Published: October 2024

Metastasis to the heart is uncommon compared to other organs, posing notable diagnostic challenges. Incidence in autopsy studies typically ranges between 0.7% and 3.5%. Lung, breast, and hematologic cancers are the main sources of such metastases, leading to varied clinical presentations and severe complications. Postmortem viscera from a 47 year old male with a suspected history of jaundice. Only limited information was available. Gross examination showed a solid mass in the gall bladder with areas of hemorrhage and necrosis, while no other abnormalities were observed in other viscera received. Brain examination showed congested blood vessels, while heart sections exhibited atypical cell deposits in the pericardium and myocardium. Coronary arteries displayed pathological thickening. Lung and liver sections also displayed similar metastatic atypical cell deposits, infiltrating tissue and causing necrosis. Gall bladder examination revealed irregular glandular formations lined with polygonal tumor cells positive for cytokeratin. The final diagnosis based on histomorphological features and immunohistochemistry confirmed gall bladder adenocarcinoma metastasising to the heart, liver and lungs.

Published: October 2024

Lip prints are lines, also known as grooves and fissures, on the skin that form at the junction of the labial mucosa and the lip's exterior surface. The study of these lip prints is known as chelioscopy. They are known to follow a pattern, which has been classified into multiple categories by various experts. Suzuki & Tsuchihashi's classification proved to be the most popular. They are also noted for having a few distinguishing characteristics that aid in determining a person's personality. The current study was conducted to examine quadrant-wise patterns and differences between males and females. In our study, the most prevalent lip print in males was type I (32.91%), followed by type 3 (22.50%).  In females, type 1 was the most common (39.16%), followed by type 3 (20%). Study found significant variations between males and females in lower lip print patterns.

This study explores the effectiveness of traditional and technological methods in vocabulary acquisition among intermediate-level English learners. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative data from pre-tests, weekly exams, and post-tests with qualitative insights gathered from surveys and interviews. Over a six-week period, 30 students participated in lessons utilizing both traditional teacher-led instruction and technological tools such as mobile apps and digital flashcards. The results revealed that while the traditional group showed steady but moderate improvement, the technological group experienced more rapid and significant gains in vocabulary retention. Interviews with participants highlighted the strengths and challenges of both methods, emphasizing the need for a blended learning approach. This study suggests that combining traditional and technological methods can offer a more comprehensive and effective learning experience, catering to diverse learner preferences and enhancing overall vocabulary retention.
A SEMIOTIC STUDY OF CARICATURE: THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN AMERICA AND CHINA
Authors:   Ministry of Education/University of Babylon/Iraq, Allawi Asst.Lect. Sundus Hussein
Published: October 2024

Visual communication is a compound process, which requires broad knowledge of semiotics. Semiotics is the education of signs and symbols. In what way these signs and symbols are interpreted is studied under semiotics. It has many concealed signs and connotations, for example: brand name, logo, package design, color, punch line and trade mark, etc. The present study presents one of the most significant philosophies and replicas of visual social semiotics, namely, Kress and van Leeuwen’s "Grammar of Visual Design". It involves the description of semiotic resources, what can be said and done with images (and other visual means of communication) and how things people say and do with images can be interpreted. Thus, the communicative values of signs in a caricature are a portrait with the volume turned up. A caricature is a painting, or more commonly a picture, of an object or item in which the characteristics and structure have been blurred and exaggerated to ridicule or satirize the topic. Thus the current study aims at studying some caricatures nonverbally through analyzing the image and colours of it. The study tackles semiotics; specifically social semiotics, caricature, the elements of analyzing caricature, which are: image, word, and colour. The first part carries on the introduction of the current study as well as tackling the problem of the study, the literature review of semiotics in general and social semiotics in particular. The second part carries on the data and its analysis through the model, as well as the visual results, finally, giving the conclusion.

