INFLUENCE OF MOMENT GRADIENT ON ROTATION CAPACITY OF STEEL FLEXURAL MEMBERS
Authors: Shokouhian Mehdi , Sadeghi Reza , Shi Yongjiu
Published: February 2020

Current seismic design procedures implicitly permit the inelastic structural deformations under strong ground motions for economic reasons. The local ductility is used as a parameter for evaluating the available inelastic performances of structures. Current code provisions take into account the ductility at the level of section, but it is necessary to study member ductility. One of the main factors influencing the value of ductility is moment gradient. This research presents a new method to determine ductility for constant-moment loading of flexural members based on theoretical and numerical studies. A numerical study was carried out on welded I-beams under a monotonic static loading, using nonlinear buckling analysis considering local and overall instabilities. The results illustrate that this new method is more accurate than others, can be used to predict ductility for constant-moment loading, and may be employed for different gradients of moments.
STATE OF THE ART IN REPAIR AND STRENGTHENING METHODS OF DETERIORATED CONCRETE BRIDGE STRUCTURES
Authors: Prasetia Irfan , Torii Kazuyuki
Published: February 2020

This paper summarizes the current development for repairing and strengthening deteriorated concrete bridge structures in Japan, especially those deteriorated due to alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and chloride attack. Generally, surface treatments are applied as the repair method due to ASR and chloride attack. Barrier coating and penetrating sealer are two methods that are actively applied as surface treatments in Japan. An investigation of repaired concrete bridge structures using these methods indicate that acrylic-based surface coatings are the most suitable method for repairing concrete structures, and the silicon-based compounds repair concrete structures with low risk of corrosion. Furthermore, the use of sodium or potassium for silicate-based surface treatments should be avoided, as these solutions may exacerbate ASR. This finding was backed up by an accelerated mortar bar test experiment under a modified ASTM C1260 test method. The results show that large ASR expansion occurred on mortar bars immersed in sodium silicate solution (Na2SiO3). In regards to strengthening, CFRP sheet bonding, concrete jacketing and PC-confined method with prestressing steel wire were applied for concrete bridge structures. Especially for the PC-confined method, this method can be applied not only as an earthquake strengthener but also an ASR expansion controller on deteriorated bridge piers.

Authors: Taniguchi Nozomu , Ohkubo Fujikazu , Satake Shinya , Sugino Yusuke
Published: February 2020

This research offers a new composite-revamping method for railway bridges. It assumes that the composite remodeling process of existing steel bridges has no specific fissure damages or serious corrosion, and effectively makes use of relatively new materials. The effects of noise reduction and improved stiffness were further confirmed through hammer-impact tests (vibration and noise measurement tests) in order to prove the efficacy of the composite remodeling.
INFLUENCE OF FLANGE WIDTH ON THE SHEAR-LAG EFFECT FOR PC SKE BOX-SECTION GIRDER BRIDGES
Authors: Bu Jian-qing , Yang Jin
Published: February 2020

Skewed box-section girder bridges are widely used in the proceeding of the road network construction. Ignoring the shear-lag effect will give rise to the instability and failure of bridges. The single-factor calculation theory of orthogonal box-section girder bridges cannot be applied to the calculation of the shear-lag effect of skewed box-section girder bridges. In this paper, simply-supported skew box-section girder bridge models with different widths of flanges were built by using the finite element software ANSYS. The distribution laws of shear-lag effect in the transverse and vertical of skewed box-section girder bridges were more obvious with an increase in the flange width.
PERCEPTIONS OF THE RETENTION SYSTEM IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Authors: Raina Priyanka , Tookey John
Published: February 2020

