Study of a Current and Voltage Polarization Sensor Network
Authors: Silva Artur de Araujo , Floridia Claudio , Rosolem Joao Batista
Published: July 2021

Sensors based on polarization are suitable for application in power grids due to their excellent characteristics, such as high electrical insulation, non-magnetic saturation, oil-free, no risk of explosive failures, and high bandwidth. Utility companies are incorporating new technologies that are driving the evolution of electrical systems. Thus, it is interesting to evaluate the possibility of using polarization sensors in a network configuration. In this work, we present an experimental study of a current and voltage polarization sensor network applied to a medium voltage distribution grid. The current sensor is based on the Faraday effect, and the voltage sensor uses the Pockels effect. Both sensors use a 90° polarization degree between the two output ports to compensate for the various impairments on the measurements by applying the difference-over-sum. The network uses a DWDM topology centered at the 1550 nm range, and both current and voltage sensors in this work used this spectral band. We evaluated the sensor node in terms of accuracy according to IEC standard 61869-10 and IEC standard 61869-11. Considering that an important application of this sensor network is in the aerial cable of medium voltage networks, sensor node accuracy was also estimated in the presence of cable vibration. The calculated power budget of the proposed network indicates that reaching ten nodes of current and voltage sensors in a 10 km optical link is possible, which is enough for a medium urban voltage distribution network.

Published: July 2021

Poor sleep quality or disturbed sleep is associated with multiple health conditions. Sleep position affects the severity and occurrence of these complications, and positional therapy is one of the less invasive treatments to deal with them. Sleep positions can be self-reported, which is unreliable, or determined by using specific devices, such as polysomnography, polygraphy or cameras, that can be expensive and difficult to employ at home. The aim of this study is to determine how smartphones could be used to monitor and treat sleep position at home. We divided our research into three tasks: (1) develop an Android smartphone application (‘SleepPos’ app) which monitors angle-based high-resolution sleep position and allows to simultaneously apply positional treatment; (2) test the smartphone application at home coupled with a pulse oximeter; and (3) explore the potential of this tool to detect the positional occurrence of desaturation events. The results show how the ‘SleepPos’ app successfully determined the sleep position and revealed positional patterns of occurrence of desaturation events. The ‘SleepPos’ app also succeeded in applying positional therapy and preventing the subjects from sleeping in the supine sleep position. This study demonstrates how smartphones are capable of reliably monitoring high-resolution sleep position and provide useful clinical information about the positional occurrence of desaturation events.

Published: July 2021

Smart energy technologies, services, and business models are being developed to reduce energy consumption and emissions of CO2 and greenhouse gases and to build a sustainable environment. Renewable energy is being actively developed throughout the world, and many intelligent service models related to renewable energy are being proposed. One of the representative service models is the energy prosumer. Through energy trading, the demand for renewable energy and distributed power is efficiently managed, and insufficient energy is covered through energy transaction. Moreover, various incentives can be provided, such as reduced electricity bills. However, despite such a smart service, the energy prosumer model is difficult to expand into a practical business model for application in real life. This is because the production price of renewable energy is higher than that of the actual grid, and it is difficult to accurately set the selling price, restricting the formation of the actual market between sellers and consumers. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a small-scale energy transaction model between a seller and a buyer on a peer-to-peer (P2P) basis. This model employs a virtual prosumer management system that utilizes the existing grid and realizes the power system in real time without using an energy storage system (ESS). Thus, the profits of sellers and consumers of energy transactions are maximized with an improved return on investment (ROI), and an intelligent demand management system can be established.
A Collaborative Application for Assisting the Management of Household Plastic Waste through Smart Bins: A Case of Study in the Philippines
Authors: Sidhu Navjot , Pons-Buttazzo Alberto , Muñoz Andrés , Terroso-Saenz Fernando
Published: July 2021