Authors:   Asst. Lect., College of Education for Humanities, Department of English, Iraq, Dulaimy Ahmed Jamil Sulaiman Al
Published: October 2024

Colour carries a psychologically relevant meaning, and the colours we see affect our psychological performance. Colour-coding impacts learners’ cognitive processing as material-oriented interventions in multimedia learning. For educational purposes, colours can be used to stimulate neural activity, allowing pupils to learn, memorize, and retain new information more efficiently. Especially for those who are visual learners, the brighter the colours are, the more they are able to capture the attention for particular types of information. (Elliot and Maier: 2012). Colour-Coding Strategy can help pupils make connections, gain knowledge and have a positive impact on attention inside the classroom. So it is not a kind of fun. Using such a strategy in teaching and learning grammar can be as simple as just asking your pupils to take out their booklets and colouring pens and markers. The current research focuses on determining the effectiveness of using colour-coding as a better tool for learning sentence structure at the primary level. In light of the aim, the research’s null hypothesis has been formulated to be tested. The design of one group has been adopted, pre and post-tests used. The sample includes (32) female pupils who are randomly selected from Qubat Al Sakhrah primary school in Mosul city.

This study investigates the application of sentiment analysis to customer feedback in the banking sector, utilizing natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning models to classify customer sentiments into positive, neutral, and negative categories. Feedback was sourced from online platforms, including bank websites, social media, and third-party review sites. Data preprocessing steps, such as tokenization, stemming, and feature extraction using TF-IDF, were employed to prepare the text for analysis. Various machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Naïve Bayes, were implemented and evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results show that LSTM outperformed all models with a 91% accuracy, followed closely by SVM at 89%. These findings demonstrate the potential of advanced machine learning techniques in accurately classifying sentiments and provide valuable insights into customer satisfaction and areas for improvement within the banking sector. Future work aims to further optimize models for better classification of neutral feedback and explore more advanced deep learning models, such as BERT.

The spatial variability of quantitative indicators of prokaryotes and virus-like particles in the waters of three Arctic fjords was studied in connection with the structure of their dominant water masses in the summer. A comparison of the abundance and biomass of prokaryotes showed that their average value in mesotrophic surface waters (0.60 million cells/ml and 28.64 mg/m3, respectively) exceeded the values in deeper oligotrophic waters – intermediate (0.33 million cells/ml and 16.82 mg/m3) and winter (0.32 million cells/ml and 19.72 mg/m3). The abundance of virus-like particles in different trophic conditions positively correlated with the parameters of prokaryotic communities and in the isolated water masses averaged 1.01 million, 0.09 million and 1.31 million per ml respectively. The factors determining the distribution of the most abundant representatives of the microbial food web and the nature of their interaction are considered.

Authors:   Murmansk Marine Biological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Gudimov Alexander V.
Published: October 2024

Methods for bioindication of early climate impacts in the marine ecosystem are unknown and being developed for the first time. The high rate of changes in the littoral barnacle Semibalanus balanoides (L.) populations is of key importance for bioindication. Mass mortality and significant decrease in the abundance over 1–3 years were observed in estuaries only and mainly associated with an increase of spring floods during the period of ongoing climate warming in the Arctic. The survival of the juveniles appeared in 2023 (up to 8000 sp/m2) fully depends on further climate changes.

Published: October 2024

As a part of a marine expedition on the R/V «Dalnye Zelentsy» along the western coast of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, an assessment of megabenthic species diversity and biomass in bycatch of trawl was carried out in August 2023 specimens of 29 taxa belonging to 6 phyla were identified during the survey. The highest species diversity (20 species) was recorded in the northern coastal area of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, where the dominant forms in terms of biomass were sea urchins Strongylocentrotus pallidus – 237.1 kg/km2. A tendency for a 5-fold decrease in megabenthos species diversity and a decrease in the average biomass of organisms – from 17.2 to 0.47 kg/km2 was detected with transition from north to south. The association of sea urchins S. pallidus and brittle stars Gorgonocephalus sp. (84 % biomass share of representatives in bycatch) is identified in the north of the study area, which is replaced by the association of sea urchins S. pallidus and crustaceans Chionoecetes opilio (74.6 %) when moving to the south. According to the results of the RDA analysis, the effects of trawl fishing and type of water mass have the greatest impact on species diversity and biomass of megabenthic organisms. Trawling intensity, type of water mass, and sediment characteristics explain 75 % of the observed variability in these biological parameters.

