The aim of this cross-sectional study is to propose an efficient strategy based on biomarkers adjunct with an interview/questionnaire covering risk factors for periodontitis for the identification of undiagnosed periodontitis by medical professionals. Active matrix metalloproteinase (aMMP)-8 levels in mouthrinse were analyzed by a point-of-care (PoC)/chairside lateral-flow immunotest, and salivary total MMP-8, total MMP-9 and calprotectin levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and active MMP-9 by gelatin zymography for 149 Greek patients. Patients underwent a full-mouth oral health examination for diagnosis according to the 2018 classification system of periodontal diseases. In addition, patient characteristics (risk factors: age, gender, education level, smoking and body mass index) were recorded. Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis indicated better diagnostic precision to identify undiagnosed periodontitis for oral fluid biomarkers in adjunct with an interview/questionnaire compared with a plain questionnaire (i.e., risk factors): aMMP-8 AUC (95% confidence interval) = 0.834 (0.761−0.906), total MMP-8 = 0.800 (0.722–0.878), active MMP-9 = 0.787 (0.704–0.870), total MMP-9 = 0.773 (0.687−0.858) and calprotectin = 0.773 (0.687–0.858) vs. questionnaire = 0.764 (0.676–0.851). The findings of this study suggest that oral fluid biomarker analysis, such as a rapid aMMP-8 PoC immunotest, could be used as an adjunct to an interview/questionnaire to improve the precision of timely identification of asymptomatic, undiagnosed periodontitis patients by medical professionals. This strategy appears to be viable for referring patients to a dentist for diagnosis and treatment need assessment.

Published: April 2021

Due to climate change sorghum might gain widespread in the Western countries, as the grain is adapted to hot climate. Additionally sorghum contains a notable amount of health-promoting nutrients. However, Western countries do not have a long history of sorghum consumption, and thus little experience in processing it. Milling systems in these areas were mostly developed for wheat or rye milling. In the present work, the effectiveness of sorghum milling when using a stone and a roller milling system (pilot scale) was investigated as well as its impact on the chemical and physical properties of the obtained flour fractions and whole-grain flours. Results showed that both milling systems could be successfully adapted to producing chemically and physically distinct flour and bran fractions from the small sorghum kernels. Fractions with increased bran material that contained higher amounts of ash, protein, fat, total dietary fiber, and total phenolic content but less starch, showed enhanced water absorption indices and water solubility indices. Interestingly, no significant difference was found in the ash and fat content of the different fractions obtained from stone milling. Overall, the study provided information on the production and composition of distinct flour fractions, which offer a wider range of future food applications.

Published: April 2021

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is considered an aerosol-generating procedure. Consequently, COVID-19 resuscitation guidelines recommend the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during resuscitation. In this simulation of randomised crossover trials, we investigated the influence of PPE on the quality of chest compressions (CCs). Thirty-four emergency medical service BLS-providers performed two 20 min CPR sequences (five 2 min cycles alternated by 2 min of rest) on manikins, once with and once without PPE, in a randomised order. The PPE was composed of a filtering facepiece 3 FFP3 mask, safety glasses, gloves and a long-sleeved gown. The primary outcome was defined as the difference between compression depth with and without PPE; secondary outcomes were defined as differences in CC rate, release and the number of effective CCs. The participants graded fatigue and performance, while generalised estimating equations (GEE) were used to analyse data. There was no significant difference in CC quality between sequences without and with PPE regarding depth (mean depth 54 ± 5 vs. 54 ± 6 mm respectively), rate (mean rate 119 ± 9 and 118 ± 6 compressions per minute), release (mean release 2 ± 2 vs. 2 ± 2 mm) and the number of effective CCs (43 ± 18 vs. 45 ± 17). The participants appraised higher fatigue when equipped with PPE in comparison to when equipped without PPE (p < 0.001), and lower performance was appraised when equipped with PPE in comparison to when equipped without PPE (p = 0.031). There is no negative effect of wearing PPE on the quality of CCs during CPR in comparison to not wearing PPE.

