Rule Out

Especially since Ferraz (1974, 1975, 1979), it has been generally accepted that the four Gulf of Guinea creoles (GGCs) — Santome (ST), Angolar (ANG), Lung’ie (LU), and Fa d’Ambô (FA)2 — are closely related languages based on historical and linguistic data. Ferraz shares his view on the type of genetic relation between these creoles in the following quote: To take the GG [Gulf of Guinea] case, it would not be plausible to assume that the contact language which developed in the town of São Tomé and the surrounding areas was the same as that which gave rise to Ang[olar], Pr[incipense], and Pag[alu]4. There are enough differences between each of these languages to rule out such a possibility. It would be closer to the truth to say that the four contact languages show many resemblances because, to a large extent, they grew up together, with slaves and settlers introduced through the central administration in São Tomé. (…). Hence different languages developed in the archipelago rather than dialects of one contact language. (Ferraz 1987: 348) This paper will reassess the linguistic relation between the GGCs and the typological contribution of the African strata. It will be argued that there is substantial linguistic evidence that the GGCs are to a significant extent the result of a common ancestor, which throughout the paper will be labelled the proto-Gulf of Guinea creole (proto-GGC), and that this common ancestor derived most of its features from its Nigerian substrate rather than from western Bantu.

Archaeological Excavations

The first archaeological excavations at the Malyn ancient settlement had been initiated in 1878 by V. B. Antonovych. In the 20th century, the site has been explored by such outstanding scientists as P. M. Tretiakov, M. P. Kuchera, B. A. Zvizdetskyi. On the basis of the found artifacts, the site has been attributed as one of the earliest town settlements of the Eastern Slavs, and the discovered materials have been used to generate the concept of the early development of the towns in the East Slavonic area. Starting from 2016, the expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine regularly explores the site to investigate the fundamental issues of the early Slavonic towns in Eastern Europe genesis. During the field season of 2017, scientists discovered the remains of the defense constructions dating back to the earliest period of the site formation. The new data which enable to characterize the settlement surroundings has become an important result of the research in 2017. The artifacts discovered at the surrounding areas of the site indicate that culture layers of all the neighboring grounds available for settling (except for the flood lands of the Irsha river) are synchronous to those found at the settlement.

The Revolution

The article discusses the formation after the revolution and Civil war in 20–30-ies of XX century in the town of Moscow region called Kuntsevo and the surrounding areas, which were the center of culture and leisure of the creative intellectuals as writers, poets, literary critics. The author turns out the circumstances of their stay in these places, the attitude towards Kuntsevo landscape and nature, the people of the town. The author opens the subject of the reflection in the intellectuals’ works of sights in Kuntsevo. There are specific examples from the personal lives of figures of literature and culture related to Kuntsevo surroundings, their joint meet- ings, conversations, collective and individual recreation. Special attention is paid to their way of life, family situation, daily life and destiny. E. Bagritsky, A. Gaidar, V. Shalamov, P. Vasiliev lived in Kuntsevo places after the revolution. V. Lugovskoy, M. Gorky, M. Koltsov, P. Zamojski, M. Tsvetaeva and many other representatives of the literary environment came there. The article reflects the emergence of new literary cadres of young people working in local factories, the creation of their literary societies and the manifestation of the keen interest in literature. Creative working youth, as a rule, were formed in the folk clubs and palaces of culture. Such clubs existed in almost all Kuntsevo enterprises of pre-revolutionary period as well as enterprises created in the years of industrialization. Special popularity was gained by the clubs “Precepts of Ilyich” and “Dawn” (Vorovskoi club). The study examines the participation of youth in dramatic and literary societies and their meetings with Soviet writers and poets: L. Seifullina, A. Serafimovich, A. Zharov, K. Paustovsky. Articles of working journalists were often published on the pages of factory newspapers. These Kuntsevo societies were the motheland of famous poets as V. Bagritskyand S. Smirnov.

On 29 December 2020, an earthquake with a magnitude of M 6.4 hit the central part of Croatia. The earthquake resulted in casualties and damaged buildings in the town of Petrinja (~6 km away from the epicenter) and surrounding areas. This study aims to characterize ground displacement and to estimate the location of damaged areas following the Petrinja earthquake using six synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images (C-band) acquired from both ascending and descending orbits of the Sentinel-1 mission. Phase information from both the ascending (Sentinel-1A) and descending (Sentinel-1B) datasets, acquired from SAR interferometry (InSAR), is used for estimation of ground displacement. For damage mapping, we use histogram information along with the RGB method to visualize the affected areas. In sparsely damaged areas, we also propose a method based on multivariate alteration detection (MAD) and naive Bayes (NB), in which pre-seismic and co-seismic coherence maps and geocoded intensity maps are the main independent variables, together with elevation and displacement maps. For training, approximately 70% of the data are employed and the rest of the data are used for validation. The results show that, despite the limitations of C-band SAR images in densely vegetated areas, the overall accuracy of MAD+NB is ~68% compared with the results from the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS).

The article presents a description of Elk after World War 2, seen from a perspective ofindividuals. The pictures of the town are based on the memories of 15 people, who live in Elknowadays. The selection of respondents was targeted. The group is differentiated in the categories:age and place of origin. Among the interviewees there are people, who were living in Elk and thenearby areas before World War 2, also those who moved there after the war from Vilnius Region,Republic of Lithuania, nearby areas of Grodno (Hrodna) and Nowogrod, Suwalki Region, Regionof Kurpie, surrounding areas of Grajewo and Szczuczyn, and finally those who were born afterWorld War 2 in Elk and in other places. The respondents see Elk differently, because they havebeen living there during various historical periods, however their individual perceptions andmemories were taken into consideration. The following questions have been asked: what typesof accommodation were Elk citizens living after World War 2, how they perceived their city indifferent historical periods, what were they doing for living, how looked their cultural life, whatwere their social relations? Data analysis, based on the interviews, answers above questions andpresents subjective picture of everyday live.

The Town

The title of this text, From the Book of Madness and Atrocity, published here for the first time, indicates its generic and stylistic specificity, its fragmentary, incomplete character. It suggests that this text is part of a greater whole, still incomplete, or one that cannot be grasped. In this sense Śreniowski refers to the topos of inexpressibility of the Holocaust experience. The text is reflective in character, full of metaphor, and its modernist style does not shun pathos. Thus we have here meditations emanating a poetic aura, not a report or an account of events. The author emphasises the desperate loneliness of the dying, their solitude, the incommensurability of the ghetto experience and that of the occupation, and the lack of a common fate of the Jews and the Poles (“A Deserted Town in a Living Capital”; “A Town within a Town”; “And the Capital? A Capital, in which the town of a death is dying . . . ? Well, the Capital is living a normal life. Under the occupation, indeed . . . .”).
