Saving the Wild South
Authors: Eubanks Georgann
Published: January 2023

The American South is famous for its astonishingly rich biodiversity. In this book, Georgann Eubanks takes a wondrous trek from Alabama to North Carolina to search out native plants that are endangered and wavering on the edge of erasure. Even as she reveals the intricate beauty and biology of the South’s plant life, she also shows how local development and global climate change are threatening many species, some of which have been graduated to the federal list of endangered species.
Why should we care, Eubanks asks, about North Carolina’s Yadkin River goldenrod, found only in one place on earth? Or the Alabama canebrake pitcher plant, a carnivorous marvel being decimated by criminal poaching and a booming black market? These plants, she argues, are important not only to the natural environment but also to southern identity, and she finds her inspiration in talking with the heroes—the botanists, advocates, and conservationists young and old—on a quest to save these green gifts of the South for future generations. These passionate plant lovers caution all of us not to take for granted the sensitive ecosystems that contribute to the region’s long-standing appeal, beauty, and character.
War and Its Aftermath
Authors: Link William A.
Published: January 2023

This chapter focuses on Frank Graham’s experiences during World War I. Although he never set foot in Europe and was confined to stateside service, Graham was decisively shaped by this experience. He became more internationally focused and emerged from the war as a dedicated Wilsonian internationalist.
A Practical Philosopher of Compromise
Authors: Link William A.
Published: January 2023

World War II was critically important in the history of the US South. Graham played a significant role in the American home front as a member of the National War Labor Board. His participation in the NWLB drew him away from North Carolina and vaulted him into an important role in Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s wartime labor policies.
To Address You as My Friend
Authors: Medford Edna Greene
Published: January 2023

Many African Americans of the Civil War era felt a personal connection to Abraham Lincoln. For the first time in their lives, an occupant of the White House seemed concerned about the welfare of their race. Indeed, despite the tremendous injustice and discrimination that they faced, African Americans now had confidence to write to the president and to seek redress of their grievances. Their letters express the dilemmas, doubts, and dreams of both recently enslaved and free people in the throes of dramatic change. For many, writing Lincoln was a last resort. Yet their letters were often full of determination, making explicit claims to the rights of U.S. citizenship in a wide range of circumstances.
This compelling collection presents more than 120 letters from African Americans to Lincoln, most of which have never before been published. They offer unflinching, intimate, and often heart-wrenching portraits of Black soldiers' and civilians' experiences in wartime. As readers continue to think critically about Lincoln's image as the "Great Emancipator," this book centers African Americans' own voices to explore how they felt about the president and how they understood the possibilities and limits of the power vested in the federal government.
Servile Insurrection
Authors: Foote Lorien
Published: January 2023

From January-June 1863, Black Federal troops, including the 1st South Carolina, the 2nd South Carolina, and the 54th Massachusetts conducted raids in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The commanders of these regiments, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, James Montgomery, and Robert Gould Shaw, reflected broader disagreements over the policy of employing Black troops in a strategy of destruction and over the restraints necessary to fight a civilized war. Confederate officers believed that the United States had unleashed a servile insurrection. The Confederate Congress, after internal debate over international law and federalism, issued a retaliation resolution that declared that all Black men in Federal uniform, even if born free in a Northern state, would not be treated as prisoners of war. US Commanders in South Carolina used General Orders No. 100 as a guide to defend the use of Black troops and to encourage restraint. The occupation of Jacksonville, the Combahee raid, and the Darien raid demonstrate how Federal commanders sought to fight a civilized war with Black soldiers who were widely perceived to be barbaric.
Prisoners
Authors: Foote Lorien
Published: January 2023

During Maj. Gen. Quincy A. Gillmore’s operations against Confederate positions in Charleston Harbor, including Fort Wagner, Confederates took Black soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts prisoner. The Confederacy was in position to enact its threatened retaliation against Black soldiers. When local Confederate commanders dishonoured the body of Robert Gould Shaw, the United States announced a retaliatory policy that focused on Confederate treatment of Union soldiers born free in the North. The US War Department used information about the treatment and location of three Black Union sailors. Confederate officials were divided over the legality of their own policy. Believing that their reputation before the civilized world would suffer, the Davis administration and the Confederate congress swerved off their intended course and conceded the perspective of the US government. Gillmore’s use of engineering technology to bombard the city of Charleston prompted a retaliation ritual with Confederate Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard over the treatment of non-combatants. This issue reflected the concern on both sides with convincing civilized world opinion that the civil war was fought with restraint.
Massacre
Authors: Foote Lorien
Published: January 2023

