Published: December 2022

This study examined the anatomical features of Anacardiaceae from Malaysia. A total of 31 species from 13 genera of the family Anacardiaceae in Malaysia were obtained from Kepong Xylarium (KEPw), Forest Research Institute Malaysia. The genera in Anacardiaceae were distinguished based on anatomical features. The diagnostic anatomical features that were used to separate the genera are scalariform perforations plates present in Campnosperma, larger rays in Pentaspadon and Spondias, and radial canals in some genera. Mineral inclusion, i.e., crystals and silica also could be diagnostic features to distinguish the genera in Malaysian Anacardiaceae; silica was observed in Gluta, Parishia, and Swintonia. Anatomical features could be used as indicators to the other wood properties and lead to potential usage of timber in Anacardiaceae. However, the presence of druses in individual Toxicodendron succedaneum indicated its adaptation to the local microclimatic conditions.
Rice straw as a source of nanocellulose for sustainable food packaging materials: A Review
Authors: Islam Makdud , Saini Praveen , Das Rahul , Shekhar Shubhra , Sinha Akhouri Sanjay Kumar , Prasad Kamlesh
Published: December 2022

Asian countries, despite being the largest producers and yielding a significant proportion of the world’s rice, have poor disposal facilities for the harvested rice straw (stubble). Due to higher costs in their handling relative to their value, local farmers prefer the burning of stubble fields, thus creating environmental problems. Even though the government has taken initiatives, no effective solution has been discovered to handle this large agro-waste problem efficiently. In this regard, the utilization of rice straw to develop nanocellulose (NC) products is of interest. Renewability and biodegradability, along with suitable mechanical and thermal properties required for the packaging functions, are key advantages of NC. The bio-nanocomposites prepared using NC and other bio-based polymers are also being widely considered for sustainable food packaging applications due to the reinforcement provided by NC and alternative petroleum-based packaging materials. This review provides an overview of process utilization for preparing NC products using rice straw, pulping methods, and isolation to produce bio-nanocomposites for sustainable food packaging applications. The challenges and future aspects covering the utilization of rice straw for producing NC and eventually producing active packaging materials are also discussed.

U članku se analiziraju iskustva visokoobrazovanih hrvatskih građanki koje su migrirale u različite države Europe nakon ulaska Republike Hrvatske u Europsku uniju od 2013. godine naovamo s naglaskom na njihova radna i neradna/svakodnevna iskustva u kontekstu ekonomske i društvene dimenzije integracije. Istraživanje provedeno kvalitativnom metodologijom pokazuje da su radna i svakodnevna iskustva kod većine kazivačica pretežito zadovoljavajuća, u velikoj mjeri preklapajuća te ukazuju na relativno visok stupanj ekonomske i društvene integracije visokoobrazovanih migrantica u države prijema. Pronalazak posla u struci omogućuje im bolji standard života, a uvjete rada smatraju boljima nego u Hrvatskoj. Svakodnevna iskustva ukazuju na odgovarajuću količinu slobodnog vremena te osjećaj zadovoljstva kvalitetom života. Pristup sugovornica materijalnim i nematerijalnim aspektima života pokazuje elemente “dobrog života” i “osobnog prosperiteta” te subjektivne dobrobiti i integracije.
Emerging Market versus Western Expatriates in Japan during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Bebenroth Ralf , Nahar Yasmin Nur
Published: December 2022

In this paper, the term “EMex” is coined to refer to emerging market expatriates who had to adjust to working and living in Japan during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Social Identity Theory is applied together with the Grounded Theory to develop a more nuanced picture of how EMex coped with the adjustment process. We found that EMex were confronted with various challenges, some of which were somewhat similar, while others were quite different compared to those experienced by the Western expatriates. All the interviewees in this study spent most of their assignment duration in Japan at their home office. Occasionally, when EMex were allowed to go to their office, they were assigned to special projects with international teams, and so they did not have any contact with non-English speaking local (Japanese) managers. Like Western expatriates, they also missed in-person meetings with their workmates at the office; in spite of their IT literacy, they also faced challenges conducting online meetings from their home office. EMex were not given housing allowance, and this added to the difficulty in adjusting to living in Japan compared to Western expatriates. Moreover, their motivations and perspectives of the future differed from those of Western managers, who had a more secure future with their company. Also EMex faced out-group categorization issues by host-country nationals (HCNs) even if some of them planned to extend their stay in Japan after their assignment ended.
Does Religious Proximity Affect FDI Location Choice? An Empirical Analysis of Outward FDI from Morocco to 54 Host Countries
Authors: Ait Soussane Jihad , Mansouri Dalal , Mansouri Zahra
Published: December 2022

