Full textAbstract:
The work of French ethnologist and prehistorian André Leroi-Gourhan (1911–86) represents an important episode in twentieth-century intellectual history. This essay follows the development of Leroi-Gourhan's relationship to the discipline of ethnology from his early work on Arctic Circle cultures to his post-war texts on the place of ethnology in the human sciences. It shows how in the pre-war period there is already a conscious attempt to articulate a more comprehensive form of ethnology including the facts of natural environment and material culture. The essay also indicates the biographical importance of Leroi-Gourhan's mission to Japan as a decisive and formative experience of ethnographic fieldwork, combining the learning of a language with extended immersion in a distinctive material and mental culture. Finally, it explores how in the post-war period Leroi-Gourhan's more explicit meta-commentaries on the scope of ethnology argue for an extension of the discipline's more traditional domains of study to include the relatively neglected areas of language, technology and aesthetics.

Full textAbstract:
Updating Romanian Ethnology: traditions, themes, scientific practices Romanian Ethnology (named, at first, either Romanic Philology or Ethnopsychology) became an academic discipline at the end of the ninenteenth century, as part of Philology studies and in tune with European theories regarding comparative researches on folk (peasant) cultures as a means to identify origins, interrelations and evolution of peoples. As part of European Ethnology, Romanian Ethnology has evolved as a science engaged in the project of national construction and practising the discipline has always implied resisting political bias, especially during the communist period. After 1989, Romanian ethnologists have freely explored the limits of their science, criticising tradition and practising interdisciplinary approaches that have induced a fruitful state of internal crisis, out of which a „new Ethnology” has emerged. Although rural tradition and national and multiethnic cultural heritage remain the most important topics of Romanian Ethnology, there are also a series of recent themes (work migration, exploring socialism and postsocialism, urban cultures and many others) that integrate research into international trends. As far as specific practices are concerned, Romanian Ethnology (or its most „fashionable“ equivalent, Sociocultural Anthropology, as I demonstrate there is no substantial difference between ’Ethnology’ and ’Anthropologies’) is grounded in the research field which is explored by using qualitative methods.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper discusses Alfred Russel Wallace’s Amazonian ethnography and his collaboration with Robert Latham on the models of indigenous Amazonian peoples that were placed on display at the Crystal Palace ethnological exhibition in 1854. The reception of scholars and the public to this innovative work is also considered. Wallace’s involvement in the first British ethnological exhibition of large proportions was fundamental to the dissemination of his work, which made a valuable contribution to a field of study—the ethnology of South America—that was still in its infancy in Britain, in marked contrast to Portugal, Spain, Germany and France. Wallace’s field observations of indigenous peoples were instilled in the British imagination through the handbook to the exhibition, in which Latham stressed the importance of Wallace’s descriptions to the advancement of the field of ethnology. Indeed, Wallace’s ethnographic accounts were deemed to provide an authoritative supplement to James Prichard’s preliminary and still somewhat limited ethnological map of northern South America, contributing to the creation of a more complete picture of the indigenous Amazonian peoples of Brazil.

These are brief memoirs dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Department of Ethnography / Ethnology, Faculty of History, Lomonosov Moscow State University. The author’s personal impressions date back to 1968-1974, when a whole galaxy of talented ethnographers worked under the leadership of the outstanding scientist S. A. Tokarev. They trained a large number of specialists who mastered the basics of scientific work, field research methods and continued the work of their wonderful teachers in various parts of the country. This testifies to the continuity of traditions in the field of ethnologica science and its relevance up to the present.

Full textAbstract:
When in the 1880s and 1890s German Lutheran missionaries were sent to Australia from their colleges in Hermannsburg in Lower Saxony and Neuendettelsau in Bavaria to work among the Australian indigenous peoples of the Northern Territory, they had no ethnological education to speak of. This was particularly true for Carl Strehlow who, born in 1871 and educated from 1888 to 1891 at the Lutheran Missionary College in Neuendettelsau, arrived in Adelaide in 1892 and went straight to work with Pastor Reuther among the Diari in Killalpaninna, south of Lake Eyre. From there, in 1894, he was sent to Hermannsburg to resurrect the abandoned Lutheran Mission Station of the Finke River Mission, owned by the South Australian Immanuel Synod. The records of the curriculum in Neuendettelsau show no subjects teaching the theory and practice of ethnology. However, his ethnographic work among the local tribes of the Arrernte and Loritja is today still considered a classic in the field. As a contribution to the history of research methodology in the field of ethnology, I intend to give a brief outline of 1) the early development of scientific research instructions in general, and 2) as a special case, Carl Strehlow’s learning process in form of letters with questions and answers between himself in Hermannsburg and his editors in Frankfurt.

The authors give an overview of the academic career of Professor L.P. Lashuk. He was one of the leading professors of the Department of Ethnography (now Ethnology) of Moscow State University in the 1960-1980-ies. L.P. Lashuk received his degree at the Department in 1950, having obtained high-quality training. This enabled him to work successfully and fruitfully until 1960 in Syktyvkar, at the Komi branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. He obtained national recognition for contributing greatly to the development of ethnography of the peoples of the Komi Republic. Having returned to Moscow to work at the History Faculty of the Moscow State University, the scholar used his rich experience in the field, expanded his research interests, became one of the Russian leading ethnologists, founded his scientific school. The authors believe that the Department of Ethnology played a tremendous role in the formation of LP. Lashuk as a professional, one of the most prominent representatives of national science among "second generation" professors of the Department of Ethnography.

