Authors: Н.А. Карпук , С.П. Рубникович , М.Н. Медведев
Published: October 2024

Плоскоклеточный рак слизистой оболочки рта развивается, как правило, в исходе предшествующих потенциально злокачественных заболеваний, ведущим из которых является лейкоплакия. В работе изложены результаты изучения цитологического материала 407 пациентов с лейкоплакией слизистой оболочки рта с последующим гистологическим анализом биопсийного материала при выявлении цитологических признаков плоскоклеточных интраэпителиальных изменений низкой степени. У обследованных пациентов (n=407) наиболее часто (р<0,05) – в 308 (75,7%) случаях – встречалась гомогенная лейкоплакия слизистой оболочки рта (плоская форма), а негомогенная лейкоплакия слизистой оболочки рта – в 99 (24,3%) случаях (из них веррукозная – в 77 (18,9%), эрозивно-язвенная – в 22 (5,4%) случаях). Установлены различные типы цитологического и гистологического строения слизистой оболочки рта у пациентов с лейкоплакией слизистой оболочки рта. При всех формах лейкоплакии слизистой оболочки рта (n=407) плоскоклеточные интраэпителиальные изменения низкой степени выявлены у 38 (9,3%) пациентов (p<0,05). Лейкоплакия слизистой оболочки рта с плоскоклеточными интраэпителиальными изменениями низкой степени и без них чаще выявлялась у пациентов в возрастной группе 45–54 года.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral mucosa develops, as a rule, in the outcome of previous potentially malignant diseases, the most important of which is leukoplakia. The paper presents the results of a study of the cytological material of 407 patients with leukoplakia of oral mucosa, followed by histological analysis of biopsy material in identifying cytological signs of squamous intraepithelial changes of low degree. In the examined patients (n=407), homogeneous leukoplakia of oral mucosa (flat form) was most common (p<0.05) in 308 (75.7%) cases, and inhomogeneous leukoplakia of oral mucosa in 99 (24.3%) (verrucose LSD – in 77 (18.9%), erosive ulcerative – in 22 (5.4%) cases). Various types of cytological and histological structure of oral mucosa in patients with leukoplakia of oral mucosa have been established. In all forms of leukoplakia of oral mucosa (n=407), low-grade squamous intraepithelial changes were detected in 38 (9.3%) patients (p<0.05). Leukoplakia of oral mucosa and low-grade squamous intraepithelial changes and without them were more often detected in patients in the age group 45–54 years.

Introduction. The aesthetic appeal of the smile is one of the key issues when seeking orthodontic treatment. The patient’s ultimate satisfaction with the result of the treatment is often related to the improvement of the aesthetic parameters not only of the teeth, but also of the surrounding tissues. An interdisciplinary approach is often required to improve the visual characteristics of the smile of a patient with maxillofacial anomalies. Purpose. Carrying out complex rehabilitation of patients with maxillofacial anomalies. Materials and methods. The object of the study was occlusal disorders complicated by asymmetry of the free gingival contour. For rehabilitation of patients with dentofacial anomalies the fixed technique – multibonding system was used. Surgical correction of the gingival contour was performed with universal diode laser Biolase – Epic X. Results. Introduction of the surgical stage of aesthetic correction of the unattached gingival contour into orthodontic treatment allowed creating a perfectly symmetrical smile line of the patients. Conclusions. The aesthetic attractiveness of the result of orthodontic treatment significantly increases when soft tissue contour plastic is performed in situations with gingival asymmetry.
Políticas de juventudes en democracia. Itinerarios recorridos
Authors: Beretta Diego
Published: October 2024

En el contexto de la recuperación democrática en Argentina, la cuestión juvenil devino en cuestión de política pública en el marco de un proceso global específico. En ese marco, fueron los organismos internacionales los que, desde décadas anteriores, insistieron en la necesidad de que los Estados reconozcan a las y los jóvenes como sujetos de políticas. Ahora bien, ¿cuáles son los desafíos de las políticas públicas de juventudes a 40 años de un proceso democrático ininterrumpido? A partir de este interrogante, nos proponemos realizar un balance de los itinerarios recorridos y de los nuevos desafíos de las políticas de juventudes en Argentina.

