Published: November 2024

The Municipality of Cazin is situated in the North-West part of B&H more precisely in Canton Una-Sana. It occupies an area of 381 km2 and is positioned 317 m above the sea level. In the Municipality of Cazin we analyzed data obtained from 20 small family farms in May 2001. We chose farms by random sampling, so we used visual inspection, some measurements and inquiry about cattle breeds structure, age, productivity etc. at every farm. Finally, we analyzed the data and information obtained. In this paper, we present results on cattle categories and breed structure. We also give the most important information about housing and productivity of dairy cows in this municipality. Based on our investigation and results of the questionnaire, we can conclude that breed structure of cattle as well as housing and productivity of cows are satisfying taking into consideration the average of these parameters in Bosnia and Herzegovina today.

Published: November 2024

The paper presents the conditions for the joined development of agriculture and tourism in the “Obsoteljsko-Kozjansko” region. Natural beauty and peace of the countryside, as well as already known health resorts in the region offer all the possibilities for further development of tourism. Special projects in agricultural development, mainly in quality meat production under the strict rules of quality trade marks aim to produce more healthy meat in the future. About 80 farmers are joined in the project “FRANCIJEVE KMETIJE”. It shows how joined development of agriculture, mainly quality beef production on small farms, and tourism could be achieved and at the same time keep the countryside cultivated and well preserved.
Seasonal impacts on lactation curve course in dairy cows
Authors: OREŠNIK Andrej , LOGAR Alojz
Published: November 2024

Data utilised in this study were obtained from a herd on a large dairy farm (428 Black and White cows) collected by official AP control. Average milk yield of cows in 1997 was 6 382 kg of milk with 3.82 % of fat and 3.35 % of protein in standard lactation. Feeding strategy on the farm was similar to circumstances on many other farms in Slovenia: pasture, maize silage, hay, mineral-vitamin mixture and adequate feeding of concentrates in grazing period and grass silage, maize silage, hay and adequate feeding of mineral-vitamin mixture and concentrates in housing period (open free stall bedded with straw). There existed significant differences in milk yield of cows that calved in different seasons or months of the year. The average lactation curve course indicated a very small rise in milk yield in the first period of lactation and later on a satisfactory milk persistency. Between seasons existed differences in lactation curve course, where a decline in milk yield in the fourth month after calving in autumn calving cows was significant and clearly worsened milk persistency in all cows in summer months. Cows that calved in March and September attained the same milk yield in standard lactation (6 345 kg and 6 371 kg) with quite different lactation curve course. Out of the results it can be concluded that differences in milk yield due to seasonal impacts can be explained by differences in lactation curve course. It is likely that factors other than only temperature (nutrition) have to be involved in interpretations of estimated seasonal effects on milk production.
Alternative feeding practices for livestock in confinement and on pasture
Authors: PROVENZA Frederick D. , ROGOŠIĆ Jozo , PFISTER James A.
Published: November 2024

We discuss why herbivores eat a variety of foods and why diets that enable animals to select among alternative foods may enable individuals to better meet nutritional needs in confinement and on pastures. We suggest that: (1) animals can more efficiently meet their individual needs for macronutrients when offered a choice among dietary ingredients than when constrained to a single diet, even if it is nutritionally balanced; (2) transient food aversions compound the inefficiency of a single mixed diet by depressing intake even among animals suited to that nutritional profile; and (3) alternative feeding practices may allow producers to efficiently capitalize on the agency of animals, thus reducing illness and improving performance.
Effect of sex and successive calving on growth rate of Charolais and Limousin calves from birth to weaning
Authors: ČEPON Marko , ŽGUR Silvester
Published: November 2024

Birth masses and daily gains until weaning at the end of pasture in Charolais (115) and Limousin (38) calves born from 1996 to 2000 at Educational and Research Centre Logatec were analysed. Year, breed (B), sex (S) and successive calving of suckler cows significantly influenced birth mass of calves. The difference in birth mass between sexes was higher in Limousin calves (4.3 kg) than in Charolais (1.3 kg). P-value for interaction S*B was 0.081. Daily gains in some periods of growth from birth to the end of pasture were influenced by year, breed and sex of calves as well as by age at the beginning of pasture, which was used to estimate the time of calving. The effect of successive calving on estimated daily gains in calves was less pronounced.
Future aspects of porcine carcass and meat quality
Authors: KALLWEIT Erhard , KÖHLER Peter , HENNING Martina
Published: November 2024

