Love as a “Cruel Muse”: The Role of Aestheticism of O. Wilde in the Gender Perspective of the Poem by V. Mayakovsky About That
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kupchenko Tatiana A.
Published: January 2024

The article considers the phenomenon of love and relations between the sexes in the work of V. Mayakovsky through the prism of the complex of Wilde’s motives in the poem About That. Life and works of O. Wilde, perceived in the light of the ideas of suffering and total aestheticism, were in this period close to Mayakovsky’s life-creating myth. The poet imposes the Wilde’s “filter” on his own life situation, using it to translate the facts of reality into literature. The motives of the letter-diary of Mayakovsky written in the period of creating the poem About That and a letter by O. Wilde to A. Douglas De Profundis, written during the poet’s imprisonment in Reading Gaol, are compared. The article contains the analysis of Wilde’s ideology of aestheticism and Mayakovsky’s provocative manner of behavior in the period of early futurism. It is shown that the search for the foundations for building more perfect relationship between the sexes is related in both writers to the reflection of the masculine and the feminine in a person. Sensitivity expressed through “non-canonical” for men emotions of softness, tenderness (“a cloud in trousers”), indecision, is recognized as associated with the manifestation of the feminine in a male. The “feminine” part of the soul helps men in the interactions with the Creator, but also puts them in conflict with society (see motives of prison, court, death). For both Mayakovsky and Wilde, suffering as the other side of love and its aesthetics introduce the motive of cruelty of the beloved (manifestation of masculine nature). The connection of Suffering and Beauty justifies cruelty (About That, The Ballad of Reading Gaol, the letter-diary). Beauty as the highest manifestation of the idea of Love allows Mayakovsky to place the beloved in Paradise, and Wilde to write a ballad accepting the deadly power of love.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between fathers' training method, children's psychological well-being, and peer play behavior, and to find out how fathers' training method affect children's psychological well-being and peer play behavior. To achieve these objectives, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and stepwise regression analysis were conducted using questionnaire data from 302 fathers of children aged 5-7 years old in daycare centers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, and the results of the study were as follows. First, the relationship between fathers' training method, children's psychological well-being, and peer play behavior showed that fathers' coercive corporal punishment and neglectful training method were significantly and negatively related to children's psychological well-being and peer play behavior, and fathers' logical explanation training method were positively related to children's psychological well-being and peer play behavior. Second, when analyzing the effects of fathers' training method on children's psychological well-being and peer play behavior, it was predicted that fathers' coercive corporal punishment and neglectful training method had significant negative effects on children's psychological well-being, while logical explanation training method had significant positive effects on children's psychological well-being. Among fathers' training method, neglectful training method was predicted to have a significant negative effect on children's peer play behavior, and logical explanation training method was predicted to have a significant positive effect on children's peer play behavior. We hope that the results of this study will be used as an important guide for fathers' training method in order to promote positive effects on their children, who are the protagonists of the future due to the increasing participation of fathers in parenting at home and in society.

Authors: Kakudate N , Yokoyama Y , Tagliaferro EPS , Sumida F , Matsumoto Y , Gordan VV , Gilbert GH
Published: January 2024

Objectives

This study was designed to: 1) evaluate and compare the evidence-practice gap (EPG) in minimal intervention dentistry (MID) in Japan and Brazil by measuring concordance between dentists’ clinical practice and published evidence; and 2) identify dentists’ factors associated with the EPG in both countries.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional study using a web-delivered questionnaire among 136 Japanese and 110 Brazilian dentists. The questionnaire consisted of three questions concerning “restoration diagnosis and treatment,” “deep caries diagnosis and treatment,” and “caries risk assessment” regarding MID. A chi-square test was used to analyze differences in concordance among clinical practice and evidence from the literature between Japanese and Brazilian dentists. Logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze dentists’ factors associated with overall concordance for all three questions.

Results

Overall concordance was significantly higher in Brazil (55%) than in Japan (38%) (p<0.01). Concerning how evidence was obtained, textbooks, nonacademic journals, and seminars and workshops were used as information sources more frequently by Japanese than Brazilian dentists (p<0.001), whereas scientific journal articles in English were used more frequently by Brazilian dentists (p<0.001). On logistic regression analysis, overall concordance was higher for Japanese dentists who frequently obtained evidence from scientific journal articles in English (p<0.05), whereas Brazilian dentists who frequently obtained evidence from the Internet were associated with lower overall concordance (p<0.05).