The present paper investigates the effect of religious distance on the choice of location of Moroccan Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) when investing abroad. The main research hypothesis considers the religion as an element of the psychic distance between the home country and host countries that can affect the FDI location decision. The results of the Robust Weighted Least Squares (RWLS) estimation method using panel data of outward FDI flows from Morocco to 54 host countries from 2007 to 2020 show that the more the local Muslim population is important in the host country, the more it receives FDI from Morocco. The results of the study are highly relevant to policymakers as they prove that the religion is important for inward and outward foreign direct investment. On the one hand, policy makers in charge of FDI attractiveness in the host country have to adopt religious strategies accompanied by public–private partnerships to integrate main foreign religions to facilitate the integration of MNEs and reduce their transaction costs. On the other hand, policy makers in charge of promoting outward FDI from the home country have to establish a liaison office in host countries to support the MNEs and facilitate their internationalization process.
he principles of administrative punishment under the ECHR
Authors:   , Andrijauskaitė Agnė
Published: December 2022

This thesis explores the principles of administrative punishment within the legal framework of the Council of Europe with a special emphasis on the case law of European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The thesis seeks to gauge the scope of individual protection that one might expect with regard to administrative sanctions as well as to identify cases, in which such protection may be insufficient. The thesis concludes with the idea that even though the ECtHR views administrative sanctioning as an ‘organic’, multi-pronged system, there are instances, where procedural safeguards which could have been invoked at the administrative sanctioning level, remain undeveloped.

Among the supercrustal formations of the Ingul megablock, Paleoproterozoic rocks, represented by the Ingul-Ingul series, are significantly predominant. In general, the composition of the Ingul-Ingulets series includes (from bottom to top): Zelenorichen, Artemiv, Rodioniv, Kamyano-Kostovatsky (age analogue of Spasivsk) and Roschakhiv (age analogue of Chechelivsk) worlds. The Chechelivsk suite is represented by biotite and garnet-biotite gneisses, places with sillimanite and cordierite, as well as underlying layers of pyroxene gneisses and schists. Suite rocks are widespread within the Ingul Synclinorium, in the framework of the Korsun-Novomyrhorod pluton and in the northern part of the Bratsky Synclinorium. Currently, the age of monazites from plagiogneisses distributed in the Novgorodkiv quarry and south of the village Lavrovka has been determined using the uranium-lead isotope method. The obtained monazite isotopic age values of 2022.9 ± 6.7 Ma and 2031.5 ± 1.5 Ma, respectively, can only serve as the upper age limit for the formation of the Ingul-Ingul series. Analysis of the internal structure of zircon crystals from plagiogneiss distributed south of Lavrivka, showed that the majority of zircons are complex. In almost all crystals there are mainly thin shells of light pink zircon. Light pink zircon cores are found in the middle of the light pink crystals. Crystals with a brown color have a more complex structure. Along with isometric cores of light pink zircon, cores with fine «magmatic» zoning occur, as well as highly fractured uniform brown cores and complex cores.On this basis, it is assumed that this plagiogneiss was formed by clastogenic material from several sources.

Mappanre temme: Meaning Construction of Khatam Al-Qur’an Tradition in Buginese Community of South Sulawesi
Authors: Rahman Abdul , Nurlela Nurlela , Suhaeb Firdaus W.
Published: December 2022

