The Tiny and the Fragmented. Miniature, Broken, or Otherwise Incomplete Objects in the Ancient World
Authors: Martin S. Rebecca , Langin-Hooper Stephanie M.
Published: September 2020

Miniature and fragmentary objects are both eye-catching and yet easily dismissed. Tiny scale entices users with visions of Lilliputian worlds. The ambiguity of fragments intrigues us, offering tactile reminders of reality's transience. Yet, the standard scholarly approach to such objects has been to see them as secondary, incomplete things, whose principal purpose was to refer to a complete and often life-size whole.
Heroic Offerings: The Terracotta Plaques from the Spartan Sanctuary of Agamemnon and Kassandra
Authors: Salapata Gina
Published: September 2020

This monograph is a contribution to the study of religion in Sparta, one of Greece’s most powerful poleis, whose history is well known but whose archaeology has been much less satisfactorily explored. Through the comprehensive study of a distinctive class of terracotta votive offerings from a specific sanctuary, I shed light on both coroplastic art and regional religion; and by integrating archaeological, historical, literary, and epigraphic sources, I provide important insights into the heroic cults of Lakonia and contribute to an understanding of the political and social functions of local ritual practice.
A Terracotta Treasure at Assos

Published: September 2020

During the summer of 1995, Turkish archaeologists discovered a unique Late Classical tomb in the Western Necropolis of Assos. A modestly designed cist grave, Tomb 4 surprised excavators with the richest cache of grave goods ever found at the ancient city. The 62 well-preserved artifacts, which date from the 4th century BCE, when Aristotle's school of philosophy was active at Assos, consist of terracotta figurines, gold and bronze jewelry, and vases.

Physionomies d’une cité grecque. Développements stylistiques de la coroplathie votive archaïque de Tarente
Authors: Fowler Michael Anthony
Published: September 2020

The present monograph is a revised and expanded version of Ágnes Bencze’s dissertation, defended at the University of Paris I in December 2005. The study, the result of over a decade of research, including autopsy of relevant materials held in several museum storerooms throughout Europe, offers the first systematic stylistic classification of all extant types of mold-made votive terracottas produced in archaic Tarentum. Through the adoption of a broad chronological frame and an exhaustive approach to the corpus of evidence, the author aims to trace the stylistic development of local coroplastic production from its origins in the latter half of the seventh century to the emergence of the distinctly Tarentine form of reclining banqueter in the final decades of the sixth-century. In so doing, the author treats the diverse stylistic influences to which local artisans seem to have been exposed, whether directly or indirectly, and the (art) historical implications of their reception.

The art of the stage set as a paradigm for an aesthetics of atmospheres
Authors: Böhme Gernot
Published: September 2020

Cet article dessine le contour d’une esthétique générale des ambiances (atmospheres) en mettant l’accent sur leur fabrication. De ce point de vue, l’art de la scénographie se révèle être un paradigme pour ce qui concerne les concepts principaux de la théorie des ambiances : les types d’ambiances (caractères), leur quasi-objectivité, les moyens pour produire une ambiance, le contenu émotionnel. La teneur ubiquitaire des ambiances est démontrée par la propension à tout scénographier dans notre civilisation présente : événements publics, politique, marchandises et même vie privée.

What Does Neighborhood Theory Mean for Ecourbanism? Introduction to the Themed Issue on ‘Ecourbanism Worldwide’
Authors: Sturgeon Daniel , Holden Meg , Molina Ana
Published: September 2020

