A fragmentary limestone votive vessel of Iron Age date from Enkomi-Ayios Iakovos rediscovered
Authors: Hermary Antoine , Kiely Thomas 
Published: November 2024

Two fragments of a stone vase decorated with palmettes under the handles, discovered during the British Museum excavations at Enkomi-Ayios Iakovos in 1896 and briefly described by Alexander Murray in a report published in 1900, were reidentified in the Museum reserves only in the past few years by Thomas Kiely. They deserve to be studied in detail because this type of object is rather rare in Cyprus, part of a small series dominated by the colossal vase in the Louvre from the sanctuary of Aphrodite at Amathus, and to which an unpublished example from Idalion can now be added. The Enkomi fragments are especially notable because they were found in the ruins of the famous Late Bronze Age site of Enkomi, along with other Cypro-Archaic limestone and terracotta items; these discoveries are complemented by Iron Age figurines from the excavations of Porphyrios Dikaios in the 1940s and 1950s. In this article, T. Kiely presents the history of discovery and the archival record, and describes the two fragments in their present condition, while A. Hermary provides a detailed analysis within their broader cultural and topographical context.

Published: November 2024

Background
Social constructs like race can affect how patients are perceived and impact care. This study investigated whether mentions of race in notes for critically ill patients differed according to patients’ race.

Methods
This retrospective cohort study included intensive care unit notes for adults (≥18 years old) admitted to any of 6 intensive care units at University of California, San Francisco, from 2012 through 2020. Notes were linked to National Provider Identifier records to obtain note writer characteristics. Logistic regression analysis with robust SEs clustered on note writers was adjusted for patient-, note- and clinician-level characteristics. Any race or ethnicity mention was the outcome of interest.

Results
Among 5573 patients with 292 457 notes by 9742 unique note writers, 3225 patients (57.9%) self-reported their race as White, 997 (17.9%) as Asian, 860 (15.4%) as Latinx, and 491 (8.8%) as Black. Note writers documented race/ethnicity for 20.8% of Black, 10.9% of Latinx, 9.1% of White, and 4.4% of Asian patients. Black patients were more likely than White patients to have race mentioned in notes (adjusted odds ratio, 2.05 [95% CI, 1.49-2.82]).

Conclusions
Black patients were more than twice as likely as White patients to have race mentioned in notes. Note language containing information on social constructs has consequences for clinicians and patients reading notes and for algorithms trained on clinical notes.
Expressions of whiteness? A Black ecclesiological reflection on Fresh Expressions of Church
Authors: Aldous Benjamin J. , Baron Eugene 
Published: November 2024

The article presents a critical literary analysis of the Fresh Expressions of Church movement, which started in the United Kingdom (UK) and was subsequently adopted by some mainline churches in South Africa. The authors review the genesis of the movement and its models, development and approaches in order to understand its relevance for the post-apartheid South African context. The authors then critically compare, through a literary analysis, the theological praxis of the Fresh Expressions movement and bring it into critical dialogue with some Black Liberation Theologians and Steve Biko of the Black Consciousness Movement who, when apartheid was at its height in South Africa, argued for a ‘Black expression’ of church. In the article, the authors reach a dramatic point by asking whether a ‘fresh expression’ is indeed needed, in the light of an existing ‘Black expression’ of faith and lived religion in South Africa that has historically been ignored and stifled. The article concludes with a call to embrace Black Ecclesiology in the post-apartheid context.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article concludes with a call to embrace Black Ecclesiology in the post-apartheid context.
Performing minor glaucoma interventions on the slit lamp
Authors: Gupta Shikha , Panigrahi Arnav , Gupta Viney 
Published: November 2024

Background:
Complications are frequently encountered after glaucoma surgeries, for which timely intervention is necessary. Many of these interventions, like bleb needling, tube repositioning, anterior chamber (AC) reformation, paracentesis, and hyphema drainage, are fairly simple, but can often be vision saving. However, waiting for operation theater availability for these minor procedures can be a risky decision. Hence, techniques for performing these procedures on a slit lamp should be part of every glaucoma surgeon’s armamentarium.

Purpose:
This video is meant to introduce the viewers to simple techniques for performing minor procedures, enabling management on a slit lamp. The need to know a simple yet effective way to perform these procedures cannot be overemphasized.

Synopsis:
This video demonstrates, in the specified order, techniques for AC paracentesis, AC reformation, Ahmed glaucoma valve tube repositioning, iris repositioning, bleb needling and hyphema drainage. Utmost aseptic precautions must be taken before performing these procedures on the slit lamp, especially in cases where the 26G needle enters AC. This includes the use of a sterile air filter, donning sterilized gloves, and using its sterile wrapper to place the 2 ml syringe being used. Use of betadine eye drops before the procedure and a week-long course of topical antibiotics after these procedures is recommended.

Highlights:
This video demonstrates simple techniques for performing useful procedures on the slit lamp, an effective tool for managing postoperative complications.

