Aspecte privind relaţiile României cu Iugoslavia în timpul guvernării Iorga-Argetoianu (aprilie 1931 – mai 1932): relaţiile culturale, şcolare, bisericeşti şi sportive / Aspects regarding Romania’s Relations with Yugoslavia during Iorga-Argetoianu Government (April 1931-May 1932): Cultural, School, Church and Sports Relations
Authors: Narai Eusebiu
Published: March 2022

The cultural relations were oriented, first of all, towards the following problems: the cultural situation of the Romanian minority in Yugoslavia; the cultural development of the other states belonging to the Little Entente (Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia); the participation of the states of the Little Entente in the Congress of the Committees of the Federation of Historical Societies of Eastern Europe (Prague, May 1932) – with the aim of harmonizing divergent views among historians in the region, etc.School relations, although much smaller in terms of quantity, were mainly focused on solving the problem of Romanian minority education in the Yugoslav Banat.The church reports followed, in particular, aspects regarding: the construction of places of worship in the states of the Little Entente; the requests of the Romanians from the Yugoslav Banat in order to establish a vicariate in Vârşeţ etc.In conclusion, the Western daily – considered, by many Banatians, as a guiding beacon, a moral model for presenting reality – captures the complex relationships within the Little Entente, with ups and downs, quite objectively, demolishing myths or counterfeit images of some leaders and promoting Banatism, as an integral part of Romanianism.
Marturii arheologice din epoca timpurie a migratiilor in Banat – Etapa D2 / Archaologische Belege aus der fruhen Volkerwanderungszeit im Banat – die Stufe D2
Authors: Tănase Daniela
Published: March 2022

e D2 Phase of the early migrations period coincides with the culmination of the Hun rule. In D2 stage one can observe a confinement of habitatation in the Banat Plain (Map 2) compared with the earlier period – Phase D1 (Map 1). In the present stage of research we can affirm that in the Banat region no single settlement was archaeologically investigated that could be assigned with certainty to the D2 chronological horizon. is situation is not a particular phenomenon, for a more intense inhabitation in D1 than in D2 phase was remarked for the entire territory of present day Romania.Artefacts from Banat one can date in D2 Phase come mostly from graves accidentally discovered in the 19thcentury. Only one necropolis from Timișoara-Freidorf was systematically investigated during 1988 – 2006. e discovery of luxury items in Banat (the graves from Izvin and Periam, the grave? from Denta) indicate the presence of a tribal elite that gravitated around a Hun power centre situated most probably west to the confluence area of the Mureş and Tisa rivers. From the perspective of funeral discoveries, the Banat Plain seem to have been populated mostly by tribes of Alanic and Germanic origin, probably Gepids. e archaeological landscape of Banat in Phase D2 is extremely modest, the region being sparely inhabited. e goal of future researche will be clarify aspects related to habitatation during the height of the Hun Empire.
Contribuții la istoria pompierilor voluntari din Timișoara (de la inceputuri pană in anul 1936) / Contributions to the history of volunteer firefighters from Timișoara (from the very beginnings to 1936)
Authors: Kakucs Lajos
Published: March 2022

We have got the first sporadic references to the activity of volunteer firefighters from Timişoara from the period succeeding the formation of the town’s civilian leadership after January 1, 1718, when the fireman’s duties, as well as those regarding the internal order, were related to the Civil Magistracy which was also supervised by the Administration of Banat County. The 22nd point of the Regulations from 1755 for the town’s organisation (Policey Ordnung) demanded the construction of a separate building, from solid materials, for the preservation of objects (such as stairs, dishes etc.) and cars needed to stop the fire (Wasser Maschinen). The new regulations of the Administration of Banat County, in March 31, 1774, envisaged the participation of citizens, especially of the craftsmen in the town, in the extinction of fire. In the decades after 1718 the chimney sweeps from Timişoara had an important role in the extinction of fire; after 1815 they were organised in a mutual guild together with masons, stone carvers, carpenters, roofers and street pavers. The sealing field of this guild’s signet dominated the silhouette of their patron, St. Florian, holding a flag in his left hand, a milk pail in his right hand, from which he was pouring some water on a house in fire. After the guild’s dissolution, the first group of volunteer firefighters from Timişoara was organised in the Fabric District in September 1867, relying on a much older structure belonging to Timișoara town. The status of the structure from Fabric was authorized only on August 22, 1868. The Volunteer Firefighter Corporation from Iosefin (Josefstädter Feuerlösch-Corp) was founded on August 5, 1868, in a restaurant (Zum König von Ungarn). The information of a newspaper, Temesvarer Zeitung, in 1873, certifies the alliance of volunteer firefighters from two districts, Iosefin and Elisabetin. The Volunteer Firefighter Corporation from the fortified town, as the third corporation in the town of Timișoara, was founded in 1873. In 1877 the three volunteer firefighter corporations were united under the name of Temesvarer Freiwillige Feuerwehr. They preserved their own authority. According to our information, the groups of volunteer firefighters from the outskirts of Mehala and Fratelia were organised in 1894.
Date noi si mai vechi in legătură cu fortificația romană de la Mehadia (jud. Caraș-Severin) / New and older data about the Roman fortification from Mehadia (Caraș-Severin County)
Authors: Timoc Călin
Published: March 2022

