Valoración de la fijación de carbono en dos bosques alto-andinos (Ampay-Lampa)
Authors: Molleapaza Arispe Efrain
Published: October 2023

El problema generado por la acumulación de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera, entendido como el incremento de la temperatura sobre la faz de la tierra, tiene como componente de este efecto la atmosfera capaz de acumular el carbono en su conformación.

Es el caso de los bosques nativo alto andinos de Polylepis (P. incana, P. tomentosa, p. serícea…) encontradas en esta parte del territorio del peruano, con una extensión variable y que hace años tenía una extensión de 5600 Has. es un ejemplo de cómo pueden aportar estos bosques a la solución o mitigación del efecto invernadero, por ende al cambio climático

El bosque de Lampa con el paso de los años está fuertemente impactado, debido fundamentalmente a la necesidad de combustible de los pobladores económicamente más deprimidos, más la prohibición del consumo de Kerosene se suma el precio prohibitivo del gas, la necesidad de leña proveniente de los bosques nativos, presionara cada vez más sobre estos sistemas. Otro beneficio del bosque nativo viene a tener el efecto sombra, en los temas silvo-pastoriles hecho que tiene incidencia directa en la economía del agua, sobre todo en condiciones alto andinas y territorios abiertos.

Para el bosque de Ampay se estima en 7850.746 kilos de carbono con un promedio de 13.08 kilos de carbón por hectárea, en tanto que se estima en 47.87 kilos de dióxido de carbono fijado por hectárea

Para el caso del bosque de queuña en Lampa, la fijación de carbono para una biomasa de 1599.465 metros cúbicos es de 442. 4142 kilos de carbono.

El peligro para estos bosques es la presión humana, no tienen protección alguna, son altamente vulnerables, pues el asfaltado de la carretera que cruza de Sur a norte, determina que la velocidad de depredación sea cada vez mayor.

De no darse condiciones de protección que garanticen la sobrevivencia de los bosques, no es posible garantizar la supervivencia de estos ecosistemas frágiles, privándose de la contribución a los seres vivos de satisfacer el requerimiento de oxígeno, producción de agua, hábitat para la vida silvestre, control de erosión, estabilidad climática etc.

A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se pretende afirmar que los bosques nativos alto andinos cumplen un rol fundamental en el equilibrio de los ecosistemas del cual formamos parte, por lo observado, los bosques de Intimpa que están en un área natural protegida por el Estado, tienen la ventaja de que los árboles que se presentan están asegurados del impacto de la actividad humana, fundamentalmente la extracción de leña o la alteración de las relaciones principales entre los componentes de los bosques de Intimpa.

Naming Chronic Illness: Diagnosis and Disability
Authors: Burdick Claire
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this essay is to explore my experiences with naming my chronic illnesses (Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis) in two ways: getting a diagnosis and eventually naming them as a disability. These two naming processes were very different and had unique consequences for the way that I perceived myself and my experiences. My diagnosis was clear but left me feeling ashamed and isolated, while the process of naming disability is complex, ever-changing, and has given me a sense of community and belonging. I explore the value and shortcomings of both naming processes, as well as others’ perceptions of these names and their beliefs about which I should embrace. I attempt to better understand the relationship between the medical and social models of disability and explore the complexities of naming in the context of difficult and painful experiences while appreciating the positive aspects of my experience with chronic illness and disability. In writing this essay, I hope to better understand my own experience while providing a narrative to add to the vast number of unique experiences of the chronic illness and disability community.

Interaction of Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy with simulated body fluid; a preliminary biocompatibility investigation
Authors: CULFA Şura , TOKER Sıdıka Mine
Published: October 2023

The current study aims to investigate the interaction of Ti-6Al-7Nb with simulated body fluid (SBF) in order to apply a preliminary biocompatibility investigation of this novel biomedical alloy, promising for orthopedic applications. Results of the static immersion tests conducted in SBF at body temperature demonstrated that Ca-P rich structures form on the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy surfaces and the oxide layer formation-dissolution cycle reaches a stable state during immersion. Ion release levels were mostly below critical values except for the initial Al ion release level, which indicated the need for the presence of a stable protective layer on the alloy surface. The second set of static immersion experiments conducted in densified SBF demonstrated that, such a protective layer can rapidly form by biomimetic coating if followed by a preliminary surface treatment. Overall, Ti-6Al-7Nb alloys layers exhibit promising biocompatibility for orthopedic applications, especially with the presence of a stable protective layer.
Journals accepting case reports
Authors: Gotschall Terri , Spencer Angela , Hoogland Margaret A. , Cortez Elisa , Irish Elizabeth
Published: October 2023