The management and collection of household waste often represents a demanding task for elderly or impaired people. In particular, the increasing generation of plastic waste at home may pose a problem for these groups, as this type of waste accumulates very rapidly and occupies a considerable amount of space. This paper proposes a collaborative infrastructure to monitor household plastic waste. It consists of simple smart bins using a weight scale and a smart application that forecasts the amount of plastic generated for each bin at different time horizons out of the data provided by the smart bins. The application generates optimal routes for the waste-pickers collaborating in the system through a route-planning algorithm. This algorithm takes into account the predicted amount of plastic of each bin and the waste-picker’s location and means of transport. This proposal has been evaluated by means of a simulated scenario in Quezon City, Philippines, where severe problems with plastic waste have been identified. A set of 176 experiments have been performed to collect data that allow representing different user behaviors when generating plastic waste. The results show that our proposal enables waste-pickers to collect more than the 80% of the household plastic-waste bins before they are completely full.
CNN-LRP: Understanding Convolutional Neural Networks Performance for Target Recognition in SAR Images
Authors: Zang Bo , Ding Linlin , Feng Zhenpeng , Zhu Mingzhe , Lei Tao , Xing Mengdao , Zhou Xianda
Published: July 2021

Target recognition is one of the most challenging tasks in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image processing since it is highly affected by a series of pre-processing techniques which usually require sophisticated manipulation for different data and consume huge calculation resources. To alleviate this limitation, numerous deep-learning based target recognition methods are proposed, particularly combined with convolutional neural network (CNN) due to its strong capability of data abstraction and end-to-end structure. In this case, although complex pre-processing can be avoided, the inner mechanism of CNN is still unclear. Such a “black box” only tells a result but not what CNN learned from the input data, thus it is difficult for researchers to further analyze the causes of errors. Layer-wise relevance propagation (LRP) is a prevalent pixel-level rearrangement algorithm to visualize neural networks’ inner mechanism. LRP is usually applied in sparse auto-encoder with only fully-connected layers rather than CNN, but such network structure usually obtains much lower recognition accuracy than CNN. In this paper, we propose a novel LRP algorithm particularly designed for understanding CNN’s performance on SAR image target recognition. We provide a concise form of the correlation between output of a layer and weights of the next layer in CNNs. The proposed method can provide positive and negative contributions in input SAR images for CNN’s classification, viewed as a clear visual understanding of CNN’s recognition mechanism. Numerous experimental results demonstrate the proposed method outperforms common LRP.
Thermal (In)stability of Atropine and Scopolamine in the GC-MS Inlet
Authors: Koželj Gordana , Prosen Helena
Published: July 2021

The intoxication due to unintentional or intentional ingestion of plant material containing tropane alkaloids is quite frequent. GC-MS method is still widely used for the identification of these toxicologically important substances in human specimen. During general unknown analysis, high temperature of inlet, at least 270 °C, is commonly used for less volatile substances. Unfortunately, both tropanes are thermally unstable and could be overlooked due to their degradation. The temperature-related degradation of tropanes atropine and scopolamine was systematically studied in the inlet of a GC-MS instrument in the range 110–250 °C by increments of 20 °C, additionally also at 275 °C, and in different solvents. At inlet temperatures not higher than 250 °C, the degradation products were formed by elimination of water and cleavage of atropine’s ester bond. At higher temperatures, elimination of formaldehyde became predominant. These phenomena were less pronounced when ethyl acetate was used instead of methanol, while n-hexane proved unsuitable for several reasons. At an inlet temperature of 275 °C, tropanes were barely detectable. During systematic toxicological analysis, any tropanes’ degradation products should indicate the possible presence of atropine and/or scopolamine in the sample. It is not necessary to prepare thermally stable derivatives for confirmation. Instead, the inlet temperature can be decreased to 250 °C, which diminishes their degradation to a level where their detection and identification are possible. This was demonstrated in several case studies.
Bridging the B Cell Gap: Novel Technologies to Study Antigen-Specific Human B Cell Responses
Authors: Utset Henry A. , Guthmiller Jenna J. , Wilson Patrick C.
Published: July 2021