In future production, swine carcasses should not only be lean but also homogeneous in weight and shape. Extreme conformation should be avoided. Classification systems will have to be non invasive, objective, evaluate proportions and also composition of whole sale cuts. Porcine meat quality is genetically determined by two major factors. Stress susceptibility (MHS) and the “Hampshire – factor” (RN) can nowadays easily be detected and eradicated in selection programs. MHS homozygous negative genotypes are essential for a high standard in meat quality. Even though intramuscular fat contents are negatively correlated with leanness the relation is not that close that both of them could not be combined at a reasonable level in one population in particularly if crossbreeding is applied. It is most likely that in near future the market and the consumer will require such actions. Transparency of the entire production line is one of the further essential demands in meat quality assurance.
More on the relation between meat percentage and meat quality traits in swine carcasses
Authors: KRALIK Gordana , PETRIČEVIĆ Antun , ŠKRTIĆ Zoran , KUŠEC Goran
Published: November 2024

This study involved 302 swine carcasses, dissected in the aim of their classification into (S)EUROP classes on the basis of relative share of muscle tissue. Following measures have been taken on the primarily processed swine carcasses: length, ham index, muscle and fat areas of m. longissimus dorsi, fat to meat ratio. The meat quality traits measured were: pH1, pH2, water holding capacity (w.h.c.) and colour. The differences in carcass quality indicators between pigs from different classes were statistically significant in the most of the cases (P < 0.05) and highly significant (P < 0.01). The analysis of meat quality traits showed that the meat had mostly normal characteristics, although it was also observed that swine carcasses from lower meat yield had more favourable quality traits than the carcasses with higher meat yield.

Published: November 2024

Four hundred of primarily processed carcasses of pigs with different genetic background and production conditions were included in this study. The average carcass mass was 80.43 kg (from 78.29 kg in class S to 88.34 kg in class O). The average lean meat percentage in carcasses was 54.31 %. According to classification (Pravilnik o utvrđivanju..., 1999) in S class were classified 10.25 %, 37.50 % in class E, 32.50 % in class U, 16.75 % in class R, 3.00 % in class O, while in class P there were no carcasses classified, which presents a satisfactory structure. By the dissection of the carcasses according to Weniger et al. (1963) into the main parts (ham, loin, belly-rib part, shoulder, neck) the shares of these parts became obvious. The differences in percentages of the main parts within classes were in favour of the higher classes, but statistically significant differences were established only in the case of ham (P < 0.01) belly-rib part (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05) and shoulder (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05). The percentages of lean meat in individual main parts, according to classification, were different in the most of the cases at the level of P < 0.01 and always in the favour of higher classes (S, E and U). Fat was almost always in negative proportion to the degree of meatiness. The percentages of bones showed relatively small differences between classes regarding the individual parts (P < 0.05) as well as the carcasses where differences were established at the levels of P < 0.01 and P < 0.05. In addition to presented results, the procedure for price determination according to lean meat percentage, i.e. classes were proposed.
Rearing heavier pigs for the purposes of “Prekmurska šunka” production – comparison of three pig genotypes
Authors: ABRAHAM PANIČ Zorica , SEVER Sašo , JERIČ Damjan , ČANDEK POTOKAR Marjeta
Published: November 2024

The present study aimed to evaluate three crossbreeds for the production of traditional dry ham “Prekmurska šunka”. Subjects were 48 pigs; 15 pigs were offspring of Landrace (LAN11) male and Large white (LW) female, 16 pigs were offspring of meat-type Landrace male (LAN55) and LAN11 ´ LW female, 17 pigs were offspring of PI(Pietrain) ´ LAN55 male and LAN11 ´ LW female. At start pigs had 27.5 kg and 128.0 kg at the end of experiment. Pigs were group-housed, fed ad libitum until 100 kg and with restriction until slaughter. Mass of pigs was monitored three times; at app. 60 kg (diet 1), 100 kg (diet 2) and 130 kg (diet 3). After slaughter, carcass and meat quality were evaluated. lw ´ lan11 pigs had faster growth rate than LAN55 crosses (705; 662 g day–1 respectively), whereas PI ´ LAN55 crosses were intermediate (688 g day–1). Carcass mass and lean meat percentage were similar in all crossbreeds, however some carcass traits were affected by crossbreed. Ham fat thickness was lower in lw ´ lan11 pigs than in LAN55 or pi ´ lan55 crossed pigs (18.8; 21.0; 21.6 mm, respectively). Heavier hams were observed in LAN55 or pi ´ lan55 crosses as in lw ´ lan11 pigs (14.6; 14.4; 14.1 kg respectively). No crossbreed effect was found in meat quality. Adequate raw material quality for “Prekmurska šunka” can be obtained with existing crossbreeds when fattening to 130 kg. The economics of such prolonged fattening comparing to usual practice can only be profitable, if heavier pigs are sold at higher prices.

