Published: September 2024

Vaccines are one of the most economical and effective ways to prevent an infectious disease. Vaccination at the village or kelurahan level affects the success of national scale vaccination. The variety of public knowledge about vaccination causes the percentage of vaccinations not to reach the maximum level and misinterpretations about co-occurrence after the covid-19 immunization. Therefore, it is very important to know the determinants of knowledge about vaccines and follow-up events after Covid-19 immunization in Loka Village. This research is a cross sectional study design. The population is the people of Loka Village,  with a sample of 400 respondents, to see the correlation of characteristics with knowledge about vaccines and knowledge about follow-up events after Covid-19 immunization using the Spearman Rho correlation test. The results of the study found that there was a correlation between age with knowledge of vaccines r = 0.216, education r = 0.186, and occupations with knowledge of vaccines r = -0.114, and occupations with knowledge of post-immunization follow-up events r = 0.165 positive correlation. Age and education were positively correlated with knowledge about vaccines, while occupation was negatively correlated. However, the work is positively correlated with knowledge about post-immunization

Published: September 2024

The number of elderly people is increasing. Healthy elderly will have an impact on the success of health development. On the other hand, many elderly people suffer from hypertension and cause problems both in their health and there is an increase in dependence on productive age. This study aims to identify the determinant factors in the elderly with hypertension so that they can be indicators of hypertension prevention. This study used a quantitative descriptive research design with a cross sectional approach. The number of samples is the total elderly population in STIKes BK Palu who suffer from hypertension as many as 50 respondents. The results of this study were tested using Kendall's tau-b test. The results showed that the determinant factors that correlated with the degree of hypertension were age, occupation, marital status and level of depression. Of the four, the level of depression is the strongest correlation factor. This is closely related to adherence in taking antihypertensive drugs. Thus, there needs to be a role and contribution from both health workers and the community to improve health education and health literacy about hypertension in order to prevent an increase in blood pressure in people with hypertension.

Published: September 2024

Eating habits in school children are formed from an early age and form the basis of children's nutritional intake patterns at a later age. The aim of this service is to increase school children's knowledge about balanced nutrition and children's skills in choosing balanced nutritious food through the socialization of “fill my plate” (in Indonesia: “isi piringku”). The target participants of this service activity are 50 elementary school children on Liukang Loe Island, Bulukumba Regency. The knowledge of the target group was assessed through pre and post-tests distributed before and after socialization. Pre-test and post test data were then analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results of data analysis showed that in the initial condition, the target group with sufficient knowledge of 44% increased to 68% in the condition after socialization. The Wilcoxon test results showed that there was a significant difference in knowledge level between before and after the target group received the "fill of my plate" socialization (p=0.004 <0.05). The target group of elementary school children was very enthusiastic in participating in the socialization and became a good alternative in increasing students' knowledge related to portion intake and food variations.

Authors: Khalil Raghida Georges , Sassine Mario Edmond , Bajaher Mohammed , Shawtari Fekri Ali
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The paper aims to study the methodology and functional of Internal Audit (IA) during the transition to remote working methods necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis period. Design/methodology/approach: Data are collected over a sample of 352 internal audit departments in retail SMEs distributed in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The six variables are measured using a reflective model. An exploratory factor analysis is applied to gauge the measurement model’s validity and reliability. Findings: The research findings revealed that internal auditing within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the Qatari retail sector is not sufficiently advanced. The focus of internal auditing primarily revolves around compliance audits rather than performance audits, thereby limiting their degree of agility and strategy which negatively affects the IA methodology. Conversely, for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) retail companies the research hypotheses were validated showing an IA functions evolution, an IA reassurance and IA agility that are conducted throughout a remote working and a strategic design that affect positively IA working methodology. Originality: The originality impregnates by the fact that reviews of traditional audit working methods were updated and shaped according to the deficiencies that couldn’t be identified during a pre COVID-19 period. A traditional audit plan may not work in this situation. The originality of the study consists of estimating IA methodological review through an agile approach that provides internal reassurance and risk attenuation.