The generation of high affinity antibodies is a crucial aspect of immunity induced by vaccination or infection. Investigation into the B cells that produce these antibodies grants key insights into the effectiveness of novel immunogens to induce a lasting protective response against endemic or pandemic pathogens, such as influenza viruses, human immunodeficiency virus, or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. However, humoral immunity has largely been studied at the serological level, limiting our knowledge on the specificity and function of B cells recruited to respond to pathogens. In this review, we cover a number of recent innovations in the field that have increased our ability to connect B cell function to the B cell repertoire and antigen specificity. Moreover, we will highlight recent advances in the development of both ex vivo and in vivo models to study human B cell responses. Together, the technologies highlighted in this review can be used to help design and validate new vaccine designs and platforms.

It is unclear whether the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine can induce the development of anti-PF4 antibodies in vaccinated individuals who have not developed thrombosis. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the presence of antibodies against heparin/PF4 in adults who received a first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine, and correlate them with clinical data and antibody responses to the vaccine. We detected non-platelet activating anti-PF4 antibodies in 67% (29/43) of the vaccinated individuals on day 22 following the first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine, though these were detected in low titers. Furthermore, there was no correlation between the presence of anti-PF4 IgG antibodies and the baseline clinical characteristics of the patients. Our findings suggest that the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine can elicit anti-PF4 antibody production even in recipients without a clinical manifestation of thrombosis. The presence of anti-PF4 antibodies was not sufficient to provoke clinically evident thrombosis. Our results offer an important insight into the ongoing investigations regarding the underlying multifactorial pathophysiology of thrombotic events induced by the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine.

Published: July 2021

Selecting a vaccine for fighting a pandemic is one of the serious issues in healthcare. Novel decision models for vaccine selection need to be developed. In this study, a novel vaccine selection decision-making model (VSDMM) was proposed and developed, based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique, which assesses many alternatives (vaccines) using multi-criteria to support decision making. To feed data to the VSDMM, six coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) vaccines were selected in a case study to highlight the applicability of the proposed model. Each vaccine was compared to the others with respect to six criteria and all criteria were compared to calculate the relative weights. The proposed criteria include (1) vaccine availability; (2) vaccine formula; (3) vaccine efficacy; (4) vaccine-related side effects; (5) cost savings, and (6) host-related factors. Using the selected criteria, experts responded to questions and currently available COVID-19 vaccines were ranked according to their weight in the model. A sensitivity analysis was introduced to assess the model robustness and the impacts of changing criteria weights on the results. The VSDMM is flexible in terms of its ability to accept more vaccine alternatives and/or more criteria. It could also be applied to other current or future pandemics/epidemics in the world. In conclusion, this is the first report to propose a VSDMM for selecting the most suitable vaccines in pandemic/epidemic situations or any other situations in which vaccine selection and usage may be deemed necessary.

Published: July 2021

The results of an epidemiological study of typhoid fever in the territory of the uranium biogeochemical zone of the Kyrgyz Republic are presented. The presence of a chronic focus of typhoid fever in the territory of the uranium biogeochemical province with high levels of morbidity has been established. The leading factor in transmission is water, primarily from the Mailuu-Suu river, which is also contaminated with radionuclides. The main feature of typhoid fever in the territory of the uranium biogeochemical province is the registration of cases of diseases throughout the year, which differs from non-polluted areas, where cases are detected only in the warm months. This feature can be associated with the impact of the radiation factor on the pathogen by increasing its resistance, and on the human body by reducing immunological reactivity. This assumption requires more detailed research. For the complete elimination of typhoid fever in the study area, comprehensive measures are required throughout the year, aimed at providing the population with clean drinking water, identifying sources of infection, including bacterial carriers, and their treatment, as well as monitoring bacteriological studies of environmental objects throughout the calendar year.