Published: April 2021

The objectives of this study were to assess the association between marital satisfaction and specific and all-cause mortality, and to examine whether this association is independent of other known risk factors for early mortality. In this prospective cohort, male Israeli civil servants and municipal employees (n = 8945) underwent an extensive appraisal of health and behavioral patterns and were followed for more than three decades. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to estimate the relative risks for stroke and all-cause mortality over time across marital satisfaction categories. During the 32 years of follow-up, 5736 (64.1%) died. Dissatisfaction with married life was related to increased long-term risk of stroke (HR = 1.94; 95%CI, 1.41–2.90) and all-cause mortality (HR = 1.21; 95%CI, 1.04–1.41). The latter association was of a similar order of magnitude to other known risk factors for early mortality, such as people with a history of smoking (HR = 1.37; 95%CI, 1.30–1.48) compared to people who have never smoked and for physically inactive participants (HR = 1.21; 95%CI, 1.14–1.37) compared to physically active participants. The results of our study suggest that marital dissatisfaction may predict an elevated risk of all-cause mortality. Assessing marital satisfaction and measuring the health benefits of marital education programs for couples should be implemented as part of health promotion strategies for the general population.

Background: The incidence of cholecystectomy is increasing as the result of the aging worldwide. Our aim was to determine the influence of heart failure on in-hospital outcomes in patients undergoing cholecystectomy in the Spanish National Health System (SNHS). Methods: We conducted a retrospective study using the Spanish National Hospital Discharge Database. Patients older than 17 years undergoing cholecystectomy in the period 2007–2015 were included. Demographic and administrative variables related to patients’ diseases as well as procedures were collected. Results: 478,111 episodes of cholecystectomy were identified according to the data from SNHS hospitals in the period evaluated. From all the episodes, 3357 (0.7%) were excluded, as the result the sample was represented by 474,754 episodes. Mean age was 58.3 (+16.5) years, and 287,734 (60.5%) were women (p < 0.001). A primary or secondary diagnosis of HF was identified in 4244 (0.89%) (p < 0.001) and mean age was 76.5 (+9.6) years. A higher incidence of all main complications studied was observed in the HF group (p < 0.001), except stroke (p = 0.753). Unadjusted in-hospital mortality was 1.1%, 12.9% in the group with HF versus 1% in the non HF group (p < 0.001). Average length of hospital stay was 5.4 (+8.9) days, and was higher in patients with HF (16.2 + 17.7 vs. 5.3 + 8.8; p < 0.001). Risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality models’ discrimination was high in both cases, with AUROC values = 0.963 (0.960–0.965) in the APRG-DRG model and AUROC = 0.965 (0.962–0.968) in the CMS adapted model. Median odds ratio (MOR) was high (1.538 and 1.533, respectively), stating an important variability of risk-adjusted outcomes among hospitals. Conclusions: The presence of HF during admission increases in hospital mortality and lengthens the hospital stay in patients undergoing cholecystectomy. However, mortality and hospital stay have significantly decreased during the study period in both groups (HF and non HF patients).
Behind the Curtain of the Border Spectacle: Introducing ‘Illegal’ Movement and Racialized Profiling in the West African Region
Authors: Carlotti Sebastian
Published: April 2021