Published: September 2024

This pilot study investigated the amounts of plastic litter captured by water structures. It is based on hydraulic experiments using flume models of the sluice gate and trash racks. Plastic elements of different shapes and sizes were introduced to the flume upstream of the water device. The study measured the number of plastic elements captured by the device. The outcomes of the study suggest that for each device, it should be possible to determine the size of elements beyond which they can capture plastic elements in substantial quantities. The findings should be helpful in designing future experiments on the capture of plastic elements by water structures
Inverse gas chromatographic characterization of halloysite-carbon composites as adsorbents for skin disinfectants from water solutions
Authors: Słomkiewicz Piotr , Szczepanik Beata , Frydel Laura , Włodarczyk-Makuła Maria
Published: September 2024

The influence of physicochemical parameters of halloysite-carbon composites on the adsorption of skin disinfectants was investigated. The dispersive surface free energy and acid-base properties of halloysite-carbon composites were determined using inverse gas chromatography. The free adsorption energy was higher for all halloysite-carbon composites compared to the unmodified halloysite, which acted as a less electron-donating adsorbent. In contrast, the composite obtained using halloysite nanotubes (HNT) and ground microcrystalline cellulose as the carbon precursor exhibited the highest free adsorption energy and the Kb/Ka ratio. These results suggest that the free adsorption energy can be an additional factor influencing the adsorption process. We demonstrated that the composite with the highest free adsorption energy is effective for removing triclosan, chloroxylenol and chlorophene from water. The acid-base properties of halloysite-carbon composites enhance the adsorption of these compounds due to their acidic character. The composite with the highest Kb/Ka ratio removes adsorbates from aqueous solutions with the greatest efficiency. Parameters such as free dispersion energy, electron-donating, or electron-accepting properties of the adsorbent help explain why these composites exhibit high adsorption capabilities.

Authors: Chung Meghan V. , Lewbart Gregory A. , Westermeyer Hans D. , Love Kim R. , Dombrowski Daniel S.
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to analyze the use of rebound tonometry, as a noninvasive diagnostic tool, in arachnids.

METHODS

5 juvenile (yearling) female and 1 juvenile male curlyhair tarantulas (Tliltocatl albopilosus, previously Brachypelma albopilosum) were used to track estimated ventral opisthosoma pressures over a 9-month period of time. Younger, growing animals were selected as they are more likely than adults to go through multiple molts throughout the 9 months of the study length. An iCare TONOVET TV01 rebound tonometer was used to measure the estimated ventral opisthosoma pressures of the spiders. Measurements were obtained from the ventral opisthosoma, 1 of the thinnest areas of exocuticle throughout the body. Readings were obtained once per week from the ventral opisthosoma for the first 2 months, then once every 2 weeks for 1 month, then back to once per week for the remainder of the study. Additional measurements were obtained following each ecdysis, after a 2% body weight sampling of hemolymph, and at the end of the study to evaluate readings in response to induction of general anesthesia with 5% isoflurane gas and oxygen flow at 2 L/min for 10 minutes.

RESULTS

The average of all estimated ventral opisthosoma pressure when spiders were not in molt was 26.19 mm Hg (SD, 3.54), with a statistically significant decrease postmolt to an average of 15.31 mm Hg (SD, 3.81), followed by a gradual increase back to premolt pressures over a 3-week period with an average of 22 days (SD, 1.93). Estimated ventral opisthosoma pressures decreased post hemolymph removal. There is not sufficient evidence that estimated ventral opisthosoma pressures changed over time following the anesthesia.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This study demonstrates that tonometry can be used to generally assess the estimated ventral opisthosoma pressure, which could correlate with where a spider is in an ecdysis cycle.

