The underlying emotional background of quaternary palaeontology: nostalgia and Ubi sunt in a postdictive science
Authors: HORTOLÀ Policarp
Published: February 2024

This short essay aims to provide insight into the emotional background underlying Quaternary palaeontology and encourage scholars to thoroughly discuss the psychological determining factors behind its practice. The nostalgia for past times and the feeling of loss of a world that will never return are the emotional landmark of Quaternary palaeontology. Due to its taste for perished things and nostalgic turn into the past, Quaternary palaeontology participates in the bias of the pagan version of the Ubi sunt elegiac motif. While this work specifically concerns Quaternary palaeontology, it can probably serve as a guide to reveal the perceptions and motivations behind other sciences.
Contributions to the biography of a forgotten translator of Herodotus’ The Histories: Dimitrie I. Ghica
Authors: CEOBANU Adrian-Bogdan
Published: February 2024

Dimitrie I. Ghica began translating – in late 19th century – from Greek into Romanian Herodotus’ The Histories, in four volumes. It was a tremendous effort carried out by the person who in 1880 was awarded by the Romanian Academy for having translated the 4th book of the work in question. Decades later, his name seems to have been forgotten; a couple of press articles managed to point out, though, aspects of his biography . Posterity does seem to have forgotten about him too soon. In the following lines, my endeavour is to econstruct – even partially – the biography of a person with an important diplomatic and literary activity.
Mining Data on the Spread of Early Metallurgy: Revisiting the Carpathian Hypothesis with Ancient Genomes
Authors: VICAS Astrid
Published: February 2024

This study presents results relevant to understanding the spread of early metallurgy obtained by extracting patterns from a dataset of ancient genomes. It finds that, conservatively, the spread of metallurgy into Italy Remedello Chalcolithic culture can be linked to a probably Bulgaria Chalcolithic-shifted population represented by the genome of n individual associated with Bodrogkeresztúr pottery in Romania. Also conservatively, either a population related to this sample or to populations sampled from the Chalcolithic era Great Hungarian Plain can be associated with Italy North Bell Beakers and some Bell Beakers in France. Traces the samples examined have left give a sense of the geographical pread of the populations they represent. This paper illustrates the use of a data mining technique to support archaeological and humanistic inquiries on cultural development.
The iconographical and mythological contexts of serpent(s)-fighting scene on the Old Assyrian seal impression from Kültepe (the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts I 2 b 1591)
Authors: YASENOVSKAYA ANASTASIA , SHELESTIN VLADIMIR , NEMIROVSKY ALEXANDRE
Published: February 2024

An impression of an Old Assyrian seal from Kültepe from collection of Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow carries an image that was not recognized but by present authors and is of great interest as it depicts a scene of a hero’s battle with a serpent-like demonic character (most likely, this is a double or two-headed monster). Rarity of serpent-fighting scenes in the Ancient Near Eastern art makes it important to study the composition and plot of the impression in its traceable iconographical and mythological contexts, in order to establish its cultural connotations (Anatolian, Syrian, Mesopotamian), considering that Kültepe was the center of interaction and synthesis of several cultural traditions. It turns out that the closest iconographical and mythological parallels to the image in study can be found in Eastern Anatolia and its main routs can be assigned to local (Hattian-Hittite-Hurrian) cultural symbiosis.

Hortfund – Einzelfund – Einstückhort. Versuch einer Begriffsschärfung anhand des Beispiels der rumänischen Tüllenbeile
Authors: DIETRICH Oliver
Published: February 2024

Single finds have so far often been neglected by archaeologists. This is partly based on a terminological fuzziness: the category ‘single find‘ is often not clearly differentiated from artefacts without information on find circumstances. The present paper used the Bronze Age socketed axes from Romania as a case study to show the potential value of real single finds (i.e. artefacts that have securely been found isolated). Mapping of single finds and hoards with socketed axes results in a complementary spatial patterning – regions with single finds and hoards exclude one another. This speaks clearly against an interpretation of single axes as lost objects. The find contexts of some single finds further sustain another interpretation, that of depositions of a single object.
A forgotten cemetery at the edge of Lake Brateş. Funerary finds unearthed in the area of Vînători-La Jolică archaeological site
Authors: MANDACHE Tudor , ADAMESCU Adrian , AILINCĂI Sorin Cristian
Published: February 2024

This paper presents the preliminary study of a cemetery, dated between the second half of the XVIth century and the beginning of the XVIIth century, uncovered in the northern part of the Vînători-La Jolică archaeological site area. The site was first excavated in 1972-1974 by archaeologists M. Florescu and M. Nicu, when, among other discoveries, they managed to identify a previously unknown “feudal” necropolis. Unfortunately, none of these findings have ever been rigorously published, only mentioned. The present article strives to continue the effort of publishing inedited materials and archaeological contexts that are part of the new excavations carried out in the Vînători-La Jolică dig site which refer, at this time, to the Late Mediaeval/premodern period.
Same or different? Interdisciplinary analyses on the Costișa and Monteoru pottery from Siliștea-Pe Cetățuie settlement
Authors: DROB Ana , BOLOHAN Neculai , RĂȚOI Bogdan , DROB Sebastian
Published: February 2024

