MICROBIOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE DETECTION OF FAT IN RITUAL VESSELS FROM ANCIENT BURIALS
Authors: Kashirskaya Natalia Nicolaevna , Chernysheva Elena Vladislavovna
Published: April 2023

Lipolytic bacteria are practically not detected in ordinary soils, but their number can increase significantly if fats enter the soil. To identify the initial presence of fats in the composition of ritual food, an assessment of the number of lipolytic bacteria in the soils of 64 vessels from the burials of the Early Medieval time of the North Caucasus was carried out. Microbiological analyses were conducted in samples from the bottom layer of vessels filling. Samples from the upper filling layer were used as a control. It was found that in 55 vessels the number of lipolytic bacteria in the bottom layer did not exceed the control level and was 4 – 20 times lower than in the control modern chernozem soil. In 9 vessels with the presumed presence of fat, the number of lipolytic microorganisms in the bottom layers was 3 – 155 times higher than in the upper layers. In most cases, fats were detected in small vessels – mugs, bowls and small jugs. In a model experiment on the introduction of vegetable and animal fats into the chernozem soil in the amount of 5% of the soil mass, the increase in the number of lipolytic bacteria varied 2 – 7 times compared to the control. The proposed method of detecting the initial presence of fat-containing food allows, due to its simplicity and accessibility, to conduct mass analyses of soil from burial vessels to obtain ideas about the use of fatty foods in the funeral rite of various cultures.
NEWLY FOUND MIDDLE PERSIAN INSCRIPTIONS
OF ĀMĀRGAR DARIUŠ IN DERBENT
Authors: Gadjiev Murtazali S. , Duntsov Alexey N.
Published: April 2023

Until recently, 32 Middle Persian inscriptions documenting the construction of the Derbent defensive complex and dating from the very end of the 560s. AD were known. Now the construction Middle Persian inscriptions of Derbent has been replenished with two more inscriptions - No. 33 and No. 34, opened by the authors in 2016 and 2021, respectively. Inscription No. 33 is located between towers 18 and 19 of the northern city defensive wall in the central part of the curtain, at a height of 1.5 m. It has poor preservation. But, nevertheless, its text is restored from the preserved fragments of letters and by analogy with other inscriptions similar in content. The inscription is three-line, vertical. Reconstructible text: [Da]r[iuš ī] Ā[durbādagān] ām[ārgar]. Inscription No. 34 is located between towers 14 and 15 of the northern wall, at a height of 2.15-2.6 m. The inscription is vertical, three-line, separate letters and parts of letters are preserved, and its text is reconstructed according to the surviving letters and analogies with other inscriptions. Its text reads: Dari[u]š ī [Ādurbādag]ān ām[ā]rgar.
Both inscriptions are composed on behalf of the āmārgar – a high official, chief financier and tax inspector of the vast Adurbadagan area, which during the reign of Shahanshah Khosrow I Anushirvan (531-579) included not only Adurbadagan proper, but all the Caucasian possessions of Sasanian Iran up to Derbent. The newly discovered inscriptions No. 33 and No. 34 belong to the subgroup b, group 1 of the Middle Persian inscriptions of Derbent, which represents the inscriptions of āmārgar Dariush. Now 19 (out of 34) inscriptions compiled on his behalf are already known, and all of them are carved on the northern wall of the city, where a total of 24 inscriptions are located.
ON THE CONTROVERSIAL LOCALIZATION OF THE TSAKHAR FORTRESS IN THE PASCHAL FORTIFICATION
Authors: Trebeleva Galina , Sakania Suram , Kizilov Andrey , Glazov Konstantin
Published: April 2023

