Phoenician Religion in the Homeland: New Insights from Recent Archaeological Discoveries
Authors: Sader Hélène
Published: October 2023

The article argues that there is one Phoenician religion and one Phoenician pantheon in spite of the fact that there was no such thing as a Phoenician “state” or “nation.” It also argues that in the absence of Phoenician religious texts the archaeological evidence can partly fill the gap left by this absence. As a case study for the contribution of archaeological discoveries to the understanding of Phoenician religion, the article presents the cult sites with standing stones that were recently exposed at the site of Tell el-Burak, south of Sidon. This aspect of Phoenician religion is not attested in the contemporary written record and was discovered for the first time at this archaeological site. The article discusses its origin and transmission, and suggests that it may have reached Phoenicia through trade and may have been associated with local industries.
The Phoenician-Punic Sanctuary of Ras il-Wardija (Gozo): A Reassessment of the Cult and Ritual of Astarte in the Light of Recent Discoveries by the Sapienza Archaeological Mission at Gozo–Ras il-Wardija Project (2021–2022)
Authors: Spagnoli Federica
Published: October 2023

The promontory of Ras il-Wardija, on the northwestern cusp of the Island of Gozo, holds one of the most spectacular temples of the ancient Mediterranean dedicated to the Phoenician goddess Astarte. It dates to the fourth century BCE and hosted an important cult of Astarte/Hera/Juno throughout the Roman period (third–second centuries CE). The general plan has been clarified by the excavations of the Italian Mission between 1963 and 1967. In 2021 Sapienza University, thanks to an agreement with Heritage Malta and the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage, resumed research activities at Ras il-Wardija, studying the sanctuary’s cult and rituals through the pottery and small finds unearthed in the 1960s, but following new avenues of research. The discovery of several Punic dedication formulas similar to those found at Tas-Silġ suggests a link between the two cult places, probably stemming from festivities such as the Anagógia and Katagógia mentioned in classical sources.
INVESTIGATING THE INFLUENCE OF DRILLING AND BLASTING PARAMETERS ON THE PROCESS OF FORMATION OF ROCK MASS COLLAPSE
Authors: AHARONYAN G.A.
Published: October 2023

Regulation of the parameters of the exploded rock mass collapse has a significant impact on the efficiency of open-pit mining. Regulation of the parameters of collapse in quarries of non-metallic solid building materials provides a large volume of production. In ore deposits, limiting the width of the collapse allows for more rational extraction of ore from the subsoil and reduces the overburden volume. The existing recommendations for determining the parameters of the collapse do not allow to carry out engineering calculations to obtain the collapse of the specified parame¬t¬e¬r¬s.
Based on the analytical method of research, a technique is proposed to determine the width and height of the collapse of the exploded rock mass, depending on the blockiness of the exploded array and the parameters of drilling and blasting operations (BVR). The proposed method allows, with a change in the parameters of the BVR on the working sites of the quarry, to have a collapse of a given width and height. The comparison of analytical data with the results of industrial explosions is carried out.
ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ПРОЦЕССА ЭКСТРУЗИИ НЕСПЕЧЕННОЙ ТОНКОСТЕННОЙ ТРУБЫ, НАГРУЖЕННОЙ ВНУТРЕННИМ ВЫСОКИМ ДАВЛЕНИЕМ
Authors: Петросян Г.Л. , Бабаян А.А.
Published: October 2023

