Valerianus Bassianensis – A Pannonian bishop at the Council of Chalcedon?
Authors: Kovács Péter 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In his paper the author deals with the Acts of the Council of Chalcedon where a certain Valerian, the bishop of a settlement called Bassiana emerged several times. As he attended the synod of 448 at Constantinople as well, he lived in Constantinople most probably as refugee. Following E. Schwartz's correction, the author also comes to the conclusion that Valerian was mistakenly identified as the African bishop in the original Greek list and he was rather the bishop of the Pannonian Bassianae. He had to flee from his hometown to Constantinople because of the Hun occupation in 441 as his province already belonged to East Rome.
High-status Avar warriors identified. Differences in the prevalence of the horse riding syndrome in “high-status” vs. “low-status” adult male burials in the Avar cemetery of Wien 11-Csokorgasse (seventh–eighth century AD)
Authors: Bühler Birgit , Kirchengast Sylvia 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Bioarchaeology can contribute to interdisciplinary research on the social organization of the Avar Empire (568 AD to around 800 AD) by providing information on the health, lifestyle and habitual activity patterns of Avar populations, thus offering an important, additional perspective to traditional archaeological methods focusing on material culture. The so-called horse riding syndrome refers to a combination of changes on the human skeleton, which may indicate that the individual in question practised horse riding as a habitual activity during his or her lifetime. The aim of this paper is to identify potential differences in habitual horse riding activity between different socioeconomic groups within the adult male population of the Avar cemetery of Wien 11-Csokorgasse, using a major criterion of the horse riding syndrome (namely the ovalization or vertical elongation of the acetabulum) and an indicator of social status in burials of Avar men (namely the depth of burial). The sample included only males (age group adult or older) with at least one completely preserved acetabulum (n = 38 for the left acetabulum, n = 40 for the right acetabulum). The ovalization of the acetabulum was determined using a basic measurement method, the Index of Ovalization of Acetabulum (IOA). The sample was divided into two groups according to depth of burial: The “high-status” group included the skeletal material of adult male individuals with a depth of burial of 1.00 m or more. The “low-status” group included the skeletal material of adult male individuals with a depth of burial less than 1.00 m. We observed highly significant differences regarding the ovalization of the acetabulum between “high-status” and “low-status” adult males. This may reflect considerable variation in lifestyle and/or habitual activity patterns between these two groups, which could suggest differences regarding the prevalence of habitual horse riding between “high-status” and “low-status” adult males. Hence, using a major criterion of the “horse riding syndrome” – the “ovalization” of the acetabulum – we may have identified a group of “high-status” Avar warriors, whose way of life appears to have differed from that of the “lower-status” male population buried in the Avar-period cemetery of Wien 11-Csokorgasse.

Authors: Kovács Péter 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In his paper the author re-examines the lost funerary inscription of Constantius ‘dux’ following his earlier study and the subsequent study written by J.W.P. Wijnendaele and M. Hanaghan. In their study, the authors used the results of Kovács's earlier paper but several times they misinterpreted the author's conclusions. According to the author, their work was unnecessary and there is no need to re-evaluate the suggested date (420s) and identification given by him.

Anatomical analysis of the plant tissues is an important technique used in plant research for studying the process of plant growth, development, adaptation to environmental stress as well as for characterizing gene localization. In Vietnam, most anatomical analysis for plant material was manually conducted which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In this report, we present an innovative method that can deliver high-quality rice root sectioning. To optimize the efficiency of the conventional paraffin sectioning technique, the agarose-paraffin double embedding was assisted with 3D-printing technique for designing the specific mold which allow to fix from 3 to 12 rice roots in agarose. Molds consist of a lower section with grooves for firmly holding the rice roots in the right place, the additional middle sections allowing up to 3 layers of root samples to be inserted and an upper section to hold the samples before pouring the embedding. The agarose blocks obtained from the molds were then fixed in the formalin solution, then dehydrated through a gradient concentration of ethanol before being impregnated through a series of mixtures of paraffin/xylene and finally embedded in the paraffin. Anatomical sections of 10 μm of thickness were cut with a microtome, spread on glass slides, and then used for staining and collecting the images. As a result, the agarose-paraffin double embedded tissue blocks were more easily orientated and better solidified for rapid and high-quality sectioning. The sections also showed no interference of agarose with staining, as result, the tissues were much clear. In conclusion, this method represents an innovative technique for high throughput plant sectioning which could be applied to different types of plant tissues.