Эмеритальная касса духовенства Черниговской епархии (1880–1917 гг.)
Authors: Н.Ю. Борисов 
Published: November 2024

Материальное положение приходского духовенства — один из ключевых вопросов, которые стоят перед исследователями синодального периода истории Русской Православной Церкви. В данном случае речь идёт о множестве аспектов, одним из которых является проблема пенсионного обеспечения приходского духовенства. Следует отметить, что оно являлось одним из вопросов, решение которого со стороны государства не могло удовлетворить священно и церковнослужителей. Поэтому многие из них пытались обеспечить как своё будущее, так и будущее своих семей в случае смерти: так появлялись эмеритальные кассы или кассы взаимопомощи. Подобное начинание поддерживалось и продвигалось правящими архиереями в различных епархиях. В данной статье рассматривается деятельность эмеритальной кассы духовенства Черниговской епархии в период с момента её учреждения до 1917 г.
The financial situation of parish clergy is a key issue facing researchers of the synodal period in the Russian Orthodox Church history. It concerns many aspects, one of which is the problem of pensions for parish clergy. It should be noted that the solution of the issue by the state could not satisfy the clergy. Therefore, many of them tried to ensure both their future and the future of their families in the event of death: this is how insurance funds or mutual aid funds appeared. Such an undertaking was supported and promoted by ruling bishops in various dioceses. This article examines the activities of the insurance fund of the Chernigov diocese clergy in the period from its establishment to 1917.
Отражение общественно-политических событий в церковно-певческой культуре в начале XX в. по материалам «Русской музыкальной газеты»
Authors: А.П. Сологуб 
Published: November 2024

С первых номеров «Русской музыкальной газеты» 1904 г. обращают на себя внимание публикации или новостная лента, в содержании которых подчеркивается соотнесенность того или иного события в области церковно-певческого искусства с общественно-политическим контекстом того периода. Посвящения «в пользу Красного креста», для «усиления военного флота», «в пользу раненых на Дальнем Востоке» и пр. свидетельствуют об активной сопричастности общества, в том числе и церковных общин, известным событиям Русско-японской войны 1904 г. Такие инициативы представителей церковных структур на примере церковно-музыкальной культуры лишь свидетельствуют о тесной соотнесенности церковно-общественных интересов дореволюционного периода.
Since the first issues of the “Russian Musical Newspaper” in 1904, attention has been drawn to publications or news feeds, the content of which emphasizes the correlation of this or that event in the field of Church singing art with the socio-political context of that period. Dedications “in favor of the Red Cross”, for “strengthening the navy”, “in favor of the wounded in the Far East”, etc. testify to active involvement of society, including Church communities, in well-known events of the 1904 Russian-Japanese War. Such initiatives of the Church structures representatives, by the example of Church music culture, only testify to close correlation of Church and public interests of the pre-revolutionary period.
«Скифский Ахилл» Льва Диакона: к вопросу об эволюции мифа
Authors: А.Ю. Митрофанов 
Published: November 2024

В статье с привлечением большого корпуса источников и литературы рассматривается в широком историческом контексте повествование византийского историка X в. Льва Диакона, посвященное противостоянию ромеев и росов в 970 г. Разбираемый в статье отрывок содержит упоминания персонажей Гомера и Геродота, при этом важное место в анализируемом тексте занимает миф о скифском Ахилле. Как результат, в центре внимания исследовательского интереса оказываются реальные религиозные практики восточных славян второй половины X в., включающие в том числе и ритуальные жертвоприношения. Боспорский культ Ахилла и скифская традиция почитания Ахилла как божества в Северном Причерноморье подробно исследованы в современных работах. Античное религиозное содержание и значение образа скифского Ахилла было известно Льву Диакону, утверждавшему, что Ахилл научил скифов языческим обрядам и жертвоприношениям. Отдельное внимание в статье уделено рецепции «Истории» Льва Диакона в начале XIX в. в Российской империи, когда этот труд византийского историка был впервые издан в 1819 г.
The article, using a large corpus of sources and literature, examines in a broad historical context the narrative by Leo the Deacon, the 10th century Byzantine historian, dedicated to the 970 confrontation between the Romans and the Russians. The passage analyzed in the article contains references to the characters of Homer and Herodotus, while the Scythian Achilles myth occupies an important place in the analyzed text. As a result, the focus of research interest is on the mid-late 10th century Eastern Slavs’ real religious practices, including ritual sacrifices. The Bosporan cult of Achilles and the Scythian tradition of venerating Achilles as a deity in the Northern Black Sea region have been studied in detail in modern works. The ancient religious content and meaning of the Scythian Achilles image was known to Leo the Deacon, who claimed that Achilles had taught the Scythians pagan rites and sacrifices. Special attention is paid to the reception of the “History” by Leo the Deacon in the early 19th century Russian Empire, when this work by the Byzantine historian was first published in 1819.

