Authors: Ivanova Irina , Arif Shahswar , Dinev Dinko , Kalchev Kalin , Atanassova Maria , Kotzev Iskren
Published: July 2018

Desmoid tumours are unique mesenchymal neoplasm. They are able to spread to proximal tissues but tend not to metastasize. Our case presents a 66-year-old female referred for evaluation of the prominent, palpable mass located into the left abdomen. Imaging studies revealed a tumour up to 22 cm, extending below the diaphragm to the retroperitoneal and intra-abdominal cavity. Contrast enhanced ultrasound showed strong inhomogeneous arterial hyper-enhancement followed by persistent enhancement in a venous phase. Histology obtained with tru-cut needle biopsy established desmoid tumour, with overall proliferating activity (Ki-67 expression) of 20%. The lesion had been identified as sporadic and ‘unresectable’. During the patient’s follow-up a slow but continuous elevation of serum creatinine was registered eventually led to anuria, requiring emergent haemodialysis. The non-obstructing nephropathy is an unusual complication of the disease course, therefore we briefly reviewed the published data on abdominal desmoid tumours and critically analysed the relation with kidney injury.

Published: July 2018

Pancreaticopleural fistula is an extremely rare complication of chronic pancreatitis. Interestingly it may present without any symptoms of pancreatitis per se. The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion due to the predominant thoracic symptoms. Cases with massive, rapidly refilling, refractory pleural effusion in the setting of pancreatitis (symptomatic or asymptomatic) should be suspected of having a pancreaticopleural fistula. We report two cases of pancreaticopleural fistula. One of the patient also had pancreatic divisum and to the best of our knowledge this is the first case report of pancreatic divisum with pancreaticopleural fistula in the literature.
Relationship between BMI, overweight preoccupation, dysfunctional attitude and social avoidance
Authors: Soni Ekta , Behmani Rakesh Kumar
Published: July 2018

Adolescents generally have egocentrism. They always believe that they are the centre of attraction everywhere. This leads to their worries regarding their body weight and shape. This paper explores different correlates of body image in adolescents. The data was collected from a total of 397 adolescents. On the basis of BMI, this sample was then divided into three groups: underweight, normal weight and overweight. Tools used to study these variables included Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale and Social Avoidance Scale. After collecting data one way ANOVA and correlation was computed. Results revealed that there were significant differences between the groups on social avoidance and dysfunctional attitudes. Underweight people are more socially avoidant in comparison to overweight and normal weight people. Underweight people also had low scores on Dysfunctional attitude (social approval, avoidance and dependency) in comparison to normal weight people. Overweight preoccupation is positively correlated to social avoidance and negatively related to dysfunctional attitudes social approval. BMI is negatively related to social avoidance and positively related with Dysfunctional attitude (dependency, avoidance, social approval). Social avoidance is negatively related with dysfunctional attitudes.
Gout, hyperuricemia and cardio-vascular risk
Authors: Morbidoni Laura , Olivari Diletta
Published: July 2018

Concern about gout-related increase in risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases has been raising in recent years. A similar relationship has been postulated even for asymptomatic hyperuricemia. The aims of this review are to appraise the available evidence about: 1. the relationship between hyperuricemia itself and/or gout and cardiovascular diseases; 2. the effect of decreasing serum acid uric level on the rate of cardiovascular events. To meet this purpose, we did an extensive analysis of literature, limiting the search to articles in English, indexed in Medline and published in the last 17 years. Most of the retrieved studies were conducted on surrogate outcomes, whereas randomized trials on clinically relevant outcomes are few and of questionable quality. Based on the available data, we may conclude that hyperuricemia itself is a probable, although weak, risk factor for hypertension and increases the risk of nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Moreover, symptomatic gout significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular events, particularly of myocardial infarction and mainly in young-adult and people without other risk factors. Regarding the effectiveness of urate-lowering drugs in the prevention of myocardial infarction, the strongest evidence supports their use in subjects affected by gout. A probable efficacy in controlling hypertension, especially in young subjects and women, as well as in preventing nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients has also been reported. Interestingly, allopurinol administered at doses ≤300 mg/day seems to protect from myocardial infarction, hypertension, total and serious cardiovascular events; preliminary evidences suggest a protective effect of febuxostat on major adverse cardiovascular events in high-risk gouty patients.
Effectiveness of non-invasive ventilation in acute respiratory failure of obese patients: a brief narrative review
Authors: Cavalleri Maurizio Alessandro , Barbagelata Elena , Scudeletti Marco , Nicolini Antonello
Published: July 2018