When Black soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts, 8th USC.T., and 1st North Carolina clashed with Confederate soldiers at the Battle of Olustee, the ensuing massacre of wounded soldiers escalated violence in the Department of the South beyond the boundaries of civilized warfare. The Confederacy did transfer Black prisoners to its military prison at Andersonville. The US War Department’s retaliation had forced the Confederate government to recognize free-born Black northern soldiers as prisoners of war. Confederate officers and soldiers fighting on the ground and handling Yankee prisoners did not always accept the official policy of the Confederate War Department and committed war crimes that challenged the ability of both sides to restrain war through retaliation. This is exemplified in the Confederate treatment of the body of Col. Charles W. Fribley and the Black prisoners captured at Olustee. Federal Brig. Gen. Truman Seymour did nothing to protect these men. Hatred and rage, rather than honor and restraint, marked military events in Florida in 1864, and many soldiers and officers in the region feared that Americans were losing their claim to a place in the civilized world. The Union response to the massacre at Fort Pillow demonstrated the limits of retaliation.
Human Shields
Authors: Foote Lorien
Published: January 2023

Because of the ongoing Federal bombardment of Charleston under Maj. Gen. John G. Foster, Confederate Maj. Gen. Samuel Jones decided to use human shields to force its suspension. Foster put Confederate prisoners of war under fire in retaliation, and additionally decided to implement a ration retaliation that withheld from 600 Confederate prisoners the food they needed to maintain health. High ranking officials on both sides were willing to mistreat enemy prisoners. The retaliation ritual increasingly failed to restrain the violence of the American Civil War because of ulterior motives and hidden agendas. The 1200 prisoners of war subjected to retaliation in Charleston Harbor believed the conditions they endured decivilized them and turned them into animals. At the same time that retaliation over the treatment of prisoners of war failed, the Federal retaliation on behalf of freeborn Black soldiers succeeded in ensuring their status as legitimate combatants.
Emotion and the Pursuit of Historical Insight in the Work of Jan Ellen Lewis
Authors: Eustace Nicole
Published: January 2023

The essays collected here illuminate the iterative process through which Jan Ellen Lewis arrived at the conclusion that emotions have a history, and that there is a connection between emotion and politics. The essays reveal the links between emotional culture and political ideology, between the regulation of emotion and the ordering of civic life. She argues that historians must “consider the place of emotion in the politics of the early national era in American history.” This advance dovetails with the evolution of her thinking about the history of women and gender. The more Lewis came to view the family a constitutive of politics, rather than—as early American themselves often claimed—a simple refuge from it, the more she was able to elucidate the political meanings of emotion.
Jan Ellen Lewis’s Thomas Jefferson Domestic Life and Family Values
Authors: Gordon-Reed Annette , Onuf Peter S.
Published: January 2023

Annette Gordon-Reed and Peter S. Onuf discuss Lewis’s presentation of Jefferson’s family life, specifically the ways in which he sought to orchestrate the relationship between himself and both his legal family and his extra-legal family. Widowered at thirty-nine, Jefferson exercised an outsized influence on the daughters he had with his wife, Martha Wayles Jefferson. He also directed the lives of his children with Sally Hemings, an enslaved woman, by maneuvering them out of slavery. Although Jefferson often wrote of a sharp distinction between public and private life, he saw the family as a prototype for society as a whole, with the hope that bonds of affection could bind citizens to one another.
The Generals' Civil War
Authors: Cushman Stephen
Published: January 2023

In December 1885, under the watchful eye of Mark Twain, the publishing firm of Charles L. Webster and Company released the first volume of the Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant. With a second volume published in March 1886, Grant’s memoirs became a popular sensation. Seeking to capitalize on Grant’s success and interest in earlier reminiscences by Joseph E. Johnston, William T. Sherman, and Richard Taylor, other Civil War generals such as George B. McClellan and Philip H. Sheridan soon followed suit. Some hewed more closely to Grant’s model than others, and their points of similarity and divergence left readers increasingly fascinated with the history and meaning of the nation’s great conflict. The writings also dovetailed with a rising desire to see the full sweep of American history chronicled, as its citizens looked to the start of a new century. Professional historians engaged with the memoirs as an important foundation for this work.
In this insightful book, Stephen Cushman considers Civil War generals’ memoirs as both historical and literary works, revealing how they remain vital to understanding the interaction of memory, imagination, and the writing of American history. Cushman shows how market forces shaped the production of the memoirs and, therefore, memories of the war itself; how audiences have engaged with the works to create ideas of history that fit with time and circumstance; and what these texts tell us about current conflicts over the history and meanings of the Civil War.
George B. McClellan’s Many Turnings
Authors: Cushman Stephen
Published: January 2023