Research objective - assessment of the impact of working conditions and work experience on the quality of life of furniture production workers. Materials and methods. The assessment of the quality of life of 208 employees of the furniture factory "Maria" under various conditions of the production environment was carried out. The analysis of quality of life indicators for all scales of the SF-36 questionnaire took into account work experience and class of working conditions. Results. When assessing the quality of life of employees of a furniture production company, it is established that the quality of life depends on the class of working conditions. There was a significant decrease in quality of life indicators for those working in harmful working conditions corresponding to class 3.1, according to the SF-36 questionnaire scales responsible for mental health (social functioning, emotional functioning, mental health). When working in harmful working conditions, classified as class 3.2, these indicators tended to decrease not only on the scales of the SF-36 questionnaire, which are responsible for mental health, but also for the physical state of the body (role functioning, General health). At the same time, the dependence of quality of life indicators on the length of service in certain conditions of the labor process was studied. Thus, in the first two years of working in harmful working conditions (class 3.1, 3.2), there was no decrease in the quality of life of furniture production workers. However, when working for more than two years in similar working conditions, there was a significant decrease in the values of indicators of the quality of life of the subjects. Conclusions. It is proved that the longer the work experience in unfavorable working conditions, the lower the quality of life of furniture production workers.Noise as the main production factor in furniture factories, which leads to a decrease in the quality of life.

Este artigo busca analisar algumas estratégias de resistência, que tomamos como inventividades criativas e que possibilitaram a promoção do debate acerca das questões de gênero e de sexualidade em uma escola de Educação Infantil. A partir do filósofo Silvio Gallo, tecemos algumas interlocuções com o conceito de educação menor enquanto uma educação que promove espaços de construção coletiva e que age nas brechas, fazendo emergirem espaços outros, os quais escapem às lógicas e às normas instituídas em direção a uma educação que promova as diferenças de gêneros e de sexualidades. Analisamos três inventividades criativas, ou seja, ações desenvolvidas na escola de Educação Infantil que promoveram a igualdade e a equidade de gênero e sexualidade, a saber: “Tenda Temática”, “Liga da Coruja” e “Ciranda dos Saberes”. Essas inventividades constituíram-se enquanto estratégias de resistência a partir de uma educação menor, a qual exige a criação de espaços outros, espaços coletivos e criativos e que promovam uma educação plural.

Le coquillage et la perle (Varron, Men., 382 Büch.)
Authors: Cèbe Jean-Pierre
Published: July 2021

Le fragment 382 Bücheler des Ménippées de Varron — imperito nonnumquam conca uidetur margarita, uitrum smaragdos — ne vise pas, comme je l’ai conjecturé à tort il y a quelques années, les éloges mensongers dont les auteurs ne savent pas juger les hommes, mais une figure de rhétorique qu’on trouve chez Tibulle, Properce, Ovide, Manilius, Martial et Grattius. Cette manière de métonymie atteste selon Varron un manque de culture et un manque de goût. Elle fut sûrement créée par les neoteroi, que Varron critique à plusieurs reprises, en particulier dans la satire Papia papae d’où provient le passage étudié.

Eras and Coinage (44 BC-AD 69)

After the all but simultaneous publication of Roman Provincial Coinage , I, and W. Leschhorn’s comprehensive book Antike Ären (1992/1993), this study investigates the chronological references on oriental coins from the death of Caesar to the death of Vitellius. In anciens times indeed the date could be given either by yearly magistrale offices or by regnal cycles or — here we are — from terminus which created eras in a linear and indefinite manner. Among dynastic eras we tentatively emphasized the oldest one, that is to say, the Seleucid era, initiated in 312 BC ; provincial eras were in use as well in Asia (first in 133 BC, then under Sylla), as in Syria (longliving Pompeian campaigns) ; at last, Victory eras were computed after the decisive Pharsalus and Actium battles.

