On the Provenance of the Tesserae in the Mosaic Pavements of Parthicopolis (4th - 6th c.). Local Quarries, Deposits and Import (Preliminary Report for Some Mosaic Tesserae from Basilica No 2)
Authors: PETROVA Svetla
Published: October 2022

This article examines several mosaic tesserae from the mosaic panel of the exonarthex of the early Christian basilica No 2 in Parthicopolis (today’s town of Sandanski).The studied mosaic tesserae are made of glass, brick and stone - marble and sandstone. After the analysis: micro- and macroscopic, method applied: EDS; XRD analysis of the mineral phases and others. The composition and possible production of glass for the smalta tesserae has been established, the composition of the brick tesserae; of two types of white marble tesserae, of sandstone tesserae has been determined.In antiquity, and especially in the early Byzantine period, several marble quarries of very good quality were exploited in the Middle Strymon area. It has been established that the stone tesserae were mined from deposits around the ancient and early Byzantine city, quarries Ilindentsi (‘The marble quarries of Trajan’), and the glass is imported. An assumption has been made about the possible production on site in the city of a type of glass tesserae - with a degree of crystallization. The chemical and structural analysis of the tesserae reveals the origin of the material, stone and glass, the latter in the form of a finished product distributed as an import by Thessaloniki merchants and undergoing only the final stage of heating, cutting and polishing in local workshops. Although research on the origin of tesserae from mosaic panels from the early Christian basilica complexes in Parthicopolis is only in the beginning, research proves the origin of tesserae materials, the supply of mosaic workshops mainly with local stone material, and trade in imported glass for enamel mosaic and its final stage of in situ preparation in Particopolis.

Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Public School Teachers Regarding Traditional Bone Setters, Khartoum Locality
Authors: Hassan Moutaz M. , Shumo Bashier E. , Abdelhai Ahmed M.
Published: October 2022

Background: In Sudan, traditional bone setting (TBS) is still popular and has serious complications. Therefore, awareness and education are essential for TBS. School teachers having a close association with students and parents could be an appropriate medium for health education about TBS after evaluating their awareness. Objectives: To review the knowledge, attitude, and practice among public school teachers toward TBS practice. Methodology: A community-based cross-sectional descriptive study 588 school teachers participated from Khartoum locality, Sudan. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. Results: Of 588 participants, 246 (41.8%) were males and 342 (58.2%) were females having the age range between 22 and 65 years, and (69.2%) received bachelor’s degrees. Around 249 (42.4%) believed that all/some of the TBSs had good basic knowledge and 331 (56.3%) participants thought that all/ some of the TBSs had clinical knowledge and skills. Half of the participants 300(51%) believed that some/all TBSs knew about trauma complications and 283(48.1%) participants believed that all/some of TBSs can make an accurate diagnosis. The two main reasons for the popularity of TBS were the cost (60%) and illiteracy (52.9%). Most of the teachers (79.8%) will take their injured students directly to the hospital. (41%) teachers visited TBS for themselves, and around 51% showed their commitment to TBS. Most teachers (96%) said that they will advise parents to take their child to the hospital, while only 4% said they will advise taking them to the TBS. In a situation, if the parents insist on taking their child to TBS, the majority (67.7%) teachers will advise the parents to take their students to the hospital. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that most participants’ knowledge level was below expectations and they have a positive attitude and strong beliefs toward the traditional bone setters. Making awareness in society is essential by organizing educational programs introducing how orthopedic hospitals are better for fracture treatment than traditional bone setters. Keywords: Traditional bone setters, knowledge, attitude, practice, fracture, school.

Authors: Hasan Jasim , Bardooli Fawaz
Published: October 2022

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Besides conventional therapies to treat coronary artery disease, which ranges from preventative measures to invasive intervention, complex percutaneous coronary intervention techniques have been developed that yield several techniques including rotational atherectomy (RA). It is evident that RA has benefits primarily in treating calcific coronary artery lesions predominantly lesion modification. Similar to other invasive procedures, RA carries variable risks such as perforation, entrapped burr, slow-flow and dissection. Entrapped burr can lead to devastating complications, where it may end up by emergency surgery. The authors report a rare complication of RA, Kokeshi phenomenon, where the stuck burr was successfully retrieved percutaneously.