e Roman camp from Mehadia has been systematically researched in several moments over the last hundred years. However, the internal plan of the fortification could not be established precisely due to the many late interventions that the Romans undertook in the area, but also as a result of serious floods caused by overflow of the Bolvaşniţa River and Belareca River, fast mountain waters which affected the integrity of the site. Doina Benea, who established the last chronology of the fortification at Mehadia, considers that the last users of the camp perimeter were the limitanei (peasant soldiers) from the Constantinian period of the Roman Army, conclusions based on some discoveries in the area of the gates that indicated architectural changes of the towers and entrance. However, the 18th-century Habsburg cartographic sources give us indications that during the Austro-Turkish confrontations this castellum with visible vallum system and defense ditch was used, leaving even material traces that archaeologists did not recognize or that did not take them into account.

Preliminary Data Regarding the Newly Discovered 6th Century Necropolis at Nădlac, Arad County
Authors: Lăzărescu Vlad-Andrei , Radu Claudia , Ursuţiu Adrian
Published: March 2022

The article presents a newly discovered site identified during a rescue excavation performed in 2014 as part of the project for the construction of the motorway Nădlac – Arad, Arad County. With this occasion, two graves belonging to the Migration Period dated during the middle of the 6th century AD were discovered. Due to the topographical position of these two graves it is believed that they are part of a bigger necropolis belonging to the so-called Reihengräberfeld type of cemeteries, typical for the 6th century AD in this geographical and cultural area. Strong connections with the Merovingian milieu are observed while studying the composition of their funerary inventories, testifying for the complexity and heterogeneity of the 6th century AD group of discoveries linked with the eastern Germanic tribes known, from the ancient literary accounts, to have inhabited this region. This newly identified necropolis can be associated with the group of similar discoveries documented in the western part of Romania, the Tisza region and in the northern part of nowadays Serbia generally connected with the presence of the Gepids.
Schildbuckel und Ihre Entwicklung im Karpatenbecken des 5. Jahrhunderts / Shield bosses and their development in the Carpathian Basin of the 5th century
Authors: Kiss Attila P.
Published: March 2022

This study presents the 5th century shield bosses types known from the material of burials in the Carpathian Basin and their development. A wide range of objects spread throughout the area during the late Roman Imperial and the early migration periods (Type of Dobrodzień/Zieling T-Varianten, Csongrad/Zieling L, Misery/Zieling H1, Vermand, Horgos/Libenau; Kiszombor). It is typical that the graves in which shields were placed are known mainly from the eastern part of the Carpathian Basin (we do not know any such burials from Transdanubia). Among the conical shield bosses, specimens ending in a spike also appear during the middle third of the 5th century, evoking earlier forms (ancient Germanic traditions). Unfortunately, previous research has often classified certain types into one type based only on similar characteristics (form of the cone). In the present writing, in order to avoid this, I tried to separate the pieces previously classified only for the Horgos/Libenau type. In the case of the latest pieces (second half and end of the 5th century), the spike should be hammered (Grave Kiszombor-B 308). In the latest pieces, which appear in the earliest graves of the row-grave cemeteries, the spike was hammered. At the end of the 5th century, pieces of Merovingian culture known in the west appear, which spread very rapidly in the area and in the local material of row-grave cemeteries.