The retention system of withholding a portion of payment to contractors and subcontractors is a peculiar feature of the building industry. In the past decade or so there has been much discussion about the practice of retentions in the US and UK construction industries. Anecdotal evidence without concerted research suggests that problems exist within the practice in the New Zealand construction industry, which this study will address. Retention practice affects the whole construction supply chain, but the effect the practice has on each party varies significantly. Thirteen interviews were carried out with experienced construction industry professionals, including clients, contractors, subcontractors and consultants. An analysis of their recorded views and perceptions revealed diverse views. Most agreed that problems with retention are very serious, the worst affected being the subcontractors who do not have much control or say. However, they said, in the absence of any better alternative, the practice is working well in its current form. Further research will work out some alternatives to the traditional retention practice so as to create more balance and fairness for all the parties involved in the supply chain.
EVALUATION FOR RESIDUAL AXIAL FORCE OF CORRODED HIGH TENSILE BOLTS
Authors: Satake Ryoichi , Fujii Katashi , Mori Yumi
Published: February 2020

This paper presents a method for evaluating the residual axial force of corroded high strength bolts in experiments, and analysis measuring the axial force of corroded high strength bolts. In order to reproduce the axial force reduction due to corrosion, the test specimens were made by cutting the bolt head widthwise or the height-wise with an initial axial force. The curve of axial force lowering is prepared with a reduced thickness in height and width of bolts as a parameter. Therefore, the residual axial force can be estimated by the thickness reduction of bolt. Moreover, we measured the residual axle force of real corroded high strength bolts, taken from a bridge removed from service for a long time, and inspected an axis drop curve. In order to classify corrosion shapes, we measured the three-dimensional surface shape of corroded high strength bolts without contact, and considered the relationship between the surface shape of corroded high strength bolts and the axial force reduction.
THE SCIENCE OF COPYEDITING: AN ANALYSIS OF REVISION RATES IN ISEC SUBMISSIONS
Authors: Arudou Debito , Singh Amarjit
Published: February 2020

Copyeditors are under-recognized for their contributions to the publishing world. Through complex editorial processes outlined in this paper, copyeditors quietly shepherd researchers’ work into the academic world by making their research more readable. This paper analyzes ASEA-SEC-2 submission successes and failures, pointing out trends behind acceptances and Requests For Revisions (RFRs) before publication. The findings reveal that the ISEC Copyeditor’s work generally went beyond cosmetic edits: Nearly half of the papers that reached the Copyeditor had to be returned to authors. A significant number of those RFRs were due to general violations of ISEC Guidelines (e.g., excessive page length, illegible illustrations, and lack of citations) that should have been returned to authors before they reached the Copyeditor. If contributors (and ISEC editors) had paid more attention to guidelines, many man-hours of labor would have been saved, and their research disseminated into the scientific community more efficiently and cost-effectively. This paper aims to increase awareness in the enormity of the task behind copyediting for conference articles, in hopes that contributors will cooperate more closely with (and editors more strictly enforce) journal guidelines in future.
ASSESSMENT OF LEED REQUIREMENTS FOR ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE FOR DEVELOPING A LOCAL CERTIFICATION SYSTEM
Authors: Komurlu Ruveyda , Gurgun Asli Pelin , Arditi David
Published: February 2020

Building construction is a major industry that uses a considerable amount of energy and causes extensive atmospheric pollution. Around 30-40% of energy consumption as well as 15% of greenhouse gas emissions originate from construction activities. As a result, sustainability is of special importance, from the extraction of construction materials to building operation and maintenance. Given the increasing demand for energy worldwide, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources have special importance for a sustainable future. Green building certification systems, with their increasing importance and popularity in developing and developed countries, pursue higher goals for energy efficiency and pollution prevention. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the preferred rating system in the world. LEED assigns 32% of the available rating points to the energy and atmosphere category. The subject country of this study, Turkey, is developing local certification systems based on the characteristics of the Turkish construction industry. The leading study, Turkish National Green Building Certification-Homes (TNGBC-H), has not been introduced yet as it is still being developed. This study focuses on the codes and standards that will possibly be used in these certification systems, such as the Code for Building Energy Performance prepared by the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, and the Turkish standards related to energy and atmosphere. This paper compares the standards and regulations referred to by LEED and TNGBC-H and makes suggestions for a coherent and efficient future certification system in Turkey.

