Academic research on newly discovered ancient Buddhist manuscripts is largely based on objects that come from the antiquities market and to a much lesser degree on objects coming from documented and controlled archaeological excavations. Despite their being unprovenanced, collectors and scholars often present such objects with narratives mimicking provenance. The use of the label "Dead Sea Scrolls" attached to archaeological material without connections to Judaism or early Christianity is a prevalent example of this scholarly praxis. In this article, we deconstruct provenance narratives associated with the undocumented Buddhist manuscripts in the Schøyen Collection and discuss their implications for research on these manuscripts and beyond.

Hidden Hares on a Golden Diadem from Kul-Oba/Приховані зайці золотої діадеми з Куль-Оби, 2023
The comparison of the compositions of the diadem from Kul-Oba and two plates from the ceremonial outfi t from the mound No. 8 of the Pisochyn burial site indicates that the same matrix was used in their manufacture. However, the compositions have distinct diff erences. On the diadem from Kul-Oba, the scene of the attack of the eagle on the hare, which is lying on its back, is missing. Instead, an incomplete iconographic version of the ’snakelegged’ creature was reproduced in the center of the plate, which broke the symmetry and clear rhythmicity of the composition. Also, the diadem from Kul-Oba is distinguished by two unornamented areas along the edges. In the unornamented section on the right side, traces of the erased picture have been preserved, in which the scene of the attack of an eagle on a hare can be unmistakably guessed. Another such scene was obliterated from the middle of the plate, where the artisan recreated an incomplete iconographic version of the ’snake-legged’ creature. Perhaps it was the inconsistency of the scene with the eagle and the dead hare depicted on the diadem with the social status, social functions or age parameters of the deceased from Kul-Oba that caused its complete rejection. This prompted the artisan to radically change the plot of the fi nished decoration. Зіставлення композицій діадеми з Куль-Оби та двох пластин від парадного убору з кургану № 8 Пісочинського могильника свідчить про використання в їхньому виготовленні однієї матриці. Однак композиції мають і виразні відмінності. На діадемі з Куль-Оби відсутня сцена нападу орла на зайця, що лежить простягнутим на спині. Натомість, у центрі пластини було відтворено неповну іконографічну версію «змієногої» істоти, що порушило симетрію та чітку ритмічність композиції. Також діадему з Куль- Оби вирізняють дві неорнаментовані ділянки по краях. На неорнаментованій з правого боку ділянці зберег- лися сліди знищеного зображення, в яких безпомилково вгадується сцена нападу орла на зайця. Ще одну таку сцену було знищено в середині пластини, де майстер відтворив неповну іконографічну версію «змієногої» істоти. Можливо, саме невідповідність відтвореної на діадемі сцени з орлом та мертвим зайцем соціаль- ному статусу, соціальним функціям чи віковим параметрам небіжчиці із Куль-Оби зумовила цілковите її неприйняття. Це і спонукало майстра кардинально змінити сюжет вже готової прикраси.

A stand alone solar photovoltaic (SPV) street lighting system (SLS) is an outdoor lighting unit used for illuminating a street or an open area. The equipment and maintenance costs associated with a stand-alone solar-powered system are compared with the cost of using electricity to run grid connected street lights. The project focused on the viability of using solar energy to power the lights in the area surrounding Peshawar Cantt, Peshawar. An economic analysis is performed to determine if the project is cost effective or not.This paper focuses about the feasibility to replace grid-powered street lamps with a stand-alone system street .The renewable energy source selected for this project is a solar photovoltaic panel. The study was undertaken to determine the capabilities of a stand-alone systems and to analyze the decision to replace the grid connected street lights.The viability of solar energy in Peshawar is determined by weather conditions and the amount of solar insolation tha...
Concerning a bridge built in the beginning of the 2nd century, over the river Strymon (Struma), to Ulpia Pautalia (Kyustendil), on the Roman road starting on the eastern side of the Pass of Succi (Pass of Trajan) to the Adriatic and Rome, – In: Proceedings International Scientific Conference Pres..., 2023
The report is a scientific study of an unknown Roman bridge from the beginning of the 2nd century, from the infrastructure of the main imperial road directly connecting "Via Militaris" (today also called "Via Diagonalis") with the military port near the city of Lissus (Italian: Alessio, modern: Leža, Albania) on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea and from there through the port of the city of Brindizium (modern-day Brindisi) to Rome. Several of the great Roman bridges along this route are also indicated. The bridge was located next to Ulpia Pautalia (now Kyustendil) and crossed the river Strymon (present-day Struma) in close proximity to a Roman road station. Around 1900, the historian Yordan Ivanov studied and measured the remains of the abutments of this bridge, and published the results in 1906 in one of his books. According to this photographing, it is the five-arch construction typical of Roman bridges with two bank and four river abutments, with roadways that descended quite steeply to the two river banks from the top above the center of the middle arch. Its characteristic is unique with a width of 9m, and side arches of 12m. The only other bridge in Europe with such an anomaly is "Ponte Alconetar" over the Tegus River on the route of Via de la Plata, today in the Extremadura region of Spain, considered the work of the imperial architect of Trajan and Hadrian - the brilliant Syrian Apollodorus of Damascus. Since he was building the bridge over the Danube at the time when Emperor Trajan issued his decree declaring Pautalia a city, he most likely commissioned his architect to build some of his structures, including the bridge.
Data Science, Data Visualization, and Digital Twins, 2021
The following chapter presents a concept of a virtual model of a mine shaft equipped with a hoisting system for the purpose of improving the processes of diagnostics management of shaft infrastructure and its monitoring. The chapter presents a proposal of improvement of broadly known processes such as: diagnostics and monitoring of shaft infrastructure using digital models of 3D structures, the BIM and Digital Twin idea. Implementation of such systems in the operating mine working was presented together with expected results of monitoring. As the presented solution is currently only a concept, development of such system in real application is necessary to asses real benefits of application of Digital Twin system.
