Trigonometric method used to correct local coordinates topographic surveys, applied for archaeology
Authors: Cîntar Adrian
Published: March 2022

The necessity of Stereo 70 topographical surveys for archaeological sites raises the issue of access to coordinates needed to create a proper measurement aligned to the Romanian national system. In most situations involving our team, Stereo 70 coordinates of sites that had to be measured were unknown or the site itself was still unknown, being unidentified yet, and thereby we were forced to use local coordinates for those particular surveys. Local coordinates involve an orientation issue, orientation mainly achieved with the help of a compass to indicate the magnetic North, thus implying another issue : the difference between true (geographic) North and magnetic North. In our experience the difference between our survey and the reality was between 7 and 12 trigonometric degrees. The software methods used rotations based on the shapefiles thus leaving the source coordinates unaltered, but these created inconveniences because both shapefiles and source coordinates, among other digital data, must be handed over to the Ministry of Culture and Cults in order to obtain the excavation authorization. Also, the archaeologists who requested the surveys need geographically correct data. This trigonometric method involves trigonometric correction of the raw data acquired by the total station and its conversion to Stereo 70, thus offering precise data and surveys to researchers and institutions.
Notes on the Hungarian expansion East of Carpathians in the mid XIVth century
Authors: Căprăroiu Denis
Published: March 2022

Notes on the Hungarian expansion East of Carpathians in the mid XIVth century. The paper analyzes the historical context of the Hungarian expansion East of Carpathians in the XIVth century, as well as the highly disputed chronology of the Angevines’ military campaigns against the Golden Horde. The documentary information available today do not allow, in our view, the identification of big scale military actions, able to settle down and bring an end to the Hungarian-Mongolian conflict. On the contrary, it seems that the rather fortuitous accomplishments of the Angevines’ in this area owe more to the temporary restriction of the Mongolian presence in the future territory of Moldavia, which took place in quite specific circumstances.
Who began the wars between the Jin and Song Empires? (based on materials used in Jurchen studies in Russia)
Authors: Kim Alexander
Published: March 2022

Who began the wars between the Jin and Song Empires ? (based on materials used in Jurchen studies in Russia). The Jurchen (on Chinese reading – Ruchen, [caractères chinois], Russian -чжурчжэни, Korean – [caractères coréens]) tribes inhabited what is now the south and central part of Russian Far East, North Korea and North and Central China in the eleventh to sixteenth centuries. The Jurchen established several states, the most powerful of which was the Jin Empire (Golden Empire) (1115 -1234), which attained a high cultural level and was the most powerful state in the twelfth century (M. Vorob` ev, 1983 ; E. Shavkunov, 1990). The study of the Jurchen in Russia began in the 1820 -30s. when Nikita Iakovlevich Bichurin (Никита Яковлевич Бичурин), archimandrite Iakinf (архимандрит Иакинф) and Vasilii Pavlovich Vasil’ev (Василий Павлович Васильев) translated several Manchurian, Chinese and Korean texts about the Jin Empire (L. Simonovskaia, 1948 ; V. Nikiforov, 1970 ; V. Miasnikov 1977, 1979). Later Russian scholars continued conducting Jurchen studies and paid considerable attention to relations between the Jurchen and China. The wars between the Jurchen and Song dynasties (1125 -1142) dynasties played a large role in international relations in East Asia. After these wars the Jin Empire become the most powerful state in East Asia. However many scholars have asked the question : who provoked these wars ? Russian and Soviet scholars intensively translated and researched ancient Chinese manuscripts in order to understand the situation at this time. But they didn’t have one opinion about it. If we consider only Chinese materials, we can conclude that the Jurchen began hostilities against the Song Empire, but in the process of comparing these with other sources we can see that probably China provoked war with the Jurchen. Author of work reconsiders and analyses specifics of the relation between both empires before the war, role of leaders between China and Jin in development of the conflict, problem of inner situation in Jurchen state etc.