THE ROLE OF THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE IN THE FORMATION OF THE REGIONAL IDENTITY OF THE STARITSKY UPPER VOLGA REGION AT THE TURN OF THE 19-20TH CENTURIES
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Voronova Svetlana A.
Published: October 2022

According to the information-axiological approach of Yu.A. Vedenin and M.E. Kuleshova, spiritual and intellectual values transmitted in the form of information from generation to generation play a significant role in the formation of the cultural landscape. The comprehensive study and actualization of cultural heritage as part of the cultural landscape reveals the role of traditional culture values in the modern socio-cultural situation. There is a close connection between the cultural landscape and local self-awareness through recognizable and meaningful images, concepts and symbols. Associative meanings and meanings of the cultural landscape of the territory affect the socio-cultural potential of the local society, the identification of its place in the external environment. At the turn of the 19–20th centuries the inhabitants of the Staritsky region were actively engaged in research in the field of local history, archiving, sought to preserve the local cultural heritage in collective practices, collecting, in publications in historical periodicals. Historical and cultural landscape served as inspiration for research of I.P. Krylov, A.N. Vershinsky, S.I. Pokrovsky, A.D. Ushakov. The clergy played a huge role in preserving regional culture. The clergy of the Staritsky Upper Volga region were members of the Tver Scientific Archival Commission, subscribers of historical journals, collectors of local folklore and archivists. The old manors, being at a distance from the provincial center, and possessing a powerful cultural and historical potential, had a great influence on the culture of the county as a whole, their artistic values served as the core of the collection of the county museum.
GROUP IDENTITY OF THE MOLOKANS OF MOSCOW AND THE KRYASHENS OF KAZAN: EXPERIENCE OF COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS (BASED ON FIELD REASEARCH)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Kornilov Gleb I.
Published: October 2022

The article compares group identities of communities of the Molokans of Moscow and the Kryashens of Kazan. I use R. Jenkins’ ideas on sufficient conditions for the formation of a group, E. Erikson’s description and definition of identity together with the concept of “textual communities” by B. Stock as a type of groups to understand the specificity of group self-identification of Molokans of Moscow and Kryashens of Kazan communities. Drawing upon a thematic analysis of field research data (interviews with members of Molokans of Moscow and Kryashens of Kazan), I make it clear that their identities can be characterized as the identities of textual communities (which is indicated by the presence of life-defining texts and attentive attitudes to them). Besides that, results of the research showed other features, expressed by the communities’ members during their self-description. There are similarities between the communities among them: perception of texts defining the communities’ lifestyles; early religious involvement since childhood and via families; attending church/religious assemblies; pronounced religious tolerance. There are also differences: choosing the role of a family member as a key social role for an individual is typical among the Kryashens while finding a universal key social role among the Molokans is hardly possible. There are specific elements too: a deeper interest to religion appears in later periods of life among the Molokans; the role of church and ethnicness is more important among the Kryashens.
THE SEARCH FOR A NEW SUBJECTIVITY. THE VIEWER AS A CYBORG (ON THE EXAMPLE OF ADINA PINTILIE’S FILM “TOUCH ME NOT”)
Authors:   Russian State Univeristy for the Humanities, Kochina Tatiana V.
Published: October 2022

This article examines an original director’s approach to the viewer on the example of the film “Touch me not” (2019) by Adina Pintilie. The spectator’s position is analyzed not from the cinema theory point of view, which is considered insufficient to describe the new defining characteristics, but in terms of the modern philosophical trope about the cyborg by feminist theorist Donna Haraway. It allows us to describe in detail the process of formation of a new subjectivity that meets the conditions of modern culture. This article argues that the film provides a successful attempt to build a new type of cinematic narrative, where the viewer has a new subjectivity since the combination of expressive means forces him to expand his inner freedom and abandon the usual point of view. Art allows to impose ideas on the viewer and control him, it can also teach the viewer to be aware of their limitations. In modern feminist philosophy, one of the conditions of a free future society is the ability to accept oneself as a complex being who can no longer be called a human in the ordinary sense. Modern man is surrounded by technology, partly separated from nature, but in their instinctive desires they are still close to the animal world. In modern philosophical feminist thought, the ability to accept this is a necessity for the conditions of the world of the future. Adina Pintilie’s experimental film allows to conclude that the becoming of a new subjectivity with the help of narratives that encourage acceptance of this fact is possible beyond the limits of theoretical thought.