Для исследования процесса экструзии неспеченной тонкостенной трубы, нагруженной внутренним высоким давлением, сначала использовано уравнение основной поверхности шляпкообразной модели Друкера-Прагера, состоящей из двух участков, ограниченной кривой линией пластической деформации порошкового материала․
Учитывая, что решение задачи на основе условия пластичности (УП) связано с большими трудностями, используется упрощенный вид УП путём замены кривой линии BD на прямую линию BD. Затем задача экструзии неспеченной тонкостенной трубы решается на основе уравнения равновесия трубы в случае отсутствия трения с учетом упрощенного УП, когда объемная пластическая деформация ε_vol^p=0,6․ Предполагается, что действующие на трубу внешнее давление матрицы p_v и внутреннее высокое давление p_r равны․
В программной среде MS EXCEL проведено компьютерное моделирование процесса экструзии неиспеченной тонкостенной трубы, нагруженной внутренним высоким давлением, предварительно задавая различные начальные значения сжимающего меридионального безразмерного напряжения. Определены значения компонентов напряженно-деформированного состояния трубы и уменьшенные значения начальной пористости материала․ Исследования проводились при таком начальном значении меридионального напряжения, при котором оно при выходе из матрицы равняется нулю․
Определение величин приращения пористости неспеченного порошкового материала выполнено на основе методов теории течения спеченных материалов, в частности, в случае экструзии неспеченного материала приращение основной деформации (окружной) осуществляется на основе dε_θ спеченного материала. Показано, что в конце процесса экструзии неспеченного порошкового материала труба полностью уплотнена.

Fantastik sanat; düş gücünün realiteye üstün geldiği bir görsellikle sunulan, sanatçının teknik kabiliyetlerinden ziyade imgeleminden beslenen, yaratıcı yönü kuvvetli ve çoğu zaman gerçeküstü anlayışla harmanlanan özgün bir çerçeveye sahiptir. Fantastik sanat güncel bir yaklaşım olarak algılansa da kökenleri antik çağ mitlerinin spesifik yorumlarına kadar dayanmaktadır. Fantastik sanatın çağdaş temsilcilerinden olan Botero, Latin Amerika halkının gündelik yaşamını ve alışkanlıklarını konu ederken, İspanya’nın kültürel kodlarına da eserlerinde yer vermiştir. Bölgeye has anlayışıyla kurgulanan kolonyal dönem mimarisini de altlık olarak kullanmıştır. Ayrıca klasik eserlere çağdaş bir yorum getiren özgün reprodüksiyon çalışmalarında da mekân kavramına özen göstermiş ve mekânı bir fon olarak değerlendirmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Botero’nun resimlerindeki karakter-mekân ilişkisini fantastik sanat kapsamında kolonyal dönem mimarisi üzerinden analiz etmek ve değerlendirmektir.

Published: October 2023

Terminologia din domeniul securității este un subiect tabu și vag în România. Analizând discursul public al politicienilor sau textul strategiilor naționale, observăm de multe ori existența unei confuzii în folosirea corectă a termenilor securitate, apărare și siguranță. Această confuzie creează probleme de natură teoretică și practică, ce se reflectă în neînțelegeri la nivel instituțional în materie de atribuții, în percepții greșite ale societății cu privire la rolul anumitor organizații și în neutilizarea adecvată a potențialului de colaborare dintre societate și mediul militar. Soluția adecvată pentru aceste probleme este aceea de formare a unei culturi de securitate care să producă deprinderea unor noțiuni elementare din acest domeniu. Pentru realizarea acestui deziderat, considerăm esențial ca, în materie de terminologie a securității, să existe o cunoaștere și o folosire adecvată a principalelor concepte, care să producă astfel o ordine și o clarificare în înțelegerea proceselor prin care este realizată securitatea, apărarea și siguranța.

Authors: OMOTOSO, Ph.D Sharon , OLADEJO,Ph.D Mutiat , BELLO, Ph.D Temitope
Published: October 2023

As African states grapple with the challenges of democratic governance, there are postcolonial experiences of mob-related violence. Such is manifest in the extrajudicial reaction of citizens across North-East Nigeria to suspected attacks by agents of the Boko Haram insurgency. Scholarly contributions have established various dimensions of the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria. However, little attention is given to the nuances of gender and mob-induced violence and their implications for the security and development of women. Thus, this work examines the contexts of mob justice meted out to women webbed in Boko Haram-instigated suicide bombing. Findings from the study reveal that female suicide terrorism and the resultant social sanctions have further positioned women as vulnerable instruments of terror and subsequently as bearers of the security burdens that accompany mob justice perpetration within contexts of the Boko Haram insurgency.