Benovska, Milena. "Culture of (Dis)trust in Bulgaria: Anthropological Perspectives." Yearbook of Balkan and Baltic Studies 4 (December 2021): 367–71. http://dx.doi.org/10.7592/ybbs4.16.
Full textAbstract:
The concept of social trust is located at the intersection of a broad field of meaning, including various theoretical tools in the social sciences: social capital, social networks, political power. It cannot be said that ethnology in Bulgaria has never studied socio-cultural phenomena in this light. Certainly, however, the work of Ana Luleva is the first systematic, competent, consistent and comprehensive study of the issue. In this sense, the book Culture of (dis) trust in Bulgaria: Anthropological Perspectives is not just innovative or makes a contribution. Undoubtedly it is, but more importantly, we have before us a serious and, I would say, a staged theoretical contribution in the field of social trust research. In itself, even just the introductory part of the work represents a serious theoretical effort.

Full textAbstract:
All scholarly fields feed on rhetoric of praise and criticism, mostly self-praise and self-criticism. Ethnology and folklore studies are not exceptions in this, regardless of whether they constitute a single field or two separate but related ones. This essay discusses questions concerning ethnological practice and object formation, cultural theory and the theory of tradition (or the lack thereof), cultural transmission, cultural representation, and the ethics and politics of cultural ownership and repatriation. It draws on general observations as well as on work in progress. The main concern is with a discursive move: from tradition to heritage, from the ethnography of repetition and replication to cultural relativist descriptions and prescriptions of identity construction and cultural policy, from ethnography as explanation to ethnography as representation and presentation. In addition, the essay seeks to delineate other underlying tenets that appear to constitute our traditions and heritages - both as strengths and as long-term constraints and biases. Where is ethnology headed in its quest to transcend theories and practices? Less theory and more practice? More theory on practice? Or more practice on theory?

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on the field sciences during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this paper analyzes how railroads served as tools of knowledge empire in the American West. The political economy of this region, shaped by the rise of Populism and capitalist development with federal and state government support, provided the context for cooperation between field scientists and railroad companies. Early on, the displacement of American Indians and their concentration on reservations was intertwined with the research of the Bureau of Ethnology under John Wesley Powell. Later, railroad companies became important patrons of field research, primarily through their provision of free or reduced-fare passes for travel. This research ranged from state universities undertaking research in horticulture and irrigation engineering to metropolitan natural history museums whose field work in paleontology had cultural or symbolic value.

Full textAbstract:
The article investigates the collaboration, at personal, scientific, and public levels, between the Ethnology and Local History Section of the Kharkiv Research Department of the History of Ukrainian Culture and the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine throughout the 1920s. This period saw the development of Ukrainian science under challenging socio-political circumstances. Insufficient financial support, the restructuring of the education and science system, and later, the repression of scholars created an unstable scientific field. At the same time, the cooperation of scholars within ideological and thematic schools of thought intensified. The research determined that the joint activities of the staff of the Ethnology and Local History Section and the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine were based on common research topics, as well as the work of talented scholars, including M. Sumtsov, R. Dankivska, I. Yerofeyev, P. Kovalivskyi and others in full-time positions simultaneously in both institutions. In addition, the museum was considered one of the Department’s scientific and auxiliary institutions. The study found that personal connections within the Section and the Museum led to the formation of a professional circle of scholars who tackled theoretical and practical problems of ethnology and local history. The joint activities resulted in the development of ethnological research programmes used during search expeditions, as well as in the partial solution of the problem of promulgating the results of scientific work – the publication of scholars’ achievements in the Museum’s editions of and the Department’s collections. The department also trained a younger generation of scholars who engaged in professional activities in the museum industry. Joint efforts of staff of the Department and the Museum were instrumental in carrying out successful cultural and educational work. From 1925 to 1927, a series of lectures on the history and culture of Ukraine was organized. As a result of mutual assistance, the Ethnological and Local History Section of the Kharkiv Research Department of the History of Ukrainian Culture and the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine became centres of ethnological and local history studies in 1920s Kharkivshchyna.

This collective monograph, edited by O. P. Kolomiets and I. I. Krupnik, is dedicated to the memory of the colonial administrator of the Anadyr district Nikolai L. Gondatti as one of the founders of the ethnographic study of Chukotka. The collection of papers is the result of the work of a team of 18 authors and includes texts of different genres: analytical works, including historical and sociolinguistic papers, publications of archival documents by N. L. Gondatti, field essays, memoirs, biographical sketches, essays, letters, and articles about museum collections. In addition to the biography and heritage of Gondatti, the authors focus on traditional ecological knowledge, the local history of the settlements of Chukotka, indigenous languages, and cultural heritage. The authors propose rethinking the concept of applied ethnology and understanding it more broadly. The book is an example of co-authorship with representatives of indigenous communities. The review provides an overview of the chapters of the monograph, the structural features, and genre diversity of the articles in the book. Also in focus is the authors’ understanding of the term “applied ethnology” and, in particular, the expansion of this concept.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper briefly reviews field research to date in the Morava region of Kosovo, mainly centering on folklore studies but including studies in the kindred sciences of ethnology and anthropology. It focuses on research carried out in the Serbian community, as this is at the centre of interest of Serbian folklore studies, ethnology and anthropology. The Kosovo Morava region, however, is a multiethnic area with hybrid cultural practices. Research, therefore, whether in the field or based on material obtained on the ground, implies careful contextualization. The author first refers to work of Jastrebov, and to articles published in the journal Carigradski glasnik (1895-1905), going on to discuss the results of 20th century field research by Ljubica and Danica Jankovic, Miodrag Vasiljevic, Tatomir Vukanovic, Vladimir Cvetanovic, Momcilo Zlatanovic, students from University of Pristina (Vladimir Bovan, ed.), with local enthusiasts Stanislav Kojic and Ratko Stoiljkovic. The Serbian community of the Morava Region of Kosovo was the focus of a ethnolinguistic project Studies of Slavic Speeches in Kosovo and Metohija, by the Institute for Serbian Language of SASA, and supported by UNESCO (2002- 2003). The project collected a significant body of folklore material, but the relevant papers addressed this mainly from the linguistic perspective. Sanja Zlatanovic, author of the present paper, carried out extensive ethnographic research into the Serbian community of the Kosovo Morava region, obtaining narratives with the marks of folklore. Those about events linked to the war and its aftermath are of particular interest, situated as they are at the point where the fields of anthropology and folklore cross.

