The problem of levee embankment control during high flows is crucial for flood risk management in floodplains. Levee defense lines are often hundreds of kilometers long and surveys during emergencies are not easy tasks. For these reasons, levees monitored with in situ sensors and a suitable Information Technology (IT) real-time data communication and integration infrastructure, so-called “smart levees”, are gaining increasing interest as a crucial protection technology in floodplains. The paper presents the conceptualization of a prototype of a levee smart revetment, based on the integration of an optical fiber (OF) cable into a steel double-twisted wire mesh. In this paper the feasibility of this kind of revetment is firstly assessed. The flow pattern of overtopping water on the embankment is discussed, thus producing a raw estimation of the shear stress acting on the revetment in the field. A sample case is then analyzed in both numerical and laboratory tests. For this purpose, a numerical Finite Element Model (FEM) to describe the mechanical behavior of a double-twisted wire mesh when loaded along its own plane is presented. Numerical results indicate that the related strain, relatively low as compared to the steel wire yield stress, can be fully detected by the optical fiber continuous Brillouin sensor. This has been validated by the experimental activity performed and a digital twin of the prototype of the smart revetment, suitable for virtually testing the product under any load and constraint conditions and tailoring the production process, has been created.
Investigating River Water/Groundwater Interaction along a Rivulet Section by 222Rn Mass Balancing
Authors: Schubert Michael , Knoeller Kay , Mueller Christin , Gilfedder Benjamin
Published: October 2020

Investigation of river water/groundwater interaction aims generally at: (i) localizing water migration pathways; and (ii) quantifying water and associated matter exchange between the two natural water resources. Related numerical models generally rely on model-specific parameters that represent the physical conditions of the catchment and suitable aqueous tracer data. A generally applicable approach for this purpose is based on the finite element model FINIFLUX that is using the radioactive noble gas radon-222 as naturally occurring tracer. During the study discussed in this paper, radon and physical stream data were used with the aim to localize and quantify groundwater discharge into a well-defined section of a small headwater stream. Besides site-specific results of two sampling campaigns, the outcomes of the study reveal: (i) the general difficulties of conducting river water/groundwater interaction studies in small and heterogeneous headwater catchments; and (ii) the particular challenge of defining well constrained site- and campaign-specific values for both the groundwater radon endmember and the radon degassing coefficient. It was revealed that determination of both parameters should be based on as many data sources as possible and include a critical assessment of the reasonability of the gathered and used datasets. The results of our study exposed potential limitations of the approach if executed in small and turbulent headwater streams. Hence, we want to emphasize that the project was not only executed as a case study at a distinct site but rather aimed at evaluating the applicability of the chosen approach for conducting river water/groundwater interaction studies in heterogeneous headwater catchments.
Prediction of Streamflow Based on Dynamic Sliding Window LSTM
Authors: Dong Limei , Fang Desheng , Wang Xi , Wei Wei , Damaševičius Robertas , Scherer Rafał , Woźniak Marcin
Published: October 2020

The streamflow of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River exhibits different timing and periodicity characteristics in different quarters and months of the year, which makes it difficult to predict. Existing sliding window-based methods usually use a fixed-size window, for which the window size selection is random, resulting in large errors. This paper proposes a dynamic sliding window method that reflects the different timing and periodicity characteristics of the streamflow in different months of the year. Multiple datasets of different months are generated using a dynamic window at first, then the long-short term memory (LSTM) is used to select the optimal window, and finally, the dataset of the optimal window size is used for verification. The proposed method was tested using the hydrological data of Zhutuo Hydrological Station (China). A comparison between the flow prediction data and the measured data shows that the prediction method based on a dynamic sliding window LSTM is more accurate by 8.63% and 3.85% than the prediction method based on fixed window LSTM and the dynamic sliding window back-propagation neural network, respectively. This method can be generally used for the time series data prediction with different periodic characteristics.
Buckley–Leverett Theory for Two-Phase Immiscible Fluids Flow Model with Explicit Phase-Coupling Terms
Authors: Guérillot Dominique , Kadiri Mostafa , Trabelsi Saber
Published: October 2020

