  • Some Remarks on the Origin of Ideology of Divine Warfare in Early Dynastic Lagaš
    ISSN 2518-1521 (Online), ISSN 2226-2830 (Print) ВІСНИК МАРІУПОЛЬСЬКОГО ДЕРЖАВНОГО УНІВЕРСИТЕТУ СЕРІЯ: ІСТОРІЯ. ПОЛІТОЛОГІЯ, 2017, ВИП. 18 The historiographic review of M. Hrushevsky’s sociological researches emphasized the many-sided nature of the prominent historian’s scientific heritage. Especially it concerns the representatives of the emigrant and contemporary Ukrainian historical science. The historians of diaspora (L.Vynar, S. Zabrovarny, O. Pritsak) proved that the sociological-comparative method used by M. Hrushevsky in the historical research as social, economic and cultural synthesis of the nation’s history enhanced the capabilities to study it more systematically. It was stated that the outstanding scientist popularized the social history of Ukraine in the West-European scientific community with the help of his public lectures on historic and sociological topics. The contemporary Ukrainian historians (V. Bilodid, O. Kopylenko, V. Telvak, L. Chugaevska, I. Shostak, O. Yas and others) analysed the historian’s sociological works and stated world outlook evolution of Mykhailo Hrushevsky from the romantic narodnik movement to the critical rethinking of sociology. The analysis of M. Hrushevsky’s sociological heritage defined the interrelation of “public and national” and the state system as well as the main issues of sociology as a science and sociological ideas in Ukrainian national studies. The contemporary historians traced rethinking the historian’s research strategies. Key words: sociological works, emigrant period, historiographic analysis, Ukrainian historians, historians of diaspora, contemporary scientists. УДК 355.48(358) V.

  • Linguistic Study About the Origins of the Aegean Scripts
    Anistoriton Journal, vol. 15 (2016-2017) Essays 1 Cretan Hieroglyphics The Ornamental and Ritual Version of the Cretan Protolinear Script The Cretan Hieroglyphic script is conventionally classified as one of the five Aegean scripts, along with Linear-A, Linear-B and the two Cypriot Syllabaries, namely the Cypro-Minoan and the Cypriot Greek Syllabary, the latter ones being regarded as such because of their pictographic and phonetic similarities to the former ones. Cretan Hieroglyphics are encountered in the Aegean Sea area during the 2nd millennium BC. Their relationship to Linear-A is still in dispute, while the conveyed language (or languages) is still considered unknown. The authors argue herein that the Cretan Hieroglyphic script is simply a decorative version of Linear-A (or, more precisely, of the lost Cretan Protolinear script that is the ancestor of all the Aegean scripts) which was used mainly by the seal-makers or for ritual usage. The conveyed language must be a conservative form of Sumerian, as Cretan Hieroglyphic is strictly associated with the original and mainstream Minoan culture and religion – in contrast to Linear-A which was used for several other languages – while the phonetic values of signs have the same Sumerian origin as in Cretan Protolinear. Introduction The three syllabaries that were used in the Aegean area during the 2nd millennium BC were the Cretan Hieroglyphics, Linear-A and Linear-B. The latter conveys Mycenaean Greek, which is the oldest known written form of Greek, encountered after the 15th century BC. Linear-A is still regarded as a direct descendant of the Cretan Hieroglyphics, conveying the unknown language or languages of the Minoans (Davis 2010).

