Notes on the Roman Forts at Old Kilpatrick and Croy Hill, and on a Relief of Jupiter Dolichenus
Authors: MacDonald George
Published: March 2023

Further excavation at Old Kilpatrick focussed on its relationship to the Antonine Wall, further investigation of the Military Way and the north-west corner of the fort. Previous work is re-assessed in the light of the results. Excavation of the rampart at Croy Hill provided inconclusive results although the discovery of a stone-built underground chamber with steps down to it is considered in detail. The most remarkable find was two fragments of a sculptured relief of the Syrian god, Jupiter Dolichenus with a partial inscription.
An Inventory of Objects of Roman and Provincial Roman Origin found on Sites in Scotland not definitely associated with Roman Constructions
Authors: Curle James
Published: March 2023

The inventory records the occurrence of Roman finds on ninety-six sites in Scotland. Most are provincial and derive from Gaul, the Rhineland, or Britain. They are widely distributed over the country, though, as might be expected, the more important finds come from the area south of the Antonine Wall.

A Fort at Skitten, Wick, Caithness, with Notes on Flint Implements from the same County
Authors: Duff-Dunbar Louisa
Published: March 2023

This paper examines the artefacts found at the hillfort at Skitten, Kilminster, in the parish of Wick, Caithness. There are at least three sites, two within the rampart and one to the southside. Among the finds were three hearths, three fragments of flint, a Bronze Age cinerary urn, a claystone polisher, and one tiny bit of burnt bone. Notably, there was no trace of a cairn. Duff-Dunbar argues Skitten was a flint workers site, decidedly a poor one, due to the large quantity of small round scrapers and lack of fine finished implements. The paper concludes by comparing Skitten with flints sites elsewhere in Caithness, Moray, Aberdeen, and Banff.

Reindeer antlers from Rousay, Orkney
Authors: Platt Margery I
Published: March 2023

This paper analyses reindeer antlers dug out of peat on the island of Rousay, Orkney. They comprise of one pair of antlers attached to the frontal bones of the skull, and a single antler, larger than any previously recorded from Scotland. As another large reindeer antler of Scottish origin was uncovered on Rousay, Platt argues large and strong reindeer existed on Orkney in prehistoric times. Platt discusses the history of reindeer, their record in Scotland, and the designation of the kind of reindeer. Subsequently, Platt describes the antler’s, their measurements, and artificial markings, complete with illustrations.
A Bronze Bowl from the Rhinns of Galloway
Authors: Anderson R S G
Published: March 2023

The bowl was found inverted in the soil while ploughing. It is a simple bowl of hammered bronze, made from a single sheet of metal without ornamentation. The most distinctive feature of the Awhirk bowl is a small circular perforation surrounded by a finely incised circle in the centre of the rounded base. The bowl is thought to be a clepsydra, or water-clock; and as such is in a separate category from the other cauldrons in Scotland, which in all likelihood were intended for culinary purposes or brewing. The clepsydra was at first a very simple affair '” a plain bowl with a\r\nsmall perforation in the base, which could be floated on water and gradually filled by percolation till it finally sank '” an attendant noting the time taken to fill, and the number of refills needed in a given period.
Scottish Late Bronze Age Axes and Swords
Authors: Henderson William
Published: March 2023

A list of all the socketed axes and leaf-shaped swords in Scotland is presented along with maps showing their geographical distribution. From the main body of these two groups, distinctive types have been selected and by comparative study an effort has been made to establish reliable connections with areas outside Scotland. The objects were not evolved here; in common with most of the Scottish Late Bronze Age metal types they originated outside the country. An attempt is made to explain the presence of these Continental types in Scotland.
Scottish Gravers of Flint and Other Stones
Authors: Lacaille A D
Published: March 2023

Gravers were common during the Upper Paleolithic and continued to be used in degenerate form in the Mesolithic. The essential characteristic of the graver is the chisel-edge formed by the meeting of two bezels, single or multi-faceted, at the extremity of a flake or blade, or sometimes of a core lending itself to suitable treatment. Most Scottish examples have been found in Tweedside.
Excavation of Two Bronze Age Burial Sites in Ayrshire
Authors: McLeod Alexander G
Published: March 2023

The excavation of a stone circle and associated burial cairn at Beoch revealed fourteen large stones, one of which was prostrate and resembled a tombstone. The cairn had been disturbed and scatters of burnt bone with sherds of three cinerary urns were identified. One cist contained a ring-marked block of stone while the second cist was empty. A second circle at Nith Lodge comprised fifteen stones. Excavation of the interior revealed eight cremation burials, two incense cups, a cinerary urn, charcoal and a stone axe-hammer.