The issue of localization of one or another toponym known from narrative sources is often ambiguous and causes discussions in the scientific community. This article is devoted to the analysis introduced into scientific circulation by Yu.N. Voronov and the well-established identification of a famous monument on the left bank of the Kodor – the Pskal fortification with the Tzakhar fortress, described by Agafius of Mirineisky. The Pskal fortification is a temple surrounded by a fortress wall with a total area of 1100 m². The authors of the article carried out a detailed analysis of the geographical location of the fortification, made a full-scale inspection, created photogrammetric models of the landscape and the temple itself. The geographical location of the monument showed that the Pskalsky fortification was connected with the region of the left bank of the Kodor River, and not with the Tsebelda Valley and the Misimians, which Agathius of Mirineisky describes, and which were located on the right bank of this river. The absence of a description of the crossing over the river and the inconsistency of the fortification area described in the source regarding the Ttsakhar fortress allows us to say that the identification of the Pskal fortress with Ttsakhar is premature and extremely controversial. An analysis of the design features of the temple made it possible to find a number of analogies among other monuments of the region, including those studied archaeologically, thanks to which we can state: monuments of this type: small temples with a semicircular apse inscribed in a common rectangular outline, with two semicircular niches on both sides of the apse semicircle could not have been built later than the 12th century, but they are not monuments of the Tsebelda era either. They can be attributed to the era of the emergence of a single Abkhazian kingdom. Thus, the fortification on Mount Pskal is not the ancient Misimian fortress Ttsakhar from the era of late antiquity, but a monument of the medieval history of the Abkhazian kingdom, which still requires its detailed study.
Review of Janet Afary and Kamran Afary MOLLĀ NASREDDIN The making of a modern trickster (1906–1911), Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2022.

The legendary satirical magazine "Molla Nasreddin" was founded by the famous Azerbaijani educator and writer Jalil Mammadguluzade in 1906 and in a short time became a significant social and political event in the life of the countries of the Muslim East. Sharp satirical poems, articles and cartoons in a short time made the magazine the most popular publication, influencing the thinking of an entire generation. Reformation, the struggle against despotism, the struggle for the civil and political rights of women, education issues are only a small part of the problems raised in this first satirical magazine in the Middle East. The magazine also played an important role in the fact that in 1919 the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was the first in the entire Muslim East to grant women the right to participate in elections. Despite strict censorship and prohibitions, the magazine continued to be published until 1931.

Published: April 2023

In 2019 and 2020, 5 km north of the city of Maykop in the Republic of Adygea, security and rescue excavations of mounds were carried out in connection with the construction of a highway bypassing the city of Maykop. Seven burial mounds were investigated, six of which were located compactly as part of the burial mound on the low, left bank of the upper Psenafa River, and one mound was located 1.5 km from the burial mound, but culturally and chronologically related to the studied mounds. During the work in three mounds, stone structures were identified under the mounds, which may represent ritual stone platforms used for memorial purposes. The ceramic fragments found here also made it possible to date this group of monuments. Four mounds contained burials, which made it possible to conduct a sex and age analysis, and the findings obtained – to date these burials. Based on the results of the work, it was concluded that the kurgan field was used twice – by the tribes of the Maykop-Novosvobodnenskaya community and the Meots. The purpose of the article is to introduce into scientific circulation the materials obtained in the course of the work, a preliminary analysis of the findings and interpretation of the buried structures.
“TO PROHIBIT THEM ALL WITHOUT EXCEPTION ENTERING OUR REALM…”: NAQSHBANDIYA-KHALIDIYA IN KURDISTAN AND DAGESTAN
Authors: Pobedonostseva-Kaya Angelika
Published: April 2023

