Authors: Ф.А. Бенкхадир , Л.А. Гнездилова , Д.И. Лазарев
Published: February 2020

Представлены результаты комплексной оценки системы содержания кобыл в центре репродукции «Хартли Хорс Хаус» (Московская область); мониторинга их состояния после осеменения и ультразвуковой диагностики жеребости. Животные содержатся в хороших санитарно-гигиенических условиях: температура воздуха в помещении 4–5 °С, относительная влажность воздуха 75 %; скорость движения воздуха – 0,3 м/с, освещенность – 150 ЛК. Качество корма по основным параметрам соответствует средним показателям нормы, за исключением несколько повышенного содержания клетчатки. В результате исследования крови жеребых кобыл установлено повышение количества эозинофилов в среднем в группе до 7±1,85 % и некоторое снижение показателя сегментоядерных нейтрофилов – в среднем в группе до 39±2,21 %. Все биохимические показатели сыворотки крови кобыл в первый период жеребости находились в пределах физиологических норм, за исключением увеличения уровня щелочной фосфатазы в сыворотке крови до 411,71±22,28 ед/л. Ультразвуковой мониторинг жеребости кобыл показал возможность проведения контроля его результативности: через 14–16 дней после осеменения плодное яйцо размером 15 мм визуализируется в правом роге матки; через 30 дней после осеменения визуализируется развивающийся эмбрион. На 65–70-й день после осеменения с точностью до 90 % возможно определить пол будущего жеребенка. В целях более успешной организации воспроизводства лошадей в центрах репродукции необходимо проводить комплексную оценку содержания, кормления кобыл с анализом структуры рациона и качества кормов, оценивать клинический статус животных после осеменения, применять метод трансректальной визуальной эхографии для ранней диагностики жеребости и морфометрической и функциональной оценки развития зародыша.
PERBEDAAN STRAIN DAN UMUR BETINA TERHADAP JUMLAH KETURUNAN LALAT BUAH (Drosophila melanogaster Meigen)
Authors: Taufika Ramadhan
Published: February 2020

A study was conducted on the differences in strain and female age on the number of descendants of fruit flies (Drospohila melanogaster Meigen) to determine the effect of strain and female age on the number of D. melanogaster offspring in normal, taxi and sepia strains. Five D. melanogaster ♂ normal crossed with 5 D. D. melanogaster ♀ normal, 5 D. melanogaster ♂ taxi crossed with 5 D. D. melanogaster ♀ taxi, 5 D. D. melanogaster ♂ sepia crossed with 5 D. D. melanogaster ♀ sepia. Age of the crossed female is 8-10 hours, 12-14 hours, 16-18 hours, 20-22 hours, and 24-26 hours after hatching from the pupa. Each group of crosses was repeated five times. D. melanogaster crossing was carried out at 25oC. Data were analyzed with factorial anava and then tested further with LSD (Least Significant Difference) of 5% significance level. Based on the results of the study note that there is an influence of strain and female age on the number of offspring. It is also known that normal strains produce the highest number of offspring, whereas taxi strains produce the fewest offspring. Age of females 20-22 hours produces the most number of offspring and is not significantly different from females 24-26 hours, while ages 8-10 hours produce the fewest number of offspring and are not significantly different from ages 12-14 hours.

Published: February 2020

Toxicity and hazard assessment of dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) was performed in acute, subacute, and chronic experiments, and its principal toxicometry parameters were determined.

It was found that on single exposure DOTP exhibits low toxicity and hazard. No resorptive and irritant effects on skin and mucous membrane of eyes were detected in animal experiments. The single inhalation exposure threshold limit value was set at 300 mg/m3, based on the results of monitoring of the functional state of the central nervous system and myocardium and hematological parameters.

Thirty-day subacute experiments (oral administration, inhalation exposure, and skin applications) revealed no accumulation of the compound.