This research is motivated by the presence of the community tradition of Bulutellue, Sinjai, South Sulawesi which is inherited from generation to generation. This tradition is known as mappanre temme, which is a crowded event related to expressions of gratitude and joy by families because their children have successfully finished reading the Koran. The purpose of this study is to explain the position of the Koran in the socio-cultural space, the implementation and function of mappanre temme for the people of Bulutellue, Sinjai, South Sulawesi. The research method used is qualitative research using a religious anthropological approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews and documentation. The data that has been collected is then analyzed so that it has the ability to read the verses contained in the Koran. The results of the study indicate that in the Bulutellue Village community, the Koran is normatively interpreted as the word of God that gives instructions for the path of salvation in this world and in the hereafter. However, in terms of cultural reality, the Koran is interpreted as a special object that is sacred and contains supernatural powers so that it can be functioned as a repellent against evil, healing disease, and fertilizing plants. This function is a trigger to learn the Koran, and if you are successful in completing the Koran and have the skills to read it, the mappanre temme tradition is carried out as an expression of gratitude while maintaining social harmony and friendship between community members, village government officials, and religious officials, as well as maintain and strengthen the relationship between students and teachers of the Koran.
Christianity in Sub-Saharan Africa: An African Inculturation Hermeneutic
Authors: Khosa-Nkatini Hundzukani P.
Published: December 2022

Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa has always been a focal point for research, with some contending that the preachers brainwashed Africans when they carried the gospel to them since they neglected to learn Africanism. This stays a discussion among the Evangelical   Presbyterian Church in South Africa (EPCSA) where the creator of this study is a pastor. It has been stated that when a person becomes a Christian, that individual can never again discuss precursors or converse with predecessors, these terms refer to ancestors It is a transgression, while others say nothing bad can really be said about going to chapel yet rehearsing your African convictions and customs. African religion has faith in predecessors and Christianity has confidence in God. In any case, African religion accepts that God exists yet at the same time wants to get assurance from their ancestors. Some contend that there is nothing out of sorts when individuals practice their African convictions because it is not destructive to them or the following individual. Along these lines, African Religion (AR) instructs that it is critical for one to look for available resources to control or control those outer powers and offices that are more remarkable than human comprehension. This is done through ceremonial practices, mystical recipes, and charms endorsed by strict specialists to the individuals who feel compromised. It is inappropriate to expect that all Africans are something similar and that their customs are something similar or practice for similar reasons. Nonetheless, there are similitudes between African societies. Religion ought to assume a basic part in the redefinition of this peculiarity, as devotees haggle between standard regulations and strict rules. This study will analyse the confirmation that Christianity in the sub-Saharan Africa is a peculiarity and that it ought to lead strict synchronization into new world convictions and strict African practices. African Customs, given the circumstances, include exactly the secret of human reality, our individual, our relations with others and with the world. It contacts that reality that is not to be gotten a handle on and which cannot be verified.
Coseriu y la actualidad en los estudios de semántica
Authors: Casas-Gómez Miguel
Published: December 2022

De enorme podemos calificar la influencia de Coseriu en los estudios semánticos con relevantes aportaciones a numerosos problemas, no solo tradicionales, sino otros que en la actualidad se han desarrollado partiendo de sus presupuestos y que, en algunos casos, han derivado en la consolidación de nuevas perspectivas de análisis semántico o disciplinas en el marco de la lingüística moderna, como la formación de palabras, el variacionismo lingüístico, la dimensión sintagmática del léxico (la interfaz léxico-sintaxis), la lingüística del texto como semántica del hablar y del sentido, la fraseología o la terminología. En esta contribución, acometeremos la revisión de las bases epistemológicas de la lexemática coseriana, como disciplina restrictiva de la semántica y lexicología estructurales y el establecimiento de su evolución y repercusión posterior, con objeto de observar qué queda de ella en la actual semántica léxica.
Rasgos a la carta: fenómenos dialectales y marcas de lengua elaborada en las «Letras» de Hernando del Pulgar
Authors: Octavio-de-Toledo-y-Huerta Álvaro
Published: December 2022

Las Letras de Hernando del Pulgar no han sido objeto hasta la fecha de un estudio lingüístico pormenorizado. Como parte de tal tarea, este artículo se ocupa de dos grandes aspectos de la lengua de ese corpus epistolar. De un lado, se detecta y comenta un conjunto de rasgos dialectales centrooccidentales que sugieren la adhesión de la prínceps de 32 cartas de 1486 a una variedad toledana que sin duda gozaba de notable prestigio en la época. De otra parte, el análisis de los fenómenos morfosintácticos orientados al ámbito de la distancia comunicativa revela un uso moderado de los elementos y construcciones alatinados más característicos del cuatrocientos castellano, mientras que se favorecen los desarrollos vernáculos y aquellos asociados a una tradicionalidad jurídica y/o eclesial, comportamientos que se alinean tanto con el tipo de decoro exigido por la producción epistolar en general como con la formación específica de Pulgar como secretario real.
Rev. Konstanty Michalski’s reflections on beastliness and heroism
Authors:   University of Rzeszów, Poland, Bochenek Krzysztof
Published: December 2022