In this conversational essay, three scholars working in the field of human—animal studies discuss the multi—species work that is underway in ethnology. Examples of different methodological approaches are highlighted; multispecies ethnography, crystallization, feminist dog-writing and écriture feminine. By reflecting on the value of such techniques, the authors contend that a renewed enthusiasm for methodological innovation can pave the way for more rounded accounts of social life, bringing animals and their agencies into clearer focus as companions, workers and beings in their own right. This is regarded as both an intellectual and ethical pursuit, with methods placed at the heart of the endeavour.

Abstract Fungi have been associated with contamination and spoilage of food. These organisms are known to thrive in different weather and environmental conditions. Maize kernel obtained from field, store and market from 25 Local Government Areas of Niger State within the month of August to September were analyzed for fungi occurrence using standard methods. Ten different fungus; Aspergillus niger, A. ochraceus, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. parasiticus, Mucor spp, Fusarium spp, Penicillium spp, Yeast and Rhizopus spp, were identified and isolated from the maize kernel. From the agro-ecological zones of the state, the most predominant fungi were Aspergillus species (241/345), Rhizopus spp (41/345) and Mucor spp (37/345) while Penicilium spp and yeast were the least identified. Within the zones, Aspergillus species have the highest occurrence; wet (65/95), driest (63/95), wettest (56/95) and dry zone (54/95) zones. The highest occurrence of fungi was found in the market sample (129) followed by store (112) and field (104). High percentage occurrence of 11.6% was recorded in Suleja, Wushishi, and Borgu Local Government Area, followed by 10.6, 10.1, 8.7, 9.7, 9.2, 8.7 and 8.2% in Bosso, Tafa, Madalla, Minna, Paiko, Bida and Sabon wuse respectively. Mold species known to be mycotoxin producers were reported in this work. This poses as a risk factor to food safety.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences 24, no. 5 (February 23, 2023): 4387. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijms24054387.
Full textAbstract:
The geomagnetic field (GMF) can affect a wide range of animal behaviors in various habitats, primarily providing orientation cues for homing or migratory events. Foraging patterns, such as those implemented by Lasius niger, are excellent models to delve into the effects of GMF on orientation abilities. In this work, we assessed the role of GMF by comparing the L. niger foraging and orientation performance, brain biogenic amine (BA) contents, and the expression of genes related to the magnetosensory complex and reactive oxygen species (ROS) of workers exposed to near-null magnetic fields (NNMF, ~40 nT) and GMF (~42 µT). NNMF affected workers’ orientation by increasing the time needed to find the food source and return to the nest. Moreover, under NNMF conditions, a general drop in BAs, but not melatonin, suggested that the lower foraging performance might be correlated to a decrease in locomotory and chemical perception abilities, potentially driven by dopaminergic and serotoninergic regulations, respectively. The variation in the regulation of genes related to the magnetosensory complex in NNMF shed light on the mechanism of ant GMF perception. Overall, our work provides evidence that the GMF, along with chemical and visual cues, is necessary for the L. niger orientation process.

Full textAbstract:
In the exploration and production business, by far the largest component of geophysical spending is driven by the need to characterize (potential) reservoirs. The simple reason is that better reservoir characterization means higher success rates and fewer wells for reservoir exploitation. In this research work, seismic and well log data were integrated in characterizing the reservoirs on “ALA” field in Niger Delta. Three-dimensional seismic data was used to identify the faults and map the horizons. Petrophysical parameters and time-depth structure maps were obtained. Seismic attributes was also employed in characterizing the reservoirs. Seven hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs with thickness ranging from 9.9 to 71.6 m were delineated. Structural maps of horizons in six wells containing hydrocarbon-bearing zones with tops and bottoms at range of −2,453 to −3,950 m were generated; this portrayed the trapping mechanism to be mainly fault-assisted anticlinal closures. The identified prospective zones have good porosity, permeability, and hydrocarbon saturation. The environments of deposition were identified from log shapes which indicate a transitional-to-deltaic depositional environment. In this research work, new prospects have been recommended for drilling and further research work. Geochemical and biostratigraphic studies should be done to better characterize the reservoirs and reliably interpret the depositional environments.