Four-month chronic exposure to DOTP aerosols (concentration 96,8 mg/m3) caused disorder of the functional state of the central nervous system and myocardium, changes in the hematological and biochemical parameters, gas and acid-base status of the blood, and morphological changes in the lungs and heart. Embryotoxic, genotoxic and gonadotoxic effects were not detected.

The chronic inhalation exposure threshold limit value for DOTP (Limch) was set at 18,6 mg/m3, and the concentration of 3,4 mg/m3 was found to be ineffective.

The maximum allowable concentration of DOTP in the air of the working area was set at 3,0 mg/m3, hazard class 3.
IMMUNOTROPIC EFFECTS OF IVERMECTIN IN PRODUCTIVE AND LABORATORY ANIMALS
Authors: Gerunov T. V.
Published: February 2020

The aim of this work was to identify the immunotropic effects of ivermectin in productive and laboratory animals in real and simulated conditions. The studies were carried out on hybrid pigs at the age of 144 days reared in an industrial pig complex and on Wistar rats aged 5 months with a body weight of 230 - 250 g. For the experiments there was used acaricide insecticide Ivermin (Biovet Drwalew S.A., Poland), which was administered to pigs once subcutaneously in a dose of 0,2 mg / kg and to rats in a tenfold therapeutic dose. Blood samples were taken from pigs either before the administration of Ivermin, and 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days after the administration. The level of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgA) was determined in serum by the method of radial immunodiffusion according to Mancini. To prepare histopreparations, samples of thymus, spleen and lymph nodes were taken from rats 14 days after the administration of the preparation. For statistical processing of experimental data, Student’s T-test for dependent samples has been used.

When studying pigs’ blood serum, a decrease in the content of IgG was established in all periods of the study. A decrease in level of IgM and IgA was marked in 7 days after the experiment started. At the end of the experiment, the IgG level remained below the background value by 16,4%; IgM - by 15,2%; IgA – by 33%. In the rat thymus, a narrowing of the cortical substance was observed when a toxic dose of Ivermin was injected, with the splenic follicles reduced, and reproduction centers faintly pronounced. Hemosiderin accumulation was detected around the follicles. In the mesenteric lymph nodes, there was found a thickening of the capsule and the expansion of trabeculae. Cortical substance was narrow and paracortical zone was wide. The results of the study indicate a high risk of immunotoxic effect of ivermectin.

First records of tardigrades (Tardigrada) from Irish and Scottish leaf litter
Authors: Blagden B , DeMilio E , Hansen J.G , Kristensen R.M
Published: February 2020

The findings of an investigation of the tardigrade fauna associated with beech (Fagus sylvatica) leaf litter in the Republic of Ireland and Scotland are reported. The present study is the first to specifically target this microhabitat in either country. Tardigrades were extracted from 16 samples of leaf litter obtained from seven locations (one in Ireland and six in Scotland). Twenty five tardigrade taxa were encountered including seven that represent new records for the Republic of Ireland (Pseudechiniscus sp. nov., Diphascon pingue group sp., Hypsibius cf. convergens, Hypsibius cf. scabropygus, Itaquascon cf. globuliferum, Ursulinius sp. nov., and Minibiotus sp. nov.) and four for Scotland (Bertolanius weglarskae, Hypsibius cf. scabropygus, Adropion belgicae and Pilatobius ramazzottii). The collection of several taxa that either represent new records or undescribed species within a small number of samples demonstrates the importance for researchers to include leaf litter when assessing and reporting the tardigrade biodiversity of an area.
As If … A Game Theory Perspective on Self-Access Learning
Authors: Edsall Dominic G.
Published: February 2020

The applicability of game theory (Osborne, 2004) to the design and management of learning activities within a self-access learning center is discussed in relation to encouraging unmotivated students to engage more with autonomous study. Through discussion of some basic principles of game theory and how they might apply to self-access learning, a theoretical example is used to demonstrate how the costs and rewards of activities can be balanced using game theory in such a way as to encourage students to complete activities in order to foster autonomy and motivation. Further examples from game theory are provided to show how it can explain some of the counterintuitive results often seen in self-access learning at Japanese universities. Possible future quantification metrics are briefly discussed in relation to the human-capital and social-capital costs and payoffs involved in student use of self-access learning centers. A game theory perspective on self-access learning may offer the potential benefit of providing a quantitative model that might allow the application of artificial intelligence and a complex dynamic systems approach to student usage data.

