Against the background of accelerating global informatization, the media industry is undergoing profound changes. With the popularity of the Internet and social media, a considerable amount of information flocks to the public’s field of vision, which puts forward higher requirements for the timeliness, personalization, and creativity of media content. However, the traditional manpower-intensive content creation methods have made it challenging to meet the fast-paced needs of modern society. The fast-paced life of modern times has prompted people to pursue rapid access to and digestion of information. Traditional human-intensive content creation, such as writing, editing, and reviewing, can no longer keep up with this immediate demand. At the same time, audience segmentation requires media content to be accurately positioned, provide personalized services, and respond quickly to market changes. In today’s information explosion, maintaining high-quality content has become the core competitiveness of media, but it is difficult to balance timeliness and accuracy and depth of content in a manpower-intensive way. Therefore, in order to solve the existing problems, this study develops an intelligent content creation auxiliary system through natural language processing and reinforcement learning technology. Firstly, an NLP module is established to parse and generate high-quality text that conforms to grammatical rules and logical structure. Subsequently, the reinforcement learning mechanism is introduced to enable the system to have self-learning ability, and the strategy is constantly adjusted in multiple attempts to maximize the relevance and attractiveness indicators of the content. The system is applied to the natural environment of a prominent news website. Experiments show that within 3 months after the implementation of the system, compared with traditional hand-made manuscripts, the average click-through rate of the content created or recommended by it has increased by about 30%, and the user retention time has been extended by nearly 25%.

The aim of this study was to experimentally assess the effect of increased rolling resistance, generated by the Anti-Rollback System, on the muscular load of a manual wheelchair user during downhill movement. Three descent conditions were compared: without the module (NAR), with a flexible roller (EAR), and with a rigid roller (SAR). The experiment was conducted on a 6.3 m ramp inclined at 5°, involving eight adult male participants. Muscle effort was evaluated using three indicators: normalized cumulative muscle load per second (CML/s), normalized muscle activity (EMGnorm), and the peak-to-mean ratio of the EMG signal (PMR). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between configurations (p < 0.05). Use of the module significantly reduced muscular load compared with the reference condition: CML/s decreased by 29.41% in both EAR and SAR, while EMGnorm was reduced by 44.44% in EAR and 50.00% in SAR. PMR reached its lowest value in EAR (4.78), suggesting smoother muscle activation and lower local peak tension. The results indicate that the resistive torque generated by the frictional coupling between the wheelchair tire and the anti-rollback roller, although disadvantageous during propulsion, contributes to improved control and stability during downhill descent, highlighting the system’s dual functional potential.

The article presents ceramic materials from the excavations on the Pashenkovo Russian medieval settlement of the Golden Horde period, located in the Middle Don. The site is located on the territory of the village of Pashenkovo in the Khokholskiy district of the Voronezh region. The main purpose of the study is to determine the chronology of Russian pottery from the Pashenkovo settlement based on the technical and morphological features of the ceramics and a comparative analysis with materials from other sites, located on the territory of the Middle and Upper Don. All analyzed ceramic material from the Pashenkovo settlement comes from the filling of the pit and the layers above it, which represent a single complex. Individual finds from the territory of the site made it possible to tentatively date it within the XIV century. The analyzed pottery consisted of more than one thousand fragments, which included fragmented upper profile parts, walls and bottoms of pots. As a result of the work carried out on the archaeological site, a pre-Mongol ceramic tradition was identified, which has complete parallels in the Upper Don and Ob regions. The greatest similarity in technical and morphological characteristics, and sometimes complete identity, is found with the pottery from the Semiluki settlement, located 45 km upstream of the Don river on its right bank. Based on the obtained data, the authors propose to date the pottery assemblage of the Pashenkovo settlement within the second half of XIII-first half of XIV century.
External vibration, shock, unbalanced torque and other uncertain disturbances are mainly transmitted to the motor rotor through the bearing friction. To restrain the uncertain friction disturbances and improve the speed stability of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), an optimized active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) algorithm is proposed in this study. Firstly, an auxiliary model of friction and a reduced-order processing method are introduced into extended state observation (ESO) to reduce the burden of single ESO and promote the compensation accuracy of disturbances. In addition, a supervisory radial basis function (SRBF) is employed to supervise and promote the error elimination efficiency of the nonlinear state error feedback rate (NLSEF). The hybrid control algorithm makes up for the deficiency of typical ADRC through the fusion of multiple control quantities. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has strong anti-disturbance performance and effectively solves the problem of low-speed crawling.
This paper investigates the various sources that can serve as a starting point for the study of anthroponomastic processes. We examine two types of resources for this kind of research. On the one hand, we can access more or less established repertoires, as is the case of the database provided by public institutions in different countries (censuses, registers, statistical agencies, among others), whose purpose as a public service is open and multifunctional. On the other hand, this list can be complemented by other compilations of very different origin and purpose that can be used in a subsidiary manner. These corpora are mostly compiled by the onomastics researcher himself, who uses tools such as interviews, surveys or other mechanisms from which onomastic catalogues can be established, as well as gathering other relevant information in the processes that take place to determine the impact of certain parameters in the attribution processes, specifically in that which affects personal names.