Notes on Some Antiquities from Sutherland
Authors: Davidson J M , Edington G H
Published: March 2023

Two cists were found side by side at Achinchanter whilst ploughing. The crouched skeleton in the first cist was very badly decomposed and only fragments of skull and long bone survived. The second cist contained a human jaw bone, a flint barbed and tanged arrowhead, a Food Vessel and a fragment of bronze. A sculptured stone from Embo Street formed part of a cist. The symbol suggests the form of a much shortened spade with a greatly exaggerated handle. There is a single cup on the underside of the stone. Two cup-marked boulders at Duible are described along with a group of three tumuli and a carved stone ball from Golspie. A cist in a mound at Ascoilemore contained only an urn.

Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century mural decorations at the House of Kinneil, Bo'ness, West Lothian
Authors: Richardson James S
Published: March 2023

During the reign of James V the close connection between the Scottish Royal Court and that of France had a marked influence on the plastic art and architecture of Scotland and this is illustrated by the mural decorations at the House of Kinneil. From 1546 to 1550 large sums were spent on building and furnishing the tower at Kinneil, and in 1553 the foundation of the Palace was laid. The surviving murals are described in detail and many illustrations are included.

A Keg of 'Bog-Butter' from Skye and its Contents
Authors: Ritchie James
Published: March 2023

In Ireland the practice of burying butter and other items such as tallow continued into the seventeenth century in contrast to Scotland where it appears to have stopped long ago. The Skye keg was discovered during peat cutting. A detailed description of the birch keg and its method of manufacture is provided followed by analysis of the butter. Chemical analysis could not confirm that the deposit was made up of butter fat but this could be due to decomposition. Animal and human hair were found within it.
Medieval Dwelling sites and a Primitive Village in the Parish of Manor, Peeblesshire
Authors: Stevenson Robert B K
Published: March 2023

A class of sites described as scooped enclosures are characterised by a hillside location. The area marked off by an enclosing rampart or wall is mostly lower than the ground outside. This is markedly so on the uphill side, where the enclosing wall stands on the level of the ground outside and is clearly not meant to be defensible against attack from above. The interior is not uniformly level, but consists of a number of separate level "floors," quasi-circular, arranged in the main in two horizontal rows. The downhill side of the lower row is probably levelled up by terracing. The general shape of the enclosure is oval, usually with the long axis\r\nhorizontal. The partial excavation of one of these is described and its function as a dwelling is confirmed. Excavation of a nearby hut-circle failed to recover any dating evidence.

AS MARCAS HETERONORMATIVAS DA FESTA DE SÃO JOÃO:
Authors: Passos Marlon Marcos Vieira
Published: February 2023

Este artigo analisou os aspectos heteronormativos presentes nas festas de São João, a partir denarrativas autoetnográficas desenvolvidas através de memórias, sensações, sentimentos, elaborações à luz de teorias da cosmosensação, vistas em autoras africanas como Oyèrónké Oyěwùmí e Sobonfu Somé, além de tratar a autoetnografia como um método de pesquisa antropológica já validadas emautores como Walter Goldschmidt, e Silvio Matheus Alves Santos. Também, ao narrar as minhas experiências como um corpo homossexual em construção sofrendo as dores do maior festejo junino do Nordeste brasileiro, me utilizei da teoria de performatividade em Judith Butler, e fiz um percurso autoetnográfico trazendo para o centro das minhas discussões as marcas da heteronormatividade do São João na minha construção como pessoa da infância até o presente momento, explorando algumas teorias, mas, ainda mais sensações, sentimentos e escrituras sobre mim, as quais fizeram-medesenvolver a minha subjetividade de homem homossexual no mundo.
Intersectoral pratices in primary health care: from achievement to challenges / Práticas intersetoriais na atenção primária à saúde: da concretude aos desafios
Authors: Mendonça Edna Mara , Amorim Maria Marta Amancio , Viegas Selma Maria da Fonseca , Lanza Fernanda Moura
Published: March 2023