ANALYSIS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF USING AN AUTONOMOUS MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND REGISTRATION OF THE ASSESSMENT OF THE LEVEL OF PROTECTION OF THE ARMOURED VEHICLE CREW
Authors: Kuzmich О. , Arkushenko P. , Andrushko М. , Sadaiev A.
Published: October 2024

In the context of large-scale armed aggression by the Russian Federation and growing losses from mine injuries, there is a significant need to obtain objective information about the level of protection provided by military armoured vehicles. At the same time, Ukrainian defence enterprises are constantly working to develop the latest methods to improve the protection of vehicle crews from the threat of mines and explosives. There is an acute problem and an essential need to quickly improve the mine resistance of standard models of armoured vehicles and, as a result, the need to quickly determine the effectiveness of the measures taken and make engineering decisions. The basis for the development of modern mine protection equipment should be to identify the impact of the shock wave not only on the vehicle structure, but primarily on the crew members. It is possible to evaluate the results, conduct comprehensive research and provide reasonable recommendations for further work only on the basis of the results of tests (experimental physical modelling) during which physical factors affecting the crew are measured.
It is impossible to carry out the necessary measurements without the use of modern sensors (sensors) in conjunction with an information and measurement system that will ensure the reception, processing and registration of information. The main criteria for selecting sensors are sensitivity, resolution, linearity, frequency response, temperature response, noise level and long-term stability.
METHOD OF RECOGNITION OF FPV-UAV RADIO SIGNALS FORMED ACCORDING TO CROSSFIRE AND EXPRESSLRS STANDARDS
Authors: Nahorniuk O.
Published: October 2024

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with the First Person View (FPV) system are the most common type of attack UAVs used at the tactical level by the armed forces of the russian federation. Timely detection of facts of their using by the enemy and countering them are important tasks solved by units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. An effective countermeasure way for FPV-UAVs is to create interference in their radio control channels frequency bands. To increase the radio suppression range, it is necessary to use interference matched in frequency and structure, the necessary condition for the formation of which is the presence of a priori information about the structure of the radio signal. Analysis of the available information on the construction of enemy FPV-UAVs shows that their radio control and telemetry channels are usually combined, have time division multiple access, the signals are formed according to CrossFire and ExpressLRS standards and have fixed sets of parameter values that can be used as features in recognition. The proposed FPV-UAV radio signal recognition technique is based on decision tree and minimum metric methods and uses a priori information on frequency, time and modulation parameters of radio signals. The combination of the two decision-making methods made it possible to reduce the computational complexity by eliminating operations for determining the parameters of radio signals that do not correspond to the decisions taken at the previous stages, and provides the possibility of adding new time parameters without changing the developed recognition technique. The method consists of a sequence of operations for estimation radio signal parameters, comparing them with known values, making decisions about the type of standard and command- telemetry radio line operation mode. Only one fragment with a duration of one frequency element is sufficient to recognize the FPV-UAV radio signal, which reduces the technical requirements for detection means in which the method can be used.

For the first time, a study of eight Eucyclops species widespread in the Palearctic was conducted on several genes (COI, 12S rRNA, ITS1-2 and 18S rRNA). The topology of species on the obtained phylogenetic trees generally coincides with all genes, but does not always correspond to existing concept about the current state of taxonomy and systematics of the genus. High genetic heterogeneity within species has been revealed. Each of the studied species is represented by several genetic lines, which, according to the level of nucleotide differences, correspond to a subspecies, and sometimes to a species level. The reasons for the spread of the genetic lines identified in the work are discussed.

