Authors: Gabellini Davide , Musarò Antonio
Published: October 2020

The 16th Meeting of the Interuniversity Institute of Myology (IIM), October 17-20, 2019, Assisi, Italy brought together scientists, pharma and patient organization representatives discussing new results on muscle research. Internationally renowned Keynote speakers presented advances on muscle development, homeostasis, metabolism, and disease. Speakers selected among submitted abstracts presented their new, unpublished data in seven scientific sessions. The remaining abstracts were showcased in two poster sessions. Young trainees where directly involved in the selection of keynote speakers, the organizing scientific sessions and roundtables discussions tailored to the interests of their peers. A broad Italian, European and North-American audience participated to the different initiatives. The meeting allowed muscle biology researchers to discuss ideas and scientific collaborations aimed at better understanding the mechanisms underlaying muscle diseases in order to develop better therapeutic strategies. The active participation of young trainees was facilitated by the friendly and inclusive atmosphere, which fostered lively discussions identifying emerging areas of myology research and stimulated scientific cross-fertilization. The meeting was a success and the IIM community will continue to bring forward significant contributions to the understanding of muscle development and function, the pathogenesis of muscular diseases and the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Here, we report abstracts of the meeting illustrating novel results of basic, translational, and clinical research, which confirms that the Myology field is strong and healthy.
Here to stay: regression analysis in follow-on cartel damages
Authors: Droukopoulos Spyros , Veronese Barbara , Witte Stefan
Published: October 2020

Private damage claims that follow after a competition authority's infringement decision require an accurate estimation of the harm caused, in order to avoid under- or over-compensation. The right method for valuation of damage will depend on the specifics of a particular case, and will need to balance the need to allow for a sufficient level of detail, while remaining tractable and practical for the case overall. Regression analysis is often the method that best balances these competing objectives. This article discusses the increasing use of regression analysis in follow-on damage claims in Europe. It outlines possible reasons why this widespread application of regression analysis is not yet extensively reflected in final judgments by national courts, and considers how this may change in the future. It concludes that the regression analysis is here to stay.

The paint spraying waste gas contains a large amount of paint mist, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous materials, which seriously affects human health and atmospheric environment. Paint mist cannot be separated from paint spraying waste gas effectively by the existing dry filtration methods because of the filter blocking. A new separation process and a novel coupling device with high separation efficiency have been developed. A numerical model was established to optimize the structure and operation parameters of the baffle interceptor by hydrodynamics method which verified by the coupling device experiment. From the simulating results, when plate spacing was 20 mm, folding angle was 90° and airflow velocity was up to 8 m/s, the separation efficiency of paint mist with the diameter of 15 μm was 84.7% and the pressure drop of the baffle interceptor was 220.2 Pa. Experiment was conducted under the above-optimized conditions, and the results showed that the pressure drop of the baffle interceptor was 303.33 Pa, and the paint mist separation efficiencies of the baffle interceptor and the interception-filtration coupling device were 78.34% and 96.38%, respectively.

Authors:   Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Roraima (IFRR), de Oliveira Hudson do Vale
Published: October 2020