The introduction of ‘illegal’ migration in West African countries represented a major conceptual policy shift for societies that were historically characterized by intra-regional free movement. However, this transformation went along with severe allegations of racialized profiling of undocumented migrants in many West African societies. De Genova’s concept of the ‘border spectacle’ describes how the presumed ‘illegality’ of migrants is made spectacularly visible in Europe, thus producing a criminalized and racialized portrayal of migrants. Nonetheless, this work argues that today’s illegalization through a racialized representation of migrants has been extended beyond Europe’s boundaries and behind the spectacle’s curtain towards countries of migration origin. Drawing on the cases of Mauritania and Mali, this paper considers their fundamentally opposite reaction to the introduction of ‘irregular’ movement and illustrates the inherent problematics of transferring the figure of a racialized migrant into the West African region. Particularly successful in countries with a history of ethnic conflicts, this process essentially externalized European border practices of racialized profiling. On the contrary, this analysis concludes that the presence of established patterns of regional movement and cross-border habits made it undesirable to either introduce the policy concept of ‘illegal’ migration or to adopt its potentially racialized portrayal.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease and one of the most economically important diseases of livestock. Vaccination is an important measure to control FMD and selection of appropriate vaccine strains is crucial. The objective of this study was to select a vaccine candidate and to evaluate the potential of a blocking ELISA for detecting neutralizing antibodies (NA-ELISA) in vaccine strain selection. Binary ethylenimine inactivated vaccines, prepared from four representative circulating strains (FMDV O/Mya/98, SCGH/CHA/2016, O/Tibet/99, and O/XJ/CHA/2017) belonging to four lineages within three different topotypes of FMD virus (FMDV) serotype O in China, were used to vaccinate cattle (12–13 animals for each strain), sheep (12–13 animals for each strain), and pigs (10 animals for each strain). The results of immunogenicity comparison showed that O/XJ/CHA/2017 exhibited the highest immunogenicity among the four strains in pigs, cattle, and sheep both by NA-ELISA and virus neutralizing test (VNT). Cross-neutralization analysis indicated that O/XJ/CHA/2017 displayed broad antigen spectrum and was antigenically matched with other three representative strains both by NA-ELISA and VNT. In addition, A significant correlation (p < 0.0001) was observed between the NA-ELISA titers and the VNT titers for four representative strains. The results showed that O/XJ/CHA/2017 was a promising vaccine strain candidate and NA-ELISA was comparable to VNT in neutralizing antibodies detection and could be used as the reference test system for vaccine strain selection.

The Laws of Xenakis's Music Not Formulated by Xenakis Himself
Authors: Акопян Левон Оганесович
Published: April 2021

Вокруг творчества Янниса Ксенакиса (1922-2001) сложилась богатая литература, тон которой задал сам композитор своим трактатом «Формализованная музыка», изобилующим математическими формулами и схемами, непонятными для большинства гуманитариев. Между тем чрезмерная опора на то, что писал о своей музыке сам Ксенакис, не всегда помогает в должной мере оценить некоторые немаловажные атрибуты его стиля. Принимая близкую Ксенакису точку зрения на композиторское «изделие» как на эмпирически наблюдаемый феномен с особым набором дифференциальных признаков, уникальным образом распределенных во времени и пространстве, мы приходим к следующему выводу: какие бы научные идеи и представления ни привлекались композитором для разъяснения своих концепций, глубинная структура его музыки, как правило, восходит к триаде универсальных законов, описывающих соотношения между параметрами массовых явлений. Эта триада изоморфна трем физическим законам, описывающим поведение фиксированной массы идеального газа, и музыкальный язык Ксенакиса приспособлен для того, чтобы следовать им достаточно строго.

The oeuvre of Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001) gave rise to a wealth of scholarly literature, the tone of which was set by Xenakis himself in his treatise Formalized Music, abounding in mathematical formulas and schemes that are incomprehensible for the absolute majority of scholars in the humanities. However, over-reliance on Xenakis's own comments on his music is not necessarily conductive to a better understanding of some important attributes of his style. Adopting Xenakis's perspective on a piece of musical composition as an empirically observable phenomenon with a special set of differentiae uniquely distributed in time and space, we come to the following conclusion: irrespective of which scientific ideas and notions were involved by Xenakis to explicate his concepts, the deep structure of his music, as a rule, is based on the triad of universal rules describing the relations between the parameters of mass events. The triad in question is isomorphous with the three physical laws describing the behaviour of a fixed mass of ideal gas, and Xenakis's musical idiom is adapted to follow these laws quite strictly.

Para que un Vehículo Aéreo no Tripulado (VANT) pueda navegar con una autonomía total se requieren muchos sensores y una alta capacidad de procesamiento. Los VANT con mayor autonomía hoy en día, cuentan con sensores como cámaras estereoscópicas, láser, sensores ultrasónicos, entre otros. Además, es necesario que el VANT cuente con una tarjeta capaz de procesar cada uno de los datos recibidos por los sensores. La desventaja de que haya muchos sensores integrados en un VANT es que incrementan su costo, lo hacen más pesado, consumen mayor energía y reducen el tiempo de vuelo. En este artículo se presenta el diseño e implementación de un algoritmo que permite a un VANT navegar en línea recta de forma autónoma sobre pasillos de adoquín gris libres de obstáculos, utilizando únicamente la cámara integrada. Al VANT se le adaptó un smartphone el cual se encarga de realizar el procesamiento digital de imágenes. Para evaluar el adecuado funcionamiento del VANT se realizaron pruebas sobre pasillos de la Universidad.