Los cuidados en la agenda democrática: una mirada desde la Ley de Contrato de Trabajo
Authors: Fabbioneri Federico , Delfino Andrea
Published: October 2024

En nuestro país, los cuidados como derecho han sido un beneficio tradicionalmente vinculado al trabajo asalariado formal. La legislación laboral, y específicamente la Ley de Contrato de Trabajo, supusieron regulaciones asentadas en el modelo tradicional de familia y en la figura materna como responsable fundamental del trabajo de cuidados. La “crisis de los cuidados” y la pandemia por coronavirus dieron lugar a un proceso paulatino de reconocimiento de los cuidados como asunto público. En esta dirección, este trabajo analiza el proceso de reglamentación e implementación del artículo 179 de la LCT sobre el establecimiento de espacios de cuidados a cargo de las empresas, el cual coincide con la conmemoración de los 40 años ininterrumpidos del proceso democrático y clausura una omisión de la regulación estatal de casi 50 años.
La disputa por el sentido de la democracia
Authors: Iazzetta Osvaldo
Published: October 2024

El artículo describe la disputa en torno al significado atribuido a la democracia desde su recuperación en 1983, en función de la identificación de momentos marcados por acuerdos mínimos, en el tramo inicial, y momentos de discordia, a partir del nuevo siglo. El texto releva los contrapuntos que dividieron el campo académico en esta cuestión, y, además, sostiene la necesidad de tomar en cuenta los sentidos que provienen de las vivencias y percepciones negativas que experimenta la ciudadanía en democracia –sus decepciones y desilusiones–, si queremos evitar su fracaso.
Enredo de sombras del autoritarismo y la democracia: Ciencia Política, cine y literatura
Authors: Lucca Juan Bautista
Published: October 2024

Luego de cuarenta años de la recuperación democrática en Argentina, este ensayo propone un derrotero por siete peldaños, cada uno de ellos marcado por un nudo gordiano dentro del desarrollo histórico y conceptual de la ciencia política latinoamericana, como son el estudio de los procesos de quiebras de la democracia, los regímenes autoritarios, la impronta de los dictadores, las transiciones a la democracia, la calidad democrática, las promesas inconclusas de la democracia y su desdemocratización. Este itinerario en el debate conceptual de la ciencia política busca espejarse a la luz de los artefactos de la literatura y el cine argentinos y latinoamericanos. Esto nos habilita a dejar de pensar el cine y la literatura como una ficción por un lado, y la historia solo a través del registro científico por el otro; es decir, nos permite pensar el cine y la literatura como una mixtura de artificio y realidad que pone en juego el tiempo, la imagen, el arte, la moral, la estética y la política misma.
Democracia y revolución. Notas sobre la política, el ensayo y la herencia
Authors: Vinuesa Lucía
Published: October 2024

El tránsito entre la última dictadura cívico-militar y la consolidación del régimen democrático representativo inauguró una nueva época cuyos efectos en la militancia política y las ciencias sociales dan cuenta del abandono de las discusiones en torno a la revolución. Mientras que la democracia como concepto, como procedimiento, como entramado institucional y como régimen político asumió un rol protagónico, especialmente en el campo de la Ciencia Política, la idea de revolución se relegó al pasado. De hecho, será dentro del campo crítico y ensayístico de las ciencias sociales donde el debate sobre esta idea persistió. En este escrito, retomamos algunos hilos de ese debate en dos figuras centrales del campo intelectual crítico que son las de Horacio González y Nicolás Casullo, animados por la revitalización en el campo intelectual de la pregunta por la revolución y en el aniversario de las cuatro décadas ininterrumpidas de democracia.

El trabajo en comedores comunitarios durante la pandemia en contextos de mediatización/mercantilización de la experiencia social. Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Boito María Eugenia , Huergo Juliana , Acosta Laura Débora
Published: October 2024

Este escrito analiza las narraciones de mujeres sobre el trabajo en comedores/merenderos durante la pandemia de COVID-19, en la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina), entre 2020 y 2021. La investigación mayor de la que derivan estas reflexiones concreta un abordaje metodológico mixto. La fase cuantitativa (n:680 hogares) expone efectos asimétricos: los sectores socio-segregados tuvieron mayor riesgo de perder empleo o disminuir ingresos que el resto de la población (63% versus 42,4%). La fase cualitativa (n:10) señala que aumentó exponencialmente la demanda alimentaria. El aporte central del trabajo es mostrar que –en situación de pandemia y a contrapelo del discurso publicitario– la posibilidad de acceso y uso de las redes sociales no solo ya estaba desigualmente distribuida por clases sociales, sino que, sobre este tema, las mujeres de las clases subalternas disputan en acto con las construcciones ideológicas dominantes sobre esta noción de igualdad asociada a la mediatización tecnológica. Además, se observan algunas redefiniciones del espacio/tiempo doméstico y el quehacer colectivo durante el confinamiento, ante el crecimiento de las demandas y los obstáculos, así como el impacto en los cuerpos que cuidan.
La entrevista y la encuesta como epistemología del diálogo
Authors: Aspeé Juan , González José
Published: October 2024

