History Of

The Tell el-Farkha site is located immediately to the north of the modern village of Ghazalah and occupies an area of c. 4.5ha. It is marked by three hills: the Eastern Kom, Central Kom and Western Kom. This research will focus on the profile of the layers of sediment. These studies are important because they are innovative and contain information on the history of the site. Research work was conducted on site and produced graphs showing the composition of individual microartefacts within the sediment. Samples were taken from each profile layer then dissolved and sifted to obtain fine fractions. Laboratory work focused on the calculation of the percentage of different microartefacts in each sifted fine fraction. Photographs of selected microartefacts (bones, ceramics, carbon, quartz, and others) were taken using a binocular magnifier at 20x magnification. The examination of this material has provided both new and valuable information concerning the functioning and development of the archaeo-logical site.

The Subject

The north-west corner of Spain was long neglected by Roman archaeologists, who have tended to concentrate on the more spectacular remains to be found in the south and east. However, recently more attention has been directed there by workers of several nationalities, who have now produced a quite extensive literature on the gold mines, as well as on wider aspects, chiefly in connection with the activities of the legion VII Gemina. Yet there has been little attempt in all this to examine why a substantial military force was maintained in the region for so long. This paper aims to review that problem to about the end of the second century A.D. The evidence available is almost entirely epigraphic, chiefly consisting of epitaphs and religious dedications. Building inscriptions are scarce. For convenience all the epigraphic material from the north-west of Spain that is relevant to the disposition of the army is collected in the appendix, and in the main text reference will be made to the numbers given there. In addition a few historical passages are of importance, but the archaeological site evidence is very slight. The nature of the evidence is such that most attention must be devoted to the units attested in the region and their deployment, with little to be said about their actual bases. Previous work on the subject has been dominated by the late Antonio García y Bellido in several masterly papers. However it has tended to concentrate more on the history of the units themselves than on questions of topography and the reasons behind their presence.

The article «History of formation and activity of Council of Museums in museums of local history of the north-east of Kazakhstan in the 40-50s of the XX century» deals with the problem of organizing research in museums. The First All-Russian Museum Congress in 1931 contributed the transformation of museums from academic centers to cultural institutions and made scientific research impossible in museums. However, the lack of professionally trained personnel, the low level of scientific description of collections, construction of expositions, exhibitions, content of lectures and excursions, led to a gradual decline of the authority of museums. Based on the documents that were found in the funds of the State archives of Pavlodar region, Semipalatinsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk, the authors convincingly prove the flawed and erroneous attitudes of the congress. The study used archival documents on the creation of Council of Museums, their personnel composition, and main activities. It is proved that the need to revive the research activities of museums has led to new forms and methods of organizing research work. Council of Museums in local history museums of the north-east of Kazakhstan were established in the late 1940s. There were difficulties in organization due to the lack of specialists who could work in the museum on a voluntary basis. They attracted employees of party, soviet, and trade union organizations who were educated as teachers of geography and history. In special cases, managers of agriculture and industry were included. The members of the Council worked in three directions corresponding to the structure of the departments of local history museums of that time: nature, history, industry and agriculture. The Council of the Pavlodar regional Museum of Local History was registered only formally, its members did not meet and did not take any part in the activities of the museum. This was explained by the insufficient number of professional personnel, due to the lack of higher educational institutions in the region, as well as the employment of specialists in the main job. A significant number of interested specialists lived in Semipalatinsk and Ust-Kamenogorsk, forming a group of local history activists there, which had a positive impact on the creation and work of Council of Museums. Members of the councils gave lectures in the museum, went on business trips to collect exhibits, were engaged in the preparation, examination and adjustment of thematic and exposition plans, preparation of collected materials for exhibition, helped to establish the relationship of museums with administrative, industrial and public organizations. Museum employees could not perform such work on their own, due to the lack of necessary professional competencies and time. Thus, we can conclude that it is necessary to include third-party workers of science and education in the museum councils. The governing bodies and museum workers felt a lack of specialists in various fields of knowledge. The staff of the museums consisted of people without secondary, and in most cases higher education. They did not have the skills of systematization and were not familiar with the scientific methods of collecting and processing museum materials. The decisions of the Council of Museums were not official, but they were very significant and necessary. Without their activities, the museum practice of the region would not be so effective and efficient.

