Authors: Astuti Diah Lestari Dwi , Nuryanti Lusi
Published: November 2022

Menjelang persalinan banyak perempuan merasakan kecemasan yang cenderung meningkat dan terkadang berlebihan. Kecemasan kehamilan dapat berkurang jika perempuan hamil mendapatkan dukungan dari suami dan memiliki kematangan emosi yang tinggi. Kecemasan yang rendah membuat kehamilan dan persalinan dapat berjalan dengan sehat dan normal.Â  Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menguji hubungan dukungan suami dan kematangan emosiÂ  ibu hamil dengan kecemasan ibu menghadapi persalinan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif korelasional. Jumlah subjek sebanyak 170 ibu hamil, dengan usia kehamilan 28 minggu sampai dengan 41 minggu. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan tiga skala, yaitu: Skala Dukungan SuamiÂ  (Î±=0.919), Skala Kematangan EmosiÂ  (Î±=0.909), dan Skala Kecemasan Persalinan (Î±=0.925).Â  Analisis data menggunakan regresi ganda Program SPSS 17.0 for Windows. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan antara dukungan suami dan kematangan emosi dengan kecemasan menghadapi persalinan, dibuktikan dengan nilai koefisien korelasi R= 0,356; p= 0,000 (p<0,01) dengan FRegresi = 12,155. Selain itu, dukungan suami dan kematangan emosi berkontribusi menurunkan kecemasan ibu dalam menghadapi persalinan.

Gangguan kecemasan merupakan kondisi seseorang merasa takut dan cemas yang berlebihan yang dicirikan dengan perasaan tegang, pikiran khawatir hingga perubahan fisik pada seseorang yang mengakibatkan seseorang berperilaku maladaptif. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) merupakan intervensi yang bertujuan untuk mengurangi perilaku maladaptif anak dan melatih orangtua yang mengalami hambatan pada pola asuh. Peneliti melakukan uji meta-analisis untuk mengetahui tingkat efektivitas PCIT untuk mengurangi gangguan kecemasan pada individu. Hasil dari 10 studi menunjukkan hasil uji meta-analisis diperoleh hasil effect size masuk dalam kategori medium to large effect size dengan Hedgeâ€™s g = -0,755 (95% Cl -1,521 sampai 0,011) dengan I2 = 93,64% (â‰¥ 80%). Hasil uji tersebut juga menunjukkan tidak terjadi bias publikasi dengan Eiger bias p=0,188 (â‰¥ 0,05). Hasil uji dengan menggunakan moderator pada jenis adaptasi PCIT juga menunjukkan small effect yakni 0,317 (>0,8). Berdasarkan hasil uji meta-analisis tersebut, menunjukkan bahwa PCIT memiliki tingkat efektivitas medium to large effect size untuk mengurangi gangguan kecemasan. Hasil uji tersebut juga menunjukkan hasil yang inkonsisten dengan penelitian sebelumnya, sehingga membutuhkan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengetahui efektivitas PCIT untuk mengurangi gangguan kecemasan.

EFFECTIVENESS OF B3 WASTE MANAGEMENT OF CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) SELF-QUARANTINE
Authors: Azteria Veza , Irfandi Ahmad , Veronika Erna
Published: November 2022

Patients who self-quarantine were carried out to break the chain from the spread of the COVID-19 virus, but a new problem arose: solid medical B3 waste originating from these patients. If this B3 medical waste is not managed properly, it can potentially transmit and be contaminated by infectious substances. Management of infectious waste from self-quarantine patients was minimal because most people did not know about it, and there was a lack of infrastructure from the government. Therefore the researchers were interested in researching the management of B3 waste, substantial B3 waste, from people who carried out Covid-19 self-quarantine. This study aimed to determine the community's effectiveness in managing solid medical B3 waste from COVID-19 self-quarantine activities. Using the snowball sampling method and cross-sectional design, the results showed that there was a significant relationship between Attitude (P Value = 0.000), Knowledge (P value = 0.006), Age (P Value = 0.019), Gender (P value = 0.000), Occupation (P value = 0.000) and Education (P value = 0.04) on community behavior in managing B3 medical waste during the Covid-19 self-quarantine period. Management of Solid B3 Medical Waste from self-quarantine has not been effective since its application is still low, and local drop boxes were not available as temporary shelters for B3 waste.