Industrial chicken farm has to face many challenges such as epidermis and environmental pollution. Antibiotics and synthetic antimicrobial agents are routinely used to alleviate stress as well as to elevate growth and feed efficiency. However, using antibiotic had many negative effects, especially antibiotic resistance; therefore, probiotic products are a bio-secure solution being popularly applied in livestock husbandry. The study was carried out on the two probiotics Elac-grow, a diet supplement, and Han-proway, a waste treatment product, in industrial egg-laying hens. There were two lodgings (test and control) in these experiments; each had 4000 23-week-old hens of Hyline breed. Two probiotics were applied to the test and none to the control. The results showed that there was not significantly difference of egg yield between the two groups, although, the test lodging had higher egg yield growing ratio (67.48%) than the control one (65.73%). Egg quality in the experimental lodging was also significantly improved in the damaged egg ratio, the egg weight and the egg yolk weight after using Elac-grow. The efficiency of using Elac-grow and Han-proway was also shown through the concentration of ammonia emission in animal lodging. The ammonia value of the test lodging was maximum 5 ppm and remained stable at this point, lower than of the control. This efficiency was shown significantly in the microbial fluctuation analysis, when the total bacteria and coliform counts were reduced in the test lodging sequentially above 1x108 CFU bacteria/g and above 1x107 CFU coliform/g, the control had uptrend sequentially above 2x109 CFU bacteria/g and above 1x108 CFU coliform/g.

In this study, we optimized the fermentation medium for spore production of Paenibacillus polymyxa IN937a. Seven factors including molasses, glucose, magnesium sulfate, potassium pyrophosphate, yeast extract, zinc sulfate, and ammonium sulfate are selected as the basis for the screening of factors affecting the spore production of P. polymyxa IN937a by the Plackett-Burman experiment. Based on the analysis of the Plackett-Burman matrix, the result showed that yeast extract, molasses, and ammonium sulfate were the three main impact factors (P < 0.05), which affected the yield of P. polymyxa IN937a spores. Then, the optimum combination of the three factors was subsequently optimized by the response surface methodology (RSM) using Box-Behnken design to increase the spore production in P. polymyxa IN937a fermentation. The obtained results by RSM predicted that maximum spore density of P. polymyxa IN937a was 6.606×109 spore/mL after 48 hours of the experiment when the appropriate medium for the spore production of P. polymyxa IN937a included yeast extract 14.44 g/L, molasses 19.14 g/L, and ammonium sulfate 0.20 g/L. In addition, the antifungal activity of P. polymyxa IN937a was also tested in this study. The preliminary results of in vitro antifungal activity indicated that P. polymyxa IN937a had a good inhibition on the growth of two phytopathogenic fungal strains Sclerotium rolfsii and Rhizoctonia solani. These results could be used for further research on the fermentation of P. polymyxa IN937a on a pilot scale to obtain the optimal number of spores for use in the development of biological crop protection products.
Chaotic-Based Encryption Algorithm using Henon and Logistic Maps for Fingerprint Template Protection
Authors: Siswanto Apri 
Published: June 2022

