Burial Grounds

Based on the elaboration of a wide range of sources and literature, several archaeological sites, which represent the under-slab burial grounds of princely age on the territory of Volhynian land and Galician-Volynian borderline are distinguished. The source base has verified, new and little known facts of the results of archaeological research carried out during the end of XIX-XX centuries are introduced to the academic community. The proposed work is based on the principle of cataloging, rather than interpreting highlighted material or determining their genesis etc. Instead of that, an attempt was made to delineate as closely as possible the circumstances of the discovery, the study history and, most importantly, the topography, shape and context of the burial object in all its possible aspects. The problems of the presence under the slab burial grounds on the territory of the Ukrainian Sub-Carpathian region has repeatedly attracted the attention of Ukrainian, Polish and Slovak researchers, and consequently produced different theories as to their origin. However, the main focus of scientists is still concentrated mainly on the sites of the highest accumulation of under the slab burial grounds in the Dnister River Basin. The necropolises, which have been found in the territory of Volhyn (Western Bug, Styr and Horyn basins), either skip the attention or concisely note the presence of only separate under the slab graves within the cemeteries. Fair to say, the main reason for this tendency is the lack of comprehensive information on the subject of research in the scientific literature. It is determined the expending of such works in this area, the embodiment of which is the proposed article. It was investigated that a significant part of under the slab burial grounds was accidentally discovered or did not attract the attention of the scientists during stationary studies, so information on them is extremely limited. Despite this, there is still a noticeable tendency to found luxury objects in under the slab burials. Information about the location of individual burials, their amount, and characteristic are managed to expand. Their topography is represented by the southern part of Volhynian land. Key words: Middle Ages, Rus’, Volhyn, under the slab burials, necropolises, grave, funeral culture.

Legal Understanding

The purpose of the article is to typologize terminological definitions of security, to find out the general, to identify the originality of their interpretations depending on the subject of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is the methods that made it possible to obtain valid conclusions, in particular, the method of comparison, through which it became possible to correlate different interpretations of the term "security"; method of hermeneutics, which allowed to elaborate texts of normative legal acts of Ukraine, method of typologization, which made it possible to create typologization groups of variants of understanding of the term "security". Scientific novelty. The article analyzes the understanding of the term "security" in various regulatory acts in force in Ukraine. Typological groups were understood to understand the term "security". Conclusions. The analysis of the legal material makes it possible to confirm that the issues of security are within the scope of both legislative regulation and various specialized by-laws. However, today there is no single conception on how to interpret security terminology. This is due both to the wide range of social relations that are the subject of legal regulation and to the relativity of the notion of security itself and the lack of coherence of views on its definition in legal acts and in the scientific literature. The multiplicity of definitions is explained by combinations of material and procedural understanding, static - dynamic, and conditioned by the peculiarities of a particular branch of legal regulation, limited ability to use methods of one or another branch, the inter-branch nature of some variations of security, etc. Separation, common and different in the definition of "security" can be used to further standardize, in fact, the regulatory legal understanding of security to more effectively implement the legal regulation of the security direction.

AbstractFounded in 1892 and now containing ca. 11,000 pieces, the Yalta museum draws on pre-Revolutionary private collections, especially of Classical objects obtained locally and abroad, as well as on objects associated with the Mountain and Southern regions of the Crimea, acquired more systematically as a result of archaeological excavations and chance finds in the region. The most important pre-Revolutionary collection, that of Grand Prince Alexander Mikhajlovich, still contains-despite the destruction of WW II-more than 50 amphoras and 500 other ceramic pieces, especially of Archaic Corinthian and Samian ware. The museum houses many finds from pre-War excavations, e.g. from the Balim-Kosh site (ca. 20,000 Neolithic artefacts) and from the Roman legionary fortress at Charax. The creation after WW II of an Archaeological Department of the Museum has led to a 5-fold increase in the size of its collection. This now includes finds from late classical and early medieval burial grounds (Aj-Todor, Alushta, Druzhnoe, Verkhynaya Oreandal, the Gothic necropolis near Goluboj Zaliv, and the Mesolithic complex of Cape of Trinity I. The most important addition has been of more than 5000 objects from the sanctuary excavated in the past decade at the pass of Gurzufskoe Sedlo, which was in use from the Stone Age to the late Middle Ages. Its heyday was 1st cent. B.C.-1st cent. A.D. and from this period date the overwhelming majority of finds of bronze and silver statuettes, glass, metal instruments, ceramics, arms and coins. Such material provides a rare insight into all of the main phases of Crimean history and coins and other objects from the site have formed the subject of a recent exhibition in the museum.

