According to ninth-century sources, Charlemagne gave alms to the poor of Carthage and shortly thereafter his envoys came back to Gaul carrying with them the relics of St Cyprian, which they stealthily took away from the main church of Carthage. This episode has attracted little attention by scholars, since it is often taken for granted that African Latin Christianity was almost extinct by the ninth century, but recent studies have pointed out that this was not the case. Far from instigating his envoys to steal some neglected relics, Charlemagne obtained them after reaching an agreement with both the Aghlabid emir Ibrahim and the bishop of Carthage, who obtained urgently-needed foodstuffs in exchange. A few months after his imperial coronation, Charlemagne was thus able to symbolically extend his authority to Africa by aiding local Christians and receiving the relics of Carthage’s most famous saint.

Av. de la Marina (Algeciras) between 2005 and 2007. As the main novelty, and thanks to the study of the common amphorae and ceramics of the site, we have been able to identify a High and Middle Imperial phase in the ancient Iulia Traducta, thanks to the identification of a Flavian Haltern 70 amphora and parts of Dressel 20 and Almagro 51c amphorae. The cemetery continued in use until at least the 4th century, as attested by amphorae of North African production.

Abstract: Keywords: · Stair rails · Handrail · Decorative wrought iron · Injuries · Children · Elders · Safety The stairs provide a means of ascent or descent. Stairways need to be protected by a stair rails to prevent the chances of falling. Major cause of stair-related injuries is poor design and construction of stair rails that affect the user's gait and visual attention. The stair rails to a variety of potentially hazardous characteristics, including riser height irregularity. Stair rails must be designed to resist the loads they are likely to experience throughout their lives without collapsing or becoming unstable and without deflecting unacceptably, causing a loss of amenity. The barrier must also be sufficiently durable, without the need for reconstruction. Changed many of the standards previously agreed upon from the industry. While bad design is the most commonly cited reason for stairway fall injuries, other reasons cited include user behavior

There has been a blossoming of scholarly work on the Bhāgavata Purāṇa (BhP) in recent years.This work has brought renewed attention to, and appreciation of, a text that—as many have argued—has been neglected in the academic study of religion. In the present volume, Gopal Gupta echoes the later sentiment while continuing the efforts of his predecessors.

A Wandering Minor Tune as a Reflection of Musico-Cultural Heterotopia in Rebetiko by Spiros Delegos / Symposium for Music Researchers in Finland 2024 (27th March 2024, Joensuu, Finland) / Abstract: Rebetiko is generally considered to be a Greek urban popular musical genre that originated during the interwar period, commonly conceptualised in relation to a broad urban network spanning the contemporary Greek nation-state, the Ottoman Empire and the USA as a migration destination. A part of the rebetiko repertoire springs from the revitalisation of pieces by creative agents via musico-cultural intersections and transformation processes facilitated by gramophone recording technology. Such phenomena have frequently been described within the context of the ‘East-West’ divide. In my paper, drawing upon the theoretical background of historical ethnomusicology and the Foucauldian concept of heterotopia, I focus on the meandering of a minor tune viewing it as a reflection of musico-cultural heterotopia in rebetiko. Thus, beyond the diverse ideologically charged narratives of the ‘East-West’ dualism, I endeavour to perceive the blending of musico-cultural elements “represented”, “contested”, and “inverted” (quoting Foucault) in the rebetiko-related context as a musico-cultural heterotopia. In this regard, I apply the philosophical concept of heterotopia in the musico-cultural field of rebetiko to analyse and interpret phenomena that emerge through musical amalgamation as a consequence of the historical musico-cultural trajectories of an influential melody for the development of rebetiko, known in earlier recordings as Minore manes or Smyrneiko Minore and later evolving into the emblematic rebetiko piece Minore tou Nteke. The research material is the relevant contemporary recordings and biographical information regarding the protagonists (Yiovanikas, Halikias, etc.).
