Human script has gone through a long process and many developments, eventually evolving into two main branches, namely, the ideograph and the phonography. However, the reasons for the separation of ideograph and phonography, as well as the features of the two, have been the subject of much disagreement in the academic community. Taking Chinese characters as an example for ideograph, English, Sumerian cuneiform, and Phoenician as examples for phonography, this article makes a detailed study of th...

Quality library service depends partially on librarian capability and the adoption and use of technologies that enhance productivity. The perceived adoption and use (PAU) of electronic records management (ERM) in archiving were investigated in four academic libraries in Djibouti. The effects of capability of Librarians to use ERM (CAP) on knowledge sharing (KS), the effects of CAP on PAU, and the mediation potential of KS on the relationship between CAP and PAU were studied using structural equa...

In the twenty-first century, now China has become
the second largest economic engine of the world. As a neighboring country, all important
Bangladeshi predicaments are now more relevant to this reality than ever
before. Chinese unfolding method of development should have many ramifications
that we need to appreciate fully. Chinese systems of doing things have many
facets that are not practiced in India and Bangladesh. Western mili ...

The rational functions of
primitive art are considered in the article. The reconstruction of the
algorithm for the creation and use of petroglyphs as a marking of solar
calendars and sundials with the help of an ancient astronomical
instrument-gnomon is proposed. Standard
geographic methods and observations of the shadow of objects were used in the
study. To calculate the shadow charts, the basic trigonometric ...

Based on the example of Shigir idols, the article reviews the possibility
of using the ancient sacred objects as tools for orientation in space-time
(according to dating of C-14, the age of the Grand Shigir Idol is 11,000
years). Author’s reconstructions of solar navigation technology are justified
by: paleo-astronomic and metrological calculations; reflection of curve of
shadow of the gnomon during the year in the proportions of ...

In India, cup marks/cupules are the
earliest known form of rock art reported from various Prehistoric rock art
sites. However, their occurrences have been also noticed on the megalithic
tombs at various sites. Occurrence of these cup marks on the megalithic
structures in Nagpur
was brought to lime light as early as in 1879 by Rivet Carnac. Since then...

The external profile of seeds is a good
phenotypic descriptor, indicative of the origin and diffusion of grape vines ( Vitis vinifera L.) over the centuries. Archaeological
seeds conserved in an anaerobic environment after discovery were compared with
modern seeds, belonging to eleven autochthonous cultivars, sampled in Tuscan
vineyards. To study seed profiles we used geometric morphometric analysis
(elliptical Fourier analysis) combined with multivariate statistical methods. When
the valu...