Cuando se piensa en la entrevista y en la encuesta, se piensa en instrumentos de investigación social, pero de características diferentes y, en algunos casos, adscritos a paradigmas incompatibles. Sin embargo, comparten una característica común fundamental que las hace parte de un mismo continuo: son dialógicas, conversacionales. Así, aquí se plantea que son un momento epistemológico específico dentro del diálogo, y que, como tal, sus características estarán determinadas por la restricción y libertad para preguntar, así como por la restricción y libertad para responder. En consecuencia, entrevista y encuesta son expresiones de un continuo conversacional que condiciona la interacción entre quien pregunta y quien responde. Ello pudiera trastocar, incluso, la adscripción paradigmática de cada instrumento. De ello debe tener conciencia todo cientista social.
El Fondo Monetario Internacional y América Latina. Las relaciones tras la pandemia de COVID-19
Authors: Breczko Agata
Published: October 2024

La crisis provocada por la pandemia de COVID-19, las crecientes necesidades de financiamiento y el consiguiente deterioro de las finanzas públicas de muchos países han creado un escenario propicio para el regreso del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) a América Latina después de casi una década y media de distanciamiento. El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las relaciones entre la organización y la región en el contexto del coronavirus. Buscamos comprender hasta qué punto las renovadas relaciones serán el espejo de las “viejas” preferencias del FMI que han caracterizado sus intervenciones en las últimas dos décadas del siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI. Primero, examinamos la postura oficial del Fondo reflejada en sus publicaciones emblemáticas. Afirmamos que la institución, en su discurso, es cada vez más permisiva con el uso del estímulo fiscal y frente al protagonismo del Estado en la resolución de crisis. Posteriormente, confrontamos la retórica del FMI con sus acciones concretas, reflejadas en la condicionalidad y las recomendaciones de política contenidas en los acuerdos firmados con los países latinoamericanos en el contexto de la crisis sanitaria. Concluimos que el enfoque ortodoxo persiste en las prácticas del FMI, pero está acompañado por crecientes cambios adaptativos.

Authors: Tanjung Wiwi Wardani , Siregar Nurhanifah , Misbah Tetty
Published: October 2024

Breast care needs to be done by pregnant women to be able to expedite the release of breast milk. Most pregnant women do not do breast care because of lack of knowledge in breast care itself, lack of information about breast care such as not protruding nipples, or flat, because of the condition of the breasts, especially the nipples. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between predisposing factors and breast care for pregnant women in Sungai Orosan Village, Padang Bolak District, North Padang Lawas Regency in 2021. The type of research was quantitative with a cross sectional study design. The population in this study were all pregnant women as many as 36 people. The sample in this study was all pregnant as many as 36 people. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate using Chi Square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge factors (p= 0.004), parity (p= 0.004) and employment status (p= 0.003) with breast care in pregnant women. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between knowledge, parity and employment status with breast care in pregnant women. It is hoped that pregnant women can increase their knowledge about breast care.
Early warning systems for financial distress: A machine learning approach to corporate risk mitigation
Authors: Judijanto Loso , Sihotang Jonhariono , Simbolon Agata Putri Handayani
Published: October 2024

This research explores the development of an early warning system for corporate financial distress using machine learning techniques to address key challenges in corporate risk mitigation. The main objective is to enhance predictive accuracy by integrating financial and non-financial data, addressing class imbalance, and ensuring model interpretability. The research design involves the formulation of a new machine learning model, leveraging cost-sensitive learning and feature selection, and is tested with a numerical example using logistic regression. Methodologically, the study adopts a data-driven approach that incorporates diverse financial ratios, macroeconomic variables, and market sentiment indicators to predict corporate distress. The numerical results from a basic logistic regression model demonstrate poor performance, especially in handling class imbalance, revealing limitations in traditional statistical models. However, the research suggests that machine learning methods, particularly ensemble learning with cost-sensitive algorithms, offer superior predictive accuracy and practical applicability. The study concludes that integrating advanced techniques and diverse datasets leads to more reliable early warning systems, with significant implications for corporate governance and financial risk management. Future research should explore more sophisticated machine learning models and extend real-world applications across various industries and economic conditions.
Fixed Point Theorems in G-Metric Vector Spaces and their applications in Machine Learning and Optimization Algorithms
Authors: Vinsensia Desi , Utami Yulia
Published: October 2024