Nowadays numismatic and epigraphic data don’t always agree with each other, but we still need to complete systematically the documentation.
Un épisode embarrassant de l’histoire d’Alexandre : la prise de Thèbes
Authors: Jouanno Corinne
Published: July 2021

Die Einnahme Thebens

Die Belagerung Thebens gehört zu den dunklen Kapiteln der Geschichte Alexanders, wie die häufig formulierte Kritik der Historiker des Eroberers und die Umgestaltung der Episode zum pathetischen Topos in den Rhetorik-Handbüchern bezeugen. Sie nimmt jedoch in der ältesten Fassung des Alexanderromans weiten Raum ein (Text A), ist aber zum Ruhme des Eroberers verändert und um frei erfundene mythisch und erbaulich getönte Erzählungen erweitert. Sie wird von allen späteren Rezensionen beibehalten, wenn auch in abgekürzter Form, gibt aber doch zu Neufassungen Anlass, die bald von dem Willen geleitet sind, Geschichts-und Romantraditionen zu vereinbaren, bald von dem Wunsch, die mythische Note zu betonen. Doch aile aufeinanderfolgenden Veränderungen der Episode haben eine Gemeinsamkeit : den entschiedenen Willen, nur die positive Seite des Alexandermythos zu illustrieren.
Sénèque et les problèmes de la ville
Authors: André Jean-Marie
Published: July 2021

Avec l’irrésistible urbanisation de Rome, les problèmes de la ville sont entrés dans la culture : dans les débats des écoles de rhétorique, dans les controverses philosophiques, dans les antithèses du genre comique même sur la valeur respective de la uita urbana et de la uita rustica. Sénèque connaît peu les grandes capitales du monde antique autres que Rome. Stoïcien, il adhère certes à l’idée des beautés de la planète, qui incluent les situs urbium et les conquêtes de l’intelligence et de la technique humaines. Mais pour l’essentiel son œuvre est dominée par le thème topique des misères et des laideurs de la Ville. Des Consolations aux Dialogues et aux lettres, les topiques littéraires deviennent des expériences vivantes, voire essentielles ; la ville est particulièrement vulnérable aux violences de la nature ou du sort : tremblement de terre, incendie, éboulement..., incendium ac ruina... Rome a souvent brûlé au Ier siècle. La Rome de Néron, grand chantier permanent, est un enfer de tapage ; la concentration de la turba développe l’épidémie. La grande ville est aussi pernicieuse pour la santé physique que pour la vertu : elle concentre et attise les vices, encourage la jouissance et la paresse (luxuria/ otium urbanum). Le problème est de savoir si Sénèque, dans cette peinture pessimiste, est tributaire du lyrisme hellénistique, de la philosophie «contemplative» d’un Philon ou d’un Musonius Rufus, voire des rêves romains d’évasion campagnarde et de bonheur qui noircissent le tableau de la Ville, ou si la culture, y compris la culture oratoire, ne fait que refléter la réalité sociologique.
Sur la malice d’Hérodote
Authors: Casevitz Michel
Published: July 2021

Herodotus is considered as a writer and not as an historian : we took into account the way he told tales for the enjoyment of the hearer-reader. Malicious without malice, he uses often irony so as to distance himself from his tale, from his characters and from the whole of mankind ; by playing on words and using hapax legomena he tries to pass on his own pleasure. The samples come first of all from the first book.
La notion de θῶμα chez Hérodote
Authors: Hunzinger Christine
Published: July 2021

Cette étude vise, dans un premier temps, à établir une typologie des objets qui constituent un thôma dans l’œuvre d’Hérodote, puis à montrer la diversité des réactions des sujets étonnés, narrateur ou personnages : l’émerveillement apparaît comme un sentiment ambivalent, tantôt éblouissement crédule, marque d’un défaut de savoir, tantôt étonnement stimulant pour la réflexion. Le thôma assume pourtant une fonction importante dans l’œuvre, en tant qu’effet stylistique pour séduire le public, critère historiographique permettant une sélection de la matière, principe de légitimation de l’entreprise de l’historien, et enfin comme moyen de véhiculer un sens sur l’histoire des conquêtes.
De κράτος à δημοκρατίη. Une famille de mots chez Hérodote
Authors: Breuil Jean-Luc
Published: July 2021

