Auction mechanism on construction land quota with selection on land location
Authors: Deng Yang , Meng Weidong , Huang Bo , Liu Jingyu
Published: January 2022

Due to unreasonable pricing, farmers have low enthusiasm for reclaiming their homesteads, which can be used to generate construction land quota. This paper studies how to design a feasible pricing mechanism to stimulate the enthusiasm of farmers. First, we analyze the practice that the local government gives the developers with quota the selection, the right to select the location of the land to be auctioned. Then, applying sequential auction theory, we propose first- and second-price sealed-bid sequential auction models and design quota auction pricing mechanisms. Through theoretical and numerical analysis, we obtain the equilibrium strategy and analyze the impact of selection and on developers’ bidding pricing on quota. The results show that the selection can enhance the developer’s quota bidding price and farmers’ income. And the higher the value of selection to the developer, the higher the quota bidding price and farmer’s income. Contrarily, the larger the number of developers, the smaller the quota bidding price and farmers’ income. Finally, the quota bidding price and farmers’ income in the second-price sealed-bid sequential auction are higher than in the first-price sealed-bid sequential auction.

In cancer patients, appropriate diagnosis and management of infection are frequently challenging owing to subtle or atypical presentation. We investigated the effectiveness of infectious disease (ID) consultations and the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) in a Japanese cancer center. This 36-month-period, single-institution, interrupted time series analysis was retrospectively conducted during April 1, 2018–March 31, 2021, to evaluate a two-phase intervention: Phase 1 (notification of antimicrobials by the infection control team) and Phase 2 (establishing an ID consultation service and implementing ASP). Among 32,202 patients hospitalized, 22,096 and 10,106 hospitalizations occurred at baseline and during intervention period, respectively. The Antimicrobial Stewardship Team (AST) provided feedback on specific broad-spectrum antimicrobials in 913 instances (347 appropriate [38%]; 566 inappropriate [62%]), and 440 ID consultations were completed, with a 75% overall acceptance rate for AST suggestions. In Phase 2, monthly carbapenem days of therapy (CAR-DOT) decreased significantly, and narrow-spectrum antibiotic usage increased significantly in both trend and level; monthly DOT of antipseudomonal agents decreased significantly in trend. The results of these analyses of antimicrobial use are consistent with the DOT-based data based on antimicrobial use density (AUD). The total number of inpatient specimens increased significantly; the trend of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections decreased, without changes in the incidence of other resistant organisms, all-cause in-hospital mortality, and length of stay. Actual and adjusted CAR purchase costs per patient-day decreased without significant changes in the actual and adjusted purchase cost per patient-day for all intravenous antimicrobials. Combining ID consultation and ASP reduced carbapenem use without negative patient outcomes. Their implementation could facilitate establishment of safe cancer treatment facilities in Japan and improve prognosis in cancer patients.

In many countries a second wave of infections caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has occurred, triggering a shortage of reagents needed for diagnosis and compromising the capacity of laboratory testing. There is an urgent need to develop methods to accelerate the diagnostic procedures. Pooling samples represents a strategy to overcome the shortage of reagents, since several samples can be tested using one reaction, significantly increasing the number and speed with which tests can be carried out. We have reported the feasibility to use a direct lysis procedure of saliva as source for RNA to SARS-CoV-2 genome detection by reverse transcription quantitative-PCR (RT-qPCR). Here, we show that the direct lysis of saliva pools, of either five or ten samples, does not compromise the detection of viral RNA. In addition, it is a sensitive, fast, and inexpensive method that can be used for massive screening, especially considering the proximity of the reincorporation of activities in universities, offices, and schools.
Alteration of ankle proprioceptive threshold during gait in the presence of acute experimental pain
Authors: Bertrand-Charette Michaël , Le Quang Miorie , Roy Jean-Sébastien , Bouyer Laurent J.
Published: January 2022

Objective

Human gait requires complex somatosensory processing of various inputs such as proprioception. Proprioception can be altered in the presence of pain. This has been shown mostly during controlled tasks, thereby limiting the influence of external perturbations. While controlling the environment is sometimes warranted, it limits the ecological validity of the data. Using robotic orthoses to apply perturbations during movements seems a promising tool to functionally assess proprioception, where the complex somatosensory processing required in real-life situations is at play. The main objective of this study was to compare the proprioceptive threshold of healthy participants during gait in the presence and absence of an acute experimental pain.