Background: Few resources exist to support finding journals that accept case reports by specialty. In 2016, Katherine Akers compiled a list of 160 journals that accepted case reports, which many librarians continue to use 7 years later. Because journals’ editorial policies and submission guidelines evolve, finding publication venues for case reports poses a dynamic problem, consisting of reviewing a journal’s author guidelines to determine if the journal accepts case report manuscripts. This project aimed to create a more up to date and extensive list of journals that currently accept case reports.
Case Presentation: 1,874 journal titles were downloaded from PubMed. The team reviewed each journal and identified journal titles that accept case reports. Additional inclusion factors included being indexed in MEDLINE, accessible on the internet, and accepting and publishing English language submissions.
Discussion: The new journal list includes 1,028 journals covering 129 specialties and is available on the Open Science Framework public page.

Fukuyama’nın Tarihin Sonu Liberal Demokrasi İddiası ve Liberalizme Giden Yolda Devlet İnşası
Authors: GÜRBÜZ Kahraman
Published: October 2023

Tarih ve tarih felsefesi kavramları ile ilgili geçmişten günümüze birçok tanımlama yapılmış, farklı görüşler ve anlayışlar ortaya konmuştur. Modern tarih bilimi anlayışının temelleri özellikle aydınlanma dönemiyle birlikte atılmaya başlanmıştır. Aydınlanma döneminden günümüze kadar geçen süreçte, tarihin bir amacının olduğu ve bu amaca doğru ilerleyen bir süreç olduğu görüşünü savunan tarihçiler, filozoflar ve düşünürler olmuştur. Francis Fukuyama da bu görüşü benimsemiş ve liberal demokrasi anlayışının dünya genelinde kabul gören en ideal yönetim anlayışı olduğunu, tarihin amacına ulaştığını iddia ederek tarihin sonu tezini ortaya koymuştur. Liberal demokrasi anlayışının sosyalizm, monarşi ve faşizm gibi yönetim şekilleri karşısında mutlak zaferini ilan etmiştir. Bu anlayışın evrenselleşmesinin önünde engel olarak gördüğü devletlerin, ulus inşası veya devlet inşası olarak adlandırdığı uygulamalarla kontrol altına alınması ve sistemin parçası haline getirilmesi gerektiğini savunmuştur. Bunun uygulayıcısı olarak da Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD)’ni görmüştür. Demokrasi, özgürlük ve insan hakları gibi söylemlerle toplumların etki altına alınmasını ve liberal ekonomik düzenin kurucusu ABD’nin dünyada tek hâkim güç olmasını hedeflemiştir. Literatür analizine dayalı nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak hazırlanan bu çalışmanın amacı, tarih ve tarih felsefesi üzerine yapılan tanımlardan yola çıkarak, özellikle ilerlemeci tarih anlayışında tarihin sonu kavramından kastedilenin ne olduğunu açıklamak, günümüzde bu görüşün önde gelen savunucularından olan Fukuyama’nın aslında neyi amaçladığının anlaşılmasına katkı sağlamaktır.
Acoustic And Thermal Insulation Foam Modelling and Simulation for Space Craft
Authors: Et al. SURYA MOL N V
Published: October 2023

The basis of this project is the modelling and simulation of melamine foam and study of other acoustic and thermal insulation foams . The External Tank of rockets required insulation to maintain the cryogenic fuels, liquid hydrogen, and liquid oxygen as well as to provide additional structural integrity through launch and after release from the Orbiter. Sites for launching large rockets are commonly equipped with some sound suppression system for absorb or deflect acoustic energy produced during a rocket launch. As engine exhaust gasses exceed  speed of sound, they will collide with ambient air and then shockwaves are created, with noise levels approaching  200 db. Also foam and insulation protects deep space rocket from fire and ice. The cryogenic fuel, made up of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, that powers the rocket has to stay extremely cold to remain liquid

          This project included the modelling and simulation of open foam materials having acoustic and thermal insulation properties. COMSOL Multiphysics has proven to be an invaluable virtual laboratory tool in assisting development of a new generation of efficient analytical models describing the acoustics of highly porous fibre and open-cell foam materials. From this project will get an idea for microstructural viscous energy dissipation, oscillatory heat transfer and elasticity towards the three-dimensional foam geometry through simulation software. very promising results for the Melamine foam material, and an excellent prediction of the acoustics of this open-celled porous foam material will be done through this project.

