Discussed are Greek, Italic and Macedonian bronze vessels found in Scythia and Maoitia. In general, mostly contemporary new vessels were received by the nomads, which quite often in course of durable usage lost some of their elements.The fact of durable usage of imported metalware is attested by the finds from well dated contexts of the ritual complexes of the Ulyap necropolis. The most valuable information is provided by the complex of 15 bronze vessels found near the village of Peschanoe in the valley of the River Supoi in the Dnieper basin, whose owner was designated as a trader of old metalware by W. Fuchs in 1978. A significant chronological dispersion of the vessels from the complex (ca. 150—170 years) makes us cautious about the idea that this was an ordinary trade cargo. Analysis of the traces of repair and losses of vessel elements shows that among them there are some, which may probably be the result of correcting of defects during the manufacture, as well as losses and re...

This anthology of poems was published in the Greek Newspaper "Avgi" as part of its series "Anthologists of the Month" in November 2015 (1-29/11/2015). "Aspects of Love" includes mostly (but not exclusively) early modern Greek poems (12th-18th c.). Among them the readers will find many popular texts emphasizing on popular laughter, the carnivalesque, carnal desires and the lower part of the body. They all represent fragmentary aspects of a patriarchal, misogynistic society, often scurrilous, sometimes discrete, but almost never prudish, and they all remain highly revealing as regards the social construction of love.

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) is a popular leafy vegetable in Ethiopia. However, the production and productivity of the crop are often constrained by several factors, such as deprived soil fertility and poor agronomic practices. Thus, a study was conducted in two locations in the East Gojjam zone of northwestern Ethiopia during the 2021/2022 cropping season to evaluate the effect of bud numbers and farmyard manure fertilizer rates on the growth and yield components of cabbage. Three numbers of cabbage buds (1, 2, and 3) and four levels of farmyard manure (0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 tons/ha) were laid out in a 3 × 4 factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on yield and quality were recorded and subjected to analysis of variance. The results revealed that growth, yield, and quality components were significantly influenced by the interaction effects of bud number and farmyard manure fertilizer rate. In both locations, the highest ...

This paper examined the Prospects and Challenges of operating an Islamic (Non-Interest) Banking System in Nigeria. In June, 2011, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) issued a new framework for the regulation and supervision of non‐interest financial institutions alongside the fact that it had licensed JAIZ Bank, the first full-fledge Islamic Bank to operate Interest-free banking in Nigeria. However, this announcement was met with mixed reactions. While a few supported the introduction, majority kicked against it. Little thought was given by the different parties over the basic idea behind its introduction and the gains the country could derive from it. A look at the performance of these banks across the globe revealed that it has the potential of guaranteeing financial inclusion for more Nigerians, providing alternative financial products and services which are ethical, ensuring stability in the Financial Sector and attracting huge Foreign Direct Investments. Even though the Islamic banks are going to be faced with stiff competition and several challenges like dearth of Manpower, Inadequate Shari’ah-compliant liquidity management instruments and a lack of knowledge of Islamic Finance, Accounting and Auditing standards, these challenges are however surmountable. The CBN and Islamic Bank Promoters must embark upon massive public awareness, encourage Human Capital Development in Islamic finance and chart ways of fully integrating and accommodating the Islamic Banks and their products into the Nigerian Financial Market.

This Special Issue presents new perspectives on the idea of digital citizenship by delving into the nexus between its emerging concepts, the consequences of the global pandemic crisis, and the urban environment. It does so by addressing a wide range of case studies from three continents and developing two main hypotheses. First, the COVID-19 outbreak has expanded the impact of digital technologies on citizens’ everyday life. Second, the urban realm is the environment where new citizenship regimes are emerging through platformization, datafication, and the rescaling of the state. To introduce the Special Issue, this article: (i) examines recent scholarship about the effects of the pandemic on digital citizenship; (ii) discusses and expands concepts of digital citizenship through case studies; and (iii) assesses how emerging forms of digital citizenship are fostered by uneven ‘pandemic citizenship’ regimes worldwide.

Augmented Reality sendiri adalah.. "sebuah konsep pelapisan konten visual yang di mana konsep tersebut di atas pemandangan dunia nyata seperti yang terlihat melalui sebuah kamera atau bisa juga diartikan sebagai gabungan antara dunia virtual dengan dunia nyata." 4 Augmented Reality, atau kadang dikenal dengan singkatan bahasa Inggrisnya AR, adalah teknologi yang menggabungkan benda maya dua dimensi dan ataupun tiga dimensi ke dalam sebuah lingkungan nyata tiga dimensi lalu memproyeksikan benda-benda maya tersebut dalam "Real Time" Tidak seperti realita yang sepenuhnya menggantikan kenyataan, realitas tertambah sekedar menambahkan atau melengkapi kenyataan. 5 Sistem Augmented Reality bekerja berdasarkan deteksi citra Sistem Augmented Reality bekerja berdasarkan deteksi citra. Dan citra yang digunakan adalah marker. Prinsip kerjanya sebenarnya cukup sederhana. 6 Webcam yang telah dikalibrasi akan mendeteksi marker yang diberikan, kemudian setelah mengenali dan menandai pola marker,webcam akan melakukan perhitungan apakah marker sesuai dengan database yang dimiliki. Bila tidak, maka informasi marker tidak akan diolah, tetapi bila sesuai maka informasi marker akan digunakan untuk me-render dan menampilkan objek 3D atau animasi yang telah dibuat sebelumnya. 7 Tahapan utama sistem Augmented Reality 1. Pertama-tama dibuat terlebih dahulu objek yang akan ditampilkan. Secara umum objek yang dibuat adalah benda 3D , foto, video, ataupun animasi yang dibuat dengan software perancangan objek seperti Google sketchup, 3DMax, atau dengan Blender. 8 2. Setelah objek jadi, maka objek tersebut akan disimpan ke dalam library. Kemudian setelah itu yang perlu dibuat adalah marker. Marker adalah sebuah penanda yang memiliki pola khusus. Marker yang digunakan untuk teknologi Augmented reality ini adalah pola kotak dengan standard tertentu. Marker inilah yang nantinya akan dideteksi oleh webcam untuk menampilkan objek. Setelah itu pola marker yang dibuat harus disimpan ke dalam library juga agar nantinya aplikasi yang dibuat dapat membedakannya dengan marker yang lain. Biasanya penyimpanan marker ini membutuhkan bantuan aplikasi lain seperti marker generator. 9 3. Kedua komponen utama yaitu marker dan objek telah jadi 3. Kedua komponen utama yaitu marker dan objek telah jadi. Setelah itu kita membuat aplikasi yang dapat membangkitkan objek dari marker yang dibuat dengan bantuan builder, untuk tugas akhir ini adalah dengan Adobe Flex SDK yang bersifat open source dan berbasis action script. 4. Mencoba dengan menghadapkan marker ke depan webcam. 10 Proses pendeteksian dan pengkalkulasian gambar yaitu : a. Get Webcam Image. Webcam mendeteksi seluruh citra yang berada di dalam lingkupannya. Saat ini webcam berfungsi seperti webcam biasa yaitu menampilkan gambar seperti kebalikan dari cermin. 11 b. Labeling Setelah itu akan ditemukan pola kotak-kotak yang merupakan pola dasar marker AR. Dari pola dasar inilah akan dilakukan labeling