Authors: MOJTO Jozef , ZAUJEC Kvetoslav , HETÉNYI Ladislav
Published: November 2024

The quality of carcass (EUROP) and meat in slaughter bulls of the decisive breeds of cattle bred in the Slovak Republic: Slovak Pied (S), Slovak Pinzgau (SP), Holstein (H) are evaluated in this work. The conformation and fatness of their carcasses, basic chemical composition and technological and consumer quality are compared. Attention is paid also to the degree of marbling in meat and to the content of intramuscular fat. The results pointed out certain benefits of the dual-purpose breeds (S and SP) compared with the milk H breed. Classes U and R are characteristics of S breed (there are totally 84.09 % animals in them), R class (66.67 %) is characteristic of SP breed, and R and O classes are characterisitcs of H breed (81.8 %). There were found no significant differences between the breeds in the studied parameters of meat quality except for connective proteins with the highest value (0.46 g 100 g–1) in S breed. The social stabilization of animals before slaughter prevented the reduction of muscle glycogen and DFD meat occurrence. The changes of intramuscular fat with respect to the degrees of marbling were linear. Only about 30 % of animals met the recommended span of intramuscular fat content between 2.5–4.5 g 100 g–1. The carcasses of S breed showed the least marbled meat.

Published: November 2024

The muscle and fat content of the carcass has been examined in the case of six genotypes (Hungarian merino, German mutton-merino, Pannon mutton-ram, Suffolk, Suffolk x British dairy and Texel) through the experiments with the help of computer tomography (CT). It was ascertained that data relating to the whole body do not reflect the tissue composition of the carcass. Concerning carcasses the Suffolk and the Texel have the lowest fat content while the Hungarian merino has the highest one. Concerning the extension of musculature, the Texel and the German mutton-merino showed the most favourable perspectives. The Texel significantly differs from the Suffolk and Pannon mutton-ram on P < 0.001 level. The muscle and fat ratio has also been determined (CTIF index), on the basis of which the Texel and the Suffolk have proved to be the best (6.2 and 5.9). Statistically provable difference can be found only in the cases of the Hungarian merino, the Texel and the Suffolk (P < 0.05).

Published: November 2024

Investigations into the qualitative characteristics of kid goat meat were done on the meat of 44 crossbred kid goats of domestic Balkan White and Saanen goat at the age of 3–4 and 6–7 months. The results showed that the highest average percentage of water contained the meat of a male kid goat at the age of 6–7 months (76.45 %), while the lowest was in the meat of a male kid goat at the age of 3–4 months (70.73 %). The highest content of proteins was found in the meat of a male kid goat at the age of 6–7 months (21.28 %), while the lowest was in the meat of a female kid goat in younger investigated groups (19.14 %). The highest content of fats was in the meat of a female kid goat at the age of 3–4 months (5.53 %), while the lowest was in the meat of a male kid goat in the younger investigated group (1.21 %). Quantity of mineral matters in both age and sex groups ranged from 1.06 to 1.17 %. Due to its physical-chemical values, kid goat meat from both age and sex groups is considered a very valuable product in human nutrition.