Authors: Trifando Rendi Yopi , Sutanto Haryati Bawole , Prihatmo Guruh
Published: November 2022

The domestic wastewater is mostly produced in settlement areas and usually directly discharged into the environment. Its high organic matter and nutrients will pollute the environment. As an alternative, one of the good wastewater treatment systems is the Sub Surface Flow Constructed Wetland. This system has some advantages such as easy implementation, low cost, and doesnâ€™t need a large area. The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency of Canna indica and Cyperus alternifolius to reduce organic matter and phosphate. This study is an experimental study with two treatments (T1: SSF CW with Canna indica; T2: SSF CW with Cyperus alternifolius). The SSF CW system contains gravels those diameters are 3-5 cm, 1-3 cm, and <1 cm, as well as paddy soil as media with HRT of 3 days. The parameters measured included temperature, BOD, DO, PO4, and pH. Based on this study, it can be concluded that the higher removal efficiency of organic matter is shown by the CW SSF system with Cyperus alternifolius. It is 48,86% in T2 and 42,69% in T1. While the removal efficiency of phosphate in T1 and T2 are 65,70% and 67,21% respectively.

Abstrak  - Sales Executive pada KIA Motors Siliwangi merupakan karyawan dengan status kontrak yang masa kerjanya dapat diperpanjang secara berkala dengan melihat capaian target penjualan yang telah ditentukan oleh perusahaan. Apabila target penjualan tidak tercapai maka kontrak kerja akan dihentikan. Agar dapat memacu semangat para karyawan untuk dapat bekerja secara optimal dan maksimal maka pemberian penghargaan sebagai Sales Executive terbaik merupakan hal yang penting. Sales Supervisor dalam menentukan karyawan terbaik belum menggunakan metode yang dapat menangani penilaian karyawan dengan banyak kriteria sehingga untuk membantu proses penilaian dibutuhkan sebuah sistem yang diharapkan dapat membantu untuk membuat suatu keputusan. Metode Weighted Product merupakan metode pengambilan keputusan dengan cara perkalian untuk menghubungkan rating atribut, di mana rating setiap atribut harus dipangkatkan dulu dengan bobot atribut yang bersangkutan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa sistem pendukung keputusan dengan metode Weighted Product memudahkan Sales Supervisor dalam melakukan penilaian terhadap Sales Executive sesuai kriteria yang telah ditentukan sehingga tujuan dalam melakukan penelitian dapat tercapai.Kata Kunci : Sistem Pendukung Keputusan, Sales Executive Terbaik, Weighted Product. Abstract  - Sales Executives at KIA Motors Siliwangi are employees with contract status whose tenure can be extended periodically by looking at the achievement of sales targets that have been determined by the company. If the sales target is not achieved, the work contract will be terminated. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of employees to work optimally and maximally, the awarding of the best Sales Executive is important. Sales Supervisors in determining the best employees have not used a method that can handle employee assessments with many criteria so that to assist the assessment process a system is needed which is expected to help make a decision. The Weighted Product method is a decision-making method by multiplying to connect attribute ratings, where the rating of each attribute must be raised first with the weight of the attribute in question. The results showed that the decision support system with the Weighted Product method made it easier for Sales Supervisors to evaluate Sales Executives according to predetermined criteria so that the objectives of conducting research could be achieved.Keywords: Decision Support System, Best Sales Executive, Weighted Product.
SOME ASPECTS OF THE INTEGRATION OF PEER-ASSESSMENT IN EFL WRITING CLASSROOM (CASE OF GEORGIA)
Authors: Diakonidze Inga
Published: November 2022

Writing skills are considered to be the most challenging skills for a second language learner to master. Large number of studies have been carried out to address this issue. The researchers emphasise the vital role of adequate pedagogical approach, fair assessment, and constructive feedback in teaching writing. The main focus of this study is peer assessment, as one of the most effective techniques for developing writing skills by giving feedbacks and assessments. However, this technique, similar to any other methodological tools, can encounter the problems. This research highlights some of the major problems encountered in the peer assessment process and suggests recommendations for their solution. Empirical data of this study are collected from self-reflective classroom practice of peer-assessment. Quantitative analysis is performed on the points assigned by the peers and by the professor by using t-test. Qualitative analysis is carried out based on class observation and thematic analysis of the feedbacks provided by the participants. The results of the research show that the most significant factors that hinder successful implementation of peer assessment in EFL classroom in Georgia, are the social factor of friendship and the lack of oral interaction between the reviewer groups and the reviewees. Respectively, adoption of the two-fold model of peer-assessment that includes: 1. Written format of peer-assessment with final points assigned by the professor and 2. Oral interaction between the assessor(s) and assessed students, makes the peerassessment one of the most effective techniques for developing writing skills in EFL classes in Georgia.

