Regarding one flint item from the collection of the Upper Paleolithic site Kaystrova Balka IV
Authors: Pistruil Igor 
Published: October 2023

The Kaystrova Balka IV site was discovered by A.V. Dobrovolsky in Kaystrova Balka in 1933. In 1936, A.N. Rogachev examined the collections from Kaystrova Balka sites and made their technical and typological classification. Then, these materials were transferred to the Odesa State Historical and Archaeological Museum. In 1971, S.V. Smirnov published the flint inventory from the Kaystrova Balka IV site.
The purpose of the article is the typological attribution of flint product from the collection of the Upper Paleolithic site of Kaistrova balka IV.
The scientific novelty. In the 20th century and now, the typological method is widely used for processing archaeological collections. This method is widely used for collections of sites of the Stone Age, when we do not always understand what we are working on. On the basis of the typological analysis of the products of knepping of flint (core, chips, etc.), a reconstruction of the technology of staged primary splitting is proposed, thanks to which a new typological attribution of the product is proved.
Conclusions. Іn general terms, it is possible to reconstruct the technology of primary splitting at the Kaystrova Balka IV site. At the first stage, the platform was prepared (most likely with one strike). At the second stage, the blanks were spalled. The spalling could also occur without the initial preparation of the rib, which is typical for the prismatic technique. At the third stage, one massive spall was made. After that, further splitting could occur with or without making a rib.
This reconstruction of primary splitting at the Kaystrova Balka IV site allows us to assume that the examined item appeared at the first or second stage. Thus, this item is a flake, which was chipped from the nucleus at the very beginning of the primary splitting.

Published: October 2023

The purpose of the research paper is to introduce the materials of mound 1 near the village of Malynivtsi in the Middle Dniester region to scientific circulation. It is crucial to characterize its funeral rites, as well as to attribute the inventory complex. Burials are included in the list of synchronous antiquities of the region. The social attribution of the persons buried there is conducted.
The scientific novelty of the work is in the general characteristic of the Early Iron Age complex from Podillia. Since its unique characteristic is the presence of both pre-Scythian and Scythian features in the rites, Malynivtsi burial complex is an important source for studying the evolution of the Early Scythian funeral rites in the Middle Dniester region, because most of the burial mounds in the region are associated with the somewhat later Kelermesskaia period.
Conclusions. Mound 1 near Malynivtsi contained several burials performed according to both inhumation and cremation rites. Analogies to them can be found in the Middle Dniester region and they are associated with both pre-Scythian and Scythian times. The pre-Scythian features include the presence of a group of graves under one mound, burial in a cist, group burials are more common, and the peculiar positioning of the dead in one tomb with their heads in different directions. The northwestern orientation of bodies also prevails in the pre-Scythian period and could be found in most necropolises of that time. At the same time, a number of features already have parallels in the Scythian times: the topography of the necropolis on the watershed, and the burning down of the wooden constructions of the tomb. The inventory complex contains mainly handmade pottery. Tulip-shaped vessels are characteristic of the pre-Scythian period. Pots with a roller on the rim and body, or only on the rim, existed both in the pre-Scythian and Scythian times. However, the first type is not yet known among the burials of the Western Podillia group of the Scythian period. Thus, according to the combination of features of the funeral rite and inventory, Mound 1 near the village of Malynivtsi can be attributed to the turn of the Pre-Scythian and Scythian periods.