Published: November 2024

In order to develop a generic database structure, data streams were collected for Slovenian cattle, pig, horse, and rabbit populations. Additional information was gained from existing commercial software. Data structure was derived using logical process diagrams and entity relationship diagrams which were translated into relational tables creating data dictionary. Relational tables include list of common items, data type, description, and business rules to be performed on data entry and at checks of data integrity. Data dictionary was also written in “Model file” for the four mentioned species to create the specific databases as suggested by APIIS (Adaptable Platform Independent Information System). Screen forms for entering and browsing the data were implemented. To illustrate the steps, we have chosen data that belong to module Reproduction and Milk production.
Study on resistance performance of hexagonal hull form with variation of angle of attack, deadrise, and stern for flat-sided catamaran vessel
Authors: Windyandari Aulia , Sugeng Sunarso , Ridwan Mohd , Yusim Adi Kurniawan
Published: November 2024

The flat-sided hull vessel was designed with the purpose of simplifying hull production by eliminating the requirement for fairing, bending, and assembly of curved panel lines. Nevertheless, implementing the flat hull concept may marginally increase the hull resistance. The objective of the study is to investigate the impact of the hexagonal hull concept on resistance characteristics when altering the deadrise angle, angle of attack, and stern angle. Additionally, the resistance performances of the proposed hexagonal hulls were compared to evaluate the influence of the hull design geometry parameter. The contribution of this work is to identify the configuration of the design parameters to achieve an ideal level of resistance in a hexagonal catamaran hull design. The findings indicate that a greater angle of attack could potentially enhance wave generation and increase the resistance. Despite the increase in the wave resistance coefficient caused by the increment in deadrise angle, the overall resistance was reduced due to the significant reduction in wetted surface area resulting from the greater deadrise angle. As a result, the decrease in friction resistance was more pronounced than the increase in wave resistance. At last, the stern angle can cause a substantial oscillation in the curved line, resulting in a large increase in wave generation and overall resistance, particularly at high speeds.
Application of LS-RAPID to simulate the motion of two contrasting landslides triggered by earthquakes
Authors: Zhou Rong
Published: November 2024

Earthquake-triggered landslides are one of the most significant hazards worldwide. These landslides, involving small or large volumes, can develop debris flows or avalanches with high mobility and long runout distances. The motion processes of this type of landslide are also quite complicated. This study reproduced the motion processes of two landslides using the LS-RAPID program. The Aso-Bridge landslide occurred on April 16, 2016, and it featured rapid movement and a long runout distance. The Kataragai landslide occurred on April 9, 2018, and it traveled with a flow-like behavior. This work presents the features and mechanical parameters of these two landslides by means of survey investigations and laboratory experiments. We established pre-failure models and reproduced motion processes of these two landslides using the LS-PAPID program. Two indicators, consisting of the sliding speed and traveling morphology at different intervals, were considered to describe the motion processes. Results indicated that the resultant maximum sliding speeds of these two landslides were approximately 297.1 and 43.6 m/s, respectively, and that post-failure morphologies were consistent with those observed in field investigations.
Examining negative transfer in Cantonese learners of English as a foreign language: an optimality theory approach to English syllable acquisition
Authors: Zhao Ruinan , Gong Qi , Chen Yunqiao
Published: November 2024

The contrasting differences that exist in the English and Cantonese phonological systems result in divergent articulatory production between them. This article aims to investigate the negative transfer of Cantonese EFL learners in acquiring English consonant clusters and the constraint rankings of Cantonese and English syllable systems by comparing syllable structures and analyzing experimental statistics. The objective is to elucidate the reasons behind their negative transfer in English syllable acquisition. The research results demonstrated that Cantonese EFL learners found it easier to acquire consonant clusters in the onset position compared to the coda position. Additionally, an increase in consonants in the coda position posed greater difficulties for Cantonese EFL learners. The results also indicated that participants encountered the most problems with deletion, followed by substitution and epenthesis. The OT analysis reveals that the different rankings of faithfulness and markedness constraints in Cantonese and English led to transfer errors.
Challenging the Significance of the LALIA and the Justinianic Plague: A Reanalysis of the Archaeological Record
Authors: Olshanetsky Haggai , Cosijns Lev
Published: November 2024

The Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA), and the Justinianic Plague, were recently suggested as the possible culprits for settlement contraction and population decline that supposedly occurred in the 6th c. CE. According to some who support this claim, these changes contributed to the weakening of this empire, which eventually led to the loss of vast territories and its defeat by the Persians and Arabs in the first half of the 7th c. CE. The assumptions that climate and plague had devastating impacts in the 6th c. CE are largely based on selected textual evidence, and archaeological evidence outside of the boundaries of the Eastern Roman Empire. As the current article will show, it seems that these assumptions are inherently incorrect as vast amounts of evidence, including archaeological survey data, settlement patterns, shipwreck analyses, pottery distribution in the Mediterranean and other material, indicate that there was no decline in the 6th c. CE. On the contrary, it is possible that there was a peak in population size in the second half of the 6th c. CE, suggesting that the LALIA and the Justinianic plague were limited in their impact.

