literatura contemporánea árabe a través de sus cubiertas: un análisis desde la retórica visual
Authors: Gutiérrez Almenara Angelina
Published: January 2024

Es de todos conocido que la función que cumple la cubierta de un libro es doble: ofrecer una idea global del contenido de la obra y atraer a clientes potenciales mediante su diseño. En el caso de la literatura extranjera traducida, el elemento de la cubierta desempeña un papel aún más clave, ya que cataloga la obra que contiene, determina su modo de lectura, predispone o prejuzga. El objetivo que persigue este artículo es realizar un repaso por la literatura árabe traducida a las lenguas cooficiales de España durante los últimos doce años a través de algunas de sus cubiertas y así reflexionar sobre las tendencias en diseño editorial, la influencia que ejerce o no el imaginario colectivo en el proceso de diseño y el afianzamiento, cambio o renovación de los estereotipos, imágenes y símbolos vinculados a esta literatura.

Authors: Csáky-Szunyogh Melinda
Published: January 2024

A veleszületett fejlődési rendellenességek, congenitális anomáliák az eltérő prenatális fejlődés miatt magzati életben létrejövő állapotok, amelyek közül a többség súlyos morbiditással, mortalitással és élethosszig tartó működéskieséssel jár. Hazánkban 1962-től elrendelt, azóta folyamatosan működő, kötelező adatgyűjtés regisztrálja a veleszületett fejlődési rendellenességek speciális, a Betegségek Nemzetközi Osztályozása tizedik revíziója által XVII. főcsoportba sorolt, meghatározott csoportját alkotó állapotokat. A veleszületett rendellenességek jelentős része megelőzhető, a megelőzés feltétele a gyakoriság változások és kiváltó okok kutatása, az eredmények közreadása, és intézkedések, ajánlások létrehozása, majd az erre épülő népegészségügyi programok szervezése, megvalósítása. A Veleszületett Rendellenességek Országos Nyilvántartása jó alapot nyújt a rendellenességek trendjeinek vizsgálatához, az ártalmas hatások korai felismeréséhez és a magzati diagnosztika eredményeinek felméréséhez. Ebben az áttekintésben bemutatom a rendellenesség-regiszterek működésének indokoltságát, a Veleszületett Rendellenességek Országos Nyilvántartása monitor funkcióit és felügyeleti rendszerének értékét.

OBJECTIVE

This study sought to determine whether firocoxib (FIRO) or meloxicam (MEL) was effective at providing analgesia after surgical castration in goats.

ANIMALS

18 intact male crossbred goats (6 to 8 months old) were enrolled with a mean weight of 32.6 (± 2.9) kg.

METHODS

Surgical castration was done under injectable anesthesia by a licensed veterinarian. Twelve bucks were surgically castrated and given either FIRO (n = 6) or MEL (n = 6). Six bucks served as controls (CNTLs) and were not castrated. Outcome measurements included visual analogue scale, infrared thermography, plasma cortisol, plasma substance P, and kinetic gait analysis. All outcome measurements were obtained at –24, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours.

RESULTS

All 3 treatments were significantly different from each other at the 24- and 48-hour time points, with MEL animals having lower visual analogue scale scores when compared to FIRO animals; CNTL animals exhibited the lowest plasma cortisol levels (3.19 ng/mL; 95% CI, –1.21 to 7.59 ng/mL) followed by FIRO (7.45 ng/mL; 95% CI, 3.10 to 11.80 ng/mL) and MEL (10.24 ng/mL; 95% CI, 5.87 to 14.60 ng/mL). FIRO had an average mean decrease in gait velocity change (–54.17 cm/s; 95% CI, –92.99 to –15.35 cm/s), while MEL had an increase in gait velocity when compared to baseline values (14.54 cm/s; 95% CI, –24.27 to 53.36 cm/s). Control animals had an average mean of –3.06 cm/s (95% CI, –41.88 to 35.75 cm/s).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results from this study showed that there were some analgesic effects from administering MEL when compared to bucks that received a placebo treatment (CNTL).