Authors: Qudah Abdalla , Haddad Rami , Al-Dauod Nisreen
Published: February 2020

Safety measures in stone quarries are investigated through a questionnaire for safety requirements and the degree of compliance distributed to managers and workers of selected quarries in northern Jordan. Responses showed that while health and technical safety measures are applied in most quarries, safety awareness measures are unimplemented in all surveyed quarries despite the claim by quarry managers and workers that awareness programs do exist. Preliminary results indicate a correlation between the level of education and experience of both quarries managers and workers and the frequency and severity of work accidents.
INNOVATION DRIVERS IN CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Cheung S.O. , Chan K.Y. , Chow P.T.
Published: February 2020

The construction industry is labeled as an industry that highly sticks to established practice without sufficient innovation. Nowadays, construction organizations strive for survival by adopting cutthroat pricing to the detriment of product quality. This approach stifles long-term competitiveness. Innovation can be defined as “successful exploitation of new ideas, where the ideas are new to unit of adoption”. Providing an accurate definition is considered to be one of the most crucial means to enhance competitiveness. In spite of enormous literature on the definitions of innovation, there are limited studies exploring barriers and drivers of innovation in the Hong Kong construction industry. This study aims to fill those research gaps. Barriers to developing innovations have been identified, as well as the nature of the construction industry, conventional methods of procuring projects, and risks and cost of innovations. Discovering ways to identify opportunities and drivers of innovations have been explored through a case study. It is found that an innovative procurement system, sufficient information exchange, and a progressive employer drive innovations.
WORK-RELATED STRESS, RESTORATION AND PURSUIT OF SUSTAINABLE MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS IN CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Obiozo Rita , Smallwood John
Published: February 2020

Work-related stress and consequent poor performance of workers require diligent application of innovative strategies on construction sites to achieve a viable labor resource. Humankind’s desire for contact with nature serves an important adaptive function, in the form of psychological restoration that heals mental fatigue and the lack of motivation in the construction workforce. An underlying practical challenge is hereby offered in the “greening of the construction site”, or the biophilic design concept, as a relevant aspect of construction management and planning. The question explored includes the nature of the biophilic construction site model (BCSM), and the specific design of workplaces to include “dynamic healing gardens” tailored to the project, environment, and construction processes. The methodology surveys, compares, and analyzes construction sites in South Africa with or without the BCSM. Findings indicate that workers actually achieve restoration and rejuvenation in a natural environment in harmony with the promotion of health and safety, ergonomic strategies in construction, and attention-restorative therapy. We recommend that “informal dynamic therapeutic gardens” be included within the construction planning of worksites, the interior of site offices and welfare facilities to enhance productivity and quality in construction.
El tránsito de Venus hacia el final del siglo XIX y el surgimiento del séptimo arte
Authors: Da Silva Maria Romênia , Camino Néstor
Published: February 2020

El artículo aborda un episodio histórico ocurrido hacia fines del siglo XIX, que marcó un fuerte vínculo entre algunos estudios astronómicos y los inicios de lo que se llamaría el “séptimo arte”. Presentamos un recorrido por la historia de la astronomía y del cine, revelando detalles que demuestran los lazos entre estas dos disciplinas, a través de un proceso de varias décadas que se inicia con los primeros estudios sobre el tránsito solar de Venus, hasta la consolidación de la cinematografía como disciplina moderna, en un periodo que va desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta principios del XX. A esta relación han contribuido muchos científicos, investigadores, inventores, artistas, con distintas especialidades y modalidades, en gran parte del mundo, durante varias décadas, en especial Janssen, Mèlies, los hermanos Lumière y tantos otros. Esta es una reflexión documentada, basada en el estudio de libros, artículos, bancos de imágenes y datos históricos, fuentes en la Web, de áreas como astronomía, historia del arte, psicología, historia de la tecnología, enseñanza de las ciencias, entre otras. Buscamos documentar de forma rigurosa y extensa la idea que nos propusimos desarrollar: mostrar que dos disciplinas, de alguna manera tan distintas, como la astronomía y el cine, comparten su historia, y no se tiene suficiente conciencia de este hecho en los campos disciplinares de la actualidad. Además, mostramos la importancia que tiene para la Enseñanza de la Astronomía el tomar en cuenta los desarrollos históricos, los problemas surgidos en cada época, la creatividad y los esfuerzos teóricos y tecnológicos por dar respuesta a estos. Así mismo, la manera como los desarrollos en un área de la cultura (la astronomía) impactan sobre otras áreas (el cine), y viceversa. Los resultados demuestran la relevancia del tema escogido, así como su pertinencia dentro del ámbito científico y educativo.
Abordagem ciência-tecnologia-sociedade (CTS) no ensino de ciências: de qual tecnologia estamos falando desde esta perspectiva em nossa prática docente?
Authors: Firme Ruth do Nascimento
Published: February 2020

