Results of comparative complex investigation are provided for diamonds from primary bodies of Mirny kimberlite field, among which three groups are distinguished sharply differing by typomorphic features of crystals, related with three separated in time phases of diamondiferous magmatism (I — vein A-21; II— pipes Taezhnaya and Amakinskaya; III — pipes Mir, International, XXIII-rd CPSU Congress, Dachnaya and Sputnik). For the first earliest group low content of octahedral is typical, with prevalence of individuals of rhombic dodecahedral habit; the second group is noted for approximately equal ratio of octahedral and rhombic dodecahedral habit crystals; sharp prevalence of coarse-laminar crystals of octahedral and transitive from it to rhombic dodecahedral habit is characteristic for the third group of most high-productive diatremes. Utilization of typomorphic features of crystals for reconstruction of exogenous history of diamonds on the way from primary sources to the places of modern location in placers, for paleogeographial reconstructions of ancient productive thick layers' reconstructions and clearing out directions of diamondiferous material drift, which will promote prospecting of their primary sources, has important significance.

Basing on generalization of large actual material on complex investigation of diamond, its characteristic in Upper Paleozoic and  Mesozoic sedimentary thick layers of the Siberian platform has been  provided. It has allowed receiving new data on composition features  and distribution of diamond in recent sediments of main  diamondiferous regions of Lena-Anabar, Central-Siberian and  Tungusskaya sub-provinces. On the north-east of Siberian platform,  the region of Kyutyungdinsky graben and nearby territories,  perspective for the discovery of rich kimberlite bodies with specific  dia- monds, are of the most interest. Special attention has been paid to the Central-Siberian sub-province, where it has been convincingly  shown that the area of development of individual diamond macro- associations is limited by a specific diamondiferous region, within  which complexes of different in age terrigenous and coastal Upper  Paleozoic and Mesozoic sediments are developed. The complex of  features of diamonds from placers of the described platform testifies  by morphology, coloration, hard inclusions, internal structure,  photoluminescence and admixture composition about plurality of  primary sources and availability of still undiscovered kimberlite  bodies within many diamondiferous regions. Application of  typomorphic features of crystals for restoration of exogenous history of diamonds on the path from primary sources to the sites of modern allocation in placers, as well as for paleogeographical reconstructions of distribution of ancient productive thick layers and clarification of  diamondiferous material drift direction, has a significant importance.  Proximity of typomorphic features of diamonds in sedimentary thick  layers of these ages, identified in some diamondiferous regions,  testifies about formation of these collectors due to washout of more  ancient productive layers or Middle Paleozoic primary sources.  Polygeny of mineralogical associations of diamonds from different in age placers within some diamondiferous regions has been noted,  which may be successfully used when forecasting and prospecting primary sources of the mineral.

AbstractThis article is the third in a series of studies on The History of the Rechabites. The first, "The Story of Zosimus or The History of the Rechabites?,"1 established the independent identity of this text within the Christian monastic work, The Story of Zosimus, and was a sort of prolegomena to the study of this text. The second, "Towards a Critical-Introduction to The History of the Rechabites,"2 sought to address the standard introductory issues, such as date, original language, provenance and purpose. The present paper seeks to examine the text verse-by-verse, and to offer a commentary on it. Or, rather, an initial commentary. No commentary of any sort has ever been offered on the Greek text of HistRech before, and it would be foolhardy to claim that any one scholar could perceive all the allusions and meanings in a particular text at a first attempt. This commentary, then, is offered in the same spirit as my two previous studies on HistRech: as a step along the way towards unravelling the meaning of this pseudepigraphon about the Rechabites, not as the last word on the subject.

This concluding chapter traces the history of classic noir by reflecting on the way in which the genre has been discursively constituted through its beginnings and endings, an act of periodization that typically entails nominating particular films as the first and last noir in order to differentiate the intervening films from, respectively, proto- and neo-noir. While the recent interest in Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) is one sign that Boris Ingster's film has supplanted The Maltese Falcon (1941) as the first, titular American noir, recent transnational readings of the genre have problematized the reflexive determination of classic noir as a strictly American phenomenon. In fact, the impact of Odds against Tomorrow (1959) on transnational neo-noir indicates that the end or terminus of the classical era is just as provisional—just as open to interpretation and therefore, revision—as its origin.