Investigating silver and alumina nanoparticles’ impact on fluid behavior over porous stretching surface
Authors: Nasir Saleem , Berrouk Abdallah S.
Published: November 2024

The parabolic trough solar collector is among the most beneficial solar energy production technologies. However, it has comparatively low thermal performance, which can be enhanced with innovative coolant hybrid nanofluids and transmitter tube configuration. In the present investigation, water-based silver and alumina nanoparticles are used to optimize heat transfer in dual-phase flow comprising magnetohydrodynamic Prandtl–Eyring dusty nanofluid under solar radiation by employing the Levenberg–Marquardt technique with back-propagated neural networks (LM-BPNN). By combining the Joule heating phenomenon, viscous dissipation, and heat source in nanofluid, the suggested LM-BPNNs propose to enhance heat transfer. After obtaining the dataset using a numerical method called bvp4c, the Levenberg–Marquardt technique with back-propagated artificial neural networks (LM-BPANN) algorithm is employed. Benchmark datasets are used with the LM-BPANNs methodology; 80% of the dataset is utilized for training and 10% is retained for testing and verification. The generated LM-BPANNs’ accuracy and convergence are verified employing the reliability obtained through effective fitness determined by mean squared error (MSE), thorough regression analysis, and suitable error histogram representations of data. With reduced MSE values of 4.38 × 10−9, it demonstrated exceptionally good performance and demonstrated the great reliability of the model’s predictions. The result demonstrates the efficacy of the suggested method and is consistent with producing a low absolute error of around zero. The main conclusions of this study should have a big impact on industries that use heat transmission, such as oil recovery, fluidic cells, solar collectors, and other related fields.

Published: November 2024

Hybrid nanofluids (HNFs) have outstanding energy transfer capabilities that are comparable to mono-nanofluids. Materials had appliances in obvious fields such as heat generation, micropower generation, and solar collectors. The objective of this study is to investigate the new aspects of convective heat transfer in an electrically conducting Carreau HNF situated between two parallel discs. In addition to the presumed stretchability and rotation of the discs, physical phenomena like nonlinear radiation, viscous dissipation, Joule dissipation, and heat generation and absorption are considered. The Cu and TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in engine oil to understand the intricate phenomenon of hybridization. The Tiwari and Das nanofluid model is employed to model the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) and then simplified using boundary layer approximation. The suitable transformations of similarity variables are defined and implemented to change the set of formulated PDEs into ordinary differential equations. The reduced system is solved semi-analytically by the homotopy analysis method. The influences of involving physical parameters on the velocity and temperature are plotted with the help of graphical figures. This study brings forth a significant contribution by uncovering novel flow features that have previously remained unexplored. By addressing a well-defined problem, our research provides valuable insights into the enhancement of thermal transport, with direct implications for diverse engineering devices such as solar collectors, heat exchangers, and microelectronics.

The application of hollow fiber membranes is one of the excellent processes to treat oily wastewater and wetland water. Treating oily wastewater and wetland water is a significant challenge and reported expensive. These wastes generally come from due the expansion of massive industries and human activities these days. This review discusses the critical ways of membrane hollow fiber application in treating oily wastewater as well as wetland water. It is also reported in literature that there is mostly organic contaminant accommodated in oily wastewater and wetland water. Due to that, the application of hollow fiber is the best way as a removal organic contaminant in oily wastewater as well as wetland water. Apart from that, the conventional and advanced methods are also well explained within this review followed by detail treatments, application, and performance of this hollow fiber membrane application. To achieve the best completed outcome of pollutants removal, several applications relate to other processes before contacting to hollow fiber membranes. The integration between conventional and advanced membrane technology in oily wastewater and wetland treatment is also well explained. The important factors in the fabrication and application of hollow fiber membrane depend on membrane materials and filtration processes. It means that the selection between membrane materials and final processes to choose are depending on the urgency, source of pollutants, and intended use.
To speak or not to speak? A secondary data analysis to further explore the context-insensitive avoidance scale
Authors: Abrahamsson Pernilla , Boersma Katja , Buhrman Monica
Published: November 2024

Objectives

Inflexibly relying on avoidance of expression may increase and perpetuate pain-related emotional distress in patients with chronic pain. The context-insensitive avoidance (CIA) scale was recently developed to measure the degree to which patients avoid expressing their pain and distress in social situations. This study explored the psychometric properties of the CIA scale in a new sample.