Reflectarea în memorialistică (1946–1976) a activităţii de salvare de la moarte a evreilor din Ungaria şi Transilvania de nord (1944) / The Actions to Save Hungarian and Northern Transylvanian Jews from Death as they Were Reflected in Memorial Writings (1944)
Authors: Faur Antonio
Published: March 2022

Memorial testimonies have been written in Romania and abroad by the people who were involved in or were thewitnesses of the rescue actions of the Jews from Hungary and Northern Transylvania, by their illegal crossing overthe border in Romania and their subsequent travel to Bucharest. The author focuses on two of these memorialdocuments written by David Arnold Finkelstein (published in Tel Aviv, in 1958) and by the General Consul Dr.Mihai Marina (in Oradea), whose evocation was published in the pages of Magazin istoric (from 1976, no. 6). Thereferences given by these two authors to the issue of the Jews’ rescue are of obvious historical value, referring tothe areas of Cluj-Turda and Oradea-Beiuş-Arad, where, by means of organised channels (by Jews and Romanians),thousands of Jews were helped to cross the mentioned border. Once they had reached – with the help of guides(mostly Romanian peasants from the villages near the border) – the territory of Romania (of that time), theywere guided towards towns like Turda and Arad (where the Jews, who had crossed the border in Bihor area, wereexpected) in order to be given documents and transported to the country’s capital. The two memoirists haveconcurrent information and commentaries, which reinforce the truth of the existence of efficient channels to savethe Jews in the above mentioned areas.
Resedinta regala medievala de la Timisoara / The Medieval Royal Residence from Timisoara
Authors: Kopeczny Zsuzsanna
Published: March 2022

e subject of our present paper fits in the topic of medieval royal seats, which have always been considered a priority of historical and archaeological research. Our purpose was to synthesise all documentary data about the royal residence of the Anjou period from Timişoara, corroborating them with the results of older and the newest archaeological investigations. e latter ones, carried out during the last six years, have a great importance, for many of the so far formulated ideas and theories proved to be wrong. One of the first historical corrections to be made is related to the date of the first visit in Timişoara of King Charles I of Anjou. According to the latest research, the charter which stood at the base of this affirmation, initially dated to 1307, was in fact issued a decade later. In consequence we do not have any proof of the royal presence in the region prior to 1315, when the first charters are issued by the same king from Timişoara. Despite all documentary evidence related to the presence and functioning of the royal court here, information is extremely scarce regarding the residence itself: construction, architectural aspect etc. Following older monographs, the idea took hold that the king disposed the construction of a elaborate stone castle, mainly carried out by Italian masons who followed the king to the Realm of Hungary. Archaeological excavations revealed that this theory couldn’t be further from truth. All constructions dated to this first functional period of the castle, known today as Huniade Castle, were erected exclusively of brick and wood. Stone is comparatively rare and is limited to the foundations of some of the buildings. Even decorative elements, such as door frames, were carried out of profiled bricks. e core of the residence is represented by a quadrate shaped tower. Initially it was surrounded by a wooden palisade doubled with a ditch, enclosing a much smaller area compared to the later periods. It is highly possible, though not proven yet, that the brick tower was preceded by a wooden stronghold constructed prior to the 14th century. Later on a defence wall made of brick was constructed around the keep and the residence has been extended also with a palace.Archaeological evidence shows that, contrary to all expectations, the royal residence from Timişoara had rather modest and practical architectural features. is can be partly explained with the geomorphologic configuration of the terrain, consisting of smaller and larger dry lands surrounded by watercourses and swamp. e lack of stone quarries in the proximity is another aspect to be taken into consideration, which along with the temporary character of the seat would have made greater construction and financial efforts rather worthless. If we compare the residence from Timişoara with the one from Visegrád, constructed by King Charles I after 1323, we can easily observe the similarities and the same modesty of the architecture.
Timişoara – Bucureşti – Istanbul: o „vanătoare” de lotri din Banat la 1800 / Timişoara – Bucharest – Istanbul: “hunting” robbers (lotri) from the region of Banat in 1800
Authors: Feneșan Costin
Published: March 2022