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been used successfully for the management of acute respiratory failure (ARF) more often in the last two decades compared to prior decades; nevertheless, NIV can have failure rates ranging from 5% to 50%. However, there are particular groups of patients that are more likely to benefit from NIV. One of these groups is patients with hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). The aim of this review is to seek evaluation of the effectiveness of NIV in acute setting. Only a few studies have investigated NIV success or failure in OHS patients. More than 30% of them were diagnosed when hospitalized for ARF. NIV rarely failed in reversing ARF. OHS patients who exhibited early NIV failure had a high severity score and a low HCO3 level at admission; more than half of hypercapnic patients with decompensated OHS exhibited a delayed but successful response to NIV. Patients with decompensation of OHS have a better prognosis and response to NIV than other hypercapnic patients. They require more aggressive NIV settings, a longer time to reduce PaCO2 levels, and more frequently a delayed but successful response to NIV.
Mean platelet volume as diagnostic and therapeutic marker of risk and prognosis of heart disease
Authors: Okoroiwu Henshaw Uchechi , Ogar Christopher Ogar
Published: July 2018

Increased mean platelet volume (MPV) is associated with platelet reactivity and is a predictor of cardiovascular risk and unprovoked nervous thromboembolism. Mean platelet volume is a precise measure of platelet size. Studies have reported the use of MPV as a biomarker for predicting ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation patients as well as in anticoagulant prescription and rhythm-control therapy. Moreover, MPV may predict cardiovascular event outcome following percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with coronary artery disease. MPV may predict residual platelet reactivity in dual antiplatelet therapy. Factors influencing MPV result were discussed. This review centered on the reports that MPV may be a biomarker of risk and prognosis of prevalent heart diseases.
Effectiveness of the computerization of a YALE insulin infusion modified protocol in reducing the nursing workload in an Internal Medicine Department
Authors: Beltramello Giampietro , Sgarlata Carmelo , Rollone Marco , Magnani Luigi
Published: July 2018

Hyperglycemia is a negative prognostic factor in both critical and non-critical patients. Many critically ill patients admitted to internal medicine wards present hyperglycemia and may benefit from an IV insulin therapy. The Yale Insulin Infusion Protocol (YIIP) is effective and safe in achieving the desired glucose range. However, to be used properly and safely, it requires a considerable availability of nursing resources. This probably represents the main limiting factor in using these protocols outside intensive care units. This study was performed to assess the effectiveness of a computer application which reduces the nursing workload related to managing a nurse implemented modified YIIP in our internal medicine department. Our experience showed that computerizing the YIIP algorithm is safe and effective. It leads on average to a net 30-min nursing time saving per day per patient.

Published: July 2018

We describe a case of a 79-year-old man with pacemaker who presented to the Emergency Department due to asthenia and acute confusional state. He had a history of atrial fibrillation, anemia and colostomy and he was on treatment with diuretics. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed pacemaker-induced ventricular activity, QRS complexes excessively wide with sine-wave appearance, tall and peaked T waves, without electrically evident atrial activity. Potassium concentration on arterial blood gas analysis was 8.8 mmol/L. ECG abnormalities disappeared after therapy with calcium chloride and spontaneous cardiac activity reappeared.
Mechanical distribution of beneficial arthropods in greenhouse and open field: A review
Authors: Papa Rita , Manetto Giuseppe , Cerruto Emanuele , Failla Sabina
Published: July 2018

In the last decades, political policies and collective consciousness focused on the importance of sustainable food and environmentally friendly approaches in agriculture. Distribution of beneficial organisms is a very important factor in integrated pest management, and mechanical release could improve application uniformity as well as reduce costs and working time. Several mechanisation experiences have been carried out through the years, however none of them has still found a massive application in common agricultural practices. This review paper analyses all the efforts made in this direction, by evaluating main strengths and weakness points of manually brought, tractor mounted, or aerial mechanical devices. In this way development opportunities can be identified, in a field that could achieve a substantial role in food production and agricultural activities while respecting the environment and human health.

