Recto and Verso in Bookrolls of Menander
Authors: Carlesimo Roberta 
Published: January 2024

AbstractOf the 66 papyri that certainly preserve sections of Menander’s comedies, 40 are fragments of bookrolls. Given the significant number of these items, an analysis of their bibliological aspects yields interesting data on the material characteristics of the author’s transmission. The present paper will analyse the use of recto and verso in the surviving Menandrian papyri, with particular regard to the copies written on the back of documents.
From Cartonnages to Cultural Contexts
Authors: Del Corso Lucio 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
During his excavations in the Fayum, between 1900 and 1902, Pierre Jouguet was able to find a large number of mummy cartonnages, which along with documents of various sorts yielded some surprising, previously lost literary texts, such as Menander’s Sicyonians, Euripides’ Erechtheus, and Stesichorus’ Thebaid. The exact find-spot of the papyri is unclear: we know that the mummies were found in different necropoleis between Medinet Ghoran and Medinet en Nahas (ancient Magdola), but clear topographic information is largely missing: after reaching France, the cartonnages were dismantled in different steps over a span of several decades, so their ‘archival’ history is often difficult to trace. Nonetheless, even if their archaeological context is lost, the texts seem to point to common cultural contexts, as suggested by a comparison of their philological, palaeographic and ‘bibliological’ features. This article will survey such characteristics, in order to reflect on the readership and circulation of Greek literary texts in Ptolemaic Egypt.
Rethinking John and “the Synagogue” in Light of Expulsion from Public Assemblies in Antiquity
Authors: Cirafesi Wally V. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Since the immensely influential work of J. Louis Martyn, many Johannine scholars have interpreted John’s ἀποσυνάγωγος passages (9:22, 12:42, 16:2) as reflective of the gospel’s outsider position in relation to Jewishness. In Martyn’s model, as well as in the model of his contemporary Raymond E. Brown, “the synagogue” functioned as synecdoche for “Judaism,” leading both scholars to the conclusion that John’s ἀποσυνάγωγος passages reflected the experience of a late first-century community that was on its way out of the “household of Judaism.” In this article, I draw upon recent advances in scholarship on ancient synagogues to problematize the equation of “the synagogue” with “Judaism” in toto, still a very prominent analytical framework in Johannine studies today. I then argue that John’s expulsion passages are helpfully illuminated when the sociohistorical context of the events described in the text itself are viewed from the broader perspective of expulsions from public assemblies in Jewish and Greco-Roman antiquity. From this angle, John’s story of ἀποσυνάγωγος can be read as an account of the contentious politics of popular assemblies, in which there were winners and losers in the competition over political influence, rather than as part of a compositional strategy of disaffiliation from Jews and Judaism tout court.
The Strange Significance of the Name Carpocrates in Early Christian Polemic
Authors: Pope Michael , Adamson Grant 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In this philological study we establish and reckon with the fact that the name Carpocrates was exceedingly rare and strange in antiquity. The rarity, we argue, was due to the name being a variant spelling or (purposeful) misspelling of the Greco-Egyptian deity Harpokrates. We also show how bizarre and even comical the name would have sounded to Hellenephone audiences. Greek parents, so far as the evidence suggests, were not naming their sons Carpocrates. We further explain how both the rarity and strangeness of the name functioned as a polemical weapon in the hands of some early Christian writers.
Determinação de indicadores de custos de implantação para Sistemas de Abastecimento de Água no estado do Pará, Brasil, como subsídio à elaboração de estudos de viabilidade econômico-financeira
Authors: Barros Arthur Julio Arrais , Teixeira Luiza Carla Girard Mendes 
Published: January 2024