Venus Cult in the inscriptions from Dacia
Authors: Antal Adriana
Published: March 2022

En Dacia neuf inscriptions avec déesse Vénus ont été trouvés. Les bronzes, les terres cuites ou les statues en pierre de Vénus sont plus nombreux en Dacia que les inscriptions. La différence réside dans les moyens particuliers d''expression dans le culte public et privé. Les inscriptions révèlent surtout l’aspect public du culte, l’aspect officiel. Les inscriptions sont probablement le résultat d''une obligation professionnelle. Monuments avec des inscriptions sont érigés pour le bien public, au bénéfice de la communauté et du peuple romain entier. Mais, une distinction claire entre le culte public et privé ne peut pas être faite, parce que les deux questions se chevauchent souvent et se complètent mutuellement.
The problem of understanding of the political status of Bohai state
Authors: Kim Alexander
Published: March 2022

The problem of understanding of the political status of Bohai state. Bohai (698 – 926) was a medieval state in East Asia. Tang Empire in 713 recognized Bohai as dukedom and considered this state as kingdom from the 760s. However, status of Bohai was unclear. Although Bohai was a formal vassal of the Tang Empire, it followed its own independent path, not only in its internal policies, but also in its foreign relations. Furthermore, it regarded itself as an empire. The aim of this article is to consider and analyze specifics, changes of political status of the Bohai state and its influence to international relation and position of Bohai population in East Asia at medieval period.

Geangoeşti-Hulă, Romania: A Gumelniţa settlement on the banks of the Dâmboviţa River. Non-invasive research results
Authors: Micle Dorel , Stavilă Andrei
Published: March 2022

The Geangoeşti-Hulă neo-eneolithic tell, Romania, is one of the numerous settlements belonging to the Gumelniţa culture : it is located at the northern extremity of the culture area, which involves, from the point of view of the habitation landscape, certain features. This study presents results of non-invasive research, archaeological survey and geo-physical prospection as a component part of a new project of systematic archaeological research of the place. The issues related to the position and micro-relief of the area were analyzed based mainly on the detailed digital terrain model (DEM) of the site allowing hypsometric, slope declivity, morphological profile tracing or visibility analyses. The magnetometric prospection completes the whole image of the site pointing out part of the structures underground, which is an important starting point in future invasive research.
Recent perspectives on a neglected category of heritage. Roman mining in the “Golden Quadrilateral”
Authors: Rumega-Irimuș Vlad
Published: March 2022

Research on mining archaeology in Romania focused – mostly – on the historical interpretation of earlier mentions and very little on proper documentation (archaeological and topographic) of this peculiar type of vestiges. Only in the late 1990’ the first scientific approach to mining archaeology was undertaken in the framework of a Romanian-French cooperation, initially in the area of the Pianu Valley (Alba County) and later in the Roșia Montană – Bucium area, in the context of the “ Alburnus Maior” National Research Program. In this context, the area of the “ Golden Quadrilateral”, especially Roșia Montană, benefitted from a series of systematic mining archaeological research, both on the surface and underground. Despite the important results yielded by the research lasting more than a decade at Roșia Montană, by a national research program (halted later on), the field of ancient mining heritage in the “ Golden Quadrilateral” is deeply neglected, with deep inconsistencies between what is happening in Romania and the international developments in this field. The paper lists the issues approached during the last 15 years concerning mining archaeology and related heritage in Romania, bringing to the public’s attention a new approach concerning the latter’s documentation according to specific international practice.
Some observations on the supposed natural origin of the Divje babe I flute
Authors: Niţu Elena-Cristina
Published: March 2022

The perforated bear femur discovered in the Divje babe I cave in Slovenia is probably one of the most debated Mousterian discoveries. Because the disposition of perforations makes it look like a flute, many researchers tried to find explanations as to how these perforations were made and a large number of studies have focused on demonstrating the natural character of perforations. Our paper present the route of this discovery reflected in studies with greater impact, as well as our observations after reviewing such studies. In the multitude of articles aiming at demonstrating the natural character of the flute, no bone with perforations has been proven to be similar to the Divje babe I one up to this moment. It seems that the possibility of the holes having been made by carnivores is even more difficult to demonstrate than the anthropic origin of the holes, even in the absence of visible tool marks.
With Regard to the Geometrical Motifs with Antropomorphic Semantics Identified in the Neo-Eneolithic Visual Creation on the Territory of Romania. I. The Point and the Line
Authors: Rădoescu Livian
Published: March 2022