A sociedade muda constantemente e, em função dessas mudanças, as organizações precisam se readaptar para atender as demandas emergentes e urgentes que surgem de forma muito dinâmica. Em tempos de pandemia, essa necessidade de adaptação foi amplificada, uma vez que essas organizações estão diante de cenários cada vez mais incertos, promovendo novos fluxos e exigindo novas formas de governança. Neste sentido, a obra “Organizações Públicas, Privadas e da Sociedade Civil: Gestão, Inovação e Responsabilidade Social”, constituída de quatro capítulos, traz algumas reflexões que perpassem a gestão e a inovação em/de organizações públicas em diálogo com instituições privadas e da sociedade civil, inclusive considerando o contexto de pandemia. No primeiro capítulo, “Das organizações públicas à pluralidade das organizações privadas: reformas administrativas e a busca por eficiência nos serviços de extensão rural”, os autores buscam fazer o mapeamento das reformas nos serviços de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural (ATER) e, partir deste mapeamento, refletem sobre o direcionamento desses serviços, buscando compreender que efeitos essas mudanças trazem para a eficiência e a inovação desses serviços. Ainda na perspectiva de inovação, e também de gestão, o segundo capítulo, “Emendas Parlamentares Participativas como Prática de Inovação no Setor Público: O Caso da Câmara de Vereadores de Florianópolis – SC”, aborda uma análise acerca da experiência da participação da sociedade civil no processo da gestão pública por intermédio da implementação de emendas parlamentares participativas, em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Com o título “Indicadores de transparência, gestão e resultados das instituições como instrumento de controle: uma comparação entre indicadores oficiais”, o terceiro capítulo busca comparar indicadores de transparência e de resultados, por meio de órgãos oficiais, com foco em reflexões sobre a perspectiva de dar continuidade às discussões sobre governança eletrônica. O quarto capítulo, “Governança no enfrentamento da pandemia: Que caminho seguir quando as orientações são divergentes?”, trata-se de um ensaio teórico e traz reflexões sobre o contexto de crise sanitária, buscando contribuir para o debate acerca do enfrentamento da pandemia, identificando algumas divergências nas orientações divulgadas acerca deste enfrentamento e refletindo sobre o impacto dessas divergências na potencialização da crise. Esta obra, por meio dos capítulos resumidamente apresentados, tem como propósito convidálo, não só a leitura, mas também ao debate e às reflexões acerca das organizações, sejam elas públicas, privadas ou da sociedade civil, isoladamente ou de forma conjunta, nos mais diferentes contextos e considerando, inclusive, as diversas nuances que perpassam a gestão, a inovação e a responsabilidade social dessas organizações.

OBSERVATIONS ON SOME INSECTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUGARCANE IN PUERTO RICO
Authors: Wadley F. M.
Published: October 2020

Survey work in 1935-36 on sugarcane insects of Puerto Rico, especially those which may transmit mosaic disease, is described. Previous work is cited; climate, geography, and methods are outlined briefly. Aphis maidis was found to be rather abundant on tasseled corn, sparingly present on several grasses, and scarce on cane. Hysteroneura setariae was moderately abundant on some grasses, occasional on cane along the south coast, and rare on cane elsewhere. Sipha flava was widespread on cane, sometimes injurious, and small numbers occurred on grasses. Carolinaia cyperi was found in moderate numbers on a sedge. A. maidis was most numerous in the rainy season, the other three in the dry season. Mealybugs were numerous, especially on mature cane. Saccharosydne saccharivora was widespread but seldom numerous on cane. Some minor insect notes are recorded. Aphis maidis seems likely to be important in mosaic dissemination, because more abundant in areas of rapid than of slow spread. Hysteronera and Carolinaia seem less likely to be important, and the other insects named seem unlikely to be implicated at all. Some aphids not breeding on grasses may be important.

1. Ninety-four percent of the roots of 21-year-old coffee trees growing in Catalina soil are found in the uppermost 12 inches of soil. 2. A well developed and heavy tree top was found to be correlated with a heavy and extensive root system, 3. The top to root ratio was 4 to 1. 4. Primary roots comprised 57.22 percent of the whole root system; secondary 25.72 percent and tertiary, 17.06 percent. 5. Primary roots were confined to the first 24 inches, secondaries to the 0-72 inch levels, while tertiary roots were found distributed throughout the 0-96 inch levels. 6. While the lateral spread of roots was over 8 feet, the penetration was slightly over 3 feet.
The Cashew - A Promising Support for Vanilla
Authors: Hernández-Medina Ernesto
Published: October 2020

Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) was superior to bauhinia (Bauhinia reticulata) and bucare (Erythrina berteroana) as a support tree for vanilla when used on open hillside having a western exposure and without additional shade or wind protection. The vines on cashew produced more stem growth with long, thick internodes and dark-green leaves as compared to the short, thin internodes and yellow-green leaves of those grown on bauhinia and bucare. This was attributed to the inadequacy of the foliage of these supports to protect the vines and to the shedding of this foliage during the dry season, which further exposed the vines to intense sunlight. The writer wishes to express his appreciation to Jacinto Rivera Pérez, collaborating agronomist, for assistance in gathering part of the data and photographs for this paper.

