State Human Rights Commissions as Enforcement System in India: A Critical Appraisal
Authors: Ramesh Kumar
Published: November 2022

The deprivation and denial of the life and liberty of humans are very common in spite of the enforcement system of human rights, subject to exceptions. The State Human Rights Commissions (SHRCs) are for the better protection of human rights but the term ‘may’ have been used by the competent central legislature of India which has the connotation that to constitute the SHRC is at the discretion of the State governments but discretion cannot be arbitrary and against the Indian Constitution. Some state governments of India still did not constitute the SHRC so far now in these circumstances how the better protection of human rights shall be possible? In the States where SHRCs has been constituted but due to the shortage of staff members or manpower to perform the functions as conferred on the SHRCs, now how the human rights shall be protected of people? In addition to the aforesaid, large pendency of cases also is existent. Whether the Legal Legislative Mandate of the Parliament by way of the Protection of Human Rights Act 1993 (TPHRA) with the intention and objectives of this statue is being complied with or not by the state governments? Keeping in the special views as aforesaid, this research has been conducted which covers the existing State Human Rights Commissions (S.H.R.C.s), functions, power, procedure, the compositions, vacant posts, pendency, disposals, recommendations, registered cases on Suo-motu about the complaints in the furtherance of rule of law and in the adherence of Rule of Law in a democratic society.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: World Health Organization defines adverse drug reactions (ADRs) as any noxious, unintended, and undesired effect of a drug, which occurs at doses used in humans for prophylaxis, diagnosis, or therapy. For evaluating the incidence and outcome of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to assist in minimizing the deleterious effects, the present study was planned to find the incidence of ADR, its severity, and outcomes among patients. Material and Methods: The spontaneous ADR reporting technique and the Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting Form were used for the data collection and reporting. All patients who developed an ADR during the study period has included. By using Expanded Rawlins and Thompson’s classification, all patients were categorized into types A to F and classified according to the severity levels (mild, moderate, severe) by applying the Modified Hartwig severity scale. The classification of outcomes of the ADRs was done as per WHO criteria as fatal, continuing, recovering, recovered, unknown, or any other. Results: Type B (Bizarre) ADRs were found to be the most frequently occurring ADRs (51%) followed by type A (Augmented) 29%. Maximum ADR cases were found in the 12-45 years age group (58%).

Authors: Marques Ana Beatriz Goes Maia , Triches Rozane Marcia
Published: November 2022

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar os principais obstáculos enfrentados e as formas de superação encontradas na aquisição e no fornecimento de alimentos orgânicos da agricultura familiar pelos atores envolvidos no PNAE em municípios do estado do Paraná, além de apontar seus posicionamentos sobre os alimentos orgânicos da agricultura familiar. Para este estudo selecionou-se 11 municípios, tomando como base a aquisição ou não de alimentos orgânicos da agricultura familiar, o tamanho da população e as macrorregiões do estado. No total foram realizadas 50 entrevistas com três segmentos distintos: organização de agricultores responsável pelo fornecimento de alimentos; gestores/as municipais; e diretores/as e cozinheiros/as de escolas. Como resultado, as principais limitações apontadas foram: quantidade, logística, certificação, custo dos alimentos orgânicos, registro no MAPA e falta de ATER agroecológica. As formas de superação dos problemas apontadas foram: a obrigatoriedade da aquisição destes alimentos posta em lei municipal, maior incentivo, organização da agricultura familiar em torno da produção agroecológica, articulação e diálogo entre os atores envolvidos e maior domínio sobre o tema. Apesar de, no geral, os atores participantes destacarem aspectos positivos dos alimentos orgânicos da agricultura familiar, verificou-se que há falta de conhecimento sobre a produção agroecológica e políticas públicas que favoreçam a aquisição e o fornecimento de alimentos orgânicos. O estudo destacou ainda que somente a política pública não foi suficiente para que ela se efetivasse em cada um dos municípios, sendo necessário que os atores envolvidos sejam proativos.
GENETIC VARIABILITY ASSESSMENT OF Sonneratia apetala (BUCH. -HAM.) IN THE SUNDARBANS OF BANGLADESH
Authors: Nasrin Shamima , Mahmood Hossain , Alam Md. Rabiul , Rahman Md. Masudur
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Sundarbans is the single largest tract of natural mangrove forest in the world, which is situated in the south western coast of Bangladesh. This forest defends the south-western coastal region of the country from natural calamities, like cyclones, flood, tidal surges, tsunami etc. Sundarbans is the natural habitat for many mangrove plants. Sonneratia apetala exists in the low saline zone (LS), medium saline zone (MS) and in the high saline zone (HS) as a pioneer tree species of the Sundarbans. Genetic variability of S. apetala in these three saline zones were examined through the adoption of RAPD-PCR molecular marker. The expected heterozygosity of S. apetala in MS and HS (0.75±0.05 and 0.76±0.06, respectively) was greater than that of LS (0.60±0.13). Again, the average gene diversity over loci of this species in the MS and HS (0.59±0.37 and 0.62±0.38, respectively) was greater than that of LS (0.51±0.32). The greater heterozygosity and genetic diversity of S. apetala establishing in the MS and HS are the causes of its higher salt adaptability than that of growing in the LS in the Sundarbans. Due to higher genetic diversity and salt adaptability, S. apetala could persist in the increasing salinities in the Sundarbans. Moreover, S. apetala seedlings derived from the MS and HS zones of the Sundarbans can be planted in the high saline substrates in the coastal regions of Bangladesh, hence got added advantages for the coastal afforestation programs of Bangladesh.