Published: July 2018

In this study, the efficacy of Formulated Neem Seed Oil (FNSO) on the population of blister beetle, Mylabris pustulata Thunberg (Coleoptera: Meloidae) was evaluated. The data were recorded from beginning of May 2009 and 2010 planting seasons. The experiment was laid out in 3×5 factorial comprising three rates of neem seed oil, 4.2 L ha–1, 8.3 L ha–1,12.5 L ha–1 with Control (0 L ha–1), and synthetic pyrethroid, cypermethrin (1.5L ha–1) as checks plots. There were also three intervals of application: once a week, once in two weeks, and once in three weeks. Results showed that application of F-NSO at higher dosage of 12.5L ha–1 and at four regime spraying intervals of once a week significantly (P<0.05) reduced the population of blister beetles on flowers of short duration pigeonpea cultivar (ICPL 84023). This effective application dose of 12.5L ha–1 at four regime spraying intervals of once a week can be an ideal Integrated Pest Management tool for the management of M. pustulata in Rainforest Zone of Southeastern, Nigeria.
The link between the genetic polymorphisms of the innate immune signaling molecular factors with periodontitis
Authors: Kaarthikeyan Gurumoorthy , Balakrishnan Anandan , Jayakumar Nadathur Doraisamy
Published: July 2018

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease causing destruction of supporting tissues of teeth. Even though the gramnegative anaerobes are essential for the initiation of periodontal destruction, multiple risk factors are essential for the progression of the disease. The genetic risk factor plays a significant role in the etiopathogenesis of periodontal disease. The innate immune mechanism is the first line of defense in screening and combating the invading periodontal pathogens. The genetic polymorphisms in the 3’UTR region of the innate immune signaling molecular factors like toll-like receptors, nod-like receptors and the polymorphisms in the epigenetic regulators of these factors like microRNA146a, apolipoproteinE might play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of periodontal destruction.
A consideration for the utility of the post-operative Oswestry Disability Index for measuring outcomes after sacroiliac joint fusion
Authors: Mao Gordon , Aldahak Nouman , Kusyk Dorian , Yeager Matthew , Cook Daniel , Cameron Jeffrey , Cheng Boyle , Oh Michael
Published: July 2018

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction and its surgical treatment remain a controversial topic in spine surgery. Determining success after SIJ fusion may be difficult due to preexisting back pain, lumbar fusion (LF), and functional disability. We examine the utility of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) as a measure of clinical outcomes after minimally invasive SIJ fusion. A retrospective review of 24 patients with at least 12- months follow-up. Patients were divided into two groups based on presence of previous LF. Their post-operative ODI was compared with overall satisfaction, pain reduction, and return to work status. No difference in demographics was found in patients with and without prior LF with 92% of patients reporting lower post-operative pain and 96% being satisfied. Presence of LF did not show any statistically significant differences in pain or satisfaction. However, patient with prior LF reported lower ODI than those without LF at 1-year post-operatively (P=0.015). Postoperative ODI may give a falsely pessimistic impression of outcomes in SIJ fusion patients with prior LF, and its use and limitations should be carefully considered in future studies.