The second article in this series on the history of evaluation use has three sections. The first and longest develops a functional definition of the term use, noting that a thorough definition of evaluation use includes the initial stimulus (i.e., evaluation findings or process), the user, the way people use the information, the aspect of the program considered, and the purpose. It then defines evaluation use’s unethical companion, misuse, detailing the distinction between the two. The second section briefly discusses a broadened concept of evaluation impact that expands to include evaluation influence. Finally, the third section summarizes the factors that research has shown to be related to evaluation use.

Basing on generalization of large actual material on complex investigation of diamond its characteristic in Upper Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary thick layers of the Siberian platform is provided. Special attention is paid to the Central-Siberian sub-province, where it is convincingly shown that the area of development of individual diamond macro-associations is limited by a specific diamondiferous region, within which complexes of different in age terrigenous and coastal Upper Paleozoic and Mesozoic sediments are developed. Identified in some diamondiferous regions proximity of typomorphic features of diamonds in sedimentary thick layers of these ages testifies about formation of these collectors due to washout of more ancient productive layers or Middle Paleozoic primary sources. Polygeny of mineralogical associations of diamonds from different in age placers within some diamondiferous regions was noted, which may be successfully used when forecasting and prospecting primary sources of the mineral. Diamond and its tipomorphic features are one of the main criteria for forecasting and searching for root sources Materials on heterogeneity of the Viljujsko-Marhinska zone of deep faults with respect to productive kimberlite magmatism, which is associated with areals of the hard consolidated basement of the Archean age (Botuobinskij and Tjungskij cratons) obtained in the framework of medium scale forecast and search studies of typomophic features of diamonds have an important practical conclusion. The results of a study of the typomorphic features of diamonds from the most well-studied kimberlite bodies indicatle heterogeneities in the structure of the upper mantle even within the Central Siberian diamondiferous subprovince, especially with respect to the distributionof focirly rare coloured crystals (II, III and IV varieties) presumably of ecbgite genesis, associated with deep diamandiferous xenoliths of various composition. These varieties of diamonds are rare and accessory in kimberlite bodies, however their findings in rashes even in a single amount, can serve as a basis for localizing the territory of the search for indigenous sources. The analysis of typomorphic features of diamonds indicates the high prospectivity of placer oceurrences of the Central Siberian diamondiferous pronnce for the discovety of new highly productive kimberlite pipes.

Pietrzak Maciej, O-bi, o-ba: Koniec cywilizacji – postpiśmienny świat Piotra Szulkina [O-Bi, O-Ba: The End of Civilization – The Postliterate World of Piotr Szulkin]. „Przestrzenie Teorii” nr 32. Poznań 2019, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, pp. 273–284. ISSN 1644-6763. DOI 10.14746/pt.2019.32.14. Piotr Szulkin made his mark in the history of cinema primarily as the author of disturbing visions of the future. His four films made between 1979 and 1985 comprised the science-fiction tetralogy, which is still one of the greatest artistic achievements of this genre in Polish cinema. The subject of the article is the third production of Szulkin’s series – the post-apocalyptic film O-Bi, O-Ba: The End of Civilization from 1984. In the film, the director creates a suggestive vision of a world destroyed as a result of nuclear conflict, in which the original functions of literature and the written word are forgotten. The author article analyzes the way in which forsaken literary artifacts are used in the post-literary reality of the film. An important element of his considerations is also the post-apocalyptic reception of the biblical text, on whose elements the mythology of the film’s world is based.