Conclusions

Because overall concordance was significantly higher in Brazil than in Japan, Japan may have a greater EPG in MID practice. Specific characteristics of Japanese and Brazilian dentists showed significant associations with overall concordance.

Este articulo trata sobre la neumonía atípica, misma que se define como una infección baja del tracto respiratorio, causada por entidades atípicas como son el mycoplasma pneumoniae, virus u hongos, es poco común y tiende a tener un curso patológico subagudo con síntomas más leves que la neumonía típica como tal, la neumonía atípica en su mayoría de casos es adquirida en la comunidad y puede manifestarse como cuadros leves y evolucionar a cuadros moderados, además sus signos y síntomas pueden ser muy variados, su inicio tiende a ser gradual y puede acompañarse de cuadros de cefalea, tos seca, malestar general, cuadros de febrícula. La tos seca es por lo general uno de los motivos de consulta más comunes, acompañado en ocasiones con cuadros de disnea, no existe un signo patognomónico de la enfermedad, incluso al momento de auscultar el pulmón este puede ser normal, por lo tanto, la neumonía atípica puede ser incluso asintomática, y una radiografía de tórax es por lo general la mejor forma de diagnosticar dicha patología, observando un cuadro de vidrio esmerilado, u opacidades reticulares, nodulares o en parches. Sin embargo, la neumonía varía en gravedad desde leve y sin complicaciones, como suele ser el caso de las infecciones atípicas, hasta fulminante y potencialmente mortal, que ocurren con más frecuencia cuando los entes son patógenos adquiridos en entidades hospitalarias.

Este articulo pretende resumir y diferenciar adecuadamente las ulceras vasculares siendo estas, de origen venoso en un 80 a 90% de los casos, como de origen arterial estando estas presentes únicamente en el 10 a 20% de los casos reportados, Se podrían definir como lesiones con pérdida de sustancia que asientan sobre una piel dañada por una dermatitis secundaria a una hipertensión venosa, la cual constituye la complicación principal de la insuficiencia venosa crónica. También se las conoce como úlceras de estasis. La trascendencia de la situación de integridad o no del sistema valvular en las venas profundas y la importancia de la bomba muscular gemelar en la etiología de la estasis venosa es aceptada en general. Los factores etiopatogénicos básicos de la dermatitis de estasis serían la dilatación de los capilares sanguíneos, la fijación pericapilar de fibrina y los trastornos linfáticos. Son las úlceras venosas las lesiones vasculares más frecuentes, más o menos un 80% del total, por tanto, son las que tanto médicos como enfermeras se enfrentan con mayor frecuencia, sobre todo a nivel ambulatorio o domiciliario. Una vez que se desencadenan tienden, como todas las úlceras crónicas, a tener una evolución insidiosa, con dificultad para cicatrizar, gran afectación de la piel circundante y frecuentes recidivas. La edad es un factor de riesgo a considerar, las varices aparecen con una frecuencia cuatro veces mayor y la IVC es siete veces más frecuente a los 60 años, sin embargo, en pacientes con enfermedades vasculares no tratadas pueden presentarse en cualquier momento. Mientras que las ulceras arteriales son lesiones que aparecen como consecuencia de un déficit de riego sanguíneo y procesos isquémicos crónicos, siendo la obstrucción arteriosclerótica la causa más importante de los procesos obstructivos arteriales.

El embarazo no planificado en adolescentes es un importante problema de salud pública que afecta a muchos países en todo el mundo. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo identificar las causas del embarazo no planificado en adolescentes y cómo influyen los factores sociodemográficos en esta población. Se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva de la literatura disponible sobre el tema y se analizaron los datos para identificar las tendencias y patrones en la prevalencia y causas del embarazo no planificado en adolescentes. Se encontró que la falta de educación sexual, el insuficiente acceso a los anticonceptivos, el escaso de apoyo familiar, la presión de grupo y los factores socioeconómicos son algunas de las causas del embarazo no planificado en adolescentes que destacaron por ser las más comunes. Además, se encontró que los factores sociodemográficos, como el nivel socioeconómico y el nivel educativo, pueden influir en la prevalencia del embarazo no planificado en adolescentes. Se concluye que la educación sexual y el acceso a anticonceptivos son medidas para prevenir el embarazo no planificado en adolescentes. También se debe trabajar para abordar los factores sociodemográficos subyacentes que pueden influir en la prevalencia del embarazo no planificado en adolescentes, incluidos los niveles socioeconómicos y educativos. Se necesitan programas de educación sexual y anticoncepción más efectivos y accesibles para abordar este problema de salud pública.

