Urban landscapes of power in the iberian peninsula from late antiquity to the early middle ages

Architecture as a symbol of power has long been intentionally used to define relationships between individuals, groups, cities and governments. Substantial traces of power and authority in architecture and landscapes during Late Antiquity also demonstrate the economic and political wellbeing of newly emerging elites in Western Europe. I aim to enhance archaeological knowledge of late antique society by exploring how new topographies of power were configured. The research involves six case studies in the Iberian Peninsula. To properly integrate them in a wider archaeological context, I will look at other representative sites in England and France. Each town to be studied has substantial archaeological evidence for the study of spatial configuration of power and to generate urban patterns. Cathedrals, palaces and the construction of large ecclesiastical complexes essentially materialized the spread of early Christianity and the secular elites form the basis of what I will explore in my project. Developed new archaeologies are starting to offer alternative pictures to the traditional images of townscape revealing diverse modes of material expression, symbolic significances of places, the social usage of space, and of structural change. The focus of this research is to draw together still scattered data to chart and interpret the changing nature of life in towns through the Late Antiquity period until Early Middle Age (AD 450-800). A multi-facetted archaeological approach using Geomatic proceedings and its methods and tools (Geography Information Systems, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) makes it possible to reconstruct ancient landscapes generated by social actions within territories across time. A further goal is to promote this archaeological record at a European scale, emphasizing its cultural and scientific dimensions. This project will benefit substantially from new intellectual challenges and training, which will be gained at the UCL Institute of Archaeology.
Effects of magnetic ripple on 3D equilibrium and alpha particle confinement in the European DEMO

An assessment of alpha particle confinement is performed in the European DEMO reference design. 3D MHD equilibria with nested flux-surfaces and single magnetic axis are obtained with the VMEC free-boundary code, thereby including the plasma response to the magnetic ripple created by the finite number of TF coils. Populations of fusion alphas that are consistent with the equilibrium profiles are evolved until slowing-down with the VENUS-LEVIS orbit code in the guiding-centre approximation. Fast ion losses through the last-closed flux-surface are numerically evaluated with two ripple models: (1) using the 3D equilibrium and (2) algebraically adding the non-axisymmetric ripple perturbation to the 2D equilibrium. By virtue of the small ripple field and its non-resonant nature, both models quantitatively agree. Differences are however noted in the toroidal location of particles losses on the last-closed flux-surface, which in the first case is 3D and in the second not. Superbanana transport, i.e. ripple-well trapping and separatrix crossing, is expected to be the dominant loss mechanism, the strongest effect on alphas being between 100â200 KeV. Above this, stochastic ripple diffusion is responsible for a rather weak loss rate, as the stochastisation threshold is observed numerically to be higher than analytic estimates. The level of ripple in the current 18 TF coil design of the European DEMO is not found to be detrimental to fusion alpha confinement.
Renal denervation for treatment of hypertension and beyond

In the letter to the editor ‘‘Renal denervation as a friend of catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation and hypertension’’, Zhang et al. [1] summarize several studies supporting the beneficial effect of renal denervation (RDN) in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation discussed in our recent review [2]. They also mention the potential antiarrhythmic effects of RDN on ventricular arrhythmias. While quite a lot of basic and clinical studies were performed to investigate the effect of RDN on atrial arrhythmias [3], the effect on ventricular electrophysiology and arrhythmogenesis is less clear. The autonomic nervous system is known to play a role in the genesis and maintenance of ventricular arrhythmias [4]. Currently, antiarrhythmic therapies and catheter ablation represent the standard of care in patients with recurrent ventricular tachyarrhythmia and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks. Neuromodulation is emerging as an alternative therapy supported by beneficial effects of thoracic epidural anesthesia, cardiac sympathetic denervation, and spinal cord stimulation shown in animal models and case series of patients with and without cardiomyopathy [4]. In a pig model, RDN reduced the occurrence of ventricular ectopics and ventricular fibrillation after acute myocardial ischemia, while reperfusion arrhythmias were not diminished [5]. Additionally, at least three case series have provided promising data on the safety and effectiveness of RDN alone or as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of patients with ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy and treatment-resistant ventricular tachyarrhythmias [6–8]. Several mechanisms like attenuation of structural changes in the ventricle as well as prevention of ventricular ectopies representing potential triggers for ventricular arrhythmias may underly the clinically observed antiarrhythmic effect by RDN [9]. In summary, besides blood pressure control, modulation of the sympathetic nervous system remains a promising research target in several conditions associated with an elevated sympathetic activity. Randomized placebo-controlled studies are needed to show whether sympathetic inhibition by RDN exerts antiarrhythmic effects and improves ablation outcome in both, the atrium and the ventricle.
Innovative tools and strategies for linking mobility information services in a decarbonised Alpine Space