Authors: Pratiwi Mutia Ayu , Muhlisin Abi
Published: November 2022

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV 2). The most common manifestations of COVID-19 include fever > 37.5˚C, cough, flu, anosmia, and respiratory distress—the virus cause Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which quickly turns into respiratory failure. Therefore COVID-19 patients with ARDS require intensive care in a hospital with oxygen support. One type of oxygen therapy used to treat COVID-19 with ARDS is a High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) administration. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of HFNC therapy in COVID-19 patients with ARDS. This study used a literature review research design. Sources of literature were carried out on Google Scholar, Science Direct, Pubmed, and Sage Journal, with the final results obtained from eight reviewed articles. The results of the eight articles stated that using HFNC positively impacted the decreased need for mechanical ventilation and increased gas exchange of COVID-19 patients with ARDS.

Published: November 2022

The study is to explore the burden experienced during dialysis care integration in a patient’s life. A systematic search was employed and focused on qualitative studies. We searched some reference lists of eligible studies published in 2018-2022. We followed the PRISMA guidelines, and the analysis employed a meta-ethnography study. We identified that the dialysis care integration burden had been perceived since the initial decision to dialysis care integration. Patients felt powerless since they were provided with no choice of medical intervention. The perceived service affordability and barriers had added more burden experience of dialysis care integration. The dialysis care integration restricts various aspects of the patient’s life: food and drink intake, mobilization, and activity. The strategy for integrated dialysis care required utilizing numerous resources to build positive coping strategies. The finding signified that dialysis patients demanded assistance from various resources to adjust to the current dialysis care.

The objective of this study was to analyze the cultural and tourist perception index (IPCT) of the boi “Flor do Campo” and boi “Malhadinho” associations, participants of the Folkloric Festival of Guajará-Mirim, on the border with Bolivia. As a basis for theoretical support, the theory of endogenous development was used. To determine the indicators, questionnaires were applied to the associations, which were submitted to the SPSS statistical tool (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), version 17, as described in Cavalcante [4]; Santana [42] and [43]. The results showed that the trust and governance indices of the “boi Malhadinho” association were considered “bad” by the scale adopted in this work. In the boi Flor do Campo association, the perception index reached a result considered “good” by the scale adopted (0.645). The parameters of Trust and Governance presented results considered “regular” (0.473 and 0.560, respectively). By the average of the parameters, the IPCT – Flor do Campo was equal to 0.559 (regular) and IPCT – Malhadinho 0.406 (regular). Therefore, this result reinforces the view that the structuring problem of Guajará-Mirim is not economic but social. And according to this result, it is clear how coherent this work is with the research carried out on social capital in the region by Cavalcante [4] and Cavalcante and Alves [8]. And in this way, it meets North's institutionalist theory that says that growth is not the cause of development but a consequence. In this sense, what points to the level of local development is the institutional arrangement itself, that is, society itself building a prosperous and healthy path.

Coastal zones fulfill important ecological, social and economic functions. Because soil flooded by tidal variations and due to great variation in salinity. Mangroves cover these regions. They are also a tropical coastal ecological system, always in the lowlands, at the mouths of rivers and estuaries. Despite their important environmental role, mangrove areas have been continuously decreasing worldwide, with an average reduction of 30% in the last 30 years. Thus, this research sought to determine land use and land cover change in low Subaé. With emphasis on Mangrove areas and urban occupation. We used supervised classifications of satellite images to evaluate the changes. We chose images from 1988, 2003, and 2017. And used images from the Landsat series (30m) and an image from the PlanetScope satellite (3m). We validated classifications through the Tau and Geographical Simultaneity concordance measures. We observed that performing the spatio-temporal analysis observing only the variation of areas may not represent the phenomena that occurred. The overall Tau index calculation for the ratings was 0.89. During the period 1988-2017 there was a significant reduction in Agricultural areas, corresponding to around 15% of the study area. Meanwhile, growth of pasture from 24km² to 48Km² and the Urban Zone, occurred over all classes, including mangroves.