La podredumbre de semillas y plantitas de tomates, pimientos y berenjenas en los semilleros, ya en cajones o ya en el campo, presenta con harta frecuencia un carácter alarmante en nuestro ambiente. Esta podredumbre, conocida comúnmente por "salcocho," representa uno de los problemas más serios que confronta el hortelano. En Puerto Rico se ha encontrado que varios organismos de los géneros Pythium, Phytophthora, y Phomopsis son responsables de enfermedades de esta clase. Recientemente apareció en semilleros de berenjenas y pimientos en la Estación Experimental una endofitotia de salcocho. Se pudo comprobar que dicho salcocho era causado por el ataque de un hongo cuyas características morfológicas y fisiológicas lo catalogan como una raza de Rhizoctonia solani Kühn.

El Padre de la Discordia

Published: October 2020

El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en comprender desde una sociología de las identidades políticas, el proceso de configuración de la identidad peronista. Para ello, analizamos diversos ejemplos, tanto a nivel nacional como provincial, a fin de ilustrar los modos mediante los cuales dicha identidad gestionó las diferencias que emergieron en su interior, procurando dar cuenta de la compleja trama de tensiones existentes durante sus orígenes (1946-1949). Nuestra hipótesis sostiene que dichas tensiones, lejos de ser un punto de inicio hacia un proceso de homogeneización interno o, por el contrario, el comienzo de la desintegración de dicha identidad, responden más bien a un tipo particular de dinámica identitaria y no a la ausencia de ella. Sostenemos, por lo tanto, que es posible pensar la constitución de las identidades políticas a partir de dinámicas que no responden a al proceso de reducción forzosa de lo múltiple a lo singular

PREVALENCE OF VATAJA-PRATISYAYA (ALLERGIC RHINITIS) FROM THE MIRROR OF AYURVEDA WITH MODERN COUNTERPART
Authors: Shailza Parashar  , Vandana Vidyarthi  , Munna Kumar  , Rajesh Mishra
Published: October 2020

Ayurveda is eternal and continuous flow of ancient medicine. Now a day, there are some diseases which are needed to be given special attention. Changing lifestyle, increased pollution, urbanisation and increase resistance to the antibiotics are responsible for prevalence of many diseases. Nose being exposed to the external environment, is more prone to all these causes and recurrent infections. The most common and frequent problem is Pratisyaya or Rhinitis. Among Nasagata disorders Pratisyaya is the one which is described by almost all the Acharya in detail, which shows its importance due to dreadful nature. Among the types of Pratisyaya, Vataja Pratisyaya can be co-related with Allergic rhinitis because of its similarities in aetiopathogenesis and symptomatology i.e., Tanu Nasa-srava, Sirasula, Ksavthu etc. The burden of allergic rhinitis is enormous, constituting about 55% of all allergies. Reported incidence of allergic rhinitis in India ranges between 20% and 30%. Modern medicine undoubtedly relieves symptoms very fast but permanent cure is very much possible through holistic approach of Ayurvedic science. Ayurveda, the science of life if applied systematically has the ability to ensure complete cure. This paper reviews the characteristics, causes, mechanisms, and treatments of Vataja Pratisyaya in Ayurveda and modern.

Published: October 2020

Śālākya Tantra is one among the eight branches of Aṣṭāñga Āyurveda. Śālākya Tantra deals with diseases that affect part above the neck like eyes, nose, throat, ear, and head. Karṇanāda is one among twenty eight Karṇarogas explained in Suśruta Saṁhitā, Bhāvaprakāśa and Yoga- Ratnākara. Karṇanāda can be correlated to the tinnitus in modern literature. When the Vāta gets localised in the channels of the ear the patient hears various types of sound like those of a Bherī (bulge/drum), Mṛdañga, Śaṁkha etc. are known as Karṇanāda.  Tinnitus is defined as a phantom auditory perception-it is a perception of sound without corresponding acoustic or mechanical correlates in the cochlea. The prevalence of tinnitus in the adult population is estimated to range from 6% to 19%. Several theories have been proposed to explain the mechanisms underlying tinnitus. Treatments for tinnitus include Snigdha Virecana, Nāḍi Sweda, Piṇḍa Sweda, Dhūpana, Basti Karma Nāvana, Abhyañga, Karṇapūraṇa and in modern literature medical and surgical, pharmacotherapy, acoustic therapy, counseling and education, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), tinnitus retraining therapy, and electrical stimulation. This paper reviews the characteristics, causes, mechanisms, and treatments of tinnitus in Āyurveda and modern.