An Image Steganographic Scheme Based on Edge Detection and Least Significant Bit Substitution
Authors: Hsing-Han Liu Hsing-Han Liu , Hsing-Han Liu Sheng-Chih Ho , Sheng-Chih Ho Tai-Hsiu Wu
Published: October 2023

This work presents a steganographic scheme based on Laplacian-of-Gaussian (LoG) edge detection and least significant bit (LSB) substitution. The cover image is first divided into continuous and non-overlapping 4×4-pixel blocks. The pixel at the top left corner of each block (first pixel) is defined as the reference pixel. After the LoG edge detection, the blocks are classified as edge or non-edge blocks, and this information is embedded in the reference pixels. Each non-reference pixel is then embedded with 5 bits and 4 bits of cipher text if it belongs to an edge block or non-edge block, respectively. Compared to the method of Tseng and Leng, Bai et al., and Ghosal et al., proposed method increased the capacity by 39.6%, 7.3%, and 42.7%, respectively, in the “Lena” cover image. To test the generalizability of our method, an embedding capacity and image quality test were conducted using 10,000 512 × 512 sized greyscale images from the BOSSBase dataset. Compared to the aforementioned previous methods, our method improved the capacity by 33.9%, 2.7%, and 36.1%, respectively, while maintaining an acceptable stego-image quality. Finally, proposed method can resist the detection of RS, pixel difference histogram analysis and second order SPAM features.

Published: October 2023

This work presents the creation and representation of an ontology model for the domain knowledge used for learning objects. The purpose of the developed ontology model is to define relations between learning objects that can be applied for their effective search and visualization. As the number of learning objects increases, the representation of the knowledge domain becomes challenging. In this paper, the authors propose the application of multidimensional concept maps (MCMs) for domain knowledge representation. The definition of different attributes used in the ontology model allow for defining the different dimensions needed for MCM ontology visualization. In order to achieve integration of the defined ontology model and MCMs, a software tool named Ontology-based system for learning objects retrieval (OBSLO) was developed. OBSLO’s role is to dynamically generate MCMs given the defined ontology with its relations and attributes, while also providing a content delivery environment and working space for learners. Proposed OBSLO architecture with integrated ontology model and MCMs was evaluated and compared to the learning management system where ontology and MCMs were not used. It was shown that learners using OBSLO showed better success rate in learning and positive level of satisfaction.

Published: October 2023

In the context of low-carbon city development, this paper further implements a rail transit passenger flow forecasting method to optimize energy consumption by combining the MMA allocation model with a two-tier planning model for carbon emission control. Through this approach, this paper not only fills the gap of rail transportation planning theories and methods compatible with low-carbon city development, but also emphasizes the importance of energy consumption in transportation planning. Based on a two-tier planning model, this paper considers the Starkberg game between multi-modal and multi-type passenger flow forecasting of rail transit and CO2 emissions of integrated transportation systems. By optimizing the allocation of users in the transportation network from the perspective of both users and planners, while optimizing the CO2 emissions of the integrated transportation system, the dual optimization of energy consumption and environmental benefits is achieved. The method will also be tested in Shanghai, and this paper will comparatively study three different carbon emission control schemes. By assigning passenger flows to the entire transportation system network in Shanghai based on information from the Fourth Integrated Transport Survey, including passenger flows on each road in the road network, passenger flows on each rail line, and characteristic indicators, this paper provides a reliable data base. This study provides a solid foundation for planning the layout of rail transit in a low-carbon mode and makes a positive contribution to sustainable urban development by optimizing energy consumption.

Published: October 2023

About 70% of the total cost of the water distribution system is used in the design of water distribution network (WDN), and selecting the most suitable pipe diameter for the WDN is the main way to reduce construction costs. The Rafflesia optimization algorithm (ROA) is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm, which was proposed recently. It has the characteristics of escaping local optimal solutions and stable performance. To further increase the solution quality and convergence speed of the algorithm, the opposition-based learning strategy is adopted in this paper to initialize the ROA algorithm population (namely the OBLROA algorithm). In this paper, the two-loop pipe network is taken as an actual test case, and the OBLROA algorithm is used to design the minimum cost pipe diameter combination. The experimental results show that the OBLROA algorithm can find the lowest cost pipe diameter combination of the two-loop pipe network under the constraints of pressure and velocity. Compared with some previous research work, the OBLROA algorithm needs the least number of evaluations to find the optimal solution, showing strong competitiveness.