The prehistoric visual creation, with certain elements of spirituality, is the mark of a complex symbolic behavior, characterised by the use of the same artistic canons in the Upper Paleolithic until the Neolithic, in spaces and various cultural areas, which explains the identity of some decorative motifs, of geometric structure. These plastic elements, genuine symbols with antropomorphic semantics, represent the hidden motive of a sacred geometry through which it was reflected the multivalency of the archetypes and also and the perenniality of the iconographic themes represented in the prehistoric artistic creation.
The Specifics of the “Animal Style” in the Decorative and Applied Art of the Forest Kama and Ural Population in the Early Iron Epoch
Authors: Ivanov Vladimir Aleksandrovich
Published: March 2022

The article poses a question whether it is appropriate to use the notion “animal style” to refer to the decorative and applied art of the forest Ural and Kama population in the early Iron Epoch representing the Ananyino, Kara-Abyz, Pyanobor and Glyadenovo cultures. Using the method of comparative and statistical analysis, the author shows that the artefacts of the above archeological cultures with the depictions of animals differ, first of all, by their functions : the Ananyino culture is characterized by applique plaques decorating a suit, the Kara-Abyz culture – by plaques for decorating belts, the Glyadenovo culture -by sacrificial objects, while the in the Pyanobor culture, there are no such artefacts at all. Second, the repertoire of the “animal style” images of this population also differs : a bear in the Ananyino culture, a goat/horse – in the Kara-Abyz culture, and a wolf/dog – in the Glyadenovo culture. The author concludes that the “animal style” samples in the decorative art of the forest Ural and Kama population have rather sacral (amulets, talismans, apotropaions, charms etc.) than aesthetic meaning unlike the animal style in the art of early Eurasian nomads (Scytho-Siberian).
Bohai (Parhae) Studies in the Soviet Union at 1980s
Authors: Kim Alexander
Published: March 2022

The history of Bohai studies in Russia is more than 150 years old. But only at 1980s. Soviet specialists paid attention to different Bohai-related fields and developed research at many aspects. Russian scholars combine the use of written sources with the study of materials from archaeological sites, an approach which is evidently impossible for students in the Republic of Korea or in Japan until 2000s. In spite of this, Soviet Bohai studies remain practically unknown in the Western academic world, largely because most Soviet scholars do not publish in English. The goal of this article is to trace the history of Bohai studies in Soviet Union at 1980s. show the specifics of the Russian approach to the issue.

The paper aims at reviving and bringing into a new focus the highly complex issues raised by the chronology of the first Muşatin stone fortresses (the Şcheia, Suceava and Neamţ fortresses). While a throughout analysis of the context these fortresses were raised reveals determining factors and conjectural political consequences, some details, brought into light both by archaeological researches undertaken on these fortifications and some related logical connections, raise significant doubts on the chronological succesion of the first Moldavian monetary emissions. The paper starts from the excursus published in our study on the genesis of outer Carpathian medieval towns, later unfolded in a presentation at the national symposium The Monument – tradition and future, in Iaşi.

Neagoe Săcuianu, un grand dignitaire de Dâmboviţa de la deuxième moitié du XVIIe siècle. Repères généalogiques et cursus honorum
Authors: Păduraru Marius
Published: March 2022

