increase the knowledge and translates it into practice.
Investigating the Use of Recycled Concrete as Aggregates in the Construction of Structural Beams
Authors: Ellis Leighton A. , Leon Lee P. , Charran Amy V.
Published: February 2023

The World Bank in a decade ago reported a global collective of 1.3 billion tons of solid waste every year with building material accounting for half of this volume annually worldwide. Recycled materials from demolition sites have increased over the years to curtail the demand for natural aggregates (NA). This study investigates the use of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) produced from high strength concrete and its effects on the mechanical properties of concrete and structural members. Further comparison was made to concrete with steel fibers. The results showed that the compressive strength of RCA concrete was 5% greater than NA concrete. The influence of the properties of durability and crushing resistance of the RCA, which exceeded that of NA, contributed to the higher concrete strengths when compared to NA concrete. Additionally, concrete with RCA and steel fibers had an increase of compressive strength by 16% to concrete without steel fibers. However, no significant increase in the deflection and strain of the beams under third point loading suggest that given the right conditions RCA can be used in place of NA Keywords: Construction waste; engineering sustainability; recycled concrete aggregate; structural members; steel fiber; waste management.

Authors: Sawant Priyanka , Joshi Sagarkumar , Thumar Jignasha
Published: February 2023

Products of biological origin are highly demanded in the industrial sector and because of the substantial financial gains made in the enzyme industry; more and more of these businesses are springing up. This study presents the results of processing samples collected in areas with less human interference, such as Jhow Island and the Borivali Monari Creeks. The samples were collected under the supervision of a forest officer after receiving permission from the Mangrove Cell in Maharashtra. Isolate morphology was investigated in this study. Forty-two isolates from the Borivali site shared the following characteristics: circular shape, entire margins, convex, small size colonies, smooth textures, cream pigments, opaqueness, gram positivity, and a major organism group belonging to Coccus. Twenty isolates were collected from Jhow Island, and their predominant features were as follows: circular shape, entire margins, flat elevation, punctiform colonies, smooth textures, tan pigments, opaqueness, Gram positivity, and the organism's major group belonging to Coccus. Protease, amylase, and cellulase were screened for first because of their vital role in industry. Protease producers were chosen for further testing, and using the inverted pyramid technique, the highest protease-producing isolate, Bor S17B13, was chosen for enzymatic activity. 16S rRNA sequencing was used to determine the identity of isolate Bor S17B13, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed to show that Bor S17B13 is a member of the Priestia aryabhattai strain. The gene sequence for Priestia megaterium strain B21 can be found in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database under the accession number OM743775. Protease enzymes can be used for anything from bio-industry to environmental cleanup (bio-remediation). New possibilities for scaling up enzyme production will become available as more research is done.

Authors: Tolossa Dawit , Pandya Hemal
Published: February 2023

'Standard' has become a commonly used word across all business sectors. The need for the highest quality of goods and services is steadily growing. Ethiopia can produce much fresh fruit and export it. However, trade standards are spreading around the world. It is become harder for developing countries to export goods to markets in developed nations. Fresh fruit export is a crucial industry with great potential for economic growth in the country. This study's primary goal is to assess the required fruit standards in the case of Ethiopia by looking at the country's fresh fruit exports. The information was collected from Ethiopian fresh fruit growers using a purposive sampling technique and a standardized questionnaire. Additionally, descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation were used to evaluate the data in SPSS. The study in Ethiopia's findings demonstrated that the quality requirements that producers adhere to and the quality standards that customers seek are not mutually exclusive. Producers believe they are maintaining the quality of fresh fruits by routine monitoring, using appropriate inputs, using best agricultural practices, and planting new fruit trees. The table indicates that fresh fruit growers have attempted to use the necessary inputs.