Authors: Moses Adeleke Adeoye
Published: January 2024

Teachers’ characteristics such as educational level, age, gender, educational experience and digiyal literacy for educational purposes can influence the adoption of an innovation in teaching. This study aimed at analyzing the impact of gender differences on teachers' digital literacy skills in the teaching of STEAM in secondary schools. This study was descriptive research which adopted a Survey type. Four research questions were raised. The population for this research comprised science teachers in Kaduna State secondary schools. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 150 senior science teachers across the three local governments. The questionnaire was designed to elicit information from the senior secondary school teachers on the impact of gender differences on teachers' digital literacy skills in teaching STEAM. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics tools which include pie charts and bar chat. The findings of the study showed that the number of male secondary school teachers was higher than their female counterparts involved in the teaching of STEAM in senior secondary schools. A significant difference exists in the number of male teachers that possess laptop devices compared to their female counterpart. A higher percentage of male teachers possess more digital skills than their female counterpart, lack of school support, limited time and lack of internet access are the major factors affecting the use of digital skills in teaching STEAM. This study recommends that schools should provide the needed facilities required in teaching STEAM based on global best practices.

Examining Foreign Development Assistance in Africa through Emerging Power Dynamics: A Focus on Turkey’s Engagement in the Horn of Africa
Authors: Rugutt Winnie , Nzomo Maria , Okoth Pontian G.
Published: January 2024

In the last two and a half decades of the 21st century, a modern-day “scramble” for Africa, led by traditional Western powers, has taken shape. This coincides with Africa’s expanding external relations, notably with non-traditional powers like Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS). The emerging powers share an objective of advancing their interests in Africa, particularly through exploiting its strategic resources. Turkey has also joined this narrative, yet existing scholarly literature focuses disproportionately on the BRICS, sidelining other players like Turkey. This article addresses this gap by comprehensively investigating Turkey’s distinctive role and its ramifications in Africa. It specifically probes Turkey’s contributions to development in the Horn of Africa, encompassing diverse forms of aid and investments. Turkey strategically wields soft power tools, including humanitarian aid, loans, grants, and technical expertise, to bolster its political and economic sway, thus fostering trade and investment prospects across the Horn of Africa. This engagement has been warmly received, particularly in nations like Somalia and Ethiopia, which have long sought constructive developmental partnerships. This development assistance, however needs to be taken with caution and accompanied by a clear strategy on the mode of response by the Horn of Africa countries in regards to self-guarding themselves from being sucked into a deeper dependence relationship where power is heavily weighted in favor of global powers. This necessitates a clear roadmap to prevent unwarranted dependency on external forces and to preserve a balanced power dynamic. In essence, this study underscores the importance of equitable engagement for sustainable growth and self-determination in the continent.

Published: January 2024

This study examined small-scale chicken farmers’ perceptions of using social media to access market information in Arusha City, Tanzania. Data were collected between June and August 2022 from 260 respondents comprising 130 beneficiaries and 130 non-beneficiaries, who were randomly selected. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using a questionnaire and a key informant interview guide. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, and the ordinal logistic regression model. On the other hand, qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis approaches. Firstly, data were transcribed from audio and translated from Kiswahili to English, and then extracts were presented as quotations. The study found that SSCFs, both Kuku Uchumi and non-Kuku Uchumi beneficiaries who use WhatsApp, had positive perceptions towards using social media to access market information. Conversely, SSCFs who do not use Facebook and Instagram to access market information had negative perceptions towards using these social media platforms. In addition, it was revealed that both Kuku Uchumi and non-Kuku Uchumi beneficiaries (beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries) had a positive perception of using social media to access market information. The study concludes that SSCFs had positive perceptions towards using social media to access market information. It is recommended that extension agents should be encouraged to use social media platforms to provide information on chicken production. Further, other SSCFs, especially those whose perceptions toward using social media to access market information are negative (as they consider social media platforms as dumping places), should be capacitated to use social media to access market information.