Dans ces quelques pages, nous avons essayé d’esquisser deux aspects importants de la biographie d’un important boyard valaque du XVIIe siècle, originaire du département de Dâmboviţa, promu aux fonctions des plus hauts dignitaires par le prince Constantin Serban : sa généalogie et sa carrière politique. Neagoe Săcuianu a été fidèle au fils illégitime de Radu Serban l'accompagnant dans l’exile, après la perte du trône, probablement jusqu'aux premiers mois de 1664, en Hongrie et en Pologne, allant même jusqu’à Moscou, en tant qu’ambassadeur, ce qui nous permet de supposer qu’il parlait plusieurs langues étrangères. Pour le remercier de ses services, l'ancien prince valaque lui avait fait don du village de Bărbăteşti en Teleorman, pour la possession duquel le dignitaire entra en conflit direct avec Şerban Cantacuzino, chef du parti des Cantacuzènes. Celui-ci avait revendiqué cette propriété, se considérant autorisé, en raison de ses relations familiales avec Constantin Serban, par sa mère, Elina, épouse du postelnic (sénéchal) Constantin Cantacuzino et fille légitime de Radu Serban. Cet aspect a certainement constitué un des facteurs déterminants de la position de Neagoe Săcuianu dans le groupe adverse des boyards, celui des Băleanu ‒ Leurdeanu, mais il n''en était pas le seul, la parenté avec les importantes familles de Băleanu et Bucşanu de Dambovita – dans ce dernier cas, l’alliance entre les deux familles étant obtenue par le mariage de Bălaşa, fille unique de Neagoe Săcuianu, arrivée à la maturité – avec le clucer (intendant) Badea Bucşanu – ayant également compté. Non dernièrement, ses qualités personnelles, telles que la constance, la loyauté, la persuasion, la justesse de ses raisonnements, qui lui ont été reconnues par les princes régnants de l’époque, nous le présentent comme un redoutable homme politique, un militaire de grande valeur et un diplomate habile, et expliquent son ascension dans les dignités jusqu’au plus haut niveau, celui de „grand ban”.

Enfin, nous sommes maintenant en mesure de mieux comprendre, à la fin de cette étude, pourquoi Neagoe Săcuianu a été préféré par le groupe de boyards au nom duquel avait agi et s’était porté comme candidat au trône, sous le règne d’Antoine de Popeşti, témérité pour laquelle il avait payé par sa destitution du divan (conseil) princier après le 9 juin 1669, par la privation temporaire de liberté et par la coupure du nez.
Towards the end of the Romanian Middle Ages: The instauration of the Phanariote regime in Moldavia and Wallachia (1711/1716)
Authors: Oncescu Iulian
Published: March 2022

For more than one hundred years (1711/ 1716-1821), the history of Moldavia and Wallachia was deeply marked by the realities generated through the installation and evolution of the Phanariote regime. This new political regime instituted in the Romanian Principalities (1711/1716) was actually the answer and the solution adopted by the Ottoman Empire to the new political situation emerged at the end of the 17th century and especially at the beginning of the 18th century in the area of Central and South-East Europe. The Phanariote solution practically represented a compromise between the older suzerainty of the Romanian Principalities and the institution of a direct Ottoman dominion.

The paper refers to the macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic mineralogical study of the plasters with pigments which decorate the funerary chamber walls of the early Hellenistic tomb in Documaci Mound, a large tumulus researched in the vicinity of Mangalia (ancient Kallatis). The analyses were undertaken as part of a larger interdisciplinary research project, conducted by the Archaeology Institute “ Vasile Pârvan” from Bucharest, during 2017-2019. The main purpose of the presented geoarcaheological approach was to provide a general geological description and to identify the mineral compounds, as basis for a multidisciplinary characterization of the archaeological objective and a proper positioning in the historical reference period.
L’Habitat fortifié sur la frontière romaine présaharienne en Algérie orientale (Oasis des Ziban, Algérie)
Authors: Haoui Samira , Chergui Samia
Published: March 2022

Fortified settlement on the pre-Saharan Roman border in eastern Algeria between the 11th and 18th centuries. (Oasis of Ziban, Algeria). The fortified settlements on the foothills of the Zab Mountains occupy a geographical area which has long kept its status as a zone of cultural contact. In fact, after having belonged to the furthermost reaches of the Roman Empire, the pre-Saharan Zab made up the western boundary of Ifriqiyah with its location in the Gemellae sector in the south of Numidia . The intermingling of these two cultures inevitably led to the production of a Ziban landscape with its own characteristics. This article aims to go beyond a simple classification of the morphological attributes in the establishments situated on the left bank of the River Djedi, in the ancient confines of Numidia, to link the form of their dwellings with ancient Ziban lime structures, medieval principles of territorial division and the demands of irrigation. The cross-checking of texts concerning the historical geography of the Medieval and Ottoman eras, with material data from both excavations and the interpretation of cartographic records, together with the findings of on site surveys and investigations, has resulted in the formation of a corpus on these agglomerations in the western Zab Valley, while highlighting their fortified and hierarchical character. An analysis of the plans from historical records identified the morphological and functional attributes of all the establishments in this corpus of study, which resulted in their final classification into two groups : “ main” towns or “ secondary” agglomerations.
Relations between the Bohai people and the Koryŏ kingdom
Authors: Kim Alexander
Published: March 2022

