Roman ceramic thymiaterion from a Coptic hermitage in Thebes
Authors:   National Museum in Warsaw, Eastern Christianity Art Collection, Górecki Tomasz
Published: February 2021

The rather massive and relatively well-preserved incense burner, distinguished not only by its size and weight, but also by quality of execution and elaborate painted decoration, was found in the fill of a Coptic hermitage located in a disused Pharaonic tomb at Sheikh Abd el-Gurna in West Thebes. A consideration of a limited set of known parallels for this thymiaterion, which is not a well studied form among the pottery from Roman Egypt, placed this piece between the Hellenistic and late Roman periods, more specifically, in the 3rd-4th century AD when a characteristic kind of slip started being used on the more "elegant" ceramic vessels. It must have come from either a tomb or rich residential surroundings, and found its way to the hermitage with the monks who were resourceful collecting of a whole range of "antiquarian" objects which they adapted for other uses.
Human remains from Marina el-Alamein
Authors:   Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Kaczmarek Maria
Published: February 2021

The aim of the paper is to draw a health profile of a past human population—the Graeco-Roman inhabitants of a harbor city at the site of Marina el-Alamein on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt—and to study levels of adaptation of this population to the environment in which it lived. The author presents her methodology: the conceptual framework, skeletal inventory and scoring procedures, the uses her data to discuss in detail the paleodemography (demographic population structure and patterns of mortality) and physiological stress (disruption of growth and maturation), which can be defined as a physical disruption resulting from unhealthy environmental conditions with deleterious effect on both the individual and population level. Life expectancy was found to be at 39.1 years for males and 33.4 years for women. Based on skeletal growth of the most vulnerable subgroups of the population, infants and children, The people who were buried in the tombs of Marina el-Alamein lived a stressful life in an impoverished environment and their diet was inadequate. Overall dental health was very poor, significantly more so among women, and the high rates of arthritis and degenerative diseases of the spine and the major joints were suggestive of heavy workloads in life.
Glass medallion in the shape of a lion’s head mask
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, Kucharczyk Renata
Published: February 2021

A glass appliqué in the shape a lion's head mask is an example of applied decoration found on late Roman glasses, which may have actually seen extended use as a keepsake or amulet, long after the vessel itself, presumably a globular or conical handled jug or bulbous flagon, had been broken. The medallion in high relief was found during Polish excavations on Kom el-Dikka in 2007, in a cut from the early Islamic period containing fill of mixed date, from late Roman to early Islamic. The paper considers parallels for the piece, both published and unpublished, from excavations in Egypt as well as museum collections worldwide. All are considered to be made in Egyptian workshops and representing traditional “Egyptian” themes, although the idea of decorating glass vessels with applied medallions was hardly a novel idea in the late Roman period and was a continuation of a tradition from Imperial times, but with a different range of motifs. Glass masks of this kind appeared also on other vessels, like glass cinerary urns, for example, and continued to be applied as decoration on late Sassanian and early Islamic products.
Head vases of the Magenta Group from Cyprus
Authors:   The National Museum of Denmark, Collection of Classical and Near Eastern Antiquities, Lund John
Published: February 2021

The paper deals with a sub-species of the so-called “Magenta Group” of plastic pottery vessels, that is, handled flasks in the shape of a human head, developing an idea voiced by Demetrios Michaelidis in an authoritative study of the vases known from Cyprus, that at least these vessels could have been produced on the island. The head vases fall into two broad categories: displaying Egyptian stylistic traits (Category I) and in Greek style (Category II). Upon review of the evidence, it seems that the Cypriot workshops producing such vases (pending petrographic analyses of the clay fabric) were located somewhere in the central part of southern Cyprus, from at least the last quarter of the 3rd century BC most probably through the 1st century AD. The earliest vases display Egyptian stylistic traits; later specimens in the Greek style, which emerged in the (second half?) 2nd century BC, represent figures associated with wine consumption, which may suggest their production for a special occasion like a cultic feast.
Divus Probus(?) in a fragmentary building(?) inscription in Latin found in Kato (Nea) Paphos, Cyprus
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Institute of Archaeology, Department of Papyrology, Łajtar Adam
Published: February 2021