The article deals with the history of contacts between the mountain peoples of the Caucasus and the Kurds of the Ottoman Empire and Persia in the 18th - 19th centuries. Using diplomatic and other official documents, as well as memoirs and summarizing the results of previous studies, the article analyzes the dynamics and characteristics of these contacts in the context of geopolitical rivalry of several empires in the region. The proximity of Dagestan and Kurdistan, their location at the crossroads of merchants and pilgrims led not only to the formation of diverse confessional communities, but also to the strengthening of trans-regional ties as a result of the spread of spiritual practices, in particular Sufi ones. Kurdish-Caucasian ties played a significant role in the emergence and strengthening in the Caucasus of the Khalidian branch of the Naqshbandi tariqa, one of the most influential Sufi traditions in the Islamic world. The territorial expansion of the Russian Empire in the first third of the 19th century led to its establishing control over a number of territories with Kurdish population, while the fears of the Russian authorities in connection with the Kurdish-Dagestani interaction through the “Khalidian” channel during the years of the Caucasian War became one of the reasons for the Russian authorities to apply administrative measures against the Kurds, which laid the foundation for Russia's future policy towards the Kurds. At the same time, the political significance of cross-border solidarity turned out to be temporarily limited, which proves the complicated nature of cross-border interaction even within the framework of religious movements sharing a single ideology.
IMMIGRATION OF DAGESTANIS TO THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE DURING THE CAUCASIAN WAR (1820S–1850S)
Authors: Chochiev Georgy V.
Published: April 2023

Long before the beginning of the mass exodus of representatives of the mountain peoples to the Ottoman Empire at the turn of the 1850s–1860s, there were episodic group and individual migrations of North Caucasians, including Dagestanis, to the Sultan’s possessions, directly or indirectly caused by Russian military-political expansion in the region. In particular, at a fairly early stage of the Caucasian War the Ottoman state became attractive as a place of emigration for some members of the Dagestan elite involved in the confrontation with the Russian forces, due not only to the current international-political situation, but also to the long-standing ties of many khanates and jamaats with Istanbul and the corresponding expectations for a favorable reception. A noticeable category of migrants was also made up of persons of clergy, who enjoyed the special care of the Porte and included both purely religious immigrants who aspired to settle in the Hijaz and other Muslim centers of the empire, and Sufi communities presumably involved in the resistance movement in the Caucasus with certain revanchist aspirations in relation to their abandoned homeland. From the beginning of the 1850s, agrarian (peasant) groups came to the fore among the Dagestan muhajirs, usually led by the ulemas, but often settled by the authorities separately from them in rural areas with limited material assistance. Despite the trend towards a gradual increase during the period under review of the influx of Dagestanis into Ottoman territory, the total number of immigrants hardly exceeded 1–2 thousand people settled in the cities and villages of Anatolia, the Arab provinces and the Balkans. This article, based mainly on Turkish archival sources, reveals the facts of immigration of people of Dagestani origin that took place against the backdrop of the ongoing Caucasian War, the main areas of their settlement and some features of the Porte’s policy for their reception and adaptation.
ISLAMIC CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL SOCIETIES,
PRINTING HOUSES, NATIONAL PRESS AND MUSLIM ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE NORTHERN CAUCASUS IN THE FIRST THIRD OF THE XX CENTURY
Authors: Navruzov Amir R.
Published: April 2023

The question of the origin and history of the development of the Muslim enlightenment of the North Caucasus in the first third of the 20th century has not been developed in the literature at all, there are almost no works on this topic, sources in the Eastern and Dagestan languages ​​have not been studied and introduced into scientific circulation. This article is an attempt to fill this gap to some extent. Creation in 1903 The Islamic printing house of M. Mavraev in Temir-Khan-Shura marked the beginning of the mass publication of printed materials of an educational orientation in Arabic and Dagestan languages ​​using Arabic graphics. The role of the cultural and educational societies of Dagestan, created during this period at the expense of the money of jamaats and sadak (donations), zakat, wills, waqfs, is enormous. The press in Arabic and national languages, which contributed to the enlightenment of the Dagestan peoples and the development of national languages ​​and cultures, was of inestimable importance for the promotion of Islamic educational ideas and the formation of public opinion. In the first third of the 20th century, groups of like-minded people formed in the region, united by the idea of ​​reviving the values ​​of Islam among the peoples of the North Caucasus. We can name among them such names as Ali Kayaev, Abusufyan Akaev, Muhammadmirza Mavraev, Badavi Saidov, Muhammad Dibirov, Seifulla-kadi Bashlarov, editorial boards of newspapers in the Dagestan languages: Avar, Lak, Kumyk, as well as many other Muslim educators who collaborated in these publications. All these factors together gave a powerful impetus to the formation and development of Muslim enlightenment in the North Caucasus in the first third of the 20th century.