Starting with 1792, three gangs of robbers, mostly consisting of former soldiers from the Wallachian-Illyric Borderregiment and of peasants from several villages of the Caraş and Timiş counties next to the mountains, have increased their attacks putting the common folk and travellers security in great danger. While operating in the mountains on the Banatian side during spring and summer, the robbers retreated in late autumn and winter to different villages of Walachia, in the counties of Mehedinţi, Gorj and Vâlcea, and even to the Ottoman ruled territory, at Ada Kaleh and Tekije. Trying to put an end to this situation, the Banatian Military Command in cooperation with the Timiş county decided to send, in April 1800, George Császár, regional commissioner for public security, to Bucharest, escorted by 19 armed guards (the so-called Panduren), in order to pursue, catch and %nally obtain the extradition of the Banatian robbers hidden in Wallachia. Michael Merkelius, the Austrian diplomatic agent in Bucharest, had spoken for several times on this matter to Prince Alexander Moruzi of Wallachia, but disappointed of being constantly postponed, he suggested to commissioner Császár to take a trip to Istanbul and describe the entire matter to Peter Philipp Herbert baron Rathkeal, imperial ambassador to the Ottoman Porte. After having put the Ottoman Governement under pressure, Herbert-Rathkeal earned, on August 9 1800, an order (ferman) of sultan Selim III to Prince Alexander Moruzi, granting him the extradition of all Banatian robbers settled down in Wallachia after the peace treaty of Șiştov (1791). Compelled towards being more cooperative, Prince Moruzi ordered the county-chiefs on the border to the Banat to conduct a thorough watch on the bordercrossing to Wallachia by any robber and to track, hunt down and capture every single robber. Having returned to Bucharest, commissioner Császár left the city at the end of September 1800, taking with him the sultanic ferman and a written order of Prince Moruzi regarding the Banatian robbers. On the way to Transylvania the precious documents were irremediably damaged by water and had to be replaced by newones. As for the robbers, they continued to carry on with their attacks for at least half a century, without being seriously disturbed by the authorities on both sides of the border.
Iluminismul transilvan: ecouri europene si aspiratii intelectuale locale / Transylvanian Enlightenment: European Influences and Local Intellectual Ambitions
Authors: Neumann Victor
Published: March 2022

The paper aims to query Transylvania's history in the 18th century, a new perspective that targets how European Enlightenment was received and capitalized by various social, confessional, communautarian and linguistic groups that lived in the region. It contextualizes, conceptualizes and suggests a re-definition of identity policies in Transylvania at the beginning of modernity, by reflecting on contradictions resulting through the association of enlightened and romantics ideas.
Despre cronologia relativă și absolută a neoliticului și eneoliticului timpuriu din răsăritul Bazinului Carpatic. O abordare Bayesiană / Remarks on the Relative and Absolute Chronologies on the Neolithic andEarly Eneolithic of the Eastern Carpathian Bassin. A Bayesian approach
Authors: Draşovean Florin
Published: March 2022

The study analyses the syncronisms between the cultures of the Middle and Late Neolithic and the Early Eneolithic from Banat and Transylvania, based on the Bayesian models of the ¹4C data gathered from Parţa-tell I, Sânandrei-Ocsăplatz, Uivar-Gomilă, Foeni-Cimitirul Ortodox, Orăștie-Dealul Pemilor, Cerișor-Cauce, Zau de Câmpie-La grădiniţă and Alba Iulia-Lumea Nouă. By comparing the absolute data with the stratigraphical situation of these sites, it has been concluded that phase IIB of the Banat Culture begins at the end of the Vinča A phase and ends its evolution in Vinča B1, the Banat Culture phases IIB-IIC (level 6a) are synchronous with Vinča B2, the beginning of the Foeni site is synchronized with the end of the Vinča C phase, it is after the Uivar sites (Neolithic) and Hodoni, and the end of the last level (III) is before the final Vinča D phase.Comparing ¹4C data from the late phase of the Vinča culture eponimous settlement with the Transylvanian phase shows that phase A sites from this area lasted even after the Vinča A habitation from the namesake settlement has ceased to exist, their end situated towards the middle of the Vinča B phase of the Danubian zone.The Zau de Câmpie radiometric data shows that the data from the IB–IC Zau culture phases are not synchronous with the Vinča A3 stage from the namesake site. They are from a later period, contemporary with the mid Vinča B phase interval. Also, ¹4C data proves that the Zau III phase is contemporary with Vinča C1 and does not support the parallels between Zau IIIB and Vinca C2.¹4C data of the Zau de Câmpie late phases proves that phase Zau III is contemporary with Vinča C1 and confirms the Zau IIIA- Vinča C1 synchronism. However, the same data shows that the Zau IIIB phase ends almost simultaneously with the end of this stage and they do not support the parallels between Zau IIIB and Vinča C2.By comparing the absolute data with the stratigraphical situation of these sites, it has been concluded that the genesis of the Turdaș culture takes place during the Vinča C2 phase, with the help of some elements from Banat at that time. Also, the Turdaș II phase cannot be placed earlier than Vinča C2/C3, while Turdaș III is contemporary with Vinča C3-D and ends with the arrival of the Foeni group in Transylvania. Due to its new chronological position, the Foeni group may have contributed not only to the genesis of the Petrești culture, but also that of the Ariușd-Cucuteni culture.
Scaunele de judecata din comitatul Timis / Judicial Courts in Timis County
Authors: Iusztin Zoltán
Published: March 2022