Methods

36 healthy participants walked on a treadmill while wearing a robotized ankle–foot orthosis (rAFO) around their right ankle. The rAFO applied torque perturbations of graded magnitudes during the swing phase of gait. Participants had to report the presence/absence of such perturbations, as a measure of proprioceptive threshold. Following initial assessment, they were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups: Control (no stimulation), Painless (non-nociceptive stimulation) and Painful (nociceptive stimulation). Electrodes placed on the right lateral malleolus delivered an electrical stimulation during the second assessment for Painless and Painful groups. A Kruskal-Wallis was used to compare the percentage of change of the three groups between the two assessments.

Results

A 31.80±32.94% increase in proprioceptive threshold, representing an increase of 1.3±1.2 Nm in the detection threshold, was observed for the Painful group only (p<0.005), with an effect size of 1.6.

Conclusion

Findings show that the presence of pain at the ankle can alter participants’ proprioceptive threshold during gait. Clinical assessment of proprioception should therefore carefully consider the presence of pain when evaluating a patient’s performance using clinical proprioceptive test and consider the negative effect of pain on proprioceptive threshold for test interpretation.
Expansion microscopy of Plasmodium gametocytes reveals the molecular architecture of a bipartite microtubule organisation centre coordinating mitosis with axoneme assembly
Authors: Rashpa Ravish , Brochet Mathieu
Published: January 2022

Transmission of malaria-causing parasites to mosquitoes relies on the production of gametocyte stages and their development into gametes. These stages display various microtubule cytoskeletons and the architecture of the corresponding microtubule organisation centres (MTOC) remains elusive. Combining ultrastructure expansion microscopy (U-ExM) with bulk proteome labelling, we first reconstructed in 3D the subpellicular microtubule network which confers cell rigidity to Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. Upon activation, as the microgametocyte undergoes three rounds of endomitosis, it also assembles axonemes to form eight flagellated microgametes. U-ExM combined with Pan-ExM further revealed the molecular architecture of the bipartite MTOC coordinating mitosis with axoneme formation. This MTOC spans the nuclear membrane linking cytoplasmic basal bodies to intranuclear bodies by proteinaceous filaments. In P. berghei, the eight basal bodies are concomitantly de novo assembled in a SAS6- and SAS4-dependent manner from a deuterosome-like structure, where centrin, γ-tubulin, SAS4 and SAS6 form distinct subdomains. Basal bodies display a fusion of the proximal and central cores where centrin and SAS6 are surrounded by a SAS4-toroid in the lumen of the microtubule wall. Sequential nucleation of axonemes and mitotic spindles is associated with a dynamic movement of γ-tubulin from the basal bodies to the intranuclear bodies. This dynamic architecture relies on two non-canonical regulators, the calcium-dependent protein kinase 4 and the serine/arginine-protein kinase 1. Altogether, these results provide insights into the molecular organisation of a bipartite MTOC that may reflect a functional transition of a basal body to coordinate axoneme assembly with mitosis.
Plato’s Phaedo and “the Art of Glaucus”: Transcending the Distortions of Developmentalism
Authors: Altman William Henry Furness
Published: January 2022

In a 1985 article entitled “The Art of Glaukos,” Diskin Clay suggested that the enigmatic passage at the beginning of the geological myth in Phaedoreferred toRepublic10, where the soul is likened to the sea-creature Glaucus whose true nature, like the soul’s, is obscured by the distortions imposed by underwater life. Starting with a defense of Clay’s ingenious suggestion, my purpose is to compare Phaedoto Glaucus, with its true nature obscured by traditional assumptions about the order in which Plato composed his dialogues, and thus how they should be read. At least part of the reason that Clay’s thesis has not been embraced is because it clashes with the dogma that Phaedocannot refer back to Republic; I want to challenge that dogma. Borrowing from Catherine Zuckert the notion that, since Phaedocomes at the end of Socrates’ story, it can usefully be read as the culmination of the Platonic dialogues, I will show how a “late” Phaedo—i.e., a reading of the dialogue that is open to the possibility that it refers to more than one dialogue generally considered to be later than it with respect to composition—recovers its true nature, presently encrusted with the oysters and seaweed of an outdated developmentalism that has obscured this culminating masterpiece of Plato’s dramatic and philosophical art.
La Violencia en la Historia
Authors: Portero Hernández Rodrigo , Álvarez Fernández Esteban
Published: January 2022