The theory of two-phase immiscible flow in porous media is based on the extension of single phase models through the concept of relative permeabilities. It mimics Darcy’s law for a fixed average saturation through the introduction of saturation-based permeabilities to model the momentum exchange between the phases. In this paper, we present a model of two-phase flow, based on the extension of Darcy’s law including the effect of capillary pressure, but considering in addition the coupling between the phases modeled through flow cross-terms. In this work, we extend the Buckley–Leverett theory to the subsequent model, and provide numerical experiments shading the light on the effect of the coupling cross-terms in comparison to the classical Darcy’s approach.
Recent Discoveries and Significance of Texts from inside Buddhist Statues in Korea
Authors: 송 일기
Published: October 2020

Cet article examine les textes provenant de l’intérieur des statues bouddhiques en Corée, qui ont été découverts au cours de la dernière décennie. L’auteur replace ces écrits dans le contexte de l’histoire des livres bouddhiques et de l’impression en Asie Orientale. Plusieurs commentaires sur les écritures bouddhiques, importants pour l’histoire des textes bouddhiques, ont été trouvés à l’intérieur de statues dans les monastères Songgwang 松廣寺 et Haein 海印寺. En datant les copies de l’Avataṃsaka sūtra 華 嚴 經 (Soutra de l’ornementation fleurie) issues d’une statue de Bouddha du monastère Kaeun 開運寺 entre le IXe et le Xe siècle, l’auteur conclut qu’elles sont des exemples des premières étapes des techniques d’impression. Cette découverte confirme que la copie xylographique du Mugu chŏnggwang tae tarani kyŏng 無垢凈光大陀羅尼經 (Soutra du Grand Dhâraṇī de la lumière pure immaculée), qui a été découverte à l’intérieur de la pagode de Śākyamuni (Sŏkkt’ap 釋迦塔) en Corée, est bien une production coréenne de la première moitié du VIIIe siècle.
Slaves, Village Headmen, and Aristocrats: Patronage and Functions of Buddhist Sculpture Burials in Late Koryŏ and Early Chosŏn Korea
Authors: Stiller Maya
Published: October 2020

Cet article comble une lacune dans les études religieuses en donnant un aperçu d’une pratique bouddhique dans la Corée des XIVe et XVe siècles, qui consistait, au sein des sociétés locales, à commander de petites sculptures bouddhiques en bronze doré, que l’on cachait ensuite sur les sommets des montagnes. Des études antérieures ont montré que la cour royale et les fonctionnaires du gouvernement central commanditaient des sculptures similaires ; mais, ici il s’agit de gens n’appartenant pas à l’élite centrale qui, néanmoins, étaient eux aussi les commanditaires d’un bon nombre d’entre elles. L’auteur met en évidence que des chefs de village, des aristocrates et des esclaves mettaient en commun leurs ressources pour la production et l’enterrement des sculptures. À travers une analyse du contexte spatial des enterrements, menée grâce à l’imagerie de Google Earth et des témoignages scripturaires, nous savons désormais que des groupes qui faisaient des pèlerinages à Kŭmgangsan 金剛山 pour vénérer le bodhisattva Dharmodgata (Pŏpki posal 法起菩薩) – une figure importante de la tradition du Prajñāpāramitā (Panya paramilta 般若波羅密多) – enterraient des sculptures d’Amitābha (Amit’abul 阿彌陀佛) et de ses deux assistants, Avalokiteśvara (Kwanŭm posal 觀音菩薩) et Kṣitigarbha (Chijang posal 地藏菩薩), dans la partie sommitale des collines contiguës à celle dédiée à Dharmodgata, et ceci afin de maximiser leur chance de renaître en Terre Pure. Après le retour des pèlerins au village, les sculptures enterrées offertes à Dharmodgata maintenaient ainsi leur connexion avec la divinité et permettaient aux fidèles d’acquérir en permanence des mérites. La recherche présentée dans cet article contribue à approfondir notre connaissance des pratiques religieuses locales en Corée pendant la période d’occupation mongole à la fin du royaume de Koryŏ 高 麗 (918-1392) jusqu’au début de la période du Chosŏn 朝 鮮 (1392-1910). Elle souligne, en même temps, l’importance d’étudier le placement et le contexte spatial des sculptures bouddhiques pour comprendre leur fonction rituelle.
Śrī-type Rings and Lampblack as a Medium of Seal Impression: A Note on Sealing Practices in Pre-Islamic Java
Authors: Jakl Jiri
Published: October 2020