Neste artigo, analisamos uma proposta de organização de conteúdos para a abordagem Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade (CTS) no ensino de Química. O nosso objetivo foi o de caracterizar, do ponto de vista filosófico, a tecnologia na abordagem Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade no ensino de ciências. Visamos contribuir tanto com discussões sobre a natureza da tecnologia, quanto com aquelas que direcionam uma prática docente coerente com esta abordagem. A proposta de organização de conteúdos para a abordagem CTS foi elaborada por um grupo de professores de ciências quando cursavam a disciplina optativa “A perspectiva CTS e o ensino de ciências” em um programa de pós-graduação de uma instituição pública de ensino superior brasileiro. Nesta direção, adotamos a pesquisa qualitativa descritiva. Para organização dos resultados, descrevemos a organização de conteúdos a partir das dimensões Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade e, em seguida, analisamos a proposta considerando como categorias analíticas: artefato/produto, modo de conhecimento, tipo de atividade humana, e volição. As análises contribuíram para caracterizar a tecnologia na abordagem CTS nestas categorias. Portanto, ao adotar esta perspectiva, é desejável que o professor de ciências considere tais dimensões em sua prática docente, com vistas a contribuir, por exemplo, para desmistificar algumas concepções equivocadas sobre a tecnologia, dentre outras, a ideia de tecnologia como ciência aplicada, e promover a compreensão da natureza da tecnologia. Contudo, para o professor de ciências adotar a abordagem CTS em sua prática docente deve atender aos aspectos relativos às diferentes dimensões da tecnologia, discussões. Assim as reflexões sobre seu paradigma de tecnologia se constituem em uma das demandas da formação de professores de ciências.

“A History of Polish Art” by Michał Walicki and Juliusz Starzyński in Poland between the World Wars. The West, Poland, the East
Authors: Labuda Adam S.
Published: February 2020

Writing an academic history of Polish art was an urgent task of art historians after World War I, when the country regained its political independence. An important and creditable achievement in that respect was a study by Michał Walicki and Juliusz Starzyński, published in 1934 as a kind of supplement to the monumental Geschichte der Kunst von der altchristlichen Zeit bis zur Gegenwart by the Marburg historian Richard Hamann, translated at that time into Polish. In 1936, the work of the Polish scholars was published again in the form of a separate book. The paper focuses on three problems that were addressed in it: the cultural and artistic ties of Poland to the West, the vernacular features of Polish art, and the presence of the “Eastern art” in Polish artistic heritage. The author examines also the question whether those issues were related to the political, social, and cultural reality of the Second Polish Republic.
Polarization-encrypted high-resolution full-color images exploiting hydrogenated amorphous silicon nanogratings
Authors: Yue Wenjing , Gao Song , Li Yang , Zhang Chunwei , Fu Xiaoqian , Choi Duk-Yong
Published: February 2020

As a prominent alternative to toxic dyes/pigments, nanostructural color pixels have garnered tremendous attention in applications related to display/imaging devices and color printings. However, current color pixels mostly offer static color responses. In relation to this, dynamic color tuning properties must be investigated in order to expand their functionalities and promote their use in the fields of encryption and anti-counterfeiting. In this study, a simple array of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nanogratings is proposed to realize polarization-encrypted full-color images via the coupling of incident light into different leaky mode resonances within the nanogratings. The proposed pixels can readily switch from vivid full colors to indistinguishable orange color by altering the incident polarization state. Hence, unlike the reported polarization-tuned color generation schemes that merely allow for the color variation of the image or require complicated designs to hide the color information, the proposed approach can encrypt arbitrary full-color images via a simple tuning of the incident polarization state. Owing to the localized leaky mode resonances supported by the nanogratings, the pixel can still implement the polarization-encrypted functionality even when it contains only four gratings, thus enabling a remarkably high resolution. The proposed simple scheme may provide a credible new pathway for accelerating the practical applications of high-resolution encryption and anti-counterfeiting.
Fair estimation of capital risk allocation
Authors: Bielecki Tomasz R. , Cialenco Igor , Pitera Marcin , Schmidt Thorsten
Published: February 2020