Objetivo: compreender a concretude e os desafios das práticas intersetoriais na Atenção Primária a Saúde. Método: pesquisa qualitativa desenvolvida em um município brasileiro de médio porte no período de fevereiro a julho de 2018. A fonte de evidência foi a entrevista semiestruturada com 59 profissionais e gestores ligados à Atenção Primária a Saúde e os dados foram analisados segundo a Análise de Conteúdo Temática. Resultados e discussão: a intersetorialidade é concretizada perante a demanda dos usuários por cuidado integral na Atenção Primária a Saúde. O Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família e as Equipes de Saúde da Família buscam os arranjos necessários para formação de rede intrasetorial ou intersetorial. Considerações finais: percebeu-se o papel primordial da gestão para indução das ações intersetoriais nos territórios, como o fomento à inserção de práticas intersetoriais na agenda de trabalho; e em espaços de construção coletiva enquanto potencializadores das políticas públicas.
Recent Revisions to Chapter 13 for the AMA Guides, Sixth Edition, 2023
Authors: Underhill James G , Kraemer Diana
Published: February 2023

The sixth edition (2023) of the AMA Guides® to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) adopted the terminology and conceptual framework of disablement as put forward by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. The sixth edition focuses on diagnosis-based impairments (6th ed, 2). In the AMA Guides, Sixth Edition (2008), Chapter 13, The Central and Peripheral Nervous System, had significant rating-process discrepancies with other chapters. This article identifies the discrepancies and explains the revisions made to Chapter 13 and its new title of “The Nervous System,” so that it is congruent with other chapters in the AMA Guides.
Assessment of Sex Disparities in Nonacceptance of Statin Therapy and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels Among Patients at High Cardiovascular Risk
Authors: Brown C. Justin , Chang Lee-Shing , Hosomura Naoshi , Malmasi Shervin , Morrison Fritha , Shubina Maria , Lan Zhou , Turchin Alexander
Published: February 2023

Importance

Many patients at high cardiovascular risk—women more commonly than men—are not receiving statins. Anecdotally, it is common for patients to not accept statin therapy recommendations by their clinicians. However, population-based data on nonacceptance of statin therapy by patients are lacking.

Objectives

To evaluate sex disparities in nonacceptance of statin therapy and assess their association with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol control.

Design, Setting, and Participants

A retrospective cohort study was conducted from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2022, of statin-naive patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or LDL cholesterol levels of 190 mg/dL (to convert to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0259) or more who were treated at Mass General Brigham between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2018.

Exposure

Recommendation of statin therapy by the patient’s clinician, ascertained from the combination of electronic health record prescription data and natural language processing of electronic clinician notes.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Time to achieve an LDL cholesterol level of less than 100 mg/dL.

Results

Of 24 212 study patients (mean [SD] age, 58.8 [13.0] years; 12 294 women [50.8%]), 5308 (21.9%) did not accept the initial recommendation of statin therapy. Nonacceptance of statin therapy was more common among women than men (24.1% [2957 of 12 294] vs 19.7% [2351 of 11 918]; P < .001) and was similarly higher in every subgroup in the analysis stratified by comorbidities. In multivariable analysis, female sex was associated with lower odds of statin therapy acceptance (0.82 [95% CI, 0.78-0.88]). Patients who did vs did not accept a statin therapy recommendation achieved an LDL cholesterol level of less than 100 mg/dL over a median of 1.5 years (IQR, 0.4-5.5 years) vs 4.4 years (IQR, 1.3-11.1 years) (P < .001). In a multivariable analysis adjusted for demographic characteristics and comorbidities, nonacceptance of statin therapy was associated with a longer time to achieve an LDL cholesterol level of less than 100 mg/dL (hazard ratio, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.55-0.60]).

Conclusions and Relevance

This cohort study suggests that nonacceptance of a statin therapy recommendation was common among patients at high cardiovascular risk and was particularly common among women. It was associated with significantly higher LDL cholesterol levels, potentially increasing the risk for cardiovascular events. Further research is needed to understand the reasons for nonacceptance of statin therapy by patients and to develop methods to ensure that all patients receive optimal therapy in accordance with their preferences and priorities.

Objectives

This study compared the utility of corneal nerve measures with brain volumetry for predicting progression to dementia in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Methods

Participants with no cognitive impairment (NCI) and MCI underwent assessment of cognitive function, brain volumetry of thirteen brain structures, including the hippocampus and corneal confocal microscopy (CCM). Participants with MCI were followed up in the clinic to identify progression to dementia.

Results

Of 107 participants with MCI aged 68.4 ± 7.7 years, 33 (30.8%) progressed to dementia over 2.6‐years of follow‐up. Compared to participants with NCI (n = 12), participants who remained with MCI (n = 74) or progressed to dementia had lower corneal nerve measures (p < 0.0001). Progressors had lower corneal nerve measures, hippocampal, and whole brain volume (all p < 0.0001). However, CCM had a higher prognostic accuracy (72%–75% vs 68%–69%) for identifying individuals who progressed to dementia compared to hippocampus and whole brain volume. The adjusted odds ratio for progression to dementia was 6.1 (95% CI: 1.6–23.8) and 4.1 (95% CI: 1.2–14.2) higher with abnormal CCM measures, but was not significant for abnormal brain volume.

