The Queen of Sheba, best known for visiting Solomon at the height of his rule, is commonly understood to be one of the most famous Black queens of the Bible. However, biblical texts record nothing of her family or people, any physical characteristics, nor where, precisely, Sheba is located. How did this association between the Queen of Sheba and Blackness become naturalized? This article answers this question by mapping three first millennium textual moments that racialize the Queen of Sheba through attention to geography, skin color, and lineage in the writings of Origen of Alexandria, Flavius Josephus, and Abu Ja’afar al-Tabari. These themes are transformed in the Ethiopic text the Kebra Nagast, which positively claims the Queen of Sheba as an African monarch in contrast to the Othering that is prominent in earlier texts. The Kebra Nagast has a complex afterlife, one which acts as the ground for the also-complex modern reception of the character of the Queen of Sheba.

<em>Increased consumption of fruit requires consumers to understand how to choose good and ripe fruit. The level of fruit maturity can be known based on physical characteristics, including the parameters of size, weight, skin color, fragrance of the fruit, and the level of hardness of the fruit flesh. Determining the level of fruit maturity based on physical characteristics has a weakness that is subjective and inconsistent. Making indicators based on natural dyes, namely anthocyanins, to determine the level of sweetness of the fruit. The purpose of this research is to use anthocyanin pigments as an indicator of fruit sweetness level to determine fruit maturity. This research is an experimental laboratory and qualitative descriptive analysis with stages; Sample Extraction, Indicator Making, Indicator Application, Fruit Acidity Testing, Data Analysis. Based on the results of the study, there were quite visible color differences on toothpicks after being inserted into the fruit samples with a sweet taste and the fruit samples with a sour taste. The indicator shows that fruit with a sour taste (pH &lt; 3) changes color from blue to reddish purple. If the taste is not too sour (pH 5), it does not experience a significant color change. In conclusion, the anthocyanins in telang flower can be used as an indicator solution because they have a blue color at neutral pH, a reddish color at pH = 2, the red color fades at pH = 3 and 4, and there is no color change at pH 5.</em>

<p>Various types of facial anatomy landmarks which must have an appropriate proportion to the size of the tooth is interalar width, intercommisural width, interpupillary width, intercanthal width, and byzigomatic width. Different facial anatomy landmark is influenced by age, gender, region of residence and origin of his tribe. Tribe or race is a race classification based on physical characteristics, such as face shape, hair, and skin color. The tribes who originally inhabited the Southeast Sulawesi namely Tolaki tribe, Muna tribe and Buton tribe. All three of these tribes have typical anatomical landmarks.</p><p>The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between interalar width and intercommisural width against mesiodistal incisivus centralis width in a group of Buton tribe. Ninety five Buton tribe subjects aged 17-25 were selected. The interalar width, intercommisural width, and mesiodistal incisor centralis teeth were measured using caliper about three times for accuracy and precision. The degree of correlation between interalar width against mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width was 0.278 and 0.325 in Buton tribe and females (p&lt;0.05) and 0.168 in males (p&gt;0.05). the degree of correlation etweenintercommisural width against mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width was 0.310 and 0.420 in Buton tribe and females (p&lt;0.05) and 0.125 in males (p&gt;0.05). The degree of correlation between interalar width against intercommisural width was 0.565,0.585, and 0.455 in Buton tribe , males and females (p&lt;0.05). In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between interalar width and incommisural width against mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width in a group of Buton tribe. Interalar width and intercommisural width directly proportional to mesiodistal incisor centralis maxilla width in both of gender of Buton tribe.</p>

SummaryChromatographed thrombin in the presence of both 50 Kallikrein inhibitor units of Trasylol per ml and 0.1 M E-ACA solubilized fibrin and the products of lysis possessed anticoagulant properties. The peak of the antithrombic activity coincided with the time of complete lysis of the fibrin clot, plasmin lysed fibrin exhibited the peak of its antithrombic activity much earlier. The effect of thrombin lysed fibrin on the prothrombin consumption of shed blood was found to be inhibitory.The products of the digestion of fibrin by thrombin and by plasmin, isolated at an advanced stage of proteolysis were compared by gel filtration, disc electrophoresis and DEAE cellulose chromatography. Differences in physical characteristics of these fibrin breakdown products offer evidence that they were produced by two different enzymes.