According to the historiography and to most of the documentary sources, Timişoara was, in the Middle Ages, the most important settlement in the Banat Plain. is can be easy understood not only due to the military importance and strategic situation of the citadel, but also because was here where the Judicial Court of Timiş County was functioning. is institution was intended to regulate and exercise judicial authority at a local level. e judgments performed by this institution referred to the county nobility, being the first court of appeal of the Hungarian kingdom’s judicial system. For the 14th – 15th centuries we managed to identify just over 100 meetings of this institution, where lawsuits were resolved and fines and citations were imposed. e documentary sources that we used in this research were solely acts of this forum, but kept randomly. erefore any statistics on the activity of the judicial court is relative, especially since some historians argue that these institution meetings were held weekly or monthly.
Un lot de monete de la Ferdinand I al Ungariei din tezaurul de la Satchinez (jud. Timiș) / A Batch of Coins From Ferdinand I of Hungary from the Hoard of Satchinez (Timiş County)
Authors: Şeptilici Raoul M.
Published: March 2022

The Museum of Banat in Timişoara recently acquired a batch of nine coins deriving from Ferdinand I ofHungary, which might have been part of the medieval hoard of coins at Satchinez, discovered sometimes aroundthe end of the 60s – beginning of the 70s of the former Century. The batch comes from a native (who might stillhave some other stray pieces). It seems that the hoard was discovered during farm work, having been scatteredby the plough. It is claimed (without any certainty) that there were over 3000 small silver coins, which cameto belong to different persons, some probably even to the collection of the Museum of Banat. By searching theinventory registries I identified 28 Hungarian pieces originating from Satchinez (from two granters) and whichin all probability are part of a hoard discovered in 1977 at the latest, but they all derive from Queen Maria(1385–1395).The span of time between the two issuers (Maria and Ferdinand I) is great, which leads us to believe thatthere were two discoveries of coin hoards at Satchinez. The only hoard in Banat, known to us, which would beclose in time, is that of Beregsăul Mare, which starts with coins from Maria and ends with coins from Ludovic II(1516–1526). Until the matter is clarified, we publish for now the pieces recently entered in the collection of themuseum. Future research will include the pieces from Maria, and by correlating the results of the archive researchwith the field research, we shall see whether there was one or two hoards (as we incline to believe).The nine pieces described here are from the period 1530-1563, with only the K – B marks (Kremnitz-Banya).The published batch brings to the attention of the specialists a coin hoard that is unrecorded in the specialtyliterature. Unfortunately, due to the minimal number of pieces, pertinent conclusions cannot yet be drawn.

Authors: Georgescu Andrei
Published: March 2022

e rescue excavations that were coordinated by Alexandru Szentmiklosi in the Piaţa Unirii ( e Union Square) from Timişoara revealed important aspects from the history of medieval and modern city of Timişoara. Unexpected was the discovery of three Early Iron Age features. One of the features was a sunken dwelling, while the others were two shafts. While the dwelling was seriously damaged by later constructions, the shafts provided relevant information regarding water management strategies but also concerning spiritual aspects of this community. e settlement can be dated to the Late Hallstatt period, a chronological horizon which has been only scantly investigated so far in the Banat region.