Methods

This study uses baseline data from a treatment trial for n = 115 patients with chronic pain and co-occurring emotional distress. Reliability and construct and criteria validity were studied using the same instruments as in the original psychometric study and further explored in two new measures. A series of multiple regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between the CIA scale and criteria variables compared to the other psychological constructs.

Results

The CIA scale showed good reliability. Significant correlations between high scores on the CIA scale and low scores on self-compassion and activity engagement could be replicated. Significant correlations between high scores on the CIA scale and high scores of pain intensity and pain interference could also be replicated. In the exploring part of this study, validity was extended to general problems with emotion regulation and to satisfaction with life in general and contact with friends but not to satisfaction with family, partner, or sexual life. Avoidance of expression was the only significant predictor of pain intensity.

Conclusion

This study could replicate acceptable psychometric properties of a scale measuring CIA of expression. As in the original study, avoidance of expression was associated with increased suffering. Clinically, this instrument may be used to identify patients who may otherwise remain in aggravating silence. Theoretically, it introduces the important concept of context sensitivity to the field of chronic pain. Limitations include uncertainty about causal relationships, and that several important social situations were not examined.

RESUMEN: El género ha sido y es un tema poco abordado en la historia más antigua del Caribe, el papel jugado por la mujer aborigen en su medio cultural antes de la llegada del europeo conquistador es pocas veces reconocido y mucho menos el rol desarrollado por ella durante el proceso de la conquista y la colonización, en la que sin lugar a dudas fue parte integral del mismo y sobre todo imprescindible en la transculturación inevitable ocurrida en nuestras tierras caribeñas, también la metodología arqueológica nos permite descifrar este discurso olvidado. Estos son los aspectos que trataremos de exponer, pretendiendo dar algo de luz a esta época prácticamente perdida en la literatura histórica actual.ABSTRACT: Gender is a most unusual subject in the ancient history of the Caribbean. The role of women before the European conquest is seldom acknowledged and even less so in the colonial period, when women were so important in the transculturation process in the Caribbean. Archaeology plays in this respect an important role. These are the subjects dealt with in this paper, unexplored in recent historical studies

Modal testing and analysis of high-rise laminated timber building
Authors: Xu Qiyun , Zou Hongyan , Wang Zheng , He Yuhang , Qi Liang , Wang Jun
Published: November 2024

To enhance the design and research work on dynamic characteristics of high-rise laminated timber buildings, this paper carried out a modal analysis study on one of the largest laminated timber buildings in China. The finite element calculating modal analysis was carried out using SAP2000 software, and the experimental modal analysis of the building was carried out via environmental excitation. The calculating modal results and the experimental modal results showed good agreement. The calculating modal frequency values were generally lower than the experimental modal frequency values. The natural frequencies obtained by the two methods appeared in the Y-direction first-order bending mode and had values of 2.03 and 2.5 Hz, respectively. The corresponding frequencies of the first-order torsional mode were 2.82 and 3.25 Hz, respectively. The distribution of the CLT core tube along the length direction of the building has an impact on the vibration mode. The six-story part shows the second-order bending form, while the four-story section only shows the first-order bending form. The above work provides a case study and reference for the simulation and modal analysis of high-rise laminated timber buildings, demonstrating the critical role of the core tube structure in such wooden buildings. This insight contributes to a better understanding of structural performance and design considerations in similar projects.