Mark Twain’s competitors profited from division by publishing books from both North and South, but Twain attempted to profit from division by publishing books on either side of a northern divide between Ulysses S. Grant and George B. McClellan. McClellan’s Own Story was assembled posthumously by McClellan’s friend and editor William Cowper Prime, who included several private letters exchanged between McClellan and his wife, Ellen. These letters show three aspects of McClellan that have not received as much attention as the caricature of him as an overly cautious whiner. One aspect is McClellan’s religious sensibility, reflected in his many references to an ideal of Christian warfare. This aspect surfaces in his famous and controversial Harrison Landing letter, written to Abraham Lincoln in July 1862. A second aspect emerges in McClellan’s characteristic use of What-If counterfactual rhetoric. Many have dismissed this rhetoric as self-serving defensiveness, but it is more than that. A third aspect emerges in McClellan’s empathy and emotional connection with his soldiers. This aspect points to the power of emotional identification that continues to charge Civil War memory.
The Merit of Philip H. Sheridan’s Memoir Campaign
Authors: Cushman Stephen
Published: January 2023

Hoping to capitalize on the success of Grant’s memoir, Mark Twain approached Philip H. Sheridan to ask him to write his memoir as well. But by 1888, the Civil War memory market was becoming saturated with generals’ books, and Twain’s assistant at Charles L. Webster and Company warned that sales of Sheridan’s book would never equal those of Grant’s, despite Sheridan’s wide popularity at the time. Nevertheless, Sheridan wrote an excellent memoir in which he created a persona who was frank about his shortcomings, among them his tendency toward insubordination, and about his strengths, among them his ability to inspire soldiers under his command. In his accounts of his Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1864 and his part in the final Appomattox Campaign of April 1865, Sheridan’s narrative invites discussion of the role of contingency and moral luck in his successful career. Drawing on the thinking of philosopher Thomas Nagel, the discussion considers the relation between Sheridan’s brand of high-speed maneuver warfare and his moral luck.
Russians in Ukrainian Folklore from the 20th and Early 21st Centuries: The Dynamics of the Images and Contexts
Authors: Kuzmenko Oksana
Published: January 2023

The article presents the genesis and dynamics of the ethnostereotype of Russians in Ukrainian folklore from the 20th and early 21st centuries. The object of the interdisciplinary research is texts from printed sources, archival collections, and texts recorded during the author’s latest fieldwork between 2013 and 2018. The subject of the article is the variability of the ethnostereotype and its features. The goal is the semantic-structural analysis of three main images (moskal, ‘executioner [kat]’, rashyst), the main meaning of which is ‘invader of Ukrainian land’. Based on materials of various genres and the contexts of their functioning, the author proves that the image of the moskal was the most common in the folklore of the First World War. It preserves the archaic semantics of ‘devil’ and ‘alien’ based on folklore models from the 19th century. The image is ambivalent, mainly with negative connotations (uneducated, cunning, treacherous, thieving, rapacious, aggressive, cruel). The emphasis is placed on role changes in the semantics of the image of the enemy, the transition from ‘animal’ to human’. The change was fixed by the opposition in the formula ‘first’ (not) second moskal. The author examines the image of the ‘executioner’ based on the motifs of violence, cruelty and revenge highlighted in the insurgent and eviction folklore which formed during the Second World War. It is emphasised that in the folklore formula ‘Moscow executioner’, one should understand the superiority of the national over the social. The conclusions state that the semantics of the new images of Russians (rashyst, ork, rusnia) and their meaning are determined by the modern context of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the previously formed stereotypical meanings of moskal. Constant metaphorical epithets (‘scary’, ‘dark’ as uneducated, ‘wild’, ‘vile’, ‘lying’, ‘dirty’, ‘evil’, ‘fierce’, ‘Red’) verbalise these meanings.