Authors: Vij Divya  , Mishra Rajesh Kumar
Published: October 2020

Meda is one of the most important plants included in Astavarga. This plant is used in variety of Ayurvedic formulations such as Cyavanprasa. Dried underground parts (rhizomes) of this plant are used for medicinal purpose. This plant is claimed to possess rejuvenating, health promoting, immune system strengthening, anti-oxidant and cell regenerating properties. Also claimed to promote body fat, healing fractures, control fever, abdominal thirst, diabetic condition, seminal weakness, and as a cure for Vata, Pitta and Rakta dosa. The demand of this herb is increasing day by day but due to scarcity of this plant in wild, unaware about authentic botanical source, non-existing cultivation practices there is widespread problem of adulteration or substitution with other plants. The poor quality of raw material affect the quality of end product formed. So by taking into account the above situation this systematic review/ metadata analysis has conducted to find out adulteration in Meda.
The Effect of Hedging with Financial Derivatives on Firm Value at Indonesia Stock Exchange

Published: October 2020

This study aims to analyze the effect of hedging for the risks of foreign currency, interest rate, and commodity price on firm value as measured by Tobin’s Q. The findings reveal that hedging with derivative instruments is insignificantly related to firm value but significantly varied in financial risks. Hedging for foreign currency risk has a significantly positive relation to firm value, while hedging for interest rate and commodity price risk has no relation. Furthermore, this study provides a novelty compared to previous studies in the utilization of the extent of hedging as the variable to measure the implementation of hedging.

The prevalence of son preference indicates that girls will have less leisure time compared to boys. This study aims to examine gender differences in weekly hours in schooling, housework, and working among children in Indonesia using Tobit Model and decomposition model of Bauer & Sinning (2005), to test whether son preference explains the differences. The dataset was drawn from the fourth wave of Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) in 2007. The results show significant gender differences in housework and working for children aged 5–14 years and insignificant gender gap in schooling for both age groups. These results confirm the existence of gender differences among younger children compared to older children in their time allocation.

Data was collected from the admission record file in PICU. A total of 30 patients aged 1 to 15 years diagnosed as Cruillain-Barre syndrome were included in the study. Detailed history, clinical examination, investigations, treatment modality and outcome for GBS was recorded including age, gender, cause of transfer to ICU, antecedent illness, respiratory muscles and bulbar paralysis, cranial nerve involvement, sensory and autonomic dysfunction, CSF study. During the study period, a total of 214 patients were diagnosed as GBS in the hospital and 30 patients were transferred to PICU. Among those, 29 (96.7%) patient were classical GBS and 1 (3.3%) relapse GBS. Common cause of transfer to ICU was respiratory muscle and bulbar paralysis (27, 90%). Most patients were in the age range of 1-5 years (20, 66.7%). Autonomic dysfunction was present in 16 (53.3%) cases and cranial nerve involvement in 1 (3.3%) cases. In 22 (73.3%) patients the antecedent event was respiratory infections and diarrhea in 2 (20%) cases. CSF study was done in 25 (83.3%) patients and albuminocytological dissociation was found in 19 (76%) cases. Total 26 (86.7%) patients were treated with IVIG and rest were with steroid (4, 13.3%). 12 (40%) patients needed mechanical ventilation, respiratory muscle paralysis (9, 75%) was the commonest indication. Most common complication during treatment was aspiration pneumonia (14, 46.7%). Twenty-three patients (76.7%) were improved and transfer-red to ward, 7 (23.3%) expired. Bulbar involvement with respiratory failure is the most common indication of admission in ICU. WIG is the effective treatment modality and need of mechanical ventilation indicates poor outcome.