This research aims to develop a novel mathematical formulation of fixed point theorems in G-metric vector spaces and explore its applications in machine learning and optimization algorithms. The study begins by defining a complete G-metric space and establishing a generalized contraction condition for an operator representing iterative updates in optimization processes. Utilizing gradient descent with regularization as a case study, a numerical example is presented to validate the proposed formulation. The methodology involves iterative calculations demonstrating the convergence of a sequence of parameters toward a fixed point, highlighting the effectiveness of the auxiliary function in promoting sparsity while accommodating the non-Euclidean characteristics of high-dimensional data. The main results reveal that the proposed framework not only enhances the convergence properties of iterative algorithms but also aligns well with contemporary regularization techniques in machine learning. The conclusions drawn emphasize the significance of integrating generalized G-metric spaces and auxiliary functions in fixed point theories, suggesting that this approach provides a robust foundation for developing adaptive optimization algorithms. The findings indicate substantial implications for future research, highlighting the need for broader exploration of G-metric spaces and their applicability in various machine learning paradigms to address complex data challenges.

House Selection Decision Support System with Fuzzy Tsukamoto Method
Authors: Tafonae Tomi Irnawandi
Published: October 2024

Housing is a basic human need and needs to be fostered and developed for the sake of continuity and improvement of people's lives and settlements which cannot be seen as they mean of need, but more than that it is a human settlement in creating a space of life to promote themselves in revealing their identity. During this time the decision making of home selection desired by consumers still experienced several obstacles, namely the slow process of decision making, inconvenience to the housing environment, credit installments and so on. This is because there is no objective method for deciding on a fast choice based on housing data which is right in accordance with consumer desires. By referring to the solution given by Fuzzy Tsukamoto in helping to make a decision, a decision maker can make decisions about housing according to the desired quickly by comparing all existing criteria. Decision support systems are generally defined as a system that is capable of producing solutions and handling problems. Decision support systems are not intended to replace the role of decision makers, but to help and support decision makers. This Fuzzy Tsukamoto method can determine the preference value of each alternative, and can select the best alternative from a number of alternatives.

Expert System Diagnosing Diseases of Freshwater Ornamental Fish using Bayes' Theorem Method
Authors: Simalango Roindah
Published: October 2024

When a fish is attacked by a disease, it will show physical changes, it can be seen from the symptoms that appear. From the visible symptoms, the type of fish disease can be identified and the treatment stage is immediately carried out so that there is no big loss. Diagnosis is the initial stage to find out the symptoms of a type of ornamental fish disease in order to be able to overcome the disease at an early stage. The purpose of diagnosis using Bayes' theorem is to help the public / ordinary people do the work of experts to diagnose computer-based ornamental fish diseases easily, quickly and the process can be repeated automatically. An expert information system is a software application that has a knowledge base for a particular domain and uses inference reasoning like an expert in solving a problem. In the design of the expert system that was built, the disease code was determined consisting of codes P001 to P0016, used as a reference for diagnosing the disease. Symptom code: G1 to G31, is the type of symptom that appears. In the testing phase, a trial was carried out on the Expert System application with the Bayes Theorem that had been built. The results of the diagnosis and the probability of the disease in ornamental fish will be searched using calculations based on the symptoms experienced by the fish. From the case example, after calculating the Bayes value, the highest cause with a percentage of 86% was caused by Aeromonas sp. and Pseudomonas sp.