Despite therapeutic advances, the effective treatment for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains a major clinical challenge. Evasion of apoptosis through upregulating antiapoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) family members and p53 inactivation, and abnormal
activation of B-cell receptor signaling pathway are two important pathogenic factors for DLBCL. In this study, our aim is to explore a rational combination of BCL-2 inhibitor plus Brutons tyrosine kinase (BTK) blockade or p53 activation for treating DLBCL with the above characteristics. We
demonstrated that a novel BCL-2 selective inhibitor APG-2575 effectively suppressed DLBCL with BCL-2 high expression via activating the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. BTK inhibitor ibrutinib combined with BCL-2 inhibitors showed synergistic antitumor effect in DLBCL with mean expression
of BCL-2 and myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL-1) through upregulating the expression level of BIM and modulating MCL-1 and p-Akt expression. For p53 wild-type DLBCL with high expression of BCL-2, APG-2575 showed strong synergic effect with mouse double minute 2 (MDM2)p53 inhibitor APG-115 that
can achieve potent antitumor effect and markedly prolong survival in animal models. Collectively, our data provide an effective and precise therapeutic strategy through rational combination of BCL-2 and BTK or MDM2p53 inhibitors for DLBCL, which deserves further clinical investigation.

Resultados obtenidos por las instituciones educativas primarias adventistas chilenas en las pruebas del sistema de medición de la calidad de la educación (SIMCE)
Authors: León Vázquez Vicente
Published: February 2020

El Sistema de Medición de la Calidad de la Educación (SIMCE) chileno incluye una prueba que se administra a todos los alumnos del país desde 1988 hasta la fecha. Las instituciones educativas adventistas a lo largo del país han participado del SIMCE desde ese año. Los análisis fueron realizados en cuarto y octavo grados de enseñanza primaria, según los modelos empleados en las diferentes evaluaciones. Los resultados encontrados en esta investigación indican que en matemática es donde se lograron los progresos más significativos que en el resto de materias en el modelo PMRC y en comprensión del medio natural y social es la asignatura que mejor le ha ido, en el modelo TRI, a los colegios adventistas. Además, se encontró que, en general, las instituciones con un nivel socioeconómico bajo obtienen resultados significativamente inferiores que aquellas que pertenecen a un estrato socioeconómico medio o alto, tanto en cuarto como en octavo grados, en las distintas asignaturas. También se ha observado que, en castellano y matemática de cuarto y octavo grados, las escuelas de menor tamaño obtienen resultados significativamente más bajos que los establecimientos educativos con un estudiantado más numeroso.

Reflexión, diálogo y comprensión: tres principios integrales de la evaluación educativa
Authors: Muñoz Flores Wilson Gonzalo
Published: February 2020

La educación del siglo XX ha sido un proceso de contradicciones. Ofrece desafíos y oportunidades, donde los símbolos de la libertad son los que han sostenido los tres principios sociales de la educación que deben estar presentes en nuestras aulas contemporáneas y mantener vigencia en la cultura educativa nacional: reflexión, diálogo democrático y comprensión (Santos Guerra, 1998).

Bien sabemos los educadores modernos que estos tres principios sociales atraviesan el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y desarrollo contextualizándolo con todos aquellos elementos propios del sistema educativo: docentes, alumnos, padres, apoderados, contenidos, objetivos, estrategias y evaluación. Esta última es la que valida consciente, reflexiva y dialógicamente el proceso, entendido éste como una significación, una mejora y una apropiación del real sentido del aprender y del reaprender en el aula. Es una comprensión de las posibilidades y los desafíos que el sistema entrega a quienes participan en el desarrollo del curriculum.
Uso y actitudes hacia las TIC en docentes de matemáticas y su relación con el logro académico de sus estudiantes
Authors: Lomprey Gerald , Del Valle López Jair A.
Published: February 2020

Esta investigación buscó conocer la correlación entre el uso y la actitud del docente de matemáticas hacia las TIC y el rendimiento académico de sus estudiantes.