Limba păsărilor în basmul fantastic românesc
Authors:   Academia Română, Muzeul de Artă Veche Apuseană, Cioancă Costel
Published: February 2023

The idea of a primordial language, spoken / understood by both man and animals, a secret language to be given by consecration / initiation only to the chosen one and which offers the initiate a higher type of knowledge, fascinated. Present in the myths, stories and literature of the world, such a language would represent „the key to access to the ancient memory of a culture and a civilization still largely unknown” (Ph. Walter). When approaching this subject, the specialists speak, without a doubt, of a prehistoric language, born and used long before the Indo‑European`s historical language: a language with a common heritage of archaic beliefs and conceptions, lost and later translated into cultural products such as this motif of the language of birds / animals, reminiscent of a magical thinking that fell into the (almost) fixed structures of the imagination. We have many cases in classical mythology in which this primordial language re‑com‑ poses the concrete, ideational universe of an original period, in which the fusion of meaning and significance is restored (Eve‑serpent dialogue mentioned by the Old Testament, Tiresias, Melampus for ancient Greece, Finn – Ireland, Taliesin – Wales etc.). The quorum of myths in the examples mentioned in this study is still amazing, rich, complex. The clairvoyance, the access of the pauper hero to a higher level of knowledge thanks to this initiation, the essence of the myth relocated in the fairy tale, are all these a simple literary decal, inspired by an anonymous fairy tale creator in the fantastic epic for a greedy imaginary audience? Certainly, not. • The construction of the myth at the level of the fairy tale, often very close to the classical myths; • Investing in this imaginative episode with symbolizing intent; last but not least, • The ubiquity of a specific interdiction, I believe I take this motive literally out of the realm of traditional narrative arbitrariness, integrating it into that of the intentionality of (symbolic) consciousness.

Maramureş is a unique destination, located in the heart of Europe, which has carefully preserved the culture, traditions and lifestyle of the peasant from the past. The region is the place of a testament to the traditional, romantic era of simplicity and moral values that we read or hear from our grandparents today. Few habits have changed over the centuries that have passed. Families remain in the same village as their ancestors. The handicrafts and traditions are passed on from generation to generation. Hand‑woven clothing is still worn with pride. The church is still the soul of the village. Neighbors know each other and help each other. Maramureş is considered by many the soul of the typical Romanian village. In this context one can notice how the woman had to have a special education to be able to raise her family in the eyes of fellow villagers. With its picturesque settlements, Maramures concentrates everything that life means in the country. Traditional culture was formed through the experiences of countless generations and conveys deathless values. Visitors to these lands have the unique opportunity to come back in time, to be witnesses of times and a simpler life. The sources of information used are to a great degree part of the local oral history. Villagers found a purpose through order, they obtained the motivation needed for life. Their minds were opened to see the deeper meaning of things.

Pământul face parte din sistemului solar, precum și din univers. Aceștia influențează Pământul. Corpul ceresc cel mai apropiat e Luna, care are o forță perturbatoare majoră asupra Pământului. Corpul central din Sistemul nostru solar este steaua Soarele, conținând 99% din întreaga masă a sistemului solar. Soarele are cel mai mare efect asupra Pământului. Fără Soare nu am avea viață, iar fără Lună nu ar fi evoluat treptat viața pe Pământ în forma actuală. Soarele și Luna au cea mai mare influență asupra Pământului, astfel și asupra vieții pe Pământ. Contribuind la dezvoltarea și susținerea vieții pământești, strămoșii noștrii din neolitic venerau Soarele și Luna. Mai mult, societățile neolitice au dezvoltat calendare solare și lunare pentru a prezice și reglementa ciclurile economice și rituale. Controlul predictiv al schimbărilor sezoniere permite o predicție mai precisă a momentelor critice ale perioadelor ciclice și fazelor de vegetație ale plan‑ telor, inclusiv momentele adecvate pentru plantare și recoltare. Această lucrare prezintă influența Soarelui și a Lunii asupra vieții unor comunități neolitice de pe teritoriul României.
Lichidul sacru – apa vie

Water is the origin of life, a means of purification and the element of regeneration. It is the symbol of fertility, wisdom, divine grace. As the origin and vehicle of any form of life, it represents the vital breath and can become the support of any energy. It can be endowed with antithetical properties, it can be purifying, or poisonous. Water can be structured according to the actions performed on it (prayer, magic formula), or the interference with the surrounding energies (objects, animals, plants). Ritual washings have a special place in all rites of pas‑ sage, or initiation. The water used in these ceremonies is “living water”, endowed with magical powers. Immersion in the ritual water represents a symbolic death and at the same time a return to the beginning, to the origins, a new birth in a cleansed body. Romanian fairy tales and legends remind of various creatures, which bring “living water” to the hero who is in trouble. Also, bathing in living water rejuvenates the elderly and energizes the young.
