Arithmetic of the sound of silence by Robert Madoi Nasaba

“… The web 2.0 has revolutionised the way in which we communicate with the effect that marginalised groups, including women, can represent themselves – instead of being represented from another’s perspective.

Discriminating between flint outcrops in central north Bulgaria: archaeological implications by Maria Gurova, Polina Andreeva, Elitsa Stefanova

“…One is to try to distinguish between raw materials from two partially overlapping Late Cretaceous formations – Mezdra and Rumyantsevo – containing macroscopically similar flint concretions. Another lies in the drastic shift in raw material preferences (ergo, procurement system) between large-scale newly excavated BA/EIA assemblages and their ‘Chalcolithic predecessors’ and thus raises the question of what the key factors in such a transformation were; the third relates to the opportunity to reliably discriminate between the outcrops and the artefacts/assemblages affiliated to them. …”

Consistency and individuality of honeybee stinging behaviour across time and social contexts by Kavitha Kannan, C. Giovanni Galizia, Morgane Nouvian

“…We also investigated how social factors such as the alarm pheromone or another bee modulated this behaviour. The presence of alarm pheromone increased the likelihood of a bee to sting but this response decayed over trials, while the presence of a conspecific decreased individual stinging likelihood. …”

A morte e a memória no Mosteiro de Lorvão by Luís Miguel Rêpas, Catarina Fernandes Barreira

“…The celebration of death within a Cistercian context was subject to the guidelines stipulated by the General Chapter of the Order, yet it revealed distinctive features varying from one monastery to another. In this article, our objective is to identify some of the individuals who, over several centuries, selected the Convent of Lorvão as their burial place, to know those whose demise was commemorated within its walls, in addition to the community members and those defined by the directives of the Cistercian Order.Subsequently, through an examination of archival documents and, in particular, select liturgical manuscripts that belonged to the Convent of Lorvão, we will delve into the intricacies of the death-related liturgy. …”