The paper concerns a fragmentary Latin inscription on a broken slab of marble, found in secondary fill in the residential villa excavated by the Polish team in Nea Paphos. It is dated by the type of script to the second half of the 3rd or the first half of the 4th century AD. A review of an updated collection of Latin texts (including some bilingual inscriptions in Latin and Greek) discovered in Cyprus demonstrated that they are either directly or indirectly connected with the Roman state and Roman institutions. The juncture cum porticibus indicates that it was either a building inscription or a honorific inscription for someone, possibly Divus Probus (although the text could be supplemented with the names of other divine or divinized figures), who was involved in some kind of building activity, either by giving money for the construction or by consecrating it. The commemoration could have concerned the construction of an important administrative building (praetorium), military installation, road station etc. or a municipal structure founded by a Roman or consecrated by a Roman state official and incorporating a portico (bath, market place, theater, temple, etc.).
L’acquis des fouilles de Tell Atrib pour la connaissance de l’époque ptolémaïque
Authors:   Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures, Polish Academy of Sciences, Myśliwiec Karol
Published: February 2021

The article gives a brief overview of the archaeological evidence for the Ptolemaic phase in the existence of ancient Athribis, a site located in modern Benha in the Nile delta in Egypt. Excavation of the part of the site around Kom Sidi Youssouf revealed a sequence of layers dated as follows: the earliest from the beginning of the Ptolemaic period through the reign of Ptolemy V (a); essentially the reign of Ptolemy VI through the second half of the 2nd century BC (b); and the later Ptolemaic period through the beginning of the Roman period, the latter phase largely disturbed by later activities at the site. The investigated quarter was not settled before the second half of the 4th century BC and later developed into a vibrant workshop quarter producing pottery and terracottas, stone figurines, faience vessels, gold jewelry and sundry other objects. Many of the artifacts, a selection of which is presented in the paper, were most certainly produced as devotional objects for sale and use in the numerous shrines and temples that appear to have existed in this part of the ancient city. The assemblage is characterized by a high quality of execution and iconographic originality, showing that the artists—assumedly Egyptian, Greek and Oriental—reached for the best Hellenistic models for their craftwork.

Une « nouvelle » dédicace apaméenne à Cn. Marcius Rustius Rufinus
Authors:   Université libre de Bruxelles, Balty Jean-Charles
Published: February 2021

The dedication to Cn. Marcius Rutius Rufinus “rediscovered” in the documentation of the Belgian team excavating Apamea in Syria lends grounds for the author to reconsider another inscription, published earlier, honoring the same man, who was a prefect of the Ravenna and Misenum fleets and at the peak of his illustrious career a praefectus vigilum urbi in Rome. The inscription in question is a dedication of the North Gate by the city boule (council), which is presumed to have been part of the rebuilding project after the earthquake of AD 47. The restitution of the text indicates that the Apameans making the dedication belonged to the Fabia, Roman citizens but not representing all of the citizens of Apamea, who honored Marcius Rutius Rufinus at the moment in his life when he left the city to command the Ravenna fleet.

Ethics need to be redeveloped as an effort to build the excellent forensic and legal victimology education, and law-abiding human beings with moral value. Being ethical means, therefore the awareness of the importance of ethics must always be a basic requirement in the forensic and legal victimology education order. The relation between ethics and educations is indeed close. There are many links which make both share similarities and differences, but the difference is not meant to separate them one from another. In addition, ethics and legal norms both have the same social aims, namely humans to do deeds according to the norms of society. Without a strong ethical principle, the awareness of forensic and legal victimology education may not grow well, the education may lose its substance. Even, the forensic and legal victimology is used as a tool to merely invigorate greed and selfishness. But by sticking to ethical principles, the awareness of forensic and legal victimology might grow well, as it may deliver and elevate human standards may realize social justice in Indonesia.

The value of the ECtHR practice for making procedural decisions when conducting covert investigative (search) actions
Authors: Bilichak Olena
Published: February 2021