Published: January 2024

In view of the recent plans on RES announced by the EU targeting to reduce the EU’s dependence on fossil fuels from Russia, Romania has made a step forward and enacted some legislative changes. Law no. 18/1991 on the land fund, Emergency Government Ordinance no. 34/2013 on the organisation, management and use of permanent grass land and Law no. 50/1991 on the authorisation of construction works have been temporary amended in view of targeting to shorten and simplify the permitting proceedings applicable for renewable energy projects.
Architects’ Fitness for Purpose Obligation: Obligations of Means or Obligations of Result?
Authors: Jaberi M. Saleh , Karimian Esmaeil
Published: January 2024

There is a consensus among various legal systems that professional service providers must perform their duties with reasonable skill and care. However, it has been doubted whether their services must be compatible with the intended purpose of their clients. In the construction industry, the work of building contractors ought to fit the intended purpose of owners, and three theories have been proposed regarding the extension of this obligation to architects. Some believe that architects only bear the “obligation of means”, which only requires efforts to provide a suitable design without guaranteeing a specific result. A few others, however, believe that the architects’ duty is an “obligation of result”, which imposes strict liability on architects to provide a design compatible with the intention of their clients. A third and more fair theory has also been developed that differentiates architects’ obligations based on the type of structure. This article looks into these theories and the reasons behind each of them.
British influence on continental legal tradition in Croatia: Holy Grail or a Wrong Trail?
Authors: VULETIĆ Igor
Published: January 2024

The Croatian legal system is traditionally under the dominant influence of the Germanic legal tradition. This is a logical consequence of historical circumstances, which state that present-day Croatia was long part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the field of criminal law, which is the focus of this paper, there is a significant influence of Austrian, German, and Swiss criminal law. However, since 2008, new trends have emerged, first evident in procedural law (through the introduction of the previously typical AngloAmerican institution of plea bargaining in criminal proceedings), and then from 2013 also in substantive criminal law. In the Criminal Code of 2013, sexual offenses were modeled after the English Sexual Offences Act of 2003, which has sparked considerable controversy in theory and practice. In this text, the author critically examines this legislative shift in tradition from the perspective of comparing the historical circumstances of the English and Croatian criminal law backgrounds. The author discusses the differences in criminal justice systems of these countries, compares the circumstances of the origin and shaping of sexual offenses in the mentioned legislations, and presents the results of their own research conducted in Croatia, reflecting whether the new legal solution was successful and whether it achieved its purpose. Based on this, the author provides an answer to the hypothetical question of whether a solution implemented from one legal tradition can successfully exist in the conditions of another significantly different legal tradition.

Authors: Al-Maghrabi Mohsin , Alsaadi Yazeed , Aloss Rabee , Aljarboa Abdullah , Algannas Turki
Published: January 2024

Background:
Graves' disease is rarely diagnosed in children under 5 years. It can lead to serious developmental and growth problems if it is not early diagnosed and properly managed.
Case presentation:
A case of 4-year-old Saudi female was presented with family history of hyperthyroidism and unremarkable past medical history. She was presented to the emergency department with on and off fever, irritability, thyroid swelling and bilateral eye protrusion with no other positive clinical findings. Her thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was low (0.005 uIU/ml), and free thyroxine (T4) was normal (18.78 pmol/L). Thyroid ultrasound showed diffused enlargement of both lobes. Electrocardiogram revealed sinus tachycardia and incomplete bundle branch block. The patient was diagnosed with Graves' disease and started carbimazole and B-blocker treatment. Although it is usually a disease of older patients, Graves' disease should be considered in cases of tachycardia in children. As relapses are common in such cases, an appropriate management plan and follow up should be counted to achieve long term remission.
Conclusion:
Tachycardia in children should be taken seriously where hyperthyroidism to be considered. Treatment options are variable to achieve control and long-term remissions.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Approximately 80% of cervical cancer occurs in developing countries of which India contributes about 20-30% of the global burden. WHO considers cervical cancer as a preventable disease because it can be diagnosed in its precancerous phase. Cytology and VIA for screening and colposcopy for directed biopsy jointly may achieve accuracy of approximately 90% to 99%.Methods: An observational cross sectional comparative study was performed to find accuracy of screening protocols of exfoliative cervical cell cytology and visual inspection under acetic acid in terms of the diagnostic test of Colposcopy guided biopsy on 300 symptomatic women of age 18-60 years over the period of one year.Result: Both PAP and VIA positivity increased with age, increasing parity, gynaecological symptoms. PAP and VIA positive results co related with Colposcopy directed biopsy histopatholgy reports in a statistically significant proportion.Discussion: VIA can screen out a large number of women suspected to have cervical cancer in an easy method done in OPD in naked eye and does not require any meticulous microscopic examination with a high degree of sensitivity and high false positivity but on the other hand PAP was less sensitive but more specific test when both combined with Colposcopy guided biopsy.Conclusion: The associations between distribution of women who were Pap +ve and histology +ve as well as VIA and histo +ve were statistically significant.