One of the main problems of investigating the Kura-Araxes cultural and historical community is to identify its local variants in the South Caucasus. At the same time, the interaction of the bearers of this community with the population of other regions also influenced the formation of these local variants. From this viewpoint, the results of investigations of the monuments in Gabala district, located in the northern region of Azerbaijan, are interesting. Archaeological monuments belonging to different periods have been discovered in the territory of the district. A certain group is made up of kurgans dating to the Early Bronze Age. In the structure of the excavated kurgans and burial rites, depending on the chronological stage, various and common features were revealed. In the village of Amili of the Gabala district, three Early Bronze Age kurgans were studied. The complex structure of these kurgans draws attention. At the same time, a dolmen-shaped megalithic structure discovered in one of them attracts attention with its uniqueness. It is interestingly, the large stones with which this structure was built are made in the form of anthropomorphic idols. Lines of various sizes were carved on them. The crescent-shaped structures built in kurgans are also of interest. The group of ceramics has the property of “making hands stained” if you touch it, hands get stained. Such pottery is not typical for the Kura-Araxes community. The structure of the kurgans and the technological indicators of ceramics show that in the 4th-3rd millennia BC there were close ties between the northern regions of Azerbaijan and the North Caucasus.

This study was undertaken to investigate the mycofiltration of soil leachate from automobile repairs and servicing workshop Ikoku, Port Harcourt using Lentinus squarrosulus. To ascertain the contamination levels of the soil, sterilized sawdust was bagged, inoculated with mushroom spawn and allowed for 2 weeks to colonize the substrate. Then water extracted from the soil leachate was dispensed into the hole borne in the middle of the substrate then allowed to filter through into a sterile container which was subjected for physicochemical and microbiological analysis within 24 hours. Statistical analysis of data obtained after a 24-48 hours mycofiltration treatment, revealed a significant (P<0.05) reduction in the concentration of pH, Colour, Turbidity, Electrical conductivity, Total Dissolved Solid, Total Suspended Solid, Nitrite, Nitrate, Phosphate and Chemical Oxygen Demand. Electrical conductivity (µs cm-1) was reduced from 751 to 297, total dissolved solid (mg L-1) from 3.40 to 1.42, total suspended solid (mg L-1) from 2.81 to 1.07, nitrate (mg L-1) from 0.187 to 0.127, phosphate (mg L-1) from 1.04 to 0.72, turbidity level from 1028 to 401, biological oxygen demand (mg L-1) from 4.16 to 0, dissolved oxygen (mg L-1) from 401 to 0 and chemical oxygen demand (mg L-1) from 16.25 to 13.87. L. squarrosulus also exhibited a remarkable reduction in total heterotrophic count and total coliform count, which made it a potential purifying agent. The findings from this study showed that mycofiltration technique is a useful, efficient and affordable technology for removing pollutants from the soil in the automobile repairs and servicing workshop.

Onion is a major crop grown in northern Nigeria. It is popular for its nutritional and medicinal benefits worldwide. However, a lot of postharvest losses occurs especially during the storage of onion. This work was carried out to investigate the effects of bulb size, depth of storage and bulb orientation on physiological weight loss, sprouting and rotting of onion (red creole variety) in the modified IAR open rack onion storage structure for a sampling period of three months. A Complete Randomized Design (CRD) Anova was employed. Data were collected for a sampling period of 12 weeks and analysed using the Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) at 1% and 5% significant levels. Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was used for the mean separation of the significant variables. The results obtained showed that the total weight loss of onions during the sampling period was 19.6%. Bulb orientation had a major effect on sprouting and physiological weight loss. Medium bulb sizes of (5 – 7cm Major Diameter) were better suited for storage.