Fingerprint is a reliable user authentication method as it is unique to individual users that makes it efficient for authenticating users. In a fingerprint authentication system, user fingerprint information is stored in databases in an image format known as a fingerprint template. Although fingerprint is reliable, the templates stored in the database are exposed to security threats either during the data transmission process over the network or in storage. Therefore, there is a need to protect the fingerprint template, especially in unsecured networks to maintain data privacy and confidentiality. Many past studies proposed fingerprint template protection (FTP) using chaotic-based encryption algorithms that are more suitable to secure images than conventional encryption such as DES, AES, and RSA. The chaotic-based encryption algorithms have been improved a lot in terms of their robustness. However, the robustness of the algorithm caused a trade-off to encryption speed where it remains an issue in FTP. Hence, this study aims to improve the limitations found in the existing chaotic-based encryption algorithms for FTP by improving its encryption speed using Henon and Logistic map. A series of simulations were conducted using MATLAB to evaluate the performance of the proposed chaotic-based encryption algorithm for FTP through different analyses covering key sensitivity, histogram, correlations, differential, information entropy, and encryption/decryption speed. The performance proposed encryption algorithm was promising which could be a starting point for detailed analysis and implementation in real application domains.
The globalization of values: A comparison between Bangladesh and the USA
Authors: Khan Wahiduzzaman , Khan Md. Zakir Hossain 
Published: June 2022

Globalization is creating similar environments for younger consumers around the world. With younger individuals being socialized in more similar environments than their parents, the former should have more comparable values than the latter. The goal of the current study was to empirically test this argument.
154 consumers served as voluntary subjects (84 from the USA and 70 from Bangladesh). Questionnaires were administered to respondents for gathering the necessary data.
The respondents ranged in age from 19 to 80. Based on data gathered from 120 subjects across two countries, the results support growing similarities in values between younger consumers in comparison to older consumers. These results suggest that marketers might be able to adopt standardized marketing practices with younger individuals, whereas standardization might not have been an option with their parents.

Does trade credit substitute bank credit during crisis period? A Review of recent literature
Authors: Rehman Shafiq ur 
Published: June 2022

Although earlier studies on trade credit have made good progress and provided evidence that adds to our understanding of the role of trade credit they don’t reach a unanimous conclusion. This highlights a clear gap in the existing literature. The objective of this study is to fill the gap in the literature by providing an extensive review of the role of trade credit, especially during crisis periods.
Since this is a review paper, therefore it does not involve any econometric modeling or statistical methods for validating its claim. The method of this study is based on the interpretation of the results of existing studies.
There is conflicting evidence regarding the role of trade credit during the crisis period. However, the currently dominant practice in finance is to view trade credit as a substitute for bank credit, especially for small firms. Since small firms face high market frictions and have limited access to market finance, therefore when rationed by banks during a financial crisis, these firms move towards high implicit cost trade credit to offset the reduction in bank credit.
This paper presents a review of the empirical literature on the use of trade credit for financing motives. Its aim is to provide an insight into whether trade credit serves as a substitute or complement during the crisis period. The review concludes that small firms face a high information problem. This information problem becomes worsens during an economic downturn or tight monetary conditions. As a consequence firm’s particularly small firms move towards trade credit to undo the bank lending channel.

Published: June 2022

Background: Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are the most devastating pests of vegetables, especially in the tropic and subtropic regions. Meloidogyne incognita is among the major pathogens found in the tomato crop and causes a significant yield loss. This study evaluates the resistance and susceptible cultivar of tomato against root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita). Methods: A greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate the resistance or susceptibility of nine tomato cultivars against M. incognita. Nine cultivars of tomato (Jyoti-4, Navuday, P-21, T9, Pusa-Rohini, Pusa-Sheetal, Pusa-Ruby, Tomato-Ped and Tomato-Round) were procured from Indian Institute of Agriculture Research (IARI), New Delhi and Chola seeds store Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India. Two weeks old seedlings of each cultivar were transplanted singly into each pot of 15 cm diameter (1 kg mixture of soil). Only one healthy seedling of each cultivar was maintained in each pot, including the control. Each pot was inoculated with 1500 freshly hatched second-stage juveniles (J2s) of M. incognita. This experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with five replications of each cultivar. Result: According to the rating scale of galls and reductions in growth parameters, cultivars Pusa-Ruby and Tomato-Ped were found highly susceptible. Five cultivars, namely Jyoti-4, Navuday, Pusa-Sheetal, P-21 and Tomato-Round were found susceptible, while cultivar Pusa-Rohini was found moderately susceptible. Only one cultivar viz., T9, was found moderately resistant.