A growing chorus of planners and designers heralds the neighborhood as the best scale at which to pursue a shift toward low-carbon, “green” living alternatives to the status quo Western lifestyle. Within this, attention to ecourban developments, as a set of planning, design, social and technological arrangements for living better within resource limits, has increased; ecourban neighborhood scale developments, as well as the certification frameworks seeking to imbue them with legitimacy, can be found in different countries worldwide. They hold potential lessons for one another across environmental, design and engineering perspectives while also serving as catalysts and demonstration projects of planning, policy and design for sustainability in their local contexts. They offer new opportunities for learning about living well. This is not to say that the rolling out of ecourban neighborhoods in different contexts around the world does not engender tensions. Models, frameworks and practices of ecourbanism may carry divergent interpretations of sustainability and hence advance, to varying degrees, different priorities. These divergences can be seen, for example, across livability, environmental, social and economic priorities. Similar tensions also occur on the issue of scale, with ecourban developments taking form as urban redevelopment megaprojects, technological innovation demonstration projects, smaller-scale alternative lifestyle projects, and other scales in between. This special issue of Articulo - Journal of Urban Research advances the exploration of current trends in ecourban neighborhood-scale developments, including the tensions that they raise. This introduction to the special issue provides a summary of the literature on ecourbanism and the importance of the ‘neighborhood scale’, a synopsis of the Ecourbanism Worldwide project, and provides a brief introduction to the scholarly work included in this special issue.
Le principe de la folie et de la raison. Association des idées et liaison des idées aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles
Authors: Radica Gabrielle
Published: September 2020

Les auteurs qui, depuis Descartes et Gassendi, ont étudié l’association des idées et lui ont ménagé une place dans leur théorie de la connaissance, ont d’abord vu dans ce phénomène une cause d’erreur et de folie. Peu à peu cependant, qu’il s’agisse d’« association » ou de « liaison » des idées, ce type de phénomènes a été tenu pour un principe explicatif de la connaissance, jusqu’à devenir le principe, comme c’est le cas chez Condillac ou Hume, de toutes nos connaissances, et ce, avant d’être compris comme la loi fondamentale de la psychologie du xixe siècle. Avant cette captation par la psychologie, les philosophes classiques ont montré leurs hésitations et leurs interrogations sur la meilleure façon de décrire ce processus et de l’insérer dans leurs systèmes philosophiques, et ce sont ces difficultés et particularités que les articles du recueil présentés ici cherchent à étudier. La liaison des idées semble en effet défier les oppositions du sujet et de l’objet, de la nature et de l’habitude, du mécanique et du spirituel.
Ovide dans la General estoria d’Alphonse X
Authors: García Irene Salvo
Published: September 2020

La thèse « Ovide dans la General estoria d’Alphonse X » a pour objectif l’étude de la réception du poète latin dans l’histoire universelle conçue au sein de l’atelier dirigé par Alphonse X pendant le dernier quart du xiiie siècle (ca. 1270-1284). Ladite œuvre prétendait relater l’histoire de l’homme depuis la Genèse jusqu’au règne du roi Alphonse lui-même. La source fondamentale de la General estoria est la Bible. S’ajoutent à la matière biblique diverses notices païennes ou « gentilles » (étrangères au peuple hébreu). Dans les deux premières parties de la General estoria, les sources fondamentales pour les récits gentils sont les Métamorphoses et les Héroïdes d’Ovide. Cet usage est complété par un emploi fragmentaire des Fastes, des Remèdes à l’amour, de l'Art d’aimer et des Pontiques. Nous avons porté notre attention aussi bien sur la méthode de traduction de l’œuvre d’Ovide que sur les techniques de compilation de la General estoria. Ainsi, cette thèse est structurée de la façon suivante : 1) une introduction où nous décrivons les règles qui caractérisent la lecture d’Ovide au Moyen Âge (ch. 1) ; 2) une étude des éléments contextuels du texte latin en trois sections : une étude des accessus, des gloses et des commentaires qui accompagnaient le texte latin dans l’étape médiévale (ch. 2) ; une analyse des œuvres mythographiques qui s’insèrent dans la compilation (ch. 3) ; enfin, la description des caractéristiques qui définissent l’utilisation des œuvres d’Ovide moins employées : les Fastes, l'Art d’aimer, les Pontiques et les Remèdes à l’amour (ch. 4). Finalement, dans le deuxième bloc de la thèse (ch. 5), nous avons fait une analyse exhaustive et détaillée des fragments empruntés aux œuvres d’Ovide dans la General estoria.
Puellae doctae en la corte de los Reyes Católicos (1470-1555): educación, literatura y mecenazgo
Authors: Martínez Alcorlo Ruth
Published: September 2020