El estudio se llevó a cabo con 203 estudiantes y 10 docentes de todas las escuelas del tercer año de secundaria del municipio de Montemorelos, Nuevo León, México. El diseño metodológico de este estudio es (a) cuantitativo, (b) ex post facto, (c) transversal y (d) correlacional.

Los resultados estadísticos de esta investigación confirmaron la existencia de una correlación (r = .610) positiva media entre la variable independiente uso de las TIC por parte del docente y la variable dependiente logro académico de los estudiantes. Basándose en los resultados de esta investigación, se deduce que los estudiantes pueden tener un mejor logro académico si los docentes hacen un mejor uso de las TIC. Por otro lado, las variables actitud del docente y uso de las TIC por parte del estudiante no incidieron en el logro académico en matemáticas del estudiante.

Comparative Analysis of Power Efficiency and Cooling Capacity Between Central AC and Split AC on Economy Trains
Authors: Puspitasari Mariana Diah
Published: February 2020

PT KAI (Persero) has never stopped transforming itself. His transformation was highly considered when PT KAI (Persero) was under the authority of Jonan Ignasius. Edi Sukmoro then continued the transformation. Some improvements in service quality at each train station require appreciation from various aspects. At present, security is improved, tickets are easier to obtain, and travel is more convenient because trains are provided by AC. However, given the costs involved, installation of air conditioners in all business and economy class cars does not apply central air conditioning but divides air conditioning as applied in the home or office. This research is to find out the most efficient air conditioning in consuming energy in trains, therefore, it is conducted. This study also investigates the most effective air conditioning in cooling. The results showed that the energy efficiency of split air coolers was lower than central air coolers. Regarding cooling capacity, central AC is produced by PT INKA which has a higher cooling capacity than split AC.

Fog computing is one of the most important technologies and promising computing model used by many end-users, organizations, and companies. This model has many qualities, characteristics, advantages and offers many services to end-users like compute, and application services. So, it facilitates the services that provided it to the end-users and allows us to increase the number of devices that connect the network. In this research paper, we survey the Fog technology in terms of the architecture and the primary features (i.e. advantages, and disadvantages). Then, we compare this model with Cloud computing, Mobile-Edge Computing, and Cloudlet Computing. Also, this paper is constructed by illustrating the importance of several challenges and issues that facing Fog computing like "privacy and security: issues and solutions", control and management issues, fog networking and task scheduling. Finally, we mention the six aspects of fog computing security and the benefits of merging between Fog computing and other techniques like “Internet of Things and Cloud”. This paper will contribute to providing the researchers who want to study the Fog computing in terms of aspects that previously mentioned.
YAGORLYK KURGANS OF THE LEFT BANK OF THE DNIESTER: HISTORY OF EXPLORATION, CARTOGRAPHY AND TOPOGRAPHY
Authors: Sаpоzhnykov I. V. , Boltryk Yi. V.
Published: February 2020

The article is devoted to the kurgans which are located on the 45 km long cape, formed by the valleys of the Yagorlyk and Sukhyi Yagorlyk rivers, which merge at the left bank of the Dniester. These burial mounds were mentioned and even painted by J. A. Münz (1781), and then described and put on cards by A. K. Meyer and F. P. de Volan (1791).