This research presents the results of the subsurface structural and stratigraphical evaluation of the Sapele Shallow field of the Niger Delta. 3D seismic cube and well log data were used in carrying out this research work. Analysis of the three horizons' structural maps showed the subsurface's structural geometry and the presence of a possible trapping mechanism, which controls the accumulation of hydrocarbons in the studied area. Interpretations of faults that described the structural setting of the field showed three major faults trends from East to West whiles dipping southward with other minor faults. The stratigraphy of the study area thickens from north to south (basinward). Also, the rootmean-square (RMS) amplitude maps analysis of the various horizons reveals that all horizons mapped in the studied area have bright spots (Sweet Spot) except horizon 7.

The article represents a brief presentation of the evolution of religious studies in Romania during the 19–20 centuries. The studies on the religious phenomenon written in Romania in the 19th century were closely related to the national problem. One of the fundamental questions that arose at the time was whether Christianity is an integral part of national identity. At the end of the 19th century Christianity was seen as a popular tradition, part of what was beginning to be known as folklore. As folklore represented the Romanian identity, it had to be preserved at all costs, therefore also the Christian elements found in popular traditions. Tudor Pamfile is the scholar who shows that folklore is not just a sum of superstitions that must be preserved because it represents tradition. He says that folklore represents a complex universe of meanings, a coherent world, which modern people no longer understand. After the First World War, Christianity is reconsidered. The rationalism of the 19th century is rejected, and "spiritualism" is adopted. Ernest Bernea, Ovidiu Papadima and other scholars wanted to show that the Romanian popular tradition, the basis of national identity, is permeated with the most authentic Christian vision. The Romanian popular tradition was no longer a matter of "superstition", but of the most authentic truth of life. Such an idea is spreading that the authentic man is a religious man. It is the basis of the conception of Mircea Eliade, who will become one of the most important researchers in the field of the history of religions in the world. He overcomes the issue of Romanian identity and its relationship with Christianity. He will be concerned in his works to show the universality of religious feeling, studying religious manifestations at a global level, from prehistory to the present. After 1945, the communist period was established in Romania. Religious history studies have been replaced by atheistic propaganda. However, scholars from the interwar period sought to study the religious phenomenon in Romania and the rest of the world. Also, many young people learned about Mircea Eliade and his work, carried out in France and the United States. One of them was Ioan Petru Culianu who managed to escape from Romania and become one of the great scholars in the field of history of religions. After the fall of the communist regime, religious history studies in Romania experienced a remarkable development.

Abstract In 1998, the source materials of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas - collected over many decades with the participation of the Institute of History of Material Culture (a unit of the Polish Academy of Sciences) and several leading ethnological centres - were moved to the Cieszyn Branch of the University of Silesia (currently the Faculty of Ethnology and Education). It was then that Z. Kłodnicki, the editor of the PEA, came up with the idea to continue and finish the atlas studies. However, the work on fulfilling the PEA, the biggest project in the history of Polish ethnology, is still going on. Nowadays, the materials of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas constitute a precious, unique in the national scale, documentary base. For several years, a lively cooperation has taken place between the PEA staff (representing the Faculty of Ethnology and Education of the University of Silesia) and various cultural institutions, government and non-government organizations. The discussed projects are usually aimed at the preservation and protection of the cultural heritage of the Polish village as well as the broadly related promotion actions for activating local communities. The workers of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas since 2014 have been also implementing the Ministry grant entitled The Polish Ethnographic Atlas - scientific elaboration, electronic database, publication of the sources in the Internet, stage I (scientific supervision: Ph.D. Agnieszka Pieńczak). What is an integral assumption of the discussed project is the scientific elaboration of three electronic catalogues, presenting the PEA resources: 1) field photographs (1955-1971) 2) the questionnaires concerning folk collecting (1948-1952), 3. the published maps (1958-2013). These materials have been selected due to their documentary value. The undertaking has brought about some measurable effects, mostly the special digital platform www.archiwumpae.us.edu.pl. This material database of ethnographic data might become the basis for designing various non-material activities aimed at preserving the cultural heritage of the Polish village.

In the context of the development of ethnological science in the first quarter of the 20th century, the article exa-mines the current and still relevant methods of ethnographic research on the example of the scientific work and creativity of the Ukrainian artist-ethnographer Yu. Pavlovych. His legacy includes tens of thousands of sketches of the monuments of the ethnic culture of the Ukrainian and other peoples, and includes original scientific publications. The research interests of the ethnographer were formed as a result of his acquaintance with the works of the leading Ukrainian scientists P. Chubynsky, F. Volkov and V. Antonovych. Since the time of Yu. Pavlovich’s work in the Cabinet of Anthropology and Ethnology of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine named after F. Volkov, his ethnological activity acquired consistency and was regulated by the ethnographic scientific projects of this institution. According to these programs, the scientist participated in monographic studies of settlements, successfully mapped the phenomena of material culture and carried out field ethnographic research.

Full textAbstract:
Disparate Ontologies? Takes a critical look at Philippe Descola’s four-field anthropological model for ontologies among hunter-gatherer societies. Descola’s model juxtaposes animism, totemism, analogism, and naturalism as reflecting different expressions of interiority and physicality and queries those four ontological concepts as comparative units of analysis. While Descola’s Beyond Nature and Culture (2013) was a ground-breaking exploration of ontological ethnology and anthropological theory, the present work questions whether animism and totemism should be considered as comparable units in cross-cultural anthropological studies. Disparate Ontologies? focuses on the interpretive suitability of the concepts of animism and totemism as comparable variables in comparative analysis by investigating a sample of traditional indigenous societies from the northernmost Northern Hemisphere. The work focuses on ethnographic examples of animism and totemism, as well as cyclical rebirth eschatology and forms of perspectivism in an attempt to provide insights into the similarities and differences of ontological reckonings among diverse peoples across the North.