O objetivo da pesquisa foi o estabelecimento de indicadores para mensuração dos custos de implantação de Sistemas de Abastecimento de Água no contexto da elaboração de estudos de viabilidade econômico-financeira. Para tal, foram levantados e sistematizados os custos totais de implantação de 09 (nove) Sistemas de Abastecimento de Água no Pará, referentes a obras em andamento ou recentemente concluídas em municípios do estado; resultando na identificação das unidades componentes dos Sistemas, no estabelecimento de indicadores de custos e na validação dos referidos indicadores a partir da aplicação das metodologias de Jungles (1994) – adaptada por Costa (2003) – e da Secretaria Nacional de Saneamento Ambiental (2010). Com a realização do presente trabalho, levantou-se a cobertura atual e o incremento de atendimento previsto a partir da implementação das intervenções previstas no escopo das obras de implantação ou de ampliação e melhorias dos SAAs. Além disso, mediante o estabelecimento dos indicadores de custo por unidade integrante dos Sistemas, foi possível a avaliação da convergência ou não dos indicadores calculados; destacando-se os indicadores das unidades de EEAB, de AAB, de RAP e REL pela maior tendência de centralização. Por fim, a partir da validação proposta, conclui-se que a metodologia de Jungles (1994) não representou bem a estimativa dos custos de implantação dos SAAs para nenhuma das unidades, enquanto a metodologia da Secretaria Nacional de Saneamento Ambiental (2010), em função das diminutas diferenças percentuais, é melhor aplicável na estimativa de orçamentos globais de unidades de sistemas de saneamento básico.
reparación de los crímenes de Estado en Argentina. De la justicia transicional a las prácticas reparatorias
Authors: Schneider Ludmila 
Published: January 2024

Tras su consolidación durante la década del 80, la perspectiva teórico política de la justicia transicional ha hegemonizado los debates en torno al conjunto de medidas tendientes a reparar las violaciones de derechos humanos perpetradas por regímenes militares o autocráticos. El objetivo principal de este trabajo reside en reconstruir y analizar los postulados de la justicia transicional con la intención de explorar su fecundidad para la comprensión de los procesos que analiza, partiendo de la vinculación entre este campo de estudios y la experiencia de reparación a los crímenes de Estado en Argentina entre 1983 y 2015.
A partir de las concepciones de justicia, transición y democracia que subyacen a la justicia transicional, se presentarán algunas consideraciones relativas al modo en que la misma comprende los conflictos sociales del pasado en oposición a la representación de una sociedad futura en la cual la institucionalidad democrática se configura como garantía de la no violencia. Finalmente, tras identificar los alcances y limitaciones de esta perspectiva, se presentará la concepción de prácticas reparatorias, construida como una alternativa para el estudio de las medidas tendientes a la reparación.
Aproximaciones al dispositivo de la Función Social de la Propiedad en Argentina y Colombia
Authors: Henao Tapasco Julian Eduardo 
Published: January 2024

Se plantea un análisis comparativo del dispositivo jurídico de la Función Social de la Propiedad (FSP) en los discursos políticos de Jorge Eliécer Gaitán y de Juan Domingo Perón , buscando aportar a los actuales debates en torno a la unificación de los Códigos Civil y Comercial colombianos (Alarcón/Villalba, 2020) y al proyecto argentino de Ley de Acceso a la Tierra (Unión de Trabajadores de la Tierra -UTT, 2020), propuestas que desde el 2016 en adelante se han venido presentando en escenarios de la legislatura, la judicatura y la academia, por parte de organizaciones, instituciones y personalidades públicas y estatales de cada país. Este análisis comparativo implicará observar la emergencia, recepción e implementación del dispositivo FSP en Colombia y Argentina, como contextos de enunciación discursiva de los interpelados.
Esta primera parte buscará esclarecer con suficiencia un contexto latinoamericano que permita comprender la emergencia del dispositivo FSP en Europa y sobre todo, el rescate/recepción y la transmisión/comunicación/ implementación de ese discurso en América Latina. Este contexto permitirá observar, en la segunda parte, la potente emergencia política de las dos voces contemporáneas bajo análisis y la adaptación del dispositivo FSP dentro de sus respectivos discursos políticos sobre la propiedad y productividad de la tierra.
The legal framework of the Internet under the UN system
Authors: Douglas De Castro 
Published: January 2024