Based on the analysis of the provisions of domestic law, the practice of pre-trial investigation and court, the scientific article develops recommendations on how to take into account the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in covert investigative (search) actions and use the results obtained in evidence.
It is established that the current legislation provides for the possibility of conducting pre-trial investigation of serious and especially serious crimes of covert investigative (investigative) actions, which in most cases is related to intrusion into privacy and correspondence of a person protected by Art. 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Therefore, knowledge of the content and consideration of the case law of the ECtHR in making procedural decisions on the conduct of pre-trial investigation by certain NSDCs and the use of the results obtained by them in court evidence is a strong guarantee of the legality of court decisions.
When making certain procedural decisions regarding the materials of covert investigative (investigative) actions at the pre-trial and court stages of criminal proceedings, it should be taken into account that the right to secrecy of correspondence guaranteed by Art. 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ensures the inviolability of all forms of communication between persons, both by means of communication and without them. All covert investigative (search) actions should be carried out only in accordance with the law. Audio and video materials submitted by private individuals and produced «with the help» of law enforcement officers cannot be considered admissible evidence. Carrying out NSRD to control the commission of a crime (Article 271 of the CPC of Ukraine) should exclude the possibility of provocation by the pre-trial investigation authorities. If their intelligence staff was involved in such a special operation, in the initial stages of its conduct the conduct of the pre-trial investigation body should be exclusively passive and limited to observation. In any case, the evidence in the criminal proceedings in which the relevant special operation took place should not be based only on its materials, and the burden of proof rests with the prosecution.
Key words: criminal proceedings, European Court of Human Rights, covert investigative actions.

Linguosophical reception of decoding of documentary film text (on the example of films about Lesіa Ukrainka
Authors: Ganzha Anhelina
Published: February 2021

In the modern information space of the beginning of the XXI century, verbal communication is increasingly combined with various non-verbal ways of transmitting information. Currently in the field of view of researchers heterogeneous texts characterized by a polycode structure. Different recipients decode the same heterogeneous text with varying degrees of depth and adequacy. Traditionally, the following factors influencing the decoding process are distinguished: personal characteristics of the recipient of the heterogeneous text; parameters of the heterogeneous text and the reality reflected in it; the specifics of the situation in which the decoding takes place.
Among heterogeneous texts, a special place belongs to film text, the decoding of which is always variant, as it depends on the perception of a particular viewer, and occurs at the level of the text (verbality) and at the level of other means of expression (nonverbality).
The polycode nature of modern communication has a powerful influence on the culture of society and linguistic culture in particular, which is primarily manifested in media production. In the broad sense, infotainment is a way of presenting information in an entertainment form based on the hedonistic function of the media and appealing to the audience’s emotions. The most widespread linguistic techniques of infotainment are language play, expressiveness, irony, suspense, dramatization. They are aimed at ensuring the dynamism and creativity of the plot, emotional influence, saturation with means of expressiveness. For linguistic analysis, we consider the term “language marker” of infotainment to be more correct, since linguists deal with a ready-made, already established media product, in which certain language tools mark (indicate, help identify) the format of infotainment, whereas social communication specialists study the mechanisms for creating media products in this format.
According to the results of the study, the language markers of infotainment in documentary movies are expressed and concealed, can be correlated or contrast with the video, but they are combined by a pragmatic approach to establish contact with the recipient, to attract and to retain his attention.
Christianity vs the idea of freedom in the language of Lesіa Ukrainka
Authors: Kots Tetiana
Published: February 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of Christianity and civic position as nuclear concepts of language creation of Lesia Ukrainka in the context of cultural and historical conditions and philosophical ideas of the late XIX – early XX centuries. Particular attention is paid to the contradictions between the sacredness and rational and emotional value of traditional for Ukrainian linguistic biblical concepts and ideas of national revival. The semantic and stylistic potential of language means (abstract names of feelings, positive and negative vocabulary) to denote the value dominants of Christianity and national identity is revealed. Performing stylistic, compositional, pragmatic functions in the literary text, sacred and evaluative units are the expression of individual-authorial reception of the language of Scripture, cultural world heritage in the projection on the development of Ukrainian poetic and literary vocabulary and at the same time a manifestation of the nation’s spiritual memory.
The idea of rational and emotional assessments of early Christianity in Lesia Ukrainka’s dramas is aimed primarily at understanding in the Ukrainian space the similarities with turning points in the history of Roman and Russian empires, awareness of irreconcilable contradictions of epochs and cultures: Roman and Christian, Ukrainian and Russian. The assertion of one’s own identity, the desire to create with one’s own hands one’s full-fledged earthly life with its “struggles, passions, sufferings” leads to the achievement of “peace and harmony” on one’s land. And this is the only way to “world harmony”.
Mathematical Analysis of Improving the System Capacity and Signal to Interference Ratio in Cellular Mobile Communication
Authors: Islam Md. Ariful , Begum Amena , Hasan Md. Rakib
Published: February 2021