A Bronze Handle from the Pongrácz Collection
Authors: Onițiu Atalia
Published: March 2022

This paper brings to the attention of researchers a bronze handle, most likely from a larger vessel, a piece that was part of the famous Pongrácz collection, housed by the National Museum of Banat in Timișoara,now unfortunately lost, kept only in the form of a drawing. We cannot say with certainty the piece comes from the ancient Dierna, but we cannot exclude this possibility either. We will try in our approach to establish the functionality of the piece and, through analogies, to try a typological and chronological classification of it. Due to the quality of the execution, the attention to detail and the mastery of the decor, we do not exclude the hypothesis that we are in front of an imported piece, both a testimony of trade relations and the level of civilization reached in antiquity by the settlements in the Danube area.
Alegerile parlamentare din anul 1919 în judeţul Caraş-Severin / 1919 Parliamentary Elections in Caraş-Severin County
Authors: Dudaș Vasile
Published: March 2022

The aim of this study is to investigate the development of the November 1919 parliamentary elections in thedistricts of Caraş-Severin County.After the withdrawal of Serbian and French troops from the Banat and the establishment of the Romanianadministration, two counties were set-up in the Banat area allocated to Romania after the Paris Peace Conference,namely Caraş-Severin and Timiş-Torontal.Caraş-Severin County had its capital in Lugoj and included most of the former Hungarian county with thesame name.According to the decisions of the National Assembly of Alba Iulia from 1 December 1918, the new countyadministration was subordinated to the Governing Council based in Sibiu at that time.Both the domestic and international public observed the elections closely, which were announced at thebeginning of 1919. These were the first parliamentary elections in Great Romania.This study describes the new election law: the organization of electoral districts on the territory of the mentionedcounty; the disputes between the political parties that occurred during the preparation of the candidates lists forthe Chamber of Deputies and Senate, the activity of the political parties based in this county; and the electoraltours of candidates in the districts’ villages and cities.The study highlights that these elections were conducted during a state of siege and censorship, whichrepresented a form of political aggression and a way to influence the electorate. Censorship was aimed mainlyat the publications of opposition parties and independent publications, but also some electoral propagandamaterials: brochures, leaflets, posters, flyers, etc., which played an important role in this electoral campaign.Thus, at that time, the Lugoj newspaper Drapelul (the Flag) that appeared since the beginning of the centurywas considered one of the most important publications of the Romanian National Party. The most importantpublications of the opposition parties were Timişana and Banatul Românesc.Considering that the Romanian National Party was presented in the election campaign with a historical past andshowing many times that it is the representative of the Romanian people from Transylvania and Banat, enjoyingpopularity among electors, and being supported by authorities through the mass-media that spread its electoralprogram, the party’s success in the 1919 elections in the districts of Caraş-Severin County seems only naturalthe study concludes with a listing of the names of deputies and senators from Caraş-Severin that will be partof united Romania’s first parliament.
O privire critică asupra unei descrieri inedite a Timișoarei la 1821 în jurnalul de călătorie a lui Mindszenthy Antal / A critical approach regarding an unknown description of Timișoara from 1821 within the travel diary of Mindszenthy Antal
Authors: Kopeczny Zsuzsanna , Pánya István
Published: March 2022

Mindszenthy Antal (1786–1859?) was a Hungarian erudite who travelled across Europe and Hungary, leaving behind a diary about his trip across the Hungarian Plane. The first part of his descriptions was published in 1831 and 1832, but due to the censorship of the period, the second part of his manuscript, the description of his trip from Titel to Pest, was not allowed to be printed. The diary of Mindszenthy is kept in the Széchenyi National Library from Budapest, Hungary and was entirely published recently by the Katona József Museum from Kecskemét. Due to the fact that the travel route included regions of Banat that are to be found today within the borders of Romania, one of the stops being the center of the region, namely Timișoara, we thought it would be of great interest to publish the description of the city, both in Hungarian language and translated into Romanian. Timișoara has underwent several reconstructions through the centuries (and it witnessed three major sieges in 1551/1552, 1718 and 1849), consequently the major part of it’s architectural heritage dates from the end of the 19th century, but especialy from the beginning of the following century. Such narrations from eye whitnesses are very scarce in the first part of the 19th century, a period when illustrations are as well extremely rare. A local priest, Nicolae Stoica de Haţeg has written his chronicle about the region of Banat a few years after Mindszenthy, between 1825–1827. Apparently for both of them the work of Francesco Griselini stood as a modell. The original text has been adnoted with comments and interpretations of the authors in order to establish the veridicity of the descriptions of the diary and to provide further information regarding the subject of the account. Since the diary did not included any illustration, for a better understanding we completed it with several images representing either the city plan or buildings, mainly dating from the 19th century or earlier, trying to illustrate the descriptions as faithfully as possible.The text also offered the authors the opportunity to discuss about some historical relics it refers to: an ottoman inscription that was inaccurately translated until now, the Horros Kapi (Rooster or later Forforosa Gate) of the Ottoman fortification of Timișoara and a presumably medieval flag kept in the artillery warehouse.
Fuzzy Boundary for Beams Vibrations in Vehicles
Authors: Ferreira M. P. S. , Jafelice R. M. , Sanches L.
Published: March 2022