The Alps are a sensitive environment and the negative impacts of transport (as a main source of emissions and land consumption) have massive impact on the life quality in this area, because many citizens rely on motorized instead on low-carbon mobility options. The shift to sustainable, low-carbon mobility is in the heart of our project, especially when travelling cross-border (regional and national). We aim to offer improved access to low-carbon mobility options and provide seamless, cross-border information through end-user services for tourists and for citizens, in particular for daily commuters so that they change mobility behavior. This way they will access information on all available services (also outside of their region) in one single entry point, plan their trips from door-to-door by using sustainable transport modes and receive up-to-date information (real-time) as the data will be provided by existing service providers in the regions that are linked together in a decentralized manner. We bring together 14 partners from 6 AS countries (+ relevant observers, also from LI)  that tackle the common challenge. We know that this is not a purely technical issue. Hence we focus on building-up the international, operational structure based on an aligned organisational framework for a linked, low-carbon AS. Providing this strategy and a decision-support handbook (addressing different levels in this multi-governed field) we will support public decision makers (inside and outside the project) to uptake the results and become part of a decentralized, distributed system for linking mobility information services across the borders to foster the access to more sustainable passenger transport. But foremost the citizens will benefit from the cross-border journey planning system on low-carbon mobility, by providing easier,more comfortable access to travel information, cross-border trip planning and  aligned mobility services.
The historical-revolutionary museums of petrograd-leningrad, 1917–1941

This project will analyse the formation of memory about the nineteenth-century revolutionary movement in Russia and the 1917 Revolution in a group of historical-revolutionary museums in Petrograd-Leningrad between 1917 and 1941. The two decades after the October Revolution witnessed a transformation of the memory landscape, as Bolshevik leaders exploited the struggle to overthrow the old regime as an instrument of political legitimacy. The scholarship has dealt extensively with the management of the revolutionary narrative from the top; however, key institutions involved in the governance of the recent past, particularly, museums, remain understudied. This pioneering study of museums will provide a unique view of how memory was shaped on the ground. Petrograd-Leningrad is chosen for the analysis due to its status in the Soviet memory politics – that of ‘the city of three revolutions’ and ‘the city of Lenin’. The historical-revolutionary museums explored here include the House Museum for the Memory of Freedom Fighters, the State Museum of the Revolution – GMR, the Museum of Sergei Kirov, the Museum of Lenin in Leningrad, and a handful of smaller, short-lived museums such as the Museum of Komsomol and the Museum of the Army and the Fleet. While scholarship claims that the Soviet state was steady in imposing the ‘Bolshevik-centred’ memory project from 1917 on, I will show how a clash of seeming similar, yet different memory projects unfolded in all these museums. The House-Museum and the GMR operated with a broad concept of the ‘revolutionary movement’ that included all the antimonarchist political forces that had been active in the Russian Empire, not just the Bolsheviks. This project withered only in the early 1930s ceding way to the ‘Bolshevik-centred’ and then ‘Lenin/Stalin-centred’ ones that emphasized the role of the Communist party and mythologized figures of Lenin and Stalin in designing the 1917 revolution – to the detriment of all other participants.
Nondestructive Radioactive Tracer Technique in Characterization of Anion Exchange Resins Purolite NRW-8000 and Duolite A-368