Burial Grounds

Since the nineteenth century the management of burial grounds has been the function of the cemetery superintendent. Responsible as he or she is for maintenance of the site, grave preparation, burial procedures, administration and staffing, the superintendent’s remit has gained complexity in the twentieth century through bureaucratization, legislation and more recently from ‘customer focus’. The shifting preference towards cremation has further widened the scope of the work. Little, however, has been written about the occupation. Focusing on the career of John Robertson, superintendent of the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium between 1913 and 1936, this paper draws from his contributions to The Undertakers’ Journal (TUJ), and in particular a series of articles concerning the design and management of cemeteries that forms the largest collection of literature on the subject published in the twentieth century. The paper also examines his involvement with the National Association of Cemetery Superintendents (NACS), an organization founded to support the occupation’s quest for professional recognition. From a genealogical perspective this article underlines the importance of surveying a wide range of sources when conducting genealogical researching.

В виду бурного развития компьютерных технологий и внедрения информационных средств в повседневную и рабочую жизнь личности мы наблюдаем процесс виртуализации не только культуры, но и социально-культурной активности. В статье рассматривается виртуализация социально-культурной активности в современных условиях. Цель исследования - определить тенденции виртуализации социально-культурной активности. Объект - социально-культурная активность. Предмет - современное состояние виртуализации социально-культурной активности. Задачи исследования: обозначить актуальность рассматриваемой темы; изучить научную литературу по вопросу о негативных тенденция виртуализации социально-культурной активности; определить сущность терминов «виртуализация» и «виртуальная реальность», «виртуализация культуры», «виртуализация социально-культурной активности»; перечислить самые актуальные технологии виртуальной активности; выявить негативные тенденции виртуализации социально-культурной активности. Данный процесс, по мнению автора, является следствием глобальной информатизации, в том числе и социокультурной сферы. По мнению автора, современное состояние виртуализации социально-культурной активности имеет как положительные, так и отрицательные стороны. К положительным автор относит возможность использования безграничного пространства для творчества и самореализации, а также развитие широкого спектра предоставляемых обучающих программ - мастер-классы, марафоны, курсы и прочее; сохранение межличностного общения с помощью современных мессенджеров и приложений и упрощение коммуникации рабочих процессов. В работе приводятся и негативные стороны процесса виртуализации социокультурной активности, такие как гедонистичность, обезличивание и стандартизация личности, чрезмерная свобода действий. В заключение автор отмечает, что значимость негативных тенденций возрастает и процесс виртуализации социально-культурной активности может быть контролируемым, а именно - трансляция качественного цензурного контента, ограничение деструктивных действий, блокировка нарушителей. In view of the rapid development of computer technologies and the introduction of information tools into the everyday and working life of the individual, we see the process of virtualization not only of culture, but also of sociocultural activity. The paper discusses the virtualization of sociocultural activity in modern conditions. The purpose of the study is to identify trends in the virtualization of sociocultural activity. The object is sociocultural activity. The subject is the current state of virtualization of sociocultural activity. Research objectives are: to indicate the relevance of the topic; to study scientific literature on the issue of negative trends in virtualization of sociocultural activity; to determine the essence of the terms "virtualization" and "virtual reality", "culture virtualization", "virtualization of sociocultural activity"; to list the most relevant virtual activity technologies; and to identify negative trends in virtualization of sociocultural activity. This process, according to the author, is a consequence of global informatization, including the sociocultural sphere. According to the author, the current state of virtualization of sociocultural activity has both positive and negative aspects. As positive aspects, the author includes the possibility of using unlimited space for creativity and self-realization, as well as the development of a wide range of training programs provided - master classes, marathons, courses, etc.; maintaining interpersonal communication using modern instant messengers and applications and simplifying communication of work processes. The work also cites the negative aspects of the process of virtualization of sociocultural activity, such as hedonism, depersonalization and standardization of the person, excessive freedom of action. In conclusion, the author notes that the importance of negative trends is increasing and the process of virtualization of sociocultural activity can be controlled, namely, the translation of high-quality censorship content, limiting destructive actions, and blocking violators.