 
A Maximum Semantic Reservation Mapping Method Based on Ontology-to-graph Database
Authors: Hongyan Wan Hongyan Wan , Hongyan Wan Huan Jin , Huan Jin Qin Zheng , Qin Zheng Weibo Li , Weibo Li Junwei Fang
Published: October 2023

Ontology is a core concept model in a knowledge graph which describes knowledge in the form of a graph. With the increase in knowledge graphs, the semantic relationships between concepts become more and more complex, which increases the difficulty of reserving its semantic integrity when storing it in a database. In this paper, we propose an ontology-to-graph database mapping method, which can reserve maximum semantic integrity and reduce redundant information simultaneously with high storage efficiency and query efficiency. In detail, the mapping method uses an anonymous class storage strategy to handle indefinite long nested structures, a multivariate functional relation storage strategy for multivariate semantic analysis, and an SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) storage strategy for disassembling inference structures. We develop an ontology-to-graph database prototype Neo4J4Onto to implement the mapping method. Experimental results show that our method achieves the maximum semantic integrity with the lowest complexity compared to the 6 baseline methods. Besides, compared to graphDB, Neo4J4Onto has better storage and query efficiency, and the concept models retrieved by Neo4J4Onto are more complete.

Published: October 2023

Marine target situational awareness is developing towards intelligence. The practical application of marine law enforcement, route control, fishery supervision and other fields makes marine ship track mining and anomaly analysis a hot direction of technology development. At present, most of the research focuses on the feature recognition of single target or single target signal, while the research on correlation anomaly detection based on multi target or multi target signal is relatively less. In this paper, based on the large spatio-temporal data of ocean targets such as radar and AIS track, the corresponding recognition algorithm is designed for the abnormal transport behavior. The real-time batch detection of illegal transshipment is realized, which verifies the effectiveness of the algorithm and shows good performance in practical application scenarios.

Entre a emoção e o espetáculo: o karate esportivo brasileiro
Authors: Oliveira Marcelo Alberto de , Feijó Gabriel De Oliveira
Published: October 2023

O esporte moderno é um fenômeno social que possui raízes no século XIX na Europa. No Japão, durante a Era Meiji (1868-1912), o governo imperial implementou uma série de mudanças estruturais no país, culminando com a transformação de várias artes marciais tradicionais em esportes modernos em fins do século XIX e começo do XX. Dentro dessas novas modalidades podemos indicar o Karate esportivo, que possui seus primeiros indícios no interior das universidades japonesas a partir da década de 1930. No Brasil isso se deu com a chegada de mestres japoneses, os quais organizaram as primeiras competições em terras tupiniquins a partir da década de 1970. Objetivando fazer uma aproximação do esporte Karate com o fenômeno esportivo, este estudo busca investigar o Karate brasileiro através da lente esportiva, mediante ao modelo analítico proposto por Marchi Júnior, nomeado “Teoria dos 5 E’s”.
Retratos de uma sociedade japonesa moderna: o espaço interno e o espaço urbano nas obras Em louvor da sombra, de Tanizaki (1933) e Após o anoitecer, de Murakami (2004)
Authors: Gallieri Honorio Bianca
Published: October 2023

Em louvor das sombras, publicado originalmente em 1933 por Tanizaki (2007), é um ensaio que explora as tradições japonesas do período Shōwa e debate a inserção dos costumes ocidentais a partir da abertura do Japão ao ocidente na metade do século XIX. Por ter sido veiculado durante esse período, que se estende de 1926 até 1989, um momento de grandes variações culturais e sociais por sua longa duração, é retratada pela obra uma visão inaugural a respeito dessa ocidentalização, em um momento de intensificação da influência externa na cultura japonesa. Em Após o anoitecer, de Murakami (2009), publicada em 2004 durante o período Heisei, o cenário é um Japão décadas à frente no tempo, imerso em tecnologias e costumes ocidentalizado, amplificados pela presença das grandes multidões nos centros urbanos, um espaço amplo, constantemente atravessado pela luz intensa e pelo ruído constante. Com as diferenças entre o Japão representado em cada uma das duas obras, este artigo tem como intuito realizar uma análise do espaço na obra Após o anoitecer e compará-la com a percepção espacial expressa por Tanizaki a respeito do Japão de um século antes.
Charge no ensino de português para surdos: O humor levado a sério
Authors: Queiroz Anesio Marreiros , Lima Clevisvaldo Pinheiro
Published: October 2023