We propose a fast-track strategy [direct blood DNA analysis using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique] for the early risk detection and prenatal diagnosis of α(0)-thalassemia (SEA and Thai deletion). Blood DNA samples were obtained from a volunteer group of 1235 ANC couples. They were assessed using quantitative real-time PCR to detect carriers of α(0)-thalassemia (SEA and Thai deletion). At-risk couples were identified, and further prenatal diagnosis by amniocentesis was implemented. Fetal DNA was isolated from the amniotic cells and characterized by quantitative real-time PCR to detect the α(0)-thalassemia mutation, which was reconfirmed using the droplet digital PCR method. Fifteen at-risk couples were identified. The timing of prenatal diagnosis was appropriate for all couples and four of the fetuses were diagnosed with Bart’s hydrops fetalis. The results were compatible with those calculated using the Hardy-Weinberg equation for a recessively inherited single gene disorder. The conclusion was that the fast-track strategy could shorten screening policy timelines, promoting early risk detection for couples and early prenatal diagnosis. The fast-track strategy might be beneficial for the prevention of hemoglobin Bart’s hydrops fetalis syndrome.

Diagnosis of Haemoglobinopathies: New Scientific Advances
Authors: Harteveld Cornelis L.
Published: July 2018

The molecular defects underlying haemoglobinopathies are both deletions and point mutations in the alpha- or beta-globin genes or gene-clusters. To detect point mutations causing alpha- or beta-thalassaemia, direct sequencing is the method of choice to detect the widest spectrum of molecular defects. The most established approach in DNA diagnostics to screen for the most common deletion defects causing alpha-thalassaemia or beta-thalassaemia is gap- PCR, Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) and Sanger Sequencing technology to detect breakpoint sequences of previously uncharacterized deletions/duplications. We demonstrate the recent advances in the determination of duplications and deletions causing alpha- or beta-thalassemia, using Next Generation Sequencing, array Comparative Genome Hybridization and Target Locus Amplification. We present three cases in which the use of advanced technologies allow the diagnosis of unexpected disease genotypes.

Authors: Amoruso Giuseppe
Published: July 2018

La investigación describe los principios proyectivos del espacio ilusorio de la escuela boloñesa a través del dibujo de las perspectivas arquitectónicas de Girolamo Curti (1575-1632) y Angelo Michele Colonna (1604-1687) en el Ayuntamiento de Bolonia. En 1627 Bernardino Spada, fue designado por el Papa Urbano VIII para conducir la delegación boloñesa y comenzó la renovación de los apartamentos a través del artificio ilusorio de la perspectiva. Además de la sala Urbana y la sala Dentone, Colonna, un joven ayudante de Curti, también se convertirá en el protagonista de una larga estancia artística; siendo también activo en España, donde por iniciativa de Diego Velázquez, trabajó en la corte de Felipe IV. A su regreso de Madrid dejó su última obra de pintura en la sala del Consejo.

Los métodos de la perspectiva “di sotto in sù” hicieron una representación rigurosa del espacio ilusorio, cuyos caracteres están presentes en esta investigación.

The role of sex differences in detecting deception in computer-mediated communication in English
Authors: Kuzio Anna
Published: July 2018

While  deception  seems  to  be  a  common  approach  in  interpersonal  communication,  most examination on interpersonal deception sees the sex of the interlocutor as unconnected with the capability to notice deceptive messages. This research studies the truth and deception detection capability  of  both  male  and  female  receivers  when  replying  to  both  true  and  deceptive messages  from  both  male  and  female  speakers.  The  outcomes  indicate  that  sex  may  be  a significant variable in comprehending the interpersonal detection probabilities of truth and of lies. An interaction of variables including the speakers’ sex, receivers’ sex, and whether the message appears to be truthful or deceptive is created to relate to detection capability.
Detecting Discourse-Independent Negated Forms of Public Textual Cyberbullying
Authors: Power Aurelia , Keane Anthony , Nolan Brian , O'Neill Brian
Published: July 2018

Cyberbullying is a risk associated with the online safety of young people and, in this paper, we address one of its most common implicit forms – negation-based forms. We first describe the role  of  negation  in  public  textual  cyberbullying  interaction  and  identify  the  cyberbullying constructions that characterise these forms. We then formulate the overall detection mechanism which captures the three necessary and sufficient elements of public textual cyberbullying – the personal marker, the dysphemistic element, and the link between them. Finally, we design rules to detect both overt and covert negation-based forms, and measure their effectiveness using a development dataset, as well as a novel test dataset, across several metrics: accuracy, precision, recall, and the F1-measure. The results indicate that the rules we designed closely resemble the performance of human annotators across all measures.
A method for using unmanned aerial vehicles for emergency investigation of single geo-hazards and sample applications of this method
Authors: Huang Haifeng , Long Jingjing , Yi Wu , Yi Qinglin , Zhang Guodong , Lei Bangjun
Published: July 2018