Interpretation

Abnormal CCM measures have a higher prognostic accuracy than brain volumetry for predicting progression from MCI to dementia. Further work is required to validate the predictive ability of CCM compared to other established biomarkers of dementia.

Regenerative wound healing involves the scarless wound healing as observed in fetal skin. Multiple features of regenerative wound healing have been well studied; however, the practical application of pro‐regenerative materials to recapitulate the regenerative wound healing in adult skins has not yet been achieved. In this study, the authors identified that their novel pro‐regenerative material, pyrogallol‐functionalized hyaluronic acid (HA‐PG) patches in combination with protein transduction domain‐fused Dishevelled (Dvl)‐binding motif (PTD‐DBM), a peptide inhibiting the CXXC‐type zinc finger protein 5 (CXXC5)‐Dvl interaction, promoted regenerative wound healing in mice. The HA‐PG patches loaded with this competitor peptide and valproic acid (VPA), a glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) inhibitor, significantly inhibited scar formation during wound healing. The HA‐PG patches with PTD‐DBM and/or VPA inhibit the expression of differentiated cell markers such as α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA) while inducing the expression of stem cell markers such as CD105 and Nestin. Moreover, Collagen III, an important factor for regenerative healing, is critically induced by the HA‐PG patches with PTD‐DBM and/or VPA, as also seen in VPA‐treated Cxxc5−/− mouse fibroblasts. Overall, these findings suggest that the novel regeneration‐promoting material can be utilized as a potential therapeutic agent to promote both wound healing and scar attenuation.

Published: February 2023

Metal‐organic framework (MOF)‐based membranes, featuring potential molecular sieving effects and therefore capable of surmounting the ubiquitous trade‐off between membrane selectivity and permeability, hold great promise for multitudinous chemical separations. Nevertheless, it remains highly challenging for the large‐area fabrication of ultrathin MOF membranes with variable thickness, great homogeneity, and preferential orientation. Herein, this work reports the facile fabrication of ultrathin (down to 20 nm) NUS‐8 membranes in large‐area (>200 cm2) yet with great homogeneity and texture along (00l) direction due to the superior solution processability of the as‐synthesized NUS‐8 nanosheets. The resultant NUS‐8 membranes with good adhesion properties and certain flexibility exhibit excellent rejections (>98% for Mg2+ and Al3+, and dyes with molecular weights larger than 585.5 g mol−1) toward aqueous separation of various metal ions and dyes at modest permeance (1–3.2 L m−2 h−1 bar−1) due to the well‐aligned structures. Such separation performance outstands among polymetric membranes, thin‐film composite membranes, mixed matrix membranes, and other MOF membranes reported in the literature. The separation mechanism is reasonably discussed based on the experimental and theoretical results. This study opens up novel perspectives for preparing ultrathin and large‐area MOF membranes using the solution processability of MOFs.

Published: February 2023

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) exhibit tremendous potential in display technologies owing to their unique optical properties, such as size‐tunable emission wavelength, narrow spectral linewidth, and near‐unity photoluminescence quantum yield. Significant efforts in academia and industry have achieved dramatic improvements in the performance of quantum dot light‐emitting diodes (QLEDs) over the past decade, primarily owing to the development of high‐quality QDs and optimized device architectures. Moreover, sophisticated patterning processes have also been developed for QDs, which is an essential technique for their commercialization. As a result of these achievements, some QD‐based display technologies, such as QD enhancement films and QD‐organic light‐emitting diodes, have been successfully commercialized, confirming the superiority of QDs in display technologies. However, despite these developments, the commercialization of QLEDs is yet to reach a threshold, requiring a leap forward in addressing challenges and related problems. Thus, representative research trends, progress, and challenges of QLEDs in the categories of material synthesis, device engineering, and fabrication method to specify the current status and development direction are reviewed. Furthermore, brief insights into the factors to be considered when conducting research on single‐device QLEDs are provided to realize active matrix displays. This review guides the way toward the commercialization of QLEDs.