O reconhecimento da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) enquanto uma língua natural dos surdos, por força da Lei nº 10.436/2002, foi fundamental para uma mudança na realidade dos surdos no Brasil. O estabelecimento de um status de língua à Libras garantiu ao povo surdo, entre outros, o direito de ter a língua de sinais reconhecida como sua primeira língua (L1), sendo a língua portuguesa (LP), em sua modalidade escrita, sua segunda língua (L2). Isso posto, esta proposta baseia-se nos estudos de Quadros e Schmiedt (2006), Costa (2014), Alves (2020), e Brasil (2021), e tem como objetivo propor estratégias para o ensino de LP como L2 para surdos, a partir do gênero textual/discursivo charge, de modo que possibilitem novos olhares para a educação desse segmento nos anos finais do ensino fundamental (8º e 9º). Concebe-se que as estratégias sugeridas, que levam em consideração as relações estabelecidas pelos surdos em situações de contexto real e atentam para a manifestação linguística visuoespacial da língua de sinais, tornam a leitura dinâmica e favorecem uma percepção mais acurada da escrita como forma de interação nos diferentes campos de atuação da vida social, bem como ampliam as possibilidades de participação dos surdos à cultura letrada.
A metafunção composicional em campanhas com a hashtag #FICAEMCASA: Um estudo multimodal à luz da Gramática do Design Visual
Authors: Sampaio Klausney Muniz , Sousa Dulcimar Albuquerque de
Published: October 2023

Com o crescimento de usuários na internet e o desenvolvimento de softwares de edição de imagens, a multimodalidade tornou-se mais presente nas práticas comunicativas, de modo a possibilitar inúmeras construções de sentidos que cooperam para a reflexão de pautas importantes, como a pandemia da Covid-19. Neste estudo, analisamos quatro pôsteres de filmes reformulados no contexto da pandemia pelo publicitário Nelson Caldeira; os textos foram extraídos de sites sobre cinema e cultura pop. Para tanto, aplicamos as categorias analíticas da metafunção composicional da Gramática do Design Visual (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2006). Tal estudo, de natureza qualitativa e interpretativa, aponta para a relevância de textos socialmente construídos e readaptados de contexto ficcional para despertar o interesse e a dimensão afetiva do público-alvo e o seu engajamento em pautas de crise da vida real.
Discurso de ódio e estratégias linguisticamente abaixo do radar: a amplificação bolsonarista através dos públicos refratados
Authors: Hahn Graziela
Published: October 2023

Este artigo segue a concepção de que a linguagem é uma forma de ação e que, enquanto tal, faz parte de estratégias mais complexas de análise. Nesse sentido, discuto a ideia de como a linguagem, na forma de discurso de ódio, compõe parte fundamental das estratégias abaixo do radar dos públicos refratados - públicos que são contornados pelos usuários - atuando como estratégia bolsonarista de amplificação nas mídias digitais. Esboçando a maneira danosa e violenta de ataques linguísticos do corpo digital bolsonarista, analiso algumas formas simbólicas investidas contra Gabriela Prioli, por meio das quais uma série de outros efeitos têm origem. Analiso, sobretudo, dados disponíveis em meio público digital, publicados no perfil pessoal da apresentadora na plataforma da rede social Instagram. Abordo os modos pelos quais Prioli é diminuída, depreciada e violentada através da linguagem, revelando como essas práticas linguísticas, por se darem em um nexo on/off-line afetam profundamente os fluxos de informações em sociedades pós-digitais como a nossa. Essa discussão significa, no limite, que as dinâmicas em públicos refratados devem ser consideradas nos estudos de outros campos como uma questão de forma de violência que se dissemina algoritmicamente no meio digital e a partir da qual o influenciador controla o viés do ambiente. Para articular a proposta, ancoro a discussão em uma interface entre estudos antropológicos e linguísticos, partindo da definição de públicos em rede (BOYD, 2010), que é questão fundamental para entendermos como os públicos refratados (ABIDIN, 2021) aqui abordados funcionam através de diferentes usos linguísticos violentos (SILVA, 2010, 2020) que atuam em nosso contexto social pós-moderno (BLOMMAERT, 2020).