Abstract. In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become widely used in emergency investigations of major natural hazards over large areas; however, UAVs are less commonly employed to investigate single geo-hazards. Based on a number of successful investigations in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, China, a complete UAV-based method for performing emergency investigations of single geo-hazards is described. First, a customized UAV system that consists of a multi-rotor UAV subsystem, an aerial photography subsystem, a ground control subsystem and a ground surveillance subsystem is described in detail. The implementation process, which includes four steps, i.e., indoor preparation, site investigation, on-site fast processing and application, and indoor comprehensive processing and application, is then elaborated, and two investigation schemes, automatic and manual, that are used in the site investigation step are put forward. Moreover, some key techniques and methods – e.g., the layout and measurement of ground control points (GCPs), route planning, flight control and image collection, and the Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry processing – are explained. Finally, three applications are given. Experience has shown that using UAVs for emergency investigation of single geo-hazards greatly reduces the time, intensity and risks associated with on-site work and provides valuable, high-accuracy, high-resolution information that supports emergency responses.

Published: July 2018

Compreendera sorodiscordância e a vulnerabilidade individual ao HIV nas relações de ser-com-o-outro sorodiscordante. Estudo qualitativo, ancorado na Fenomenologia Hermenêutica de Martin Heidegger. Participaram do estudo oito pacientes soropositivos e suas parcerias sorodiscordantes, totalizando 16 participantes. A entrevista foi o instrumento utilizado para obtenção das narrativas vividas pelos casais. Os conceitos fenomenológicos de “ser-com” e “ser-no-mundo”, descritos por Heidegger, permitiu que os sentidos e significados relacionados ao fenômeno da sorodiscordância fossem evidenciados de forma detalhada. As construções sociais de masculinidade, a reduzida capacidade do casal em negociar prática de sexo seguro, o uso da terapia antiretroviral como fator de proteção ao HIV acrescidos das influências culturais foram evidenciados como as principais situações de vulnerabilidade individual da existência sorodiscordante. A compreensão do significado existencial de ser-casal-sorodiscordante, segundo a estrutura ontológica “ser-um-com-o-outro” instiga mudanças da práxis do enfermeiro, oportunizando um atendimento diferenciado e integral ao casal sorodiscordante.

Published: July 2018

Quando nos debruçamos sobre o tema Educação Sustentável no Ensino de Administração, precisamos ampliar a análise e colocar em perspectiva alguns temas banidos da academia e assumir o papel de lembrar aquilo que nossos concidadãos querem esquecer, recusando o silêncio e exercitando a crítica e a denúncia. Esses temas envolvem a economia política internacional e a posição de dependência do Brasil neste contexto, bem como a organização da produção e seus efeitos na sociedade. Verifica-se, hoje, uma padronização dos currículos dos cursos de Administração e as poucas modificações ocorrem são por influência de uma visão de mundo centrada nas organizações. Este ensaio busca provocar reflexões e iluminar possibilidades para alterações nos currículos dos cursos de Administração, argumentando que não é útil nem para os estudantes nem para as organizações apenas ensinar os conteúdos dos currículos atuais, mas encontrar meios de atuar taticamente, evitando as barreiras para uma Educação Sustentável.