"Paul Valéry said about fables as follows: “Little by little those who loved or liked it, those who were able to understand it disappear. Those who demanded it, those who broke it, those who bantered it died too ... Soon, an instrument of pleasure and emotion will become a school accessory; what used to constitute the truth, what used to constitute the beauty turns into a means of constraint or into an object that arouses curiosity, but a curiosity which forces itself to be curious.""

Stages of Evolution in Romanian Literature), Minerva Publishing House, Bucharest, 1983, p. 5) In a recent conference, held in Suceava[1], I expressed some regrets in relation to the absence of scientific concerns in the vast and important field of legal ethnography and ethnology in Romania, as follows: ""Legal ethnography and ethnology are not obviously, in particular, delimited in Simeon Florea Marian's grandiose work. General science was in the course of being established; it was not the time for particularistic developments. It was late when by means of another pioneering work, that of the Romanian scholar and anthropologist Romulus Vulcănescu, some issues of concern for our jurists, for law sociologists and anthropologists started to be reflected in the Romanian legal culture. Very few. Even the great ethnologist Petru Ursache acknowledged that the domain was deficient, in his very impressive creation of ethnosophy"". ⁂ As for the fable, apparently a minor literary genre, so much lamented, as we have seen above, by Paul Valéry, as an object of historical contemplation only, the intersection of the legal culture with the sapiential, moral and literary spirit of the people increases considerably; so much that it becomes a valuable scientific landmark in the emergent legal ethnology twinned with legal sociology, with legal anthropology and with legal folklore[2]. In the most serious way, even if, isn’t it true, with hilarious and caricaturizing weapons, with a playful and clever spirit, the fable decrypts a people's propensity for truth and justice or, conversely, for gregarious fatalism in relation to the vices that corrupt the nation psychologically and morally. Its role is didactic. The young jurists would become scientifically and culturally ennobled if they took over the case law, the ""cases"", from the fables ... Or if, their masters guided them towards associating the case law with the comic and fabulising spirit of the wise judge ...

The study assessed security challenges in relation to survival of democracy in Nigeria with focus on Niger East Senatorial District. The methodology adopted for the study is descriptive research. The population of the study was drawn from nine local government areas that constituted the district with a population of 1,513,469 (NPC, 2006). Sample size of 380 was used and the sampling technique was simple random sampling technique. Questionnaire was used as the research instrument which was well structured in two parts. Part (A) is the biodata of the respondent and part (B) was on the subject matter of the research using four likert scale of grading. Method of data collection was basically primary and secondary sources. Theoretical framework of the research is fragile state models. Method of data analysis, the data collected from the field was subjected to tabulation, frequency and percentage. Chi-Square was applied in testing hypotheses. The findings revealed that serious security challenges existed, threatening the survival of democracy in Nigeria. The study has proven that there existed in the Niger East senatorial district Boko Haram, kidnapping, and Fulani Cattle Rustlers among others. It was recommended that government make plans for enough personnel to ensure the safety of the populace and for the need to address our diversity, our mistrust, work together and unite in purpose.

Full textAbstract:
The subsurface structures in KOCR Field, in the Coastal Swamp Niger Delta, Nigeria, are here presented, using seismic 3D timelapse. The KOCR Field lies on latitudes 4o50’58’’-4o55’19’’N and longitudes 6o18’41’’- 6o26’41’’E with aerial extent of 840km2. The base (1997) and the monitor (2009) seismic surveys resulted in a 4D response difference. The Base and Monitor data have a root-mean-square repeatability ratio (RRR) of 0.38 implying a very good repeatability when considering the acquisition, processing and environmental noises. Data processing and interpretation were carried out using Petrel software. The average thickness of the reservoir is about 69m at the depth of 3932m. Reservoir pressure decline rate of 0.062psi/day resulted in production decline rate of 1192.21bbl/day. Structural interpretation of seismic data reveals a highly-faulted field. Fault and horizon interpretation shows closures that are collapsed crestal structures. All the interpreted faults are normal synthetic and antithetic faults which are common in the Niger Delta basin. The lengths, dips and orientations of the faults and horizons, in the base and monitor stacks, are equal indicative of no faults reactivation that could have resulted from hydrocarbon production. The results of this work can be used in reservoir, field and environmental management in the area of study.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractGeophysical well logs were used to delineate the stratigraphic units and system tracks in the XYZ Field of the Niger Delta. The gross percentages for sand levels range from 93-96% in the shallow levels to 60-66% in the deeper levels. Porosity values ranged between 27% at shallower sections and 9% at deeper depths. Six depositional sequences were identified and categorized into their associated system tracts. Porosity decreases with depth in normal compacted formation for both sandstone and shale units. Surface porosity for sandstone is 42%, and for shale it is 38.7% from extrapolation of sub-surface porosity values to the surface. The depth to the base of Benin Formation is highly variable ranging between 1300 and 2600m. This study reveals the possibility to correlate sand levels over long distances which enables inferring porosity values laterally. The knowledge of the existent stratigraphic units, the Benin, Agbada and Akata Formations and their petrophysical parameters such as porosity, lateral continuity of the sands and shales, the variation of the net-to-gross of sands with depth, enables the reservoir engineer to develop a plan for the number and location of the wells to be drilled into the reservoir, the rates of production that can be sustained for optimum recovery. The reservoir engineer can also estimate the productivity and ultimate recovery (reserves) using the results on this work.