Variation Characteristic of Ultraviolet Light and Air Temperature at A Tropical Location in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria
Authors: A Usman , J.A Sunday , K.O Olaore
Published: January 2023

In this study, characteristic variation of ultraviolent light and air temperature were observed, this research work critically analyses some specific days with field data at an experimental site near the Physics/Electronics Unit Laboratory Ilorin, Nigeria between ultraviolet light and air temperature. For the field observations, an instrumented Meteorological Weather Smart System was set up at an experimental site near the Physics/Electronics Unit Laboratory Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin for a period of two weeks (18th March-1st April, 2019). The ultraviolet light and air temperature measurement from the Weather Smart System were recorded every 10 seconds and averaged over 2 minutes interval. The sampled data was then stored in the datalogger storage module. After the removal of spurious measurement values, the data stored was further reduced to hourly averages using the Microcal Origin (version 7.0) data analysis software. The results showed that the measured ultraviolent light, UV during the daytime increases until 1200 hrs with maximum value of about 450 Wm-2 and minimum value of about 9 Wm-2 at 800 hrs (DOY 85). The measured air temperature, Ta value of 32.6 0C observed at 1200 hrs (DOY 85), represented the maximum value for the entire period of the study. The value of 193 Wm-2 was observed at1100 hrs (DOY 81), represented the minimum value for the entire period of the study due to the cloudy condition of the sky which reduces the amount of incoming solar radiation reaching the earth surface.
The transition to the academic environment: between difficulties and coping strategies
Authors:   Petroleum Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania, Safta Cristina Georgiana , Suditu Mihaela ,   Petroleum Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania
Published: January 2023

After numerous reforms or attempts at reform, after much publicized efforts for change in education, Miroiu (1998) considers that Romanian education still operates according to an intellectualist model, according to which the most valuable mental faculty in education is the rational one. Faced with problems of school maladjustment, school failure or even school dropout that ruled out the involvement of cognitive factors, schools began to consider the possibility that these issues may be the consequence of subjective factors related to motivation, emotional balance or the ability to cope. In this context, there is the question of cultivating such skills in students that, on the one hand, reduce the likelihood of maladaptive behaviour and, on the other, help shape a balanced, creative and autonomous personality. Our study is based on the desire to investigate the possible relationship between the level of students’ adaptation to the academic environment and their academic performance record. We used the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ), an instrument created to measure the level of adaptation of students to the university environment. The general scores obtained by the students from the 1st year and from the 3rd year are analysed in a comparative way.
Understanding of ESL teachers’ assessment procedures: a contextual study of Saudi Arabia
Authors:   Northern Border University, Arar, Saudi Arabia, Singh Amrendra Kumar
Published: January 2023

A total of 32 questions were used to probe the attitudes of 95 Arab, 98 Natives English teachers, and of Asian (South Asian) origin ESL/EFL educators toward the assessment and evaluation of their students. The results showed more agreement than disagreement between the instructors in the three settings, although the teachers' views were inconsistent throughout the three situations. While there was a positive correlation between instructors' stated goals for using assessment and evaluation and their actual implementation of these tools, there was no such correlation between instructors' perceptions of assessment and evaluation's value in the classroom and their students' learning gains. Teachers' perceptions of the time they spent on assessment, their knowledge of and preparation for assessment, and their actual assessment practises were only moderately connected.
Children's theatre - diachronic analysis of curricular documents for preschool level, in Romania
Authors:   “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University, Iași, Romania, Hobjilă Angelica
Published: January 2023

Theatre, in all its forms, although very well represented in kindergarten activities, does not have a constant presence in the curricular documents to which they referred, throughout time, teachers for preschool education in Romania. In this context, a diachronic analysis of curricular documents (from the Program of instructive-educational activity in kindergarten, 1963, to the Curriculum for early education, 2019) can be a point of support for teachers (especially beginners) who understand and want to capitalize on the benefits of theatre in activities with preschoolers. In this sense, both the finalities / competencies provided in the mentioned curricular documents will be analysed, and, especially, the contents (where they are listed) and the behaviours, examples of activities offered by these official papers.