In Herodotus’ work, the κρατ- words have not yet truly differentiated meanings : the notion of «superiority» is present everywhere. Their vitality is very variable : the κράτος substantive appears as an archaic term, with a strong meaning and set uses ; κρατέω and its compounds are in full development ; the κρατ- anthroponyms are very frequent and have a laudatory connotation ; we can find the oldest occurrences of ίσοκρατίη, “system were equal men govern”, with a laudatory value, and of δημοκρατίη, which, in our author, refers to “a system where the power is possessed by all the citizens», without qualitative connotation ; this quite new word is in competition with others to refer to this new system of government.
De l’Olympe à l’Ida : le Zeus des sommets
Authors: Woronoff Michel
Published: July 2021

Zeus’s amazing partiality to Hector and the Trojans puzzles the critics and, in the Iliad, rouses Achaeans’ and Hera’s indignation. And yet, as the Master of Olympus, Zeus appears as an impartial referee : he only ascertains the obvious Achaean superiority. Olympus is his dwelling, as well as that of the other gods, and, whether described as a high peak covered by dazzling snow or as a cloudy abode, it is in any way inaccessible for men. Mt. Ida, on the contrary, is a pleasant mountain, with an easy access, where Zeus owns his sanctuary and the Trojans worship him. Now, from Ida does Zeus act repeatedly to help Hector and the Trojans, through Apollo and Iris. Tension is extreme between the Olympians, around Hera, and the Zeus of the Ida. But the Mountain and Weather God, protector of the Troad, gradually mingled with the Heaven God, Father of gods and men, must let Fate be fulfilled and Ilios go to its ruin.
Une rivalité narrative : Hélène et Ménélas au chant IV de l’Odyssée (219-289)
Authors: Rabau Sophie
Published: July 2021

How are we to interpret the apparent conflict between Helen and Menelaus that arises in Odyssey, IV, 219-289, when they successively recount stories of Odysseus’ exploit in Troy ? We suggest that what is at stake in this passage is not only the content of those tales but also the control of narration. Helen usurps here an unjustified power over narration. In his response, Menelaus corrects this abuse of narrative authority.
Mithradates VI. Eupator von Pontos. Der letzte große Monarch der hellenistischen Welt und sein Scheitern an der römischen Macht
Authors: Strobel Karl
Published: July 2021

Jusqu’en 89, voire jusqu’en 88, Mithridate VI suit une politique conforme à celle de son père Mithridate V, qui respecte les structures politiques du monde hellénistique tardif. Il a donc évité le conflit avec Rome et, au début de 89, s’est encore incliné devant le sénat. La première phase de la première guerre de Mithridate (en 89) fut un acte de défense légitime contre l’agression bithynienne, à laquelle les responsables romains ont pris part sans autorisation formelle du sénat. Ce n’est qu’avec l’attaque de la province romaine d’Asie et le massacre d’Ephèse ainsi qu’avec l’extension à la Grèce du théâtre des opérations que M. a abandonné sa ligne politique traditionnelle. On ne saurait assurer qu’il a longuement préparé une guerre contre Rome. Au contraire les tendances agressives de Nicomède IV de Bithynie sont manifestes. M. a agi dans le cadre de la situation qui régnait dans le monde hellénistique depuis la paix d’Apamée. Celle-ci déterminait évidemment son appréciation de l’adversaire romain. Incontestable est cependant l’erreur de jugement qui amène M. en 88 à la rupture irrémédiable avec Rome. La réplique de celle-ci a été retardée par la guerre civile et même interrompue par la paix syllanienne de Dardanos. Mais, la paix n’ayant pas été ratifiée, la reprise de la guerre n’est qu’une question de temps. La deuxième guerre de Mithridate en est l’épilogue. Au plus tard en 78 la reprise de la guerre était prévisible ; M. se prépare donc au combat. La mort de Nicomède IV, l’établissement de la province romaine de Bithynie et, en 74, l’envoi en Asie mineure des deux consuls en exercice, qui équivalent en fait à une déclaration de guerre, font réagir M., qui lance une attaque préventive. Jusqu’en 80, comme déjà en 90-89, il s’était efforcé d’éviter une confrontation avec Rome. Après 78, il n’a plus le choix, et, en 74-73, la question n’es plus que savoir qui des deux déclenchera les hostilités.