The issue of relations between the Bohai people after the destruction of their state in AD 926 and the southern neighboring state, Koryŏ, is a very complicated and important one for understanding the fate of ethnic groups in East Asia. As is known, after 926 many Bohai people immigrated to Koryŏ, because they considered this state a comfortable place to live. However, after a century the situation changed and the Bohai people preferred to live in other regions. This article considers the reasons for the movement of the population from the former Bohai state and analyzes the specifics of the relations between the Bohai population and the Koryŏ kingdom.
Prince Negru Vodă, a Mediaeval Figure as Mirrored by the Romanian Enlightenment and Romanticism
Authors: Cârciumaru Radu
Published: March 2022

Negru Vodă remains one of the most enigmatic figures of Romanian history. It is certainly the reason that he has been the focus of historical investigations ever since the dawn of modernity. In the absence of documents that should guide one through the mists of those times, the Romanian Enlightenment and Romanticism built a false perception of the beginnings of the first Romanian mediaeval state. Negru Vodă is thus seen as being a member of the Basarab family or as the voivode who raised most of the urban centres in Wallachia. This paper aims to identify the main fallacies of the representatives of this historiography and emphasise such representatives as Gheorghe Șincai and Nicolae Bălcescu, who understood that, in the absence of sources, more moderation is required.
Outcrops of Exotic Raw Material in the Bistrița Valley (north-eastern Romania) used in the Palaeolithic
Authors: Cârciumaru Marin , Miclăuș Crina , Alexandru Smeu Andrei
Published: March 2022

This article deals with a number of raw material sources less commonly used by Palaeolithic populations in the Bistrița valley, such as amber and serpentinite. Artefacts made from such rocks have been found in the Gravettian from Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț site. The identification of outcrops of this kind of materials in the Bistrița valley prompts one to reflect upon the possibility of some of them having been used as local sources.
Military organization of Wallachia from the first Basarabs until the beginning of the 16th century
Authors: Neagoe Claudiu
Published: March 2022

The Romanian medieval sources do not provide us with information about the measures taken by the first leaders of Wallachia to organize the army. However, from the accounts of some travellers or foreign chroniclers from the 15th-17th centuries, we find out about the composition of the Wallachian army at that time : the " big army" of the country, made up of free peasants and vassals, the " small army" made up of the prince’s noblemen and high officials, the troops of the great boyars and, to a smaller extent, the troops of foreign mercenaries.

Communication between parents and their adult children’s value system
Authors: Komorowska-Pudło Marta , Sameluk Agnieszka
Published: March 2022

The value system of every human being, i.e. what is valuable and most important to them, is closely related to the quality of their functioning. This paper presents an analysis of selected family determinants of shaping the value system in young adults. For this purpose, a study was conducted among 252 men and 252 women and it was determined to what extent the quality of the marital communication of parents (measured by the Marriage Communication Questionnaire by Maria Kaźmierczak and Mieczysław Plopa), assessed retrospectively by them, is related to the choice of their preferred values ​​described by Max. Scheler. The research only to some extent confirmed this relationship. They show that the higher the respondents rated the quality of their parents' marital communication, the more often they chose the most important moral values, and depending on their gender, also the values ​​of truth, aesthetic, secular and religious ones.
Rise of gender identity disorders among children and adolescents- data from 10 countries
Authors: Marianowicz-Szczygiel Agnieszka
Published: March 2022