This study was done to find out the causes of puberty menorrhagia and to evaluate the efficacy of various treatment applied in this disorder. This Descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of MARKS Medical College Hospital and in my private practice settingfrom August 2012 to February 2014. Fifty unmarried girls from age of menarche to 19 years with history of excessive bleeding per vagina attending in my private practice and out patient department or admitted to this Hospital, were included in the study. They were prospectively analysed to assess the aetiological factors and the outcome of treatment required to manage these cases. The most common cause of menorrhagia was Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) (82%), followed by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(10%) and Hypothyroidism(6%). Thirty (60%) patients had menorrhagia of > 1 years duration and majority of them 48 patients (96%) were labeled anaemic at the time of presentation. All patients responded well to medical management. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and anti fibrinolytic agents produced 75% subjective improvements in complaints. However, the Hormonal treatment (Pogesterone and combined oral contraceptive pills) produced 72% improvement. Regarding the treatment outcome, the NSAIDS and anti fibrinolytic drugs were found to be most effective, in reducing the complaints of menstrual blood loses etc. so these should be used as first line of treatment in this disorder. Pogesterone and combined oral contraceptive pills should be used as 2nd line of treatment. Puberty menorrhagia is a distressing condition both for the patient as well as her parents. Most of the cases are due to anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) which is a self limiting condition. Counselling of the patients is an important part of management. Long term medical treatment is successful in the majority of cases.

Câteva considerații asupra portului popular la urmașii grănicerilor năsăudeni
Authors:   Muzeul Etnografic al Transilvaniei, Rus Dana Maria
Published: October 2020

The traditional folk costume of the Romanian peasant is one of the identity marks specific to us as a people. This costume has both common elements and elements of distinction from one geographical area to the other. Nasaud region has succeeded to preserve the traditional costume almost the same as a hundred years ago. The economic life in the villages around Nasaud, the specific life, the piedmont and mountain climate, the existence of the military border for almost a hundred of years and the material needs specific to the peasant-soldiers were the factors that influenced the way of making the traditional costume. The Austrian military border had long term effects on the inhabitants’ evolution, on their emancipation, and it imposed in the inhabitants’ conscience the preservation of local traditions and the assertion of the national identity at the linguistic, literary, social, cultural, folkloric level.

Our research is designed to mark a significant contribution to the study of an unexplored area in Maramures until now, so it has a unique character. In the first part we analyzed the role of the healer in the rural communities, and we focused on identifying the cause of the disease, in order to treat it. We then presented the system of measures to protect people’s health, highlighting the role and functions of amulets and charms. The investigation part of the introduction is an analysis of the circumstances and factors that generated the folk pharmacopoeia, giving importance to the composition of remedies used to treat various diseases and to the cure categories: hemostatic, astringent, cicatrising, toxic. We wrote in the recipe book different categories of medicines used for a single disease, with a view to highlight its alternative treating, counting on a better result of its healing. We focused our analysis on the elements that make up the rich folk pharmacopoeia: plants, chemicals, fruits, vegetables, cereal plants, trees, resins, wax and honey, oil, water - sometimes prepared magically etc. In the second part of the investigation, we reproduced, based on information provided by performers, results of the field research, a rich medical recipe book meant to show the richness of the folk pharmacopoeia, and the variety of internal and external diseases that were treated by a lot of remedies which we grouped in simple remedies, cure based on combinations, and remedies necessary in treatments that use magic or in mixed form, counting on magic combined with medicines. We have not omitted to point out the beliefs-bans and superstitions, made by man of the people, to act in order to prevent diseases.
Ritualuri de înmormântare în Maramureșul contemporan. O aplicație antropologică
Authors:   Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Vlad Maria Daciana
Published: October 2020

The main objective of this paper is to present and analyze the cultural meaning in “passing away”, its scope is to illustrate in detail how this event is perceived in Romanian culture, especially in the county region we will study about. Each country has its own funeral rituals and is directly interconnected with religion, education, traditional roots that where influenced by geographical location and individual teachings over time. Our attention was towards our birth place called Salistea de Sus, a village in Maramures County. The doctrine of each religion confirms the “immortality of the soul” and share the same mantra that death is a continuation of life, a transcendence in another existence beyond death. In the Orthodox Christian denomination, the most common religion in Maramures, the doctrine about death is different; it is believed that life after death is still an enigma somehow, but according to tradition is a continuation of this earthly life in another spiritual life, close to God.