Este monográfico se centra en las mujeres letradas presentes en la corte de los Reyes Católicos en un arco temporal fijado desde el nacimiento de la primogénita de los soberanos, Isabel, hasta la muerte de la más longeva de sus hijas, Juana I de Castilla. Estas infantas, princesas y reinas fueron sujetos políticos, pero también alumnas de los mejores humanistas, que las educaron en sus años de formación intelectual, mecenas de las artes y promotoras de obras literarias. Debido a sus matrimonios de estado, las cuatro hijas de Isabel y Fernando, es decir, Isabel (1470-1498), Juana (1479-1555), María (1482-1517) y Catalina (1485-1536), establecieron lazos políticos, pero también artísticos, con las cortes de Portugal, los Países Bajos e Inglaterra, donde fueron admiradas por su cultura y donde se convirtieron no solo en motivo literario, sino también en motor artístico dentro del Humanismo que recorría Europa. Los artículos contenidos en este monográfico se focalizan principalmente en la educación, la literatura en torno a ellas y el mecenazgo artístico de estas excepcionales mujeres desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar que aúna la Filología, la Historia y la Historia del Arte.
De profielen van bedrijven die bedrijfswagens gebruiken in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest
Authors: Ermans Thomas
Published: September 2020

Op basis van de gegevens in de Bedrijfsvervoerplannen van het BHG (2014) hebben we drie profielen opgesteld van bedrijven die bedrijfswagens ter beschikking stellen. Deze laatste worden gedefinieerd als alle bedrijven die minstens 10 bedrijfswagens per 100 werknemers hebben, een minimum dat nagenoeg alle overheidsdiensten en de gezondheids- en onderwijssector uitsluit.Deze factsheet werkt niet alleen specifieke profielen uit, maar onderstreept de correlatie tussen de terbeschikkingstelling van bedrijfswagens aan werknemers en andere kenmerken. Het gebruik van bedrijfswagens draagt met een vrijgevige terbeschikkingstelling van parkeerplaatsen en een slechte bereikbaarheid met het openbaar vervoer bij tot mobiliteitsprofielen op bedrijfsniveau die in het algemeen gericht zijn op het gebruik van de wagen voor de woon-werkverplaatsingen
Sur L’Ère du clash de Christian Salmon
Authors: Bautier Roger
Published: September 2020

L’Ère du clash, paru en 2019, est présenté par son auteur, Christian Salmon, comme la suite de l’ouvrage Storytelling. La machine à fabriquer des histoires et à formater les esprits, publié une douzaine d’année auparavant. Mais cette suite étudie un bouleversement dans les techniques de communication : du récit omniprésent, qui minore le raisonnement, on serait passé à la technique des chocs et des ruptures, qui anéantit le récit et se fonde sur le discrédit de toutes les sources d’information. Pourtant, le livre ne porte pas seulement sur ce bouleversement et il reprend aussi l’analyse du storytelling. Sa lecture conduit donc à examiner non seulement les relations entre ce discrédit et les techniques de communication, mais aussi celles entre la narration et l’argumentation, qui sont particulièrement complexes. Cet examen débouche sur une suggestion : réintroduire une approche sociologique de la communication dans l’analyse des évolutions qui sont traitées dans le livre.

Cochlear Otosclerosis: An Undiagnosed Cause of Progressive Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Authors: Lahiri Asish Kumar , Gupta Anandita , Vohra Rakesh , Sharma Shalabh , Singh Satinder
Published: September 2020

Introduction

Otosclerosis presents as conductive or mixed hearing loss depending upon the stage of the disease. Isolated sensorineural hearing loss though known to occur has been rarely reported. Pure cochlear otosclerosis presenting as sensorineural hearing loss should be considered as a differential diagnosis in young patients presenting with progressive hearing loss. The aim of this article is to note the prevalence of cochlear otosclerosis in young patients presenting with progressive sensorineural hearing loss. 

Materials and Methods

Retrospective chart analysis of 19 patients who presented with progressive SNHL with unknown etiology was done.

Results

Otosclerosis involving the pericochlear region was diagnosed in 27 ears which was identified by high resolution CT scan of temporal bone. In four ears, in addition, there was demineralization just anterior to oval window without clinical evidence of stapes fixation.