Radioactive tracer isotopes 131 I and 82 Br were used to characterize anion exchange resins Purolite NRW-8000 and Duolite A-368 by application of nondestructive technique. The resin characterization was based on their performance during iodide and bromide ion-isotopic exchange reactions. It was observed that during the iodide ion-isotopic exchange reaction at a constant temperature of 40.0 °C, as the concentration of labeled iodide ion solution increases from 0.001 mol/L to 0.004 mol/L, the percentage of iodide ions exchanged increases from 62.10% to 68.10 % using Purolite NRW-8000 resins and from 44.20% to 46.80% using Duolite A-368 resins. Also at a constant temperature of 40.0 °C, 1.000 g of ion exchange resins and 0.003 mol/L labeled iodide ion solution, the values of specific reaction rate (min -1 ), amount of iodide ion exchanged (mmol), initial rate of iodide ion exchange (mmol/min) and log K d were calculated as 0.260, 0.500, 0.130 and 11.8 respectively for Purolite NRW-8000 resin, which was higher than the respective values of 0.130, 0.345, 0.045 and 6.7 as that obtained for Duolite A-368 resins. The similar trend was observed for the two resins during bromide ion-isotopic exchange reaction. From the overall results it appears that under identical experimental conditions, Purolite NRW-8000 resins show superior performance over Duolite A-368 resins. It is expected here that the present nondestructive technique can be extended further for characterization of different industrial grade ion exchange resins, which will help in their selection for specific industrial application.

ABSTRACT
Transformer is a device used to increase or decrease an AC voltage without any changes in power. The inside of the transformer has an iron core, transformer coil, bushings and conservator tank. A common problem in power transformers is the emergence of operational failures, both thermal failure and electrical interference. Thermal and electrical failure generally results in dangerous gases commonly known as flammable gases.
Most power transformers usually use oil as an insulator which functions in addition to cooling it also to dissolve harmful so that the gas is not circulating freely. The type and amount of dissolved gas concentration in oil can provide information on the indication of failure in the transformer. The method for identifying and analyzing gas dissolved in oil is called the DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) method. This final project is about analyzing the relationship between the load and the DGA test results to identify indications of failure in the transformer.
The analytical method used is three methods, namely TDCG (Total Dissolved Combustible Gas), Roger's Ratio and Duval Triangle. IEEE standards std. C57 - 104.1991 and IEC 60 599 are used as benchmarks for analyzing test results from DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis).
And if the loading results exceed the permitted limit, we will use load reconfiguration using Etap 12.6.0 to reconfigure the load so that it can be safer in operation.

Treatment outcome of women with a single ovary undergoing in vitro fertilisation cycles.

Introduction: Women with a single ovary present a unique problem in assisted reproductive techniques. The aim of our study was to compare the ovarian response and pregnancy rates of women with one ovary and those with two ovaries in assisted reproduction. Methods: A total of 18 consecutive women with a single ovary (n is 22 cycles) were identified. The control group included 44 women with two ovaries and mechanical infertility, who were selected as frequency-matched samples (2:1) to meet the distribution of age at treatment and race in the single ovary group. All patients underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation treatment via the long down-regulation protocol using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist. Standard procedures were carried out for gamete-embryo handling, and embryo transfer was performed using a soft catheter on day two in all cases. The luteal phase was supported by progesterone or Pregnyl after oocyte pick-up. Results: The duration of stimulation (11.3 +/- 1.7 versus 10.1 +/- 1.4 days) and the total follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) consumption (3906.8 +/- 1860.6 mIU/ml versus 2900.0 +/- 1440.0 mIU/ ml) were significantly higher, and the mean number of oocytes (10.8 +/- 4.5 versus 16.8 +/- 10.9) and metaphase II oocytes collected (9.5 +/- 4.5 versus 13.3 +/- 7.7) were significantly lower in the single ovary group (p is less than 0.05). The clinical pregnancy rates (31.8 percent versus 43.2 percent) were comparable between the two groups. Conclusion: Although women with a single ovary required significantly higher doses of FSH and a longer duration of stimulation, as well as produced less oocytes, their clinical pregnancy rates were comparable to those of women with two ovaries in assisted reproduction.