Weed infestation is an essential factor in sugarcane productivity loss. The use of remote sensing data in conjunction with Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, can lead the cultivation of sugarcane to a new level in terms of weed control. For this purpose, an algorithm based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) was developed to detect, quantify, and map weeds in sugarcane areas located in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. Images of the PlanetScope satellite were subdivided, separated, trained in different scenarios, classified and georeferenced, producing a map with weed information included. Scenario one of the CNN training and test presented overall accuracy (0,983), and it was used to produce the final mapping of forest areas, sugarcane, and weed infestation. The quantitative analysis of the area (ha) infested by weed indicated a high probability of a negative impact on sugarcane productivity. It is recommended that the adequacy of CNN’s algorithm for Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) images be carried out, aiming at the differentiation between weed species, as well as its application in the detection in areas with different culture crops

Published: November 2022

Castor is an industrially important oilseed crop, which provides raw material to many industries. Despite its industrial importance, the genomic resources available for molecular breeding applications are limited. In the present study, a set of 135 SNP loci polymorphic between two castor inbred lines namely, JC-12 and RG-1963 were targeted to develop competitive allele specific PCR assays for genotyping purposes. The assays were validated in the F2 population of JC-12 × RG-1963 cross. Out of 135 assays designed, 124 were found to be successful in discriminating three expected genotypes in the F2 population. Using the SNP genotyping data, a genetic linkage map representing 10 haploid chromosomes of castor was constructed, which corresponded very well with the physical map. This set of validated SNP markers is a useful resource for application in molecular breeding of castor.

Published: November 2022

Though the non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not encode for proteins, they act as functional RNAs and regulate gene expression besides their involvement in disease-causing mechanisms and epigenetic mechanisms. Thus, discriminating ncRNAs from coding RNAs (cRNAs) is important in transcriptome studies. Several machine learning-based classifiers, including deep learning classifiers, have been employed for discriminating cRNAsfrom ncRNAs. However, the performance comparison of such classifiers in plant species is yet to be ascertained. Thus, in the present study, the performance of the classifiers such as Deep Neural Network (DNN), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were evaluated for classifying cRNAs and ncRNAsby using the datasets of plant species including crops such as rice, wheat, maize, cotton, sunflower, barley, banana, grape, papaya. Further, the performance of classifiers was assessed by following the cross-validation process as well as by considering an independent test data set of 3,997 cRNAs and 4,110 ncRNAs. The results revealed that Random Forest classifier exhibited highest performance accuracy (99.803%) among the machine learning classifiers, followed by DNN (99.519%), SVM (97.364%) and ANN (99.260%). The present study is expected to help computational and experimental biologists for easy discrimination between coding and non-coding RNAs.

Published: November 2022

Considering global warming as a major constraint of yield and quality, the present study accessed the impact of terminal heat stress on wheat yield stability and grain Fe and Zn content in wheat. Twenty-three wheat genotypes of CGIAR Research Program (CRP) and two check varieties, PBW343 and HD2967 were evaluated for grain yield stability and the Fe and Zn content under heat stress conditions at terminal stage. Stability measures indicated CRP7, CRP8, CRP33, CRP46, and CRP48 to be the most stable genotypes. Grain iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) content showed a high degree of variation. Under normal sown conditions the Fe content varied from 20.47 ppm (HD2967) to 76.07 ppm (CRP7) while the Zn content varied from 25.17 ppm (HD2967) to 65.6 ppm (CRP48). Under the stress, variation in the Fe content was observed from 10.17 ppm (PBW343) to 43.93 ppm (CRP54) whereas the Zn content variation ranged from 20.33 ppm (CRP30) to 55.13 ppm (CRP48). The overall average content of Fe was reduced by 31.98 % and Zn by 5.91% under the heat stress indicating grain Fe content to be highly vulnerable to the terminal heat stress than the Zn content.