Conclusion

In young patients with progressive SNHL, high resolution CT scan of temporal bone should be done to identify progressive cochlear otosclerosis. Medical management should be initiated in these patients to halt the progression of disease.
NECESSIDADE DE INVESTIMENTOS EM INFRAESTRUTURA PARA UNIVERSALIZAÇÃO DO SANEAMENTO BÁSICO NO COMBATE A PANDEMIAS
Authors: Sion Alexandre Oheb
Published: September 2020

O novo coronavírus implicou muitos desafios à esfera pública, afetando os sistemas econômico e de saúde púbica do mundo todo. Ao analisarmos as formas de propagação do vírus, verificamos que o esgoto não tratado pode ser um vetor de disseminação da doença, bem como a inexistência de água potável em algumas regiões do Brasil para efetuar os cuidados preventivos mais básicos. Tal situação causa inquietude e provoca a reflexão sobre as formas de alcance da universalização dos serviços imprescindíveis à saúde e ao bem-estar humanos e inerentes à dignidade da pessoa humana. Nesse sentido, buscamos analisar o princípio da universalização dos serviços de saneamento básico à luz do novo marco legal do setor. Para tanto, utilizamos o método teórico documental do tipo dedutivo, com base na nossa experiência e na análise doutrinária, jurisprudencial e legal. Concluímos que o novo marco legal trouxeinovações significativas no que toca à regulação setorial e na busca pela universalização do serviço de saneamento básico no Brasil.

VIGIAR, PUNIR E LUCRAR
Authors: Romêo Christiane , Quintanilha Gabriel Sant´Anna , Ferreira Lier Pires , Weber Ricardo Basílio
Published: September 2020

Esse pequeno ensaio é fruto de uma vontade de discutir o direito além da normatividade ou das produções estritamente jurídicas, partindo-se da pergunta segundo a qual “por que não pensar a História do Direito Moderno – a gênese da retórica jurídica da modernidade – a partir da literatura, da ciência política e da economia?”. Sem grandes pretensões, propõe-se ao leitor usar olhos de Historiador das Ideias e contemplar o Direito e ousar dizer que entre termos e temas aparentemente tão diferentes há intercessões. Elas seriam o próprio Direito, mas também a vontade de conectá-lo ao que surge a partir do fim da Idade Moderna: Individualismo, Liberalismo, Autonomia da Vontade etc. Essa seria uma interessante de forma a abordar a gênese de um novo momento na história ocidental em que novas regras, novas ideologias, novas percepções da ação humana e novas crenças apareceram pari passu, juntando o Direito, a Literatura, Religião, as formas do pensar e as instituições. Trata-se de oferecer ao leitor a possibilidade de desnudar os mitos em torno da dogmática jurídica juntando-os aos demais mitos em torno da ratio humana.

Authors: Tang Yubo , Anandasabapathy Sharmila , Richards‐Kortum Rebecca
Published: September 2020

Optical endoscopy is the primary diagnostic and therapeutic tool for management of gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. Most GI neoplasms arise from precancerous lesions; thus, technical innovations to improve detection and diagnosis of precancerous lesions and early cancers play a pivotal role in improving outcomes. Over the last few decades, the field of GI endoscopy has witnessed enormous and focused efforts to develop and translate accurate, user‐friendly, and minimally invasive optical imaging modalities. From a technical point of view, a wide range of novel optical techniques is now available to probe different aspects of light–tissue interaction at macroscopic and microscopic scales, complementing white light endoscopy. Most of these new modalities have been successfully validated and translated to routine clinical practice. Herein, we provide a technical review of the current status of existing and promising new optical endoscopic imaging technologies for GI cancer screening and surveillance. We summarize the underlying principles of light–tissue interaction, the imaging performance at different scales, and highlight what is known about clinical applicability and effectiveness. Furthermore, we discuss recent discovery and translation of novel molecular probes that have shown promise to augment endoscopists' ability to diagnose GI lesions with high specificity. We also review and discuss the role and potential clinical integration of artificial intelligence‐based algorithms to provide decision support in real time. Finally, we provide perspectives on future technology development and its potential to transform endoscopic GI cancer detection and diagnosis.