Published: January 2024

This study was designed to determine the antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of methanol extracts of different parts (aerial and bulb) of Ornithogalum nutans as well as to investigate the total phenolic and flavonoid amounts. While the total phenolic content of the extracts varied between 1.43±0.01/3.05±0.04 mg GAE/g of extract equivalent, the total flavonoid amount varied between 0.33±0.01/1.79±0.02 mg QE/g. Antioxidant activities were determined by DPPH, ABTS, ß-Carotene/Linoleic acid, CUPRAC, and FRAP methods. The antioxidant activity studies determined that the aerial methanol extract exhibited a higher activity than the bulb. Acetylcholinesterase and tyrosinase enzyme inhibitory activities of the extracts were determined, and the extracts showed lower activity than galantamine (89.41±0.05 %) and kojic acid (89.41±0.05 %) used as standard. The results reveal the potential of O. nutans extracts to be used in pharmacological studies in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Authors: SAVAŞ Elif
Published: January 2024

The phenolic compounds in jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill) leaf were extracted using ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) for potential of antioxidant food additive in this study. The extraction factors such as methanol concentration, temperature and time were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) to maximize of the total phenolic content (TPC), 2,2 -diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity and phenolic profile in jujube leaf extracts (JE). The best possible range for methanol concentration (25-50%), duration of ultrasound (20-40 min), ultrasonic temperature (40–60 °C) were obtained using the Box-Behnken design (BBD). The optimum extraction parameters were obtained with 25% methanol concentration, 20 min duration of ultrasound and 49.89 °C ultrasonic temperature. Ellagic, caffeic, rosmarinic acid, and rutin were determined as major phenolics in JE under optimal extraction parameters. The results revealed that UAE is an effective pretreatment for extracting bioactive ingredients from JE as potential functional food additive. Furthermore, RSM is an effective method for optimizing the UAE factors.

Published: January 2024

RESUMO

As perdas energéticas em dispositivos eletromagnéticos apresentam duas principais parcelas: perdas no cobre (em condutores elétricos como cobre e alumínio) e ferromagnéticas (em núcleos de aço-silício). Ainda, as ferromagnéticas se dividem em três parcelas: por histerese, por correntes de Foucault e anômalas. De maneira geral, as perdas anômalas são menos significativas, podendo ser desprezadas. Este trabalho apresenta uma metodologia para estimar as perdas ferromagnéticas em transformadores a partir das características físicas e dimensões do núcleo. Abordando um exemplo, são apresentadas as etapas de cálculo a serem seguidas. Resultados obtidos experimentalmente para as perdas ferromagnéticas de dois transformadores reais também são apresentados.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: transformadores, perdas ferromagnéticas, histerese magnética, correntes de Foucault.

O tempo exigido para resolução de processos judiciais impacta a economia, a confiança dos investidores em um país e a vida da população. No Brasil, princípios de boas práticas fornecem diretrizes referentes à duração razoável do processo. Entretanto, modelos de aprendizagem de máquina podem prever com precisão o tempo total processual e prover insights referentes a possíveis causas de ineficiência. Trabalhos da literatura fornecem soluções nesse sentido, porém não consideram as movimentações processuais realizadas no processo durante seu trâmite. Este trabalho utiliza modelos de aprendizagem de máquina treinados com características pautadas na sequência de movimentações processuais e características do tribunal responsável pelo processo. Investiga assim a habilidade dos modelos para a tarefa, além de considerar a importância das features envolvidas. Foram utilizados processos eleitorais de diferentes tribunais regionais, TREs, de estados do nordeste brasileiro. Os modelos foram capazes de prever o tempo total processual com alta acurácia em que o Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) obteve R² médio de 0.9. Os resultados sugerem a eficiência da abordagem e a exploração de técnicas de mineração de processos como diferencial para a tarefa.