Full textAbstract:
Given the high value of Juglans nuts, the increase in their production should not only be due to the identification and breeding of the best forms, but also by shifting the established border of cultivation to the North. In this regard, the main purpose of the work is to study and analyze the adaptive characteristics of plants in winter. The paper considers garden, park and field protection plantations, plantations, landscape groups and stand-alone trees of Juglans family nuts on adaptive signs of frost resistance and frost stability, as well as the most stable forms, which should form the basis of the breeding fund. Comparison of resistance of the genus Juglans to the various factors of ethnology gives the following results: decreasing resistance to low negative temperatures, plants can be placed as J. cenerea, J. manshurica, J. nigra, J. cordiformis, J. regia.

Full textAbstract:
Corrosion of pipelines and other industrial facilities has led to several hazards and catastrophic events in the petroleum industry. The corrosion of pipelines can occur in different ways, as materials tend to go back to original state. This work focused on the erosion corrosion of pipelines due to sand production. Several analysis following best practices introduced in this work where carried out on field inspection data on pipelines and flowlines in which a trend was identified. This trend generated models such as erosion trend angle (ETA) and erosion trend factor (ETF) which will be used for reviews, judgment and sensitivity analysis during corrosion management. The criterion for criticality of ETA was 30 degrees for the purpose of this work and recommended that users could vary to fit work objectives. Five test points where used to establish ETA and ETF values for major decision of criticality for erosion corrosion as shown in Table 2. To enhance the use of these models and known corrosion tools, a software application known as HAZUTREND was developed using python programming and machine learning algorithms for linear regression. An erosion corrosion management procedure was also introduced as a result of analysis made, to optimize decision making.

Full textAbstract:
Petrophysical evaluation of selected wells in FUBA field reservoir in Niger Delta, Nigeria are here presented. A suite of well logs comprising gamma ray, deep resistivity, density, sonic and neutron were used in the analysis. Petrophysical properties evaluated are; thickness, porosity, permeability, water saturation and hydrocarbon saturation. Two distinct horizons were mapped. The lithostratigraphy correlation section revealed that each of the sand units spread over the field differ in thickness with some units occurring at greater depth than their adjacent unit, that is possibly an evidence of faulting. From the result of Petrophysical evaluation, on average, net thickness, effective porosity, permeability, water saturation, hydrocarbon saturation and shale volume values are 13.50 ft, 23.50%, 463.70 mD, 30.50%, 69.50% and 12.50% for reservoir sand Q and 45.00 ft, 22.20%, 495.24 mD, 32% and 68% and 16.50% for reservoir sand R. The porosity and permeability values have been classed as good to excellent for reservoir sand Q and R respectively. The hydrocarbon saturation and water saturation values are good for reservoir development for production. The results of the sand-shale lithology calculated indicate the following (i) the fraction of shale in the reservoirs is quite low; (ii) sandstone volume decreased with increasing depth while shale volume increased with depth; (iii) an inverse relationship between permeability and shale volume and a direct relationship between permeability and the volume of sand in the reservoirs. This is typical of clastic reservoir systems in the Niger Delta. An analysis of the petrophysical attributes maps indicates how the petrophysical qualities vary across the reservoirs. The results for this work revealed the presence of hydrocarbon in both reservoirs across the wells in the study area.

It demonstrates communities of practice that persist today with sociabilities and aesthetics dedicated to circulating memories and knowledge among generations. With an approach based on active listening and meticulous observation, thoroughly described in her publications, field notebooks, drawings, and photographs, Herta produced an invaluable record for understanding the future of the past of descendant communities—Indigenous, Afro-descendant, AfroIndigenous, and others with traditional knowledge—and for the recognition of the “work” of their ancestral women. This collection is presented here as a memory database of practices, both for academic research and for communities interested in recovering knowledge that their ancestors bequeathed in some way.

This trend generated models such as erosion trend angle (ETA) and erosion trend factor (ETF) which will be used for reviews, judgment and sensitivity analysis during corrosion management. The criterion for criticality of ETA was 30 degrees for the purpose of this work and recommended that users could vary to fit work objectives. Five test points where used to establish ETA and ETF values for major decision of criticality for erosion corrosion as shown in Table 2. To enhance the use of these models and known corrosion tools, a software application known as HAZUTREND was developed using python programming and machine learning algorithms for linear regression. An erosion corrosion management procedure was also introduced as a result of analysis made, to optimize decision making.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: This work is an assessment of the relationship between media and security agencies in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria. The objectives were to assess reasons for frequent clashes between media and security agencies against press freedom while also suggesting measures of reducing face-offs. Research methodology: The research was a thorough opinion survey of 19,215,351 persons through a sample size of 400 persons in four states of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The states taken were Akwa Ibom, Delta, Cross River, and Rivers states. 400 questionnaires were distributed to residents for answers on the variables of the research. The social responsibility and media authoritarian theories were adopted in a theoretical framework. Results: The collated data from 375 persons representing 94 % against 25 persons or 6%, shows that the clash between media and the security agencies was very regular as security agencies noticeably enforce fear and intimidation at events. Limitations: The study was limited to only four states of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Cross River, and Rivers states out of nine states that make up the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Contribution: The media and the security agencies should maintain practitioners’ regular training to keep abreast of democratic human rights and ethics in the discharge of duties. The present study will also theoretically contribute to the academic and theoretical richness as well as promote the culture and literature of social responsibility in the field of communication, governance, social civic service, and especially in the field of media literacy. It has effective significance and requisites.