There is growing number of publications pointing to the global trend of a significant increase in people who identify differently to their biological sex. Children and adolescents are a particularly sensitive group here, as their identity is still under development. These trends are also reaching Poland. Parents and state services involved in the upbringing and education may be surprised and unprepared. There is small number of analyzes of these trends, especially in the context of the already available knowledge about gender identity disorders and further practical recommendations. The first part of the article presents epidemiological data illustrating the occurrence of gender identity disorders in the population. The methodological challenge was to define a reliable criterion illustrating the strength and scope of the observed changes in epidemiology among children and adolescents and at the same time enabling international comparisons of data from autonomous and world-wide clinics as the problem is the data availability at all. The article presents data on the explosion of gender identity disorders in children and adolescents based on the criterion of number of referrals to youth clinics from 8 countries: Sweden - an increase of 19,700%, Italy - 7,200%, Great Britain - 2,457%, the Netherlands - 904% and outside Europe: Australia - 12,650%, Canada - 538%, USA - 275%, and New Zealand - 187% (the article gives the exact time range). This data were also subjected to qualitative analysis (gender and age of reports, number of referrals versus diagnoses). The explanations given in the scientific literature were also collected and analyzed in relation to the available knowledge about the genesis of gender dysphoria, which, according to research, is predominantly of environmental origin. Both the scale of the trend and additional qualitative analyzes (change of the clinical picture and the inflow to clinics, especially of teenage girls), indicate that this trend cannot be explained only by an increase in social awareness, but also by the inducing influence of media and culture (additional studies that support these conclusions are mentioned). The article provides an overview of the available knowledge in the field of the epidemiology of gender identity disorders, especially in children and adolescents, and helps to define practical steps, especially in the neglected area of ​​prevention, which is crucial from the point of view of parents.

Authors:   Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Ergotherapy, Physical Medicine and Sports, Faculty of Medicine, Trakia University, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, Мratskova Galina
Published: March 2022

There is an increasing number of patients surviving SARS-CoV-2 infection who have no evidence of acute infection but who continue to have symptoms that persist and shape the post COVID-19 symptoms (PCS). Musculoskeletal symptoms (MSK), as part of the PCS, lead to reduced functional activity and cause prolonged suffering. The purpose of this review is to identify the main MSK symptoms in PCS and to review physical interventions that may have a beneficial effect in reducing MSK complaints and increasing functional activity in PCS. Materials and methods: A review of the literature was performed, including articles about MSK symptoms in patients with PCS and the possible physical interventions used in rehabilitation of these patients, with impact on symptoms, functional capacity, and functional activity. The scientific articles research took place in the bibliographic database of PubMed. The search results were found for: post-COVID-19 (PCS) syndrome, long COVID, post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), chronic COVID syndrome (CCS), Musculoskeletal symptom, Pain post-COVID, physical function, Rehabilitation post-COVID, exercise, physical activity, functional capacity, traditional Chinese medicine. Results: The review found evidence of prolonged persistence of MSK symptoms as part of PCS syndrome. Fatigue, myalgia, back, waist and neck pain and arthralgia (pain in the peripheral joints) are the most reported symptoms. Data showing the need for rehabilitation and the positive effect of physical therapy and therapeutic exercises in patients with PCS to reduce pain and increase functional activity was found. Conclusion: Increasing physical activity in patients with PCS is likely to have a beneficial effect on general conditioning, physical function, and functional recovery, helping to overcome the effects of infection, reducing pain, and reducing emotional stress. Individually targeted physical interventions are recommended, including multimodal programs, exercises for overall muscle strengthening, increasing joint stability, cycling training, Individually targeted physical interventions are recommended, including multimodal programs, exercises for overall muscle strengthening, increasing joint stability, cycling training, electrical modalities -Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for pain symptoms. Rehabilitation should be applied after detailed functional assessment and shaped be carried out with the participation of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team. The development of appropriate rehabilitation strategies will allow the achievement of optimal functional recovery and increased functional activity, satisfactory to the patient and will reduce the economic burden of prolonged reduced work capacity.