Authors: ASLANOĞLU Suphi , DAMAYANTİ Tri
Published: October 2022

This research aimed to understand the important powers that affect Related Party Transactions (RPTs) decisions. It used the agency theory perspective to examine the effect of corporate mechanism, comprising variables of controlling ownership, the CEOs characteristics, and independent board of directors, on the decision of RPTs regarding potential conflicts of interest.

A total of 310 financial reports of Turkish manufacturing listed companies in 2019 and 2020 were assessed. Subsequently, controlling shareholder and CEOs characteristics were discovered to play significant roles in the RPTs mechanism, while the independent board director variable had the highest impact.

The strength of the independent board director effect on RPTs decision represents the function of corporate governance mechanisms. Although entrenchment effects occur in RPTs, the denial or approval of independent board directors was dependent on minority interest. It also highlighted the impact of alignment on RPTs’ decision, since the expropriation of ultimate power was balanced within the independent board director’s role.

Published: October 2022

This study aims to examine the effect of work-life quality on women trainers’ turnover intentions in fitness centers. Data were collected from fitness centers for women in metropolitan cities in the western part of Turkey. 243 women fitness trainers participated in the study voluntarily. The work-life quality scale developed by Chen and Farh (2000) and the turnover intention scale developed by Landau and Hammer (1986) were used as data collection tools. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to determine the effect of worklife quality on turnover intention. The analysis showed that the quality of work-life in the fitness centers for women affected the turnover intention of women fitness trainers significantly and negatively (β=-0.358; p<0.01). As a result, this study suggests that organizations should increase the quality of work-life to reduce employee turnover intention.

In Afghanistan, about 1/3 (12.5 mln) of the total population have no access to stable water supplies such as groundwater extraction, stream flow diversion, and reservoir storage. In areas with limited water sources, rainwater harvesting (RWH) can improve the availability of potable water. Due to RWH flexibility and applying different criteria, it can be used in various settings, making RWH a viable option for local communities. Within this study, suitable RWH sites were identified based on modern technological approaches (GIS and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM)) considering different biophysical criteria selected according to the requirements of the target area environment. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) Model and hydrology tools were used as MCDM and GIS-based decisions, respectively. The proposed methodology was implemented in the target area of 11,772 km2. The obtained land suitability map was divided into five (5) RWH zones: highly suitable (7.84% of the total area), suitable (21.85%), moderately suitable (31.15%), marginally suitable (27.85%), and not suitable (11.31%). The research results show that highly suitable and suitable sites (3,495.47 km2) are located in mountainous zones with good elevation potential, proper valley shapes, and large catchment areas. RWH practices in these areas can be considered as renewable and sustainable alternatives to water demand saturation. In addition to being a solution in terms of providing water to water-scarce areas, RWH installations represent a good climate change response and water resource management means.

Published: October 2022

Nowadays with increasing production and exploration activities offshore, the FPSO system has been widely adopted globally because of its unique design system and adaptability to these offshore environmental conditions. This research project aims to provide the station-keeping characteristics of an FPSO in the West African region, by analysing an FPSO with spread mooring design for multiple load cases, different offset, multiple draught conditions and environmental loads, all acting simultaneously and dynamically on the coupled FPSO system. Static and dynamic analysis were conducted using the Orcaflex software to establish the station-keeping characteristics, the recommended practices by DNV for mooring and global performance analysis were utilized for the mooring lines in the static analysis to obtain the primary equilibrium position before the dynamic analysis was conducted and to estimate a dynamic response of the risers in dynamic analysis. The effective tension of the static and dynamic analysis results for the different draught and environmental conditions shows that the far offset had the maximum effective tension, with the fully laden effective tension been the maximum effective tension of the entire simulation. The increase in effective tension as the loading of the FPSO tanks increased caused a reduction in the bending moment radius and thereby reducing the curvature of mooring lines and riser bends. But it was the near offsets that had the minimum bending radii as expected, however, from the analysis the draught conditions provided the largest responses to the multiple loading cases when compared with the changes in the offset positions.