La violencia ha sido considerada uno de los grandes ejes que explican el devenir de la humanidad desde los comienzos de la ciencia historiográfica. Nos repele y nos atrae, deseamos olvidarla pero no debemos dejar que caiga en el olvido, aparenta estar ligada a momentos históricos concretos pero atraviesa nuestro día a día… Quizás por estas razones la violencia, en todas sus posibles manifestaciones, lejos de ser un tema obsoleto, continúa teniendo un gran potencial como cuestión historiográfica, tal y como muestran las investigaciones que conforman este libro. De la mano de diferentes especialistas, y en un recorrido que va desde la Prehistoria hasta la Edad Contemporánea, este volumen colectivo analiza las violencias históricas desde la antropología física, la historia militar, la iconografía, o la historia de la infancia entre otros puntos de vista. Guerras, conflictos políticos y religiosos y sus significados simbólicos, o la violencia como espectáculo son algunas de las cuestiones que abordan sus páginas. Si bien existen pocos temas que hayan sido más estudiados por la historiografía que la violencia, este libro, fruto del Congreso Internacional La Violencia en la Historia, celebrado en la Universidad de Salamanca en octubre de 2019, es una muestra de que las preguntas históricas nunca se agotan y de que las violencias pasadas deben seguir siendo revisitadas desde nuevos enfoques.
Co-creating sustainable food futures with botanical gardens and communities: reflections from the BigPicnic project
Authors: Alexopoulos Georgios , Moussouri Theano
Published: January 2022

This article addresses the potential of participatory approaches and processes of co-creation in the context of botanical gardens. It examines how such approaches can not only help cultural heritage sector organisations to engage with different members of their public, but also how they can work with their communities to tackle globally significant societal and environmental goals. Drawing on research conducted for the EU-funded BigPicnic project, this article examines the methodological processes employed by a large consortium of botanical gardens and presents some examples of exhibitions and science cafés that attempted to both highlight issues of food security and sustainability and foster forms of knowledge that go beyond the dichotomy between experts and non-experts. A critical overview of the outcomes of this project serves to outline the potential of co-creation for promoting sustainable food futures.
Heritage questing with Virginia Woolf: UCL Institute of Archaeology’s ‘spirit of place’ and new pedagogies of the pandemic
Authors: Butler Beverley , Francis David , Pavey Ellen
Published: January 2022

This article charts a particular journey of discovery – that of ‘heritage questing with Virginia Woolf’. We explore how, against the backdrop of COVID-19, the Master’s in Cultural Heritage Studies (MACHS) adopted and adapted Virginia Woolf as an efficacious ‘ancestor figure’ around which staff and students were able to grasp, engage with, articulate and try to understand the extraordinary experiences and challenges faced throughout the academic year. Woolf emerged as the shared conduit and portal by which MACHS in ‘diaspora’ could imaginatively connect with, collectively tap into and add new layers to the Institute of Archaeology (IoA)’s ‘spirit of place’ in Bloomsbury. In what follows, our article draws on a co-ethnography of these experiences which, in turn, we juxtapose alongside Virginia Woolf’s own literary insights. Writ large, our journey sees us critically reflect upon attempts to navigate the unknown currents and trajectories of living, teaching and learning in times of coronavirus within which Woolf emerged as a lighthouse of sorts. Writ larger still, we see our quest as a means to grasp the ‘new pedagogies of the pandemic’ that materialised as an outcome of the impacts and experiences of coronavirus. Ultimately these were also seized upon as a means of taking forward the shared promise of fulfilment, in terms of shaping such quests into liveable presents and better futures as well as adding new layers to the IoA’s stratigraphy.
Corporate or commercial? Considering modes of ceramic roof tile production in Chichester in the medieval and beyond
Authors: Nicholls Hayley , Regensberg Rae
Published: January 2022

Medieval tileries, their mode of production and development are still very poorly understood. This research update combines historic and recent excavation data, along with documentary evidence to suggest that there may have been a rare example of a commercial tilery, operating independently of the church or crown in the Chichester region (UK), as early as the thirteenth century.