Authors: Dolhan Saniye , Erbaş Göksel
Published: November 2022

Abstract: In this study, it was aimed to determine the resistance profile by examining the prevalence and species distribution of enterococci in rectal samples of healthy budgerigars and their susceptibility to antibiotics. 100 cloacal swab samples were used in the study. Identification and antibiotic resistance of Enterococcal isolates obtained by classical methods were determined with the automated identification system. As a result of the study, 22 (75.86%) E. faecalis, 2 (6.90%) E. faecium (6.90%) E. hirae (6.90%) and E. casseliflavus/gallinarum and 1 S. uberis (3.44%) was obtained. The presence of Enterococci was detected in 29% of the samples. In general, they were suspectible to Amoxicillin clavunate (96.4%), Ampicillin (100%), Ciproflaxacin (54.2%), Levoflaxacin (60.9%), Gentamicin(Syn) (82.1%), Streptomycin(Syn) (28.6%), Tigecycline (80%), Vancomycin(89.3%), Teicoplanin (96.4%), Linezolide (96.4%) and Nitrofurontion (100%), and they showed 100% resistance to Cefocitin, Amikacin, Gentamicin, Tobramycin, Clindamycin, Erythromycin, TMP-SXT, Fusidic acid and Quinopuristin-Dalfopuristin. The presence of Entrococcal species, which are very important in terms of zoonosis, in healthy budgerigars was revealed. In addition, the different types of antibiotic resistance found in the studies also reveal the necessity of performing antibiotic susceptibility tests in this type of infections. However, it has been demonstrated that which antibiotics will be effective in nosocomial and/or gastrointestinal infections of Enterococcal origin in budgerigars.

Authors: Tabassum Hassina , Zou Ruqiang , Wu Gang
Published: November 2022

High entropy materials (HEMs) with a single-phase structure have introduced a brand-new area of research in electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices. The fusion of divergent elements has been found to produce synergistic effects with advanced physicochemical phenomena. As such, heterometallic equiatomic proportion-based nanomaterials with stabilized configurational mixed entropy exhibit distinguished characteristics to enhance electrode catalytic activity and storage capability. This critical review summarizes the recent advances in developing HEMs at the nanoscale using different synthetic technologies. The most popular types of HEMs are high entropy alloys (HEAs) and high entropy oxides (HEOs), both of which present tunable structural properties. This review pays particular attention to recapitulating the necessary considerations to obtain HEAs effective for water splitting, fuel cell operation, CO2 reduction reactions, and energy storage applications. The demonstrated examples bestow a deep understanding of efficient HEM utilization as electrocatalysts and electrodes for charge storage devices. Finally, challenges and future perspectives pertaining to HEMs adoption as desirable materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices will be discussed.

Authors: Kharisma Annisa , Hartati Tatat , Damaianti Vismaia S. , Solehuddin Muhammad , Chandra Chandra
Published: November 2022

This study aims to develop a learning model to improve elementary school students' explanatory writing skills. This development research used the Plomp model (preliminary research, prototyping phase, and assessment). Data collection techniques were carried out by interview, observation, and documentation study. The data collection tool employed was a written test sheet for students’ explanatory writing skills. After conducting a needs analysis, it was found that the explanatory writing material is new in elementary school. Thus, the students' explanatory writing skills in this study were very low. The teacher then needed a model focusing on the students' development in explanatory writing skills. This research, therefore, produced a learning model of self-regulated strategy development based on local culture to improve the explanatory writing skills of elementary school students. This model can motivate and increase students’ confidence in writing by choosing several strategies provided and measuring, analyzing, and activating early abilities, thereby increasing students’ content knowledge. The results also revealed an increase in students’ explanatory writing skills. Moreover, this special model pays attention to how to write explanatory in elementary school. Further, this model cannot only be used in elementary schools but can also be used at higher school levels. Therefore, future researchers are advised to conduct research by testing the effectiveness of learning models with similar themes at higher school levels.