The study assessed the profitability of maize/cowpea intercropping in Samaru. The data was obtained from a field research carried out in the Research and Teaching farm of the Institute for Agricultural Research, Samaru, Zaria, during the 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons. The treatment consisted of three rates of poultry manure (0, 3 and 6 tons/ha), two ways of split N application to maize (two split dose and three split dose), and two cowpea genotypes arranged in a split plot design replicated four times. Results from the research showed that both poultry manure and triple split N dosage application significantly increased maize and cowpea yield in both years; with best economic results obtained with the application of 3 tons ha-1 of poultry manure. Assessment of the suitability of the intercropping system as defined by Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) and Relative Yield (RY) showed that higher yields were obtained from the intercrop compared to the sole as reflected in the LER values being more than one (1) units. Application of 3 tons ha-1 of poultry manure gave the highest gross margin (GM) with a corresponding return on investment (ROI) of 59% indicating that for every naira invested in the venture (ie 3 tons ha-1), five (5) naira eighty nine kobo (5.89) profit was realized. Research therefore recommended the application of 3 tons ha-1 of poultry manure in addition to double split of 45 kg ha-1 of nitrogen fertilizer at 2 and 4 WAS to achieve maximum economics benefits of maize-cowpea intercropping system in  Savanna Alfisols

ABSTRAK Keberhasilan program kesehatan ibu dapat dinilai melalui indikator utama Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI). Kematian ibu dalam indikator ini didefinisikan sebagai semua kematian selama periode kehamilan, persalinan, dan nifas yang disebabkan oleh kehamilan, persalinan, dan nifas atau pengelolaannya, tetapi bukan karena sebab lain seperti kecelakaan atau insidental. Tinggi rendahnya Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) menjadi ukuran kemampuan pelayanan obsetrik suatu Negara. Indonesia dengan Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) 359 per 100.000 persalinan hidup, menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan pelayanan obsetrik belum menyentuh masyarakat dengan cakupan bermutu dan menyeluruh, (Manuaba, dkk, 2009). Membantu menemukan masalah kesehatan dan meningkatkan derajat kesehatan masyarakat setempat. Mengumpulkan data primer melalui wawancara dengan beberapa masyarakat setempa dan data sekunder yaitu mencari data informasi pendukung dalam pelaksanaan pengabdian masyarakat ini. Hasil pemeriksaan dari seluruh anak yang berjumlah 93 anak,  yang termasuk dalam kategori normal sebesar 58  anak (62,4%), yang datang untuk melakukan imunisasi sebanyak 17 anak ( 18,3%), yang mempunyai keluhan dengan mengalami batuk pilek 12 anak (12,9%), demam sebanyak 4 anak (4,3%), termasuk BGM sebanyak 2 anak (2,1%) dan tidak didapatkan anak dengan kategori Stunting. Pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh tim dosen dan mahasiswa Stikes Abdi Nusantara Jakarta sudah berjalan dengan lancar. Kata kunci: Kehamilan, Angka Kematian Ibu, Imunisasi  ABSTRACT The success of maternal health programs can be measured using a key indicator, maternal mortality ratio (MMR). Maternal mortality for this indicator is defined as all deaths during pregnancy, childbirth, and childbirth attributable to pregnancy, childbirth, childbirth, or its treatment, and not attributable to other causes, such as accidents or incidents. The level of maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is a measure of the effectiveness of a country's maternity services. In Indonesia, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) is 359 per 100,000 live births, indicating that midwifery opportunities have not yet reached communities (Manuaba, et al., 2009). It helps us discover health problems and improve the health of our communities. Gathering primary and secondary data from multiple local community interviews, i.e. finding supporting information data in the performance of this community service. Test results for all 93 patients showed that 58 (62.4%) were healthy, 17 (18.3%) were vaccinated, 12 (12.9%) had cough and cold symptoms, and 4 (4.3%) had fever, had including BGM in 2 children (2.1%) and no children in the stunting category. The implementation of community services by the Stikes Abdi Nusantara Jakarta faculty and student team is well underway. Keywords: Pregnancy, Maternal Mortality Rate, Immunization