The aim of this work is to study the transversal motion of a car's chassis, modeled by a beam and supported at its ends by two set of spring-damper element. We use a finite differences method with Robin boundary conditions at the ends to solve the mathematical modeling. The boundary conditions constants are modeled by a fuzzy parameter, which is obtained through Fuzzy Rule-Based System (FRBS) acting on the different vibrations of the model depending on the number of spirals and time of use of the spring. The contributions in this study come in the sense of considering the elastic constant of the spring as a relevant instrument acting in the system, because the analytical formula to perform these calculations does not take into consideration the time of use of it. Indeed, the mechanical components of the vehicle might have their properties altered due to fatigue process, for example. The impacts of the property evolution in the car dynamics might induce undesirable passenger's discomfort up to the vehicle performance lost. The results showed that the time of use of the spring influences the displacement of the vehicle, due to the loss of stiffness, thus affecting its stability.
A SIR Model with Spatially Distributed Multiple Populations Interactions for Disease Dissemination
Authors: Marques J. C. , Cezaro A. De , Lazo M. J.
Published: March 2022

In this contribution we analyze a discretized SIR (Susceptible, Infectious, and Removed) compartmental model, to investigate the role of individual interactions in the spread of diseases.  The compartments S_{i, j}, I_{i,j} and R_{i, j} (i, j, = 1,2, ..., n) are spatially distributed in a two-dimensional n x n network. We assume that the dynamics follow the well-known SIR-like iteration within the population in each (i,j) site. Moreover, the dynamics are enriched by considering a multi-population interaction following a Gaussian spatial distribution. Therefore, the mobility of individuals between distinct networks is measured from the width alpha of the Gaussian distribution. The interaction of individuals between distinct sites, responsible for the contagion between different populations, is assumed to occur in a time interval smaller than a fixed interval $h$ so that, the total population in each site (i, j), given by N_{i, j} =S_{i, j} + I_{i, j} + R_{i, j}, remained constant (for example, individual leaves his home site (i, j) to work at a neighboring site and returns to his home in a time interval less than h ). We numerically explore some scenarios of population interaction, based on distinct choices of width alpha, that include a hypothetically rapidly closedness and reopening of the economy. The results found show interesting dynamics in the infected population due to the interaction parameter alpha(t) between the populations. Finally, the model can be applied to evaluate the spread of diseases such as COVID-19 enabling decision making in different contexts.

The food processing industry was reviewed as a top priority for industrial development and targeted to lead greater growth in Malaysia’s Industrial Masterplan (NIMP). Leading to industrial development, this paper highlighted the relationship between innovative activities (R&D expenditure and ICT expenditure) and productivity with other variables like the presence of skill intensity, capital intensity, export intensity, foreign-owned firms and imported intermediate input. This hypothesis is examined for a panel dataset of the food processing industry in Malaysia from 2000 until 2015 (according to Economic Census- Manufacturing). Using a System Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) approach, empirical analysis suggests that innovators performed better than non-innovators in terms of labour productivity. Innovative activity and ICT expenditure along with skilled intensity and capital intensity seem to be the main determinants of subsector’s productivity, whereas R&D expenditure has mixed results from the estimation output.