Authors: Srivastava Akanksha , Kumar G.
Published: November 2022

The significance of polyploidy in the evolutionary process of plants history is well documented. In this concern, seed priming with colchicine as well as the cotton-swab method for polyploidy induction in plants becomes much acquainted in cytogenetic study. The aim of present study was to achieve chromosomal doubling by the application of colchicine to apical meristem of young seedlings. The young seedlings were treated with three different concentrations of colchicine (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6%) for durations of 12, 24 and 36 h each. The colchiploidy with highest proportion approximately 50% with 2n=4x=32 was found at 0.2% concentration for 24 and 36 h. Autotetraploid enduring plants were identified with morphological and cytological variations such as thickness of leaf, larger stomata with low density, larger pollen, large flower etc. Buds were selected from these plants for the cytological study. Cytological analysis including chromosome counting demonstrated that the chromosome number was doubled. The confirmation of autotetraploid plants was achieved by this technique. Tetraploid plants were grown up to maturity and the harvested seeds were sown to establish the second generation which may be used in future breeding programme

Sein und Kunst: Zum epistemischen Wert der Kunst bei Heidegger
Authors: Briesen Jochen , Gutschmidt Rico
Published: November 2022

In this essay, Heidegger's theses on art, as he develops them in the text "On the Origin of the Work of Art," are reconstructed, interpreted, and critically evalua- ted. In doing so, we pursue a threefold goal. First, his theses on art are put in relation to the main theme of his philosophy:
the question of being. Second, the different ways in which Heidegger takes art to be epistemically valuable are dif- ferentiated and reconstructed in detail. Third, Heidegger's theses are related to the contemporary debate on the epistemic value of art and critically discussed.
Determinismus – eine empirische These
Authors: Hüttemann Andreas
Published: November 2022

In some German-language contributions to the debate on free will, it is assumed or claimed that determinism is not an empirically verifiable thesis. Peter Bieri, for example, thinks that one must presuppose determinism in order to understand the world as a conceivable world. Determinism
would then not be an empirical thesis, but rather a condition without which the conceivability of the world cannot be thought (Bieri 2001, 15/16). Geert Keil writes that determinism "can neither be verified nor falsified experimentally and therefore determinism [is] a metaphysical thesis,
not a scientific one" (Keil 2018, 58). In contrast to these two claims, I will argue that determinism is most usefully conceived as an empirical thesis whose verification faces many difficulties. These difficulties, however, are not fundamentally different from those faced by other empirical
theses.
Logical Aliens? Eine Verallgemeinerung und Verteidigung der Psychologismus-Kritik Freges gegen Wittgensteins Naturalismus
Authors: Özbe Ufuk
Published: November 2022

The fundamental laws of logic hold independently of us. Thus, if there were beings who thought in contradiction to these laws, they would be in error. The paper defends this stance of Frege's against Wittgenstein's combination of logical constitutivism and logical naturalism. Frege's
arguments against psychologism are more general than his usual wording suggests and are, at their core, directed against the whole of logical naturalism. Contrary to prevailing opinions on this subject, I argue that constitutivism alone cannot deflect Frege's attack. Rather, constitutivism
is neutral to the opposition between logical realism and logical naturalism. The later Wittgenstein was not only a constitutivist, but, as will be explained, also a logical naturalist. By shedding new light on the logical alien problem, I attempt to apply Frege's generalized arguments
to Wittgensteinian naturalism. This naturalism inevitably leads to a radical and self-undermining relativism.
Was heißt es, etwas zu können? Philosophische und philologische Überlegungen zu Aristoteles, Metaphysik Θ 5
Authors: Weidemann Hermann
Published: November 2022

In the fifth chapter of book Θ of his Metaphysics Aristotle takes the view that one possesses the rational potency to do x if and only if in any situation in which all external conditions that are necessary for one's doing x are fulfilled one only needs to
have the will to do x in order actually to do x in a skillful way. The modern editors of Aristotle's Metaphysics have made it unnecessarily difficult to understand this chapter, because they deleted a crucial word in a certain sen- tence rather than adding a word that
appears to be missing from that sentence.