Статья посвящена изучению поэтического наследия – одной из многочисленных граней творчества кабардинского поэта, писателя, драматурга, ученого-лингвиста Бориса Кунеевича Утижева. Актуальность исследования продиктована, с одной стороны, недостаточной разработанностью некоторых жанров (сонет, баллада, стихотворения в прозе) в адыгской (кабардинской) литературе, с другой – необходимостью восполнения существующего пробела в изучении поэтического наследия Б. Утижева. Научная новизна исследования заключается в том, что поэзия указанного автора впервые стала предметом отдельного комплексного изучения в диалектике формы и содержания. В центре исследовательского внимания – лирические стихи и сонеты поэта. Отдельное внимание уделяется новаторскому жанру стихотворений в прозе, выявляется специфика их идейно-тематической и структурно-композиционной организации. Детализированному анализу подвергается единственная баллада «Песнь», дается жанровая характеристика, выявляется степень соответствия произведения заявленному автором жанру. В целом, в статье рассмотрена тематика и проблематика, эстетика и поэтика лирических и лиро-эпических произведений: выявлены основные мотивы, изучен богатый поэтический язык, представлена характеристика индивидуально-авторского стиля Утижева. Определен вклад поэта в эволюцию национальной поэзии. В работе использован ряд научных методов, в числе главных – анализ, описание, а также герменевтический метод. Полученные результаты могут стать подспорьем при изучении истории адыгских (адыгейской, кабардинской, черкесской, черкесского зарубежья) литератур, в более общем плане – литературы народов Северного Кавказа и Российской Федерации, а также при составлении спецкурсов и написании квалификационных и другого рода исследовательских работ. The article is devoted to the study of the poetic heritage of Boris Kuneevich Utizhev, that is one of the many facets of the work of the Kabardian poet, writer, playwright, scientist-linguist. The relevance of the study is dictated, on the one hand, by the insufficient development of some genres (sonnets, ballads, prose poems) in the Adyghe (Kabardian) literature, on the other hand, by the need to fill the existing gap in the study of B. Utizhev's poetic heritage. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the poetry of this author for the first time became the subject of a separate comprehensive study in the dialectic of form and content. The focus of research is the poet's poems and sonnets. Special attention is paid to the innovative genre of prose poems, the specificity of their ideological-thematic and structural-compositional organization is revealed. The only ballad "Song" is subjected to a detailed analysis, a genre characteristic is given, the degree of conformity of the work to the genre declared by the author is revealed. In general, the article examines the topics and problems, aesthetics and poetics of lyric and lyric-epic works: the main motives are revealed, the rich poetic language is studied, the characteristic of Utizhev’s individual author style is presented. The contribution of the poet to the evolution of national poetry is determined. A number of scientific methods were used in the work, among the main ones - analysis, description, as well as comparative-historical and hermeneutic methods. The results obtained can be helpful in studying the history of the Adyghe (Adyghean, Kabardian, Circassian, Circassian abroad) literatures, more generally – the literature of the peoples of the North Caucasus and the Russian Federation, as well as in the preparation of special courses and writing qualification and other types of research work.

AbstractThe archaeological site of Galindo, located in the Moche Valley, is one of the most important Late Moche (ca. A. D. 600—800) centers on the North Coast of Peru. The site was once thought to have been occupied only after the nearby Huacas de Moche, the paramount Middle Moche (ca. A. D. 300–600) center in the valley, was abandoned. Recent radiocarbon dates from the Huacas de Moche, however, indicate that it continued to be occupied well into the eighth century A. D. This paper presents data on the occupational history of Galindo recently obtained during the Galindo Archaeological Project (GAP). These data, along with similar data from the Huacas de Moche, present a new understanding of the occupational history of the Moche Valley during the first half of the Middle Horizon (A.D. 600–1000).