Published: October 2023

The purpose of the paper is to reconstruct the process of firing pottery in the Hetmanate for the Early modern time, for example the materials from the rescue archaeological researches of two pottery kilns, carried out in 2006 in the former centurion town of Reshetylivka, Poltava regiment.
The scientific novelty lies in that for the first time it is considered and described in detail of these pottery kilns construction, the characteristic feature of which was the use of kiln boxtype tiles to strengthen these thermo-technical facilities. For strengthening of the pottery kilns were used boxtype tiles. Such constructive specification sometimes was use in pottery kilns construction of Cossack Hetmanate pottery centers, but the peculiarity of these kilns is compilation of kiln’s central pillars completely of tiles. Was held the analysis of found in their filling materials, in particular, kitchenware, tiles (‘kahli’), candlesticks and other items.
Conclusions. Found pottery kilns were built by one potter at his own estate in late 17 – early 18 centuries. Their forms of the kilns are typical for pottery kilns widespread on the territory of Ukraine at that time. All of tiles according to the place in a stove are divided into wall, corner and cornice. All of them are boxtype, rectangular with a small walls. According to the decor, the wall's boxytipe tiles are divided into seven types: with heraldic image of a two-headed eagle; with the heraldic image of the fight between the griffon and the lion; with rectangular center net with encircled thin branches; with crosses; with plant-geometric ornament; with the crossed stems of six three-petal ‘lilies’; with volute-styled elements. The analysis of the tiles’ decor showed that among the Reshetylivka’s tiles a special proficiency and high décor relief is peculiar for a part of tiles with crosses. Sometimes these are tiles with similar patterns, which show the durability of life of certain décor types.
For long enough in Hetmanate were popular ‘carpet’ tiles with rhombic patterns, ‘tiles with crosses’ and tiles with volutes. Having entered into fashion at the beginning of 18 century such tiles were used practically during all the century on a wide territory. The majority of found in Reshetylivka tiles are similar to the findings from Poltava and are also correlated with the corresponding plots and decor of products of Middle Naddniprjanshchyna (Middle Dnieper territory). The analysis of the kitchenware (pots) showed that in Reshetylivka was produced smoked ceramics decorated with texturized ornament (mainly performed by graving with a stick (‘rytuvannia’) and stamping with roller). In 18 century became popular products decorated with painted ornament, which had replaced the previous ones in the assortment of potters. Judging from the characteristic features of kitchenware the abovementioned pottery kilns can be attributed to Poltava pottery region.
Archaeological Sights of Oleshnia District (Based on the Materials of Boris Baturyn’s Land Map of 1724)
Authors: Osadchij Evgenij , Degtyarev Sergey 
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the article. The article aims to analyse archeological monuments depicted on a little-known cartographic source – the land map of the Oleshnya district of the first half of the 18th century.
Scientific novelty. A 1724 land map authored by geodesist Borys Baturyn is introduced into scientific circulation. It depicts the Oleshnya District as of the first third of the 18th century. The map contains images of administrative boundaries and settlements. However, in our opinion, the image of two hillforts of the Ancient Rus era and an ancient rampart is the most interesting. On the map, it runs from the Kukuyeve hillfort to the village of Stanova in the upper reaches of the Buimer.
Conclusions. The studied map is one of the series of “Partied el’Ukraine”, which were compiled by geodetic surveyors from 1721 to 1725. The map is a little-known but quite informative source for the location and names of settlements in the district, as well as archaeological monuments. It is the result of several years of work by two cartographers – Borys Baturyn and Ivan Khrushchev, who worked in several districts located in the territory of the modern Sumy region.
The two hillforts pictured on the map were well-known landmarks at the time, mentioned in administrative documents of the second half of the 17th century. The greatest attention was paid to the localization and definition of the third archaeological object, which was drawn during the compilation of the map. This is an ancient rampart that has not been discovered so far and is mentioned only in this source. The authors assume its emergence on the map.

Published: October 2023

The purpose of the research paper is to focus attention on the role of the ‘second plan’ historians in scientific research of the history of Ukraine; to evaluate and study comprehensively the contribution of H.Yu. Khraban to the archaeological study of Uman region territory; to carry out a detailed analysis of the archaeological part of the scholar’s scientific heritage; to find out the results of his archaeological studies, and to show the importance of the archaeological study of the regions for the reconstruction of the genuine history of Ukraine.
Scientific novelty: The contribution of H. Khraban to the study of various archaeological cultures sites in the western part of Cherkasy and neighboring oblasts is analyzed based on the fundamental source base, and after finding as well as introduction into scientific circulation of a significant array of new archival sources. The paper significantly augments a list of scholar’s works, many of which are unpublished and remain relevant to this day.
Conclusions. The activity of H. Khraban devoted to the archaeological study of the territory of Uman region, Eastern Podillia, and the popularization of the ancient history of Ukraine is analyzed. The contribution of the historian to the addition of previously unknown pages from the history of the expansion of different archaeological cultures tribes into Uman region territory, his assistance in the organization of Uman Museum of Local Lore research activities, and the involvement of the public in the archaeological study of the region are shown. H.Yu. Khraban himself participated in archaeological field research in Cherkasy, Kirovohrad, Vinnytsia, and Zhytomyr oblasts. Hryhorii Khraban maintained systematic ties with the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR and spoke at meetings of the Department of Archeology Early Slavs with important reports on the results of his studies. Scientific notes and collected material objects were systematically given by the scholar to the scientific funds of the Institute of Archaeology.
According to the time of their dating, H. Khraban attributed the archaeological sites discovered in the territory of Uman region to the Paleolithic period, Trypillia culture, Bronze Age, Bilohrudivska culture, Scythian period, Zarubyntsi and Cherniakhiv cultures, and the sites of the early Slavs. H. Khraban’s merit as an archaeologist lies in the fact that he helped to study the continuity in the settling of Uman region territory since ancient times.
Image segmentation using active contours with image structure adaptive gradient vector flow external force
Authors: Wang Dong , Dang Xing , Liu Weijing , Wang Yuanquan 
Published: October 2023

IntroductionGradient vector flow (GVF) has been proven as an effective external force for active contours. However, its smoothness constraint does not take the image structure into account, such that the GVF diffusion is isotropic and cannot preserve weak edges well.MethodsIn this article, an image structure adaptive gradient vector flow (ISAGVF) external force is proposed for active contours. In the proposed ISAGVF model, the smoothness constraint is first reformulated in matrix form, and then the image structure tensor is incorporated. As the structure tensor characterizes the image structure well, the proposed ISAGVF model can be adaptive to image structure, and the ISAGVF snake performs well on weak edge preservation and deep concavity convergence while possessing some other desirable properties of the GVF snake, such as enlarged capture range and insensitivity to initialization.ResultsExperiments on synthetic and real images manifest these properties of the ISAGVF snake.
Multilevel IRT models to explore heterogeneity in subjective financial knowledge at individual and regional levels: the Italian case
Authors: Fabbricatore Rosa , Palazzo Lucio 
Published: October 2023