In 2023, the Ministry ABC suspects that there has been manipulation of the financial statements of PT X, with reporting profits for years but negative cash flow, failure to pay so that it was sued for bankruptcy. The research aims to analyze indications of manipulation of financial statements and internal control over financial reports (ICOFR) at PT X. The research uses secondary data in the form of company annual reports from 2012-2022. Indications of financial report manipulation are obtained from the Beneish M-Score calculation. ICOFR analysis is carried out by scoring using the manual content method of 90 ICOFR A Compendium of Approaches and Examples indicators. The research results show that there are indications of manipulation of financial reports except in 2020 and 2021 and internal control over financial reports is getting better from year to year. Good ICOFR score does not guarantee that financial reports are free from indications of manipulation.

Analysis of The Impact of Numerical Parameters on Computational Fluid Dynamics of Flow in Burner Chambers
Authors: Cordeiro Juliana de Oliveira , Tofaneli Luzia Aparecida , Oliveira Turan Dias , Santos Alex Álisson Bandeira
Published: September 2024

Objective: This study investigates the impact of different burner geometries and turbulence models on biodiesel flow, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to optimize the flow within the combustion chambers.
 
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework is based on studies regarding the performance of biodiesel blends, burners with rotational flow, and the application of different turbulence models in CFD simulations. The literature shows that rotational flow can improve mixing and combustion, but simulations depend on mesh refinement and the choice of turbulence model.
 
Method: Eighteen simulations were conducted using Ansys CFX 17.1 software, employing meshes with different levels of refinement (Coarse, Medium, Fine), two turbulence models (k-ε and RNG k-ε), in addition to three three-dimensional burner models: without guide vanes (Without Swirl), with a shallow angle (Swirl Low), and with a steep angle (Swirl High).
 
Results and Discussion: The results show that mesh refinement had a significant impact on the biodiesel volumetric fraction, with higher concentrations observed in finer meshes. Differences between the turbulence models were minor. Comparing the geometries, the Swirl High configuration exhibited more turbulent flow with clear vortex formation, higher velocities, and better fuel dispersion.
 
Research Implications: The findings suggest that optimizing burner geometry and using refined meshes can significantly improve biodiesel combustion efficiency in industrial burners. These improvements may lead to a reduction in NOx emissions and other pollutants. Thus, the use of this type of geometry may increase the adoption of biodiesel in the industry, contributing to a reduction in environmental impact.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the influence of burner design and mesh refinement in CFD simulations. The practical application of these results can guide the development of more efficient and sustainable burners, promoting the use of biodiesel as an ecological alternative to fossil fuels, particularly in the industrial sector.

Published: September 2024

Wie kann sich die akademische Philosophie im 21. Jahrhundert globaler ausrichten? Sprich: Wie kann man globale Verflechtungen und die reichhaltige Diversität nichtwestlichen Denkens stärker in der philosophischen Forschung berücksichtigen?Florian Scheidl liefert dazu Grundlagenreflexionen: Durch philosophische Begriffsanalyse und historische Kontextualisierung fundiert problematisiert er den Eurozentrismus in der Philosophie und den Ausschluss nichtwestlichen Denkens. Er analysiert die Strukturen und Kernargumente der «Interkulturellen Philosophie», die sich gegen diese Diskriminierung stellt, und arbeitet systematisch die Schwachstellen und Widersprüchlichkeiten dieser Bewegung heraus. Jenseits von «Eurozentrismus» und «Interkulturalität» exploriert er so neue Wege für eine global orientierte Theorie und Praxis der Philosophie.

Von der Dekonstruktion zur Rekonstruktion - David Friedrich Strauß’ Ambitionen als Literarhistoriker im Kontext der Literaturgeschichtsschreibung des 19. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Kohler Daniela
Published: September 2024