The history of humanity is a spectacle difficult to understand, in which the actors break the boundaries of beastliness and heroism. There are moments, such as the Second World War, when a sea of evil and cruelty, but also of good and heroism, are at war with each other on a metaphysical scale. A thinker competent to grapple with this subject is Rev. Konstanty Michalski, a respected scholar who spent several months in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during the war. He presented his profound analysis of the essence and sources of the struggle between love and hatred in his book “Between Heroism and Beastliness”, which was first published after the author’s death in 1949. Although more than 70 years have passed since then, the reflections it contains are still relevant today.
Etyka społeczna w ujęciu Jana Piwowarczyka
Authors:   Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika, Toruń, Polska, Lewandowski Robert
Published: December 2022

This article presents the problems of social ethics as seen by Jan Piwowarczyk. Catholic social ethics belongs to the philosophical and theological sciences. It is a science which, among other things, establishes the principles of social life in accordance with the principles of morality – thus making moral value judgements. Judging any activity requires a benchmark: in this case, a general principle of morality. Therefore, the most essential element, and at the same time the most difficult to determine, is precisely the creation of a general principle in society, which at the same time acts as a criterion for what is morally good and what is morally bad.

By means of comparisons of biographical threads and the socio-cultural atmosphere of the time in Galicia, including Ukrainian-Polish relations, the world-view dilemmas of national and civilisational self-determination of the Ukrainian community were identified in the philosophical-socio-scientific reflections of local intellectuals.
O Feliksie Konecznym uwag kilka
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jagielloński, prof. zw. em., Kraków, Polska, Skoczyński Jan
Published: December 2022

The text deals with the reception of Feliks Koneczny’s oeuvre over more than the last half a century. The thought of this undisputed historian and theorist of civilisation has not had the conditions for proper reception sine ira et studio. At first, it was passed over in silence as ‘reactionary’; at present, attempts are being made to give it an ideological dimension – in the spirit of inter-war National Democracy. The lack of a critical edition of Koneczny’s writings and mere access to reprints is not conducive to showing what is original and timeless in the thinker from Galicia.
Galician scholars: Marian Raciborski and Jan Gwalbert Pawlikowski as the precursors of Polish ecological thought
Authors:   University of Rzeszów, Poland, Gawor Leszek
Published: December 2022

This article presents two ideas related to nature conservation formulated by Galician (Polish) naturalists, namely M. Raciborski’s programme for the protection of nature, the first in the Polish lands, dating from the beginning of the 20th century, and J.G. Pawlikowski’s original ecological manifesto, developed slightly later, based on axiological foundations. These concepts, at the time of their creation, were extremely innovative, not only in the context of Polish thought. They have not lost their significance to this day. They constitute a solid foundation for contemporary reflection on the significance of the natural environment for human existence.

Wilhelm Feldman – a writer, publicist, literary critic, activist and political thinker, legendary editor of “Krytyka” in Kraków – was also an initiator and participant in many Young Poland discussions. The article is an attempt to reconstruct the basic ideas and intuitions present in Feldman’s major historical works and minor sketches. The author argues that they are philosophical in nature and form a coherent position. His philosophy combines romantic inspirations with the positivist programme of organic work and with elements of independence socialism, constituting an important element in the philosophical thought of Polish modernism in Galicia.