The role of herbal preparations in ameliorating neurodegenerative disorders has been increasing due to their significant contribution towards health, wellness and therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect of ethanolic extract of Moringa concanensis nimmo (EEMC), ethanolic extract of Sesbania grandiflora (EESG) and their combination (MCSG-CE) prepared using 1:1 ratio of their ethanolic extracts for their neuroprotective effect against 6-Hydroxy dopamine (6-OHDA) induced parkinsonism in rats. Wistar albino rats were allocated into 8 groups (n = 6) and treated as follows: Gp-I: Vehicle control- 1% v/v Tween 80; Gp-II: Positive control- 6-OHDA (8μg/2μl/rat); Gp- III: 6-OHDA+levodopa (6mg/kg, p.o); Gp-IV: 6-OHDA+EEMC-I (100 mg/kg, p.o.); Gp-V: 6-OHDA+EEMC-II (200 mg/kg, p.o.) and Gp-VI: 6-OHDA+ EESG-I (100 mg/kg, p.o.); Group-VII: 6-OHDA+EESG-II (200 mg/kg, p.o.) and Gp-VIII: 6-OHDA+MCSG-CE (100 mg/kg, p.o.). All the animals were exposed to respective treatments for seven days after disease induction and then subjected to catalepsy (forelimb placing) test, Rotarod test and Morris-water maze test. The treated groups exhibited significant activity in reducing the catalepsy severity score, increasing the fall-off time and decrease in the escape latency time. The findings of this study indicated that Moringa concanensis and Sesbania grandiflora exhibit remarkable neuroprotective potential and ameliorate major symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Keywords: Parkinson’s Disease, 6-Hydroxy dopamine, Catalepsy, Moringa concanensis, Sesbania grandiflora.

New mononuclear mixed ligand Cadmium(II) complexes of the type [Cd(L)(diimine)] (1,2) [where L = 2-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenylpropylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide; diimine = 2,2’-bipyridine (1), 1,10-phenanthroline (2)] have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, UV-Visible, and1H and 13CNMR Spectroscopy. From the investigations of spectral data, it is evident that the heterocyclic bases (2,2’-bipyridine and 1,10-Phenanthroline) act as neutral bidentate ligand coordinating to the metal ion through two nitrogen donor atoms addition to azomethane nitrogen, thiolate Sulphur, and hydroxyl oxygen in the Schiff base ligand. The synthesized Schiff base metal chelates have been screened for their anti-microbial activities using the agar well diffusion method against different selected types of bacteria and fungi in addition to antioxidant activity. The prepared Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes exhibited good antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The antibacterial and antifungal efficacy of Complex-1 was higher than that of all the prepared compounds. In the case of antioxidant activity, Complex-2 has stronger scavenging activity among them. Keywords: Cd (II) metal complexes, 2,2’-Bipyridine, 1,10-Phenanthroline, Antimicrobial activities.

Hydrosols (HYDs) have attracted a great interest this last decade by the scientific community. Although, studies about HYDs remain limited compared to those dealt with essential oils (EOs). These magic waters have found a huge interest in the cosmetic, food and phytotherapeutic industries. Their biological activities have not yet been assessed. The aim of this present work was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of three HYDs and to compare this activity to that of EOs from Mentha species facing some bacteria strains that caused various human diseases and infections. M. pulegium, M. suaveolens and M. spicata were collected from Azrou (Moroccan Middle-Atlas). Their EOs and HYDs were tested on six bacteria strains: S. aureus, E. coli BLSE, E. coli (wild-type), Ps. aeruginosa, Ps. putida, and P. mirabilis, using the micro-dilution and agar diffusion methods. The chemical compositions of three HYDs were different from the EOs; they were rich in hydrophilic and oxygenated compounds and lack in hydrocarbon constituents. The qualitative evaluation of the antimicrobial activity showed strong power for all the tested EOs by highlighting zones of inhibition with diameters exceeding 20 mm, thus showing significant sensitivity of the treated bacteria. These results were confirmed by quantifying this activity by MIC and MBC values, thus demonstrating their antibacterial power. As for HYDs, they have also shown their inhibitory efficacy against certain strains. Consequently, these promising results could serve as a basis to confirm the efficacy of these natural products and their ability to serve as alternative antimicrobial agents. Keywords: Mentha, Essential oil, Hydrosol, Bacteria, Antibacterial activity.