Der Theologe David Friedrich Strauß prägte mit seiner epochemachenden Schrift«Das Leben Jesu, kritisch bearbeitet» (1835/36) wie kaum ein anderer dieKulturgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Weitgehend unbekannt hingegen sinddie literaturhistorischen Monographien, die er nach dem unfreiwilligen Abbruchseiner theologischen Karriere verfasst hat. Dieses Buch beleuchtet Strauß’ literarhistorisches Œuvre im Kontext der Literaturgeschichtsschreibung seiner Zeit. Dadurch wird ein bis anhin kaum erforschter Werkstrang von Strauß philologisch und wissenschaftshistorisch beleuchtet. Zugleich liefert die Studie einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Evolution von Literaturgeschichtsschreibung und Literaturwissenschaft in prägenden Phasen ihrer Professionalisierung und disziplinären Konsolidierung.
Tariff Policy and Economic Growth in Nigeria
Authors: Olaleye Olabisi Imoleayo  , Yussuff Rukayat Omobolanle
Published: September 2024

This study examined the impact of trade protectionism (tariffs) and economic growth /productivity in Nigeria between 1990-2021 using relevant time series data obtained from CBN Statistical Bulletin. Econometric techniques such as unit root, cointegration, and the ARDL model technique of analysis were adopted in order to determine the impact of the tariff and other variables such as exchange rate, export, import, foreign direct investment, and trade openness on economic growth/productivity in Nigeria.
The findings show that the coefficient of ECT is negative and indicates that 68.82% of the disequilibrium in the model is offset by the short-run annually to restore the long-run equilibrium. In the short run, at a 5% level of significance, the effect of TAR and IMP on RGDP is positive but statistically insignificant; TRO and LEXC have a negative and statistically insignificant effect on RGDP. However, the effect of EXP is negative but significant on RGDP. In the LR, the ARDL indicates that TAR, TRO, LEXC, EXP, and FDI positively affect RGDP. TAR and EXP are significant at the 5% level. IMP negatively affects RGDP. The R-squared shows that in the long run, 83.10% of the variation of the independent variables affects the dependent. The F-statistic (3.99) and a p-value (ρ) of 0.007827 show the existence of a strong linear dependency between the dependent and independent variables.
The conclusion is that tariffs and other trade variables stimulate economic growth. Since tariffs and exports are seen as sources of income to the government and FDI as a source of employment generation, they should be encouraged, and imports should be discouraged to a reasonable extent to help sustain economic growth and productivity. Trade policy should also be made to improve tariff imposition in Nigeria.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the factors that influence tax audit effectiveness in the context of Ghana.
Design/ Methodology/Approach: The study uses the quantitative approach and survey design. Stratified sampling is adopted to select a sample of 205 auditors from tax auditors in DTRD of GRA. The survey is conducted to obtain primary data by distributing a structured research questionnaire to respondents. A hierarchical regression analysis was adopted to analyze the data obtained using SPSS.   
Findings: Organizational and regulatory factors are significant predictors of tax audit effectiveness, but tax auditor factors have no significant influence on tax audit effectiveness.
Implications/Research limitations: The study extends the literature on tax audit effectiveness and its determining factors, especially in developing countries like Ghana. However, it is limited to only tax auditors within DTRD of GRA.
Practical implications: The study's findings have the potential to influence GRA's top management to enhance their organizational arrangements and management support for tax audit activities, enhancing the process for the state's benefit.
Originality of value: This study brings to bear the major determinants of tax audit effectiveness for enhanced revenue mobilization in a developing country context that are not predominant in existing literature.
Economic Implications and Public Readiness for Urban Green Space Development in Agra: A Strategic Evaluation in the City of Taj
Authors: Roy Uttam Kumar , Sharma Deeksha
Published: September 2024

Urban green spaces (UGSs) improve the environmental value of the city as well as the quality of life for citizens. Unfortunately, many cities in India are lagging behind the minimum standard of UGS required in the city. For example, Agra city in India, one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world, represents two distinct realities of UGS in the same city. One is the focus of tourism, and the rest is the place of common people with very limited public green spaces, leading to multiple social issues (like spatial polarization, etc.). The secondary data concludes that the PPGC of Agra is lower than the standards, and the ongoing schemes are approached through quantitative methods. Despite having many UGS development schemes, Agra's UGS shows stalled growth. This research examines the policies and programs of UGS development (AMRUT, SCM, etc.) and reviews them to understand the unique gaps and possible regulatory interventions. The study includes an assessment of stakeholders' readiness to accept plausible UGS strategies using an analytical analysis approach. The primary data shows that PPP is the requirement for the integrated development of UGSs. The planners can make policies highlighting citizen's rights and responsibilities to enhance UGSs in Agra.