The ongoing climatic changes and human activities have a significant impact on the ecosystems of the Kolyma River valley. Analysis of materials of R. E. Trufanova of 1966–1969 on aquatic vascular plants of water bodies of the lower reaches of the Kolyma River, original data and field observations in 2020 and multi-temporal satellite images showed that during more than 50 years there were a number of changes in the vegetation cover of water bodies. Thus, 5 species reported earlier have not been recorded now, however, 7 species were collected there for the first time. Two species (Ceratophyllum demersum and Potamogeton praelongus), which were notable in the vegetation cover previously, have not been found. Most of the water bodies have shallowed and got at the successional “old” stage. It is shown that the greatest diversity of aquatic plants is characteristic of water bodies at the stage of “mature” and “old with a single water mirror”. If the trends continue, most of the studied water bodies will continue unidirectional aging and overgrowing, which will be accompanied by a decrease in species diversity.

Authors: Wibowo Ilham Gema , Setijaningsih Herlin Tundjung
Published: October 2024

The financial sector system is unlawfully used for money laundering, which causes massive losses for the state and country. An essential component of successfully combating money laundering is regulatory technology (RegTech). This study aims to investigate the impact of implementing Electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC), transaction monitoring (TM), cost and time efficiencies (CTE), regulatory compliance (RC), and technology information infrastructure (ITI), in money laundering preventing (MLP) in the banking sector in Indonesia. A quantitative method is used to explore the interplay of variables. The research sample consists of 50 owners of BRI Link agents. Data analysis is conducted using a linear regression model. The study's findings underscore the significant influence of TM, CTE, RC, and ITI on the effectiveness of PML, with CTE emerging as the most influential driver. Despite a moderately positive correlation among these factors, the e-KYC provided by regulatory technology (RegTech) does not exert a substantial impact on MLP. The implications of this research suggest that the adoption of RegTech, positively contributes to MLP efforts in banking institutions, highlighting the importance of utilizing technology and regulations to enhance Anti Money Laundry (AML) measures.

Published: October 2024

In
Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage
III–IV and
Cain
, Byron, as Nietzsche remarks, outlines an “übermenschlich” sense of Promethean identity in his confrontation of the tragedy of poetry. The travel narrative of Harold, the tragic history of Venice, and Cain’s pursuit of divine status each fictionalize a visionary mode in which Byron illustrates a fragmentary identity tortured by poetic achievement. The series of moral riddles on knowledge, poetry, and truth that Byron navigates in these poems move from the artistic sphere of his career to an existential discourse on whether Byron the Promethean poet can outdo mortality.

Authors: Masiero Joseph R. , Linder Tyler , Mainzer Amy , Dahlen Dar W. , Kwon Yuna G.
Published: October 2024

Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor will detect asteroids and comets using mid-infrared thermal emission, however ground-based followup resources will require knowledge of the expected visible light brightness in order to plan characterization observations. Here we describe the range of visual-to-infrared colors that the NEOs detected by Surveyor will span, and demonstrate that for objects that have no previously reported Visual band observations, estimates of the Johnson Visual-band brightness based on infrared flux alone will have significant uncertainty. Incidental or targeted photometric followup of objects discovered by Surveyor enables predictions of the fraction of reflected light visible and near-infrared wavelengths, supporting additional detailed characterization.

Published: October 2024

During a survey by the National Tropical Botanical Garden drone team, an enigmatic Schiedea was observed in December 2021on steep, rocky cliff faces of the Waiahulu Valley in the Waimea Canyon of Kaua'i. Subsequently, another survey was conducted in March 2022 and, by use of a remotely controlled cutting device suspended below the drone, the first herbarium specimen was collected, as well as a seed collection of an undescribed cliff-dwelling species of Schiedea. Detailed study of the collections and plants grown at the University of California, Irvine greenhouse showed that it had enlarged, somewhat whitish sepals similar to those of cliff-dwelling S. attenuata (the sole species in sect. Leucocalyx), yet differed significantly from all other species in the genus. It also shares with S. attenuata a woody habit, hermaphroditic flowers, coloured nectar and styles 5 to 7 or 8. We describe it here as S. waiahuluensis given the only known localities are on the cliffs of this valley and place it in an enlarged sect. Leucocalyx. With the discovery of this new species, there are 36 species in this Hawaiian endemic genus.