This kiln site produced utilitarian roof tile, potentially for distribution across the region, including to sites of low status. The industry appears to have moved out of the city of Chichester to the hinterland in the late medieval period.
Agricultores certificados ou em transição orgânica/agroecológica no Oeste do Paraná
Authors: Novakoski Rodrigo , Garcez Wives Daniela
Published: January 2022

Buscou-se pesquisar a agricultura orgânica/agroecológica na região oeste do estado do Paraná. Como objetivo central, este estudo centrou-se nas vivências, dificuldades e os elementos que motivam a agricultura orgânica/agroecológica na região. Para tanto, foram entrevistados vinte e sete agricultores certificados e em transição para a certificação. A pesquisa foi realizada com agricultores nos seguintes municípios: Cascavel, Marechal Cândido Rondon, Palotina, Pato Bragado e São Miguel do Iguaçu. Observa-se que os resultados mais relevantes demonstraram que a agricultura orgânica/agroecológica da região é dependente de políticas públicas, contratos com órgãos governamentais, especialmente a hidrelétrica Itaipu Binacional e contratos com prefeituras. As análises demonstraram que os agricultores atuam para além de seus aspectos prático/teóricos, trazendo a subjetividade como um elo importante para manterem-se como atores ativos nas práticas orgânicas/agroecológicas, por tratar-se, antes de tudo, de um “projeto de vida” em respeito para com o próximo, para não poluir/contaminar o ambiente e para levar alimentos saudáveis aos consumidores.
Aspectos do ideário cooperativista e o cooperativismo no Brasil
Authors: Fajardo Sergio , Mendes Rocha Márcio
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo é parte de pesquisa de Pós-Doutorado desenvolvida entre os anos de 2017 e 2018. O objetivo foi apresentar os caminhos tomados pelo cooperativismo praticado no Brasil. Os rumos, muitas vezes, desvirtuaram-se dos ideais originais e os pensamentos dos teóricos precursores do movimento cooperativista dos séculos XVIII e XIX. Ademais, as origens sindical e trabalhista foram esquecidas por muitos defensores do cooperativismo atual. Por outro lado, paralelamente, correntes alternativas, alicerçadas, por exemplo, na Economia Solidária, ganharam espaço no país.

Published: January 2022

Reflexões teóricas sobre as práticas alimentares atuais e o uso de oficinas culinárias no processo de ensino-aprendizagem demonstram a importância da culinária como campo de prática para a promoção da troca de saberes, educação alimentar e nutricional, e inclusão produtiva. Desenvolver uma oficina culinária para incentivar a alimentação saudável e a emancipação social atende as necessidades do Brasil atual, em que as práticas culinárias são reduzidas, as escolhas alimentares priorizam preparações rápidas e palatáveis e a capacitação profissional representa uma estratégia de inclusão produtiva. Este trabalho relata a experiência de uma oficina culinária realizada por meio do projeto de extensão “Inclusão Produtiva através de oficinas culinárias em uma obra social do município de Juiz de Fora-MG”. A ação, com o tema Alimentação na fase adulta, foi destinada às mulheres frequentadoras da Obra Social. Foram utilizados o Guia Alimentar para a População Brasileira e as dinâmicas de grupo como estratégias lúdico-pedagógicas e as participantes foram instrumentalizadas a confeccionarem uma salada no pote. Essa ação estimulou as integrantes a terem uma alimentação saudável e a se inserirem no mercado de trabalho. A culinária promove educação alimentar e nutricional e inclusão produtiva, pois valoriza a autonomia nas escolhas alimentares e a emancipação social.

Finding written hijaiyah letters can be recognized by humans, but will be difficult if a computer tries to recognize them. The reason system is difficult is because of the large variety of different letters. This study aims to make it easier for someone to learn to recognize hijaiyah letters by using the Local Binary Pattern method for the feature extraction process. The results of feature extraction will take the maximum value of the histogram of each letter. And results feature extraction will be carried out classification process using the Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm until finally hijaiyah letters can be recognized. Based on experimental results that have been carried out, the highest level of accuracy is obtained when the amount of training data is 154 data and the number of data testing is 29 data, resulting in an accuracy rate of 96.55%.
Kilka uwag na temat kariery magistra militum Flawiusza Plinty i jego wpływów na dworze Teodozjusza II
Authors: Pigoński Łukasz
Published: January 2022