Why another new journal? Since my PhD research I have specialised in Landscape Archaeology in the Mediterranean, and over the decades this field has broadened in a totally unpredictable fashion. Originally it was developed to locate places mentioned in Classical texts, then Prehistory was added by the end of the 19th century, with occasional mention of Medieval sites. With the advent of intensive survey in the late 1970s, field-by-field study of the Mediterranean landscape inescapably recorded pottery scatters of every age up to the Post-Medieval era, although it has been a slow progression for post-Roman sites to be given the same attention as earlier eras. The serious study of deserted Medieval and Early Modern villages and farms could be added to the well-known Roman villas and Classical farmsteads recognised from the start of intensive survey programmes. Then the survival of substantial ruined buildings on post-Roman sites called for their documentation and contextualising into similar buildings still rarely observable in existing communities. Just as ancient texts had been invaluable from the beginning of landscape archaeology, so now Medieval and later sources could be brought in to give depth to ceramics and houses in the countryside.
‘Manly hearted’ Mycenaeans (?): challenging preconceptions of warrior ideology in Mycenae’s Grave Circle B
Authors: Leith Kristin E.
Published: November 2022

This article investigates the distribution of weaponry in what is arguably one of the most important and distinctive archaeological sites in Greece, a funerary site that is seen as the starting point on the mainland for the expression and aggrandisement of the male Mycenaean warrior in death. The Shaft Graves are made up of two walled burial precincts, known as Grave Circle A, and Grave Circle B, the first located within and the other just outside the fortification walls of Mycenae in the region of the Argolid in the north-eastern Peloponnese on the Mainland of Greece. Most likely built by an elite kin group or groups vying to establish something akin to dynastic power, they are the richest graves documented on Mainland Greece up to that time and represent a momentous ideological shift in Mycenaean culture that took place on the mainland of Greece, c. 1700–1450 BC. Grave Circle B came into use first, and Grave Circle A shortly thereafter. Both cemeteries were active from the MHIII to LHII periods.
Encounters with death: was there dark tourism in Classical Greece?
Authors: Sulosky Weaver Carrie L.
Published: November 2022

‘Dark tourism’ is generally defined as travel to sites associated with suffering, death, or the macabre. In the modern world, popular dark tourism destinations include bloody battlefields such as Gallipoli and Waterloo, sites of disaster like Chernobyl and the World Trade Center, and scenes of genocide including the Holocaust concentration camps and the killing fields of Rwanda. Although some scholars in the burgeoning field of dark tourism studies maintain that travel of this sort is a phenomenon of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, humans have long been drawn to places of death and disaster, and dark tourism arguably has its roots in antiquity.
Different communities, different choices Human agency and the formation of tableware distribution patterns in Hellenistic Asia Minor
Authors: Van der Enden Mark
Published: November 2022

The interpretation of pottery distribution patterns has always been an important analytical endeavour in archaeological approaches to the past. The spatial distribution of pottery has, for example, been queried to identify cultural zones, landscape use, activity areas, and patterns of trade and economic interaction. Pottery distribution patterns can indeed tell us an awful lot about the socio-economic, cultural and geo-political dispositions of the past. Researchers of Classical Greek and Roman pottery have in particular made great strides in this respect and significantly increased our understanding of not only the pottery itself but also the way in which it was produced, distributed, used and discarded. What have not yet received much attention, however, are the formation processes lying behind ceramic distribution patterns observable in the archaeological record. It is precisely with this issue that the present contribution is concerned and by focussing on the Hellenistic tableware distributions of four archaeological sites in (Western) Asia Minor, it will test the importance and role of contextualized human agency with regards to the formation of ceramic distribution patterns.
The current state of the research and future perspectives for the methodology and the interpretation of Byzantine pottery of the 11th and 12th centuries AD
Authors: Yangaki Anastasia G.
Published: November 2022

Even though researchers became interested in the study of Middle Byzantine ceramics at a very early stage, in the first decades of the 20th century, it’s only during the past two decades and especially since the beginning of the 21st century that we can observe a more systematic research. Its point of focus is located in the renewed typological classification of some pottery categories; in clarifying issues of dating and provenance; and in dealing with the coarse, usually undecorated pottery, the cooking wares and the transport and storage vessels. Up until then (and in some cases even now) research gave special emphasis on the study of fine glazed pottery.