Objective

Current understanding of the neuromodulatory effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on large‐scale brain networks remains elusive, largely due to the lack of techniques that can reveal DBS‐induced activity at the whole‐brain level. Using a novel 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐compatible stimulator, we investigated whole‐brain effects of subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation in patients with Parkinson disease.

Methods

Fourteen patients received STN‐DBS treatment and participated in a block‐design functional MRI (fMRI) experiment, wherein stimulations were delivered during “ON” blocks interleaved with “OFF” blocks. fMRI responses to low‐frequency (60Hz) and high‐frequency(130Hz) STN‐DBS were measured 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postsurgery. To ensure reliability, multiple runs (48 minutes) of fMRI data were acquired at each postsurgical visit. Presurgical resting‐state fMRI (30 minutes) data were also acquired.

Results

Two neurocircuits showed highly replicable, but distinct responses to STN‐DBS. A circuit involving the globus pallidus internus (GPi), thalamus, and deep cerebellar nuclei was significantly activated, whereas another circuit involving the primary motor cortex (M1), putamen, and cerebellum showed DBS‐induced deactivation. These 2 circuits were dissociable in terms of their DBS‐induced responses and resting‐state functional connectivity. The GPi circuit was frequency‐dependent, selectively responding to high‐frequency stimulation, whereas the M1 circuit was responsive in a time‐dependent manner, showing enhanced deactivation over time. Finally, activation of the GPi circuit was associated with overall motor improvement, whereas M1 circuit deactivation was related to reduced bradykinesia.

Interpretation

Concurrent DBS‐fMRI using 3T revealed 2 distinct circuits that responded differentially to STN‐DBS and were related to divergent symptoms, a finding that may provide novel insights into the neural mechanisms underlying DBS. ANN NEUROL 2020;88:1178–1193
Genetic Risk of Alzheimer's Disease and Sleep Duration in Non‐Demented Elders

Published: September 2020

Growing evidence has suggested an association between sleep duration and Alzheimer's disease (AD), but it is unclear if sleep duration is a manifestation of the AD disease process. We studied whether genetic liability for AD predicts sleep duration using a genetic risk score (GRS) for AD (AD‐GRS), in 406,536 UK Biobank participants with European ancestry and without dementia at enrollment. Higher AD‐GRS score was associated with shorter sleep (b = −0.014, 95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.022 to −0.006), especially in those aged 55+. Using AD‐GRS as an instrumental variable for AD diagnosis, incipient AD reduced sleep duration by 1.87 hours (95% CI = 0.96, 2.78). Short sleep duration might be an early marker of AD.

On the Understandings of Dielectric Constant and Its Impacts on the Photovoltaic Efficiency in Organic Solar Cells

Published: September 2020

Dielectric constant (ε) is an important parameter affecting the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells (OSC). Increasing ε of bulk heterojunctions in general can benefit the performance of OSCs, as an increased ε will reduce the influence of Coulomb interaction between weakly bound electron‐hole pairs on charge‐transfer states or bimolecular recombination involving mobile carriers to reduce geminate and nongeminate losses. In this review, we overview the current understandings on dielectric constant and its impacts on exciton dissociation and voltage losses in OSCs and summarize recent efforts attempting to modify the dielectric properties of OSC materials through synthetic approaches. We further discuss the commonly adopted techniques for determining the parameter of ε with stressing the testing conditions that may affect the accuracy of results. At last, we suggest that novel experimental methods to improve the dielectric constant and resultant physical processes in OSCs will be appreciated, which helps enrich the existing strategy reservoir toward enhancement of photovoltaic efficiencies.
Recomposing kinship
Authors: Wolf‐Meyer Matthew
Published: September 2020

What would happen if we accepted technological connection as a form of reckoning kinship? In exploring this position, I draw on accounts of disability and illness. First, I focus on an account of fecal microbial transplant use and the intimate connections the technology creates between the recipient and donor. This is followed with the case of a woman who relies upon facilitated communication to communicate with her social others, which depends on her use of other persons to interact with a keyboard. In both cases, material connections with and through technology disrupt the putative nature of kinship as based in “custom” and “blood.” Taking technological mediation in the production of kinship networks seriously destabilizes humanist conceptions of the contours and capacities of bodies, eroding the distinction between self and world. In apprizing the role of technology in making kinship networks, attention to disability and illness experiences of the world point to ways out of dominant conceptions of the human and the need to ethnographically attend to nonnormative bodily engagements with material worlds as the basis for emergent forms of personhood and subjectivity.

