For the period 2016–2019 a significant number of previously unknown petroglyphs were revealed in the Elovy 3 panel (the Elovy Island, Kanozero Lake). Detection of petroglyphs was facilitated by the use of photogrammetry techniques, careful night photographing of the panel with petroglyphs. The total number of new revealed rock carvings is is over 150, among them about hundred figures are recognizable and fall into one of the categories accepted in the study of rock art (anthropomorphs, zoomorphs, etc.).These findings expand our ideas about the stylistic diversity of the Kanozero petroglyphs. In this work, new motifs and compositions of rock carvings are introduced, both having analogues and previously not typical for the Kanozero rock art complex.

Stylistic Diversity

For the period 2017–2019 five new groups of petroglyphs and a significant number of previously unknown ones in already documented panels of petroglyphs were revealed on the rocky islands of the Kanozero Lake. The discovery of petroglyphs was facilitated by the use of photogrammetric techniques, as well as careful night photographing of rocks with petroglyphs. This publication presents findings of five new panels with more than 40 petroglyphs in total. These findings expand our ideas about the stylistic diversity of the Kanozero petroglyphs, about the range of heights above level of the lake on which stylistically close petroglyphs were made. In this work, new motifs and compositions of rock carvings are introduced, both having analogues and previously nottypical of Kanozero.

History Of

In 1929, commenting on southern Africa’s rock art, Leo Frobenius remarked: ‘… oddities occur which are completely outside our understanding. There are large forms, shaped like galls or livers, into which human figures are painted …’ (1929: 333). He coined the term‘formling’ to ‘denote this composite type of forms and yet not easily explained’ (Goodall 1959: 62, my emphasis). These motifs (FIGURE 1) still remain poorly understood. In 1998, I began research into their form and meaning. In this note I set out the history of the formling debate and introduce some of my new findings.

Dual Inheritance

Several aspects of the depiction of animals in rock art can be explained by certain perceptual correlates relating to the visual brain and evolutionary factors. Recent evidence from neuroscience and the visual brain not only corroborates this claim but provides important new findings that can help delineate which graphic features relate to biological/genetic criteria. In addition to highlighting how the insights from visual science and evolutionary studies can promote a greater understanding of the depictive strategies employed to portray animals, this paper will also explore ways in which the findings from these disciplines can be assimilated with semiotics that provide novel insights into the preference for depicting animals in a particular format over an extended period. The emphasis throughout is placed on dual-inheritance theory where culture and evolutionary determinants are seen as complementary.

Abstract. The Similarity of Traditions and Symbols: Comparative Study of Recent Rock Art in Indo-Malaysia. As an ancient art, rock art, in general, is always associated with the prehistoric hunter-gatherer communities in the upper Paleolithic period or about 40,000 years ago. However, it was later discovered that the tradition of drawing/painting inside the cave was still practiced by modern hunter-gatherer communities in the 19th century, especially in the Indo-Malaysian region. This article seeks to conduct a comparative study of "recent" rock art in Lenggong Region, Perak, Peninsular Malaysia with the new findings of "recent" rock art from Bukit Bulan Region, Sarolangun, Jambi, Sumatera Island, Indonesia. The method used is a comparative analysis that seeks similarities from attributes such as techniques, motifs, sizes, and characters. The results show that both recent “young” rock art in the two regions are somehow alike. Also, contextual studies show the existence of similar traditions and behavior between modern hunter-gatherer communities in both regions.   Abstrak. Gambar cadas sebagai kesenian purba pada umumnya selalu dikaitkan dengan manusia prasejarah, yakni pemburu-peramu pada masa paleolitik atas atau sekitar 40.000 tahun yang lalu. Setelah itu, belakangan telah diketahui bahwa tradisi menggambar di dalam gua masih dilakukan oleh  masyarakat pemburu-peramu modern pada abad ke-19, khususnya di wilayah Indo-Malaysia. Artikel ini dimaksudkan untuk melakukan studi perbandingan terhadap gambar cadas “muda” di Kawasan Lenggong, Perak, Semenanjung Malaysia, dengan temuan baru berupa gambar cadas “muda” di Kawasan Bukit Bulan, Sarolangun, Jambi, Pulau Sumatra, Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis komparatif untuk mencari kesamaan dari atribut, seperti teknik, motif, ukuran, dan karakter. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa banyak kesamaan atribut pada gambar cadas “muda” pada kedua situs. Selain itu, kajian kontekstual juga menunjukkan adanya tradisi dan pola perilaku yang serupa antara masyarakat pemburu-peramu modern di kedua wilayah tersebut.

Hearing research is important not only for clinical, professional and military medicine, but also for toxicology, gerontology and genetics. Ultrastructure of the cochlea attracts much attention of electron microscopists, (1―3) but the research lags far behind that of the other parts of the organnism. On the basis of careful microdissection, technical improvment and accurate observation, we have got some new findings which have not been reported in the literature.We collected four cochleas from human corpses. Temporal bones dissected 1 h after death and cochleas perfused with fixatives 4 h after death were good enough in terms of preservation of fine structures. SEM:The apical surface of OHCs (Outer hair cells) and DTs (Deiters cells) is narrower than that of IPs (Inner pillar cells). The mosaic configuration of the reticular membrane is not typical. The stereocilia of IHCs (Inner hair cells) are not uniform and some kinocilia could be seen on the OHCs in adults. The epithelial surface of RM (Reissner’s membrane) is not smooth and no mesh could be seen on the mesothelial surface of RM. TEM.

New Findings

Most Gram-positive bacteria contain a membrane-bound transpeptidase known as sortase which covalently incorporates the surface proteins on to the cell wall. The sortase-displayed protein structures are involved in cell attachment, nutrient uptake and aerial hyphae formation. Among the six classes of sortase (A–F), sortase A of S. aureus is the well-characterized housekeeping enzyme considered as an ideal drug target and a valuable biochemical reagent for protein engineering. Similar to SrtA, class E sortase in GC rich bacteria plays a housekeeping role which is not studied extensively. However, C. glutamicum ATCC 13032, an industrially important organism known for amino acid production, carries a single putative sortase (NCgl2838) gene but neither in vitro peptide cleavage activity nor biochemical characterizations have been investigated. Here, we identified that the gene is having a sortase activity and analyzed its structural similarity with Cd-SrtF. The purified enzyme showed a greater affinity toward LAXTG substrate with a calculated KM of 12 ± 1 µM, one of the highest affinities reported for this class of enzyme. Moreover, site-directed mutation studies were carried to ascertain the structure functional relationship of Cg-SrtE and all these are new findings which will enable us to perceive exciting protein engineering applications with this class of enzyme from a non-pathogenic microbe.