Published: September 2024

Vietnamese historical printing woodblock, engraved with Han or Nom characters, have earned UNESCO recognition as World Documentary Heritage. However, after hundreds of years, the number of these woodblocks is gradually diminishing due to loss or damage over time. This poses the challenge of restoring the 3D digital model of these woodblocks based on the remaining imprints on traditional paper. In the execution of this restoration task, 3D processing techniques play a pivotal role, determining the final quality of the restored 3D models. Current 3D processing techniques often fall short when applied to woodblock due to the intricate manual carving process that imparts a distinct cultural essence to each plate. In this work, we delve into the research and propose 3D processing techniques tailored for the restoration of 3D models from 2D imprints. These techniques have been integrated to form a comprehensive 3D processing pipeline for the woodblock restoration task. In the experimentation, we conducted an evaluation of the the effectiveness of our proposed methods. The result showed that these techniques are appropriate and contribute to addressing the restoration problem.

Authors: Smith Matthew , Borgehammar Jane , Young Jodi L. , Rhon Daniel I.
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVES: To quantify the proportion of conference abstracts in sports and orthopaedic physical therapy that progressed to peer-reviewed manuscript publication, and to identify factors associated with publication after 2011.

DESIGN: Retrospective publication audit.

METHODS: Abstracts presented in the orthopaedic and sports physical therapy academies of the American Physical Therapy Association between 2012 and 2017 were identified. Titles, key words, and author names were systematically searched to identify subsequent complete manuscript publication. Type of presentation, section presented, academic affiliation, study design, and country of origin were explored for association with likelihood of manuscript publication.

RESULTS: The number of accepted abstracts more than doubled between 2012 and 2017. Orthopaedic Academy abstracts, and poster presentations were more common (68% and 65%, respectively). Almost half (47%) of the abstracts presented in these sections during this timeframe went on to publication, ranging from 60.4% in 2012 to 32.8% in 2017. The odds of publication were greater for platform presentations (versus posters), authors with an academic affiliation, international authors, earlier years, and for experimental, observational, or qualitative studies.

CONCLUSION: Abstract acceptance has increased over time. Manuscript publication of orthopaedic and sports physical therapy abstracts have also increased compared to previous reporting (24%-47%), showing progress with regard to research dissemination as measured by successful navigation through peer review.

Factors Associated With Sports Injuries in Adolescents Who Play Team Sports at a Nonelite Level: A Scoping Review
Authors: Sainsbury David A. , Downs Jenny , Netto Kevin , McKenna Leanda J.
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this scoping review were to map the evidence for promising injury risk factors in adolescents who played team sports at a nonelite level and to identify gaps in knowledge.

DESIGN: Scoping review.

LITERATURE SEARCH: Online databases (CINAHL, Embase, Medline, ProQuest, PsycINFO, Scopus, and SPORTDiscus) were searched.

STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies were included if participants were adolescents who played nonelite team sports and exposure to at least 1 potential risk factor for sport-related musculoskeletal injury was evaluated.

DATA SYNTHESIS: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was used.

RESULTS: From 12 077 studies, 377 studies were included; 199 were prospective, 109 were retrospective, and 69 were cross-sectional in design. Soccer was the most frequently investigated sport and females represented 30% of total participants. The most promising potential risk factors (highest proportion of studies) for injury were training load (94%), playing in competition (91%) and previous injury (80%). Less research has investigated psychosocial factors with no study investigating factors over the entire biopsychosocial domain. Considerable methodological heterogeneity existed between studies.