Authors: Buzigi Edward , Pillay Kirthee , Siwela Muthulisi
Published: September 2020

Pumpkin is a potential rich source of vitamin A precursors called provitamin A carotenoids (PVACs), while common bean is a potential rich source of iron and zinc. This study evaluated the effect of cooking locally available pumpkin, Sweet cream (Cucurbita moschata) on PVACs retention in Uganda. Furthermore, the effect of cooking locally available common bean, Obwelu (Phaseolus vulgaris) on iron and zinc retention was evaluated. Expert caregivers from the local community cooked pumpkin by either boiling or steaming, while common bean was cooked by either boiling with prior soaking or boiling without prior soaking. PVACs in raw and cooked pumpkin were analyzed by high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), while iron and zinc in raw and cooked common bean were analyzed by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS). Conversion of PVACs into vitamin A retinol activity equivalents (RAE) was calculated using the Institute of Medicine (2001) recommendations for the bioconversion of PVACs into vitamin A. Micronutrient retention was measured using true retention. β‐carotene, α‐carotene, and vitamin A content in raw pumpkin was 1,704 µg/100 g, 46 µg/100 g and 1,437 µgRAE/100 g, respectively. Either boiling or steaming pumpkin resulted in over 100% retention of PVACs and vitamin A. Iron and zinc retention for boiled common bean with prior soaking was 92.2% and 91.3%, respectively. Boiling common bean without prior soaking resulted in 88.4% and 75.6% retention of iron and zinc, respectively. In conclusion, to retain a high proportion of PVACs caregivers should be advised to cook Sweet cream by either boiling or steaming, while to retain a high proportion of iron and zinc, Obwelu should be prepared by boiling with prior soaking.

This study compared the effects of diosmin and its aglycone, diosmetin, on body weight, liver fat, serum cholesterol, and glucose intolerance in male C57BL/6 mice fed a high‐fat high‐sucrose (HFHS) diet for 12 weeks. The mice were divided into four groups that received the following diets: normal diet (ND), HFHS diet, HFHS diet with 0.5% diosmin, and HFHS diet with 0.5% diosmetin. The body weight increased significantly in the HFHS diet group but decreased significantly in the HFHS diet with 0.5% diosmin group. The diosmin and diosmetin treatment inhibited fat accumulation in liver and epididymal tissues, and improved glucose intolerance by lowering glucose levels during a glucose tolerance test; these effects were greater in the diosmin group than those in the diosmetin group. Furthermore, only diosmin significantly ameliorated dyslipidemia, by reducing TC and LDL‐C levels, while diosmetin had little effect on these parameters. Taken together, the results showed that diosmin and diosmetin can prevent fat accumulation and glucose intolerance; however, diosmin was more effective and also showed an antidyslipidemic effect.
Abnormal pattern detection in PPG signals during sports and exercises
Authors: Quan Long , Wu Yunming
Published: September 2020

Pulse oximeter is an important clinical equipment, which can measure the photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal to calculate the heart rate, blood volume, breathing, hypovolemia etc. However, the PPG signal is easily interfered by some factors, such as body movement in sports or exercises. Before calculating the heart rate, blood volume, breathing, or hypovolemia, we need to recognize these interfered segments. In order to identify these abnormal patterns, the PPG signal is converted as a symbol sequence which consists of several characters. Then, the segment of PPG signal is represented as a character sequence. The abnormal pattern in PPG signal is detected by the distance between character sequences which are obtained from local and global information. When the distance is great than a threshold, the segment is regarded as an abnormal pattern. The proposed method also can be used in other physiological signals.