Cet article analyse des passages de deux anciens poèmes de cour javanais (kakavin) qui approfondissent notre connaissance de l’utilisation des sceaux dans l’ancienne Asie du Sud-Est. Bien qu’ils représentent un imaginaire littéraire, ces passages reflètent deux aspects de la culture du sceau dans la Java préislamique. La lecture du kakavin Rāmāyaṇa suggère que le terme saśrī fait référence à une impression de bague-sceau sur une lettre royale ; ce type de bague pourrait être identifié avec les célèbres bagues javanaises dont les chatons sont gravés en négatif avec un emblème qui se lit śrī. Un passage de l’Arjunavivāha suggère que l’impression des sceaux avec du noir de fumée, une méthode typiquement associée à la culture islamique malaise du sceau, était déjà connue à Java au XIe siècle de notre ère, si ce n’est plus tôt.
Candi Kimpulan (Central Java, Indonesia): Architecture and Consecration Rituals of a 9th-Century Hindu Temple
Authors: Panca Putra Indung , Setyastuti Ary , Pramumijoyo Subagyo , Indrajaya Agustijanto , Sesaria Mochtar Agni , Degroot Véronique
Published: October 2020

In December 2009, remains of a small Śiva sanctuary were found buried under several metres of volcanic material in the village of Kimpulan, on the southern slope of Mount Merapi. This discovery provides us with an unexpected glimpse into the architectural tradition and the ritual life of a 9th-century Javanese rural community. Not only is Kimpulan an exceptional example of mixed-materials architecture, but its relatively good state of preservation brings new clues to a recurring issue in Javanese archaeology: the function of secondary shrines in Śaiva context. The most remarkable find of the Kimpulan excavations certainly is the eighteen undisturbed ritual deposits discovered beneath the pavement and under the statues. This article presents and discusses these data, linking the Kimpulan deposits with two rituals known from Indian texts, namely the ratnanyāsa (installation of a statue/ liṅga) and the garbhanyāsa (temple consecration).
Indian Law from a Seventh-Century Chinese Buddhist Perspective
Authors: Deeg Max
Published: October 2020

This paper will discuss the passage in the 7th-century Chinese Buddhist traveller monk Xuanzang’s “Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang (Dynasty)” on law and legal procedure in early medieval India. Xuanzang’s depiction of the Indian legal system is compared and contrasted in some detail with the information gained from the Artha-and Dharmaśāstra literature. The particular features in Xuanzang’s report which clearly differ from the śāstric literature are explained in the context of Tang China’s social and political situation. By doing so I do not only want to warn from reading the “Record” as a face-value description of India but also would like to highlight the necessity to read a specific text like the “ Record” in its immediate context which is more Chinese than Indian. Interpreted in this way Xuanzang’s record gains what it loses on the “historical” side by presenting a fascinating compilation of “facts” about a cultural other in which idealisation – the “description” of an ideal (pseudo-) Buddhist legal system – is used for the end of indirectly criticising and influencing his own social and political environment.
Sedentism, the “point of non return”, and the Natufian issue. An historical perspective
Authors: Valla F. R.
Published: October 2020

L’article décrit comment la notion de sédentarité s’est imposée progressivement dans les études natoufiennes. Dès son individualisation en 1932 par Dorothy Garrod, le Natoufien est apparu comme un paradoxe à cause de l’association de microlithes traditionnellement associés à des chasseurs-cueilleurs mobiles et de lames de faucilles qui suggéraient des champs semés et surveillés par des sédentaires en possession de céréales domestiques. Plus tard, la découverte par Jean Perrot à Ain Mallaha de constructions impressionnantes, groupées, associées à des greniers et à des sépultures, dans un contexte où la faune était entièrement sauvage et où les végétaux n’étaient pas conservés, a conduit à la notion de chasseurs-cueilleurs sédentaires en opposition au point de vue traditionnel pour qui la sédentarité était la conséquence de la domestication. Les chercheurs se sont ensuite efforcés d’intégrer cette nouvelle donne dans la théorie de la néolithisation de sorte que la sédentarité est devenue un enjeu central des études natoufiennes et que les modalités de l’occupation des sites ont été régulièrement discutées. Un rapide bilan de ces discussions s’efforce de prendre du recul par rapport à l’état des lieux. On insiste sur les difficultés rencontrées par les tentatives d’élucider les modalités de l’occupation des sites au Natoufien et sur le besoin d’examens scrupuleux dans chaque cas particulier. De plus, les origines des différents cheminements qui ont conduits à la domestication des plantes et des animaux sont encore obscures de sorte que, si l’opinion de J. Perrot semble globalement exacte, beaucoup de travail sera encore nécessaire avant qu’on comprenne comment la sédentarité est impliquée dans le processus de néolithisation.
Contextualising Beidha, Jordan, in the Southern Levantine PPNB: Communal architecture and chronology
Authors: Finlayson Bill , Makarewicz Cheryl A.
Published: October 2020