Education can affect economic growth and wellbeing through different channels like by increasing the efficiency of the workforce, reducing inequality, and increasing the knowledge and the innovative capacity of an economy. The key objective of the present research is to explore the impact of public education expenditures on economic wellbeing in developing economies. The present study explored the impact of public education expenditures on economic wellbeing by using panel dataset of 21 developing economies over the period of 1980-2014. Household Final Consumption Expenditure Per Capita was used as a proxy to measure economic wellbeing. The panel estimation technique of Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) was used for the analysis. Research findings revealed that there was a positive and significant relationship between education expenditure and economic wellbeing. Economic wellbeing of the society was directly linked with more priority to educational expenditures in public budget. Hence, developing economies should enhance their public spending on education.

Published: April 2021

Given concerns about the spiralling cost of health services in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), this study draws on a framework for assessing poverty and access to health services to ascertain progress towards achieving vertical equity in the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in a rural setting in northern Ghana. Rural-urban disparities in financial access to NHIS services are seldom explored in equity-related studies although there is a knowledge gap of progress and challenges of implementing the scheme’s vertical equity objectives to inform social health protection planning and implementation. A qualitative approach was used to collect and analyse the data. Specifically, in-depth interviews and observation were deployed to explore participants’ lived experiences, the relationship between location, livelihoods and ability to pay for health insurance services. The article found that flat rate contributions for populations in the informal sector of the economy and lack of flexibility and adaptability of timing premium collections to the needs of rural residents make the cost of membership disproportionately higher for them, and this situation contradicts the vertical equity objectives of the NHIS. The study concludes that the current payment regimes serve as important deterrence to poor rural residents enrolling in the scheme. Based on this, we advocate strict adherence and implementation of the scheme’s vertical equity measures through the adoption of the Ghana National Household Register (GNHR) as a tool for ensuring that contributions are based on income, and collection is well-timed
КОММУНИКАТИВНАЯ ТИПОЛОГИЯ ЛИРИЧЕСКИХ СТИХОТВОРЕНИЙ ВЛ. ХОДАСЕВИЧА
Authors: Ottovna Valentina
Published: April 2021

Проблеме изучения коммуникативной структуры лирических стихотворений различных поэтов до настоящего времени уделялось недостаточно внимания. А между тем исследование этого явления способствует выявлению индивидуальной поэтики того или иного автора. Статья посвящена исследованию коммуникативной структуры лирических стихотворений Вл. Ходасевича, выявлению различных типов субъектов в его поэзии. Автор статьи доказывает, что в лирике поэта преобладает чистый «Я»-субъект, отражающий черты его внутреннего мира. Эта форма перволичностного повествования воплощена с помощью специального набора языковых средств (глаголов 1и 2 лица настоящего, будущего времени и 2 лица повелительного наклонения, личных и притяжательных местоимений, обращений, вопросов). Второе место по употребительности имеют у данного поэта стихи с имплицитным «Я»-субъектом, воплощенным в третьеличностном повествовании, переходящим иногда в перволичностное. Особое место в лирике Вл. Ходасевича занимают стихи, в которых представлено явление автоадресации, сопровождающееся «расщеплением» чистого «Я»-субъекта на «Я» физическое и духовное, «Я» разных временных срезов. Исследователь отмечает, что в этих стихах наблюдается «расщепление» не только адресата, но и нададресата, что способствует формированию эмоционального соучастия читателя. Чрезвычайно интересны рассмотренные в статье примеры стихов, в которых, вследствие смены «Я»-субъектов (ролевой и позиционный «Я» субъекты; чистый и имплицитный «Я»-субъекты), а также при включении в стих прямой речи различных героев, обращенной к разным адресатам, возникает не только субъектное, но и адресатное многоголосие.