In Great Britain, there were people who thought about the former Prime Minister‘s safety upon leaving the British Legation (inside the British Mission) – where he was given sanctuary between March 6th-May 7th, 1945, fearing for his life after his Government fell under Soviet duress. Inquired by Mr. Martin, MP, in the House of Commons, the British Foreign Office informed that the General had left British Mission on May 7th, 1945, as the Romanian Government offered assurances in taking steps to protect him. Still, the Romanian Government imposed to the General that he should not leave his nephew’s house, although he was not charged of anything. Alerted by Rădescu’s nephew, British and United States officials manifested concern about the General’s fate. On September 21st, Brigadier General Schuyler, supported by his British counterpart Air Vice-Marshal Stevenson, complained to Soviet General Vinogradov in the matter of the house arrest, as the Soviets were in charge with the Allied interests in occupied Romania. Vinogradov promised only to continue protection. In order to be recognized by British and United States Governments, the Groza Government were obliged to increase the degree of freedom. In this context on February 4th, 1946, the house confinement was lifted. Fearing arrest, Rădescu left Romania secretly by plane on June 15th, 1946 and became one of the most important leaders of the Romanian émigrés. He died in New York on May 16th, 1953.
These introductory remarks, which may also serve as a brief history of the development of an Atlantic coast and river port archeology in France, additionally provide useful historiographical and epistemological references for a better understanding of the origins of and motivations behind the colloquium organized in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) in June 2018: Roman ports in Atlantic Europe and the corresponding internal waters. At the end of a 20th c., archaeologists and historians primarily worked on examining port potential, without any veritable field activity. The inclusion of this domain in research archaeology excavation, supplemented by exceptional discoveries in the context of rescue archeology, have contributed to the blossoming, at the beginning of the 21st c., of port archeology in metropolitan France, both in estuaries and along rivers. Before embarking on a long journey across the Three Gauls (Lyonnaise, Aquitaine et Belgique), with stops along the way in the best-known ports today, it seemed important to us to recall the foundations of this promising field of study. Some preliminary elements of overview and analysis are also put forward in the following pages; they are meant to encourage general reflection on this field of study, which is currently enhanced by multiple complementary approaches (ethnoarchaeology, virtual restitutions...) and are pursued in the hopes of attaining a better understanding of these ancient harbor spaces. This dossier is also enriched with an opening chapter –chronological and geographical in theme– on the other (Rhine, Rhône and Mediterranean) side of the drainage divide, and which provides a presentation of ports built in lake, fluvio-lacustrine or lagoon settings. In keeping with the conference, this chapter was deliberately angle toward a presentation of port configurations, infrastructures, architectural systems and technological choices made to equip and structure a portion of the port triptych, specifically, loading and unloading areas, the base of banks, as well as navigable space. In this regard, the river-maritime site of Rezé (Loire-Atlantique), tackled between 2005 and 2016 as part of a research program, elucidates perfectly the issue of the relationship between a port and a former branch of the Loire River. Today, its spectacular remains invite a re-appraisal of the ensemble of documentation concerning the Roman ports of the Three Gauls, enriched by recent research excavations, as well as by a wave of rescue operations carried out between 2000 and 2010.
The article began life as, and retains the character of, spoken argument for not allowing the neurosciences to shape the agenda of the history of the human sciences. This argument is then used to suggest purposes and content for the journal, History of the Human Sciences. The style is rhetorical, even polemical, but open-ended. I challenge two clichés about the neurosciences, that they intellectually challenge other areas of knowledge, and that they are reconfiguring the human with the notion of ‘brainhood’. The suggestion is that the real challenges lie elsewhere; specifically with understanding the relations of different forms of knowledge and making it conceivable by political action, or simply mode of life, to implement one way of being human rather than another. The conclusion re-asserts the value of the heading, ‘history of the human sciences’, and of the value of the journal with this name, as a forum in which to reflect on the identity and relations of forms of knowledge about ‘the human’ in all their variety.
Au cours de la campagne de fouille 2019 de l’université de Chypre sur le plateau de Kouklia-Hadjiabdoullah, dans le sud-ouest de Chypre, un tesson inscrit (ostrakon) a été mis au jour. Il porte une inscription peinte en syllabaire chypriote (paphien) où sont enregistrées différentes quantités d’un produit spécifique. Cet ostrakon est le premier témoignage de l’existence, dans la citadelle chypro-classique de l’Ancienne Paphos, d’une administration d’État organisée.
Se presenta un análisis de las inscripciones lusitanas que mencionan los esclavos, limitado necesariamente a personas identificadas de manera explícita como servi o similares. Una proporción bastante más alta de esclavos masculinos refleja tanto un énfasis en el labor físico como una posible exposición de vernae femeninas. Según las edades atestiguadas, muchos esclavos habrían muerto como jóvenes, pero esta documentación no incluye esclavos manumitidos. Además, las inscripciones proporcionan informes interesantes sobre las relaciones de esclavos con sus padres, sus dueños y sus cónyuges.
An analysis of the arrangement system of ancient fortifications dating back to the Early Iron Age allowed to distinguish a special coastal group of sites located on the right bank of the Sura river within the boundaries of the Chuvash Republic. Determination of the topographical features of settlement arrangement, connection between fortified and unfortified settlements, and residential areas are the primary objectives of the spatial analysis. The authors established that the central sites of the micro-regions are settlements surrounded with several satellites located within two kilometers from the settlements. They can be individual or group sites consisting of two sites located in close proximity to each other. The cartographic method allowed to distinguish a group of coastal monuments clearly associated with the riverbank of the Sura. The settlements differ from other sites by their size and diverse system of fortifications. The association between settlements and fortifications is traced by the authors on the example of a group of sites in the vicinity of Ilyina Gora, Vyselok No. 1 and No. 2 in the Yadrinsky district. The gravitational model reveals a weak association factor due to the small size of the sites and their remoteness from each other.
Objective: To provide a description of Starokalmashevo hillfort and the Starokalmashevo gravestone with an Arabic epitaph found in the mid-20th century in close proximity to the site of ancient settlement. They are here described not only as monuments of the Middle Ages, but also as objects of historical heritage testifying to the continuous process of ethno-culturogenesis in the Western Cis-Urals up to modern times.
Research materials: The author considers the issues of medieval history, ethno- and cultural genesis of the Western Cis-Urals in light of the example of the Starokalmashevo hillfort, located on the hill of Kala-tau (Chekmagushevsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan), as well as the Starokalmashevo gravestone. The author provides a complex description of these archaeological and cultural monuments and points out the importance of preserving these objects as an integral part of the local population and the entire Volga-Ural region’s collective historical memory.
Research novelty: The author presents new materials, including the stories of community elders about the origin of the above-mentioned archaeological sites. He analyzes the inscriptions on the tombstone, including its new reading, and draws a conclusion about the continuity of the population of this territory for a sustained period.