Published: November 2022

In 1981, the talks between the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot leaders resulted in the establishment of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP), as a tripartite bi-communal committee taking decisions on the basis of consensus. It is comprised of three Members, representing the Greek Cypriot community, the Turkish Cypriot community, while the Third Member is nominated by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General.
Evangelia Stefani, Nikos Merousis and Anastasia Dimoula. A century of research in prehistoric Macedonia 1912-2012
Authors: Maria Valamoti Soultana
Published: November 2022

This volume is the fruitful outcome of an international conference dedicated to a century of prehistoric research in Macedonia. The conference was held within a wider framework of commemorations on the occasion of the centenary since the liberation of Thessaloniki from the Ottoman rule. The conference was organised by the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, its director Polyxeni Adam-Veleni and a large team of the Museum’s archaeologists as well as Archaeology Professors from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The volume, edited by Evangelia Stefani, Nikos Merousis and Anastasia Dimoula, presents a rich overview of prehistoric investigations conducted within the geographical area corresponding to the region of Macedonia in northern Greece. It comprises in total sixty papers written mostly in Greek (12 amongst them are written in English), with English abstracts, occasionally of substantial extent.
Maja Miše. Gnathia and Related Hellenistic Ware on the East Adriatic Coast
Authors: Van der Enden Mark
Published: November 2022

Maja Miše’s book Gnahia and Related Ware on the East Adriatic Coast is a timely addition to the field of Hellenistic pottery studies and an excellent overview of the regional occurrence of this well-known ware. M. presents in her book a thorough examination of the occurrence of Gnathia pottery in the East Adriatic and particularly focusses on defining the local Issaean production of this ware. The occurrence of Gnathia pottery in the East Adriatic is contrasted by M. with the production of the Ware in Southern Italy (the Ware’s area of inception), for which she devises a typological and developmental framework, sheds new light not only on the development of Gnathia pottery in Southern Italy but also across the Adriatic. M’s book is therefore an excellent overview of Gnathia pottery, its origin and development, distribution in southern Italy and in the Adriatic and attempts to view the occurrence of this important ware within a wider socio-economic context.
Rosa Bacile and John McNeill (eds). Romanesque and the Mediterranean, Points of contact across the Latin, Greek and Islamic Worlds, c.1000- c.1250
Authors: Crow James
Published: November 2022

This informative and well-presented volume is the result of papers presented in Palermo in 2012 at the British Architectural Association’s second international Romanesque conference. The Romanesque is essentially a Latin, central and western European expression of art and architecture and the papers identify and question those points of contact with the established traditions of Byzantium and Islam. Few places are better placed to see this interaction than Sicily and this is reflected in two of the main papers on the Cappella Palatina, Roger of Sicily’s new Norman palace in Palermo (it should be noted that the papers vary considerably in length). The first by Johns concerns Moslem Fatimid artists of the painted ceiling and how they were influenced by the Byzantine and Romanesque images they encountered in Palermo.
Margaret M. Miles (ed.) Autopsy in Athens. Recent archaeological research on Athens and Attica
Authors: Lang Franziska
Published: November 2022

Mit dem Titel ‘Autopsy of Athens’ beschreibt die Herausgeberin Margaret M. Miles in ihrer Einleitung das persönliche In-Augenschein-nehmen Athens, das mit dem Interesse an dieser Stadt seit der Antike immer verbunden war. Dies veranschaulicht Miles in einer knappen Geschichte der Erforschung Athens im Laufe der Jahrhunderte. Forschungs- und Bildungsreisen war lange die übliche Form, bis im 19.Jh. verschiedene Länder ‘Schulen’ in der Stadt einrichteten, womit das akademische Interesse einen institutionellen Rahmen erhielt. Die American School of Classical Studies at Athens setzte bald nach ihrer Gründung 1881 ein akademisches Programm auf, das bis heute nordamerikanischen Studierenden einen einjährigen Aufenthalt in Athen ermöglicht, während dieser Zeit die Antiken—nicht nur Athens und Attikas—in direkter Autopsie erkunden zu können.

Authors: Gaffney Chris
Published: November 2022

This edited volume is a product of the POLITEIA project / Action KRIPIS funded by the Ministry of Education, Greece and the European Regional Development Fund / European Commission and contains 25 articles of varying length and scope. It is evident from the title of the volume that there is a theme running through the articles that draws on concepts relating to best practice in a variety of geoinformatic technologies. Furthermore, the imagery and case studies that populate the pages of the volume are familiar to those with an interest in Greek archaeology, or the broader Mediterranean zone.