The archaeometric study of prehistoric pottery is an effective tool for investigating this abundant category of artifacts from an archaeological site. In this study, the physicochemical analyses used are optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and Micro-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (μFTIR). Through these techniques were studied 48 ceramic fragments belonging to the Costișa and Monteoru ceramic groups from the Middle Bronze Age settlement from Siliștea-Pe Cetățuie. Also, the ceramic fragments were investigated macroscopically, using criteria such as color, production technique, type, size, functionality and category of the vessel. The obtained results provided important data related to the ceramic technologies of the two communities from the studied settlement.
Justification of the Usurpation of Power by Hittite Kings
Authors: SAZONOV Vladimir , KÕIV Mait
Published: February 2024

The article explores the ways how Hittite kings justified their usurpations of power, such usurpations
happening almost constantly during the whole period of the Hittite kingdom, from the Old Hittite period until the fall
of the empire. It focuses on three outstanding texts illuminating prominent cases in the Hittite history: the
Proclamation of Telepinu which gives important information about several usurpations during the late 17th and 16th
century BC, the First Plague Prayer of Muršili I which illuminates the reaction to the 14th century BC usurpation of
Šuppiluliuma I, and the Apology of Ḫattušili III from the 13th century BC, which stands out as our best example of
justification of a successful usurpation in the ancient Near Eastern region. These three cases reveal different strategies
of justification accepted by the Hittite kings.
Return from the Hunt: a Re-Discovered Votive Relief from Northern Moesia Inferior
Authors: ALEXANDRESCU Cristina-Georgeta
Published: February 2024

Recent archival materials brought to attention a fragmentary marble votive relief found near Tulcea depicting the so-called Thracian horseman as a hunter with the prey in his raised right hand. This iconographic variant is very rare outside Thracia and the Balkans region. The evidence of the votive reliefs of the Thracian horseman in the northern Moesia Inferior is not rich but features a great iconographical variety, hinting at an intended choice from the part of the dedicants of the votives and great awareness of the iconographical composition. The material (imported marble) and the dimensions of several of the reliefs uncovered up to now in the region are quite large and make plausible the idea of votives intended for cult places/sanctuaries. The relief discussed is singular among the similar finds in the region, for it bears also an inscription on its upper border.

Support Supervision for Community Health Workers in Uganda: Implications of Village Health Teams in Mitooma District
Authors: Ngabirano Augustino , Igwe Mathew Chibunna
Published: February 2024

Background: Support supervision for Community Health Workers is a field that is undervalued worldwide. The performance of Uganda’s Community Health Workers, also known as Village Health Teams, is impacted by their lack of supportive supervision. This study evaluated the impact of support supervision on VHT involvement in community-based healthcare in Uganda’s Mitooma area. Method: This article’s empirical analysis is based on data gathered between September and October 2021 from 341 Village Health Teams from eight Sub-counties in the Mitooma area as part of a cross-sectional study. Data were gathered via semi-structured questionnaires, focus groups, and key informant interviews. STATA version 14.2 was used for descriptive analysis, and manual methods were used for qualitative (thematic and content) analysis. Results: In Mitooma district, support supervision is still dispersed even though it is thought to be a tool for encouraging Village Health Teams, facilitating continuing training, and keeping them accountable for their work. Lack of funds, irregular supervision, and a lack of guidelines were among the challenges limiting support supervision in the district. Conclusion: It was generally acknowledged that support supervision is still undervalued in the VHT program. Stakeholders suggested that in order to solve these issues, there should be more financing, supervisor job descriptions that are explicit, and in-person supervisory meetings.
Survival Rate and Growth Performance of Holothuria scabra Towards Different Stocking Densities and Feeding with Spirulina
Authors: Syed Mahiyuddin Syed Mohamad Azim , Abd Latip Muhammad Asyraf , Ilias Zainuddin , Ghazali Khairudin , Nik Sin Nik Daud
Published: February 2024

Holothuria scabra is widely used in traditional medicine or consumed as a healthy or exotic food, causing wild stocks to decrease. Therefore, aquaculture is the best solution to address this issue and support the growing market demand. However, up to now, H. scabra production is facing problems related to the nursery phase, survival rate of larvae and juveniles, production cost, and broodstock for mass production. In this study, the juveniles of H. scabra were divided into three different stocking densities and fed with 1 g of dissolved Spirulina powder once on alternate days. Their length was recorded every two weeks. After six weeks, the juveniles reared with 100 individual densities showed the highest survival rate at 80% compared to 200 and 400 stocking densities. Meanwhile, every tank showed a positive growth rate, indicating that Spirulina powder could potentially promote the growth of juvenile H. scabra. The specific growth rate for stocking density at 100, 200, and 400 were 1.2, 0.86, and 1.37%/day, respectively. In conclusion, the optimum initial stocking density is between 100 and 200 individuals for a 1-ton fibreglass tank with a 500 L water capacity. The Spirulina can be used as the main protein source as compared to other diets for juvenile H. scabra.
Integrating Teacher-Centred and Student-Centred Approaches for Effective Online Teaching
Authors: Eksangkul Natcha , Li Zheng , Liu Nianci
Published: February 2024