Les fouilles de Diana Kirkbride à Beidha dans le Sud de la Jordanie ont fourni des données essentielles sur l’occupation villageoise du Néolithique Pré-Céramique ancien, qui continuent à influencer profondément les recherches sur l’évolution de l’organisation sociale lors du passage d’une économie de prédation (chasse, cueillette) à une économie de production (élevage, agriculture). Les recherches plus récentes sur le Néolithique permettent une nouvelle mise en contexte de ces premiers résultats, en particulier au regard des distinctions régionales et de la longue histoire de l’occupation villageoise et du développement d’une architecture communautaire dans le Sud de la Jordanie au cours du Néolithique Pré-Céramique A. Les travaux de terrain effectués à Beidha en 2014 ont en particulier mis l’accent sur l’étude du premier bâtiment communautaire identifié sur le site, qui n’avait été jusqu’ici que partiellement fouillé par Kirkbride. Les résultats de ces nouvelles fouilles, complétés par des datations radiocarbone, nous permettent de resituer Beidha dans le contexte du Néolithique local et de mieux comprendre comment s’est développée cette société du Néolithique ancien.

Au cours du mois d’août 2014, une équipe de l’université de Toronto a effectué des sondages en trois points du bassin de Wadi Quseiba, à l’ouest d’Irbid, en Jordanie. L’un d’eux était un «site candidat » mis au jour lors de la prospection du Wadi Quseiba à Wadi al-Bir, l’un des principaux affluents de Wadi Quseiba, au cours de la saison 2013. Il révéla des traces certaines d’occupation pendant le Néolithique récent (ou Chalcolithique ancien), qui comprennent de la poterie et de l’outillage lithique en grand nombre, et du mobilier en pierre, ainsi que des couches associées, des fosses et des traces d’architecture. Les découvertes suggèrent une datation dans la seconde moitié du 6e millénaire avant J.-C., contemporaine de Tabaqat al-Bûma à Wadi Ziqlab, au sud, et des sites dans le Nord d’Israël, que les archéologues attribuent à la « culture Wadi Rabah » . Ce site, conjointement avec les nouvelles méthodes utilisées pour le découvrir, a des répercussions plus larges pour notre compréhension de l’étendue de l’occupation néolithique dans le Sud du Levant au cours du 6e millénaire avant J.-C. et la nature des paysages sociaux du Néolithique.
Pastoral Nomadism in third millennium BC Eastern Arabia: A view from Al-Zebah in Central Oman
Authors: Schmidt Conrad
Published: October 2020

This paper introduces a new model for the reconstruction of the social organisation of 3rd millennium BC Eastern Arabia and argues for a new interpretation of the major sites of this period, including Bat, Bisyah, Hili, and Al-Khashbah, as event places of pastoral nomads. The starting point for this reading are the results of three seasons of excavation carried out recently at Al-Zebah in the Sultanate of Oman. Al-Zebah is a campground of nomads and, compared to other nomadic camps known from the Ancient Near East, exceptionally well preserved.

Background

As the organ-shortage crisis continues to worsen, many patients in need of a kidney transplant have turned to social media to find a living donor. The effect of social media on living kidney donation is not known. The goal of this study is to investigate the influence of social media on those interested in donating a kidney.

Methods

Self-referrals for living kidney donation from December 2016 to March 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, sex, race, and relationship of individuals petitioned through social media (SM) were compared with those petitioned through verbal communication (VC). Data were analyzed using chi-squared tests, with z tests of column proportions, and multivariable logistic regression.