The ocean remains a reservoir of unknown biodiversity, particularly in the deep sea. Chemosynthesis-based ecosystems, such as hydrothermal vents and hydrocarbon seeps, host unique and diverse life forms that continue to be discovered and described. The present study focuses on patelliform gastropods (limpets) collected from Pacific Costa Rica Margin hydrocarbon seeps during three research cruises from 2017 to 2019. Genetic and morphological analyses revealed the presence of several new lineages within the genera Bathyacmaea Okutani, Tsuchida & Fujikura,1992, Cocculina Dall, 1882, Paralepetopsis McLean, 1990, and the family Lepetodrilidae McLean, 1988: Bathyacmaea levinaesp. nov., Paralepetopsis variabilissp. nov., Pseudolepetodrilus costaricensisgen. et sp. nov., and Cocculina methanasp. nov. These investigations also expanded the known ranges of the species Pyropelta corymba McLean, 1992 and Lepetodrilus guaymasensis McLean, 1988 to the Costa Rica Margin. This research highlights the uniqueness of gastropod fauna at the Costa Rica Margin and contributes to our understanding of the biodiversity at chemosynthesis-based deep-sea ecosystems in the face of global biodiversity loss and increased commercial interest in deep-sea resources.

Authors: Pegg Samantha , Peters Amy T.
Published: October 2024

Although prevalence rates of substance use in adolescence have remained steady or declined in recent years, there is a concerning increase in overdose deaths in the last decade. Given the significant burden associated with substance use disorders, systematic screening and assessment are important to identify substance use risk and diagnose substance use disorders. Youth with mood disorders are at an increased risk of developing a substance use disorder. Understanding risk factors is critical to effective screening and assessment as well as early identification and intervention. In the present review, we discuss current research on risk factors of comorbid substance use disorders in youth with mood disorders and provide a brief review of commonly used screening and assessment tools for use with adolescents. Finally, we conclude with considerations for next steps following screening and assessment of comorbid substance use disorders in youth with mood disorders.

Interventions to Enhance Neurocognition for Common Mental Disorders: A Brief Review
Authors: Zainal Nur Hani
Published: October 2024

Neurocognition, particularly executive functioning (EF), is crucial in psychiatric treatments due to its complex relationship with psychopathology. Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) show potential in enhancing neurocognitive functions (eg, inhibition, set-shifting, and working memory). Post-CBT changes in brain activation have been observed in regions such as the anterior cingulate cortex and middle frontal gyrus. Although CBTs improve attention and EF in various populations, they are less effective for traumatic brain injury patients. Mindfulness-based psychotherapies also enhance neurocognitive domains, especially in psychiatric populations. Tailored delivery methods, such as face-to-face sessions, may optimize therapeutic outcomes. EF and cognitive training are beneficial for those with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Integrating CBT with physical exercise can produce synergistic effects on neurocognition. Pharmacotherapies, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, offer modest neurocognitive improvements by optimizing neurotransmitter pathways. Clear communication of intervention strengths and limitations is vital for managing patient expectations and enhancing care by targeting clinical, functional, and neurocognitive outcomes.

Frontières du discours indirect en latin : syntaxe et énonciation
Authors: Sznajder Lyliane
Published: October 2024

On s’intéressera dans cette étude aux problèmes de délimitation et d’attribution des propos dans le discours indirect (DI) : comment savoir qui parle quand les sources sont multiples ? comment s’établit le partage des responsabilités entre le narrateur et le ou les auteurs de propos cités, ou entre les divers locuteurs cités ? quels critères peuvent aider à cette identification ? Au plan syntaxique et syntagmatique, quelles sont les situations d’imbrication entre propos citant et propos cité propres aux infinitives d’une part (propositions aux frontières transparentes) et aux subordonnées conjonctives de l’autre (propositions aux frontières opaques) ? Quels sont les paramètres et les étapes qui mèneront à l’élimination progressive des infinitives transparentes au profit des complétives opaques en qu- ?
Les formes atypiques du discours rapporté aux xviie et xviiie siècles
Authors: Charles Lise
Published: October 2024