This study used a cognitive flexibility training VR program that can view and solve problems from various perspectives, self-regulation, and self-regulation with the super cognitive ability required for creativity to improve college students' creative personality and attitude, creative problem solving, and convergence thinking ability. In addition, differences in creative personality and attitude, creative problem solving, and convergence thinking ability were analyzed before and after participation in the program. In this study, 55 students were recruited voluntarily among four-year E University students in Gyeonggi-do. The experimental tool is VR content developed by FNI Co., Ltd. The main contents are mainly composed of improving self-control ability, strengthening positivity, and enhancing interpersonal relationships. The IBM SPSS Statistics 25 program was used to analyze the collected data to test the research question. First, frequency analysis and descriptive statistical analysis were performed to examine the mean and standard deviation of the sociodemographic factors and measurement variables of the subjects. Moreover, to determine how consistently the measuring instrument was used, the reliability was validated by calculating the Cronbach's coefficient value. Furthermore, factor analysis was utilized to minimize the number of items in the developed measurement tool by removing variables unrelated to the component to be studied. Factor analysis has the purpose of reducing variables, removing unnecessary variables, identifying variable characteristics, evaluating the validity of measurement items, and creating variables using factor scores. In addition, to confirm the statistical significance of the average values of creative personality and attitude, creative problem solving, and convergence thinking before and after participating in the VR program, a matched-sample t-test was performed. As a result of the study, it was found that participation in the self-regulation and cognitive flexibility VR program had a positive effect after participation compared to before participation in creative personality and attitude, creative problem solving, and convergence thinking.

Published: November 2022

Discutir a avaliação no ensino faz parte de um processo que aponta a importância de o currículo estar alinhado com o planejamento que contemple a aprendizagem focada no aluno.  Para tanto, objetivamos compreender como as perspectivas de avaliação da aprendizagem se apresentam nos trabalhos da Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação (Anped), visto possíveis contribuições, limites e/ou desafios no contexto do Ensino de Ciências (EC). Assim, para esta pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, selecionamos os trabalhos publicados da 39ª Reunião Nacional, cujo tema foi: “Educação Pública e Pesquisa: ataques, lutas e resistências”, compreendendo como as perspectivas de avaliação se apresentam no EC, com base nas perspectivas avaliativas de Uhmann (2015), a saber: avaliação classificatória da reprodução e avaliação emergente da recriação. Dos 403 trabalhos, portanto, ficaram 81, os quais foram estudados, emergindo nas duas categorias, a saber: 1) Enfoque dos trabalhos observados na Anped (organizados nos grupos: avaliação externa, avaliação institucional, outros (avaliação de documentos, livros...) e avaliação da aprendizagem) e 2) Perspectivas de avaliação da aprendizagem. Nesta, foram analisados 41 trabalhos (advindo do grupo “avaliação da aprendizagem”) em atenção ao EC, mostrando que ainda precisamos avançar na discussão referente à avaliação da aprendizagem no processo, diferentemente de uma estratégia que aponta um resultado final, tal como acontece em uma avaliação classificatória da reprodução. Outrossim, percebemos a necessidade de ampliar as estratégias avaliativas para melhorar o processo da avaliação da aprendizagem indo em direção à avaliação emergente da recriação, sendo que nesta pesquisa firmamos a importância de o currículo destacar a avaliação no processo de ensino em contexto escolar.