Published: January 2024

We investigate the interfacial electronic structure of n-type bulk MoS2 upon the adsorption of CoPc and CoPcF16 mono- and few-layers using advanced spectroscopic techniques. These include X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). Our findings indicate that the adsorption of CoPc enhances the degree of n-doping at the interface with MoS2. In contrast, CoPcF16 results in a nearly intrinsic position of the Fermi level. Furthermore, we note the formation of an induced gap state near the valence band maximum for monolayer CoPcF16 on MoS2. These observations underscore the potential to fine-tune the interfacial electronic properties of transition metal dichalcogenides through molecular functionalization for tailored electronic applications.

Published: January 2024

Inspired by interlocked oligonucleotides, peptides and knotted proteins, synthetic systems where a macrocycle cages a bioactive species that is “switched on” by breaking the mechanical bond have been reported. However, to date, each example uses a bespoke chemical design. Here we present a platform approach to mechanically caged structures wherein a single macrocycle precursor is diversified at a late stage to include a range of trigger units that control ring opening in response to enzymatic, chemical, or photochemical stimuli. We also demonstrate that our approach is applicable to other classes of macrocycles suitable for rotaxane and catenane formation.
Development and application of a novel model based on percolation theory for advanced pore network characterization by physical adsorption
Authors: Söllner Jakob , Neimark Alexander , Thommes Matthias
Published: January 2024

Physical adsorption is one of the most widely used techniques to characterize porous materials because of being reliable and able to assess micro- and mesopores within one approach. However, challenges persist in characterizing disordered and hierarchically structured porous materials. This study introduces a pore network model aiming to enhance the textural characterization of nanoporous materials. Our model, based on percolation theory on a Bethe lattice, includes all mechanisms known to contribute to adsorption hysteresis in mesoporous pore networks during capillary condensation and evaporation. The model accounts for delayed and initiated condensation during adsorption as well as equilibrium evaporation, pore blocking and cavitation during desorption. Coupled with dedicated non-local-density functional (NLDFT) kernels, the proposed method provides a unified framework for modeling the entire experimental adsorption-desorption isotherm, including desorption hysteresis scans. Hence, our model unveils key pore network characteristics like the effective connectivity, but also has the potential to determine pore size distributions of mesoporous materials by taking quantitatively pore network effects into account. The applicability of the method is demonstrated on a selected set of nanoporous silica materials exhibiting distinct types of hysteresis loops (types H1, H2a, H1/H2a and H5) including ordered mesoporous silica networks, i.e, KIT-6 silica, hybrid SBA-15/MCM-41 silica with plugged pores, but also two disordered silica pore networks, i.e., a hierarchical meso-macroporous monolith and porous Vycor glass. For all materials, good correlation is found between simulated and experimental primary adsorption and desorption isotherms as well as desorption scans allowing for a determination of key pore network characteristics such as pore connectivity and pore size distributions.The versatility and enriched textural insights provided by the proposed novel network model allows for a comprehensive characterization previously inaccessible, and hence will contribute to a further advancement in the textural characterization of novel nanoporous materials for optimizing important applications such as catalysis, separation processes, gas-and energy storage.

Published: January 2024

Discoveries of novel electrolyte-electrode combinations require comprehensive structure-property-interface correlations. Herein, we present an autonomous millimeter scale high-throughput battery research system (MISCHBARES) operated by hierarchical autonomous laboratory automation and orchestration (HELAO) which integrates modular research instrumentation and AI control. This paper will present cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) formation in lithium-ion batteries at various potentials by correlating high-throughput electrochemistry and spectroscopy. We believe quality control and complex data analysis to be the missing puzzle piece towards more complex workflow automation. Auto-MISCHBARES integrates automatic quality control for both hardware and software to ensure high reliability through an on-the-fly fidelity assessment of each individual experiment. Data analysis is achieved through our Modular and Autonomous Data Analysis Platform (MADAP) in our presented platform, which is capable of performing a fully automated analysis of various voltammetry measurements in real-time. Integration of MISCHBARES and MADAP through HELAO enables versatile and complex active learning workflows in the discovery of new materials. We demonstrate this integrated workflow for reliable charging/discharging protocols.
A Perspective on the Simulation of ECD and CPL Spectra in Chiral Solid Materials
Authors: Caricato Marco
Published: January 2024