Przedmiotem rozważań jest próba rekonstrukcji kariery i działalności militarnej magistra militum Flawiusza Plinty opisywana w Historii Kościelnej Sozomena. Źródło to uznawane jest za jedno z nielicznych, przekazujących informacje o tym polityku i dowódcy pochodzenia gockiego, żyjącym w V wieku ne. Jak wynika z tego przekazu, Flawiusz Plinta był wpływową osobą na dworze konstantynopolitańskim. Kluczowe dla jego jego pozycji były relacje z plemieniem Gotów, które cesarstwo osadziło w Tracji, aby kontrolować problem Hunów. Ponadto F. Plinta był pierwszym z potężnych magistrów militum w cesarstwie wschodniorzymskim, którzy wykorzystywali swój status w systemie militarnym do osiągania znacznych wpływów politycznych.
Obraz Kościoła katolickiego w prasie jugosłowiańskiej w okresie dążenia władz jugosłowiańskich do zerwania relacji ze Stolicą Apostolską (1952)
Authors: Wawryszuk Paweł
Published: January 2022

Artykuł przedstawia kampanię prasy jugosłowiańskiej, skierowaną przeciwko Kościołowi katolickiemu. Jej początek jest datowany na połowe stycznia 1952 roku, gdy podczas posiedzenia Komitetu Wykonawczego (Politbiura) KC Komunistycznej Partii Jugosławii, Josip Broz Tito zadecydował o zerwaniu stosunków dyplomatycznych ze Stolicą Apostolską. Główny nacisk kampanii prasowej został skierowany na Chorwację i Słowenię, gdzie katolicy stanowili większość. Gazety przedstawiały Kościół katolicki jako siłę antyjugosłowiańską i ukazywały hierarchów, na czele z chorwackim biskupem Alojzije Stepincem, jako kolaborantów reżimów faszystowskich z czasów II wojny światowej. Unikano jednak atakowania duchownych niższej rangi, chcąc przyciągnąć ich do stowarzyszeń, które współpracowały z władzami.

Published: January 2022

The Socialist Republic of Croatia, as one of republics of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, possessed its State Security Service (Služba državne sigurnosti, SDS), equivalent to similar political security services in other communist states. At the Yugoslav level there was also the Federal State Security Service. The State Security of Croatia dealt with both internal and external threats to the communist system and gathered intelligence information. In the early 1980s the State Security of Croatia gathered sizeable amount of information on the events connected with activities of „Solidarity” in the People’s Republic of Poland and the crisis that ultimately led to the imposition of state of war in Poland, as well as reaction to these events in Croatia. The main aim of this paper is to present State Security reports about with Poland in the period between 1980 and 1982.

W dniach 22-23 października 2021 r odbyła się konferencja XX Balcanicum, zorganizowana przez Komisję Bałkanistyki, we współpracy z Wydziałem Historii UAM. Na konferencji, która odbyła się w trybie hybrydowym (stacjonarnie i zdalnie) wygłoszono 21 referatów, które przedstawili badacze z ośrodków polskich i zagranicznych. W ramach konferencji odbyły się dwie sesje tematyczne. Pierwsza z nich zatytułowana została Osmańska groza nad Europą. Z dziejów walk zbrojnych z Imperium Osmańskim. Wybór takiego tematu pierwszej z sesji wiązał się z faktem, że w 2021 roku przypadło kilka okrągłych rocznic znaczących starć zbrojnych z Imperium Osmańskim. Zapoczątkowuje je bitwa nad Maricą stoczona 28 września 1371 r. , w której zniszczona została armia serbska króla Vukašina i despoty Jana Uglješy. Dwieście lat później w 1571 r. flota sprzymierzonych państw Świętej Ligi w bitwie pod Lepanto wyeliminowała Imperium Osmańskie z grona wielkich potęg morskich. Pięćdziesiąt lat później w 1621 roku wojska polsko-litewskie obroniły Chocim.Druga z sesji tematycznych, które miały miejsce na konferencji nosiła tytuł W stulecie sojuszu polsko-rumuńskiego. Rumunia i księstwa rumuńskie w polityce europejskiej. Wybór tego tematu wiązał się z faktem, że drugą istotną rocznicą przypadającą w roku 2021 była setna rocznica zawarcia sojuszu polsko-rumuńskiego. Był to pierwszy sojusz zawarty przez odrodzone państwo polskie, funkcjonował przez cały okres międzywojenny i zaowocował przyjęciem przez państwo rumuńskie ogromnej liczby Polaków po wybuchu II wojny światowej.
Kultura szkoły – wyzwanie dla włączającego kształcenia
Authors: Chrzanowska Iwona
Published: January 2022