Topographers and archaeologists have noted up to 120 mounds reaching a height of 8—9 m in this local region. Most of them are stretched along the top of the watershed, some groups stand with two parallel lines, a number of chains of kurgans are oriented across the watershed. In general, they mark the site of the ancient trade route, along which it was possible to travel from the Dniester to the north to the forest-steppe; to the east to the Dnipro region and to the south-east to the Danube delta and the Black Sea.
PENDULUM MIGRATIONS IN THE CIRCUM-PONTIC STEPPE AND CENTRAL EUROPE DURING THE PALEOMETAL EPOCH AND THE PROBLEM OF GENESIS OF THE YAMNA CULTURE
Authors: Ivanova S. V. , Nikitin A. G. , Kiosak D. V.
Published: February 2020

This article is dedicated to the problem of the origin and spread of the Yamna cultural-historical community (YCHC) in the context of the hypothesis recently expressed by geneticists about the massive migration of population groups genetically related to YCHC and carrying the genetic determinants of the Iranian Neolithic agrarians and hunters and fishers of the North Caucasus from the Ponto- Caspian steppe to central and northern Europe at the beginning of the Bronze Age. Based on an in-depth archeological and genetic analysis, we propose that the genetic «invasion» of the Iranian-Caucasian genetic element into Europe at the beginning of the Bronze Age, recently proposed by paleogenetisits on the basis of a large-scale study of ancient DNA, was not the result of a large-scale migration of representatives of YCHC from the Ponto-Caspian steppes to central and northern Europe, but the result of global population and cultural changes in Eurasia at the end of the Atlantic climatic optimum. We further suggest that before the steppe genetics appeared in Europe at the beginning of the Bronze Age, central European genetic determinants appeared in the steppe in the Eneolithic, and that the movement of the steppe genetic element to Europe was at least in part the second phase of the «pendular» migration of European expatriates, returning to the historical zone of habitation. We also come to the conclusion that the very concept of distinguishing YCHC as a monolithic entity is inappropriate, and that the groups of nomadic tribes of the Ponto-Caspian steppe most likely existed as discrete communities, although united by a common ideology and a genetic relationship that included both the Iranian-Caucasian (throughout the entire range), and European / Anatolian agricultural (locally) genetic elements.
THE ANCIENT DEFENSIVE FORTIFICATIONS OF DANUBE WAFTAGE NEAR KARTAL LAKE
Authors: Dzygovskiy A. N. , Sapozhnikov I. V.
Published: February 2020

The article is dedicated to the characteristics of the defense constructions in the area of river crossing of Danube near lake Kartal not far from village Orlovka of Reny district in Odessa region and their historical interpretation. The conclusion was made, that in this district in the first ages AD. the powerful defensive center functioned, created by Romans. In the center’s system there were Romans fortifications on the sites near the villages Orlovka and Novoselskoye altogether with the ramparts and graffs, which surrounded them, and also one more rampart, which was situated between those two fortificated points. The last one featured the rampart-road and was the important component of this defensive center. Romans started the creation of Kartal defensive center in the 60s years AD. and continued its organization during Vespasian’s regiment term. The center finished its functioning near the middle of the III century AD.

As regards the fortificated area, situated between the left shore of lake Kagul and the right shore of lake Yalpug, according to the written sources’ information about the war events, which had taken place in Southern Budzhak in ancient times and considering the density of population of this part in the time of discussing events, we can suppose, the fortificated area may be built by Scythians in the last third of the IV century BC or by Goths in the last third of the IV century AD.
LOCALIZATION OF THE «PEREYASLAV — VOYIN» PART OF THE DNIEPER TRADE PATH BY THE SETTLEMENTS’ LOCATION
Authors: Pryadko O. О.
Published: February 2020

The article is devoted to the part of the Dnieper trade path’s localization by the location of fortifications at the crossings through the steppe riversin the micro region. It was impossible to prove this version earlier due to the lack of known settlements along the path. As a result of the exploration conducted in 2012—2017 there were discovered previously unknown fortifications in Pishchane, Kropyvna and Irkliiv. Thus it is became possible to precisely position the fords and crossings that covered those settlements. Above mentioned network of fortifications functioned from the middle of the XII to the first half of the XIII century. This is confirmed by the materials found.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL MARKERS OF THE SOUTHERN SECTION OF THE MURAVSKY SHLYAH
Authors: Elnikov M. V.
Published: February 2020