This paper addresses the ambiguous legal boundaries surrounding the Internet, a persistent concern for legal researchers. As a new frontier for legal researchers, issues related to the Internet or cyber matters within the legal context have persisted for decades, with some aspects consistently in a state of obscurity and fragmentation. Moreover, there is a phenomenon of overlooking the comprehensive development of a legal narrative, leaving this branch in a state of isolation. To enhance clarity, the paper narrows its focus to three key institutions that regulate the Internet under the UN system, this paper obtains its breakthrough points from the angle of organs, and then of basic concepts embraced by the organs. Upon reviewing the core elements at play in the Internet governance system, the multistakeholder model emerges as a key player in Internet governance within the UN system. In summary, employing the methodologies of textual, historical, and normative analysis allows us to explore the underlying questions and outline a foundational map of Internet regulation within the UN system.

The aim of the work was to assess the possibility of using disposable polymeric containers in the production technology of the live plague vaccine.Materials and methods. We deployed the vaccine strain Yersinia pestis ЕV NIIEG for the work. A standard disposable 10 L Flexboy type polymeric container manufactured by Sartorius Stedim Biotech, equipped with Sartopore 2 filter capsules, was used for submerged cultivation of plague microbe inoculum. This method was compared to the regulated technology for obtaining seed cultures using glass bottles with a volume of 20 liters. The control of the produced seed cultures of the vaccine strain EV was performed in accordance with FS.3.3.1.0022.15. The cultivation of the seed culture in a disposable polymeric container was carried out in a liquid nutrient medium at a temperature of 26 to 28°C with continuous barbotage and mechanical agitation with a platform oscillation frequency of 80 to 90 per minute. For aeration, compressed air with a pressure of 0.3 to 0.4 kgf/cm2 was used. The volumetric flow rate of sterile air supplied for aeration ranged from 0.9 to 1.0 l/min.Results and discussion. The use of disposable polymeric containers made it possible to reduce the duration of the technological stage of obtaining a seed culture by 1.7 times and increase the yield of live microbes per unit volume of the nutrient medium by 2.8 times, as compared to the regulated production technology. Thus, the possibility and prospects of using disposable polymeric containers in the production technology of live plague vaccine at the stage of preparation of sowing cultures is evidenced.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Deviations from the common distribution of proteins within cells are linked to aging and diseases. Analysis tools to determine quantitative changes in the spatial distribution of components inside cells are not well developed. To this end, we built the open-source automated analysis platform Cell Detection and Analysis of Intensity Lounge (CellDetail) together with a graphical user interface (GUI). The algorithm within CellDetail generates a physics-based, quantitative determination of spatial distributions of multiple proteins within a single cell. For example, CellDetail transforms previously reported binary changes (polar/apolar) in the intracellular distribution of the polarity proteins Cdc42 and Tubulin in young and aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) into quantitative changes within the polarity space. Thirteen distinct Septin proteins form networks within cells that are critical for cell compartmentalization and maintenance of polarity. Changes in the structure of the Septin network within HSCs might therefore be linked to changes in polarity in aged HSCs. An immunofluorescence approach that identified 6 individual Septins within a single HSC was analyzed with CellDetail and revealed a critically reduced level of organization of this Septin network within aged HSCs. CellDetail thus provides complex 3D cell image analyses which allows for a quantitative determination of the spatial distributions of proteins and protein networks in single cells.