Results

A total of 7817 individuals (53% SM, 36% VC, and 10% other) were self-referred for living kidney donation. The analysis sample included 6737 adults petitioned through SM (n=3999) or VC (n=2738). Half (n=3933) of the individuals reported an altruistic relationship, and 94% of these respondents were petitioned through SM. Although univariate analyses indicated that SM respondents were younger, more likely female, more likely White, and more likely to have directed altruistic intent than those petitioned through VC (all P<0.05), multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that only decreased age, female sex, and relationship were significantly related to likelihood of SM use (all P<0.001).

Conclusions

The use of SM to petition living kidney donors is prevalent and accounts for a greater proportion of respondents compared with VC. SM respondents tend to be younger, female, and altruistic compared with VC. Directed altruistic interest in kidney donation is almost exclusively generated through SM.
The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with fungal cytoplasmic fluid obtained from Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446
Authors: Deniz Fatma , Mazmancı Mehmet Ali
Published: October 2020

Over the last few years, the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles (NPs) has become the center of attention of researchers. There are eco-friendly techniques to determine the properties of metal nanoparticles, produced by microorganisms or their cytoplasmic fluids. In the present study, fungal cytoplasmic fluid of white-rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446 was used for the biosynthesis of Ag NP. The pH value of growing media of fungi, AgNO3 concentration and fungal cytoplasmic fluid of Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446 (PC-FCF) ratio were optimized to determine the most effective conditions. The formation of Ag NPs was monitored by UV visible spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 420 nm. Synthesized Ag NPs were characterized at scanning electron microscope (SEM). Optimum conditions for the pH value, AgNO3 concentration and PC-FCF ratio were determined as 6.0, 1.50 mM and 100%, respectively. The shape and the sizes of nanoparticles, synthesized at optimum conditions, were confirmed by SEM. The shape was spherical, and the sizes were ranged from 26 to 63 nm.

Published: October 2020

The yarn quality depends on many parameters: characteristics parameters, mechanical and physical properties.
Making the hypothesis that the quality of the yarn is a multicriteria problem, in this paper, we propose a new method to
determine the Quality Yarn Index QYI based on Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP and Fuzzy theory.
A questionnaire was designed for experts of each field (weaving and knitting) to evaluate the relative importance for
each property to determine coefficients of the AHP matrix.
Results revealed that matrix coefficients changed with yarn application (weft or warp weaving and knitting)
The QYI can be used in any application, where a rapid decision is needed, to evaluate the global quality of yarn and to
make a comparison between different yarn qualities

Sustainability in the textile and clothing industry is seen as a subject of the major producers, with many brands divulging
their concern about protecting people and the environment and adopting an environmental friendly communication
approach. For companies in the textile and clothing sector (especially SMEs), the circular economy provides an
opportunity to create new profit streams, increase their resilience to volatile input costs, and support their efforts to
become completely sustainable and socially responsible.
EU textile and clothing industry needs a flexible workforce that can respond to the development and to the globalised
market and the need for sustainable design and manufacturing in order to respond to the global demand for sustainable
creative products. In this frame, it is important to have suitable tools to train the employees, to prepare them to deal with
these new challenges, to enhance their knowledge, and to develop new skills and competencies for this new type of
business. This paper introduces a new training toolkit, which will contribute to the training process of the personnel
involved in the textile and clothing industry. This toolkit contains e-learning courses in six European languages, mainly
various sources (books, video) and activities (quizzes and forums), which are uploaded and available on the Udemy
platform.
CLASSIFICATION OF LAND CAPABILITY IN MANOKWARI AREA USING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)
Authors: Fonataba Brenda , Osly Prima Jiwa , Ihsani Irfan
Published: October 2020

The Land is a natural resource that has limitations to accommodate human activities in land use. Utilization of land for residential land, regional development or, other land uses sometimes creates many environmental problems such as degradation of land quality and disturbance of natural balance. The increasing need for and competition in land use for regional development in Manokwari Regency requires careful thought in making decisions about the most beneficial use of limited land resources. Land Capability Classification is directed to determine the potential of land for broad land use based on suitable methods of use. The research variables used are nine Land Capability Units (LCU), namely LCU Morphology, LCU Slope Stability, LCU for Foundation Stability, LCU Water Availability, LCU Ease of Doing, LCU Against Erosion, LCU for Waste Disposal, LCU for Drainage and LCU for Natural Disasters. All LCU are analyzed using input in the form of factors limiting land capability consisting of maps of elevation, slope, soil type, rainfall, watershed, geology, natural disasters, and land use. The analysis produces an output in the form of a land capability classification map from the results of the digital spatial analysis process using a Geographical Information System (GIS).