Authors: Quintanilla Andrea , Seijas César
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo describe el diseño e implementación por etapa, del circuito electrónico bio-amplificador del electrocardiograma, en adelante ECG. Al ser la representación gráfica de la actividad eléctrica del corazón, el ECG se interpreta bajo una señal de estructura picuda llamada complejo PQRST, que corresponde a la despolarización de los ventrículos del corazón. Para su desarrollo gráfico, se usó a modo de apoyo un diagrama de flujo donde describe cada etapa de diseño, su ganancia diferencial y sus simulaciones en respuesta en frecuencia, a un intervalo de 0,67 Hz a 200 Hz. En conjunto, se empleó la herramienta de recopilación de datos del “MIT-BIH: Arrhytmia Database” que consta de 48 valores por 30 minutos cada una, repartidos en una muestra de pacientes sanos según edad y género. El desarrollo computacional está bajo una serie de consideraciones y criterios de diseño, tanto en las lecturas como en la calidad de los componentes involucrados.

Authors: Tran Tuyet  Thi Minh
Published: October 2023

Cadres are the root of all work, and the quality of cadre work is a decisive factor in the success of the country's development strategy - this is the lesson learned from the practice not only of Vietnam but also of other countries. During the Doi Moi period, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) paid great attention to renovating and rectifying its cadre work. For many reasons, in addition to the achievements, the cadre work in Vietnam still has many limitations. The trend of democratization, the goal of the country's rapid and sustainable development, and the people's demands for the quality of the public administration system have brought new demands on cadres and cadre work. In this article, based on the analysis of the current situation of cadre work in the Doi Moi period, the author proposes a system of solutions to improve the quality of cadre work and thereby enhance the strength of the political system in Vietnam.

Phytochemical Constituents and Toxicity Analysis of Ethanolic Ketapang (Terminalia catappa L.) Leaf Extract
Authors: Madhavan Kierrthanah , Rukayadi Yaya , Mutalib Noor Azira Mutalib
Published: October 2023

Terminalia catappa L., which is also known as Indian almond, tropical almond, and ketapang, belongs to the family of Combretaceae and it forms layers of canopy, which provides shade to locals. The parts of the plant such as bark, fruit, leaf, rhizomes, and roots have been traditionally used in folk medicines for several treatment purposes, demonstrating its numerous biological activities. The current study evaluated phytochemical constituents in its leaf responsible for its biology activities and toxicity analysis by brine shrimp lethality test for ethanolic leaf extract of T. catappa L. (EKLE) to set a safe limit for future applications in studies. Phytochemical compounds such as squalene, phytol, DL-α-tocopherol, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, α-amyrin, and β-amyrin were identified in EKLE through GC-MS analysis, which is believed to contribute to its biology activities such as antibacterial. This is the first time to report β-sitosterol in the leaf of T. catappa L., though previous studies have reported in the bark of the tree and other parts of its genus. This is the first time to identify β-amyrin in this tree. The LC50 value in the brine shrimp assay was above 100 µg/mL, suggesting the extract is biologically safe and non-toxic for humans. However, the application of the extract shall not be more than 11.61 mg/mL.
A fragment of an Ancient Egyptian architrave in an old Japanese catalogue
Authors: Bogdanov Ivan V.
Published: October 2023

The article contains the publication of a fragment of an architrave from the Yamanaka (Osaka) catalogue of 1924. According to a number of criteria, it is attributed to the right part of the architrave of Mereru (mrrw) from the State Hermitage collection. Judging by the inscription, the architrave could come from Zawiyet el-Mayetin, although the location of the tomb of Mereru at Saqqara is just as probable. All the titles of Mereru are found both on the monuments of the Memphite region and in the province; they characterize his status as an official above the average rank. On the Yamanaka fragment, one official title has been preserved: zS a-nswt pr-aA Palace scribe of the royal chancellery. The current location of the Yamanaka fragment is unknown.
Two Traditions in the Madhyamaka-Prāsaṅgika School: Buddhapālita and Candrakīrti
Authors: Burmistrov Sergei L.
Published: October 2023

There are two schools in the Mahāyāna Buddhist school of Madhyamaka, namely Prāsaṅgika, the more radical one, according to which absolutely all propositions and theories are empty, for every concept in them refers only to other concepts but not to the extraconceptual reality, and Svātantrika that allows the existence of propositions sensible on the level of relative reality. But in Prāsaṅgika itself there were two traditions that differed not in the principles of philosophy but in the character of commenting the basic Madhyamaka text, Root stanzas on the Middle Way by Nāgārjuna. These traditions were represented in the commentaries by Buddhapālita (the 5th6th centuries) and Candrakīrti (the 7th century). Candrakīrtis commentary is based on Nāgārjunas autocommentary Akutobhaya to a much greater extent than Buddhapālitas one. The latter presents a tradition of commenting Mūla-madhyamaka-kārikā that originates not from Nāgārjuna himself but from a disciple of his.