Краткий обзор истории семинара включает в себя общую оценку его деятельности за двадцать лет его существования. Семинар появился в Институте этнологии и антропологии РАН как платформа для обсуждения научных идей, концепций, результатов исследований православных ученых и православия, как такового (Церкви, веры, мировоззрения, культурообразующего явления и проч.). Междисциплинарный характер его позволил привлечь сюда ученых из разных областей гуманитарного знания: этнографов, педагогов, историков, филологов, искусствоведов, архитекторов; исследователей из светской области мысли и церковной. Ныне семинар начинает решать новые задачи - более проблемного и теоретического характера. A brief overview of the history of the seminar includes an overall assessment of its activities. The seminar appeared at the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences as a platform for discussing scientific ideas, concepts, research results of Orthodox scholars and Orthodoxy as such (Church, faith, worldview, culture-forming phenomenon, etc.). Its interdisciplinary nature made it possible to attract scientists from different fields of humanitarian knowledge: ethnographers, educators, historians, philologists, art historians, architects; researchers from the secular field of thought and the church. Now the seminar is solving new problems of a more theoretical nature.

Full textAbstract:
The present collection examines the ways Indigenous peoples across the Eurasian North—Sámi, Nenets, Khanty, and Tyva—deal with the past and how their conceptualizations of the past are entangled with dominant ideologies in Russia and Finland, human-environment relations, and the colonial experiences they went through. The authors operate with the notion of historicity, which is understood in François Hartog’s terms as a 'temporal experience'. In the present collection, we expand this notion towards a relational nature of 'temporal experiences' where 'their' and 'our' historicities are not necessarily 'the same' or culturally determined but have been situated in long-term peaceful and conflictual encounters. Through those encounters, the diversity of meanings of the past has been shaped and developed within and between local communities and communities of scholars. The collection comprises the work of scholars from Folklore studies, Ethnology, Cultural studies, and History, who analyse Indigenous historicities through deep archival and field research.
Keywords: historicities, ethnohistory, Indigenous peoples, Eurasian North

Full textAbstract:
In contemporary East Slavic ethnology (ethnography, folklore, ethnolinguistics), the study of the folk calendar still occupies an important place. This article, based on field, archival and published ethnographic materials, analyses the phenomenon of harmful magic in the period of Ivan Kupala in the traditional culture of the countryfolk of the Vitebsk-Pskov borderlands. The functional pragmatics of witchcraft and its features are revealed, the techniques of apotropaic magic are analysed. The material for the work was a set of descriptions of the rite and folklore texts recorded on the territory of the borderlands in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The analysis of folklore and field materials allows us to characterise the functional pragmatics of harmful magic, its gender specificity, as well as take into account the peculiarities of witchcraft in the conditions of modern developed communication. The purpose of the study is to identify the specifics of magical practices dedicated to the day of Ivan Kupala, in the area of the Belarusian-Russian (Vitebsk-Pskov) ethno-cultural border. The transboundary status of the region (borders on Russia, Lithuania and Latvia), makes the study of Kupala rituals seem to be even more relevant.

3D Lithology and reservoir fluid studies based on conventional interpretation approach, such as low Vp/Vs values indicating gas presence have been used to discriminate hydrocarbon fluids. This work was provoked by the emerging trends of noticeable uncertainties leading to drilling of dry wells in the study area. Confirming the physical indicators of hydrocarbon in the reservoirs through the employed method is worthwhile. Well log data of M oil field was investigated with the aim of identifying reservoir rocks through qualitative and quantitative interpretations of subsurface well log data of M oil field through rock properties cros-splots analysis in the select reservoir in the field (M-5000) and to derive elastic rock attributes such as Lame’s parameter terms (λρ and μρ), Vp/Vs, P-Impedance and S-Impedance from available petrophysical data. Rock attributes derived from well logs were combined to produce three major forms of crossplots, which described and characterized the reservoir in terms of fluid and lithology present. The combinations were: VP/VS versus IP, μρ against λρ and IP versus IS. These rock parameters were analyzed in cross-plots space and used to determine which of them constitutes better indicators of pore fluids and lithology. The M- oil field cross-plot analysis indicate the lowest values of VP/VS (2.05-2.40); IP (5600-6300 (m/s*(g/cc)), λρ (16-20 (GPa*g/cc)), and μρ (4-9.5 (GPa*g/cc)). However, the low values of VP/VS, IP, λρ, and μρ, perhaps IS corresponds to hydrocarbon (Gas) saturation within the M- oil field.

Full textAbstract:
This work has assessed the comparative performance of four salts (NaCl, K2SO4, CaCl2, and MgSO4) in the optimized salinity water flooding mode. This was done by carrying out core flooding tests using crude oil, brines and cores sourced from a Niger Delta field. Inter-facial Tension tests were also performed on each crude brine system to understand the specific role of fluid-fluid interaction. The results obtained from the study are quite interesting as additional recovery ranging from 5–26% were obtained in the secondary and tertiary mode.