Hierdie artikel diep die geskiedenis van die eerste vertalings van die Heidelbergse Kategismus in Afrikaans uit die primêre bronne op. Die Belydenisskrifte (insluitende die Kategismus) is gedurende die eerste helfte van die twintigste eeu in Afrikaans oorgesit tydens ’n vertalingsprojek waaraan die drie Hollands-Afrikaanse Kerke van gereformeerde belydenis saamgewerk het. In hierdie geskiedenis kan drie fases onderskei word. Die aanvanklike fase (1913–1927) eindig in die gemeenskaplike oortuiging dat die werk aan die Bybelvertalers oorgelaat moet word. Daarmee is beslag gegee aan ’n tweede fase (1927–1936). In 1936 is die vertaling voltooi en in ’n Formulierboek vir die ‘drie Hollandse Kerke’ gepubliseer. Die derde fase (1936–1950) behels die ontvangs van die Formulierboek. Slegs die Gereformeerde Kerk in Suid-Afrika (GKSA) het die vertaling amptelik aanvaar, omdat dit op die Nederlandse teksuitgawe berus het wat F.L. Rutgers in samewerking met Herman Bavinck en Abraham Kuyper in 1897 vir die Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland besorg het. Die ander twee Kerke het aansluiting gevind by hulle eie negentiende-eeuse tekstradisie. In 1945 het die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika (NHK) ’n eie vertaling asBelydenisskrifte, gebede en formuliere die lig laat sien. Hierdie vertaling is gebaseer op die (Nederlandse) krities bewerkte teksuitgawe wat Van Toornenbergen in sy boek, De symbolische schriften (1895), opgeneem het. Die Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk (NGK) het in 1950 sy vertaling van die Belydenisskrifte en Formuliere voltooi. Dit is hoofsaaklik geanker in die (Nederlandse) tekste van die Formulierboek der N.G. Kerk in Z. Afrika (1907), wat op sy beurt ook in ooreenstemming was met die tekstradisie waarmee Van Toornenbergen gewerk het. This article traces the history of the first Afrikaans translations of the Heidelberg Catechism from primary sources. In a mutual project the three Dutch-Afrikaans and reformed churches translated their Doctrinal Standards (including the Catechism) during the first half of the twentieth century in Afrikaans. In this regard three phases can be distinguished. The initial phase (1913–1927) ended in the decision to assign the work of translation to the Bible translators. That inaugurated the second phase (1927–1936). In 1936, their translation was completed and a Formulierboek was published for the ‘three Dutch Churches’. The reception of theFormulierboek constituted the third distinctive phase (1936–1950). Only the Reformed Church in South Africa (GKSA) officially accepted the translation, because it was based on the recognised Dutch text edition prepared by F.L. Rutgers in collaboration with Herman Bavinck and Abraham Kuyper for the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands in 1897. The other two Afrikaans Churches followed different text editions. In 1945, the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika (NHK) published its own translation of the Belydenisskrifte, gebede en formuliere. This translation is based on the (Dutch) critically edited text edition of Van Toornenbergen, published in his book, De symbolische schriften (1895). In 1950 the Dutch Reformed Church (NGK) received its translation of the Doctrinal Standards and Formularies. This translation was rooted in the (Dutch) texts of the Formulierboek der N.G. Kerk in Z. Afrika (1907), which was in turn also embedded in the Van Toornenbergen text tradition.

The chapter explores how labels can be used in international law-making to reinforce cognitive associations. Its first section defines the notion of labels and explains the relevance of labels in the literature on framing. The second section presents an empirical case-study on the use of frames and labels: the history of negotiations of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). Drawing on primary sources and on the travaux préparatoires, the chapter reviews how the making of the FCTC was supported by framing and labelling. Finally, the third section of the chapter reflects on how analysing labels can enhance our understanding of international law.

This article intends to sketch a history of some of the principle ideas, themes and values buttressing New Zealand Muslim thought and Weltanschauung. The argument is predicated upon the hypothesis that in defining religious and spiritual identity one of the most vital aspects to be taken into consideration are the multiple differences in epistemological, methodological and ontological assumptions as we try to comprehend the primary sources of religious knowledge and practice. In the first section of the article, the general heuristic and methodology of describing and demarcating the identities of Muslims, or ways of being a Muslim in New Zealand, in an existential sense, is presented. The second part discusses research that has detected and delineated Muslim identity among New Zealand citizens. The third section attempts to present an elucidation on some of the main topics underpinning the worldview of local Muslims, including the precepts of religio-communal authority, autonomy and agency, and ideas related to the conceptualisation and interpretation Islamic traditions.

This chapter discusses the history of Buddhist studies as a modern academic discipline. Rather than giving a broad bibliographic survey of the field, it explores the way in which power has structured its genesis and development as a system for the production of knowledge. The first section of the chapter describes the confluence of Orientalism and Western presuppositions about the nature of “religion” that shaped the direction of Buddhist studies in its first century. The second section then turns to older systems of knowledge-cum-power that were both drawn upon and disrupted by colonial Buddhist studies. Finally, the third section makes the argument that “decolonization,” while allowing for a critique of colonial Buddhist studies, has not led to an end to the intertwining of power and knowledge production in Buddhist studies, but rather to its transformation.