Published: July 2018

Nas cidades, há a geração de uma grande quantidade de resíduos, cuja destinação inadequada pode ocasionar diversos problemas. No Brasil o desafio se mostra grande: nos últimos anos observou-se um aumento na geração de resíduos e a rede de coleta e reciclagem ainda não atinge todas as cidades. Apesar de aprovada a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, o País ainda precisa avançar na questão do seu manejo correto. Este é um desafio não só do poder público, mas também da indústria brasileira. As organizações podem se articular em redes, aproveitando as competências de cada um dos participantes. O presente trabalho apresenta dois estudos de caso de empresas no Brasil que se articularam em redes para o manejo e aproveitamento sustentável de resíduos sólidos. Elaborou-se uma pesquisa exploratória qualitativa. Como resultado, apresentaram-se práticas e arranjos em rede que corroboram afirmações dos benefícios de se trabalhar articuladamente desta forma.

INTRODUCTION: In Latin America the nutritional deficit is the most common problem affecting children under 5 years old, which is not an strange issue to Cartagena’ s population, this type of phenomenon is due to lack of nutritional education or food security that leads to appearance of infectious diseases such as pneumonia becoming a public health problem.OBJECTIVE: To correlate the clinical features of children with malnutrition, pneumonia and malnutrition, and pneumonia from Cartagena de Indias. 2010 to 2012.METHODOLOGY: Retrospective cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study. 220 medical records from three groups were analyzed, including 98 children with malnutrition, 100 children with pneumonia and 22 children with malnutrition and pneumonia simultaneously medically attended during 2012-2014. Logistic regression was performed applying Pearson and Durbin Watson calculations with the software SPSS 20.0 ®.RESULTS: Male children have a higher prevalence of malnutrition and pneumonia simultaneously and separately by 63%. The age with more pneumonia and malnutrition cases is in children under 2 years old from stratum I, likewise weight and respiratory problems correlate as common clinical features.CONCLUSION: It is corroborated the existence of possible signs and symptoms common to pneumonia and malnutrition, in addition the design of dynamic programs that keep into account the environmental conditions.
Diálogos en movimiento: Reflexiones teórico- metodológicas de la danza como recurso de investigación interdisciplinar.
Authors: Campo Aráuz Lorena , Palys Ana María , Passo Patricia , Tamayo Silvia
Published: July 2018

Se advierte que en la sociedad occidental contemporánea, en general, predomina una forma de enseñanza totalizante, homogeneizante, que sobreestima los procesos mentales y que nos ha ido distanciando de nuestros cuerpos. Existe la necesidad de integrar a la cotidianidad de nuestra existencia el cuerpo en movimiento, que se visibiliza con mayor énfasis en la danza y el ejecutante. Con esta perspectiva, en enero 2017 la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (UPS) de Ecuador promovió el encuentro Metodologías Alternativas de la Danza, siendo pionera en abrir un espacio de reflexión e intercambio de saberes entre bailarines, académicos y la comunidad interesada en conocer los procesos de la danza. Estas actividades forman parte de la propuesta de la danza como recurso de investigación desarrollada por Lorena Campo Aráuz. El objetivo es el promover el diálogo entre las distintas investigaciones trabajadas por bailarines que están vinculados a instituciones académicas de Ecuador y el mundo. Se busca superar la visión limitada de objetivación del arte en general, la corporalidad, la danza y el movimiento como elementos de descripción folclórica y meramente recreativa, evidenciando su potencialidad creativa, terapéutica y generadora de conocimiento.

Las relaciones comunicativas entre las instituciones políticas y aquellos a quienes gobiernan son fundamentalmente en las democracias mediáticas que están sometidas al continuo escrutinio de los ciudadanos que cada cuatro años renuevan su confianza en ellas. Entre las estrategias comunicativas más utilizadas se encuentra la publicidad institucional a través de la cual las diferentes instituciones pretenden crear una imagen positiva de ellas mismas y de sus acciones de cada a persuadir a los ciudadanos. POner de manifiesto las diferentes estrategias persuasivas de las instituciones pueden dar una idea de cómo éstas plantean las relaciones con sus gobernados.

No es suficiente con mostrar los resultados de la comunicación publicitaria -el espot televisivo- sino que se hace indispensable trasladar a la opinión pública otras informaciones de carácter subjetivo o económico. En ese sentido parece interesante analizar las Notas de Prensa que envían las Administraciones Públicas a los medios de comunicación en la presentación de dichas campañas, con el objetivo de buscar en ellas las razones iniciales que les han inducido a llevarlas a cabo, los objetivos persuasivos y el beneficio esperado de dicha acción.