The article analyzes the creative artist’s relationship, from any field of artistic creation, with the community he belongs to and the variety of factors that interfere with the advantages and disadvantages resulting from the traditional, cultural and economic dimensions of the community. The paper successively illustrates the dependencies of this bipolar relationship, the shortcomings and risks together with the major tendencies of bad taste which, due to an unfortunate direction, with focus on ratings, gains access into the world of models worthy of consideration and of the media factors, or the lack of involvement of the institutions that play a defying role locally. The debate presents in its second half the notable example of the participation at optimal level in the cultural act, in order to get support and be promoted by the administrative institutions of the ones involved in the cultural emancipation of the community. An example in this direction is given by the model created by the artistic group The Feast of the Annunciation from Negresti-Oas, Satu-Mare, which exemplarily evolved because of the responsible implication of its members, local museum institutions, intelligent and good quality trustees and successive administrations of the town. All the above drew investments, cultural benefits and national and international fame to the group of initiators, to the community and to all the factors involved and assumed in this project which exceeded the 30-year threshold since its beginnings, becoming one of the lengthiest artistic groups from our country.

The present paper describes the state of conservation of 20 wooden painted panels belonging to an 18th century painted coffered ceiling broght to life by Lőrinc Umling the Elder (1751). The Transylvanian Museum of Ethnography has in its heritage 47 such painted panels which comprise the ceiling of the former Reformed Church from the village of Vechea, Cluj County. Most painted ceilings with identified authors belong to the three generations of painter-carpenters from the Umling family, whose members have worked for more than a half a century (1742-1794) in Hungarian Reformed Churches throughout the territory of the nowadays counties of Cluj, Sălaj and Bistrița-Năsăud. The specific techniques and materials used for the completion of the 20 wooden panels, together with the degradations forms of the wooden supportand those of the painted layers they carry are revealed above in the article, leading to the selection by the museum specialists of the proper restoration steps to be taken on. The complexity and the high volume of the needed operations (adding the time pressure urged by the deadline of this restoration work), imposed as necessary the team work of several museum professionals.

The Nettle (Urtica dioica) – also known as Large Nettle and Live Nettle, is a plant known from ancient times to have healing properties. It is widely spread all over the world. The use of the nettle in food or as a medicinal plant began from time immemorial, judging by its popularity in folk culture, both regarding its uses as well as its presence in beliefs and rituals linked to its harvest and processing. The Nettle is also named Marţ’s weed, as it is compared to the god Mars (who is fast and strong), and it begins its vegetative cycle in March. The nettle is used to make sour soups and simple foods, or in combination with other vegetables, as well as in various magic rituals of rejuvenation.

Mărul, funcții și valențe simbolice

In the universal beliefs, there are over twenty species of sacred trees considered as the center of the universe, ‘axis mundi’, and the apple is among the trees of these species. In our traditional culture, the apple has a bivalent symbolism magically and Christian religiously, representing the aspect of interdiction and only of reward. As a reflection of the influence of the Greek mythology, one also could find it as a symbol of love, ecstasy, fertility and abundance. According to the belief that each man has a correspondent in the vegetal world, the apple becomes “tree of destiny” accompanying the terrestrial existence in the following stages: birth, marriage, death. From birth the baby accompanies his life with its planting tree in the farmstead yard, and it will support the good way of his life, the one of passing to the world beyond. The multitude and the diversity of the customs and of the passage rituals clearly support the showed statements. It is also necessary to mention the symbolic, juridical valence that apple has in understanding the ancient mythology found in the dispute on the theme of beauty of the Gods Hera, Aphrodite and Athens, known as ‘the marriage of discord’, which defines this aspect. The complementarity of the apple with the fir tree, which is always seconded, is specific to our folk tradition in the context in which both trees have important roles in the mythology of life and death. The space of carols is often marked by the existence of a cosmic tree, the apple of the fir tree, which sums up much of the spiritual activities of our people. Like the fir tree, which is evergreen, the apple, which is preserved as a fruit over the winter, it becomes a symbol of the eternal longing seen in the wishes of passing between years, and as a symbol of fertility, one can find the apple ‘in the breast’ or in the incantation ‘White Apple Flowers’. Therefore, as a reflection of the solar cult, the apple is a landmark in the millennial existence of our nation.
Investigarea și conservarea unui fragment de textilă arheologică