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Wildfire behaviour depends on complex interactions between fuels, topography and weather, over a wide range of scales, being important for fire research and management applications. To allow for a significant progress towards better fire management, the operational and research communities require detailed open data on observed wildfire behaviour. Here, we present the Portuguese Large Wildfire Spread Database (PT-FireSprd) that includes the reconstruction of the spread of 80 large wildfires that occurred in Portugal between 2015 and 2021. It includes a detailed set of fire behaviour descriptors, such as rate-of-spread (ROS), fire growth rate (FGR), and fire radiative energy (FRE). The wildfires were reconstructed by converging evidence from complementary data sources, such as satellite imagery/products, airborne and ground data collected by fire personnel, official fire data and information in external reports. We then implemented a digraph-based algorithm to estimate the fire behaviour descriptors and combined it with MSG-SEVIRI fire radiative power estimates. A total of 1197 observations of ROS and FGR were estimated along with 609 FRE estimates. The extreme fires of 2017 were responsible for the maximum observed values of ROS (8956 m/h) and FGR (4436 ha/h). Combining both descriptors, we defined 6 fire behaviour classes that can be easily communicated to both research and management communities and support a wide number of applications. Analysis also showed that the area burned by a wildfire is mostly determined by its FGR rather than by its forward speed. Finally, we explored a practical example to show the PT-FireSprd database can be used to study the dynamics of individual wildfires and build robust case studies for training and capacity building. The PT-FireSprd is the first open access fire progression and behaviour database in Mediterranean Europe, dramatically expanding the extant information. Updating the PT-FireSprd database will require a continuous joint effort by researchers and fire personnel. Updating the PT-FireSprd database will require a continuous joint effort by researchers and fire personnel. PT-FireSprd data are publicly available through https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7495506 (last access: 30th December 2022) and have a large potential to improve current knowledge on wildfire behaviour and support better decision-making (Benali et al. 2022).
Easy Prediction of the Maximal Lactate Steady-State in Young and Older Men and Women
Authors: Pogliaghi Silvia , Teso Massimo , Ferrari Luca , Boone Jan , Murias Juan M. , Colosio Alessandro L.
Published: January 2023

Maximal Lactate steady-state (MLSS) demarcates sustainable from unsustainable exercise and is used for evaluation/monitoring of exercise capacity. Still, its determination is physically challenging and time-consuming. This investigation aimed at validating a simple, submaximal approach based on blood lactate accumulation ([Δlactate]) at the third minute of cycling in a large cohort of men and women of different ages. 68 healthy adults (40♂, 28♀, 43 ± 17 years (range 19-78), VO2max 45 ± 11 ml-1·kg-1·min-1 (25-68)) performed 3-5 constant power output (PO) trials with a target duration of 30 minutes to determine the PO corresponding to MLSS. During each trial, [Δlactate] was calculated as the difference between the third minute and baseline. A multiple linear regression was computed to estimate MLSS based on [Δlactate], subjects` gender, age and the trial PO. The estimated MLSS was compared to the measured value by paired t-test, correlation, and Bland-Altman analysis. The group mean value of estimated MLSS was 180 ± 51 W, not significantly different from (p = 0.98) and highly correlated with (R2 = 0.89) measured MLSS (180 ± 54 watts). The bias between values was 0.17 watts, and imprecision 18.2 watts. This simple, submaximal, time- and cost-efficient test accurately and precisely predicts MLSS across different samples of healthy individuals (adjusted R2 = 0.88) and offers a practical and valid alternative to the traditional MLSS determination.

Mesozoic sections of biostratigraphic and plalaeontological importance in the Stara Planina Mountains
Authors: Mitrovič-Petrovič Jovanka , Radulović Vladan
Published: January 2023

The Stara Planina Mountains includes sedimentary rocks of different age, beginning with the Proterozoic and ending with the Plio-Quaternary. Most widespread are Mesozoic rock which are highly fossiliferous. The abundant fossil fauna was used in identifying the presence of all Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous stages. Most instructive sections with the three systems are presented, which in our opinion should be protected. Noteworthy is the traceable continuous transition from one stage to another within a relatively small area.