Authors: Wahyuwidodo Catur
Published: October 2024

Utilization of a decision support system using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method is very helpful for managers in making decisions that are faster and more accurate. The basic concept of the SAW method is to find the weighted sum of the performance ratings on each alternative and on all attributes that require the normalization process of the decision matrix (X) to a scale that can be compared with all existing alternative ratings. This method was chosen because it is able to select the best alternative from a number of alternatives based on the specified criteria. The research was conducted by finding the weight value for each attribute and then ranking it to determine the optimal alternative.
Survival and Toxicity Outcomes with Radiotherapy Technique and Timing in the Management of Wilms Tumor: a Systematic Review to Inform a National Clinical Practice Guideline Development
Authors: Bacorro Warren , Lardizabal-Bunyi Jane Efflyn , Rodriguez Michelle , Leongson-Cruz Maria Cecilia
Published: October 2024

Purpose: Wilms tumor (WT) management has evolved into a multimodality paradigm that includes radiotherapy (RT), usually as an adjuvant or consolidative modality. Protocols are refined to maximize cure and compliance while minimizing acute toxicity and long-term effects. RT technique and timing are two factors that could improve these outcomes. We reviewed the evidence on survival and toxicity outcomes among WT patients with conventional versus advanced RT techniques and early versus delayed RT to inform a Department of Health (DOH) commissioned guideline. Materials and Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, EuropePMC, EBSCOHost, HERDIN, systematic review and clinical trial registries and official websites of scientific societies for relevant publications and grey literature. Eligibility screening, risk-of-bias assessment and data extraction were performed using a single-reviewer approach. Given the study and data heterogeneity, only a qualitative synthesis was performed. Certainty of evidence assessment was done using the GRADE approach. Results: We screened 314 studies and included seven in the review, including a phase 1/2 trial and six retrospective studies, all from first-world countries (US, France, Netherlands), except one from a newly industrialized country (Brazil). The certainty of evidence on the survival and toxicity outcomes with advanced RT techniques was very low. Moderate-certainty evidence supports that giving RT >14 days after surgery leads to increased mortality. Conclusion: Current evidence does not support the routine use of advanced RT techniques; proper contextualization is necessary. Tertiary centers managing WT should strive to administer RT within 14 days after surgery whenever possible. Keywords: Wilms tumor, nephroblastoma, radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, survival, toxicity

Mathematical Models in Psychology for Stochastic Description of Human Feelings
Authors:   Korea Minjok Leadership Academy, Hoengseong 25268, Korea, Kwon Dohun , Choi Songhwa ,   Bundang International School, Seongnam 13616, Korea
Published: October 2024

We reviewed the application of mathematical analysis in psychology research, especially on human feelings. As mathematical analysis is widely used for modeling, it also has been applied to study human behavior. There are problems in applying mathematical analysis to psychology research due to the inherent subjectivity with multi-facets, intricacy, and dependence on context and memory of human feelings. Therefore, non-linear mathematical models and artificial intelligence engines are demanded to mimic human intuition for the better performance of models and, further, personalizing models accommodating individual differences. For this, adaptive learning methods need to be employed. Along with such technological considerations, diverse and reliable datasets are also mandatory to construct appropriate mathematical models. Human feelings are intricate and multifaceted, and cannot be easily expressed in mathematics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop mathematical analysis methods to understand and assess human feelings more precisely. With the development of computational technology and data-gathering techniques, existing problems can be solved, and data including sentiment analysis results and facial expressions with time-dependent components can be available. It is expected to have personalized models based on individual differences soon owing to the rapid development of mathematical analysis techniques. Such models to assess and predict human feelings can be used for diverse applications including psychology, marketing, education, and others.

The Formation and Development of the Election Campaign Management and Funding System : Focusing on Discussions Regarding Regulations for Election Campaign Methods in Japan and Korea
Authors:   Korean Constitutional Law Asscciation, Bae Jeonghun
Published: October 2024

Article 116 (2), and, in a broader sense, including Article 116 (1) of the Constitution, stipulate the Election Campaign Management and Funding System. This system aims to ensure equal opportunities for election campaigns among candidates, reduce the influence of money in the electoral process, and prevent corruption in elections.
The Election Campaign Management and Funding System can be categorized into two types: one where certain election campaign methods are supported or subsidized by the state, and another where only the election campaign methods explicitly permitted by the state are allowed, while all other private methods are prohibited. However, within an Election Campaign Regulation system that comprehensively regulates campaign methods, the former type of public election system often operates similarly to the latter. This is because candidates, unable to freely choose their campaign methods, are de facto limited to using only those methods supported or subsidized under the Election Campaign Management and Funding System.
Both the Japanese and Korean systems exemplify this phenomenon. In Japan, the 1934 revision of the House of Representatives Election Law established a structure of ‘extensive regulation and limited permission’ regarding election campaigns. Consequently, election campaigns in Japan became largely confined to methods permitted and subsidized by the state. Similarly, the 1958 Act on the Election of Members of the House of Commons in Korea established a framework of ‘comprehensive regulation and exceptional permission,’ akin to Japan's system. The framework created by the 1994 Act on the Election of Public Officials and the Prevention of Election Malpractices, enacted after the 1987 Constitution, is also similar.
It is challenging to assert that the structure has fundamentally changed under the current Public Official Election Act in Korea. As a result, election campaigns by candidates de facto continue to be largely confined to the methods allowed under the Election Campaign Management and Funding System. Given the importance of the freedom to conduct election campaigns, it is necessary to eliminate the comprehensive regulation of campaign methods in the current Public Official Election Act. Such a change would better enable the Election Campaign Management and Funding System to achieve its objective of supporting and subsidizing election campaigns.
A sculptor and a spy: Francesco Giambaldi (1867-1918) from Lecce to Paris
Authors: Arthur Paul
Published: October 2024