Cerebrospinal fluid findings in COVID-19: a multicenter study of 150 lumbar punctures in 127 patients

Abstract Background Comprehensive data on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile in patients with COVID-19 and neurological involvement from large-scale multicenter studies are missing so far. Objective To analyze systematically the CSF profile in COVID-19. Methods Retrospective analysis of 150 lumbar punctures in 127 patients with PCR-proven COVID-19 and neurological symptoms seen at 17 European university centers Results The most frequent pathological finding was blood-CSF barrier (BCB) dysfunction (median QAlb 11.4 [6.72–50.8]), which was present in 58/116 (50%) samples from patients without pre-/coexisting CNS diseases (group I). QAlb remained elevated &gt; 14d (47.6%) and even &gt; 30d (55.6%) after neurological onset. CSF total protein was elevated in 54/118 (45.8%) samples (median 65.35 mg/dl [45.3–240.4]) and strongly correlated with QAlb. The CSF white cell count (WCC) was increased in 14/128 (11%) samples (mostly lympho-monocytic; median 10 cells/µl, &gt; 100 in only 4). An albuminocytological dissociation (ACD) was found in 43/115 (37.4%) samples. CSF l -lactate was increased in 26/109 (24%; median 3.04 mmol/l [2.2–4]). CSF-IgG was elevated in 50/100 (50%), but was of peripheral origin, since QIgG was normal in almost all cases, as were QIgA and QIgM. In 58/103 samples (56%) pattern 4 oligoclonal bands (OCB) compatible with systemic inflammation were present, while CSF-restricted OCB were found in only 2/103 (1.9%). SARS-CoV-2-CSF-PCR was negative in 76/76 samples. Routine CSF findings were normal in 35%. Cytokine levels were frequently elevated in the CSF (often associated with BCB dysfunction) and serum, partly remaining positive at high levels for weeks/months (939 tests). Of note, a positive SARS-CoV-2-IgG-antibody index (AI) was found in 2/19 (10.5%) patients which was associated with unusually high WCC in both of them and a strongly increased interleukin-6 (IL-6) index in one (not tested in the other). Anti-neuronal/anti-glial autoantibodies were mostly absent in the CSF and serum (1509 tests). In samples from patients with pre-/coexisting CNS disorders (group II [ N = 19]; including multiple sclerosis, JC-virus-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, HSV/VZV encephalitis/meningitis, CNS lymphoma, anti-Yo syndrome, subarachnoid hemorrhage), CSF findings were mostly representative of the respective disease. Conclusions The CSF profile in COVID-19 with neurological symptoms is mainly characterized by BCB disruption in the absence of intrathecal inflammation, compatible with cerebrospinal endotheliopathy. Persistent BCB dysfunction and elevated cytokine levels may contribute to both acute symptoms and ‘long COVID’. Direct infection of the CNS with SARS-CoV-2, if occurring at all, seems to be rare. Broad differential diagnostic considerations are recommended to avoid misinterpretation of treatable coexisting neurological disorders as complications of COVID-19.

17β-Estradiol affects lung function and inflammation following ozone exposure in a sex-specific manner

Inflammatory lung diseases affect men and women disproportionately, suggesting that fluctuations of circulating hormone levels mediate inflammatory responses. Studies have shown that ozone exposure contributes to lung injury and impairment of innate immunity with differential effects in men and women. Here, we hypothesized that 17β-estradiol enhances inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), triggered by ozone exposure, in the female lung. We performed gonadectomy and hormone treatment (17β-estradiol, 2 wk) in C57BL/6J female and male mice and exposed animals to 1 ppm of ozone or filtered air for 3 h. Twenty-four hours later, we tested lung function, inflammatory gene expression, and changes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). We found increased AHR and expression of inflammatory genes after ozone exposure. These changes were higher in females and were affected by gonadectomy and 17β-estradiol treatment in a sex-specific manner. Gonadectomized male mice displayed higher AHR and inflammatory gene expression than controls exposed to ozone; 17β-estradiol treatment did not affect this response. In females, ovariectomy reduced ozone-induced AHR, which was restored by 17β-estradiol treatment. Ozone exposure also increased BALF lipocalin-2, which was reduced in both male and female gonadectomized mice. Treatment with 17β-estradiol increased lipocalin-2 levels in females but lowered them in males. Gonadectomy also reduced ozone-induced expression of lung IL-6 and macrophage inflammatory protein-3 in females, which was restored by treatment with 17β-estradiol. Together, these results indicate that 17β-estradiol increases ozone-induced inflammation and AHR in females but not in males. Future studies examining diseases associated with air pollution exposure should consider the patient’s sex and hormonal status.