Бурхард Кристоф Миних являлся одним из символов эпохи дворцовых переворотов. Будучи приглашённым в петровскую эпоху, он смог достичь стремительного карьерного роста и на короткое время стать одним из центральных деятелей в России вплоть до воцарения императрицы Елизаветы Петровны. В контексте изучения его деятельности одной из задач данной работы было выявление причин приглашения иностранцев в российскую армию. Отдельного внимания заслуживает изучение достижений Миниха на поле боя и в инженерном деле. В статье была дана характеристика оценки отечественных историков вклада фельдмаршала немецкого происхождения в развитие государственного управления и армии. В контексте изучения деятельности Миниха проанализирован образ Э.И. Бирона и причины его конкуренции с Б.К. Минихом как во время правления, так и после смерти Анны Иоанновны. Немаловажной темой также является приход к власти Елизаветы Петровны, лишившей иноземных деятелей власти, и последствия её воцарения как для Б.К. Миниха, так и для его конкурентов.
Левый популизм и политическое наследие еврокоммунизма
Authors: Каторжевский Павел Николаевич
Published: January 2023

Современные «левопопулистские» партии и движения зачастую рассматриваются как принципиально новое явление, возникшее как реакция на неолиберальные реформы последних десятилетий. В то же время, партии этого спектра воспроизводят дискурсивные практики и политическую тактику своих идеологических прародителей – коммунистических партий Италии, Франции и Испании, стоявших у истоков еврокоммунизма. В статье предпринята попытка проанализировать ключевые программные установки современных «левопопулистских» партий, а также рассмотреть влияние еврокоммунистического этапа идеологической эволюции левого движения на их актуальную политическую стратегию. На основе программных документов еврокоммунистических партий ХХ в. и политических деклараций современных «радикальных» левых проведён сравнительный анализ дискурсивных стратегий европейского левого движения на разных фазах его развития. В контексте рассмотрения генезиса популизма также произведена дифференциация «левой» и «правой» интерпретаций популистской политики.

Published: January 2023

Over the years, flooding has affected numerous aspects of the lives of the people in Karim-Lamido Local Government Area. The study aimed at assessing the effects of flood on socio-economic activities in Karim-Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba State using GIS techniques. The study employed questionnaires, oral interviews, personal observations and descriptive statistics to analyse data using pie charts and graphs to present data. ArcGIS 10.1 was used to analyse the flood vulnerability using LandSat images. The flood vulnerability analysis of Karim-Lamido indicates that about 80% of the area is flood vulnerable and the major stream order in Karim-Lamido is between 3-5. Results also revealed that rainfall received annually in the area and the proneness of the area to flood. In addition, loss of agricultural products, properties and lives were revealed as some of the negative effects of flooding in the study area. The result also revealed that the major effects of flood are the washing away of the community’s farms lands and their businesses equipment. Furthermore, the researchers recommend that the resettlement scheme programs should be embarked on by the government to resettle most of the communities in the study area. Additionally, for good area planning, individuals, corporate entities, and the government should provide adequate funding for disaster management organisations. Furthermore, a local flood warning system needs to be created. This will go a long way towards educating and preparing the people of Karim-Lamido for major flooding.
Kauza nechceného vojenského biskupa Bomberu v korešpondencii medzi Svätou stolicou a Apoštolskou nunciatúrou v Prahe

Published: January 2023

The presented study attempts a more detailed description of the reasons behind the dismissal of the field superior and military general vicar, Msgr. Josef Bombera. This church prelate fell out of favor after he visited Rome during the Hus celebrations in 1925 and paid his respects to the then Pope. In the historical context of its time, this act was considered by the government of Czechoslovakia as a betrayal of national ideas. From that moment on, the government tried to eliminate him. After reaching the service age, he was sent to pension, but from the point of view of the church, it was necessary to secure a proper place for bishop Bombera. After considering more or less suitable alternatives to Bombera was offered the post of provost of the canonry in Stara Boleslav. However, even against this appointment, the then government protested. However, the Holy See did not intend to be restricted by the Czechoslovak government. The looming deadlock was paradoxically ended by the sudden death of bishop Bombera.

Published: January 2023

This paper aims at presenting an algorithm for solving the blocking flow shop problem with sequence dependent setup times (BFSP-SDST) with minimization of the makespan. In order to do so, we propose an adapted Bounded Dynamic Programming (BDP-SN) algorithm as solution method, since the problem itself does not present a significant number of sources in the state-of-art references and also because Dynamic Programming and its variants have been resurfacing in the flowshop literature. Therefore, we apply the modified method to two sets of problems and compare the results computationally and statistically for instances with a MILP and a B&B method for at most 20 jobs and 20 machines. The results show that BDP-SN is promising and outperforms both MILP and B&B within the established time limit. In addition, some suggestions are made in order to improve the method and employ it in parallel research regarding other branches of machine scheduling.