Cet article examine les libertés que prend le discours rapporté sous l’Ancien Régime. À cette époque, le discours rapporté est encore assez peu théorisé, peu codifié, et il est donc difficile de savoir quelle est la norme qui fixe le type, le modèle idéal, et de déterminer si la notion même de discours atypique a un sens. Nous nous interrogeons sur les critères qui permettent d’évaluer le caractère transgressif ou non de tel ou tel usage : pour le dire autrement, où est-il légitime de voir un effet de style ?
La narration graphique de l’enfant à l’œuvre dans le processus d’acquisition de la lecture-écriture : quelles compétences dialogiques à l’école primaire ?
Authors: Maizonnier-Payelle Élisabeth
Published: October 2024

L’enfant peut accéder à une action raisonnée en progressant dans la maîtrise du geste graphique, en tant que prémices du langage plastique et gestuel, grâce à l’éducation artistique, entre autres, à l’école primaire. Deux expériences menées en observation participante selon une approche anthropologique, à partir de la « pédagogie d’initiation » de Germaine Tortel (1896-1975), manifestent la prise de conscience collective de l’être au monde. Une certaine forme de relation à ou d’être avec partagée par le comitatus enfantin (assemblée enfantine) génère un (des) espace(s) d’interlocution en fonction de la maîtrise du langage de l’enfant handicapé ou non. Les tracés du corps dans l’espace et l’acquisition des repères spatio-temporels vécus dans l’espace environnant peuvent être conjointement des étapes vers la relation à la lecture et à l’écriture à travers l’acquisition de compétences dialogiques diversifiées à partir de la narration graphique enfantine.

Le catalogue entre réécriture et commentaire. Le catalogue des héroïnes de la Nekyia dans les scholies homériques, chez Virgile et chez Servius
Authors: Toledo Marie de
Published: October 2024

L’analyse du catalogue des héroïnes du chant 11 de l’Odyssée, du catalogue des victimes de l’amour du chant 6 de l’Énéide, et des commentaires respectifs à ces deux passages dans les scholies homériques et chez Servius permet de distinguer trois types de relations entre catalogues, textes poétiques et textes critiques. Le catalogue est un objet privilégié pour la réécriture comme pour le commentaire ; il constitue un lieu d’interactions nombreuses et variées entre les traditions poétiques et savantes ; il apparaît plus généralement comme une forme commune aux pratiques métalittéraires. Ces observations renforcent l’hypothèse selon laquelle la forme du catalogue structure les rapports entre les textes anciens.
Nota cano : adjectifs dénotant la célébrité et innovation narrative chez Ovide
Authors: Delalande Juliette
Published: October 2024

Cet article s’intéresse à l’emploi des adjectifs dénotant la célébrité d’un personnage ou d’une histoire dans la poésie ovidienne. À partir du constat que ces adjectifs font référence à la tradition littéraire et ont donc un sens intertextuel, il propose une typologie de leurs effets allusifs. Ces adjectifs peuvent souligner la fidélité du poète à un modèle et conférer à un passage l’autorité d’une tradition ancienne et bien établie ; ils peuvent aussi camoufler un élément nouveau du récit en prétendant qu’il est déjà renommé.
Comment lire Mais où sont passés les Indo-Européens ? de l’archéologue Jean-Paul Demoule ?
Authors: Richer Hamidou
Published: October 2024