Un témoignage sur l’économie domaniale près d’Arles au début de l’Empire ? Un membre d’un collège de fabri à Barbegal (Fontvieille, Bouches-du-Rhône)
Authors: Gascou Jacques , Leveau Philippe
Published: July 2021

Une inscription provenant vraisemblablement d’une nécropole proche de l’ensemble hydraulique du Vallon des Arcs et de Barbegai, dans le territoire antique d’Arles, et datant approximativement du début de la période julio-claudienne, a récemment été découverte. Elle mentionne un personnage, sans doute un esclave, qui est dit fabrorum, c’est-à-dire «faisant partie des fabri», qui élève un monument funéraire à son fils. Il est probable que le personnage faisait partie d’un collège de fabri, puisque l’on sait que les esclaves n’étaient pas exclus des collèges professionnels. On connaît à Arles un collège de fabri tign(u)arii et un collège de fabri nauales, mais à une époque plus tardive (au plus tôt fin du Ier siècle). Il est à présumer que l’esclave de l’inscription de Barbegal est le témoin, jusqu’à présent unique, de la corporation des fabri qui a précédé à Arles ces deux collèges et dont ces derniers sont directement issus. D’autre part, l’esclave et son fils devaient appartenir à la familia d’un riche arlésien possessionné dans la région de Barbegal et dont le tombeau familial devait se trouver là. Ce personnage, propriétaire d’une familia servile qui comptait non seulement des ouvriers agricoles, mais aussi des ouvriers du bâtiment, a pu contribuer à la construction de l’aqueduc du Vallon des Arcs et de Barbegal. À côté de l’intervention impériale, la place de la ville et de ses évergètes dans la construction des aqueducs ne doit pas être sous-estimée.
Dédicaces religieuses et itinéraires géographiques. Le procurateur C. Sempronius Urbanus et la Bétique à la fin du IIe siècle après J.-C
Authors: Dardaine Sylvie
Published: July 2021

At Sarmizegetusa the gods mentionned on altars given by C. Sempronius Urbanus are typical of some areas of the Roman world : Dacia, of which he was procurator about 182-185, Ostia, where he was subpraefectus uigilum, the north-east of Gaul and the meridional Hispania. From these data suppositions can make about the equestrian procurator ’s origin and career.

In modern conditions of the development of public relations and political life, criminal activity in Ukraine is changing and transforming. In such transformational conditions, the commission of political crimes by members of informal youth groups is becoming more widespread. Given the above, the need to analyze political crimes committed by members of informal youth groups, methods, and means of combating such crimes, including foreign positive experience, becomes especially relevant. The work aims to analyze the means and methods of combating political crimes committed by members of such groups. The object of the research is the fight against political crimes committed by members of informal youth groups. The subject of the study is the social relations that arise, change, and end during the fight against political crimes committed by members of these groups. The research methodology is a set of different scientific methods, including observation, analysis, synthesis, extrapolation, generalization, comparison, dialectical method. The empirical basis of the study was the materials of the investigation of crimes committed by members of informal youth groups. As a result of the study, some issues of combating political crimes committed by members of informal youth groups were considered. Three main reasons for the participation of informal youth groups in political confrontations are highlighted, and certain issues of investigation of this type of criminal activity are considered.