CONCLUSIONS: The promising potential risk factors identified in this review require further investigation to explore causal relationships. The heterogeneity found within the current research with respect to potential risk factor variable measures, observation period definitions, and injury definitions may provide limitations when trying to formulate conclusions from meta-analyses using pooled studies.

Authors: Duong Vicky , Dennis Simone , Ferreira Manuela L. , Nicolson Philippa J.A. , Robbins Sarah R. , Venkatesha Venkatesha , Wang Xia , Hunter David J.
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: To determine if participants demonstrate distinct trajectories of step count following total knee replacement, and whether their baseline characteristics differ.

DESIGN: Longitudinal repeated measures study within a randomized-controlled trial.

METHODS: Participants were recruited from 3 hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Only participant data from the intervention group were used for this study (n = 51). Baseline data including demographics, pain (0-10 numerical rating scale), 13-item Patient Activation Measure scale, and modified Computer Self-efficacy Scale were collected. Participants received an activity tracker to monitor daily step counts. Latent class analyses were used to identify distinct trajectories of step count from baseline to 3-month follow-up. Baseline characteristics were compared using multinomial logistic regression.

RESULTS: 43 participants were included in the analysis. Participants were predominantly female (n = 30, 70%) with an average age (SD) of 67.7 (7.5) years and body mass index (SD) of 30.3 (6.0). Three distinct step count trajectories were identified: a “high and rapidly increasing” group (n = 6, 14%), who began at 6251 ± 3508 steps and achieved 12794 ± 3173 steps by weeks 9 to 11; a “low and gradually increasing” (n = 24, 56%), (baseline: 2843 ± 1058 steps, 12 weeks: 6441 ± 1677 steps) ; and “high and gradually increasing” (n = 13, 30%), (baseline: 6299 ± 1777 steps, 12 weeks: 9614 ± 1436 steps). At baseline, body mass index and pain significantly differed between groups.

CONCLUSION: Three distinct step count trajectories were found in people with total knee replacement. Findings highlight the variability between patient groups and the need for support for those who may not be reaching prescribed step goals. JOSPT Open 2023;1(1):78-85.

A multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients with the combined form of hand phlegmon (a clinical observation)
Authors: Chepurnaya Yu. L. , Khentov A. A. , Orekhova O. V. , Shabalin A. A. , Khalfaoui S.
Published: September 2024

The present clinical observation describes a case of a patient with the combined form of hand phlegmon who received a complex three-stage therapy in the hospital for 22 days: 5 days in the department of purulent surgery where she was operated twice and received antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapy. The next stage of wound treatment was in the day hospital for 14 days. After, the patient was re-hospitalized to the department of hand trauma where she stayed for 3 days. There, plastic closure of the wound defect was made with a posterior interosseous forearm flap. Terms of treatment depended on the wound process. We reduced the length of stay in the 24-hour hospital, but maintained our control of the patient in a day hospital. Thus, such an algorithm allowed us not only to reduce economic costs for the treatment, but also to form a significantly much comfortable psychological situation for the patient. Such an approach creates in patients an idea that their treatment is an integral and complex multi-stage process which assumes the importance of balanced assessment of long-term outcomes just at the early stages of wound treatment.

Treatment of patients with total chronic hematogenous osteomyelitis still remains one of the important and difficult problems of purulentsurgery.

   Objective: To increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with chronic total osteomyelitis of long bones.

   Materials and methods of research. A retrospective analysis of outcomes after managing 38 patients with chronic total hematogenous osteomyelitis of long bones has been made. Patients were treated with original techniques of defect plastic surgery and physical antiseptic methods, such as CO2-laser and low-frequency ultrasound.

   Research results. Of these, 24 patients with total osteodestructive changes underwent resection of the tibia and humerus, followed by their replacement with the fibula. In 14 patients with process location in the lower third of the tibia, grooved osteotomy was performed, followed by microsurgical plastic surgery of the defect with a fasciocutaneous flap on a vascular pedicle.