Published: March 2022

With this paper, we wanted to determine the prevalence of episiotomy in the completion of childbirth in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of the General Hospital in Vranje in the twenty-five-year period (1996-2021), and this is the period since it is recommended to abandon routine episiotomy. We also wanted to compare the obtained results with the results of similar studies by other authors and thus determine whether the general trend of reduced use of this obstetric operation due to the numerous complications that its use causes, exists in our country. Retrospective analysis includes data obtained from birth protocols with special reference to patients born vaginally and their parity. Childbirth completed using a vacuum extractor and caesarean section were analyzed separately. Such births for the first and last year of the examined period were presented and analyzed (1996, 2021). Aggregate data for both years were also analyzed. The obtained results are expressed numerically and presented using tables. Based on the data, it was concluded that the total number of births decreased, that the number of cesarean sections increased, that episiotomy in vaginal delivery was the most common among primiparous women and that episiotomy was significantly higher in our sample than in other studies.

The technique with socket shield is used like not total extraction therapy which is based on preserving segment from one of the sides on the root from the tooth that is going to be extracted. The main use of this technique is in cases for implant placement that is combined with grafting bone. The goal of this technique is to preserve as much as possible tissue from the periodontal ligament and also to spare the gingival tissue from unnecessary damaging during the therapy. Indications for this technique are : 1. To support and to preserve buccofacial bone part of extraction socket in cases that require immediate implants.2. Socket shield technique is indicated in cases with vertical fractures of teeth that are without any pathology of the pulpal tissue, where the bone tissue sparing and also attractive look are a main goal.3. To preserve the papilla between the placed dental implants. In spite of that to have a full success of this therapy is required to have enough bone tissue that will allow stability of the future implant and also absence of any kind of infection. The advantages from application of this technique are many, such as prevention from resorption of the lamellar bone, high aesthetics results, improved primary stability of the future implant, minimal invasiveness during the procedure, prevention from forming a connective tissue with the implant, low cost compared with other procedures etc. There are also disadvantages such as possibility of displacement of the buccal lamellar bone. The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency of this socket shield approach in immediate implant treatment. This study was based on Narrative review on published surveys, using PubMed, Medscape, Webmd, Mdconsult, Emedicine data bases. The preservation of the whole attachment apparatus of the tooth to maintain complete preservation of the alveolar bone tissue, makes the socket shield approach a very good technique that results with high level efficiency. The clinical outcomes from different studies is believed for this technique to be the best approach for alveolar ridge sparing in the future and also to use as less material as possible.

In line with the thematic understanding of architecture as a “form of social action,”the work outlined in this poster explores the pedagogical role of design as a primary agent in redefining contemporary ethical issues. More specifically, this research examines the humanitarian situation involving the refugee’s crisis, with particular emphasis on theSyria’s civil war, which has created one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time displacing over 12 million people.
Barn-House: Affordable House- Undocumented Immigrant Workers + Family
Authors:   University of Texas at Arlington, Chiessa Dennis
Published: March 2022

There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States and housing for a large number of them is becoming a social problem that they themselves have to begin to solve. The political climate around the issue of immigration has made it more difficult for undocumented individuals to demand adequate housing from their landlords. Several cities have tried to pass laws that punish property owners that rent to undocumented tenants.
Sea-Level Hi-Rise: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Climate Change
Authors:   Temple University, Kaprielian Gabriel

The urban edge that defines the San FranciscoBay is a contested landscape whose boundaries are continually changing, both in form and in definition. Much like the tidal flux of theBay wetlands, the urbanized waterfront can extend and recede. Over the years, the BayArea has seen a large portion of the historic wetlands filled or leveed off for residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. With current sea-level rise projections, it appears that the water will once again reclaim the bay lands that have been filled.
Soft States: Experimental, Highly-Textured Concrete Architectural Panels
Authors:   American University of Sharjah, Kalo Ammar
Published: March 2022