Conocimiento puro y cálculo infinitesimal en el neokantismo de Hermann Cohen
Authors: Pringe Hernán
Published: October 2020

En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar uno de los aspectos centrales de la filosofía de Hermann Cohen: la relación que su Lógica del conocimiento puro establece entre el pensar puro y el cálculo infinitesimal. Mostraremos que la interpretación coheniana del cálculo se orienta a fundamentar en el pensar puro todos los elementos que Kant distingue en la intuición empírica: tanto su materia (la sensación), como su forma (el tiempo y el espacio). De tal modo, mediante el cálculo infinitesimal, Cohen buscará dar cuenta del conocimiento sin recurrir a ninguna receptividad.
La tradición del conocimiento simbólico en el pensamiento de Charles S. Peirce
Authors: Legris Javier
Published: October 2020

La existencia de puntos de contacto entre la teoría de los signos de Peirce y los argumentos de Leibniz en favor del conocimiento simbólico está fuera de duda. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en ubicar con precisión el pensamiento de Peirce dentro de la tradición del conocimiento simbólico en ciencias formales. El punto de partida es la crítica de Peirce a la noción cartesiana de intuición (alrededor de 1869), en la que se destaca el conocimiento mediante manipulación de signos. A continuación, el trabajo se concentrará en el concepto de iconicidad, tal como surge en la teoría de los signos de Peirce, y el papel que desempeña en la caracterización de las ciencias formales. El concepto de iconicidad se relacionará con las funciones surrogativa y ectética del conocimiento simbólico, pero también se subrayará la esencial función analítica que cumplen los íconos. Sobre esta base, se sostendrá que, si bien el pensamiento de Peirce se nutre de la tradición del conocimiento simbólico, con su concepción icónica de las ciencias formales va finalmente más allá de esta tradición.
Prevalance of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization : Meta Analysis Study
Authors: Özükoç Can , Akgöl Beyza Ballı , Münevveroğlu Aslı Patır
Published: October 2020

Objective:  Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is defined as the hypomineralization of one or more first permanent molars, which may often also affect permanent incisors. The prevalence rate of MIH has been reported to vary between 2.5%-40.2% in various populations. This study aimed to reveal the general dimensions of MIH and to determine its prevalence in societies to plan long-term disease control programs.

Material and Methods: The database obtained by reviewing all studies on the relevant subject in English literature was examined and the prevalence was calculated using the random effect model. All studies were assessed in terms of publication bias while examining the heterogeneity and meta-regression by using sensitivity analysis.

Results: A total of 70 studies were included in the study and the prevalence of MIH was calculated to be 11.88% (95% CI 10.2%-12.4%). The sample size explained 99% heterogeneity.

Conclusion: This study has revealed that more strategies are needed for the preservation of dental health in this patient group due to the high prevalence of MIH, and there is a need for further prevalence studies involving isolated populations in different parts of the world.

The study aims to determine the impact of dietary crude protein levels on the hematological parameters of Japanese quail from growth to ovipositor. To this end, five feeds with different crude protein levels (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26%) were supplied to 700 quails of three weeks of age. These were subdivided into six batches, including three batches of females and three batches of males for each feed group. After subjecting the quails to diets containing the different protein levels, four samples were taken at the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh week of age. The samples taken were analyzed using an SYSMEX XN 350 automated hematological analyzer. The results of this investigation indicated that non-significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed in hematological parameters in both female and male quails. This study showed that dietary crude protein levels had no impact on the health status of Japanese quails. Keywords: Japanese quails, Crude protein, Hematological parameters.