On the nature of civilization in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania
Authors: Bumblauskas Alfredas
Published: November 2024

The article by the medievalist historian presents a critical review of the reports on the nature of civilization in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in Polish, Russian, German, and Lithuanian historiography based on the definition of civilization by the Polish theorist of history, Feliks Koneczny ("Civilization is a method of arranging communal life"), and proves that this civilization was neither Western-Latin nor Eastern-Byzantine, but, rather, quite an independent one, with its own necessary minimum of European values.
Jewish national autonomy in Lithuania in 1919-1926th
Authors: Valkauskas Raimundas
Published: November 2024

After World War I, the problems of the racial, linguistic, and religious minorities were brought to the attention of the Peace Conference of Paris. The Jewish community, through a special delegation, demanded the recognition of the Jews as a "national minority" and brought their influence to protect and safeguard the rights of Jews.
The Declaration of Independence (February 16, 1918) was the first step towards the restoration of Lithuanian statehood. The Jews of Lithuania took an active part in the process of Lithuania's international recognition.
The representatives of the Lithuanian governmental delegation at the Peace Conference signed the letter-declaration (August 5, 1919), containing the obligation to respect and guarantee the rights of the Jews: complete equality before the law; the free use of their own language; the rights to control their own religious, educational, and social institutions; and an equitable share of public funds allotted to educational, religious, or charitable purposes.
This declaration and another law (The Temporary Law About the Rights of Jewish Communities, January 10, 1920) accepted by the Lithuanian Government was the legal foundation that created Jewish national autonomy in Lithuania. The structures of this autonomy—the Jewish communities and their Councils, the Jewish National Council, and the Ministry of Jewish Affairs—had been tolerated by the Lithuanian political parties until the end of 1922.
The new Constitution of Lithuania was accepted in August 1922, but it didn't establish the structures of Jewish national autonomy, only the general rights of the minorities of Lithuania.
The Christian Democratic Party and its representatives in the Seimas extended their influence over the state's power and were not satisfied with the Jews still dominating in the economy of the land. Shortly after this, when the Jewish representatives in the Seimas refused to support the aims of the Christian Democrats (the end of 1922), more and more anti-Semitic manifestations took place in public life and in the pages of newspapers. The previous structure of the Jewish national autonomy was abolished by the political decisions of the Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party in 1923–1925.
Reading the diplomatic reports of Petras Klimas from Paris
Authors: Kasperavičius Algis
Published: November 2024

Petras Klimas (1891-1969) was one of the creators of independent Lithuania, as well as a historian and diplomat. In 1925-1940, he was the ambassador of the Republic of Lithuania in Paris.
The reports of diplomats in their native states are a very important historical source. The largest number of P. Klimas's reports are kept in the Lithuanian State Archives. They are full of information and estimation, which help one better understand the international and internal situation in Lithuania at that time. In confidential reports, P. Klimas used the opportunity to express his independent opinion, which sometimes contradicted the politics and propaganda of the official Lithuanian authority.
In the reports, most attention was paid to the attitude of the power of France, people, and mass media on the argument between Lithuania and Poland with respect to Vilnius. The struggle between two arguing states was reflected in them. In this struggle, both Lithuanian and Polish diplomats tried to turn French public opinion to their own advantage, sometimes granting subsidies to some newspapers and journalists. The Poles had larger financial possibilities and influence on French public opinion. Poland was the most important ally of France in Eastern Europe. P. Klimas cited the words of one influential journalist: "Poland never gives Vilnius to Lithuania. Thus, the actions of the French in this direction would mean the instigation of their ally without any necessity." In these conditions, it was difficult for the Lithuanian diplomats to disregard hostile propaganda and disinformation spread by the Poles.
The French public opinion malevolently reacted to the coup in Lithuania on December 17, 1926, the liquidation of parliamentarianism, and the strict measures in respect to opposition. That’s why the French mass media benevolently reacted to the resignation of A. Voldemaras, whom the French considered the culprit of the politics of repressions, from the post of Prime Minister in August, 1929. Personally, P. Klimas didn’t support the strict measures, but he tried to serve Lithuania, not one or another political trend. He didn’t see an alternative to the nation’s power.