The ever-increasing acquisition of real-time borehole images in the oil and gas industry has unleashed an unprecedented potential for the geomechanical and geological interpretation of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Real-time decision making, whether it is for well placement or wellbore stability analysis, is at our fingertips provided efficient automation techniques are implemented to interpret the geological features from the images. The present work describes fitting customized light neural network (NN) specifically designed to extract stress-induced features from high-resolution ultrasonic images. Thanks to its small size and low memory requirements, it is directly embedded at the heart of a recently deployed logging-while-drilling (LWD) dual physics imager and run downhole in real-time during acquisition. A synthetic description of the extracted features is then streamed to the surface together with a compressed version of one of the borehole images (usually the apparent resistivity image, rich in geological information). This technology brick successfully addresses one of the most drastic limitations in modern LWD acquisition: the limited amount of information transmitted to the surface in real-time through mud pulse telemetry (pressure waves travelling through the mud), reserving the high-resolution images to recorded mode only. Overcoming this problem is of prime importance to spot in real-time, prevent or mitigate drilling instability issues, one of the major causes of nonproductive time on the rig. This new deep-learning methodology builds on expert labeling of stress-induced features (such as breakouts (BO) or induced fractures (IF), followed by rigorous learning on both real and synthetic data. The model detects breakouts downhole with >93% accuracy. It uses a fine-tuned, pre-trained state-of-the-art NN, on which quantization and layer-based pruning of the weights is applied. The model is fed with annotated data from many geological environments, acquired from field tests the new LWD tool, public domain data, and other US imagers. Because drilling-induced features do not necessarily occur over long intervals, a new method was designed to artificially augment the dataset with realistic annotated images, resulting in a significant improvement of the model performance. A post-processing step, guided by geomechanic considerations and proceeding on a larger scale than the downhole network, is deployed at the surface to considerably decrease false positives and increases the robustness of the model. Beyond its current application to wellbore instability prediction, the present method could be generalized at low cost to other real-time applications, other feature or image types, provided a sufficiently large database customized to the desired application is available for training.

Extensive operator experience obtaining rotary sidewall cores on wireline showed the recovery and quality dropped significantly in lower unconfined compressive strength (UCS) formations, making standard analysis results for petrophysical calibration unreliable. This paper discusses a series of physical tests used to quantify the quality and condition of cores obtained using a novel adaption of existing percussion sidewall coring (PSWC) using high-resolution X-ray micro-Computed Tomography (microCT) scan data. The methodology demonstrates how the combination of low technology percussions cores and high technology microCT scans can provide an efficient input into digital rock analysis for formation evaluation. Within defined UCS ranges the quality of the data can be higher than alternative methods. Several sandstones of known properties were first microCT-scanned and then percussion cored in a laboratory environment. PSWC barrels of traditional and novel designs were tested. A range of testing methods were used including sophisticated fixtures that applied hydrostatic pressure with constraining pressures and overbalance. The resulting sidewall cores were then microCT-scanned to evaluate the effects of the percussion test, the quality of the samples and to provide high-resolution images for digital rock analysis. Further information was obtained from finite element modelling, high-speed cameras and sensors to determine impact velocity and deceleration. This data was used to iterate improvements to the PSWC barrel design, modifying variables such as core diameter, sample length and barrel cutter profile. Around seventy-five different combinations of environment and barrel design were successfully acquired. This included repeatability tests and allowed conclusions to be made on the value of the data from different attributes obtained from the microCT scans. The testing allowed the barrel design to be optimized to reduce damage induced by the percussion coring process. Following the testing the range of UCS where this technique is practicable has been determined. Analysis of digital rock physics provides great benefits but requires representative samples as an input. In lower UCS formations acquiring sidewall cores can be challenging. Traditional percussion sidewall cores have long been considered of limited value, however with hardware modifications this paper demonstrates that they can provide high quality inputs into digital rock analysis for a defined range of lower and even moderate UCS formations. Acquiring percussion sidewall cores typically requires significantly less rig time per core than rotary sidewall coring making it practical to acquire a larger number of cores for a given cost.

Published: October 2022

Dural metastases are rare intracranial tumors. They are not sufficiently studied and there are still no specific methods are not to detect them. Differential diagnosis is difficult and only the histologic examination allows a sure diagnosis. We reviewed data records from 2016 to 2020 of patients treated for dural metastases. We included only patients with complete anamnestic history, with both known and unknown primitive cancer. Collected data were compared with recent literature. We operated on 16 single dural metastases, also from very unusual cancers. The most common primitive type of cancer, in our series, was lung tumor, in contrast to prostate cancer, recently reported in literature as the most frequent. A retrospective multicenter study is mandatory to assess new epidemiologic evidences.