The most important index for Quality of Service is call drop which has not been accurately discussed before. Sometimes the network disconnects while talking on the phone, this disconnection is called a dropped call. The level of call drop of mobile operators in the every country has increased significantly lately. As a result, thousands of mobile phone users are suffering. To reduce call drop, at first the factors causing call drop have identified in this paper. Based on these factors, dropped call model has developed to find out the parameters associated with call drop. Then some existing techniques have analyzed mathematically to improve the different parameters of these factors to reduce call drop. Three main factors have identified from the developed dropped call model causing call drop such as the lack of available channels, the poor signal quality and the handover failure. In this paper, mathematical analysis of cell splitting, cell sectoring and Microcell zone concept have provided to support extra connecting demand, ongoing service and to improve the signal to interference ratio. Also queuing handoff will be analyzed mathematically with justification to avoid disturbing service call drop. Simulation of mathematical model of these call drop reduction techniques has performed using MATLAB software.
A Literature Review on the Definitions of Dropout in Online Higher Education
Authors: Xavier Marlon , Meneses Julio
Published: February 2021

Online higher education continues to grow, yet its high dropout rates remain a pressing and complex problem. However, there are many different definitions of dropout (and related concepts: attrition, persistence, and retention) in the literature, usually related to a temporal conception, and the issue is controversial. Inconsistent terminology is problematic because the ways dropout is defined determine how it is measured, tackled, and researched. This contribution seeks to remedy such issue by summarizing a scoping review of the recent literature on the theme, focusing on the key issue of online higher education students’ dropout conceptualization and definition. A scoping review between 2014 and 2018 yielded 138 articles and dissertations. Findings reveal a complex yet disorganized field, lacking standard definitions. Some concepts (e.g. completion) were defined clearly more often, while others (e.g. attrition and dropout) varied wildly; few papers employed previous definitions from the body of literature. Future research should strive to achieve greater consistency in terminology, so as to compare findings and produce reliable knowledge for intervention in online higher education institutions.

The main goal of the paper is to describe current practice and experience of one university in application of digital badges with particular attention to two research questions: What are the purposes of issuing digital badges to students? How digital badges are used in fully online or blended learning studies referring to student’s assessment and recognition? A case study design has been selected in order to analyse real-life issues and practices. Virtual learning environment and characteristics of meta data of digital badges have been analysed. The results of the analysis indicate that majority of digital badges were issued in order to assess students’ knowledge, skills, and competencies while the rest of the digital badges were issued to acknowledge personal features ant to motivate. However, recognition using digital badges does not take please at the University. Findings indicate that teachers need trainings on the development and application on digital badges in order to offer transparent procedures when the system itself gives digital badges to students after their fulfilment of predefined criteria to make assessment process more objective.
Integrating an AI-Driven Discussion Platform: The Impact of Platform on Engagement and Quality
Authors: Hudson Cassie , Archibald Audon , Heap Tania
Published: February 2021

Online educators rely on asynchronous discussions to satisfy the bulk of student-student engagement that is lost when transferring from a face-to-face to an online format. However, not all discussion platforms are created equal and some specialized tools may offer advantages over standard tools embedded in more comprehensive learning management systems (LMS). In this study, we compare two online discussion platforms – one is the native discussion tool embedded within the Canvas LMS and the other is a specialized discussion platform, Packback, which supports students and instructors with gamified elements and artificial intelligence. Specifically, we assess whether post quality differs across these platforms, as measured by average word count, cited sources and weekly participation rate. The initial results are mixed and differ by course, leading us to conclude that the impact of platform on engagement and quality likely depends on the course content, instructor and protocol.

Published: February 2021

This paper presents a review of distance education literature published in the Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education (TOJDE) to describe the status thereof and to identify gaps and priority areas in distance education research based on a validated classification of research areas. The articles (N = 784) published between 2000 and 2015 were reviewed for this study. Findings indicated that issues related to educational technology are a popular research area in articles published in TOJDE. Nearly all the articles are theoretical/descriptive, quantitative, or qualitative in nature. According to publication and authorship patterns, TOJDE is an international journal with a special ability to reflect developments in its near region in the field of distance education.