   Conclusion. The described surgical treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of long bones has high efficiency and minimal number of relapses at the early and late postoperative periods.
Pottery of the Russian Population of Western Siberia of the 17th – 18th Centuries: Production Technology and Chronology
Authors: Bazarnaya K. O.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The purpose of the study is to develop a chronology of the existence of pottery of the Russian population of Western Siberia in Modern times. The task is to identify and analyze chronologically significant signs of pottery from archaeological complexes of Modern times. The processing of dated archaeological complexes containing ceramic material served as the basis for determining the chronology of pottery. To build a chronological scale of Russian ceramics of Modern times, a technical and technological analysis of ceramics from urban monuments: Mangazeya, Tobolsk. The definition of ceramic production technology was based on the historical and cultural approach of ceramics research proposed by A. A. Bobrinsky. The analysis of ceramic manufacturing technology includes the following sections: the study of the composition of the molding masses, the method of constructing the vessel, methods of surface treatment, firing.Results. Ceramics from the layers of the Tarsk fortress of the 17th and 18th centuries are analyzed. The most common recipes for clay paste are the following: clay + sand, clay + chamotte, clay + organic. Most of the dishes are made on a circle or by sculptural modeling with modification on a circle and fired in a reducing medium. The ceramics of the Tobolsk Kremlin are made of clay paste consisting of clay, sand of different sizes and concentrations, clay and organic, clay +stone. It is made by sculptural modeling with modification on a circle, fired in a reducing medium. Typical for Mangazei ceramics are admixtures of sand, chamotte, dry clay and organic. The dishes were made sculptural by tape with a hand-made potter’s wheel.Conclusion. Three chronological periods were revealed. The predominance in the first quarter of the 17th century of polished tableware, in the third quarter of the 17th century of ceramics made entirely on a potter’s wheel, an increase in the variability of additional surface treatment. The 18th century was characterized by a greater variety of ornamented and glazed ceramics, and a new shape named “krynka” appeared. The morphological features of the profiling of the corollas of pots during the selected periods are revealed. Further analysis of ceramics from reliably dated archaeological complexes will allow us to create detailed chronological scale for Russian Siberian ceramics.
Buryat Traditional Bow in the Collection of the Russian Museum of Ethnography (According to Documents on Receipt before the 1930s)

Published: September 2024

Purpose. The Russian Museum of Ethnography (St. Petersburg) is today one of the largest specialized ethnographic museums in Russia. Many weapons, including traditional bows, are stored in its funds. The source base of the study was 11 traditional bows collected in the territory of the Buryats (Baikal and Transbaikalia) or interpreted as Buryat and entered the museum before the 1930s.Results. The studied museum exhibits can be divided into two groups: compound bows and children’s toys. Compound bows (collections of Ts. Zhamtsarano, Lektsokom Zhabe, A. P. Barannikov) were damaged as a result of contact with moisture (flood in St. Petersburg in 1924) or dismantled into parts: horn plates and tendons detached, birch bark was removed, their geometry was violated. Three bows have the same wooden base, the same size of functional sections (handle, elastic shoulders, end stiffness zones), but a different set of overlays: two bows were strengthened along the front to the middle of the transition zones, one bow is additionally equipped with long end frontal overlays and side shoulder overlays. Similar morphometric parameters are observed on most objects from the museum collections of the Baikal region, are found in ancient images of bows and are associated with Buryat masters. The details of different bows are stored under the same number and cannot be used to characterize the traditional Buryat bow. Two bows are represented by children’s toys (assembled by S. I. Rudenko), one of which is additionally equipped with end stiffness zones and a double bowstring cutout.Conclusion. The described objects have direct analogies among the Buryat bows and reflect the local original weapon tradition of the 19th – early 20th centuries. Such products differ from the most popular Manchurian bows in Central Asia in the proportions of functional zones and technological techniques. These products confirm the fact that the solid wood base was one of the main distinguishing features of the Buryat tradition.

Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the ethnic history of the Kumandin people, one of the indigenous minorities of Russia. Its content determines the analysis of ethno-historical realities, political practices and academic discourse at the intersection of which the self–consciousness of this people was formed and transformed during the 17th – 21st centuries. The main sections of the work consider the history of the ethnonym “Kumandins” as a symbol of ethnic identity, the strategies of self-determination of Kumandins at different stages of their existence and the peculiarities of the social movement. A special section is devoted to the state support of the Kumandin public movement and its legal support. The work was carried out with the involvement of statistics, regulatory documents and field materials. According to the study results, it is concluded that the modern social movement of the Kumandin people, as well as the indigenous peoples of Russia in general, despite all the difficulties, is developing considering domestic and global political and legal support. Public organizations of Kumandin residents of the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic plan their activities in cooperation with federal and regional government agencies and academic centers. The effectiveness of this multi-level dialogue, which social activists conduct on behalf of the people, determines the prospects for its existence.
The History of the Discovery and Archaeological Research of the Paleo-Eskimo Site on the Wrangel Island (Northern Chukotka)
Authors: Lebedintsev A. I.
Published: September 2024

The article presents the history and study of the Paleo-Eskimo site of Chertov Ovrag on the Wrangel Island. The author describes results of excavations of this site, gives the characteristics of the complex of stone and bone tools, and discusses the dating of the archaeological monument. Warming in Arctic regions since 4 500 years ago has created an opportunity for sea hunters to migrate westward from the American Arctic. The emergence of the PaleoEskimo tradition in the extreme North-East of Asia is associated with the migration to the Bering Strait zone of the Paleo-Eskimo groups of Arctic America, which took place approximately 3 500 cal. years ago. The Chertov Ovrag site is a short-term hunting camp. Its inhabitants were hunters of marine mammals and could be engaged in the pricking of animals not far from the site on the coastal pebble strip. Stone artifacts have traces of wear, which probably indicates their long transportation in a leather bag and the possible making of tools and blanks outside the island. Most of the radiocarbon dating of the site back to the end of the 2nd – the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. Taking into account the correction or the reservoir effect, the age of the site should be determined at the turn of 1st millennium BC. The Wrangel culture, most likely, belongs to the most ancient stratum of the Paleo-Eskimo tribes, on the basis of which many coastal cultures of the Pacific North were formed. The range of Paleo-Eskimo cultures also includes the settlement of Unenen, located in the south of the Chukotka Peninsula, and the Tokarev culture of Northern Priokhotye.
Acheulo-Yabrudian Cultural Complex in the Levant and Questions of the Altai Middle Paleolithic Genesis
Authors: Kozlikin M. B. , Shunkov M. V.
Published: September 2024

Purpose. At the present stage of research, with the expansion of the source base, it became necessary to update the previously put forward thesis about the close similarity of the most ancient lithic industry from the Denisova Cave with the materials of the Acheulo-Yabrudian Cultural Complex in the Levant.Results. To identify possible cultural connections of the initial stage of the Middle Paleolithic of Altai Mountain with Near Eastern industries, we carried out a review of studies mainly of the last decade, devoted to materials from the Acheulo-Yabrudian complex of the second half of the Middle Pleistocene in the Levant. Acheulo-Yabrudian industries from the multi-layered caves of Qesem, Tabun and Misliya in Israel are considered as the main materials, for which a reliable geochronological and paleogeographical basis has been obtained. Comparative materials from the Denisova Cave became a representative archaeological collection from deposits of the second half of the Middle Pleistocene, the analysis of which made it possible to re-evaluate the technical and typological traditions of the Altai population at the beginning of the Middle Paleolithic.Conclusion. A comparison of ancient materials from the Denisova Cave with Near Eastern finds revealed the presence of common features, both at the level of technology and in typology. These include a stable tradition of re-utilization of flakes, techniques of ventral thinning and proximal truncation of flakes, parallel technology to obtain elongated blanks, and typologically expressive series of side scrapers such as Quina and demi-Quina.