Published: July 2018

In 2012 and 2013, the Polish–Egyptian Conservation Mission to Marina el-Alamein
focused on research and conservation in the public part of the ancient town, the dwelling houses
and the necropolis. A site presentation program was continued in the area south of a public square,
where remains of Roman public baths, in use from the 2nd to the 4th century, have survived.
Current maintenance and conservation was carried out on the site of dwelling houses and, in 2013,
on the aboveground mausoleum of tomb T21 in the necropolis. Conservation of mural paintings
was undertaken also during the seasons.

In the 2012 and 2013 seasons, the conservation program of the Polish–Egyptian
Conservation Mission to Marina el-Alamein included conservation activities in selected rooms
of the complex of Roman (southern) baths in the central part of the town and, in 2013,
elements of the monumental tomb T21, as part of the general program for the preservation of
its remains. In 2013, conservation of selected items, wall paintings in particular, from the stores
was undertaken.
Tell el-Farkha. Excavations, 2012–2013
Authors: Chłodnicki Marek , Ciałowicz Krzysztof M.
Published: July 2018

Excavations at Tell el-Farkha in 2012 and 2013 were conducted on all three koms
making up the site. The upper layers excavated on the Western Kom during the first campaign
were connected with the beginning of phase 4 at Tell el-Farkha and the lower layers with phase 3.
A few poorly preserved rooms were unearthed, mainly in the southern part of the trench. Also
part of a brewery dated to Naqada IIIA1 was explored. A rectangular building with thick walls
discovered on the Central Kom was most probably the remains of a big Naqadian store. Results
of geophysical research from 2000 were verified; excavations uncovered a round edifice, 7 m in
diameter, surrounded by a wall almost 2 m thick. In a test trench on the Eastern Kom, a rectangular
room (2.50 m by 6 m) with two regular entrances from north and south was unearthed. In the main
trench, work concentrated on the area north and south of the monumental mastaba uncovered
a few seasons earlier.

Excavations of the site of Tell el-Murra in the northeastern part of the Nile Delta in 2012 and 2013, following up on surveys in 2008 and in 2010–2011, uncovered settlement structures from the Old Kingdom in the northeastern part of the site (trench T5). Excavations in the adjacent cemetery (trench S3) cleared more graves, which were dated to the Early Dynastic period based on pottery and stone vessel evidence.
Selib 1. preliminary report for the 2012 and 2013 seasons
Authors: Cedro Aneta
Published: July 2018

Part of a lower building was uncovered during the third and fourth seasons of excavation
at the site of a church in Selib 1. Finds from the fill between floors confirmed the early dating of
the oldest church (6th/7th century). Two buildings were examined in the vicinity of the inner
peribolos: BN.13, which proved to be a domestic dwelling from a later phase (11th–12th century),
and BS.13, identified as a structure of religious function built before the 9th–10th century.
Preliminary report on the 2012 and 2013 excavation seasons at Jiyeh (Porphyreon): work in sector D (residential Quarter)

Published: July 2018

Archeological work in the 2012 and 2013 seasons in Jiyeh (Porphyreon), which lies on the Phoenician coast north of ancient Sidon, was focused on reconstructing the history of settlement on the site. At least three phases were identified and dated to the Iron Age II, the Persian– Hellenistic–Roman period and late antiquity. The early dating of the functioning of the Christian basilica to the 4th–5th century AD was also confirmed in trial pits. The complex and unusual sewage installation discharging rainwater from the roofs and streets of the 5th-century settlement contributed important data for studies of late antique domestic architecture in the region.
Results of a survey conducted in the area of the Jiyeh Marina Resort
hotel complex in the 2012 season
Authors: Kowarska Zofia , Lenarczyk Szymon
Published: July 2018