IntroductionModern FinTech tools (e.g., instant payments, blockchain, roboadvisor) represent the new frontier of digital finance. Consequently, the evaluation of the knowledge level of the population about these topics is a crucial concern. In this context, several exogenous factors may influence individual differences in financial literacy. In particular, the territorial characteristics can have an impact on FinTech. In this work, we investigate individual heterogeneity in subjective financial knowledge in Italy, specifically focusing on modern FinTech tools, and exploring the differences at the individual and regional levels.MethodsA sample of 598 Italian individuals from 10 different Italian regions was involved. A multilevel IRT model is performed to evaluate the level of FinTech individual knowledge and the differences according to Italian regions to account for the hierarchical structure of the data.ResultsResults reported a weak regional effect, revealing that heterogeneity in financial knowledge can be mainly attributed to individual characteristics. At the individual level, age, economic condition, knowledge of traditional financial objects and numeracy showed a significant effect. In addition, a scientific field of study and work have an impact on respondents' knowledge level.DiscussionWhat is shown and discussed in this contribution can inspire policymakers' actions to increase financial literacy in the population. In particular, the obtained results imply that policymakers should improve the population's awareness of less popular FinTech tools and foster individuals' literacy about numbers and traditional financial tools, which proved to have a great influence in explaining FinTech knowledge differences.

BackgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a rapidly evolving global emergency and continuously poses a serious threat to public health, highlighting the urgent need of identifying biomarkers for disease severity and progression. In order to early identify severe and critical patients, we retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics and risk indicators of severe disease in patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19).MethodsA total of 420 confirmed COVID-19 patients were included in the study. According to the “Diagnosis and Treatment of novel coronavirus Pneumonia (10th Edition)”, the cases were divided into mild group (n = 243) and severe group (n =177). Laboratory parameters were analyzed in combination with clinical data.ResultsMale patients over 46 years who have smoking habits were more likely to suffer from severe COVID-19. Critically ill patients had lower lymphocyte counts and red blood cell counts, and higher white blood cell counts (P&lt;0.05). Expectedly, serum inflammatory factors (NLR, PLR, LMR, CLR, PCT, CRP), coagulation markers (APTT, PT, TT, FIB, D-Dimer), Myocardial damage markers (hs-TNT, LDH) were significantly increased (P&lt;0.05) in severe COVID-19 patients. Surprisedly, those patients showed obviously elevated levels of common tumor markers (ProGRP, CYFRA21-1, SCC, NSE) (P&lt;0.05). In this case, the levels of tumor marker reflected more the condition of inflammation than the growth of tumor. More importantly, HA and PIIIN-P were highly associated with COVID-19 severity. The AUC of the ROC curve for the diagnosis of severe COVID-19 by HA and PIIIN-P was 0.826. Meanwhile, HA was positively correlated with myocardial damage markers (hs-TNT, LDH). PIIIN-P was positively correlated with myocardial damage markers (hs-TNT, LDH) and inflammatory factors (NLR, PLR, LMR, CLR, ProGRP, SCC, PCT, CRP). On the contrary, PIIIN-P was negatively correlated with pulmonary function indexes (oxygenation index and oxygen saturation of hemoglobin).ConclusionHA and PIIIN-P are highly associated with disease severity and progression of COVID-19 and can be used as new markers for the prediction of severe COVID-19.

Published: October 2023

ContextThe American Thyroid Association risk stratification (ATA) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer Tumor Node Metastases (TNM) predict recurrence and mortality of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). BRAFV600E and TERT promoter mutations have been shown to correlate with the histopathological features and outcome of DTC. Our objectives were to study the correlation of these molecular markers with these clinicopathological-staging systems.Patients and methodsWe studied 296 unselected patients, 214 females and 82 males with a median age of 36 years (IQR 23.3-49.0). BRAFV600E and TERT promoter mutations were tested by PCR-based Sanger sequencing. Data were extracted from medical records and analysed using Chi-Square and Fisher Exact tests and Kaplan Meier analysis.ResultsOf 296 patients tested, 137 (46.3%) had BRAFV600E-positive tumors and 72 (24.3%) were positive for TERT promoter mutations. The BRAFV600E mutation did not correlate with the ATA and TNM staging, being non-significantly different in various stages of these systems and did not predict the development of persistent disease (PD) (P 0.12). Unlike BRAFV600E, TERT promoter mutations were more frequent in the ATA high-risk than in intermediate- or low-risk tumors (P 0.006) and in TNM stages III and IV than lower stages (P &lt;0.0001). TERT promoter mutations also predicted the outcome, being present in 37.2% of patients with PD compared to only 15.4% in those without evidence of disease (P &lt;0.0001). The same pattern was also seen when BRAFV600E and TERT promoter mutations were combined.ConclusionTERT promoter mutations alone or in combination with BRAFV600E mutation, but not BRAFV600E mutation alone, correlated well with the ATA and TNM staging and predicted development of PD, especially in higher stages of these systems.
