A small, thin, rectangular limestone plaque, bearing a five-line inscription, was copied by A.H. in the Konya Archaeological Museum in September 1980. The stone lacked an inventory number, and the Museum's staff could supply no information about its provenance. One may presume, however, that it has reached the Museum in recent years, probably after discovery in Konya itself. As will be demonstrated below, other grounds exist for supposing that it comes from Konya, but a provenance elsewhere in the Konya İli cannot be ruled out.The block is complete to left and right, probably complete above and below, broken behind: H. 0·16, W. 0·32, Th. 0·06, with letters varying between 1·5 and 3 cm. (the smallest on the bottom line) which are irregular in shape and unevenly set out on the stone (see photograph of squeeze, Plate XXVIIa). The face is slightly damaged at its top right-hand corner and at the bottom left.

 This article presents various points of view regarding the treatment of sunken fontanelle by various communities as ignited by the controversial practice of kutara(a practice that involves the father of a child sliding his penis from the lower part of the left and right cheeks to the top of the head, as well as from the lower part of the face to the top of the head, and from the lower back part of the head to the top). The story of Alick Macheso’s use of his manhood to treat nhova (sunken fontanelle) opened a Pandora’s box. The story not only attracted the attention of critics from diverse cultural and ethical backgrounds, but revealed multi-ethnic positions. That is, reactions were steeped in a multiplicity of intellectual, religious and even cultural grounding. Reactions ranged from accusations of backwardness and absurdity, through to medical and Christian orientations toward the treatment of nhova. The overarching idea is that there is a general tendency to dismiss the age-old practice of kutara,coupled with an uncritical celebration of certain positions. The debate that ensued following publication of the story seemed to revolve around ethical considerations. The school of thought that dismisses kutara with disdain regards it as unethical and unimaginable in the present-day world—it is redolent with insinuations of absurdity on the part of those that live and celebrate it. We contend that the raging debate that followed the publication of the story can best be conceptualised within the context of African ethics. We note that kutara has relevance to the spirituality, ethical values, privacy, and protection of children’s rights, among other ethical issues. It is hoped that the article will stir further debate and encourage more research among information practitioners, scholars and researchers into the ethical issues surrounding the treatment of sunken fontanelle in various African communities. It argues for an Afrocentric conceptualisation of phenomena in order to contribute to debates on the renaissance of African cultures, and stresses that it is imperative to harness the life-furthering age-old traditions in African ontological existence.

The news is old – neoliberalism is dead for good, but this time, even Financial Times knows it. Obituaries claim that it had died from the coronavirus, as the state, not the markets, have had to save both the people and the economy. The argument of the article is that these academic and media interpretations of ‘emergency Keynesianism’ misidentify neoliberalism with its anti-statist rhetoric. For neoliberalism is, and has always been, about ‘the free market and the strong state’. In fact, rather than waning in the face of the coronavirus crisis, neoliberal states around the world are using the ongoing ‘war against the virus’ to strengthen their right-hand grip on the conditions of the working classes.

AbstractFacial edemas not secondary to surgery and/or radiotherapy for head and neck cancer are relatively uncommon. Our aim is to report a retrospective analysis of the lymphoscintigraphic and SPECT-CT investigations obtained in patients with such facial edema. Retrospective review of exams (planar imagings in all and with SPECT-CT in 5) obtained after the subcutaneous injection of 99mTc HSA Nanosized colloids between the eyebrows in five men and seven women. Four main lymphatic pathways were identified on sequential planar imagings: para-nasal left and right and supra- ocular left and right. For eleven patients, the absence of visualization of lymphatic drainage and/or their delayed appearance correlated well with the localisation of the edematous areas. In two patients with post-traumatic and post- surgical edemas, SPECT-CT showed one deep left sided cervical lymph node (LN) in front of the first cervical vertebra. This lymphoscintigraphic approach represents a simple and valuable way to assess the lymphatic drainage pathways of the face and to establish the diagnosis of facial lymphedema.

The octopus in Manado language is called Boboca, while the local Talaud community is called Urrita. Octopus is used as food and bait. Information on octopus biology needs to be known as basic information in the management of octopus resources. This study aims to identify and provide information on octopus habitat in the waters of Salibabu. Collecting specimens using arrows (jubi). The morphology of the example octopus is identified as Octopus cyanea Gray, 1849. In the arms of the octopus there are white-colored spots. On the left and right side of the crown of the arm are two false eyes (ocellus). On the face of the ventral arm is a dark pole pattern above the pale or creamy base color. Characteristics of female morphomes generally have a larger size compared to males. Specimen habitats are found outside the nest at night and in the nest during the day time.Keywoeds: Octopus, Biology, Identify, Morphology, Morphometric, Habitat

Abstract When a page, represented by the interval $[0,1],$ is folded right over left $ n$ times, the right-hand fold contains a sequence of points. We specify these points and the order in which they appear in each fold. We also determine exactly where in the folded structure any point in $[0,1]$ appears and, given any point on the bottom line of the structure, which point lies at each level above it.

The chapter provides several rehearsal concepts that develop stronger rhythmic precision and phrasing concepts within the intermediate-advanced orchestra. Rhythmic precision depends the students’ ability to cognitively interpret and intrinsically feel the rhythmic notation correctly, as well as the students’ ability to maneuver the bow in such a way that the articulation is rhythmically precise. The author discusses ensemble development activities designed to promote better intrinsic pulse, hand-eye coordination with the bow, leadership, listening, and left- and right-hand coordination. In addition, the chapter discusses how beautiful phrasing is developed by listening, singing, using imagery, identifying harmonic structure, and incorporating body movement.

AbstractIn this paper, we first provide a survey of some basic properties of the left-and right-hand sided Erdélyi-Kober fractional integrals and derivatives and introduce their compositions in form of the composed Erdélyi-Kober operators. Then we derive a convolutional representation for the composed Erdélyi-Kober fractional integral in terms of its convolution in the Dimovski sense. For this convolution, we also determine the divisors of zero. These both results are then used for construction of an operational method for solving an initial value problem for a fractional differential equation with the left-and right-hand sided Erdélyi-Kober fractional derivatives defined on the positive semi-axis. Its solution is obtained in terms of the four-parameters Wright function of the second kind. The same operational method can be employed for other fractional differential equation with the left-and right-hand sided Erdélyi-Kober fractional derivatives.