Published: June 2022

PurposePsychological intimate partner violence (IPV) will impact almost half of US adults throughout the lifespan and as many as 80% of undergraduate college students; however, psychological IPV remains understudied. Examining perceptions of IPV can aid in the identification of potential barriers to treatment seeking and advance intervention efforts. The current study intended to determine how myths and stigmatizing beliefs about IPV affected the minimization (i.e., neutralization) of IPV acts and how history of psychological IPV victimization could moderate the aforementioned associations.MethodsParticipants were undergraduate students in the southeastern United States (N = 52) who were currently, or had previously been, in a relationship for at least 1 month. Data were collected regarding IPV victimization and perpetration and perceptions of IPV, including stigmatizing beliefs, myth endorsement, and neutralizing beliefs.ResultsFindings indicated that those reporting higher levels of psychological IPV victimization endorsed more neutralizing beliefs about IPV more stigmatizing beliefs about females experiencing IPV victimization, compared to those reporting fewer stigmatizing beliefs towards females experiencing IPV. That is, individuals who have experienced psychological IPV and also stigmatize females experiencing IPV victimization may tend to normalize IPV.ConclusionsFindings illuminate how perceptions and personal experiences of IPV can minimize someone’s views of the severity of others’ IPV victimization. This research has implications for highlighting barriers to help-seeking behaviors for individuals experiencing IPV and informing future studies about help-seeking in undergraduate populations.
Les actualités cinematographiques en France
Authors: Bittar Xavier 
Published: June 2022

El artículo tiene por objeto las noticias filmadas - principalmente francesas - del período 1930-1936. Algunas noticias se inscriben en un marco político con la llegada de Hitler al poder en 1933. Tres años después, en el momento del Frente Popular, se muestra una Francia en huelga, una huelga que incluso tendrá un impacto en la actividad cinematográfica.
Se menciona más concretamente la forma en que las noticias dan cuenta del asesinato del rey de Yugoslavia el 9 de octubre de 1934 y del comienzo de la guerra de España en 1936. A través de informes en la prensa y privilegiando los testimonios de los operadores de la época, se vuelve en particular sobre el comienzo de su mediatización así como sobre la ambigüedad de su posicionamiento ante ciertos hechos políticos. Si reivindican cierta neutralidad, su implicación les da paradójicamente una pretensión periodística.
A disputa de Nietzsche com Sócrates e seus efeitos para a educação
Authors: Hardt Lúcia Schneider 
Published: June 2022

O artigo debruça-se sobre a filosofia dos antagonismos de Nietzsche para buscar suas repercussões formativas considerando a arte, ciência e a educação. O modelo agonístico presente na obra de Nietzsche é tomado como definidor para as apreciações das sutilezas dos embates filosóficos, especialmente a disputa com Sócrates. Na dinâmica da disputa, a potência do elogio, da crítica e também de uma autocrítica. Este solo filosófico conecta-se com o solo pedagógico, fazendo surgir métodos de análise e de prática que configuram uma possível educação agônica. Nestes termos, a disputa educativa resgata uma vitalidade por meio do método genealógico que visa discutir invenção, descoberta, explicação e interpretação considerando o arranjo dos conceitos para contestar sua imutabilidade ontológica e gerar nova orientação em termos epistemológicos. Mostrar disposição em pensar com Nietzsche, sem necessariamente abandonar Sócrates, implicaria refletir sobre como o excesso de fixidez instaurada por nossas invenções pedagógicas têm impedido descobertas mais robustas para fazer acontecer outra educação. Será necessário antes questionar o valor da verdade que ainda reina entre nós para levar às últimas consequências o projeto nietzschiano de transvaloração de todos os valores.