In this paper, we develop a novel methodology for estimation of risk capital allocation.
The methodology is rooted in the theory of risk measures.
We work within a general, but tractable class of law-invariant coherent risk measures, with a particular focus on expected shortfall.
We introduce the concept of fair capital allocations and provide explicit formulae for fair capital allocations in case when the constituents of the risky portfolio are jointly normally distributed.
The main focus of the paper is on the problem of approximating fair portfolio allocations in the case of not fully known law of the portfolio constituents.
We define and study the concepts of fair allocation estimators and asymptotically fair allocation estimators.
A substantial part of our study is devoted to the problem of estimating fair risk allocations for expected shortfall.
We study this problem under normality as well as in a nonparametric setup.
We derive several estimators, and prove their fairness and/or asymptotic fairness.
Last, but not least, we propose two backtesting methodologies that are oriented at assessing the performance of the allocation estimation procedure.
The paper closes with a substantial numerical study of the subject and an application to market data.

Published: February 2020

Pryor, JL, Burbulys, ER, Root, HJ, and Pryor, RR. Movement technique during jump-landing differs between sex among athletic playing surfaces. J Strength Cond Res 36(3): 661–666, 2022—Whether athletic surface type affects movement technique, a causal factor for lower extremity injury, is unclear. This study evaluated the influence of 4 common athletic surfaces on movement technique using the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS). Secondarily, we aimed to evaluate differences in movement technique between men and women among surfaces. Recreationally active men and women (n = 38) completed jump-landing tests on 4 common athletic surfaces in a quasi-randomized crossover fashion. Vertical jump height, perceptual fatigue, and muscle soreness were evaluated before jump-landing movement analyses and were similar across testing sessions (p > 0.05). Men achieved higher LESS scores on hardwood and artificial pellet turf compared with women (p ≤ 0.037). Women exhibited lower LESS scores on grass and artificial turf vs. concrete (p ≤ 0.048). Data indicate differential lower extremity movement technique and therefore injury risk across athletic surface types and sex, challenging the generalizability of the LESS construct. Athletic playing surface should be considered during movement technique assessment and implementation of injury prevention programs.

Bishop, C, Read, P, Bromley, T, Brazier, J, Jarvis, P, Chavda, S, and Turner, A. The association between interlimb asymmetry and athletic performance tasks: A season-long study in elite academy soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 36(3): 787–795, 2022—The aims of this study were to determine the association between asymmetry and measures of speed and change of direction speed (CODS) performance throughout a competitive soccer season and, determine whether any observed changes in asymmetry were associated with changes in speed and CODS performance. Eighteen elite male under-23 academy soccer players performed unilateral countermovement jumps, unilateral drop jumps (DJ), 10- and 30-m sprints, and 505 CODS tests at pre, mid, and end of season. No significant relationships were evident during preseason or midseason between asymmetry and speed or CODS performance. Significant correlations were shown at the end of season between DJ height asymmetry and 10-m sprint time (ρ = 0.62; p = 0.006) and 505 time on the right limb (ρ = 0.65; p = 0.003). No significant correlations between changes in asymmetry and changes in speed or CODS were evident at any time point. Although numerous studies have reported associations between asymmetry and reduced athletic performance, it seems that these associations with speed and CODS do not track consistently over time. Thus, suggestions for the reduction of asymmetry that may indirectly enhance athletic performance cannot be made.
The 1-Bit Instrument
Authors: Troise Blake
Published: February 2020