In the summer of 2016 during the rescue excavations made at the Cathedral of St. Mihail in Cluj-Napoca it was discovered a fragment of archaeological textiles, from the 17th century. The textile was sampled from the head area and is a piece of ribbon made of golden silver yarn and silk threads. The ribbon textures reveal a decorative motif formed by diamonds and triangles, forming a 6 mm wide repeating module. Because in the present case the degraded forms of degradation did not allow for wet cleaning, it was decided to keep it for the moment in its degraded form. Removing deposits loosely attached to the textile surface was performed by repeated aspiration using the surgical vacuum cleaner, this offering the possibility of a controlled and safe cleaning. To ensure optimal handling, storage, transport and exposure conditions, a suitable support was made for the shape and the component materials, so that the external factors interfere with the piece as little as possible.

The second upright piano in order who was submitted to complex procedures of restauration is W. Hoffmann with serial number 5916 produced in 1923. This artifact raised some different issues than the first one. It was intensly used, often moved, sometimes ”fixed” with all kinds of glue, and inside of the mechanism the textile elements were old and embrittled and with a lot of moisture . The restauration takes 4 months and two specialists. The big surprise camed at the end when the third upright piano waited for me in the same location that the last one.
Rolul sării în procesul de neolitizare din sud-estul Europei

In order to understand the process of neolithisation of Southeastern and Central Europe, must be underlined the important role played by Transylvania through the numerous springs and salt lakes. The whole Carpathian arch of Transylvania is surrounded by impressive salt sources (Map 1). After a cold period in Europe between 6300-6100 BC, around 6000 BC there is a heating that corresponds to Greece and Anatolia with very hot and dry periods, which causes small pastoral communities to migrate from the Greek-Macedonian areas to the north. These first shepherds’ communities with sheep flocks, defined with a general term, as Early Neolithic, migrate northwards and sit in salt areas. In the Carpatho-Danubian Basin, this civilization is defined by archaeologists with the term Starčevo-Criş culture. The first horizon was defined as Monocrom- Frühkeramik and Starčevo-Criş IA respectively (shortly SC). Very soon, finding out the beneficial conditions (pastures, forests, mountains with alpine pastures, but especially salty springs), other communities with large cattle come, laying the foundations of some important Early Neolithic sites in Transylvania: Cristian, Ocna Sibiului, Miercurea Sibiului, Gura Baciului and those in Apahida – Cojocna zone. Migration after migration and diffusion sought and used salt sources which together with the environmental factor (pastures, forests, and alpine meadows) contributed to the neolithisation process. In SE Transylvania, Moldova, central and north Crişana neolithisation process starts only with the evolved phases of the Starčevo-Criş culture. The most interesting and important discoveries related with the end of Early Neolithic are those of Lunca – Poiana Slatinii (Neamţ County). The salt roll for the neolithisation processes of N Hungary, Slovakia (Hurbanovo and Biňa, Košice-Červeny Rak a.s.o.) and E Austria (Prellenkirche a.s.o.) is related with the evolved phases of SC culture (Zăuan, Tăşnad – Sere). Neolithic sites located in area of salt sources of Someş and Tisa basins prove also ethno-cultural exchanges (obsidian import of NE Hungary, SW Slovakia and maybe other).

From the cycle of the constellation symbolism we will approach the „Corona-Crown” constellation. The origin of these dress accessories gets lost in the darkness of time, standing testimony of the „Prehistoric Art”. The "Corona- Crown" is the small constellation Corona Borealis, visible in early summer, its brightest stars form a semicircular arc. The "crown" is a symbol and sign of belonging to the celestial world bearer, supernatural, divine, being worn at rituals of passage; of magic; of gratitude to heroes, to victors, to geniuses and to wise; of martyrdom; of coronation of kings, being a sign of immortality, honor, victory, greatness and joy. Archaeological discoveries will complete the mythological and ritualistic picture of these hairy ornaments, represented by „Moon Goddess” from Turdaș and „Bride of Trușești”. The story behind these clothing accessories represented in the Prehistoric Art and in the stars makes that the man to be closer to sky (heaven, deity), the microcosmic Earth merging with the macrocosmic Universe.