A large number of imported items found in the occupation layers of archaeological sites in the Trans-Urals and Western Siberia suggest that, in the Middle Ages, these regions were on the periphery of trade routes and were involved in global historical events. In this connection, the dating of material culture provides details about trade and economic, as well as social and political, aspects of the life of communities of the past. One of the new archaeological sites allowing the dynamics of material culture to be traced is a multi-layered Papskoye settlement. This site constitutes a fortification having two areas and powerful defensive lines, located on top of the right-bank terrace of the Iset River. In this study, structures attributed to different chronological periods were analysed and artefacts were collected (7th century BC — 14th century AD). Nevertheless, collections of items dating back to the High Middle Ages (late 9th — early 14th centuries) are the most representative as they most objectively reflect the historical and cultural processes that took place in this region. Most of the finds of arrowheads, elements of cloth-ing and horse harnesses, as well as household items, in the Papskoye settlement belong to this time. In this study, we used a comparative-typological method followed by the identification of the types of things. In order to establish the most accurate chronological framework, as well as to determine the primary centres for the production of certain items, we applied the method of analogy using a wide range of material culture from the neighbouring territories, which include Altai, Mongolia, Volga region, Kama area, the Caucasus, the north of Western Siberia, etc. In this study, we identified two chronological phases within the High Middle Ages using the materials of the Papskoye fortified settlement: 1) late 9th — 12th centuries; 2) late 12th — early 14th centuries. They correspond to the period when the carriers of the Yudino and Chiyalik cultures inhabited this site. In addition, a large number of direct analogies with the neighbouring territories suggests that the territory of the forest-steppe Trans-Urals was located on the periphery of trade routes through which imports came from Southern Siberia, Volga Bulgaria and the Upper Kama area.

The subject matter of the article concerns on ritual sacrificial practices related to human sacrifices among the Western Slavs, including the Polish lands and the Polabia region. The chronological range covers the early Middle Ages, from the 7th to the 12th centuries. Considerations on this subject include the review of anthropological and philosophical disciplines research including R. Girard studies in this aspect, an analysis of written sources, and above all the analysis of the occurrence of victims and sacrificial sites from an archaeological perspective. The aim of the study was to identify archaeological remains related to sacrificial rituals by presenting the occurrence of victims and sacrificial sites at selected archaeological sites. The study aims to discuss the issues with interpretations of various aspects of the human sacrifices from the early medival Western Slavdom territory sites. The work is interdisciplinary, as it takes into account and integrates the results of archaeological research, knowledge in the field of history, philosophy and cultural anthropology. The article presents the effectiveness of interdisciplinary methods in expanding analytical and interpretative possibilities of archeology regarding the rituals of sacrifice and sacrificial sites.

Combinatorics can loosely be described as the branch of mathematics concerned with selecting, arranging, constructing, classifying, and counting or listing things. ‘What is combinatorics?’ explains that the subject can be dated back some 3000 years to ancient China and India. For many years, especially throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, it consisted mainly of problems involving the permutations and combinations of certain objects, but over the succeeding centuries the range of combinatorial activity has broadened greatly. Combinatorics now includes a wide range of topics such as the geometry of tilings and polyhedra, the theory of graphs, magic squares and latin squares, block designs and finite projective planes, and partitions of numbers.

The article deals with Nene College's involvement in projects concerned with Gifted Children. This involvement stems from Dr Eric Ogilvie's interest in the subject and it is manifested in four areas: the production of materials for Gifted Children; In-Service work with teachers; a unique Saturday Club; and various enrichment activities. The unit produces packages of independent learning materials. One package, which has been widely sold, deals with ‘The Middle Ages’ and enables the pupil to work on his own. A new package on archaeology is now being produced. The In-Service courses attempt to help teachers deal with Gifted Children in mixed ability classes. Identification, teaching strategies, the development of individual learning material and parent/child relationships are dealt with. The Saturday Club is a unique project which meets fortnightly. There are no entrance qualifications as the activities perform this function. A wide range of subjects and activities have been used. The Unit is also involved in various enrichment activities. A poetry day which resulted in a well-produced anthology was one successful session. Finally, the College has a commitment to Gifted Children and hopes to continue to work effectively.