"I Am My Own Best Medicine": Joshua Whitehead's Jonny Appleseed and Two-Spirit Resurgence
Authors: Jay Lalonde
Published: November 2022

This article explores how Joshua Whitehead’s novel Jonny Appleseed discusses the complexities of being Two-Spirit on the reserve and in the city in Canada, exposes the double oppression and erasure of Two-Spiritedness, and demonstrates the possibility—and necessity—of queering the struggle for Indigenous resurgence. This article connects Two-Spirit theory with Native feminist theories (and their analyses of heteropatriarchy) and Qwo-Li Driskill’s concepts of “colonized sexuality” and a “Sovereign Erotic.” By close reading the novel and focusing on the themes of performance, erasure, shame, ceremony, and the body, this article aims to show the ways Indigeneity and queerness are interconnected and constantly re-negotiated. This article also aims to show how these links expose the underlying structural heteronormativity and heteropatriarchy in settler colonialism and Indigenous resurgence discourses. It suggests the possibility of radically revising the struggle for resurgence by centering Two-Spiritedness and understanding Two-Spirit desires and identities as inherently anti-colonial.
Pragmatic Strategies of Resistance: Ralph Ellison's Radical Second Act
Authors: Rasmussen Johs
Published: November 2022

This article argues that Ralph Ellison in Three Days Before the Shooting... radicalizes John Dewey’s pragmatic philosophy. To that end, the character arc of the black jazzman LeeWillie Minifees, who sets his expensive Cadillac aflame in the public sphere, discloses a dormant revolutionary zeal in Ellison’s political imagination. The two narrative spaces Minifees occupies—chapters four and fifteen—articulate a scathing critique of late capitalism and its attendant effect on US democracy. This article therefore posits that Minifees’s Cadillac-burning dissent constitutes a mode of creative democratic experimentation that is typical of the Deweyan pragmatic tradition, except that the jazzman’s actions suggest that the unmaking of the extant material conditions of existence is a precondition for African American subjects’ acquisition of proper political agency. In light of the analysis conducted herein, this article concludes that Minifees’s character arc should occasion a reassessment of Ellison’s textual politics, which are too often reduced to the thesis that black and white US citizens cannot escape their shared histories.

Automated Breast Ultrasound
Authors: Žaja Marija , Matijaš Tatjana
Published: November 2022

Due to the growing number of breast cancer patients, an early diagnosis is important in order to reduce the mortality rate of those affected. Methods such as mammography, DBT, MRI, HHUS or ABUS are used in the detection of breast cancer. The aim of this article is to review the literature showing the basic principle of ABUS and to point out its advantages and disadvantages in relation to conventional methods of breast imaging. ABUS is a relatively new ultrasound method that performs well on patients with dense breast tissue. It reduces operator dependence and provides valuable diagnostic information with multiplanar reconstructions. Using evidence from reliable researches, studies have demonstrated that ABUS has a higher diagnostic accuracy compared to mammography, which remains the primary modality for early diagnosis of breast cancer. Applying ABUS as an adjunct to mammography during the screening test has proven effective and further confirmed the importance of their application in clinical practice. The disadvantage of the combination of ABUS and mammography was that in a large number of studies the specificity was lower compared to mammography itself. Compared to DBT, ABUS has demonstrated to have a higher diagnostic performance, with the exception that it lacks the ability to effectively detect calcifications. Although MRI seem to outperform ABUS, ABUS devices offer a cost-effective and easy to use imaging system, making it the best alternative. The HHUS technique, on the other hand, was perceived by many studies as less painful, with a shorter operative time compared to ABUS. However, the sensitivity and specificity of this screening method continues to remain inferior to ABUS. The use of artificial intelligence is becoming widely used today. As a result, the CAD software has been developed to be applied in conjunction with ABUS in order to improve the detection rate of breast cancer as well as its accuracy. The use of CAD significantly reduced image reading time and improved the overall diagnostic accuracy of ABUS. According to all the presented data, the use of ABUS medical devices in clinical practice continues to grow in importance and with the further development of technology and medicine, its full integration into healthcare systems around the world is expected.

Arteriovenska malformacija (u daljnjem tekstu: AVM) je kongenitalna vaskularna malformacija koju čine nepravilne poveznice između arterije i vene, a koje komuniciraju putem centralnog nidusa. Mogu se razviti u bilo kojem području tijela, ali najčešće se pojavljuju u središnjem živčanom sustavu, rjeđe na periferiji. Periferni AVM-i često se prezentiraju poput tople, rozo-crvenkaste lezije koja pulsira. Izbor liječenja AVM-a ovisi o tipu te je od iznimne važnosti pravilno dijagnosticiranje i klasifikacija AVM-a. U ovom su radu opisani načini dijagnosticiranja AVM-a, klasifikacija AVM-a te načini provedbe radiološkog intervencijskog postupka koji se provodi u cilju njegova liječenja. Prikazana su i dva slučaja uspješnog liječenja perifernog AVM-a radiološkim intervencijskim postupkom u Kliničkoj bolnici Dubrava Zagreb.