Ereke is one of regions in the north of Buton Island which grew in the authorization of Muna Palace.Under the threat of pirates and the greatness of Waolio Castle (Buton) and Muna, they built their government in a fortress (intra-murros). It was divided into some units with “kalisusu” as physical symbol of residential centre, and it became their identity. This paper will reveal the archaeological trackin historical landscape. To describe some aspects of community civilization in the history of Ereke archaeological site. At least since XV until XIX centuries. The purpose is to give initial information which can be developed in the broader and deeper research in the future. There was one significant thing found using archaeological survey, although cultural acculturation and assimilation occurred transparently, but the substantive element of local culture can hold up as the identity by adapting the external influence, such as defence system, fortress, armament, import goods, and religious order of the society. ABSTRAKEreke merupakan kawasan di sisi utara pulau Buton yang tumbuh dalam pengaruh penguasa keraton Muna. Di bawah ancaman bajak laut dan bayang-bayang kebesaran keraton Wolio (Buton) dan Muna, mereka membangun pemerintahan dalam benteng (intra-murros). Ruang benteng terbagi dalam beberapa unit, dengan “Kalisusu” sebagai simbol pusat permukiman, sekaligus menjadi identitas yang merekatkan. Tulisan ini akan mengungkapkan jejak arkeologis dalam bentang sejarah (historical landscape) untuk menggambarkan beberapa aspek peradaban komunitas di situs Ereke masa sejarah, sekurang-kurangnya sejak abad XV hingga XIX. Tujuannya, untuk memberikan informasi awal yang dapat dikembangkan dalam penelitian yang lebih luas dan mendalam di masa akan datang. Ada satu hal yang penting ditemukan dengan survei arkeologis, bahwa meskipun akulturasi dan assimilasi budaya berlangsung terbuka, namun unsur subtantif budaya lokal mampu bertahan sebagai identitas dengan tetap mengadaptasi anasir luar, seperti sistem pertahanan (benteng), persenjataan, barang impor, dan tatanan keagamaan.

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.

Genetic variety examination has demonstrated fundamental to the understanding of the epidemiological and developmental history of Papillomavirus (HPV), for the development of accurate diagnostic tests and for efficient vaccine design. The HPV nucleotide diversity has been investigated widely among high-risk HPV types. To make the nucleotide sequence of HPV and do the virus database in Thi-Qar province, and compare sequences of our isolates with previously described isolates from around the world and then draw its phylogenetic tree, this study done. A total of 6 breast formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) of the female patients were included in the study, divided as 4 FFPE malignant tumor and 2 FFPE of benign tumor. The PCR technique was implemented to detect the presence of HPV in breast tissue, and the real-time PCR used to determinant HPV genotypes, then determined a complete nucleotide sequence of HPV of L1 capsid gene, and draw its phylogenetic tree. The nucleotide sequencing finding detects a number of substitution mutation (SNPs) in (L1) gene, which have not been designated before, were identified once in this study population, and revealed that the HPV16 strains have the evolutionary relationship with the South African race, while, the HPV33 and HPV6 showing the evolutionary association with the North American and East Asian race, respectively.

This work interrogates federal character principle (FCP) in Nigeria. The FCP was designed to fundamentally address the striking features of Nigeria politics of intense struggles for power among the different ethnic groups in the country between the elites from the North and their Southern counterparts and the various segments, but the practice of FCP in Nigeria so far raises curiosity and doubts. Given the outcome of the interrogation, this research work discovered and conclude that federal character has not indeed achieve its objective in the Nigeria, the study finds that Ethnocentrism, Elitism, Mediocrity, Mutual suspicion amongst others accounts for some inhibiting factors of the FCP in Nigeria. Like many other provisions of the Constitution, the Federal Character principle was meant to correct some imbalances experienced in the past, but it has created more problems than it has attempted to solve. Rather than promote national unity, it has disunited Nigerians. There is an urgent need to use more of professionals and result oriented Nigerians to carry out national tasks, than to use unprogressive people due to this "Federal character" issue. Nigeria should be a place where one's track records and qualifications are far greater than just "where they come from" or their lineage if Nigerian truly want to progress.