Cet article présente la lecture critique d’un récent ouvrage de l’archéologue Jean-Paul Demoule. Ce dernier prétend réformer l’étude des langues indo-européennes en contestant l’idée d’une « parenté » entre ces langues, au profit de communautés linguistiques qui se seraient mutuellement influencées. Un tel postulat ferait régresser la grammaire comparée au niveau où elle était au xixe siècle, avant le tournant des néogrammairiens. Il faut donc regretter que M. Demoule n’ait pas limité ses critiques aux seules études consacrées à l’idée d’un « peuple » indo-européen.
Sobre el impacto judicial de la concepción racionalista de la prueba
Authors: Coloma Rodrigo , Larroucau Jorge , Páez Andrés
Published: October 2024

La literatura sobre razonamiento probatorio busca incidir en la determinación de los hechos en los procesos judiciales. Para alcanzar dicho propósito, no basta con dirigir la mirada hacia disciplinas extrajurídicas exitosas e integrar lo que de ellas pueda extraerse a las teorías jurídicas de la prueba y a la práctica judicial. Es necesario, además, considerar el tipo de hechos a probar, los roles de las reglas jurídicas aplicables, y asumir que litigantes y jueces, actuando en un contexto institucional, podrán ser más o menos agudos en la discusión fáctica, entre otras cosas. Minimizar la influencia de tales factores expone a los estudios probatorios a tener un bajo rendimiento práctico. Algo de esto ha ocurrido con la llamada concepción racionalista de la prueba. Su innegable aporte al debate académico en español no ha ido a la par de su impacto judicial. Para explicar esta brecha entre teoría y práctica, identificamos tres creencias-obstáculo que afectan a su discurso sobre la prueba y que deben ser sorteadas si lo que se busca es influir en la forma en que se juzgan los hechos en un sistema judicial realmente existente.
« À boire pour le roi ! »
Authors: Bouillon Hélène
Published: October 2024

This article examines images of the pharaoh raising a cup. This iconography appears briefly during the reign of Akhenaten and then during the Ramessid period. Rare in Egypt, representations of kings holding a cup are traditional in the Ancient Near East, from the Uruk period onwards. To understand how and why this posture was shortly applied to the Egyptian king, the author explores archaeological and textual resources.
De l’antiquité vénérable des repas sacrés
Authors: Bonneterre Daniel
Published: October 2024

In an analytical approach of three Mesopotamian myths (Lugalbanda and the Cavern, Adapa, and Ishtar’s Descent to the Nether World), the author deduces similarities which help to enlighten a central role played by food offerings. They all three refer to cultic duties: care and feeding of the gods, and satisfying the spirits of the dead. In a broader frame, it appears that these three stories are not only divided into three spheres (heaven, earth and nether world), but they also promote heroic figures dragged down into a cavern, into the depths of the sea or into the darkness, in order to revivify and become the ultimate actor in rituals and cookery.
Food for the Divine in Hittite Anatolia
Authors: Mouton Alice
Published: October 2024

The Hittite religious texts (Anatolia of the 16th-12th centuries BCE) illustrate the preference of the Thousand Gods of Hatti for meat. In that category of food offering, fish constitutes a special case, as it occurs most frequently in Kizzuwatnian or Hurrian purification rituals. Fish may be burned entirely in ritual contexts combining substitution rites and food offerings to the gods, or its blood can be sacrificed as a zurki rite.
The Raw, the Cooked, and the Immolated
Authors: Teeter Emily
Published: October 2024

This article discusses the preparation of meat offerings in the effort to more fully understand its practical aspects. The author notes challenges in determining whether meat offerings were raw or cooked, or roasted versus burnt, but concludes that most of the offerings in temple rituals were raw, perhaps because of their later distribution to the temple staff, but also to avoid the labor and fuel required to cook it. Because a single steer produced enormous quantities of meat, the excess was preserved and distributed or sold outside the temple to financially support the institution. Although immolated offerings are traditionally thought to be introduced in the Ptolemaic era, examples are cited from the Archaic Period and Old Kingdom. The symbolic association of the act of burning food with the destruction of enemies (Vernichtungsritual) is traced back to the Middle Kingdom when what had been a funerary ritual was adopted and adapted for temple cult.