Authors: V S Pal , P Rastogi , D Prajapati , R Lohokare
Published: April 2021

Background: Suicidal behaviour is frequently seen in context of depression. Few studies have demonstrated
sociodemographic distinction between depression with and without suicidal behaviour. This study compares various
psycho-socio-demographic factors associated with depression in context of suicidal behaviour.
Materials And Methods: 60 depression patients with suicidal behaviour and 60 depression patients without suicidal behaviour were compared
using a specially designed intake proforma, ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for research,Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-17 (HAMD-17).
Results: Depression with suicidal behaviour had more females, married, Hindu, literate, low socioeconomic status, urban locality, nuclear family
samples, with earlier age of onset of illness. The total HAM-D scores were signicantly higher in the depression with suicidal behaviour group.
Conclusions: Sociodemographic parameters are intricated crucially with suicidality.The present study identies female gender, nuclear family,
urban background, unemployment and literacy to be an independent risk factor for suicidality. Suicidal behaviour increases with amount of time
spent in depressive illness. Hence socio-demographic factors can be helpful as indicators of suicidal behaviour with depression.
TRANSLATION INTO BENGALI AND VALIDATION OF THE CERVIX CANCER SPECIFIC EORTC CX24 QUALITY OF LIFE QUESTIONNAIRE.
Authors: Basu Abhishek
Published: April 2021

Introduction: Cervical Cancer is the second most common cancer among women in India. Assessment of Quality of Life
(QoL) of these patients is vitally important. The EORTC QLQ C30 core domain for all cancers and the Cervix Cancer
specic CX24 domains are amongst the most common instruments available for assessment of QoL. However, as these are developed in English,
and the QoL instruments need to be self answered, there is an unmet need to have vernacular (regional) language versions. We thus aimed to
translate the EORTC CX24 into Bengali.
Materials And Methods: After necessary permissions, the CX24 English questionnaire was rst forward translated into an intermediary
Bengali version, which was then back translated into English and this was compared to the original English version. The Bengali version was
then pilot tested and modications incorporated to arrive at the nal Bengali translation.
Results: A total of four ladies whose mother tongue was Bengali but who were uent in English translated the questionnaire – two each for the
Forward and Back translations. Discrepancies in the translation process were mainly linguistic and were solved by mutual discussion to arrive at
a culturally adapted socially acceptable literatim translation. Pilot testing was done on 15 women with breast cancer. The entire process was
explicitly documented and took about nine weeks.
Conclusion: The Bengali translation of the EORTC CX24 domain was done as per stipulated rules and ratied by the EORTC. It is available for
download, free of cost, from the EORTC QoL website for academic researchers across the globe. It will be of immense help to assess the QoL of
Bengali speaking cervical cancer patients and formulate better care for them.
DETERMINATION OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS, PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS OF TAEKWONDO ATHLETES
Authors: Srivastava Preeti , Padma V.
Published: April 2021

Taekwondo (TKD) is a Korean combat sport, recognised by Olympics, involving the combination of kick movements
which include power, speed, agility, muscular strength and endurance. Nutrition is an important determinant of physical
tness of athletes. Cross sectional study was undertaken to investigate the nutritional status along with tness parameters of the 150 TKD players
of 8-24 years age through purposive random sampling in training centres of Kolkata. Pre-tested questionnaire was used to elicit information on
training pattern, physical, physiological, performance parameters and nutritional status. Mean Vo2max uptake in males ranged between
22.0±2.0-34.±1.8ml/kg/min in 8-24 year athletes whereas in female it was reported 22.3±1.7-32.5±1.9ml/kg/min indicating as low in majority of
the athletes. Average performance was observed among the athletes on assessing physical tness components. Adequate consumption of cereals,
pulses, milk and vegetables were reported however low consumption was noted in green leafy vegetables, fruits and nuts. Nutritional inadequacy
of protein, iron and calcium as indicated through 24 hour diet recall was found signicant difference at 0.05 level. Therefore, guidance in nutrition
is required to make prudent dietary choices that will improve the body composition, thereby increasing sport performance.
A Functionally Separate Autoencoder
Authors: Wei Jinxin
Published: April 2021