The effect of storage temperature on the physical-chemical properties of poultry rendering meals (PRM) of whole broiler carcasses was evaluated. Chemical parameters, oxidation and biogenic amines (BA) profiles were determined. A completely randomized design in a 2x4 factorial arrangement (two stored temperature: 26 ºC or 7 ºC; and four storage times: 0, 24, 48 and 72h before rendering) was used. PRM nutrient levels were within the acceptable ranges determined for animal byproducts in all treatments and they did not influence PRM acidity index or TBARS (P>0.05). The peroxide index of all PRM was higher than the acceptable limit (>10 meq/1000g) but did not cause a rancid odor. Lower total BA content was determined at 72 h of storage in PRMs from refrigerated carcasses. The nutrient composition of PRMs shows quality enough to possibly be utilized as a feedstuff. Additional studies are needed to establish the safety of these byproducts as feedstuffs. Keywords: biogenic amines, byproduct, feedstuff, nutritional composition
Volumes of Flow Polytopes Related to Caracol Graphs
Authors: Jang Jihyeug , Kim Jang Soo
Published: October 2020

Recently, Benedetti et al. introduced an Ehrhart-like polynomial associated to a graph. This polynomial is defined as the volume of a certain flow polytope related to a graph and has the property that the leading coefficient is the volume of the flow polytope of the original graph with net flow vector $(1,1,\dots,1)$. Benedetti et al. conjectured a formula for the Ehrhart-like polynomial of what they call a caracol graph. In this paper their conjecture is proved using constant term identities, labeled Dyck paths, and a cyclic lemma.
The Terwilliger Algebra of the Twisted Grassmann Graph: the Thin Case
Authors: Tanaka Hajime , Wang Tao
Published: October 2020

The Terwilliger algebra $T(x)$ of a finite connected simple graph $\Gamma$ with respect to a vertex $x$ is the complex semisimple matrix algebra generated by the adjacency matrix $A$ of $\Gamma$ and the diagonal matrices $E_i^*(x)=\operatorname{diag}(v_i)$ $(i=0,1,2,\dots)$, where $v_i$ denotes the characteristic vector of the set of vertices at distance $i$ from $x$. The twisted Grassmann graph $\tilde{J}_q(2D+1,D)$ discovered by Van Dam and Koolen in 2005 has two orbits of the automorphism group on its vertex set, and it is known that one of the orbits has the property that $T(x)$ is thin whenever $x$ is chosen from it, i.e., every irreducible $T(x)$-module $W$ satisfies $\dim E_i^*(x)W\leqslant 1$ for all $i$. In this paper, we determine all the irreducible $T(x)$-modules of $\tilde{J}_q(2D+1,D)$ for this "thin" case.

Authors: Rafi Kazi NS , Sen Proma , Uddin Zia , MG Aziz
Published: October 2020

The present study was conducted aiming at isolation and profiling of the crude dietary fiber (DF) (cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin) from different parts (seed and peel) of the Burmese grape; a local fruit containing numerous health benefits. The extracted and purified fiber was added to yogurt and the sensory quality of the potential prebiotic yogurt was assessed. Major parts of the Burmese grape are seed, peel, and pulp with a calculated portion of around 19.44%, 36.11%, and 44.45% respectively of the whole fruit. Alcohol Insoluble Solids (AIS) were isolated and found at a level of 51.80% and 72.48% in the seed and peel respectively. The polysaccharides of the AISs were fractionated by extracting sequentially with suitable solvents into cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. The extracted pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose were found to be 38%, 11.56%, and 40% from the peel and 21.24%, 23.36%, and 36.92% from the seed respectively. The extracted crude DF was then purified and the final content of the pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose in the peel was found as 7.63%, 2.92%, and 32.19% and in seed 3.04%, 1.26%, and 6.34% respectively. Among all the extracted and purified DF, the hemicellulose content was the lowest and the cellulose content was the highest both in peel and seed. The purified DF was added to yogurt at a level of 0%, 1%, 1.3%, and 1.5%, to prepare a control and three potential prebiotic yogurt samples. Despite having potential health benefits of prebiotic yogurt, participated panelists preferred control one during sensory evaluation compared to the dietary fiber added yogurt.