Deterministic and probabilistic re-evaluation was used in handling predetermined six uncertainties in five wells in Isand reservoir. Results of low case (LC) modeled string showed that the I-sand reservoir is severely deformed by faults and this was confirmed with a predicted high case (HC) modeled string. When structure was sensitized at a bulk volume of 10,964STB with porosity of 0.266, water saturation of 0.43 and net to gross ratio (NTG) of 0.75 and initial oil formation volume factor (Boi) of 2.2bbl/stb, the resultant estimated stock tank initial oil in place (STOIIP) gave 5,892,752.65STB or the base case. The corresponding STOIIP for the low and high case are 5,198,470.887STB and 6,451,196.678STB. Results of deterministic analysis shows that the low case results gave a minimum value of 5.20MMSTB for structures and maximum value of 6.2MMSTB for water saturation. High case results revealed a maximum of 6.45MMSTB for structures and a minimum value of 5.69MMSTB for water saturation. Results of high, low and base cases were used to quantify some of the uncertainties in the volumetric estimation and subsequently in the probabilistic method. This work clearly shows the viability of the pragmatic approach used to quantify the uncertainty ranges in reservoir parameters and their impact on the statics volumes as well as recovery. Keywords: deterministic, probabilistic, modeled, structures, water saturation, net to gross ratio

Full textAbstract:
The subsurface structures in Onshore Fuba Field Niger Delta, Nigeria, are here presented, using 3D seismic time-lapse data. The FUBA Field lies on latitudes 40 50’58’’-4 0 55’19’’N and longitudes 60 18’41’’60 26’41’’E with aerial extent of 840km2 . The base (1997) and the monitor (2009) seismic surveys resulted in a 4D response difference. The Base and Monitor data have a root-mean-square repeatability ratio (RRR) of 0.38 implying a very good repeatability when considering the acquisition, processing and environmental noises. Data processing and interpretation were carried out using Petrel software. Reservoir pressure decline rate of 0.062psi/day resulted in production decline rate of 1192.21bbl/day. Structural interpretation of seismic data reveals a highly faulted field. Two distinct horizons were mapped. Fault and horizon interpretation shows closures that are collapsed crestal structures bounded by two major faults. All the interpreted faults are normal synthetic and antithetic faults which are common in the Niger Delta basin. The depth structure maps reveal anticlinal faults. Reservoirs are found at a shallower depth from 6500 to 7500 ft and at a deeper depth ranging from 11500 to 13000 ft. The depth residual maps reveal higher residuals associated with the eastern and western regions which are areas not penetrated by any well. The lengths, dips and orientations of the faults and horizons, in the base and monitor stacks are not equal indicative of faults reactivation that could have resulted from hydrocarbon production. The results of this work can be used in reservoir, field and environmental management in the area of study.

Full textAbstract:
"Religions" constitute a field of study and accordingly "the study of religion (or religions)" is a discipline. What is a discipline, that is, in the scientific sense? It is no more, and no less, than a methodically ordered approach to the study of a field. The field "religion(s)", no less than any other fields, requires a methodically ordered approach for its study. The methodically ordered approach, the discipline, takes on particular characteristics as required for the best study of the field. Consequently, the discipline of the study of religion(s) is not necessarily quite the same as the discipline required for the study of other fields, though it may be rather similar to the discipline required for the study of closely related fields. The disciplined study of religion cannot be split down the middle, for example between history and ethnology, just because some people prefer to work with a certain kind of source material or prefer a certain kind of professional badge. It is an unduly easy alibi to say that the study of religion is "interdisciplinary", even if this is helpful in a preliminary way. All too often an emphasis on "interdisciplinarity" seems to suggest an openness to a variety of methods while it in fact allows the challenge of methodological reflection to be avoided. By contrast, as has been seen above, the discipline of the study of religions both requires and can find its own specific methodological integration.

Purpose. Analysis of the scientific achievements of scientists-geographers who have left a significant mark in the development of domestic and world scientific thought, due to the need to determine its historical formation and identify future vectors of development. That is why the purpose of our article is to present the results of the study of the scientific heritage of Professor Alexander Zupan, as an outstanding scientist in the field of geography. Methods. The study was conducted on the basis of an analysis of available literature sources on this topic, as well as the works of scientists in the field of geography and partly in the field of history. In particular, the article used such methods of geographical research as analysis, historical and literary. Results. The article highlights the life of Alexander Zupan - a famous geographer of the Austrian period, who worked not only in Austria, Germany, Slovenia but also in Ukraine, namely in Chernivtsi. During his life, Alexander Zupan went from teacher to professor, making a significant contribution to the development of physical, social and political geography, climatology, as well as the development of school geographical education. In total, his scientific achievements include more than 30 works. Much of the work has been republished several times. The scientific works "Fundamentals of Physical Geography", "Textbook of Geography on the Principles of Modern Science for Austrian Secondary Schools", "Wind Statistics in the Lower Troposphere" and others deserve special attention. For his scientific contribution he was awarded the scientific prize of the German Academy of Naturalists "Leopoldin" "Medal of Kotenius". The main scientific ideas of the scientist date back to the period of work as the editor of the famous geographical journal "Petermanns Mitteilungen". But it is also worth noting that it was Zupan who introduced branch geographical courses in physical geography, orography, geographical morphology, climatology, oceanology, ethnology, regional courses in European geography, and others at Chernivtsi University. Scientific novelty. For the first time in Ukraine, we conducted a detailed analysis of the scientific heritage and life of Professor Oleksandr Zupan, because his figure is little studied in Ukrainian geographical science. The рractical significance. Analysis of the scientific achievements of geographers allows to deepen knowledge of the theory of Ukrainian geography and assess their contribution to the development of important areas of geographical science. Knowledge of Alexander Zupan's scientific work is important from the point of view of using his main ideas in modern theoretical and scientific-practical research.