Francesco Giambaldi, an Italian sculptor, went to live and work in Paris shortly before the 1900 Universal Exposition, becoming an acquaintance of Rodin and a friend of Anatole France and Ernest La Jeunesse. Man of letters, well introduced into the circle of Bohemian life in Paris, his works included sculptures of figures such as Baudelaire, Gautier, Verlaine, Beethoven, Nietzsche, and Sappho. He collaborated with the journal Cocorico and helped create an innovative means of representing sculptures on postcards known as photosculptogravure. Giambaldi, however, had a second, covert, existence as a highly successful component of the Italian spy network in France. Codenamed Foulard, he infiltrated the anarchists and denounced them directly to the Italian ambassador in Paris. The article sheds light on this curious, somewhat behind the scenes, figure and, for the first time, recognises some twenty-eight of his oeuvres.
Acqua e carbone in Casentino tra XII e XV secolo: elementi di analisi archeologica dei paesaggi medievali
Authors: Biondi Andrea
Published: October 2024

Water mills and charcoal pits have constituted two of the main economic factors of the Tuscan Apennine mountains. Between the 12th and 15th centuries, they were used by noble powers and rural communities, thus being the protagonists of fundamental economic activities, such as milling (wheat and chestnuts) and siderurgy. Therefore, the analyzed sites nearby Raggiolo and Pratovecchio Stia (Casentino) are relevant case studies to understand the dynamics of the medieval mountain economic systems.
Decastellamento e ‘nuove’ forme dell’abitare in un territorio alle porte di Firenze
Authors: Causarano Marie-Ange
Published: October 2024

The contribution intends to analyse, by comparing documentary sources and material reality, the processes of decastellation that occurred between the 13th and 14th centuries in a territory immediately outside the city walls of Florence. The castles present in this part of the contado, attested between the 11th and 12th centuries, suffered late abandonment only on rare occasions; in all other cases, on the contrary, there was an early process of decastellation that, already in the second half of the 13th century, led to the birth of “new” forms of living (case da signore, tower houses, palagi, forts) that took up residence on the ancient castles, at the same time as the new mercantile elite of the city (Peruzzi, Bardi) took over these sites. The rural lordly residences that arose on the ancient castles, studied through an archaeological analysis of the architecture, will be compared with iconographic and written sources, in order to identify the signs of a phenomenon that during the 14th century transformed the Tuscan countryside close to the city, generating “new” types of extra-urban residences.
Il contributo dell’archeozoologia alla conoscenza del rapporto uomo-animale nel Medioevo toscano (X-XIV secolo)
Authors: Corbino Chiara
Published: October 2024

From 2004 to 2010 the chair of medieval archeology at the University of Florence, led by prof. Guido Vannini encouraged and supported the archaeozoological analysis of the faunal remains recovered at Castel Vaiolo, Prato, Rocca Ricciarda and Cafaggiolo. The contexts investigated, between the 10th and 19th centuries, provided information about the species and the different uses. The two main domestic goat/sheep and pig, were the most used for food. Cattle and game meat were an occasional addition to the diet of the wealthy . Cattle and game meat were an occasional addition to the diet of the wealthy . Dogs and cats were who often ate. The information collected, inserted into a broader framework, provided a considerable contribution to the study from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.
Da Pistoia a Shawbak, passando per Palermo e Cairo
Authors: Curatola Giovanni
Published: October 2024