The article focuses on the issues of inclusive education and school culture. The main aim of the article is to introduce the concept of inclusive education and to reflect on the meaning of building the orga- nizational culture of school for the shaping of educational paths of students with disabilities and their functioning in peer relations. The literature analysis clearly shows that a large percentage of students with disabilities (approx. 30%) change their first-choice school (mainstream) to another one during their education. The data showing a low position of a student with a disability in the classroom are disturbing. It seems that building the organizational culture of an inclusive school will be an important factor of positive change in this case. Basing it on values, norms and standards of practice that, as internalized beliefs and attitudes of the entire school community (staff, students and parents) will create conditions for the individual and social development of all students.
Edukacja włączająca w kontekstach szkolnych i społecznych w czasach „niepewności”
Authors: Jachimczak Beata
Published: January 2022

The implementation of inclusive education (education of diverse groups) has been an ongoing process for many years. Both general and special educators are interested in it, because it concerns all subjects who are firstly students and pupils in the education system and then adult participants of social life. However, despite many years of interest, defining what inclusive education is, both in theoretical and pragmatic terms, remains problematic. The last three years have seen intensified systemic activities aimed at defining this concept in Poland, as well as aimed at introducing changes to create a school friendly to everyone, according to the widely understood concept of inclusive education. These changes have coincided with a very difficult period for all of us, namely the COVID-19 pandemic and the associ- ated uncertainty, which can be limiting and undermining the functioning of both individuals and entire groups. The article refers to the designed and implemented changes despite the unfavorable pandemic and socio-political situation.
Aspects of ancient warfare: Multidisciplinary research on war and warriors in Bronze Age Europe
Authors: Suchowska-Ducke Paulina
Published: January 2022

The study of warfare among ancient societies – its nature, scale and impacts – has become an increasingly fertile multidisciplinary field of research in archaeology and related disciplines. This is particularly true for the European Bronze Age, an epoch that has produced iconic arte- facts, architecture, images, and written sources that speak about war and warriorhood. Modern research has made it sufficiently clear that, far from being the singular acts of heroic individ - uals, ancient warfare was common, brutal, and well-organized. However, war, as an extreme form of social interaction, has also been a driver for technological and economic development. From Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, the archaeological record has preserved rich traces of the warrior elite that was instrumental in transforming Bronze Age societies. This body of evidence is being studied with increasingly diverse analytical tools, ranging from use-wear analysis of weapons to forensic analysis of human remains and GIS-based spatial analysis. The following is a summary of author’s research on the multiple aspects and archaeological sources that surround the topics of war and warriors in Bronze Age Europe.
Barrows in the Skirts of the Forest: Excavation of a Wielbark culture cemetery at Mirosław 37, Ujście commune, Piła district, Greater Poland Voivodeship
Authors: Michałowski Andrzej
Published: January 2022

Archaeological excavations carried out at site 37 in Mirosław since 2016 have revealed a barrow cemetery of the Wielbark culture. An enormous amount of data hitherto collected has greatly facilitated better understandings of the settlement patterns of the population represented by this cultural group in the northern part of Greater Poland. This information provides a truly compelling and valuable contribution into the study of the burial customs of communities inhabiting northern Greater Poland during the Roman Iron Age period. As a result of this work, two of seven preserved mounds were examined. These contained two female burials: an inhumation burial, dated to phase B2/C1 deposited in Barrow 7 and a cremation burial dated to phase C1a deposited in Barrow 1. Also, other objects were recorded in the area of the mounds, in particular traces that are evidence of metallurgical production. What is more, a fragment of the plane part of the site was identified using non-invasive research methods – magnetometer prospection. A part of this area was examined by means of excavation, which confirmed the occurrence of both burial goods (a burial that was first exhumed in antiquity, was possibly made from another, leveled burial mound) as well as other objects, present in the cemetery and related to the funeral activities. Additionally, the zone between Barrows 6 and 7 yielded the burial of a small child. The excavations have stimulated numerous research questions which have not yet been satisfactorily answered and are vital for describing the structure of the cemetery and providing its full chronology.
Poznań in the early Middle Ages
Authors: Kóčka-Krenz Hanna , Antowska-Gorączniak Olga , Sikorski Andrzej
Published: January 2022