Muravsky Shlyah from the XVI century was one of the known routes of communication in the steppe region of the Left Bank of Ukraine. This important transport strategic highway was used both for military and commercial purposes. Reconstruction of the southern section of the Muravsky Shlyah «in a large semicircle», according to the «Kniga Bolshomu Chertezhu» — the tops of the rivers from Orel to Molochnaya, exclude its passage through water crossings. Analysis of a number of written sources and cartographic material of the XVII — early XX centuries, with the indication of «mosques» — archaeological markers on the «Orekhov route», allowed to draw a conclusion about the route of this steppe way through fords. At the river crossings, on the banks of the rivers Volchy, Кonsky and Ovecy Vody, ambassadorial missions, military and travelers fix the remains of «mosques» — hillforts period of the Golden Horde. In this region the trade routes crossed, including the Great Silk Road in the XIV century, which were of great strategic importance for a long time, — before the advent of the railway. Localization of the monuments of the Golden Horde period on this communication allows you to raise the question of its occurrence at an earlier time.
ECONOMY OF THE SCYTHIAN TIME POPULATION IN THE SEYM RIVER BASIN ON THE RESULTS OF GEOINFORMATIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE NATURAL CONDITIONS AND SITES
Authors: Bilynskyi O. O. , Jachimowicz K.
Published: February 2020

In the first part of the article the natural conditions in which scythian time sites are spread in Seym river basin and the geological structure of the Seym basin are described. Reconstruction of the climatic conditions of the Scythian time in the region, based on modern indicators, is attempted. In the second part of the paper the sequence in which the database of monuments was gathered, and methods used in its analysis are described. All the sites are divided into 6 categories according to their type and cultural affiliation. Around each a buffer of 5 km radius is created, adjacent sites, which included in one category were divided by Thiessen polygons. An analysis of topography inside the buffer is made as well. The data were presented in form of graphs which indicated the number of cells recorded for each height. According to the predominance of a particular type of topography, the sites were divided into three types which are further compared among themselves. Based on the obtained data the conclusions about the type of economy at the sites and about the extencion of the sites which were more suitable to a certain type of economy have been made.

Published: February 2020

Among numerous shapes of Ancient Greek glass drinking vessels from the Northern Black Sea Coast, the group of bowls-phials with engraved and polished ornamentation (2nd—3rd centuries AD) could be distinguished. The fragments of mentioned vessels, which were found on the territory of Roman garrison in Olbia and stored in the Scientific Repository of the Institute of Archaeology NASU, are examined in this research. In addition, the technological process of their manufacturing is closely analysed. Wide distribution and active application of phials concurred with intensification of trading communications and economic advancement of the period from the second half of the 2nd century AD to the first half of the 3rd century AD and the Roman garrison’s residence in Olbia.
MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS FROM THE SCYTHIAN KURGANS OF KHERSON REGION (a New Look at Famous Artefacts)
Authors: Fialko O. Ye. , Homchyk M. A. , But Yu. P.
Published: February 2020

In 1973, the Kherson Expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of Ukraine under the leadership of A. I. Terenozhkin discovered a group of kurgans near the village of Lvove in the Kherson region. Five Scythian graves were investigated in the mound 11. Two of them belonged to the Amazons and have not been robbed.

Some of the items from these kurgans are stored in the National Museum of Ukrainian History. After the restoration, they in fact have got a second life and a new attribution. The most interesting are things from burial 2: a pair of iron spring forceps, an iron knife with a bone faceted handle, and a bronze bowl. According to the Doctor of Veterinary O. P. Melnyk, these items are close to modern medical instruments. The bronze bowl with thin sides, a flat bottom and a corolla with a rigid ledge could serve for fast heating of water and sterilization of tools. Iron forceps could be used to take tools out of boiling water. The shape of the knife blade and its technological features are similar to modern hoof knives designed to care for the hooves of animals. A similar bowl was found in burial No. 4, while another bowl and a bronze knife were in the main burial 7 of the same kurgan.