Abstract

Wood density is an important functional trait used to estimate forest biomass and carbon stocks. Its wider range of variations, such as inter- and intra-specific level, and within tree disparity, repeatedly invoke wood density as a potential source of variation in biomass or carbon estimation. We aim to (i) measure pith-to-bark wood density profiles in major mangrove tree species in the Sundarbans and (ii) quantify the deviation in above ground biomass estimations by comparing the method that ignores wood density variation across the radius. One hundred and fifty wood cores were collected from five widely distributed ecologically distinct mangrove species in three distinct salinity zones (low, medium, and high) in the Bangladesh Sundarbans. Wood density was measured for each 1 cm long wood core segment from pith to bark. Among the three light-demanding species,Sonneratia apetalaandAvicennia officinalisshowed a decreasing wood density trend from pith to bark whileExcoecaria agallochaexhibited an increasing trend. Shade tolerantXylocarpus moluccensisdisplayed a decreasing wood density trend, whereas the most dominantHeritiera fomesunveiled almost less variable wood density values from pith to bark. Albeit wood density varied positively with slenderness ratio, a significant relationship was found only for the shade tolerant species. Shade tolerant species also had a significantly higher mean wood density than light demanders. Wood density was significantly higher at the high saline zone for the studied species, exceptS. apetalaandA. officinalis. Depending on the species, ignoring radial wood density variation increased deviations in AGB estimations up to ~ 17%. This study suggests for considering radial wood density variations, and their possible site- and species-specific influences to increase the accuracy of mangrove biomass estimations. Furthermore, these preliminary results pave the avenue for a better understanding of wood functional traits in the Sundarbans.
Probabilistic response determination of high-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems enforced by parametric multiple Poisson white noises
Authors: Chen Jian-Bing , Lyu Meng-Ze 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Stochastic dynamical systems enforced by Poisson white noise (PWN) are encountered widely in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering fields, but it is hard to capture the probability density function (PDF) of the quantity of interest of these systems. Recently, the dimension-reduced probability density evolution equation (DR-PDEE) has shown significant advantages in probabilistic response determination of path-continuous processes, especially for systems of high dimensions and strong nonlinearity, but there are still challenges in path-discontinuous processes, such as PWN-driven systems, due to their random jumps. In the present paper, the DR-PDEE governing the PDF of any single component of state vector of interest for a high-dimensional system enforced by PWN is established. It is always a one-dimensional partial integro-differential equation regardless of the dimension of the system if merely one single quantity is of interest. The intrinsic drift function and intrinsic rate function (the latter is for parametric excitations) in the DR-PDEE can be identified numerically based on the data from representative deterministic dynamic analyses of the PWN-driven system. Then solving the DR-PDEE numerically yields the solution of transient PDF of the quantity of interest. Numerical examples are illustrated to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
Dependence of the Solar Wind Plasma Density on Moderate Geomagnetic Activity Elucidated by Potential Learning
Authors: Kitajima Ryozo , Nowada Motoharu , Kamimura Ryotaro 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In this study, the relationship between a moderate range of geomagnetic activity, represented by the Kp index (2- – 5+), and solar wind conditions were revealed based on Potential Learning (PL), a newly developed neural network, and dependence of particular solar wind plasma density on moderate geomagnetic conditions was discussed. It has poorly been understood from what stage of geomagnetic activity the solar wind density begins to control the Kp level. We utilized the PL protocols that were improved for the research of space plasma physics in our previous study. As a result, we succeeded in specifying the most influential solar wind parameters at an extremely low (0–1+) and high (6- – 9) Kp ranges under southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions. The IMF three components (Bx, By, and Bz), solar wind flow speed (Vx) in geocentric solar magnetospheric (GSM) coordinates, and solar wind plasma density (Np) obtained from the OMNI solar wind database (1998–2019) were used as input parameters for PL. Based on PL, the solar wind velocity is the most significant parameter for the moderate Kp range under southward IMF conditions and the solar wind number density is the second most influential parameter. Based on the examination of the statistical relationship between the solar wind speed and plasma density under extremely low, high, and moderate Kp ranges using the PL database, geomagnetic conditions remain high while the plasma number density becomes large, even if the solar wind velocity decreases (or remains similar). This shows that both solar wind velocity and plasma number density govern geomagnetic activity, following the relational equation between Kp index and the solar wind plasma parameter. We investigated the relation between the solar wind velocity and plasma density and revealed that the solar wind density begins to affect the Kp level from moderate geomagnetic activity level (2- – 5) based on PL and incidental statistical studies using PL input data. Our results would greatly help understand general relationship between solar wind conditions and geomagnetic activity under various IMF conditions.