Exergy analysis of an open-mode adsorptive heat storage unit has been performed when a composite ‘silica gel – crystalline hydrate’ used as an adsorbent. The crucial factors affecting the exergy efficiency factor are stated to be temperature and initial humidity of airflow supplied to the inlet of adsorbent layer, temperature of external air and methods of air flow humidification. Procedure of calculation of the operating characteristics of an open-mode adsorptive heat storage device was further developed. The suggested procedure involves determination of adsorption, specific adsorption heat and final airflow temperature, useful heat, heat inputs for operating heat storage device and its efficiency factor, then exergy recovered, exergy supplied and exergy efficiency are calculated. Exergy efficiency depends on characteristics of flow of humid air fanned into the adsorbent layer such as temperature and initial absolute humidity which strongly affect the adsorption and final airflow temperatures. Increase of initial temperature of the humid air leads to decreasing of the exergy efficiency. Maximal values of exergy efficiency are determined at the absolute humidity and temperatures of initial airflow within the ranges of 0.03 – 0.04 kg/m3 and 20 – 30ºC, respectively. These characteristics are corresponded to the maximal airflow temperatures after passing through the adsorbent layer which meet to the Sanitary Regulations. Dependence of exergy efficiency vs. external air temperature and initial airflow temperature is shown. The exergy efficiencies of the open-mode adsorptive heat storage unit with steam and ultrasonic humidification were compared. Ultrasonic humidification is shown to allow increasing the exergy efficiency by 7 % against steam humidification. The obtained results can be used when energy-efficient heat and ventilation systems for residential premises developed.
ЕЛЕКТРОМАГНІТНЕ ПОЛЕ ЯК ІНТЕНСИФІКАТОР ПРИ ВТОРИННІЙ ОЧИСЦІ РІПАКОВОЇ ОЛІЇ
Authors: Осадчук Петро Ігорович
Published: December 2022

Наукові дослідження багатьох лабораторій показали, що для здоров'я людини представляють небезпеку де які окремі компоненти олій і жирів, а також продукти їхнього окислювання і розпаду. Не сам холестерин викликає утворення атеросклеротичних бляшок, а продукти його окислювання, які утворюють складноефірні з'єднання з насиченими жирними кислотами. Похідні окислених холестеринових та інших ліпідних компонентів, що входять до складу нерафінованих олій, також можуть визивати виникнення важких захворювань, наприклад, ішемія та навіть рак. Однак, не завжди самі гідроперекиси небезпечні для здоров'я, а від продуктів їхнього розпаду з утворенням вільних радикалів є реальна загроза здоров'ю людини. Усі види рослинної олії, що використовуються для виробництва продуктів харчування людей повинні пройти глибоке очищення на спеціальному устаткуванні. Це необхідно для видалення з олії низькомолекулярних жирних кислот, альдегідів, кетонів і інших летючих продуктів, що визначають запах і смак продукту, а також виділення з нього небажаних чужорідних з'єднань. Високоякісні рослинні олії можуть бути отримані тільки після ретельного проведення їхнього очищення, яке можна умовно розділити на первинне і наступне, більш глибоке, назване -  рафінацією. Системний аналіз енерготехнологій є ефективним інструментом зниження витрат енергії у виробництві та показав, що сучасні технології очищення рослинних олій – це складні системи, які включають ряд операцій. При глибокому очищені рослинних олій, використання хімічних реагентів та каталізаторів поліпшує якість олій та інтенсифікує процес. Однак  при їх використанні виникає потреба у додаткових матеріальних витратах, оскільки ці компоненти мають постійно оновлюватись.

The article presents materials enabling to reconstruct the paleogeographic background of the development of the population of the Volga region steppe in the Neolithic and Eneolithic periods. The relevance of the study comes from the need to develop issues of natural and climatic factors influence on the development of cultures. The novelty is determined by the fact that the research presents materials of the 2014–2019 surveys for the settlement of Oroshaemoe I. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct the paleogeographic background at the time of interest. The tasks of the study also include identification of the chronological framework, reconstruction of natural and climatic conditions, and determination of the faunal component. In order to achieve these goals, archaeological, palynological and geochemical, radiocarbon and faunistic methods were used. The settlement of Oroshaemoe I is characterized by multi-layers and stratification. The site shows successively located layers of the Orlov, Caspian and Khvalynsk cultures, separated by sterile ones. In addition to ceramic and stone implements, faunal remains were found in the cultural layers which makes it possible to identify the species of animals at different stages of the Neolithic-Eneolithic of this region. Clear chronological frameworks are defined for all complexes. For the first time in recent years, the results of spore-pollen analyses were obtained for all cultural layers. An additional source was the results of geochemical analysis for this site. Certain periods of improvement and deterioration of the climatic situation are traced which influenced the vegetation cover of this area. The results of the analysis allow us to conclude that throughout the entire period the vegetation in the surrounding area was similar to modern dry steppes (semi-deserts). An increase in aridity is recorded at a later stage in the development of the Orlov culture. The driest climatic conditions existed during the formation of the Caspian layer; and during the formation of the Khvalyn layer the amount of precipitation began to increase. This resulted in changes in life activity in the Late Stone Age and the Early Metal Age.