Published: February 2021

Probabilistic uncertain linguistic sets (PULTSs) have widely been used in MADM or MAGDM. The CODAS method, which is a novel MADM or MAGDM tool, aims to acquire the optimal choice which have the largest Euclidean & Hamming distances from the NIS. This paper designs the probabilistic uncertain linguistic CODAS (PUL-CODAS) method with sine entropy weight. Finally, a numerical example for green supplier selection is given and the obtained results are compared with some existing models.
Les apports de l’amélioration continue au contrôleur de gestion business partner
Authors: Henriot Julien , Gorin Sylvain , Khenniche Samia
Published: February 2021

Sur ces vingt dernières années, il est possible d’observer une évolution des responsabilités du contrôleur de gestion qui, en sus de son rôle historique de technicien de l’information financière, oriente davantage son action vers l’aide à la décision. C’est ainsi qu’a émergé la figure du contrôleur de gestion business partner , partenaire du manager local et co-pilote de la prise de décision. Après avoir exposé les difficultés d’opérer cette mutation, nous explorons l’hypothèse selon laquelle il est possible de rendre le rôle de business partner effectif en hybridant le contrôle de gestion et des démarches d’amélioration continue. Notre démonstration s’appuie sur l’étude de cas d’une entreprise industrielle qui nous permet d’identifier, grâce à cette hybridation, une extension du champ d’action du contrôleur de gestion.
Peut-on faire une histoire naturelle de l’air ?
Authors: Crignon Claire
Published: February 2021

Imperceptibles, difficiles à observer, l’air et les vents ne sont pas seulement appréhendés par le recours aux instruments, au sein de l’espace fermé du laboratoire. Leur connaissance peut requérir des qualités de mémorisation et d’observation auxquelles les voyageurs, les marchands, les agriculteurs pourront, peutêtre, plus facilement prétendre que des savants experts. Partant de l’exposition du projet d’une histoire naturelle et de son application au cas spécifique de l’air et des vents dans l’oeuvre de Francis Bacon, l’article examine les moyens mis en oeuvre par les auteurs qui ont revendiqué le legs baconien (Boyle, Hooke, Childrey, Plot) afin de surmonter les obstacles qui s’attachent à la connaissance de l’air et à celle de ses effets sur le développement des maladies ou la poursuite de la santé.
La maîtrise des langues comme enjeu politique. Le cas des organes de représentation de l’Union européenne au Niger
Authors: Colomba-Petteng Léonard
Published: February 2021

Quelle langue parle-t-on au sein des institutions européennes ? Quels sont les facteurs qui conduisent des acteurs issus de contextes nationaux et culturels divers à s’accorder sur une langue de travail dans le cadre de leurs interactions professionnelles ? Quelle importance ce choix revêt-il pour eux et quels peuvent en être les effets ? Cette étude conteste la naturalité du choix des langues de travail au sein des institutions européennes et envisage ces arrangements particuliers comme un problème à expliquer. La démarche vise à repérer les enjeux politiques qui sous-tendent ces choix et les rapports de force internationaux et locaux dans lesquels ils s’inscrivent. Il s’agit de mettre en lumière les effets de l’usage de la langue française sur la morphologie de la mission d’appui aux forces de sécurité (EUCAP Sahel), et d’insister sur les logiques subversives et sur la contestation à bas bruit qui se jouent au siège, tout en montrant que les enjeux linguistiques peuvent également reconfigurer les rapports de force au niveau local.
The Impact of Interventions Addressing Socioeconomic Inequalities in Cancer-Related Outcomes in High-Income Countries: A Systematic Review
Authors: Bygrave Annie , Whittaker Kate , Sanchia Aranda AM
Published: February 2021

Background

High cancer mortality is a major source of burden. Population-wide programs have been developed to improve cancer outcomes, and although effective in improving outcomes overall, the socioeconomically disadvantaged population have disproportionately benefited. This systematic review evaluated interventions aimed at addressing inequalities in cancer-related outcomes between low and high socioeconomic groups within high-income countries.

Materials and Methods

The Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, and PubMed searches were completed in October 2018. Data extraction and quality appraisal were guided by established mechanisms. Impact of interventions, using odds ratios, with respective 95% confidence intervals were presented, where available.

Results

Sixteen studies reporting on 19 interventions were included. Seven interventions (37%) reduced socioeconomic inequalities in cancer-related outcomes, focusing on participation in cancer screening. Interventions included pre-formulated implementation intentions; GP-endorsed screening invitations; enhanced reminder letters; text message reminders; and implementation of an organised screening program.

Conclusions

This systematic review found limited evidence on the efficacy of existing interventions that aimed to reduce inequalities in cancer-related outcomes between people living in low and high socioeconomic areas among high-income countries. Future interventions should consider the specific needs of people living in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas to improve the efficacy of an intervention.