The information contained in the oldest written sources reveals that Poznań was the seat of the Bishop of St. Peter’s Church and emphasises the military strength of the stronghold during the reign of Bolesław the Brave (Chrobry). They do not, however, provide any data about the size, fortifications, or development of the area covered by the stronghold or about the processes that transformed its buildings. As the written sources seem laconic, archaeologists must rely on the results of their research to reconstruct a picture of how the stronghold functioned. They reveal that in the second half of the 10 th century, the prince/duke possessed a stone palas in the stronghold of Poznań with a separate reception hall, chancellery office, and treasury, as well as a stone palace chapel used for private devotion. Adjacent to the palas was a wooden building that was a goldsmith’s workshop – one of the specialized work- shops that fulfilled the needs of the court. The nearby paved square was probably surrounded by other buildings serving as courtly workshops. The second section of the stronghold, adjacent to the east, contained in its centre the cathedral church and the buildings that be- longed to wealthy people associated with the ruler who performed military and administrative functions on his behalf. The third (northern) segment of the complex was probably intended for economic purposes. On the other hand, the fortified site of Zagórze was inhabited by a group of people who performed service functions for the rest of the stronghold’s inhabitants. There is no question, therefore, that Poznań was a mighty fortalice that guarded approaches to the interior of the state, a stronghold which had administrative, economic, and sacral functions that was the residence of the first Piasts and constituted the main point of support in the management of their domain.
Rock art as a source of contemporary cultural identity: a Siberian-Canadian Comparative Study
Authors: Rozwadowski Andrzej
Published: January 2022

This brief article is an introduction to a research project that examines the contemporary re- ception and re-interpretation/re-vitalization of prehistoric rock art and, more specifically, the re/ use of rock art motifs by present-day artists in Siberia and Canada. During the second half of the 20 th century, new artistic trends emerged in both regions, wherein artists significantly drew upon the heritage of indigenous peoples. In Canada, this phenomenon is mainly connected to works created by First Nations artists, while in Siberia it concerns a broader spectrum of image makers from indigenous and non-indigenous backgrounds. As a result, how the past is drawn upon in these two geographical regions involves differing perspectives, though some common trends can be observed. How do the artists link the past with the present through rock art, and to what extent do the images provide them with a source of identity? These are the questions examined by the project.

Published: January 2022

This article presents the newly established ArchaeoMicroLab – the Laboratory of Microscopic Analysis in Archaeology – in the Faculty of Archaeology at Adam Mickiewicz University, its equipment, and the scope of research carried out in this facility. Microscopic analyses are essential research tools used in archaeology for examining artefacts and traces of their use, organic remains, pigments, and many other objects. The use of high magnification enables researchers to capture interesting details that are not visible at the macroscopic level. The article discusses different categories of artefacts, samples and the possibilities of their examination in the laboratory.
Between the East and the West of Europe: The Eneolithic and the Beginning of the Bronze Age in Light of Studies on Bio-Cultural Borderlands
Authors: Kośko Aleksander , Włodarczak Piotr , Żurkiewicz Danuta
Published: January 2022

The barrows of the Yamnaya culture located along the middle Dniester River (southern Ukraine, Yampil region) became a matter of concern for a Polish-Ukrainian archaeological expedition. As a result of this joint effort, a series of earlier studies of the barrows were published and additional excavations were conducted. A total of seven barrows located at four archaeological sites were excavated. Consequently, a variety of new materials were obtained, which made it possible to perform extensive specialist analyses (radiocarbon, isotope, and aDNA, among others). The results of this research show a broader picture of local Yamnaya culture communities, allowing a comparison with Central European Corded Ware culture communities and contributing immensely to the discussion regarding the relations between these groups.

Published: January 2022

The Anthemous Valley Archaeological Project is a cooperation between Greek and Polish scientists aiming towards archaeological recognition of the northern Aegean within the alluvial Anthemous Valley. The methodology of the project consists of the multidisciplinary tools of settlement archaeology and geoarchaeology. The timeframe spans the prehistoric periods from the Neolithic to the Early Iron Age. One of the main research tasks is to reconstruct the evolution of the landscape in close reference to the cultural changes in the region. To date, all sites within the valley have been catalogued and identified through archaeological prospection and some with the use of geophysical survey. The results point to an intensive occupation in the past, especially during the Bronze Age. Geoarchaeological research was conducted in the tell of Nea Raedestos, which has shown major landscape transformations in the Holocene due to river activity. The current work focuses on the mouth of the Anthemous River to reconstruct the progradation processes and formation of the deltaic plain in relation to prehistoric human occupation of this area.