Las Visitas personales de indios como inspecciones administrativas fueron largamente utilizadas en el mundo colonial, su interpretación ha dado especial énfasis a su valor como instrumento financiero para el cobro de tributos y como un reflejo de la organización social de la época. En el presente artículo se sugiere una lectura diferente, mirar estos papeles como escenarios de poder, en los que interesan principalmente los procesos de escenificación de rituales, en los cuales confluían la legislación colonial y las prácticas tradicionales locales de derechos y obligaciones. Para sustentar esta nueva lectura se toma como caso de estudio la visita hecha al grupo de los Collaguazos, en 1623, en la Audiencia de Quito. Este era un grupo étnico local registrado desde el siglo XVI y que para fecha de la visita era un cacicazgo supra local que se había adaptado eficientemente a la nueva estructura colonial

Cognitive functions can be assessed and followed up over a period of time with cognitive evoked potentials (CEP) P300. In this context, brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) are most commonly used, but visual evoked potentials (VEP) are utilized as well. The research in this area has demonstrated that these techniques could be used as a supplemental method in diagnostics of numerous diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, vascular dementia, epilepsy, craniocerebral trauma, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and other degenerative diseases. In addition, P300 can also be used as an auxiliary method in the diagnostics of mental disorders conditions such as schizophrenia, panic disorders, narcotic drug addiction, nicotinism, alcoholism, etc. The method assists in monitoring the course of diseases leading to encephalopathy, such as liver and kidney damage and grave anaemia. The advantages of P300 testing are easy application, non-invasiveness, and an unlimited number of potential applications. Moreover, the results obtained with this method are measurable and can be compared.
The paper starts by presenting the criteria which allow differentiating the lamps produced in Scythia Minor from the ones brought there from other provinces. It should be noticed that the lamps made in Tomis and in other Dobrudja centres are provided with ring handles instead of lamellar handles. The pottery manufacturer Euctemon – who signs the lamps made in his workshop with one name only, proof of his origin as a slave – produced three types of lamps. The first type stamped Euctemon belongs to the category of Firmalampen, the second type, with a rosette on the disk, is stamped EYKTHMΩN EΠOIEI, in Greek letters on two rows. The third type, with heart-shaped nib, can be further divided into five groups, according to the patterns represented on the disk: rooster, crater, grape, shell and cantharus, all bearing the same stamp in Greek: Euctemon has made it (the lamp). The largest quantity of stamped lamps is to be found in Tomis, a fact that makes us place his workshop in that city. His lamps are dated to the 2nd century AD, but imitations, made in other workshops, circulated from the 2nd to the 4th century AD.