Chiral materials have shown tremendous potential for many technological applications, like optoelectronics, sensing, magnetism, information technology, and imaging. Characterization of these materials is mostly based on chiroptical spectroscopies such as electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). These experimental measurements would greatly benefit from theoretical simulations for the interpretation of the spectra as well as for predictions on new materials. While ECD and CPL simulations are well established for molecular systems, they are not for materials. In this perspective, we describe the theoretical quantities necessary to simulate ECD and CPL spectra in oriented systems. Then, we discuss the approximate strategies currently used to perform these calculations, what computational machinery is already available to develop more general approaches, and some of the open challenges for the simulation of ECD and CPL spectra in solid materials. When methods that are as reliable and computationally efficient as for molecules are developed, these simulations will provide invaluable insight and guidance for the rational design of optically active materials.

Studies on precipitation Chemistry were carried out with the aim to understand the nature and sources of rainwater at Utaewa (Location 1), a coastal village and Ikpetim, near Ibom Power Station (Location 2), all in Ikot Abasi Local Government Area, southern, Nigeria. These locations respectively represent the coastal and industrial regions. The rainwater samples, collected at these locations, were analyzed for major cations, anions, electrical conductivity and pH with the aim of identification of variation in the physiochemical compositions of the rainwater samples. The analysis of the rainwater samples gave a pH at locations 1 and 2 as 5.62 ± 0.26 and 5.77± 0.25 respectively during the wet season, while the pH of the rainwater at locations 1 and 2 during dry season were 5.41 ± 0.14 and 5.84 ± 0.21 respectively. The pH values indicated acidic water and were below the World Health Organisation (WHO) Standard of 6.5 to 8.5, but close to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) optimum pH value of 5.6 for rainwater from unpolluted continental areas. The predominance of 𝐶𝑙−and𝑁𝑎+ were observed in the coastal environment whereas, calcium, sulphate, nitrate and ammonium ions predominate in industrial environment where there are power generating plants, Aluminium smelting company and gas station. The total anion (37.9%) at Utaewa is less influenced by anthropogenic activities whereas total anion (72.5%) at Ikpetim, near Power Plant is influenced by pollutants emitted by anthropogenic activities. The ratio:𝐻+/(NO3- + SO42-) was observed as 0.04 and 0.008 for Utaewa and Ikpetim respectively, which are close to zero, indicating that 99 % of acidity in the rainwater is neutralized in the study area with no consequence of acidity impact on the soil, surface waters and groundwater in the study area. Ca2+ , K+ and Na+ play important roles in neutralization of acidic ions in rainwater. For source identification, correlation matrix analysis was established, which showed that at locations 1 and 2,strong correlation exists between the acidic ions SO42- and NO3-, indicating their origin from anthropogenic activities. This is viewed to be attributed to the similarity in their behaviour in precipitation and the co-emissions of their precursors, which are SO2 and NO2. The major ion enrichment factors (EF) followed the order at location 1 during the dry season;𝐶𝑎2+𝑁𝑎+⁄ (8.58) >𝐾+𝑁𝑎+⁄ (4.32) >𝑆𝑂42−𝑁𝑎+⁄ (0.68) >𝐶𝑙−𝑁𝑎+⁄ (0.11), while the enrichment factor (EF ) during the wet season at location 1 followed the order , 𝐶𝑎2+𝑁𝑎+⁄ (11.92 )>𝐾+𝑁𝑎+⁄ (3.78) >𝑆𝑂42−𝑁𝑎+⁄ (0.88) >𝐶𝑙−𝑁𝑎+⁄ (0.11).
Centriole and transition zone structures in photoreceptor cilia revealed by cryo-electron tomography