According to kids’ learning process, an auto-encoder which can be split into two parts is designed. The two parts can work well separately. The top half is an abstract network which is trained by supervised learning and can be used to classify and regress. The bottom half is a concrete network which is accomplished by inverse function and trained by self-supervised learning. It can generate the input of abstract network from concept or label. The network can achieve its intended functionality through testing by mnist dataset and convolution neural network. Round function is added between the abstract network and concrete network in order to get the representative generation of class. The generation ability can be increased by adding jump connection and negative feedback. At last, the characteristics of the network is discussed. The input can be changed to any form by encoder and then change it back by decoder through inverse function. The concrete network can be seen as the memory stored by the parameters. Lethe is that when new knowledge input, the training process makes the parameters change. At last, the application of the network is discussed. The network can be used for logic generation through deep reinforcement learning. The network can also be used for language translation, zip and unzip, encryption and decryption, compile and decompile, modulation and demodulation.
Multi-attribute Recognition,the key to Universal Neural Network
Authors: Wei Jinxin
Published: April 2021

To achieve the recognition of multi-attribute of object, I redesign the mnist dataset, change the color, size, location of the number. Meanwhile, I change the label accordingly. The deep neural network I use is the most common convolution neural network. Through test, we can conclude that we can use one neural network to recognize multi-attribute so long as the attribute difference of objects can be represented by functions. The Concrete network (generation network) can generate the output which the input rarely contained from the attributes the network learned. Its generalization ability is good because the network is a continuous function. Through one more test, we can conclude that one neural network can do image recognition, speech recognition, nature language processing and other things so long as the output node and the input node and more parameters add into the network. The network is universal so long as the network can process different inputs. By proof, fully connected network can do what convolution neural network and recurrent neural network do, so fully connected network is the universal network. The phenomenon of synesthesia is the result of multi-input and multi-output. Connection in mind can realize through the universal network and sending the output into input. Connection in mind is the key of creativity, synesthesia is the assistant.
microFE-BCI: An Asynchronous Practical EEG-based Control Paradigm Assisted by Micro-facial-expressions
Authors: Lu Zhufeng
Published: April 2021

In this work, an EEG-based control
paradigm assisted by micro-facial-expressions (microFE-BCI) was developed, focusing
on the mainstream defect as the insufficiency of real-time capability,
asynchronous logic, and robustness. The core algorithm in microFE-BCI contained
two stages (asynchronous ‘ON’
detection & microFE-BCI
based real-time control) with four steps
(obvious non-microFE-EEGs exclusion,
interface ‘ON’ detection,
microFE-EEGs real-time decoding,
and validity judgment).
It provided the asynchrounous function, decoded 8 instructions from the latest
100 ms EEGs, and greatly reduced the frequent misoperation. In the offline
assessment, microFE-BCI achieved 96.46%±1.07 accuracy for interface
‘ON' detection and 92.68%±1.21
for microFE-EEGs real-time decoding,
with the theoretical output timespan less than 200 ms. This microFE-BCI was
implemented into a software, and applied to two online manipulations for
evaluating the stability and agility. In object-moving
with a robotic arm, the averaged IoU
was 60.03±11.53%. In water-pouring with
a prosthetic Hand, the averaged
water volume was 202.5±7.0 ml. During online, microFE-BCI performed no
significant difference (P = 0.6521 & P = 0.7931) with commercial control
methods (i.e., FlexPendant and Joystick), indicating a similar level of
controllability and agility. This study demonstrated the capability of
microFE-BCI, enabling a novel solution to the noninvasive BCIs in real-world
challenges.

Archaeological Traces of Rural Coin Counterfeiting in Tolna County in the 16th–17th Centuries
Authors: Varga Máté , K. Németh András
Published: April 2021

“Hidden in dark forests, shifty characters with shady pasts were producing caps full of coins or Polish groschen from base metal in peasant cottages” (Komáromy 1893, 648). It is as if András Komáromy in his 1893 story for the journal Századok was describing the archaeological finds from Tolna County we will present below. The scene he portrays was of the difficult times following the Battle of Mohács, when even poor people tried their hand at the forbidden activity of counterfeiting. We can learn of the efforts of noblemen at counterfeiting from the work of Komáromy through the confession of a man (master Nicholas) accused of this activity. One of the most interesting parts of the science of numismatics is counterfeiting, because it is only a slight exaggeration that there have been fakes ever since the birth of money. Despite the distinctive nature of the topic, little is known of it even today. Knowledge is particularly scanty about so-called rural counterfeiting workshops, with few written sources – in contrast to those on counterfeiting by noblemen. In our paper we would like to provide some useful archaeological data primarily through surveys with metal detectors and field walks on a relatively small but intensively studied topic of the Ottoman Period.