This bibliographical review allows us to know clearly and concisely the use and effectiveness of photocatalytic concrete applied to tracks or roads, and in buildings. This study analyzes sustainable concrete based on photocatalytic to reduce the environmental impact in large-scale works through the application for the collection and review of articles published in the scientific base of Scopus using the VOSviewer software tool that analyzes a large amount of data from a group of investigations, this research is carried out from the publications of the year 2000 to the year 2022. Graphs were obtained from the database analysis with the words “Concrete”, “Photocatalytic”, “Environmental” and “Work” with the highest interest in all analysis groups. The results obtained allow us to understand the innovation of concrete based on photocatalytic in order to reduce air pollution since this need is current throughout the world, more so in globalized and rapidly growing countries, the analysis in Peru is not found no research related to the subject and there are no large-scale works related to reducing air pollution, but there are proposals to improve air quality in Lima, the capital of Peru, however this contribution is minimal to be able to positively impact the air . The manufacturing process and the materials to implement for the manufacture of concrete based on the photocatalytic were also analyzed, visualizing the advantages and disadvantages of this concrete based on the photocatalytic, adding other additional components to improve the durability of the concrete application and being viable. to apply to large-scale works. This research has the purpose of presenting a general view of the application, manufacture, advantages and disadvantages of concrete based on photocatalytic, it is important to develop and apply it in large-scale works subsidized by the Peruvian state, since these can generate a positive impact on society and the environment.

In this article we deﬁne matrix maps between complex uncertain sequences. We introduce the notion of bounded sequences of complex uncertain sequence for almost sure, mean, measure and distribution. We introduce the limitation method for different notion of boundedness of sequence of complex uncertain variables and establish relation between the different notions. The necessary condition for a matrix map to be a limitation method is established.

"Let $D=(V,A)$ be a finite simple digraph. A signed double Roman dominating function (SDRD-function) on the digraph $D$ is a function $f:V(D)\rightarrow\{-1,1,2, 3\}$ satisfying the following conditions: (i) $\sum_{x\in N^-[v]}f(x)\ge 1$ for each $v\in V(D)$, where $N^-[v]$ consist of $v$ and all in-neighbors of $v$, and (ii) if $f(v)=-1$, then the vertex $v$ must have at least two in-neighbors assigned 2 under $f$ or one in-neighbor assigned 3, while if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must have at least one in-neighbor assigned 2 or 3. The weight of a SDRD-function $f$ is the value $\sum_{x\in V(D)}f(x)$. The signed double Roman domination number (SDRD-number) $\gamma_{sdR}(D)$ of a digraph $D$ is the minimum weight of a SDRD-function on $D$. In this paper we study the SDRD-number of digraphs, and we present lower and upper bounds for $\gamma_{sdR}(D)$ in terms of the order, maximum degree and chromatic number of a digraph. In addition, we determine the SDRD-number of some classes of digraphs."

The aim of this paper is to study po-ternary semihypergroups in terms of the int-soft bi-hyperideals. We introduce the notion of int-soft bi-hyperideals in po-ternary semihypergroups and some properties of them are investigated. Characterizations of bi-hyperideals in terms of int-soft bi-hyperideals are obtained. We prove that every int-soft hyperideal is an int-soft bi-hyperideal but the converse is not true. Examples are provided to illustrate the results.

Consider a robot which is investigating in a space exhibited by a graph (network), and which needs to know its current location. It can grant a sign to find how far it is from each among a lot of fixed places of interest (tourist spots or landmarks). We study the problem of calculating the minimum number of tourist spots required, and where they ought to be set, with the ultimate objective that the robot can generally decide its location. The set of nodes where the places of interest are placed is known as the metric basis of the graph, and the cardinality of tourist spots is known as the location number (or metric dimension) of the graph. Another graph invariant related to resolving set (say $\mathfrak{L}$) is the fault-tolerant resolving set $\mathfrak{L}^{\ast}$, in which the expulsion of a discretionary vertex from $\mathfrak{L}$ keeps up the resolvability. The problem of characterizing the classes of plane graphs with a bounded fault-tolerant metric dimension is of great interest nowadays. In this article, we obtain the fault-tolerant metric dimension of three interminable classes of symmetrical plane graphs, that are found to be constant for each of these three families of the plane graphs. We set lower and upper bounds for the fault-tolerant metric dimension of these three classes of the plane graphs.