Since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, online teaching and learning has replaced traditional face-to-face instruction and will inevitably disrupt the educational demand. Both students and teachers face the challenges that come with the sudden transition, especially in the issue of teaching approaches. Teachers employ both teacher-centred and student-centred approaches in online processes, and both approaches present advantages and disadvantages when applied to online settings. However, the two approaches must be redefined according to a change of context. The transformation and comparisons of the pros and cons of the two approaches will enable teachers to design and organize more effective online teaching. Therefore, this paper provides a new approach, namely the integrated-centred approach (ICA), which teachers of online classrooms can adopt to achieve effective online instruction, along with practical guidelines for teachers to apply this approach and the significance for further research of online teaching pedagogy.
Investigating the Local Folktales in the English Language Teaching Textbooks: A Case from Central Sulawesi
Authors: Hastini  , Lebagi Desrin , Bochari Siska , Mukrim  , Wahyudin
Published: February 2024

As a culturally diverse country, every region in Indonesia has local wisdom that must be passed down from generation to generation. Folktale is a type of local wisdom shared by every Indonesian tribe. Pamona tribe has potential folktales that could be incorporated into English learning materials. This integration will not only benefit ELT, but will also help to preserve the local heritage.  This descriptive study attempted to investigate the inclusion of local folktales in English teaching materials in the South Pamona Sub-district, Central Sulawesi. The researchers used interviews, observation, and document analysis to collect data. An English teacher and some high school students from the South Pamona Sub-district served as informants. The documents were EFL teachers’ English textbooks. The data were examined using an interactive model. The findings revealed that all the folktales found in English textbooks originated outside Sulawesi. As a result, this study suggests that it is critical to document the existing folktales in South Pamona so that EFL teachers can use them in English teaching materials to preserve and appreciate local wisdom among Indonesian learners.
Teachers’ Role in School Decision-Making Process: A Case Study of Teachers and School Leaders Perceptions in Rwanda Public Secondary School
Authors: Musengamana Irene , Shaoan Md Mirajur Rhaman , Namanyane Tebatso , Lafferty Niamh , Uzochukwu Okafor Miracle
Published: February 2024

The significance of decision-making in educational institutions is widely acknowledged as a pivotal element in school leadership and administration. The school decision-making process involves selecting and determining crucial concerns that benefit the school’s and its constituents’ overall welfare in Rwanda. All secondary public schools in Rwanda’s community are expected to participate actively in this process. This research examines the role and contributions of teachers in the decision-making process and their level of engagement. It also investigates their lived or felt experiences while executing school choices in which they were not involved. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 8 teachers and 2 school principals from 2 public secondary schools in Rwanda. It was concluded that in the context of Rwanda’s school teachers’ extended invitations to engage in the processes and conversations around school decision-making, their actual desire or willingness to participate needs to be higher, suggesting a limited degree of engagement. The promotion of collaboration and collectivism is enhanced among the school community members. It plays a significant part in augmenting instructors’ work happiness and motivation. Nevertheless, instructors argue that following instructions without engaging in decision-making may lead to inflexibility and difficulties. They emphasize the need to integrate teachers’ perspectives into every decision made by school management.

Published: February 2024

The article presents studies in the agrocenoses of winter wheat conducted in the conditions of the Ryazan region on dark gray forest soils. The productivity of varieties of winter grain crops – Moskovskaya 56, Ethane and their reaction to the application of organic fertilizers has been studied. When applying manure at the rate of 15 t/ha (the standard dose used in the farm), the yield increase averaged +3.8 c/ha (45.8 c/ha) for the Moskovskaya 56 variety, +4.9 c/ha (46.9 c/ha) – Ethane grade, to control (Moskovskaya grade 56, without applying organic fertilizers). The maximum increase in wheat grain was detected in the variants with the introduction of manure of 29 t/ha, where the increase in control was 56 – 11.9 c/ha (51.9 c/ha) for the Moskovskaya variety, 13.5 c/ha (53.5 c/ha) for the Ethane variety.

Factors Affecting the Decision-Making Styles of Branch Managers in Private Sector Banks
Authors: Hathurusinghe H. D. H. S , Jayawardena L. N. A. C
Published: February 2024

, Amidst a global recession, private banks grapple with challenges. This study has aimed to identify decision-making styles of 72 branch managers in five private sector banks of Sri Lanka, assessing the impact of perceived stress, self-efficacy, and heuristics. Results (using Multinomial logistic regression and correlation analyses), reveal a predominant rational decision-making style. The gender of the individual and the level of experience of managers in the banking sector, indicates a significant impact on the spontaneous decision-making style. Branch managers’ perceived stress positively correlates with dependent, avoidant, and spontaneous styles (p < 0.01). It negatively correlates with rational decision-making style. Self-efficacy significantly affects all decision-making styles (p < 0.05), excluding the rational style of decision-making. Availability heuristic significantly affects rational style (p < 0.05). Identifying decision-making styles aids tailored training and enhances strategic decision-making in organizations during challenging economic times.