Published: December 2022

For the first time, the article introduces into scientific circulation the materials obtained during the excavations of the Dal’niy (Vydrin) soil burial ground in the Bolshesoldatsky district of the Kursk region (the upper reaches of the Sudzhа River – the left-bank basin of the Dnieper). In the course of research in 2021, a burial of a man of 35–40 years old was discovered, accompanied by a large amount of pottery, a glass goblet and weapons. The article provides a detailed description of the burial and grave goods, which included 16 vessels (pots, bowls, a jug, a vase, pottery and glass goblets, two brass buckles, a brass fibula, an armchair, an amber mushroom-shaped pendant, a whip part, a cutout blade in a sheath with a belt ring. The data of the anthropological examination of the remains carried out by Irina Reshetova (the Institute of Archeology, Russian Academy of Sciences) demonstrating a physically developed male subjected to regular physical exertion and constant horse riding, which formed a complex of individual signs and features. The blade was placed at the head of the buried individual; due to preservation of the organic matter it was possible to identify it as a dagger in a wooden sheath made from a fragment of a Damascus steel sword with a complex pattern on the blade, the scabbard was suspended using a simple ring with a bracket. These observations introduce new important data into the discussion about the functional purpose of a category of finds widespread in Europe mainly related to the 4th – 5th centuries. Taking into account the traditions of the Chernyakhov funeral rite, the buried individual can be attributed to representatives of the military nobility. As a result of a detailed typological analysis of chronological indicators from the burial, and primarily buckles and a glass goblet, the authors have come to conclusion that the burial date is later relative to the chronology of Chernyakhov antiquities, most likely within late 4th century –early 5th century. The representative of the tribal nobility, as well as some other individuals buried in the burial ground, could have been serving in the court of highest nobility representatives in the barbarian society of the area. In the immediate vicinity of the necropolis, there is a unique single “princely” burial in the village of Bol’shoy Kamenets (known in the literature as the so-called “Starosudzhansky (Old Sudzha) treasures” of 1918/1927). For the present, the discovery of a military burial of such level with weapons and rich inventory is unique for the Dnieper left-bank area of the Chernyakhov culture.
Boris Farmakovsky in the Memoir of Lavrentiy Moiseev His Disciple and Friend
Authors:   Sevastopol State University, Grinenko Lyudmila
Published: December 2022

2023 will mark 95 years since the death of Boris Vladimirovich Farmakovsky (1870–1928), an outstanding scholar, researcher of ancient Olbia, art historian and a scientific leader, who did much for the development of archaeology in Russia, for its continuity in the era of change of political system. Archaeologist Lavrentiy A. Moiseev, who was one of B. V. Farmakovsky’s disciples (1882–1946) and the director of the Chersonesos museum, wrote a text in December 1919 that remained unpublished. It is devoted to the 25th anniversary of Boris Vladimirovich’s scholarly activity and is not only an example of an anniversary celebration genre commonly recognised in academic life, not only a document of the epoch reflecting the time when it was composed – “separation of the Crimea and Petrograd” period – but also a fragment of memoirs about the university life and the atmosphere in S.-Petersburg of the early 20th century. The proposed article is devoted to the publication of this text, and also concerns the relationship between the two scholars in the period of the Russian Civil War.
A New Find of a Long Scythian Sword with a Golden Hilt Lining
Authors:   Don State Technical University, Lukyashko Sergey
Published: December 2022