Edible coatings are usually used to reduce the drip loss and to inhibit the oxidative processes of muscle foods and when combined with antioxidants to extend their shelf life. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of the incorporation of dry distilled rose (Rosa damascene Mill.) petals extract (DDRPE) into an edible alginate coating on the freshness of paddlefish (Polyodon spathula). Eight fish samples stored 7 days at 0 - 4°C were tested: C - without coating, 1 - with alginate coating; 2 - with alginate coating incorporated by 2% DDRPE solution; 2 - with alginate coating incorporated by 4% DDRPE solution; 3 - with alginate coating incorporated by 2% L-ascorbic acid solution; 5 - surface treated with 2% DDRPE solution; 6 – surface treated with 4% DDRPE solution and 7 – surface treated with 2% L-ascorbic acid solution. Control sample C was analyzed on the first and seventh day of storage and there were determined the changes in pH, acid value, peroxide value, TBARS, color characteristics and microbial changes of the fish. It was found that using alginate coating with a 2% DDRPE solution preserved the freshness of the paddlefish for up to 7 days at 0 - 4°C.
Changes of some groups of phenolic compounds, color characteristics and antioxidant activity of red wine from Bulgaria as a result of bentonite and cold treatments
Authors: Bakardzhiyski Ivan Chenkov
Published: October 2022

The influence of bentonite and cold treatments on some groups of phenolic compounds, color characteristics and antioxidant activity of young red Cabernet Sauvignon wine from Bulgaria was studied. Bentonite was administered in increasing doses in the range of 0.2-1.6 g/L. The wine was chilled at -5 °C for 24 hours. The influence of bentonite on the index 280, phenolic complex and color characteristics was stronger when it was applied in doses of above 0.6 g/L, whereas antioxidant activity was more substantially affected at doses of above 1 g/L. Cold treatment led to greater changes in the studied indices of the composition and antioxidant activity of the wine in comparison to adding bentonite. It led to a decrease in the index 280 by 19 %, and the concentration of the studied phenolic complex groups decreased by about 6-7 %. Color intensity decreased the most of all studied indices. This index was reduced by about 32 %, without a significant change in the composition of its color and shade. The decrease in the content of phenolic compounds is probably the reason for the 23 % decrease in the antioxidant activity of the studied wine.
Nanofiltration process monitoring and antioxidant activity analysis of skimmed milk samples
Authors: Trayanov Iliyan Iliyanov
Published: October 2022

Dead-end stirred cell experiments were performed with reconstituted skimmed milk and model solutions of single components (lactic acid). When a low solids concentration is presented with the feed, dead-end filtration with a selected polymeric membrane with cut-off of 300 Da is a viable option to assure a high rejection of the dissolved organic compounds (> 90%), combined with a good transport at moderate pressures (20 bar) with an average flux increasing from 48 Lh−1m−2 at room temperature and over 67 L h−1m−2 at 50°C until reaching a volume reduction of about 5. The DPPH antioxidant activity was effectively improved (~3 fold) with some loss due to fouling, temperature and transmission of low-molecular weight components in the permeates in spite of high rejection in the process, whilst the latter have astoundingly an antioxidant capacity, so each permeate can be divided into time intervals of permeation per sample into aliquotes with different DPPH antioxidant activity. That is further confirmed with statistical analysis where р > 0.05. As conclusion, because the temperature of up to 50°C significantly increases the flux without much effect on the antioxidant activity, such temperatures, dilution and conditions are viable option for large-scale production uses.

Published: October 2022

The present study aimed to what background children have who experienced father’s infidelity and examined the process of understanding and overcoming father’s infidelity in terms of multicultural social justice. The research question was set to What did I experience through my father’s infidelity? and was conducted by applying a reflective autoethnography research method to explore how the father’s infidelity was affected by the researcher’s life trajectory and how the researcher lives in the context of multicultural social justice. The results of the study show that the first category is 〈facing my father in 25 years〉, the second category is 〈stagnant life tied up in the past〉, the subcategory is 〈looking at parents as an individual〉, 〈bid male discourage〉, 〈beast capitalism〉, the third category is 〈digging out father’s love in a grave〉, the fourth category is 〈traveling to find me〉 and the subcategory is 〈coming out of the cave I made〉, 〈finding me through my mother〉, 〈my changes my parents feel〉. Through the results of the study, the practical implication of this study was to understand infidelity as an integrated perspective by analyzing the sociocultural context in which infidelity is inevitably viewed negatively, the understanding of each individual’s positionality and positionality surrounded by the social justice aspects. In addition, counseling theories such as multiculturalism and social justice conducted a reflective analysis to expand awareness of cultural prejudice, social discrimination, and oppression in the study of autoethnography