The 1-bit sonic environment (perhaps most famously musically employed on the ZX Spectrum) is defined by extreme limitation. Yet, belying these restrictions, there is a surprisingly expressive instrumental versatility. This article explores the theory behind the primary, idiosyncratically 1-bit techniques available to the composer-programmer, those that are essential when designing “instruments” in 1-bit environments. These techniques include pulse width modulation for timbral manipulation and means of generating virtual polyphony in software, such as the pin pulse and pulse interleaving techniques. These methodologies are considered in respect to their compositional implications and instrumental applications.
“You Have Living Legends among You”
Authors: Awartani Sara
Published: February 2020

In late September 2018, multiple generations of Chicago’s storied social movements marched through Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood as part of the sold-out, three-day Young Lords Fiftieth Anniversary Symposium hosted by DePaul University—an institution that, alongside Mayor Richard J. Daley’s administration, had played a sizeable role in transforming Lincoln Park into a neighborhood “primed for development.” Students, activists, and community members—from throughout Chicago, the Midwest, the East Coast, and even as far as Texas—converged to celebrate the history of Puerto Ricans in Chicago, the legacies of the Young Lords, and the promises and possibilities of resistance. As Elaine Brown, former chairwoman and minister of information for the Black Panther Party, told participants in the second day’s opening plenary, the struggle against racism, poverty, and gentrification and for self-determination and the general empowerment of marginalized people is a protracted one. “You have living legends among you,” Brown insisted, inviting us to associate as equals with the Young Lords members in our midst. Her plea encapsulated the ethos of that weekend’s celebrations: “If we want to be free, let us live the light of the Lords.”

Leah Lange Chase, executive chef and co-owner of the venerable New Orleans restaurant Dooky Chase’s, died June 1, 2019. She was ninety-six and still, almost to the very end, a regular fixture in that bustling kitchen, guiding her brigade; chopping the trinity of onion, celery, and bell pepper; and salting her cooking advice with history and homilies. She was an artist, in that her process of creating and serving signature meals activated something inside us, her patrons—an experience turned ritual that marked and shaped us. She made us all think and see in new ways.

Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Coronary Artery Disease: Comparison Between ACC/AHA 2016 and ESC 2017 Guidelines
Authors: Floyd Christopher N
Published: February 2020

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is integral to the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) but there remains uncertainty as to the optimal approach for balancing an individual’s risk of atherothrombotic events versus their risk of bleeding complications. A myriad of clinical trials have investigated how factors such as antiplatelet selection or duration of treatment can affect outcomes in both stable CAD and acute coronary syndromes. To aid clinicians in the challenge of applying trial findings to the circumstances of individual patients, the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology have released focused updates on prescribing DAPT in CAD. While the two guidelines agree on many issues, there are some differences in the recommendations. This article highlights those differences and provides comment on their aetiology.

Authors: García Camarero Tamara , de la Torre Hernández José M
Published: February 2020

Percutaneous revascularisation has evolved dramatically in the past few decades. The approach to the management of ischaemic heart disease has changed due to the development of new devices and techniques as well as the availability of new drugs and treatment strategies. Its use in combination with antiplatelet therapies has been essential to protect against stent thrombosis. The length of time this combination therapy is used has been modified in recent years and has been the subject of extensive research. The effect of prolonging the time it is taken or shortening it has been evaluated in different clinical conditions. In practice, the decisions regarding antithrombotic therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention are informed by the patient’s profile and the characteristics of the procedures performed. In this article, we review the use of antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention focusing on trials and guidelines addressing variable durations for combination regimens and the alternatives.

The progress of a nation can be achieved through translation activities. The rapid development of science began with the implementation of translation institutions which later became educational institutions. In Indonesia, translation activities from Arabic to Indonesian are focused on religious texts, ranging from the Holy Qur'an, Hadith, and Interpretation to books on da'wah, morals, and Islamic thought books. There are several problems that are often faced by Indonesian translators, including regarding difficult translation activities, substantial differences between Arabic and Indonesian, the lack of mastery of the translator towards the recipient's language, resulting in symptoms of interference, and lack of mastery of the translator's theory of translation. For this reason, translating courses need to be taught at Islamic universities in Indonesia. Learning to translate in Indonesia aims to equip students with knowledge about the theory of translation and to provide students with experience in translating various types of texts, such as religious, scientific, literary, economic, and cultural texts with various levels of difficulty. To be able to achieve this goal, the translator lecturer must have theoretical qualifications, experience, and master the source language and language of the recipient as well as well as master the culture of both languages ​​namely Arabic-Indonesian