El envejecimiento es un proceso natural que afecta a todos los seres humanos. La vejez, entendida como la etapa final de este proceso, está influenciada por las experiencias acumuladas a lo largo de la vida. En esta fase, las oportunidades para mejorar la calidad de vida son frecuentemente limitadas, debido tanto a la disminución de la capacidad física como a las restricciones económicas y sociales. Este fenómeno es particularmente notable en sociedades occidentales que valoran la competencia, la productividad y el individualismo. En Panamá, las políticas sociales se han centrado en los adultos mayores de bajos recursos, a través de programa como el Programa 120 para los 65, que proporciona subsidios monetarios, así como servicios de recreación y salud. El objetivo general es contribuir a una mejor comprensión de cómo las estrategias comunicativas pueden potenciar la efectividad de las políticas públicas y garantizar que el programa social alcance a quienes más los necesitan. La evaluación de este programa no solo requiere un análisis del impacto en la calidad de vida de los beneficiarios, sino también una revisión de las estrategias de comunicación utilizadas para difundir sus beneficios y condiciones. La metodología empleada fue un estudio cualitativo-cuantitativo donde se fue observando las fortalezas y debilidades en la difusión y comunicación del programa, así como las percepciones de los beneficiarios y otros involucrados en el programa que fueron clave para el estudio. Se aplicó una encuesta con preguntas abiertas y cerradas a una muestra de 200 beneficiarios entrevistas a trabajadores sociales del Ministerio de Desarrollo Social vinculada al programa de 120 a los 65 años.

Published: November 2024

Brachiaria is a newly introduced forage grass in Kenya and other countries that has potential for improving livestock productivity but there is limited availability of seed this has become a major constraint. Pastures in western Kenya faces both pathological and physiological problems associated with both biotic and abiotic factors that leads to poor livestock production especially in the dairy industry. This research study focused on evaluating disease tolerance and growth potential of selected Brachiaria cultivars Xaraes (Xaraes palisade), Piata (Piatã palisade), MG4 in the selected agro-ecological zones of Western Region, Kenya. Mulato II grass was included as a control. The experiment was replicated three times at two different agro-ecological zones namely KALRO Kakamega LM2 and KALRO Alupe, Busia LM1 agro ecological zones therefore this study was a 2×3×5 factorial laid in a split plot. Root splits used as planting material were sourced from KALRO Kakamega farm. Phosphate fertilizer at the rate 40 kg/ha P2O5 were used at planting and the crop was top dressed with Nitrogen fertilizer at the rate 100 kg/ha N. Data collected included number of tillers, plant height at different stages, light interception, leaf area index and diseases incidence on the seeds. In LM1 Mulatto II had the highest height and Basilisks had the lowest height and vice versa for LM2. In both agro-ecological zones Basilisks had the highest number of tillers. In terms of disease establishment, in LM2 (KALRO-Kakamega); Basilisks was the most affected cultivar by both false smut and ergot diseases at 58% and 69.33% incidences respectively. MG4 had the least ergot incidence at 41%, while Xaraes had the least incidence for false smut at 32%. In LM 1 (Alupe Busia), no cultivar exhibited disease. Most cultivars intercepted light higher in LM2 and lower in LM1. Mulatto II and Xaraes had the highest and lowest light interception respectively in LM1 (Alupe Busia), while Basilisks and Xaraes had the highest and lowest interceptions respectively in LM2 (KALRO-Kakamega). The trends were the same in terms of LAI though MG4 had the lowest LAI in LM1. Through this study Basilisks, Xaraes, Mulatto II and Piata were moderately tolerant to ergot disease while MG4 was highly tolerant. Basilisks and MG4 were moderately tolerant to false smut disease while Xaraes had high tolerance levels This research serves as a baseline for future research on Brachiaria forage yield and provide knowledge-based information on production of high quality Brachiaria seeds with the view of enhancing their availability scaling-up Brachiaria forage production to enhance dairy productivity in smallholder farm.
A Study of Bases, Continuity and Homeomorphism in Hausdorff Topology
Authors: Achungo Mary , Ojiema Michael Onyango , Olege Fanuel 
Published: November 2024

This paper surveys the essential concepts of bases, continuity, and homeomorphism within the context of Hausdorff topology. We examine the characterization of Hausdorff spaces through various types of bases, including minimal generative bases, which serve to illuminate the intrinsic properties of these spaces. The interplay between bases and morphisms is explored, emphasizing how morphisms facilitate continuity of mappings between Hausdorff spaces and their quotient images. We investigate the implications of these relationships for determining homeomorphisms, establishing conditions under which two Hausdorff spaces can be deemed equivalent. Key results include the construction of quotient images using equivalence relations, as well as criteria for continuity and homeomorphism that are uniquely suited to Hausdorff spaces. The findings on bases also demonstrate that a topological space X is Hausdorff if and only if there exists a minimal generative base BM for X such that for any Subfamily B′M of BM that is also a base for X, every element of BM can be expressed as a union of elements from B′M . This result provides an important tool for studying the properties of Hausdorff spaces and their relationships with other topological spaces.