Hemophilia: review of the past and present
Authors: R Ovilla Martínez , F Pérez Zincer , J Alvarez Vera , M Alvarado Ibarra
Published: November 2024

Hemophilia is a hemorrhagic disorder with a sex-linked inherited pattern, characterized by an inability to amplify coagulation due to a deficiency in coagulation factor VIII (Hemophilia A or classic) or factor IX (hemophilia B). Sequencing of the genes involved in hemophilia has provided a description and record of the main mutations, as well as a correlation with the various degrees of severity. Hemorrhagic manifestations are related to the levels of circulating factor, mainly affecting the musculoskeletal system and specifically the large joints (knees, ankles and elbows). This document is a review and consensus of the main genetic aspects of hemophilia A and B, from the inheritance pattern to the concept of women carriers, physiopathology and classification of the disorder, the basic and confirmation studies when hemophilia is suspected, the various treatment regimens based on infusion of the deficient coagulation factor as well as innovative factor-free therapies and recommendations for the management of complications associated with treatment, development of inhibitors and/or transfusion transmitted infections.
Vyshyvanka as a Marker of the National Identity of Ukrainians Abroad
Authors: Rendiuk Teofil
Published: November 2024

The article is dedicated to a new topic in Ukrainian and foreign historiography, namely, highlighting the significance and place of Ukrainian vyshyvanka in defining the national identity of tens of millions of Ukrainians abroad. On the background of formation and crystallization of the global Ukrainian ethnic space as a result of the mass emigration of Ukrainian residents to 150 foreign countries because of the full-scale phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war with its single Ukrainian linguistic universe, there is logically an increased scientific interest in studying and highlighting the role of Ukrainian vyshyvanka in the formation and preservation of the national identity of Ukrainians abroad, which explains the relevance of submitted study. The special importance of vyshyvanka as an indicator of the national identity of Ukrainians abroad is investigated both for the classic diaspora and for the modern, new, wave of emigrants provoked by the current Russian military aggression against Ukraine. Particular emphasis is placed on the participation of children of Ukrainians abroad in numerous events on the occasion of World Vyshyvanka Day and calendar holidays, such as St. Nicholas, Christmas, Easter, etc. So, Ukrainian history, culture and holidays of our compatriots abroad cannot be imagined without Ukrainian vyshyvanka. It is concluded on the base of the analysis of various factual material of Ukrainian and foreign origin, that vyshyvanka is a deep symbol of national identity, a sign of self-expression of our people, its ethnic brand for Ukrainians. Vyshyvanka is a national symbol uniting those who support their Motherland with their hearts and souls, respect rich traditions of the Ukrainian people and glorify priceless cultural heritage on the territory of our country and far beyond its borders. It transmits these national values from the older generations of Ukrainians to the young. This phenomenon ensures the continuity of Ukrainianness throughout the world.
Vinnytsia as a Volunteer Hub: The Citizens’ Self-Organization in the Conditions of a Large-Scale Russian Invasion
Authors: Taran Olena
Published: November 2024

The article is based on the interviews recorded by the authoress during September-December, 2023. The volunteer movement as a socio-political and cultural phenomenon is investigated. The interviews have been conducted in Vinnytsia and agglomeration. Vinnytsia has already turned into a volunteer hub in the first days of the full-scale invasion. Aggressive war tactics and the general Ukrainophobic narrative in the Russian information space have increased the pro-Ukrainian percentage of Ukrainian citizens who treated the Russian Federation and its inhabitants, if not positively, then at least loyally, before the full-scale invasion of the Russians. Therefore, the percentage of Vinnytsia citizens, involved in certain types of volunteer movement is increasing steadily. The citizens are attracted to volunteer initiatives through information announcements on Internet platforms and even published in places of mass gathering of people. Private volunteer initiatives of ordinary city rezidents become significant and more eloquent. Not having the financial capabilities as large businesses, private ideas are focused on the following types of volunteer activities: the collection of donations for the needs of the military through charitable auctions; weaving camouflage nets, sewing kikimores and textile; formation of product kits; production of Hindenburg lights and matches; knitting warm things (primarily socks). Wide coverage of volunteer initiatives and the results of their implementation in the media attracts a larger number of citizens to volunteer movement, crystallizing and strengthening the foundation of civil society with pan-European democratic values. Public activists and volunteers have become the embodiment of moral virtues and a vector of value orientations in Ukrainian society in less than two years of large-scale military operations. A sense of involvement in the country’s defense through a volunteer movement consolidates the nation and to some extent contributes to the processes of self-identification. Today the volunteer movement in Ukraine is a new reality of modern everyday life of Ukrainians in the conditions of war.