On the Issue of the Baptism of Princess Olga
Authors: Petrov Alexey
Published: February 2020

Introduction. More than once researchers will address this issue and related subjects. Where, how and why did Princess Olga receive holy baptism? When and in what capacity did she travel to Constantinople? What was the meaning of Olga’s baptism for Rus? Was the blessed princess the ruler of a pagan state? The author proposes to share his thoughts on this subject in this article. Methods. The method of considering this issue ultimately comes down to finding the best option for reconciling conflicting testimony of sources, taking into account extensive historiography, but also in the context of a particular historiographic and theoretical paradigm. Analysis. The opinion about the official nature of Olga’s trip to Constantinople as the full-fledged ruler of the Russian land can be successfully opposed by the opinion that the visit of the princess to the capital of the empire is a private event in the life of the widow of the Russian prince. Doubts were justified that she could be equal in status to her late husband and fully take control of his princely duties and government powers. Most likely, her political position was ambivalent. It is difficult to deny the baptism of Igor’s widow in Constantinople, because all the sources talking about him, not coinciding in the dating of this event, nevertheless, unanimously localize him there. Results. Christianity, adopted by Princess Olga in 957 in Constantinople during an unofficial trip there as part of a trade caravan, from the very act of baptism to the end of the princess’s life, remained only her personal affair. After baptism, Olga completely refused to participate in government activities. The latter circumstance allows emphasizing that aspect of her Christian feat that researchers did not pay attention to: conscious self-removal from power (even symbolic) in pagan society in order to follow Christian commandments and adhere to Christian values.
Evacuation of the German Population from Transnistria in March–July 1944
Authors: Martynenko Vladimir
Published: February 2020

Introduction. During autumn 1943 – spring 1944 the systematic phased evacuation of the German population was carried out from the occupied Soviet regions. Its final phase was the operation of relocating more than 130 000 ethnic Germans from the Transnistria Governorate controlled by Romanian authorities to the territory of Warthegau.

Materials and methods. The presented research is based on the historicism and objectivity principles. In the course of the work, the author uses special methods such as historical-systematic, chronological, historicaldescriptive, and historical-genetic. The Source base of the research consists of documents of archival funds of Germany, memoirs and partly materials from the German press.

Analysis. The decision of the SS leadership to execute the evacuation of ethnic Germans from Transnistria was due to the further advance of Soviet troops in the southern direction. However, even at the planning stage, the German side was faced with serious problems that could disrupt the entire operation. Due to the fact that control over many transport communications was lost, evacuation routes could only run through the territory of Romania, Bulgaria, occupied Serbia and Hungary. Therefore, the German leadership had to initiate urgent negotiations with the authorities of some of these states. Especially difficult was the negotiation process with the Romanian side which did not want to provide any assistance in the evacuation of the Germans from Transnistria. The High Command of the Wehrmacht was also in no hurry to provide assistance (for example, in transport support).

Results. Despite the above-mentioned problems, the SS leadership was still able to carry out this resettlement action for several months. Most Germans decided to leave their homes not under the administrative pressure from the occupying authorities, but voluntarily, guided exclusively by the instinct of their survival.

Published: February 2020

This article discusses the general principles of legal regulation of inheritance of the Civil code in force and their comparison with those prevailing in Muslim law. The Muslim law of inheritance ab intestat -the only “legal one” because really the Muslim law is not recognized in “testamentary succession”- it produces awe to the one who discovers. Its technique, but mostly the principles with which they are at the base and the spirit that it animates (it might not be without regard for the sacred), constitute difficulties for lawyer largely influenced by French law. More than in any other system of law, we need to look in history, not so much due to tracking descendants, about which we know quite a bit, as well as with the purpose to avoid countermeasures meanings in terms of the spirit that animates this right.