In 2012, an initial reconnaissance was conducted of the area north of the Jiyeh
(Porphyreon) site. This coastal region is heavily urbanized and progressing building investment is
causing the destruction of archaeological remains, which until quite recently were relatively well
preserved in places. Subsequent investments involved the expansion of the Jiyeh Marina Resort
hotel complex into terrain lying to the north of the Polish excavation area. Earlier construction
work connected to the hotel complex was carried out in an area originally occupied by a pottery
workshop from the late Hellenistic and early Roman periods, as well as at the site of a Roman–
late antique necropolis. Further construction work, conducted without archaeological supervision,
revealed more ancient structures which were in all probability connected with wine production.
Christian settlement at Failaka, Qusur site (Kuwait):
excavations in 2011 and 2013
Authors: Żurek Magdalena
Published: July 2018

Excavations of the Qusur complex in the center of Failaka Island in Kuwait commenced in
2011 and were continued in 2013, carried out by a team from the University of Warsaw. A magnetic
prospection preceded the fieldwork. In the course of two seasons three of nine units in the northernmost
part of the site were investigated. Stone enclosures and small houses with white mortar
floors were discovered and dated provisionally to the late pre-Islamic and early Islamic period.
The settlement was cleared of practically all finds save for some refuse pottery in the courtyards.

The site of Kharaib el-Desht on Failaka Island, Kuwait, was explored by an archaeological
Kuwaiti–Polish team for the first time in 2013. The project included a survey and underwater
archaeological research. Preliminary results indicate a dating of the site to the late Islamic
period. Pottery collected from the survey of the site and from the excavations has been studied in
a sepearate appendix to this report. As for the underwater and waterfront archaeology project,
the main objective was to locate and describe seashore archaeological sites, provide documentary
evidence and manage proper preservation of the discoveries in order to further educational
opportunities.
Cross-cultural bead encounters at the Red Sea port site of Berenike, Egypt. preliminary assessment (seasons 2009–2012)
Authors: Then-Obłuska Joanna
Published: July 2018

A macroscopic analysis of the bead and pendant assemblage from Berenike (excavated in seasons 2009–2012) provides not only a preliminary bead typology and chronology, but contributes to the study of the multicultural character of the Red Sea port of Berenike from the Ptolemaic through the early Byzantine period. The presence of diverse marine and terrestrial organics, semiprecious stones and manmade materials used in crafting beads indicates a substantial supply from coastal and inland desert dwellers, as well as from overland and overseas traders. Part of the products found at Berenike must have been designated for permanent and temporary residents of the town. Other objects originated from, or were destined for African, Arabian or Asian markets.
New insights into Nubian archery
Authors: Zieliński Łukasz
Published: July 2018

Archeological sites in Nubia are a continuous source of new material connected either generally or specifically with Nubian archery. Objects of this kind discussed here and in other publications of excavated assemblages (including excavations of the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archeology, University of Warsaw) are seldom perceived as such, indiscernible as they are among the range of metal objects judged as being weaponry in a general sense. The lack of any synthetic work on Nubian archery is also evident in the literature in general and the few works that undertake the theme contain errors that are in need of being corrected. This article deals with issues related to the topic, which, although discussed separately, will hopefully work toward establishing the groundwork for a final reconstruction.
Glazed Ifriqiyyan ceramics from the Hafsid period from the site of Kom el-Dikka in Alexandria
Authors: Zawadzińska Anna
Published: July 2018

The presented pottery collection comes from the excavation of a medieval Islamic cemetery discovered at the Kom el-Dikka site in Alexandria, Egypt. The described set represents only a small fraction of an assemblage consisting of ceramics imported from the world known at the time. Hafsid pottery is easily distinguished thanks to a characteristic palette of colors: brown and blue patterns painted on a creamy-white background. The decoration repertoire can be divided into the following main groups of motifs: zoomorphic, floral, geometric and pseudo-epigraphic. The archaeological evidence is insufficient to support a periodization of this collection; the suggested dating follows from a stylistic analysis of the decoration compared with dated parallels from excavations on the citadel in Tunis and the bacini (bowls) preserved in Italian cathedrals.