The Challenges of Organizing the People’s Court as a Part of the Soviet Judicial System
Authors:   Kursk State University, Kryzhan Anna V.
Published: October 2020

This article dwells on improving the efficiency of people’s courts, which were a fundamental element of the Soviet judicial system, and on establishing control over their activities. The chronological framework of the paper covers the mid-1920s, when the results of the 1922 judicial reform had been put in practice and the key problems of the people’s courts became apparent. The article analyses the notion of the people’s court, which, on the one hand, reflects the essence of the judicial body making excessive use of the institution of elected people’s assessors in its work, and, on the other hand, levels the class essence of the Soviet court. Turning to documentary sources and archival materials, the author dwells on the main tasks of the new state power in organizing the activity of the people’s courts. It is emphasized that these courts were subject to scrutiny by the People’s Commissariat for Justice not just due to the objective need to establish their normal work, but also as a result of the increased confrontation between the Commissariat and the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union, especially over the supervision of the judicial work of provincial courts and people’s courts. Having analysed the Instruction on the Audit Procedure of People’s Courts by Provincial Courts issued in 1924, the author points out that the Commissariat aimed not only to administer the work of the people’s courts, but also to assist them in improving their activities and solving problems. The author concludes that, in addition to formal reasons due to the limited number of judicial institutions, incompetent personnel and inadequate funding, the normalization of the work of the people’s courts was also hindered by a conceptual contradiction. On the one hand, the authorities aimed to create a civilized law that would demonstrate to the whole world the advantages of the Soviet system, and, on the other, to establish the class principle in the work of people’s courts.
Udacha vs Udal’ in the Linguistic Objectification of the Russian Cultural Concept of Luck
Authors:   Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod, Makshantseva Anna L.
Published: October 2020

This article discusses the results of an intralinguistic comparative analysis of the lexemes udacha (‘luck’) and udal’ (‘courage’) as a part of the complex linguoculturological description of the concept “udacha” (‘luck’) in the Russian national conceptual sphere according to the language data. The paper aimed to analyse the conceptual convergence and divergence of the lexemes udacha and udal’ that form the historical-etymological area of this concept’s entire range of meanings. For materials, the author turned to Russian etymological and explanatory dictionaries as well as to the Russian National Corpus. The conceptual analysis methodology applied in this paper is based on methods adopted by the Voronezh and Nizhny Novgorod schools of thought. The scientific value of this article consists in introducing such a new research subject as the conceptual pair udacha – udal’ in the Russian linguistic worldview. It is demonstrated that in the historical-etymological area of the meanings of the concept of luck, an important place is occupied by the age-old link between udacha and udal’ that is confirmed by their common genesis and a significant convergence of meanings. The author comes to the conclusion that the Russian words udacha and udal’ comprise an interdependent unity: udacha reflects the objective aspect of all the good things that can happen in one’s life, while udal’ expresses the subjective aspect, i.e. personal traits facilitating successful self-fulfilment. This paper makes a certain contribution to the theory and practice of the comprehensive linguoculturological synchronic-diachronic analysis of cultural concepts based on cognitive linguistics. In terms of practical value, the results of the research can be used for teaching linguoculturological disciplines at universities and for compiling conceptual dictionaries and linguoculturological thesauri.
The Aggiornamento Phenomenon and the Second Vatican Council
Authors:   The Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, ( Bulyko) Hiermonk Ioann
Published: October 2020

The Second Vatican Council was a unique event in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. Initiated by Pope John XXIII, it was intended to make the Roman Catholic Church more open to the contemporary society and bring it closer to the people. The principal aim of the council was the so called aggiornamento (updating). The phenomenon of updating the ecclesiastical life consisted in the following: on the one hand, modernization of the life of the Church and closer relations with the secular world; on the other hand, preserving all the traditions upon which the ecclesiastical life was founded. Hence in the Council’s documents we find another, French word ressourcement meaning ‘return to the origins’ based on the Holy Scripture and the works of the Church Fathers. The aggiornamento phenomenon emerged during the Second Vatican Council due to the movement within the Catholic Church called nouvelle theologie (French for “new theology”). Its representatives advanced the ideas that became fundamental in the Council’s decisions. The nouvelle theologie was often associated with modernism as some of the ideas of its representatives seemed to be very similar to those of modernism. However, what made the greatest difference between the two movements was their attitude towards the tradition. For the nouvelle theologie it was very important to revive Christianity in its initial version, hence their striving for returning to the sources, for the oecumenical movement, for better relations with non-Catholics and for liturgical renewal. All these ideas can be traced in the documents of the Second Vatican Council, and all this is characterized by the word aggiornamento.