Moreover, the collection of the Museum contains a series of iron knives from kurgans near Pervomaivka village in Kherson region. Their design features, according to Professor O. P. Melnyk, allow us to see in them medical instruments. One of them by the shape of its blade resembles a modern scalpel.

Judging by pieces of art, healing and zootechnics have reached a high level among the Scythians. Significant examples in this respect are the metal bowl from the kurgan Kul-Oba and the amphora from the kurgan Chortomlyk. The scene of the castration of a horse is depicted on an amphora. As reported by Strabo, the Scythians had a common practice to castrate horses, and the Amazons have been taking care of their horses on their own. Consequently, it is quite possibly that the Amazons carried out certain veterinary operations. In addition to castration, an equally important operation in horse breeding is the cleansing of hooves.

The considered artefacts served as tools that could be used both in medicine, and in veterinary medicine. Thereby we can make a conclusion that the Scythian Amazons did not concede to men in medical practice as well.

A buried man was placed with his head to the west, with the dagger near his left hand. This dagger has bright decoration. There were bone plates on the hilt, fixed by three iron rivets with wide heads. Known analogies belong to the horizon of the 5th—4th centuries BC and are associated with impacts from the cultures of the Northern Balkans. Some arrowheads, remained after the robbery, give as possibility to establish the date of this complex more particularly by the middle 4th centuryBC.
OLBIAN TERRACOTTA BUSTS WITH HANDMADE CUPS AND ADORNMENTS
Authors: Shevchenko T. M.
Published: February 2020

Analysed is a series of bust thymiateria with handmade details: stephanes, earrings, and buttons fastening chiton on shoulders. Handmade cups on their heads were not the headdress, but the functional details, and were probably used in some rituals as containers for incenses. A detailed analysis shows that several of them were produced in a single mould, two items produced not in Olbia, and on some of them tainia on the personage’s head were shown already in a mould. It is traced that the busts are close to Olbian semi-figures of bigger size with more elaborate, though also handmade, adorations. Stylistically, this group can be dated by the first half of the 3rd century BC. Almost all of them come from the excavations at dwelling quarters and were probably used in family cults. They were often found with other terracottas’ fragments, namely, with images of the Mother of the Gods and Dionysus.

These busts belong to one of several groups of Hellenistic thymiateria. They are the least definite for attribution. Personages of other groups present the reliable features of their relation to the cults of the Mother of the Gods, Aphrodite, and Dionysus. Similar thymiateria from other Ancient Greek centres represent images of the same circle of the gods. Here, an attention to decorations and the clothes can only indirectly indicate for an image of Aphrodite or a participant of her cult, while spherical adornments attached most often to the temples, together with tainia on the heads of several items, can be hypothetically a part of a wreath made of ivy fruits, as on the heads of Dionysiac characters. Consequently, there are no reliable grounds yet for a definite attribution of these thymiateria’s images. There are also no grounds to see Demeter or Kore-Persephone in them. The study of other groups of Olbian busts-thymiateria is perspective for the further attribution.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND ARCHAEOMAGNETIC DATING OF THE VOLYNTSEVE CULTURE COMPLEXES FROM KHODOSIVKA SETTLEMENT
Authors: Komar O. V.
Published: February 2020

In 1972, two ovens from dwellings of the Volyntseve culture were studied with archaeomagnetic method by G. F. Zagnii. Proposed archaeomagnetic dating for the oven from Khodosivka dwelling 2 («6th century AD») was different from the archaeological date for two centuries, thence both archaeomagnetic dates seemed unreliable and they were never used in archaeological research as a chronological marker for the Volyntseve culture.

The task of this study was to determine whether it is possible to verify old archaeomagnetic data with the help of modern analysis tools and to compare it with recent archaeological datings of the same complexes.