Published: January 2024

Lenggong Valley is famously known as an archaeological site due to UNESCO's World Heritage Site verification. Following this, the aspiration towards Global Geopark recognition comprising Lenggong's distinctive cultural heritage was initiated. Malay traditional house is one of the attributes of cultural heritage. It presents a character that symbolises uniqueness reflected in the states where they were built and the relation between historical events. This study aims to explore the distribution tabulation and landscape characters of Malay traditional houses in Lenggong Valley, Perak, Malaysia. The methodology includes site observation and evaluation, with the spatial location of the houses recorded using GPS. The collected samples of hundred eight (108)traditional houses were analysed using Kernel Density Analysis. Results showed that the tabulation of Lenggong traditional houses is concentrated approximately to caves and the Perak River concurrence with the historical evidence of Paleolithic human settlementand the Malay sultanate era. Two (2) significant types of traditional houses found are Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak (RLBP) with 79% and Rumah Kutai (RK) with 14%. Most of the houses are still preserved with vernacular architecture and semi-vernacular which points to their significant identity. The landscape of the traditional houses also points to the unique characters supported by the geographical setting of Lenggong as a valley. These findings support the aspiration of a Geo-Park in Lenggong in the context of the cultural heritage landscape and provide substantial information to authorities regarding conservation and preservation of Lenggong as a heritage cultural site in a broader sense. Future study is encouraged to provide a detailed assessment of the houses' condition towards heritage preservation and conservation efforts.

Published: January 2024

Mangrove ecosystems support a wide range of terrestrial and marine organisms by offering sustenance, reproductive habitats, and nurturing environments. The Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve (MMFR), spanning over 40,000 ha, poses challenges in effectively managing and evaluating the entire area. Hence, remote sensing techniques are employed to effectively monitor and map the temporal fluctuations of land use and land cover occurring within mangrove forest areas. In this study, dynamics over nine (9) years (2011to 2020) of the mangrove ecosystem were evaluated using RapidEye 2011 and Landsat 8 (OLI) 2020 satellite imageries. Change detection was implemented using pixel-by-pixel modelling analysis. The present study revealed the conversion of mangrove area to waterbody at 4625.1 ha (16.7%), dryland forest at 1886.1 ha (6.8%), and oil palm plantations at 186.9 ha (0.7%). The area conversion was attributed to erosion, logging operations, the establishment of aquaculture facilities, and agricultural practices. Hence,the acquisition of data pertaining to the present condition of mangrove forest species, as well as the temporal fluctuations in the study area, holds significant importance for all stakeholders involved in the preservation of this ecosystem.

Authors: Kamarul Zafik Nur Nazihah , Ramele Ramli Rohaslinda , Anuar Ahmad Nazrin Aris
Published: January 2024

Over the past several decades, the tourism industry centered on cultural sites has evolved into one of the most active and rapidly increasing economic sectors across the globe. This is especially true in countries that are home to a large number of heritage monuments. According to reports provided by the Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, the cultural tourism industry contributed 551 million Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) to the country's economy over the course of the preceding three (3) years prior to the COVID-19 epidemic. In addition, more than seventeen (17) million individuals participated in cultural tourism events during that period. However, ever since the COVID-19 pandemic happened, the tourism heritage business in Malaysia has undergone a big economic collapse economically. As a result, the earnings of a great number of individuals have suffered as a result of this. This article presents a brief investigation of how the COVID-19 outbreak has impacted Malaysia's heritage tourism industry by doing a thorough evaluation of existing studies and statistics from the local government and offering an analysis of the findings. According to the findings of this study, the revenue generated by the heritage tourism industry in Malaysia dropped by an amount equivalent to 50% in the year 2020 compared to the previous year. In addition, there was a decline of more than one hundred thousand (100,000) jobs in sectors of the economy that are directly connected to tourism. It is common knowledge that the COVID-19 outbreak has caused enormous losses for the economy of the country; despite this, the findings of this study shed light on the extent to which these losses damage the economic viability of the heritage tourism sector.