Published: November 2022

Integrating community-based fire management and community water resource management provides a useful way to prevent the ignition and spread of forest fires in Thailand. This follows the Thai expression that “where is more water there will be less fire.” More water also means more ways to generate income, which will improve community livelihoods and help sustain a community-based approach to fire and water management. This article shows that communities can be supported to develop and maintain sustainable practices that reduce the risk of wildfires while improving water availability, air quality and income, and that with additional revenue streams, they can become self-sustaining.

Considerando a carência de estudos sobre a emergência do movimento homossexual em Pernambuco no início dos anos oitenta do século 20, objetivamos por meio das produções discursivas geradas pela mídia impressa: a) analisar a construção discursiva sobre “movimento político” na produção midiática sobre o Grupo de Atuação Homossexual (Gatho) em Pernambuco, no cenário da redemocratização; b) Mapear repertórios sobre homossexualidade na produção midiática sobre o Gatho e sua ação política; c) Identificar atores e atrizes, entre disputas e coalizões, na conformação das notícias sobre esse grupo. Os resultados apontam que o Gatho buscou se posicionar como sujeito político, confrontando esferas institucionais e abrindo campos de aliança com outros movimentos sociais, partido político e imprensa. Também agiu para a produção de novos repertórios de modo a combater discriminações em torno da homossexualidade, aportando um debate sobre a necessidade de garantia de direitos, historicamente negados à população LGBT.
"Introducing the ESG reporting – benefits and challenges - "

"Sustainable finance represents an important concern of the European Union lately, having an essential role in achieving the political objectives of the European Climate Pact. It is interpreted that it supports the sustainable development of economy, simultaneously reducing the pressures on environment and taking into consideration social and governance aspects. The scope of sustainable finance is to improve the financial sector in the context of fighting against climate changes. Considering this purpose, the ESG factors (Environmental, Social and Governance) must be considered in the decisional process regarding the investments of the financial entities, promoting long-term investments in sustainable economic activities and projects. There are many legislative actions at the European level, transposed into national legislation or with direct applicability in Romania for determining developing sustainable economies that beneficially impact the environment and climate changes. The action plan of the European Commission regarding developing a strategy for the sustainable finance contains ten initiatives grouped into three chapters: reorienting cash flow to a more sustainable economy, including sustainability elements in risk management, encouraging transparency and long-term vision.

Észrevételek néhány délnyugat-szlovákiai császárkori leletegyütteshez
Authors: Prohászka Péter
Published: November 2022

A Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum régészeti gyűjteménye számos különféle régészeti korszak emlékanyagát őrzi, melyek a mai Délnyugat-Szlovákia területén kerültek elő. Ezek között, ha kis számban, de a római császárkor leletanyaga is képviseltetve van. Ugyan ezek egy részét több-kevesebb részletességgel már közreadták, azonban a leletkörülményekre és leletösszetételre vonatkozóan legnagyobbrészt a leltárkönyvben található igen szűkszavú bejegyzésekre voltak utalva a kutatók. A kérdések tisztázásához szerencsére sokszor segíthetnek a Nemzeti Múzeum Irattárában található levelek, jelentések. Az alábbi tanulmányban három olyan lelet együttes került feldolgozásra, amelyek ugyan a kutatás számára ismertek voltak, azonban részletes, mindenre kiterjedő közlésük a malackai urnatemetkezés és mellékletei kivételével nem történt meg.
Horogra akadva : Egy új típusú kézi orsó felfedezése az alföldi szarmatáknál
Authors: Pópity Dániel
Published: November 2022

A tanulmány egy nemrég előkerült szarmata kori sír sajátos leletösszefüggésére alapozva egy új típusú kézi orsó bemutatásával foglalkozik. A szerző bemutatja a tárgytípus felismeréséhez vezető utat, annak funkcióját, korszakokon átívelő síron belüli helyzetét és változásait. A magyar kutatás által eddig nem azonosított tárgy felismerése részben új megvilágításba helyezi a szarmata viselettörténet egy vitatott pontját, a tűhasználatot is.