Finds from Hodosivka dwellings 1 and 2 include iron buckle, belt ornament, earring, glass beads of the Saltiv cultural circle and wheel-made pottery of the Saltiv technology, that allows using detailed chronological scale of the Saltiv culture and limiting the chronological framework for dwellings 1 to 790—835 AD and for the stratigraphically earlier dwellings 2 to 740—790 AD.

Analysis of archaeomagnetic data was made with Matlab tool for archaeomagnetic dating software and three global models: ARCH3K.1, SHA.DIF.14K and CALS3K.3. Two versions of the archaeomagnetic data were examined. First version of data (1977) presented only declination and inclination values, calculated with larger number of measured samples accepted; later version (1986) reflects data with fewer samples accepted after the procedure for excluding extreme values and also field intensity values. Comparison showed that the later version of the data is much better consistent with archaeological dates and must be used as basic.

The results of 95 % probability archaeomagnetic dating of the dwelling № 1 in all three used models ARCH3K.1, SHA.DIF.14K and CALS3K.3 are in good agreement with archaeological date: respectively 752—845; 758—855; 678—858 AD. Agreement is less precise in archaeomagnetic dating of the dwelling № 2: respectively 677—784; 702—802; 622—745, 770—814 AD, where only the second part of the time range corresponds to the archaeological dating. However, both new results are acceptable, which means the presence of a chronological error in the local archaeomagnetic curve of G. F. Zagnii and O. M. Rusakov, created for the territory of Ukraine and Moldova. This conclusion means that all Early Mediaeval chronological schemes in archaeology based on this archaeomagnetic curve needs verification of archaeomagnetic data using modern databases and global models.

Authors: Gun M. O.
Published: February 2020

The specificity of the vessels reveals various information, first of all about the life of the ancient population. Therefore the study of the ceramic assemblage of the Kiev neighborhoods allows not only to draw parallels between the peculiarities of the living model of the villagers and the inhabitants of the capital, but also to understand more deeply the social processes that took place during the times of the Kievan state.

The pottery collection from the settlement of Sofiivska Borshchahivka represents a wide assortment of wares from the 11th—13th centuries, which were used as a tare, for cooking, and for dining. The ceramics for storage of supplies are represented a few fragments, which are probably due to various reasons: living conditions, use of alternative containers, etc. Kitchen pots show not only the versatility of such vessels but also the changes in its typological and morphological characteristics for a long time.

Inviting of ethnographic materials made it possible to reconstruct the specific of using of certain vessels in everyday life, as well as to clarify the function of their individual morphological elements.

The study of the ceramic collections allowed to understand the organization of pottery crafts, certain features of spiritual culture, traditions and innovations of the society, and at least investigated some aspects of everyday life of the Kiev neighborhoods population of the 11th—13th centuries.

'Entre todas as cidades, a cidade' de Mário Cláudio
Authors: Costa Mariana Caser da
Published: February 2020

A cidade do Porto figura como eixo temático das obras de Mário Cláudio, fazendo-se presente, sobretudo,naquelas que percorrem o que aqui denominamos de percurso autobiográfico do escritor. Nesse sentido,a paisagem urbana funde-se à história da vida dos ancestrais e do próprio artista, não somente comopano de fundo, mas, principalmente, exercendo um papel de protagonismo nos romances constitutivosdo referido trajeto, a saber: A Quinta das Virtudes, O Pórtico da Glória, Tocata para dois clarins, MeuPorto e Astronomia. Neste artigo, analisaremos a presença da paisagem urbana em algumas obras deMário Cláudio, de modo a demonstrar que o texto literário oferece impressões e imagens citadinas quevão ao encontro de uma estética que não raro dialoga com outras artes. Para isso, destacaremos excertosde romances marioclaudianos, analisando-os sob a ótica de teóricos e críticos como Walter Benjamin,Giulio Argan, Jeanne Marie Gagnebin, Maria Theresa Abelha, entre outros.