Authors: Peng Au-Yong Cheong , Kei Hoh Pui , Amos Daniel
Published: January 2024

Lack of maintenance could result in complaints from guests which could affect overall satisfaction and reputation of the hotel. Unfortunately, this issue remains where the majority of the complaints are from the tangible factor with guests complaining about hotel amenities. Therefore, this paper aims to propose effective maintenance practices for hotels to improve the satisfaction level of guests. Eight (8) factors that affect maintenance practice were identified through an extensive literature review. The study gathered survey data via thirty-three(33)questionnaires that were distributed to hotels ranging from three (3) to five(5) star hotels in Klang Valley and Ipoh and involved three (3) face-to-face interviews. Correlation analysis was performed to assess the relationship between maintenance factors and the satisfaction level of guests. The results revealed that three(3)factors were significantly correlated with the overall guests’ satisfaction. The perception of interviewees regarding the factors affecting maintenance practice further validates the survey findings. This paper implies the importance of maintenance operations to improve guests’ satisfaction as well as identifying factors that lead to positive bias toward effective hotel maintenance management.

Published: January 2024

The profound impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects people's health, work, lives, and how people learn. The switch from the current physical learning to a new system poses several challenges. This research focuses on identifying the challenges faced by the students in adapting to an online learning mode and how these challenges impacted the completion of their dissertations. An initial list of the challenges faced by students in completing the dissertation was identified from the literature review. This list was followed by developing a questionnaire survey distributed to thirty-seven (37) Quantity Surveying students who registered for the dissertation subject in semester two (2), session 2020/2021. The data obtained were analysed descriptively. Results show that the primary concern is not about having a suitable device to be used during the learning process but more on the other factors such as the inability to access the right software for data analysis, difficulty in collecting the data due to the movement restriction, a quiet place to study, stable internet connection, difficulty to stay focused and motivated to do the research, time management, stress and did not know where to go for help. The implications of the findings imply that the university should take necessary action based on the identified challenges in reducing the effects on the students.

Based on a methodological framework structured on quantitative and qualitative analysis methods pursuing a systematic literature review and literature collection design, following the steps proposed by Pickering and Byrne (2014), this study is focused on the analysis of imagined futures of higher education in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Our study aims to answer the following research questions: (1) What is the imagined future of higher education in the age of artificial intelligence? (2) What are the factors influencing the connection between higher education teaching process and artificial intelligence? (3)What are the effects of students and teachers improving databases and developing ChatGPT? The authors explore the impact of AI in the context of current governance arrangements and ethos of universities in the Western world. The in-depth analysis is aligned with some identified major challenges, opportunities and risks associated with the emergence of artificial intelligence systems, such as technological surveillance or the general access to AI and Large language Models such as ChatGPT in academia and constructs the argument for an informed selection and use of artificial intelligence solutions for learning and teaching in higher education. The analytical framework adopted for this research study is also used to summarise new directions for research in this field to restore the agency of universities, for quality enhancement of higher learning for students, academics and the common good.

Authors: Falah Nabilah
Published: January 2024

Women are often burdened with carrying out family functions, especially for long-distance partners. This is due to the gender bias that grows in society and places women with feminine characteristics in the domestic sector, while men with masculine characteristics are placed in the public sector. This article tries to explain the role of the wife in carrying out family functions for long-distance family couples, especially for informants in the city of Purwokerto. This type of research is field research using a gender approach to determine the existence of gender bias that occurs in the distribution of family function roles. Primary data obtained from interviews was then analyzed qualitatively. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the role of husband and wife in carrying out family functions in long-distance couples in Purwokerto is mostly carried out by women as wives, which causes women to experience multiple burdens. This is due to the patriarchal culture and government policies which seem to place women in a domistic position and are responsible for everything that happens in their household.

Research on richness and bird species diversity are important for conservation efforts in National Park. Currently, the Aketajawe Lolobata National Park (ALNP) is a habitat patch among industrial areas on Halmahera Island, so that it is important to carry out periodic bird inventories in the national park. Therefore, the need to study the current bird diversity and the status of bird species as a basis for future monitoring and implementation of appropriate conservation measures are important. Bird diversity research needs to be carried out because. Observation plots are placed at primary and secondary forest in Akejawi resort. The research was conducted on January to February 2022. Total observation point is 20 plots. The method was used by point count. The distance between the observation plot is 200 m and the radius of observation is 50 m. The observation were made in the morning (06.00-09.00 am). Repetition of observation on each habitat was carried out 10 times. Data were analyzed by using Shannon-Wiener Index Diversity. Based on findings, There were 345 individuals of 39 species from 19 families inhabited Akejawi Resort. Secondary forest had the highest diversity index when compared to primary forest. This study revealed  that there were 9 birds originated from North Maluku and there were 15 species categorized as protected species. The latest data can provide opportunities for further research to reveal patterns of bird distribution and various protection measures due to the loss of forest areas around national parks.