Primary cilia mediate sensory signaling in multiple organisms and cell types but have structures adapted for specific roles. Structural defects in them lead to devastating diseases known as ciliopathies in humans. Key to their functions are structures at their base: the basal body, the transition zone, the “Y-shaped links,” and the “ciliary necklace.” We have used cryo-electron tomography with subtomogram averaging and conventional transmission electron microscopy to elucidate the structures associated with the basal region of the “connecting cilia” of rod outer segments in mouse retina. The longitudinal variations in microtubule (MT) structures and the lumenal scaffold complexes connecting them have been determined, as well as membrane-associated transition zone structures: Y-shaped links connecting MT to the membrane, and ciliary beads connected to them that protrude from the cell surface and form a necklace-like structure. These results represent a clearer structural scaffold onto which molecules identified by genetics, proteomics, and superresolution fluorescence can be placed in our emerging model of photoreceptor sensory cilia.
Provincial architect with a competitive edge: Arthur Griffin, the early years
Authors: Addison Paul
Published: January 2024

Arthur Reynolds Griffin was born in Nelson in 1883, and began architectural practice on his own account in that city in 1906. He quickly earned two important commissions by winning competitions for the design of the new Carnegie Library in Hokitika in 1906 and the relocated Nelson Girls' School the following year, kickstarting his career. The latter project led to his appointment as architect to the Nelson Education Board and further school jobs. By 1910, he had completed several prominent commissions in Nelson, including the replacement Trafalgar Hotel in the central city, the new Home for Old People in Waimea Road, and the imposing new premises for the Nelson Evening Mail. He went on to design numerous notable Nelson landmarks, such as: the Cawthron Steps in front of the cathedral (1913); Nelson Hospital (1925), since demolished; and the Trathen's Building in Trafalgar Street (1922), demolished in 2016. This paper will, however, focus on his early works, from the first decade of the twentieth century.
The Tūārangi Old Men's Home
Authors: Dudding Michael
Published: January 2024

The "old men" of the Ashburton Old Men's Home were relocated from their former Immigration Barracks site to a purpose-built campus on the outskirts of Ashburton in 1902. Their new home, named Tūārangi Old Men's Home, quickly came to be upheld as one of the premier institutions of its type in New Zealand. The early history of Tūārangi Home, both before and after this move, provides an insight into the changing status of both the "poor" and the difference that a modern building, designed on approved principles, might be able to make for their lives - in this case: those "destitute old men" from Ashburton and beyond.
The Langham Private Hotel: an iconic merger of architecture, urbanism, and decoration in Edwardian Newtown
Authors: Jacobs Jamie
Published: January 2024

Completed in 1908, the Langham Private Hotel in Newtown, Wellington - now known as Ashleigh Court - embodied optimism and grand ambition indivisible from its surrounding community. The building was designed to have maximum visual effects on a high-profile triangular site and was conceived during the suburb of Newtown's heady days of rapid and substantial expansion in the decades around the turn-of-the-twentieth century. Located within a precinct composed mainly of two-storey, timber commercial buildings, the three-storey masonry building housing ground-level stores and a hotel far outstripped its neighbours in size, materials, and architectural articulation. The masonry wedge with its continuous façade along two street fronts featuring superbly executed plaster decoration could only impress.

This paper will explore how the Langham Private Hotel's excellence in design resulted from an enlightened merger of architecture, siting, and decoration within Newtown's otherwise uniform commercial streetscape. It will consider its relationship to the typology of plastered, masonry commercial buildings that came to define modernity and progress in late-Victorian and Edwardian Wellington. Finally, it will attempt to understand the ambitions and meanings present in its eclectic plaster decoration that would have been evident to contemporaries. In nearly every design dimension, the Langham Private Hotel can be considered an apex of urban design in Edwardian New Zealand.
Christchurch's houses in 1900
Authors: Watson Katherine
Published: January 2024

What did Christchurch's domestic architecture look like in 1900? And how had it evolved to look like that? The demolition of numerous nineteenth-century houses in the city following the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 provides a unique opportunity to examine the development of the city's domestic architecture using the techniques of buildings archaeology. This research, which is part of my doctoral thesis, reveals a nuanced picture of how Christchurch's houses evolved and provides a starting point for understanding why these changes took place, what they might have meant and how they might have related to the city's identity.