Száz gepida ház : A rákóczifalvi gepida település szerkezete
Authors: Masek Zsófia
Published: November 2022

Az elemzett lelőhely (Rákóczifalva-Bagi-földek 5–8–8A. lelőhely) gepida kori településének feldolgozása nagy kiterjedése miatt új módszertani megközelítéseket igényel. A tanulmány célja a település szerkezetének vizsgálata, kiemelve a részben földbe mélyített épületek szerkezeti sajátosságait, amely számos önálló szempontot adhat a település kronológiai fázisainak meghatározásához is.
Az avar kori nagy gyöngycsüngős fülbevalók
Authors: Balogh Csilla , Pásztor Adrien
Published: November 2022

Az avar kori fülbevalók közül a 8 mm-nél nagyobb méretű gyöngycsüngős példányokkal, az úgynevezett nagy gyöngycsüngős fülbevalókkal foglalkozik jelen tanulmány. A fülbevaló-típus előképei elsődlegesen a késő antik – bizánci műhelyek féldrágakövekből készített csüngőjű, többnyire arany fülbevalói között keresendők, ugyanakkor az avar emlékanyagban fellelt példányok helyi készítmények. A típus avar kori példányainak teljességre törekvő összegyűjtése után elvégezzük rendszerezésüket, vizsgáljuk az egyes típusok, változatok területi elterjedését, eredetük kérdését és a kísérőleletek részletes elemzésével a fülbevalók kronológiai helyzetét. A Kárpát-medence avar kori emlékanyagában való megjelenésük része a 7. század második negyedében/közepén meginduló lassú divatváltozásnak, amely az üveggyönggyel díszített ékszerek készítéstechnológiájában is markáns változásokkal járt együtt.
Az avar kori félgömb alakú és rozettás lószerszámveretek
Authors: Csuthy András
Published: November 2022

A cikk az avar kor egyik legáltalánosabb, elsősorban lószerszámdíszként funkcionáló verettípusához, a félgömbveretek és az egyszerűen csak rozettaként leírt veretek elemzéséhez nyújt támpontokat. Ezen kívül érinti a pajzs alakú, a piramis alakú és a háromkaréjos rozetták kérdéskörét is. Az anyaggyűjtés nem teljes, az értékelést egy nagyobb minta segítségével próbálom szemléltetni.

A dunaszentgyörgyi avar temető kerámiái az archeometria tükrében
Authors: Kreiter Attila , Skriba Péter , Bajnóczi Bernadett , Tóth Mária , Viktorik Orsolya , Pánczél Péter
Published: November 2022

A tanulmány a 2009-ben feltárt dunaszentgyörgyi avar kori temetőrészlet sírjaiból előkerült edények természettudományos vizsgálatának eredményeit tekinti át. A leletanyag összetétele a Délkelet-Dunántúlra jellemző sírkerámia legtöbb típusát magába foglalja, így a szerzőknek lehetőségük nyílt az egyes kerámiatípusok összehasonlítására, azok kapcsolatának, egymásra való lehetséges hatásának kutatására. A petrográfiai, XRD és XRF vizsgálatok számos alapadatot szolgáltattak a további kerámiakutatásokhoz.

A közel 5000 m2 kiterjedésű területen 2002 áprilisáig több szakaszban elvégzett feltárás során 404, a 10–11. századra keltezhető sír került elő. A tanulmány az eddig közöletlen, ám teljesen feltárt temető leletanyagáról és használati időrendjéről kívánja összefoglalóan ismertetni az előzetes eredményeket.
Csanádpalota II. homokbánya lelőhelyen talált vas- és nemesfém tárgyak anyagvizsgálata és készítéstechnológiai jellemzői
Authors: Török Béla , Kovács Árpád
Published: November 2022

A tanulmány Csanádpalota II. homokbánya 100. lh. SNR 468 és SNR 268 jelenségéből előkerült vas- és nemesfém tárgyak 2014-ben végzett archeometriai vizsgálatáról számol be. Jelen dolgozat ‒ a vizsgálati eredmények tömör, illetve a kétélű kard vizsgálati eredményeinek valamivel részletesebb bemutatása mellett ‒ a morfológiai és szövetszerkezeti megállapítások alapján a tárgyak készítésénél alkalmazott korabeli technológia fontosabb, a vizsgálati lehetőségek alapján kideríthető jellemzőire fókuszál. A vizsgálatok konklúziójaként megállapítható, hogy a vastárgyak egyféle, alapvetően alacsony, de heterogén karbontartalmú bucavasból lettek kialakítva, egyszerű, intenzívebb hűtés nélküli szabadkovácsolással. A nemesfémből készült tárgyak nem öntéssel, hanem legfeljebb kismértékű felmelegítés után hidegalakítással készültek, alapanyaguk kis aranytartalmú ezüst, amelyet vékony rétegben kis ezüsttartalmú arannyal vontak be.