While digital fabrication techniques have the potential to automate processes and increase material efficiency, there are very few examples that produce complex highly-textured concrete surfaces without requiring countless hours of explicit modeling and CNC milling.The pedagogical decision to not use any computer controlled milling machines was to distance the students working on this Design-Build project from relying on the direct information transfer from CAD models to CAM software, and invest more time into exploring material potentials. Using this experimental approach, students spent the first half of the semester developing over 15 methods, before narrowing them down to three. In each cases explored, digital models are used to generate instructions for manual tasks. In addition, they all are meant to produce molds for spraying glass reinforced concrete (GRC), which results in panels that are lighter, thinner, and stronger that traditional concrete panels. Every variable in the process was carefully cataloged and documented to ensure reproducibility.As the prototypes got more developed and refined, students gained an intuitive knowledge of material behavior and tweaked their process variables with confidence to produce predicable results.
Matter of Material Labor: Eladio Dieste and Ruled Surfaces

In his essay, Architecture and Construction,Uruguayan engineer Eladio Dieste recalls a conversation in which a former colleague dismissed the work of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí stating that “Gaudi’s work has nothing do with us — in fact, I wouldn’t know how to draw one of his buildings”.2 This statement highlights what Dieste called the “tyranny of the drawing board” and the resulting technological dominance of planar geometries inmost modern and contemporary architecture.This dominance has had an effect on the separation between material knowledge and the conditions that shape the relationship among geometry, material, and labor.

Many aspects of our physical environment are becoming integrated with information systems, a phenomenon that has been referred to as the “The Internet of Things(IoT).” In Architecture, IoT can be understood asa seamless combination of data-driven design, data analysis, and adaptive systems. AdaptiveSystems Studio, composed of 17 graduate architecture and 14 undergraduate interior design students led by one architecture and interior design faculty, seeks to develop new methods of architectural design by using information-based toolsets.
inter[face]: Athenaeum Redux

Richard Sennett in The Private Realm offers,“the difference between public and private lies in the amount of knowledge one person or group has about others; as in a family, one knows others well and close up, whereas in a public realm one does not; incomplete knowledge joins to anonymity in the public realm.”This idea of access to knowledge can also be applied to the content of private institutions. The Athenaeum, a private, members-only, library and museum collects and displays world-class artifacts to its members. To invert this private/public condition, we propose to move the interior spaces to the exterior thus blurring the border (as Sennett would call this condition) between inside and outside –knowledge is made accessible to the public. While pushing the knowledge to the periphery we also pull public conditions to the interior of the building.
Affecting Change Through Insurgent Architectures

As pointed out by Wes Janz and Olon Dotson in their paper “Distress Road Tours”, like many rust belt cities, Indianapolis is a place of extremes. Tremendous investment has led to a resurgence of the downtown, and affluent suburbs thrive and grow. In stark contrast the historic neighborhoods that ring the city, the fabric of the place, continue to struggle with significant challenges. There is too much crime and too little neighborhood organization.High drop-out rates lead to low incomes. Poor access to health care exists alongside easy access to low nutrition foods. Like many cities in the region and throughout the world, an eroding manufacturing base, marginal public schools, high crime rates, among other pressures, have all contributed to significant attrition.

Situated at the intersection of two nations, embedded in a mountainside and televised across the US, Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso,Texas demonstrates the role of architecture in the political economy of representation.The hills that compose the stadium and its televisual image are part building, landscape, and media apparatus. A Feigned Translucence builds on this hybridity to challenge the discrepancy in social, political, and economic agency the US/Mexico border creates as well as the imaginations of sovereignty and capital circulation embedded in who/what is (in)visible from the stadium, to whom it is visible, and to what end.
LuxMotus: Physics-based Form Generation in a One-to-One Scale Design Studio
Authors:   Washington State University, Kalantari Saleh
Published: March 2022

This project examines how parametric modeling techniques can be integrated into the conceptual stage of design-build studios, and used as a basis for developing new digital fabrication techniques. Previous studies have shown that parametric modeling can have substantial benefits when used as a drawing generator for digital fabrication; most notably it can enable the designer to experiment with numerous new design and tooling possibilities (Jabi, 2013). The use of parametric modeling to inform these processes has also been described as initiating a “psychological change” in designers’ approach to form creation, and it is often seen as leading to amore adaptive and responsive design outlook(Achten & Kopřiva, 2010). In this paper, digital weaving is considered as a technique for linking parametric-modeling design processes with human-interactive design, and for developing a new tessellation technique in digital fabrication.