Flexible and stretchable biosensors can offer seamless and conformable biological–electronic interfaces for continuously acquiring high‐fidelity signals, permitting numerous emerging applications. Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) are ideal transducers for flexible and stretchable biosensing due to their soft nature, inherent amplification function, biocompatibility, ease of functionalization, low cost, and device diversity. In consideration of the rapid advances in flexible‐OTFT‐based biosensors and their broad applications, herein, a timely and comprehensive review is provided. It starts with a detailed introduction to the features of various OTFTs including organic field‐effect transistors and organic electrochemical transistors, and the functionalization strategies for biosensing, with a highlight on the seminal work and up‐to‐date achievements. Then, the applications of flexible‐OTFT‐based biosensors in wearable, implantable, and portable electronics, as well as neuromorphic biointerfaces are detailed. Subsequently, special attention is paid to emerging stretchable organic transistors including planar and fibrous devices. The routes to impart stretchability, including structural engineering and material engineering, are discussed, and the implementations of stretchable organic transistors in e‐skin and smart textiles are included. Finally, the remaining challenges and the future opportunities in this field are summarized.

Polymer semiconductors with mobilities exceeding 10 cm2 V−1 s−1, especially ambipolar and n‐type polymer semiconductors, are still rare, although they are of great importance for fabricating polymer field‐effect transistors (PFETs) toward commercial high‐grade electronics. Herein, two novel donor−acceptor copolymers, PNFFN‐DTE and PNFFN‐FDTE, are designed and synthesized based on the electron‐deficient bisisoindigo (NFFN) and electron‐rich dithienylethylenes (DTE or FDTE). The copolymer PNFFN‐DTE, containing NFFN and DTE, possesses a partially locked polymeric conjugated backbone, whereas PNFFN‐FDTE, containing NFFN and FDTE, has a fully locked one. Fluorine atoms in FDTE not only induce the formation of additional CH∙∙∙F hydrogen bonds, but also lower frontier molecular orbitals for PNFFN‐FDTE. Both PNFFN‐DTE and PNFFN‐FDTE form more ordered molecular packing in thin films prepared from a polymer solution in bicomponent solvent containing 1,2‐dichlorobenzene (DCB) and 1‐chloronaphthalene (with volume ratio of 99.2/0.8) than pure DCB. The two copolymers‐based flexible PFETs exhibit ambipolar charge‐transport properties. Notably, the bicomponent solvent‐processed PNFFN‐FDTE‐based PFETs afford a high electron mobility of 16.67 cm2 V−1 s−1, which is the highest electron‐transport mobility for PFETs reported so far. The high electron mobility of PNFFN‐FDTE is attributed to its fully locked conjugated backbone, dense molecular packing, and much matched LUMO energy level.

Published: February 2023

Chronic diseases are currently posing a major challenge not only to our life expectancy and healthspan but also to the healthcare system, as patients will need continual monitoring, treatment, and care to mitigate some of the severe health complications that may arise. Merely frequent visits to medical facilities and clinics may not be sufficient. Home‐based point‐of‐care diagnosis and monitoring may be needed for the prevention and/or management of long‐term complications. Recent advances in materials, fabrication methods, and bioelectronics have led to some epidermal systems that can measure critical physiological parameters and provide long‐term monitoring of several chronic diseases. In this review, it is systematically outlined the progress of epidermal bioelectronics aimed at managing common chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and chronic wounds. Flexible and stretchable materials with related engineering approaches that render wearability are also discussed. Finally, a list of current challenges, future perspectives as well as potential research directions with the aim towards better translation in bringing these wearable technologies from the laboratory to the clinic and market are presented.

Published: February 2023

Requirements for the miniaturization of electronics are constantly increasing as more and more functions are aimed to be integrated into a single device. At the same time, there are strong demands for low‐cost manufacturing, environmental compatibility, rapid prototyping, and small‐scale productions due to fierce competition, policies, rapid technical progress, and short innovation times. Altogether, those challenges cannot be sufficiently addressed by simply using either printed or silicon electronics. Instead, the synergies from combining those two technologies into so‐called hybrid electronics create novel opportunities for advanced capabilities and new areas of applications. In the first part of this review, printing and patterning technologies are presented with potential compatibility with conventional electronics manufacturing techniques. They can be utilized for the fabrication of highly complex structures. Nonetheless, up‐scalability, integration, and adaptation for industrial fabrication remain challenging due to technically limiting factors. Consequently, a special focus is placed on the up‐scalability, availability of commercial printing, and manufacturing machines, as well as processing challenges for high‐volume industrial applications. The second part of this review further provides an overview of exciting and innovative application possibilities of printed electronics, emphasizing sensor applications, as well as additively manufactured integrated circuits.