“The old boys’ network”: Medical space, gendered memory, and prejudices in Sidney Sheldon’sNothing Last Forever
Authors: Karmakar Manali , G. Bhuvaneswari
Published: January 2022

Sidney Sheldon’s Nothing Last Foreverunfolds a mosaic of experiences encountered by medical professionals that normatively remains unheard in the cycle of diagnosing, treating, and caring for patients. The novel brings to light the human within the doctor that is consciously kept at bay to cope with professional demands. With the rise of narrative medicine, scholars such as Rita Charon have emphasized the importance of narratology to understand patients’ crises. However, narrative medicine has largely ignored the phenomenological crises and anxieties of medical professionals. Thus, the paper investigates how on the one hand the female agencies problematize the medical space, and on the other, how the agency embodied by the female doctor is constantly threatened and demeaned by the male gaze that primarily categorizes women as sexual objects and caregivers. This paper primarily inquires how the politics ofgendered memoryis dramatized and contested in Sidney Sheldon’s medical crime thrillerNothing Last Forever.
A note on bf
-spaces and on the distribution of the functor of the Dieudonné completion
Authors: Sanchis Manuel , Valero Óscar
Published: January 2022

A subset B of a space X is said to be bounded (in X) if the restriction to B of every real-valued continuous function on X is bounded. A real-valued function on X is called bf
-continuous if its restriction to each bounded subset of X has a continuous extension to the whole space X. bf
-spaces are spaces such that bf
-continuous functions are continuous. We take advantage to the exponential map in the realm of bf
-spaces in order to study bf
-extensions of bf
-continuous functions. This allows us to improve several results concerning the distribution of the functor of the Dieudonné completion. We also prove that a relative version of the classical Glicksberg’s theorem characterizing the product of two pseudocompact spaces is valid for kr-
spaces. In the last section we show that bf
-hemibounded groups are Moscow spaces and, consequently, they are strong-PT-groups.
Evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on women in Morocco and Tunisia
Authors: Sipos Xénia Zsuzsanna
Published: January 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has globally amplified and brought to the surface the difficulties of vulnerable groups, including women engaged in rural activities. Even before the outbreak of the pandemic, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region was strongly affected by a significantly high unemployment rate (42.8%) among young people aged 15 to 24. The fact that 61.8% of the female labour force in Morocco and 70% of it in Tunisia are involved in the agricultural sector serves as an additional obstacle to realizing gender equality. Besides the application of statistical indicators, the article also works with qualitative data collected from interviews that were conducted with four representatives or members of local Tunisian NGOs and four activists of Moroccan women’s rights organizations. On one hand, it cannot be denied that international relations themselves are strongly strongly dominated by men. On the other hand, taking into consideration the complex interdependence of the international political order and its effects on decision-makers and sub-state actors alike, the analysis states that despite the political, historical, economic, and cultural char- acteristics of Morocco and Tunisia, the pandemic can serve as a catalyst for women’s rights organizations to act for the improve- ment of women’s conditions.
The Shrinking Rate of Utilised Agricultural Land and its Components in the Baltic Sea Region Countries
Authors: Bučienė Angelija
Published: January 2022

The temporal and spatial changes of land use are important while studying the rural landscapes on both the regional-geographical and environmental scales. In the Baltic Sea region with nine countries (including Russian Federation, represented by Kaliningrad oblast, the utilised agricultural land (UAL) makes about 34 % of total region area on the average. The current research revealed the trends of different shrinking rate of UAL in nine studied countries from 1993 to 2008: it varied within the range between 3 % in Denmark and 43 % in Estonia. Research focus was given to the changes in ratio between arable land and area under meadows and pastures: it increased from 6.5 to 10.9 during 15 years period (1993–2008) on the average, that shows the increase in land use and farming intensity even the UAL area was shrunk.

Published: January 2022

Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas organizacijų bendradarbiavimas pasienio regionuose, pristatomi Klaipėdos regiono organizacijų apklausos dėl bendradarbiavimo su Latvijos organizacijomis rezultatai. Nustatyta, kad bendradarbiaujama nepakankamai, tačiau yra nemažai organizacijų, kurios tokiu bendradarbiavimu suinteresuotos. Siekiant išsiaiškinti, kas trukdo bendradarbiavimą plėtoti, nustatyta, kad užsienio kalba tokia kliūtimi negali būti laikoma, nes jos nemokėjimas sukelia problemų tik mažai daliai regiono organizacijų. Kaip didžiausią kliūtį galima įvardyti informacijos apie galimybes plėtoti verslą ir bendradarbiauti su Latvijos organizacijomis trūkumą. Siekiant šias kliūtis pašalinti, siūloma daugiau dėmesio skirti informacijos apie bendradarbiavimo galimybes regione sklaidai.