In 2019, a long iron sword with a golden hilt was found in a kurgan near the village of Vysochino, near the city of Azov. On the pommel of the sword hilt was a stylized image of a bird of prey. This type of sword was named the Solokha type, after the first find in the Solokha mound. The published find is confidently dated by the five amphorae found in the burial to the early 4th century BC. Swords with eagle-headed finials appear as early as the 6th century BC in the Central Asian region. Here they are made in a realistic manner. In the 5th–4th centuries BC, this type of products penetrated into European Scythia. At the same time, realism is lost, images of bird heads are schematized. The characteristic detail of the image of a large round eye is lost. The pommel turns into a claw-like one. The change of the semantic meaning of the finial: in the archaic period of the Scythian culture, which had a phallic expression to an ornithomorphic one, indicates a change in ideological ideas. New ideas were brought with them by a new wave of migrants from Central Asia at the turn of the 6th–5th centuries BC.

The paper examines a small series of two-handled gray-clay vases and lekanes from the Maeotian sites of the Kuban region. All the vessels were made on rapidly rotating pottery wheels. Greek amphorae, found together with the vessels in the same burials, allow us to determine precise chronological framework for each complex and vessel type. The main common specific feature of the vases type is two vertical arched handles located on the rim. These vessels were produced under the influence of ancient pottery and come in two types: type 1 – on a high hollow pallet; type 2 – on a low ring pallet. Vases of type 1 date back to the end of the first quarter to the second quarter of the 4th century BC. The chronology of vases of the second type is limited to the end of the first quarter – the end of the 4th century BC. The two double-handled bowls that in details repeat the exact shape of the Greek lekane of the late 5th – early 4th century BC belong to a specific type of the studied tableware. The Maeotian lekanes come from burials of the first quarter of the 4th century BC. The established time frame of the gray-clay vases and lekanes of the Maeotian culture enables their use in determining chronology of the burials which contain no amphorae or other material suitable for precise dating.

β-glucans are polysaccharides that activate innate immunity. We herein investigated whether P-glucans promote the immunological effects of antibody drugs against malignant tumor cells using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Rituximab bound to CD20-specific lymphoma and exhibited cytotoxic activity in the presence of human mononuclear cells, but not neutrophils. The addition of Sparassis crispa (cauliflower mushroom)-derived β-glucan (SCG) and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to co-cultures of PBMCs and Raji lymphoma cells further promoted antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). The GM-CSF treatment increased β-glucan receptor expression on adherent cells in PBMCs. A co-stimulation with GM-CSF and SCG of PBMCs induced an increase in the number of spreading cells and the activation of natural killer (NK) cells. The enhancement in ADCC was abolished by the removal of NK cells, indicating that SCG and GM-CSF increased ADCC against lymphoma by activating β-glucan receptor-expressing cells in PBMCs and enhancing NK cell activity. The synergistic mechanisms of action of mushroom-derived β-glucans and biopharmaceuticals, including recombinant cytokines and antibodies, in the treatment of malignant tumor cells provide important insights into the clinical efficacy of β-glucans from mushrooms.
INFLUENCE OF MAGNETIC FIELD ON THE FLOW OF JEFFERY AND NEWTONIAN FLUIDS THROUGH COMPOSITE POROUS CHANNEL
Authors: Maurya Pankaj Kumar , Deo Satya
Published: December 2022

This work concerns the flow of Jeffery and Newtonian fluids through a composite porous channel in the presence of a uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to the direction of flow. The mathematical formulation of this problem represents the flow of Jeffery fluid through the porous channel sandwiched between two porous channels of the Newtonian fluid. The horizontal composite porous channel is divided into three porous channels of the same width and the fluid flow occurs due to a constant pressure gradient. The Jeffery equation has been used for the middle porous channel while the Brinkman equation has been employed for lower and upper porous channels. Continuity of velocities, continuity of stresses at interfaces, and impenetrability conditions at the outer surface of the composite porous channel have been used as boundary conditions. Analytical expressions for velocities, volumetric flow rate, and shear stresses are obtained for the respective channels. Effects of the viscosity ratio parameter (β), Hartmann number (M), Jeffery parameters (λ1), and permeability parameters (η) on the flow rate and fluid velocity are explained graphically and discussed. Numerical values of volumetric flow rate with respect to different flow parameters such as Hartmann number, viscosity ratio, and Jeffrey parameter are presented in tabular form.