  • REVIEW History of Cannabis and Its Preparations in Saga, Science, And
    1614 CHEMISTRY & BIODIVERSITY – Vol. 4 (2007) REVIEW History of Cannabis and Its Preparations in Saga, Science, and Sobriquet by Ethan B. Russo 20402 81st Avenue SW, Vashon, WA 98070, USA (e-mail: [email protected]) Cannabis sativa L. is possibly one of the oldest plants cultivated by man, but has remained a source of controversy throughout its history. Whether pariah or panacea, this most versatile botanical has provided a mirror to medicine and has pointed the way in the last two decades toward a host of medical challenges from analgesia to weight loss through the discovery of its myriad biochemical attributes and the endocannabinoid system wherein many of its components operate. This study surveys the history of cannabis, its genetics and preparations. A review of cannabis usage in Ancient Egypt will serve as an archetype, while examining first mentions from various Old World cultures and their pertinence for contemporary scientific investigation. Cannabis historians of the past have provided promising clues to potential treatments for a wide array of currently puzzling medical syndromes including chronic pain, spasticity, cancer, seizure disorders, nausea, anorexia, and infectious disease that remain challenges for 21st century medicine. Information gleaned from the history of cannabis administration in its various forms may provide useful points of departure for research into novel delivery techniques and standardization of cannabis-based medicines that will allow their prescription for treatment of these intractable medical conditions. Contents 1. Introduction 2. The Ticklish Matter of Taxonomy 3. A Bit of Geography 4. Cannabis Preparations: Bhang, Ganja, and Charas 5. History of Medicinal Cannabis 5.1.

    78 Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Informatics and Information Technology ORIGINS OF CONTEMPORARY INFORMATICS K. Zdravkova Institute of Informatics, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Sts. Cyril and Methodius University, Arhimedova bb, PO BOX 162, Skopje, Macedonia [email protected] Abstract: Throughout many centuries calculation was mainly connected with mathematics. In recent times with an average delay of a decade, inventions in electronics and telecommunications made possible the growth of calculation into computing. Nowadays, informatics implements shortly technological miracles from many scientific disciplines. This paper gives a short review of those discov- eries that have significantly influenced contemporary information technology. Keywords: history of mathematics and informatics, computer industry, software industry 1. Pre-informatics era According to archaeologists, Neolithic peoples in the 45th century BC have al- ready used quantities, ten centuries earlier than Egypt hieroglyphs and Sumerian script in Mesopotamia were invented. This is the beginning of primitive calculus, with no doubt performed on fingers. The evidence for this fact is that Egyptian in the 35th century BC developed a symbol for 10. Latin name for the first calcula- tion tool is digitus. Although there is no evidence of any mathematical reasoning at that time, it is obvious that ancient Egyptians demonstrated remarkable mathematical sense still visible in their buildings. It is particularly manifested at Keops pyramid that was built in the period between 2.600 BC and 2.480 BC. The ratio of the hypotenuse and the smaller side of its meridial triangle is identical to the golden cut. This is exactly the same value at which the ratio between consecutive elements of Fibo- nacci series tend.

Examples from historical eras between the 1st and 20th Dynasties are presented, analysed and aspects of quality and innovation are outlined in each one. The leadership of the ancient Egyptians in the four industries studied in the paper was pointed out and illustrated. The application of remarkable mechanical technology is focused in the production of bread, wine and perfume.

  • Art History Time Line
    Art History Timeline Prehistoric Art (c.30,000-2000 BC) Cave painting, Hall of Bulls (Lascaux, France c15,000 BC) In the history of art, prehistoric art is all art produced in preliterate, prehistorical cultures beginning somewhere in very late geological history, and generally continuing until that culture either develops writing or other methods of record-keeping, or makes significant contact with another culture that has, and that makes some record of major historical events. At this point ancient art begins, for the older literate cultures. The end-date for what is covered by the term thus varies greatly between different parts of the world. Ancient Egyptian Art (c.3000-30BC) Egyptian Tomb paintings. The Queen playing chess, (Tomb Nefertari, Thebes, c1255BC) Art of ancient Egypt Description Description Ancient Egyptian art refers art produced in ancient Egypt between the 31st century BC and the 4th century AD. It includes paintings, sculptures, drawings on papyrus, faience, jewelry, ivories, architecture, and other art media. It is also very conservative: the art style changed very little over time. Classical Greek Art (c.500-320BC) Myrons Discus Thrower (c.450BC) replica Ancient Greek art stands out among that of other ancient cultures for its development of naturalistic but idealized depictions of the human body, in which largely nude male figures were generally the focus of innovation. Ancient Rome c.509BC-330AD Colosseum, (70-80 AD, Temple of Peace, Rome) The art of Ancient Rome and its Empire includes architecture, painting, sculpture and mosaic work. Luxury objects in metal-work, gem engraving, ivory carvings, and glass are sometimes considered to be minor forms of Roman art, although they were not considered as such at the time.