The portion of flooring decorated with opus sectile squares, recently found in the still initial archaeological excavations at al-Jayyah at the feet of Shawbak castle, are the pretext for some brief observations regarding the contacts (almost presumed) between different western and middle eastern worlds, and about the spread into an Islamic milieu of that specific technique. These are artistic suggestions that in medieval time touched Venice, Palermo and Cairo. The text is limited to a hint of analysis, and a few tracks for further insights are given.
Il castello di San Lucido (CS), una preliminare proposta di analisi stratigrafica degli elevati
Authors: Donato Eugenio
Published: October 2024

Il contributo propone una sintesi sui lavori di lettura archeologica degli elevati nel castello di San Lucido (noto come castello Ruffo, sulla costa tirrenica calabrese, in provincia di Cosenza), un sito fino ad oggi inaccessibile, e sostanzialmente sconosciuto per quello che concerne gli aspetti archeologici e architettonici.
Il castello (insieme al borgo e al relativo approdo) che insiste nell’areale dell’antica Clampetia (dapprima città brettia, poi conquistata dai Romani), compare nelle fonti medievali a partire dalla seconda metà dell’XI secolo, al tempo della conquista normanna, e per molti secoli costituisce un importante polo feudale dell’alto Tirreno Calabrese, strategico punto di controllo della viabilità terrestre e marittima.
Il lavoro, condotto dallo scrivente in collaborazione con la SABAP CS, consiste nella lettura stratigrafica degli elevati coadiuvata dalle più recenti metodologie di rilevamento tridimensionale, ed ha permesso, tra gli altri risultati, di individuare la prima fase dell’incastellamento normanno caratterizzata dalla presenza della torre quadrangolare (donjon) sullo sperone meridionale della rupe.
Il ruolo del commercio internazionale fra Oriente ed Occidente nel processo di cristianizzazione. Il caso dei Petici e dell’Abruzzo. Alcuni appunti
Authors: La Salvia Vasco
Published: October 2024

This article explores the intertwined dynamics of trade, religion, and geography through the lens of the Petici family, prominent merchants engaged in long-distance trans- Mediterranean commerce during the Roman Empire. While existing studies have covered the Petici family’s role in trade, this contribution seeks to contextualize their commercial activities within the cultural dynamics that facilitated the dissemination of new religious ideas, particularly Christianity. Examining archaeological findings and epigraphic evidence, the article explores the early Christianization of Abruzzo, emphasizing the Petici family’s association with this process. In conclusion, this article portrays Abruzzo not as an isolated region but as an integral part of the Roman economic, administrative, and cultural landscape. The Petici family emerges as a key player in bridging the Western and Eastern Mediterranean through trade, potentially influencing the spread of Christianity in the region.

Zooarcheology: animals talk, just to complete the story
Authors: Mazza Paul
Published: October 2024

Zooarcheology is a Frankenstein hybrid, born from the ribs of a myriad of disciplines. Its research focuses on animal remains from archeological contexts under an anthropological perspective with the primary and ultimate object of gaining information about human behavior. It has been, and often still is, considered a subdiscipline of archeology. And yet, it has the potential to greatly contribute to the advancement of knowledge in archeology. By using a variety of analytical methods, it provides independent lines of complementary scientific evidence from archeofaunal, geological, and sedimentary archives. It can yield detailed information on the environments in which past peoples lived, as well as on the intensity of human impacts on landscapes, on past human diets and on their evolution through time. It can also provide insights into the nature of the social organization of the people. All this reveals zooarcheology in a role that has not often been recognized.
Metafore spaziali per descrivere i tempi della storia. Il paesaggio signorile dei Guidi dal X al XII secolo fra tradizione e innovazione culturale: un percorso di archeologia leggera fra ricerca e formazione
Authors: Molducci Chiara
Published: October 2024

It is difficult to escape from spatial metaphors to know and describe the characteristics of time and its flow. Space is easier to think about, depict and study as it is a material testimony to the lives of the people who built and lived in it. “No material thing can not exist in time” (Boncinelli 2006). The archaeological analysis of landscapes over time, the spaces par excellence, can provide important elements for the knowledge of history if carried out with a method (light archaeology) anchored to a well-defined research topic such as, in this case, material study of the Guidi Lordship. The count family built and defined the Tuscan-Romagna Apennine space between the 10th and 13th centuries. with cultural specifics so marked that they still mark the territory concerned today. The construction of parishes and castles, desired by the counts, the connected roads, the economic activities that developed here transformed the landscape and the lives of the people who lived there. The results of the research have led to innovative proposals for public archaeology, allowing a constant dialogue between the present and the past with a view to social development.