The West Java black langur (Trachypithecus mauritius) is an Indonesian endemic primate found on the island of Java. Status and Conservation of the species is classified as Vulnerable based on the IUCN Red List and is listed in Appendix 2 of CITES. The West Javan langurs have been protected by Indonesian law since 1999. Under the decree of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number. P.106/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/12/2018. The study aimed to examine population the population of the species and to determine its home range the forested area of Taman Safari Indonesia Bogor. This research was carried out from January to September 2021. Method The data collection used was a combination of methods concentrated Concentration Count using the observation method directly in the field. Analyze population distribution patterns using Nearest Neighbors, while the population distribution was analyzed using the area of the outermost point of encounter. The results showed that there were two groups of the West Java black langur existed in the area. The first group was around the location of the two houses, the panda palace, and the Jaksa waterfall 32 individuals and the second group was consisted of 15 individuals. Based on the survey, it was estimated that with an population density of T. mauritius in the area was 0.18 individuals/km² while the group density was 0.008 group/km². Group I was known to have a home range area of 17 ha while Group II had larger home range with 25 ha. The West Java black langur in this area were found to inhabit the upper parts of the forest at the altitude of 1000 to 1550 m above sea level. Population distribution patterns classified as clustered in all West Java black langur groups. The distribution of the West Java black langur population in TSI Bogor covers 58% of the total area.

Maleo (Macrocephalon maleo) is one of the endangered bird species in Indonesia. This avifauna species is an endemic bird to Sulawesi Island. It is distributed from the south to the north of Sulawesi, including Gorontalo. Currently, information on suitable habitat models for M. maleo is very limited, while this information is required to support the conservation of M. maleo. This study aimed to model the potential habitat for M. maleo using species distribution modeling (SDM) with vegetation cover variables as predictors. The model was built based on the M. maleo occurrence points. The suitable habitat was then evaluated using area under the curve analysis and the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC). Based on the model, the AUC is valued at 0.729, which is considered reasonable and indicates that the model can be used to depict the potential habitats for the species. In this study, most of the west and east parts of Gorontalo were considered not suitable for Maleo. While the coastal areas of Gorontalo were considered very suitable. This was confirmed for both the north and south coastal areas of Gorontalo. Then it is strongly recommended to conserve and protect most of those coasts to ensure the Maleo conservation.

Grain drying control strategies aim for a rational energy use and a final product with low breakage levels. However, an experimental approach may be prohibitive due to the costs, scale, and theoretical complexity of this operation. The simulation environment is suitable to design equipment’s and plan operations strategies with low cost and high certainty. This work utilized system dynamics modelling to quantify the percentage of product breakage during drying in fluidized bed dryers under recirculation and tempering strategies. A sensitivity analysis of the model’s input parameters including different fractions of recirculation was performed, showing their effects on drying and post-drying product quality. Finally, we present optimizations from different objectives of drying operations. The recirculation strategy worked as an attenuator to the drying rates and combined with tempering strategy reached a minimum breakage level.

The article is dedicated to the medieval sites of the 10th – beginning of the 15th centuries, located on Semenovsky Island in the Spassk district of Tatarstan. These are 5 burial grounds and 4 ancient settlements. Semyonovka I settlement was one of the early settlements of the Volga Bolgars in the Kazan Volga region and founded in the second half of the 10th century. At present, the cultural layer of the ancient settlements on Semenovsky Island is completely eroded by the waters of the Kuibyshev reservoir, as well as the necropolises belonging to them. A significant part of the materials from these sites has been published, except for ceramics. The researchers paid special attention to coins and items, made of non-ferrous metal. The analysis of the finds allowed us to assume that the settlement structure on Semenovsky Island developed without significant interruptions from the second half of the 10th century to the beginning of the 15th century, having undergone several crisis transformations at the end of the 11th – the first half of the 12th and the first third of the 13th centuries, connected in the first case with the invasions of the Kipchaks and in the second case with the Mongol conquest.