Dinâmica de ondas e erosão costeira na desembocadura do rio Itapicuru, litoral norte do Estado da Bahia
Authors: Correia Iaggo Oliveira , Guimarães Junia Kacenelenbogen , Silva Iracema Reimão
Published: October 2023

Este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar a influência da dinâmica das ondas e características locais nos processos erosivos na planície costeira do rio Itapicuru, no litoral norte do estado da Bahia. A modelagem da dinâmica costeira foi realizada com o programa Sistema de Modelagem Costeira do Brasil (SMC-Brasil) e envolveu o cálculo da refração de ondas e do transporte longitudinal de sedimentos ao longo do litoral. Os resultados da modelagem mostraram que as ondas de sudeste são determinantes na definição do transporte resultante, que é predominante para nordeste. Em apenas um trecho do litoral estudado, o transporte teve sentido sudoeste. Isso se deveu a influência de uma “cava” batimétrica presente na plataforma que foi responsável pela divergência de raios de ondas de sudeste. Também tiveram influência na refração das frentes de ondas a presença de altos batimétricos na desembocadura dos rios Itariri e Itapicuru, associadas às suas barras de desembocadura, que geraram a convergência e aumento da energia de ondas. O estudo da interação da dinâmica de ondas com as características da zona costeira permitiram identificar duas situações de maior probabilidade de ocorrência de erosão no trecho estudado: i) na região das desembocaduras dos rios Itariri e Itapicuru, que além de apresentarem alta variabilidade de posição, intrínseca a desembocaduras fluviais, têm uma maior energia de ondas incidentes, provocada pela refração causada por suas próprias barras de desembocadura; e ii) na região do povoado de Poças, onde se localiza a única divergência de deriva litorânea constatada no trabalho, que torna o balanço sedimentar negativo na costa, e ocorre em trecho estreito de uma península, que por esta razão, também é vulnerável à ocasional erosão fluvial provocada por um afluente do rio Itapicuru que corre na retaguarda da mesma. Os resultados desse trabalho mostram a importância da modelagem da dinâmica costeira em escala de detalhe, que permitiu, por exemplo, identificar a divergência de deriva litorânea presente no povoado de Poças. Conclui-se também pela importância de evitar a ocupação nos trechos costeiros vulneráveis, como aqueles próximos de desembocaduras fluviais e aqueles associados a penínsulas estreitas e outras formas de acumulação, como pontais.

Produk penataan ruang belum sepenuhnya bertransformasi sebagai upaya praktik meruang masyarakat. Akibatnya, rencana tata ruang belum membumi. Penyebab cukup beragam, antara lain partisipasi masyarakat yang rencah dalam proses perencanaan ruang. Sebagian besar masyarakat belum atau bahkan tidak mengetahui dan memahami peruntukkan lahan di wilayahnya sendiri, serta rencana pembangunan apa yang akan dilakukan pada wilayah tersebut. Padahal, pengetahuan mengenai Tata Ruang diperlukan untuk dipahami dan dimengerti oleh seluruh kalangan masyarakat. Dengan demikian, kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini merupakan kesempatan yang baik untuk menyebarluaskan produk rencana tata ruang, khususnya Rencana Detail Tata Ruang yang merupakan operasionalisasi dari Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan melalui metode penyuluhan, tatap muka dengan para mitra sasaran. Para mitra memperoleh materi peraturan tata ruang, substansi penataan ruang, dan pelatihan membaca peta rencana tata ruang dengan total durasi 120 menit. Untuk mengetahui pemahaman materi, para peserta mengisi pretest dan post-test yang selanjutnya diolah menggunakan metode klasifikasi pesentase. Adapun hasil menunjukan bahwa masyarakat memperoleh pengetahuan baru mengenai proses dan produk rencana tata ruang pada wilayah dan lingkungan tempat tinggalnya. Hal tersebut tergambarkan dari hasil angket pada setiap sesi kegiatan. Para peserta memahami mengenai pentingnya rencana tata ruang sebagaimana pada agenda pertama, lalu para peserta memperoleh pengetahuan mengenai substansi rencana tata ruang, lalu para peserta dapat berhasil mempraktekan pengetahuannya pada pelatihan membaca peta rencana tata ruang.
